of the absence of io \ every European
port keeps open, aud shipments' are
hastened. Foreign arrivals aud damp?
ness of the weather operate against an
advance in tho price of wheat. Not
one European market notes a rise,

and shippers are hanging back, not?
withstanding the reduction in freights.

on Appropriations would hold a meet?
ing to-day to commence the work of
preparing the regular appropriation
bills in advanoe of the assembling of
Congress, but no quorum was present.
Messrs. Garfield, Starkweather and
O'Neill are now here, and Wheeler, of
New York, and Hale, of Maine, will
arrive to-night. A majority of the
committee will undoubtedly be here
this week, when the estimates of the
various departments will be distributed
to the individual members, who will
prooeed to prepare the bills committed
to their respective charge.
The Senate Committee ou Appro?
priations will assemble here on the
loth instant, with a view to laying out
their work and making detailed exami?
nations of the various features of tbe
civil service, so as to be prepared to
act promptly upon the annual appro?

between Meoor City, Tenueasee, aud
Hiokman, Kentucky, is also burning,
and the fire tp reading rapidly; dj
stroying the Bianding crops, fences,
bay and other stooks nithin a radius
of ten miles. Tho smoke is so dense
in villages near the scene of the fire,
that the citizens are afraid to sleep
lest they be suffocated. A light rain
fell yesterday, but not enough to ex?
tinguish the fire, whiob has already de?
stroyed thousands ofj^ollars worth of
property.
New York, November 11.?Consi?
derable apprehension is expressed at
the result of the enforcement of tho
recent resolution of the steamship meu
to reduoe the wuges of the longshore?
men. The latter declsre their inten?
tion to resist the reduction, and that if
euforced, 5,000 men employed on the
docks of Now York, Brooklyn, Jersey
City aud Hobokeu will stop work Mon?
day morning. The result will be at
most the entire suspension of the ship?
ping trade during the strike, as their
places cannot bo filled with inexperi?
enced hands. The membership ot the
Longehoremeo'n Union reaches 10,
OU0, and they are better united than
any other class of laborers; on the
other hand, the steamship ageuts claim
that they cannot afford to pay tho pre?
sent rates, and determined to make
the proposed experiment a disagree?
ment between the coopers aud em?
ployees, not on account of wages, bat
the employees insist upon the dissolu?
tion of the unions, whose arbitrary
regulations of labor methods are a bone
of conten tion.

Oue of the most notable features of the

public and private buildings. Every
man who could make, beg or borrow a
star spangled banner, hud oue floating
from his house, aud ull were greeted
with cheers by the people, 15,000 in
cumber. It was the grandest Union
demonstration in the South siuce the
war. Some negroes are going about
selecting new masters, under the im?
pression that they wiii be sold again
into slavery. The whites in vain will
endeavor to reassure them. Conserva?
tive blacks mingled with the whites iu

together. The expressiou is of re?
newed kindness to the colored race.

Washington, November 11.?Trea?
surer Spinner, in his annual report,
says ooustant complaints have been
made, und uro being made, that the
laws made as to the issuing and circu?
lation of notes other than those autho?
rized by Aot of Congress, are evaded
in large sections of the oountry, aud
iu many localities they are utterly dis?
regarded. Ho says the latter is par?
ticularly the oase iu the States of
Georgia aud Alabama. Most of these
violations of law are by municipalities
and manufacturing companies. Ho
says: "I cm speak of this evil from
personal experionco and observation.
Iu localities at tho South almost the
entire circulation consists of looal is?
sues, that aro put upon everybody iu
change. Unless used in pluce of issue,
they are worthless to the holders. This
is particularly true of the fractional
enrrenoj. Forthin, I there has never
beon the poor excuse that there was
not curreuoy enough, as the amount
authorized by law has never been is?
sued from the Treasury, being restriot
ed and reduoed by tho isaus aud oiroa*
lation, in violation of law, of this ille?
gitimate and almost worthless curren?
cy. Now tbat banking under the na
tional system is measurably free, that
excuse will not hold. By Act of March
20th, 18G7, it is enacted that every na?
tional banking assooiation, State bank
or banker, or assooiation, shall' pay a
tax of ten per cent, on the amount of
notes of any town, city or municipal
corporation paid out by theui. Tbl?
enactmeut does not reach the root of
the ovil. The law should be so amend?
ed and changed as to compel the pay?
ment of the tax by municipalities, com?
panies or individuals who make the
original issue of such unuuthorizid
circulating notes. Bankers and busi?
ness men ut the South assured me that
even such a 11.\ would not prevent the
issue of this kiudof currency, aud that
the ouly t-ffdctuul way to abolish the
nuisauce, would be to declare the is?
suing of any kind of obligation, with
a view to its circulation us money, u
misdemeanor, punishable by Uue or
imprisonment, or both, by any cum t
having cognizince thereof."

