A London dispatch of the 13th inst. says : The Mark Lane Express says: The clear dry days and the abseuse of moisture during the past week have been of great service, enabling farm ers to consign wheat to the ground under favorable circumstances, and a larger breadth nas been sown that. last year. The potato crop shared this advantage, especially the Iiish, but the English yield, notably in the midland counties, has been very unsat isfactory. There has been very littlo alteration in the quantity ot wheat in the market, and supplies, both in Lon don and the provinces, continue limit ed!, farmers preferring to withhold corn in the present depressed state of trade. Dullness prevailed in most couutry markets, and bnsiness, gener ally speaking, was quite of a retail nature.- The improved aspect of the Eastern question has caused the local trade to relapse and lose the recent advantage of two shillings per quar ter. Shipments of llussiau wheat are taking place rapidly in iov of the ap proaching winter, the closing of Ron stadi and the Sea of Azov ports. The Board of Trade returns for October show a considerable decrease of im ports, as compared with 1875, from the Continent, Egypt, Chili, and most notably the United States and Cana da, the only country showing an in crease beini Great Britain. Tnese facts are suggestive, as showing that the diminution extends to all our usu al sources of supply. The week's supplies have shown some increase, but the larger portion ot the increase in wheat has betn Irom India, and it has been most interesting to watch bow steadily imports of this class of grain have been increasing irom com parative insignincance to a prominent proportion in our source ol supply. A notable feature in the return of im ports on Monday was tho absence of wheat arrivals lrora aubmio pons.

Uon. L. Q 0. Lamar, of Mississippi, sent to Geo. WallbatD, at Grenada, the following dispatch : "The reports of official returns, signed py Commissioners anl Supervisors, show clear majority for Tilden of 7,775. In sev eral iostances the Republican officials re fused to sign the returns Iroui few Kepubli- cau parishes. No report of olUcial count has been receiveJ in .nree ine iwuuuu cun figures are adopted in the above esli mute. The Republicans claim tbe reluros Irom these parishes may be revised, it is charged, ana put in shape so as to give tbe Republicans a majority of 1,500 or 2,000. The people of New Orleans, though pro foundly agitated, are quiet, and there is not tbe slmhtest prospect to disregard the peace proposition to place tbe counting of tbe vote under tbe supervision of honorable men of both parties from a distance, with tbe cor dial concurrence of the community. Tbo Bending of troops here is regarded as a promise and guarantee of support aod im partiality to the Returning Board in tbe oc tioo it is expected to lake. Wells eud An derson, o' the Returning Board, are colored persoos, one of them without eJucution. They are persons who acted in 1874, and whose fraudulent returns occasioned the in vasion of tbe Legislature by General Sheri dan, and were set aside by the Congressisu- al committee or which v ui. A. nwier was a member. After Sheridan expelled certain members of tbe Louisiana Legislature, Wells was rewarded by being made surveyor of tbe port ofXew Orleans, aod Audersoo bad a member of bis family appointed to tbe mili tarv Nsval Academy. KelloRg and Pack ard are believed to be concerned in the cor rupt order of Durrell aod the seizure of tbe Capitol in 1672 aod the iovasion of tbe Cap itol in 1874. Kellogg, Packard, Wells and Anderson, as stated, are condemned as infa mous, and nothing but mistrust and discredit attaches to what tbey say or do, aod what they tonch contaminates. These men have beeo maintained in a course of conduct con trary to tbe Constitution aod tbe laws and dangerous to the libertiesol the people. Tbe order to the army to coucentrate in New Orleans is a plot for the overthrow of consti tutional liberty aod the establishment of military despotism. If this policy succeeds, oo Presidential election hereafter will be made, except ut.der tbe direction of tbe army. After reading Gov. Chamberlain's proclamation to rifle clubs, demand ing tbo surrender of thjir arms, tbe club at Uock. Hill, S. C, procured a box, placed in an old horse pistol, a flint-rock rifle and an army musket, and shipped it to the Governor mark- p1 C. O. D. The expressase was 18. A telegram states that Gen. Jobn S I'helns. Democratic nominee for Governor of Missouri, bas a majority of 40,000. This is the largest major ity evef giveD iu iuit utstf- op ponent was Hon. G. A. Finkleberg, an able and popular man. (Jriprsby who