After alluding to the faot that Germany had expelled the Jesuits, fie asked the Premier whether the Government intended to en? force tho section of the Roman Catholic Belief Aot of 1829, which provides for the banishment from England of all members of the Sooiety of Jesus. Gladstone, in reply, said the subject was an important one, and must be taken into serious consideration by tho Go? vernment. He added, that though the law in question was now nearly half a century old, no steps had yet been taken for its enforcement. Railway porters in Liverpool are on a strike.

The States making returns higher than 100 are Vermont and North Carolina, 101; Alabama and Mississippi, 110; Louisiana, 119; Texas, 110; Kentucky, 103; California, 101.

Improvement in the condition of wheat is reported from New York, Maryland, Virginia, Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, and, to a slight degree, in some other States; while a small decline is reported in Ohio and in some of the Southern States. The averages in the winter wheat States stand as follows: Conneo? tiout, 94; New York, 78; New Jersey, 69; Pennsylvania, 69; Delaware, 75; Mary? land, 57; Virginia, 99; North Carolina, 112; South Carolina, 103; Georgia, 102; Alabama, 116; Mississippi, 108; West Virginia, 95; Kentucky, 112; Ohio, 75; Indiana, 88; Missouri, 66.

The average oondition for the United States is at most exactly the same as in June, or from 91 to 96 per cent, less than an average. The quality of the grain it uniformly superior in the Middle States, in Ohio, Michigan . and Misiouri; and wherever inferior oondition is reported, the straw is short, but the beads are generally long and well filled, the kerne plump and heavy. The quality of South ern wheat will probably prove as fine ai any ever produced in that section. It the spring, the fullness o? the heads ii pt op or ti o a.; to the quantity of Btrav caused the yield to exceed the axpeota tion, and may go far to effect the smal decrease in the reported oondition. I is quite probable that the general excel lenee of the grain will make the presen orop of equal value to that of last year There has been almost entire exemptioi from rust, and comparatively little com plaint of insects. The Hessian fly is re ported in several places-more numc roualy in the Ohio Vulley ; and the chino! bag has caused losses in many Countie of Illinois, Iowa and Missouri.

The aooident ocourred on Wednesday night, on the passage of the outward bound train. The train ran over a white man named Johnston and his little son, aged abont ten or twelve years. The man was horribly mangled, his body being out completely in two, and one of his arms torn from the shoul? der. The little boy's head and body wore badly crushed. It is supposed the man was drunk , and having lain down upon the track, had fallen asleep. From the position of the bodies, it is inferred that the little fellow was endeavoring to pull his father from the track, when thu train came along, and they were killed. Mr. Jarret Robinson and wife, a vene? rable and revered couple, who have been for macy years residents of Howard County, Mo., may, if they seo proper, some time during tho coming autumn, celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage. What is most remarkable is, that although the rather unusual longevi? ty of this couple would indicate sound constitution in each, yet they have raised twelve children, all of whom ar? rived to maturity, and not one now is living. Mr. Robinson is, ve believe, eighty-four, and the companion of his lengthened days a few years his junior. EXTENDING THEIR BUSTNES8.-R.

