IHE Iowa SPLIT.-The New York
Times publishes telegram of the pro
ceedings of the Iowa Republican Conven-
ton held yesterday,and says, ''it was not
an extremely harmonious body. 1t is
evident, that the party is deeply agitated
by the Presidents Southern policy, and
that there was little chance for carrying a
resolution approving it. A stormy disa.
greement was avoided by the adoption OF
non-committal platform. In this con.
nection, however, we are bound to ado
that the apparent earnestness OF opposi.
ton to Mr.. Hayes Southern policy wa:
undoubtedly stimulated by the resent
ment of many political managers regard

ABOUT TWO BANKS.

The Dry Goods bank at New York has
decided to go into liquidation. The de-
posits amount to about 100000; call
loans, discounts aud other advances, over
81, 1000; cash Oh hand and government
bonds, 100000. The bank stated in
1871 with cash capital of 81 900, ,O00and
will be able to pay the depositors in full.
The stockholders will realize about SO
cents on the dollar If no unforeseen losses
are made.
The result of the investigation into the
affairs of the Merchants bank at Mon
treal, has been the writing otl of $633, ,000
bad debts, S533, 90 of losses or securi-
ties of doubtful character, $l9S,000 losses
qy New York branches, S223.90l expens-
es attending the Operation of the Quebec
governmental loan to date. While these
amounts are large it is thought that they
are not all entirely irrecoverable. The
capital is to be reduced % per cent. and
will then be over S6,0O0,0 900, aud the
bank will still be the second largest in
e Dominion. Great confidence is ex.
pressed in the stability and operations Of
the bank.

THE High School Commencement last
night was one Of the most pleasant enter
tainments that have ever taken place in
this city. And the most marked and
agreeable feature oft was the enthusiasm
of the people at the progress and results
of our public educational system. In a
few more years we hope all opposition
to the High School will have died away,
and the whole population will be in
accord with the sentiment the GAZETTE
has often expressed that the public schools
should be made the be st schools, and
such as every citizen might be pleased to
have his child attend. Our schools are
now said by some who have great expert
cree in teaching to be superior to any
other schools in the city. The productions
read last evening by the young ladies who
graduated were well written, and were
rightly appreciated and applauded by the
immense audience present. The reci-
pients of diplomas acquitted themselves
well, and highly deserve their honors.
The entire programme of the evening
was rapidly gone through with much ease
and without a baulk or interruption,
showing that the teachers had well per-
formed their duty, and the scholars sus-
tained their deserving efforts with the
utmost credit to themselves. Certainly
every one that was present went away
pleased and convinced that the High
School was a success of which our city
may well be proud.

CORN, ONIONS AND POULTRY
HOW EvARTs, BEEcHER AND COUGH
LOSE MONEY AS FARMERS.


New YORK, May Silt has been of
late proposed 10 raise by public subscrip-
tion enough to enable Mr.. Evarts to hold
the Office of Secretary of State without
damage to his private interests.
One of the best features in any such
measure would be to abolish the Vermont
farm, which is said to exhaust the best
part of his income. He has 70 head OF
cattle, 500 sheep. l6 horses, aid % swine.
The extent of land is 500 acres. Last
year 200 tons of hay We're cut costing the
proprietor much more than double the
market price. More than 1000 bushels
of corn were raised, at an estimated loss
of so cents on a bushel, and, therefore,
ought to be of good quality. His pork
is estimated at 80 cents pound, and
chickens at 81 pair.
Beecher last year raised about $1,000
bushels of onions on his Peekskill farm.
They cost him 81 80 bushel, according
to estimate, and as the market in this city
was 81, any one can see how much he
made. Beecher can send beef to the New
York market at 80 cents a pound, and
can raise oats at as low mark as 81 a
bushel. His butter is Teckoned at 81 20
a pound and his eggs at rs cents a dozen.
He cleared $4,000 by lecturing last will
ter, and if he maintains such an income
he will be able to continue farming.
Cough lectures five times a week, his
fee being 5000. He has farm in Wor-
cester, which at one time contained l75
acres. He has no children, but his ex-
penses are very heavy, and to bring mat
tprS Ia "A Sutlu shane he sold a mart nf his
land, and reduced the farm to l25 acres,
which is as extensive as bis income will
admit. A few years ago his wife, who
was Yankee girl, undertook to raise
fancy fowls, which some say are very
profitable. She got up very nice variety
and at rather reasonable expense. for the
Shanghais did not cost more than So a
pair. The Cochin Chinas were a little
cheaper, and blntams could be rated at
from S25 to $40. After stocking the
place with these rare birds, Cough it is
said found that ifthey were to be kept up
he would "be obliged" to lecture on
Sundays as well as on week days to make
living. When it costs SIS to winter a
chicken man needs good income. The
system was, therefore, changed; the fowls
were abolished, and regular crops were
tried with decided success. As long as
Coughs rye does not cost more than 81
per bushel, and the other crops are kept
at an equally reduced rate. his present
income will enable him to live in a very
decent manner. There is nothing like a
farming life for men who have plenty of
money.-R0cheSter Democrat and Chron-
icie.

THE PRESIDENT ON THE "COLOR
LINE -

WASHINGTON, June 25.-It seems the
President has yielded with regard to Hy-
man as collector of Internal Revenue in
the Second North Carolina District, and
the Presidents idea was to give colored
man prominent Federal appointment,
but there happens to be some five hum
dred distillers of fruit wine and brandy
in the district paying handsomely into
the Treasury, and they are represented as
ohiecting and threatening TO close their
establishments if Mr.. Hayes persists
in forcing the color line on them

THE INTERNAL REVENUE
1T WILL EXCEED LAST YEARS BY So.
600, 900,

WASHING TON, June 26.-The receipts
Of internal revenue for the fiscal year,
ending the Both of June, will reach Sll9,-
100000. Last year they were Sll7,-
100000. The increase of S2,000,000 is
largely owing to the breaking up Of illicit
distilling, and to the more vigorous COL
lection of the whisky tax. The estimate
receipts for the present year was $l2),
100000. This sum the Commissioner
thinks. would have been exceeded by
about $2,0t0,000 if it had not been for
the uncertainty occasioned by the propo-
sition of Congress TO reduce the tax on
spirits. The manufacturers curtailed
their production and withdrew from bond
only such quantities as We're actually re-
quired by tie demand. This policy
pursued for two or three months, resulted
in serious loss to the revenue.
