Itlouroe and Norfolk.
Washington, June 4.—lnquiry concein
ing the rumored appointment of a successor
for First Assistant Postmaster General Ty
ner results in the ascertainment from the
highest official source that no change has
yet been ordered. It is true, however, as
heretofore stated, that Gen. Tyner’s resig
nation has been at the disposal of the Presi
dent for some time, and that, in fact, it was
tendered by Tyner in accordance with the
usual custom, almost immediately after the
present administration came into power.
Tne resignation has not yet been accepted.
It is rumored, however, that it will be ac
cepted at an early d*y, and that ex Senator
Bpencer will probably be appointed to fill
the vacancy, if one be thus created.
The representatives of the Attorney Gen
eral and of the Postmaster Genera', now
and heretofore in charge of the star coutract
investigation, emphatically discredit ihe
published rumors that Secretary Blaine has
been implicated in the matter referred to,
and that in the interests of himself or of
implicated friends he has endeavored to
stop or impede the investigation. The
committee of investigation and their supe
rior officers unite in denouncing all such
reports as utterly groundless, and say that,
on the contrary, Blaine has from the very
first encouraged the investigation most
heartily, and has constantly taken the
ground that it should be prosecuted to the
utmost.

SAVANNAH, MONDAY, JUNE 6, 1881.
ERIN S THICKENING PALL
THE OUTLOOK DAILY GROWING
DARKER.
The Tliue* Denouncing the League
Leaders —A Prominent Agitator
Seized—Disturbance* In Cork—A
Demonstration In Hyde Park
's he Government Arraigued— *r
rests Increasing—The Flying Col
umn* to be Strengtbened.
London, June 4—The limes this
morning editorially arraigns the
leaders of the Lind League and
their abettors, including Archbishop
Croke and Parnell, as having conspired to
defy the law. The article severely cen
sures the Archbishop for his recent course
in inciting the peasantry to insubordination,
and points out that it is not alone the land
lords who suffer from the terrorism,but hun
dreds of thousands who are dependent on
them.
Mr. O’Mahoney, a prominent member of
Bally DeKab Land League, has been arrest
ed under the coercion act. In spite of a
large force of armed constabulary, the peo
ple twice succeeded in rescuing O’Mahoney,
when finally he was captured. A portion of
the mob has started to endeavor to intercept
his escort at Bkibbereen, couuty Cork.
The Times, in a leading article, sajs: “We
have only to consider the condition of Ire
land and the temper of the Irish peasantry
on one hand, and such speeches as those of
Archbishop Croke at Holy Cross and Par
nell’s yesterday on the other, to satisfy
ourselves of complicity of the Land League,
its leaders and abettors with what is now
nothing more nor less than a conspiracy to
defy the law. The cry of League is no longer
a protest against arbitrary evictions. It is a
new immoral doctrine that a tenant may
refuse to pay what he considers unjust rent,
even though he is perfectly able to pay.
Thus Is the agitation now revealed in all of
its nakedness,of which Archbishop Croke, an
appointed minister of religion, professing
peace and charity to all men, says
it is not revolutionary, not an
irreligious movement —a movement calcu
lated to injure anybody. It Is difficult to
read such words with common patience. It
Is not landlords alone who suffer under this
cruel, lawless terrorism ; but hundreds and
thousands who are dependent on them, such
as mortgages of rent, charges, holdings of
jointures, etc., all of whom are absolutely
guiltless. No word of sympathy for
these helpless victims has escaped the
sacred lips of a minister of the Gospel, yet
Parnell can coolly exhort the government
to follow Archbishop Croke’s advice. The
audacity of Parnell in repeating Archbish
op Croke’s advice in the House of Com
mons, is simply astounding. ‘Let us see,’
said Archbishop Croke, ‘whether there will
be that willingness on the part of the peo
ple to submit quietly to the terms of land
lords or not.’ In other words the
government is exhorted to leave
the landlords to the mercy of the peasantry,
inflamed by tbe reckless agitation, In order
to prove what is perfectly clear already,
that they would get no mercy at all, to say
nothing of justice. Force may be no
remedy, but when law is openly defied, and
defiance justified as a movement calculated
to Injury nobody, it Is necessary before all
to vindicate the authority of law.”
