A Dauville, Va, correspondent of q Boston

colored people. l was informed. before leaving
Boston, that the Roman priesthood were actively
at work among the colored leaders in America,
North as well as South that the black race was to
be won over TO the Catholic Church, and that the
question of caste, as il involved civil equality
before the law and religious equality in the wor-
ship of God, was the Issue upon which this work
was to be accomplished. began my investigation
of this phase of the Southern question in New

The ground ON which Stokes asks to
be pardoncd is decidedly ''cheeky'
one, being nothing less than that he has
really about served out his sentence al
ready, ard this in face of the fact that
he was sentenced only a little over a
year ago, October 20, 1873. to four
years Imprisonment. The way he fig
ures it out is certainly ingenious. In
the FIRST place, he claims that he was
really i'm. ,risoned pretty nearly two
years-to be accurate, one year,
nine months and twenty.three
days-in the police station and the
Tombs, from the tine he shot Fisk till
he was finally sentenced In the sec.
ond place, he has served in the state
prison one year, ono menth and "a
days, making two years, eleven months
and II days he has already been under
surveillance. Thirdly, under the new
Law which gives the wardens Of the
state prisons the power to grant "for
good conduct" Communication o.
from two to four months II
every year Of convict's term Of i'm
prisonmept, he considers himself en-
titled to a communication Of two months
on each Of the first two years, ana fou'
monthseach on each Of the last twt
years-in all, a whole year of from hi
four-year sentence, which, according t
his novel. style Of figuring, would leav
bat fourteen days longer that he Seall,
ought to be imprisoned. This system

FIGHT BETWEEN MINK AND A BLACK
SNAKE.-On Saturday morning last, Goth
ult., Mr.. s. Merryman Anderson, living on
the Furnace Farm" of the Hampton estate,
was a witness TO rather singular contest be-
tween q mink and q very large black snake,
over feet long. He was riding along the
road in front OF one of his wheat fields and
saw n commotion in the wheat ahead of
him, but thinking it was rabbit, paid no
attention to it. He stopped under cherry
tree to cat some cherries and while there the
noise was still continued He then rode up
to the place and saw rather singular fight
between mink and n very large black snake
His snakeship was coiled up in circle and
would now and then make spring at the
mink, who was always on the alert, and sue
cccded in avoiding the blow and would then
spring at the snake. Mr.. Anderson dis
mounted from his horse and went off to pro-
cure some stones to end the battle, and when
he returned to the place the mink had sue
ccedcd in dispatching the snake. The mink
then proceeded to drag the snake over into
the woods, and toward small stream of wa.
ter, proceeding backward by jerks, as the
snake was too heavy for him. Mr.. Ander-
son then threw stone at the mink which
struck and killed it-Io,csOnto'on Journal.

THE COMING CORN CRoP.-Thcre is every
indication that the coming crop of corn will
be the largest on record, not excepting the
great one of 1872. Many causes combine
to this end.
In the West q large quantity of wheat
was plowed up and planted with corn under
the impression that the wheat was too much
injured by the severe winter to pay, and
then in the Eastern States the prospect for
hay was so poor that wherever corn could
be planted it was put in, so that the fodder
might in some measure make up for the de-
ticiency of the hay.
1t is estimated that the acreage of corn is
fully one-fourth more than last year, and if
so this is an enormous increase. From all
sections the crop is reported as growing
finely, and with the increased acreage an
immense yield may be confidently anticipat-
cd.

BEL AIR, FRIDAY, JULY 9th, 1875.
Senator Whytc and Tammany Hall.

StiutuI VhJtc anu AhhtuiuhJ ihb
The following letter has been addressed to
the Tammany Hall Democracy by Hon. VIM.
Pinkney Whyte, in response to an invitation
to participate in the festivities of that Socie-
ty on Monday:
BALTIMORE, June 80, 1875.
nv Dear Sir:
regret that engagements, which | cannot
break, will prevent my uniting with the
Tammany Society in the celebration of July
4, proximo, to which you have invited me.
1t is good time for Democrats to rejoice
over the successes of the past year, but it is
far better time to take counsel together so
that we may not throw away the splendid
opportunity at hand for the restoration of the
country to peace and prosperity The recent
centennial celebrations have demonstrated
that brotherly kindness and that greatest of
virtues, charity, have resumed sway in the
hearts of our recently embittered fellow
countrymen, and that the sentiment of the
Northern people will tolerate no more the
enactment of Force bills, or any other DEVICES
designed for the 'herOic heatment of the
South, but that the past shall be allowed to
bury its dead, while, at least for the near fu-
ture, there shall be ian era of good feeling"
Therefore we should turn our attention away
ment acts to building up the waste places,
and by judicious legislation restore the bro
ken fortunes of the people. There can be no
substantial prosperity, however, until we get
back to q coin basis, and not only fla q time
for the resumption of specie payments, but
take the necessary steps to make us ready
for the measure at the time indicated. Any
other course is simple folly and miserable
delusion. How much nearer are we to-day
to specie payment than we were before jan
uary, 1879, was designated rs the suspicious
period for resumption? We should set our
faces, like flint, against those insidious
planks, inserted in some Democratic State
platforms, tavoring initiation of the currency.
1t Is high time for public men who wish to
bring the country out of the slough of fnan-
cial dcspond in which it is plunged, indvid-
rlly and in mass assemblages of the people,
to denounce in unmeasured terms the attempt
TO commit the great Democracy to mere pa
per money
We should get back to q tariff for revenue
only, and we must curtail the enormous APP
preparations for works of internal improve
ment (many of which are of no National in
portance,) and especially should we stop the
wasteful expenditure of the National treas
ure for ghly-decorated public buildings,
oftentimes as little ornamental as useful
When the Democratic party becomes q unit
on these questions there should be n grand
jubilee at Tammany Hall, which will recall
the days of Silas Wright, Cambreling and
that band of worthless who represented a hard
money, economical, strictconstruction Dem
ocracy, and such celebration "may l" some
day abe there TO see"
With high regard, yours truly,
VIM. PINKNEY WHITE.
