THE WEEK. 
Uniform Commercial Exchange*. 
Great efforts are now being made to secure 
uniformity in the methods by which commercial 
exchanges are effected in different nations. A 
uniform system of weights and measures is also 
important, and this seems in a fair way of ac¬ 
complishment. The French cental or decimal 
system of grammes and meters, which commends 
itself to the common sense aud convenience Of the 
mercantile public, will soon be adopted. The 
Boards of Trade in this country did not general¬ 
ly adopt the system on the first of March, as was 
agreed npon, bnt the plan is by no means given 
up. The approaching national Commercial Con¬ 
vention to be held at Cleveland it is thought 
will act decisively in the matter. 
The good sense of the commercial world de¬ 
mands that we get rid of the endless and irrec¬ 
oncilable variety of money systems—that there 
be a common unit in all international commercial 
exchanges. We have occasionally explained the 
commercial signification of existing quotations, 
&c., but as a general thing they are very little 
understood, and the quotation* of prices abroad 
ore Greek to the roader who has not made the 
subject a study. The Paris Exposition has 
brought the subject of uniformity of coinage, or 
of having ajraifomi unit of value, prominently 
before.thc public. A Board ol Commissioners, 
composed chiefly of leading European financiers, 
is now in session in Paris for the purpose of 
solving this important question, lion. 8. B. 
Kuogi.es, n Commissioner from this country is 
a member of the Board. At last accounts the 
Commissioners were endeavoring to fix upon a 
unit of value, and seem to be divided between 
the French live-franc piece and the American 
dollar. A majority of the Board it is said favor 
the Uve-fnmc piece, but the weight of outside 
opinion is decidedly in favor of the American 
dollar. We can see many reasons why the dollar 
shonld be adopted us the unit, and we trust such 
will he the final recommendation of the body 
who have the matter under consideration. 
language was used, and Bradley, senior, informed 
the judge that if he (Fisher) were not ill, he 
would thrash him. The judge replied that he 
r did not claim immunity from the threatened 
castigation. Deputy Marshal Phillips Interfered 
and prevented blows, and attempted to force 
. the Judge into the Marshal’s room, when young 
Bradley made his appearance. The Judge turned 
and grappled with him. The parties were sepa¬ 
rated, and Judge Fisher was locked in the Mar¬ 
shal’s room. Judge Fisher eventually went to 
his home in Georgetown. The affair created 
much excitement. 
Agricultural College Land Scrip official returns 
show that Kansas has located 333,637acres ; Min¬ 
nesota, 407,844 acres; Wisconsin, 593,906 acres; 
Nebraska, 277,866 acres. No State can locate 
over 1,000,000 acres. 
The usual Treasury Statement for the month 
will not be made, as the fiscal year closed June 
30th, and no statement will be made until the 
first of Angust. The decrease in yearly receipts 
is some $40,000,000. 
The President has sent Congress all his eor- 
respundence with the Generals on Reconstruc¬ 
tion. The House Committee agreed on a Re¬ 
construction Bill, which they hoped to report 
on the 8th inst. A majority of the Judiciary 
Committee are said to be in favor of impeach¬ 
ment, Woodbridgc of Vermont, having changed, 
and propose to report and ask action at an Octo¬ 
ber session. The majority of Congress hope to 
adjourn by July 15th. The Secretary of the 
Treasury does not intend to make any sugges¬ 
tions on finance. 
From tlie West, 
A dispatch at St. Louis from Omaha, states 
that much alarm exists from Fort Yankton to 
Fort Randall. Some 200 Indians are coming 
down the Missouri River. Gen. Sherman left, 
for Fort Ilnntcr the 4th. He orders to follow 
up and clear out the Indians. Seven hundred 
peaceful Indians are in crimp on the North 
Platte under the care of Government, but pros¬ 
pects for any peace with the majority seem faint. , 
Indian depredations in Idaho still continue. On 
.Inly 1st a regiment of cavalry and mounted in¬ 
fantry started for the mountains. 
Tlie steamer Montana left San Francisco for J 
Panama the 29th ulk, with $1,158,396 in specie 
for New York. Since January 1st, $20,805,000