A St. Louis grocer, named Edward Boland, has been arrested for outraging the persons of little girls who are sent to his store on errands. THE B AD?O AL CANVASS.-Last week seems to have been a stirring one among the Radical politicians. Large meetings were held on James Island, John's Island, Wadmulaw and Edisto Islands, and were addressed by the Hon. C. C. Bowen, L. C. Northrop, Cyrus Gaillard, T. A. Davis, Hoyt and others. It appears that Sheriff Mackey, with a few of- his adherents from the city, followed the ' Bowen party, but, from all accounts, met with very cold oom?ort. Mr. Bowen made some very able and eloquent speeches, and with such effect as to com? pletely neutralize the distribution of arms among the people by the Scott Maokey ring, whioh Bowen denounced as a trick to corrupt oud purchase the votes of the militia. He said that tho muskets were bought and paid for by the State, and did ? not belong to Mr. Mackey or Gov. Scott, nud had been laying in Columbia for two years, and were only given out now for electioneer? ing purposes. That the State made every mau a soldier between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, and that as lung as they did not injure anybody and be? haved themselves, no man or set of men had the right to take them away, simply because they might not vote for Mackey or Scott. He eloquently portrayed the terrible condition of the Stato, and said that he had no compromise to make with the scoundrels who had robbed tho peo? ple. That no man's life or liberty was safe, and that there was no time, for the lest two years, when any man who had taken his life would not have been safe by a verdict of a packed jury, and when, if he had elaiu a maa in self-defence, he would not have buen bung, without hope of pardon from Scott. That he had walked faithfully and fearlessly along the precipioo in defence of the rights of the people, and at whatever personal risk, he would be true to himself and the cause of good government. He made an ap? peal to the women of his audience, which, we learn, had the most marked effect, and created much feminine enthu? siasm. We understand that Mr. Northrop, on Edisto Island, among other thiugs, made tho point that General Grant was direct? ly interested in the war again;-1 Scott; that the strong argument against Grant in the North was the condition of the Southern States, and that ho was deter? mined to clean them out ut any cost, and that Mr. Bowen was tho right hand man of General Grant in this movement in our State; that Bowen was a poor man, living on his friends, because he had never been among the thieves, and that if ho could have been bought, he would have been as rich as they were; that whatever has been said, Mr. Bowen stood to-day a high example of political integrity and personal sacrifice, as he was unquestionably one of the ablest men in the country. He stood in tho gap when there was no one eise to save the State, and he deserved the support of every honest man, from the moun? tain i to the sea-board.- Charleston JYews. APPLYING TES PLATFORM.-Hon. John B. Baldwin,, of Virginia, in his speech in the convention at Richmond, gave an amusing illustration of the way iu which he applied thu Cincinnati platform and Mr. Greeley's history,' to answer tho ob? jections of those who are opposed to his acceptance by the'Southern people. Mr. Baldwin said he had lately been in New York, and had met there several of that class of gentlemen, one of whom had approached him with a very deter? mined resolution to persuade him to drop the Ohappaqua farmer by some means or other. "How eau you Southern OT?? support Greeley?" said this anxious patriot. "Don't you remember what he has said and written about you years ago?" "Ah, well," said Mr. Baldwin, "we have granted him a general amnesty for that." "But," continued he, "you must re? member his course during the war. It is impossible you can support him after that." "So it would be, but wc havo removed his disabilities." "But, my dear sir, he cannot possibl y be elected, and yon are putting y ourse) .' in a bad position by supporting a man who will surely be beaten." "Well, we don't know how that may turn out," wound np Mr. Baldwin, "but anyhow we have gone on his bond." And the solicitor decamped. GREELEY ACCEPTS A PRESENT.-Gree? ley has accepted a present. It was u trophy from a ohuroh fair of the Roman Catholio Cathedral, of St. Paul, Minne? sota. Mr. Greeley wrote the following letter in acknowledgment: "NEW YORK, July ll, 1872. "DEAR SIR: I have just received, through Mr. C. A. Dana, your valued present, for whioh I return my hearty thanks. The weight of sixty-one years on my head has of late rendered a cane desirable; and while I am doubtful as to the reception of presents whioh have a I high pecuniary value, I gladly receive y durs, whereof the worth is measured and established not by the number of dollars it may have cost, but by the fond, warm hearts whioh gladly co-ope? rated to tender it. Acoept my profound acknowledgments, with my assurance that henceforth, as heretofore, I shall labor to smooth the rugged pathway of poverty, and render our country first, and the whole world ultimately, the home of political equality and religious liberty. Yours, "HORA.0E GREELEY." CRUSHED TO DEATH.-A young son of Mr. Daniel Gason, of Washington Coun? ty, Ga., became entangled ia the ma? chinery of a mill, whither he had ac? companied his father, last Tuesday, and before he could be extricated wasorushed to death. A dumb boy, in Pennsylvania, was frightened into saying his prayers aloud recently. Some of the dumb Radicals in that State will be jost that way before October. THE LATE DESTRUCTIVE FLOODS IN ALABAMA..