say, editor of tbe New Orleene Democrat,
who is on e brief visit to this eity, celled

sequently with Seoretary Key vlaited the
President. Major Hearsay expresses him
self muob gratified with tbe oourteoua
reception extended him, and with the
very kindly sentiments expressed by the
President toward the South. He thinks,
indeed, that it is the earnest purpose of
tbe President to be the Exeoutive of the
South as well ea other sections of the Union,
and its true friend. In the course of con
versation, Mr. Hayea expressed hie grattfi
oetion of the pesoeful attitude of the South
during the late riots, end remarked pleas
antly (bat the most antagonistic seotiona
of the oountry, New England end the
South, were, during tbe excitement end
oonfliot, the most tranquil. The Presi
dent also expressed the hope that he
would be able to visit New Orleans during
the holiday vaoations of Congress, snd
was assured by the editor of the Demo
crat that be would be oordially weloomad
by the people not only of New Orleana
but of the whole State.
Major Hearsay referred to tbe recent
Postal Ooqvention at Old Point Comfort

dent, and also of the Postmaster General,
in refereuoe thereto, impressed him with

fort will be made by the Administration

quate postal servioe.

stated that nine-tenths of the whole peo
ple of Louisians endorsed the proeeontion
of tbe Returning Board, end would insist

ously to a oonoluaion. At the same time
he said that there waa literally no opposi
tion to Mr. Hayes in Louisians, end no
considerable body of the people that
oould be organized to anpport or approve
any oivil or revolutionary prooeea to dis
turb him. or question bis title to the Pres.

it wee impossible to find a lasting remedy

What a Russian Private Carries.
A letter from Giurgeo to the London
Timet says:
“Tbe Russian private in e marching
regiment oarries no lees than seventy-two
pouudB, English. In his own oonntry he
reoeived daily three pounds of bread and
aeven and a half oopeoks for all else, but
in Ronmania his oopeoks would not buy
him the meat that be wanted, so the Gov
ernment gave him half a ponnd of meat
and two and a half oopeoks, instead of the
full money he reoeived before. He baa
also served out to him a small ration of
spirits to connteraot tbe deadly damps of
the river. His great coat ia long and
heavy; he oarries it in the shape of a horse
eollar aronnd his left shoulder. Round
tbe ooat ia wrapped one man’s share of
the tent,a square piece of oanvass famish
ed with eyelet-holes and a string. Four
of anch pieces are bonnd together, snd
form a sort ot rough Gypsy tent, tbe endB
of whioh ere oarried by two other men;
tbe seventh carries the atioks whioh form
upright end ridge poles. Thus seven
men carry the tent under which they can
sleep; bnt it is smell, hot end stuffy by
day, while s heavy ahower of rain pene
trates easily throngh the eyelet-holes, tbe
ill-oloaed apertures, end even throngh the
oanvsaa itself. Probably the protection
is not worth the extra weight to be car
ried.
Tbe Blabeat Silver Mine* In (he
World.
Philadelphia Ledger.!
Specimens of silver oro from the Gerro
de Pasco silver mines, in Peru,
show that tbe submerged portion of tbe
mountain is very rich, and a rough esti
mate shows that a body of ore will be
exposed, by the new tnnnel which Henry
Meigs is to bnild, worth from $300,000,-
000 to $500,000,000. These mines have
laid nnder water for fifty years, and are
sceroely known to the present generation,
though they have been worked for 250‘
years, when tbe miners bad to stop on
account of tbe water. Pern has now dis
covered that a tnnnel can he built which
will drain the monntain completely, by
draining off the lake from which the water
in tbe mine comes, aod she is so mnoh
in earnest about it that tho first loads of
tbe now submerged oro are expected to
reaoh Lima in four months. It is pre
dicted that, within ton years, more silver
will be taken out than from the silver
mines in Nevada.
A Man’s Head Pulled Off.—Yester
day a gentleman named Witbnr, just ar
rived from Frio oonnty, reported in the
offioe of Messrs. Moss A Bennett that a
day or two ego, near tbe Frio, the body
of a man, whose name we failed to learn,
was fonuil on tbe prairie with hie head
oompletely severed from the body. Near
tbe body was found a horse, with a raw
bide lariat fastened to the saddle, the
other end of the iariat being attaohed to
tbe horns of a steer. ThU larist for adio-
tanoe of three or fonr feet, was freshly
atoined with blood, and the supposition
wee that in lassoing a ateer the lariat had
accidentally beoome twisied or wound
aronnd the men’s neok, end that after
be had oenght tbe steer in the rope he
bed been dragged sbont by tbe horse end
eteer until his head had been rampletely
torn from tbe body. The roan's heed had
not been found when Mr. W. left that

