INAKEIM GAZETTE SATURDAY JULY 22, 1876. READING ROOMS. In our editorial correspondence from San Diego, allusion was made to a free reading room at that place. We are glad to see these excellent institutions springing up in California, as they probably yield more benefit than any others of the same style. San Diego has had a free reading room for the past four years. It thrives, and no one feels it to be a burden; it is a source of comfort and pleasure to visitor and resident alike, and a credit to the intelligence and public spirit of the town. The cost of such an institution is almost nil, a matter of $20 or $25 a month being ample for all expenses. Indeed there are no expenses other than rent and gas, for all the other work—if it can be called work—is performed by the members of the association, gratis. The work consists of opening and closing the rooms, and seeing to the papers being arranged properly, and the rooms being swept out. That is all. The papers are all gladly furnished by the publishers, free of cost. In return for this trifling outlay there is a comfortable room, lighted at night and heated in winter, where one may read the papers of the day, Eastern and Western, Northern and Southern. It is one of the best institutions for putting it within the reach of all to get a fund of reliable information on all topics of interest at a minimum cost. The curse of the present age and of all past generations has been drink, and no one thing has led more men into drinking habits than the harmless act of dropping into So-and- THE DAIRY. The San Gabriel Farmers' Club have been discussing the destruability of establishing a cheese factory in their district, and we call the attention of farmers in our vicinity to the subject. The first point discussed was, the country's adaptability to milch cows, and it was decided that it was admirably adapted to them. In this connection we call the attention of our readers to the lands in our valley, and quote from a good authority the following: "The whole tract lying west of the Santa Ana and east of the New San Gabriel, and between the hills and the ocean, comprising a block of about 20 miles square, lying in the center of a great valley well supplied by springs and covered with perpetual verdure, is the finest dairy land in the United States. In the northern part of California, in the best dairy districts, it requires the natural growth of ten acres to support one cow, but on these lands the natural grasses will sustain from one to five cows per acre, year after year. Droughts do not affect these lands, as the rising moisture furnishes an unfailing supply. Dairymen should notice this fact, that the valley of the Santa River contains not less than one hundred and twenty square miles of perpetual green pasture. These lands cannot be surpassed in the United States, or anywhere else." There is no district we know of better adapted to the raising of alfalfa than ours. Indeed, valleys of the same class as ours seem to be its natural home, so wonderfully does it thrive. That alfalfa is invaluable as feed for milch cows, we need not say. Indeed, the same author avers that one acre constantly sustains three cows knee deep in green feed the year round, and that cows fed on such pastures yield from twenty-five to fifty per cent more milk, butter and cheese, than they will on any other kind of feed. The importance of this fact to dairymen cannot be over-estimated—from all of which it will be seen that our country... a comfortable room, lighted at night and heated in winter, where one may read the papers of the day, Eastern and Western, Northern and Southern. It is one of the best institutions for putting it within the reach of all to get a fund of reliable information on all topics of interest at a minimum cost. The curse of the present age and of all past generations has been drink, and no one thing has led more men into drinking habits than the harmless act of dropping into So-and-So's just to look at the paper. Having "just looked at the paper," a discussion arises on some point therein mentioned. The interest increases; the blood gets heated. One cannot sit all night in a saloon without taking something. Excitement and alcohol combine, and the innocent, unsuspecting man who stopped in to read the news, steps out drunk. And the habit increases with frightful rapidity. The poison once sown is fearfully hard to eradicate. We say we fear, too truthfully, that many a promising young man has gone to the dogs through having no other channel open to him of gratifying his thirst for information than that which compelled him to drop into So and So's just to look at the papers. Now, the object we have in view is the establishment of just such a room as San Diego has, in Anaheim. If San Diego can support one, surely we can. The cost is trifling, the work of starting it would be a mere nothing; if undertaken by a few practical men. We suggest that our Literary Club, which we are very pleased to see is doing so well, continue in the same good path and aid in the cause of self-culture and self-improvement by taking this matter in hand. They are interested in every movement calculated to benefit the social and intellectual status of our community, and a Reading Room is a sure means to do this. They are organized in practical working order; they have talent enough among their members to draft a set of rules and constitution, and have the thing in working order in a twinkling. All, then, that remains to be considered is, can we raise $25 per month to support it? We hope no one will doubt for a moment that Anaheim will raise that amount readily for such a purpose. We know well enough that if the preliminary matters are settled, and the matter is put before the people in a tangible shape, there will be no need to fear the $25 per month