Ger Tae Names Ricur.—Some of the papers spell the name of the black republican candidate for Attorney Gen- eral wrong. Itis Charles G. Myers. Great care should “po taken in printing the ballots that every name is given -sorrectly. The omission or addition of a single lever in ‘ene or two counties may defeat some one ef the candi- tates, A New Jersey Soueme.—The Newark Evening Journal ays: This shrewdly suspected that the republicans are playing adecp game in this State in connection with the next Presidency. As under existing circumstances they have ‘no chance of carrying a Southern State in 1860, it is sug- that they elected Mr. Ten Byck, a slaveholder, to Soouia States Senate for the parpose of operating in Congress in the event of the election being thrown in the Bouse; and that they wish to elect Mr. Olden, who made his fortune by slave labor at the South, for the purpose of backing np Ten Ryck, and as a proof of their liberal syma- pay. this is also intended by the leaders to give Day- fon a show for the Cabinet at least, should Seward suc- ved. ' Sovraern Oprxioxs or Dovatas.—The Hon. Eli Shor- ter, M.C., from Alabama, says:—‘ Douglas is a great wan in many senges of the word—great in talent, in ora- ‘ery, in ambition, and in treason to the South and his old party, whieh has showered its honors upon him; but he will find that the State rights democratic party is far greater than himself—he stands not a shadow of ® hance for the nomination at Charleston. I would as soon expect to see that Convention nomi- pate Seward, Hale or Giddings, as Douglas. I would vote for one of them as soon as I would vote for him.” The Mobile Register, however, thinks that “ at the Charleston Convention, Senator Douglas will at once receive the vote of the majority of the Southern States, ‘and eventually the acquiescence of the others.”” ‘Tun Cuarteston Convention.—The Louisville Courier, anti- Donglas organ, thus reveals the scheme by which it ex- pects the South to control the Charleston Presidential Con- vention :— Delegates have already been appointed by several of the Nerthern States to the Charleston Convention. Tae prefe- rences of the delegations are not certainly known, but enough is known to show that the North will not be a unit for any aspirant, From several Northern States there wiil be two sets of delegates. New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois will probably sena double delegations. delegations will be excluded from the Convention until ‘their claims are examined and determined on, and in the meantime the delegation from the Southern States, having a decided majority, will probably go to work, pass the “two-thirds rule,’ and thereby virtually control the Con- vention. Devsiox rx GrorGi4.—General Bethune, the secession ‘sandidate for Congress in the Columbus (Ga.) district, re- ecived ninety-two votes in that city. Ax Exectios Ivcrogyt.—The Savannah Republican gives ‘the following election incident, as occurring at the receat election in that State:— tm a certain be ge CJ bent od — —— was close, and in order to carry it for the democrac: Thema of about one hundred, some say a hundred eh ‘twenty, votes of the “ vote early and vote often’’ class -were called in, or rather bought in, to secure the desired result.

Five dollars was the price per head, and as each voter gotinto the wagon the amount was paid to him. ‘The buyer soon found that he had paid for considerably ‘more than one wagon load, and yet the wagon was com- ‘atively empty. Such a singular state of affairs led Fim to an investigation, when he found that as the ‘ free- man’’ would get into the wagon from one side, after hay- ag received bis five dollars, he would jump out at the ether and come around to be paid over again. One indi- vidual had obtained $165 in this way. Court of Gencral Sessions. Before Recorder Barnard. AN INTERESTING PERJURY CASE—ANOTHER DOG CASB, ETC., ETC. ‘Ocr. 14.—The case of E. Belcher Sackett, who was in- dicted for perjury, was set down for to-day, but when his name was called he failed to answer and the Court order- ed his bail to be forfeited, which was done and the wit- nesses for the prosecution were discharged. The circum. stances of this case are interesting. It appears that at the time John B. Mott, the alleged defaulter of the Union Bank, was arrested, Mr. Sackett presented himself as bondsman for Mott, swearing that he was worth in real estate and other property between $40,000 and $50,000, the bail required being $10,000. Recorder Barnard took pains to search the records carefully, and the result of ‘the examination showed that Sackett was worth nothing. His Honor then took steps to have Sackett indicted by the Grand Jury, and on being arrested he furnished the requi- site amount of bail, which was $10,000. Mr. Samuel FE. Briggs became his surety, and he will now be compeiled to pay the above amount to the Clerk of the Court. Judge Russell was in attendance, before whom the case was to be tried, the Recorder, of course, being the princi pal witness for the prosecution. Late in the afternoon Mr. Sackett was arrested and committed to the Tombs without bail. AN ASSAULT BY A SCHOOL OFFICER. Thomas Farrell, said to be a Sixth ward school officer, ‘who was indicted for an assault with intent to do bodily harm, pleaded guilty to an assault and battery, and, at the request of the complainaat, who was not desirous of pro- gecuting, he was fined $25. % ‘Thomas Hadden, a sailor’s boarding house keeper, who ‘was convicted of assaulting a Jack Tar, was flaed $25. He was afflicted with erysipelas, and bis face presented a hocking spectacle. Were it not for his afflicted condi- tion, the Recorder would have imprisoned him in the Peni- fentlary. 4 FURIOUS DRIVER DISCHARGED.

