It is said that if the committee report favorable to allowing him to affirm, one of the Liberal leaders will move the House that such a course exceeds thepowres of the House. If they will not allow him to affirm, he says he will go to the Clerk's deak and take a swear at it. And if the House wishes to remove him they will have to do it by physical force.
IT seems that the Great Powers of Europe will have considerable trouble in settling the Greek question with Turkey The Berlin conference may come to some conclusion in regard to the matter, but the Porte has given the Embassadors to understand that whatever conclusions thoy arrive at, cannot be obligatory.

ALBERT 0. PORTER, OUB ITEXT QOVE^aroB. In the R«publican StaUf corf^ntfen today, Hon. AJbert G. Porter was nominated for Governor,, on the thirdt ballot, The Republicans went into the convention with the determination to nominate the strongest man, and we have no doubt that Albert G. Porter is the strongest man that could have been selected. He will best unite and weld the slight Republican dis-
the Republican party, and we were not mistaken. All preferences were sacrificed thai Indiana might redeem herself in 1880.
The Hon. Albert G. Porter has weights to carry, and with him and Gen. Garfield as the Republican standard bearers, Indiana will be redeemed.
MAITY years ago, the people of the Unit ed States, were compelled to take very weak material to construct a president of, and had to skirmish a good deal, to get such men as G. Washington, J. Adams, J, Monroe, Mr.' Madiscn, Andrew Jackson and othgrs whom we could mention. In that penod, those were tfce great men of their day.
We don't have such trouble in finding the "greatest men of our day," now When we gather together on the glorious Fourth of July, we cati count several of these "greatest men of our day," who are trying to be presidents, and among the number one General B. Weaver, or for short, we will call him Barney Weaver
Who is Barney, that the people of the United States should yote for him for president, on the 2d day of November, 1880.
We know that the National Fiatic Greenback Labor Reform party nominated him at Chicago a few days ago, and put on the tail of his presidential kite, some fellow from Texas, whose name we have forgotten. And we take it for grant ed, that this great parly knew who it was placing at its head, as the next president of the United 8tates, when it nominated Barney, but we cannot see what value re ceived a man expects to get, who votes for Barney Weaver and his presidential kite's tail from the Lone Star State.
We advise all of our National friends to vote for Garfield and let Barney remain wicre is.
THE minority report on the exodus question was submitted yesterday. The minority assert that they found no evidence whatever tending to sustain the charge that the Republican party, or any of its leaders have been instrumental, either directly or indirectly, in encouraging the exodus of blacks from the South to the North. With reference to "aid societies" encouraging and aiding this migration, the minority found that the purposes were purely charitable and had no connection whatever with any political movement. The minority then proceeded to a very extensive review of the evidence of some of the principal colored witnesses examined by the committee. In conclusion the raport says there is but one remedy for the exodus and that is fair treatment for the negroes. If the better class of white men of the South would retain the colored labor they must recognize his manhood and his citizenship and re strain the vicious and lawlessness in their midst. If Northern Democrats would check the threatened inundation of black labor into their States they must recognize UW IwtS which haye produced tho exodus and unite with us in removing its causes. The report is signed by Senators Windom and Blair, the two Republican members of the committee.
There can be but one Solution of the exodus as the report states, and that is to give the colored people the same rights and privileges that are given to white men, and when that is done,—when rifle clubs arc a thing of the past, then the colored people will prosper in the South, and there will be no need for an exodus.
As almost perfect house has been lately disentombed at Pompeii. It is the best preserved of all the Roman dwellings hitherto discovered, here are two atria and a very spacious peristyle, in the middle of which there is an ornamental foun tain. There is also a complete bath, which must assist in clearing up some of the doubtful points concerning the arrangement of Roman baths. The paintings in the interior of the house were executed with considerable taste, and they are in good preservation. Those on the first floor, representing, for the most part, marine animals, are especially interesting. The frescoes also, which are contained in the wing of the building, are excellent representations of scenes from animal life.
SrKAKTXG about the Southern negro delegates selling the tickets givem them at the Chicago Convention, a prominent white delegate during the session said:
I advised the negroes to sell their tickets to the convention—I mean those ven them. There is nodis every propriety in their casein They have no real friends in Chicago, except negroes, who had much better be at work than staring *t the con vention. These colored delegates are poor, and at the close of the convention they will be borrowing money from us to return home. So I said to? tbem: *Go to a broker with your tickets they are a marketable commodity here, put the money in your pocket*, and pay your expense* and your return fare with it.

