The House majority rather thanked the move
OF their opponents to make party capital out
OF the rejection of Gen. Shields as doOrkeeper
by voting him the pay of retired brigadier,
but for all that, it is more than likely that the
fact of the election of confederate door
keeper will be utilized by the republicans
hereafter as campaign material.

The Florida Frauds.

WASHINGTON, May s.-Representatiyes
Williams, Of Michigan ispringer, Of Illi-
nois, and Finley, Of Ohio, are in consul
tation this afternoon on the subject Of
the alleged Florida Presidential election
frauds. One OF them said in answer to q
question that they would endsavor to
introduce resolution on the subject this
afternoon should opportunity occur.
A Democratic member OF the House,
prominent in the movement for the in
yesdgation Of the alleged Florida and
Louisiana Presidential frauds, says that
those who have the subject in hand could
not report 4 resolution with that view to-
day, for the reason that they have not
yet agreed upon form, but such reso-
luton will be introduced some day this
week. The Committee on the Judiciary
will be instructed with the investigation.
He expresses confidence that It will
pass, and says every Democrat and a
number OF the Republicans will vote for
1t, in order that the country shall be
satisfied OF the character OF the votes
awarded Hayes and Wheeler In Florida
and Louisiana. The committee will not
inquire into the question OF the eligi-
bility OF the present incumbents, but the
facts ELECTED are to speak for them
selves.

Tennessee Crop Report.

NASHVILLE, May s.-The crop and
statistical report Of the Tennessee Bureau
OF Agriculture is just out. 1t states that
the raV4ges OF rust threatened to be very
disastrous to wheat, but 10 the past few
days the prospect is improved to some
extent, and although considerable part
Of the crop has been cut of, yet the
largely increased average will make the
yield probably about three.fourth Of an
average crop. The fruit crop Is more
abundant than for several years, and the
corn, tobacco and other crops are reported
to be doing we'll. One-fith Of the to-
bacco crop has already been set out,
and while the tobacco planting il early,
an effort will be directed toward making
a good crop rather than large one. Tho
average OF the cotton crop ia much
smaller than last year.
It is now pretty generally admitted
that the sugar crop will fall short from
80 to 81 per cent, as compared with last
year, or from 100000 to 10000 tons.

The Fruit and vegetable Crop.

Nothing short OF Il hail storm, such as
occurred In 1869, can now damage our
fruit crop. The quantity OF Strawberries
will be quite large, probably a. large as
that OF last year, which was above the
average. The raspberry crop Is increas.
ing every year, and the blackberry crop
decreasing in nearly the same proper
ton. The orange rust Is destroying the
Kittatinny plantations aud the false
bloom Is discouraging the Lawton grow
ers. Many. acres Of blackberries will be
plowed up this year, and new plant,
ings made. The Taylor blackberry
Is new variety fast gaining favor
for size, flavor, hardness and Tree
dom from disease. In Northern Indiana
it surpasses all oIhers; about the same
size as the Lswton, colors uniformly,
equally prolific, and a better carrier.
The peach crop will be much larger than
that Of 1877, and the quality better. The
poorer sorts have been cut out and room
made for better varieties. The pear will
be only au average crop. Apples also
will not be as abundant as they were last
year, especially the early sorts. OF
grapes none will be shipped from this
country to speak OF. Cherries are abund-
ant and varieties that have failed for ten
years are now full. OF gooseberries and
eurrants this county does not produce
enough 10 make car load. Plums are
receiving more attention than formerly
and the shipments this year will be quite
large for this fruit. .-.-......-.
Al Golden the tomato crop will be
about the same as that oi last year, which
was large. This fruit Is neglected at
other stations, II we except Mikanda.
Sweet potatoes will form considerable
item ol Southern Illinois produce this
year, as usual, Dongola leading in guam
tity and quality, unless Villa Ridge ex-
ceeds it. OF Irish potatoes the amount
will probably fall short Of the last crop,
as prices have ruled quite low and dis.
co1faged plantings. Rust Is said TO have
made ia appearance on the ripening
wheat in various portions Of Tennessee,
The fruit crop, not only in the State, but
generally over the South, promises we'll.

Dispatches from Leading Men a

Wallace, or ]. Don. Cameron, Washing
ton, D. c." were the addresses on the
two telegraphic communications, from
citizens of Pittsburgh, which were pre-.
sented to the Senate yesterday and laid
upon the table, on motion Of Senator
Wallace u. Don. Cameron bsing absent
from the city preparing for marriAge.)
One Of the memorials, signed by Lewis,
Oliver & Phillips, is in these terms :
f'You cannot conceive the trouble and
difficulty we have doing business with
Bankrupt bill in present shape. The trade
OF the country Is being dIsorganized. Now
that the question has been raised, do press
for speedyrepeal and immediate date fixed.
Do not allow days extension, as the peo-
pie arc exaggerating the benefits and rush.
ing In crowds TO take advantage OF the
act. II Congress don't act quickly and
properly, another panic will ensue. We
know not whom to trust. The foregoing Is
the opinion OF business men here"
The other memorial requests:
ado everything in your power to secure
the immediate repeal OF the Bankrupt law
TO take effect at once. Itis our only hope
for revival Of business"

Petitions have been received from va
rious parts Of the Union, one Of which,
signed by citizens Of Springfield Furnace,
Blair county, Pa, was presented BY Sen
ator Wallace, yesterday, praying for the
passage Of the Texas Pacific Railroad bill.
They represent that the condition OF the
country is such that It is impossible to
find market for our manufactured pro-
ducts, or employment ot hundreds Of
thousands Of willing laborers, who are,
in many cases, sutfering for the necessities
Of life; that the coal and iron industries
Of the nation are greatly depressed, aud
ruinous losses are suffered by those en-
gagged therein, owing to the almost entire
stoppage Of works Of internal improve.
ment; that great relief can be given to all
interests, and employment furnished to
the laborer, II the Government will, to q
limited degree, aid with its credit such
works as are national in their character;
that the settlement OF our Indian and
Mexican troubles imperatively demands
the immediate construction Of Pacific
railway through our Southwestern Ter
ritories to the Pacific Ocean, and that
this is demanded no less as 3 means OF
regulating the rates on the present Pa
ciic railroad, and securing to the people
fair and reasonable rates thereon, which
can never be had while it remains as now,
an absolute monopoly.
