GRANT AND THE ENGLISH MISSION.— There ts a bit of gossip afloat to the effect that President Hayes as an honor to Gen. Grant has made up his mind to formally tender the Eng- lish mission to him, and pursuance to that tn- clination the President will invite him to take the mission upon his return to Washington. ‘The President according to the same authority does not anticipate thatGen. Grant will accept the trust, but it will be offered to him neverthe- less as a mark of honor both to Gen. Grant and the English nation. ‘ ECRETARY SHERMAN has called on the head3 of the bureaus of the Treasury department for their estimates of expenses for the fiscal year ending June 30th, Issi. Payine Ur.—The First National Bank of New York and the Bank of Commerce had the Ume for the payment of their subscriptions to Ube four per cent. loan extended to October ist, to-morrow.) They sent anwinber of bonds to Europe. They have paid for all the bonds de- livered them In this country, and will to-day make the final payment for those in London. ‘The office in London closes to-day, and the Treasury agent there will turn over the bonds to the purchasers. They will either be paid for by called bonds or coupons in London, or ready money in this country. THERE WILL BE PLENTY oF Reports to be made at the commencement of Congress to worry newspaper men. Hendrick B, Wright's committee will try to solve the labor question; acommittee will declare whether or no Sena- tor Ingalls bought his seat; there will be a re- Re of the Butler committee as to whether Khode Island maintains a repubdiican form of government; a report will be made as to whether there was an illegal use of money in the Congressional election in 1878, besides sev- eral reports on minor subjects. A Hitch IN THE RuLg.—A rule adopted by the Post Office department which prohibits the de- livery of local letters not properly addressed to the post office known to the law,is calculated to make a good deal of trouble. As an illustra- ton, there 1s a post ofice known to the law as the Kanawha (W. Va.) office, but which Is really the town of Charlestown, W. Va. Now, if a letter should be addressed to Charlestown,under existing regulations it would not be delivered, but would be sent to the dead letter office and from thence forwarded to Charlestown as a town, but to Kanawha as a post office. As the Chinaman would say, its ‘‘allee samens;” but Still the system keeps up a distinction without a difference, JUDGE PoRTER, first comptroller of the Treas- ury, has decided that “the statute authorizing the redemption of catied bonds where ‘clear and unequivocal’ evidence has been furnished that they have been destroyed, does not apply to coupons which at the time of the alleged destruction thereof have been detached from the bonds. There is no provision for the re- demption of coupons destroyed under these circumstances.” ARMY ORDERS.—Post Chaplain Geo, A.

All the Mormon; who believe in gamy to be a revelation from Heaven, and superior to the act of Con- 4 TALK WITH PEOF. LANGSTON, His Views UPon the Exodus and Upon Haytien Affairs. A reparter of Tag Srar this morning met Prof. Langston, U. 8. minister to Hayti, and the following conversation was had: ‘Star:—< Protessor, what are your views upon the subject of the p exodus?” Prof. Langston:—“For certain reasons which seem sufficient tome,I am in favor of the exodus. I have no confidence in the perma- nent elevation of the colored people while they remain in the midst of scenes of their former enslavement, with the oid master class and the old overseers not only dominant, as owners of the soll and the possessors of education aod intelligence, but in many localities superior in numbers, By these means they control tue laboring cl as the emancipated classes must always be, certainly during the early years following ‘thelr emancipation. New Scenes, bew surroundings, seem to me to be ab- golutely indispensable to render the newly emancipated, conscious of their freedom and responsibilities in the new and even more dif- ficult ways of life. Bestdes, there is such excess of laborers in the south, made necessary by the old order of slavery and slave-holding methods of industry, that emi-ration seems to be indispensable to bring about a state of things that wiil give remunerative labor to those who remain in the south.” Star:—“ Would you advise a general exodus?” Prof. L:—*O no: @ reasonable emigration from the south would not only tend to improve the condition of the larger body of the colored people remaining there, but would tend, per necessity, to superinduce and establish habits of intelligent industry among the whites, cer- tainly the poorer classes of them, and thus a general benefit would be wrought. In view of Such considerations and others that might be mentioned, I have felt that the exodus was, on the whole, a movement promising considerabie good to all concerned.” Star:—“ Where would you advise the colored people to locate? ” Prof, 1..i—* 1 wouid have them emigrate, not to one particular state of the north, but settle in the states generally, wherever remunerative labor is promised, with such opportunities for improvement as the latoring class ordinarily finds in such states. Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Iilinots, not to name other states, need laborers, and I believe would give the negro a cordial and hearty reception. Hecan hope, however, to be received kindly and treated well for any considerable length of time, only as he puts himself upon his good behavior and demon- strates bis value to the community in which he ves. Star:—“ Do you believe the negro can stand the northern climate? ” Prof. L.