The Michigan Agricultural College has had < 
land grants of 360,287 acres, and money from j 
the State, $183,000, The graduates number j 
eighteen, and students ninety-two — all that can ( 
be accepted with the present buildings. 
The steamer Colorado sailed from San Fran- 
cisco for Yokabomo and Hong Kong the 6th 
inst. with $860,000 and 505 passengers, includ- 
ing the Japanese Commissioners and suite. c 
Tlie 4th was celebrated in San Francisco with 
much enthusiasm. 
Heroism in Common Life. —A few days since, 
as a train of cars was approaching St. Hyacinthe, 
Canada, the engineer, Joseph Gairepy, saw a 
i child about four years of age walking on the 
l track. He endeavored to stop his train, but, 
: being unable to do so, rushed out on the cow¬ 
catcher and seized the child as the engine was 
about to strike it. The little one was uninjured, 
but badly seared. 
Detroit vs. Chicago.—A Detroit Post cor¬ 
respondent thinks a railroad shonld be built to 
Grand Traverse Bay, crossing Michigan from 
Southeast to northwest,— from Saginaw, which 
is now linked to Detroit by mil,— and thus open¬ 
ing a rich country, drawing a great trade from 
Chicago to Detroit with the advantage of con¬ 
stant travel, while Chicago is cut off by ice a 
third of the year. • 
The Dominion op Canada.— The territory 
included in the new Kingdom of Canada haB an 
area of about 400,000 square miles. The popula¬ 
tion is computed as follows: — Upper Canada, 
1,393,923; Lower Canada, 1,220,514; New Bruns¬ 
wick, 252,049; Nova Scotia, 350,857; Newfound¬ 
land, 111,638; Prince Edward Island, 80,857. 
Total, 3,329,838. 
The Indians. — The Peace Commissioner 
thinks he can make peace with the Crow Indi¬ 
ans, but the Cheyennes must be Whipped before 
he can treat with them. On the 24th and 26th 
nit. the Sioux and Cheyenne* attacked portions 
of Gen. Custer’s command a few miles from Fort 
Sedgwick. The Indians were repulsed.

STUMP MACHINE TRIALS. 
Mr. Willis has recently made two trials of his 
Stump Machine* on the Ashley farm in the town of 
Greece with results entirely satisfactory to those 
who witnessed the operations. At a trial on the 6 th 
instant, he extracted eight stumps of various sizes in 
24 minutes. He is manufacturing the machines in 
this city, and can supply all such as may wish to pur¬ 
chase. He would he glad to have hie machine exam¬

Congress met the 3d, with 34 Senators and 
120 Representatives present. 
After passing a resolution, in the House, for a 
Committee of nine to see what should be done 
on Reconstruction, both Houses adjourned until 
the 5th. 
Speaker Colfax says no new Standing Com¬ 
mittees will be chosen in Congress. A short 
session, only acting on Reconstruction, seems 
probable. Some are for putting the South under 
martial law, and the Louisiana Bill (Sheila- 
burghers) of lust session has its friends. 
Senator Wilson is expected to offer a bill, 
wliieh will vacate all civil offices South, and 
empower commanding officers to appoint or 
order elections. 
A Times’ special says the majority of the 
Impeachment Committee may not he ready to 
report, but the minority will report for imme¬ 
diate action, unless there be an adjournment to 
October. 
On the 1st inst., in the Surratt trial, Dr. Me 
MlUan, surgeon of the ship Peruvian, on which 
Surratt fled from Quebec to Liverpool, was called. 
The prisoner was visibly affected as the Doctor 
promptly identified him (Surratt) as the person 
to whom he was presented in a gtftte-rooin on 
the steamer between Montreal and Quebec, aud 
who was his fellow passenger during the trip. 
He then began to narrate in a clear, connected 
and candid manner, the various conversations 
the prisoner had with him. An account of one 
of Surratt’s trips to Richmond was being related, 
when the couusel for the prisoner pretended to 
misunderstand a portion of the narrative, and 
sought to confuse the witness by repeating his 
statements in an entirely different form. This 
the witness corrected several times, when at last 
he resented it as an insult, aud in an impulsive 
and very forcible manner accused the prisoner’s 
counsel of insulting the Government witnesses, 
andgwanuly denounced such conduct as only 
worthy of cowards aud sneaks. This, of course, 
took the. couusel by surprise, and produced a 
decided sensation in tlie Court-room. The de¬ 
fence immediately appealed to the Court, who 
rebuked'thc witness for his language, and at the 
same time rebuked the counsel for badgering 
the witnesses. Dr. McMillan politely apologized 
to the Court, and then remarked that the coun¬ 
sel for the defence had insulted the witnesses 
for the prosecution by saying that they ought 
to tie in the Penitentiary, and lie believed himself 
as much a gentleman as either of them. The 
testimony was intensely interesting aud very 
damaging to the prisoner. 
A personal difficulty occurred between the 
two Bradleys, counsel for Surratt, aud Judge 
Fisher, after adjournment of the Court on Tues¬ 
day, in retiirence to a ruling of the judge. Harsh 
Important Enterprise, 
A company from Pennsylvania and else¬ 
where (some of this city) have bought the 
Marmora Iron Mines in Cauada, forty miles 
from Lake Ontario. Their purchase covers 23,- 
000 acres, and also the Cobourg and Peterboro’ 
Railway, of which they have partly changed 
the route. The mine is on the hank of Crow 
Lake, and is simply a ledge fifty feet, high, 
facing the water, tie ore yielding sixty to 
seventy per cent, of fine iron. 
An excursion party of our citizens and others 
visited the spot and were highly gratified. A 
furnace is talked of at Charlotte, on the lake 
shore, a few miles north of this city. 
Latest from Europe. 
The Austrian Court at Vienna went into 
mourning for the Emperor Maximilian. 
At London a grand exhibition to take place in 
Hyde Park the 4th inst., was postponed by the 
Government on account of Maximilian’s death. 
Great indignation against the Mexican Govern¬ 
ment Is felt in England and on the continent In 
the British Honse of Commons Mr. Home an¬ 
nounced that the riots at Birmingham were over; 
that he could not wonder the language of the 
anti-papist Murphy created trouble, and that the 
Catholic clergy, during and since the riot, had 
done well in wise and conciliatory measures. 
The right to vote by ballot, in a section of the 
Reform Bill, was rejected by 277 to 214. 
Re-inforcements and arms from Greece have 
reached the Cretans. Omar Pasha was prepar¬

