A correspondent of the New Yor k
Commercial 4a0ertiser recently inter-
viewed Gen. Sherman. The following
interesting conversation ensued
'.What dou you think Of the Kuklu1

Good bills It has already stopp

that the President has power to send
troops into any State to quell distur
Dances, is in itself, is enough to fright
en- the disturbers of the public peace, "
But John Quincy Adams says the
bill is an absolute surrender of the
principles of free goverAment-placing
in the Presidents hands the power
through that and the Election Bill, .

"All stuff! How ridiculous to talk
about man raising himself to the
empire in this country! Such man
after declaring for the empire, might
hold a regiment of soldiers in the
White House yard for just one day
AMI then the people would put him in
the Potomac river. Why, they shut uF
Napoleon at Strasbourg, and ducked
him in the sea at Boulogre, for just
such nonsense"

The defeat of the proposition for a
convention to frame new State Con-
stitution in North Carolina, is a signal
Republican victory. The proposition
was Of Democratic origin and support,
and was intended to overthrow the
present State Government and to rem
der abortive the measures of recon-
struction-in other words, to throw the
State back into the hands of the old
rebel party. The proposition is defeat
ed BY abont 10000 majority.

A PROBABLE PosrpoNEMENr :
The Democrats evidently intend taking
all the comfort they can during the pres
ent state canvass. There is now some
probability that they viii postpone their
convention called for the 23d inst, till
sometime after the meeting Of the Re-
publican Convention, which takes
place the Both Ct August. It is prob
able that our Democratic friends ex-
poet to reap some advantage by allow
ins the Republicans to show their
hand first. We are curious to see how
much they will gain BY such bril-
liant point Of strategy.

IMMIGRATION STATISTICS. British
emigation statistics show there were
more English emigrants to the United
States last year than there were Irish,
and that while the Irish emigration OF
1870 is IA 500 less than the same in
1867, the English emigration exceeds
that of 1867 by 1879 More En-
glishmen emigrated to the United
States in 1870 than there were Irish
men leaving Ireland in 1860 for all
parts of the world. This very startling
exhibit puts in strong light not only
the magnitude of the emigration ques-
ton now agitating Parliament, but the
influence this new style of emigration
may have on this country.

in some parts of the state. At Portage
City, there was yoiolent wind, which

unroofed buildings, twisted off trees,
Frustrated the telegraph, and did other
damage, while there was severe hail

five iucnes in circumference, which
greatly injured the growing corn,

In Rock county there was a terrific
storm of rain and hail, lasting for seye-

done except to the tobacco crop, which
is said to be completely ruined in some

one large field, the probable yield of
which was estimated at 5000 or 500
an acre, but the product of which the