A serious riot occurred at Cork last eve
ning. The houses in two streets were com
pletely wrecked. Jas. Minnex and his son,
the latter Secretary of the Mehelstown
Branch of the Land League, have been ar
rested under the coercion act, charged with
Inciting to riot. A large party of military
went to Mitchelstewn to day to aid evic
tions. Five persons have been arrested
near Killarney for attacking a house and
cutting off the tenant’6 ear.
The following message has been tele
graphed to President Garfield bv Mr. Boy
ton, from Kilmalnbam prison: “I hope the
Americau Government will never submit
me, or the honor of the republic I fought
to maintaiu, to the degradation of an appeal
to the benevolence of the cowardly British
Government, incapable of extending to my
countrymen tbe commonest justice.”
A mass meeting in Hyde Park, to protest
against the government’s policy with regard
to Ireland, was held to day. Although
there was a steady drizzle of rain during the
day, a large number of Irish men and wo
men were present, but the attendance of the
general public was limited. A procession of
branches of the Home Rule organization
with bands and bauners marched from Tra
falgar Square to the Park, where there was
speaking from three platforms. The fol
lowing resolutions were carried unanimous
ly at each platform :
“That the government is criaalnallyrespon
slble for the deplorable condttlon of Ire
land.
“That the meeting summon the govern
ment immediately to suspend evictions and
liberate persons arrested on suspicion.
“That Mr. Forster resign the office for
which he has proved his utter Incapacity.”
Mr. Parnell appeared and was enthusias
tically received. He made a speech, in
which he attacked the government for eu
couraging unjust, evictions. He read a letter
from a priest, of New Pa!!a% stating that
Colonel Hare, on whose property the recent
riotous t victions occurred, has during the
last twenty five years evicted nearly four
hundred and fifty persons. Mr. Parnell said
serious responsibility will rest on the gov
ernment if the evictions continue. Irish
men are now becoming aware of the power
of combination and passive resistance.
Messrs. T. P. O’Connor and Frank O’Don
nell, members of Parliament, also addressed
the meeting.
Chief Secretary Forster will remain in
Ireland u util after the Whitsuntide holi
days.
At Loughrea, Galway county, on Saturday,

Stock* In Loudon.
London, June 4. —The Economist, of this
week, says: “Toe rate of discount for bank
bills, sixty days to three months. Is \% per
cent., aud for trade bffls, slx'y days to three
months, 2a2X per cent. In the stock
markets after a month of remarkable activi
ty the past week has been comparatively
quiet. Prices have 6llghtly relapsed,though
not comparatively with the previous ad
vance. The grave couditlon of Ireland,
perhaps, slightly accounted for the relapse
in consols. The Irish markets are depress
ed. The new list of securities offered in
cludes a colonial loan for railway issues
and eight raining companies. Egyptian
bonds were somewhat affected by
the reported arrangement between
tbe Sultan and the Khedive, although the
Anglo-French protectorate will prevent any
rupture detrimental to Ezyptlan finance.
The prospect of a resumption of specie
payments improves ihe position of Italian
exchange and rentes. Mexicans are lower
owing to the;adjournment of Congress with
out action in regard to the debt. Notwith
standing the influential committee ap
pointed by the meeting of Confederate
bondholders, there is not the remotest
chance of returns upon their so called
claims. American railways are much less
animated, but the list is mostly higher.
Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio, however,
declined five points.”

A Remarkable Funeral f eene
Pittsburg special: A sensation was
caused at the funeral services of Robert
J. Smith, a well known and wealthy
jeweler of this city, which were held at
Trinity Church, South Side, to-day. The
church was filled with a fashionable au
dience, comprising some of our best peo
ple. Among the numerous carriages
which drove up to the house of the dead
was one containing his wife. She had
forfeited all claim to being called bis
wife by reason of her unfaithfulness.
About six months ago he was divorced
from her, as they had separated several
months before. Since that time Mrs.
Smith has been one of the queens of
the demimonde of the city.
She lives in an aristocratic house
on Caldwell street. Accompanied by an
other frail sister, Lizzie Smith took a
seat near the colli a of her former hus
band. She was dressed in deep black,
and wore a heavy veil. During the
funeral services she burst out crying,
“Oh, my husband.’’ When the cere
monies closed the lid was removed from
the glass of the casket, and the minister
invited those present to look for the last
time on the face of the dead. Lizzie,
who, during all this time, was seemingly
more affected than any one in the church,
moved frantic illy toward the coffin, aad
was within a few feet of it, when Mr.