—“In my judgment there 1s no ques- tion but that the negro does even better as a laborer in the northern climate than tn the south, and then the necessities connected with life in the north gives him a providence and care of his earnings that he does not gain in the south or any tropical part of the world. Hts edvcation in the north, in a business point of view, as ds all the practical things of life, as well as that of books in the schools, will be very much advanced and prove very much more thorough than anything of this sort he can gain for many yearsinthe south. I think that the negro forms no exception, as to his general interest and improvement in nature and aptitude, among the peoples of the earth, to the law of emigration, which is so plainly wittex in the history and advancement of man- kind, from the earliest Phoenician and Grecian colonies down to this day. In this regard what seems to be good for the Irishman of our coun- try, emigrat: from his native land, seems to be advantageous to the colored American. There is this advantage, however, in tavor of the latter—that he ts not required to leave his country nor his government—but only to move from One section of our great country to another. He has no change of language to contend with, and no obstruction to overcome in an opposing public sentiment’ or general feeling against him. Indeed, he goes toward the civilization,and the people who have brought him his freedom.” AFFAIRS IN HAYTI. Star:—“Professor; having concluded the ex- odus subject will you give Tag Star some in- formation in regard to Hayti and its commerce with the Untted states?” Prof. L.:—“Certainly, Our commercial rela- tions with the island of Hayti are steadtly im- proving. We are not only supplying that country Low with its provisions, but trade in our cotton cloths 1s commencing with promise of general improvement, and we are supplying the peo- ple of Hayti with all the silver coin which con- stitutes their currency. Coffee and logwood are being constantly sent by steamships and sailing vessels to our country, the logwood to be be used here, and the coffee mainly for transhipment to Europe. It cannot ve a great while, however, before the Haytian coffee, gathered and cleaned in an improved manner and by improved methods, will be sold in our markets, and it will prove a most acceptable article. Indeed, It is a fact, that Haytian coffee, well secured, is considered to be a most excel- lent ste Star:—“Is there any prospect of a stable gov- ernment in Hayti?” ‘of. Li— ‘Yes, there is. The constitution of Haytl, that of 1567, under which the present government is istered, is modelled after our own and promises to work salutary results politically in the establishment of a well-or- dered government, peace and security to life and property.” S,ar:—“ Did not the late revolution do the country very harm?” y eat Prof. L.:—“ The late revolution in Hayti de- prived that country of a very excellent Presi- dent, whose term of office was within ten months of its close; but, notwithstanding this, and the fact that @ large amount of property was destroyed and many lives lost, that revo- lution may finally work a new order of things which may result in a longer peace and a more extended and general prosperity than the re- Ss enjoyed for many years. The pre- iminary steps will at once be taken for organ- izing a permanent government under the present constitution. The most prominent candidate for President at this time seems to be Gen. Salamon. The house of delegates, you know, elect a senate, and that senate and the house, in joint session, elect a President. The house is elected by the people, so that the thepecoe? by this system, really the choice of e ” S&lar:—“Does not the prevalence of yellow fever operate against the prosperity of Hayti?” Prof. L.:—* Yellow fever 1s not indigenous to extent supposed. been any yellow fever there, until this summer, since During part of the ene season yellow fever has prevailed in Hayti to some extent, especially at Port-au-Prince, Mirragone and Aux Cayes. It has, more or leas, {interfered with the commerce between that country and ours, since, during its prevalence, steamships and oe vessels would hesitate to land at either of the three ports named, by reason of the fact that they would be subject to rigid juarantine regulations upon returning to our untry.” qi gq country. Sta: las the fever been very fatal?” Prof, L.. Not a large number of Americans died of it, during the season, but among the foreigners there the mortality was large. While the fever has been quite severe, it has Not prevailed to hing like the extent, nor has it been so fatal as in our own country, es- pecially: at Memphis. Yellow fever seems to ve but little effect upon the natives, but dur- ing its prevalence they sicken and die of a disease Called the Mauvaise fever. This is a regarded as con- the yellow fever, but both ‘Let me add,” said the Professor, 48 porter was leaving him, “as sho ant two lines of steams! from New York via Port-au-Prince to ti ish Main, and the other via Kingston, Jamaica to Port-au-Prince, have been establishea and are said to be doing a very excellent business, elon there is a very large number of sailing aeoser is plying between Haytian and American pol ANOTHER QUESTION has arisen with reference tothe Astley belt.

