jumped up as If going in for q free fight,
but he thought better Of it when Lewis
clenehed his fists and went towards him.
Lewis worked up the blacks until in
frenzy they yelled at Beaumont like
demons. AS there were several hundreds
Of them present, the confusion may be
imagined. To create q diversion, Beau
mOutis clerk, Hazlitt, who win be reeOl-
leeted as the Capt. Grey, who in military
times was appointed 70 collect assess
sments from unfortunate females, and
two or three other BeaumOuters called
out for three grOans for Gen. Smith who
had gone back to Nashville. THIS was q
new text for Lewis. he de-
nouneed It as eOWardly when
Smith wasn't there to speak
Tor himself. The blacks became so eX-
cited that some of them wanted 10 kick
the white BeaumOnters out Of the house.
Then there were Misses, groans and
ba-a-as, and jeers, and shouts, and
hs-hs-has. Bedlam has seldom Wit

The Beaumonters and their chief got
terribly scared and made up their minds
not to attend another meeting soon.
After this the nomination of DR.. Beeeher

DR.. White and Harry Lee are said to

PROJECTION TO NArURALIZED CITIZEN
ABROAD.

The House Committee on Foreign
Affairs is giving earnest attention TO the
question Of protection due naturalized
citizens travelling abroad from our Gov
ernment. Besides the proposition Of Mr..
Cullom, of Illinois, Judge Orth, OF In
diana, has submitted the draft Of q bill
directly to his committee which is ss
follows:
l. That cur Government does not rec.
ognize the doctrine Of natural allegiance
by which European nations claim their
citizens cannot absOlve themselves from
their first allegiance.
2 That the naturalization of q foreign
born person in pursuance OF our laws
e0nfers upon him all the rights aud priv
ileges of native born citizens, except as
provided in the Constitution in the case
of President and Vice President.
3. That it is the duty Of the United
States to protect alike all her citizens,
whether native born or nsturslized.
Members Of the Committee are conf
dent that they will be able to agree upon
8 bill which shall take strong and un-
nnistakable ground against the whole
European position on the subject.
The proposition Ia the Canadian Par
lament 70 extend the new dominion TO
the Pacific, excites interest among men,
bers OF Congress from the Northwest
and Pacific States, and it il understood
that q reconsideration of Senator Ram
Eey's proposition for a new and liberal
reciprocity treaty with Canada in ex-
change for a cessiOn to the United States
Of the Selkirk, Saskatchewan and Co
lumb bisn Districts of British America,
will receive considerable support. The
consideration of this novel aud important
proposition was postponed under the
rules, but will be resumed at an early
day.

The Radicals of the Second Grand judicial
Division Of this State held convention at
Springfield on Tuesday. Judge Charles En-
erson, Of Macon county, was nominated by &C
clamation for supreme judge, in opposition to
Judge Walker, who is candidate for re-elec-
ton, and Col. John NJ. Snyder was nominated
over Teel and Tyndale for clerk Of the supreme
court, in opposition to Mr.. Turney, the pre-
sent gentemanly and efficient clerk-who is
also candidate for reelection. The conven.
ton was flat affair, large number of coun-
ties in the division having no representation

Dor to another and reserve the other eight Of
his waking hours to himself, to be correct, let
the workingmen aim at this point first. 1t
took fifteen years fully to inaugurate the ten
hour system-the eight hour system cannot
hope to succeed in month or year.
One great point is already attained in the
Legislative enactment that eight hours are a
legal days work. The government of the
United States, in its leading workshops, have
recognized the same principle; our city au-
thorities, also, have fallen into line. The first
point attained, the question of wages will
take care of itself That is a matter subject to
the "higher law" Of supply and demand. Let
the workingmen have no fear on that score.
The thing they have now set out for is eight
hours-one thing at time is the safe rule.
But wemust reserve the subject for another

The decision in the Georgia and Mississip-
pi injunction cases. which have just been ar
gued at Washington, is to be announced on
Monday. The court has decided not to rem.
der written opinion, at this term of the
court, but to defer it until the next term.
This was the case with the famous Bowles and
Milligan suit, the written opinion being de.
layed for several months after the decision
was given. The general opinion is that the
decision will be adverse to granting the in
junction prayed, on purely technical grounds,
though the court will not hesitate in gen.
eral terms to concede the unconstitutional
ity of tee Reconstruction acts of Congress.

With aour at SIC to &18 barrel, wheat at $S
bushel and corn at Clio, the question is be.
coming an exceedingly interesting one to consu.
mers, At least, what are the prospects Of the
coming harvest? Will these famine prices con.
tinue another year?
We have made some inquiries of farmers in
this vicinity, from whom we learn that an un-
usually large breadth Of wheat has been put in
this season, and that, although the spring is re.
markedly cold, backward, and disagreeable, the
wheat prospect is thus far favorable-that the
weather, indeed, is admirably adapted to it, and
by no means injurious however it may affect
other crops. Indeed, the tone of our farmers,
whom We expected to find gloomy and discour-
aged, is upon the whole rather hopeful.
In reference to the grain prospect in other
portions of the State, we make a quotation from
the Springfield Register, which is about the tone
OF all the papers Of the State south of US:
Wheat, unless some untoward mischance hap
pens, never promised larger yield In some
portions OF northern and central illinois but lit
tie winter wheat has been sown; this looks well;
q good breadth of land has been put to spring
wheat, and in many places its appearance, to use
asignifcant phrase, is sorry, yet it may come
out In Egypt proper, and in the southern Dor.
tons Of central Illinois, there is gratifying
prospect larger number of acres was sown
than ever before, and sweet fields arrayed in
living green gladden. the eye of the husband.

If We, like the "canny Scot" delighted in oat-
meal, we should this season be disappointed.
Late rains and backward spring have prevented
large sowings of oats The crop will, we fear,
be comparatively light. Grass will yield album.
dainty. A strenuous effort is being made every
where to plant heavily in corn. Farmers every
where are breaking up large tracts, and should
the season be propitious, of which at present no
prediction can as yet be made, corn will be
abundant and cheap.
with the present appearance of an unpreced-
ented wheat harvest, it is difficult to see WHY
Hour should be so extranagantly high There is
surely sufficient material on hand to supply de-.

foreign call in consequence of European war; is
too remote to affect the present market, and we
see no reason for the enormously steep prices ex-
