OUR WOODNlLLE LETTER.

WooDv1LLE Miss, July 10th 1877.
Mr.. Editor. Friday Evening
June Goth, the exercises OF the
Woodville Female Seminary closed
with q grand concert. The at
tendance was large, filling the
spacious hall Of the seminary to
overhowing.
The exercises were Of a highly
interesting character, rendered
doubly so by the absence OF that
monotony which usually marks
such exhibitions.
Music, dialogues and recitations
furnished a variety which kept
every one an interested listener
from beginning to end. Both the

delivered the annual address. To
say that it was grand in conception,
diction and delivery hardly does it
justice. It was a mastery aAd
scholarly production and was lis
tened to with profound attention.
The Trustees have very wisely
rc-eIected Mrs. Walker Principal
for the ensuing year. The school
will open on the 18th Of Sept. un-
der brighter auspices than ever
before. Yours truly,

More Deadly than the BulAt.-
The London Lar Get states that aur>
ing the Crimenan campaign of one
year and half, 35l 900 men were
buried in tho District of Taurida,
which includes tho Crimea. The
Russians lost 10000 soldiers ; the
English, French and Turks 1907
900, and there were IS, 900 Tartar
victims. OF this total, 324: 500
were inferred in the Crimea, in
Gliding 100000 in the neighhor-
hood of Scbastopol. Those killed
in battle were but 10000, allows
ing an ,qua! unmber for the losses
from wonds, $4,000 must have
succumbed from disease. The
deaths Of sick pesons sent away
from the seat of war were about
60 900 more, which makes the
number OF deaths from the Crimcan
campaign alone over 40 600. 1t
| Will be seen from the above caIcu-
|.lation that out Of some 4Ol 900
soldiers who succumbed during the
Crimean campaign, 80 eco only
we're actually killed in battle, some
800, 900 dying from disease.

HAYES AND MORTON.

It is said that the President is very
much delighted with the accession OF
Morton to the administration party.
He regards the success Of his policy as
now assured. The Senate will support
it. That is all it requires.
It is true that the Indiana senate
the policy while he supports
it; but Mr.. Hayes cares nothing for
that. 1t is the support of the great
Apostle of the bloody shirt that he
wants, and the motives which impel
him are as dust in the balance. The
fact is, that beth Morton and the
President understand that they have a
relentless enemy in Blaine. He is too
much for either of them taken singly,
and may prove a match for both. But
their safety if obtainable at all lies in
united forces. For this purpose the
present treaty offensive and defensive,
has been made. Morton wants to he
President. Once he hoped to secure
his ends through the medium of the
bloody shirt of which he may be said
to be the original manufacturer and
patentee. But the gentleman from
Maine stepped in and took the shirt
and the patent without 30 much as
SAYING: "By your leave, sir" He left
Morton bankrupt in capital and infiu-
ence. He was stranded on a dry
beach. Or, like a political Ishmalite,
he was wandering aimlessly. Just at
this precarious moment the President
stepped in with his Southern policy.
The Radicals, under the leadership Of
Blaine, took issue with it with rancor-
Gus fierceness. Morton had nothing TO
do but to accept it. He had no other
alternative. But to do this his re-
treat from the bitter partisan position
he had 50 long maintained had to Ike
gracefully effected. His recently pub
lished letter was the medium selected.
1t opens the avenue Of escape. and
Morton will 60 into the Senate in
October the leader of the COnserva-
tive Republicans.
OF course, it will seem strange to
those who have so long heard his war
cry on the other side. 1t will he

there are more things in Republican
politics than was ever dreamed of in
honest peoples philosophy. In the
meantime, it will be refreshing to
see conservative Southern Democrats
acting under the leadership of Morton.

that ancient miracle that was talked

CONDITION OF TRADE.

It is to be expected that for the
next few weeks the volume Of trade
will greatly diminish in all parts Of
the country. The season is 50 far ad-
vanced that the spring business is over,
and although there is fair amount Of
goods in distribution at the CONNER
cial centers. the disposition to refrain
from new ventures until it can be seen
how the crops are going to turn out Ia
everywhere apparent. This is partic-
ularly the case over the Western coun-
try. The continued-almost uninter.
rupted-wet weather Of the last month
has exercised an unfavorable influence
on the speculative activity Of the grain
and provision markets. by sending
of all kinds of country produce up to
the highest points. When oil this
has been said, however, there Is still
an ample margin left for congratula-
ton that prospects are no worse. if no
better, than they are, and also antici-
patious of . good fall trade.
We gather from our exchanges that
these conditions prevail in nearly
every part of the country. At Bos.
ton. the dry goods market has the
same duh tone that has characterized
it since the first Of April. Even the
movement in print cloths seems to
have subssded for the moment, and
what little encouragement the market
received from that activity has now
been lost. On the other hand, the
boot and shoe trade continues to gath.
