My Dear Rural: —One of your Southern Cor¬ 
responding Editors, in “swinging round the circle,” 
finds himself away “out West, ” or away “up 
North,”—for in the South I noticed they were 
often convertible, terms, just as you or your readers 
may happen to call it. At any rate I am up in Chi¬ 
cago, with weather colder than mid-winter while I 
was iu Florida; still, it is called here veiy passable 
Bpring weather. The fanners are sowing their spring 
wheat and oats, and more or lesB getting ready for 
their great crop—Indian corn—the crop, above all 
peradventore, of the New World. But for it. gaunt 
famine would even now be stalking over all this 
happy iand. Its failure entails more privations upon 
this country than all the others, and produces great¬ 
er want and Buffering. When the farmer sees his 
corn-crib full he knows ho will have a surplus of 
hogs, of sheep, and cattle, and chickens and eggs, 
and geese and turkeys,—in fine, a fullness of “fat 
things.” But if the com crop fail, as sometimes it 
docs, though only partially, he feels the want from 
the kitchen to the stable, from the parlor through 
all the ramifications of domestic life. Corn is to 
the grains what gold is to metals—the precious and 
priceless one. 
The. production of corn in thi6 and other Western 
States is practically unlimited, and the only cereal 
that can be relied upon as always a remunerating 
crop. At the South its cultivation must, and is, 
rapidly extending; and with its greater production 
will come an increase of the cotton crop, because 
upon abundant food depends low-priced cotton. 
And the competition of the cheap labor in India 
will be overcome by the cheap food, and improved 
methodB of cultivation induced by the use of labor- 
saving machinery. 
Coming, as I did, almost directly from the pros¬ 
trated South, visiting all her principal towns and 
cities, the contrast furnished by this town—a marvel 
and a wonder of itself—is most marked and striking. 
Here all is life, bustle and activity. I was here about 
a quarter of a century ago. It was then a little mud- 
hole hamlet: a single dilapidated old bridge served 
K00HESTER AND NEW YORK 
SATURDAY, APRIL 25, IS 
Money matters are rather quiet in this vicinity. Regular 
bank customer-, anil those who t an make first class payer, 
are enabled to obtain such aceommorlation as the. desire. 
Incidental and specnlulve notes are not In favor Just now. 
The market in the eastern cities is too stringent for large 
accumulations of currency at this point, ami the banks have 
no occasion to seek Investments, a is eoui times the case at 
this season of the year, It is generally remarked by onr 
bankers that they have rarely If ever known so great, a strin¬ 
gency as has existed in New York and Boston for the last 
four weeks to occur wl hout producing a more decided effect 
on financial matters in the interior. 
Money con'lnues in active demand in New York, and loans 
are made at 7 per cent, on call. The New York Evening Post 
of Saturday says —’’The loan market is easier to-day, and 
the general confidence seems to be reviving. Call loans are 
made at 7per cent., and discounts an; made at <®8per cent, 
for the choicest de-criptfon of commercial paper.” 
Government securities are firmer, with the exception of 
Tec-Forties, and prices on Saturday advanced E@J£C. on 
most descriptions. A good inquiry prevails from investors, 
who have been holding off to buy when bonds should seem 
to “touch bottom." Capitalists, who sold out some time 
Blnce at high priceB, are now seeking to purchase for In¬ 
vestment. 
Railway shares for some time have been extremely active. 
Cotton.—C otton Is bleb-middling selling at 30@82c. Not¬ 
withstanding the advance In the raw materia), the goods 
market is not active, and the trade in dry goods is small for 
the season. 
Wool.—T he eastern market Is rather quiet, hut prices are 
firm. Manufacturers are not anticipating their wants for the 
raw material. The sales of domestic in Boston last week 
were 703.000 It’S. The larger portion Of the sates were of til 
low and medium grades. A lot of 600,000 'b?. of Chilian wool 
was advertised for sale at auction in Boston last week. Only 
about three-quarters ot the amount were sol i, prices not 
being satisfactory. The Chilian Merino sold at prices rang¬ 
ing from 25 to 2!l'-£c. per pound; Chilian Mestiza brought 
from 21 is to 26jZc. per pound. 
Grain and Breadstuffs,—’T he eastern market has been 
rather active, with greater firmness in prices the last week. 
There is no particular change In our local market. 
Butter ib still scarce, and. Is selling at quotations. The 
eastern market is poorly supplied. Best lots for the grocery 
trade are selling in Boston tit 55@57c. 
The Local Market Is Inert, and prices for most descrip¬ 
tions of produce remain at about t- e quotations of lastweek. 
Pork has advanced considerably, as has also hay. The lfitter 
was selling at 8-: on Monday for the best quality. Tills Is 
not owing to a real scarcity of the article, but rather to a 
want ol time on the part of farmers to bring their surplus to 
market. Potatoes also show an advance, owing to a short 
supply. Nothing doiug In Hops, which are nominal at quo¬ 
tations.

