The Electoral Commission.

Charleston IS. c. Journal of Commerce.
Bit by bit the secret history of the Elec-
toral Commission leaks out for the edifica-
ton of the public. A well-informed Wash
ington correspondent says the Republican
caucus appointed a committee consisting of
Senators Cameron, Boutwell,, j. p. Jones
Dorsey and one other, whose name is OF
recollected. to select and report the names
of three Senators whom the caucus would
nominate to serve on the Electoral Commits
sion The committee chose Messrs. Ell
munds. Morton and COnkling, bat Dorsey
insisted that Conkling was unsound as to
Louisiana and declared he would denounce
him in the caucus and in the Senate If he
should be nominated. Jones Informed Conk-
ling OF DOrsey's opposition. and Conkling
answered that he was glad to have tae in
formation. because he would not serve on
any commission which was pledged in adj
vance rs TO what its decision would be.
The committee then reported Frefinghuy sen
in place of Conkling. No doubt the trickery
and corruption which controlled the action
Of the Electoral Commission win yet come
to light. Nothing dishonest can be hidden
for any great length Of time. The murder
er may escape the gallows for 3 period of
| years but his crime j. ever before him, and
exposure aud retribution surely overtake
him in the end.

The GrasshOPPer ScOurge in Kan

eight Counties the grasshopPer ravages are
reported, in twenty-five counties of Eastern
Kansas, from Nebraska to the Indian Ter
ritory. as far west as Saline county. The
wheat growing district in Texas is also alive
with graSshoppers which threaten the de-
struction of the crop in several counties.
More than twenty counties report the hatch
ing of spring broods. There is an increase
ofarea of wheat in Texas, and the pros
poets are favorable with the exception of
grasShopper ravages. In the other cotton
States dry autumn and valuable winter
have depressed the condition OF wheat be-

The Death of Bill Arp.
Fort Worth (Texas) Democrat

AOi' P" oIeh k1eAds) Len1Ocrat-J
Bill Arp, late of Georgia, the man
who furnished the witticisms and odd
sayings which Charles II. Smith prepared
and published some years ago, was acct
dentally killed near this place Decatur,
Texas last Monday, March 5. He fell
from wagon loaded with corn, the wheels
passed over his neck, killing him instant
". When he left home in the morning
ne told his family he would never again
be permitted to enter the house alive
and, strange to say, he was within fifty
yards of the house, on his return, when
the sad accident occurred which termin-
ated so fatally. He was a remarkable
man perfectly illiterate, but replete
with original ideas and witty sayings, he
rarely ever spoke without saying some
thing pithy.

The present Archbishop Of Dublin,
the gifted author Of the work, so widely
known, Ola Study Of Words, is not i'm
very robust health, and has been for
many years apprehensive Of paralysis.
At recent dinner in Dublin, given by
the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, his
Grace sat on the right Of his hostess, the
Duchess Of Abercorn. In the midst of
the dinner the company was startled by
seeing the archbishop rise from his seat,
and still more startled to hear him ex-
claim, in a dismal ard sepulchral tone,
cit has come It has come :"
" What has come, your Grace u ca
gerly cried half dozen voices from diff
ferent parts Of the table.

twenty minutes, and find myself entirely

The Blue Laws are evidently not dead
letters in Connecticut yet. The Norwalk
authorities have decreed carriages shall
not be hired, milkmen shall not deliver
their beverage to customers, and news
boys shall not peddle the New York pa

indignant.

Foliage, Flowers and Fruit ON the

Grass Valley fOal.) Union
A singularly beautiful sight in fruit
growing is presented in the orchard of
DIR. Harris, and attracts the attention and
admiration of almost every passer by.
A large apple tree, standin9 :.-ar ms
d c' was left last autumn with the
fruit ungathereG for the birds, the Doc
tor said At this writing a large num-
Der of handsome golden colored apples
adorn the tree, while, the fragrant
white and pink blossoms seem begging for
room to start a new crop. The green
foliage, now well advanced, crown the
whole-together spectacle rarely seen
away from our favored land. II was from
this tree, in the month of April, some
years since, that a visiting friend from
Ohio gathered and ate charming fruit,
and wrote an account of the circumstance
to his friends. In due time his letter was
| answered, containing the assurance that,
though he had left his native State a
proper, truth telling man, he was now
just like the rest of the Californians, and
that his reputation in Ohio for truth was
| gone forever.

Kinds County Gazette
Twenty-six miles of this Road is now
completed, and in good working order
Trains run daily from Natchez to Fayette.
The company has floating debt of about
$4,000, and its total bonded indebted
ness is less than $31, 900 The earnings
of the Road, so far, have plid all expen-
ses and left a surplus The surplus is
being applied to the extinguishment of
the floating and mortage debts, and it is
supposed that the Indebtedness will be
entirely extinguished, in this way, within
the year 1877.
And now we have information that we
regard as entirely reliable, that the Com
pany is anxious to extend the Road
northward as rapidly as possible as far at
least as Jackson, that it may have the
advantage Of the immense carrying trade
of eastern Claiborne, western Copiah, and
Central Kinds, regions of great produc-
tive capacity, and densely populated,
and that are destitute of cheap and rapid
transportation. We also have informa-
ton that the Company propose to make
a survey, at as early a day as possible,
from Fayette, their present northern ter
minus, via Burtonton, to Utica, this
county, with view to the early construc
ton Of the Road to that point.
