WaSHiPOTo.v, May 1.—Tha president, Secre
taries Endicott and Whitney and Postmaster
General Vilas to-day accompanied the vete
rans of tha Army of tho Potomac to Gettysburg
battlefields.
The president and his party arrived from
Gettysburg at a quarter past nine o’clock this
evening. Tho president expressed himself as
having passed a pleasant day, and having
been much-interested by what ho had aeon
and heard upon tho battlefiold of Gettysburg.
When returning as tho train was hear Mount
Hope station, Maryland, about throe
o'clock this evening, threo pistol
shots were heard in rapid succession
as from a revolver, and the flash ol the weapon
waa seen within two or threo foot of tho
moving train. It is probablo that some enthu
siast had devised this method of celobrating
the passage of the president, and that the
demonstration was only intonded as a salute.
It created eome amusement, and gave rise to
tome jocular comment among the passengers,
but since tho return of the train, rumor has
spread through tho city that tho president was
shot at.

WiBBiaovoa, May 6.—The London Ex
change telegraph dispatch Brofn Vienna statos
that Baron Van Scbacfier, Austrian minister
at Washington, has been instructed by his
government to object to tho appointment of
Kei'ey as United States minister to Austria.
It is supposed that the fact of Mr. Koilov’s wile
being a Jewel. is tho basis for tho objection,
altbongh nothing definito in regard to tho
caused’this action of tho Austrian government
is known.
Tho stato department has not yot received
any protest from the Austrian government
concerning the appointment ol Minister Koily
to Vienna, and the cablo rumor that objection
will bo mado against him because his wife is a
Jowess, finds no credit in administration
circles, as this government recognizes no dif
ference between Jew or Gontilo. It is also
remarked that Mrs. Kelly is not a Jewess ex
cept by parentsge, as sho adjured her relig’
faith when sho msrried a Boman Catholic.
Baron Von Schaeffer, Austrian mlnistor to
this government, said to an. associated press
leportorjto-night, that ho had rocoivod no
communication from tho homo govornmont
.concerning Minister Koiley. Ho said that ho
had informed his government of tho appoint
ment of Mr. Keiloy, and that they knew of
his previous appointment as mlnistor to Italy,
and of tho objection to sending him to that

THE SPRY GENERAL,
Grant Bids Bis l>octor amen, ntul Takes a
llrlak^Walk. .
New York, May 5.—When Dr. Douglas
came to General Grant's houso lost
night thero seemed to ho somo cause
to fear that tho night would bo
a restless one, consequently the doctor atayod
all night. Contrary to expectation General
„ . .. A %-.-A-W
Grant alept yesterday ono hour on hia bed,
which ia longer than ho has slept on hia bed
for months, lie had more sleep yesterday than
he has had for weeks. Colonel Fred Grant
isya he ia feeling quito well this morning.
General Grant treated hia family and house
hold to another surprise to-day by tho marked
change in hia condition from yesterday. Dr.
Douglas said to-night: "II is aimply wonder
ful.'' No one seems more surprised than the
doctors. Tho general worked on hia book for
eoveral hours, and actually wrote twelvo pages
of manuscript himself. The swelling in his
jaw is lees marked, and his general condition
is better than the previous day.
Naw York, May 8.—General Grant worked
on hia book to-day, dictating to tho stenogra
pher and to Colonel Frod Grant, although ro-
J uested by tho latter to rest himself for a few
ays. Hia anxiety to finish tho work seems to
increaso. Ho ia now preparing an account of
General Thomas's campaign, and will tako up
tho leading campaigns of Hie other generals in
due order. Tho swelling haa not abated, nor
is the general's condition on the wholo im-
ved. He feels the losa of his daily drive in
park. Dr. Douglass will remain all night
with General Grant.
New York, May 10.—General Grant alept
lully seven hours Saturday, night and when
tho four doctors of the stall’met in consultation
this afternoon, they found tho general's con
dition was, if anything, improved, but the
cancerous spots were unchanged. Dr. Barker
sails for Europe this wook, and thia waa hia
last consultation beforo going*. When about
to leavo ho bid tho goneral good byo, and
said:
“When I come back in autumn, I shall ex-
r Jet to find your literary work finished to
your satisfaction.”
“Yon don't expect to find mo though, do
you?” said tho general,
“I shall hopo ao anyway,” responded Dr.
arker, aa he went away.
Dr. Shrady said tho two new cancer spots
had not perceptibly increased since Wednes
day. The general at the window waved
adieu to Dr. Douglaa aa ho drovo awoy with
his family.

