full Picture.
The yeomanry Of the country is still ready
to "holler out" as Justify as ever. "hurrah for
HAMPTON" and will aid him chcerfully in
fulfilling his pledges, promises, and obliga.
lions. He has plotted us through storms and
trlbulationS unparalleled, and unprecedent-
cd In the annals OF our history ana we are
willing yet, to entrust cur political safety to
his keeping. Notwithstanding Wizards pro-
motion to the chief Justice, at his special So
licitation. This little deviation from Home
Rule is q very trivial offence indeed to kick
up such Il dust" and eXtort complaints: cir
cumstances, doubtless justified 1t, and 1t
becomes n magnanir.ous people TO sanction
1t without n murmer.
Let Hampton alone and we venture to as
sert all will he well: His craftsmanship Is
superior to any other mar In. the State, and
he IS nat unconscious of our future prosperity
as q people. Unfortunately. He has not
vet gone aStray and acted the part of q trail
Tor. Hix heat is ierci and he knons Whnt he is
DANA. Great many newspaper writer's with
out any forcthought "pounccd upon him and
gave him bricks because he communicated
with Hayes tpresident prior to the election ;
It finally worked our for the best; that good
results accrued from 1t no sane man will de-
ny. His vision" OF sense can penetrate into
futurlty OfWtbS| SllpcT-uulllHl. We arc SOlis
to see such amount Of ingratitude manifested
publicly against our beloved COMMANDMENTS
chief in the very insipient stage of his re-
CINE. Poor encouragement to start with.
We are disposed to think Editors are too ca
ger to catch at 'Strnws" or lrifleS to make n
noise about, and exciting prejudice In the
mind of the people. 4 little more patience
and forbcarancc in their editorial capacities
would be. we immaginc, n commcndablc ac-
uuisition. Let not your rcbukes be prcIln-
ture. Hampton's policy In Recommending
Willard to the exalted position Of Chief JUS
tice, doubtless was praiseworthy, and should
be c|ountenanced and mt condemned.
Peradvcnture, our final success might be
traced back, fully. authorized or obligated
Hampton to make such a recommendation.
Willard's decision at that critical juncturc In
our strWggle in the Supreme Court was. per-
haps our sui vation, at least aided greatly the
State in being redeemed. disenthralled and
regcncrated." Willard did nothing but his
duty In deciding In Hampton's behalf, l am
we'll aware, but he could, easily, by circum.
vention done otherwise thrown his weight
in the scales against us and, and perhaps
that bird Of victory would not be, to-day,
sitting screnely pcrched upon our glorious
standard, chanting lullabics in defiance OF
the vanquished foe. Let Hampton RECON-
pcnsc him rs he deems tit, without so much
outside growing and grumbling because he
please Mr.. Everybody. o. +. II.

THE RAIDS about here, we arc told, are
making big calculations rs to the teats
they will accomplish at the election next
wear. We trust that the white disturb
crs Of the peace may not provoke VIC,
lencc. AS long as a white man is allowed
to stir up strife there will be contention
and dissatisfaction. Whenever they ire
tire their pretcntions," we will have
peace. Will they do so peaceably or do
they intend to force violence? Violence
is sure to follow whenever they malign
the whites and attempt to ALLEVIATE the ne
gr0as from us. Whenever a head of this
sort shows itself it will be only service to
ones country to cut it off. the
death of 10 Crews in Laurens there has
been no trouble in that county, and there
would be none here either, if it were not
for q few folnentcrs of strife, and if they
DO not dcsist hereafter they will be dealt
severely with.

New Hnmnshire Election.

New YORK, March IA dispatch tc
the Times from Concord this morning
says Marston's election in the First Con
gressional District is secured, but by per,
haps not more than 1000 majority. II
Marston defeats Jones then the Republi,
cans will have full delegation to Con
gress.
The HeralFs figures indicate the elec,
tion Of Marston.
CONCORD, March l4.-Latcr returns do
not change the relative vote for Cover
nor. The majority will probably be moi
less than $500 for Prescott. In the
First Congressional District 25 towns
have not been heard from. Those re.
turned give Marston l0,S79, Jones 10, AGO
The, Republicans believe Marston is elec.
ted by smallplurality. The Democrats
confidently claim the District.
A dispatch from Portsmouth claims
the Districtfor Jones by good majority.
Briggs is elected in District No. 9 by
from 900 to 1000, and Blair in the 3rd
District by from 700 to1,O0O. A large
portion Of the towns in both Districts
have not yet returned the Congress votes,
but they run in the 3rd District very
closely with the Gubernatorial vote, and
1t is probable that the amendments to the
Constitution are carried.
BoeToN, March 14.-No further returns
from New Hampshire have been re.
ceived. The result in the First Congress
sional District cannot be ascertained un.
Ill the complete returns come in.
CONCORD, March 14.-The vote OF the
State by counties in all but q towns
shows that Prescotts majority will be
5000 strong. II the remaining towns OF
the State are the same as last year the
aggregate vote will be over 1900. The
contest in the First Congressional District
is so close that it will require the official
returns to determine the result. All but
seven towns give Marston 1856, Jones
1887. Seven towns not heard from gave
Cheney, Republican, 1858; Marcy, Demo.
crNt, 97S, last year, which, If returned the
same as last spring, Marston will lead
Jones IS. As far as returned the House
stands 205 Republicans and l40 Demo.
crats. The Republican majority will be
somewhat reduced by the towns yet to be
heard from. The Senate stands s Repub.
licans and Democrats, and the Council
4 Republicans and l Democrat.

lngcrSoll on Hayes Cabinet and
Policy.

