GIVEN BAIL-We learn that Aaron
Warner. who shot Charley Long at
the Bellevue Garden. some months
ago, has given bail for his appearance
at the next term of the Circuit Court.
and has been released from Jail. AS
in most all similar cases in this coun-
ty, we presume he will never be
brought to trial, thus corroborating
the truth of the proposition by cor
respondent few days ago. that it was
literally impossible to punish man
in this State for any high crime, if his
attorneys should desire to prevent it.
With such lax rules of law, it is not
strange that such scenes are enacted
as those which occurred at Browns
town and New Albany. 1t will be
strange if they do not become more
frequent, however much they are to
be deprecated.
RAMA light rain prevailed near
ly all day yesterday, just sufficient to
render the day extremely disagreea-
BILE. Between five aud six o'clock
last evening, it set in to rain in earn
est, aud continued with little inter-
mission until midnight. The mercu-
ry was falling slowly. still it was by
no means cold If the rain is general,
of which we have but little doubt,
our friends in the lowlands along the
river may prepare for food. The
Allegheny River is rising, which indi-
Gates mild weather in Northern New
York, and all the side streams be-
tween this and Pittsburg are at food
height. The low grounds above and
below the city are covered already,
and we can scarcely hope that the
river will have done more than to
commence declining until second
rise begins. We give our farmer
friends along the river this timely
warning, that they may prepare for
any emergency. o.,
EIGHTH OF JANUARY. - Yesterday
was the anniversary of the Battle OF
New Orleans. There was a time when
the day was observed, as was also the
I'D Of February, the anniversary of
the birth of the immortal Washing
ton-as gala day-a sort of Fourth
of July. ,79d1fe
For years the unterri6ed Democracy
were wont to assemble on each return
ing eighth of January to hold politi-
cal convention, and declaring to the
world to what they were opposed. all
of which, when summed up, meant
that they were opposed to being out
of Office. But since the sceptre has
departed from tribe of Ishmael the.
Eighth of January as we'll as the
Fourth of July has fallen into disre-
pute with the now thoroughly terri
fed.
Nothing occurred in this city yes
terday to indicate that it was the
eighth of January, and the fifty-fourth
anniversary of the Battle of New Or
leans. The eighth Of January, 1915,
should be held in perpetual remem-
brance.

RECORDERS CoURT.-The man Of
whom va made mention. yesterday,
as having on the night previous slip
ped into hack while the driver was
absent, and afterwards acted in an
insane manner around Lyons store
door, was taken to the lookup and
again fined 81 with So % costs. 1t
appears lie was before the Recorder
Thursday evening, and charged like
sum for being drunk, and it was the
general supposition that he would
rest in Castle Cochran again last
night. His is a sad case. He halls
from Kentucky, and when sober is
gentleman, a scholar, and a good
business man, who has some means.
But his Unsuitable thirst for whisky,
whenever he comes to the city, gets
him into trouble. He has been ever
so many times before the Recorders
of this city, and always gives security
for his fines. The only remedy is to
keep him in custody till he gets sober
and sane = for drinking invariably
renders him crazy = and then send
him across the river and let him go
home where he generally keeps sober.
1t would be better for him never to
come to the city at all.

Gen. Dent lakes Care Of lsts Friends
A Gaieaa widow Provided Fer.
Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.
WASHINGTON, June 2l.-It appears
that the redoubtsble Gen. Dent is some
thing more than 3 mere deorkeeper and
card receiver at the White House. Not
a few appointments in the various ex-
ecutiye departments have been procured
through his all-powerful aid. Very lew
of the heads Of departments and bureau
officers have had the courage to dis
regard the endorsement recommend ed
by Brevet BrigaJier General Dent on
the back of an applicants papers. 1t
would not do to go back on the Presi-
dents brother in>law, his Official keeper
and head OF the doorkeepers at the ex-
ecutive mansion. t. ~
A good story is told Of one of Dents
appointments in the pOstotfice depart
ment, which is fair illustration Of bis
lack Of Judgment. A lady went there
with her papers endorsed by Gen. Dent.
Her story, as told to the people at the
postoffice department is an old one. She
was a widow; she had lost her father and
her husband in tho war, not TO speak OF
the several brothers who had shared the
same horrible fate. Very soon, however.
somebody turned up who acted very
much as il he were her husband. There
was an announcement of the widows
second marriage; but she began going by
the name of her husband turned up again.
Presently he, toe, got place in one oI
the departments, and is there yet. The
whole family has been provided for, but
whether the husband was backed by
| the same influence as the widow Is moi
known. 1t is said they are all from Hi
| nois, near GaIens.

