Elk. Gov M. PALMER. of Illipoi,

Ex.Gov. j. NJ. PALMER, of Illinois,
has written a letter on the political
situation, in which he says he is per-
suaded that the Democratic party,
though it is now apparently cropping
in the dark, without definite aims, will
at no distant day reach solid ground,
and will again become the command
ing figure in American politics. Mr..
Palmer assumes it to be true that the
Republican party only exists at pres.
ent because it has practical control Of
the government, and says if it were
now out of power it is not easy to i'm
agine any good reason it should again
be intrusted with the management of
public affairs. Mr.. Palmer announces
himself uneauivocally hard money
Democrat.

SENATOR THURMAN spoke at Ham.
iltou, Ohio, recently, and made brief
but admirable presentation Of the
Democratic position on questions now
before the people. That portion OF
his speech which was intended rs an
explanation Of his own course on fl.
nancial questions is Of especial inter
est. and, in view of the Senator's
prominence as q candidate for the
Democratic nomination in 1880, will be
widely read. His statement of the
frauds in Louisiana and Florida is
clearness itself, and better and strong
er than the most elaborate argument.
Evidently the Senator had prepared
his speech with great care, as, while it
is 80 clear and plain that any one can
understand it. it contains perhaps the
best possible statement of political at:
fairs. 1t should DO circulated every

Lone Oaks and Vicinity.

A brief stay at Hopkinsville and a
pleasant nightat Lockbart, and mud
dy drive home brings me once more in
communication with the FREE PRESS :
Cotton crops on the route l have
travelled are short, and q deal more
sickness than we are accustomed to
see in Texas. This is due to the
abundance of fruit and melons and too
frequ ent rains. Nothing to disturb
the monotony at home only we look
for a grand rally of the people on Mon
day at Mountain City aud some sharp
speeches by the candidates. The big
meeting at Live Oak will conflict, but
there will be a good turnout and liber-
al division of the people at both gath
erings.
The purchase Of the Poor Farm"
seems to be topic for gossip. But
those with whom have conversed seem
to think The Commissioners who made
the purchase must have given the
subject careful thought, and as they
are all honorable men aud good BUSH
ness men they can be safely trusted in
so small a matter, at least till it can
be proven that their financial scheme
will not prove benefit to the county.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. d. e.,
Aug. %, 1878.

AuSs -.s ~|'
The Post, of this city, is devoting
its space to efforts to defeat the nomi-
nation of Grant for the Presidency,
The labor is probably unnecessary.
Public sentiment is not leaning that
way.
The uupopularity of Hayes in his
own party, and his failure to carry out
any of the reforms to which he was
specially pledged, have caused the Re
publicaus to look for a future leader
at an earlier period than usual, and
Grant, whose administration, what
ever else may be said OF it, was not a
hypocritical one, naturally receives at
tehtion. When the time for nomina'
nation comes the sins of himself and
friends, now forgotten in contemplate
ing the fraud and dishonesty of his
successor, will have due weight in the
public mind. The Post need not be
alarmed. The people will not ask a
repetition of an administration made
respectable only by the infamy of the
one which follows it.
The Potter Committee got from
Major Burke yesterday confirmation
of some of the testimony Of Mr.. Rob.
erts, and the heretofore unnoticed fact
was brought out that Hayes used his
personal influence with Grant, in the
last hours of the administration. to
have affairs in Louisiana put in such
shape that the incoming President
would have less difficulty in carrying
out his bargain" to "let Packard
down easily"
,iutler and Blaine-.l put them 10
that order because there is great
deal more originality and real ability
in Butler than in Blaine-are the
busiest BIS in the country. Butler is
doing all the work Of the Potter Com.
mittee, managing his large law bust
ness, managing the new party, making
speeches here, there, and everywhere,
and writing iunumerable letters to all
classes Of people. Blaine keeps the
Republicans of his own State in order,
has larger correspondence than any
other American politician ever bad,
manages his large private fortune and
is booked for political speeches in
States South and West. They do not
seem to remember that the Presidency
never comes to busy people. They
should rest for a season and allow
others to do so.
As the yellow fever extends its rava-
ges there is an increasing alarm here.
Many families, including those of all
the high officials are leaving for the
North. The fact that the disease ap-
pears in places heretofore exempt, and
does not follow exactly its former lines
of progress, helps to create apprehen-
sion.. We have miles of rotten wood
en- pavements, and the sanitary con-
dition of the city is in other respects
worse than it has been for Years. The
Health Officer. however. thinks we
shall not be visited. Liberal amounts
are being subscribed for afflicted
Southern cities, the !sraelites taking
the lead in the humane work.

