" I will, as 1. said to you yesterday, call up the bill at the first opportunity—as soon as the hill now Ijefore the House is disposed of," remarked Judge Kelloy this morning. "I don't propose to lie guided by the operations of tho Republican Steering Committee. It is monstrous, it is revolutionary, that a committee appointed by a party caucus shall say to the representatives of tho poople what measures they may or they may not consider. There was no act of the French Revolution more subversive of the rights of a constitutional government than the powers assumed by this Steering Committee. I have given notice everywhere of what 1 intond to do, and as the Internal Revenue measure is a privileged report I will have no trotiblo in raising a question of consideration with it against any other bill." i'.liuira excursion to-morrow MontkRal, June 14.—A terrible liro broke out this morning alwut one o'clock in Clondinning's block Victoria Square.

I iiave just received an Evening Telegraph of June I, noticing my letter to the Press, in which I said: " I detest Bossism, but I fear that the extirpation of the cancer by the knife might kill tho patient." You have shown both your fear and your appreciation of the illustration, by a whole column to refute tho power of two-and-a-half lines. You make a great mistake when you suppose your ridicule ' of my timidity will break its force with the thinking people of this State. There is a point in it which your alarm fears they may see. They have not forgotten, though, it suits you to do so, my open letter in the face of the election of 1878, in which I assailed these bosses and the many opinions in which I have combatted wrongs and infractions of right and justice to which others have plainly submitted. I have no fear of the poople, and am willing to accept tho eliargo of timidity, when the destruction of Pennsylvania interests states me in the face. You would destroy me because you do not like some friends of tho patient, and call it heroism. Let us see what my fears are, and then use the knife or not, as your better judgment dictates.

In the language of my lotter to Mr. Mapes, " This is inevitable, for the Democracy, who are.wise as serpent#, will take advantage of division." Democratic success gives that party a four years lease of power in the State. This includes the Presidential election of 1884. Now, who taught you that the defeat of tessism by a deepseated schism in the |Darty is not a fatal disruption, or that the death of Republicanism in 1882 will be followed by a happy resurrection in 1883? You are not the first one whose "foresight is not equal to his hindsight."

Dr. Henry Roberts, of Providence, is expected home-next week. He has been on an extended tour through Virginia and Illinois. By way of premises it is as well as to assume that this is one of those occasions when intrinsic conditions have no influence. The market to-day has been a bear panic from beginning to end, and is another one of those brilliant moves against the short interest of which we have witnessed several during the past six months. This one, however, has the superior advantage of element of uncertainty that lias heretofore not existed. Ninety days ago the bears could count confidentially upon bad traffic for railway until the harvest of the new crops, and it was tolerably safe to assume that there would be no outside buying in view of the diminished earnings. To-day, however, with an undoubted increase of winter wheat which is getting more and more assred, and the the prospect of comparison with different months of last year. The immediate outlook is not so discouraging and a powerful demonstration on the bull side soon pushed the bear to his cover with considerable alacrity. It is stated that parties connected with the bull movement in Lake Shore that the short interest in it is still large and that the price will be advanced still further, we give this for what it is worth and we are perfectly free to admit that il is within the power of the Vanderbilt family to make the price anything they choose provided they are 'the parties behind the stock as is generally believed. The rise to day has elicited very little of stock and we should not be surprised to see the market for it higher, but we cannot say, in view cf the enormous power at work, how far the advance will be carried. There were some signs of realisation in the balance of the market, but not enough to check the advance caused by frightened bears or to give any reason to believe that the advance will not be'ooniinued tomorrow. The lending rates of slocks are decidedly easier, showing a diminished short interest. Hates for money are un- New York June 14 1 p. m. LATE NEWS.

The St. Clair people wanted a woolen mill, and at once proceeded to negotiate with the proper persons to provide it. As a preliminary stop the Town Council offered to exonerate the property from terough tax, not for a period, but forever, and to subscribe $2,000 of the people's money toward the expenses of the concern. As it is expected that the mill when completed will give employment to several hundred persons it may turn out that the game is worth the candle, though that proposition raises a chips lion in economy that is debatable. Meautimo it may be understood mat if St. Clair is willing to deal thus literally with all sorts of manufacturing enterprises the probabilities of becoming a manufacturing centre will improve more rapidly than the sources of revenue will multiply.
