Thus far it has produced no effect on tbe quinine market. TUE citizens of New York City 'will probably tender a public reception to General GRANT about the 25th of Augnst. A few days later in the same month an immense Itepnblican ' mass meeting icili be he held in New York, at which SPna tor CONKLING will , make the leading speech.' General GRANT; General LOGAN and many other prominent Republicans will be present. General GRANT will Ties iii3oston id SepteMber as the guest of the Middlessex Club. FOR a mouth or more past France hits been a large buyer of wheat in the Ameri can market, and now that the demand from that quart& has slackened, British exporters, in consequence of the excess ive rains in England and Ireland, have 4 entered the market and have been buying { freely. This condition of affairs . points to an import of gold from Europe, which, if it should assume any considerable, pro portions, must add to the bank reserves and so become another favorable fract& in the future of the monetary situation. THE remaining "twin relic" of barbar ism' is not flourishing at a very alarming rate, if the recent eensug6T the Mormon realm is tp be taken as a measure. One hundred and forty-four thousand pCople in all Utah inlBBo, against 86,786 in 18:0, is not sufficient to warrant much of a scare, especially when it is Considered that 32,000 of the ,presetit population are not Mormons. The increase of the, '3lor mons is prthably n t beyond the, rate of 0,500 a year, and at that hate it will be a long, time before they either demoralize :9r capture the United States.

LUley GENERAL GRANT arrived at Leadville, Colorado; on Thursday evening, and was received with grcatnnthusiasm. A com pany of mounted police, two companies of cavalry, five companies of infantry, the city tire department, and 500 Union vet erans!escorted him frdm the railroad sta tion to the hotel.--The line of march was brilliantly illuminated and.decorated with evergreens and lbws, and it is estimated that nearly 30,000 people were on the streets. A salute of 100 guns was fired while the proccasion Wits movingt-wrGen oral GRANT excused himself from making a speech on account of hoarseness. THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK It is yet early in the canvass to talk about the organization of parties, as regards the hard and effective work of the campaign, or to prog nostiste with any' degree of cer tainty as to probable results. So far as the Rebublicans are concerned, it isladmitted that the party was never in abetter condition for a vigorous and_ successful canvass. There are ncfdivitsiOns, - no jealousies, no - Wait: burnin,gs, no disappointments. The nomination of GARFIELDrId'A ILTHUR has been accepted with an _unanimity and cordiality which-is as unexampl .ed as it is gratifying, and which is a sure augury of success. The friends of the unsuccessful aspirants for nomination have no resentments to gratify. They earnestly sought, by all fair means, to bringnbOut desired results, but failing in that, they chcerlully acquiesced in the decision of the Chicago • Convention. The leaders, Who in that body, so val;ant ly and persistently championed the cause of GRANT, BLAINE or SHERMAN, will be the most active and useful in marshalling the Republican hosts for the • pending battle. LORAN, CAM, ERON, CONKLINO and. the plumed Knight of Maine, will give their best. energies to save the country from Democratic misrule. SCHURZ has• ,already spoken, in the calm, persus i sive language of which he is master, and FENTON is not a laggard in the fight. There is.no skulking nor sulk ing, but everywhere past differences are forgotten, and past offences for given, because of the great peril which threatens the country, and the itn- . minent danger of Democratic aF-eend atcy through, the power of_ a Solid South.' And it is equally.gratifying to . know, what is the fact, that never, in the excited catnpaigns of the past, has the first of August found 9le Re publican party so well organized and in molt a state of preparation as it is this Year. The work has been done quietly and spontaneously—the peo ple recognize the ne:3essity• for vigi lance and labor—and consequently before the State Committee has be-, gun its labors, many district organiza tions have been accomplished. ' This is one of the healthiest and most - cheering signa l of the times. The _people arc taking hold of the canvass in. earnest. While they - recognize Old co-operate with-the Central Corn mittee, yet each Club Is 4leposed to be seltrellaut liggrepdva iihd active on its own account, Instead of weak ly waiting for assistance from abroad. The Setlit3MS and factions and divi sions in both patties are fast giving way to the importance and necessi ties of the main issues. It is calculate upon any thing excepting a • sTiare, solid, party fight. There will not be by November, any side issues, ner any bolting or division. The two contending parties will absorb all the fragments and all the cliques, and neither Jons Kivu', nor WALLecx,- bor'VAUX, no, any other Democrat will have power, evict if he. bad the, disposition, to draiv off votes form the Deinoet4itie candidates., Happily, there are no', troubles to be reconciled, no breaches to be healed, in the Re publican party. Every man, who has any right to claim himself as a Re pnblican, is earnest and, active and cordial in support of GARFIELD. oC elisions' loudly advertised cases of defection are , sporad.c, and common to every