NEW YoRK, April 22.—The Times says the Socialisti¢ movement in Germany and Russia is not derived from the discontent (f an ignorant peasantry so much as from the intelligent disap) oin‘ed, and disapproval] of | the more or less cultivated men of symptoms which they see to be crushing with severity the ene rey ‘and spirit of the people. In Ger- many, criticism of the acts of the administra- tion, disrespect for the Emperor or his char- acter, the discussion of the principles of free government or any show of spirit, which IS TILE VERY BRFATU, OF POLITICAL LIFE in countries with a liberal situation, are lia- ble to be visited with impris onment or expa- triation. Imperial rule and its harsh exac- tions must not be resisted or even criticised, though they may be honestly regarded as the source of national misery. In Russia every- body who presumes to question the right- eousness of the deerees of autocratic rule or to condemn or resist the instruments en- ployed to carry them into effect, however they may abuse the powers entrusted to them, is set down as one with the craziest of the Nihilists, and is treated with the same se- verity. POLITICAL POINTS. The Tammany Wigwam on Tilden— What the World Thinks of Grant’s Jaunts—Women Can Serve as Notaries Public in Ohio. NEW York, April 22.—The World says the receptions of Grant in Europe, Asia and Afri- ca are a put-up job, and the management of Grant by Badeau, Pierrepont and Stoughton could not have been surpassed by Barnum himself. Its Washington special gives what purports to be the true inwardness of those receptions abroad, saying Grant has been kept wandering about Kuro e and Asia since 1877, the ‘‘Government? candidate for re-elec- on. The Star says: Tilden did not capture Tam- many fast night. The election for Sachems was: Tammany, five hundred and twenty- four, and Anti-Tammany, four. If there is a Democrat in the United States who believes Tilden has the ghost of a chance to carry New York as the party standard bear- er of i880, Iet bun weigh carefully the events of last night at the old wigwam and break the chains of his delusion. The voice that uttered this verdict was not only the voice of action. It certifies to an organization throughout the country that the adamantine Democracy of the city and county of New York are practically unanimous in resenting the wrrogance of au individual who bad the hardihood to believe he can coerce these to do his bidding whom only last fall he united with their adversaries to defeat.

Mr. Ingalls read a communication from the Mayor of Wyandotte, Kansas, setting forth the po ae a condition of the negro emigrants who have come into that State from the Southern States. Mr. Ingalls accompanied the paper with a bill for the re- lief of these canis. He added that at the proper time he would address the this question. The Wallace resolution to rescind the order regarding the appointment of subordinate ofti- cers Was taken up. Mr. Pendleton offered an amendment pro- viding that inasmuch as the Vice-lresident Was not a Senator on this floor it would be more in accordance with propricfv that the appointments made by the Secretary and the Sergeant-at-arms be ratified by a majority of the Senate. He explaimed that these ought not to be held to a strict accountability if they were not allowed full authority to appoint their subordinates. Mr. Conkling said it gave him great concern to learn thatthe Vice-President was nota Senator on this floor. It was the more surprising that the statement came from the Senator from @hio. Did he ignore his worthy colleague, a Demoerat of Demoerats (the allusion being made to Mr. Thurman ina highly sarcastic view tothe great amusement of both sides). Mr. Anthony said that inasmuch as the res- olution was laid over on yesterday by reason of the absence of Mr. Wallace, he would ask ee a similar order because Mr. Edmunds was al sent. Mr. Pendieton gave notice that he would ¢eall up his resolution to allow Cabinet officers seats On the Senate floor as soon as the ariny bill is disposéd of. Mr. Garland obtained the floor and adi dressed the Senate on the sixth section of the army bil. Senalie on Heuse. The reading of yesterduy’s journal, which was very long and would have occupied an hour or two, was dispensed with, and the JTionse resumed consideration of the bill to iepsl te for the imerchange of silver coins for egal tenders.

