The brief speech of Mr.. Foster OF
OHIO, member OF Congress from Gov,
Hayes district. delivered in the national
house on Tuesday, has attracted much
attention III Washington. as it is believed
he au:horitaiively ioreshadowed the
Southern policy OF the Hayes administra-
tion. Mr. Foster opened his remarks by
congrstulating the country on the tri'
umph of wisdom and patriotism in the
peaceable settlement ot the presidential
contest. He said that President HAYES
highest ambition will be to administer

wisely as 10 wipe away any and all
necessity or excuse for the formation OF
parties on a sectional basis and all traces
of party color lines, that thereafter and
forever we shall hear no more OF solid
South or a united North. All that will
be expected is the patriotic cooperation
OF Southern patriots in the great work OF
restoration OF the Union, the constitution
and the enforcement of the laws. In
this great work the representative men OF
the South have already distinguished
themselves for patriotism and statesman

crisis in our history"

English Crop Review.

LONDON, October 2-Ihe Marx Lane
Express, in Its weekly review of the
British corn trade, ssys: The weather TOR
the past week has been very fine, snd sp.
pearances favor an early and severe
winter. Ii is cold generally over Europe
and for the past lortright almost tree
from rain, which enabled good progress
TO be made with the harvest in the north.
During the week there have been large
shipments from Atlantic ports. The I'M
mediate effect hiss been y sudden check
to trade, buyers holding of for the
moment, but whether tins is reasonable
IN the present position and prospects OF
trade, is open to question. II is already
evident that we shall not receive the
supplies we reckoned on from other
quarters. Indis and Egypt will not do
halt what was expected. As winter comes
on the supplies from Russia will be
cut off.and there remains little TO look for
except from the Atlantic ports, and with
the winter before Us and the con-
sumption OF the country mainly on these
wheats it is hard TO believe tnst the
autumn shipments can be more than we
need. At the moment when this little
panic is ON and the liberal shipments OF
one or two weeks are imagined 10 be
more than the trade can stand, II may be
well to suggest that these shipments are
not unprecedented and TO recall the tact
that in the August OF 1874 and 1875 they
were at the rate of 10000 quarters
bar
throwR almost entirely on this source OF
supply for the winter trade IT, should not
be shaken By shipments no larger than
in former years, when our wants were
less and the sources of supply open
which are now closed. In forming this
judgment of the future shipments there
are other facts also to be Goted. The
liberal shipments OF this month
have not been effected without
driving prices upon the other side.
a change has evidently come over the
shippers, since they were so eager to sell
at low prices. Resales have been made
here daily at about SO to 54s per quarter
for winter red, and 81 to 52s for spring,
but prices in New York and Baltimore
are relatively quite above these quota
tions. This certainly does not point to
any extraordinary shipments this fall
from Atlantic ports, and any depression
caused by this tear will probably be

The Cassius N. Clay Homicide.

RICHMoND, KY, October 2.-This
morning Hon. w. e. Miller, Judge OF
the Madison County Court, thought the
circumstances in the case against Hon.
&. NJ. Clay, for killing Perry White (col-
ored), justified nothing more than war
rant for msnslsughter, and the charge
was accordingly preferred in that form.
Soon as the warrant was served on Gen.
Clay he went into open Court, and IN
the presence of the Judge and the Coun.
ty Attorney waived an examination.
Judge Miller then fixed his bail at SlO,-
600, which was promptly given, Brutus
J. Clay and James Bennett, the son and
son-in-lsy of General Clay, entering upon
the bond as his securities that be would
render himself smendsble TO the process

Madison Circuit Court. AT the meeting
OF the court at that date the charge will
be investigated by the grand jury, and II
that body finds sufficient grounds for in
dictnent he will be indicted for man.
slaughter; but from the violent character
of the negro, and the statements OF Gen.
Clay, and the little boy under ten years
of age, who alone witnessed the killing
it is ioregone conclusion that after an
investigation of the affair further pro-
ceedings will be ignored.
The verdict OF the Coroner's Jury,
which held an inquest on the dead body
of the negro to-day, reads as follows:
"We, the jury, find from the testimony
that Perry White came to his death by
a pistol shot from the hands of Csssius
Nj. Clay, on Sunday, September SOth,
said testimony being given under oath
by G. NJ. Clay, he being the only witness.
We are constrained from said evidence
to justify the said G. NJ. Clay in taking
the life of said White, and we believe he
did it in his own necessary self-defense.

The President in course of an inter-
view with Hon. j. Z. Leonard, Re-
publican member of Congress from
Louisiana, this morning remarked that
7 from what he had seen during his late
trip to the South, he believed that the
whites OF that section were really anxious
to accord the coored people their full
civil and political rights and that his
trip had strengthened him in the convic-
ton that his Southern policy would re-
dound greatly to the interest of the
blacks in whose welfare he had always
felt. and should continue to feel the deep
est interest. The President also stated
that he had lately received renewed AS
surances from leading Republicans of
their support of ais Southern policy.
1t is stated at the Treasury Depart
ment thu the reason why all the four per
cent. bonds do not appear upon the debt
statement, though actually sold and Is
sued, is because the fve-twenties which
are to be paid tor with the proceeds Of
the four per cent. bonds are not yet due,
though called. Ali calls tor fve.twenties
in consequence OF the sale OF the iouI
per cent. bonds mstured during the
present month and next month, and as
they mature the per cent. bonds will be
entered upon the debt statements and
the six per cents taken of Tie fund
ing law allows ninety days for the pay
ment of the four per cent bonds and
ninety days during which the called
bonds are not redeemsble. At the end
OF ninety days interest ceases, though
within ninety days the four per cent
bonds are sold, and they are not entered
as debt until tie fve-tweniies mature.
1t will be found in due season that the
tive-twenties off the debt statement and
the four per cents sole to redeem them
will be on it. The ten millions of four
per cents now on the debt statement were
paid Tor in coin now in the treasury for
resumption purposes.