shot at h'ii wile last week in Jack sow county h beea booed over in 1,000 M- Bummlna: l'P Tho San Francisco Examiner in its issue of Nov. 11th, gives tho follow ing truthful summing up ot tho ac tious of tho Republican party previ ous to and during tho recent cam paign : Of ono thing we are Btire, even should tho Electoral votes of Florida, South Carolina and Louisiana be taken from Tilden ; that is, that the vast majority of the peoplo ot the United States have declared in his favor and against tho corrupt party in power. Tho wisdom ot tho St. Louis nomination has been proved by the result. Mr. Tilden was and is the popular choice, and his nomination tho best that could have been made. Tbe action ot the Pacific Coast is greatly to be regretted, the more so on account of their recreancy on the Chi nese question, so vitally important to their interests. But, nevertheless, tho verdict of the peoplo is pronounced against the dominant party, in spite of the most extraordinary and desper ate means to bring about a contrary lecision. Tbe Radical party is in the minori ty ; and if the people remain stead fast they will win at last against the cohorts of corruption, the base hypo crits who have maintained a false dig nity and traded upon the fictitious reputation of assumed virtues. That party appealed to the national suf frage as the great champion of human rights, the emancipator and enlran chisur of the slave, the preserver ot the Union, and the guardian of the national credit. Its birth was tho fe verish conception of bigotry and fa naticism which refused to begin its pretended reforms at home, overlook ing the social and civil abuses which lay at its very doors to attack an in stitution which enjoyed immunity so long as it was a source of profit to Northern 'cupidity. The youth of the Radical party was lostcred by the nurturing influence of sectional prejudice and agrarian envy. The energies of its raanliourl were di rected by scheming and selfish dema gogues, who professed its creed in or der to appropriate the profits of its patronage. The strength of its old age has becu the recollection of the mischief it has accomplished, and the boast of its intentions in tho future. The Radical party set out with the declared intention of restricting the institution ot slavery within its then existing limits ; it embittered by con stant slander and intemperate abuse these two great sections of the conn try against each other, and thus forced on a war whose end it profess ed to deprecate. Finding itself un equal to the struggle, it rallied to its support all the conservative elements in tho North, upon the plea that it was fighting omy to save the Union. and that it would gladly lay down its arms as soon as that result was ac complished ; but when the war' was ended, it retarded the recoLBt ruction of the Union by a selfish, cruel and unrelenting policy toward the South. Having, as a war measure, emanci pated the negroes under the stress of dire necessity ; it has made a virtue of that necessity and claimed tho suf frage of the newly enfranchised on the score of gratitude. For purposes of its own it destroyed the autonomy ot sovereign Slates and thus annihilated what is most essential to the existence of tho Union as the framers of the Constitution received it. Sending out its emissaries to the Southern States to excite hatred and strife between the races, it took ad vantage of the consequent discord by urging it as a proof of the recalcitrant disposition ot the Southern people and the necessity of its own contin ued use ot the power it has so foully abused. Having flooded the country with paper currency and created all man ner of fictitious values, it presented itself with sublime impudence as the champion of hard money. Having wasted tbe public moneys by reckless expenditures and burdens and bur dened the whole people with excessive taxation, it came forward as the evan gelist of economy. Having entrusted the public service to knaves and thrown tho public works in tbe hands of corrupt "rings," it sought to secure the conhdence of the people by a pre tended desire to reform. The un scrupulous practices of its leaders, both great and small, having been el posed by a Democratic House of Rep resentatives, it attempted to smother tbe voice of accusation and proof in a wild chorus of "bloody shirt," "rebellion revived" "Confederate claims," and other false and frauda lent devices. It bas done its very worst to mislead, gull and blind the people, and to corrupt by lavish use of money, and to intimidate men in the Sooth bv bavonets but it bas failed. The voice of the people hasj condemned it and now it is engaged in a desperate scheme to