TROUBLE ABOUT THE MONUMENT IN WAsHlso-
ToN--Too LONG FOR THIS WEATHEr.--Our read
ers are aware that there has been some difficult
ty in the affairs Of the Washington Monument
Association caused by an attack made bJ the old
fogy Board Of Managers on the present Young
America Know Nothing government, which
originated a. the February election. Charges
emanasing from the old Board and directed
against the present officers, have been publish
ed in the National MteHigencer. That jour
nal refuses to publish the official reply to the
attack, and it is therefore resolved, in meeting
OF the Association, to request the NEW YORK
HERALD to publish the document. We must
decline, for several reasons First, the d5cu-
ment is not an original one, 1t having Appeared
in Washington paper six weeks since; second,
it is too Iong-it would Gil three or four
columns OF the HERALD; third, the whole affair
is of no very great consequence to tie general
public; and fourth, II should be Published in the
paper where the original statements were made.
II we were In the position Of the Inteiligencer
we should publish it cheerfully, as dlsy. Al
the same time, we may cay TIA: the answer Of
the present Board seems conclusive, and entire-
~ exonerates those officers from blame II me
premises.

THE CRops AND THE RAINs.-We learn that
it is only on low lands where wheat has been in
the least injured by The late rains, and that on
high ground, where nothing hinders the free
circulation Of the wind, the grain has not bsen
injured. 1t is also the general opinion among
farmers that, making all possible allowance for
the damage to the wheat crop, the rains Of the
last fortnight have done more good than harm
by the extraordinary growth which they have
excited in corn and potatoes.

THE EXTRA SESSION PROJECT AeAlS-MoRp
RuMoRs.-The Albany Express declares that
rumor has asserted with positiveness, for a few
days past in that city, that the proec. Of an
ex,Ia session Of the Legislature has been re.
vived; and supposes that the object is 10 patch
up TIE new Liquor law for Buncombe IL our
November election. Governor Clark has asked
for the opinion of Attorney General Hoffman
on the constitutionallty of the law, and the
presumption is that plausible excuse Is thus
sought for either to stop the leakages Of the
statoot,' CT to pull wool over the eyes Of the
State Temperance Alliance, in an extra session
Of the Legislature. Well, the summer is pass
ing away ard If we are to be blest with an
extra session, the sooner we have the Cover
nor's proclamation the better. The law must
be patched or repealed; for as IL stands it is a
public nuisance. Let The Governor call upon
Thnrlow Weed without further loss II time.
The temperance people are becoming dsgus.ed,
and something must be d0ae.
