Aus and Tiitleo brings Gen. Hancock and others, well known in Washington, to (lie frout. The preference hero I think is for Hancock, both because of per­ sonal liking for the man and because he is regarded as Mavaillbie.,t Capt. ilowgate'8 vessel, the Gulnare, which leaves to-day to establish a col­ ony in the Northern regions for Polar explorations, goes entirely under pri­ vate auspices. The Government does not recognise the vessel or the project. One Naval officer will no on the vessel having received leave of absence. That municipal corruption is not aU ways the result of suflrage seem:) to be shown by the recent finding of over thirty iudi^tmtfnts in connection with our District of Columbia affairs. As is known, there is uo voting here. The form of government is as much a pure depotl8ni as any in Asia. Several •offi­ cials were found to bo in ceillusion with outside parties, and a great lack of ex ecutive care was shown. The change iu this administrations manner of dealing with Mexico is strikingly shown by late events. On Saturday prompt orders were giyen to prevent a raid upon Mexican Territory and it has just beeu decided not to per­ mit our troops to follow victorious In­ dians across the border. Three years ago the administration adopted such a course toward Moxieo that only the helpless condition of that country pre­ vented a war. The change is at once creditable to the United States and gratifying to good citizens of both countries. There was a report here this morn­ ing that correspondence had passed between . delegates from different Southern States with a view to united support of Gen. Hancock. The leader of the Hancockuboom" in this city de­ nies any knowledge of such correspon­ dence. HAMLAX-COllHTHKr. Discussion of the late Providence boat race has brought out a statement by one who was in a po^iliou to know, that will, no doubt,sot at rest the long disputed Lachine, and. more recently, the Hop Bitters boat race NIKMB Ilanlnn and Courtney. Tlii* gentle­ man says that the facts were I hat Courtney's friends agreed to let Han- Ian beat 111tn at Lacliitie. but tlie was so bunglingly done that, a*2wiil be ; remembered, Courtney came near min­ ing them all by beating Haulais, any­ way, and only carried out his parti of the programme by stopping when near the home stake. There was trouble in the settlement, and Courtuey got tho worst of the bargain. When Ute (ft,- OQO'prise was put up for the match on the Potomac River, llaulairs friends proposed another hippodrome to Court­ ney. He refused except on certain conditions. He demanded that tlie old match should be settled for and that he should be allowed to win the'mstch, taking half the money and a percen­ tage of the pools. This was finally agreed to,* and Courtney was given $4,000. Haitian came to Wasliin^t^u and went Into training at the Aualostan Boat Club. He developed finely and it was reported that Courtney was in bad form. Then Hanlan scut word that if Courtney won the race be must row for it. Courtney was completely de­ moralized at this sudden:turu of aflairs but a few days before a race that he was not prepared for on the supposi­ tion that he was to win it anyway, and the result was a ceiupleto uorvous prostration and his failure and subse­ quent sickness. Among these who know the inside of the two previous races (?) the story of tlie stitcli In Haitian^ side at Provideuco does not go for much. flSTThe dairy business In tlftir tlon Is steadily Increasing, notwith­ standing occasionally reports are made that the business does not pay, >t{td that those engaged in it are about to retire from it and leave the tie!J to others. Yet, since September last, butter and cheese have been relatively higher than any other product! of tlie farm hereabouts, and even now they are much higher than ihey were a year ago. That the business pays. Is am% doubted by farmers In Iowa who are going into It on a larger scale than over before, believing that at least fot the in there is more inoneyltt It than iu grata. Jus* «•«* foctiot,, the usual unsettled coudltion ef tho markets, the difficulty experienced in making sales, leads torno to believ* that a disastrous summer season haa opened. We are not of that opinion. Although we do iK»t expect f*uvy pri­ ces for the next three mouth*, still there is no Indication that the buslnoM - is-going to pot." During the of May there were sold on the Klgln Board of Trade 16,259 boxes of cheese, aggregating 004,058 pounds, at an aver­ age of 10 cents per pouud: aud 116,078 pounds of butter, nt an average of S3 cents, tho total sales for the month footing up 9103,508.76.
