A CHANCE FOR Our BREADsTUFFs. Euro
pean kilograms represent that the wheat crop
in Great Britain is disastrously deficient. We
learn also that the crop in France is much
below the average, though that OF oats, rye
and other cereals is pretty good. In the case
of the British crop the deficiency arises
chiefly from an unfavorabe season. In France
it is the result of the war and interruption OF
agricultural industry. Unfortunate as this is
for the people of these countries it will be an
advantage to the United States, for there will
be a greater demand for our breadstufs. Hap
PLY we have enough to supply the wants
abroad and to spare.

Southern Claims Commission.

This Commission had yesterday under con-
sideration, in public session, the claimsof Mrs.
Harriet Tcnnent, of Georgetown, for timber
cut from her land across the Potomac river for
fertilization purposes, and David L. Finch, of
this city, Union scout during the war, for
wood cut for fuel and fertilization uses from
his farm, on the line of the Orange and Alex
andria railroad. These claims were for snail
amounts.
The Commissioners have in print their Ia
test rulings on the subject of taking testimony
outside Of Washington in cases where claim
ants cannot bring their witnesses here, and in
relation to the manner Of getting cases assign
ed for examination after the papers have been
filed. These additional rules will be ready for
the public on Wednesday. Tue next public
session will be held to-day at 10 o'clock
Over four hundred claims have been filed al
together to date, the claimants hailing from
every section of the South. But few claims
were received yesterday.
Some persons seem to be still under the I'M
preston, through representations made to
them, that the Southern Claims Commission
are authorized to settle such accounts as are
fayorably considered by them. This is not so.
The Commission have no authority to pay q
dollar, but can only examine into the loyalty
Of the claimant and the validity of the claim,
and report accordingly. Congress must make
appropriations to liquidate any such claims be-
fore they can be paid, and tits not likely any
such appropriations will be made for some
time to come, as at the last session the clause
in the deficiency Bill providing for the ap-
pointment of solicitor to represent the Gov
erument before the Commission was stricken
out, on tho ground that such action might
commit the Government in favor of paying
the claims.-H dShinqton Patriot 26th.

Territory of Columbia.

Il is already known to the reader that by act
of Congress the municipalities of Georgetown
and Washington have been supplanted by
Territorial Government, including all the Dis
trict Of Columbia. The President of the Uni
tel States appoints Governor, Secretary,
Bend Of Public Works, Board Of Health, and
a Council Of II. The lower legislative board,
% is elected by the people who also elect
Delegate 20 Congress, to serve for two years.
Henry d. Cooke, banker, is Governor, and
Norton =. Chipman Secretary Of the Terrific
ry.
The election for Delegate to Congress and
for - Territorial Delegates took place on the
Goth instant Gen. \. P. Chapman candidate
Of the Radicals, and Richard T. Merrick, Esq,
nominee Of the Democrats and Conservatives.
There were registered %, 52S-names-17,-
ii5 whites and ,777 colored, 700 more col
orcd than tho census returned Of male colored
q4uHs. This result was accomplished by
bringing negroes from the neighboring counties
Of Maryland and Virginia, from Alexandria,

No wonder the white mems candidate was de

over 10 600 negroes to begin with. The re-
suit was For Chapman 1871 for Morrick
ll,lOi-maiority for Chapman 4,0S7. This
shows that OIerrick received t'ro-thirds Of the
white vote, made up Of the old citizens and
principal business men of Georgetown and
Washington and the country portion Of the
Territory
President Grant has appointed Frederick
Douglass and two other negroes to the Lcgisla-
tive Council Of II, and tho negroes have elect
ed 3 Of the % Delegates. Gen. Chapman is
about to resign his position Of Secretary, and
already committees have waited on the Presi-
dent to induce him to appoint Douglass or

should be successful, tho Territory, in the alb
sonco Of Governor Cooke, who had intended to

man very naturally expect that proportion Of

T7CGsT7TIE or n r A NIT " JOURN AL.
Trial of Mrs. Fair.


For more than month, trial has been in
progress in San Francisco of Mrs. Fair for
killing Colonel Crittenden. An exchange has
the following notice of some Of the most strik-
ing features of the trial:
Mrs. Fair was allowed to testify; two or
three times, in fact, at intervals during the
trial. She had a good story, and told it capt.
tally. The period during which she commit
ted tn, fatal deed, as well as that when she
was alleged to have made certain admissions
to her victims wife, she hadneatly covered up
by spells of insanity, during which everything
was TO her blank. AS to the latter episode
she could only remember that Mrs. Critten-
den's words "were constantly ringing in her
ears with clang, clang," but that she had no
notion of their meaning. Several doctors tes
tilted that she had shown insanity at the Jail,
after her arrest, while the female attendant at
the Jail, who was admited to be an expert,
from two years service as a nurse in lunatic
ASYLUM, swore that the accused had shown no
evidences of insanity which she could detect.
A sister of Colonel Fair testified that Mrs. Fair
had threatened to shoot Crittenden ii he did
not give her a certain $4,000 diamond set
which she coveted But it was claimed, in
opposition, that this sister, in turn, was wo-
man of bad character, whom Mrs. Fair, in the
capacity of guardian angel, had endeavored to
bring back in the paths Of virtue, and who had
soured on her benefactress. In further re-
buttal ofthe insanity theory, it was proven by
various shopkeepers and others that the fair
murderess had, on the afternoon of the murder,
been around shopping in a cool and equitable
frame of mind, purchasing, with great particu-
arity and sharp eye 10 prices, nice wine
colored suit; collecting bill due to her from
an auctioneer making arrangements TO soil
her piano, etc. The fact that she seemed con-
| tent with a suit valued at only SO seems to
have been the only index Of insanity obtained
from her transactions of that afternoon.
Mrs. Fair has mother, and the mother is in
court. The two ladies take turns with their
Mysteries, and, between them, Keep the court
and the bar in a most perturbed state. The
other day, witness was about to proceed to
narrate some circumstances tending to show,
as the lawyer said, not only that Mrs. Fair had
bad reputation, but that her course Of life
was such as inevitably to create such reputa-
ton. Whereupon, the mother went off in
very bad fit. The Judge, who was fining peo-
pie, right and left, for contempt of court, felt
! like applying his favorite remedy in this case,
but proposal to remove the poor lady had a
better effect. She promised to have no more
such spells if they would let her stay; and it
should be recorded to her credit that she kept
her word, Notwithstanding some very tough
testimony came in.

nomination; but in the event that the man of
our choice cannot succeed, there is no man in

would more gladly support for the nomination
than JONI w. GARRETT. His administra-