My reply was that !f my own county was any indi- cation, Foster would have from 25,00 to 40,000 majority, but not having been over the state, I could only gather public sentiment from the press, of which they could judge as well as I. I said nothing to any one about John G. Thompson, I have no means of forming any opinion as to the wisdom or propriety of his non election as chairman of the executive com- mittee of the confederate democracy of Ohio. It 1s a family quarrel with which I have no concern. Permit me to say, however, that I have a high opinion of his ability as an’ execu- lve ¢ filcer, and believe he is too shrewd to bring rebel brigadiers to speak for Ewing. Nor did I make any such statements in regard to the legislature as are attributed to me. I believe its political complexion depends upon Hamilton county. In regard to Senator, my decided preference is Secretary Sherman. He 1s, however, not a candidate. Among the host of and true men who adorn the republican party of Ohto, the general assembly can, without trouble, select a man who will give entire satisfaction to our le. In this section we care but little who he is, so that he is a stalwart republican, and an earnest supporter of the American sys- tem, viz: ‘The full and complete protection of domestic industries, by discriminating duties upon foreign import.” I don't know who your reporter 1s, but he certainly drew entirely upon his imagination.

Leaping from a Sea Wall, A YOUNG WASHINGTON WOMAN'S FLIGHT FROM A HUSBAND CRAZED WITH LIQUOR. The New York Sun of Yesterday says:—At dusk last evening a young woman sprang off the sea wail at the Battery from among the throng of Sunday evening ramblers, Park Po- liceman Wade answered to the alarm raised by the bystanders, and rescuea her before. she had incurred any danger, even from ex- posure. She was taken to the New street lice station, and there detained. She 1s of lelicate and ladylike appearance, and was dressed plainly, Dut in good taste. Her fea- ures are attractive, and her figure slight. She said that she 1s Mrs. Nellié Crawford, 22 years old, of 36 Bleecker street. Mrs. Schnelder, who rents @ very neat furnished room to Mr. and Mrs. Crawford at the above uumber, said last evening that the couple came to the house about three months ago, hav- ing just arrived from Washington. Both hus- band and wife were underst« to be making their living by literary wo he as a story writer and she as a contributor and poet. This reputation resulted in attracting attention to the woman from the other occupants of the house, who noticed that she appeared to be industrious. She never rested from reading and writing except when taking short walks %n the neighborhood, and then her manner showed that her attention was fixed on other things than those she saw. In the opinion of the neighbors the husband suffered in comparison with her. He was neither industrious nor steady. Latterly, the couple seem to have been unfortunate in their literary occupation, for Mrs. Crawford was so much in want of money that she took employment for a few nights as a waltrses inan up-town garden. On Saturday night the hus- band didnot come home. He returned at 6 o’clock yesterday morning. Hn had been to the walking match with a number of friends. The neighbors ane that he was much worse for dribk, and that he seemed on the verge of with his wife delirlum, He quarrelled and beat and kicked her. The woman was afraid, and Mrs. Schneider remained in the room to ft obigert the man from doing her harm. Toward the middle of the day the efforts of the women seemed to take effect, and he be- came calmer. In the afternoon he went out and drank again. On his return his wife avoided him, and finally rushed weeping from the house. Soon afterward a note was found addressed to her husband, in which she said that she intended to drown herself. No atten- tion was paid to it, for it was puppoees that the threat was intended only to frighten the hus- band, and that she would return when she thought he was himself again, DESTITUTE, AND PROBABLY INSANE.—In the Police Court this morning, a rather ‘100k- ing white man, giving the name of Charles B. Davis, pleaded guilty to the charge of the lar- ceny of $20 worth of carpenter's tools from H. Williams and two others. It was stated that yesterday morning the tools were taken from an unfinished house in the northwestern part of the city. It was algo stated that the cam of the man was in a destitute condition; and, further, there were some doubis a3 to his sanity. The court said he had no discretion, and the physician at the jall might examine him. He sentenced him to a fine of $20 or 30 days in jail. MARRIAGE Licenses have been {ssued to Smith E.

