Warrington Letter.


W "ShiiS iStOnj ~ O.Y y ulc IL, iooV,
Congress has adjourned, leaving our
village to resume that degree of ex-
trene quietude which characterizes
the recess. Though our census taker
shows that we now have population
of 10000, an increase since 1870 Of
nearly 10000 people, yet the absence of
all manufacturing industries enables
Congress, by its presence, to exercise u
marked effect upon our city's business
and particularly upon the streets and
promenades. Our hotels are, through
adjournment, half closed. and every
other channel of trade or business, or
pleasure-secing or going, is similarly
affected. Adjournment to us is as
Jack Frost to summer resort. The
Capitol is deserted. Its bright flags
which faunted SO gaily over the halls
since the first Monday of last Deem
Der, are furlCd. The crowd which
thronged the Hobbies have migrated
and we shall see no more Of hem till
next winters harvest of spoils brings
them back again to us. The House
proceedings during the last twenty
four hours OF the session had less of in
terest and excitement in them than we
have ever seen in the past. AT 4
o'clock on Tuesday it adjourned till 10
z. NJ. Wednesday, which gave but
two hours for business before the hour
of final adjournment arrived. This
unprecedented action avoided therush,
excitement, and turmoil attending the
last hours Of Congress, where they are
devoted to one prolonged session, ex.
tending through the whole night and
until noon. In some respects it was u
wise proceeding, for it killed score OF
swindling thieving measures, whose
friends had hoped to drive into pas
sage under the usual press and inatten-
zion of the last hours, while other
and meritoriou5 bills are merely de
iayed.
Now for Cincinnati. The track is
clear for passage there, and very
large portion Of our departing solous
have turned their faces to that ap-
proaching scene Of strife, which will
prOVea Waterloo to the ambition and
aspirations Of many a great statesman
whose eyes are fixed on the White
House. We won't indulge in prophecy
as to the successful candidate. for we
find ourselves in precisely the same
quandary on that point that we were
in prior to the Chicago Convention.
Our foresight then only covered thos
who would not get the prize; and just
SO now, Messrs. Tilden, Bayard, or
Thurman may he successful, but we
doubt it. The under current passing
here sets rs strongly against these gen
tlencm rs it did against the three
prominent names Of the Chicago Con-
vention.
The friends Of General Garfield
gave him rousimg reception on We'd
nesday NIGHT, and INDUCED in the Gus
tOmary spread-eagle orations. Gen.
DeVens was one OF the orators, and
paid fulsomc compliment to Ohio
But as our thoughts would 70 back to
charlottesville, where his treatment
Of our brigade, composed largely Of
Ohio soldiers, intensely embltorcd Us
against him, we fear we took his fiat

The Original Garfield Man.
philadelphia Prcss.l

Philadelphia Prcss.l
Mr.. w. A. NJ. Grier the Hazleton
banker, who has gained good deal
of notoriety by having been the origi-
nal Garfield man at Chicago, was at
the Continental Hotel last evening
Mr.. Grier was called upon by a Preos
reporter, but he at first positively de-
clined to be interviewed, and it was
only after a good deal OF deliberation
that he consented to answer the ques-
tons propounded to him:
when did you first begin to sup
port Mr.. Garfcld?u
"On the second ballot"
What was your intention?r
II thought from some information
had obtained very soon after the
Pennsylvania protest was signed that
a union could be effected upon Gar.
field; and, therefore, my action was
deliberate and with u purpose, and
with an understanding with some
other parties that at the right time
they would come to my help"
ibid you then have any faith that
General Garfield would he nomin-
ated?"
Yes; thought the chances were
good, though l believe u movement
by the Grant people in favor of Mr..
Ednunds at the right time and in the
proper way might have made him
the candidate of the convention, but
the opportunity was lost.
ibid you vote for Garfield all the
time?n
"All except five ballots for Wash
bume-from the fourteenth to the
nineteenth. l cast these ballots
merely as Il compliment, and it was
still my purpose to support Mr. Gar
field and my expectations were that
he would be the nominee"
WAS there any other steady sup
porter OF Mr.. Garfield?n
My colleague, DR.. Thompson, voted
with me for several ballots"
at has been stated that Mr. Taylor
Of Bucks county voted with you for
Garfeld?n
"That is Il mistake Mr.. Taylor
voted for Garfield Oh The last ballet
only. BY the way, Mr., Wharton
Barker, Of the banking firm of Bar
ker Brother u Co. of this city, had as
much to do as any other Individual in
bringing about the nomination OF
Gen. Garfield"
I'm what way?n
"Nlr Barker came 10 Chicago with
Mr.. MacNcngh MIR. Pennypacll5r and
others Of the anti-Grant men. [ met
him, having long known him, and we
Immediately talked matters over. He
stated the idea about the PENNSYLVANIA
protest, and after consultation with
MI McMancs, it was subsequently
signed. We signed that protest with
the understanding that it was not to
be used unless there were at least
twenty signers. Then Mr.. Barker
and talked over the chances of the
candidates. He was against Grant,
and l told him I thought Blaine
would be weak under the rircunlstan-
ces. lie agreed with ma and suggested
Gdmunds or Garfield, saying that he
rather favored the latter. I said J did
also, for the reason that Garfeld'g
tariff record was good; that lie was q
pure, good man of great ability; was
popular with the people, and with
him we could carry the October elcc-
ton in Ohio, which would give It's
great prestige. | also suggested that
if we did not nominate an Ohio man
the Democrats might name MI Payne
and that State might thus be lost to
US. then told Mr.. Barrier that |
would support Mr.. Garfield.

