Governor IiIden's health.

New YORK Worlu'I
All who have had any means Of close
observation know that his general
health has improved of late years; and
Of all men who have been put in posi-
ton to meet demands upon their ply ST.
cal endurance, such as he must undergo
in the course of the next four or five
months during the canvass, and for the
next ten or twelve months II he is elect
ed, our observation does not furnish us
with one who has been better able to
encounter, without strain, such trials
and such laboIs. He is q remarkably
wise man in the care of his health, the
management Of his time and the employ
ment Of his energies. With all due aud
humble submission, therefore, to the
will of Heaven in respect to a life that
now seems, to imperfect human vision,
to be one of great importance, we say
that if Governor Tilden lives to be
chosen and TO be inaugurated measures
will have been prOpounded which have
60 received the ratification OF the ma
ton that they will have been placed be-
yond the reach of accident.

/ The report Of the com mittee on naval
Affairs hiss been prepared by Mr.. Whit
! thofte, OF Tennessee, and has received
| the assent Of the Democratic members
! of the committee. The recital Of facts is
so damaging to Secretary r )beson and
| the Republican party that minority re-
port, attempting to excuse him in some
degree, will doubtless be made. The
majority report was read to the commit
tee TO day. It will make about one hun i.
dred printed p2ges, and embraces care
fol review Of the testimony. Mr.. Whit
thoTne, computing the naval appropria-
tons, the amount ceived from mate
rial, and the present Indebtedness OF the
department, foo,s up two hundred mill
lion dollars as the amount received and
expended by the navy department. Re-
viewing the present condition of the
navy, 1t is shown by the testimony Of
Admiral Porter and other high officers
to be completely worthless and ineffi-
cient, the result of great waste and ex-
trsvagance in expanding this large sum
Of money. The next step is to show how
this occurred, namely, by electiOBeeFing
methods and practices, by using I'M
skilled labor, by purchasing unsuitable
timber which has been wasted, by ia
voritism to contractors, by frauds in
purchases, by barter and exchange in ma
terial. The report shows the several
violations of law by open pur-
chases, by bureau orders, by pri-
vate sales, by illegal purchases, by
transfers OF appropriations, by false
system Of accounts, destroying old bills
and makigg cut new ones, and by the
use Of government material for private
purposes. There sra special heads and
discussions of the abuses of the Phila-
delphia navy yard, the Norman Wizard
business, the foreign account and the
Jay Cock matter, the robbery of tn
clothing fund, and the payment Of old
and unjust claims. The statutes viola.
ted are specially cited, and the cssss CT
violation named. OGG of these viola
tons Of law, it is argued, naturally
spring q new article Of merchandise,
known as the sale of "inhdence" with
the department, and the cases of such
sale here are given, including the Cat
tells, Mortgage & Co. 10 view of the
fact that the laws thus violated do Lot
in most cases affix penalties, it is sug-
gested that the t, ,imOny be referred to
the judiciary committee to determine,
first, whether Improbable ofeDses have
been committed, and, If so, to report ar
icies of impeachment against George
NJ. Robson, and, if these offenses are
not Improbable, then to report such
additional legislation as may be required
to protect the public interests hereafter.

FORREST CITY, ARK, July Cove
have the finest prospects for cotton and
corn that I ever saw; the rains have
fallen just IS we wanted them, and at
no time during the year have We suffered
for rain. Our early corn we conside;
made, SIS no droUth could new affect il
Cotton is shoulder high, and full Of
forms, squares and bolls. Some Of US
have laid by our crops, others will finish
this week. This fall this land will flow
In milk and honey. Corn we expect to
sell at twenty five or thirty cents per
bushel. Large quantities of millet,
timothy and clover were sown last fall
and is now being harvested. Our wheat
crops were splendid. Our only draw
back is in the hog crop-the cholera is
playing havoc with that. This county
is rapidly filling up with emigrants, and
in few years will be the garden spot Of
Arkansas. Tell your saDdhill readers of
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and West
Tennessee to leave country where they
have to cultivate four acres to make one
b ale # cotton and come out here where
they can make one bale to the acre, or
fifty to sixty bushels OF corn. To show
you how cheap it is to live here, give
you few prices: Mutton, ten cents per
pound; beef, same; chickens, one dollar
and fifty cents and two dollars per
dozen; eggs, twelve and half cents per
dozen; butter, good fresh, fifteen cents
per pound; roasting ears, ten cents per
dozen; squash, tomatoes, snaps, ETC., five
cents q water-buckst full. Can you

and energetic citizens here, Captsin E.
r Knight, has taken a contrsc! from
the Southwestern construction company
to complete the Helena and Iron
Mou atain railroad from Helena to this
place. He has a good force now at
work. A contract has just been made
for iron and rolling STOCK enough to
equip that part Of the line. We have
heretofore been in doubt about the roads
ever being finished; but now that
knight has taken hold, all our doubts
vanish. He il man OF vim, and will
be certain to put it through. A boat
load of the iron will be at Helena in
ten days, and as the road is now very
near graded aud tied it will not be long
before the iron. horse will be running up
