POLITICAL NOTES.

Henry w. Longfellow is an advocate
of the reelection of President Grant.
1t is estimated in Barry county, Mo-,
one out of every four Democrats will not
support Greeley and Brown.
Over one thousand tanners were in
procession at the Republican rally in DEG
MONIES on the evening Of the 2lst instant.
Z Ex-senator Graham N. Fitch, of In
diana, is spoken of as the possible candi-
of the Louisville convention for Vice-Presi-
dent.
The Springfield Republican insists that
Gratz Brown shall be dropped. That
would be taking all the spirit cut of the
ticket. Toledo Blade.
A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from Pennsylvania, says:
!" For the last four weeks the prospect
has been steadily improving, and to-day
the tidings from every quarter of the State
justify the statement that General IIar-
tranft's success is certain"
Edmund Burke said: tBecause some
grasshoppers under the fern make field
ring with their importunate clnk, while the
great cattle reposing under the oak chew
the cud and are silent, we are not to sup
pose that the noisy insects are the only in
habitants OF the feld." This illustration
is opposite at the present time. The vocif-
erous hoppers represent the Liberal Re-
publican party they are far more noisy
than important Louis Globe.
--Sangamon county, Illinois, reports
fifteen Republicans who have gone over to
Greeley, and four hundred Democrats who
have declared against him. Nearly every
town in Illinois gives similar encouraging
news. The Liberals in Springfield have
adopted curious manner of proceeding,
namely: that of sending out threatening
letters to old leading Democrats, scolding
them because they do not declare in favor
of the Tribune philosopher.
"A dispatch from St. Louis says: The
Irishmen in this city are feeling very sore
over the result Of the Democratic State con-
vention. They expected to get one of their
countrynen on the State ticket, but the
convention not only gave the Liberals the
office they sought for, but ignored them
entirely; nor have they anything to expect
from Congressional conventions and the
probabilities are the county ticket will show
the same absence of Irish as the state ticket.
This studied and repeated i'll treatment of
the Irish had aroused good deal of indig.
nation, and there is a movement making
among them which is likely to result in loss
to the Democrats of a many Irish votes.

LOCAL MATTERS.

SPEAKING AT FARMvILLE.--J.
Harmer Gimer, of this city, filled his APP
pointment to speak at Farmvile last night,
and we are reliably informed made the best
speech of the canvass. The people col
lected in large numbers in the courthouse
to hear the Colonel, and gave bin their
earnest attention throughout his speech,
which occupied about one hour, he having
consented to divide time with Phil. McKin.
ney, Esq.,, the Greeleycrat Elector in the
Fourth Congressional district. When the
latter gentleman rose to speak he
evidently labored under great
embarrassment. 1t was bis first APP
pearance before an audience in the char
acter of a Greeleycrat, and he hasn't yet
become familiar with the new harness. Mr..
Mckinney is a gentleman of acknowledged
abilities as a speaker, but he did not appear
to advantage last night. The audience was
about equally divided between the two par
ties, and was perfectly orderly and respect
ful toward the speakers.

Virginia LeaE-Tbe Effect of the Drouth upon
the Growing Crop.