«You seem to have little uso for the cane,”
suggested a gentleman who joined and walked
with the general.
"I’ll need that jot awhile," replied tho
general, half smiling.
"And now jou've gained another block In
walking distance?” As tbe general turned

add a block at a time this wnj as I get strong

and alternoona—beside riding at midday. Why
do I drive just at noonf The doctors
advised it. They said thero was leee malaria
in the stmoephere at that hour of the day.
No, I feel no more tatlgued, ae I can aae, than

general, as ho reached tho steps of

occasions of exercise.
THSCLOVBRUS TRIAL,

Bicbboxd. Va., May 6.—The trial ot Thom
as Judson Cluverius, charged with the murder
of Fannie LllHo Madison, whose body waa
found in one of tho city retervoire on the 13 th ot
last March, was begun to-day in tho hustings
court in this city.
A large crowd had gathered in and about
the court room. The people were very order
ly, however, the only desire seeming to be to
get a look at the prisoner. Soon alter the
opening of tbe court, Clnveriua was arraigned
and the indictment read, after which, in reply
to the clerk’e qnerry, he pleaded "not guilty."
Cluverine has changed but little in appoar-
ance since his confinement. Ho was some

tbe gravity ol hti case, and showed at time, a
nervousness. He watched with coneid-

Field Productions of Corn, Cotton and Ulco
IntUe State of Georgia,
From Commissioner Henderson’s Pamphlet.
Thero may be states in tho union which, In
proportion to area,claim a larger numbor of
acres of very rich lands than Georgia. Thero
are, no doubt, certain sister commonwealths
which, in their sdaptednoss to certain special
producis, largely exceed tho capacity of Goor
state in the union that is moro gonoraUy
adapted to the production of those neccsssrios
and comforts of life that constitute tho re
sources of a prosperous and happy community.
There is hardly a section of tho stato that is
not able by tbe natural resources of ita soil and
productions to sustain n population in groat
comfort, and lor her number of square miles it
in doubtful if there is » state in tho union that
can count in its limits a greater numbor of
healthflil localities. Cereals do woll, from the
mountain to tho seaboard, with probably tho
single exception of wheat, which has beon
neglected in the put history of tho agriculture
of she slate on tho seaboard, from tho idea that
It could not bo profitably railed tbore. The
few instances where thie culture has beon
attempted, havo developed some very remark
able results in ita favor. Aa largo n yield ns
forty bushels of good whont on an acre has
been produced on tho scncoRst of South Caro
lina in a "biscuit’s toss" of the salt water. In
the northern and middle bells of the state,
grain productions, with clover and the grasses,
offers every cncouragoment. On lands
naturally rich from tho peculiarities of their
location. largo yields of grain aro very com
mon, raising u high an 35 and 40 bushels of
wheat and 70 bushels of oats per aero.
On lands of inferior grado of fortuity, the
product of small grain nitd Indian corn ia a
question ol fertilization only, nnd not ono of
soil or climate. The annual crop of ceroaie
for the state will amount to fully fifty millions
of bushels. This production could be vastly
increased, it tbe strnngo fascination of cotton
culture could be dispelled and wiser counsels
prevail. Tho tendency of tho popular judg
ment is towards this reform, ana when it shall
bo materialized and ita full influences felt, tho
J n
■man and beast” will ho ample, if noE 'super-
abundant.
Tho rice crop, once such a material item its
tho annual census ol Georgia’s production, is
at present reduced to less than forty millions
of pounds. The wet culture of thia grain has,
since the war, been greatly circunuoribed by
the repugnance felt toward* it by nogro
laborers, and it is now being ■nbilituted by tho
upland crop. Gradually this industry is in
creasing and acquiring very considerable im
portance, and itls not at silt improbablo that
rice production will bo so gonorally difltuod
throughout the stato as to mako thin grain ono
of the atapio articles of domostlc use on our
farms.
Sugar production in Georgia might cully
and most profitably bo carrlod to a high figure.
” try county in the extreme southern tier of
stato bordering on Florid., could m.ko tho
sugar crop a most advantageous one, and if
**“' nplomontod by the yield
ties adjacent to those aro
. lueo, a sugar aupplyfor
tho whole Btate would bo n matter ol ouy
achievement. Very partial returns of sugar
made in Georgia, place tho figures as low as
600 hogsheads, but there is good reason for be
Having that thie return doea ‘ ’
means, give tho proper amount
consumed on tho terms in tho cane-producting
section. Tho average yield of eyrnp from
sugnreano is 200 gallons per aero, though as
much aa 600 gallons an aero is by no moans
uncommon. This averago yield would givo at
usual prices ($76.B0) seventy-six dollar-: and
olghty cents an acre—a result far batter than
tho ordinary profits on an aero of cotton. Sor
ghum, both for forago and syrup, ia now ono
of the fixed and popular crops in Georgia and
it ie a historical fact that tho people ol this
union nro greatly indebted to thia state for tho
first dluemination ol this most valuablo agrl
bales on a patch of four acres. It ia not an
empty boast to claim for Georgia that hor
farmers and planters aro 1 pushing with un
usual vigor and intelligence, methods nnd in
quiries which promise to mako her a loading
authority in nil matters pertaining to cotton
production.
Wo subjoin somo well authenticated returns,
made chiefly to the department of agriculture
ol the atate, which g&vo a possible result in
the capacity of the ceil of Georgia in tho pro
duction of our leading staples. These
oxomplea oi good culture, whilo they aro
certainly better than the luccessea of the ordl.

