CHICAGO, October 5.-The arguments
in the Blake divorce case were finished
yesterday. The Court decided that the
complainant, Mr.. Blake, was not entitled
to new hearing on the grounds Of
newly discovered evidence, but took the
argument as to the previous verdict
having been against the evidence under
advisement. aeon Naf
The bricklayers' strike continues, and
large numbers of them are out Of EN-
ployment. Twenty-four bosses have ac-
ceded to the demand and their men went
to work yesterday afternoon. Thirty
FIVE bosses still hold out, and yesterday
afternoon had a meeting at Exchange
building. Mr.. VIM. Carter occupied the
chair. After long discussion as to
whether it would be policy to submit to
the dictation of.the men, they decided to
employ no man on other terms than at

Rurfed Treasure.

Captain John Cowden is trying to re-
cover the cargo Of the South Bend,
which sunk near Island sc dnring the
fall of 1861 while en- route from Cincin-
natl to Arkansas river. A letter from
Captain CoWden says:
At twelve clock Of Wednesday, after
a seven weeks search, have struck the
wreck Of the steamer South Bend, in
boring our eleven hundred and twenty
fifth hole. The boat lies perfectly level
and straight, as il on docks. The decks
are sound and unbroken, twenty-four feet
deep under the sand, and about sixteen
feet below the present stage Of water.
The cargo consists principally Of liquors,
which will be Of great value, and with
appliances ] can get It out.
The value Of the cargo is estimated at
500, 900, and consists Of about six hun
bred barrels Of whisky, Cognac brandy
and other merchandise. Captain Cow
den will construct cOfer-dam at once,
and with steam engines, derricks and
other necessary appliances will proceed
10 the work Of recovering the cargo.

CONSERVATIVE TICKET.
rHr ELEcrIoss NEXT TUESDAY.

On Tuesday next, the eighth instant
the key-notes Of the Greeley-Grant con-
test will be struck in Indiana, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Nebraska and South Car
olina. In Pennsylvania the election is
for Governor, Supreme Judge, Auditor
General and Members Of Congress. The
chief interest is felt in the fight for Gov
ernor between John 7. Hartranft, Radi-
cal aud Charles r. Buckalew, Conserv'
alive. In 1871 the State was carried by
the Radicals by ll,3l5 majority, but in
the present issue the defeat Of Hartranit
is predicted by both friends and foes.
The election in Ohio is for Secretary OF
State, Supreme Judge. Member of the
Board of Education and Members OF
Congress. The candidates for Secretary
Of State are Allen F. Wykof, Admins
tration. and Aquilla Wiley, Liberal
In the Congressional contest, many
of the foremost and ablest men in
the State are candidates. The
test as to relative strength OF the
Administration and Liberal candidates
will be between Nessrs. Wykof and
Wiley, for Secretary of State. In 1871 the
the Republicans in the gubernstorlal
election carried the State by l6,OS4
majority. In Indiana the contest
is no less interesting. The election
is for Governor, Lieutenant Govern
or, Attorney General, Secretary OF
State, Auditor, Treasurer, Reporter,
Clerk Of the Supreme Court, Superln-
tendent of Public Instruction and Mem
hers of Congress. In the State election
of 1870, the Democratic nominee for
Secretary Of State was elected by ma
iority of 1868 votes. In the present
struggle the Administration candidate
for Governor is Thomas NJ. Browne, and
the Liberal candidate I. A. Hendricks.
The Democrats and Liberal Republicans
are thoroughly united, and are co-opera-
ting in the most harmonious manner
for the success Of the ticket, and have
every hope of triumphant success.
In Nebraska the contest is for Governor,
Chief Justice and Associate Justices,
Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer,
Attorney General, Prison Inspector,
District Attorneys and Members Of Con-
gress. In 1870 the Administration can
didates carried the State by a majority
OF 247s. SoHth Carolina holds an cleo
ton on the same day for Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary Of State,
Attorney General, Treasurer, Comp.
troller, Adjntant General, Superinten-
dent Of Education and Members Of Con-
gress. In this State there is no Liberal
ticket. The contest is between a regu-
lar Administration and a Boilers ticket.
The Administration majority in South
Carolina in 1870 for Governor was
1854. In addition to the above, cleo
tons for delegates to Congress take
place on the same day in the District Of
Columbia and Dakota Territory.

TIE CULTIVATION OF LITE.

The cultivation of jute in India has
been progressing rapidly since the close
Of the late American war, owing to the
fact that American cotton has been driv-
ing the India cotton from the English
markets; hence cotton culture in India
is decreasing at a rapid ratio. In
1862 we imported jute TO the value OF
about $4,000. In 1871 the whole
value of jute, both raw and msnufse.
tured, imported from India into the
United States was 1920, 9ss." In 1870
it had been S3,l55,27i. The increase is
thus seen to be seventy per cent. in a
single year. The exports from IRdia Of
jute, raw and manufactured, may
be now valued at about $25,0O0,0OO
per annum. 1t is raised for about
one-eighth Of the cost of cotton,
and sells for One-quarter the price-a
clear profit Of one hundred per cent. A
writer in the Agricultural Report for
1871 very truly says that II the planters
Of the cotton States divert from the
cultivation of cotton force Sufficient to
produce half a million Of bales Of jute

quent political agitations in that coun-
try, are viewed with a degree of dissatis-
faction by Russia, Germany and Aus

between the St. Paul and Pacific and

cifc northwardly from St. Cloud to St.

The reasons for suspension Of work is

To the Editor Of the Ledger;
Please state for the information Of the
Appeal psrt;anlsrsy, aud the public gen.
orally, who rray be equally ignorant OF
the iact, that the recent delay Of the
Nashville mails has been caused by. a
change Of schedule time on the Nash
vile and Decatur railroad (of which this
Office was not advised), by which the
Nashville mails are delayed at Decatur,
and was not due to the laziness, mean
ness, or crude, shutting, awkward way
of doing business " at the postofice,
Z Furthermore, that the post,ffice
folks" do not neglect ITO send letters
away BY the next train after they are
mailed"
The Superintendent of Distribution
learned of the aforesaid delay before
the Appeal tried to ascertain the
cause), and obyiated il by sending all the
Nashville mails by the Memphis and
Ohio RAILROAD. The insinuations Of the
Appeal are unjust as they are unbecom-
ing the dignity of the gentlemanly pro-
prietors. Any complaints made to the
postmaster, whether by the Appeal or
the humblest citizen Of Memphis, will.
receive respectful attention, and every
effort made to remove the cause.

Gently, the conversation took religious
turn two ministers being present., and
the introduction Of sin into the world
and the responsibility Of Adam and Eve
for the short comings of this generation
were discussed. A very liberal gentle-
man remarked that he did not believe 10
saddling our sins upon our first parents.
To this one Of the ministers assented,
but at the same time reiterated the old
story about the fall Of man. Whereupon
another, of worldly mind, remarked that
while it might not be exactly just to hold
them directly responsible, yet, if the
story as told be true, we ought certainly
put in claim for consequential damages

freight, bale-cloth, and compression OF

dollars1 sent out of the cotton States
every year to purchase gunny cloth,
and that "jute would supply the female
labor of the South, which retires from
the cotton field under the system of free
labor" The manufacture of jute in In

machinery. In the South it could be
grown and manufactured, and already
