The Public' comments: Commercial transactions for some week past have shown no settled and sleudv tendency, favorable or unfavorable, ' The export business in large beyond precedent, but it is evident that there is no corresponding expansion in the doiuestm trade. 1 lie tritfllo is less speculative and more heal thy than it was some months ugo. but there is rensou to apprehend that it may Increase httteartcr, in the met thut ex changes are not generally well maintain ed, either In large markets of wholesale trade, or in the manufacturing cities. The best In at can be said of the, commercial situation, is that it pauses mid hesitates. There is no sharp recition, for the decline in prices lias called out considerable buy ing both for consumption mid export; but there is no vigorous and healthy increase in transactions such as was witnessed for the same mouth of last year, and the re turns tend to strengthen tiie position of those who uelleiie that no such increase is to be expected until the prospect as to the coming ciOi hero ami in hurnpu is more clear.

Bradlaugh pre sented himself at the table of the speaker, who ini formed him that in consequence of the resolution ot yesterday he may re tire, liradlaugli wished to 'address the speaker. Theopposition cried "withdraw," and the speaker informed liradlaugli he must withdraw. Luboucher moved that liradlaugli bo heard; agreed to.

Hu argued against being accused of atheism, lio would not forgo his opin ions or claim to a seat. The house might expel him, but until bo had taken his teat it has no jurisdiction. Tho house cannot override the law which permits him to take the oath, if appeal should be neces sary, us he hopes it will not be, it must be made, He asked the house to give him the justice which bulges would give him if appealed to, and liradlaugli w as loudly cheered.

Sir Stull'orii Northco'e moved that the speak er bo authorized to inforce his withdrawal. The house then divided on this motion, liradlaugli meantime standing at the table, and tbo motion was adopted by a vote of 328 to 3S. liradlaugli refused pus itivoly to obey, lie was thereupon re moved beyond tho bur. lie returned twice, declaring that the house had no right to exclude him; it can otilv imprison lii'n.

Every democrauc paper. Tammany aud auu-TamiaAuy Is elated and declares that the ticket will carry all the slates that Tllden dtd, and Penutyivanla, Ohio and possibly Wisconsin aa well. Kpubi leans and republican Journals, conreas their danger and admit that if the election wu beid to morrow, Hancock would wlu easily. They hope, however, thai sober econd thought will show that Garfield has all tbe excellencies tbat Hancock has, civily and m Hilary, and that be Is a tried slattimsn, in addition, while Hancock is merely au uneducated tyro and irut be tne uml ot southern poiiiiciana. Tbe latter Idea finds an exponent in a Baltimore paper thus: "Helsen tliely unacquainted with legislative work, and the methods ol civil administration will be imparted to It by those whom he shall choose for hi adviser and who will really run tbe exec" live branch of the government His conduct will be determined by circumstances and by the opinions of bis adversaries, if elected be will be the figurehead ol his administration, not it mo' lye furce. A a candidate he is stronger than most of the kind would have been but hi is weaker than either Bayard or Hendricks, or perhaps Payne or Jewett, Tbe conservative Journal of Commerce says: While a few persoual friends of poliuciari may grieve over their disappointment the givat body of the people will rejoice at the results ol this con vention. If Ihe campaigu is conducted throughout with tbe wisdom manifested in Its commencement the chance are certainly 8 out of 5. aud we think 6 out of 7 that the ticket last nominal d will be elected. We believe that good meu of all parties will gladly accept this result, and tbat It will cou . tribute in no small degree toward sn era of good feeling and a revival of prosperity in every section of our common country. Your reporter bas, nevertheless, the oalnlon of many Tilden men aud it is tbat Kelly has at last been successful ; that by throwing Tllden over board the great fraud ha been condemned.

Repub licans who have be-u interviewed, concede that this ticket will be hard to ocau They admit the excellent record of the candidates and arc, ap parently depressed with this fact.

