GENERALITIES.
An Astonishing Discovery.

The Charleston NeloS is astonished to discover
that under debasng negro rule South Carolipa
Will this year yield products worth $50, 600, 600.
or an average of $7469 per head in a population
of $4,000; that the twelve cotton States Twill
show more true prosperity than any other sec
ton of the world" that the cotton crop will pro-
badly amount to 100000 bales; that the average
value of all the crops will amount to .64 per
head of population, and-last but not least cX-
traOrdnary-that 'there are now no Jess than
200, eco whites cultivating cotton with their own
hands, Clearly, this 'debasing negro rule is
Il irightful thing!
Desfitution In Imdin.
The destituton in Bundelcund, India, is still
very gricyCus In Rewah nine thousand per-
sons are kept alive by public charity, and in the
nGghboring States of Magode and SOhawu
there is equal distress. The chiefs of the two
States frst-namcd are most liberal in their con-
trihutions; the last is under British management
and its resources are taxed to the utmost In
Malwa scarcely drop of rain has fallen. Raj
rOOtana draught-cattle are so few; owing to the
absence of fodder, that the salt which is usually
transported on bullOclls from the Sambhur Lake
in TcypOu, to the marts of Central India, goes
by way of Agra and thence by train to Jubbul-
pore instead.
Lord and Lady Byron.
OF the many letters and communications called
ont by the publication of Mrs. Stoves True
Story, the latest is card signed III. L., aud
published in the Boston Daily AdcertiSer. The
author says:-
Mrs. Stowe may have fallen into error as to dates
trust she has, and that, the Nation asserts Lady
Byron will be acquitted of any knowledge of her
husbands real character until the moment of sepa-
ration. Seventeen years ago heard this fearful
story OF incest from an Englishman of the very
highest character, mental and moral. He repeated
to me the facts communicated to him by DR.. Lush
ngton, and within this year his narrative has been
confirmed by an EngShwOman who received her
information from Trelawney. Byrons cOmrade. The
the proofs rom Hose to- Whom thew Saye been n
trusted. One of them will be Byron's own confess
sion. IL. L."
Wild Boy In Iowa.
Considerable excitement exists in East Daven-
port and Gilbert Town, in consequence of a wild
boy who has been seen by several veracious
individuals prowlng about the woods at the
back of Judge Grants farm and on the rivers
bank and islands. About week ago a man re-
turning from shooting excursion saw what he
ut first took for some wild animal crouching bv
the bank of the river 1t suddenly plunged in
and emerged with fish, which it devoured
Tavenously. Getting closer to it he saw that il
was boy, apparently about fifteen or sixteen
entirely without clothes, and covered with light
sandy hair OF silky appearance, He plainly
saw the face, and describes il rs revotingly ugly
and brutal in its aspect. He attempted to ap-
proach II, but the creature became alarmed and,
taking to the water, swan to a neighboring
island and hid in the sedges On returning
home he gave information and a close lookout
has been kept. The creature, whatever it may
be, has been seen twice since, and this wild boy
OF the woods will doubtless be shortly captured.
More Democratic Testimony.
The New York Citizen, speaking of the sys-
TEN of repeating" by which Hoffman was
elected Governor last fall, says:-
"Repeatng can be carried on even where there is
no false registry or, to statet more accurately e-
gal ballots can thus be deposited in place Of legal
ones. Towards the close Of election day it will be
found that q large number OF persons who are duly
registered have not voted. The names of these are
copied OIL the list and passed out to the repeaers,
who then assume new individuality. and vote in
the character Of the missing citizens If the true
parties turn up afterwards they denied the right
Of suffrage, because their names have been fraudu-
lenuy usurped; but this exposure rarely occurs.