A Colorado SnOw-SIide.

The Silverton Nine says: The in
habitants of this town were startled at
an early hour this morning (Friday) by
the appalling news that a snow-slide
had carried away the shaft-house of the
Ajax Mine, on Sultan Mountain, and
buried the four men dwelling therein.
The call was instantly responded to. A
strong force of men Immediately pro-
ceeded with sleighs to the scene, where,
after an hours labor, the dead bodies of
four stalwart men, who, few hours
previously, were full of life and strength
timbers and the piled mass of snow 10
feet deep, cold in death-hurried in one
brief moment into eternity. The names
of the deceased are as follows: James
Jewell, John Green, Frank Green and
Jonathan Thomas
From information hastily gathered, it
appears that the four doomed men, who
were working day shift upon the Ajax
Mine, the property of Mr.. H. L. Rog-
ers, situate at an elevation of some 25O

tain, about a mile below the town of
Silverton, in southwesterly direction,
after completing the days work and
finishing supper, had gone to the shaft
house between and last evening,
where they slept. Tell. Graham and
William Williams, living in a neighbor-
ing cabin, upon going outside at day
light this morning, noticed that heavy
slide had passed over during the night,
and proceeded to the Ajax Mine, when
the fearful fact was apparent of tunnel
and shaft-house being smashed up, burr
ed and carried away. They instantly
summoned Mr.. Rogers, and the latter
rushed off to town for assistance, which
was nobly and promptly answered. The
result is as stated above

AS Uncle Remus came up Whitehall

boy carrying a slate and number of

them, but their exact purport will prob

Tea Can be Grown in America.

The New hTTiBune'S Washing
ton correspondent says: GA gentle
man connected with a prominent tea
importing house in Baltimore, and who
is an expert in all matters pertaining to
the culture and curing of tea, came to
Washington last week by appointment
with the Commissioner of Agriculture
to inspect 100000 tea-plants growing in
the propagating houses of the Agricul-
tural Department. This gentleman has
Travelled in China and Japan in connec-
ton with the business of the firm. In
the latter country he remained one sea-
son as Superintendent of tea plantations
and curing and packing establishments
owned by his house. He is, therefore,
probably as well qualified as any Amer
lean to pronounce upon the practicable
ity of cultivating tea in this country. He
expresses the utmost confidence in the
success of the Commissioner plans, and
Is surprised that tea-culture did not long
ago become a profitable branch of
American industry. The gentleman
thirds of the labor expended in China
is useless, and that, with one-tenth of
the ingenuity displayed in the invention
of the cotton-gin, machinery can be de-
vised here which will supersede every
hand manipulation except that of pick
ing, and which will produce results
more uniform and of better quality than
can be otherwise arrived at He re-
cOmmends to the Commissioner that, in
future documents on the subject of tea
culture, Oriental accounts be disre-
garded, and that a plain statement of
the principles which govern the prepare
ton of tea be substituted Processes,
then, would suggest themselves, he
thinks, to intelligent experimentalists
that would remove the veil of mystery
which has heretofore clouded the
whole question, and result in the sue
cessful production of American tea pro-
duced on American principles"
