house in this section that has direct connections with the factories of
NEW YORK, BOSTON,
PHILADELPHIA, CINCINNATI,
CHICAGO, and ST. LOUIS
And new goods in every department received daily at the very lowest prices. It is useless to
say anything to planters concerning either LEVInE or his house, as for the past live years his
name has been a kind of watchword throughout Central and Northwestern Texas ; to Country
Merchants we say this, that if you wish to keep a line selection at a small investment, you are
neglecting your business if you do not call at
A. I. Levine’s Palace,
For you can get goods in size lots to suit you at the same prices that you would have to pay by
the case elsewhere ; all true business men will grant that money in business is made in buy-ing
and not in selling, and by buying your goods of
A. I. LEVINE,
You are dealing with a direct house. Newspapers are naturally adapted to puffing, and. every
advertisement you read you will find oilers to sell cheaper and better goods, etc., eto. Now
ell we have to say is when you are in want of auything in the lines of
STAPLE AND FANCY DRY GOODS,
Clotliing:,
BOOLS, SHOES, H.1TS, CAPS, TRUNKS, VALISES, etc,
EITHER WHOLESALE OR RETAIL, CALL ON

WASHINGTON.
Tke Mode of Purchasing Silver
Bullion—Our Navy Abroad and
at Home—Appointment of
Revenue Officers, etc.
Washington, October 17.—An order has
been issued from the Treasury Department
providing and establishing a mode of purchas-ing
silver bullion hereafter. It has been found
by experience that the London quotations are
not safe guides to go by, as the transactions
in silver bullion there are less than in New
Fork, and the quotations are frequently in-fluenced
by speculative and not by genuine
transactions. The mode requires bids on
Wednesday of each week for delivering at
Philadelphia or San Francisco, as proposed
by the bid, the nrice of lots under ten thou-sand
ounces, which will be fixed by a rule de-pendent
upon the market value ascertained by
bibs.
Commodore Schufeldt will leave this conn-try,
on the Ciconderago, on the 1st of Decern-her.
The object of this commission is to
open new ports of commerce between Africa
and this country. The secretary of the navy
will have a conference with the secretary of
state, and they will agree upon a plan by
which the commerce of this conntry will lie
advanced in ports of the world where the
national flag has uever been seen. In this
connection a successor to Commodoro Scliu-feldt
will be appointed.
Notice has’been given and will be considered
about the wintering of our naval vessels iu
foreign stations, as eight or nine more, besides
those already out, are preparing to be sent
abroad. The navy has now about fifty vessels
iu seaw'ortliy condition.
S. A. Abernathy, Austin Greener and John
M Hannan are appointed revenue guagers for
the 5th district of North Carolina.
News has been received of the death, by fe-ver,
of Lieut. Bonner, commanding the relief
boat John M. Chambers, who died at Vicks-burg
this morning.

Heavy Rain Storm.
Memphis, October 17.—A heavy storm of
wind and rain visited Memphis last night and

A Card.
New York, October 17.—Samuel J. Tilden
publishes a eard in which, referring to the re-cent
cipher telegram publications, says he
has no knowledge of the existence of these
telegrams nor any information about them,
except what has been derived since their pub-lication.
Referring to the alleged attempts
to negotiate for electoral votes in Florida and
South Carelina. he denies* all know ledge of the
existence or purport of any telegram relating
to the subject. He cites as evidence, that any
action on his part looking to a bargain of any
kind would have been inconsistent with his
plans. The fact that he had in view a system
of reform, which he could not have carried
out unless he was untrammeled by any com-mitment
in the choice of men to execute the
official trust of the government and free from
any obligations to special interests, I w as re-solved
to go into the presidential chair in full
command of my resources, or not at all.

AMERICAN COMMERCE.
Large Meeting of Manufacturers
and Merchants in Chicago—
The Texas & Pacific Rail-road
a Necessity.
Chicago, October 17.—A meeting of maim-factures,
merchants and citizens was held at
the Grand Pacific hotel last evening to listen
to an address by Gen. Cyrus Bussey, presi-dent
of the New' Orleans Chamber of Com-merce,
upon the subject of promoting Ameri-can
commerce. Judge Booth, Hon. JohnC.
Dore and Hon. Chas. S. Fasten made some re-marks.
Resolutions were adopted favoring
such a transcontinental cheap rate railway
transportation as will develop our trade with
China, India, Japan and Australia. Such
cheap rates can only be obtained by breaking
down the present railroad monopolies to the
Pacific coast and the completion of the North-ern
and Texas Pacific railroad. The resolu-tions
further recommend the speedy action by
Congress looking to that end, to provide for a
committee of seven to give force to these pur-poses,
and favor the holding of an interna-tional
commercial convention here soon to
consider our North and South American trade,
and favor the extension of steamship lines
with foreign countries by means of subsidies
and mail contracts, and called for a genera*
extension of w'ater traffic by congressional
legislation.
