At the Tammany Hall celebration
in New York on the Fourth the fol-

Adams was read:
QUINCY, June %, lS77.-Augustus
Schell Esq, Grand Sachem, Columbi-
an Order-Dear SIR: 1 have the
honor to acknowledge the reception
Of your letter inviting me to join your
society in the celebration of the 4th of
July. I regret very sincerely that it
will not be in my power to attend on
that occasion.
Whilst agreeing with you in many
of the opinions expressed in your let
ter, l pray your pardon if venture
to present to your attention one SUBJ
ject which seems to me of the most
vital importance to the future welfare
If not the very salvation of our insti-
tutions. The country must not be
subjected again to the risk of another
election accomplished by fraud, if the
evil can be removed by constitution
al means. The majority Of the peo-
pie have submitted once, to their
honor-but it will not be safe to risk
such another experiment. Some
amendment Of the provision of the
constitution on the subject seems in
dispensable during the present term
Of the presidency. I trust you will
not be slow TO insist that your repre-
sentatives and friends all over the
country shall see to it that ample time
and care be given IN good season to
the preparation of such measure as
may prove acceptable to all honest
people, when it becomes their duty to
act upon 1t in their turn. Above all
let there be left no chance for repeti-
ton of fraud. The corner stone OF
the arch must be dragged out of the
mud into which IL has settled, and
and placed ON an immov6ble rock. !
do not permit myself to donbt that
this 10 the earnest desire of all the
honest men of both parties. But to
you who have suffered the most by
consequences, it devolves to take es-
pecial care that they be not repeated.
You have the means Of remedy large
ly In your hands. pray you to see
to It in good season that they may be
made effectual to save us all from the
possibility of anarchy and strife.-
There is NO better day to give out the
word than on the Fourth of July.
Very truly yours,
CHARLES Francis ADAMS.

Evidence against Brienam

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, July l2-Capt.
John Tobin, formerly resident of
California. later of ST. Louis and still
later of Springfield, will be one of
Attorney General Howard's princi-
pal witnesses to prove Brigham
1oung's personal connection with the
massacre of the Gentiles. His name
is mentioned in Lees confession; he
tells a long story which is in SUBJ
stance: that, having gained the con-
tidcnce of Brigham by aiding the
Mormon emigrants, he was appoint
ed Instructor of territorial militia,
which position he resigned because
squads of cavalry were used as aveng-
ers. Subsequently he undertook to
guide party of 80 strong, outspoken
against the Mormons, to California,
but the party was overtaken by band
of mounted Mormons, led by Brig
ham Young, Jr., and compelled to
stop under the pretense that they
were going to California to misrep-
resent the Mormons.
They finally proceeded but were
continually dogged by the Mormans,
who at length fired on them as they
were encamping at night. Three OF
the party were killed and Tobin left
for dead and the Mormons taking
their horses rode away. 60 hours af.
terward the U. S. mail wagon aud
party enronte to San Bcrnardino
took them up but two died soon after
He claims TO have important docu-
mentary evidence of plotting against

the part of Brigham Young.