Presidential contest, and much less numerous and important this time than usual. Iley grow out of ditappointed ambition, the envy . and chagrin of unapreeiated self-esti mation, and the unworthy and selfish considerations which unhappily pre dominate in too many breasts. But for every one of these cases, there. are a hundred converts to the Repub lican cause, whose accession is orought about by a desire to con tinue the present prosperity of the country, and from a 'wild that it is/ ,not wise nor safe to, surrender the , crovernment into the hands of the Confederates. The Democracy having sought to embarrass the government in its efforts to put 'down the Rebellion; having, repeatedly declared the war was a failure; having on .all occa sions endeavored to belittle,the hero ic deeds of our brave soldiers; having tried to render of no account the plans for. re-establishiriethe power of the Nation' and the purpose to, Make treason odioiv,; having done all that hatred and enyy could do to dispar age' the chieftains who so gallantly let! the Union armies—has suddenly stultified itself by nominating as its candidate' a gallant soldier, whose only merit is ids bravery din the field, and who is without any of the ante cedents which should make him the candidate Of that party, r orLany, Of the qualifthatiOns which fit him for the Executive chair. Having failed to divide the Union; having failed to overcome Alie Union armies; having failed to convince the people that the Democratic party and its leaders are worthy ot: trust; the party has tried the device of putting forward' a Gen eral of admitted:patriotism and cont.- - age, tcioiask the rebel batteries. It was expected .that Party "-could- be merged ha l the General. That • the Past, the present, the :future, would all be forgiven or forgotten, when the rebel yell was laid aside, and shouts went up from Confederite throats for thd 'Mime - hero. • It was a repetition of ,the fable of . the asiand the lion's skip. And it' failed, utterly and com pletely. The plot was 'based upon a low estimate of the patriotiamOfthe soldier, and of the intellikr,ence and perception of the voters. They may honor and respect Gen. ; 11AbicocK, but when he becomes the tool of the Democrat', he is repudiated by those who foughtonder his flag. He might lead the brave boys into the very jaws of death,_ but. he cannot lead them into the Democratic camp. The political situation then may be summed as follows: Ist,The Republican party is united.andlactice. 2d—All the divisions in the Democ racy will be healed up, at least until after November. 3d.- - -The nomina tion of HANcocK to catch the soldier's Cote is a failure. 4th—That a united and earnest Republican party means a a Solid North, and the election of GAItFIELD and Anil Mi. THE WILMOT PROVISO The death of Judge BRINEEMIOIT, of Mansfield, Ohio, has revived the discussion about the authorship of the celebrated WILMOT Proviso. This proviso it will be remembered was offered by Mr. WILMOT as an amend ment to the bill giving President POLK the means to negotiate a peace with. Mexico, and looking to the ac quisition of territory from the ,Mexi can government. The proviso was copied from the old Jeffersonian or dinance, and was in the folkswing terms : Provided, that as an express an] fundamental condition to the acquisition of any territory from the Republic of Mexico ny the tTnited States by virtue of any treaty which may be negotiated be tween them,. and to the use by the Executive of the moneys berMu appropriated, neither slavery nor involuntary Aervitude shall ever exist in any part of said territory except for crime, whereof the party shall first be duly convicted. This amendment, which has receiv ed the name of the WlLmor Proviso, was offered by Judge WILMOT, then a Democratic member from this Con gressional district, and was the com mencement of the a.nti"-slavery eu . ssions in Congress which finally disrupted parties, and through the persistence of the slave holders in their determination to extend the area of human bondage, brought•T•n the Rebellion, and the final emanci pation of the slaves. The history of this now historical and famous pro viso, which has made Mr. Wir.mor's name a household word throughout the land, as we have heard it given by him, does not vary materially from the published statements. Mr. WILmoT never claimed thel. author ship of the Proviso, whiteh was copied from the Jefferson isk ordi ,nance, nor did he take credit;or claim honor from the fact that he - offered the amendment. When • the Two Million bill, as it Was ea led; was in troduced; the anti-slaverk men of the Rouse, believed that the object of the measure was to acquire territory from Mexico for the purpose of ex, tending the area of slavery, It Tu. agreed amongst a select few of those opposed to the extension of slavery, that an pmendinat a** be offet ed to the bill, in the teria of the re. etriction of the Jeffersonian °Mi nna. &pies of the proiriso were . made by Poveral members , with the :understanding that the_` first to get the door was to move it as an amend meat. Mr:. Wilmer, who was theria free-trade Democrat, in favor with the Speaker,was recognized af'in early day, and to the great surprise Pf the Speaker, no doubt, introduced the already prepared amendment. Had Judge BRINKERHOFF succeeded in first catching the Speaker's eye, the proviso would doubtless' have been known as his—or half a dozen other members if similarly favored, would