Yesterday telegram received here
indicated that the President was q
little better than for a day or two
previous. He had been able to re-
tain some nourishmeut and his pulse
was not so high, though still above
100. The country is watching every
indication from the White House
with an anxious eye and bated breath
with the vain hope of hearing good
news. While this is the case the
minds of the people may as well be
prepared for the worst as the chances
against the President 100 to /. AL
though the sufferer is a man of strong
constitution and indomitable will,
his long confinement has weakened
him to such an extent that recovery
is almost out of the question. While
his physicians keep up cheerful ap-
pearance and are quick to give en-
enlargement, they have very little
hope of his ultimate recovery and the
question of his dissolution is but one
of q few weeks.

A Volcano i'm Idaho.

SAN Francesca, Aug ia dis
patch from Lewiston, Idaho, says
that there was volcanic eruption in
the mountain south of the South
Fork of the Clearwater, about twenty
miles east of Mt. Idaho, on the 9th
inst. The mountain sent forth col
umn of fire and smoke several hun
dred feet in heigth, and rock which
fell at distance Of several miles from
the place of eruption. The shock
was distinctly felt at Mt. Idaho, on
the extreme west of the Camas pra;-
RE and at the mouth of Salmon River,
a distance of about seven ty five
miles.
Later news from Camas Prairie
says that column Of smoke is issu-
ing from the opening, which is dis
tinctly visible from the prairie No
one as yet has approached the place.
Evidences of volcanic action at some
former periods exist in many places
in the immediate vicinity. So far as
appears, the opening is less than q
thousand feet above the bed of the
South Fork of the Clearwater, and
within three miles of the Miner trail
between Mt. Idaho and Florence.

Opening of the School Year.

Two weeks from to-day the fall
term commences at the University.
The indications point to an .auspi-
cious opening. From several coun-
ties heretofore but SHINY represented
come numerous inquiries for terms,
boarding, &c. This is encouraging
not only to the friends of the institu-
ton, but to the friends of education
throughout the State. 1t shows that
West Virginians are beginning to re-
alize the Importance of availing them
selves of the advantages of higher ed
ucation and are improving the oppor-
tunities offered them at home. 1t
costs the tax payers of the State
about as much to maintain the Uni
versity with one hundred students in
attendance as it would if there were
five hundred; hence the economy, if
nothing else, of getting some good
from it. The opportunities that offer
have been written and proclaimed
times without number and it is un-
necessary to attempt to repeat them
in Snort article. We take it for
granted that every one knows. The
object now is to get young men and
and their parents to realize that
prompt action is necessary; to get
them to act in the living present. 1t
is shame and disgrace that young
men should grow up almost under
the shadow of the University steeple
and yet be as illiterate as SO many
hogs. Don't think, young man, that
your native shrewdness will carry
you through the world just as well
without an education as with one. 1t
will do no such thing. While the
University does not promise to fur
nisil you any brains, it will refine
and strengthen what you have and
prepare you for life of usefulness
FAR above anything you may dare to
hope for without it.
So we wouId urge every young man
to get an education. It will do you
more good than money. 1t will last
longer and enable you to procure
money all the faster. Money spent
for education is well invested and
will return hundred fold to the in
vestoP.

The "White Sulphur" correspond
ent of the Wheeling MteUigencer, in
speaking Of the trip of the officials
of the p, S. r. r. over the proposed
route Of the road, says, that at Graf
ton Gen. Geo. w. Brown, of that
place, joined the party and the trip
to the White was accomplished in
five days. Col. Hopkins said there
was no question of doubt about the
money being raised within thirty
days in New York to put this entire
road under contract. Its entire
leugth will be about three hundred
miles and the estimate average cost
of construction about $4,000 per
mile. The engineers and Col. Hop
kins are delighted with the country
they passed through, and are enthu-
siastic over its resources in the way
of soil, timber, minerals and magnif-
cent scenery. Strange to say, Pitts
burgh men will hold but little stock
in the road 1t will be built by east
ern capitalists almost entirely.
Governor Matthews, who is Vice
President of the road, met the gentle
men on their arrival, and on the same
evening meeting was held and
report agreed upon, which will be
more favorable than the capitalists
expect. Said Governor Matthews:
"This road is as certain to be built as
can be-"