BALTIMORE WALKING MATCH BATTLE OF GEOK TEPE. THE RUSSIAN EMPEROR ILL IRISH ANTI-RENT EXCITEMENT. PLAGUE STRICKEN MEMPHIS THE POLICE COMMISSION MUDDLE —-——e___ FOREIGN AFFAIRS, The Irish Tenants Right Tro LONDON, Sept. the leading art night, concedes that the complaints of the Irish tenant farmers are mostly genuine, and that they are f-r the moment unable to pay their rent; and that they believe in their right to remain on the land in everyevent. They are fresh from the exhortations of the most popular politician in Ireland (meaning Mr. Parnell) to stick to their homesteads at whut- ever consequence. If the general refusal to pay rent 1s followed by a wholesale eviction this agatn will almost certainly be followed by aseries of agrarian murders; and unless the Irish executive 1s prepared to support the land- lords by measures amounting to little les3 than military occupation of a large part of the coun- try, the landlords will have to choose between virtually conceding the tenants claim to fixity of tenure and giving the signal for an outbreak of something hardly distinguishable from civil war, The anti-tenant agitation 1s only ope among the other symptoms of the general unrest of Ireland. For the moment it is the most urgent; but even if the worst pinch of the agrarian distress were relteved by a universal reduction of rent, there would stili be mucn to disquiet usin the condition of the country. ‘The enthusiasm by which Mr. Par- nell’s pro; has been attended has infinitely weakened the hands of the more moderate home rulers and emboldened the ultras; and among its first results was somewhat to precip- tate the proroeel to assemble a national con- vention. The fate of this particular project is at present uncertain; but the agitation upon which the more violent section of the home rulers have entered will in one shape or another produce its inevitable results upon the party generally. The troublous prospect in Ireland 1s not really affected by the success or fallure of any given Scheme for organizing pressure upon the government. The present ‘temper of the Irish people and their leaders concerns us much more seriously than any particular proposal for its manifestation, and while this temper re- mains what it is—semi-seditious among the eople and recklessly incendiary among the eaders—the situation must be a grave one, whether the convention ever meets or not. It should be noted that the old statute which pro- hibited conventions in Ireland has been re- peated,” ‘whe Times on the Situation. ‘The Times, in a leading editorial article on the dicorganizing effects of Mr. Parnell’s policy, Says lt would become really formidable only if ii should extend allover Ireland. The Times does not believe that it will do so. “ Nothing,” it says, “will tend to ee the anti-rent projects more effectually than the improve- ment in the harvest prospects which 1s report- ed from the greater part of Irelar.d.” The Count’s Retirement.

Béitor Star:—¥or many years a flerce light of facts and arguments has Deaten upon the sub- ject of the improvement to be made in the Po- tomac river opposite Washington city. Numer- ous plans have been weighed In the balance an@ found wanting. Public opinion has condemned the Pose of forcing the mighty current and the freshets of the Potomac sharply to the east below Easby’s Point, and projecting them, with all their desolating power, agatnst that frail Peninsula of earth, sand, and gravel known as South Washington, leaving on the Virginia side malarial flats a mile wide, includiay an aban- Goned channel. It has also condemned the Project of destroying our presert arbor, and sending our wharf linea half mile farther west: to an exposed shore; and also, that of making two streams out of water barely sufficient for one of the necessary width and depth. The fittest ideas have survived, namely: the main- tenance and improvement of the main channel and of the existing harbor of Washington. ‘These are understi to be the leading features of a plan now in course of preparation by Major Twining, and approved by leading engineers of the U.S.army. I do not know the Major's working details or that they are decided upon; nor do [speak for him. I mention him because, 1n engineering circles, he has the credit of origi- nating certain thoughts which I wish to use, because they appear to me right. The dest plan must, I think, embrace the following elements: I. The improvement of the prexent channel. TO diminish the danger to Georgetown of freshets and weaken the impulsion of the current against the east shore of the Potomac between Rock Creek and Easby’s Potnt, the channel should be widened by cutting cif the eastern rounded ex- tension of Analostan Island. (See recommen- dation of this in Board of Survey Report, 1872.) To