Losses by Fire. —During May the aggregate 
losses in the United States, caused by fire, each 
involving a loss of at least $20,000, were $2,120,- 
(XX). The aggregate losses during the year have 
been $16,528,000. From 1859 to 1864 inclusive, 
the average losses by fire in the United States 
were ahont $18,000,000 per annum, while in 1865 
they rose to $43,000,000, audio. 1866 to $100,000,-

was paid during the last year for Incendiary fires. 
Former Annexations.— The recent purchase 
of Russian America is the sixth acquisition of

The market for railroad stocks Is quite active, at an

combination of the leading railroads between New York 
and Chicago, to form a great Western rente. Among 
other roads that have entered Into the arrangement are 
the Hudson River and Harlem, the New York Central, 
Lake Shore Line, Cleveland and Toledo, and Michigan 
Southern. It is said that Mr. Keep is to resign the Pres¬

FRAUD AND HUMBUG EXPOSED. 
There has been, and la now, snch an amount of 
misrepresentation In reference to the trial of Mowing 
and Reaping Machines at Anbnm, N. Y.. last July by 
a committee of the N. Y. S. Ag. Society, accompanied 
with snch gross libels upon ns and onr machines, that 
“Forbearance has ceased to be a virtue” iudiM-d. 
Some unscrupulous mnnufttctnrere and their agents 
for their own selfish and greedy purposes have pub¬ 
lished in newspapers, pamphlets and circulars, what 
purports to he the Report, or extracts from the Re¬ 
port of the Committee. These publications are false 
and garbled and “ made v.p'' to suit eastern machines 
and cast odium upon others. They all claim having 
received ths first premium or medal, leaving it ft he 
inferred that there was but oneJfirSt premium; where¬ 
as. In truth tliere were Eleven Premiums and Medals, 
awarded to a* many dlfl'erent styles and maker 1 of 
mowing machines, und would have been more If fair 
play and honor had been observed. These garbled 
and false publications make certain machines stand 
higher than others by taking the highest credit marks 
of thdr machines and the lowest ones of ours. Now 
by this rule we find in tho Committee’s Published 
Repost, that Dodge’s Patent Mower and Reaper, 
Ohio aud Buckeye Patents combined, made by Dodge, 
Stevenson & Co., was the Lightest Draft Mower

Onr machine was awarded the preference in CIrsb 5 
as a Mower , Hand or Self-Raker , as preferred , In the 
same machine, and the above clearly shows that it 
was entitled to it. Hiram Ctrtis of Albion, N. Y., 
who manufactures a machine he calls the Buckeye, 
did not have any machines at the trial, and for his 
gross libels upon us and onr machines we have ap¬ 
pealed to the courts for redress. 
We have uo objection to fair oompetitlon, be it over 
so spirited, but when downright lying and maliclons 
fa!whoods are resorted to we shall defend ourselves 
in a proper manner against any and all inch. 
The immense popularity and sale of our machines 
has caused alarm amongst the old concerns, relying on 
reputations earned years ago; hence the fluttering, 
which is good evidence that somebody is hurt.

DODGE’S PATENT REAPER AND MOWER 
CAUTION! 
The public are cautioned against confounding this 
Valuable Machine with the ‘ Buckeye" made toy 
Adriance, Platt & Co., and others, under Aultman 
and Miller’s Patents. The Genuine und only Dodge 
Machine is mauufactured under J. A. Dodge, Ball’s 
and Aultman and Miller’s Patents, and is a Great 
Improvement on both the Bail’s Ohio, and Buckeye 
Machines, 
It is manufactured solely by the Dodge & Stevenson 
M'f’g Co., at Auburn, N. Y., and Jmth the Patentees 
and manufacturers’ names are p!?Rily stencilled on 
every machine. Farmers! do not be humbugged toy 
the specious aud artful representations of parlies that 
THLTR-j is the only reliable aud genuine machine, &c., 
&c„ Ac., and that certain other machines tire mongrel 
or worthless imitations, Common sense teaches that 
this is an age of improvement j that the world moves 
on, and that the attempt ol certain parties to keep 
their machines at the head of the list, toy relying on 
reputations earned years ago must prove futile even 
where they are bolstered up by well known and here¬ 
tofore honored names, and by certificates procured in 
too many instances by fraud and bribery. 
Farmers, examine carefully for yourselves , and yon 
will find that improvements cun be made upon Mow¬ 
ing und Reaping Machines: that the Dodge Machine 
is all that is claimed for it; being a Handsomer, 
Better Made, and more reliable Mower, hand or 
Self-Raking Reaper, than can be found in the market.