corn crops generally look well, and are
in good order-clear of grass and weeds
On gray and sandy lands crops are best
having improved much faster since the
waem rains than the crops in red land
Cotton is too small to make full crop.
ReIeble planters, Of years experience,
say the cotton is smaller than they have
ever seen it at this season of the year.
The Forsyths Advertiser of the 22d
inst. says The wheat crop of Monroe
county is generally conceded to be more
than an average one, aad at present prices
Will prove quite remunerative to
those who planted largely. The wheat
crops of Upson, Pike, Jasper, Jones and
Blbb, are all reported to be excellent,
and farmers appear to be well satisfied
with the harvest. The corn and cotton
crors are very promising. The bene>
fieent seasons which farmers have had
recently have pushed corn and cotton to
their utmost, and prospects are now more
promising than ever, if that were pOssi-
BILE. It's estimated that the wheat and
oat crop Of Butts, for the year, will
double any harvest since the close Of the
war. If other sections of the State have
done as well-and reports are very en-
eeek kging &C Georgia will lltgEsatly diminish
her Importation of breadstlfs.

ANIMmENsE PEACH ORCHARD.

A correspondent of the New York
Express writes from a village called
Ridgeway, midway between Wilmington
and Weldon, N. c., and gives the follow.
ing description of an immense peach or
chard
But the great feature Of the picture 10
a peach orchard of 250,000 trees, oceu-
pying $500 acres of land. An idea OF
its magnitude may perhaps be better
shown by the statement that if the acres
were in row they would extend to the
distance Of 100 miles, and if the trees
themselves were in a row would extend
to the distance of 1000 miles
In the season for gathering, at only one
basket per tree per day. there must be
on the ground every day supply OF 25O,s
900 baskets As the peaches pulled to-
day are to be iu New York to morrow
for this can bet is easy to conceive the
army of gatherers necessary to ELL the
baskets and place them upon the cars
Aa enterprise such as this requires nC
small capital and energy. 1t is in cspa-
bic hands and will probably be success
The parties have secured, am informed
a contract for transportation for twenty
years.

RADICAL DIVISION IN PENNsYVA

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune, writing Oh the 18th
inst, says:
A number Of Pennsylvania politicians,
including several members Of Congress,
arrived here to day in the interest of the
Republican party of that State They
represent that there is an unfortunate
and very serious division among the
leaders of the party in their State,
with no prospect Of a union before the
approaching gubernatOrial campaiDgn.
One faction goes so far as to threaten TO
nominate and support candidate indie.
pendent of the regular nomination Of the
party. Some Of the most prominent OF
these "disorgsniZers," as they are term
ed, arc Federal office holders, This is
especially the case among the govern
ment officials of Philadelphia. 1t seems
to be fight of the city politicians against
those from the country districts. An ef-
fort is making to bring about several re-
movals among the Philadelphia officials,
OF have them stop their interference in the
organization of The party for the coming
campaign. The gubernatOrial nOminar
ting convention will be held in Philadel-
phia next week, and these government
officials can exercise great influence II
/ they are so disposed.

VALIDITY OF OBLIGATIONS FOR
SLAVES.

In a case lately tried before Judge
DurelI, of the United States Court in
Louisiana, it was held that obligations
founded upon property Of slaves are not
invalid in consequence Of the abolition Of
slavery by the government Of the United
States. The case was N. L. Campbell
vs.. L. F. Geneses, in which the defend
ant was sued as endorser Of promisOry
note, the consideration of which was for
the purchase of slaves. The defendant
plead the destruction Of the property by
act Of the government. bat the court or
dered Judgment for the $1,000 claimed
with eight per cent. interest from April
5, 1860, until paid. About year
ago the Supreme Court Of that State took
an diverse view OF such cases, deciding
that obligations Of that kind were rem
dered invalid by the destruction Of
slavery, and, even if not so, that slavery
had never existed by law in the United
States, existing only by federation. The
decision Of Judge Durell will have an
important bearing, because there aTe a
vast number Of cases hanging upon the
same point. 1t is not probable, however,
that the defendant in the case, and others
interested like himself in similar cases,
will allow the matter to rest final with
the decision Of the lower court, though
it is not yet stated whether any steps
have been taken to that end.

HAD News from the Indian Country.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The Commis-

dated May 81 from George w. Dent, Sd
perintendent of Indian Affairs for Arizona
Territory, in which he gives a sad state
ment of the conduct Of the Indians. News
Of depredations come from all paris. They
have made attacks on herds and wagon
trains in the immediate vicinity Of Camp
Kerd, wounding and killing several men
aud driving off stock. The same scenes
have been enacted near Camp Lowell. The
River Indians of Gils and Colorado are
quiet, being now engaged in planting. The
troubles, he says, are owing 10 the temper

Territory