being lacking. But there are no paper files, tables and chalks. True. But there is musical talent among our home, so wonderfully does it thrive. That alfalfa is invaluable as feed for milch cows, we need not say. Indeed, the same author avers that one acre constantly sustains three cows knee deep in green feed the year round, and that cows fed on such pastures yield from twenty-five to fifty per cent more milk, butter and cheese, than they will on any other kind of feed. The importance of this fact to dairymen cannot be over-estimated—from all of which it will be seen that our country is admirably adapted to dairying. The advantages of green feed for dairying purposes are so obvious that all that need be said is that the most succulent food is best for dairy cows, and that geen feed is the most succulent. The next conclusion our Monte friends came to was that "Herds of good cows can be obtained, or in two or three years can be raised." The same is true of our district, except that stock is more plentiful here than there. Their next conclusion is that each cow will yield, at the lowest possible rates of cheese, $20 per season, net, after paying expenses of keeping; which the farmer pays himself, or a gross profit of $50 per season. Take then a 20-acre tract, set in alfalfa, which will support three cows to the acre, or sixty cows. The gross yield will be $3,000; then deduct $1,800 for feed, which is paid to oneself, and we have nett $1,200. In other words we get $1,800 for our feed and $1,200 for our cheese. Estimate the value of 20 acres at $50 per acre...$1000 Cost of raising alfalfa; outside price...450 60 cows at $75; high price...450 Total...$5950 This sum would yield a profit of $3000 or 50 per cent per annum. This estimate is made on the basis of a farmer having his help; so if he worked himself the gain would be larger. Besides the profit above demonstrated, there remains the natural increase of the stock which would very soon amount to a handsome competency. Our Monte friends further argue that it is the inevitable consequence of the establishment of a cheese factory that the price of hay will nearly or quite double itself for home consumption. These facts are well worth the attention of farmers and capitalists alike for their mutual benefit. As the effects of the panic pass away and stringency in the money market relapses, there will be many men of means looking round for a profitable place of investment for their capital.

But there is musical talent among our church choirs, always ready to serve in a good cause, and there are declaimers and readers in the Literary Club who would, no doubt, be glad of an opportunity to distinguish themselves. Let the two unite and they can arrange a musical and intellectual treat, such as will fill the largest hall in Anaheim, and furnish all the necessary funds for furnishing and fitting up a room. We hope our literary friends will give this matter their serious consideration. They deserve credit for what they have done; let them go forward in the good cause and provide themselves and the town with a great boon, and earn for themselves the lasting gratitude of the community. SARATOGA, July 19. There was a large crowd gathered on the banks of the lake to witness the University boat race to-day. At 11:35 the start was made, Cornell leading, Columbia second and Union third. Cornell appeared to be going about thirty-six strokes. At the first mile Columbia led, with Harvard second, Cornell third. At the second mile Cornell took the lead, with a spurt, Harvard second. As they neared the stand the crowds of Cornells and Harvard cheered to the echo. It was soon given out that Cornell was first, Harvard second, Columbia third, Union fourth, Wesleyan fifth and Princeton last. The following is the official time; Cornell, 17:01; Harvard, 17:05; Columbia, 17:19; Union 17:27; Wesleyan, 17:50; Princeton, 18:01. The single-sull race was won by Francis of the Cornell; Danford second, Parnalay third and Weeks of Princeton, fourth. Francis' time, 18:42; Canford's 18:68; Parnalay's 14:21; Weeks 14:39. Considerable excitement was manifested in this page. As the effects of the panic pass away and stringency in the money market relapses, there will be many men of means looking round for a profitable place of investment for their capital. We invite the attention of such to the desirability of establishing a cheese factory in our district. We trust that the same spirit of enterprise that has made our Alden dryer an accomplished fact, may show itself again active to the end that we obtain a cheese factory also. We shall take an opportunity of getting a correct estimate of the amount of stock in our district, in order that our readers may be better able to judge of the prospects of such an undertaking. To further this object, we shall be pleased to receive communications from all who possess accurate information on the subject and also to hear the views of our thinking men in relation thereto. We have a firm abiding faith in the resources of our beautiful county, and hope to receive all possible help from our readers to aid us in developing those resources. The following dialogue occurred in the House between Cox and Townsend: Townsend—You never cast a vote against Tammany since God made you. [Loud shouts.] You are the most perfect tool of Tammany who has ever been in New York. [Laughter, uproar and great confusion.] You had to leave that chair, thank tired, at the call of Kellay, and go to St. Louis. Thank God you are out of it and can't get back. Cox—You sit down. I have got the floor. When you say that I left that chair at the back of any man, it is untrue. I was elected as a delegate from my district, and my constituents not being there, I had to get but it wasn't no man's call. [Silent of 'Times'] "Order" and great conclusion.