In consequence of ‘the absence of Miss Redelican, the prosecution was aban- Seer ens ne accused discharged. ‘trict Attorney also abandoned an indictment sfound, against Patrick Bohaman, for receing stolen geods. ‘Wm.

Affairs seem to be going on well at Careysburg. You will See in Our papers accounts of visits made there this year by gentlemen of integrity. One of tho gentlo- men of the Niger valley exploring corps, Mr. Campbell, arrived via England in the July packet, and proceeded from here (Palmas) to Lagos. Thad the pleasure of an introduction to his colleague, Dr. Laney, who arrived at Monrovia a couple of days before I left. I regret that I could not have more conversation with him. He appears to be a very intelligent and energetic man. He expressed himself on his arrival as inexpressibly favorably impressed with Liberia. So far as I had time to cou- verse with him, his views seemed pretty sound. From all I have learned unofficially as yet, he favors the view you express of not operating in the formation of a ew settlement, if prosecuted at all, otherwise than un- der the auspices of this government. He sought ab interview with me a few hours before I left, the object af which was to interchange views with me respecting the object of his mission and his plans; but, being almost im- peratively required by duty to leave, had to refer him to Mr. Secretary Lewis. I shall, no doubt, be favored with an interview with him before he leaves for Lagos. The prs nr png only, objection that would be raised in Liberia to this government exercising supervision over the contemplated settlement would be the vast increase of expense it would subject us to. If we had some asst rance from the United States that the main, if not entire, expense of that settlement, would not for a number af years rest upon this already poor government, that ip Struggling hard each year to keep its finances in a healthy condition, the enterprise under #uch an arrangement would seem feasible, and I feel satisfied that it conld be prosecuted, provided they decide upon making that lection, more successfully under the direction and witl the co-operation of this government than otherwise.

The Vigilauts of the interior parishes of Louisiana do not appear to have suspended their operations. The Attaka- pas Register of the Ist inst. has the following uotice of their late proceedings:— By a letter received in this vill from parties in Vor- million ville, we learn that the Vi it Committee of Lafay- ette parish committed a most horrible murder on Sunday night last, at about midight, upon the person of Mr. Ber nard Laconture, in Cote Gelee. “Mr. Laconture was one of the proscribed and had been forced to leave abouta month since, butfrom the representations in the papers that the Governor had disbandea the Vigilants, was induced to return for the purpose of settling up bis business and re- moving his family. About midnight the house was sur- rounded by Vigilante, and he was ordered to open the door; he refused; the door was then broken open, confiict then ensued and Laconture was shotin the pit of the stomach and through the head, the ball en- tering the brain and penetrating to the back of the head, After the commission of the deed the Vigilants left the house, and as they rode off discharged their pieces at the windows of the house endangering the lives of the inmates, consisting of a number of females and shildren. The mother-in-law of Mr. Laconture in the morning proceeded to the town of Vermillionville for the purpose of making an affidavit before the magistrate and obtaining writs of arrest against the murderers, but no magistrate would receive her statement. She then ap- plied to the Coroner to hold an inquest and elicit the facts attending the murder, but was told that he had resigned his commission and couldnot act. Finding it impossible to obtam justice or to secure the means of redress of the sworn officers of the law, she returned home. That Mr. Laconture had no intention of remaining is evident from the fact that he had sold his property, taking notes there- for, and had converted the notes into money by discount- ing them. ‘The extent of the terror that pervades the population is iMustrated by the following additional extract, which we make from the Regier: From what we can learn through persons from the Vigilant Districts, not residents, but travellers, the popu- i are completely terror-stricken, and anarchy in its most hideous form strides over the land. A gentleman relates that, a few days since," while riding through the prairie in company with another gentleman, and being thirsty, they rode up to ahonse for the purpose of asking for same water; that as they approached, the inmates closed and barred the doors, and refused to open them or hold any communication with them; that, finding it impozeible to obtain water from the house, they rode up to the well, and, on looking into it, they were astonishad to find a number of terror-stricken children secreted therein. Wegive this but as a singlefinstance to corrobo- rate the statement that a complete state of anarchay pre- vails. ‘The Frarkith qa) Banner of the 1st inst. publishes a communication from two highly respectable citizens of Vermillionville, deseriptive of the cruel and barbarous treatment of citteens of that place by the Vixilacoe Committers — Numerous families are said to be in a suffering condition for the want of the necessaries of life, by the action of the Vigilants. Onc man was taken from the side of bis dying child—having lost his wife only a week before—his hauds tied, but subsequently let off on learning that he was not guilly of avy crime. Another man who had been drivan away was.on his return, supposing that his life would be safe, and put up at the house of his motherin law. At midnight the houge was surrounded by the Vigilants and admission demanded. This being refused they broke open the door with an axe, and demanded their intended vie- tim who had secreted himeelf in the second story. The house was oocupied by seven women and ¢ children, The Vigilants rushed up stairs, armed with guns, pistols, &e. The lady of the house heard the order ‘fire’? givep 4x‘ her tom-in-law fell dead.on the spot, receiving a full charge of shot in big face, a’bail in his ‘chin, which tra- versed his head, and another ball in the pit of his stowach. After the Vigilante left the house, and as the mother-in- law was in the act of lifting the body of the dead man, they fired into the window, the balls coming near hitting her in the head. This was on Saturday night, and on Monday morning she came to town to make an’ affidavit ‘against the parties, but could find no officer having suffi- cient ogurage to isane a warrant. An unoffending boy of fonrteeu years was dreadfully whipped by tho Vigilanta. Nor was this all. Dr. C. H.

