uAMPToN's ULTIMATUM.
ac Gives Mr. Hayes n Plain and square
Talk.
TC)incinnati Enquirer

WASHINGTON, March % He says that he wants
no Commission, and II one IL sent to the State,
he will only point to the records and tho Judg-
rnenta OF The courts TO sustain bis position ~
the legal Governor. He wants Hayes TO place
him on the same footing, with respect to the
orders Of the officer co pmapding the Federal
rces as have been issued TO the troops In Loui'
siana. He indicates that Ii such orders are is-
sued he will settle tho problem within seventy
two hours. II the troops will merely maintain
the peace not interfere with the civil functions OF
the courts, he thinks he can settle the
troubles now existing, and he proposes
to do 1t in this wise: In 1869 the Legislature
oil the state, in TIE hands OF the Radicals, passed
an ejeetnont law providing that IL any officer OF
the State held his Office unlawfully he should be
elected upon the writ OF court OF competent
jurisdiction. The law was passed for an ener-
gency, which at the time was intended to eject
certain Democratic officers who had been
counted out on the Retu ming Board plan
and refused to vacate their offices. Hampton
saws that he will act under this law. Acting
Chief Justice Willard is TO Issue the writ Of eject
ment, and place 1t in the hands of the Sheriff for
rervce. II the United states military officers re-
fuse to allow ID to be served, test is to be made
Under the statute sw such resistance is felony,
and the Sheriff can, in his discretion, call upon
an unlimited posse to sustain himself and the
dignity of the court.

A Lady i'm Palmyra Freezes Out a Tramp.
from tho Hanniba! Clipper.1


The wife Of certain minister In Palmyra has,
since the yisis OF Mrs. Tucker TO that city. pro-
fessed sanetffcation. Lat Friday a. tramp
marched into the kitchen OF the aforesaid minis
ter,s wife and demanded something to eat. The
lady, without 8 word, went and got Bible and
read 10 the tramp chapter OF Scripture. Then
she knelt down by him and prayed that
his soul might be fed with the food and
drink of everlasting life. She prayed long
and earnestly - she prayed by the hour.
Mean iue that tramp stood there, with bis arms
crossed over his stomach, wondering If she never
would get through administering to his spiritual
wants and give little attention to his temporal
wants. He was forced to conclude that she
would not. While che was yet on her knees ap-
peallnz to the Throne of Grace for mercy on bis
soul, the tramp silently and sadly stole away,
profaneiy renarking, when he reached the
street. that "such treatment might be very good
for his souI, but 1t was bad On his stomach"

The whole crop OF suger will not reach
1000 hhdS. this year. But we notice the
following shipments Of other produce in
addition to sugar, rum, and moIasses
Cocoon, s., S63b. coffee, 3I,26Iib; lime
juice, raw, 564 gallons, concentrated,
4,39l gallons /; and l,l02 cocoanuts.
The scarcity Of lnbour is much felt by
the planters, and it is of course Increased
by the system of petty proprietorship
which is becoming prevalent. There is,
therefore, an urgent call for foreign Iabour,
1t is evidently not only in St. Croix that
sugar estates ore deprecated 10 value,
for wo see that BagateIIe" estate i'll
Dominica has been purchased by a Mr.
st. HiIaire for $780, bagatcIie in
deed.
