The Situation in Egypt.

ALEXANDRIA, June 1.-THE bodies of the
engineer of the English Ironclad Superb
and Of the two seamen of the Helicon who
were killed in the riot on Sunday have been
buried at sea, as it was deemed imprudent
to risk the danger that might have arisen
from a funeral OH shore. AS the barge con-
tanning the bodies passed the U. S. Steamer
Galena the marines fired a salute and all on
board uncovered their heads.
LONDON, June l4.-Advices from Cyprus
say many English refugees from Egypt have
arrived there
The correspondent of the Times at Cairo
states that Sir Edward Malet, the English
Consul General, desires the British residents
to quit Egypt without an official request,
which might produce panic
The Times correspondent at Alexandria
telcgraphs that the soldiers are openly ask
ing for the deposition Of the Khedive.
The correspondent Of the Daily Ne,os at
Alexandria states that not only women and
children are leaving the country but men
with large material interests in Egypt are
begging passages and leaving their property
behind. Many large capitalists are arranging
to leave Egypt permanently, not in panic
but after calmly calculating the cost of such
a step.

A SUIT TO RECOVER MONEY LOST ON A
GAME OF PoKER.-Last night Dr. Montre-
vile NJ. Hedges, adental surgeon and u sport
ing man, was arrested at Newburg, N. Y, on
a bench warrent issued by Joseph F. Bar
nard, justice ofthe Supreme Court at Pough-
keepsie. The complainant, Francis P Weed
charges Hedges and William NJ. Scott. the
latter now dying of consumption in Calfor-
MIA, with conspiracy to defraud. 1t is stat
ed that the three played game ofpoker in
June, each betting $3.50 600 on single hand.
Weed and Hedges lost. Weed now charges
that the hands were put up by Hedges
and Scott, they to divide the winnings. Weed
had recently received from the estate his
deceased father fortune estimated at about
$500, 900. Ofthe amount lost it is stated that
Weed paid the defendants during the year
over 500, 900, having compromised for $780,
600, and that $l5, 900 is yet due on an unpaid
note. This Weed now desires to avoid pay
ing and has begun attachment proceeding
against Hedges and Scott to recover as much
a. possible ofwhat they have already receiv-
ed. An effort is being made to secure valu-
able trotting horses owned by Hedges which
are now at the races in the West. The af-
fair causes much excitement, some of
the parties being highly Connected, and
there are plenty ofrumors ofstartling devel-
opments that may come to light. During
the trial to-day Weed swore he lost $3.50, 900
at poker in one hour.

Rappahannock river, short distance above

attempting to cross the river in small,

fright from the rapid filling of the boat and
jumped overheard. This act upset the boat

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE IA, 1882

SENATOR GARLANDS substitute for the
Tebbs bill is all right rs far as it goes. but it
doesn't go far enough. In other words it
does not provide, as it should, for the entire
and unconditional repeal of a statute that is
not only unjust and offensive, but entirely
useless. The youngest officer in the I. s.
army who resigned to enter the service of
the Confederate States must now be over
fortytwo years of age, and no such eX-
officer would go back to the army as junior
second lieutenant, the highest rank at which
his his rc-entry could be made This shows
that the statute referred TO has no practical
effect, and only tends to perpctuatc resent
ment and unpleasant memories. That its
continuance is unjust is apparent to every
unpreudiced man, provided he be we'll in
formed, for all such men know that up to
the commencement of the civil war the
cadets at West Point were taught the doc
trine of State rights by the text books used
at that military academy. Men who acted
in accordance with the belief in which they
had been inculcated, who acted from princi-
pie and against self interest, should not be
disgraced by the Government which instillcd
that principle into them. EX-ConfcderatcS
who were once officers in the l. s. army arc
no worse than many, and arc much better
than some who were not, and every right
thinking man in the Senate will vote to re-
move the gratuitous and useless rcproac
that is allowed to remain upon them by
Senator Garland's bill

The Commonwealth of PENNSYLVANIA has
attached the securities representing S9OOO.-

In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Maxey an
nounced that applications for donations of

Ehe tenor OF the reports as to the growing
crops is, on the whole, very encouraging.
The wheat crop is rated far above the aver
age. The corn crop has everywhere been
much thrown back by the late rains Oats
are little below the average. The pros
poets of the hay crop are immense. Potatoes
are doing remarkably well.
CattleRaising has heretofore been almost
an unknown industry in Georgia, but with
in the past few years increased attention has
been given to the matter. until it is now stat.
ed that fully one-half of the cattle eaten at
Atlanta are raised i'll Georgia. This keeps a
great deal of money in the State which has
heretofore gone West.

PRACTICAL COTTON manufacturers in the
North are forced to acknowledge that the
South has superior advantages to those pos
sessed by their own section for their bust
ness. Let the tariff on cottons be removed
and the superior advantages referred to will
be availed of ut once by the men who arc
now engaged in cotton manufacture in the
North. They only remain where they ar,
gov because the tariff enables them to real
such large profits that they can afford to
ignore those advantages
