There are said (says the Memphis Eagle ITO
be 2,4oo know nothAgs in Tippah county,
Mississippi. The voting population of that
county numbers, we believe, 1900. Some
time ago democratic convention was held in
Ripley. to nominate candidates for county Of
icers, but somehow or other, no nominations
were made. Why they did not nominate is
question, the most rational solution Of which
is, that a majority of the members Of the con
yention were know nothIngs.

GREAT BR1rA1N.-We learn from the English
papers that the returns of the quarter revenue
of Great Britain, ending on the 31st of March,
show the following surplus on each item over
the corresponding article, and period of last year
viz: Increase on customs upwards of f221 900,
excise, f211,0OO, stamps, f55,0OO, taxes,
t96,OoO, property tax, etc, 1878, 900. post
office, $4,000, crown lands, 100-showing
total increase of nearly four and a half million
pounds sterling. On various other articles
there was falling off of about forty four thou
sand pounds. The returns of the board of
trade for the month ending April 5th, have been
published, and show falling off in exports of
about two and half million pounds sterling,
as compared with the corresponding month of
last year. Upon examining into the chief items
of these exports we find that the falling-of is
general, except in wool and in malt liquors In
machinery and Goals the decrease is less marked
The chief falling off is in cotton yarn, metals, |
wooden yarn, and manufactures. The over
stocked state of the Australian markets will |
account for many of these reductions.

Erie Matters.

From an eye witness we learn that the dep
relations at Erie by few boys and drunken
men, are generally discountenanced by the cit
liens of Erie The rioters of last winter did
not show themselves atall. The Harbor Creek
affair is more serious matter.
AS the Road Commissioners acted in per-
son, and the track removed by their authority,
the railroad people did not interfere as they
hourly expected an injunction from the SUI
preme Court sitting at Philadelphia, but the
messenger did not arrive in time. The track
will be speedily put down under the direction
of the Court, and business resumed in few
days. Passengers are detained but few
moments in making the portages, as there is
locomotive and train on the track between the
brakes, which was not the case last winter. -
