THE Southern Exposition at Louis
vile, KY, will be opened again this
year on the 18th of August, and will
continue until October 9th. This
has been in the past one of the best
expositions in the country, and the
enterprising spirit of the business
men of Louisville is sufficient guaran-
tee that the coming display will sur
pass those of former years in the same
ratio that the industrial interests OF
the country have advanced. Tenn
essee will, as usual, send a large dele
cation of visitors.

Interesting Letters.

A box is said 10 have been recent-
 ly discovered in the cellar of an old house at Cambridge, Md, containing many interesting manuscripts. Among them are several letters that passed between W. V. Murray
 American minister to the N ethers
 lands, and George Washington and Alexander Hamilton ou the subject of Lafayette taking up his perma> nent residence in the United States.
 The correspondence, which is dated between 1796 and 1799, shows that while Washington publicly favor ed such a move, he secretly op- posed it. Lafayette's popularity in the states was extraordinary, and Washington, it seems, feared that by his influence Jefferson would obtain the Presidency, and the country would become involved in the troubles which were then besettlng France. While, therefore, he was openly joining in the jubilation of the nation at the prospect of Latayette's becoming an American citizen, he opened this correspond. ence with Murray, who represen ted the country with France, urging him to put every obstacle il. the way of such 8 step. -EI.

A Hermit Visited by Ney.

Of a hermit who has lived in an old cabin III the western part of North Carolina, longer than he can
 remember, lady who recently visit
 ed him during his supposed fatal
 illness, tells this story: She asked
 hlm his name, so that in the event
 of his death his friends might be
 communicated with. He did not
 give his name, but told her that he
 lived in Lenden; that he was wits ness in a very important case; that
 the suit could not come to trial with out his evidence, that in the interest of one of the parties who did not wish the case to come to trlal he had fled and concealed himself in the mountains of North Carolina, and all trace of him had been lost.
 The only persons known to have visited the recluse were Pierre Duval a F.'cnchman, whe was under B0naN
 parte and lost leg at Waterloo, and the very strange person who came to lhis State shortly after the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte, who resided
 for many years in Lincoln county, and who was believed by some rer- sons to have been Marshal Ney. Many years ago when these three were together, one of the nelghbors stopped and read from newspaper an account of the coup d'elat which made Louis Napoleon Emperor of France. The mysterious person supposed to be Ney had given no intimation of who he was and what he had been, but when this news was read all three gave signs of joy, and talked about the redemp ton of France and the triumph of right. The Haywood hermit and the sup posed Ney then turned and said to Duval: "The Bourbods of France think we are dead but we will re~ turn to France and show them what we can do.' After this declaration both seem to remember that strang> CT was present and they ceased to talk. Never from that day did the supposed Ney make another sign as to who he was and he tied and made no sign. The Haywood hermit is now ST years old and consistently re- fuses to avow his idsntity, and says he will carry his secret to the grave. -Er

month ago. He represented the rowdy portion of the British aristec- racy. In 1876 he was the boon com- panion of the Prince of Wales in India, two or three years later he had domestic trouble and became Texas COW boy; his vices were of the Prodigal son order, while his open heartedness and liberality made him a general favorite.
 Colorado City, thirty miles fur> ther, is true specimen of a Texas mushroom town of 5000 inhabitants. Great cattle wealth is represent here and some first-rate people make it there residence, but it can scarcely be called desirable place to abide in. Abilene is the next town, but as there we enter on eastern quietness and responsibility, your correspon> dent must defer further descriptions for another letter.

THE THREE DANIELS.
The Power Behind the Throne
 To Be.
The Opposition to the Spanish
 Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1T, 1885.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1T, 1885. | Editor Herald:
 The men who are closest to Mir. Cleveland are new men in public
 life, like the non-conspicious chief |. Such are the three Daniels-Lock-
 wood, Lamount and Manning. The latter is just married, has Q good
 thing Tn the proprietorship of the
 Albany Argus, is making money in the banking business and doesn't
 want any office in the Presidential gift. He has been MT. Cleveland's intimate adviser during gubernato-
 rial career, and Sill unau estionably remain a power behind the throne.
 Lamount is characleris tically de-
 scribed in the school boy phrases
 ''Little, but oh, myp" He will be
 the Presidents private secretary, as
 he has been the Governors. Of
 Lockwook the public knows less than of Manning and Lamount. He
 was pacing up and down the Victoria
 Hotel corridor the other day, occa-
 sionally to chat with some dignitary
 of Democracy when his history was
 given by a friend as follows: "Mr. Lockwood's four great historical successes are all connected with Grover Cleveland He presented h ;c Do,,o a in tbo Er,o C0ouort;oa ,e a candidate fer Sheriff, in the Buffalo Convention for Mayor, in the State Convention fer Governor, in the National Convention for President. Lockwood himself, some years ago was a member of Congress. He married Miss Brown whose father was furniture dealer. At his death MT. Brown left $40O0,O00. He was much attached to Lockwood, and willed him million and Mrs. Lock wood another million. There were
 some talk that he might go into the cabinet, but he ain't big enough for that yet.'
 Friends of the Spanish treaty have appeared here in force to convert Senators and member to their way of thinking. Among those who have been seen at the Capitol was a well known New Yorker, who said yess terday; People are opposed to the Spanish treaty because they do not understand it. Some members of Congress condemn it because they have not investigated the subject. As | matter of fact the treaty would largely increase the sale of American products and give us an extended | shipping trade. It will open the ports of Cuba and Porto Rico to the | and agricultural in terests of the United States to the | exclusion of all other nations, with | the exception of fancy articles, Span ish wines, etc, that we do not pro- duce. Cuba and Porto Rico would | buy from us to the extent of seventy 1 or eighty million dollars year. The | adoption of the treaty will be the annexation of Cuba. Our sales of flour, rice, lumber, ma chinery and manufactured goods | will be largely increased. Friends of the treaty are quite confident that it will be ratified by the Senate. Senator Miller, chairman of the foreign relations com mi;tee, is open Y in favor of it, and majority of the committee are behind to view it favorably. Senator Sherman of the is literally opposed to it md if the measure should be de- 'eated in the Senate the result would De due to his efforts. The strong opposition to the treaty, however, comes from the sugar interest of G. E. E.