If any of our readers should feel annoyed at the so-called hot weather we advise them to study the weather report for the last week, which we publish in another column, and having thoroughly digested it, to then turn to the dispatches from the East for the past two or three weeks, and reflect a little on the difference between the climate of California and that of New York and the Eastern States. While it is a melancholy fact that in order to ripen the bountiful supply of cereals and fruits which abound in our beautiful country, a certain amount of sun is necessary, and that a certain amount of heat accompanies the presence of sald sun, it is also a fact that while we gather in as a result the delicious products of our soil and climate, we are spared the horrors of that dreadful affliction, sun-stroke. For weeks past men, women and children have been slain by the hundred by this grim enemy. New York and Philadelphia have been severely afflicted indeed. In the Quaker city it became necessary to organize a system of ambulances to remove the victims of sunstroke to the hospital and Morgue, so numerous had they become. In Washington we hear of Senators and Congressmen being prostrated by the score within the halls of Congress, and in New Jersey we hear of a regiment of soldiers, on parade, dropping in the ranks in such alarming numbers that the commanding officer was compelled to dismiss them. These are the horrors of the day time; but all who have resided East know that the essence of torture is reserved for the witching hour of night. When we in California are peacefully slumbering under cover of a blanket, without even a passing thought as to whether it be July or January, our Eastern friends Walters and Talks in the Agency. SANTIAGO GASON, July 16. Edd. Gazette.—You have been so slow in coming around that you had liked to miss the extracting season altogether. But I guess you have been like myself—very busy. Our bee season has been very short indeed this year, but it was good while it lasted. The season is nearly over now; that is, we will take no more good honey. Bees gather a good deal after this time from fall flowers, but the honey is of inferior quality. Hence we divide our bees now and have them strengthen up on this poor honey crop. You see, therefore, that we reverse the order of things—divide in the fall and have bees very strong for early spring work, and keep them at work through the good season without dividing or swarming. This we do by the use of the extractor in the following manner: After we have upper stories on all hives, and these all full of combs and honey, we have a fire made under our kettles in the extracting house, quite early in the morning. Our house is made two stories high and just against a side hill, so that we enter the upper story, or extracting room, from the level of the apiary. In this room we have the extractor, furnace, (one of our own make, made from large, flat stones with a pipe through the roof of the house, and contains a boiler of six gallons capacity) two barrels or small tanks, and a small barrel to hold the cappings. The room below is used as a work shop and store room. Just on the outside of the building on the south side, is the large tank which holds six hundred gallons, with a glass cover. After the water is hot in the extracting room, we are ready for the operation. We are provided with two boxes each containing 12 empty BY TELEGARPH WASHINGTON, July 16. Senator Jones made another speech on the silver question. The following is the conclusion of his remarks: It is claimed that the issue of token coins under the bills now before us will be a step toward resumption of specie payments in the East. I maintain that, on the contrary, it is a step towards suspension of specie payments in the West. The Pacific Coast States and some Territories, and to some extent also Texas, have specie currency, and have never suspended specie payments. This currency, according to the custom of the country under the law as at present construed, is of gold. In this state of affairs, Congress lately enacted a law issuing several millions of silver tokens, which were sent to these States and put in circulation, the Government receiving for them their nominal value in gold, thus making some ten or fifteen per cent by the operation and flooding those States with a large amount of subsidiary coins. After having done this, the Government, under the present bill, will turn right round and sell this same sort of subsidiary coin to the Eastern States for par in greenbacks. The Pacific States took this coin and gave gold for it, with the understanding, from the law, as it then stood, and relying upon the good faith of the Govt., that none of it would be issued except for gold; but, in violation of this faith, and after you had sold your coin for gold, you have sold