Smith, a brother of the deceased, threw
his arms over the glass and prevented
her from looking in, remarking:
“Go back. Keep away. Y r ou cannot
tee him.”
Rev. McCready motioned her to leave,
and said:
“Go away. You have no right to
see him, end you shall not see him.”
The woman made a desperate effort to
get to the coffin, screaming:
“Oh, my God. I must see my hus
band. Stand aside, I will see him in
spite of you. I will see him.”
Mrs. Smith, the mother of deceased,
ordered her to leave, aud Miss Smith,
her daughter, shouted:
“Stay away 1 You ruined my brother,
and you cannot look at him.”
While the wildest commotion prevail
ed in the church, the lid was fastened
to its place, and the frantic woman
crowded and shoved toward the pulpit.
Her carriage followed at the end of the
cortege, and at the grave in the cemete
ry she made the most touching appeals to
those who superintended the rites to al
low her just one glance at the face of
the man she bad learned to love, but to
whom, it was claimed, she had also been
the occasion of so much domestic infe
licity. The saddest chapter of the mourn
ful narrative remains yet to be
related. The impressive ceremonies had
been rendered at the grave, the coffin hat]
been lowered into the earth, the minister
had said “Dust to dust, and ashes to
ashes,” while a spadeful of clods had
been dropped on the lid of the coffin,
the friends in their carriages had de
serted the place, and the grave-diggers
had begun to fill in the earth, when
Lizzie, the recreant wife, ran and looked
in. The tears streamed down on the
rough box. while she pleaded most earn
estly to those about to allow her to see
the dead man. This privilege was once
more refused, and as the carriage which
carried her there was being driven out of
the cemetery her cries were most heart
rending.
The “Good Old Times” We Read
About. —In noting the difference in the
style in which Senators and Representa
tives now live in Washington as com
pared with that usual thirty years ago,
an old resident tells an anecdote of in
terest. He says that at that time it was
not uncommon for very’ worthy mem
bers of either House of Congress to oc
cupy rooms over stores. Avery swell
gentleman was elected to Congress,
whom we will call Baker, and he set up
a grand establishment here. He was
greatly shocked to find that bis intimate
friend Cooper, although a very rich
man, lived over a grocery store, and one
day in addressing a note*to him wrote:
“Hon. Mr. Cooper, over Smith's grocery
store.” But Cooper was not to be put
down thus, so remembering the situa
tion of Baker’s grand house, when he
answered, addressed his letter: “Hon.
George Augustus Baker, opposite Foy’s
livery stable."

Corn.— The area planted in corn in the whole
State, compared to that of 1880, H 102. In the
different sections of the State is as follows: In
North*Georgia, 100; Middle Georgia, 100; South
west Georgia, 102; East Georgia, 105; and in
Southeast Georgia. 103. Owing to the peculiar
season the preparation of tbe soil was much
less thorough than in 1880, especially in North
and Middle Georgia.
For the same reason the crop was planted
twelve davs later than in 1880. The stand, com
pared with a “good stand,” is only 83. The
best stand is reported in Southwest Georgia,
where it is 91, and the poorest in East Georgia,
where it is reported at 69. The principal cause
of the reduction in the stand has been the
heavy baking rains of the early spring, while
in some sections complaint is made of injury
by birds and worms.
Oafs.—From comparative insignificance, this
has become one of the most important crops
of the State, and is now largely relied upon for
feeding work stock.
The excessive rains of last October and No
vember prevented the usual area from being
sown in the fall, but the area has been supple
mented by spring sowings, so that the acreage
for the State is reported at 91. Of the entire
area 44 per cent, was sown in the fall. Of this
25 per cent, was winter killed. Eighty-two per
cent, of the crop has been sown with rust
proof varieties, which alone are reliable ex
cept in extremely favorable seasons.
The condition of fall sown compared to an
average is reported at 89. condition of spring
sown 94, and the condition of the whole crop
80. Much of the oat crop was sown quite late
in tbe spring, and hence it i-s difficult to make
a proper estimate of its prospect.
