Senator Jones, of Nevada, gives strong
confirmation of what was we'll known
before, that President Hayes merely
followed out his predecessors policy In
removing the troops from the Southern

said "rhe election of President Hayes
was all that prevented General Grant

LONDON, August 6, 1878.
The Austrian troops are meeting with

FIFTH EDITION.
The speech of Mr.. Hendricks concluded,
GEN. Grants Candidacy.

In closing his remarks Mr.. Hendricks
sald 81 appeal to you to prepare for
this contest and that of 1880. What con-
siderations may I urge? Surely may
say that Democratic success will give
assurance of true reform In the civil SER
vice, the ultimate reduction in public
expenditures, and the adoption of lust
and liberal policies of the currency and
finances. But more than this will be in
volved in this contest. General Grant
will probably be the Republican candi-
date, and his candidacy will signify a
strong government, always prepared to
hold the people in control. In the midst
of the present hard times thousands OF
men have been thrown out of employ
ment. Led by hope or driven by fear,
they have wandered from place to place
exhausted and they have become tramps.
1t is now common to attribute to them
all acts of violence and public disturb
ances over the country. THIS condition
Is made the pretext for demanding a
stronger and more arbitrary supervision
and control The general distress In bus
iness and the consequent want of en-
pioyment for labor have disturbed and
excited the entire laboring population,
ana that Is also urged as reason for
comforting more absolute authority, un-
der the pretext of suppressing strikes
and labor riots. Grant and a centralized
and strong government is the sentiment
Of his party. Upon no other ground
could his nomination and election be
urged. His elevation again would tram
pie under foot the unbroken sentiment
of the people against third term. This
movement will not be easily defeated.
The struggle between free institute ons
and the aggressions of power has never
been an easy one. General Grant is fit
ted to lead the movement and establish
the new order of things. He has the
qualities amt training, aud is accustomed
to arbitrary authority and military law
During his entire administration he
maintained his party in many States by
the use of the army, and his disregard
Of civil authority, whenever it came in
the way of party ambition, appears

All those who desire to spend a day of
pleasure at the seaside, and take dip In

tomorrow. The train will leave this
city at o'clock arriving al Rehoboth at
11.30; returning leave that place at 5 p.
M, thereby allowing 81 hours at the sea
shore. 1t is almost useless to write of
the beauties of Rehoboth but still 1t is
safe to say that 1t is equal to any of the
watering places of this country. The

ONE OF FARRAGUTS OLD SAIL
ORS,

SAYING THAT HE WOULD BREAKFAST IN
HEAvEN. HANGS HIMSELF In HIS CBLI..
Hugh Walsh, aged 81, was sentenced
70 the Kings County Penitentiary, on
the 3lst ult., for six months on q charge
Of having assaulted his wife Margaret, at
"a Flushing avenue, by striking her in
the face with his fist and kicking her.
He was formerly q keeper of the light
house at Fire Island. -Four years ago he
married, and life of domestic discord
ensued, and drunkenness added to his
troubles. He threatened three times
to commit suicide. On Sunday evening
when he was locked up, he seemed
unusually merry, singing and talking to
himself. The watchman, Edward Ho-
ran, spoke to him several times, but he
sang on as though he was in a particular
ly jolly mood. He puffed at his pipe un-
I'll Al yesterday morning, and did not go
to bed.
Then he asked the watchman for a
drink of water, and as he drai ned the
glass he smacked his lips and SAID, "I
shall take breakfast in heaven" The
watchman laughed and passed on, but
the prisoner shouted it after him.
In the morning, when William Smith,
the keeper, passed Walsh's cell, he saw
him with his back TO the wall holding on
to the door with his hands. His body
was suspended by piece of BEDFORD
! from wooden pin, used TO hang blank
cts on. He had but one leg, and his right
foot barely touched the floor. The keep
er cut him down, but life was already ex
tinct. The Coroner's jury returned a
verdict of suicide. and exhonerated the
penite entiary officials from all blame.
Walsh's body was covered with repre-
sentation of ships, anchors, capstans and
other designs pricked into his skin in In
dia ink. He lost his leg in the battle of
Mobile bay, on the Hartford, the flag
ship of Admiral Farragut's fleet. He
was a gunner serving at hisI Ipost, and a
shot which entered the portfolio cut off
his leg.