have been ready with the same pro viso. This will explain why amongst judge BRINKERHOFF'S papers was re- Gently found a copy of the proviso, in, his , hand writing. The proviso was adopted in the House by a vote of 94 to '7B, but two Northern men (DoeoLAs and MOCLESNAND) voting against it. It was, however, defeat ed in the ,Senate, once bit adjourn ment, and again b f , a refusal to act apart it. • Mr. WILMOT while he had the dis tinction of having offered the pro viso, never claimed the credit of be ing its originator or author. It was the result of a consultation and agreement on the part of several free-soil members to oppose and pre vent the.aequisition of territory-de -signed for the extension of slavery. Mr. WILMOT'S great merit lay in the -641elity with which he adhered to the principle of the Proviso, and the ability with which he advocated Free Soil doctrines. Many of those who voted with the majority when the measure was introdneed afterwards proved faithless, unable to resist the blandishments and temptations of the Slaveocracy, but he, like Judge BRINKERHOFF, fought the good tight, and lived to witness; the overthrow of that barbaric institution which was once so ".potent.lFi the halls of Congress. Tits latest invention of the enemy is in the shape of a wilful and deliberate false hood, alleging that the case involving the parties to the Ds GOLTER pavement coti . - tract in Washington was carried before the Supreme Court of the United States, and that Justice SWASNE delivered a de cision last October in which he declared, that the agreement with. General GAR FIELD to pay him $5,000 for arguing the merits of tho pavement before the-Board' of Public Works - Was a sale of official in fluence. The story is utterly devoid of truth. The facts are these : '.At the May term of the Cook-bounty Circuit Court in Chicago in 1875, before Judge FARWELL, GEORGE R. CITITTMTPEN, a lobbyist, who had been employed by the firm of Ds GOLTER k MCCLELLAN io,obtain paving • contracts for their' in Eastern cities, brought suit i:glinst them, because, as he 'claimed, they had not kept an agreement to pay him one-third of the profits. Upon all contracts so obtained, which would entitle him to about $lOO,OOO on a con tract secured in Washington. The de fendants disputed the payment of the money on the grounds that the contract - was void on its face, and that it was ob tained by the plaintiff by improperinflu ence. .1. R. DOOLITTLE, who appeared as counsel for the defendants, submitted among other points a statement that in a similar case decided in the Supreme Court the previous October Judge SWAY NE had held that a contract for purely-profession al services is valid, but such services are separated by a broad lino from 'personal solicitation and from official influence. "The agreement with Gen. GARFIELD, a memberof Congress," DOOLITTLE went on to say, "to pay him - $5,000 as a con tingent fee for procuring a contract which was itself made to depend upon a future appropriation by Congress, which could only come from a committee of which ho was chairman, was a sale of official influ ence which no - veil can cover against the plainest principles of public policy "—anu more of the same sort, This language is now traveling through Democratic papers all over the country as pact of a deliver ance from the highest judicial bench by Justice SWAIN, whereas, in point of- fact, no such language was ever employed by Justice SWAYNE. The case in question never came before him, and the much quoted censure .of Gen. GARFIELD Wag only a part of a lawyer's plea in a matter decided five years ago. THE exports of breadstuffs from the United States for the fiscal year ending with June 30th reached the enormous to tal of $277,3,26,762, the largest amount for any one year in the history - of the country. This places breadstuffs in the front rank of our export trade: for in no other line of products does theietal reach these figures, and the only s approaeh to' them is found in cotton and provisions. Our shipments of breadstuffs have been growing in importance almost year by year since 1870, when the total rose to $72,250,933. In 1871 the total was $79,- 381,187,, in 1872 $84 2 1586,273, in 1873 498,- 745,151, and in 1874 $161,198,864. From this point there was a considerable reac tion, and in 1875 our breadstuffs exports declined to $111,458,265. \ Phis was fol lowed by, a marked improvement in 1876. when the total was $131,181,555. From this there was another falling off, and in 1877 the total . receded to $117,806,476.. For the three succeeding years there was a great increase each year,tbe totals being 4181,777,841 for 1878, .4201,776,499 for -1879, and $27',226,762 for 1880. During those Years the population of the United States has steadily increased, - and with this gain in population there has been also a marked increase in the annual pro duction of grain, consequent upon the opening up to civilization and cultivation of the rich prairie lands of the *est, Northwest and Southwest. The United States have been growing in importance . as an agricultural country, and no better evidence of this is needed than the returns of- our exports of breadstuffs. Agricul ture, a great source of wealth to any coun try, is particularly so to our own, for we see in the facts before us that the exports of grain.and flour alone have done much within a few, years to change our relations with the critter world from a debtor to a creditor . .people.

