Crops.
From information received from all
parts of the Cffjjpty, the prospects for a
good crop is r.ot promising. It is con**
ceded by tire planters, there will not be
on an average, more than half a yield
of wheat, and that badly injured with
the rust,. The corn crop is sorry and
has a yellow cast. Fall oats are most
ly destroyed by the rust. Springy oats
are proinisiug! Cotton is small and
overrun with grass. €%e rains have
been so heavy and continuous that
planteis could do but little with bottom
land, very liUje has been planted, much
m still under water.
lhe Democracy and tbe Consti
tutional Amendments. ,
Andrew Johnston has the most sen«
sible and practical views on this.(Sub
ject that we have yet seen in print.—
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial says, when interrogated as to
what he thought of the “Vollaudightun
Departure,” he replied;
‘‘l huvn’t read the entire platform,
but from what I hear of it, there are
some sensible points in it. But we
must not depart too much. So*to speak,
there is as much danger in getting too
far away as staying too near. There
are middle grounds which it is the best
policy to occupy. The troublo is that
some of our party want to accept too
much, and others don’t want to accept
.anything. It should not be the policy
of the Democracy to threaten to use
force against the Reconstruction Acts,
or against the recent amendments.—
There is a lawful and constitutional
remedy for every evil. Our party is a
party of peace, of law, of order. We
want no violent measures. In my opin
ion, the letter of Frank Blair to Broad**
head at the eve of the last Presidential
campaign did a great deal of harm.—
Why? Because it was so written its to
be construed into a threat that in case
the Democracy came to power they
woulcluse force against the Reconstruc
tion Acts. Now, we should not threat
en force, nor anything like it.
There is a peaceable remedy, and
that remedy is in convincing the people
that the two amendments to the constU
tution and the Reconstruction Acts are
wrong. It is within the province of the
people to alter these things if they will*
The true policy is to accept all these
things as accomplished facts, but at the
same time leave ourselves free to here
after urge their abrogation at the bar of
reason and justice. I have always had
great faith in the good sense and intel
ligence of the American people. We
must appeal to them to remedy these
evils, but to do it in a lawful way.—
Another amendment can be adopted
that will do away with the evils of the
last two, I have no faith in a remedy
through the courts. It must be done
-r
at the bar of the people.' Therefore 1
look for a remedy in the future, and I
am not going to say, and no other Dem
ocrat should sav, that he accepts the
Reconstruction measures and amend
ments as finalities, and that no attempt
will be made in the future to get lid of
them in a lawful and peaceable manner.
We should not commit ourselves to any
such absurd doctrine. We should bold
ly proclaim that we accept these amend
merits and acts as the law of the land
now, but that we will hereafter use
every honorable means to convince the
people that they should be abrogated
and repealed. If the people will not do
it, then of course it cannot be done.—
But for us to say that we will forever
close our lips against these iniquities is
(I—<l nonsense-’

Mt
Illinois has strange ways, even of
committing suicide. In Warrerißburg,
recently, Mrs, Alice Day discovered her
, husband had another wife, and shot
herself dead. The husband, who was
in prison for bigamy at the time, when
he heafd of the self-murder -of on© of
his consorts, was so overcome by sor
row and remorse, that, having nothing
else within reach, he swallowed a box
of hooks and eyes, a bottle of hair-dye,
a brass breastpin, several pieces of glass,
six vest buttons, and a small pen-knife.
“These miscellaneous articles did not
prove fatal, but at last accounts Day
complained of indigestion.
Miss Phelps says there is no use
quarreling with a woman, the press, a
railioad company, or the telegiaph.—
That gaPa liead is level.
Cetyl E to Life.— *-The Winnsboro (8, C.)
News has been ifffornnd (tut Henry
Houston, who was hung at that place
on Friday fer murder-has come to life.
When his body reached the house of
his family near Ridgeway they opened
the ooifiq to take a c fare-well look at the
(supposed) corpse, and thought sign.*
of life were visible. They took * the
corpse out pf the coffin and laid it on a
bed, and after a time it began to speak.
The Louisville Courier-Journal says:
‘‘The policy qF the Republicans is based
upon the passions of the war. All that
they do takes this origin. The war is
at once their inspiration apd their pre
text. Incave it out and nothiug remains
of their statesmanship, their civil econ
omy, and particularly their oratory. —
Reuce the political situation to a plain
and matteisof**fact discussion of factg
and measures on their merits, and the
Republican fabric, puffed up with projuy
dide and decorated with flimsy designs,
would collapse at once.”
Governer Caldwell, the Radical Exe
cutive of North Carolina, is not above
learning a lesson. He recently publish
ed a card ip the Raleigh Telegram, in
which he denounced Mr. Joseph Turner,
the editor of the Sentinel, as a liar, and
used other language calculated to har-
row up the feelings of the latter gentle
man. Mr. Turner at once demanded
satisfaction, and went to South Caroli
na, accompanied: by ex- Governor
Vance and other friends, to await the
appearance of the challenged official.—
The action caused a decided change in
the Governor’s views regarding Mr.
Turner’s character for truth and veraci
ty, as lie hastened to repair his fault‘by
giving to the public another card, in
which he apologized for using the in>
suiting expressions contained in the first
one. It is pleasant to see men frankly
acknowledge their errors when they
are.convinced ol them.
Crop Prospects in Mississippi.— Thus
far the present season has been the
most unfavorable \ve have ever known
for cotton. In consequence of the late
spring and excessive rains,-it is at least
three weeks behind the average growth.
Many planters have been compelled to
replant their crops, and have barely
secu r ed stands. .An aveaage yield
cannot be even if the balance
of the season be favorable. The late
growth will inevitably cause a heavy
loss by frost. It is not possible for a
considerable part oi crops just planted
to mature iu time to .escape destruction
in that way. In regard to the acreage
devoted to cotton, our inquiries have
induced the diminution as compared
with last year, is about one fourth.
The increase of the corn crop is
about in proportion to the decrease of
cotton; ,and we are gratified report
that the prospect of tilt) former is quite
encouraging as far as our information
extends. Planters have learned a useful
lesson from the low price of cotton and
the failure of the cortn supply the last
season —Jackson Clarion .
