CaJUpttm D. R. FREEMAN. Editor and Proprietor. S tturday, April I4 1877, THE TIMES. It is asserted that 300,000 persons went to Texas daring 187 G. Mrs. Stonewall Jackson will make Charlotte, North Carolina, her perma ncnt home. A Bureau of Agriculture has been established in Virginia, embracing mi ning and manufactures. The grasshoppers threaten the total destruction of the wheat and oats crop in Bosque county, Texas. Democratic legislation in Louisiana has reduced the annual expenses of the State and the city of New Orleans £700,000. Richard Caswell, the first Goverm r of North Carolina, has a great grand daughter in the Oxford Orphan Asy lum, in that State. A colony* of San Francisco women have undertaken to solve the woman problem by buying a big farm and go ing to work. The jail at Conyers, was burned Sun day night, and the only prisoners, two negroes, perished. Cortina, the Mexican border cattle thief, has been sent to Vera Cruz, where he will be imprisoned in the’castle if San Juan D'Ulloa. § Cook’s monument on the shore of Kealakekua Bay, Sandwich Islands, has been surrounded with a chain fence, a dozen old 32-pounders serving as posts. Flowers and shrubs have been planted in the enclosure 3 also, seeds of the algarobo tree. The ground was given by the Princess Likelike, now Mrs. Cleghorn. A bill has been passed by the Legis lature of Tennessee to reduce the sala ry of the Governor from £4,000 to £3, 1)00 ; Supreme Court Judges fiom £4,- 000 to £3,000 3 Judges of Inferior Courts and all special Judges from £2,- 500 to £2,000. The bill, after it re ceives the promised signature of the Governor, goes into effect alter the next general county election. There are now eight large vessels in Mobile bay loading with timber for Eu rope, and four others have just cleared. They take on an average wood to the value of £IO,OOO. Should the proposed break-water be built in the lower bay, so as to afford a shelter for vessels while loading, this trade would at once de velop into an important industry of the city. The Secretary of the Treasury has directed the Treasurer of the United States to keep as a Special Fund, sepa rate from all other money, the legal, tender notes received in exchange for silver coin. The Treasurer will open an account with Jhese notesjit once, aod they will be held only for the pur pose of redeeming silver, as required by the provisions of the joint resolu tion. Samuel Richardson died in New York Sunday from the effects of the bite of a cat received last New Year’s day.— For some time past he bad been trou bled with a number of boils on bis neck, and these he attributed to the cat bite. Thursday last he was taken sick, and Sunday morning became delirious. He died without experiencing any pain, and exhibited no Jhydrophobio symp toms except an aversion to liquids of every kind. -■ OIR WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C. April 9,1877. Editor Calhoun limes : In the early days of Meddybemps township in Maine, the faithful were gathered together, as is the custom in New England, to “organize a church.” They were troubled because they were few. It was proposed, ho being the only citizen who would accept the of fice, to make a deacon of a man whose daily walk and conversation singled him out as the one having a special call to serve Satan. There was opposition amoug the brethren, but every one else declined to serve, and the champion sinner was finally counted in, on the general ground that if the church at Meldybemps must havo a deacon it must take such as it could get. lam not writing the history of that church, and not even know if it was represent ed in that pious Boston gathering of a week ago, which abandoned religion for low politics —christ for the infidel Phil lips —but it occurs to me that President Hayes may profitably consider the Med dybemps matter before attempting to secure supporters among the “old whigs” of the South. To one merely looking on it seems plain that those who are good fur anything don’t want to s rve. and those who will serve are not worth having. There is every indication that the President will fail in any effort to secure respectable support in the South. His mere askiag for it is a bid for men’s characters, and cannot be looked at in RDy other light. Who believes he would thus suddenly have abandon ed the negroes—the poor blacks for whom alone his heart bled in Novcm* ber—if the negroes could give him ef ficient support? On sporting language he is backing the “old whig” against the colored man. The movement to nominate General Banks for the Speakership, against the Democratic candidate, gains strength. It is clearly seen that the tion cannot elect any man closely iden tified with itself, and it may prefer giving its influence to a man like Gen. Banks to suffering an undisguised dea feat in its first battle. The election of Banks would not be a defeat for any pa r ty, except the Democratic party His Republicanism is of that chame leon-like kind which would permit all portions of the party to claim a victory in his election, and he is too old and fixed in his wandering habits ever to become permanently attached to any one sect. Besides, ho has hosts of friends, and the Democratic supporters of Hayes—if there are any such— oould be more readily brought to vote for him, than for perhaps any other man. The letter of Garrison and the later speeches of Phillips, both in em phatic and unequivocal condemnation of the administration, bore early fruit in the Northern press. The Boston Journal, which, in its daily edition, read principally by the commercial and business classes in the cities, has been loud in its approval of the President’s policy, has carefully excluded such signs of approval from its weekly edi tion, sent almost exclusively and very extensively to the farming population of New England. The general tone of Republican papers received here is greatly changed in the last ten days. There are signs of trouble outside of the newspapers, too. The prominent Republicans who do not believe in the policy of the President are those who have strength with the masses. I be lieve that Blaine could speak in better condemnation of the administration, in every county in Maine, and not miss in the applause u thousand of the men whose approval has made him for years the uudisputed leader of the party in that State. To the gratification of many, many thousands, the President announced that he will soon commence filling the offices. It is now apparent that the administration will have no “reform” policy that will prevent the punishment of its enemies or the reward of its friends. You may expect a word of remonstrance soon from Geu. Wm. Cur tis, the father of American civil service competitive examination, for an office seekers war is upon us. The President will have a party if he has to buy it.