this same coin in the Eastern States for green-backs, which are at twelve per cent, discount on gold. By compelling the Pacific States to pay you gold for what you are selling for green-backs, you wronged them out of six hundred thousand dollars. By now issuing fifty million more of this token coinage, you will compel them to suspend specie payments. Already your token coins are at a discount of 6 per cent. in San Francisco, and this depreciation will be aggravated by the present bill. You have in effect given that currency for their gold coins. This anomalous state of affairs has produced a peculiar market. Wholesale prices are quoted in gold and relative prices are quoted in silver. New Jersey we hear of a regiment of soldiers, on parade, dropping in the ranks in such alarming numbers that the commanding officer was compelled to dismiss them. These are the horrors of the day time; but all who have resided East know that the essence of torture is reserved for the witching hour of night. When we in California are peacefully slumbering under cover of a blanket, without even a passing thought as to whether it be July or January, our Eastern friends pass their nights in a species of purgatory of the most excruciating kind. Given the thermometer at 90 to 95, a close room in a large city, and 2,000 mosquitos to the square yard, and we have the assailants before us; and then picture one miserable human, weak and weary from the struggles of the day, armed with a towel, in a state of mind bordering on insanity, and we have the defender. The contrast is like the jug handle—all on one side—and at last the wretched human sinks into a species of lethargic stupor (while the voracious mosquitoes feast upon him) to rise in the morning feeling as if he had no particular object in life, and in a fit frame of mind to doubt the desirability of existing at all. Our Californian, on the contrary, after a sound night's rest, rises as fresh as daisy, and indeed, has nothing to remind him of the fact that it is summer until well towards noon; and by the time he is beginning to realize the fact that it is warm, the heat is gone, and beautiful, cool evening is upon him again. Ingratitude is the blackest of sins, and ungrateful Indeed is the citizen of Los Angeles county who can have the audacity to complain of climatic extremes when he is blessed with an average temperature, in the hottest season, of 68°. We warn all such that should they continue their sinful course they may have occasion hereafter to complain of heat with cause. It was with great pleasure that we heard our citizens yesterday discussing the desirability of calling a meeting to discuss the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad extension scheme. We suggest to our friends the desirability of taking action at once and for this reason: The political campaign promises to wax exceeding warm, and when it once takes hold of the public mind it will be difficult to get attention for other matters; therefore we say call a meeting forthwith and clinch the matter at once. The public stones with a pipe through the roof of the house, and contains a boiler of six gallons capacity) two barrels or small tanks, and a small barrel to hold the cappings. The room below is used as a work shop and store room. Just on the outside of the building on the south side, is the large tank which holds six hundred gallons, with a glass cover. After the water is hot in the extracting room, we are ready for the operation. We are provided with two boxes, each containing 12 empty combs. I take one of these boxes and go to a hive, open gently the top story, blow in smoke freely, the bees are frightened and most of them run below. We lift out the full combs, brush off all bees, and fill in place of these full combs the empty ones we have in our box. After exchanging thus, we take the box of full combs into the house, and exchange this one for the other box of empty combs, and while we are repeating a like operation with another hive, our assistant extracting the honey from the full combs, and by the time we enter the house with another full box, we find an empty one awaiting us. We fill one of the small tanks, which holds about 600 pounds, in about half a day. We then let this stand until the other is filled. In this time, all the impurities specks, etc., have risen to the top, and we carefully skim it off and draw off from the bottom of the tank into the large tank below. This is done by a pipe from the small tank to the large one, so that there is no extra handling of the honey. The honey is allowed to stand in the large tank exposed to the sun's rays for about one week, or until we are compelled to draw off. The thin honey, being lighter than the thick; rises to the top and is thoroughly evaporated, so that when we draw off from the bottom of the large tank into cans