A last of Oakland, Cal., has ac
complished the feat of eating thirty
partridges in as many days. She
took them broiled lor breakfast, and
relished the birds until she had got
ten about half through her task.
After that they became nauseating
and made her olek every day. but she
perserved to the end, winning scoo.
Tie pork paoklng of last week In
the sli principal cities showed a fall
ing off of 65,009 head as oomi>ared with
the previous weok, and 35,000 as com
pared with the corresponding week
of last year. But the total packing
of the season in thebe cities Is now
190,000 greater thadthat of last sea
son to the same dates. The falling
off of lost week was mainly at Chi
cago.
Tim Washington (Mo.) Observer of
November 20th hsd an account of a night
flight of grasshoppers over that place,
coming from the north and going in s
southerly direction. They were of the
largest type ef Rocky Mountain species,
some of them measuring fully three inches
in leDgtb from “head to toe,” They evi
dently came across the Missouri River,
which at Washington is fully three fourths
of a mile wide.
A hknsatiok bos been caused at Wash
intou by the discovery of a robbery of the
Treasury. Though the matter lus not
been officially divulged, it is reported
that a package of national currency ship
ped to Illinois National Bank of Chicago
in exchange for money sent by the bank
to the Treasury for redemption was found
on fts arrival to consist of waste paper.
The package was ) egistersd with the ex
press company as containing $12,000, and
an investigation into the case since the
robbery, three weeks ago, goes to show
that the theft took place in the cash-room
of the Treasury, where the package was
mode up prior to shipment.
A meeting was to have been held
in Washington last night to take
into consideration a proposition to
abolish tho Presidency by an amend
ment of the constitution. A dispatch
to tho New York World soys that it
is proposed to abolish the Presi
dency and substitute an Executive
Council therefore, to bo composed of
seven Secretaries, or heads of deport
ments, four to be. elected by the
House of Representatives and three
by the Senate, from members of
their respective houses, for two
years, one or nil to be removed at
any time by the House electing them,
and each to have the rights ef a
member ih both houses.
Wkli.B supplements! his explanation
of the reason why the Democrats
were not allowed one member of the
returning board of Louisiana, by
saying that the Republican members
could not agree in the acceptance of
the Domocrutio nominee. He admits
that Mr, Kennedy, who wus nomi
nated by the Democrats, was accept
able to him, but simply says that his
associates "could not agree,’’ and
they let the matter drop there, never
informing the Democrats of their
objections or asking for another nom
ination. It is evident that they would
never have "agreed” upon any Dem
ocratic nominee, because their pur
pose was not to have a Democrat on
the board. It was really their duty
to acoept any man whom the Demo
crats might nominate, even if they
had personal objections to him. But
in this case Wells says that they did
not urge any personal objections.
The law of the State required that
the Democrats should have a repre
sentative in the board.
A World correspondent In New
Nampshire explains how the voters
of that State were "bulldozed” into
voting for Hayes ; In Nashua, Man
chester, Hooksett and Suncook, all
largo manufacturing places, “the
foreman or superintendent, and
sometimes paymasters, were ordered
to and did inquire of every em
ployee under them how they were
going to vote at theelectton, and any
hesitating to reply for Hayes were
told if they refused to vote or voted
for Tilden they would be discharged
and never taken on again. Nor did
they stop thero, but sent notice or
called upon every one of those board
ing the operatives of the different
mills, and informed them that if they
knew of any of their boarders who
iutended to or did vote for Samuel J.
Tilden and did not at once inform
the proprietors of the mills, all opera
tives would be forbidden, under pen
alty of discharge, to remain with
them.” The correspondent adds
that thousands of voters were secur
ed for Hayes in this way.
Pittsburg, Pen nsylvauia, was treat
ed to a genuine sensation during the
past week, It was occasioned by the
sudden return of a man named Okieb.
who several years ago was President
of the National Trust Company of
that city, and, becoming a defaulter
to the tune Of about a half million of
dollars, fle<J the country. Communi
cation was kept up with him, howev
er. and be returned on the strength
of a promise that if he would tell what
had become of the money, and see
that a portion be restored he would
noi be punished. He did so. Now,
it is said, the city is in a fever of ex
citement, and that Grier will impli
cate some of the leading citizens of
the city. A late Pittsburg paper re
ports the sudden disappearance of a
prominent merchant and politician
in this connection. When Grier tells
the whole story, it is said that some
thing equal to a dynamite explosion
wiU ooour is Pittsburg. It is said
that the concern he was connected
with was quite a rotten affair, and
that he was paid well to abscond and
shoulder the responsibility of other
people’s rascality.—Cincinnati Enqui

THE CROWNING OUTRAGE.
FEDERAL INTERFERENCE IN FLORIDA.
The latest news from Plot Ida un
mistakably indicates that the Radi
cal managers at Washington, and
most probably the Administration
Itself, have interfered to prevent
the State officials from obeying the
mandate of the Supreme Court.
