It estimates the. yield for 1SS:J at K-tween 4-jO,uC,(,()W and -1:10,-OOO.MO bushels. Kx. Tiik people of riattsinouth turned out eslerd-?y to receive the. visiting excursionists in a manner that " did the city proud." Kverj body felt tlio better of it, and the gentlemen from abro td were immensely pleased. The city was well decorated and presented i handsome appearance. Tiiii yield of wheat in Knghtnd this year will be below the average, and breadstuJts generally rule dull and ea sier. Domestic wheat sold in the Lon don market last week on aa average of :s t 1 per quarter cheaper than for the corre -ponding week a year ago. Ex. WonKMKX in th-3 iron and steel mills in Pennsylvania have notified their employers of their refusal to accept the reduction in wages proposed by the rnanufactui.TS. The strike will be general, and unless it is averted gr..;it distress is sure to follow, both to the individuals engaged in the controversy U'ld the iron interests of the country Tm: tonh of Thaddeus Stevens, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is in a small coiner lot crowded with humble graves. The monument is a huge block of Vermont granite, and about it grow wi'u roses, wood violets, and dandeli ons in the rank glass. His former residence is now owned by his old col ored housekeeper, and her son occupies a part of it as a baiber-shop. The Xew York Tribune is exceeding warm under the collar because the civil service commission has adonted rules and thereby become a machine. The Tribune evidently wants a desnotism. of which it shall be despot. Lincoln Journal topics. This is the whole thing in a nut she'i. The machiue that is so well or- ganizxd that it can run without the as sistance of the other machine, is " a dod gasted fraud," according to the other machine's way of running. RAILWAY GRANTS. flic Southern Xcific lluihoad Com pany lia recently male application to the sccretar tor land originally granted to the Tcxs Pacific ltaihod Company for the construction of its load. These lauds are chained by virtue of an as- oincnt from the Texas Pacific Com - pauv which has tailed to construct the road for which the grant was made, and the basis of the claim is in this re spect similar to that on which the Xew Orleans and Pacific Railroad Company was recently awarded a portion of hinds granted originally to the llatou ltouge and Yicksbnrg company. The facts in that case were that the last named com pany constructed part of its road, and then assign ed its grant to the Xew Or leans and Pacific Company, which com pleted the lhic. Tho Attorney General ia an opinion rendered last July, de cided that the Xew Orleans and Pacific Company was entitled to lands lying along that portion of Ihc read it had eon.-li acted. The principal difference between f lie ca-c decided by the Attor ney General and th? ca.-e of tlie South ern Pacific Company is, that the road for i ho const i ui lion of which the grant is claimed bythc Southern Pacific Com panv was built pi "or to the date of as Miimffiit of the giant. The Sjuilcrn Pacific v. a organ:?ci as a rival of tho ! IVxr.s Pacific, and undeitook to bund a compctirg line, and it objected to the granting of lands to the I it ter company and to the indoiscmeut of its londs by the government. Since the failure; how ever, t the Texas Pacific to build its ri ad it l assigned its grant to the Si,i-,;licrn Pacific. A decision will not be leached in the case for several days, but thtc is reason lo believe that when it is rendered it wiil be nd verso to the claim of the company last named. The grant of , laud in dispute aggregates bc- twecnp,000,000 and 18,000,000 acres. Kentucky Itepuhlicaiis. The Republican fcjiale C'oucntion of Kentucky has net Mr. Iknii "Waterman Mr. Caili.-h-, Mr. Peck and the lcade:s ol the bt.uib'.n j ai'y f that stale, an cxan:plo ia tl.e wny of making up plat furuis which those w oi t liy ! 1 abators of deiio.ci iicy would do w ell lo re member. The follow ing ae the certain, rieging declarations of the followers of the righteous cause of republicanism in the "llliu; (i'itas.s'' state: m I hat it is the duty of the state to pro vide free schools for all the children of the state; that all constitutional means id ou'd be ((! to compel parents to give tlu ir e hiM.cn the benefits of an ediici.tion : thai Me favor the adjustment of a tai "itf that will o.ily provide a rev enue sidiicicn: to dcfniy the expenses of of the government, but afford just a reasonable protection to the industrial classes of our courtry without being oppressive to t lie ngi ieulturid and other interests of our people; we recognize the fact the :meckors of some of Ken tucky's nol.le.t and most patriotic citi zens had t heir birth place in the green inle of E'in, and wc ciend to the suf fering people of Jrelaud our warui"St sympat hies. It will be seen, upon the cause of edu cation, the parly demands free schools for all the