ANSWER. 1T will be seen that
the above question is propounded to
the Ne,Us and not to President Wood
or his company, We therefore reply
frankly and as poIntedly as we can +,
that OF the $50 900, S25 900 was on
the part of the county OF Scott, whose
supervisors subsequently rescinded
the subscription before any action had
been taken In the matter. The town
Of G0odson subscribed $1,000 more OF
II, on the condition that not a dollar
of the bonds was TO be touched until
lhe convict labor had first been secur-
ed . z
The convict labor has not yet been
secured and there Ia no likelihood OF
acquiring II until The canal shall have
been disposed Of TO the Richmond
and Allegany II. II. We think this
will be done at a tolerably early day
The remainder Of the subscriptions
We presume can be made available
when needed, but not even tho two

them has not vet been paid. "a

THE NEW BISHOP OF MICHIGAN.

Nov Orleans Picayune.l
The Intelligence OF the selection OF
Rev. DIR. Sam'l Harris to fill the vacant
bishopric OF Michigan, was received in
this city with sentiments of pride and
pleasure on the part of tho members Of
his former congregation aud the large
circle of his friends and admirers. AS
the rector Of Trinity Church, DIR. Harris
gained for himself the affectfOnate re-
gard and profound respect of the mem.
bers Of his church and the Episcopal
clergy. Possessing those qualities OF
mind and heart which adorn and
dignity the profession of the ministry,
the career of this now eminent divine
has been continued progress toward
tho realization of the lofty ideals OF the
evangelical mission.
Born in Alabama nearly forty years
ago, Mr.. Harris graduated from college
with high honors when still very
young. He studied law, and was ad-
United to tho bar In 1860. Endowed
with abilities of no common order,
thoroughly educated, and eloquent In
speech, he was we'll fitted for SUCCESS
in the sphere he had selected. During
the war Mr.. Harris did his devoir, and
served with credit in the Confederate
ranks.
After the cessation of hostilities he re.
moved to New York, practiced law,
and subsequently studied theology un'
der Bishop Potter, commencing his
duties in the pulpit. From the rector
ate of Trinity Church In this city he
was called to st. James Church, Chica-
go, where he presently became as
much beloved by his new as by his old
congregation.
| Earnestness and zeal, enthusiastic de-
votion to duty, and moral forcc of char
acter, have marked DIR. Harris's career
whether as advocate, soldier, or preach
er, and his selection by tho clergy o
Michigan as their ecclesiastic head con
fers honor both Oh the Diocese and tn
Diocesan.

JOHN SHERMAN AND THE DECLINE
OF THE GRANT GROOM
TShrcvoport Standard. |

shreveport Stnnuard.l
It must be evident to all that thore
has been, within the last few weeks,
q perceptible subsistence of the Grant
ssboom." 1t requires all the pulling and
blowing, yelling and whooping, of all
all tho Grant statesmen, white and
black, to keep its head above water.
The nearer the time approaches for the
Radical hero to make that landing on
tho Pacific coast, which the GRANTEES
affect to beliovc will be memorable in
future history, tho moro rapidly does
tho Grant boom subside. A few weeks
ago tho whole Radical world was to
go to the Pacific, meet tho advancing
hero with palm trees In their hands,
crown his brow with oak leaves, strew
flowers in his pathway, and lead him
in triumph across the continent, pro-
paratory to a still more triumphant
entry into the White House for the
third term on the 4th day of March
1881. But now, alas, a roll call fails to
bring together the patriots who arc
willing to make tho journey to the
form tho appointed acts OF Radical
obcisance and keep the boom up until
| it shall have landed its hero in tho
| Presidential chair.
And the reason is plain. These men
do not exactly ice how they arc to get
their money back. And tho ftct that
they cannot see this demonstrates thai
tho Grant "boom'' is about "playcd
out.' And tho cause Of this, too, will
be found in the fact that while General
Grant was exhibiting himself to for.
eign courts and potcntatcs in different
parts of tho world another formidable
candidate for presidential hOnors was
quietly but surely appropriating 20

THE QUIN1NE swINDLE.

The Medical and Surgical Reporter,
published at Philadelphia, tho head
quarters Of the quinine monopolists,
says:
The fortune OF the late Thomas II.
Powers is estimated between five mil
lion and ten million dollars. Very
much of this was made on quininc, and
tho movement to repeal the duty on
that drug is one which should meet
the approval of all unbiased physi-
clans. At present the sick are Obliged
to pay more than twice as much for this
medicine as they would were the duty
removed. The excess goes into the
pockets of the already enormously rich
manufacturers. In fact, it is encour-
aging monopoly of the most unfair
description.

vcntfon has ali along been held to be
ON the delegation ftom the Southern
States, which cast NO Republican votc,
and are what Colonel Benton not
inapaly called "rotten borough 1clcga-

man In the presidential chair to be

Grants third term aspirations while
he was enjoying his second term. But
when he failed to secure tho nomina-
ton then no lost his chance. His main
engine has passed into the hands of
