Indiana, with his family, returned 10 new
York on Tuesday of last week, from their for.
eign tour. While absent he travelled through
England, ireland, Scotland, France, Germa-
ny and the Province of Bohemia in Austria.
He said they experienced very rough weather
during their passage homeward, and he was
much fatigued as consequence. He had
the pleasure of meeting Mr.. Tilden in Paris
on his way back, and that gentleman seemed
in good health and pleased with his visit
abroad.
Governor Hendricks has returned to his
home in Indiana, and says it is his intention
to resume the practice of law this fall. On
being interviewed, he said he had entirely lost
the run of politics in this country during his
absence, but evinced the most livel y interest
when the subject was mentioned, and ex-
pressed his intention of posting himself at the
earliest possible moment. Speaking of the
administration of President Hayes, he said
that it was difficult for him to imagine where
that gentleman would eventually land his
party.
He thought, however, that those who seem.
ed to suppose that the Administration would
capture the Democratic party, would find
themselves mistaken. 1t was his opinion,
however, that the Democratic party would do
by Mr.. Hayes as they did by Andrew John
son-sustain him so far they thought he was
right The Democratic party, he said. had
been fighting for the principle of local self
government in the South for years, and in so
far as the President carried out that doctrine
they would sustain him, because they be-
lieved it was right.

to retard the maturing of the top. crop where
it had not been destroyed by the previous
drought There has been little or no damage
by worms 10 upland cot on, but rust, rot and
storms have injured the crop very seriously,
both in quality and quantity, beating out
cotton that was open and damaging the sta:

progress by 80 correspondents, who state that

Several Of our logging camps have dis
continued work On account oI dull sale
ot logs. We look upon tho movement
as one innugemtel by tho mill COM
panivs to depress the price OF logs, so
they can secure as much of their winters
run us possible ut reduced rates. We
think loggers show wisdom by stopping
work. Ii no more logs are cut and put
i'll the water Mt present, the mills Will
need all now on hand, to carry them
through the winter even if they do not
run full time, and will be compelled to
pay iuli prices tor them. Loggers who
are forced to sell or to keep running, be-
cause behind hand, will I've sinched.
Those who can hold on, or are in a stu
alton to stop work, will loose nothing,
Let the stock on hand be worked off,