Who Is to decide when the - most cheating came In f" GENERAL U. S. GRANT, who in 1877 Was elected Chairman of the Republican organization known as the "Boys in Blue," to succeed General Dix, deceased, issued a general order on the.22d instant that "the members for each State of the National Committee off. the Union Vete rans' Unionrit once proceed to organizo the 'Boys in Blue' in 'their respective States to promote the election of Gan nELl) and ARTHUR," and that "the or ganizations of 'Boys in Blue' .report to the department commanders in their re-. spective States." The first State to take action in accordance with General GRANT'S order was New York. On the twenty-third instant, General CHARLES K. GRAHAM, head of the organization in that State, issued an order directing the 4- Boys in Blue" to organize "companies" - and "regiments" at once to promote the election of GARFIELD and ARTHUR. The ma:in:min number of men to constitute a company is flied at 100, the minimum at 50 ; the maximum of a regiment at 100th, the minimum at i 300. "The captains of any six companies may consolidate their respective commands into is regiment; and the commissioned officers of the compa nies merged should then elect by ballot the proper regimental field officers. The Colonel will appoint the regimental com missioned and non-commissioned staff." Au address to Union soldiers and sailors is to be issued. Buti.Dixo a tunnel under ,the Hudson river to connect New York with Jersey City, is a stupendous .undertaking, and one which could hardly be accomplished without the sacrifice of human life.' It seems inevitable that all such enterprises which call foe the exercis3 of skill, perse verance and courage, demand a certain number of human victims before success ful consummation. On Wednesday morn ing, twenty lives were sacrificed in the - Hudson river tunnel now in the course of construction at the foot of Sixteenth street, Jersey City. Eight of the laborers had a narrow escape. The entrance to the' tunnel is through a rcular perpendicu lar shaft 30 feet in diameter and GO feet deep. A leak occurred tit the junction of this shaft and the river, and before it •could be stopped the water rushed in and covered up twenty men who were at work in the tunnel. Eight men escaped through the heroism of a foreinan named WoopLAND who lost his own life that the eight might be saved. He deliberatel • gave orders which her knew, and the men knew, would cause the loss of his life, but save theirs. Work *as immediately commenced to dig another tunnel to reach the buried men, but the difficulties in the way of -reaching them are so great that some days • will • elapse before it will be. successful. JUSTIN!: SWAYN a. of the Supreme Conrt makes the following statement in. regard to tha recent Democratic rtxwbaek that lie had severely condemned Ceneral GAR: FIELD'S course iwthe DE GOINER matter in an official opinion : "I never wrote a word of what is attributed to, me with quotation marks. I never knew anything of the facts of the matter charged'against General GARFIELD, and it was certainly never in any shape before the Supreme Court. I bad, therefore, neither occasion nor opportunity to express any judicial opinion upon the subject. It is not stated where any case in which General GAR FIELD was concerned is reported. My confident impression is that I never beard of such a case before. GenerAGAUFIELD is a personal friend of mine; and I have' the highest confidence in hilt integrity : The statements in the , W AI are an en tire fabrication and without. particle of truth to sustain them." THE visit of ...Ex-Empress EcortmE to the grave of the first NAPOLEON at St. He lena has about it the element of romance. He was amfined-m. the lone rock by Eng lish powet, and the tlieoVy has been 4teadily • maintained that his life was shortened bY,Enelish harshness and se verity. Now the Widow of his nephew„ under the pattonage of the Queen of Eng land, and tuppcitted by her sympathy and favor, visith the grave where the ex-Em perm- once lay and inspects the place where he died. This too, on her way home, from a much more 'sorrowful milt sion to the placc!where her son was 'slain while professedly serving with the Eng glish—the persecutors and oppressors of his great uncle. Time makes many mar - 7 vellous changes, and this is one of them. THE question of the dleged• Spanish outrages in firing upon American vessels is apparently reduced to an issue of fact. The Spanish authorities deny that'any in sult was designed, and claim as a justifi cation for overhauling the two schooners that they were witfriri a marine leagrie of the Cuban coast at the time they were fired on. This is denied by the captain of the Meritt, who asserts that they were at no time within six miles of the shore. One thing is certainthat two fruit vessels have Seen quite extensively advertised without host. Sattirday, night, the borough of West Chester 44'd a grand ilemcmatration in favor of GAIIFIELIi: and Ammon, the principal feature of which , was a torch light display of ,ftepublicins in uniform, the procession being a mile long.

