No Clerks are to bo hereafifrallowcd the

luissioni ra have determined that there i i'iio
law for paying such clerk?, and hence they
will not do it. A law to abolish Jury Com
mlsdoners and to turn over their duties to
the County Commissioners lias passed the
House of JlepreseutBtivcH, but as a similar
bill has btvn rejtcted by the .Senate this

Correspondence of tlia limes, d.ited Ar
nient, Upjier Kgpyt, I'eb. 24, gives ahoirt-
rendiug acemnt of the present condition of
the population of tho Nilo Valley. The
sceii"s descriljed resemble those in In li.i du
ring tlio recent lamina. In some of the villa
ges tlio people nro p.it help, sitting naked
liko wild beasts, eating roots, and sufferini;
with tho cudurauco of despair. The madues''
woikcd on by f.imino stamps such a brand on
tho starving fellahs as cannot bo easily do
scribed. In ono town women and children
fought over scraps of bread like wild animals
The caso is believed to bo still worse in tho
iuland hamlets, whero tho villagers are said
to bo starving hko dogs.
ino Jimct in comnicuting cuitorially on
tlu letter of its co.TO'ponJent says: 'This
state of affairs is immediately ascribed to last
year's inundations and tho failure of the first
wheat crop ; but tho ical causo lies in the
permanent lielp'ossnoss of the fellah's condi
tion. Ho is so mercilossly taxed that lio is
forced to live fiom hand to mouth, and it is
impossible fur him to uiako any preparation
agiiinst tho day of temporary need; while ho
is so oppressed with work, and so reduced by
insufficient lood as to looso all hopo aud ener

torted from them. And to vrit is this duo ?
Simply to tho necessity of meetinj: tho fjuan

is no loasou for thinking tho condition of

in a niodeiatc lime lestmo tlio country to a
faiily prosperous condition. l!ut there i
gnat lcason to believe that for tho present
the Koglish aud French creditors must con
sent to lorego their full rights. To insist on
tlinse righ's might prove short-sighted for
their own intetests, as well as cruel to tie lei

It Is now vry gfitirrfilly btllevesl. that the

be full of interest and at ttinea exciting.
To-day, the real tug of dobalc will begin,
both patties ate prepared nllli iirigazlnei ol

speeches. Columblads of invective III
roar, ietiirds rd thetorio will hoist the Itidi
vldii il ootigreasni.in, who will, bnivever, al
nsyii fall on his feet, an 1 return tho compli
ment. Personal engagement will give
piquancy and variety to the grand onslaught
while tho battle will rage beautifully all
along tro lino. 'J he forces are so evenly
divided that it will hardly bekiiou, when
the roll is called on resolutions, miididnients
and bills, which siJ" will have tlio victory.
The Dtiinojr.itlc nnjnrity is pin ill, and the
physical disability of some of their members,
as Messrs. S epheus, Acklfn and Liy, makes
tSeir strength an unkii iwn and very inter
esting quantity. Ilmiy be in the power of
the Uopubliciui', by lillihitsterinjr, to post
poue, indf finitely, or even to prevent the
pissige of the bills with ilio obnoxious
arneiiilnients. It is cimcded that not leu
than n monfi will suffle) fur the Senaln to

signs of a new rebellion, Iu nn attempt to
engiaft political legislation on approprla
tion, and, as iu 18(11, thrt llepublicans
would meet the incipient rebellion in united
phaUiox. The p?ech created u decided
sensation on both sides of the House. At
its conelu-ion nearly all the republicans
came and shook hands with him, indicating
their approval of ids words nnd hisitmiil,
Democrats had not expected the republicans
to assume quite so deli intan attilu le. Gen,
Chalmers, of Mtssinippi, has the flior to

side. Ho will reply filly to the speech of
Geii.Girfi-lil, Tho general itnilers'anding

on thi army bill tod I7.ini continue it
until finally disposed of. It is no, improba
ble, however, that other questions may be
brought up that will co'i-uoin n good deal
of tlio tosinn. 'The tver.d resolutions that
have been ollered, linking to a change of
rule,., tnav bo brought up to day for action,
The mi-tiibers who offered tl.em are deimus
to get them before the Committee on Doles,
and in this they are largely supported. The
proposition to divide the work of preparing
the appropriation bills amii g the varirus
committees of the Home lias mauy friends
in both parties. The resolution introduced
by Mr. Co,of New York a few days ago
authorizing the appointment, at once, of the
select committees on tli cen-u, ou the re