Wheat —The wheat crop of the State is
quite promising, but the aerea.e compared to
that of last year, which was itself small, is re
ported at 60; so that a full crop cannot be
realized even with the most favorable seasons.
Much of the crop was sown very late, and will
of course be more liable to rust,; but no casu
alties have affected the crop, while at the
same time last year it was reported injured by
rust 31 per cent., and by insects 14 per cent.
The condition and prospects of the crop com
pared to an average, is reported 103 this year,
and the seasons since the Ist of May have been
peculia-ly favorable for wheat.
Cotton.—Tbe cotton crop of the State has
been planted 11 days later than last year, ac
cording to the reports of the correspondents of
this department, and 3 per cent, more planted
than last year. As an offset, however, to the
late planting, 11 per eent. more fertilizers
have been applied to the cotton crop of the
State than was applied to the same last year.
As the transition from winter to summer has
been unusually sudden, skipping over spring
as it were, and the use of fertilizers having the
effect of hastening the maturity of the crop, it
will probably be equa ly as early as that of
last year. Of the whole area planted in cotton.
82 per cent, is manured with either commercial
fertilizers, borne manure, or compost, of which
24 per cent, is manured with home manure or
compost—only one-fourth with home manure
and compost, aud three-fourths with purchas
ed manures. This ratio should be reversed if
the proper attention were given to the saving
of home manures.
A gentleman in Southwest Georgia, who
plants about 3,0(0 acres in cotton, finds it
practicable and profitable to manure his
whole crop with compost or lot manure and
cotton seed. Why may trot others do the
same? The planters and farmers of Georgia
have spent, this year, about $6,000,0r0 for fer
tilizers, at least one half of which might have
teen kept at home by judicious management.
No doubt the judicious use of commercial
fertilizers to supplement the home manures is
profitable, but their extravagant and indis
criminate u.-e, as at present practiced, is ill
advised and must prove disastrous to the cot
ton planter.
Fifty three per cent, of the crop is reported
up. and where up, the stand is reporte i nearly
perfect, or 99, while the condition of the plants,
compared to an average, is reported at 101.
The ratio of the area planted in cotton to the
v hole area planted in graiu crops is as 72 to
10:)—the same that it bore last year. When
the fact that in a large number of counties, lit
tle or no cotton is planted, this ratio is remark
ably high.
Sugar Cane —The area in sugar cane, com
pared to last year, is 94, and the stan 1 90. Last
yesr the area was 100 and the stand 103.
Rice— The area in lowland rice compared to
last year is 97. and that of upland rice 105.
The principal increase in the area devoted to
upland rice is iu North and Middle Georgia.
In North Georgia it is reported 112, and in llid
d e Georgia 12 >.
Sorghum.— The area in sorghum compared
to that of last year is to. The principal variety
planted in the 6tato is red top.
Clover and Grass —ln view of the fact that
many farmers in every section of the State
are purchasing hay at ruinous prices, the ques
tion of a home supply rf forage is one of great
importance. That clover and the grasses grow
well on all* the clay and sandy loam lands of
Middle Georgia, and on almost every descrip
tion of soil in North Georgia, has been suffi
ciently demonstrated.
A small increase in the area devoted to them
is reported—the average for the State is 105.
The success attained by thoss who have town
clover and orchard grass, under reasonably
favorable circumstances, has left no room for
further doubts as to the adaptation of the soil
and climate of Middle and North Georgia to
these plants.
There are others, which may te cultivated in
the other portions of the State, which will
afford an abundant supply of forage.
After the experience of this year in the pur
chase of hay at *2 per 100 pounds, the farmers
will need no other argument to convince them
of the necessity of producing a supply of for
age on their farms.
Fruit.— NotwitHStanding the severe winter
and late spring, there is a prospect for a fair
crop of peaches and pears, nearly a full crop
of ap les and a good crop of grapes. In
the whole State peaches are reported at
38, apples at 74, pears 54 and grapes 88
The area planted in orchards was less during
the last season thin during 1879 80, owing to
the unfavorableness of the weather from Octo
ber, ’BO, to March, ’Bl. The area planted in or
chards and vineyards in 1880-81, compared with
1879-80. is reported at 84.
Stock. —The condiiion of sheep, compared to
an average, is 96, and the "drop of iambs to
ewes kept” is 75. This is a good average for
any season, and especiaiiy so in one so unfavor
able as the last.
