DEMOCRATIC DELIBERATIONS.
The Preliminary Talk over The opening
RSaaIou.


WAsnlSoroS, Nov. 24.-The talk among
those Democratic members Of Congress
who have arrived. here, is sufficient to
show what subjects are 10 receive early
attention at the coming session. There
will DO a strong effort from the FIRST TO
keep the hot.headed ones still. While the
policy Of restraint was regarded as very
necessary long before the close OF the
extra session, 1t seems TO be considered as
very vital now, II will DO difficult for the
leaders to maintain silence, as Is admitted
by all here, In view OF the fact that the
Republicans will have abundant oppor.
tunltis to recall the threats Of the extra
session and It's blunders, but II there Is
discipline enough in the party, moderate
speech will he maintained.
There are, however, Republican provo.
cations in store which will soreIy try these
resolutions, and probably break the
Democracy in both branches away FROM
these promised moorings, The indica.
tons are strong that the leaders OF the
Democrats will attempt 10 divert attention
from the extreme greenback positions
taken by so many Of their party, by re-.
opening the questions Of tariff, and thus
fixing the attention OF the commercial in.
terests Of the country upon the full discus.
sion OF a general revision Of duties.
Coupled with this there will be vigorous
bid for popularity through a movement
for reducing taxation. While the green.
back men, in spite Of the crushing defeats
Of the fall election, are pretending that
they still have vigorous life, the Democrats
give them no encouragement, but, on the
contrary treat them with GOODNESS in all the
talk heard here. The idea Of the Demo.
cratic managers seems 10 be that the soft
money element OF their party can retreat
from the financial positions which have
proven 80 disastrous, and substitute in.
stead an attack upon the national banks.
They seem to believe that this can be
made to take tie place Of greenback ideas
In the West, and that such men as Thur
man, and those who have heretofore held
hard money views, can retrace their steps
through such a sitting Of the financial
issue.
The talk over the probability OF the

Two statements are made by the London
TmtI that are Of deep interest to this
country. One is that England will have
to pay this year, as fruit Of her current
short harvest, eighty million Of dollars
more than her usual average for foreign
corn, even should the price rule at u
figure which is below the present Calcula.
ton Of the bcst.InforRed statistiCians. In
France the grain crop is as bad as in Eng
land, and what is more, the grape harvest
is at least u fourth deficient in quality and
quantity. The loss to both countries by
these untoward OBJECTIONS is estimated as
being equal to six months OF their respeC.
tive revenues. The second statement OF
the Tins to which We refer is about but.
ter. Ilasserts that there Is to be no more
salt butter. The Aylesbury Dairy Com
pany have devised a new treatment
for this Indispensable article which,
it is affirmed, completely preserves
1t without any sailing whatever. In
proof Of this important assertion the
Times says that butter treated by the new
process was placed in firkin on the cath
OF July, and on the cath Of October it was
found as sweet and fresh as when first
put in. II unprepared It would have been
quito spoiled. The consequence Of this
discovery, which seems TO DO almost too
good to be true, will rebound to the great
advantage Of the United States. Unsalt.
ed butter will be shipped from this coun.
try in vast quantities, and one Of the most
perplexing and annoying difficulties Of
our own households will also be removed.
No doubt the first notion OF American
farmers on hearing this story will be 10
laugh at it. They will scarcely credit that
a thing at once SO desirable and so appar-
emily impossible eau have been found out

not have to wait long for The joyful DEM

The striking feature OF this table is the
enormous growth Of the Western States.
This growth is equal to anything known
in American history, although the period
overs tho six years Of "panic" and de.
preston. from 1878 TO 1870. Colorado, for
instance, increases her postal receipts
nearly hco thousand per csnl. Nebraska
jumps from SOL, 900 to s254,OOO, Kansas
from $4,000 to s5O4,OOO, Oregon from
$4,000 to sl24OO0, and 80 on. Should
this same rate Of increase continue for the
next ten years, some OF the new Western
States will rank with the greater States to
the Eastward. The other Western States,
like Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and
Iowa, about double their receipts, and in
some instances more than double them.
Every State In tho Union shows a hand.
some increase, the New England and
older Southern States showing the least
per cent Of increase.

Fired His Own House.

On Monday night last tho residence OF
Prof. J. Lewis in the northwestern por~
ton of Summit was totally destroyed by
fire, together with a greater portion of the
household effects. The particulars as we
learn from Mr. W. 2. Gleaves are as
follows. Mr.. Lewis had been on spree
and had made himself very disagreeable to
his wife and step-dnughter, Mrs. Gleaves.
Soon after dark, he went to Mr.. Gleaves'
house, and proceeded to curse and abuse
his wife, until Mr.. Gleayes arrived, and
administered chastisement, justified by his
proceedings. Mr.. Lewis then left, saying
he intended to have Mr.. Gleaves arrested
but was followed by the latter until the
former reached his own house, where he
proceeded to lock the doors and put down
the windows. In few mfnuters light
was seen In the three front rooms of the
house, and before the alarm could be given
the flames had attained such progress that
it was impossible to arrest them, and the
building was soon reduced to ashes.-- Sum-
nit Times.

No Yellow Fever IN Grenada - The
Physicians ali Agree.

On Monday morning the citizens of Gre.
NADIA were thrown into great CONSERVATION
and alarm by the report that there was a
case of yellow fever in town. The report
flew not only over the town and county,
but over the wires to distant points.
This information brought to the scene
Drs Mcfarland and Grant, of Water Val
ley, and DIR. R. w. Mitchell of Memphis,
the latter being member of the National
Board of Health.
Examinations of the patient In little boy
five or six years of age) were made on
Monday evening and Tuesday morning
after which meeting of the physicians
was held, and a unanimous decision ren~
dered that the patient did not have yellow
fever. This statement is based on the official
and professional prORuRcidment0 of the
several physicians present, including DR..
Mitchell, who is well known to the whole
country as having had large experience in
yellow fever practice.
We congratulate the city Of Grenada and
the contry at large on our fortunate escape,
30 far, from the presence of the much dread
ed disease of yellow fever in our midst. 1t
is to be hoped that the country may rest
assured that, to this hour, ~ o'clock Tues,
day, Sept ID, 1879, there is positively no
yellow fever in the city of Grenada.

Grenada, September %, 1879.

In joy and hope carved on the silent trees,

But sometimes love and truth will keep,

Though time and bark grew Ger the mark once deep

With beating heart and loves delicious throe,
Our names united in the Linden tree.
And when the summer waned, confessed my love
| All, such glory over woods and leal
For looking to the monogram above
We kissed our first kiss meath the Linden tree
Spring bloomed again-and with impetuous wi
To build a home for love-beyond the sea,
parted from my love; and pale and still!
We wept, and vowed beneath the Linden tree.
Five years beyond the stormy oceans foam,

Returning, laid them at my darling's feet.
The church bells rang melodious on the air:

And thus united with my bride 50 fair,

We babe farewell the home, the tree stands nigh

There will go; where thou diest, will die,

As flew in crowds the sparrows to and fro,

Capt. Galceran, in charge of the Jimmie
Baker, arrived at the landing Thursday
morning, after quite long and tedious
voyage from New Orleans, having left that

near being swamped several times on the
trip from New Orleans to the mouth of the
river. The Jimmie Baker is 101 feet long,
