The President is called upon by friends of Bowen to exercise Executive clemency without ré- gard to rhe opinion of the Attorney General. Here- tofore he has mvyariably refused to take any cog: sauce of petitions for pardon unless they were favorably endorsed by the head of the Department #f Justice.

An adjourned meeting of tea merchants and brokers was held at Roberts’ salesrooms to receive Teports of the committees appointed at a mecting held on the 18'h inst. Mr. John D. McKenzie pre- sided and Mr. R, M. Masterson acted as secretary. Mr. J. B, Arnold, chatrman of Committee on Irregu- larities a the Trade, read a report, in which it ts stated:— Weare learned with regret that great tr e no harsher term, have been rpet sconnes'ed with the trade, bot™ Den tahyeete) paving eaeRarycareting 0 Pr” goticra and brokers, the fonut, "ar periiape = e’Sonus. to the broker for that ’ instances -a, aed Ube latter in receiving ‘he having — ordey = shete of the prot. lt is sal from" the eave occurred in which brokers the ro to purchase tea have procured. » ler two bills of purchase, one for wot nother several cents per pound “the Facer being the basis, of settement wih tho prinoipal, who, of course, is defrauded, the broker the fneiaental or implles Goureat of the seller.

Other instances are mere Yoned alike discreditable to the parlica who practise them but we deem those referred to suttsiert to prove the necessity of reform. oy he report goes on to say that the committee think the adoption of regulations to govern sales by brokers so as to reach every case and yet allow suf- ficient freedom would be impracticabie; but they recommend the appointment of a standing commit- tee to receive reports of discreditable practices by brokers or merchants, Mr. Charles E, Hill read the report of the Commit- tee on Organization. The report pointed out how questions touching customs, lighterage, quarantine, | &c., are left withont any solution, to the injury of \ ¥ interest mvoived, for want of organtzation, No other such important boay, 1t declares, 1s without its exchange or board of trade. The committee recommenied unanimously that an association be 1ormed to include importers, dealers and brokers in sugar, coffee, tea and ether grocery articles, which shall be called the Grocers’ Board of Trade of the city of New York, the member- slip to be confined tof men actively eugaged in the basiness re!erred to, and whose mercautue reputa- free from blemish. The report was adopted, and a board of organizi Huon, consisting of fifty-four gentlemen im the trade, was’ empow' to draw up bylaws for the new Board of Trade and call ils first regular meetings.

Third Bay of the Spring Trot- ting Mecting. Immense Throng of Visitors to Witness the Sport. Whalcbone and Geldsmith Maid the Winners, Boston, June 22, 1871, The trotting to-day brought out an immense throng of New England’s sons and daughters— about ten thousand—the feature of the sport to them being the contest between Goldsmith Mald, American Girl, Lucy and George Palme: 18 such a desire all over the land to witness speed that wherever these horses appear they are sure to attract a large crowd to see them, no matter in What section of the country. it may be. Yankees generally are fast, and they are all lovers of fast horses, They seem to care litule, however, which horse wins, and as they have no favorite they seldom back the horses engaged; and hence pool selling in this part of the country is not a very profitable business to embark in, There was an exception to this rule to-day, however, as the pool room was crowded by specula- tors during the trots. Besides the ubove mentioned race, another that had its attractions came off, This was between horses that had never beaten two minutes and thirty seconds, which had twelve entries, eight of them coming to the scratch when calicd for, and they made a race, so fur as close contention and speed for their class were concerned, much superior to the others in the first trot. Royal John Was so great a favorite tat he was gold for two to one over the field. The other horses in some of the pools were sold’ without tim. Chariey Green then had the call over any other horse in the race, and in many instances sold for as much as all the others combined in the sales without Royal Jonn, Whale- bone was the second choice and Belle of Toronto the third, the others being lumped as a fleld. IN THE BIG TROT Goldsmith Maid was excluded from the pool sales, and American Girl sold for a trifle more than Lucy and Paimer together. The norsee that were entered in the first trot were Dan Mace’s bay mare Lydia Thompson, W. H. Weodrun’s bay gelding Whaicbone, HL A.

