The Russian Squadron on ,he Pacific


The Pail Mall Gazette says: A few
weeks ago Mr. Ward Hunt raised Il
laugh Ia the house OF commons by an-
swerlng, In reply tOa question Of Cap
tain Bedford Pim's with reference 10
the presence Of Russian squadron on
the Pacific coat OF North America,
that " consisted only II three small
cOryeltes. A correspondent ot the
Army and Navy Gazette has lately
pointed out, ana our own information
confirms his statement, that In addl-
ton 10 three heavily-hrned steam cor
vettes, each manned by two hundred
or two hundred aud lifty men, there
aro three small but useful steam sloops,
all lying together some thirty miles
north OF San francisco. These Rus
sian vessels haYe been in their present
position for upwards Of two months,
and according 20 the officers, were
awaiting the arrival OF four more cor
vettes. IL IL added the whole squadron
IL meant for an attack on VuncOuver's
Island, ~ well IA 10 prey on British
shipping, In the event OF the outbreak
of war between England and Russia.

scarcely he c0ntended IN this instance
that the ships Of war have been sent to
San Francisco from the Amoor 20 pro.
tect Russian interests or TO avoid the
overwhelming strength OF the Turkish
fleet In the Mediterranean and Black
Sea. Our own force on this Pacific
station II VIGOROUSLY weak until the
arrival Of the shah; and, il Russia has
MI along counted upon England's hos
tility, sooner or later, TO her settled
plan Of attack In Europe and ASIA II IL
at least u convenient coincidence for
her that probably In no other part Of
world could 80 much damage be done
to British commerce in short time by
few smart vessels as In the Pacific
ocean. But then there have been
good many convenient condolences
with respect to Russian policy OF late.

NEARLY all the papers in the state
have labored on the gubernatorial
question already. Manyiof the papers
of our section of Texas proceed on tho
theory that either Mills or Throcllmor>
ton will be urged before the next con
vention. We have heard no word, nor
have had the slightest intimation from
either. or from any friend of the gems
tlemen named, that they entertain
such views themselves, or would even
consent to such use of their names.
Any expressed or implied rivalry be.
tween the friends of either would now
be manifestly premature out of place,
and unseemly. Let us hear no more
of it nor do we believe we will, if the
friends Of the parties will observe the
rules of propriety, and exercise only
a m oderate degree of patience and for
bearance.

The grasshopper panic is nearly over
and now we can look about and esti.
mate losses. From all we can gather
Dallas county suffered more than any
other in this region, at least there has
been more complaint here than else
where. Many of the fields in this
county which had been rated as badly
damaged turn out much better than
was expected The principal injury has
fallen upon those farms situated in or
near the timber, and upon water courses
Confidence has been very greatly re-
stored since the fight of the hoppers
commenced, and now every back is
bent in the manly effort to redeem lost
time. The HERALD is well pleased that
ii used its best effort all the time to
guard against the panic becoming gen
eral, or dangerous to the business in
terests Of the county, both agricultural
and mercantile.

be worth and How Much We Will
Have to Export.


The aggregate corn crop of tho
United States for 1876 was in round
numbers l,300,OO0,000 bushels. The
crop for 1877 is estimated at larger
acreage planted. We may safely esti-
mate this years crop at 500, 000,0 600
bushels. Eight cents per bnshel on
this amount would represent Sl20, 0OO,-
600. But it is also well to remember
that 10000 900 home consumers will
have to pay war prices for their supply,
and In this connection il is interesting
to look ut last years average prices.
Massachusetts, paid the highest price,
50 cents per bushel, and Kansas the
lowest, % cents. The average between
these two figures would show the gem
eral price OF corn throughout the coun-
try. But suppose we pla il at 40
cents, IL represents money value of
$500, 900 on production of ST.
500, 600, 900 bushels. Should the war
become general in Europe, there will
be demand for the expectation of all
the corn we can spare, and the prices
would necessarily go up to a high figs
ure.

HAYES, FIRST VISIT TO GRANT.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Herald gives graphic de-
.crlption OF the first meeting Of Cover.
nor Hayes aud President Grant at the
white house. Contrary to the usual Ell.
Quote on such occasions. the president
elect called on the outgoing executive.
1t will be seen that the "self-poise" which
Hayes friends are fond OF enumerating
among his characteristics. deserted him
on this occasion, and that, for the time
being. he was too full for utterance:
Just as the president and his cabinet
had seated themselves for their regular
Friday session several carriages ap-
peared IN the presidents grounds and
were rapidly driven to the white house
door. IA a few moments the presid. mt
elect aud those accompanying him we're
president elect advanced the room, and
PresiGeat Grant had scarcely time 10 rise
from his chair when the president
elect reached him. The latter. grasping
ing President Grants hand 10 both OF his,
aud looking in tho presidents eyes,
seemed tor a moment too overcome for
expression. President Grant ,more self
possessed, spoke up heartily and said.
'Gov. Hayes, am glad to welcome you.
congratulate you upon your election
and your safe arrival in Washington.
The president-elect, recovering him
self, replied: Thank you. Mr.. Presi-
dent, for your welcome and congratula.

The president, turning, presented Sec
retaries Chandler and Cameron. At this
moment Secretary Fish entered aud was
presented; next followed Postmaster
General Tyner, then Attorney General
Taft and then Secretary Robson, all
OF whom were In turn pre-
sented. Owing to Illness, Secretary
Morrill, was absent. Assistant Secretary
Conant, who represented him, was pre-
sented 10 the President elect by Post

CABINET SKETCHES.

From the Chicago Times OF the Sth,
We reproduce the biographies OF the
members of Hayes cabinet.
William Maxwell Evarts, secretary of
state, is a native of Boston. He was
born on the 9th of February, 1916. He
was educated In Yale college, and was
member OF the class OF 1887. In ls4l,
after a course OF study in the Harvard
law school, he was admitted 10 the bar of
New York, where by force of intellect
and his superior power as an inventor OF
ten-mile questions, he very soon rose TO
a prominence which he has since found
himself able to improve upon. He
received the degree OF LID. from
Union college In 1857 /; from Yale In
1865; and from Harvard in 1870. Mr..
Evarts has never, until his appointment,
held but one public position that could
In the usual sense of the word be called
an office. In 1868, he was the leading
counsel for the defense OF Andrew John
son, who was then president OF the
United States, and under impeachment ;
and from the close Of that tria! until the
end OF Mr.. Johnson's term, he was the
attorney general. He was counsel tor
the United States in the Alabama arbitra.
ton at Geneva in 1879. His name has
frequently been mentioned In connection
with his high posts In the government
but owing to its having In every instance,
but that alluded to, not been mentioned
by the right parties, be has never beeI
favored with an opportunity to decline
but he probably would not have improve
it il he had. Mr.. Evarts' most recen
notoriety was gained by hi
participation In the Beecher-Til
ton smuttiness OF two years ago.
Senator John Sherman, OF Ohio. Sec
Rotary OF the treasury. was born at Ian
caster, o.. In May, 1923. He studied Il
tbs Mount Vernon school while, AM
then at the age of IL was sent out Z
