productions, the products of the field, the
garden the dairy, and the hundreds of beau
tiful and useful articles made by the ladies to

amusemcnts of various kinds, for the enter
tainmcnt of visitors.
There will be trials of speed each day, and
among the sports will be mimic fox chases,
athletic sports of various kinds, chariot
race, &c, in short there will be something to
be seen every day at all hours during the ex-
hibition, so that the interest of the visitor
will never be suffered to flag
The Grafton will be delivered at ~ o'clock,
on Wednesday, October 9Th, by the Hon.
Richard II. Merrick, of Howard county, Md.
MIR. Mcrrick is one of the most polished and

struction. The directors are to be congratu-
lated upon their good fortune in having Sc

Our WASHINGTON Letter.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., September 23d, 1870
Leading men of all parties begin to realize that
something must be done by Congress 10 promote
the business interests Of the country. English
merchants, under the fostering care of their gov
crnmcnt, are stealing away ourforcign trade, and
especially diminishing our profits in the trade on
this continent, simply by their superiority in
communication. Our merchants say that private
enterprise alone cannot cope with the great mo-
nopolists who have got such hold upon South
American trade. But with a little government
aid temporarily until they can get foothold, our
superior products and enterprise will soon over
come all competition. Weneed American steam
ship lines to all the principal ports and closer pos
tai and commercial (, connections. Shall we have
thcmp 1t is for Congress to say. The producers
of the South particularly are interested in this
subject.
The enthusiastic reception of General Grant at
San Francisco on Saturday last, like the unprece
dented gathering of citizens in Connecticut the
other day, when battle flags were to be moved
from one place to another, shows undiminshed
interest the part of the public in the soldiers of
the late war. 1t did not show bitter feeling of the
peopleo of one section to those of another. There
was no suggestion of that in either event. But
the North, like the South has and will always
have pride in the good soldiers that went to the
front, 1t is right that the North and the South
letter will be gratifed to learn that eXConfeder-
ates took part in the Grant reception side by side
with those they fought from 1861 to 1864. When,
if ever, the people come to pass upon Grants tlt-
ness for civil office, of which they will judge by
the manner in which he performed the duties of
considering that an.entirely different question.
From reliable intelligence received yesterday
from New York we learn nth that the Iammany de-
the great bulk of its members will give in their
adhesion to the support of the regular nominee of
the Democratic convention-Governor Robinson
and will not allow themselves to be made the
instruments of John Kelly for the purpose of aid
Ing in securing the election OF Cornell. Governor
Robinson's administration has given great salts
faction to the better element of all parties in that
State and 1t is estimated that there are from 40 900
5000 independent voters mot what is termed the
floating class) but among the better class of citi
zens, who take no active part in politics, who will
cast their ballots for Governor Robinson, know
ing him to be an honest and incompatible Chief
Magistrate. This element, 1t Ia believed by those
converSant with New York politics. will more than
overcome the vote cast by the followers of John
Kelly.
In an unchanging purpose to promote civil ser
vice reform, Secretary Sherman keeps corps of
Treasury clerks employed in furnishing figures
from the Department books for his political
friends to use. They are furnished without aII-
al thing are arranged to deceive. HILTON.

date for Governor. lie is making a desperate
fight for the place, and may be successful.
Hon Montgomery Blair thinks the Kelly
bolt in New York will result to the advantage
of Mr.. Tilden. The Tammany braves take no
interest in the personal quarrels of Kelly and
Tilden and only adhere to Kelly on account
of the crumbs of patronage he can bcstow if
successful Since Mr.. Kelly announces in adj
lowers will desert him for some one who has
IA better chance of being elected Mr. Blair
also believes that the nomination of Mr. Til
den by the next Democratic convention is
certain.