Wb are advised that Gov. Stearns
and the Secretary of State at first
determined to obey the order of
the court; indeed the Secretary of
State had appointed a day for re
cauvassing the returns aud sum
moned tho other members of the
board to meet him for that pur
pose, but simultaneously with
the arrival at Tallahasso of
ex-Attorney Generul Williams from
Washington, comes the announce
ment that the Secretary withdrew
his appointment, and refused to par
ticipate In the re-canvass. It is evi
dent that instructions or advice from
Washington brought about this
change of purpose and induced the
majority of the canvassing board to
treat with contempt the highest ju
dicial authority of the State. The
announcement that Judge Wood was
expected to reach Tallahassee yes
terday is also suggestive that a Fed
eral Judge will be on hand to shield
the members of the board from
punishment for contempt, as Judge
Bond shielded the contumacious
board In South Carolina.
Federal interference in State affairs
could manifest itself in no more of
fensive or unjustifiable manner than
this. It subordinates all Suite law,
all responsibility of State officials to
their own local governments, to Fed
eral authority. It encourages and
backs up contumacious State officers
in disregarding luw and judicial au
thority and acting according to their
own whims or partisan feelings. The
Federal Government has just as
much right to encourage and pro
tect from punishment a State official
who has stolen or misappropriated
the public funds, as it has to encour
age and protect canvassing boards in
the way it bos instigated and shield
ed those of South Carolina and
Florida. If such things are permit
ted to go unrebuked and unredress
ed, we will have no Stato govern
ments with any exolusive powers or
jurisdiction, but all will be grasped
by the centralized government at
Washington.
This renewed interference in Flor
ida revives our aculest apprehension
that the Radical leaders at Washing-
Ton are determined to consummate
their purpose to inaugurate Hayes
in spite of all legal obstacles. They
would not have resorted to such a
proceeding at this stage of the Presi
dential squabble, without such a pur
pose, because it so plainly shows
their determination to succeed by
fraud and concealment of the truth.
They must be conscious of the dis
gust and indignation with which all
fuir-minded men will regard sueh an
unwarrantable intermeddling with
State politics and State officials; but
they brave it in view of an object
which they consider of paramount
party importance, nnd that
object can only be the
defeat of Tilden and Hendricks.
But it is passible that this last out
rage will aid materially in tho crea
tion of such a public sentiment at
the North ns will eventually contri
bute to their defeat. We are now
more than ever convinced that such
a sentiment iu that section and its
prompt and vigorous expression can
alone prevent the inauguration of
Hayes or the prolongation of the
rule of Grant. The Democratic and
Conservative masses of the North
and West may, by the expression of
their firm determination to uphold
the rights of the people and the spir
it and forms of the constitution, yet
defeat the scheme of the conspira
tors, but it is painfully apparent that
no restraints of law and no scruples
of conscience will have any effect.
What Mr. Ferrjr Sara.
Tho Chicago Times reports an in
terview with Mr. Ferry, President of
the Senate, in which he was rather
reticent in reference to what he
would do about counting the Electo
ral vote. But in allusion to a remark
of Senator Cockrell, to the effect that
he did not bolieve the Republicans
would make Ferry count the vote,
the latter exclaimed, "What does he
propose should be done let the
oouutry go to the dogs ?”—a remark
which tho Times’ reporter regards as
significant.
Mr. Ferry denied that there was
any concerted plan among the Re
publicans about the count, and in
stanced evidences of their disagree
ment. He justified his refusal to
give receipts to the messengers car
rying him the Electoral votes of
their States, on the ground that such
receipts would enable two messen
gers from each of several States to
draw mileage from the Treasury.
Ferry complained of Randall’s se
lection of Mr. Willard, Republican,
as one of the joint committee to re
port a plan for counting the votes.
According to agreement, Ferry ap
pointed four Republican and three
Democratic Senators, and Randall
appointed four Democratic and three
Republican Representatives. But
Ferry says that Randall knew that
Willard, one of the Republican Rep
resentatives appointed by him, “was
not likely to act' in accordance with
the Republicans.” He also com
plained that no Southern Represent
atives had been appointed on the
committee; thought that there was a
design in this.

KENTUCKY’S BLUE GRASS RE6ION.
FA XETTE COUNTY -- LEXINGTON.
Lexinoton, Fayette County, Ky., I
December 26, 1876. f
Editor Columbia Timet:
Fayette county, Kentueky, is the
heart and center of Blue Grass Ken
tucky—the garden spot. It Is located
in the middle of "The Dark and
Bloody Oround ,” being on the blue
waters of the Elkhoru and Kentuoky
rivers; bounded on the north by
Scott, south by Madison and Jes
samine, east by Bourborn, and west
by Woodford: twenty-five miles from
south to north—eleven miles wide.