for market, the honey is in the best possible condition. There has been much objection to extracted honey being too thin. This is the case when drawn directly from the extractor into cans, and not allowed to evaporate, which is the practice of many. But when allowed to stand even in an open-mouth vessel it will soon be evaporated, and when exposed to the intense rays of the sun, through glass, it becomes thoroughly evaporated. From our large tank we draw the honey into the cans by means of a faucet which opens into the room below. Thus we are free from the bees. The floor of the lower room is about four feet above the level of the ground below, so that we only have to slide the cases into the wagon without lifting them. The ground below being rather under the hill, the bees don't interfere with my team. My arrangements are cent, discount on gold. By compelling the Pacific States to pay you gold for what you are selling for green-backs, you wronged them out of six hundred thousand dollars. By now issuing fifty millions more of this token coinage, you will compel them to suspend specie payments. Already your token coins are at a discount of 6 per cent. in San Francisco, and this depreciation will be aggravated by the present bill. You have in effect given that currency for their gold coins. This anomalous state of affairs has produced a peculiar market. Wholesale prices are quoted in gold and relative prices in debased silver. There can be but one ending to this, and that ending will be suspension on the Pacific Coast. The community must have small coins, and the value of these coins must be in accord with the large ones. The former cannot be repudiated because there must be a fractional currency; and there is no way of replacing the debased coins. Our banks cannot issue fractional notes, but gold will cease to be paid. This means suspension of specie payments, and the exportation of some thirty millions of gold from the country. Yet the legislation which is responsible for it, is styled, and by others complacently regarded, as a stop toward specie payments. The Conference report was adopted by the Senate without a formal vote. The Pacific Coast members of House were thus recorded on the question of adopting it: Page and Piper; Aye; Lane and Woodburn; no; Luttrell did not vote; and Wigginton was sick at home. NEW YORK, July 15. The beat has only slightly abated. Yesterday's deaths were equal to those of Monday, which were the greatest of the season. The Sun's special says that Grant is prostrated by the heat and takes a vacation at the order of his physician. The Times' Washington special, stating that the President ordered Merrill to make certain removals in the Treasury Department, is false. The Times' special says that the rebel flag was carried in the procession at Plattsburg Mo., on the 4th of July, and was afterwards affixed to the Court House flag-staff. The Custer monument project has reached $2,654. Among the large signers is Lawrence Barrett. The Pope has appointed Monsignor James O'Connor, of the diocese of Philadelphia, Vicar Apostolic of Nebraska. SANTA CRUZ, July 17. The Chinese population of this city have protested against new licenses. The law imposed a poll tax of $2.50 and a license of $15 on wash houses. They were willing to pay the poll tax, but thought the license on wash houses extortionate. The Collector gave notice that a failure to pay would be followed by a suit in Court, and to-day they concluded to pay their license without further trouble. NEW YORK, July 17. The World's Washington special says thatthe Republican candidate for Governor of Indiana has arrived here to explainthe charges made against himinthe testimony taken We recently mentioned the remarkable fact that an Illinois girl had sheared thirteen sheep in two hours. The sequel of the story is related by the Chicago Journal as follows: "What do you think of the girl?" inquired our representative of the farmer who owned the sheep that were operated upon. "Think!" echoed the old fellow, as he pointed to the pan of the fine wool sheep. "Just you look at them sheep, will ye, stranger—not an ear or a tail left t'the whale crowd, an' then ask me what I think of that 'mgal, if you can!'" The reporter viewed with wonder the multifaceted flock of mutant and agreed with the all farm that these pigs were not merely the animals for the committee of agriculture. But when allowed to stand even in an open-mouth vessel it will soon be evaporated, and when exposed to the intense rays of the sun, through glass, it becomes thoroughly evaporated. From our large tank we draw the honey into the cans by means of a funnel which opens into the room below. Thus we are free from the bees. The floor of the lower room is about four feet above the level of the ground below, so that we only have to slide the cases into the wagon