cheat the opalar majority out of the fruits of yictory. Whether it will succeed, or not, remains to be seen.. ' THE BEST FELLOW IN THE WORLD, I ought to apologize for brincrinsr in an old acquaintance with such a flour ish: for all of you know the Major, and have very likely helped or boen helped by him. You may soe him any day just now on Broadway. He al ways walks as though a crowd ot poo pie were wailing for him just at the end ot tho block. His clothes, how evor thin or patched, sit on him well and jauntily: a broad-brimmed felt hat shades his white hair and mous tache, and ruddy, beaming taco ; but ne is perpetually jerking it oil with an eager, gallant flourish. It is amaz ing, the nurabor of women that man knows I You may have met this best fellow in the world in any part of the country, though bo belougs less to New England than, lo the South ' or West. Yet he has a keen sympathy for Concord mysticism and hardihood of thought; ho even went there once to found a community who wero to live on potatoes and fruit and dress in grass linen: but sinoo he grew fat and scant of breath, ho pooh-poohs your Great Primal Ideas ; and no does not like the spare diet of Massachusetts. He can put his finger for you on the two or three restaurants in this coun try whero a porter bouso steak can be properly broiled, and has a masonio intelligence with tho cooks. His kecu Falato and eye for horse Hush aro due, suppose, to tho liberal dash of Irish blood in his veins. He is not a kins man ot the high seasoned California hero who dirks, drinks, and dies hero ically through our reoont literature; though his grandfather may have been such a one, Ti:e Major is hampered, toned down by town life, and by an early marriage. His congener, the cood follow who did not marry early became a brilliant young fellow on the town. Old ladies shook their beads wnen nis ciicokb grew red and his lips thick. But the girls liked his bright eyes, and a queer pathetic laugh bo had at times ; ana when (after a year or two, of which we need not talk now) the outraged world refused longer to givo him room, and tbey lowered liim, deaf and lent, by a grating rope, out ot sight forever into the pebbles and the clay, the memory ot him was kept longer alive than that of better men. His pi ous steady-going brothers mourned for him socrolly aa they will never do for eauh other. Our comrado the Major (every body's comrade, I might say) seldom touches liquor and mote rarely gam bles ; ho is too loud of his wife and children for that. IIo is perpetually on the verge ot making a gigantic for tune for them. He thinks, and it is true, that he would literally give his blood, drop by drop, if it would make them any happier. Whether they have enough to eat or not in tho meanwhile, depends wholly on what money comes lo thotn from the outsido. It is a curious fact in physiology that the wifo of one of these genial whole-souled fellows, tho very ring ol whose voices inspires all who bear it with courage and enthusiasm, what ever she may have been beforo mar riage, always becomes afterwards sal low as to skin, dogmatio as to reli gion, narrow and scrimped in her opinions as in her pettiooats. Sho is instant in season and out ot season in all manner of small and 60vore virtues, striving as for life and death tho lov ing, sour-tempered creature ! to nil up somebody's empty measure of du ty. She is apt to condemn any amusement simply because her bus band enters into it with headlong acst; she sniffs critically at all his friends, and turns her back downright on me whole ot the rosebud garden of girls among whom he wanders delighted, though be bo three score, buzzing and sipping swests like an ancient bee. Impartial lookers on may say she has not lost a whit of her rights ; that the man's dailv lifo. work, planning, think ing, dreaming, is a great and hard- burning name, which must nave mei, te it Jriendsbip, flirtation, travel or amusement. Now every wne is apt to think her own stock ot burning ma terial quite sufficient tor any well con ditioned man. History tells us of one of our friend's clat.; a poet, whom all the fine world delighted to dandle and humor. London drawing rooms and Parisian salons were open for him to flutter through, and titled and ucti tied dames crowded about htm, quite willing that he should make love to any lips that were near. Yet, like the rest, he had his Bessy in her neglect oil ootUTB. rrrowin iealous and sharp nosed into an nly little shadow, which faded out of bis life at lasi. Another of them, an author, we ean all remember, who drew the tears and laughter of the word atl will over the history and graves of people 'who never lived but in bis brain. It