NEWS CHIPS BY THE LAST MAILS.

The new French Press Bill, although
raising the state of siege in all but four or
five Departments, contains many vigorous
provisions aud restrictions.
The fighting jn the Herzegovina con.
%tinues, and great atrocities are attributed
to each party. The Austrian military
force in Dalmatia has been considerably
strengthened, and apprehensions are still
entertained that they will be marched
into the disturbed province.
At a meeting of the Historical Society,
Dublin, Mr.. Gibson, NJ. P, stated that
Ireland in June last had IS millions in
the savings banks, that is, 2 millions more
than in 1873, which was sufficient to dis
prove the assertion that Irelah~ 5 d poor
country.
The Times says that Herzegovina aud
Bosnia will never be at peace until they
shall be placed in much the same position
as the P|rincipalities and Servia, which are
already independent in all but the name.
In the Dominion of Canada there have
been 1869 failures for the first 9 months
of the current year, with an aggregate Of
liabilities amounting to 1000, 200,
The Prussian Government is about to
m proceedings for the removal
from their sees of the Bishops of Minister,
Cologne, and Treves, on account Of DISC
bedience to the State laws.
A Royal order has been given to the
Generals commanding in the North of
Spain not to receive any communication
from Don Carlos except one of absolute
submission.
The New York papers declare that
there was no ground for expecting that
any warlike measures would ensue from
the recent diplomatic correspondence be-
tween the United States and Spain.
The Times New York correspondent
says that the recent elections in New
York were so totally unexpected that
they have given the friends of honest
municipal government great encourage
ment. Speaking of the elections in all
the states, he says "a glance at the
election returns, with a knowledge of the
principles that entered into the contest,
will show that the Initiation dogma has
been defeated at all points, and will have
to be abandoned. The Democrats must
now adopt some new expedient to win
popularity. No one need now fear that
the Presidents Resumption policy will be
interfered with. The returns also show
that the chances in the Presidential con-
test of 1876 will decidedly favour the
Republicans, although it will be very
close, and probably bitter. A bad siga
is developing in the tendency of all the
Northern States to range themselves on one
side, and a. the Southern States on the
other. There is also SOM talk of a revival

When the Bazaar for the purpose of
paying off the remaining debt due on the
rebuilding of st, Johns's Church and Sun
day School House was first advertised,
there must have been, we think, a good
deal of misgiving among its promoters as
to the suitableness of the present time for
it. Indeed we heard it distinctly asserted
on more than one occasion that it must be
a failure. The misgivings, if they existed,
have not been justified by the result. The
sanguine band of ladies who got it up,
(and if they were not sanguine their
"pluck" was all the g%reater) have carried
it through to a most successful issue.
There was a very large collection of beau.
tltul articles, and we are assured that not
only was the whole amount raised which
was required to clear the debt on the two
buildings mentioned, but there is even
an overplus.-It is said that the actual
clearance by this Bazaar is not far
short Of fourteen hundred dollars. This
result is, to say the least, marvellous.
We heartily congratulate the Rector
of st, Johns Church and his staff of
lady workers on their success.

Political Notes.

The subdued air with which the Democratic
journals Of Pennsylvania speak OF the action OF
the Republican Convention would seem to indi-
cate that they bad been suddenly deprived of a
very szable and esteemed bone.-N. \.
Tribune
The Republicans OF Ohio meet in State Con-
yention tomorrow, June 2nd. Judge Taft, of
Cincinnati, Id pretty certain to be nominated for
Governor, and there seems to be warm conf
dence amongst Republicans of their ability to
elect him.
Said Alexander H. Stephens, in recent
speech at Sparta, Ga General Grant Is the
best man towards the South that ever drew a
sword against us better than General Blair"
One Of Governors Tildens famous reform 4"
propositions which failed of adoption by the
New York Legislature WAS the empowering him
TO appoint five railroad commissioners in each
county in New York at an annual salary of S5,-
900 each. That little arrangement, fully car
rled out, would have given three hundred men
snug berths, and would have cost the people
who foot the bills just Il, 100000.
We believe that this Pennsylvanis resolution
expresses the sentiment OF 90 out of every 100
citizens who vote the Republican ticket. 1t is In
no sense directed against Gen. Grant, who was
heartily endorsed by the same Convention which
adopted it. Gen Grants public services, and
his successful administration OF the Govern
ment during two terms, divest this resolution OF
every suspicion that was aimed at him. -Cticd-

Drunkenness and Crime In Liverpool

DFunken,aess and Crime In Liverpool.
Dr,lpkeness and crime have attained such
alarming proportions in Liverpool, and the auth
orites make such slight effort for their suppress
sion, TINT the citizena are taking the matter in
hand. Amemorial signed by $500 ratepayers,
appealing to the Mayor for towns meeting to
deliberate upon the question, was entirely dis
regarded; and the committee having the mater
in charge, failing to obtain in this way an ex-
preston of the popular opinion, un-
dertook to make thorough canvass
of the city, and ascertain the indi-
vidual opinions of the citizens. The results of
che canvass have just been published and show
it to have been remarkably faithful and COM
plete Out OF the 6S,S79 householders in the
borough, returns were received from 5l,Sl3.
Four questions were put to each, viz : Are you
in favor Of effective control Of puhlic houses and
beer houses by an adequate stan OF inspectors
Are you in favor of lessening the number OF
houses especially by withdrawal Of
licenses after convictions? Are you
in favor of shortening the hours
OF sale Are you in favor of entire Sun
day closing? The answers to the question,
were as follows: To the first, Yes" A.079 I;
mo" 6633. To the second, 'fee,' 6,79I /;
"No," 4,Os7. To the third, 'Yes," -. s57 No"

unAnimity of sentiment, which the authorities
can hardly afford to disregard.

