STEALINGS.

The race between Stone n Ham
mond for 81 1000 a side, came off last
Monday at Humboldt Wells. Stone
stripped to the buff for the contest,
wearing nothing but a cloth round
the loins and a pair of shoes. Ham
mond wore draNers and stockings,
but no shoes. The first fifty yards
was run in four seconds, and the en-
tire distance-one hundred yards-in
nine and three-quarter seconds. The
judges declared the race a tie, though
Hammond was supposed to be a few
inches ahead at the outcome. The
greatest excitement prevailed, and bet
ting was quite lively. The first fifty
yards was made in what is supposed
to be the fastest time On record. They
are to run the ace over again.
Several of the police force CT Vir-
ginia made a raid on the Migrants last
Monday night, and gathered eleven
into the fold at the City Jail. Many of
the. n were highly indignant and pro-
tested that it was a put-up game on
them by some enemy. Very likely
Just so! 1t was a terrible thing for
some to be locked up; but as Migrants
are not allowed hail, they had to swal-
low the bitter pill. One of the Singh
lar features OF vagrancy is, that many
are very respectfully connected. Any
n dispo>ed to i~noralize, a draw in
~ferences in regard to the benefit OF a
good easy start in life.
A heather Chinee has been engaged

market men have noted a most un-

part of these fish, leading them to eat

some of the pieces found weighing
more than the fish themselves. All
Sin don't know how the iron came in
the fish, and it issupposed they flop up
out of the streams and swim along the
railroads for their meals.

SEARCH GREAT RACE.

The unprecedented time made at
Lexington, Kentucky, by the three
year-old horse Searcher, has already
been mentioned in our dispatches.
There we're three horses started
Light Coin, Misfortune and Searcher.
Under the conditions of tho race,
Searcher carried ninety pounds, Mis-
fortune ninety-four pounds, and Light
Coin seventy-seven pounds. Searcher
or was largely the favorite in the
pools, selling for $lO5, while Misfor-
tune brought $56, and Light Coin $50:
When all was in readiness for the
race-the judges and timers in their
places and the riders up-the horses
made ready to start. The fayorite,
having gone up the stretch a piece
came down the line in a run.
As he passed the others he
jumped out in a run and imme-
diately the drum was tapped,
and off they went. The favorite went
at a terrific rate round the turn, leading
Misfortune by several lengths and
leaving Light Coin far behind. He
never slackened pace but under u
steady pull bore away past the first
quarter pole and down the back
stretch, his jockey being unable to
check him in his mad career. The
first half-mile pole vas passed in 1871
seconds. Going up the hill he in
creased his lead under a steady pull,
and coming down the homestretch he
seemed to slacken pace, though run
ming at a terrific rate. Observing this
the spectators shouted. "Go on, &c
on!" The jockey looked to see where
the other horses were, while the crowd
shouted "Shut 'em out, shut 'em out!''
Then the jockey gave Searcher the
rein, and he came on ahead gallantly
passing under the string just in time
to shut out Misfortune, who was com
ing along calamity under whip and
spur, and in another jump or two
would have saved her distance. LighI
Coin was away back, lettering by the
wayside. Searcher made the mile in
the unprecedented time Of 1:4lA. The
first half mile was made in 4SX sec
onds, and the last halt In 53A seconds

While resolving "that the distinguish

been added that of the capable and iu-
dicious statesman, entities President
Grant to the gratitude of his country
men," it is quite evident that the Re-

declares "that the observance of Wash

Ponder we'll these astounding figures.
Over fifty millions, and yet the same
scaiawags and thieves who wrought
all of this ruin were, by the direct or
der Of President Grant, backed up and

The committee declare that "a large
portion of the public debt has arisen
from extravaganza, profiigacy and
misuse of the of the State;
that as to all that portion created since
1865, the State did not realize over fifty
cents on the dollar, nor was the amount
realized expended for the benefit OF
the State to the extent of more than
one-half; in other words the State has
not been actually benefited in an
amount exceeding one-fourth of the
delft created, nor to an amount ex-
ceeding one-half Of the taxes collected
since 1865. The entire balance, say
one-half of all the taxes and three
fourths of all the present debt have
been squandered or done worse with
by the administration Of the govern
anent since that date"
So far a we know, this report is nom
partisan, and we are bound to accept
1t therefore as a truthful picture of the
public finances. As such, it sufficient.
ly explains the present lamentable
condition of the State. Capitalists
have ceased to seek investments within
its borders, and people who had money
already invested are saving what they
can from the wreck and transferring
themselves to other sections where the
burthens Of maintaining "govern.
ment'' are less oppressive. New Or

distinction Of the commercial en-
porium Of the South, may be said Ia
be literally whiting away under the
systematic robbery to which it is a
prey, and most of the great interests
which gather about it are experiencing
. corresponding depression.

change for the better should occur un-
I'll the management of affairs is placed

Louisiana at present would seem to
be testing the problem how long q
State can sustain the regular forms Of
respectable government and yet be on
the verge of bankruptcy and decay; or
to put the proposition in another If not
more correct form, how long a plum

its civil organism when the plumber

needed credit to sustain it. From

This morning a dispatch was received
from Mahony City stating that large
crowds of men from Hazelton and vi
entity arrived at Mahony City this
morning, compelling all to go with
them and stop working the mines
that had resumed work since Monday
last. About one thousand men are
now marching from cOlliery to colliery
compelling the miners TO suspend
work. The have visited Silliman's,
Steel's Leutz' and Boeman's collieries.
Boeman's miners stopped work on ac-
count Of the refusal Of an advance in
wages. Troops have been applied for.
At $3.50 o'clock to-day it was reported
that only part of Boeman and Leutz'
men had stopped work. The mob
was then OIL its way to Hartford col

October Report of the Agri
cultural Bureau

The digest of statistical returns
to the Department of Agriculture for
the past month shows an increased
production of wheat, so to 70 pei
cent. in the Southern States The
crops of the prairie and Pacific
coast States were short. The total
crop is estimated at 800, O0O,0 600
bushels. That from the South is
classed with the best quality pro-
duced.
The average statistics of the corn
yield is above the standard of good
condition, noticeably iii the South,
but the general average is reported
good
The rye crop Of the year lalls
short of that of 1874, which was an
average one. The oat crop is five
per cent. greater than in 1874.
An Improvement in the condition
of cotton during the past month
is indicated. Taking 4 survey OF
the whole field, the reduction Of con
dition since the September returns
is an undoubted fact, though the
depreciation is slight. The harvest
has been retarded in the Mississippi
Valley by an unusual amount of
sickness among the laborers. In
the State of Mississippi there has
been some loss of time on account
of the political elections. AS com
pared with the October returns OF
last year, crop prospects are worse
in South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida, but decidedly better in all
the States from Alabama Westward.
The conditioner tobacco, on the
whole, is 2 per cent. above average.
The New England crop is unusually
fine, Massachusetts, being IA per
cent. and Connecticut 10 per cent.
above average. OF the Middle
States, New York is per cent. and
Pennsylvania 10 per cent. above
average. The great central tobacco
regio n-including Maryland, 100:
Virginia, los; west Virginia 9S; N.
Carolina, los; Kentucky, 1I6; and
Tennessee, 95-will, on the whole,
realize an unusual crop, though in
some counties injuries from frost
and other untoward influences are
complained of. The season has
been mostly very favorable both for
the maturing and curing of the
plants.-American.