The Cburifr-ouniuf says of the democratic nom lutes : vYinfleld ocotl Hancock is the democrailc cand date for tbo presidency of the fulled Slates The south take him aud will give him her undi vided vote. He fought the south, but when the smoke of battle rolled away be as earnestly fought agalust tbe imposition of despouo expedients upon southern communities lu the military divi sion of wbicb be was the lead he understood tbe war to bave been f. uebt to maintain the supremacy of tbe constitution over the southern states, aud wheu the cuntlict ended, be knew logically that these were uuder tbe constitution ai d tbat the iuhsiittilion of the sword for civil government, was but a new phasa cf rebellion against Ihe cou stitution for which the uulou armies fought, 'ihe democracy accepts a military man. They accept him because laey believe he will close the Janus temple of sectional antagonism. Tho uomluatiou ot Uaucock means thedctermiuatiuuof tbe people of the United States to remove Ihe old sectional issues out of American politics. The uomluatiou ot any southern democrat would have opened tbe way tor republican viluperatlou. Tnoy bave notb lug lo say on the nomination of Hancock.

For genuine good taste and a nice apprehension of the requirements of social life, and and well, and stylo, wo will back some of our millionaires produced by the last rise, but one, in Union Con. u"ainst any class of people in the world. For instance, thero is Pat Donovan sometimes alluded to as "Big Patsy" by envious people not yet in society who once kept tho admirably con. ducted grocery at the corner of Do visadero and Shag alley, whose pure brown sugar at ten pounds for a dollar, and superb mess mackeral and however, as Mr. D. is not iu business any more, it is unnecessary to say anything mote on that head. Well, as everybody in real good society knows, Donovan struck it very rich about a year ago, and and since then has built a log house on the ".Nob" somewhere, and his daughter und heir, Nora, has como out as a shining light of the "music ales," so frequently given in fashion, able circles nowadays. Sho had only taken six months lessons. So at these recherche entertainments- sho simply improvised "Songs Without Words," which is tho safest thing to do under the circumstances, and cou'dn't very well bo criticised, al though those who usually applauded did so under tho impression that the efl'ort was a masterly imitation of a piano tuner stringing up a concert grand. Last month Donovan con. cludod that it was about timo to do something peculiarly unique and fashionable, bo he organized a grand camping-out party for the Yoscmite, and started off with a large number of invited guests. Among tho wag ons was ono that excited a good deal of curiosity, as it contained a large., carefully-covered object, the use of which only became apparent after dinner at the first t-iimp. Then, while tho party was discussing .its coffee, tho cover was removed from the wagon referred to, disclosing a Steinway grand piano, and at the same timo Miss Nora Donovan emerged from a tent attired in full, low-necked evening costume, and, ascending a velvct-linod step-ladder, procoeded to thump out ".Nancy Leo'' with great vigor in three flats. Un fortunately, however, tho fashionable triumph this was intended to achieve was interfered by an unlookctl for event. Tho team of bronchos had not boon detachod, and al tho very first note they started off with a jump that landed the piano, right on tho top ot the camp fire, and stood tho sweet singer, low neck and all, on her head in a ditch. Tbo next day tho Donovan picnic disbanded. S. F. Post. An Indian's View of Custer. I have heard some versions of the Cus ter fight from the Sioux chiefs who were in it, and instead of being as the Yankee call it, a "massacre," it was, in my opinion, a fair fight, in which tlie Indians proved themselves brave men. liig Thunder's account g( it is, I think, true. He says the whole band, consisting of about 6,000 men, women aud children, or about 800 warriors, were in camp, not at all suspecting that they were being pursued, and consequently had no scouts out. The warriors were engaged iu a big feast toward evening, when a squaw came in and told them that a large dust was rising on the prairie. They, thought little of it, until they were in formed that horsemen were approaching and close upon them. They seized their arms just as Custer's, 300 men in line broke into the camp. ' The women and children ran to the hills near by, while the warriors fired upon the soldiers from under their tepevs. He says the soldiers were in a fearful state of excitement, M were the horses, and not seeing the foe, many of the men shot each other, seem ing to be frantic and not knowing what they did. He says Custer and a private were the brave men; both, after they had been shot several times, lay on the ground firing their revolvers at every one they could see. The Soux think the private must have been a devil, as they could not kill him until literally hacked to pieces. Very few Sionx were killed ia the battle. Big Thunder says that :f they had expected Custer, they would hare tried to escape hitu, not wishing to risk fight. ' They have a great dishk and distrust of the) Yankees, and do not want to have any more to do with them. When General Terry came to Fort Walsh after the battle to see Sitting Ball and get him to surrender, council held in the officer's quarters here, and Sitting Bull and his chiefs were sent for. They came and shook hsvnds with all our officers, bat would not look at the Ameri cans, and when asked to. speak to them they sent for squaw, the greatest insnlt they can give. I do not think w need fear trouble from the Sioux, a they teem very well disposed toward u-
