LoNpoN, August, ia. jl the jonr-
nails coniInent on Stevens death.
The Tines, ,Safter recounting Stevens
prominent connection with, the re-
cent impeachment project and his
views relative to the payment Of Che
5,20 bonds, concludes: aThe death
of Thaddeus Stevens is not "a public
loss. sHis impeachment policy was
of iincalculable injury to his political
party, and the, financial dishonesty
which he encouraged, dies with him.
He was a fanatioal, bitter and self!
, willed man, but mean or deceitftll.
He the last of the leading Americans
whoa had the courage to. rise above
political partizanship." The Morn
ing Telegraph has the following :
Stevens was neither good, wise nor
generous, but in his time did signal
service, and with all his faults, he
merits the famous phrase, That was
q mani" The Daily Ne,os concludes:
"The death of Stevens leaves no i'm
portant place untitled, either in the
lead of his party, or in the councils
of the nation"

GENERAL HowARD's SOUTHERN
Tour. Gen. Howard, who is osten-
sibly on tour of inspection, to look
into and determine the mode and
manner of closing up the Freedmen's
Bureau, was specially induced to
inquire into the report that rations
were still being issued to idle, vaga-
bond negroes. The charge is made
to the Government here. that in enc
county in Florida, registering 2, 700
voters, the bureau agent has issued
this year 35, ZOO rations. The state
ment sent up here says as long as
the Government will support these
negroes in idleness, there is no hope
OF their making any effort to support
themselves. How long will the
Northel people, the laboring classes,
be willing to pay taxes to support
free negroes in absolute ;dlsness.
even though by this means their
votes may be secured to carpet.bag

WHAT INDUSTRY WILL Do.-The
Macon Journal and Messenger says
''there is seventeen year old boy
living In a county below Macon, who
has twenty-one acres planted in cot
ton. He hired one man early in the
spring. prepared the land, bought
about S1UO worth of guano and put
upon it. After getting it planted, he
started to school, which he has reeu-
larly attended during the summer,
with the exception of about two
weeks, which his crop required. He
works an hour or two every morning,
in the afternoon and every Saturday.
His cotton is looking very fine, and
he expects to get ut least fifteen bales
off the twenty-one acres. Estimating
each bale at 500 pounds, and that he
will get twenty-five cents per pound,
the gross receipt will be 81 ,875. His
entire expense, including the guano,
will not be over $5OO-which will
leave 81 1873 rs the net earnings of
this school-boy. Give him the bene-
fit of every doubt, and he will surely
make $1,000 clear. We commend
this to young men mourning over
their fate, complaining that they can
get nothing to do, and can make no
money"

WITHDRAwAL.-The New York World
asserts that the proposition is serious
~ entertained among the Republican
Nationa! Committee to have their
National Convention re-assemble, re-
celve Grants resignation, which he
stands ready to give in, and nomi-
nate q new candidate for the Pre-
sldenoy. The reason given is, that
Grant has already shown his entire
unavailability, and possesses no points
on which the party can rally even in
respectable minority in this can
"ass. The Convention, be it remem-
bered, did not adjourn without day,
but adjourned subject to the call OF

The CRoPs.-The crops in this
District are excellent-better than
they have been at any time since the
war-especially the corn crop. The
farmers are jubilanf; some say that
they will make enough to last them
two years. We are safe from the
want of bread for one year at least.
The recent rains have worked won
ders, and, in addition to the seasons,
the laborers have done their part bet
ter than usual. The cotton crops
look well and bid fair to supply the
planters with an ample wherewith for
greenbacks to liquidate the liens OF
the present year, or to purchase sup
plies for the next. Fruits, &C., are

escort, left for Lancaster at 10 O'Clock
this morning. ''..'
The Secretary of the Interior has
decided favorably to the McGarra-
ham, and adversely to the New Idria
quicksilver company. This is q hard
blow on Senators Stewart, Connees,
and Nye, who had been active in
the New Idria interest. The local land
officers in California have been in.
strueted, to hold the McGarraham
lands out of market until further ac-
ton of Congress. ns.i-s

A company of Butler Zouaves,
marching to relieve the guard over
Stevens, fired & volley down Twenty
first street, in response to @ stone
hurled at them. A colored waiter,
standing in the door of residence,
was shot through the thigh. The
-h.ts'''eess s says that when they reached
the capitol, some disagreement arose
between themselves, and they had q
regular free fight.
The Star, after speaking of the
firing and its results, says a large
crowd Immediately gathered, and,
for time, there was every prospect
of o serious disturbance; but the
police on duty, as we'll as the reserve
appearing in force promptly, by
surrounding the zouaves, checked
further proceedings, and when order
was restored, allowed them to pro-
ceed.