New ioRK, March 14.-COl. Robert
Ingersoll, Of Illinois, lectured tonight at
Steinway Hall, to a large audience on
Political questions and answers" Inre-
gard to the policy Of the President, the
speaker said: There must be peace be.
tween the North and South, and Presi-
dent Hayes has taken the proper and no.
BILE means for bringing about friendship.
He has joined hands Of the North and
South, and asked that hatred be buried
and friendship shine forth. In the speak.
er's opinion, the President had the per.
feet right to select his own Cabinet,
without reference TO party or politics and
all honest men will stand by him in his
actions.
The speaker then reviewed each mem.
ber OF the Cabinet, and declared himself
amply satisfied with them Individually
and collectively. If President Hayes
finds that his present policy fails he can
and will change it, but he ought to get a
lair trial. He has offered the olive branch
TO the Southern States, and let us hope
they will accept it.
The speaker concluded with brilliant
and eloquent peroration, suppIicating the
south TO join hands again with the North
and bury forever past hatred. He was
loudly applauded on finishing.

Crop Report from california.

SAN Francisco, March l4.-The crop
reports from all portions OF the interior
show but little change from the reports
two weeks ago. All over the State,
north OF San Francisco bay, the grain is in
excellent condition, and an abundant har-
vest is almost certain. In Contra Costa
county and the northern part Of San
Joaquin Valley, the prospects are good,
except on the west side Of San Josouin
river, but the loss there Is compensated
by the increased area Of reclaimed lands
put under cultivation for the first time.
The southern part Of San Joaquin Val.
ley is dried out and there will be no crop
raised, except on the irrigated lands in
Santa Clara and in the country around.
Monterey Bay the grain is in good con-
dition, except in the important distric,
otsalinas Valley, where the want Of rain
is greatly felt, thougha part Of the crop
may be harvested with good spring rains
in Los Angeloa Valley. Chances favor
fair yield with the usual spring rains.

pointed by the French Academy of Sci
ences to investigate with regard to the
PhYllopera insect'report that % districts
have been ravaged, and in many districts
poverty, privation and misery have re-.
placed atlluence. In consequence Of the
destruction Of wine culture traffic on rail.
roads and canals has diminished. The
public taxes do not yield enough to pay
for collection. Besides the damage al
ready done the districts OF Burgundy,
Champagne, Loire and Cher are now
threatened. The committee recommend
various measures for the isolation Of the
infected districts and the destruction OF
the affected vines.

Bids for the new city loan Of $4,000
were opened yesterday at the Exchange
Bank. Some Of the bids offered a half
per ntpremiumfO for the bonds. The prln.
cipal portion Of tho loan, however, re.
mains yet untaken, and will be kept open
to bidders for some days to come. The
loan, 1t will be remembered, pays Gper
cent interest, free Of city tax, and is re.
deemable after 10 and payable after 80
years.
A city Of Wheeling bond is good in.
yestment for people who havespate funds
and desire safe security. In one sense
they are preferable to government bonds,
not being liable to the fluctuations Of those
bonds in price. Those who bought United
States bonds year ago have lost much
more than whole years interest by rea.
son Of their heavy decline in price. For
instance, this morning one year ago the
Five.TwentieS Of 1868 we're quoted at 1913,
while yesterday they were sold at 113s,
sdecline Of year and half's interest in
gold. Ten.FOrties brought on the 18th
Of March, 1876, 1lsi, while yesterday
they only brought Ill, decline Of year
aud halls interest. SO that the inyes-
tor in these bonds year ago has not only
lost an amount equal to year and a half
interest, but, iHRddition, the interest he
might have received on his money had it
been invested in bond like those now
offered by the city--thatis, bond not H.
able TO much 1uctuation in price. This
would make his real loss equal to two
and half years. interest on his money;
indeed more than that; counting interest
on the premium paid for government
bonds.
The advantage in bond like those
offered by the city consists in the fact that
they seldom rise or fall in value to any
material extent. They are like money
loaned in this respect, only that they are
saier than most peoples individual paper.
They are well endorsed by city that has
one OF the smallest debts in the Union in
proportion 10 its population and wealth
and that carries its bonds with compare
tive ease.
