Letter from Jarrettsyilie.

April IIln 1873.
We have been silent for long time, from the
fact that news has been scarce. Some of our
more enterprisng citizens are improving their
homes by the removal Of unsightly trees, and
the replanting of those more suitable for the
place.
We would like the County Commissioners to
pay our village visit, and give us bridge over
the stream near the Southern Methodist Church
We find that in other parts of the county streams
have been bridged during the past year that
would hardly have wet the soles of our feet had
we been compelled to wade them, while the
stream at this place, at certain seasons is almost
impossible, aud at best, is an ugly mud hole
The little girls of the Southern Methodist Sun
day School presented Mrs. Steele, the wife ofthe
pastor, with beautiful quilt, a few weeks since.

Beecher, in letter to the N. Y. Tribune, alb
solutely denies the truth of Mrs. Tilton's al

Holy WEEK.-Palm Sunday, the 18th
inst, was the commemoration of the Saviour's
triumphant entry into Jerusalem, when
the people strewed palm branches in the way,
and hailed him as their temporal king, be-
lieving that He was about to overthrow the
Roman power, and ascending the throne of
David, rule the Jewish nation. This event
is celebrated by the presentation and wear
ing of branches of evergreen. Palm Sunday
is also the commencement Holy Week, the
most solemn season of the year IN the Christ
ian church throughout the world, The faith
full, during this week, observe Il more rigor-
GUS fast than at any time during Lent, which
will close next Saturday. Special services
are held in the Roman Catholic, Episcopal
and other churches, and all the devotional ex-
ercises point to the crucifxion and death of
the Saviour, which will he celebrated to day,
which is known rs Good Friday. On this
day the churches are draped in cmbcms of
mourning, and the services are peculiarly
solemn and touching. Sunday will be Eas-
ter, the Queen of Festivals when the Christ
ian world will joyfully celebrate the rising of
Jesus Christ from the dead, as pledge that
those who sleep in Him shall also arise, at
the last day, in the image of His humanity,
and the faithful then enter into the happi.
ness and peace of heaven. These fasts and
festivals are not of recent origin, but they
have been celebrated from the earliest days of
the Christian church.

The FLYERS AT TIE FAIR GROUNDS
Several very fine horses are now at the fair
grounds near Bel Air, under the care of Mr..
VIM. S. Bond, and the trainer, H. r. Quinn.
One of them is Plutus, a magnificent black
stallion, sired by the famous old Patrick Hen
ry. He is a powerful horse, seven years old,
and rapid trotter Susie E., large and
splendid bay mare, nearly four years old,
sired by Plutus, is under training at the same
place She appears TO be an animal of ex-
ceedingly quiet disposition, can trot in the
thirties, and is a great f,vorite with Mr..
Quinn, who anticipates wonderful things
from her when her speed is fully developed,
Plutus and Susie E. both belong to Mr..
Robert l.. Morgan, of this county, who own
ed old Patrick Henry, and who has done
more than any one else in the county to i'm
prove our stock of horses. Another cele-
brated horse which may be seen at the same
place is the Jenfer Arabian, Il horse as pret
ty as a picture, which belonged to the late
Col. w. H. Jenifer, to whom he was present.
ed by the Khedive of Egypt. This horse is
said to be of the purest strain of desert
Arabs, and shows unmstakable signs of his
pure blood and lineage. II is worth visit
to the fair grounds to see these fine horses.

A New York World reporter, recently had
a lengthy interview with Conkling, of New
York, in which that hang fire statesman gave
his estimate of President Hayes and his poll
cy, together with sundry other important
matters of information, very freely and unre-
servedly. He thinksthe whole ofthe Louisiana
infamy must soon come TO light, and that the
revelation will appal the country and be
damaging to Hayes. He also claims to have
been the author of the Electoral Commission,
and recounts the tricks he resorted to for the
purpose of gaining the support of Democratic
leaders to the-unheard of scheme.
Mr.. Conkling asserts that he suspected at
the time that bargain was being made be-
tween HAYES and certain Southern Demo-
Gratis, and had reason to believe that the Com
mission would act unfairly. Instead of de-
nouncing the fraud, as it was expected he
would do, he quietly absented himself and
MAJ, a. ----i- - Si', ovn'niosIoi W Pio-
coed. He AYERS that Hayes has placed him
self entirely in the hands of the Southern
Democrats, with the hope Of evolving new
political party at the South. He therefore
denounces Hayes and the Electoral Commits
sion which rendered false judgment, and
which he himself suggested and helped for
ward Having permitted the fraud to be
consummated without raising his voice
against it, it strikes us that it is rather late in
the day, and it comes with very bad grace,
for him to stir up and renew apoltical agta-
ton which can result in no good to the coun-
try. The people of the United States set q
proper estimate upon the validity of Hayess
title, but the majority of them are unwilling
to stir up airesh q political strife which must
prove more disastrous to the business inter-
ests of the country than quietly waiting for
the time to come when they can testify at the
polls their adherence Of the great wrong
which has been done to them.
AS for Senator Conkling having been so
active in concentrating the fraud, it would
have been wiser and more patriotic if he had
held his peace especially since lie manilests
no shame or contriticn for his course, and is
merely angry because he can not use the
fabric he has reared for his own particular
benefit.

President Hayes has ordered the re,ex
animation of the case of General Ftz John
Porter, who was cashiered for discbedience of
orders at the second battle of Bull Run. The
charges were made by General Pope, and
General Porter was prosecuted with great
malignity by Secretary Stanton and Others
because Porter was the devoted friend of
Mcclellan. 1t has since been shown that he
was disgraced without sufficient cause, and
every effort hitherto to reopen the case has
been .hwarted. President Hayes has per.
formed a merciful and gracious act in thus
granting new trial to man whose charac-
ter was unstained and whose punishment has