Vico President, on epidein'o d!seais, and

this resolution of Mr. Cox's was agreed to,

Jesse Arnntt, a, wealthy and respectable
resident of St. Louis, was astounded when
an ofiicer arrested him on a charge of steal
ing a dog. He went to court, and there met
the e- iiirdaint iu tho person of Sir. Toma
skewii, the chief clerk of a leading dry
goods store. Arnott was suio that he had
stolen no dog, but Tomnskewilz made the
accusation so explicitly that tho Justice did
not feel justified in dismissing the ca-o.
Then Tounskewltz quietly added that the
prisoner had also stoleu tlio doors and win
do.vs out of a church, and the tombstones
from a graveyard. He had, in fact become
insane, and the firt evidence was n mania
for accusing persons of Imaginary crimes,
Sir Vincent Eyre, n retired Major-General
of the Indian army, found the grave
and tombstone of Keats, the poet, who died
in Dome in 1821, and who was burled in
old cemetery for English Protestants wholly
neglected, The inscription ou the stone :
"Here lies una whnst name was writ in wa
ter," was almost llligilile from dirt and d i
cay. He made n collection, repaired the
grave, cleaned the tombstoue, and placet a
medallion of Keats ivi the wall near the
grave, with the following acrostic :

history of Vlrglnln a gallows ball. Yeter.
day two negroes, Patrick Smith nod Julius
Christian, were batigtd for murder, and
the hanging attracted hundreds from eviry
part or the country. I he negroes came in
lmmeno numbers It was n gala day for
them, nnd they were all in holiday attire.
Tho field in which the men wete hanged
looked like n country fiir. lliotha were
erected. An enterprising Yankee had a
side show and educated plsr, and libelant
musicians enlivened the oc-euduii. Alter
the hanging the crowds of whites weut swny
but tho negroes hung about the field and
around the shallow craves of the felons un
til datk. They had deu rniliied to have a
ball, but necordinV to smne supeisiilloii
among them it could n.it begin until nfier
the midnight hour. A largo barn near the
field was sept clean by hundreds of willing
hands. At I2o'olcck it was crowded. On
a sin ill stage In a comer tlm "land for tho
musicians was placid, which was occupied
by fair I'anj . players ami one fiddler. In
the middle of tin- rn"iu was another stand,
upon which the iiidii who called out the
figures stissl. It was n weird scone, ltovs
stood in the corners of the room with pint!
knot torches, which filled tho place with
black moke, and niinle a murky light.
At 12:lli the festivities b.-g.in. Piter
Jo'innni, a hurley tobacco hand, occupied
the s'aii l in tho middle of the room, and
sang out In s'entorinn loioet "Chooe your
partners." The strangely made-up orchestra
struck up "The Miilppi Sawyer," n wild
Ethiopian iir, and the dancing grew wilder
and wilder, lint 1 they shouted and sang as
though possessed by the devil. .Such ex