Crop Prospects ana Prices

Through our contributors to oul
Crop and Weather Bureau we have
been enabled to form reasonabl,
correct opinion rs to the condition Of
the crops throughout the West. W.
find that in the latitude of Southern
Illinois, for the most part the wealth
er has been too wet for corn since
planting time, thus causing much re-
planting to be done, rather q pool
stand at last, and the weeds in man,
places to get the start Of the vigilan
farmer. This condition extends from
Ohio to Kansas, though where far,
ners had taken the necessary precau'
tion te have good seed, saved in the
fall, and well drained land, re.
ceived but little damage from the ex.
cessive rains.
Of course meadows and pastures
have grown abundantly, so that with
proper weather to cure 1t, hay will
be plenty and stock do well. Small
grain, too, has made heavy growth,
and though reported to have never
looked better, it is in great danger of
rust. No doubt cool dry weather is
the best condition of climate to insure
the desired results of q bountiful har-
vest. Small fruits are abundant, but
apples generally reported below an
average, while peaches are failure
in some localities, and promise
fair crop in others.
The great danger which threatens
corn now is extreme dry weather
which may succeed the wet. The re-
peated heavy rains have tendency
TO break down the porosity of the
soil and leave it in such condition
as to be easily effected by drought
Corn roots do not venture down into
soil saturated with water, nor does
the plant send out the innumerable
tibrous roots that it does in the dry,
mellow loan. but they all lie near the
surface of the ground, comparatively
few in number and ready to be with
cred by fow scorching days Of
drought. Nothing but thorough un-
derdrainage and culture will obviate
these disastrous results.
North of this region above describ-
ed, the condition has been quite diff
ferent as to the amount Of rain which
fell during the spring months. Up to
a recent date The weather for the most
part was drv-even too much SO in
many localities through Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Northern
Illinois, but late rains have put the
crops in a fine growing condition
Frost did much damage to the corn in
Minnesota about June 10, and previ-
Gus cold weather throughout inter-
fcred more OF less in proportion to
the quality Of the seed planted, with
the stand of corn. The cold weather,
however, while it interfered very
much with the corn crop, had the re-
deeming quality of preparing the
way for an abundant crop Of the
small grains.
On the whole, though the "grass-
hoppers" have done some damage in
localities in Minnesota and Northern
Iowa, the outlook is encouraging,
unless some unforeseen disaster should

The Highland Hardy Raspberry

A correspondent of the Fruit Re-
corder says: "This remarkable berry
has already proven the most reliable
and profitable market berry in culti-
walton. Half-acre patches, with gen.
erous treatment, have frequently paid
from five to six hundred dollars net.
The plant is entirely hardy, standing
the severest weather without protec-
tion. Mr.. Hasbrouk, of Ulster coun-
~, New York, sold his first shipment
of Highland Hardy berries, last year
at 50 cents per quart. 1t is the ear.
liest raspberry known. Mr.. Levitt,
Cane, of Ulster county, New York
received from one thousand hills, oc-
cupying less than one-fourth Of an
acre, $3.50 net. This gentleman has
now more than eight thousand hills
ofthis variety" Thus the same adds
This is the earliest hardy raspberry
we have grown, but it is not as large
or any more productive than the
Turner with u.s."

Lynch che Butcher,

A terrible tragedy occurred in Cas-
tie township, near Toledo, Tama Co.,
on Sunday morning, resulting in the
death of one man, the dangerous
wounding Of woman, and the per-
haps fatal injuries Of another man.
Martin Mishek, a Bohemian living
in that neighborhood, who has been
a terror to the entire community for
his cruelty to his family and deeds of
violence, and particularly when un-
der the influence of liquor, was the
principal actor. 1t seems that on
Sunday he and his brother-in-la law,
named Crcsick. got into a quarrel
over their drink. From words they
came to blows. Mishek undertook
to use y large butchcr-knife on Crcs-
ick, when Crcsick's wife attempted to
interfere to save her husband. She
received the knife in her breast, and
her arm was cut open from the shout.
der to the elbow. Crcsiek received a
terrible cut in the head, from which
it is thought he will not recover but
he managed TO escape and gave the
alarm. A warrant was issued for the
assailant, and Constable Charles
Whiteley, with one other man. under
took to arrest him at his house.
Whitley demanded at the window,
and that Mishek surrender. Mishek
without a word, drew u revolver,
presented it at Whitcley's breast, and
fired, killing him instantly. He then
turned on the other man and fired
four shots, but, although in close
proximity, did not hit him, the officer
escaping and giving the alarm. Sew
eral hundred persons gathered and
surrounded the house, all fully armed,
to whom he surrendered. They
placed rope about his neck, and il
was only through the most detcrmin-
ed action of the more law-abiding
that Mishek was saved from instant
lynching. He was taken to Toledo
and lodged in Jail, but long before
noon an immense mob gathered in
town, and it soon became apparent
that no power could save him if left
there. Sheriff Austin, by a little STRAIT.
egy, slipped him out of the jail and
of, nobody knows where, greatly to
the chagrin of the infuriated mob
Constable Whitley was highly-re.
spected man. and his loss is deeply
deplored, and the greatest of sympa'
thy prevails for his family. MisheE
