According to some of Tire Ohio papers there IL
trouble ahead for Gen. Garfield in his district.
thor gh il is strongly republican and he has re-
ceived the regular nomination. a dispatch to
the Cleveland Herald says:
"For some time a rumOr has been prevalent
that the anti Garfield men OF this district pro-
pose holding boilers convention, and take
such action as they consider advisable in the
approaching contest. Their cry Is anything to
beat Garfield Within day or two the project
seems TO have taken definite form, and a call,
said 70 have the support OF at least fifteen hum
dred republicans opposed to the reelection of
Gen. GARFIELD, Is to be issued for a convention,

The President and the southern
TrOnbles

The Long Branch correspondent Of the New
York herald writes that since the publication
OF the Instructions to Secretary Belknap aud
the letter of Attorney General Williams, Presi-
dent Grant has expressed the apprehension that
his position IN relation to the southern disturb
ances may be misunderstood. The correspond
ent says:
Z" He stated last evening that his Intention is
simply to allow such precautionary measures to
be adopted in the location OF United States
troops, &c, under the advice of the Attorney
General, as will afford facilities for the prompt
and effectuai suppression of any instruction
with which q state government may be unable
to cope. and insure the observance of the laws
of the United States. He denies that the Attor-
ney General possesses snv authority beyond
this, and repudiates the idea of the use of
federal troops in any state pending the cleo
tons, unless their services are absolutely neces-
ssry to the preservation Of the peace, and then
only within the limits OF the Constitution and
the laws"

Present appearances indicate that Hon. B. G.
Harris will not be successful in his aspirations
for the democratic nomination Cor Congress in
the 5th Maryland district at the primary
meetings on Saturday, we understand, that
Leonardtown district, his own home, went
against him by vote of two to one. Charlotte
Hall district also went against him, and in
favor OF Jameson, who win probably be the
lucky man on the democratic side. On the re-
publican side, we are informed, Colonel s. T.
Suit confidently expects the nomination, and
feels certain Of bis election If nominated.

The Capital, without the formslity OF being
interviewed, gives its views off-hand in regard
TO our future municipality. II SAYS:
"We are now possessed OF the best form of
government under the constitution that can be
given the District of Columbia. That much
abused and often amended instrument makes
the government Of the United States the gov
eminent of the District, aud the fathers who
framed the charter, and the earlier law makers
who organized under 1t, gave the District pre-
Ciseiy what We have now: a commission ap
POINTED by the President and confirmed by the
Senate of the United States. This is the safest
and pest form for US. Congress enscts our laws,
the President executes them, while the judi
ciary OF the general government Furnishes
wrong doors for their violations.
This is the constitution Of the United States as
construed by the Supreme Court, and there Is
no escape save by further amendment.
The corner groceries here are hungry. They
clsmor for somebody to elect, as they will then
have somebody to pay them. They cry aloud
against the despotism that prohibits man yot-
ing for constable or councilman. For less
than this william Tell shot early pippins from
youthful heads and sent arrows to the hearts OF
tyIants- The corner groceries are erect. Their
red osed and black-faced sdherents are shout
ing the battle cry of freedom, "Give us plum
der or give US death" And so the politicians
weaken, sId compromises are talked of, which
probably Congress will carry into effect. Our
more thoughtful and responsible citizens had
better look TO il. Let Us keep things as they are
and we will be safe."
On The other hand. FOTUsy'S Sunday Chronicle
is out hotly against the Commissionership form
OF government, though opposing, with the Capt
tai, 'the folly Of suffrage" Ii gays in this con-
rectioD:
"Tbe committee have, therefore, decided to
recommend that the business of the District
snall, by law, be vested in the departmets of
the government appropriate 20 the nature of
the business required to be attended to, the
whole subject 10 be under the direction of Con-
gresss through District bill each year. 1t
would seem that under such q law, operating
under the machinery 70 be provided by the re-
port, all financial affairs of the District will be
under the direction of the Secretary of the
Treasury; that the judicial business of the Dis
trict will be under the Department OF Justice,
and that improvements. &C., will be made
under the direction and responsibility of either
the Interior Department or the War Depart
ment, with its engineer. The right, or rather
the folly, OF suffrage will be abrogated, except.
ing so far as probably TO allow the people to
choose board Of appraisers or appeal to de-
ctCe questions OF assessment and taxes, but this
point has not been finally determined. The
other Gestures named are pretty generally
agreed upon. This We have from one OF the
active members of the cOmmittee-a Senator
who has always taken the most lively and earn
est interest in our welfare, and, we are happy
say, whose conclusions on all questions are
generally acceptable TO Congress-"

THE CROPS IN AUGUsTA.-Farmers
from every part of the county, Long Glade
South River, Middlebrook and Greenvllle
say that the wheat crop is finer than it has
been for years. The winter and spring
have been, except the last three weeks
very favorable to farming and an unusual
activity has been displayed, and the aver
age of all crops is larger than the average
and much larger than last years crop. The
oats are doing finely. The bad weather
has interfered with corn planting All
this is also true Of large portion OF Rock
bridge and Rockingham counties.

Snow IN SPRINe.-The two inches Of
snow that fell last Tuesday night brings
up the remembrance of other SHOWS that
have occurred as late and later in the
Spring. On the 5th of May, 1851, snow
fell all day between here and Winchester,
and the next day the ground in the Allie
ghanies was frozen as hard as in mid-win-
ter. Snow fell here ON the 18th of April,
1858, and on the 18th Of April, 1861, the
day on which Lincoln issued his proclama-
ton for $4,000 troops, snow fell to the
depth of four inches. On the oath of
April, 1862, there was both rain and snow.
On the 18th of April, 1854, snow fell here
and on the 18th of April, 1870, snow fell
to the depth of three feet on Sewell's
Mountain, in Fayette county, W. Va, and
it's weight broke the trees to such an ex-
tent as to render the roads impossible for
several weeks. The snow which fell here
Tuesday night rapidly disappeared under
the warm sun Wednesday, but during the
evening a north wind sprung up and the
night was so cold that in still places ice an
eighth Of an inch thick was formed.