DEATH OF A VALUABLE DOG

A very valuable full blooded Irish
hunting dog, which was presented to
MIR. Il. p. Wise, of the Delaware rail-
road, died one day last week. Mr.. Wise
had sent the dog to Delmar, fearing that
some evil disposed person in this city
would either steal or poison 1t, but unfor-
tunately he sent 1t to the wrong place.
He is of the opinion that the animal was
poisoned, as it was in good health the
day before IL died. He valued tie dog
very highly, as the species is very rare
in this country.

THE REAL ESTATE MARKET

The chief characteristic that has al
ways been noticed of Seattle realty. as
Of her citizens, il steadiness. If Seattle
property in the past has made compar-
ativsly little response to the wild ex-
elements that nave from time to time
stirred other communities over termi-
nus prospects and such illusions, it has
on the contrary showed as little distur-
bance in the opposite direction in view
of temporary reverses and disappoint
ments and exploding bubbles.
The reason has been that Seattle'z
prospects were substantial. resting on
q real basis Of resources and energy.
SEATTLE has had her share of entsrpri-
sing men, men who have erected mills
and opened coal mines, and built rail-
roads and established lines of steam
boats. To these she has owed her
prosperity, This genius of enterprise
and public spirit, which has made her
the Queen City of the Territory in the
past, will still maintain for her the
sceptre of prs-eminence among her
neighbors. By trying to benefit the
whole country roundabout and develop
its resources, so ~ to make business for
the citizen and work for the laborer,
our representative men have built up
their city.
Thus is explained the fact that our
records of real estate transactions here
have shown no perceptible decline,
while in obedience to Q universal law
real estate throughout the country gen
orally has fallen to a fraction of its
former price. This has been in conse-
quence of the great appreciation of the
value Of money. due to the specie re-
sumption movement. The key note to
property valuations up to 1878 was set
by the greenback decline to forty cents
on the dollar of 1868. Naturally
enough. when greenbacks rose to par,
or nearly so, the old imitation war price
of everything else had to drop. 10 the
case OF real estate generally it did drop
10 less than half.
The simple fact that Seattle property
has held its ground alone through these
vicissitudcs is sufficient evidence of q
very healthy growth and vigorous life.

IMPROVEMENT IN COAL
MINING.

A recent British Coal Trade Journal
contains an account of new process of
wedging down coal in mines. which, as
the conditions of British coal mining
and ours are somewhat analogous, may
prove of some advantage here. The
process 10 thus described
A half-inch hydraulic ram worked
by hand was used. this being connected
by means of wrought iron tubing
with the cylinder. in which a portion
Of tho wedge was inserted, and the
cylinder. four inches in diameter and
fourteen and half inches in length,
was bolted to the clips of the wedge by
two bars, constructed so as to allow the
cylinder being moved to its original
position when the wedge had been
forced to the full extent of the stroke.
The first experiment was in q ''strait"
placed on the end of the coal, ten feet
wide, the coal being cut on the higher
side. The hole was placed on the lower
side. and was three feet six iuches deep,
and the coal was holed distance of
nearly four feet. The wedge was
placed in the drill hole, and in seven.
teen minutes, four and half of which
were occupied in fixing and refixing
tho wedge and clips, tho coal was sue
oessfully brought down. The weight of
tho coal dislodged was nearly four tons.
and = very small proportion of this was
slack. The second experiment was also
on the end Of the coal. this time with n
eide loose on the higher side. The
length OF the block was IL feet, this
being holed four feet. The drill hole
WAS again three feet six inches deep,
and was placed on tho lower side. 10
minutes after inserting the wedge.
the GOAL was brought down. forcing it
Oh clear TO the back of the holing on
the higher side and leaving some s,s
inches on the lower side. The cylinder
had to be moved once. and this occu.
pied 81 minutes, so that fierce was only
applied minutes Between seven
aud eight tons were estimated TO have
been got by this one wedge. and very
little Of il was slack OF even small coal
The third attempt WAS more 10 see
whether. with the assistance ef the
wedge, side cutting could be entirely
done away with. or If this could not be
attained, what labor would be saved by
first using wedge. A place was Sc
lected in the face of the coal, Is feet O
inches long. and this was holed four
feet deep. Drill holes three feet six
inches IN depth were put in on both
ends. aud the wedge was first used in
the one on the right-hand side. After
being forced distance of two feet, the
side. although the coal was not forced
OH. was 90 shattered that collier was
enabled 10 cut it out and cut the side in
70 minutes. the time generally taken to
this work being two hours or more.