The Washington correspondent Of
the New York Times has learned
that in the rebel records captured at
Richmond was found 4 commission as
colonel in rebel infantry regiment,
made out in the name of Thomas z,
Bayard, present senator from Della
ware. There is, Of course, no prctense
that this commission was ever offered
Mr. Bayard, but it is inferred that a
commission would not have been
made out i'll his name if it had not
been believed by the rebel authorities
that Senator Bayard was in svmpathv
with them. At any rate the dover
speech ANA this commission wou}d
make heavy handicaps. The same
record that Implicated Hendricks as
a member of the Knights OF the
Golden Circle also include Daniel w.
Voorhees,.

"FOREIGN MAIL"
PARLIAMENTARY,

Steamship agents in Now York say
that potatoes for Ireland are the com
monest thing in the world" and oat-
meal is frequently shipped to Glasgow.
Of late large consignments of but
ter have been shipped in ten-pound
packages, enclosed in cans, to Sect
land. The shipments were received
in good order ard sold recently at
373 cents per pound.
Shipments of American hay to
England have resulted in remunera-
tive returns. It is quite likely that
the low rates of steamer freight now
offered may stimulate the export trade
in baled hay.
The Go1os reports that the crops
in 1876 were unsatisfactory, and this
fact is causing apprehensions of dis
tress in several provinces. The
newspapers now discuss the probabili-
ty of the necessity arising for the i'm
portation of American grain into Rus
STA in the spring.

Minnesota farmer, intends to cultivate

DEMERARA SUGARS.

A special to the North Amer;caH
says: When the Ways and Means
Committee had the sugar question be-
fore tia Jew daysago, Judge French,
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury,
upon being questioned in relation to
tie Demerara sugars, fatty asserted
upon the responsibility Of the depart
ment that they were artifcially colored
in order to evade the revenue, and
gave the contradiction direct to TIE
evidence and analysis of Mr.. Nat.
Nc Kay, of Philadelphia, and other
testimony to the effect that they were
not so colored. This assertion OF
Judge French, now that the Treasury
has removed the order debarring these
sugars, and they were again coming
into the country, has created a great
deal Of indignation, not only among
the sugar interests but elsewhere.
Your correspondent to-day had an in
terview with Sir Edward Thornton,
the British Minister, in regard to the
matter. He said that he was greatly
surprised at the evidence of Judge
French. When the United States
Treasury issued its order against the
Demerara sugars, he continually the
Lieutenant Governor of BEtishs Gnia-
na, who was then acting Governor,
appointed a commission to thorough
ly test these sugars, and ascertain
whether or not the charges OF the
lifted States government were corr
rect. This commission performed its
work thoroughly, and took evidence
under oath. 'This evidence and re-
port were forwarded to me-" said Sir
Edward Thornton, "and I transmit
ted them to Secretary Evarts, who in
turn sent them to the Treasury. The
opinion I formed upon reading them
carefully was that the sugars were all
right, and I was surprised when I
heard Of Judge French's evidence,
and especially so when I ascertained
that while he was reading it he held
in his hand the report Of this Dene-
rara Commission" MI. Perot, the ex-
tensive sugar-refner and importer Of
Baltimore, means to take steps to
contradict Judge French, and an in
teresting controversy is llikelyt 70

Thcso words should be repeated on every
stump, at every political meeting, in South
Carolina, for they oro, at once, the vindica-
tion of the white Democrat aud tho justif..
cation Of the oolorod Democrat. The Dem.
ooraoy in this State havo oontonded, from
the beginning, that through the whito
citizcns of tho State the oolored man must
obtain security and absolute freedom. This
conviction undorlay the Democratic plat.
form in 1876 and 1878, and tho coiorod
people see for themselves that t..cy havo
evory right they had before, and have bo..
sides, in the low taxation and tho growing
prosperity, advantages that their former
leaders could not givo them. Yet many
arc restrained from joining tho Democratic
party oponly by the fear that they will be
denounced rs traitors to their rooo. The
article of the Now York Times coupled
with tho course of tho Republicans in Vir-
ginia, lays that spectre of distrust forever.
Tho colorcd people arc told IN language
that all can understand, and coming from a
source whose authority is hnrd to deny, that
tho only Ways to quiet and contcntmonl
and fortune open to them, as citizens, arc

bodies now controll ng the government Of
the States of tho South. They must be

that they have none to look to, for protcc,

the blessings of life, liberty and the pur..

Mr.. Blaine was followed by Thomas M.
Marshal, of Pittsburg, but his speech was
only heard by the reporter and was very
brief.
Is. Stooket Matthews next tried to ad-
dress tho surging aud screaming crowd of
human beings in front of the stand. Ho
started out to show that "the reason the
Democrats chose Hancock was not bocouse
his white Navarro like plumo was seen on
every battle field, but that despite his pure
personal character, they recognized in
him ono who would bo subseryient to their
wishes.
"Three cheers for Hancook!' Was
shouted noar the stand and responded to by
hundreds.
"You'd better take out your cheers for
HANCOCK" shouted the speaker, ouly to get
u response in tho character of renewed
cheers for Hancock, without any counter.
action from Republican throats.
"Snppnsc you hurrah now for jeff Dayis,''

The crowd laughed again, and then tho
cheers for Huucock were renewed as if iu
defiance, although the people seemed good
natured. Finally GarGcld's namo was
shouted by somo ooc near tho League
Building, and three hearty cheers were
given.
"Bad manners" resumed Mr.. Matthews
in undsguiscd disgust, "cun always gel

"that in Pennsylvania ph. adeIp hia--
