THE WORKHOUSE.
Probability that all the Prison.
ers now There Will be Re-
manded 10 the Jail.

The Presidents Island question is
again about to rise to the surface, and
from present indications will create a
considerable ripple. Some time since
motion was made by an attorney in
the Criminal Court to have the writ
of commitment in the case of his eli
emit read Imprisonment in the county
jail" instead Of the workhouse. Judge
Horrigan Overruled this motion, and
the attorney took an appeal to the Su-
preme Court, which has not yet rem
dered an opinion.
A few days since the attorney for
the Walton boys, who are now on the
Island for disgraceful conduct near
the city, got out a writ of habeas
corpus which, involved the question Of
the legality of the workhouse as a
county institution. Judge HorrigaD
has the matter under consideration,
and will render an opinion in day or
two, which it is believed will be
against the workhouse, and will result
in an order to the Sheriff to remand to
the jail all county prisoners now con-
fined there. Attorney General Tur.
ner states that he has carefully exam
ined the law and is satisfied the county
has no right to send prisoners To
Presidents Island as there is no ACT
making it workhouse. He looks
upon it as a rather curious AID perhaps
a rather serioua oversight. Persons
who have given this matter careful
consideration, talk about tho propriety
Of persons confined there laying action
for damages.

Fayette county, Tenn, failed in bust.

quence that was exempt from execu-
ton. The creditors fought him IN
the courts, and the fact was brought
out that for months prior to his fail
ure he had been converting his goods
into property which could not be
touched by creditors because exempt.
The jury decided the case against
Fields and in favor of the creditors.
The fact that he assigned on tho day
be did, cut no figure in the decision.

But it is noteworthy that while the
number has increased fifty per cent in
the former State it has decreased one
per cent in the latter In Texas, Col
orado, Nevada and several Of the
Territories there has been a most en-
couraging development of this indus
try. Texas is still the great cattle
State, but in the rate ofincrease it has
been surpassed by most of the other
States. Iowa leads in swine, being
credited with one eighth of all in the
United States, aud showing the enor-
nous increase Of nearly three hundred
and fifty per cent. The magnitude of
the dairy industry in New York is
shown by the return of million and
half cows, which is nearly double
the number reported in any other
State.

Live stoek In the Unitod slates.

The census bulletin just issued,
giving the statistics of animals on
farms 10 the United States, June !,
1880, shows that the increase of live
stock since 1870 has been much
greater than that Of population, but a
good deal less than the advance in the
yield Of corn. While the growth of
population was 30 per cent and of corn
production 13l, the rate ofincrease of
horses was % per cent, milch COWS 80,
cattle &c, sheep "a and swine 80 The
increase of sheep is apparently less
than that Of population, but in reality
it is believed to be greater, owing to
the fact that the census returns
Of 1870 include large mum.
Der of spring lambs which
are wholly excluded from the
statistics of 1880. The leading wool
growing States are California with four
and Ohio with Eve million sheep.

LeVy's Diabelerie With The Cor.
net.
New Orleans Timoa- Democrat

NeW orleans llmes-DemOcrat.
Yesterday morning at IL o'clock, at
the invitation of Levy, the great cor
net virtuoso, quite number of the
gentlemen of the press as embed at
Coliseum Hall, on Bienville street, to
hear in private an exposition of what
really could be done with that instru-
ment. The object of the rendezvous
was not to display his powers in the
performances Of any solos, but simply
to illustrate what with long practice
added to natural abilities could be
brought out of a musical instrument.
the compass of which has hitherto
been limited to two and half octaves;
The West End band was present for
its own rehearsal, and assisted when
necessary in Mr.. Levy's exposition.
To add TO the pleasure Of the coca
sion, Mr.. Levy gave first some difficult
selections, which amply evidenced his
entire mastery of the manipulation as
we'll as his marvellous lip movement.
the intricacies Of which he pleasantly
explained in a clear and lucid manner.
With an ease which was apparently
without effort, he sounded four and a
half octaves, and that, too, clearly and
we'll defined. He produced, as accu
rately as if with q piano, four "G's,"
and then the deep, sOnorous lover
&c" There was no struggling e.fter a
note, no half utterance, but each was
full, free and exact.
He explained how such a compass
was reached by him only by thor
ough command of his lip and a proper
gOvernmentof the force OF air respired.
His lip, no said, was peculiar, which
gave him this remarkable power. In
his exhibition he descended one octave
and half lower than the instrument
itself is capable of in other hands.
1t seemed as if his cornet became at
once all the brass instruments of the
band, and when he touched the lowest
note deep trombone could hardly
have groaned more dismally, Then
with the rapidity of lightning he was
away up in the thread like notes of the
piocolo, shrill and ear.piercinv.
SO surprising wore these novelties
with the cornet even the veteran
musicians OF Moses band could not
refrain from evidencing their admira-
zion of the maestao's skill, and APP
plauded loudly.
Then came his wonderful rendition
OF the overture from Tampa, or rather
the violin movement in it. In one
breath he ran through this compli-
Gated and airy piece, giving it all the
shading necessary, and all the exp az
sion. 1t was marvellous, for it took az
seconds to execute it, and all IN one
breath. This carried away his limited
audience, and the menu ers of the
press and the musiciens present ap-
pl91ded enthusiastically,
The oldest votern had seen nothing
that could approach it before. 1t was
revelation, and what was before a
musical exhibition became a NEGRO
mancer's seance, and Levy seemed to
be the magician. There is but ope
wind instrument, and it is the corr ct
and Levy is its prophet.