without lifting them. The ground below being rather under the hill, the bees don't interfere with my team. My arrangements are not perfect yet, but I think one year more will bring me around all right. We must have hot water to heat the knife when uncapping honey. I make my own knives from an old hand-saw blade; a very thin one is preferable. I like a knife about fifteen inches long. The knife must be kept bright and sharp. When the cappings have accumulated we empty them into the sun strainer—which is a vat about 6 feet long and 24 feet wide at the top and tapering to the bottom like a water or pig trough; this is covered with glass and has a false bottom about half way down the trough, which keeps the comb from going to the bottom, but allows the honey to pass through. The sun melts the wax and the honey is drawn off. This is a great improvement on the old way of straining honey. The wax is almost pure when we take it out of this strainer, but we melt it over. We go this by putting it into a barley back and boil in large boilers. The wax comes out of the sack and raises to the top of the water; we skim off and pour into cold water. It is then cooled immediately. We then press into halls, and after running all through this, we melt the wax and mould it into oakes for market. We think of dividing our bees this week, when we will do thus: Take off the upper story, select all combs from either story which are full of capped brood, put these into an empty box, divide honey and polen equally; set a hive with the capped brood, and without any bees, on the old stand; remove the old hive, queen, bee and all to a new stand; place the other on the old stand; enough bees will mean to the old stand to protect the brood and raise a queen. If you can supply this with queen call, no much better. He could not remove all the wax and moulded brood from the old stand, as there was no space for it. The Chinese population of this city have protested against new licenses. The law imposed a poll tax of $2.50 and a license of $15 on wash houses. They were willing to pay the poll tax, but thought the license on wash houses extortionate. The C-lector gave notice that a failure to pay would be followed by a suit in Court, and to-day they concluded to pay their license without further trouble. New York, July 17. The World's Washington special says that the Republican candidate for Governor of Indiana has arrived here to explain the charges made against him in the testimony taken by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, relative to the awards made by the Venezuela Claims Commission. He will appear before the Committee to morrow, and his defense is awaited with no little interest. Unless the present conclusion is shown to be an improbable one, he will be forced to withdraw from the contest in Indiana and another candidate, to be named by the Republican State Central Committee in his place. The result of the elaborate investigation into the Navy Department will be reached this week. The greater part of the report of the House Naval Committee is already finished, and will be voted on by the Committee tomorrow or next day. It arranges the Secretary for incompetency, extravagance, dishonesty and violation of the law, and proposes, in lieu of impeachment, his severest censure. The Republican members of the Committee will dissent from the conclusion of the majority, and present a minority report. New York, July 16. Col. Pursell, the owner of the stallion Smuggler, which trotted the fastest time on record at Philadelphia yesterday, was offered one hundred thousand dollars for the animal, which he refused. A match against Goldsmith Mald is talked of. At Newburgh, on the 29th instant, John Moore became affected by the intense heat, and sunk into a deep sleep. From that time until yesterday, six days, he had neither spoken, opened his eyes, nor ate or drank anything. He died yesterday. New York, July 15th. For some time past the fifth and seventh of this city has been taken by seamen and drowned in the sea at a certain point. RELEGARPH WASHINGTON, July 16. It has made another speech question. The following explanation of his remarks: And that the issue of token bills now before us is toward resumption of debts in the East. I mainthe contrary, it is a step eminent of specie payments. The Pacific Coast States colonies, and to some examples have specie currency, have suspended specie paycurrency, according to the country under the present construed, is of gold of affairs, Congress lately issuing several millions of tons, which were sent to and put in circulation, meant receiving for them real value in gold, thus taken or fifteen per cent by land flooding those States on amount of subsidiary having done this, the under the present bill, not round and sell this subsidiary coin to the states for par in greenbacks.

