day, July Is, 1880.
Excessive rainfall has continued
throughout the State with but few
excepted places. The temperature has
been about normal and favorable t.
vegetation. There has been serious
lack of sunshine. As result OF these
conditions unsatisfactory progress has
been made in the cultivation of cotton
and the crop has, no doubt, been
materially injured. A few stations
report crops in good condition, but too
much rain, and vigorous growth OF
grass is the general report. and mach
cotton has been gwen up to grass
Corn Ond other crops are generally in
good condition. Rainfall for the week
is reported as follows: Sardis loo

Governor Lowry is in earnest about
the prosecution Of the principals,
aiders and abettors of the Sullivan
Kilrain fight. Fitzpatrick, the re-
fierce, has gone to Jackson and given
bond in $1,000 to appear when called
for. The principals and seconds no
doubt will avoid arrest, as none Of
them banker after an Imprisonment
of one year, but as the New Orleans
States well says, the Railroad Com
pany which brought the pusilsts and
spectators into this State in defiance
of the proclamations of its Governor
can and should be held to strict
account. 1t is an abuse of terms for
that company to say that as COM
mon carrier it was compelled to
furnish transportation in this in
stance 10 plain man it would
seem that the transportation Of
several thousand people into a State
to participate in an unlawful act and
in the face of Its Governor edct to
the contrary would be to directly
aid and abet violation of law which
no Railroad company is chartered to
do. Perhaps the Railroad Company
may so find it.

MERIDIAN, July 15.-There is con-
sidera BILE excitement in the south
eastern part of Lauderdale county
over the efforts being made to catch
the parties who broke into several
stores in the Causeyyille neighbor-
hood THURSDAY night. The work
seems to have been done by an
organized gang, and the robbery
was almost complete, as nearly
everything of value in the stores was
taken. The burglars were traced
some distance into the woods to
place where they had stopped and
divided the goods. A party who
was suspected was arrested, and has
turned States evidence, duplicating
quite a number of v hite men of some
prominence. The sheriff is using
every effort to capture these parties,
and has caught five or six, but the
others escaped into a swamp about
ten miles square, AID are safely
hidden. The sheriff telegraphed to
Jack son for hounds, but was unable
to get them. The people OF The
county are assisting the officers in
every way, and it is likely all Of the
guilty parties viii be apprehended.

Pronusel Hostal Telegraph. =.

New York, Sept 6.-Postmaster Gen.
Wannamaker recently summoned to
Washington various otfiaials of the tele.
graph companies, in order to lay before
them some details OF and make proposals
for new postal telegraph service which
he has had under consideration for some
time.
DR.. Green, president OF the Western
Union, was one of these officials, and has
just returned from the conference. He
gave q reporter some details of the pro-
posed scheme. Or. Green did not look
upon the project in q very favorable light.
"It would be q distinctly second class de-
livery service. There would not be imme-
mediate delivery by the post office, but
stated times OF delivery, as in the case OF
letters now"
Business and commercial men, he be-
lieved, would not avail themselves ofsuch
service when they can have first-class
service and messages delivered by the
company the very moment received. II
is, however, an extension OF the telegraph
service that forms the chief feature Of
Wanamaker's scheme. There are at pres.
ent $4,000 post offices in the country.
About 5000 have telegraph service. Dr.
Green said of these 10, 900 receiving offices
which the company now has, about two
thirds are pro6tless.
DR.. Green was very much inclined tC
doubt the financial success Of extending
the lines 10 10000 little places in order to
make blessing of the telegraph service
for the people.

WINDOW TALKS.


kLNE, n. H., Sept. 6.-Sec. Window
who has been in this city several days
with his family, was seen yesterday in
relation to the reported retaliation on the
part of the Mexican government on ac-
count of the rulings OF the treasury de-
partment adversely to the importation
into the United States of Mexican lead
ores, and in regard to the imposition OF
duties on Mexican vessels. TIE secretary
after reading the dispatch carefully said
in regard to the lead ores: "This govern
ment has not recently entered upon any
policy OF shutting out the products OF
Mexico. No ruling has been lately made
upon the subject except certain instruc-
tons TO collectors of customs on the border
to prevent fraudulent importations OF
Mexican lead ores.
The question as to the classification of
lead ores has been for some time pending
in the department, but no decision in re-
gard to the matter has yet been reached
In regard to the imposition Of duties Oh
Mexican vessels, that imposed discrimi-
mating duty OF 10 per cent on goods i'm
ported upon foreign vessels, except YES
sells OF nations with. which the United
States have treaties on the subject. The
president is authorized to relieve vessels
OF other nations from that discriminate
ing duty upon satisfactory proof that
such countries do not levy tuch duties on
our vessels. AS Mexico does levy such
duty on goods imported |
IN American sailing vessels, there is no
power to relieve her vessels OF such duty |