—Among the many relies in the posses

—Mr. Adolpbna Cowart, of New Provi-

was in the act of mounting his male, hav

—Mr. Hayes is now considering appli
cations for amnesty to parties in Alabama
and other States, agaiDBt whom prosecu
tions have been inatitnted for violation of
the internai revenne laws. Tbe snbjeot
has been referred to the Attorney General
and tbe Oommiesioner of Internal Revs,
nue for their views, and the report of
the latter offloer has already been made.
Mr. Ranm, the commissioner, says that
no precedent should be establiebed in one
case or dietriot which will not admit of
general application to the nnmetons eaees
of applioatton for amnesty in different
Statee, bnt he is favorable generally to
extending emneety in oases where the par.
ties concerned in illioit distilling come
forward and surrender Iheir stills. Gen.
Forney, of Alabama, wbo is in Washington
nrging amnesty, wishes this principle to
be extended from persons who are able to
Bhow that they have no stills now in their
possession, and who engage henoefortb
to avoid these offenses. The beiief is that
the Government ia disposed to oonsidor
the applications for amnesty favorably,
bnt the difflonlty ia that the United States
Dietriot Attorneys and Marshals have an
interest in keeping alive these prosean-
tions, and renewing them npon insuffi
cient reasons.
—Tnakegee Newt; Tuskegee has been
honored by the presence of several distin
guished gentlemen during the last week.
Ge serai John B. Gordon, Georgia’s dis
tinguished Senator, Ool. Tanl Bradford,
ex-member of Congress from this district,
Governor William H. Smith, Judge Wil
liam M. Brooks, President of the State
Seeession Convention of 1861, and Ool.
./obnston, of Selma, late chairman of the
State Demooratio Executive Committee.
They were in attendance before Ohanoel-
lor Graham to argue a canao transferred
by agreement from the Ohanoery Court
of Cleburne oonnty to tbe Chancellor in
vaoation at this plaoe. The bill waa filed
by John B. Gordon, W. S. Gordon and
Ben Halliday, against Itiobsrd J. Wood
and others, olaimiug nnder him to enforoe
tbe speoifio performance of a oontraot for
the pnrebase by complainants of said Wood
of a valuable copper mine in the county
of Clebnrne. The complainants show
that a contraot in writing whs made
by them with tbe defendant Wood, by
whioh they undertook to take up oortaiD
mortgages on the land on whioh the oop-
per mine is situated, to pay ten thousand
dollars in oash and to make titles to lands
in Kansas, all to tho amount of $100,000
the estimated value of the mine. The
oomplainants aliegi that they did do all
that they were bound to do by said oon
traot, or were exonsed (herefrom by the
acts of tbe defendant Wood nnd did ten
der a deed to tbe Kansas lands at tho time
agreed on by the parties, bnt that the
defendant Wood refused to oonvey tho
lands on whioh the mine is situated as he
had bonnd himself by oontraot to do.
Tbe defendant shows and insists that the
oompiaioants have not performed their
oontraot in the paying off of tbe mort
gages or in the payment of tbe money or
in the making of each deed or for snah
land as the oontraot requires and has not
tendered to him a deed to tho lands on
whioh the mine is situated,
for execution and on other
grounds seek to avoid the oontraot.
The evidence is volnmiuoas and conflict
ing. Tbe oaae is very important, involv
ing largo snd valuable property and is
exceedingly Interesting snd will no doubt,
when deoided by tbe chancellor lie taken
to the Supreme Court for final aettlement.
It waa oommenoed before the Chancellor
on Wedneaday, 25tb, and ably argued by
these distinguished lawyers, on Saturday,
July 28th. Ool. Bradford for the entu-
g lainanta opening and closing, snd Gov.
inith, Judge Brooks and Col. Jobnaton
for tbe defendants in speeches of no
grest length bnt of groat force, strength
and ability, anataining folly, and if possi
ble, adding to tbeir great reputations.
Tbe Cbanoellor has the osso now for his
deoision.