Come to your homes, forlorn In absence of your odors and your faces j Like Rachel weeps for you the reaved morn, As often as she views your empty places, Erewhile the daily scene of her an i youi embraces. Come, peasile snow drop, like the ear liest star That twinkles on tho brow of dusky Night j Come, iike the child that peeps from door ajar, With pallid cheek, upon wasteful sight; And shouldst thou rise when oil around is white, The more thou’ll demonstrate the pow er of God, To shield the weak against the arms of might, To strengthen feeble shoulders for their load, And sinking hearts ’mid ills they could not full forebode. Come, crocus cup, the cup where ear!) bees Sip the first nectar of the liberal year, Comt and illume our greens, as -imiles Light up the poet’s song. And O, ye dear March violets, corae near, come breath ing near ! You, too, fair primroses, in darksome woods, Shine forth, lise heaven’s constellations clear ; And come, ye daisies, throng in multi tudes, And whiten hills and meadows with your saintly hoods.

Chambers' Journal, LAMBERT’S LICK. Twenty Thousand Hollars in Gold Found in a Cave in Ham blen County, Tennessee. There is a strange story, hut never theless a true or e, to be given for your readers. In the early history of East Tennessee, about 1794, as near as can be determined, three men by the name of Patterson, all brothers, visited the New Market valley, with the intention of buying the rich and extensive lands near what is known as Panther Springs. They brought with them a large amount of money, supposed to be from £20,000 to £50,000 in Mexican coin. While looking over tl.e lands they were mur dered and their monej and other artU cles of value taken from t tbeir person by a hunter, and their were burnt in a cave near what at that time was known as the “buffalo crossing,” now known as tbe Grindstone Ho’low, which place was also the rendezvous of the murderer, whom it is supposed feared that tbe Patterson’s would be uassed from the neighborhood, fied to the wes tern portion of Virginia. There he died, and on his death bed he gave a way bill that his hidden treasure might be found. Some forty years ago, say the older citizens, two men came with the way bill, giving a description of the place, and every effort was made to find the money, but to no purpose, and after several weeks of hard labor gave up the search. Now for the sequel ; During the heavy snow of tbe past winter a man by the name of John Lam-’ bart and a man from the vicinity of Panther Springs went hunting and tracked a coon to a small hole by the edge of a rock. Lambert stopped up the hole, and lemarked that “he would get the gentleman yet, if he wasn’t pretty sharp.” He subsequently went back (it is supposed after the snow had melted) and found two rocks over the hole 3 ho moved them and saw below them a vast cavern. He returned home and procured a bed-cord, tied the same to a walnut tree and descended into it for some 100 feet, and there found tue treasure spread out upon a routs, wilt an old Mexican saddle blanket spread over it. The blanket had decayed un til nothing but the “filling” remain ed. Lambert made these statements to a friend of his, and showed him a pocket full of money. He was a day luboier, and did not know what it was to have any amount of money. Your correspondent viaited the sec tion of country while the people weie making evacuations where Lambert had filled the cave, and witnessed with his own eyes nearly one-half of a human skeleton taken out, and a.i other signs made a hundred years ago. Lambert and his family have departed to some unknown country with the money.—* These are facts, as can be proven by any number of the best citizens of Panther Springs.— Morristown (Tenn .) Gazette, POLITICAL RELIGION (?) IViaat the Methodist Brethren Bonn East Thin Scot Hayes aid His Policy. Boston, April 9.— At to-day’s ses sion oi the New England Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, a res olution was adopted expressive of grat itude to President Hayes and lad/ for banishing liquor from their public unu private receptions, and it was ordered that a copy be sent to the President The question of changing the rules so that Presiding Elders shall be uomina, ted to th; Bishop by the Conference, instead ot being appointed directly by tbe Bishop, was referred to a Commit tee to report at the next session. Rev. Dr. Cummings, in behalf of the American Peace Society, offered reso lutions indorsing the principles of that Society, which were adopted. New York, April 9.—The Metho dist Conference to-day adopted the fol lowing resolution : “While under ordinary circumstances wj should decline to discuss the politi cal affairs of the nation, we deem that the present exigencies caii for an ex pression of confidence in the upright intentions and statesman-like purposes of President Elayes, firuily believing that the policy thus far adopted of c<m ciliation toward those formerly in re bellion and good will toward those for. merly in bondage, cannot fail to ad vance the welfare of the nation and the interests of God’s Kingdom.” A copy of the resolution was ordered to be sent to the President.