THE manufacture of parlor matches has mad the firm of Swill' (t . Cot:Trim, of Wilzhington,. Bel., very wealthy. The junkfr member of the firm, Mr. Cottax say, is said to keep withinhla own breast the secret of the preparation which has made his matches so popular and given them such a wide sale. But he, evidently had forgotten that there are another style of matches said to be matte in Heaven, for it' turned out that having a .fair daughter of 19 summers, she allowed her affections to sprout for a young nurseryman, named IiANDEIq, and in ab aence of paterfamilias, the young couple were made one flesh, and the sequel was Vat they are now quietly and blissfully residing near Philadelphia, awaiting the time when pardon and a parent's blessing will 1111 to the brim the cup of their hap piness. Tna census will show a population in the linked States of about 48,500,000. These flt,nres give ns data for comParison. In the last ten years our rate of increase has been 27 per cent. From 1860 to 1870 it was nearly 23 per cent. From 1850.t0 1860 it was 35 per cent. The average rate of growth from 1790 to 1850 in each recurring ten years was a little less than 33 per cost. It will be - seen from these figures that our growth in population suffeted no material check until the civil war: We havd not yet recovered , from thit disastrous shock. Had the old rate of • increase continued through the last twenty years our population would now be 56,090,000 instead of 48,000,000. PHILADELPHIA LETTER. PM LAD ILL PIiTA, Julys, ISO The Board of Guardian's of the Poor have declined to transfer any of their in sane patients to the new Slate Insane As ylum at Norristown, on the grounds that they can support them at a - cheaper rate, and fear that they eeuld:be made respon sible for the difference in cost of mainte nance. They also believe that their pa tients could only be transferred to the Asylum by the Courts ordering a general delivery from-the Almshouse. The Board of Directors of the Pennsyl vania Illailroakhas pasSed resolutions de claring that it has been-the avowed policy of the Company to keep aloof from all . political Contests, and to discountenance the partici, ation therein of its. officers and . employes ; that, while it disclaims any desire to interfere with their individ ual rights of suffrage, the 'Company will regard any attempt of its officers, etc., to control the votes of its employes, or _per vert their influence to the support of any political party as a "direct violation of the standing rules and regulations, and inconsistent with the interests of the • Company." General Henry f. Huidekoper has been appointed Postmaster of Philadelphia, somewhat to the surprise and disappoint ment of those who were urging the claims of other aspirants. General' H. was Col onel of the 150th, regiment, P. V., and lost an arm at Gettysburg. The only ob lation that can 'possibly be urged against the selection, is a doubt as to whether ho is a. citizen of Philadelphia. It is admit ted that he will make a courteous and efficient Postmaster, and administer his, Olt 30 on "business principles." The estate of Robert Morrits the great financier of Revolutionary times, has just been finally adjudicated by. the Orphans' Court, seventy-four yearn after his death. Morris issued his own notes for a million and a half when the infant nation needed funds, and retired from office a rich man. By a series of laud speculations, however, he died poor, with a number of debts clinging to his estate. A young daughter of J. R. Fanshawe, Secretary of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, was drowned recently at At lantic City. The father was possessed of strange forebodings the day the unfortu nate accident occurred, and was Continu ally expressing apprehensiveness lest something. terrible should happen. He returned to Philadelphia, from Atlantic City, as usual, on the morning train, to attend to the duties of his position,' but ho was so depressed by the feeling' that something awful was aboiat to occur that ho could scarcely attend to any business. Ho expressed Tegrets especially that he had left Atlantic City. without telling his little daughter not to go into .bathe. His depression of spirits continued deepening until noon, when the fearful news of his daughter's death by -drowning was con veyed to him by a telegraphic despatch. The Pennsylvania Railroad CoMpany are about to erect at Philadelphia, Pitts burg, Altoona, Harrisburg, Columbia, Jersey City, and other points along the line of their road, a number of buildings .for the accommodation of their train hands.