| lose for moment his self possession or the thread of his argument. With burst of eIoquence that lit up the chamber in a glow of scintillating pyroteehnics, the gallant warrior re- sumed his seat amid the smiles of the fair and tumultuous applause oi the sterner sex. Next came Sam Purdy, wha delivered one of the most finished and eloquent speeches yet heard in the Assembly. He op> posed the measure and pictured the evils that would flow from allowing women to mingle in the filthy pool'' of politics. Then came Gen eral Rollins, who spoke eloquen, ly, scholarly, and forcibly in favor of the passage of the bill. Gen. RoIe lins is finished elocutionist, thor> ough scholar, and a man of original ideas. There is 10 speaker in the House that can com nand closer at tention.
 After Rollins, Judge Porter and Capt. Watkins spoke at length; the former against and the latter in sup> port of the measure. Both gentle men did themselves credit, and ably argued the question from their re- spective standpoints. The debate did not close until darkness had settled on the chamber; and as the and spectators wended their way homeward it was agreed that Buncombe had been fully hons ored and that Her Majesty's English was the only sufferer. The bill to tax
 CHURCH PROPERTY was also the occasion of a lively dee | bate. It was strongly supported by 1 who gave the clergy some | smart raps over the knuck!es. The Captain announced in no unequiv- peal terms his belief in "Reason'' as l the true guiding star for man to follow, and declared, with Paine, hat the "world was his home and | humanity his religion ," After a stormy debate 8 compromise was sffected by exempting from taxation Ill church property of less value han S2, 500.

l From The Miner. | We present to our readers the fole lowing statistics, which are claimed to be correct, in verification of the arguments of Hon. DeForest Porter, of Maricopa, in support of hls bill to establish 8 Territorial Insane Asy> | lum at Phoenix, and which has al~ ready passed the lower house: Expenses insane, 1S77>78,. s 6,464 62 Expense insane, 1879-69 at
 ST per week. 10,723 34 | Expense insane, 1881>S2, at SC per week. 20,567 S9 Expense insane, 1S82-s4, at
 $6 per week. 30,562 40 Taking the above figures as basis of estimate we will discover that our expenses for the insane as it now stands for the next two years will be as follows, VIZ:
 Expenses 1883 and 's4. $30,562 40 Increace of 50 per cent. -. 15,291 20
  This increase is caused by the fact that the last quarter of 1882, 42 pa, ten ts were reported, of which five were discharged, leaving on the first of January 1883, only 37 patients at the asylum. This has been increased as shown by the report for the last quarter of 1884 to 62 patients, of which one was discharged, leaving 61 patients at the asylum on the first day of January 1885, an increase of the difference between 37 and 61 that have been sent 10 the asylum during the past two years, which Is A pa tients In@t have cost the several counties on an average of nearly $500 each to place them within the walls of Dr. Clark's asylum Here we have the additional sum of $12,000, or say $lO,o00 that It has cost some one.
 Now, supposing our insane to cost as much for their care within the Territory as without, to reach that, we issue bonds to the amount of | $1OO, ,OOO of which $75,OO is used for the building, transportation of patients, stock for farm, fencing, fruit trees and vines: For actual exp's we have. .$45, ,843 60 | As bonds will not average

1 PRESCOTT, I CD. IT, 1COO.
 ED. HERALD The heading o1
 this communication is the nom dt
 querae that has already been applied
 to the honorable body now in session
 at the Capital of Arizona. It must
 be confessed that the title is not in-
 appropriate. In the legislative his-
 tory of Arizona, there has not been
 a body so pugnaciously inclined, or one that exhibited so billigerent a spirit. Whether thIs is owing to the peculiar climate of Prescott or to the quality of whisky dispensed over the bars, is something yet open to conjecture; but certain it is that this qulet mountain burgh has never before been painted in so sangumary a hue.
 THE ASYLUM BILL
 passed the House by close majori> ty and for over ten days has slum- bered peacefully in the arms Of the committee on Territorial Affairs in the Council. What Its ultimate fate will be no one at present can tell That there is strong opposition to the measure cannot be denied. The so called economists, who try to save at the spigot and lose at the bung, are all against It. The Yavapai delegation in the House opposed it to- man-with one exception, MT. Nash of Tonto Basin. Judge Porter handled the bill in the Assembly with admirable tact and consumate ability; without his watchful care and sleepless vigilance, the bill could never have gotten through the lower Chamber. He has proved himself an able, faithful and uncom> promising champion of the interests of Maricepa, and the people of your town and county should not forget it, although it is a fact that he has been hampered and handicapped by parties who should be the friends of the Salt River valley. Yet he has gone on in the even tenor of his way, doing his whole duty by the people who have elected hirl. Eeur cor says this in justice to one of the trnest friends your county possesses.
 THE SALARY BILL, of 7hich synopsis has been teie- I graphed you, has not yet been re- ported from the committee to which it was referred. It proposes to give every county officer a stipulated | salary and entirely do away with fees. This bill originated with some of the local capitalists of Prescott who feel that the profits on the sale of their wares is net sufficient to meet the heavy taxation of Yavapai 1 These wiseacres have drawn l bill which, while it may be appli cable to the existing condi ton of ;hlngs in their own county, would hardly suit other political divisions of the Territory.