was onl vesterdav he went posting over land and sea, tediously gusty in his breathless energy, acting, ic-ding to packed audiences, plunging into all kinds of road excitement, pouring down liquor like like water, demand ing unlimited flattery; all neodful as fuel fuel. Aud tbtre waa the inevi table wifo in the background, wailing ior mm to taKO an his sustonanoo ol lifo through tho oirclo of that ring sho wore. Could anything, argued ho, be more psychologically impossible? But I. - ... iitt i mo wives oi good loiiows seldom study psychology ; and one wonders, after all, with what fuel they are to keep their own poor little fires burn ing? Tho Major, too, has written both books and poems. Their rhetoric aud white heat of emotiou were very pop ular for a whilo. Whatover he does is popular; clapping ot hands follows him through lifo. Thcro are thous ands of poople who spoak of him with ratotul tenia in their eyes. Luck, they will toll you, went against him even in his benevolence, but he always meant well I There was tho Workiug Men's Homo, a villago which he laid out in the suburbs of New York, and into which so many mill men put their earnings, lo bo sure the ground was swampy ; halt the collars tutnblod in, and the babies diod ot malaria by the score ; but how could hoforosoe that? Tho poor fellow was ruinod himself by '. tit ir t. it, as ovoryoody Knows, no usoa 10 go about for months aftorwards with his coat out at elbows aud unblackeu- cd shoes, although he had deccut clothes at homo. No half way meas ures for him 1 Ho drank even tho cup ot misery to the dregs with gusto. About that timo bo was appointod agent of a building firm, his chief bus iness being to collect their rents. Tho houses were let to a lot of poor devils, whoso monthly appeals for mercy tore his heart and brought tears to his eyes. IIo used to advanco tho rent out of his own pocket. He lived, too, on the strength ot his salary, iirirp. libnral aV. In Bergen, tilled the house to overflowing with all his own or his wife's needy kinsfolk. While ho had a dollar ho would share it withjfriend or foe. But his grocer's and butcher's bills wero never paid ; and they brought suit, mortgaged tho house, and bnally sold it, ' thuro be ing no limit," as ho said, "to the ra pacity and greed of such peoplo when they begin to hoard money. His wife gave musio lessons, and so kept them alive, until ono day, when seeing a poor family iu distress he sold the piano to reliove them. Since that, times have boen rough. Now and then ho has had a windfall, through some of thoso queer uses ot their wits which men find placo ior in a city, but which are unknown out side of it. A certain railroad compa ny converted him to a belief in their stock, and sent him out to sell shares. IIo has gone to Albany to lobby and to Congress to engineer diilerent measures in which be had faith. There is a certain force and magnet ism about tho enthusiastic old fellow, with his high bred maner, eager eyes and genuine voice, that carries every body with him in his projects, except, indeed, his wifo and children. No Dneo would bring him to advocate any measure in which he did not him self believe. Nobody could doubt bis keen senso of honor. He is hand somely paid for his odvocacy in a del icate way by presents usually, a few shares ot Btock, a diamond ring for his wife. By these means, and a chrouio antipathy to paying small bills, he kept bis head above water until a year or two ogo. Ho had been so often mistaken that his judg ment began to rate below par. Cor porations found that for him to sup port a cause was to damn it. His old friends aro cordial when they run against them in the street (he never seeks them in their oflicos), urge him to come around to D lmonico's or the Lotos Club to lunch, but never give him ony commissions. His wifo has rented a little truck farm in Jersey, where she and the children barely manago to live, owing nobody a pen ny. His sons, as the socs of all good fellows are apt to bo, are hard-woric-ing, just, sour-natured men. His daughters are moody, morbid girls who despise all enthusiasm and K-r- vor, and pass their days in drudging and thinking what they would have done had ther been so lucky as to have been men. Now and then comes a letter from their father, detailing a new vast philanthropic or money making scheme, in which he means to gain renown or wealth for them nev er for himself. The old man -cares for little in the world outsido of- his children. Tho letters aro thrust itlto the dusty pigeon hole ot the secreta ry ; nobody reads them to the end. They are full of tender love and deli cate fancies. The Major has the sen sitiveness of a woman. Yet be takes a keen