iran a r-ries of strange inc.itita'lnrt sei nes.
Tlio "trick" dufresswas dre-d in an old
blue and whito eheekeresl dress, and had in
her hand a laiga bin die, tied up in a red-
handkerchief. Mm opeued it, and after
muttering ft lot of pibborish, in what the ne
groes say hern was an Atrican dialect, sho
said she had the rop with which -" men
were liaiiBed.nnd that after she had toui-hed
any bit nf It. that piece would seiirthp
possessor -wainst, t'.e evil designs of any
person who tricked thnn or poisonod tVm.
She cut It up in small hits, and over each
bit she muttered and sprinkled something
from an old jurr, and then s'ip sold it for
five cents. The rush for these pieces of rope
was great. The men fought fur them.
This ceremony wn kept up until 21 A.
SI. The ropp did not go around, and when
this becam-- known, those who did not get a
piece acted like fipinl', and lipfged the hag
for a threat! onlv. She told them that -loth
ing elso would eff-ct thn charm except small
particles of the clothing in which the men
were buried. A largo party rh,-.n rtarted off
to the grave underneath the irillows, for the
purpose of disinterring the b-nlles and bring
ing back the garments. They spnn returned
in horror to tho the hall-room .sivearinr that
they had seen the two men ho were hanged
walking around thn grave The hag added
to the cxcitenipnt by declaring, at the top
of her voice, singing out thn words, that
Smith and Christian had not died, bcrau'e
she had given them a charm. The secret is
that the visit ol tho dancers to the cave
frightened off two resitrrectiotii-ts who
wfre after tho bodies fur tho doctors.
Tho darning and siiizimr was kept up until
f o'clock. It was announced by tho Voiidou
doetress that all who danced at t'le gallows
hall would be able 1 1 dance as long as they
livid, no in liter if thev lived to he-'Jl,

St. Lnuis, Srarch 27. A dispatch from
Port Scott, Kans'is, mys ;
"On Tuesdiy 21th lilt , Hill Howard, a tie.
gro, who cruelly ami diabolically oiitraced
tdara Pond, a twi he year old daughter of
George Pond, was discovered in an ..Id mine
a half milo distant Iroin the residence of
Mr, Pond, and about six miles fiom this
city. After mime little parley , 1 1 ow aid enmo
forth nn 1 delivered himself uji, lvfr being
promised by his captors th it ho should re
ceive no bodly harm from them. About two
o'clock the cortere arrived io town and the
prisoner was promptly lo lled In jail. The
excitnifiit rose to ft vcr lo-at, and threats of
lynching were made with eiiiplial,ilu- ficls
of the crime being so hcrrib'e as to Le with
out parallel in criminal history.
About 7 oclock last'eveniug n crowd of
people, numbering Hilly 1,00(1, acoo.iip.mied
by thirty pi isktd men iusolij liiie.withdra.vu
revolvers in their hanil-.marchtd tothejiil,
and, overpowering all resistance, ti re the
iron grating fr.im the window of Howard's
coll, ami forcibly tmk l.imout. A rupe was
tied around his neck, aud iiniid tlUaiiri
shouts he was dragged by a hunditd Ion Js,
a I'i-taiiCH of live iiick, and luo ielioa
lamp post on the curnerof the puldi square.
llie iniiiiratttl mob, whoso anger and ex
citement had pii-cil nil bounds, i.fur ihe
body had hung some fifteen minutes, on n
shoutoflJurn him! burn hind" being started
took it down and dragged it to the fquare,
and, in spite oftho losistcnce and olijoelion
of the morn calm ami peaceable portion of
the crowd, literally roated and burned the
remains in a fire of dry goods boxes and
coal oil, amid demonstrations that rivalled a
pandemonium Good citizens regret that
the excitement or the pc qde btnt onto
vengo should bale led thnn iuto sUCh bar
barons act, but it is only jut to thncitlzens
of Port e'eott to say that mo-t of the active
participants ato residents of the countrv
and largely of the coal banks in this vi
cinity.
Tlio march of improvement iu the naluie
and styloid' matches is almost as unabated as
that of tho ui.itches th'-ui-clves. A later nov
elty iu matches Lids lair to extinguish tho
bleeping match, tho pie-catin,' match, and
tho match for tha consumption of hard bdled
eggs. Tho proposal fir the new uipiiaut for
I j ma is 1 1 walk up and i1q.ui stairs more and
lougcr th in any other man can. It is sug
gested that tho Hunker Hill Monument would
bo a gi id placw for tho excicis nf this m in's
inu-cle. Hut Hunker Hill Monument has its
olj ctiotn principally in tlu lack of batii-tcrs
and an tlevutoi. The stair walker who would
succeed will liii l gieit omfoit iii taking au
ooo.isimial lido upward in tho clev.it, r uud u
slilo djwiiward ou the banisters, and will
sluwa gioat want of f irethought if lie should
select for tho scons of his match a building
