EXCELLENT HIT-l,ev. j. III. Smith,
of Philadelphia, said in a recent sermon,
abiding to reproaches directed against
I-incoln-"A President at Il theaier is
better than Copperhead in a church. y
Some Of our plymouth church gocrs may
be able to see the point.-Rcp.
Rev. Mr.. Chaplin, the Presby terrain
Minister here, an ardent republican in
politics, on the occasion Of the announce
mcnt Of the assassination of Mr. Lincoln
in sermon at his church took occasion
to speak quite reprehensibly of Tie prac-
tice of theatre going. The burthcn of
his grief seemed to consist principally in
the fact that Mr.. Lincoln had cone to
his death in so profanc place, and he
said''we could bear it better had he been
killed in any other place. or words of SIM
liar import Why the Republican should
at this late day pitch into Mr.. c. for his
course on that solemn occasion VIC cannot
divine. The editor evidently thinks that
Mr. C.'s sermon { , would have been more
appropriate and Christlikc had it been fill
ed with denunciations of copperheads IN
forming them at the same time that they
had no business in church.
But why was it improper fer Mr.. Lin
coin 10 attend the theatre? If 80 at all.
It must have been On account Of the asso-
Citations found there. Yet it is said "a
president in a theatre is better than a
comprehend in a Church" If by "cops
perhead," is meant democrat, and by
"Church" a politico-religiOus society of
abolition fanatics who are possessed with
the idea that they are ''laboring in the
cause Of God and humanity whose efforts
are all based on the great moral-idea' o.
negro-eq equality; then We think the assocla-
tons arc such that any respectable demo
crat ought to lie as much ashamed of him
self for being found in such company, as
Mr.. Lincoln should have been, (accordin2
to Mr.. Chapin's logic for being in i
theatre, though we hope their end may
be less tragical, and We advise democrat.
for their regulations sake to keep away
from such contaninating influences.

Gen. Sherman ana Gen. Cox.

The republicans are claiming Gen
Sherman as supporter Of Cox, the rcpub-
lican candidate for Governor of Ohio
This story was first started by the lying
correspondent of the New York Tribune
who in a dispatch from Columbus, Ohio,
stated that ''Gcn. Sherman heartily in
dorsed Cen Cox" The extent and char
acter Of The Endorsement however the
republicans studiously refrain from sta
ting The truth is that Gen. Sherman
Endorsed Gen Cox as Generai, and did
not indorse him as pofiticon. lie spoke
of the military career Of Gen. Cox and as
a brother officer he did indorse him hear
thy, but clreiully abstained from all allu,
sions to his political course. If this af-
fords our republican friends cause for re-
joicins we have no objections. Indeed,
we think ourselves that Gen. Cox was
pasasbly good officer but despicable
politician. The republicans ought to feel
ashamed TO claim Gen Sherman as one OF
themselves after abusing him in the
shameful manner they have heretofore
done.

has been injured some by the fly, but the
prospects are that the crop will exceed
last years by one-fourth. Corn was de-

are that the crop will be onc-half greater

Geo. w. Potter writes, July DIST, that
the amount of land sown with wheat will
exceed by one-third the amount sown last
year, but the crop will be but half as large
on account Of the rust and nudge. Corn
suffered some from the rains, but will
yield an excess over last years crop Of
perhaps one-half. Oats will yield nearly
twice as large crop as last years There
will be a large crop of potatoes.

THE CROPS IN IOWA

Accounts from various localities in Iowa
represent the wheat as much better than
last year. The corn never was better, and
unless injured 10y frost it will probably
yield double crop. Oats were not so
extensively sown, but the crop will far ex-
cced that of last year. Barley and rye
were sown to about the same extent as in
GA; the yield will probably be greater.

Emanuel Nugent writes, July DIST, that
the wheat has suffered severely fiom the
effects of the recent rains, which have
brought on the rust. The prospects are
that the crop will be but half as large as
last year. About onethird more corn was
planted, and the crop promises an average
yield. Oats look well, and the crop will
exceed last wears BY one.third.

College Land Scrip.

We desire to call the attention Of all
who contemplate the purchase Of gov
ernment lands, to the fact that the Pub
lie L nd Scrip granted to the State Of
Ohio, for the endowment Of agricultur.
al colleges, is nov 10 the market, aud
can be purchased, per acre, at a less rate
perhaps than the price wbish they
would be required to pay if payment
were made at any one Of the public
land offices. With this scrip, the hold
err can locate any public lands, except
mineral, now open or hereafter to be
opened for entry. There are in Ohio,
undoubtedly, thousands who have de-
termined to purchase public lands this
fall. To all such we would say, that by
purchasing this College Land Scrip,
they will accomplish two desirable OBJ
jects while insuring the main one of Sc
curing portion of the public domain
viz: they will benefit themselves by q
saving in the purchase money, and
they will be assisting to secure the
prompt sale Of the scrip, and couse-
quently earlier accomplishment of the
desirable object for which the lands
were donated to the government More
over it is safer, while prospecting" for
q location in the West, to have the scrip
in ones pocket than the greonbacks.
Take our advice, and before starting

What they are Saying in the South.
They are talking a good deal about
reconstruction n"--yet not nearly so
much as might be thought. There are
no hot discussions, except in Virginia,
where the question whether men promi-
nent on the rebel side in the late war
ought to be elected to Congress, is ex
citing some dispute. In Alabama one
or two newspapers advocated the as
sumption and recognition by the State
Convention of the rebel State debt; in
North Carolina the same question has
been discussed. Here and there VIC
fnd a Southern writer laundering away
with all the fiery and wordy vehemenct
Of former days against Northern ia
uatics;" but that style seems to have
gone out to large extent in the South
on which fact we congratulate IT,
Southern press aud its readers: o
course, the negro receives editorial at
tention-but less than might bo ex
pected.
The best end most thoughtful jour
malls in the Southern States are now 90
cupied chiefly with schemes for the re
establishment of industry, the improve
ment of agriculture, the organization
of manufactures, and the increase 0
population and of educational facilitie
