IT seems probable that the deficiency In
the supply of grain, which the floods III Bo-
hemia and Hungary were calculated to
produce this year, win be almost entirely
covered by the abundant crop in France.
For several years past France has failed
10 produce sufficient grain
for her own consumption, and has been
obliDed to draw upon the region around the
Black Sla. It is nov announced that she
will be able to export 100000 bushels to
England and Italy after retaining enough
for Der ewn use. In this way, If ample
railroad communications have been estab-
lished, the crop in Southern Russia will
go far toward supplying the demand in
Central Europe.

GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND says Of
Judge Barnard: "If his face were of that
intoned, chaste character usual to gentle
men, he would be called very handsome
man. But, as sis face is somewhat marked
by dissipation, excess in living, and reck-
lessness, ne is what the ladies might
call @icked beautiful man. His dress
is tat of a gambler, except that the
cciors of it are generally dark, and
sometimes black; but he wears shining dia-
monds in bis friIled shirt, diamond breast
pin, and a great diamond cluster on ms
| finger. He has been known eveBto have

SALT LAKE.


SALT LAKE, Aug. 29-By order of a
Mormon Justice of the Peace, the police
this evening made descent on two houses
of illfame, and with axes, knives, etc, de-
molished all the furniture therein, worth
probably $4,000. Bureaus, bedsteads
pictures and every thing were chopped to
pieces. A considerable amount of money
and jewelry was also taken. The excite.
ment among liberal citizens on account OF
the wanton destruction of property created
much bad feeling, and threats were made
to organize vigilance committees and clean
out Brigham Young's and other poly
gamous houses.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA RING.
From the New York Evening Post.l

The committee of the South Carolina Tax
payers Convention have decided to Institute
active proceedings against the State officers
who have formed ring apparently quite as
corrupt as Tweed's ring in this city. The com.
mittee are encouraged to begin the work by
the recent report Of the committee of the
Legislature who Investigated the charges
against those officers, and regard as necessary
since the Legislature has refused to act in ac-
cordance with the recommendations Of Its
own committee. The charges of fraud and
peculation are too numerous to be given 10
detail. The evidence Is 30 plain that their
truth cannot be doubted. It shows clearly
why the taxes for the support of The State
government have been increased by the ruling
ring from five hundred thousand to more than
one million of dollars per year, and why the
State debt has increased from six millions to
an indefinite amount, variously estimated at
from twenty to thirty millions Of dollars. The
friends of honest government everywhere
will wish the South Carolina taxpayers sue
cess In their efforts TO throw off the ring which
has robbed them 30 extensively.
