TIE terror that has taken possession

ton by ex-senator Henderson, at St. Louis,
Of the ring having its centre in that
city, will add millions Of dollars to the
receipts OF the Treasury from the taxes
on distilled spirits, AT the same time it
is causing serious complications in quar-
ters where they we're least expected. The
indictment Of General BabcOCk by the
grand jury by the large vote Of eighteen
TO one Of the members in attendance, and
the dismissal OF ex-senator Henderson
by the Attorney General Of the United
States, arc circumstances that are creA'
ting profound attention in the country.
Every one with u particle Of national
pride must blush at these exposures.
When We find late high official in the
Treasury Department and the local OIL
oials Of the Treasury at St, Louis aiding
distillers to defraud the Government OF
millions, and the private secretary OF the
President OF the United States indicted
BY almost unanimous vote Of grand
Jury Of the vicinage, it induces the peo'

TIE CRoPs,-The report Of the depart
ment Of agriculture gives decidedly
favorable account oinearly all the Ameri-
can Crops Of 1875, so that substantial
basis Of trade and prosperity has I'M
doubtedly been secured. The produce
ton Of corn is at least a fourth greater
than the crop Of 1874, and one Of the
largest ever grown in this country. The
potato crop is extraordinary both in
quantity and quality, Tho returns from
the cotton regions indicate that the States
bordering on the Atlantic will all sho" a
reduced product, and those in the Mis-
Tissippi valley an increased yield, and
the eatire product will probably approx
innate 100000 bales. The tobacco yield
10 expected to show an increase OTIS per
cent over that Of 1874, when a partial
failure occurred. The fruit crop was
much smaller than usual, The entire
hay crop is supposed to exceed that OF
1874 in quantity by three per cent. The
buckwheat crop about equals that Of last
year.
Among the other contents Of the re-
port an article devoted to the desiccation
Of fruits and vegetables deserves atten-
ton. Several machines are described,
which are intended to overcome the diff.
culties heretofore attending efforts to dry
fruits and vegetables without subjecting
them to the loss Of any Of their constituent
parts except water The commissioner
does not assert that this object Is per.
iectly accomplished by any OF the contri-
vances referred to- but dwclls on the i'm
portance Of desiccation, inasmuch as he
estimates that at least onc.iourth Of all
fruit, and vegetables grown become "u'e.
less and perish, because there are no
means at hand for their preservation"

EVENING SESSION.
The Peer Whites Of the South,

The Peer Whites Of the South.
Huntsville (Ala.) Letter to New York Times.
In the very: lonelicst part of the forest,
we came to the cabin Of family belong,
ing to class known in the South as pooe
whites. Before the war these people
were looked upon with contempt by the
rich planters and shareholders. By the
negroes they were christened ''poor white
trash" Since then they havn't improved
their condition, still living in wild and
remote places, and bringing up large fam.
lilies of children to be as ignorant and
thriftless as they are themselves. How
these people live, or where they come
from, is often mystery to their more
prosperous neighbors. They settle on a
small patch Of land in some Out. of.the
way place, and, raising just corn enough
to sustain life, huddle together from year 8
end to years end in a wretched cabin
clumsily built Of rough pine logs. Some
times they come to the town or village
nearest to them, aud sell few quail or
. possum. With the money procured
in this way they buy supply,
Of the vilest whisky. and then return
again to their secluded homes. They
hold but little intercourse with the out
side world, and { stranger has great diff
Guilty in understanding their many out.
landish expressions. One characteristic
OF this strange class Of people must not
forget to mention. They are thoroughly
honest: AT all hours Of the day or night
traveller may pass their. huts without
rear Of detention or nolestation, and |
have met with . number of gentlemen
who tell me that they have often been
forced to spend the night in one of these
mountain cabins, and in the morning have
invariably found their valuables safe. and
untouched. The hut which speak Of
above is situated some hundred feet
from the road, and is almos: concealed by
the many trees with which it is surround.
ed. Atmy request our wagon WAS drawn
up in front Of the cabin, and L had an
opportunity Of closely inspecting it. The
walls were built Of unhewn logs, the open.
ipgs between them being filed up with
what appeared to be dry mud III the \
middle of the hut and facing the road
a low: doorway was cut, aid to the right
OF this, an opening not more than two feet !
square and half filled with piece of old
cotton cloth served as = window. It is |
unnecessary to state that the structure
contained only a single ROOM. In one
corner r tumble.downi: bed was placed,
and near this, and running along, the back
wall Of the cabin, was long bench made |

STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

ST.. PAUL, Jan. 81, 1876.
The State Horticultural Society met
this afternoon in the old court house
building, and was called to order by Tru-
man M. Smith, Esq, president of the
Society. "
A committee of three on order of bust
ness was then appointed, as follows: o.: F.
Brand, G. F. Loring and J. H. Moody.
Mr.. L. M. Ford, Secretary, reported
that he had received three or four essays
to be read at this meeting. =,
The President said there seemed to be
some conjurer in the bylaws. We are
now IN organized society, having received
charter from the last Legislature. We
had nominally a capital stock of 1926, 600,
but not a dollar or dime of that stock
had been paid in. The best thing that
could be done at this meeting would be
to open books and that those gentlemen
present should come forward and pay up
their shares. The President then
said that he had been unable to
of the members. lie had no help and
had been sick. Our worthy Secretary
had given him no help, although he had
called upon him to do so. He would be
happy if some citizens would come for
ward and volunteer to ascertain the cause.
Mr.. Ford, (Secretary,) explained what
he had been doing, but did not wish to
nave everything thrown on his shoulders.
The President, who felt considerably
exercised, paid high compliment to the
people Of Minneapolis.
The discussion here became very warm,
and Mr.. Dart, Of Owatonna, hoped the
reporters would be turned out.
Mr.. Ford really hoped that these pro-
ceedings would not be published.
The discussion then dropped, and the
President read the articles of incorpora-
ton with the constitution and by laws.
Mr.. Ford moved for the appointment Of
committees on various Subjects.
Mr.. Dart moved that the motion. lie
upon the table. Carried.
Mr.. Dart moved that this meeting work
under the old rule of 81 membership.
This motion was adopted and the Treas
urer proceeded to rake in the dollars.
The committee on order of business
then reported as to the business to be
transacted to-day and asked for further
time. Report adopted.