The people of New Utrecht have become so incensed that finding their threat in vain, they have placed cannon in position to fire on the seaws if they persist in depaling the garbage there. As a result of this course, the nuisance has been abated. WASHINGTON, July 16. The following postal changes are announced for the Pacific Coast: Established—Four Corners, Los Angeles County, Cal., Solomon Kahn, Postmaster; Discontinued—Markineville, San Diego County, Cal.; East Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona. Postmaster appointed—Robt. J. Broughton, Cruees, Santa Barbara County, California. LONDON, July 17. The Times' special from Calcutta says that the exchange question occupies public attention to almost the entire exclusion of other topics. Whether the lowest point has been reached, whether the depression will be permanent or temporary, and whether, if any, what remedy is possible, are the main subjects of conversation among all classes. Silver is now a fraction above one shilling sixpence per rupee, so that, in remitting small sums, there is about 35 per cent loss. The Government loses will be nearly equal to the gain from the opium revenue. Except the great Sepoy mutiny, this is the worst crisis in Anglo-Indian history, and there are few instances anywhere of a calamity so crushing and so general. If the depression continues it will probably paralyze the import trade. The problem before the Indian Government calls for anxious consideration, and if the depression is to be permanent it will resolve itself into the question of how to stave off national bankruptcy. LONDON, July 18. The Mark Lane Express says that the wheat promises fairly both for quantity and quality. The plant is now strong and healthy, and probably the yield will be something over 12,000,000 quarters. Barley continues to look well, and the condition of all other creals is satisfactory. Our market has been affected by the war in Turkey, and the non-intervention by other powers appearing probable. was these State Governments who had encouraged these disasters and those manders by their inefficiency; their inability and their cowardice. Arkansas was an illustration during the past few years of the advantages of a good government under a fair and intelligent time. Governor Garland. In conclusion, he declared that the occurrence at Hamburg was local and sporadic in its nature, but that it would disappear under good government. He declared that there was no community in the South which had not been struck with horror at such an occurrence. He deemed it a wonder that a government which allowed such lawlessness to go on in the land did not go to pieces. He declared that the army had never produced a good effect in such cases. The troops always got there after the commissioner and military power was ineffective, cumbersome and slow and almost useless, and in spite of the good faith of the army officers, it had been turned into an engine of political oppression. Governor Chamberlin ought once set about measures, swift and hard to bring to justice those who shot these prisoners in cold blood, and if he did that, he should receive his (Lamar's) support and prayers. WASHINGTON, July 18. A bill was reported from the Ways and Means Committee to-day and recommitted, authorizing grape distillers to keep their products for three years without payment of tax; provided they give bond, with personal securities; that the tax shall be first, a lien upon their distilleries and vineyards until it is paid. The bill also proposes to authorize the establishment of special bonded warehouses for brandy at ports of entry; and to allow fruit brandy to be exported in bond for foreign consumption without payment of the tax.

Washington special Republican candidate of Indiana has arrived in the charges made The testimony taken The Mark Lane Express says that the wheat promises fairly, both for quantity and quality. The plant is now strong and healthy, and probably the yield will be something over 12-000,000 quarters. Barley continues to look well, and the condition of all other creams is satisfactory. Our market has been affected by the war in Turkey, and the non-intervention by other powers appearing probable, trade has been much depressed, owing to the numerous supplies arriving. Nearly 175,000 quarters of foreign wheat have arrived during the past fortnight, and prices have given way two shillings per quarter, and unless the weather or political influences check the decline, it appears unlikely that wheat can maintain even the present depressed values. There is a large crop in India this year, and the favor which this class of grain has found with millers has caused the consumption of Russian and American to fall off much more than might be imagined. It is not unlikely that in future the range of prices will be lower than ever. Belgrade, July 17. Letters from Alexaitz state that the Circassians have burned two Bulgarian villages near Bajling. They have been murdering men and cutting children to pieces. An official report states that during the Servian attack on the Noon Varosch, the Turks placed Christian women and children in the intrenchments, and many were killed by the Servian fire. Ragusa, July 17. News from Selavonio sources announce that the Servians, after a desperate engagement, were defeated at Lemborg, on the 14th. The Turks captured the Servian cannon and a large booty, as well as three boats on the Drina, by means of which the Servians had intended to invade the Turkish territory. The boats were destroyed. The Servians lost 500 men and the Turks 300. New York, July 18. The intense heat continues, with great fatality. The extreme heat of yesterday was followed by thunder storms in the evening. The Times, editorially, says that for the last week there have died every day in New York above one hundred babies under one year old. This is a monstrous and inexcusable sacrifice of infant life, and, after all allowances has been made on the score of climate, it is a disgrace to our civilization. Ninety-nine per cent. of this mortality occurred in tenement houses. At a meeting of the New York Board of Health yesterday, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved That fifty physicians be appointed for one week, or longer if necessary, as assistant survey-inspectors, to visit tenement houses and care for cases of cholera infantum and other diseases arising from the extreme hot weather and which are not under medical attendance. The Custer monument fund has proposes to authorize the establishment of special bonded warehouses for brandy at ports of entry, and to allow fruit brandy to be exported in hand for foreign consumption without payment of the tax.