prevent the obstruction of the current by the solid rock projection of Easby’s Polat and its consequent violeat deflection towards the Virginia shore, about 200 feet of the point should be taken off. ‘To take 460 feet, as has been pro- posed, would endanger the Long bridge; and, vesides, would be very costly, say $400,000. (2) Cutting off 200 feet would, with the widening of the channel at Georgetown as above, give to the river an easy curve. From Easby’s Point to the lower end of the flats, near the Arsenal, the west and souchwest line of the tlats should be strongly bulk-headed or pprapped From the lower end of Analostan Island a wall should be built along the west side of the Main channel, high enough to confine the cur- rent at ordinary stages of water, and give it force enough tv clean out its bed, after the man- ner of Eads’ jetties at the mouth of the Missis- sippl, (thus Taking unnecessary the greater Part of the customary appropriation to dredge out the fluviatile deposits), and low enough to allow the oveitiow of fi ei upon the low grounds on the Virgiata side, thus relleving South Washington from the danger of inunda- Uon. The height of freshet high water delag Well known, it is easy to regulate the height of the wall. In the flood of 1877, the river-rose above high tide level at Easby’s Polat, 14 feet; at h street wharf, 10 feet; at Long Bridge, 9 feet; and at Arsenal Polnt, s feet;4 Inches. Itis better the freshets should go over the Virginie flats and Gravelly Potnt, where they can do. no harm, than that they should inundate Penn- sylvania avenue, and their swift and foaming currents should dash through the dwellings of pee fellow citizens tn the southern part of the city. ‘The rock taken from Easby’s Point might be used to build the wa, in rip-rap style or other- wise. Il. The Tmprovement of Washington Harbor.— From Long Bridge to the channel at the mouth of the Anacostia, the harbor should be not less than 18 feet deep and 500 feet wide. That depth is necessary to accommodate vessels which can easily reach Washi n; and the width 1s little enough for the anchorage,whart- age and passing and repassing of the vessels, foreign and domestic, which, we may reason- ably expect, will, in course of time, seek the wharves of the capital of the North American continent. III, Sluicing Basins Above Long Bridge.—Such a harbor, washed by three foot Udes, protected by law from sewer discharges and earth and refuse deposits, and from time to time, as needed, would be neither filthy nor mala- rious. But, by way of precaution, it 1s proposed. to have above Long Bridge a series of sluicing basins extending from the Virginia channel to the head of the harbor at the east end of Long Bridge and openin by tide gates into both the channel and the ‘bor, At high tide the water is to be let in from the channel; at low sone te at pe ecbere ed Into: a wate In addition to fius! ‘or pi of purification, these connected lakes ‘would serve as overflows. in time of freshet. They might also be made Hey: ornamental. V. Filling up the Flata—The grade of these should be several feet above the level of the highest probable flood. Above Long Bridge all, except the reservoir basins, should be dry the mall being extended to the main channel. The dredgings from the channel, the harbor aLd tbe reservoirs, without the ‘earth from grading down Observatory hill, would give ma- Terlal enough, at short haul, for the necessary ae ae ere =~ could be = for on road depots, business houses, whart lines, par] &¢, It might be sold in lots. V. Filling up Marshes on the Virginia Plats.— ‘There are Constant sources of malaria: This plan is economical, giving to the U. S. land enough to retmburse by its sale all needed appropriations. It is practicable, for private capitalists are willing to de it in consideration of the grant to them of the made land. It frees the capital of the nation from the malarioug” intluence of the river marshes; it clashes with no legitimate interests of private parties; and it os the trade of both Georgetown an@ Washington, It is not to be expected that id agrec upon details. Let them be left to the engineer. But we can agree upon general outlines. If so, the adoption of the so by Congress will easily gained. We ave discussed the subject long enough; now is the time to act. a P. 3.—M.” insists (see STaR of 26th inst.) on peeking: me to discuss matters clearly trrele- vant. His exception to my general expression, “substantially true,” is trivial. But he owes to the public to oa away his astounding as- sertion that the Ellicott map of 1792 shows that “a channel starts out into the Potomac from the foot of 7th street and runs about tl bh the center of the present causeway, and inter- Si! ae Georgetown channel, below Mason’s I deny this flatly.
