to q lucrative Office by Geary or

greedy and hungry to give a democrat
any pickiDgs. and an honest democrat

position from the radicals as the man

The corn crop Of the West, the pres

ed for years. In many portions Of In.
diana, Iowa, Missouri. Nebraska, and
Minnesota corn is offered in the cribs
at fifteen cents a bushel. In Illinois
and Kentucky the yield has been be-
yond all precedent. The wheat crop
has also been very large. In Europe
on the contrary, there appears 10 have

has been a great decrease from the

prices.

ing of Alexis. You need not run for
your Webster Unabridged, because
you will not find il there, but we can
tell you sooner-Alexis, 10 a Russian
grandduke, son ofthe present Gar, who
last week arrived at New York, with
some other Russian dignataries, to Wis
il the United States. The Gothamites
had been looking for Alexis for two
weeks, expecting his arrival every day
but unfavorable winds detained the
Russian feet which bore the Prince
New York, however, kept herself in
readiness to give him grand recep-
ton, and finally Alexis did arrive.
All New York turued out, dressed up
in its "go-to-meetings," the day Tues.
day 21st inst, was fne, and Gotham
had grand holiday. Alexis 10 said
to be tall, finely built, we'll proper

pleased with the welcome that was ex-
tended to him. All the vessels in the
harbor were gaily dressed. and the
American and Russian collors were
as numerous almost as the fakes Of the
recent snow storm; Alexis thought
New York great city. and thinks
Broadway the finest street he ever saw.
The prince was welcomed TO America
by Gen. Dix, in short speech, to
which the grand-duke Alexis replied

Strange Fact.

Every Radical Senator in New
York Legislature who was bought by
Tweed & Co, to vote for the corpora
ton charter, by which SO much money
was stolen and the people defrauded
and who was a candidate for re-elec-
ton was reelected by the Radical
party and will take his scat in Janu'
ary next. This circumstance proves
one fact beyond all boubt, that il mat
ters very little what radical does
while in Office, if renominated which
he can easily effect by money, he viii
be reelected. The cry, "the party
must be saved" is all powerful, and
up to the polls they 90 pell NELL, lik'
a flock Of sheep and vote the ticke
clean through. Not so with Demo
crats. In New York they did no
preach reform merely before the cleo
ton and then go and vote the ticket
They went to the polls and acted ou
their profession even should the party
be defeated. In this course they
showed their good sense. The Radi
Gals however took good care TO vot'
their men in even ifthe party had beer
bought the year previous by Tweed
With them party is everything, hon

North Carolina Repudiating Her
Deht-The Governors Message

The message of the Governor
which was sent in recent. shows the
debt Of North Carolina 10 be thirty
four million eight hundred thousand
dollars. The people are unable tC
pay the interest on this sum. The
Governor recommends the sale Of the
railroad interests ofthe State to pre-
vent repudiaticn, but at the same
time says that no financial policy
should be determined upon until the
facts connected with the debt Is ascer'
tained, in order that some conclusion
may be reached as 10 the disposition
Of the liabilities ofthe State.
After the message was received q
resolution was offered in the House,
and referred, reciting that as the debt
was created by strangers under the
bayonets, who voted the moneys 70
railroads, and otherwise embezIled
the funds of the State, provision
should therefore be made for repudia-
ting the entire State debt.

Fraudulent Issue OF Bonds In
South Carolina-~NObOdy Il
blame.


A tribune dispatch from South Car
oliRa confirms the reports Ofthe fraud
ulent issue Of South Carolina bonds.
The Governor charges the Treasurer
with a fraudulent issue of bonds. or
rather Of re-selling bonds which had
already been converted into new
bonds. The State Treasurer and Fl
nancial Agent deny this, and say the
Governor 10 misinformed. The result
of the matter il. that the State Treas
ury is emptied and the credit Of the
State below par.
This is the result of caIpet-bagism.
Before South Carolina was cursed with
northern vagabonds, who now run her
state government, her people knew no
such thing as dishonesty within her
borders, among those connected With
the. administration of the state. Now
she is bankrupt and disgraced, through
the operation Of the carpet-bag
thieves.

That was rather o two-edged joke
which was made not so long since in the
Texas Legislature in this wise At the
late election some FIVE Democrats were
elected TO the lower house to fill un.
expired terms, and on coming up 70
the clerks desk to qualify took the
customary oath to support the thir'
teenth, fourteenth, and fifthteenth
amendments. At this a sable member
named Cotton, there unto melted by a
carpet-bag Satan behind him, moved
that whereas the spectacle Of FIVE
Democrats swallowing all the amend
ments in one day was glory enough
the House do now adjourn. From
the Democratic side came a request
that the mover read his resolution
over, and then was developed the
facts that the Hon. Cotton could
neither read nor write, and was then
holding the manuscript Of his resolu-
ton upside down.
