all our farmers who were then here
know that the prices did not average
more than onc-tllrd to one half what
they were October lst this year. But

We hear much at the present time
about hard times" and the reason
given for them IS that farm produce
brings SO small a price. We were
looking over The files OF the Republi-
can OF Il few years ago, and noticed the
market reports, and were interested in
comparing the prices then prevailing
when nothing was heard of hard times,
and the prices now, when times are so
hard We give the prices tor four

1kEAUAN0 TO ONE SLIDE
The Shoe and Leather Reporter
attributes the cause of persons
treading on one side of the
foot, to the injudicious practice
of parents encouraging their
children to walk too early, or
to stand and walk for too long
% time when they are making
their first attempts at balanc-
ing and locomotion in infancy.
1t is, at first, an effort to relieve
the WEAKNESS occasioned by a
continued strain on certain
muscles of the foot. The bones,
ligatures, and muscles being,
at this time, very soft and
yielding. it is plain that a de-
formity of the foot is likely to
result from this temporary I'M
natural position, which no SUBJ
sequent treatment can ever en-
tirely correct. Bow legs, knock
ed-knees, and one-sided-feet
are among the legitimate fruits
Of too early teaching the art of
walking; to which we may add
bumped heads, and studded
toes, by way of variety. All
this is usually done to please
grandma, or to convince some
near neighbor that our baby is
o little smarter and more for
ward than the common run OF
babies. The child, however, to
compensate for this pleasure
afforded to admiring parents,
suffers all its life the mortifca-
ton of having deformed feet,
an ungraceful carriage, crook
ed limbs, and not unfrequently
o curved spine. Nature deter
mines the period at which chill.
drea can walk with safety to
their present and future well
fare; and, Dame Nature is much
less liable to be mistaken in
matters pertaining to the care
of children than modern nurses
are.-[ Exchange paper.

GRANT IND THE SOUTH.
General Butler, tho President and tn
Southern States.
A Washington telegram to the Baltimore

Washington telegram to the Baltimore
Sun says:
In consequence Of the absence Of the Presi-
dent there was no Cabinet meeting to-day. It
has been suggested in certain journals that
when the Cabinet again convenes the Butler
proposition, which is substantially to declare
martial Law in the Southern States, will be con-
sidered. From one of the members OF the
Cabinet it is learned that there is no founda-
ton for the above quoted statement. 1t is
true, as telegraphed hence, that General Butler
in an interview he had with General Grant last
Saturday. The President heard the sugges-
tions respectfully, but did not indicate what,
il any. opinion he had formed on the subject.
As General Grant now very rarely acts upon
his OVID motion IN important measures, but is
governed generally by the decision Of his Csbi-
net council, there is no probability that he will
take any further notice OF General Buffers
propositions, for the reason that every MEM
ber Of the administration very well knows that
the Executive has no authority in the matter
Of local disturbances in States until called upon
by the state authorities for Federal assistance,
in the mode plainly indicated in the constitu-
ton. Nd such constitutional steps have been
taken by any State officers, and no such course
is expected now, as it has become well estab-
lished that no extraordinary resistancsof civil
authorities exists, nor have recently taken
place in any OF the States Of the Union.
HGeneral Buffers proposition, coming from
him, does not surprise those who understand
guilty Of more bold legal heresies than any
public man who processes to be lawyer, and
no good lawyer here would be willing to risk
his reputation on an endorsement Of General
Buffers legal opinion, where matters Of politi-
ca! interest intervene.

TIE RAILROAD DIFFICULTY;
From the Augusta Consttutionalist

From the Augusta Consttutional'st
The presence in our city yesterday Of Presi-
dent Magrath. Of the South Carolina Railroad
Company, with committee Of directors from
Charleston, gave rise to . variety of rumors
on the vexed subject OF the railroad c0mpa-
MES, and the likelihood OF an amicable adjust
ment.
From all we can gather on anything like au-
thority, it seems that the basis Of q settlement
proposed last week, and thought to be accept
able to parties in interest in this city, which
compromised the whole litigation by the pay
ment OF $100 600 in Columbia and Augusta
Railroad Company. has not been further acted
upon by the City Council. and consequently no
reply made to that proposal. Instead OF which
g formal offer has been made by Council to
purchase certain amount of stock in the Ma
con Road from the South Carohns Railroad
Company at its cost, payable In bonds OF Au-
gusta and Columbia Railroad Company at par.
by which purchase 1t was expected that the
South Carolina Railroad would forego all claims
and privileges, also allow the free use Of lts
bridge, and several miles Of track, until the
LIST January, 1870, to the Columbia Road.
Since writing the above, We have the best
authority for saying that yesterday afternoon
President Magrath authorized q proposal to
the City Council Of Augusta, which, Il accept.
ed, must practically end the controversy. 1t
ia SAID To be direct off-hand offsr that the
South Carolina Railroad Company will waive
all claims against the city, growing out OF the
contract made in 1850 with Council (Which in
wolves the amount Of principal and interest in
hs s|sSa SafOH Ss to have against the
South Carolina Railroad, and that company to
