THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN 11. MARTIN, ... Editor. Culumltua, Gin FRIDAY D BCE SABER 9.HW, LARGEST CIRCULATION In Ike Cmbllbi to Trod In* i4l floluMbni. 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 rer. ’ 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. —The Augusta CfironiHe and Sentinel,pub lishes a list of oouutles with rate of tax upon the State tax levied in each county, which shows a wide difference in local ad ministration.

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. ” .. # , (>Mll.NsF.il GEORGIA NEW*. -James A.
