The Corn Crop.

The following from the Cincinnati
Commercial, may be useful TO farm
crs: .Hr .-..r
The late and frequent rains have
prevented most of the farmers in
Southern Ohio putting in their corn
crop; and they think the season now
too far advanced to make it advisable
TO plant the usual breadth, fearing it
will not nature Those who planted
before or between the rains find that
the seed has rotted in the ground, and
are plowing up and preparing to SOW
other crops. We have a suggestion
that may be worth something in such
a dilemma. Procure seed corn from
Northern Ohio or Western New York,
either the white or Canada flint, or
yellow dent. Though these varieties
DO not yield so prolific as those usual
ly planted here, they mature earlier,
and what they lack in quantity, will
be measurably compensated in quality.
A farmer can safely plant the whit6
or Cenada flint as late as the 10th or
18th of June, and be tolerably certain
it will fipen before the first fall frosts.
1t may bo worthy ofremark, that how.
ever unfavorable the first Of the season
it is very rare, indeed, that a good
Providence does not provide the har.
vest time. A late spring is usually
followed by q forward and growing
summer, and late and favorable fall:
Still, it is well to provide for contin.
gencies, and he who follows the sugi
gestion of this article, can feel tolera-
bly secure. '.f.. -,H

The Tr.ol of the Assass ins.

Tho trial of those engaged in the
assassination Conspiracy is progress
ing ct Washington. The charge and
specifications will be found on our first
page. Tho evidence against Payne,
OLaughlin, and Atzcroth is over
whclming, There is considerable ev-
idcnce duplicating jeff. Davis and the
rebel leaders, and showing that the
assassination was frequently talked of
in Richmond and in tho rebel camps
more than a year ago. A letter, cap
tured among tho rebel archives, has
been introduced. 1t is from rebel
Lieutenant to Davis, proposing to rid
tho country of its worst enemies, and
claiming facilities for moving about in
the North without detection. The
robel says that ho considers nothing
dishonorable which tends to tho ac'
compIishmcnt of the object, viz to rid
the country of tho heads OF the Gov
ernmcnt. jeff. Davis directed tho let
ter to be referred to his Secretary Of
War.
Objection has been raised to trying
tho conspirators by military Court
The Government did not take this steI
hastily, but after full consideration O
the law and tho crime. 1t was a plot
TO murder tho commandor.in chief o
tho army and navy, together with tho
Secretary of War, and tho Lieutenant
General in command Of tho army, with
several others, within military lines
and Notifications, and in time Of actu-
nj war.

Jsn. Davl. and Party at Port Royal.

Tho Times Port Royal special de-
scribes tho arrival of Davis and party
at that point. AS he approached the
boat he saw tall, spare man, dressed
in gray, having gaunt and depressed
look, his whiskors and moustache rath.
or close cut, and almost white, lie
was walking along the space between
the deck cabin and the bllwarks. He
stopped to carcss little girl very IN
differently dressed, and then passed in
at the gangway door, These were
Jefferson Davis and his daughter.
lie has evidently passed through a
great deal of mental trouble during
the last four years, A few minutes
later he seated himself in corner oI
the cabin, his wifo, u plain looking
lady, dressed in black, by his sidc.-
The two were engaged in purusing the
papers which had been brought them
His hat was drawn down pretty wei
over his eyes, so that only when HI
lifted his face could much expression
be noticed. No one wished to be in
troducod to him.
Two of his children, boy and girl
looking to be about six or seven year
of age, respectively, were about every
where on the steamer. Davis, Steph
ems, Regan and others seemed to hav
no proper appreciation of the position
in which they were standing. Davi
himself asserted that he has no ide
that anything beyond banishmont vii
be his lot. Stephens thought the pro
per way to start the civil Governmen
again would be to institute measure
for the repeal of the ordinance of SC
cession, and by that means restore ou
original relations. Regan though
there would be no difficulty in bring
ing about good feeling, provide
disfranchisement and coniscation ar
not carried too far. No one eXpecte
slavery to be saved, or the assumptio
of tho rebel debt, but thought that tn
rebels who had held official position
must not be deprived of their votes Q

PREaIDEST LINCOLN ABROAD.