Wheeler accepts the Republican nomination in a letter, from which the following are extracts: To the summary of doctrine endorsed by the Convention I give my very cordial assent. The Republican party has intrenched in the organic law of our land, the doctrine that liberty is the supreme, unchangeable law on every foot of American soil. It is the mission of that party to give full effect to this principle by securing to every American citizen complete liberty and equality, in the exercise of all civil, political and public rights. This will be accomplished only when citizens without regard to color shall wear its panoply of citizenship as fully and as securely in the cana-brakes of Louisiana as on the banks of the St. Lawrence. Upon the question of our southern relations my views were recently expressed as a member of the Committee of the United States House of Representatives upon Southern Affairs. Just obligations to public creditors, credited when the Government was in the throes of threatening dissolution as an indispensable condition of its salvation, guaranteed by the lives of its brave defenders, are to be kept with religious faith, as are all pledges subsidiary thereto and confirmatory thereof. In my judgment, the plague of Congress of January 14, 1875, for the resumption of the notes of the United States in gold coin, is the plighted faith of the nation. Honesty and justice to the people whose permanent welfare and prosperity are dependent upon money as a basis for their pecuniary transactions, demands the scrupulous observance of this pledge; and it is the duty of Congress to supplement it with such legislation as shall be necessary. The common schools of the land should be preserved in all their vigor while in accordance with the spirit of the Constitution. All their endowments should be secured by every possible and proper guarantee against every form of sectarian influence or control. There should be the strictest community in the expenditure of the Government consistent with its effective ad- NEW YORK, July 17.

The Custer monument fund has reached $30,005. INDIANAPOLIS, July 18. The News this afternoon publishes an interview with Governor Hendricks, in which he denies the statement published in the New York Commercial Advertiser, that a difference of opinion had arisen between himself and Governor Tilden. WASHINGTON, July 19. The question about the late mutiny at Hamburg was before the House yesterday. After a spirited discussion between Cox, Smalls and Townsend, Garfield wanted to know if the Hamburg case was a sporadic or a sympathetic one. Lamar spoke of the Hamburg affair as disgraceful and terrible, but denied that its circumstances were a legitimate topic for debate in the House. There were one or two facts which gleamed out indisputably. One of these was that a body of white men had put to death without authority of law, a number of colored citizens, while prisoners, not prisoners in a legal sense, insmuch as these whites men had no right to deprive them of their personal liberty. He wished to say here that no excuse or pollution could possibly be found for that outrage and harborman. [Applause on the Republican side.] The South had its lawless class as North had, with this difference, that in the South they planned out in different localities, and were confined to short periods of time, while here in the North some counties were sometimes held in terror for months, and the State authorities defied. In the Southern States, where disorders occurred, there were governments of a peculiar character and type — they were called Republican, but it was a meridian Republican, which had no immediate effect upon money as a basis for their pecuniary transactions; demands the scrupulous observance of this pledge; and it is the duty of Congress to supplement it with such legislation as shall be necessary. The common schools of the land should be preserved in all their vigor, while in accordance with the spirit of the Constitution. All their endowments should be secured by every possible and proper guarantee against every form of sectarian influence or control. There should be the strictest economy in the expenditures of the Government consistent with its effective administration, and unnecessary offices should be abolished. Office should be conferred only on the basis of high character and practical fitness, and should be administered only as public trusts and not for private advantage. The foregoing are chief among the cardinal principles of the Republican party, and to carry them into full practical effect is the work it now has on hand. To the completion of its great mission, we address ourselves in hope and confidence, cheered and stimulated by recollection of its past achievements, remembering that: under God, it is to that party that we are indebted, in this Centennial year of our existence, for our preserved unbroken union; for the fact that there is no master or slave throughout our broad domains, and that the amalgamated millions look upon our republic as the symbol of the fulfilled declaration "that all men are created free and equal," and as a guarantee of their own equality, under the law, with the most highly favored citizens of the land. To the intelligence and conscience of all who require good government, with good money and universal prosperity, the Republican party, not unmindful of the imperfections and shortcomings of human organizations, yet with the honest purpose of its mission promptly to nurture all arms and punish all offenders against the laws of the country, confidently submits its claims for the continual support of the American people.