Whulebone, to the surprise of his owner and many others who knew him best, won the race in most excellent time. Royal Johi took the second prize and Climax the third, ‘The names of the horses that started in the “ big race,’ a3 it was called, are given above. Tho race was Won, as every person supposed it would be be- fore they entered the track, by Goldsmith Maid, Lucy taking the second premium and Palmer the third. American Giri was taken ill during the first heat, and was allowed to be withdrawn by the Judges after she had been examined by a veteri- narian. This was a very uusatisfactory race to the multitude who came expressly to see wonderful time made by these famous horses, and murmurs were uttered by thousands as they left the track for their homes. There shou'd be some way of com- pelling these horses to show thew best Umqin all races. THE FIRST TROT, ‘The horses had a very straggling Btart, ome-halt of them belag on a run when me Word was given.

They Defeat the Pets of tho National Capital—, Good Victory, but a Tame Game— Score 12 10 4 About five thousand persons assembled on the Union grounds yesterday afternoon to witness the first game of the season between the Olympics, of Washington, and the Mutuals, of this city. The Washingtonians, it will be remembered, were badly defeated in Philadelphia the day vefore, and when they went into the field yesterday it was with determination to offset the remembrance of that by winning a. ball from the “Master Mutes.’? This determination availed them nothing, however, for they did not have even the ghost of a chance of beating the boys in ‘green hose atany polutdarimg the game. From the first the Muvuals took the lead, and, by virtue of good, saie batting, maintained it throug? out, The first ron the Olympics scored was obtained on 8 “muil,” by Start, in the seventi mning, he drep- ping “hot ball thrown him by Ferguson. The first five runs the ‘“Mutes’? got they earned fairly and squarely by some batting as Ane as has been seen on the Union ground for along time.

On the strength of what we were told by a Hberal member of the Reichstag but a few days ago we sup- Posed the difculty which arose out of the discussion on the Alsace aud Lorraine bill between that body and Prince Bismarck had been full, settled, and that “order again reigned in Warsaw.” Such, however, ig not the case; Prince Bismarck seems deeply offended, and has given the cue to. his own and other officlal organs to come down sledge-hammer- like upon the opposition. We always bave asserted that Court and conservative circles entertained a deep hatred for parliamentary rule, and on this in- signiticant occasion it bursts forth in full blast. In quoting @ few passages from yes- terday’s leader of the Bismarck organ, it may be ‘well to prelude them by saying that the language and tone of said leader are altogether contrary to What is here considered ‘parliamentary decency,” & term Which, about these regions, implies careiully guarded expressions, @ roundabout, but polite way Of assaillng an antagonist; in fine, a constant cxem- phification of Tatlyrand’s motto, ‘Language is given us to conceal our thoughts.” Were we not correct, hen, in denying all along that MUCH VAUNTED PROGRESS of Prussian liberty and 1u expressing apprehension that, regardless of the constitutional rights of the people, government would endeavor to force its lron absolutism upon the whole German realm. Theim- Pudent aposirophe of the Nurd Deutsche Aligemeine commences thus:—‘'The position lately taken by the German Parliament against the admugistration is such that everybody gifted with the least judgment must feel its danger. .The present Reichstag, the interpreter of the Joyous and graieful sentiment of the German people, and the agent destined to develop and utilize the immense acquisitions otagreat period, ought to have deemed its para- mount aim to strengthen and promote that spirit to Wich these acquisitions are due; namely, a cordial Understanding between the people and the goveru- ment. It was with this direct injunction; 50 plain to every patriotic mind, that this first German Reichstag was called, and under this auspice 16 commenced its lavor.

MEXICO. LATEST MAIL NEWS.

Crry or Mexico, June 1, 1871. One of the opposition newspapers of yesterday's issue announced that ‘a mecting of the Porfirio Diaz of this city, known as the Central Ciub of the People, has been held, at which, among other mat- ters introduced, a recent New York Heracp edl- torial, entitled ‘Mexico, Her Manifest Destiny,’ ‘was read, prodpcing a profound impression. Then Gen, Negrete arose and said that before such a danger should threaten the country as was foreshadowed in the article all divisions among Mexicans should cease, and that as the present administration would be culpable in case of a designed conflict he pro- Posed that a committee be named, or that the olub itself should go en mss’ and ask the President of the republic what attitude he would take in case of a foreign war in which every Mexican of heart was disposed to take part, and, above all, that he should say definitely If there was any grave reason to fear such @ war As was generally announced by the American press—if tt was @ fact.
