ROBBING THE MAILS.
A Negro Route Agent .Nabbed at
Charleston.

CHARLESTON, s. c., July 1O.-Another
scandal has been developed in the post
Office at this place, aud another one
of the light colored elite, who Of
late have found the Charleston
post Office sort of official haven, has come
to grief. John Clyde, route agent be-
tween this place and Wilmington, was ar
rested to-day on the charge of robbing the
mails.
The case has been worked up by two
special agents Of the department, and the
details bring to light very peculiar condi-
tion of affairs.
Clyde is about 81 years old, and is one of
the shining lights of the very upper crust
Of light colored society here. He is mar
ried, and has wife and five children, be-
sides several other establishments of a NOR
ganatic character, the existence of which
has only been brought to light since his ar
rest One of his psrsmours, colored wo-
man whom he brought here from Augusta,
and who presided over one Of his establish
ments, was also arrested.
Clyde is one Of the results of the war.
He first got q place in the custom house
and then in the post office, where he has
been for five or six years acting as delivery
clerk, mail clerk, and lately as route agent
The complaints as to the robbery OF the
mail came from Wilmington, n. c., and the
agents worked up the case. The first theft
discovered was package of shoes, which
Clyde had stolen from the mail, and this
led to other discoveries until the detectives
had a clear case on him, and he was sent to
jail.
The light colored gentry who have since
the war found soft places in the post office
here have turned out badly, no less than
four of them being now in the Albany peni-
tent!ary. The arrest of Clyde has caused
quite sensation in the upper tendon Of col
ored life in the city.

BRITAlN'S REALM,
GLADSTONE SWALLOWS HIS
DEFEAT.
A Proposed Banquet 10 Davttt-The
Lords and the Repression Bill
-ParIlament's Session wasted
Land League subscriptions.

LONDON, July 10--The debate on the
second reading of the Irish repression bill
was commenced this afternoon in the House
of Lords. The bill was finally read a sec
ond time without division.
In the House of Commons, Mr. Gladstone
stated that the defeat of the government on
FRIDAY was unprecedented. The govern
ment would use their discretion in employ
Ing the powers given them, and he hoped It
would not be necessary to employ all of
them. That was all he had to say on the
subject.
Mr.. Gladstone stated he had abandoned
the hope of passing any of the bills men
toned in the Queens speech on the open
ing OF Parliament except the corrupt prac-
tice bill. He said 1t would be impossible to
amend the land bill during the present ses-
sion, and that after the passage of the re =
preston and arrears bills he should ask for
an adjournment, probably until the latter
part OF October, Parliament then to meet
for the purpose of discus sing procedure
only.
Replying to a question by Sir Stafford
Northcote, Mr.. Gladstone said he would
prefer not to answer questions as to the
governments intertion on uhe question of
procedure before the adjournment ia Au-
gust.
The Daily AeaoS learns there has been an
important correspondence With the Cana
dian Government relative to their action in
connection with the resolution of the Do
minioD Parliament approving home rule for
Ireland. The Imperial Government, the
Nea0S says, expressed its emphatic disap-
proval of the conduct of the Dominion
authorities.
1t is proposed to give banquet to
Michael Davitt On his return from America.
Patrick Egan, Treasurer OF the Land
Lesgue, has prepared an account of the
sums he has received from March to June.
The total amount is 9I9,7 mostly from
America.

OUR GREAT STAPLE.
Prospects of the New Crop.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The statistical
returns Of the Department of Agriculture
Tor July, which are very full, show that
cotton has improved since the 1st of June,
Its average condition being three points bet
ter on the 1st Of July. From Virginia 70
Georgia, and west Of the Mississippi, every
State shows higher figures. From Florida
to Mississippi and Tennessee, the condition
has slightly declined. The general average
is go, which is higher than in July of 1873
and 1874 and lower than in any other year
of the past ten. It was SO in 1877 and 1879
and 95 last July. This condition is due to
the late, wet spring, and is rapidly and gen.
orally improving under favoring skies.
The figures of the several States are as
follows: Virginia, S5; North Carolina, 80;
South Carolina, 98; Georgia, 90; Florida,
80; Alabama, 90; Mississippi, 81; Tennessee,
rs; Louisiana, 90; Texas, 81; Arkansas, 90
In Texas and South Carolina the condition
is better than In July of 1881, and the same
as at that date. In Louisiana the drawbacks
reported are those of the past, and are ma
terisllY deficient stands, slow growth and
general backwardness. The returns are
nearly unanimous in indicating good de-
gree Of vigor and rapidity of growth. Thus
far there is only loss of time for develop
ment and fruitage. Future favorable con-
dition may make good the deficiency, but
unfavorable weather in July and August
would make full crop impossible.