would have been among the first to
lay siege to the White House and de-
mand the lions share of the spoils.
with defeat, he turned his coat quick
ly and started out on a new enter
prise to capture the republican ma
chine. He has succeeded by shame
less and corrupt bargain through which
the republican organization sold out
numbers, honor and character to q
handful of political guerrillas bent on
plumber only.
Worse than this, after all the loud
professions Of regard for the public
credit and for honest money, repudia-
ton and its candidates have been
adopted by the republican convention
as their principal and their chosen
leaders. There is really no other
question before the people of Virginia
but whether the debt contracted be-
fore the war shall he paid in good
faith or shall be repudiated. Ma
hone and his followers passed the
Riddleberger bill to strike off one
third of this debt, and to leave the
interest on the remainder at the mer-
cy of the regulators, without any
guarantee for the defrauded creditors
that even these harsh conditions
would be fulfilled. The present Dem
ocratic governor vetoed that brigand
bill and thus saved the State from
dishonor. Hence the question stands
where it was thus left, and the settle
ment of the debt depends upon the
coming election.
Virginia is now in a condition to
pay her debt without strain, and no
additional burden need to be imposed
in order to satisfy the creditors. The
triumph of Malone and his repudia-
ors would be serious blow at the
tpublic credit at time when the South
is rapidly recovering from past pres
tration.
There are thousands Of republicans
who, though they may not like the
Democratic party, will vote for its
candidates, in order to save the State
from the stain of reputation; and of
the thirty-one thousand so-called re-
adjuster Democrats who supported the
Malone ticket at the Presidential
election, there will be but small
showing now that he has gone over
to the enemy and made a new bar
gain for himself.-Sua.

Uprising of the Democracy.

The Old Guard never surrenders
These be memorable words and to-
day they apply with splendid force
to the proud position which the grand
old Democratic party occupies in the
land. Since it retired to make way
for the party of spoils, corruption, cor
porations and Capitalization known
as the republican party, the admins
tration of the national affairs has
been conducted without regard to the
true welfare of the people and but
with an eye single to the advancement
of personal schemes of aggrandize-
ment and profit. The worst rings
for the worst purposes have been
formed, Cabinet officers. have been
chosen for the purpose of plundering
the United States treasury, while ev
cry movement of the republican man
ayers has been toward perpetuating
power which has rightfully grown
obnoxious in the eyes of honest men,
obtaining for the republican party
the notoriety which attaches to the
highest order of criminals. During
the long years of it's plundering reign
it has been trying to force the Dem
ocracv into base surrender. Cheat
ing it in 1876 out Of fair election,
it only saved itself in 1880 by the
vilest practices based upon the whole
sale use of money filched from the
United States treasury. But the Old
Guard has stood steadfastly by its
guns, peacefully and patriotically sub
hitting to the great wrongs that de
frauded it of just and righteous victo
ries, willing to wait the time when
the people smarting under the cruel
weight of oppression laid upon them
by the republican managers, should
rise boldly in their might and over
turn the thieves, scoundrels, schem-
ers and corruptionists who have sat
so long in the councils of the nation.
1t is gratifying to know that the
Democratic party is forming with
solid ranks for an overwhelming sue
cession of magnificent victories in the
near future. From the south comes
safe evidence that all is right there.
From the west we have assurances
that where once the radical beacon
lights were seen, now all is darkness
the glittering rays of Democracy hav-
ing dimmed them by their greater
glory. The educated thought of the
east has taught the people there that
country ruled as ours has been for
the last decade does not invite conf
dence, and they are rallying to the
Democracy in their demand for a
change. In the north the happiest
signs are seen which conyinces think
ing Democrats that all is we'll there.
Thus everywhere, throughout the
length and breadth of the Republic
comes the surest evidence of the Dem
ocracy's grand uprising.-Union-

New Way of Sending Money by
NNn11

Postmaster General James, it is
said, has devised plan for sending
small sums of money through the
mail at a cheaper rate. The divice
consists of card having three col
umns representing dollars, tens and
cents, and the amount to be drawn is
designated by punching out figures.
Two denominations will be issued,
one for all sums within $3.50 and the
other for sums within $500. The
orders will be payable to bearer, and
the postollice will not be responsible
for their safe delivery any more than
for fractional currency, for which
they are substitutes. The orders
will be finely printed on bank note
paepr The postmaster will sell the
$3.50 card for two or three cents pre-
MUM, and the SIS card for four or
five cents premium, and will himself
punch out the amount paid, and the
buyer will simply enclose the card in
his letter, and the receiver can cash
it at any office. The postmaster will
enter the amount of the order on q
stub, which will be the only check
the department will need, rs the
name of the sender and the payee are
not entered. In order to prevent the
use of the postal orders as currency
they are to be redeemable only for
three months from the date of issue.