St. Locxs, November 11.?The
strike of the coal miners at St. Clair,
opposite this city, continues. A meet?
ing wus held yesterday, at which it
wan resolved that work in all the mines

every compauy in it accede, aud ail
uon-uuiou men join the Miner's Uuiou
and agree to be goverued by the same

crease iu the hours of labor, and just
weight. The Uuiou men also insist
that all Don-union men, or blacklegs,
as t hoy are oalled, shall join the Uuion.
There is a great deal ot uneasiness iu
Bellville, and ooosiderable apprehen?
sion felt tkat trouble, if not bloodshed,
will follow. To avoid this, if possible,
n militia company has been formed,

intend to resort to violenoe, but are

?arioos irregularities. A strong case
will be mado against the admission of
tho returns from Galboun's Mills, on
tho ground, among others, that the
box was not opened before 8 o'clock;
that the box was not looked; tbat
Gaorgiuns were permitted to vote; and
that a large number of repeaters were
admitted to vote. It is thought that
the Commissioners will declare W. P.

the ground that bis next highest com?

j Sunday Amusements in New York
Some of tho New York theatrical ma?
nagers uro throwiug off the restraints
of the law respecting those enactments
prohibiting the performance of drama?
tic umusements on Sunday. Max Stra
koscb leads tho van, and has already
obtained a temporary injunetiou
against the public authorities to pre?
vent their interference in the Sunday
concerts given by the opera troupe
under bis direction. On last Sunday
"Li Traviata" was given at the Grand
Opera House, "Uurba Bine" at the
Stadt (German) Theatre, and Buffalo
Bill aud his Indian allies mado the
walls of tho old Bowery Theatro ring
with hunting songs und war whoops.
The New York Herald, in summing up
these violations of luw, Bays:
"Sunday amusements of u harmless
uud n lined character are absolutely
necessary to tho morality of u great
city. It is far b -tter to spend Suuduy
evening iu u theatro than in a bar?
room, uud busbuuds would do well to
take their wives to the opera, instead
of seld.ihly wasting their time and
money iu the low gin-shops which
abound iu New York. We have seen
as yet no evidence that' dramatic and
musical pcrformaur.es ou Sunday in?
terfere with moro serious devotions,

A woman claiming to be Belle Boyd
arrived in Atlanta aud advertised that
she would lecture to the people of
that meek aud lovely town. The At?
lanta Nreivs suid sho was an impostor,
because, the genuine Belle Boyd, with
all her faults and Bins, and her devo?
tion to the Confederacy, which ex?
piated many of her short-comings,
wua buried ou the far-off Paoi?o slope.
The Belle, so-called, armed herself
with a ouplo of pistols and went for
the News man, who succeeded, bow
ever, iu preventing the infuriated wo?
man from doing any damage, and
placed her iu the bands of the police.
''Belle" was bailed out, and announced
that sho would lecture in the Kimball
House ball-room last night. She
maintains that she is the genuiuu
"Belle."
Major Lewis Merrill declared, just
before the electiou in Louisiuna, that
if the Kellogg ticket should be elected,
ho would "give tho white people hell."
Well, the Kellogg ticket has buen de?
feated, aud the donation of hell conse?
quently postponed. We may rest as?
sured, however, that Major Merrill
would not have performed the work for
nothing, but would have demanded
uud received a good round sum for his
services. As his bill in South Carolina
ran "tho Statu Dr. to Major Lewis
Merrill, to urrestiug 2,000 Ku Klux, ut
Sil) per K. K., S'20,000," bo it would
ran in Louisiana?to giving the people
hell at so much per head, so many
thousand dollars. Thrifty ruffian, Muj.
Merrill.

The free-love commanitj whiofa was
to be ostabliebcd on Valcoar Island,
Lake Obamplain, baa proved a failure.
It had hardly a beginning. It is a
significant fact that nearly all the com?
munities, whether free-love or mono- -
gamio, whiob have been founded in
this eonntry, have enjoyed only a
brief existence, with the exception of
those in Ooeida County, N. Y., and at
Wallingford, Conn., of which J. H.