Virginia LeaE-Tbe Effect of the Drouth upon
the Growing Crop.
[From the New York Tobacco Leaf1
The Virginia leaf market was without
noticeable feature last week. Manufactu-
rers operated to some extent, and a pretty
good sale of fine grades was effected on
their account on Saturday. Shippers APP
pear to have done but little, the foreign de-
mand being urgent only for assortments
not easily obtained at current rates abroad.
The future of prices here is not clearly
observable at this time, except in so far as
it is clear that the average price is
not likely to be lower than it is at present.
How much of an advance there is to be,
and when an advance, if one is inevitable,
may be expected. can only be determined
when more definite information has been
received regarding the extent of the dam
age done by the dronth to the growing
crop. A competent Richmond authority
inclines to the belief that an average crop
will be produced both in Virginia and
North Carolina, though at the same time
admitting that he will be better able to
Judge after seeing what effect the recent
rains in the dry districts have had upon the
crop. Another trustworthy observer at
the same place is of the opinion that the
rains came too late to be of service, the
season for replanting having passed.
The latter, referring to the market on
the 22nd inst, says: "Market brisk--a
large crop of bright goods belonging to a
planter sold well, some of it bringing $685."
And again, To-day fine break and
fine prices" Brights of fancy order
brought $60@125; medium $32@56, and
lower grades in proportion. All wrappers
higher. A lot of 81 packages, some IA 900
pounds, was sold at an average round of
50c., the Tugs running as low as 1Oc., and
the leaf averaging about 65c.
TOBACCO WORMS.
We hope says an exchange, our planting
friends have not forgotten the lesson taught
them last year by the great pest of tobacco
planting, the horn worm. The tobacco flies
are how swarming around every patch Of
jamestown weeds, and are nightly laying
the eggs which produce the regular August
glut of worms. United attack now against
the fly will save nine-tenths of the labor
in catching the worms one by one killing
two flies is equal to catching five thou
sand worms. Let the children be sup
piled with paddles, and paid for all the
flies brought in. 1t should be the bust
ness of one hand on every plantation to
apply the cobalt poison, diluted with
honey and water, to the jamestown weed
worm every evening. Then the work OF
wormng tobacco would be light. The to-
bacco fly is not butterfly, but night
moth, and bright brush fires kindled around
the tobacco fields would attact and destroy
them by hundreds. 1t is safe calculation
to say that the worms ate up last year one
tenth of the crop, beside damaging the re-
mainder fully 50 per hundred pounds in
value. United action in this matter would
save thousands of dollars to the section this
season. viii not our planters act at once ?

A Boy PICKS UP A 100000 DIA-
MoND.-Dr. II. p. SVEN and family, from
Santa CRUZ, California, were in the city
yesterday, aud left for the east on the
Vandalia road. The doctor had in his pos
session, large diamond, supposed to be of
the first water, which he claims to be
worth over s3,000,0o0. 1t was found by
his boy at the mouth of gulchin Santa
Cruz county over six years ago. The
specimen is an rregularly rounded pebble,
about the size Of large horse chestnut,
covered with thin, brownish, opaque crust,
and the weight is 3! ounces. Two or three
facets made by grinding off the
outside coat exhibit brilliant Transparency,
which, to the unprofessional eye looked
like rock crystal. 1t has been examined in
San Francisco, where an offer of $40, 900
was made to the owner, Mr.. L. B. Hop
kins compared it with other diamonds, aud
pronounced it the regular simon pure stuff.
The Doctor goes to Boston to have it tested
by the most skillful lapidaries Of that city.
Explorations have since been made in the
canon where the specimen was discovered,
but the search has not been rewarded with
success.-H. Louis Republican 23d,

THE OPINION OF THE CITY ATToR-
NEY.-The recent opinion of the city at
torney with reference to the non-liablity of
the city for damages to private property,
occasiened by opening streets and changing
established grades, is very unfortunate
one for the prosperity of our city, if well
founded in law. 1t strips property own
ers of many rights which they were sup
posed to enjoy under the law, and robs
them OF the protection which governments
usually accord to citizens aud their proper
ty. We hope the question will be tested,
believing that no corporation has the legal
right to infict damage with impunity.

MORE DWELLINGS NEEDED.-Acc ord-
ing to the census of 1870 there were 9,792
families in Richmond that year occupying
s,0O7 dwellings. The aggregate population
was 81 OBS, or over an average of six per-
sons to each dwelling. The fact that 800
families were without separate dwelling in
1870 presents an argument in favor of the
erection of more domicls, which ought to
make an impression on those who have the
means of building. Hundreds of cottages,
suitable for small families, could find occu-
pants at days notice if they were erected,
and there is much vacant ground within the
city limits bringing in no revenue at all,
which might be covered by these small
houses. ...,

HEAVY RAINs.-Very heavy rains vis-

down the water came down in torrents,
and at intervals during the forepart of the
night other showers fell. The streets were
flooded in many places. The tunnel, espe-
cially at the New-streot shaft, was filled
with water, which must necessarily delay
the work. The circus was almost
drowned out. The supply of mud and
water was so great that the performance
for this forenoon was abandoned. Not
withstanding the great fall of rain last
night, however, the crowd was immense
and the performance good.
