Mr.. Howard reported favorably to the Sen
ate, yesterday, the bill for the dscOntinuance
of the Freedmen's Bureau. An attempt was
made to take up the Colorado bill, but it failed
and the Civil Appropriation bill consumed the
remainder of the session. In the evening the
bill establishing rules and articles for the
government of the armies was taken up and
considered until the hour of adjournment
After dsposing of some miscellaneous busi
ness, the House passed, by vote of 81 to 53,
resolutions of Mr. Cobb, instructing the Com
mittee on Ways and Means to prepare a bill
taxing interest on Government bonds. The
River and HarbOr Appropriation bill was then
taken up, and many items disposed of.

With another week of uncommonly fine June
weather. corn and other farm products are
growing rapidly. Still, clay soils are far from
having dried out so as to pulverize. In many
gardens some kinds of seeds have only been
planted within few days. Potatoes have rot
ted extensively. and replanting is going on even
now. Wherever land has been drained, the ad-
vantages are so apparent that the result of this
uncommonly wet Spring will be the buying Of
large quantities of tile. Whoever can should
make it point by this means to fit his ground
for withstandng the extreme Of wet and dry
weather In the West, and through the Ter
xitories to the Pacific shore, farmers are highly
encouraged. In the South the prospects are
favorable for full crops, while greater variety
of productions will be harvested than ever be-
fore grown upon that soil. From England and
the Continent we have cheering accounts; and.
on the whole, we may safely predict that the
civilized world will have full supply of bread
stuffs. OF course, there are sections whence
come adverse reports. but these are so linz
tied in extent they can detract but little from

Short dashes for twO-year Olds offer no excite

an injury rather than benefit to the breed
Their only tendencies are to fill the country
with worthless and weedy horses. and to give
over the turf entirely to the betting-ring and
the genteel swindlers. They are run for bet

has done a great deal of mischief. Of course,
while these baby-races occupy nearly all the
time of the meeting, the most Objectionable
kinds of gambling on the result will flourish
in full full vigOr, notwithstanding the efforts
of the Club to suppress them. IL the betting

attraction must be offered to others than bet

we are bound to add, two or three races of a
superior character this week, including a two
mile heat race on Wednesday, and the National
race, three-mile heats, on Thursday; but, if we
are to keep up our present system of running

horses left with stamina enough for this kind

RAvAGEs OF THE CANADA FIRES
The loss caused by the recent fires in
the Canadian forests is computed at
several millions of dollars. AT Bis
sets Creek, about $50 miles above
Ottawa River, large numbering
depot, comprising. fifteen or sixteen
buildings, has been completely de-
stroyed, with an immense stock of
provisions, everything being con-
sumed. On the Gatineau, too, the
destruction has been most extensive,
the townships of Lowe and Hincks,
and some others, having been almost
overrun with the devouring element.
Similar deyastations are reported on
the North bank of the Upper Otta-
wa, and also at several places through
out the. Province of Quebec. Ex-
tensive fires are raging, also, in the

REPORTED DIFFICULTY In UNION.
John Bates and five other colored
men arrived yesterday from Union,
to ask military protection against the
whites. Bates, who is the same man
with whom the special officer sent by
Gov. Scott, on the occasion of the
late disturbance in Union, conferred,
had been in Columbia to consult
with members of the Legislature,
and returned to Union on Wednes-
day. At Santuc station, where Bates
and his friends got off, they were met
by large party of negroes, who
were waiting to hear their report.
A parley ensued, when, as they de-
clare, thirty or forty armed white men
came up and talked politics. When
the negroes left, the white men pur-
sued, keeping up a continuous firing
for some time, as the story goes.
Bates asserts that several negroes
were killed; but it is generally
Thought that the only damage was the
slight wounding of three or four.
After o conference with the Cover.
nor, Col. Bumford, Post Commander,
decided to send an officer to Union,,
this morning, in company with Bates,
to investigate the matter.
It is understood that the Governor
will issue circular in q day or two,
saying that he has been informed that
there are organizations of illegal
bodies of armed men, who are intro.
duoing arms into the State; ID call
ing on all good citizens to refrain
from disorder, saying that all the
power of the Executive will be used
in preserving the peace.

MOSES DOES SOME GROUND AND
LOFTY TUMBLING.- "A correspondent
informs us that at the Republican
caucus, held in Columbia, on Satur-
day night, for the purpose of nomi-
mating Circuit Judges, j. J. Wright
the colored Senator from Beaufort,
was nominated by Randolph, colored.
The nomination was seconded in n
set speech by Speaker F. j. Moses,
who said that the time had come
when the colored man should hold
office; that he was prepared for the
issue, and ready at all times to make
it; and that if such platform would
cause the defeat of Grant and Colfax,
he for one was ready to meet defeat.
This caused some surprise, as when
at the beginning of the session
Whipper (colored) nominated Elliott
(colored) for Speaker, Moses violent
ly opposed the nomination, and said
that such measures would cost the
party half n million votes. The diff
ference is that Moses, after his cleo
ton as speaker, ran off to Charleston
to avoid voting on the social equality
bill; and then, to curry-favor, cries
out in secret caucus for Office for the
black man, while Whipper was open
and above board, and declared in
open session that the negroes ought
to have Office, because they had the
majority and the greater intelligence.
1t is said that Moses wants to go to
Congress, because greenbacks are
better than bills receivable.

A white carpet-bagger, whose name
has been published in the Phenit,
for several weeks, among the colored
members of the so-called Legislature,
admitted, yesterday, that the reason
why he had never made the correc-

the company, and that his friends
abroad would not recognize him.