tho eamo
achievement. These instances of fine and
satisfactory yields illustrate the important fact
that Georgia soil end climate respond to tho
farmer’s outlay of money and eare, and that a
very high per centsge may bo realized by tho
man who liberally aud intelligently expends
money in tho yearly operations of his farm.
Tho world is beginning to discover that this is
the truo eeeret of success in agricultural ven
tures. After making reasonable allowances
for the miscarriage that follows unfavorable
seasons, if tho farmer secures a good interest
on tho money he loans hia iarm for tho year,
ho should be satisfied. This ia business, ou
business principles, and will alwsya sustain
tbe man who so conducts it.

The wholo world knosra tho rank which
Georgia holds aa a cotton-producing state. Sbo
now stands third among the states of the union
in her number ot biles. Her crop may bo act
down at about 806,600 bales; and as toquallty,

FniLADELrnu, May 6.—A remarkable story
ot a conspiracy to ruin tho wifo of a rich aboo

partners; Fredorlck A. Acker, a shoo dealer,
of No. 221 South Elovcnth atreet, and a female
detective named Kato Davis. Tho prosocution
was instituted by Mrs. Gussio Elkin, of No,
1,602 North Twenty-first streot,who ia tho wifo
of tho principal defendant. She separated
from her husband about four years ago. Soon
afterward she was awarded $2,000 a year ali
mony. Becently the huaband began proceed
ings for a divorce. Tho wifo consulted hor
lawyer, and tne latter employed Dotoctlvo
John Sharkey to obtain evidenco of an alleged
conspiracy against her. Sufficient evidenco
was gathered by tbe detcctlvo to justify tho
errata.
Mrs. Annio B. Stevens, a boardinghouso
keeper at No. 2,340 Oxford street, testified
about six weeks ago two mon engaged
joard at her houso and insisted upon having
tbe second story front room. Oncol thorn

Wax-named Nimrod Woolcry, a lawyer. Mrs.
Btovens gained tho confidence of tho lawyer,
and after a time ho unfolded to hor tho plot to
compromise Mrs. Elkin, so that
her husband ctfitld obtain a
divorce. He declared that ho waa to rocoivo
$3,000 for his part in tho cuo, and that tho
man who was engaged in an attempt to holray
tho wife, was to receive $1,006. This man was
named Albert Goodshall, nnd wu then board
ing at Mra. Miller'e, at No. 2120 Oxfordstreot,
which is diagonally opposite Mrs. Stevons’s
bouse. The witness saw signals exchanged
between her lodgers and the occupant of Mrs.
Miller’s second-story room, and on two occa
sions saw Mrs. Elkin ioavo hor
neighbor’s house. At another intorviow
with Woolcry eho learned that tbo
night had been fixed when Godshall watt to
entrap Mra. Elkin into entering a disreputable
bouse with him, and that Elkin and tho two
spies weto to confront thorn in tho houso. That
afternoon Mrs. Slovens determined to warn
