Mr.. Buchanan on the War of 1912.

The Washington Union publishes the fol-
lowing letter heretofore unpublished from
Mr.. Buchanan to the Hon. Geo W. Jones,
Of Tennessee, ELECTED by a call on him from
that gentleman for information on that sub
iect, which cffcctually sets at rest the accu-
sation against Mr.. T., on account of his al
legged opposition to the last wsr:
WAsnISGToS, April 90, lSi7.
Ny DEAR SIR: have this moment re.
ceiyed your letter of the 10Th inst, and has
ter. to return an answer.
In one respect have been fortunate as a
public man. Ny political enemies are obliged
10 90 back moro than thirty years 70 nud
plausible charges against me
In 1914, when very young man, (blng
this day firty-six years of age,) ] made my
first public speech before a meeting of ny
f.llow-citizcns OF Lancaster. The object oil
this speech was to urge upon them the duty
of volunteering their services IN defence oil
their invaded country. \ volunteer cOmpa-
ny was raised upon the spot, in which was
the fist, ! believe, to enter my name as a
private.-We forthwith proceeded TO Balu-
more. and served until we were honorably
discharged.
IT. Oct, 1914, was elected member OF
the PENNSYLVANIA Legislature and in that
body gave my support TO every measure cal
culated, in my opinion, to all the country
againt the common enemy.
In 1915, after peace had been concluded,
did express opinions in relation to the cause
and conduct Of tie war, which very soon
afterwards regretted and recalled. Since
that period have been ten years member
Of the House Of Representatives, and an
equal time in the Senate, acting part on
every great question. My political enemies
finding nothing assailable throughout this
long public career, now resort back to my
youthful years for expressions to injure my
political character. The brave and generous
citizens Of Tennessee, to whatever political
party they may belong, will agree that this
is a hard measure Of justice and it is still
harder that, for this reason, they should con
denim the President, for having voluntarily
offered me a seat in his cabinet
never deemed it proper, at any period oil
my life, whilst the country was actually en-
gagged IN a foreign war with foreign enemy
to utter a sentiment which could interfere
with its successful prosecution. Whilst :ht
war with Great Britain was raging, | should
haze deemed it little better than moral
treason to paralyze the arm of the Govern
ment whilst dealing blows against the enc
my. After peace was concluded, the case
was then different My enemies cannot
point to an expression uttered by me, during
the continuance of the war, which was not
favorable to its vigorous prosecution.
From YOUR friend, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.

state of the Crops.

We copy the following resume Of the
newspaper reports in reference to the crops.
from the Chicago Press:
The first wheat cut this season was in
Georgia, something more than week ago,
and the harvest OF this cereal IN that State
ia now well advanced, if not entirely finish.
cd =.
The farmers of Sangamon county in this
State are preparing to cut their wheat, and
many fields, saws the State journal, will DC
entered during the present week. The crop
in that region will be fair average one
We have not heard directly from Egypt,
but presume the harvest has commenced
there also, as the crop there must be more
fully matured than it is through the centre
Of the State.
OF the state of the wheat crop through
out the country we gather the following IN
telliscnce from various sources.
An experienced farmer who has recently
travelled through the Military Tract in this
State, says the fields of winter wheat look
| finely, and promise an abundant yield. Such
is generally the case throughout &c State,
though it is backward in some sections,
| through the influence of cold weather and
tie drought.
| We hear very encouraging account OF
! tlc CTOp Ill Ao"op aaA eoS A@A' r. o->'''>S ~
be abundant.
| Our Wisconsin exchanges and gentlemen
| from that State with whom We conversed,
concur in stating that the wheat fields never
| 10 ,ked better, and it is the general opinion
I that the yield, acre per acre, Will be quite
equal to what it was last year.
In Northern Indiana the wheat looks
splcndidly, and we hear good accounts OF 1t
| from other sections in that State.
! In Michigan, wherever the snow lay I'M
disturbed by the winds during the winter,
the wheat was never better or more prom
ising than it now is; but where the ground
was exposed, and the snow swept away, the
crop is almost entirely destroyed 1t is es-
tmated that the destruction embraces about
one-third of the breadth sown.
In Ohio the crop promises splendidly, and
the Buckeyes will soon be in the midst of the
harvest.
In the wheat growing regions Of \. York
the crop is reported to be in good condition,
though rather backward.
In New Jersew the wheat has suffered Sc
verely from drought on low lands, but on
high lands it promises well.
The crop has suffered severely from drouth
in some portions of Maryland.
In Virginia it has suffered still more Sc
vcrely from this cause, and also fIom the
ravages Of insects.
Corn in our State is generally backward,
from the effects of cold and drouth, and such
is generally the case throughout the country
In differen, portions of Northern Ohio
many farmers have been compelled to plant
a second and in some cases even a TIN d time,
on account Of the failure Of the seed, and in
the vicinity of Erie the pigeons have com
mitted great depredations by pluckins az
the plants The seed has also failed in 9th
er portions of the State.
Fruit promises to be abundant in New
York, and New Jersey is likely to have &
good crop of peaches. Apples are abundan
in Ohio, but the peaches were generally GU
off there by the frost, as they were through
on, almost every other portion of the West

su.d bv the seceders from the National Hin
doc convention in Philadelphia that noni-
mated Fillmore The object Of the conven-
ton was to nominate n " candidate for

should also be good abolitionist. After the
convention had met and organized, COM
munica,ion was received from the National
fusion committee, inviting the convention to
make no nominations. but to join the grand
fusion convention a, Philadelphia. A motion
was made to accept this invitation, with this
modification that this convention would re-
commend candidates, to be subject to the
final ratification Of the Philadelphia convcn-
sion- The motion created a stormy debate
that lasted a day and a half, but was finally
.dopt.d. whereupon about third Of the
delegates. being the Stockton men, headed
hv New Jersey, withdrew in disgust The
remaining members proceeded to ballot fol
som. good Eindoos to be recommended tC
the fusionists for ratification as Presidential
candidates. \ close run, through some Ter
.b,l,o,s was had between Banks and Ere
mont. when finally Banks got the majority
and was declared nominated. Gov. johnson
ofPa. was then nominated for the Vice Ere
sideney, whereupon, after adopting Hun
doc Abolition platform, the convention ao
journed.

CALIroRNIA.-The San Francisco papers
by the latest steamer from California, give
accounts of terrific excitement in that city,
growing out of the shooting of James King,
editor Of the Erening Bulletin, by James +.
Casey, editor of the Sunday Times. both
San Francisco papers. The parties met in
the street, when Casey, without any previ-
GUS intimation of his intention. drew re.
volver and shot King, infiicting wound OF
which he died the next day. Casey was ap-
pretended, and lodged in jail but the San
Francisco Vigilance Committee, to the num-
Der of $500 well drilled and armed men,
took him from the keeping of the sheriff, to-
eether with Cora, the murderer of Richard
son, Ia month or two ago. and at latest &C
counts had them in charge, intending to try
them by lynch court, and would doubtless
hang both of them. There appears to have
been no considerable immediate provocation
for the assault on the part Of Casey upon
King.