These time purchases are male on forty to forty-five days time. The importers are in funds to pay these time pnrohases of exchange by recaipts of cash from the late auction sates. These cash reooipts from the auctioneers have enabled importers to meet their pay- mente without asking the usual amount of discounts from the banks, and made them quite independent of the money market. Banks and capHalieta have, in consequence, since nly ‘been compelled to deal with three or four shrewd auction gers as borrowers, instead of about one to two hundred importers. The result hag been that all first class bor. rowers have had decidedly the vantage ground in money negotiations. ‘The price for money has been kept lower than it would otherwise have been by these causes, and also by the readiness with which foreign bankers were willing to Joan money on call at low rates.

The Bank reserve had increased £249,000, but money was in more active demand, The expected advance in breadstuffs has taken place at Liverpool, where all descriptions are quoted slightly higher, except corn, which is steady; but at Lon- don, Barings quote the market very dull. At these cen- tral points the stocks on hand are very heavy, and the least advance caused heavy quantities to be offered for fale. Cotton is reported firm, with an improved tone. Provisions are dull. American securities unchanged. Further details of the news will be found under the usual bead. The money market continues to work very easily. There is not enough paper maturing to absorb the capital which offers, and four months’ paper now goes easily at the legal rate. First class short paper cannot be bought. above seven. The brokers are amply suppliod at six par cent, and the established houses have money left with them at five. Foreign exchange is still rather dull. The leading drawers ask 110 a 11034, but there is very little businces doing, and the market rate cannot be gaia to be higher than 110, while there are good bills for sale below that figure. Francs range from 6.133; to 6.15 for 60 day bills, and 5.1144 for short sight; but the demand is moderate. The steamers of to-morrow will take out the silver which ar- rived for England per North Star, and perhaps half a znil- lion in bullion consigned from this port; of this latter, one- half or more will probably be in silver.

The present prospect of the market is, that the existing stuggishness will con- tinue until either, on the one hind, Central falls enough tempt new buyers into the market, or, on the other, till people generally become satisfied that it is worth more than 80, and buy it at present rates. To-day Contra! it 80, advanced to 8034, and closed at . Galena opened at 73%, advanced 3g, and closed Rock Island was in demand at 63% a 64, closing at 6444 did. Reading declined 1 pér cent, and Michigan Gentral }g per cent; the deeline in both cases being due to the abundance of stock on the market and the want of any outside demand. In State stocks and railway bends there was no change.

The round figures are, this year, entries to the extent of $1,000,000, against $700,000 same week last year, and $1,- 100 000 same week of 1857; making the total import entry to date this year $95,900,000, against $49,000,000 to samd date last year, and $83,000,000 to same dato In 1857. The amount thrown on the market this year is equal to the import entry; in 1867 it was five miltions less. The stock betd over this fall in this city will necessarily be very large.