It contains 176,000 acres of rich land,
gently undulating. All fho streams
flow Into the river Kentucky. The
county population is estimated at
31,000. The taxable property at a
fair value is $10,000,000. It is the
second in valu. in tho State, Jeffer
son being first.
There is not a richer or more pro
ductive county in America to its
acreage than Fayette.
ONE HUNDRED YEARS AOO,
On tho 7th day of Juno last, Daulel
Boone, tho pioneer of this State,
found the soil a deep mass of thick
black vegetable mold, tho gathering
of ages, making it a* hot-bed of fer
tility. Changes took place after the
forest was cleared away; the heat of
the sun and atmospheric agencies
were admitted to tho virgin soil, urul
it deteriorated. Then came the
thick blue grass and covered the
whole face of the earth, making it as
beautiful as the garden of Eden and
as fertile as Sicily. The soil now va
ries from a dark brown mulatto color
to a still lighter brown on top soil.
The wheat crop of this county is
always a largo one, the yield being
abundant. The corn crop never falls
below 1,200,000 bushels annually.
The hemp crop is ueur four uud a
half million pounds—enough to hung
Grant and all his crew should they
establish u Dictatorship in this land
of freedom and liberty guaranteed to
us by the constitution handed down
by father to son for a hundred years.
With all this fertility of soil, Fayette
is a stock raising county. The water,
soil and grasses are particularly rich
in the component parts necessary for
the formation of bone and muscle,
resulting in the county becoming
on''"ust stable and cowpon.
HORSES.
Lexington, Longfellow, Tom llow
liDg and a host of others claim this
section as their native puddock—all
noted racers at home and abroad.
Her blooded horses are daily sought
in the market.
OTHER STOCK.
Fine droves of mules, splendid
herds of short-horns lounge in her
gardens; southdown and cotswold
sheep fill her folds; Berkshire and
Chestershire swine till her pens.
X.EXINQTON,
The County site, is located "ou
the North fork of the Elkhorn Creek,
twenty five miles south-cust of
Frankfort, sixty-four miles from
Marysville, iu a south-west direction,
seventy-seven miles south-east, of
Louisville, eighty-five miles South of
Cincinnati, 517 miles from Wash
ington, now garrisoned bytroo|>s to
prevent the inauguration of Tilden
and Heudricks, chosen by the will of
the whole people. The latitude of
Lexington is 38 deg. C min. North,
Longitude 84 deg. 18 min. West.
The city proper is on a high table
land on which Lexington is centrally
built, formed by an up-shake of the
lower silurinn rock formation; the
elevation of Lexington is 950 feet
above tho ocean level; population
20,000. The principal trade is hemp,
dry goods, whiskey, and live stock.
There are many large and handsome
buildings of modern stylo and im
provements; the streets run at right
angles and are well paved ; fine mac
adamized roads leave the city iu every
direction ; the private residences are
beautiful, and well surrounded with
shrubbery and flowers. Her people
are noted for their refined hospital
ity. Educational advantages in the
city arc good. Her medical profes
sion are regarded as skillful. Her
bar has but few equals, and
no superiors. Her pulpits are
filled with men of ability, possessing
humble Christianity. Her women
are intelligent, refined and cultiva
ted, polished in society, good moth
ers, fond wives, and beautiful to be
hold. Her men are the soul of honor
and chivalry and manhood.
The geology of Lexingron aud the
surrounding oouutry is well worth
the attention of the scientific. The
lower Silurian rock strata, which un
derlie the city, are in the main com
posed of layers varying in thickness
from less than a half inch to to three
feet, of a dark gray blue, changing
to yellow-gray, granular limestone,
usually quite fosiliferous, called by
some geologists blue limestone, the
layers being at places separated by
seams of marl, generally of a light
color.
This limestone is much used in the
construction of race tracks, turn
pikes, macadamized roads, and valu
able for building stone fences.
When burnt it yields good lime.
When well calcined the earthy layers
of magnesia and silica make a fine
hydraulic cement.
This limestone is shelly and fossil
iferous, nHd continues each year to
disintigrute when the atmospheric
effects reach it, keeping up the pro
ductiveness of the soil.
Water coming in contact with this
rock, in washer-woman dialect be
comes "hard,” and when boiled de
posits a crust of carbonate of lime
and magnesia, oxide of iron on the
boiler if of iron.
The wells and springs are of like
character, hence cisterns of rain
water are fouud in all places for
drinking, cooking aud washing pur
poses.
Calculous diseases are said to be
increased by the uso of tho wafer.
; The writer doubts this, the late Prof,
j Benj. W. Dudley to the contrary.
Deep wells bored in this section
| contain common salt and sulphura
j ted hydrogen, mixed with carbonic
j acid gasses. ,
Irregular disintegration of ttie
limestone layers lias made many
deep caverns and sink holes, some
of which are filled with much water.