The condi ion of work ttock, compared to an
average this season, isß3, and the stock of hogs
of all sizes, compared to last year, is also 83.
No disea c es of consequence are reported—
some cholera among hogs, and staggers among
horses and mules. 9 per emit, are said to have
died of disease, and 9 percent from the effects
of the severe winter.
Labor, Supplies, etc.—The supply of labor
compared to last year is reported at 92. and
wages 11 percent, higher than last year. 27 per
cent, of the farm labor of the State is hired for
wages, 38 per cent, on shares, the laborer re
ceiving in lieu of wages a sti{ ulated portion of
the crop: and 32 per cent rent land, paying tbe
rent generally in cotton, but often in stipu ated
portions of various crops cultivated.
The average aunual wages paid full hands,
with ooard. is *ll7. An average of 46percent,
of the crop is given the laborer on the share
system.
The terms on which lands are rented vary
with the circumstances of the renter and the
extent to which the land owner must assist
him besides furnishing the land. If the land
owner furnishes only the land he receives for
its use one third of all that is made from it or
a stipulated number of pounds of lint cotton in
lieu of the third of other crops. If he furnish
es not only the land but all or a portion of the
stock, implements, etc ,he receives a larger
part of the crop than one third in proportion
to his additional expense.
Prices of Corn. Bacon, etc. —Corn sells at the
average price of 8 * cents per bushel cash, and
*1 12 “on time.” This is simply ruinous
policy—no legitimate business can pay such
rates of interest and prosper. Farmers can
not afford to buy corn at 69 cents cash per
bushel, and yet they are paying “on time” 54
per cent, per annum on the cash price. Offer
to lend a man money at 54 per cent, ver an
nnm. or 4V6 per cent, per month, and he would
feel that his intelligence was insulted, and yet
he buys corn, agrees to pay 54 percent, per
annum on the cash price, and mortgages nis
property to secure the payment of principal
and interest.
Similar rates are paid on bacon and hay
which could and should be produced on the
farm.
The cities were formerly fed by the country,
now the country is fed from the cities. This
is an unnatural, abnormal condition of things
that must be reversed or bring disaster upon
both country and cities.
Mules and horses purchased during the last
season cost the purchasers 11 per cent, more
than they did the year before.
Correspondents report 7 per cent, more fer
tilizers purchased than last year at 4 per cent,
less cost per ton. They report *lO as the cash
price paid per ton for ammoniated super
phosphates, and *33 per ton for non ammon
iated super phosphate. Only 7 per cent, how
ever, of the whole quantity purchased has
been bought for cash.
The average cotton option price, in lint cot
ton per ton. payable next fail, is 464 pounds
for ammoniated super-phosphate, aßd 410
pounds lint cotton for non ammoniated super
phosphate. These prices vary considerably in
the different counties and sections. In North
Georgia the average cotton option price of
ammoniated super-phosphate is 455 pounds lint
cotton; in Middle Georgia, 465 pounds; in
Southwest Georgia, 481 pounds; in East Geor
gia. 442 pounds, and in Southeast Georgia 490
pounds. For non-ammoniated super phos
phate, in North Georgia, 3£l pounds; in Middle
Georgia, 410 pounds: Tn Southwest Georgia, 396
pounds, and in Southeast Georgia 477 pounds
lint cotton.
Pish. —The Introduction of the German carp
anil the wonderful growth they have made,
have excited an interest in fish culture never
before felt in the State. Numerous private
ponds are being constructed in the State, in
anticipation of the fall distribution of fry. In
some counties as many as twenty ponds are in
process of construction. The success of those
distributed in the fall of 1879 has exceeded the
expectations of the most sanguine, and the
fact that they have spawned this spring, when
only two years old from the egg. has demon
strated the peculiar adaptation of our climate
to their culture. If the usual supply of fry is
obtained from Professor Baird, or the United
States Commission of Fish and Fisheries, and
i that supply is supplemented by draft* upon the
1 ponds in the State, all reasonable demands for
: stocking the ponds in the State can probably
! be met this fall. Very respectfully,
J. T. Henderson,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

Mr. Lockwood’s Prayer.
The following is the prayer of Rev.
