The Crops ON the Roanoke.

A friend writes US as follows il relation to
the crops in the Roanoke country:
{" As the people are always anxious spe-
cially in the fall season, to hear fror the
crops. will give you some informati on as
to the crops in Halifax and Northap ,pton
Counties.
Well, we have the poorest prospec for
crop have ever seen in this part of the
State. l hsve recently seen the b, st corn
growing region of Northampton G. ,unty-
the 'Ocaneeche Neck and assu you it
is almost blight. There are, nppose,
in the Neck" about ten thousand acres of
the finest land ever sawin cultiva- ion, and
1 don't think it will average as much per
acre as common upland ordinar lily does.
Much of the cotton is almost wort aless. In
this County, Halifax, there is n o hope of
half as much corn as was made last /; yeaI. and
not more than half as much cot ton. The
crops are suffering intensely Fl " rain
The young bolls of cotton are ia ding off by
thousands, for want of rain and Fl ON the hot
parching weather"

We stated recently that the iPhiladelphia
Convention had substantially endorsed the
test oath. The Salisbury Banner takes ex-
ception to this, and argues that as Gov Ora
ham wrote an argument against this oath in
1865, and as he was a member of the COM
mittee on resolutions, it cannot be possible
that what we say is so. What, then, did the
Convention mean when it declared that
"bya~ representatives from the Southern
States should be admittedg What did
President johnson mean when he said the
members elect from the South should be per-
sons who could comply with any existing
constitutional or legal test ?" And what did
Mr.. Seward mean when he said in his Tam
many letter, written about this very Conyen-
ton, that all constitutional tests for admission
to Congress, with all the improvements up
on them by legislation" should be main
tained9 Will the Banner answer these ques-
tiona The Banner gets excited, and makes
itself-we were about to say ridiculous-by
"cuSiuS 10 ouu CniliiiS US udiuCo- oDuoO anu
hard names amount to nothing. They are
always resorted to by writers and speakers
who fear they cannot sustain themselves by
argument. