There was a marked lessening of
the excitement m the grain specula
tion yesterday, and unless the politi
cal affairs of Europe should take
some sudden-turn it is probable that
the trade will soon return to its
regular channels and accustome
proportions. Western corn for June
delivery sold before 'Change at 66
cents on a scare caused by advices of
a decline at Liverpool, but recovered
ou 'Change to 68 cents, and in the
afternon rose to 68-i cents. Corn for
immediate delivery (usually desig
nated as spot corn) and for May de
livery olosed at 69 cents. The mar
ket New York and Chicago ex
hibited no special features, and both
closed firmer.

New York, May 10.
The Journal of Commerce pre
sents to day its usual monthly table
of the foreign commerce of the city,
which shows that the total receipts
for April Jihow a large increase jn the
figures for the same month last year,
although much less than the average
for previous years as far back as 1873.
The editor adds: "One of the most
favorable features of this return is
the fact that the increase is all in
goods entered directly for consump
tion This gain in capital carries the
total for four months, since January,
about $4,000,000 above the corres
ponding total for last year."

. New York, May 10.
The PosCs Washington special says
that the members of the late whiskey
ring are becoming very desperate in
consequence of the refusal of the go
vernment to accept their offers to
compromise the suits pending against
them. This is shown by the fact that
they are around circulating stories
against the integrity of Secretary
Sherjuan. charging among other
t hings that he is interested in certain
rlistnlleries in Cincinnati.
Having been defeated on all sides,
the members of the ring are now very
reckless and are cursing the adminis
tration for refusing to release them
from further prosecution. The Pres
ident has refused, in a most positive
manner, to interfere with these cases,
except so far as to instruct the law
officers to see that suits are pressed.

The death of John Forsythe and
Parson Brownlow removes from the
scene concurrently Jhe last living il
lustrations of the school of partisan
journalism which flourished in the
South before the war. Of that school
Mr. Prentice was unquestionably the
head; but it embraced a number of
able, if not brilliant, persons, of
whom no two were more conspicuous
than the editors of the Mobile Regis
ter and the Kooxville Whig. Yet, as
we have said, no men were less alike.
The East Tennesseean was bellicose,
frugal, and thrifty. The Alabamian
was a polemic, but he fought his bat
tles in kid gloves, and was equally
polished and lavish. Both had a taste
of public life, the oue in the Senate,
the other in diplomacy, neither add
ing to his usefulness or celebrity.
Each was an extremist. Each bore
an unblemished private character.
Each died comparatively poor the
fate of the Southern journalist of the
last generation. They were marked

E. Sandlfn. of that place, on the 3d inst.
His remains were found about two feet be

neck, and one side of his face and bead
broken in. The coroner held au inquest
and the jury returned a verdict that the de.

The Sandlins and Parker, the former of
whom had been previously much esteemed
in the community, have fled. Parker is

in hand of securing a necessary amount to
take them to New York, the money was

making their way to their homes in Algeria.
The amount raised was $43.75, of which
$23.75 was contributed by citizens, $15 by
the city, and $5 by tbe county, being suffi
cient to allow each of the Arabs some
thing over one dollar to buy provisions for
the voyage. A colored female benevolent
organization contributed $2.50 of tbe
amount, and the police contributed liberal

For tbe Star.
Mr. Editor: The President and Ladies
of the Memorial Association desire to re
turn their cordial thanks to the different
organizations that joined with them in the
services of Memorial Day.
To the admirable Marshal, with his
efficient aids, we are indebted for tbe de
corum and order which prevailed in tbe
procession and among the large crowd as
sembled on tbe grounds as well as for the
completeness which characterized all of his
arrangements.
The choir discoursed sweet music for us,
and with its mournful requiems seemed to
draw us nearer to those whose ashes were
resting around and beneath us.
The orator touched our hearts, as he de
picted in vivid words tbe toils and priva
tions of those days in which the true and
brave men whose deeds we were com
memorating, bore so noble a part, and in
this day of policy and reconstruction it be
comes us Southern matrons to remember
the lesson he so gracefully gave us, by en
deavoring to instil into the minds of suc
ceeding generations that earnest devotion
to principle unswerved by the hope of re
ward or fame, which made noteworthy
the lives and death of the brave Con
federate soldiers.
We also tender our thanks to the Mili
tary and the Band for tbe support and
sympathy which their presence gave us, and
to the Superintendent of the Cemetery for
his well directed aid and for many acts of
kindness and courtesy.
The day is past, the picture is over with,
and we have left only tbe memory of a joy
pleasant and mournful to the soul.
Wilmington, N. C, May 11, 1877.