SHALL WE BELIEVE THE PRESIDENTS
WORDs

That class of newspapers which accused the
President of q purpose to nominate and elect
himself for another term are not satisfied with
his letter to General White. OF course not. II
WAS not to be expected that they would be.
Their policy is to assail the President, right or
wrong, to misrepresent, to distort all his words
and acts. Nothing that he could have said, how
ever distinct, however positive, would have ex-
tortsd from them candid voice Of approval.
But we Apprehend that the American people
have faith in the Presidents probity. They do
not call him liar. We take it they will look at
= paragraph near the end Of his letter and accept
it's language at the full value Of every word. He
says
.T am not, nor. have ever been candidate
for denomination. would not accept nom-
nation if it were rendered unless 1t should come
under such circumstan ces as to make it an i'm
perative duty-circumstances not likely to
arise"
II President Grant is double dealer, shut
fer, prevsricstor, then this may mean, as his
accusers maintain, that he still hopes and in
tends to secure third term Of office, but unless
he is such character it cannot mean any such
thing. IL is plainly and distinctly stated. Any
child can understand it He says he is not a
candidate for denomination, has not been such
csndidste and. would not accept the renomi-
nation, unless it should come under such cir
cumstances as to mako it an imperative duty.
And those circumstances he considers not likely
to arise.
So brave, 30 true,so careful of his utterances,
General Grants word before the world stands
as high and as unsullied as that of any other
man in it. His statement will be taken to mean
Just what it expresses. 1t will be taken by the
American people at its full measure of value.
1t settles the "third term" babble. Hereafter
the newspapers whose darling object in life is to
injure "Grant' will be unable to secure hear
ing before the mass OF the people on that ex-
ploded charge.

The EDITORIAL Excursion,

Arrangements are now nearly perfected for
the excursion Of the Peninsular editors by
Lewes to New York, and return to Philadelphia,
on the 18th, 10th, and 18th Of June They are
such, we think, as TO assure very pleasant trip.
We observe that one or two Of tho Western
Shore Of Maryland papers are canyassing the
practicability OF uniting their excursion, (the
Maryland Association and that of the peninsu-
lar Association. Unless they can join the latter
which would be very pleasant to US, of course
there seems now scarcely time to arrange such

The Grasshoppers in virginia.

The Stsunton Virginian understands that grass.
hoppers have made their appearance in compar-
anvely large numbers in some sections OF Au-
gusta county, and have begun the work Of de-
struction with appetite that bids fair to de-
your grass, grain and foliage. The yirginian
says the indications point to very small harvest
this year, and there is q general apprehension OF
q great falling of in the corn crop.

Business in New York.

The New York Tribune says revival Of trade
in that city is manifest. With the warmth OF
spring it declares there has come a rapid de-
velopment OF retail business and leading houses
find their sales much exceeding those Of May of
last year. In fact the general testimony is that
the spring trade may put quietus on the cry Of
hard times"

Farming in Holland,


The trade Of Holland is chiefly con-
fined to agricultural products and fish
The wide pastures Of the island of
Texcl feed 1000 horned cattle, 1000
horses, and $4,000 sheep which are
celebrated throughout Europe. Every
year 1900 Of the last are exported,
and the quarterly fair is very pic
turesque, when these focks of sheep
and lambs are shipped off to the CON
tincnt. Through the basins of Har-
lingcn, the port of FricsIand, pass oxen
and sheep, pigs and fowl, with noun
tains Of cheese, fruits and eggs for this
country; here resort the provision
dealers Of London, to carry away but
ter barrels, which are piled up on the
docks like cannon balls in an arsenal.
The canals are filled with heavy look
ing tails, or market beats, which bring
the good things Of the country down
to the port. Flax is a very important
article Of cultivation in FricsIand; the
market Of Dokkum is one Of the
largest in Europe. The chief houses
Of Germany, France and England
have agents in this little town. The
soil IS incredibly rich; and the peasants
are well of; and there are few farmers
who do not own some property in ad-
dition to the land they rent. 1t is
rarely indeed that a tenant is turned
out of his farm; families hold them for
centuries, yet, the lease is only for five
or seven years, and STIMULATES how many
head of cattle are to be fed on the
meadow, and how much manure is to
laid on each acre. Thus the soil is
kept up to wonderful state Of fer
tility.-ChambcrS Journal.

A VERY ANCIENT WALL IN MIssEs-
sIPPI-About eighteen miles from Port
Gibson, and one mile from Brandvwine
Springs, on the place Of Mr.. O'Quin,
the existence Of a great number of
blocks of cut-stonc has been known for
an indefinite time, and the people in
the ncighhorhood have them for props
for their houses. Mr.. James Gage,
Jr. went out there Il few days ago to ex-
plorc, and had aspccimen stone brought
into town. 1t is about three feet long
by about twenty inches square, resem-
bling in shape a bar of soap. 1t is
probably Il native sandstone. Mr..
Gage took this block himself from be-
meath the roots of large pine tree.
1t formed a portion of a wall about
twenty feet broad on top, which Mr..
Gage traced for Il distance of $50 yards.
The inference that one would naturally
draw from this superficial view is that
this must have been city wall, but
deep exploration might show it to be
portion of a fort, temple or other
building. Anyway, Its antiquity Is
probably immense, antc-dating the his
tory of the red men-POJt Gibson
