TIE OLD CROWD BACK AGAIN

The following extract from the most re-
spacisbie Democratic newspaper of Wash
ipgton shows how the old social rebel ele-
m,nt that went into forced retirement when
the North took possession of Washington is
beginning TO warm into lie again, under
the present condition OF affairs:
"The l,ss OF the genial Southern element,
alwavs the conspicuous feature here before
the war, has been but poorly compensated
for hv the somewhat cold ard more reserved
character OF the representatives who, up to
this time. have in form, at least, taken their
pIsce. Mrs. Lincoln's career and her mark
cd peculisrities were Of such character as
t. give little Involvement to people Of refiu-
ed ard cultivated tastes TO visit the White
House, snd rather tended 10 give such col
oring 10 social intercourse here As to debsr
suy from choosing Washington as n place
Of residence, except when necessitated by
business. During President Johnson's
administration the White House was
owing to peculiar circumstances, virtuslly
closed to society Of every description. Mira.
Grant, though highly respected for her ma
tronly and homelike virtues, wss anything
but of advantage 10 society at large.
While generously entertained on every
hsnd, few of our citizens Of the better Glass
met with snything more than cold and
chilling reception at her hands in return,
with psrhsps the exception OF the family of
the Secretsry Of State, Mr.. Fish, whose so
eial status. thorough breeding. ard i'm
mense wealth, enforced a consideration sell
dom extended to Others. Mrs. Hayes, in
the Judgment Of the most Intelligent peo-
pie, IN thrusiipg her obnoxious ultra tenn
perarce views upon Others, too often subject
ing them to great personal annoyance and
has naturally provoked an
auts.onism which is a. fatsl TO anything
like gsyety smong the class who would
sturslly b. supposed to constitute the social
circle OF tie Presidents wife as il they
were under the influence and control Of one |
of C.omwelI's Puritsns. 1t is not unlikely |
that the next season may be of a conspicu- |
ously different charsc'er from those Just |
pat. Besides the fac; that there are = |
large number Of families Of inde perjen /
fortunes, and refined and cultivated tastes,
who have msde Washington their home,
and Who are only waiting for the introduc-
ton of some new social element which is |
congenial TO them. there is anticinated an
advent Of the families Of the new Senators

SOWING BARLEY.
IPr irie Farmer, 81

Many farmers make mistake in sowing
barley too early. 1t should be sown imme-
diately after oats, and inst before the time
Cf sowing flax, and on fresh worked lard
Tor the reason that after termination il
should not receive any serious check until
ripe. If too little seed Is sown insects Iasy
seriously deplete the crop. Ii too much l.
sown the crop may suffer for W mt of due
light and air. The farmer should know
'omething Of the relative condition of hi.
soil as regards fertility and freedom from
insects.

TrsE DERsTE IN rae SENATE.

Washington dispatches state that there is
quite difference OF opinion as to the
length Of time the Senate will be engsged
on the army bill. The debate will begin
to day or tomorrow, and while number
of the Democrats are anxious 10 have the
bill acted upon and go 10 the President as
soon possible in order that they may have
his action upon i. Tor guide in the debate
on the legislative bill, there are prominent
members of their party in the Senate who
predict that every man on the ma grity
VIII speak before the bill is finally acted
upon. 1t Is certain that the Republicans
will give full attention to the subject, and
that il will be discussed upon its merits to
a greater extent than in the Houss, where
the coercion of the Executive, through sp-
preparation bills, formed the basis of a
large par. Of the debate.

the matter of the colored exodus from the

to 60 where their rights will be respected,
and they will be treated as American citi-