seventy tons. Scotch coal is mostly
used, with some American.
The number of saloon passengers
on board is ITO; steerage, so; second
cabin, 80; officers and crew, 100
Among the freight is $1,000 quar-
tiers of beef and 300 butchered sheep.
These are preserved by means of a
refrigerator, operating by compressed
air and requiring special engine for
this purpose.
On the second day of the passage
each passenger is supplied with a
chart of the route, containing blank
spaces for recording the number of
miles travelled each day, also the lat
itude and longitude, as ascertained
by daily observations. To-day we
are in latitude 40 degrees and A
minutes; in longitude 38 degrees and
80 minutes. During the last twenty
four hours we have travelled 2S1
miles.
On Tuesday last we passed over
the Banks Of New Foundland, called
by seamen the Great Bank. This is
an elevated projection forming the
sea bottom east and south of the
New Foundland coast, and is regard
ed by scientists as part Of that con-
tinent. The depth of water varies
here from ten to sixty fathoms. We
were about ten or twelve hours in pas
sing over it. The greatest depth of
the sea on our route is about two
miles.
Perhaps this letter is already too
long for the first, and l will cut it
short at this point and enclose it, to
be mailed on landing. In my next I
will tell you something about how
sea going people put in the time to
relieve the monotony Of voyage,
and give whatever incidents worthy
of mention that may transpire up to
the time of our landing, which we ex-
pect to be Tuesday next.

The Repudiators in virginia.

At the presidential election in Vir-
ginia, three tickets were supported as
follows: Regular Democratic, $3.50;
Malone Democratic, 81 ,527; Garfield,
$4,000.
At that time Malone sought to get
control of the regular organization OF
and claimed to be a purer orthodox,
Democrat than the most pronounced
of that political faith. He solicited
the endorsement Of the Democratic
National Committee, and then being
refused that recognition, he formed
his plans for future revenge.

The evidence accumulates that the
negroes who went over to the read
juster camp at Lynchburg were car
ried over by the most shameful bri-
berry. They were poor, easily impos-
ed on and were bought up like sheep.
Their votes will be bought thus at
the election whenever purchase is
necessary. The entire colored vote
in Virginia will be given to repudia-
ton. But though Malone might lead
the negro party into sovereignty in
Virginia, he could not control it after
it got in. This was the history of car
petbagism in the Southern States.
The negroes set aside the bad whites
and began stealing for themselves.
The treasury of South Carolina was
bankrupted, its debt enormously in
creased; the appropriations for the
schools, the insane and even the pen
i.entiaries were stolen. The Pea
body trustees, all Northern men, re-
fused to place any money for the ed
vocational fund in South Carolina be-
cause they saw that it would be sto-
len. To this condition Virginia
would be reduced should the Malone
party get into power there. The is
sue is between civilization and Afri-
canization. The sooner the Virgin
ians understand this the better

Condition Of the Three Staples
..Wheat, Tobacco and Corn.

The following reports of the condi-
ton of the crops were issued last
week by the Department of Agricul-
ture:
The returns of August give con
dition of spring wheat of eighty one,
against lightweight last year and
eighty eight in 1879 at the same time.
Compared with the crops last year
there is reported a heavy decrease in
the States of Iowa and Illinois, q
slight decrease in Minnesota, Nebras-
ka and California, while in Wiscon-
sin and all the New England states
there is an increase. Reports from
Dakota indicate fair crop, with a
large increase in acreage.
The condition of tobacco at the
date of the returns to this depart
ment was somewhat lower than at
this time last year. In the North
and Middle Atlantic States the crop
was reported as better than at this
time last year. In Kentucky, Ten
nessee and Missouri it was suffering
from drought In Wisconsin it is re-
ported better than last year.
The general average condition of
corn on August LIST is seventy-seven,
q very considerable decline since last
month when it stood at ninety. In
August, 1880, the condition was
ninety eight, which however was ex-
ceptionally high. The Atlantic coast
States make a showing somewhat
better than the general average, ex-
cept in South Carolina, where excess
sive drought has cut down the figures
to forty one. Louisiana and Texas
are next lowest of the coast States
from the same cause, reporting sixty
seven and forty-six respectively. Ten
nessee is lowest of the interior States,
it's average falling to sixty four. In
the great corn growing region the
highest reports are ninety five in Wis
consin and ninety-two in Nebraska,
and the lowest seventy-four in Kan
sas.
