European 'Harvests.

A correspondent of the Economist

that some Of the expected adverse re-
ports respecting foreign harvssts have
not been received, and purchasers have
becOme much more careful in conse-
quence. It learns that the United
States harvest has been good both in
quantity and in quality, and that the
amount of wheat raised is greater than
it has ever been before. Last year it
was 800. OOO, 600 bushels, and this year
$50 .OOU,O 900. Great Britain and Ireland
calculated upon "a good average har-
vest" In France there is little corn in
store, and the harvest has been ''poor, -
with wheat at twenty per cent under
the average" Belgium expects "a me-
dunn harvest" and Holland "a good
one for all descriptions, with the excep.
ton of rye. In Scandinavia and tue
Russian and German provinces along
the Baltic coast the harvest has been ~
farely good one," except as to corn.
The same is said of Poland, Roumania,

that if the tooth had to be extracted the
gass should be used for the safety Of the

his head. but forced Que Of his hands
out and snapped and screamed and

had undertaken the operation, managed
to get his hand ON the absess ami gave

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-The following tele-
gram sent to New Orleans tonight, explains
itself:
Maj. E. Burke, New Orleans Referring
to the denials in recently published inter
view of yours, have the honor respectfully
to ask you this question: Were you as a
representative of the Nichols government
with other southern men and Messrs. Stan
ley Mathews. John Sherman. Chas. Foster,
and Jas. A. Garfield, ALL or any of them, or
other northern men, present at the confer
ence at Wormleys Hotel, i'll Washington,
about Feb. 26th, concerning Louisiana affairs.
If SO, was any written paper, whether signed
or unsigned, and whether with or with
out names affixed as witnesses of its
correctness, made then or subsequently, en-
bodying, or purporting to state the whole or
any part of any agreement, understanding or
intention, resulting from such conference or
conferences, concerning the Louisiana affair,
or concerning the Packard or Nichols gov
ernment, or federal troops in New Orleans.
If SO, have you now, or have you ever had,
that paper, or copy thereof? Is it in ex-
istence? if SO, where? Is it now, if not,
when, where, and by whom was it destroyed
and will you make it, or a copy of it, public,
if you have it?
Signed. w. E. CHANDLER.
Mr.. Chandler said tonight: It has never
been charged that the written memorandum
authorizing the alleged bargain made at
Wormley's Hotel conference of February
26th, was signed by Stanley Matthews OF
Charles Foster, or any other republicans.
That written memorandum was drawn up
showing an understanding that had been
reached by the conferences. That this was
read over and agreed to is substantially cor.
rect, and that at the same time
the Southern Democrats, or some of them
affixed their names to the paper as witnesses
of its correctness, and the paper was the1
deposited with Major Burke. have beer
informed that General Garfield was not quite
satisfied with the way the bargain was ex
pressed in Burke's memorandum, and so he
made memorandum of his own which he
says he will publish if Burke's paper Ii
made public.

Mr.. Ewing moved to suspend the rules and
take from the Speakers table and pass the
Senate concurrent resolution for the pay
ment of United States bonds, the principal
and interest in gold or silver, known as the
Matthews silver resolution.
Mr.. Garfield moved the House adjourn,
He desired his colleague, Ewing, would set
the time for debate on the resolution.
MI. Butler-We do not want debate.
Mr.. Garfeld-We have passed bill on
this subject without word of debate. I
don't propose to make any factious oppo-
sition to getting the sense of the House, but
in questions so deeply affecting the public
credit, reaching for beyond the mere tech
nical legal question to which the resolution
refers, we ought to have a fair decision.
Mn Ewing-The bill which has passed the
House is pending in the Senate. It may
come back with amendments, when debate
on the subject will be had
| Mr.. Garfeld-Do you want an amend
ment?
Mr.. Garfield subsequently Withdrew the
