The Market for Hog Product.

The St. Louis Republican clrefuII,y re.
views the prospects of the coming hog
crop in the light of the Chicago catastro-
phe. It says that the stocks of meats on
hand in the West would be placed by an
actual count below Is, 600, 900 poands, ard
concludes that while extreme high prices
are not probable at any time in the season,
farmers can to large extent control the
value of their product, and if not fright.
ened by sudden closoness of the money
market, can obtain fairly remunerative
value for every hog they raise-better
prices In December than November"

DEAR JoUESAL-Tho State Fair closed
to-day after probably the most successful
exhibition since the wax. Ia many depart
ments there was great deficiency, but wher
we consider the condition of the country
and the poverty Of the people, there are
surely no grounds for fault-fnding.
Outside Of the immediate objects of the
Fair, and it's delightful social features. the
Indian ball-players have been the centre
Of the chieFest attraction. Yesterday they
gave us their game again, and [ am eatls-
fed that nearly ten thousand spectators
were in attendance. To-day we had foot
race from some half dozen, around the
track, distance of half mile. The win
ner made it IN two minutes and fifteen
seconds. am glad to say that I have
almost concluded arrangements for them
TO visit our Fair. Our negotiations will
conclude tomorrow.
It is said that the crowd IL attendance
on Thursday was greater than ever before
in tho history Of tho Society. The address
of Mr.. Norwood WAS listened TO by as
many as could get within the range of his
voice. His effort IS spoken CT as marked
with ability and good practical sense. It
will, CT course, be published.
I an glad to say that our fellow citizen,
Mr. 4. Oldham, took premiums in all the
articles he had on exhibition. It seems to
be q way he has. The interchangeable An
dorson, with his many machines, was on
hand, and his enclosure was one of the
chiefest attractions of Floral Hall. never
visited that Hall without seeing around
him an interested crowd Of ladies who
were not moro pleased with the wonderful
performances Of his machines than with
the urbane skilfulness of Mr. a. l trust
his visit was profitable as we'll as agreeable.
Among the exhibitors. noticed Mr..
Peter E. Smith, the Vice President, from
Halifax, of the Cape Fear Agricultural
Association, whose Common Sense Plan
ter" claimed tho attention Of all those
interested in Agricultural machinery. Mr..
Smith is one of the ''livest" farmers of the
State, and his example is having a marked
Influence in his section. He will, of
course. be at our Fair with his machines, |
and with, what is better, his energy and |

The STATE FAIR.
DEAR JoURxA1 The second day OF the
Fair has Just cIos-d The day was most
brilliant and the Attendance very large.
I find the exhibition in ell departments
fully up 10 tLat Of last year, while IL
horses, cattle and hogs, i. Is far supe-
rior to any since the war. The a2ricul-
tural machinery, while possibly not so ex-
.tensive as formerly, is very much snpe
rior to any heretofore exhibited. In fact,
in oil the rozc substantial matters which
go to indicate solid imI roverocnt the Fair
is q mcst gratifying success.
President Battle, General Lewis. Mar
shat, and Superintendent Litchford are
indefatigable in their efforts. Floral
Hall is crowded with beautiful ladies and
the very choicest creations of their handi-
work. Tho other Halls are filled with in
dustrial exhibiiiong oE all kind.
The trotting today was good and c1-
citing, but there is q stereotyped sameness
both in tbs rate Of speed and IL The horses
themselves tia. renders this amusement
s0meTha morotonous to the hadHneS OF
10 n h at
this part OF the exhibition might be omit
ted entirely, or such premiums offered as
would attract 5sctc horses It may not be
50, but it appears to me that certain men 60
about to the Fairs and put their stock IN
copartncrsbip, beating each other alter
nately, and dividing tho profits.
Tho great attraction to-day was the
Indian ball game. I cannot say it was
very exciting, bat il waa a fine exhibition
Of athletic skill. Grounds were stakod
off, some one hundred yards wide, and
something over two hundred yards ID
length. The contestants, some ten or
dozen in each party, distinguished by the
color of the Iegloss pants, the only COS
tune they wore, approached each
other from opposite ends OF the grounds,
with Il whoop peculiar to their tribe. Their
faces and naked breasts were painted q Ia
the Indian warrior of Cooper's novels. A
small ball is thrown up, and the game
consists in throwing and carrying this ball
to tue one or the other end of the staked
grounds. Each player carries two bats,
used to pick the ball up, rather than to
strike it. As on exhibition Of wrestling,
racing and endurance, it is certainly worth
Witnessing. Beyond this, it will not com
pare with the old-timo game CT cold

The meeting Of the Conservative Exec
utive Committee this evening is exciting
much interest It will be full and inter
esting meeting, and, think, beneficial to
the party.

The Difference,


The Tribune and other Radical papers
at the North are very complaoent over tt e
fact that the soldiers stationed III the
streets of Chicago, to preserve order and
protect property, after the great confia-
grafton, "made no arrests but shot down
turbulent characters On the spot" This,
we say, is Justified and applauded by Gree
ley & Co.
In North Carolina, neighb0rhOods have
been lit up, by night, with the glare of
burning barns and homesteads, bat when
the League inoendiary has been caught
and were Threatened, this is Ku-klaxism,
calling for the strong arm of Federal pow
er, and Greeley & Co. are shocked and
indignant beyond the power Of cx-
preston
An Extraordinary Announcement.
The Era, the new Radical paper in Bal
eigh, contains the following remarkable
statement
"Now. a word as to tho position occupied by
Captain Hester, in his relations to.the U. d. gov
ernment. We assert upon the evidence Of the
Off cial documents now lying before us, that Jos
G.. Hester is clothed with more power an gent
of the government of the U. S. than any
man an the 1CflOe SOILt1 he nOld5 commissions
from eUery department of the government-civil
and mitary-with greater Discretionary power
than any officer in tie State"
The fact that any one man, however ex-
exalted or pure, should be invested with
such extraordinary power over the lives
and liberties of whole people, as it were,
is sufficiently startling but it becomes
inoonceivably monstrous when the charac-
ter Of the individual, thus DISTINGUISHED, |
is taken into consideration. Who is the |
Joseph G. Hester that the "best govern I
ment in the world l" clothes with such un-
exampled authority :? It may crafty the |
"loyaI' heart of the North to know, in the |
first place, that lie was Confederate |
blockade runner, the most rampant of |
" rebels" so called, and an active member |
of the Ku-Klux organization, until he was |
paid to betray the associates whom he |
swore to protect in their illegal combina-
ton. It may further gladden. the moral |
Of Yankeedom to learn that |