nres. The investigating committee reported that

that there was nothing to base his expulsion upon, 
and there the matter rested. 
The railroad w r ar—the legislative branch of it—

From Washington. 
The Trial of the President was continued from 
day to day throughout last week. Much documen¬ 
tary evidence was submitted by the defendant’s 
coansel, and quite a number of witnesses for the 
defense were sworn. Mr. Stanbery was sick and 
unable to be in Court, and an effort was made by 
Mr. Evarts to have the Trial postponed, his pres¬ 
ence being deemed very essential; but the Senate 
objected to any delay other than an adjournment 
for one day. 
The chief witnesses sworn w r ere General Sherman, 
Quartermaster General Meigs, E. O. Perrin, Secre¬ 
tary Welles, his 6on Edgar T. Welles, Chief Clerk 
in the Navy Department, and Postmaster General 
Randall. The latter testified as to the removal 
from office of Foster Blodgett, Postmaster at Au¬ 
gusta, Georgia, and stated that he. was removed 
because of written complaints of misconduct aud 
indictment for perjury. The testimony of the vari¬ 
ous witnesses contained nothing of special impor¬ 
tance. Numerous mestions put by the President’s 
counsel were objected to by the managers, and the 
objections generally sustained by the Court. 
Before the Court adjourned on Saturday, Mr. 
Evarts stated that the continued illness of Mr. 
Stanbery prevented the counsel from saying posi¬ 
tively, but. as far as they knew their evidence was all 
in. It is thought the Trial will conclude this week. 
Congress is doing almost nothing in the way of 
regular business. The House meets every day, and 
adjourns to attend the Trial. Much of the time a 
quorum is not present. When busiuese is resumed 
it will probably be put through in haste. 
The registration of voters in Washington contin¬ 
ues. As many of the whites decline to register, it 
is ^probable that the blacks will carry the coming 
election by an overwhelming majority.

over the remains of Thomas D’At cy McGee were sol¬ 
emnized in Montreal on Monday of last week, with 
much pomp. The procession, marchiug six deep, oc¬ 
cupied two hours and fifty minutes in passing. At 
the lowest estimate, 30,000 people marched iu its 
ranks. 8t. Patrick’s Church, where the mass was 
celebrated, was hung with crape, aud richly deco¬ 
rated. A sermon was preached by the Vicar-General 
official of Ottawa. Be warmly eulogized Mr. Me

During the late freshet at Hamilton, C. W., two 
men were working in a saw-mill, when the dam gave 
way, and the rush of the water swept the mill, with 
the men, into the fearful abyss below. The mill 
was erected on a hank nearly forty feet high. Both 
men took the fearful leap, yet escaped with their 
lives, though severely injured.

Horrible Railroad Accident. —Another awful 
catastrophe — a second Angola — has sent a thrill of 
horror over the land. At three o’clock on the morn¬ 
ing, of the 15th inst., four cars of the night express 
train bound eastward on the Erie Railway, were 
thrown from the track near Carr’s Rock, sixteen 
miles west of Port Jervis, aud precipitated down an 
embankment nearly one hundred feet high. The 
cars were turned over several times in their descent, 
and were quite demolished. One, a sleeping car, 
was entirely consumed by lire, and several of its in¬ 
mates were burned to death; two other cars were 
thrown into the river, and one boy was drowned. 
The number, of killed is thought to reach thirty, 
while over fifty were wounded, many of them so 
severely that they cannot recover. The accident is at¬ 
tributed to a broken rail and an undue rate of speed.

Universal Clothes Wringer with cog wheels, to 
save his wife from the hardships of washing day, 
from which she died. It was urged in defence that

soon broke down and became worthless the Judge 
ruled that he was guilt?/ in not having obtained the
