The Present Crop and the Question of
Labor.

AT their meeting on last Saturday the far
mers of Dallas county went direct to business,
They met for the purpose of taking steps to
got labor to gather their corn and cotton
crops, at once admitting they had not near
enough. To this end q committee was APP
pointed upon transportation, TO fix the price
of labor, the me ANTS OF Dallas
asked to cooperate with them, the
whole situation talked over at length and
intelligently, and preamble and resolutions
adopted covering the entire ground. They
meet again tomorrow morning to resume
the subject and take such other action as
may be necessary.
II is presumed commission will be de-
tailed to visit Kansas, and such other states
as may be necessary, to bring down such
amount Of help as may be necessary, or that
can be secu I'd. 1t is said, but how true we
do not know, that half or nearly all the
negroes who have exodusted from Texas to
Kansas would come back if they had the
means, and that thousands from other south
ern states would do the same thing. The
most practicable plan is to advance the money
to pay their passage and deduct ii out Of
their wages. To this end, contracts must be
or should be, drawn up in terms of the law
and parties made to sign before getting on
board the return train. This for the pur-
pose of preventing jumping the bargain.
And subscribers must in advance come to
an understanding about the Proper distribu-
ton of the labor upon arrival so that it can
be eouitably done. There is nothing like
oming to full agreement in advance upon
every conceivable point, for then the organi-
z,tion may not oniv hope to become efficient
but permanent. The work of this association
will not be finished until there is sufficient
labor to utilize every foo, of arabic land in
Dallas county. And if it starts right and
is governed by wise and honorable
heads, this can be done at no other expense
than to nporarily advancing passage money
which will be returned labor and deducted
upon pay days. There is no doubt about
there being an abundance of labor, which can
be secured if we 60 about it in the right
way. But in selecting the commission to go
abroad the greatest care should be exercised.
1t requires ia niliarity with tho naturally sus-
pcious disposition Of ignorant people TO in
duce them to take such step, and as to the
negro, one must approach him in different
way,,iiom white man.
Would it not be we'll enough to open cor
respondence with San Francisco upon
Chinese labor And would it not be well
for our farmers to invite some Of the many
intelligent Germans Frenchmen, English
and Scandinavisns in this city and county to
join and give them the aid of their counsel

Hotel fO1. Sale.

d. P. Sherwood, proprietor of the
Grand Central hotel at Ft. Pierre, offers
the property for sale. This is probably
the best paying hotel property in Dako-
ia, being constantly filled to overhowing
with good class of permanent and tran
siert customers. It is expected that Ft.
Pierre will be the terminus of the North
western railroad. 1t is now the starting
point of two stage lines to the Hills.
The only reason for disposing of this
property is the fast failing health of the
proprietor. Any hotel man who is seek
ing an A No. l investment might find it
to his advantage to put himself in COM
muiication with Mr.. Sherwood, at Fort
Pierre.

partment Of the south, and post it at the
Jeifersonville depot with orders to pro-
tect it against any danger.
The terms of indorsement imply the
exercise Of discretion on my part, which
leads me to write to you before taking
action. In my judgment there is no dan
ger OF the kind referred to. The anony-
nous communication sets forth that
there is movement of the kind at the JEFF
fersonville depot to justify tile movement
of troops to that place. Such movement,
it seems to me, would involve unnecessa-
ry expense, and would create, or increase.
the apprehension, for which there is no
real foundation. There are no arms or
ammunition at the Jeffersonville depot,
and if such force rs is referred to could
be raised for rebellion it is not likely it
would begin by Selling depot of army
uniforms, and, therefore, if there are
grounds for the action of the government,
1 see no danger in anything which will
result from the presentation of the sub
ject to you. If, however, in your better
Judgment company should be sent
there, it shall be promptly done as soon
as you notify me to that effect. As 1
have already said, do not act at once
because in your instructions you say I
"may" send company there, which 1
construe rs leaving it somewhat discre-
tionary with me. 1 am very truly yours,
[Signed WINFIELD s. HANCOCK.
ANOTHER LETTER FROM GEN. HANCOCK.
New York, Jan. 8, 1877.-I write 10 in
close you a copy of the letter I ad-
dressed yerterday to the editor of the
World in reference to an article, spe-
cial dispatch, which appeared in that
paper Sunday the 7th. The World cor
rects the matter in its issue of this morn
ing. would have preferred the pub
lication Of my letter, but as I gave the
editor latitude as to the manner of cor
rection, I cannot complain, I suppose.
l have written to no one on the subject
of my order to go to the Pacific, report
ed by the newspapers, save yourself. I
have said nothing to anyone differing in
letter or spirit from what wrote to you,
and have not seen Buford for years, or
heard of him, nor do know of any per-
son who has in that time met or commun-
icated with him. enclose copy of the
Worlds publication. 1 am very truly
yours, WINFIELD S. HANCOCK,
Major-General.
The inclosure is slip from the World,
asserting that Hancock had been ordered
to the Pacific coast and denial of the
same by Hancock in letter to the
World.
Another letter from Hancock just after
the electoral commission was formed,
gives the opinion of the writer that Til
denis claim had been impregnable, but
that Hayes had many more chances after
the electoral commission was devised.
The correspondence ends with let
ter from Gen. Sherman, expressing the
belief that all danger was over when the
electoral commission bill was signed by
President Grant.

Aug. 26.-Gen. Sheridan, accompanied
by Gen. w. Myers, Col. Sheridan and
Capt. Gregory, Of his staff; II. Conner of

arrived at Col. Dodge's camp, five miles
below the agency. They came through

Chicago, Aug. 26.-Howard, White &
Crowell, of the Commercial Bulletin
have replies from correspondents in $50
counties IN the northwest from August
10th to the present time as to the condi-
tion Of the prospects Of the corn crop.
The result is the discovery that the
stories of drouth have been much exag-
gerated and the frequent showers of the
past few days will doubtless remedy a
greater part of the evil from drouth, the
damage being confined to narrow limits
In other districts the yield will be the
largest on record. This is the case in
Iowa. The summary shows that twenty
five counties report the condition Of the
crop poor, fifty-four report fair, 109 good
and sixty-two excellent. Illinois, the
largest corn state, reports five poor, ten
fair, thirteen good and seven excellent.

General Grant Make, n speec,.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-A Galena special
says: Last night Hon. Phil. A. Orton, in
speech to the republican mass meeting,
gave his reasons for leaving the demo-
cratic party with which he had acted for
twenty years. He introduced Gen.
Grant, who alluding to Judge Orton's
speech spoke as follows: 1 did not intend
to speak when came here tonight. 1
am very much like Judge Orton, 1 have
never made republican speech in my
life, or any kind of political speech. I
am sure it would require some time and
much preparatian to make one of any
length. [ can OF course go little furth-
er than Judge Orton and say, that
never voted a republican presidential
ticket IN my life and but one democratic
ticket, and that was many years ago
when I was quite young man; but
will pledge you my word here tonight
that5if am spared, although shall be
at some distance from you on the second
day of November, I shall return to Gale
ma to cast one republican vote for presi-
dent of the United States, and 1 hope
the city of Galena will cast round re-
publican vote such as it has never cast
before.
