but do say if this State asks her Northern cred
itors for indulgence, and af1rms her Willingness
to pay, they will fund the interest, and thereby
distribute the burden over three or four years,
which you are now trying to impose upon one
year. It is said our worthy Governor wants this
money collected. Read his message, and you Will
find that be distinctly desires that the debt should
first be investigated. If you conclude to levy the
tax now, you ratify all the acts of that consolda-
ted Commission before hand.
Now, am told that when the Republican party
came into the possession of this State Govern
ment in 1865 they would not touch the past obll-
cations of the State until they had inquired into
in this one particular, we can afford to follow their
example. It is my opinion it is to the interest of
the bondholders to have this investigation first,
as il will relieve the valid bonds of the suspicion
which attaches to the whole debt There are debts
nearer home which we should strive to pay first !;
and it is an unjust discrimination against our
home creditors for us to pass them by, and go out
of our way to meet foreign indebtedness, Whlch

motives or circumstances causing them, they
cannot but inspire an unfavorable impression
upon the public mind of the North. Hayes
and his Cabinet have now under considera.
ton what. steps shall be taken to call the at
tention of the Executive authorities in the
States of Mississippi and Louisiana to these
occurrences, which, though recognized as 10.
cal in their character, at the same time are
claimed to have direct connection with the
duty of the Executive authority Of the Uni
ted States, to see that the pledges which form.
ed part of the restoration of constitutional
relations between the Federal Government
and the States of the South should be carried
out The South stands upon its honor to see
that all these pledges are faithfully observed,
and the Government will, the members say,
not be Indifferent to its duty in the premises.
Republicans here say: "There is no occasion
for apprehension in the minds of the people
that these violations will be overlooked. This
subject, which is now under consideration,
will take the shape of a formal inquiry"
1t is rumored that Governor Stone has de.
clared it to be his intention to let the CHS
holm affair elbow over" without an investiga'
ton, rather than take any steps that may stir
up more angry feeling. This proposed action
of Governor Stone is generally deprecated by
the leading papers of the South.

Barnum sets out to find the lost child. The
Springfield Republican states that the idea
first occurred to Mr.. Barnum when he was in
Philadelphia two years ago, but he decided
not to countenance any condoning of the Of
fence. The idea returned to him recently,
and he opened negotiations with Mr.. Ross.
He promised to offer the reward on the con-
dition that if the boy we're recovered some ar
rangement should be made for exhibiting
him. The offer was accepted on Friday, the
family retaining the privilege Of reimbursing
Mr.. Barnum; but in no case is any other
Snowman to be allowed to exhibit the boy.
Mr.. Ross has ascertained that Mosher, one OF
the alleged abductors, wrote novel sixteen
years ago, in which the plot turned upon the
abduction of child.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

In Yorkville, Thanksgiving day was OBJ
served by nearly every body on Thursday
last. With the exception of one bar-room
and small store kept by colored citizen near
the depot, every business house in town was
closed. Divine services we're held at the
Episcopal and the Presbyterian churches.
At the former, the Rector, Rev. R. P. John
son, oficiated. At the latter, Presbyterians,
Methodists, Associate Reformed Presbyterians
and Baptists united in worship, and were ad-
dressed by Rev. W. S. Martin, pastor of
the M. E. Church, who, without the formaity
of taking regular text, delivered an, able
and entertaining discourse suited to the occa-
sion.
The colored people were generally disposed
to observe the day. Ex.Representative Mel
son Davies, who has store near the depot,
closed bis doors, and we are informed that the
only reason why services commemorative Of
the occasion we're not held at the colored
churches, was owing to the fact that sufficient
notice had not been given, and the members
generally we're not aware that such day had
been set apart by the Governor.

beyond what it was in 1878 and equal to the
great yield of 1074-but the cold weather and
the rains have retarded complaining, and a
portion of the southwest of the State is almost
literally under water. As natural conse-
quence the corn crop outside of northern Illi-
Hois is estimated at 35 per cent below the
average.
In Northern Indiana the prospects of a good
harvest are pronounced very encouraging.
In Wisconsin the farmers are in good spirits,
and expect crop that may restore them to
the prosperity that they enjoyed before the
panic of 1873. From Minnesota comes the
same pleasant story, and the best agricultural
authority in that State estimates the wheat
crop at 40, 100000 bushels. In Iowa there is
decrease in wheat production, and the State
is abandoning that cereal for corn. Nebraska
and Kansas are in dread of the grasshoppers,
but vigorous efforts are being made 70 head
them off, and in Kansas from 10 to 20 per
cent more wheat than usual has been planted.
On the whole the crop prospect in the North
west may be considered quite promising.
Sixteen Executions Ordered.
The Governor of Pennsylvania has just
issued warrants for the execution of eight col
liery murderers, known as the Molly Maguires,
in addition to four issued few weeks ago.

of the Tamaqua policeman, and against whom
the Supreme Court recently decided, will be

2lst of June-on which Thomas Munley, the
murderer of Thomas Sanger and Jas. Urens,
mining bosses, will be executed. Alexander

P. Jones, mining boss, will be hanged at