The jobbing trade of this city exhibits signs of diminution for the past week. Some second orders from the South were re- received, intended to replenish assortments. The Western rade, though moderate, still continues, and it is expected thatarunning demand, more or less active, will exist through the season. ‘The greater portion of Southeru mer rd tah 16 las wen) Nereis Segoe goods, they order them by telegraph er by letter. Ciotu- ing houses are making purchases of light goods, suitable for manufacturing, to be in readiness for the opening sprmg trade. The large amount of produce yielded last year in cotton, Indian corn and wheat, will augment the volume of business. ‘The grainfgrowing and stock raising States of the Northwest will placed in a better position te enter the market next spring, to liquidate past indebt- edness and to pce more goods. Foreign dry goods of the fancy order being in large supply, were heavy, and will, to a consiberable extent, have to be carried over. Desirable and seasonable goods exhibited no material change from our previous quota- ‘tions. Confidence continued to be manifested by the hold- ers of domestic cotton goods under the belief that, in case there should be some accumulation of stocks to be carried over, that the spring trade will bring with it a sufficient! increased demand, by reason of large crops, wo absor' them, and ‘probably bring out orders for some par- ticular lines in advance of production. The stocks of heavy brown sheetings and shirtings were accumulating, while prices were less buoyant, though quotations were nominally the same. Heavy shirtings of 3 have been in good export demand for South America.“ Fine bleached sheetings and shirtings have have been in good request, and in some cases contracts have been made for spring delivery. The stock of drills was moderate, while there continued to be a fair demand for export. Forty yard standard brown pieces wer steady at 8%{c, Bleached were steady at 8%{c. a 9c.

Prints were dull, with a ten- beag Seine) a lower range of prices, except on favorite and fashionable styles, including small figures, &. Owing to the prices of raw wool being sustained, no serious ap- prehension is entertained of any material decline in staple and desirable woollen fabrics. The season for kerseys, Kentucky jeans and linseys being pretty much ovor as far ‘as the South is concerned, they were dull and stock aug: menting. Blankets and flannels were in steady demand. All wool flannels were firm, and low priced goods were gold in advance of supplies. Blue mixed flannels were dull. Shawls of particular styles gutted to the near by Pep cy trade were in fair requeet. Hosiery continued to full. In foreign js, the trade was not active; but consider- ed, to be in main, of a bealthy character, for desira- ble and seasonable descriptions of goods, wile fancy ar- ticles of silks, ribbons, &., continued to be depressed. Plain worsted and woollen dress goods were not pressed upon the market. Black silks and other lines of plain goods were held with confidence. Some styles of prints, with small figures, were saleable at fair prices. Heavy: woollen goods were dull, while light articies, including fancy vestings, &c., were in fair demand. ‘The auction sales the past week, for the seagon of the year, were large, embracing as usual lines of continental and other fancy goods, and gonerelly at low figures, ‘Asale embracing 148 lots of Saxony dross’ goods was made to-day, which dragged, and in most cases realized lower figures.

OUR FAMILY MARKET REVIEW. ‘The business in the retail trade at Washington mare’ — ket during the past week has bean noted for its briskness, with slight changes in almost every kind of marketable produce, In meat trade the wholesale price has advanced ‘8 jittle, but it has not extended to the retail trade, Butter has advanced from lc. to 2c. per pound on prime qualities. The price of eggs has also advanced. In the gama trade we noticed that venison has commenced to arrive from the State of Maine and the northern part of this State. Partridges and prairie chickens are quite plentyand gel at low prices. In the article of apples, & Drew, in their last circular, state that the extensive break in the canal above Schenectady cuts off the by way of that route, and the market is to-day quite bare of good apples, Itis said thata week to ten days must elapse Delve boats cnn peas dis break, and in tas meantime ap- les must be comparatively scarce and high, offering good faducements for prompt shipments of fruit by the: most expeditious routes. Should the weather be unsea- sonably warm, much of the feuit that is now delayed would reach market in poor order. In any event the Present scarcity must be followed by a temporary gst and corresponding low prices. Quotations are now i cult to make, the transactions of the day not being suffl- cient to establish any market rate. ‘The potato rot in New Jersey, to which allusion was made in the last report, still continues its ravages in the ge potato districts, and is said tobe very general. supplies from the North are entirely free frem dis- ease. Pears are very scarce. Fine eating pears are very | high. The receipts of cranberries are very light; they arrive slowly both from the South and East. Quinces are very scarce, and thoge that arrive are quite poor. In the article of honey a full supply bas asrived and is sold at Jow prices. ‘We make the following quotations of the retail prices at, ‘Washington market:— ‘Buer.—Sirloin steak, 15. per Ib.; porter house do.,18¢.; rump do., 14¢; roasting picoes, 13c. a 16¢.; chuck roast, 10c. a 12¢.; corned pieces, 10c. a 12c.
