truth of the report, and about 8 p
M, asked admittance to their room
After demurring somewhat, the door
was opened, and on the floor the Oft1-
Ger discovered the child, with heavy
chain around its neck Joined to another
encircling Its ankle. The officer 81
once released it from its painful and
cruel position, and placed DR.. Bean In
arrest. He was arraigned before Squire
Harris yesterday for assault and bat
terry and fined $50, in default OF pay
ment OF which he was committed tC

The child was sent to the orphans
home yesterday, until some further
disposition can be made OF her. She

POSTAL MATTERS.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Judge
Freeman, assistant attorney general
for the postofice department., has
decided that where third or fourth
class mail matter is deposited in a
postofice insuficiently prepaid, or
where first class matter is deposited
without one full rate, the postmaster
should not forward it; but if by in~
advertance it is forwarded, the posts
master at the Office Of delivery
should only collect the postage
remaining unpaid. He also decided
that if first, third or fourth class
matter be deposited in a postoffice
without any prepayment it should
be held, but if forwarded by mistake
the amount collected upon delivery
should be double the p3ztage which
should have been prepaid.

Senator Conkling Ready for the
Fight.

Especial to the Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, July ia gentle
man is in the city who met Senator
Conkling few days ago. He says the
New York senator discusses the cam
paign with great interest. He is not
going to Europe this summer, and
never thought Of such a thing. He
will go salmon fishing two or three
weeks during the hot weather, but will
be found in the thicktst Of the fight in
New York when the ball opens. He
declares respecting the statement OF
his dissatisfaction that the wish was
father to the thought, and it is utterly
without foundation. 1t is not signifi-
cant that Senator Conkling has not
entered into the canvass yet by way oi
speaking; no one else has done so, ex-
cept in October states, and then in but
one or two instances. Weaver ia about

THE WALLACE INVESTIGAT-
ING COMMITTEE.

NEW YORK, July 17.--Before the
Wallace investigating committee to.
day Commissioner Davenport said
that some illegal naturalization papers
Of 1858 are s.ill out, and that during
the coming campaign he will consider
1t his duty, If complaint is made, to
arrest the parties Offering them.
After recess, the examination o!
Davenport was continued. The wit
ness said he did not think there were
any good 1858 papers, at least very
few. He believed that the Ger.
tificates issued by supreme and
superior courts in 1868 could be safely
attacked for fraudulent issue. Senator
Mcdonald asked the witness if he in.
timsted that Judges McCunn and
Barnard acted fraudulentIy, to which
be replied that he intimated
no such thing, but said
they did. After few more questions
Senator Wallace said they had reached
a corner, and adjourned the hearing til
Monday.

THE CROPS.
WASHINGTON, July 16.

WASHINGTON, July 16.
Tennessee reports only percent
age of Ga, owing to the drought.
Kansas and Nebraska, from same
cause, report only 81 in the former
and 63 in the latter. In all sections of
the country the prospect is good for
good crop. There has been no
change in the area planted in pota>
toes in the whole country; the deficits
of one state being counterbalanced
by an increase in another. The
condition Of the crop is very favor
able, fully as good as in 1879.
In all the south Atlantic states
the condition of the crop is rather
below that of last year, while in the
western and southwestern states it
is reported above.
A full average condition of rye
and barley is found in all the states
where sown, except in the state of
Nebraska, where the condition is
very low, owing to the drought.
All the states show the wool clip
equal to or greater than last year,
except New Hampshire and Califor-
MIA. Kansas reports an increaee Of
42 per cent. and Nebraska Is. A
vast increase in the territories is ins
dicated by the reports received,
amounting to 20 per cent. In
Texas alone Is per cent. in
crease is reported. A full
average condition is reported
everywhere in apples, excepting
in the southernl Atlantic and gull
states where there is falling off
The reports show the condition o1
the peach crop to be about the same
as apples, full average, excepting
on the Pacific coast, where the
prospect is not very good.
The grape crop is reported favor
able in all localities, and as having
enjoyed better conditions of growth
so far than either apples or peaches

The proceedings were conducted in

the number of people who registered

WE were asked yesterday who was
the Hon. Philo A. Orton, of Wiscon~
sin, who although life long demo-
crst had announced himself publicly
for Garfield. We will answer that
question for the public. For fifteen
or twenty years he has been a pillar of
the democratic party Ia that state. He
has been the democratic candidate for
state attorney.general. for presidential
elsctor. and in 1875 was a candidate
for congress In the third district, but
was defeated, although he polled much
more than his party vote.

IMPROVEMENT IN FARMING.
What Is Being Done in Some
Localities.

In another column will be found the

ite' grain dril', manufactured by
Bick ford & Huffman and sold in
this section by Gid. 81. Strong, of
McMillaD's station, and 7. J. Craw-
ford, OF Graveston, agents. The drill
was sold all through this section last
season, and especially in the north
eastern portion OF Knox county aud
in Jefferson county. 1t has given uni
versal satisfaction and no one who has
tried it could now be induced TO dis
pense with 1t.
In the section o: country spoken Of,
the wheat crop has been excep ionsIly
good, owing to the Improvement in
farming and the Use Of fertilizers.
A few weeks ago Mr.. James Shipe and
Mr.. T. J. Crawford purchased q
threaher and a steam engine to run it.
They threshed over nine thousand
bushels of wheat within radius oi
one and s-half miles Of Washington
church, in this county. We are in
formed that the surplus wheaJ which
has already been and is yet to be
shipped from McMillsn's station. on
the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad, will amount to more
for this year than for the last three
years combined. There has been 8
wonderful improvement in farming In

National Republican Campaign.

Especial to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, July 15-Governor
Jewell, chairman of the republican
national com mittee, was in Washing
ton to-day, and leavee tonight again
for New York. he had long con-
sultation with Don. Cameron and Sec
retary Mcpherson, of the congressional
com mittee. He does not expect TO be
in Washington again this summer
He says entire harmony prevails In
the republican ranks. He has seen
leaders Of the party all over the cOun-
try, and can find no feeling among
factions OF the party that were
devoted to various candidates be-
fore the nomination. The republicans
will beat the democrats again he
claims because, as usual, the latter
have nominated man whose life is
contradiction of their whole history,
Just as was the nomination of McClel-
Ian and Greeley. He proposes to make
the campaign as dignified and respec
table as possible, and discourage the
usual mud-throwiDg process. He re-
CARDS General Hancock as gentleman
and he will be defeated simply be-
cause he is a representative in the con-
test of a political party unworthy o.
public confidence, and one in whose
hands the people will not dare to risk
the affairs of the Nation. He says the
national committee are already al
work and will make most vigorous
canvass, but will not begin holding
mass meetings as rule until after the
hot season has abated somewhat.
