THE WHEAT CRoP--The accounts from the
country are Of a very gloomy character. A gen
tleman who has travelled through much of the
State, recently, gives it as his opinion that not
half an average crop can be gathered this year.
In many sections the plant came up badly or
was badly winter-killed; and many fields that
promised well six weeks ago, will not yield the
seed that was sown, in consequence Of the rava-
ges Of the fly or joint-worm, or both Only the
very early sown and heavily guanoed fields can
possibly yield fair crop. And those, within
the last week or two, appear to be seriously
threatened with the rust.
correspondent expresses his opinion, that
81, so o. even 90 would not remuneratc the
farmers the present season.
This is very bad news-for, with very sorry
tobacco crop, and the lowest prices for fifteen
years, good yield Of wheat was very essential
to the welfare Of the farmers, and consequently
to the whole community. What makes the mat
ter worse is that there il every prospect that the
article will command such a price a. would, with
an average crop, ditfuse plenty and prosperity
throughout the Commonwealth The Mark Lane
Express, the highest authority in the world, ad.
mits that there are no stocks any where, and
that the growing crops in Europe are for from
promising. In addition to the lack of stocks
and the prospects, there are signs of serious
trouble in Europe, which will not tend to depresl
the price Of breadstufs.-fR Richmond Wing, eth

The two-thrd rule in Democratic National Con-
ventions for the nomination of candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice-President, was adopted at Baltimore,
in 1882. when ANDREW JACKSON was renOminated for
President. and MARTIN VAN buren, designated
Vice President That was the first Democratic Ma
tional Convention ever held The Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature of New Hampshire made the
suggestion that led to the Convention. Their argu-
eat was 20 let the Districts and States that did not
have Democrats members of Congress, but still had
a Hrge Democratic popular vote, have voice in
the selection of candidates. Under the old system
of Congressional cauCuses, they were excluded.
We now hear par;Isans dccaim against the very
idea that led to the organization Of National Con
yenti7us
The two-third rule was reported IN 1882, from a
committee of which the late Vcc-Prcsident KING.
of Alabama. was Chairman. An attempt was made
to substitute the majority principle but it was voted
down. In 1885. the second National Convention
was held in Baltimore. The two-thirds rule was
adopted after a long discussion The majority prin
ciple at first carried but was finally stricken out
In $50 no action was taken the two-thirds rule,
Mt the third National Convention, Mr.. NANBUREN
was rencminated Ior President by reclamation In
1874 at the fourth National Convention. the two
thirds rule was adopted by close vote after long
discussion. At the National Conventions since held
it has been adopted without opposition.

The DemOcractte Convention in Georgia.
Our readers viii remember that the Democracy
Of Georgia held a State Convention in December
last at which they appomted delegates to the
Charleston Convention, and recommended Governor
CoHB their favorite for the nomination as the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency. Some
dissatisfaction having arisen about the call Of the
December Convention, that which has Just adjourned
was called by the Executive Committee Of the State.
From the telegraphic accounts we learn that the
last Convention declined to make any recommends
tionof acandidate for President
The delegates to Charleston appointed by the De-
cember- Convention were all reappointed with the
exception Of two from district entirely unrepre-
scented in the December Convention; ard, as a con
cesson to those who were dissatisfied with the call
and action Of that Convention an additional number
Of delegates have been added to the delegation. The
delegates appointed originally were understood to
be friendly to the nomination Of Gov. COBB, and a
majority Of those now added are known to be his
I friends.
The action Of the present Convention will raise a
new question for the decision Of the National Con
vention, if all the delegates should apply to be adj
mitted The number Of delegates to which each
State is entitled Is fixed by positive Tule Of our
National Conventions, and the additional delegates
now appointed can only be received by waving
that rule. or else by regarding them alternates
to fl such vacancies as may occur in the regular
| delegation.