A letter writer from Paris gives an
account of tho demonstration of the
students of the Latin Quarter, at the
American Minister'S, They were sew
eral times dispersed by tho police, but
numbers Of them slipped around, and
arrived at Mr. Bigelow's residence,
where they read two addresses Zone
from the medical and one from the law
students) Of sympathy at the assassi-
nation. Speeches were also made, and
after u tremendous cheer of "Long
live the great American Republic !"
tho students retired.
The writer says that the French pa
pcrs are filled with the subject OF the
assassination, and that they are never
tired of dwelling upon the noble char
acter of the murdered Pr esident Also
that mo man Of the present century
has had such universal honor paid 10
him in Europe, for, without exception,
every one of the great Courts, have Off
cially noticed his death, and that, too,
with a length and profusion Of culogy
which is quite unusual to them"
A paper at Nantes appeared in
mourning when it published the news
of the assassination, and proposed a
subscription TO procure gold medal
for presentation TO Mrs. Lincoln, bear
ing tho following Inscription:
"Libcrty, equality, fraternity. To
Lincoln, twice elected President of the
United States. French Democracy
grateful to Lincoln, the honest man
who abolished slavery, re.established
the Union and saved the Republic
without breaking tho statue Of Liberty
Ho was assassinated on tho l4th Of
April, 1865"
The municipality of Palermo have
determined TO namo one of tho streets
of. that city after President Lincoln
and Queen Victoria has written letter
of coincidence to Mrs. Lincoln with hci
own hand.
Thus til, great and good are hon

Gov. Brough ana the soldiers.

AS the time, for holding the State
Convention approaches the soldiers
are meeting at different points through
out the South, and choosing delegates
to represent the army. Many Of them
express their confidence in Governor
Brough. His re nomination will be
opposed by many disappointed officers
and by many of the Hundred Days
Men, and. stoutly urged by numbers
of soldiers and citizens.
At "a meeting of the Il1th Regiment
%. v. l., held near Raleigh, N. G.,
the following Resolutions wero adopt
cd:
"Thc following resolutions were then
offered and read: ....
ReSolced, That, we, as soldiers, have
unbounded confidence in the patriot
ism, fidelity and ability of Governor
.Brough, believing that he has been
true to our interests, and the Dest In
terests of thgservico.
ReSolved, That these resolutions and
the proceedings of this meeting be
|pd lished in the newspapers of North

On motion The above resolutions
were unanipk usly and enthusiastically
adopted as expressive of the sonti.

The creation OF national debts is not
a modern improvement, but the ability
Of great nation to provide fora great
debt, and to mako it the most convent
ent and best form of personal property
is modern wonder. The debt of
Great Britain was begun by raising a
million sterling by loan in 1892, and
when her great contest with Louis
XIV. was terminated, tho debt had
reached fifty millions. Many stotes-
men and economists wero then alarm
ed at the great burden which had
been imposed upon the industry of
the country, but when the war of the
Austrian succession had swclled this
amount TO eighty millions, Macaulay
says that historians and orators pro.
nounced tho case TO be desperate
But when war again broke out, and
tho national debt was rapidly carried
up to ono hundred and forty millions,
men of theory and business both pro.
nounccd that the fatal day had Ger.
tainly arrived. David Hume said
that, although, by taxing its energies
to tho utmost, the country might pos
sibly live through it, the experiment
must never be repeated, even small
increase might be fatal. Granville
said the nation must sink under il un-
less some portion ofthe load was borne
by the American Colonies, and the at.
tempt to impose this load produced
the war of the revolution, and, instead
of diminishing, added another hundred
millions to the burden. Again, says
Macaulay, was England given over,
but again she was moro prosperous
than ever before. But when at the
close of her Napoleonic wars in 1916
this debt had been swellcd up to the
enormous sum of over eight hundred
millions sterling, or four thousand
three hundred million dollars, or near
Iy one half the entire property of the
United Kingdom, the stoutost heart
the flrmest believer in national prog.
rcss and national development, might
well have been appalled,, But in the
very face of this mountain of obliga.
tion,-- say nothing OF her vast colo.
rial posscssions,--thc property Of
the British nation has been more than
trcbled, and her dobt is now n charge
of but 123 per cent, against it, All
that Great Britain has done in paying
her debt, we shall do, and moro, with
ours. We have vast territories un.
touched by the plow, mines of all
precious metals of which wc have
hardly opened the doors, population
full of life, energy, enterprise and in,
dustry, and the accumulated wealth
of money and labor of tho old coun,
tries pouring into the lap of our giant
and ever-to. be.unitcd republic, Du
ring the fierccst and most eXhausting
of all possible wars, we have demons
trated our national strcngth-and al
the world over, national strength Is
but another name for national credit
) "As good as United Stocks" will soor
be Synonymous the world over will
"as good rs British Consols," Fol
our part, wo think u U. S. Treasury
note, bearing seven and three tenth
annual interest, is just as much bettel
than British Consols as the rate of in
tcrest is higher. Some of our tmiC
brethren, who shipped their gold tt
London and invest in consols, are nov
glad TO sell out and invest at home at
round loss, and serves tlrem right.