children of the state and tree use of those schools compelling the parents to permit their children to en joy the blessings of the same. They arc in favor of a tariff for reve nue, sufficient to defray Ihe expenses ol'the govt i rim nt; and, at the same time, flibid jut and reasonable protec tion to the classes of the country with out Wing oppressive to the agricultu ral and other interests of the people. They extend to the suffering people of Ireland their warmest sympathies. These are manly utterances and show that the republican parly of Kentucky propose to meet the democracy of that state bcfore.lhc peopl", where this tariff question will have to be met by the "tariff for revenue only" advocates. It is said a s'.ror.g nomination was made for Governor in the person ol Hon. Thomas Z. Morrow and the re publicans of Kentucky feel confident of great gains in that hereioloie hopeless ly bourbon state. SET1I 310 C LEV AM) THE GRAND IS J AM) P.O. ' S-th P. Moblcy, of the C.raud Is l.md Independent, come- out in a man ly manuer and say he ' can Hve with out a post office, but he would not like to live without a re"; cbl'can paity' That is the sensible view io take of the little disappointments that aie sure to meet gentlemen in the political arena; hard gloves and bure knuckles in the ring, always result in some fellow get ting "knocked out" unless the "Perl ice" interfere; and, iu polities, that individ ual is always conspicuously absent about the time some fellow is getting in chancery. Mr. Moblcy wiil th'nk mo "C of himself now, and h's fneuds will think more of him, since he has shown that his Hood and manhood raise him above the bitterness of defeat; for tuch men there is always better things in store. EXPRESS ROBBERY. . TheCnited States Express Company wa3 robbed at Cleveland, yesterday, of some $15,000, The job was done so slick and easy it looks a little like the "VVasson robbery the other day in Texas, The messenger stepped aside to see a man, when the- robbers took the ex press paek:u;vs, leaving iu their place packages exactly similar in appear ance. The trick was not discovered until the packages were taken to the company's offices, NEWS CLIPPINGS. There is every indication that the iron workers east and west will strike on June 1. They insist upon the main tenance of the scala of wages paid the past year, which the employers claim it is impossible to pay. The men also favor a shutting down of the rolling mills during the summer months, which manufacturers will not agree to. The Italian government is in a crit ical state, the ministers of public work3, and justice and ecclesiastical affairs having resigned. The cause for this action is dissatisfaction with the recent course of Prime Minister De pretis. A stormy mass meeting wa3 held iu Home Sunday,- at which the demagogue Deputy Coccapieller urged the crowd to proceed to the Quirinal and leijuest the King and Queen to as sume the leadership of the movement in favor of a universal exhibition to be held in Home. The police prevented the carrying out of this plan by force. Mrr-. Myra Clark Gaines has gained another step in an important case against the city of Xewr Orleans. This is a decision of Judge Billings, not only confirming the report of the mut ter in chancery in her favor with re gird to certain property bought fifty years ago by the city from her father, Daniel Clark's executors, and since sold under warranty but increasing the amount of her claim to 81,925,607. The city appeals to the United States Supreme court, where more, than one of .Sirs. Gaines' cases have .gone, gen erally resulting in a victory for the in- 7i i defatigablo woman. Mrs. Gaines has long since passed tho stacje where the desire for jiHtico animated her, und she is now simply possessed with tho passion for litigation. Three distinct cyclones visited Kan sas City and the adj icent country be tween 1 and 5 o'clock Sunday, Itlth inst. The third of the series was the most destructive. Beginning a few miles southwest of the city, it moved north ward, parsing through tha west ern portion of the city, and extended to Randolph, five miles below on the Missouri river. Three persons were kilhd and as many more mortally wounded, and property to the value of Syyo.oOO or more was destroyed. A brick church, within which a Sunday school had leen assembled less than half an hour before the storm came, was crushed in by the force of the wind. Mnmerous' 'small towns were visited by the "t-lorm, dwellings and public buildings being damaged or de stroyed, and in several instances loss of life was occasioned. At Macon C:ty live persons were killed and ten or fifteen injured. Several of those wounded at Kansas City cannot recov er. At Oronago the cyclone demol ished all the buildings save one, killed or fata'ly injured five persons, and wounded fhty others. BANKS. John Fn zo i.nAi.l), A. W. McL.u oni.i n Fre-:iJMit. Cat-liicr.