After discussion, the motion to reconsider was laid on the table and the sections passed as amended. Two amendments, which were offered on Friday, one to make the trade dollara legal tender to the same extent as the standard silver dollar. and another to authorize the is- - sue of fractional paper currency, were with- drawn. The next amendment was one offered by Newberry, of Michigan, to provide that all coins of every description of the Unit- ed States of the face value of 25 cents and under. shall, be received at any Post -oftice in payment of ostage stamps for any sum not exceeding The amendment was adopted. The bill assed as amended. The first sec- tion of the bill provides for the exchange of silver Ps md of the United States of a smaller denomination than one dollar when presented in sums of twenty dollars or multiple thereof, when presented at the office of the Treasurer, or any Assist- ant Treasurer of the United States. Section 2 requires that the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer who may receive any coins under the provisions of this act shall exchange the same in sums of $20 or any multiple thereof for lawful money of the United States on demand of any holder thereof. Section three provides that the present frac- tional subsidiary silver coins shall hereafter be a legal tender in all sums not exceeding twen- ty dollars, in full payment of ali @ues, public and private.

Wheat, tol flax, and all the productions of the temperate zone are being cultivated in abundanee, whilegn a number of counties a large amount of cotton is produced one county reporting as many as 1,000 bales of lust year liemp, which was cultivated in large quantities priorto the war, is men- tioned only in a few instances in the report, showing a material decline in the cultivation of that great staple. Fruit appears to have received a material set-back by the protracted cold weather, and _ the peach buds are reportéd killed in all and in many places the trees are killed. Small fruit appears to have fared moderately well, and an average yield is anticipated. The following has been received from the various counties in response to in- auiries of the Post-DISPATCH: Central Missouri. Missouri embraces that section of lying along and contiguous to the Missouri River, and contains the richest soil to found in the State and furnishes fully one-half of the wheat, corn, hemp and to- bacco that come to the St. Louis market from Missouri dealers.

April 21.—From_ pres- ent prospects more than an average crop of wheat is confidently expected. Oats sre up and looking splendid. Peach crop will be al- mosta failure; the apples and small fruit crop will be good. Farmers are well advanced with their work, and say that the ground never worked better. JACKSON COUNTY. INDEPENDENCE, Mo., April 20.—The crop prospects in Jackson County are excellent. The abundant rains ofthe past few weeks have fully restored the wheat which before was arooping. The ground isin good condi- tion, and farmers are necrly done. breaking it up forcorn. The area of wheat and corn will be considerably larger than last year. Many farmers already have their corn in the ground and most of them will be done pianting by the last of this week. Oats, timothy and blue grass are looking well. Indeed, the farmers express themselves satistied with the condi- tion and prospects of crops. LAFAYETTE COUNTY. LEXINGTON, April 20.—The wheat crop was greatly injured by the drought and the late freeze, but it is thought there is sufficient on the ground, if it receives no further injury, for an average crop. It has improved materi- ally in appearance since the rain on the 6th inst. last year. Very little carn planted, but a ma- jority of the farmers are well advanced with their spring plowing, and only await a favor- able condition of the ground to commence planting. Grain growing finely since rain, WARREN COUNTY. WARRENTON, wheat sown in Warren county this season is considerably over the average, and the crop, forthe most part, is exceedingly promising Large acreage of oats sown, and crop doing well. A heavy crop of corn will be put in. The tobacco crop will be small. Altogether, Warren county is ina prosperous condition, and her people are as well satisfied as any on the globe. COOPER COUNTY. BOONVILLE, April 20.—The Wheat crop is in excellent condition since the late rains, and the yield will be larger than the average. A large corn crop is being planted, but witnout additional rains this crop is liable to suffer, as at this season. The oats crop looks favorable. Many of the peach trees are killed, but the outlook for other fruits is favorable. CLAY COUNTY. LIBERTY. April 20.—The recent rains have had a most beneficial effect as regards the crop prospect, and it is now confidently ex- pected that an average crop of wheat, oats and kindred staples will be raised. The change from ten days since, both in the looks of the growing crop and the farmers’ faces, is wonderfully gratifying. The fruit prospect, in this section, however, is not very good, and while it is of minor importance compared with wheat, etc., still its failure will occasion some loss. Apples alone promise well. Our farmers are planting a large acreage of corn. CHARITON COUNTY. SaLIsBuRY, April 20.—Crop prospects in this county are good. A few crops of wheat have been damaged by the dry weather. but asa general rule wheat is promising. The farmers are preparing for large crops of corn, and are about ready to commeace planting.

