WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Judge Lewis
Dent, in reply to Messrs. E. j. Dufford
and others in Mississippi, says he will &C.
cept the nomination for Governor Of
Mississippi if rendered him By the Ma
tional Union Republican party of that
State. He says that it is his earnest
wish and desire to see the Southern States
restored with constitutions and laws that
will effectaaly secure civil and political
rights to all persons.
Rev. James Lynch, negro minister, OF
Mississippi, had a cordial interview with
Grant He said all classes were heartily
responding to Grants four words: Let
us have peace" Grant expressed wish
to have the Fifteenth Amendment rat
fled by Mississippi.
Nothing has occurred here to show that
Grant will interfere in the ensuing cleo
ton in Mississippi, but be has expressed
his determination that there shall be a
fair one. The district commander will
accordingly appoint in each county Of
the State Board of Registration, com
posed of one Radical, one Conservative
Republican, and one army officer.
President Grant, accompanied by
General Partee, left Washington tonight
on his return to Long Branch.
Official information is received that the
through mails for the North and East,
which left New Orleans on Monday last,
together with the mails sent from points
between New Orleans and Clarksville,
Tennessee, were burned in the Memphis
and Louisville railroad disaster.
The recent statement that Commits
sioner Delano hss secretly given orders
to stop the distillation of spirits ia New
York until further orders, is pronounced
untrue at the Revenue Bureau. It is be-
lieved that the recen, activity Of officers
in New York in ferreting out frauds led

LIVERPOOL, July 3O.-The Cotton Sup
ply Association has adopted resolutions
looking to the speedy development of
railroads in India, in order to facilitate
expectation of cotton from that country.
This course is taken in consequence Of
the insuficiency of the supply from the
United States. The stock of American
cotton is not large enough to keep the
mills Of Lancaster fully employed.

seen above, we are situated at point
nearly central. We can send our freights
down the Mississippi via ST. Louis, or by
way of Chicago to New York. We can
then send our produce to the seaboard,
southwark BY way of New Orleans or
by way of Chicago; or we can ship north
ward to Lake Superior. thence to Butfa-
10; or eastward by the Green Bay road
and West Wisconsia railway. or west
ward by the Northern Pacific r. r. to
the Pacific coast. With these lines in
operation the people of the St. Croix
Valley will be able to secure the highest
market price for its exports by the facili-
ty and ease of shipping and the low rates
they can secure by the competition of so
many distinct rontes. There are few re
gious that will be so happily situated
when the railroad systems of the coun
try become developed. A few years of
watching, working and waiting and our
hopes shall be m ore than realized.

Fall OF Prices.

The Financial Chronicle Of New York
attributes the present depression # bus
mess TO the fall in breadstuffs. 1t SAYS
that collections at the West are made
slowly aud with difficulty; for rith low
er prices for his products the farmer
finds himself unexpected crippled in
his capacity to pay what he owes. or to
maintain the scale of expenditures to
which long period of high prices has
accustomed him. The Western mer
chant, therefore, is not in position to
meet the claims of his Eastern creditors.
or to buy goods to an extent correspond
ing with their recent importalions. =
With prizes and demand both reduced,
some branehes of trade and manufacture
are carried on at loss, and rs the
Western market enters largely into the
calculations If merchant and manufac-
turer. the Chronicle thinks that the latter
must soon be compelled to seek compen
sation in reduction of the price of Ia
Dor, or of raw materials, or of BOTH
Then comes this statement, which we
hope is well founded
The cost of the main element of sub
sis.ence has declined nrarl, one half;
fuel has fallen in nearly an equal proper
ton; clothing is rapidly cheapening, and
the prospects of the southern crops en-
courage the hope ora cotton YELL which
will give fresh impulse to this tendency ;
and although animal food still remains
high, YET the reduced profits upon grain
growing will naturally direct attention la
cattle farming. ard increase our supply
of pork and beef. Thus it will be seen
that the return of breadsiuffs TO c0mpar
stively low prices, leads the way to a
general reduction in the value of all do
mestic products embraced in the costs Of
living.

secretary boutwell, and the Treasury.

Among The members of GRANr's cab
met, not one is proving himself more
emphatically the right man in the right
place than is GEORGE S boutwell, for
the position of Secretary of the Treasu
nv. Commencing in an official capacity
by discharging the horde of drones and
hangers-ou that infested every Granny of
the department, he has continued TO ex
tend bis retienchmcht policy into all the
avenues Of the branch of the govern
ment which he controls. Throwing over
board all those intensely fine but proven
bially impracticable theories which have
so long incumbered the workings of the
Office. he has reduced the whole thing to
simple, business basis, and now admins
tors that part Of the government as !;
would be done for an individual-with-
out all that red tapeism so common to
those places. Ia this way he has set
about reducing The public debt IN thor
oughly practical and efficient manner
Last month reduction WAS made 10 the
extent of six millions, and orle-s have
been issued TO the assistant treasurer in
New York. to mske weekly purchases of
one million of the five twenty bonds,
which. if continued, will reduce the debt
one million per week or fiflytwo mil
lions year ! This is certainly pleas
ing exhibit Confidence in our govern
ment is growing broader and deeper
every day among foreign nations. and
the result will show It's If to our advan
tsge in a short time. Ii the Secretary
will continue in the work as he has COM
mehced, the name of Boutwell, will be
placed high uD among those who have
worked good to their fellow men.

Uses, brief description of them may
not prove uninteresiing to our readers:
The building is of brick and is three
stories in hight. 1t has eighteen rooms
for the accumulation of customers, be-
sides large and commodious apartments
for the use os families of from three to
five persons. The rooms are nine feet

the second story by the parIor ard fam
lily rooms. and the third story by sleep
ing apartments, etc. The furniture Of
the house is all new, tasty and comforta-
BILE. with nothing coarse and clumsy or
light and trashy. We noticed some very
fine painting and granting, which was
executed by Mr.. SAM. WILLIAMS, of this
city.
One of the main objects which Mr..
ScHAsER, the proprietor, has in view in
opening this hotel, is, we believe. to fur
nish accommodations for the many health
and pleasure seekers, who annually come
up here from their homes in the crowded,
dusty cities, to breathe the pure, life Civ
ing air Of this healthful region and to
take advantage of the rare facilities for
sporting which the Valley of the st. Croix
affords. If he succeeds in this enterprise
great want will have been supplied,
while the reputation of first class hotel
will rebound to tho credit Of the city gen.
orally.

Improvements.

We are pleased to note that many of
our citizens are Sup and doing" in the
way of improving their premises. Neat
and substantial fences are being built,
fruit and ornamental trees are being
planted, and such other improvements
made as will beautify and greatly en-
nance the value of their homes.
A few evenings since we took '.strol'
on the hill, and were not little surprised
to find so many fine gardens and hastily
arranged grounds, but we are free to say
that the premises of Mr.. ] 7. Hurst
has the preference. so far as we have
seen. He has expended a considerable
amount of money for fruit trees, shrubs
and plants, which he brought from the
South this spring, and has displayed a
taste in preparing the grounds and plant
ing them which few possess. One lot
is set apart for an orchard, in which are
set about fifty apple trees, of various va
rieties, which will, in a few years, remind
us of our eastern homes, where fruit is
abundant. Those wishing to see q mo-.
del garden for this section should visit
these premises.