A RAD OUTLOOK FOR THE GODB AT THE THE
ATRE.
From the Wllmlogton Star.)
A gentleman of this oity has taken the
tronbie to obtain all the information pos
sible io regard to the condition of the
growing orops in Virginia, North Carolina
and Tennessee, together with other faots
of interests in tbe trade. In reference to
the orops in Virginia, it has been ascer
tained from reliable sources that there has
been ebont twenty-two per oent. decrease
in the area of land planted in peanuts ns
oompared with 1876. The weather has
been mnoh less favorable than in 1876,
or than tbe average for many yoara. Tbo
stands are very poor and ohoked with
grass, owing to continued wet weather.
The orop 1s sbont. twenty-five days later
than laat year. Tbe labor in number and
efficiency is abont tho same ns last year.
The use of fertilizers, aa oompared with
1876, shows a doorcase of about forty per
oent. Tbe present condition of tbe crop
is stated as very grsssy, weakly and back
ward. Tho decrease in acrengo and use
of fertilizers is attributed to the general
disgust with the very low priaes obtained
for last year's orop. Tbo stook in Norfolk,
whioh is tbe reeognlzed distributing point
for Virginia peanuts, is stated at 8,000
bagi. Demand stroDg.
Information in regard to the orop in
Tennessee is obtained from Messrs. Mil
ieu, Brown A Oo., ootton factors and
commission merohants, Cincinnati, Ohio.
They say it is too early to speak with any
oertaioty of the ooming Tennessee peannt
orop, bnt with tho best information they
oan obtain thoy are led to believe that
the aoreage will be 26 to 60 per oent. less
than laat year, and tbe orop ten or fifteen
days later. Tbe condition at present is
fair. The stook in Oinoinnati is as fol
lows : White (light) say 4,000 to 5,000
bags; red (large) say 83,000 to 36,000
bags. Demand good and market steady.
From tbe best information in referenoe
to tbe orop in onr own State, it is safe to
aay that tbe averages will be from 30 to 86
per oent. less than last year; stand very
bad ; condition at present fair. Tbe stock
in Wilmington oomprises 12,000 bags.
Demand good.
NotTbaat Way.
Seated on tbe extreme end of a narrow
benoh in the Contra) Market yesterday
was a boy wbo seemed to have made up
his mind that life was a sham and happi
ness a myth. He was solemnly and In
tently gazing at a collection of' fonr oab-
bage-heads, six beets, a peek of onions
and three ononmbers, when along oame a
young man and asked?”
“What ailH yon?"
“Strnok!” was the solemn answer.
“Have, eh?" How'dyon come ool?"
“I waa working for dad at fifty oents a
day,” sadly explained the boy on the
bench,
“I was the only hand,and I tbongbt if I
atinak tor a dollar a day he’d have to shut
np shop and be busted or oome to my
terms.
“And did it tnrn out that wayl” quer
ied the other.
“Not quite. The old man didnV seem
a bit terror-atrioken, but he bonnood me
through a window and hired another boy
to do my work at three shillings a day!"
“What’ll I do?" asked the other.
“Weil, I s'pose I'll have to go nrnnnd
telling the boys that oapital has ground
me into the dost,” was tbe tearful reply.

Nobody Ever Killed ry Lightning in
Laboe Cities.—A Now York paper says :
In no reoord that has yet been published
for many years past, while thunder clouds
have hung over this oity and disoharged
tbeir artillery at ns, has a single death on-
onrred here from atmoapherio eleelrioity,
while its fatal effects have been visiblo in
all directions beyond onr oily limits. In
a conversation with a noted electrician, a
few years sinoe, we drew his attention to
that fact, and suggested that what with
tbe iron, gaa and water pipes in every
building, whioh oondnoted lightning info
the very ground deeper than even
e regnlar lightning rod would
do it, tbe masses of iron em
ployed in all shapes in modern
■trnotnres, and the bundles of telegraph
wires rnnning strung over our heads, ami
higher then tbe average height of onr or
dinary buildings, and while every street
almost has iron tracks for street railroads,
the elentrio fluid was so generally distrib
uted that there was no ohanae for it to
concentrate anywhere. The electrician in
question saw the force of the suggestion
and concurred in it, and evidently per-
ooived that New York oity ia no place for
the profitable proseoution of the lightning
rod bnsineas.