Grass looks fine. The farmers are well advanced in their preparations for corn planting. The cold winter killed all the peaches and cherries. Apples, pears, and some of the small fruits give promise of an average yield. Tobacco has ceased to be a general crop inthis section as formerly, and there are no imdications that it will*receive more attention this than last year. SALINE COUNTY. MARSHALL, April wheat in Saline is not really so good as it _gave promise of being in the early winter. The frost—late in March and the succeeding one about Ist of April didvery great dam- age to the crop, and the yield will not greatly exceed one-half an average, even if things are favorable from now on. For an early planting of corn the prospectis very good many plant- ing now—and the acreage will be large. Oats mostly sown and generally coming up well. The long drought came to an end ii the | copious rainfall of this week, and the farm- ers’ faces look brighter. BUCHANAN COUNTY, ST. JOSEPH, April 20.—About the close of the winter (middle of Mareh) the impression prevailed that about one-third of the wheat crop had been destroyed by the cold dry weather succeeding a thaw. The recent rains, however, created a favorable change, and now the indications are that there will be at least anaverage crop. The acreage is equally as large as that of former vears. Oats look promising, and with favorable conditions hereafter there will bea good crop. Corn planting has commencéd under encouraging circumstances, and the farmers are well ad- vanced with all their work. Fruits of all kinds look well. ‘There will be a tremendous crop. especially of apples and peaches. The farmers are jubilant, and their gladness is in- tensified by the facet that the prolonged dry spell had nearly shattered all hopes, having declared two we before the rains commenced that the wheat crop was even then irretrievably lost. They are glad now to ac- knowledge the error. HOWARD COUNTY. FAYETTE, April 20.—Wheat is looking well since the late rains, and promises an ay- erage crop. Corn will be the principal crop this season, and a larg has already been nlanted, but the continusd cold weather is un- favorable to that inthe ground. The tobaceo crop will be very mesgre, although we have one of the best tobacco-growing counties in the State. The quality will be better, howey- er, and command beiter prices.

April 19.— Until quite cently the wheat in this section of State suffered to a considerable extent for the want of rain, also from the effects of course, IIOLDEN, periodical cold spells of weather. Since the re- cent abundant fall of rain, however, wheat has never grown more rapidly, and has apparent- ly whdlly recovered from the injury it sus- tained.

Corn planting is about half through with; but in places it ‘is up and looks well. A larser a reage has been planted this year than ever b to ein the county,owing perhaps to a growing ai pc sition among farmers to embark more cxtensively in the stock-raising business. Bol- linger is a fine grazing county, and people are that stock-raising (of the better grades of ail kinds) will pay a bigger dividend in this line than raising the smaller @ereals. Much new land has been brought underthe plow this spring. It is feared the fruit crop—especially peaches— wil prove a failure. Many trees were killed ou! right by the severity ofthe winter.

THE LOTTERY WAR. Result of To-day’s Decision of the Court of Appeals. _ — The Case tobe Taken up tothe Supreme Court. The decision by the Court of Appeals to-day concerning the lottery cases wiil naturally ex- cite considerable attention. During last summer Police Upmmiseioner Nideclet commenced a fight against the Missouri State Lottery Company,under the general law. A case wus alieady pending in the Sapreme Court, the decision of which would be final.” There were about three hundred and sixty war rants sworn eut against vendors of lottery tickets, charging them simply with a violation of the State law governing lottery in general, The number ef warrants was reduced — about 260, and abont fifty men were arrest- , there being sometimes three or four war- mae against u single individual. The men all appeared and gave bond. A coutract or agree- nent wus ualterwards entered into between the lottery men and Wakefield, Nidelet & Co., by whieh all the arrested ven- ders shall enter a plea of cuilty, but not be sentenced until four test causes shall be decided by the higher courts. Just at this point is where the reported blackmailing job came in. The lottery men claim that this upreemment was entered into on con- dition that they—the lottery men—should puy over to their prosecutors a certain share of the profits of their business. Itisclaimed that three of these payments were actually made. As soon as the payments stopped, or about that time, the presecutors went into the Court of ( riminil Correction and asked that sentence be passed upon the venders who had entered the plea of guilty under the agreement of lust October. Sentence, however, was not passed, forthe reason that the ‘case had not reac hed a final termination. The Court of Appeals to-day decides against the jottery people, but the lottery people will tuke an immediate appeal to the Supremne Court, or, at leust, that is their intention. —_. 6 el’ oe France suid to a reporter this morning that he was not surprised by the decision to-day, as the lower courts hud always decidedj against him. He suid he wus anxious to take the present cause to the Supreme Court tnmediately and have it nuvanced on the docket so a decision could be reached inside of thirty pays. The decision to-duy will, therefore, probably not have uny immediate effect. ADDITIONAL FORE LN NEWS.
