The Crep Prospect.

A friend who has lately passed through the
northern portion Of our county reports that the
wheat, as a general thing, looks remarkably
fine. And from what we learn from other
parts of the county every thing is promising
fOra splendid crop -lDelawars GAG.
The season thus far promises well for sbund.
ant crops. The growing wheat, as far as we
learn, never looked better, and unless some
unforeseen disaster overiakes US, we shall have
it.-[ChamPaign Co. paper.
We haye reports from various quarters of
the effect Of the late fFosts upon the fruit and
other crops in neighboring localities, which
indicate that, in most places, something over
an average yield may be expected. In our
own county, there is good promise of an sbun-
dant supply. Apples, pears, plums and cher,
RIGS, will be plenty, and of peaches, though
injured TO a considerable extent, there will be
fair suPPly.-[Lebanon Warren co., Star.
The drOuth thing is drying
up-wells and cisterns have given Out-every-
body is becrming iscouraged-faEmers are
eoon their clops will fail. Wheat has already
gons pnder, and oats are fast following. The
corn that is up and that not been frost bitten
looks yellow and sickly; as though it had the
bilious fever. and was burning up for want Of
watsr.-[st. Louis News
During the past few days we have had beau
tiful spring weather, and it has brought out
4he fruit trees in full bloom of promise for 8
bountiful crop. ShOuld we have no severe
frosts, there can now be no doubt that the
yield Of the different kinds of fruit will be
equal to any former year.-[JacksOn Patriot.

- New YORK, March IA, H.-The Central
National Democratic Committee are consid-
ering the propriety of changing the place of
holding the National Convention to some
other point. The reason of this is owing
to the exhorbitant and outrageous prices
which have been fixed upon by Hotel keep
ers and other places of accommodation at
Charleston.
A large number of Senators and members
have called the attention of the Committee
to this matter, and are urging them to take
immediate action. The Committee believe
they have power to make this change, back
ed up by the Democracy of the different sec
tions. They will change the place of meet
ing to Baltimore.

Fare at CharIestoM.

1t is stated by the papers that the Charles
ton hotel keepers have resolved to charge
seVst dollars per day for board during the
session of the Democratic COnventiOn.-
There is something sharp in this operation,
besides the profit. 1t is n regular anti
Douglas movement. The Douglas delegates
are mostly needy adventurers, with but lit
tie spare cash. The Administration men
are generally fat and well-paid office-hold-
ers, who would like no better fun than to
stay at Charleston month, Giving high all
the tine,) if this should become necessary to
starve or fatigue the Douglasites into COM
pliance with their demand, and designs.
The plan will be this: Douglas will go to
Charleston with a majority of delegates
enough to re-adopt the two-thirds rule if ad-
mitted to their seats. But sufficient will be
kept out, on one pretence and another, to
give the organization to the Administration,
when the "game will be up." Ifthe Admins
tration is then strong enough to proceed at
once to nomination, and slaughter Douglas,
it VIII be done. If not, and Douglas is
strong enough to endanger his nomination,
then speaking against time" and filibus-
tering will commence, and be kept up till
the Douglas delegates get tired and starved
out, and will drop off home, one by one. In
| this way he will gradually lose mis- strength
and fail.
SO we advise all Douglas delegates to 60
to Charleston with pocket full of rocks. 3"
/
they will for another.
"Straws show which way the wind
blows" So this exhorbitant price for
board at Charleston, indicates an intention
to starve the Douglas men out.

The State Fair Grounds.

1t will be seen, by reading the letter of
our Indianapolis correspondent, that selec-
ton of piece of ground for State Fair pur-
poses has been made at indianapolis, which
does not seem to have been very judicious.
The ground is away out from the center of
business is difficult of access inconvenient;
and altogether unsuited if report speaks truly
to the purpose for which it is designed.
Since the selection was made by the
Committees spoken of by our correspondent,
public meeting has been held in Indiana
polls, and resolution, disappearing of the
choice, passed as an indication of public
sentiment for the gI1idance of the City
Council in their action upon it. But the
passage of the resolution had no efficacy in
inducing the Council To disapprove Of the
location. 1t stands good, subject, however /,
to the final acceptance oS the State Board of
Agriculture.
If the Fair should be located so far from
the city, it will suffer severely from the in
convenience. Indianapolis is the place for
the Fair, but Otiss Grove, two miles and a
half from the Union Depot, is not the prop
er location. The grounds should be much
nearer the centre of business. Our people
down here tried the experiment of locating
their Fair Grounds away off, an an out-of-
the-way- place. The Fair was a failure, un-
til grounds more conveniently situated were
obtained. Since that. the Fair has been a
success.
Indianapolis showed extraordinary liber
ality, which has made her famous far
and wide, when she connected all ler rail-
| roads by a union track, and erected a
common passenger citation for the aeoommo-
dation of the travelling public. She then
rendered the Interests Of few draymen and
hackdriVers snbscrVjent to the convenience
OF travellers VIII she do less now in the
location of State Fair Grounds perhaps for
| all time
| We desire to see the State Fair q triumph
and pecuniary sasccess; bnt if it is to be
located where peSfIe sill find it so difficult
to visit, it must suffer reverse. If the
| State Board understands the true interest oil
the Fair, they will require & relocation Of
the grounds offered them.

sensibIe and True.

A communication was published in the
Daily Enquirer of the 18th inst, signed
Amicus, " advocating an advance in the
compensation of the Mayor; justifying the
action of tha Council in raising the salary of
the City Attorney from 5000 to $500 per
annum; arguing very forcibly that the lat
ter officer ought to be elected by vote of the
people instead of by the Council-and also
that the City Physician ought to be allowed
a liberal compensation either in salary or
kes and elected by the people, instead of
the Office being given out by the Council to
regard to qualifications.
In closing his article, the writer has
something very sensible to say about the
City Printing. We copy his remarks under
idea who the gentleman is who wrote the
communication, but have not doubt that
he is whole-souled, public spirited indiVid-
uaI. We hope our citizens will ponder well
that which he says:
With respect to the city printing what
folly to let it by contract The regular pri-
ces of our publishers are scarcely above the
starvation mark, and the policy which seeks
to induce diIninution by creating an un-
necessary rivalry, is neither good nor honest.
Our public press should be here as it is in
other places, on index of our commercial
and general business prosperity. Every
newspaper which finds it's way out of Evans
vile is an advertisement of our city. Is it
just one? Let every citizen ask himself
the question. The niggardly policy of our
business men, which prompts them to refuse
to support the local press is reprehensible in
the very highest degree. The man who
does it is no friend of the city, and in the
littleness of his selfishness the poor fool
can't see that he is no friend to himself
The very smallness of his soul which with
holds few dollars from publisher is the
very reason why trade tends to other points
which he in vain sends out drummers to
sOIiciti Shall Evansville, in her govern
mental capacity, join this crusade to cripple
the press ? | hope not: but to avoid it the
present policy of letting the city printing
by contract must be abandoned. l have
said the regular prices advertised by our
publishers are low enough. There should
be no attempt to come below them. The
Council should adopt these prices as a stand
ard Tor some other schedule) and create the
Office of city printer to be elected by the
qualified voters of the city. Let that prin-
ter do all the work at the regular rates.
Then there would be no miserly under-bid-
ding. When the city sets this good exam
pie perhaps our merchants will become cor
respondingly liberal, and at no distant day
we may hope to see the public press of our
city become in reality true index of our
growth and greatness.