-The following letter has boon farniahed the Charleston News by a large ootton bouse of thia city: MoNTooiiEi??,, ALA , July 18, 1872. Therein continues. I saw a.gentle? man from Selma this, morning, and he informed me that the Oahaba River was higher than it has been for twenty years. The crops on the river are all nuder water. This river runs through the cane-brake country. The Warrior River is very high indeed; it rose twenty-five feet in one night. AU the crops on the river are under water; also the Bigbee is as high or higher than ever known. There is no estimating the damage from tbe flood. The orop is shedding the forms and yonng bolls badly from the effects of the heavy and continuous rains we have been having every day for ten days. It is impossible to give an opinion about the damages; all the river and oreek bottoms are a total loss. The fear is that cotton will shed everything, and things look very unsatisfactory to me. The army worm is on us, and no mistake about the matter; how soon they moy destroy the crop, who can tell? Old planters soy they will destroy the orop on or before the middle of August. The weather was never more favorable for them; they are three weeks earlier than any year Biuoe 1868, and I fear they will clean up things in three weeks. The damage by the overflow is immense in this State. Thousands of aores are under water, and have been for four days. Planters are wearing long faces this morning. The situation is a oritioal one with the crop; fully one-third of the plant in this State is late. If the worm should accumulate enough to strip it in four weeks, the late cotton will make nothing, and the early cotton ?B shedding very badly on the red and sandy up? hill ds. A FLAG OF DISTBBSS FLTING FROM GRANT'S SEA-SIDE COTTAGE.-We were told by a friend who lives near the Man on Horseback's gift "Cottage by the Sea" at Long Branch, that a rather strik? ing and decidedly ominous inoident oc? curred at the aforesaid cottage one doy lust week. The inmates thereof, anxious to exhibit their loyalty, determined to run up the Stars and Stripes to the head of the flag-staff, and thus fling out their defiance to the sage of Chappaquo and the party of the new revolution. Ac? cordingly, the flag was brought out, the ropes adjusted, and the immortal bunt? ing run up, when, horror of horrors! os it was flung out to the breeze it appeared Uuion downl A perfect howl of despair arose from tho terror-stricken crew when they dis? covered their mistake, and so paralyzed were they at the dread augury that they gazed at it for several minutes in blank dismay before they finally recovered tho r senses. Then, seizing the ropes again aud cursing the unlnoky mistake, they dragged and tugged at it in such frantic haste that when the flag came down it was torn and tattered in many a fold. Gladly would the dismayed Gront ites have concealed the ill-omened cir? cumstances, but there wero too many spectators of the occurrence for that. All regarded it as an augury that' the ship which bore the fortunes of Grant and his orew had at last run npon the breakers, and that the flag of distress was an evidence of their sinking canso. [Metropolitan Record. NORTH CAROLINA OUTBAGES.-Alluding to the arrest of a nnmber of Radical ne? groes ender the Enforcement Act in North Carolina, the Now York Express says: This is the first use of the Eu Klux Act for the benefit of white or blaok De? mocrats, in the South, and singularly enough, here it is used for the protection of the negro against bis own raoe! If this precedent is followed up in the Sonthern States, a third of the block Union Leaguers will be in jail before the November elections-because these black Union Leaguers are, everywhere in the South, instruments of tyranny, oppres? sion and affright upon their own race. If ' the blacks of the South were free from this oppressive fright, they would vote as white Americans vote, not in masses, but in divisions, in squads, upon princi? ple, or, it may be, upon interest; and pity is, the blacks of the South are not permitted to see that it is their interest to divide, not to be driven, as they are I now, like sheep into pens. FLOW OF SPECIE SOUTH.-We are credibly informed that 50,000 silver half dollars have been sent from Washington by the Republican Executive Committee for use in North Carolina. The wards of the nation are greatly tickled by tbe jiugle of silver, and their eyes dwell upon "rhino" with delight. Tt is plea? sant, however, to note the enterprise which promises to aid in strengthening the people of the South for a resump? tion of tipecio payments, even thongh it comes from staunch supporters of the theory that greenbaok is better thou gold and silver currency. One word of caution: Look out for bogus ooin, par? ticularly if wrapped with paper bearing Radical vignettes.-Augusta Chronicle. AN EXPECTED DUEL.- Advioes from North Carolina represent that the cam? paign has become so bitter and personal that a duel is likely to result from it be? tween Merrimon, the Democratic candi? date for Governor, and Senator Pool. A challenge has already passed, and both are known fighting men, each having heretofore fought duels. In accordance with a law whioh wont into effect yesterday, any barber in the District of Columbia who shaves white trash to the exclusion of negroes, or any restaurateur who serves beefsteak to the one sooner than to the other, does so at the peril of various penalties and for? feiture of license. The wool clip of Texas thia year, is ex? pected to be by far the heaviest in both quantity and quality ever produced in tbot State. DAMAGES TO RAILROADS BX THE FRESH? ET.-Tho lloma (Qa.) Courier, ol Satur? day, says: We are told that the North and Sooth Railroad, between Galera and Birming? ham, will hare to be nearly rebuilt, so much damage baa been done by the re? cent freshet. There are twenty-seven breaks in the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad, between Atolla and Birming? ham, and that it will probably be two months before the oars can run again on that part of the road. WANTS TO RETUBN A STOLEN BIBLE. A Federal soldier, one of a number who plundered the residence of Mr. A. Ley don, in Atlanta, during the war, writes a letter to this geotteman, offering to re? turn the old family Bible, taken by him on that occasion, if Mr. Leyden would send him tbe money necessary to pay the express charges. That soldier, doubtless, contemplates supporting Ho? race Greeley for the Presidency, because none of Grant's family are susceptible of a "returning" sense of justice.