THE country needs competition in tele-, »ph lines. JS The TfiMhlngton Star shows by thePftgures contained in the repon of me Westera Union Company for the quarter ending with the 30th of the present month. That there is an increase of over $1,600,000 gross, and fl,000,500 net earnings over last year. The net profits of the year will, ii is Estimated, be about $5,3000,000, orll}£ flier cSht. on the capital stock, after deducting fixed charges for interest and the sinking fund. Out of this, 8 per cent, in cash dividends will have been paid to the stockholders, and $1,543,000 invested in new property and held as a surplus fund. To understand the true inwardness of these figures, the -public must bear in mind the fact that the capital stock of the company in question has been "watered," or doubled up without any actual corresponding outlay of money, about seven times the par value of the original shares. A net profit of 11% per cent, on the amount of the present stock is, therefore, equivalent to a yearly dividend of about 75 per cent, on the original investment. In yiew of these facts, is it any wonder that there is on the one hand a constant cry for competing lines, and on the other an increasing demand that the government shall take possession of all the telegraph wires in in the country and operate them for the benefit of the whole people? The above figures show that in its hands they could be made to solve the problem of cheap telegraphy in the United States and still yield a handsome revenue to the public treasury.
A TERRIBLE tragedy occurred at Dana, Vermillion county on last Tuesday, a full account of which will be published in our issue to-morrow. The account of it is unavoidably crowded out to day. Hon. Wm. JEggleston has been retained as counsel.
Lincoln in Richmond.
July Atlantic.
After his interview with Judge Campbell, the President being about to return to the Wabash, I took him and Admiral Porter in my carriage. An immense concourse of colored people thronged the streets, accompanied and followed the carriage, calling upon the President with the wildest exclamations of gratitude and delight. He was the Mosses, the Messiah, to the slaves of the south. Hundreds of colored women tossed their hands high in Vic air, and then bent down to the ground weeping for joy. Some shouted songs of deliveiance, and sang the old planta tion refrains, which had prophesied the comine of a deliverer from bondage. 'God Bless you, Father Abraham!" went up from a thousaud throats. Those only who have seen the paroxysmal enthusi asm of a religious meeting of slaves can form any adequate conception of the way in which the tears and smiles and shouts of these emancipated people evinced the frenzy of their gratitude to their deliver er. He looked at it all attentively, with face expressive only of a sort of pathetic wonder. Occasionally its sadness would alternate with one of his peculiar smiles and he^ would remark on the great aroportion of those whose color indicated a mixed lineage from the white master and the black slave and that reminded him of some little story of his life in Kentucky, which he .would smilingly tell and then his face would relapse again into that sad expression which all will remember who saw him during the last few weeks of the rebel lion. Perhaps it was a presentiment of his impending fate.
I accompanied him to the ship, bade him farewell, and left him. to see his face no more. Not long after, the bullet of the assassin arrestee the beatings of one of the kindest hearts that ever throbbed in human bosom.
The Straw on the Farm.
In mixed farming there is nothing ^rown that should be wasted. Everyihing should conduce to the fertility of •lie farm and the profit of the entire system. I do not think if I had a crop of 100 tons of straw, that I would think it advisable to sell any of it off the farm at $6 per ton. I think the farm offers better price. But when I see an old stack that has stood for three or four years and is gradually settling into the ground, I cannot help wondering why fanner has not sold it at any price. Although straw is not equal to gooa hay for feeding purposes, yet its value is not a littlo. Lven when allowed to get dead ripe, if the crop is properly cared for afterwards, cattle do very well on a straw diet, provided it is not exclusive. 1 have made a practice of wintering young horses, and all horses not working, on a considerable portion of straw daily, what is left in the manger being used for bedding. I have been satisfied of its value when thus used. Store cattle are also feci on straw, alternating with hay, and they always eat the straw up clean When I have taken the trouble to cut my grain a trifle green, but so ripe not to injure the qualitv of the berry, I have found the value of the straw much enhanced. Straw, however, no matter how it may be cut and cured, is not equal to good hay. I have always been amply repaid for a generotis use of straw in a hog pen, not only for the comfort of the pigs, but as a matter of economy, as straw is a perfect absorbent. Too much of the profits of farming is often lost through negligence ofthe straw crop. It is a valuable element in mixed husbandry, and I, for one, should not know how Jo live through the winter if it was not for my straw stack, which I can use in many ways to keep my atock clean, comfortable and healthy. "In tlie secondsermonI ever preached front that text,4A mess of pottage,* I got it, 'A pot of message/ and the worst of it was that I kept repeating the blunder all through the sermon, to the intense casement of the congregation, and ome impairment. I fear, of the lesson of tbe discourse. The Devil seemed to be On my tongne, and I spoke the text Wtong in spite of myself, almost every lime. I grew hot as a furnace I prespired to my finger-ends my face was like a beet and when I came to that awful text I would make a great pause, fix my lips right, and then, to my intense mortification, say 'A pot of message!' I was in agony. Finally I ceased to try to prouoniice it, but onIj said 'my text'—poiutiog at -it**7—Kts. JM ififl Tqiittage.
