milled and have a dull appearance.
Counterfeits of the 500 Treasury
note of the series of 1875 are also
afoat.
The Bourbons, we hear, are to
have their extra session of the
General Assembly, to meet August
18th. Nov let us see what they
will do with the costly thing.
1t is learned that the prospects
for large and fine tobacco crop
throughout the Petersburg section
this year are very encouraging.
The crop will be the largest known
for years.
Reports from the cholera infected
districts of France show that great
restitution and suffering prevail.
Thousands of people have fled from
Il6lr HOmtS.
The indications are good for Re-
publican success both in Tennessee
and North Carolina, as we'll as in
Virginia and West Virginia. A
long pull, strong pull and a pull
altogether, and the South will be
Olsen thralled from BOurbOniSm.
A terrific cyclone, coming from
the southwest, passed over Eden
ton, n. c., causing fatal injuries,
prostrating houses, fences and
trees in the town and doing great
dana &c to the cotton, corn, other
crops and farm property in the
neig hborhood. By the blowing
down of Longs large warehouse
and Bonds hotel, two negroes were
killed. In other sections of the
town several persons were injured
seriously, but not fatally. The
destruction of property is heavy.
The men who have bolted the
ominatiOn Of Blaine are not the
men who swing many votes. On
the other hand, great bodies of
laboring men who have heretofore
voted the Democratic ticket are
coming to understand that the Re-
publican party is and has always
been the cherishing mother of labor.
The indications are that the Re-
publican party will gain ten Demo
Gratis for every vote it loses in this
campaign.
Mr.. John Dewey, editor of the
Irish Nation, in an interview ex-
plains the nature of the widespread
and deep-seated opposition of the
Irish of New York State to Grover
Cleveland. He states very en-
phatically that the bulk of the Irish
American voters of the New York
cities cannot be cajOled, cOaxed, or
bullied into voting for the New
York Governor. The Irishmen i'll
the Empire State are going to ef-
feet a thorough organization for
ClevelaDd'S defeat.
The only hope of Dem ocratic
success is based upon the vote of
the Solid South and of the lower
wards of New York city, the latter
containing the most ignorant,
debased and criminal population
OH the continent. 1t is in these
regions that potent agencies of
Reform must work.
Santa Fee New Mexican Review:
From a perusal of The New York
Herald, New York Times and Boston
Herald we have to come to the
conclusion that Mr.. Blaine is strong
in the United States, but that Eng
land is against him and that be can
not obtain the votes of Mexico,
Spain, Bolivia, Chill, Peru, Patago-
MIA, and that there is even serious
danger in the Sandwich Islands.
His chances for carrying the United
States of America seem to be re-
markably good though.
There has been no political dis
cnssiOn in the late Confederate
states for about eight years. The
Republicans down there have had
no argument to meet except the
ready shotgun but that has been
very powerful, and hence they kept
shady and quiet.
The Republican Congressional
Convention for this district will
soon be held. We say that Wood
stock is the place to hold the same,
and we hope the committee will so
order. We have here the finest
eIs in the Valley, splendid hall
2nlation and one excellent
