FROM D0NG0LA.
ITEMS BY OLD TRIM.

The quaint little town of Dongola, stu
ated on the |, G. r. r., just 81 miles north
of Cairo, still maintains her position as
being the most business like town between
Cairo and Anna. Her business men are
among the solid, and are honest to the
core. There are six large mercantile houses
in the place. together with two family
grocery stores, and two drug stores; all do
| ing thriving business. Her mills for
manufacturing bread stuff and feed, are
among the best the country affords, and
they manufacture annually, many thousand
barrels of the finest grades of -four and
meal. Dongola being remote from any
swamp lands, her citizens enjoy almost I'M
interrupted health. The surrounding
country is rapidly improving in the most
approved style of a mixed agriculture, and
the prospect is lattering that at no very far
distant day. Dongsla and its surrounding
country will be denominated "the garden
spot of lower Egypt So fine is the health
of this place, that our physicians, Mcssrs.
Harness, Williams and McLane sometimes
seriously entertain the idea of abandoning
the profession, and going isto the business
| Of farming.
A wide-awakc interest is taken in the
cause of education, and the result is, VIC
have number one graded school.
Our present term of school, of which Mr.
Deans, of Johnson county, Is principal, is
the most complete success that we have
had since our new building has been
erected. When we write that Mr.. Deans is
'the right man in the right place." We
only write the truth.
The dogs of Dongola now have a tax of
fifty cents per head levied on them and it
must be paid, as the ordinance so declares
It. A few of the citizens are very much
chagrined over the matter, and to hear
them talk one would suppose we were on
the eve Of rebellion, such Us has not been
seen since the flood. A movement is now
on foot for liberty and the destruction of
the corporation, 1t is thought by some
that our city fathers would do well to hunt
holes and hide from the wrath that is just
ready to be poured out upon their devoted
heads.

TIE New York Nomination,

Senator Conkling said, early In his con-
troversy with the President over the New
York custom house Offices, that the removal
of Mr. Cornell would make him Governor of
New York. This amounted 10 a threat that
il the President did not regard Mr.. Conk-
ling's wishes. Nj Conkling would try to
give him Governor If New York hostile to
the Administration. The President removed
Mr.. Cornell, and Mr.. Conkling has, SO far
as the Republican nomination goes, made
good his prediction. The removal of Mr..
Cornell for the reason that he was chairman
of the Republican State Committee, as we
thought and still think. was an act of doubtful
wisdom on the part Of President Hayes
looking to all the contingencies and demands
Of the future; hut the Presidents motives in
making it were praiscworihy. He has since
re-cstablishcd his relations with his party
And Mr. Conklinr might easily have found

INDICATIoNs from the South point to a
a very greatly increased exodus of the color
ed people at an early day. Deep discomfort
is found among the blacks. not only along the
Lower Mississippi but also in all the old slave
States, and this discomfort is almost certain
to eliminate in migration. II the Southern
planters want the negroes to remain where
they are they must make a radical change in
their policy towards them. 'nley must be
protected in all their rights. They must he
paid fair wages and encouraged TO get on in
the world. The State of Georgia is to-day
sending out pamphlets and circulars urging
Northern men to settle there. And at the
same time the negroes in the State of Geor-
gia are 50 lily treated that they too have
caught the migration fever and are bound to
leave at the first opportunity. And reports
are coming in to the Secretary of the Emf
grant Aid Society from all parts of the South,
that the exodus is taking on a new and more
extensive form, and that very large numbers
of the blacks are preparing to leave as soon
as they get paid for their summers work.
And who can blame them: Who in their
places would not do as they propose TO do?

After Il heightened period of depression
the iron trade in England is looking up "a
| the same time with our own. This does moi
result there from home demand, hut from
| orders sent over from this country. Ii
American manufacturers are wise they will
take serious notice OF this fact and profit hy
the lesson it conveys. In 49,. the price of
American pig iron touched the lowest point
in the history of its manufacture. Seeing
this BUYERS at once took advantage of the
unprecedented opportunity it offered, and n
demand for all forms ut iron and steel arose,
including. aS u matter, of course, the stimu-
lalion OF all Cugnltc industries. To Indicate
the rate of relroCtsSiun in price of American
pig iron alone, it will be sufficient To say
that it fell from IS. - per ton in 1872 10
Sl1.63 per ton in 1873 The price of
American iron rails per long ton declined
from SSj.l2 in 1872 Ia To SIS - in 1873
The best refined bar iron per ton of =. 240
pounds AT Philadelphia fell from -; 81 in
1872 to ~ II in 1873. The production OF
iron and steel rails per ton Of :, 240 pounds
in the niicd States has not 50 greatly
varied for the last seven wears. taken by the
wear During these Years, however, the
duty of foreign iron has been simply pro
hlhllive for example, un pig iron $3.50 per
ton; on har iron. average SO per ton; on
iron rails so 20 per ton: ON steel rails
so per ton This left the field entirely To-
home manufacturers. and the production of
the present year promises 10 he largely in
excess of any previous year. Throughout
the rntirr country the iron establishments
have been and now are AT work to the
utmost of their capacity. Orders for iron
and steel come in more rapidly than
they can I've filled Advance in prices has
accomplished the increased production, bar
iron having risen 500 per ton with "A con
tinucd upward tendency. and all other iron
and steele having risen corrcspondingly.
Thus far the American trade has reaped
almost without opposition nearly the whole
advantage uf the revival of business growing
out al a resumption of specie payments. and
il American iron manufacturers continue Ia
advance prices, regardless of certain rivalry
abroad, they will simply open the way To-
damage their own interests through the i'm
portalion oi large quantities of foreign iron
