Washington correspondent states that Judge
Lochrane, who is general counsel for the
Southern States OF the Pullman Palace Car
Company, now in Washington, says the sup
porters of Grant throughout the South among
business men, are far more numerous than is
supposed. There is a solid conviction among
this class" he says, THAT Grant will beat
any candidate the Democrats may nominate.
The next census will increase the Western
back into hopeless minority, and sectional
ism will then virtually destroy the South
The prejudice against the South is not only
political, it is general Immigrants travel

Russell is man OF energy. He no sooner

needless, therefore, to say that he returned
triumphant FROM the interview. The Duke

Hares and Rabbits.
IRokion Herald. ]

The discussion on the hares-and-rabbits
bill in the House OF Commons indicates
clearly enough the class warfare that Is
gradually sDringiDg up In Great Britain.
The object aimed at in this bill is exceed
inely simple. AS the game laws now stand
the tenant of farm is not permitted TO kill
the game that may be found upon it. The
landlord NAV take il into his head to raise
large amount Of game for the purpose OF
letting out the shooting to some wealthy
cjiy merchant; but though these animals
feed upon the growing crops oil the farmers,
and are even turned by watchful keepers
into their fields, the farmer has no redress,
but has TO endure, without chance OF COM
pensation, the injury they may do to
him. What the bares-and-rabbits bill
will do il 1t becomes law will be to
work partial abatement OF this grievance.
The farmer will have the right to Kill ground
game Of this kind, when found IN his nelds,
within certain months Of the year and GER
tain hours Of each day. That is, the law
presumes that he is not to make sportsman
Of himself bur, when be finds that the RAD
bits and hares are destroying his produce,
be is TO have the liberty to kill them, either
by shooting or snaring, as he may see nt'
That the annoyance Is serious one may De
Judged by the iact tnal QUE VI INC oppVoVio
of the nJesure, Lord Elcho, asserted that
there were killed each year in the couatry
not less than 10000 tons OF this species OF
game. and we may add that the
larger part OF this is killed, not on the
moors and uncutivated uplands, but 10 the
farming districts. II is not In the least likely
that this trouble would have been brought
TO the attention OF Parliament II 1t bad not
been for the distress that American compe-
titIon has caused the British farmers. AS
long as the tenant could make money out
OF bis lease, IL hares, rabbits, partridges, and
pheasants ate 8 or 10 per cent. OF his crops,
he was willing TO bear the loss. The Gus
tom was an immemorial one, and English
agriculturists are usually staunch Conser-
yatiyes. But, with the competition that
they now have to encounter, sentimental
considerations can no longer be taken into
account. They find that their profits are eaten
up by the game that they are not allowed to
protect themselves against, and they turn
| to Parliament for relief. The relief that
| they receive Is at least sufficiently mode
| rate for the bill under consideration has
| nothing TO say about partridges and pheas-
iants, which VIII SIN be permitted TO teal

your the standing corn and scoop out the
insIdes OF the Swedish turnips and mangold
wurzels. But then the bill Is not intended
10 reform the game laws, but only 10 par
TALLY abatc their pressure; and II II is true,
as one OF the members OF the House OF
Commons stated, that it IS not an unfre-
o,Ient occurrence 10 find forty or more hares
and rabbits feeding In single inclosure,
the time for this abatement has not come
any too soon.
But those who are Interested as landlords
are raising objections to the bill, and one
prominent country member went so far as
10 style the Government, on account Of It's
Introduction, cabinet OF confscation. II
Is lust here that the dissension we referred
to at the outset is certain to arise. To those
who look from the outside upon the land
question Of Great Britain II seems inevl,.-
BILE that an immense change must take place
IN the system OF ownership aud tenure now
in force; and yet no one can doubt that
every movement In that direction will be
vigorously combated by those whose social
standing is founded on the prominence
their landed estates give TO them. 1t cannot
be terrible loss 10 be deprived OF the ex-
elusive right to capture hares and rabbits,
and yet, from the contention made, one
would fancy that the Government had pro-
posed to forcibly dispossess the owners OF
their lands and divide them among their
tenants. The assertion Is made, with some
reason, that the bill in all probability will be
defeated In the House OF Lords, where the
members are all landlords. 1t is not unlike
ly that this misbap will overtake it; but,
il it does. il will only tend to embtter the
controversy aud hurry on more radical
change than would be brought about II the
spirit Of Cancellation was shown by the great
landed proprietors. II is for their own in
terests, il they would but look at the matter
in a reasonable spirit, TO facilitate the ad-
vantageous occupation OF their own land;
but, as they now consider the matter, every
effort made to utilize the land OF England l.
held by its owners to be instigated by the
sDirit OF agrarianism.

RexImentaI CoIOrs.

From the Pail- mai Gaz@tte'J
The loss Of the regimental colors by both
the Sixty.siXth and the bombay Grenadiers
has revived u controversy which was car
ried on with some bitterness a few months
ago-should regimental colors be abolished
or not? Almost all The practical arguments
are in favor Of dropping symbol which Is
cumbrous and quite useless, which ire
ouentIy causes the sacrifice OF valuable
lives in defending 1t. aud never in modern
times has influenced the fate OF an
engagement. Mobility is the great aim OF
the present day, and the colors tell against
It, On the other hand, there are sentimental
considerations which, like those that long
guarded the sanctity Of pietails, constitute
4 force. and must therefore be respected.
Perhaps this, like many another English
military difficulty, may be settled satisfac-
torily by recognizing the essential difference
between peace and war organization. In
peace, as much pomp and parade as we
please: In war, the sternest simplicity. We
suspect that very few regiments would OBJ
iect to leaving their c0Iors In safety when
going upon a campaign.

The JoHSgr0y-wI DrELI1yG CASE Con.
TIHuGD.-Tbe case OF DR.. George Ben.
Johnston, charged with being about to en-
gage In duel against the laws OF the State
OF Virginia. was called In the Police Court
Yesterday morning. The courtroom was
well filed with spectators, including quite
a number OF the members OF the bar and
friends OF the accused. DIR. Johnston was
represented by Judge Minor, Henry Il.
Wickham, and c. V. Meredith.
The names Of Major John Poe, Jr.,
Messrs. s. B. witt, w. w. Gordon, and
John ID. Smelling were called as Witnesses.
Major Poe and Mr.. Witt being the only
witnesses present, were sworn, but did not
testify.
Mr.. Meredith moved the Court for con-
tihuance OF the case, saying that 10 would
be unjust to go into an examination while
the other patty (Mr. John S. Wise) was at
large.
Justice Richardson said that he did not
think that the ground assigned by the
counsel that the other party had not been
arrested was legal ground for continu-
ance, but from information received from
the Chief OF Police that there are two ma
terial witnesses for the Commonwealth abb
sent he would not go into an examination,
but would continue the case until next Sat-
urday.
DR.. Johnston was admitted to bail in the
sum OF $4,000 for bis appearance at court
Saturday, with Mr.. John Purcell as sure
ty. One OF the conditions OF the recogni-
zance was that DIR. Johnston should keep
the peace towards all citizens OF the Com
monwealth, and that he should not be con-
cerned in duel, directly or indirectly, in
this or any other State. Last night Mr..
Wise had not been arrested, the officers be-
ing unable 10 find him.