Mr. Lockwood, of tbe First Baptist
Church, Albany, which created such a
sensation upon the reassembling of the
New York Legislature, with the com
ment thereon by the Albany Evening
limes :
“Our Father and our God we come to
Thee seeking Thy favor and wisdom for
this Legislature. A great issue is before
them about which strong persons are ex
cited. Conflicting influences are press
ing them. Selfishness and hatred are
the motives lhat prompt human actions,
alas, too often. Love of position or
place may swerve weak men from their
integrity and honor. We pray Thee to
help the weak to be loyal to their con
victions in the coming conflict of opin
ions. May neither organized menace
nor fear of personal loss lead any man
to betray his self respect or barler his
honor, and thus may they all fulfill the
trust which has been reposed ip them.
And may the result be that which shall
have their approval, which shall fully
and clearly establish the right and defeat
the wrong. If in any way the honor of
the State has been affected by the false
ness or folly of any man, we pray Thee
that it may by the wisdom of this Legis
lature be made to assert its dignity to
our country and its representatives.
May all their deliberations be charac
terized by courtesy and charily, and in
all manliness of spirit. Hear us iu our
prayer for health and strength and wis
dom for these men, and, as sinners all,
we seek Thy forgiveness through Jesus
Christ. Amen.”
No prayer of the session has created
such a sensation. The “amen” was fol
lowed by a buzz sufficient to drown the
voice of any ordinary speaker. “Well,
if that wasn’t a stalwart prayer!” “That
was a stump speech; that was no
praj’er!” “Who is he?” “Why, he is
the clergyman in whose church a peti
tion for Conkling’s re-election was cir
culated last Sunday,” etc , etc. The
prayer—a manuscript copy of which
was discovered—was instantly tele
graphed to New York.
The Blue and the Gray Decorate To
gether in Louisiana,
On Decoration day at Chalmette, La.,
a committee of the Army of Northern
Virginia presented the Grand Army
of the Republic with a tri col
ored mound of flowers, of which
the alternating colors were red, white
and blue. Their chairman said: “We
have been delegated as a committee of
the veterans of the Army of Northern
Virginia to present to you this tribute to
your dead. We hope and trust that at
the last great muster all who fought on
both sides during the late war may an
swer the call together on the bright field
above, where all is peace and good-will.”
The following is a verse from the memo
rial poetry read on the occasion:
Comrades, to-day the blue and gray—
Serene from fields of sufferance
With Grant or Lee—have opened free
The golden door of utterance ;
And from Alaska's barren shade
To Florida’s luxuriant glade,
From hills of Maine to blooming plain
Of Texas. I h rills one story—
Men heart and hand united stand,
Columbia’s pride and glory,
While her bol i flag waves—land or sea—
Proud, fearless, beautiful an® free !
Canvassing for Mr. Dayis’ Work.
A canvasser for Mr. Jefferson Davis’
new book came to signal grief in one of
the northern counties of Mississippi,
where he encountered a native who in
sisted that Mr. Davis could not have
written the book, seeing that “he was
kilt juring the wah,” which recalls the
good story of Judge Wiley P. Harris,
who returned to Mississippi after voting
against the Kansas-Nebra&ka bill, sure
that the eyes of the country were fixed
upon him, and not quite certain
as to his reception. Tbe first man
he met was a prominent local politician
and leader in his beat. The Judge ap
proached him timidly and shook hands.
The local leader was delighted to meet
him. “Wiley, I’m powerful glad to see
you; where have you been all this time?”
“I am in Congress, you know, and I
have been in Washington,” said the
Judge. “Why, have you?” replied the
local; “I missed you from here, but I
thought you had gone to Texas, and was
on the Gaudaloup along o’ your Uncle
Buck. ”
The Boston “Institute of Heredity”
held a convention last week. A long
discussion took place on the necessity of
race culture. A school is to be opened
for the young to teach “the sanctity of
the reproductive relations” and “the di
vinity of sex.” This is Boston’s latest
whim. It seems to us that this delicate
subject or science should be taught at
home. A school to teach “the sanctity
of ths reproductive relations ’ to a lot of
young people is very likely to become a
school for scandal. Parker tPillsbury,
Bronson Alcott, Mary Safford and
others warmly urged the establishment
of the school, and the sentiment of the
meeting was in favor of some radical re
form in marriage relations, which would
develop healthy offspring.— Courier-