delight in dodging the credi tors, boarding-house keepers, fcc, to whom he owes money. He under stands honor, but not honesty. But thorn re natures so constructed as not lo find room for tho coarser vir tues ; one need not look in a bit of old Dresden for the qualities or an iron pot. The Major is an old man now, well t-.irrla aVI I P.fi VO l.nt hi liliwxl fluWS as hotly, hi brain is as full of SullVvYine, tb subject of orjrnizio , Pomona-Jar-reaching plans, tcA be is juV .asfGraags fur Mrk)o cuuaty wtf be disccjstd sure ot success in them, as when he was twenty. If ho raoet you this af ternoon, be will almost compel you to go in as a partner, and bo as zealous in one of them as he. You will find a certain originality in tho idea a sound sub-stratum of common senso; but whou ho comes to put it into practice, it will fail. Men with oue tithe of the Major's' mental power or business tact are famous and wealthy. With nonn of his generosity or affection, they are surrounded by a loving woman and children. He is unknown, poor and alone. Somo ot tho thousand ships lie has' sent out with such vigorous cheers from shore may come back even yet, bringing tho treasure which he has lacked so long, and give him, for a brief space, his own footing in the world. If tbey should not, doubtless the old man will bear himself gallant ly to tho last. When old age, or dis ease, or his creditors press him quite' to tho wall, ho will find some quiet corner in whioh to die, whore Susan and the children will nover be hurt by seoing how hungry he is, or how' alone. Perhaps in thoso wider lives bo- yond the cofljn and the grave-stono the right work may be waiting for this perpetually hopctul, perpetually lefentcd old creature, and some use bo found at, lat tor the large, clear burning fire which never warmod any body here. At all even .b, the Major' at the last hour will be perfectly sure that such is the case. lie will, in all likelihood, confidently cross the dark river full of some promising new plan, to bo carried out on A" nnJ oo ready to tako old Death confi dently by tho elbow, and persuade him to go in as partner of his buoccbs in it. New Hampshire In the Olden Timet The Bdttlemont of Conoord was--nearly one hundred years luter than Dover, Portsmouth, Hampton, and other soacoast towns, dating, in fact, as lato as 1727, and yot old Puritan customs wore brought thither from WaSSaolltlBetlB, uuX loug held sWHf ovor the people. Everything whioh had the appearance of levity, even in tho beginning of the eighteenth con tnry, was discarded by the Pilgrims. The drinking of healths and the use of tobacco were forbidden, the former being considered a heathenish and idolutrous praolioe, grounded on liba tions, and the other as a species of in toxication. Laws were instituted to' regulate sooial intercourse betwoer the sexes, and the advances toward matrimony. Pride and ostentation came under tho cognizance ot the' magistrate. Modes of dress, cut of hair; manner of speech, stylo of car-' rlago and bearing, hours of rising in the morning and retiring at night, too rapid driving on the loads, too loud, prolonged or frequent laughter, bad conduct on the Lord's daj, and a thousand other things not regarded now as coming under the jurisdiction of the civil magistrate, were made subjects of municipal regulations. Women were forbidden to expose their arms or shoulders to view. The' sleeves of gowos were to reach the wrist, and the neck was to close. Men were required to cut their bair short, so as not to resemble tho other iox. No person not worth over two hnn dred pounds was allowed to wear gold or silver laee, silk hooJs, or embroid ered scarfs. The ordinary food of tie early set-' tiers here, for both breakfast and sup per, wis bean porridge, with bread and butter. On Sunday morning there was coffee in addition. Brown' bread, nude of "rye and Indian," was' tho staff ot lifo, while bread being used only when guests were present. Baked pumpkins and milk composed' a dish said to have been luxurious.

Sun days and Thursdays, baked beans and! baked Indian pudding, the latter be ing served first, haturdays, sail nso one day in every week sail pork and corned bejf, and one day, also, roast ed meat was tbe rule. The ancient dress of the man was a woolen coat, striped woolen frock, tow or leather breeches tied or buck led at the knee, and cowhido shoes with leathern buckskins. Sunday bau were three-cornered, kept in a wood- eo box, and made to last a life time. The dress of the women consisted of chemises, petticoats, tow gowns,- tyers, tbiek woolen Blockings ana cowhide shoes. - The Koglish compsny is working tb Reed Hieginifi oo (Jslic creek oo tbs hydraulic.
