Gen. George G. DibrelI, of the Sd
Congressman district of Tennessee,
who commanded Mr.. Jefferson
Davis's military escort on his fight
southwark after Gen. Lees surren-
der, has published a letter, in which
he ridicules the recently published
statement of an officer of a Michi-
gan regiment that Mr.. Davis had
100000 of gold in his saddle bags
when captured. Gen. Dibrell says
that the specie, which was carried
by train Of four wagons and
amountep to S1O8,OO0, was paid to
the troops at Washington, Ga, by
order of Gen. Breckenridge. The
money was paid over by Maj. E. c.
White, the senior quartermaster
present, and each officer and soldier
received the same amount S26 %.
Gen. Dibrell adds: "MaiOr White,
after the payments were all made,
handed me a report in writing of
the amount received by him and
the payments made to each COM
mand, showing how he had disburs-
ed the S1O8,O00. This report I
brought home with me, but have
lost or mislaid it. Mai. White was
a citizen of Anne Arundel county,
Md, but of late / have been unable
to learn his address.

HOW TO SECURE HEALTH

it seams strange that any one will suffer
from arrangements brought on by i'm
pure blood, when SCOVILLS' SAR-
SAPARBLLA AND STILLINGIA, or
BLOOD AND LIVER SYRUP, will re-
store health. 1t is the BEST BLOOD
PURIFIER ever discovered, effectually
curing Serofula, Syphilitic disorders,
Weakuess of the Kidne6s, Erysipelas,
Malaria; all Nervous disorders and De-
bility, Bilious complaints Diseases os
the Blood, Liver, KidneOs, Stomache,
Skin, etc. Il correcas indigestion. A
single bottle will prove to you its merits
as health remover. for it ACTS LIKE
A CHARM.

THE WgBATCR0P ~ 1881.

The Department OfAgriculture, I'M
der dateOf July29, furnishes the New
York Bulletin with a detailed state
ment of the estimated condition of
the wheat crop in all the States and
Territories on July l. From this
table we gather that the general
average condition of winter wheat
was SO per cent, and of spring
wheat 90 per cent. Assuming the
relative proportions Of winter wheat
to be 90 per cent of the total crop
and of spring wheat 40 per cent,
the Bulletin, taking the crop of 1880
as the basis for it's calculations,
shows what the probable crop of
1881 will be according to the follow
ing analysis l9gfs a
Crop Of 1880, as per Department Of
60 per cent Of craU os 1880 ass ssS 1000
40 per cent of crop of 1880 49,. - 1872 $40, 900

This would make the deficiency
of the crop of 1881, as compared
with that of 1880, about, one-sixth.
But as there was an increase in the
acreage of 1881 of about two per
cent, the additional yield from this
cause, in round numbers, would be
about ten millions Of bushels, and
would thus bring up the total crop
of1881 to 422, 526, 400 bushels, which |
would leave the actual shortage
58,000,0O0 bushels Such an amount
of decrease for the year is not, how
ever, to be deplored. In view of
the better harvests and consequently
lesser demand abroad, the shorter
crop viii tend to make prices irmer
than they otherwise would have
been.

PRACTICALLY OUT OF DANGER.

PRACTICALLY OUT OF DANGER.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3--11 .M.-ThS
President is pronounced by the ply
siciansito be practically Outof danger.
They mean by this that the chances
of relapse are so inconsiderable as to
cause almost no apprehension.
Though the day has been very
hot, the President has not suffered,
and this evening diminutiOn OF the
fever is noticed. He has taken
rather more than the usual amount
of nourishment, and his strength is
daily increasing. Since last, night
at this hour he has had between
eleven and twelve hours Of quiet,
natural sleep, and the hypOdermic
injection ofone-eighth of a grain of
sulphate of morphia, which is usu-
ally given. him after the evening ex-
animation, was reduced tonight to
one-sixteenth of a grain, which was
found to be amply sufficient. The
afternoon febrile rise was to-day
trifing, and subsidized before 8 o'clock.
Since that hour the patient has slept
most of the time, and is asleep now,
with every prospect of having a
quiet, refreshing nights rest. In
the ,opinion of the surgeons he is
better and stronger to-day than at
any time heretofore.
1t is probable that there will be
an early removal to the Soldiers
Home, Mrs. Garfield having already
selected the room in the cottage,
and preparations are being made
for the arrival there of the President,
The physicians have promised him
that he may see, Secretary Blaine in
a few days if he continues to do as
we'll as he has done for week.

The Virginia Democratic Conven-
ton at Richmond, last week, nOmi-
mated with. great harmony, Hon.
John w. Daniel, for Governor; JAS.
Barbour, for Lieutenant Governor,
and P, w, Mckinney, for Attorney
General. We have thought that
the Virginia Conservatives were tar
dy in organizing for the campaign,
but now that they have acted, they
have acted wisely. Tt is a splendid
ticket and one that the combined
cohorts of Malone cannot prevail
against. In his address to the Con-
vention, accepting the nomination,
Mr.. Daniel said he had not sought
nor asked for it. AS it had come
without any agencies or efforts upon
his part he obeyed the commands of
the Convention. He was fully in
accord with the platform adopted.
The enemies of the Conservative
party had insidiously sought to
make the impression that he was
opposed to public schools, which he
denounced as false, and said those
who gave it publicity did so know
ing it to be false.