The following is a copy of the memorial and reaolutiona ia honor of the late WILLIAM T. WALTER, as passed by Bichland Lodge, No. 1 39, A. F. M., at their last regular communica? tion: IN MEMORIAM. "It is appointed unto ?ll men once to die." In obedience to this inexorable btw, it has pleased the Supreme Architect of the Uni? verse to taks from our midst our beloved bro? ther WILLIAM T. WALTER, and place him, a -'perfect ashlar," in that temple not made with banda eternal in the Heavens. Having entered npon bis Masonic oareer at mature years, be gave to it that devotion of a mind and heart trained to deede of love and charity, and became for ua a leader in the learning and work of Masonry-exemplifying all the charnoteristics of the order so beauti? fully and perfectly as to win for his memory a place in our hoaita far more endearing than the image of him which yet remains to adorn the inner chamber of our Lodge. By bia moral attainments, his unyielding integrity, and elevated devotion to our prin? ciples, happily blended with those high quali? ties of personal purity which dignified and adorned hts character, he has erected in the hearts of hts brothers a monument which will long be cherished as one of our greatest trea? sures, 1 When such a Brother Macon dies, tho com? mon-place phrases which mark the accus? tomed page in oar record book aro feeble and inexpressive. They are, nevertheless, due, and o,ro awarded, to bira aa to the humblest member ot the cralt-t-but with tho nrofouud conviction that words, of themselves, are in? adequate to express the noble virtues and the unblemished charaoter of our Worshipful Brother, . . ... # But while we If reave the loss of such an exeinplui', while we mourn,the loss of one who vras n brother, a friend and a benefactor, and express our profound sorrow o'er his ashes, there,is another, a narrower and a holier circle, within whioh this afflictive stroke will fall with peculiar heaviness; Where those gontlo and endearing traits of private virtue, which ao eminently adorned nia character, shone with unusual lustre. We would not intrude too soon npon tho sanctity of domestic grief to mingle our tears with their?, yet we cannot fail to remember that their griefs, though mora poignant than ours, is yet oommon to ns all. Like them, we, too, will cherish his memory with all that warm affection whioh bis lite inspired. While we in humble submission bow to the Divine will, and murmur not at the wise de? crees of Providence, it is fitting that we, bis fellow-laborers on the unfinished temple of life, should show our just appreciation of the many exemplary virtnea that adorned the treusel-board of his transitory career as a workman thereon. His man; eminent qualities give us the as? surance that he has at length reached the topmost round of that ladder which leads him to eternal life. It ia, on motion, Resolved, 1. That a page of our record book be set apart to tho memory of our deceased brother, William T. Walter, with auch fitting words of tribute as the Worshipful Master may prescribe. 2. That a copy of these r?solutions, toge? ther with the memorial, be engrossed upon parchment, and printed, with the moat ear? nest sympatbv and condolence of the lodge, to his widow. " 3. That the jewels of the lodge and tho por? trait of oar deceased brother be draped fa mourning, and that the brothers wear the uanal badge for thirty days. 4.
