Two of the' Hayes electors from
Louisiana have been-trying very bard
to get out of the country through
tbe medium of diplomatic or consular
jiositions. They have intimated that
they think thoJPresident is .rather
slow in recognizing their claims.
There may be 110 significance in this
desire of these geutlemen to go "be
jond the seas," but there is a larking
suspicion that others of the men who
were instrumental in defeating the
will of the people of Louisiana last
fall may ere long be wanted in New
Orleans. Burch, the colored - Hayes
elector, arrested on the charge of
embezzling the school funds, - was
also very importunate for Federal
;rtce a short time since. The evi
dence against him, it is asserted, is so
overwhelming that he will certainly
serve the State behind the walla of
tlierieiiitentiary. There is imminent
probability that Wells and Anderson
wilLtave the opportunity to repent
of their crimes in his company.

. "WhitBeld was seen . frequently
passing about the streets, much agi
tated and in search of his foe. About
1 1 o'clock, when the expectant crowd
on the streets had despaired of seeing
a fight and were dispersing, Whitfield
entered a grocery store, armed with
a heavy horse-whip which had been
cut off at the small end, (another ac
count says ratan), and finding Dechert
seated in a chair, began the J assault
without saying a word, and with all
his might, using both hands.
' The first blow struck Dechert f air
across the face. ; Dechert began a
hasty retreat. He was followed close
ly by Whitfield, who , continued to
apply the whip until Dechert reached
the back door, where he turned on
his adversary with a hatchet which
he had picked up, and with which be
was in the act of braining his pur
suer, when a brother of VVhitfield
arrested the blow, and friends soon
after separated the combatants. The
Whitfields were taken charge of by
the police and carried to the Mayor's
office. After a long and tedious trial
At P. Whitfield was fined $15 and his
brother $10. Dechert was discharged.

Liverpool, July V.
During the week that ended to
day, there were considerable altera--tions
in the prices of some articles in
the list of breadstuffs, and the same
is to be said'of provisions. In the
case of the former however, the ten
dency was generally upwards, while
the course of the latter was in most
instances the reverse. Wheat opened
steady with rather more inquiry
than at the close of the - previous
week Later there was incteased firm
ness in the tone, and prices were oc
casionally higher. Yesterday! the
market was quite, active, with an ad
vance of fully 2d for white. To-day
holders were firm, demanding a penny
advance. Corn was quiet on Mon
day, but on the following day there
was an improved demand, and prices
advanced 6d to 9d, the rates being
24s 3d24s 6d. The market then
became inactive, but revived again
yesterday, and prices experienced a
further advauce of 3d. ) :

The Pan-Presbyterian Council,
now assembled here, in its session of
Friday considered the subject of mis
sions. The debate embraced views
upon tbe general missionary work
throughout the world. The speakers
were nearly all missionaries, and they
dwelt especially on the "great need
of co-operation in missionary work,
and the avoiding of unnecessary com
petition between tbe several branches
ot the irresDytenan unurcn in the
distant missions where delicate dis
tinctions of faith or church policy
were inappreciaoie. - a ne -general
tone of the debate was indicative of
a desire to found some system of uni

The Rev. Dr. W. P. Harrisonj of
Atlanta, Ga., who has recently, made
an extended tour to the Northern and
Western States, in a recently pub
lished letter expresses the 'opinion
that the South is immensely better off
than the North. He says ; he saw
more life and prosperity in .: Rich
mond, Va., than in any ' Northern
city. He met with one family that
owns $100,000 of railroad stock who
could not get an income : sufficient to
justify them in keeping a house ser
vant; in Pittsburg, Pa., he heard of a
house which cost $61,000 renting for
$600, and one in Cleveland! Ohio,
that cost $40,000 which rent for $400.
Dr. Harrison is confident that in the
recuperation i,hat is ahead of us the
South will be foremost.

Catawba county is one of the best average

in clover and orchard grass, ought to be
sufficient .demonstration of the value of
such crops On a large 'scale. -It is singular,
when we know that is the best way to re

them from washing, that our farmers do
not set more of their lands in grass.

a short sojourn in "the land of the . Sky."
With the very name we associate our ideas
of the beautiful, and when applied to, this
countryjt is no misnomer. The . North
Carolinian who, after having, had an;op
portunity of forming some idea of. the
immensity of the undeveloped resources of
the "Old North State," and of witnessing
the wonderful beauty of the works which
Nature has bestowed upon this land with a
prodigal ; hand, and cannot repeat with
earnestness the lines from the lay of the
Last Minstrel j r
Breaths there the man with soul so dead j
Who never to himself hath said,

' ' "- f i I ( ' ; - :.;.'-.
certainly would deserve the cbndemnation
contained in the succeeding lines. :
Any attempt to describe; the mingled
beauty and grandeur of this portion of the
.Commonwealth would fall flat on those of
your readers who have traveled through it,
and would fail to give those -who have not
seen it a just conception of the pleasure
(with some hard work) that is in store for
them should they be permitted to visit the
mountains of this region. With due ' apr
preciation for the views along the Swan
nanoa Gap, we are bound to express the
opinion that the trip through the Hickory
nut Gap, although surrounded by some
difficulties In the way of transportation, is
the most delightful to the lover of mounf
tain scenery. YThose of your readers who
wish to make a trip to the western portion
of this State cannot afford not to go or
come through Hickory nut Gap. Here are
the Pools, the Falls, Bald Mountain, and
the Bat Caves. ? : r
All of these points,! with'many, others,
will amply repay the traveller for the hard
work that he will have to do to see them. . i
Pleasure-seekers who should attempt this
ronte can get conveyances through to Ashe
ville or to Rutherfordton from Shelby, at
all times, and at reasonable prices, and the
trip is well worth the time. . v
The person who may be induced, to visit
these grand mountains, lovely valleys, and
most beautiful rivers, will return and be
constrained to say, "that the half "has not
been told me.", ! J. J. !

i SCHBNCK'S SKA WXED TONIC.-In the at.
mosphere experienced here during the" summer
months, ;the lethargy produced by the heat takes
away the desire for wholesome food, and frequent
perspirations reduce bodily energy, particularly
those suffering from the effects of debilitating dis
eases. In order to keep a natural healthful activity
of the system we must resort to artificial ' means.
For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very,
effectual.' A few doses will create an appetite and
give fresh vigor to the enervated bodyi -For dys
pepsia it is invaluable. tMany eminent physicians
have doubted whether dyspepsia can be permanent
ly cured by the drugs which are generally employed
for that purpose; -TheScs Weed Tonic In its na
ture is totally different from such drags. It contains
no corrosive minerals or acids; in fact it assists the
regular operations of nature, and supplies her defi
ciencies. The tonic in its nature so much resembles
the gastric juice that it is almost Identical with that
fluid. The' gastric olce is the natural solvent
which, in a healthy condition of the' body causes
the food to be digested, and when this juice is not
excreted in sufficient quantities, indigestion, with
all its distressing symptoms follow. The Sea Weed
Tomic performs the duty of the gastric juice, when
sold by all Druggists, :
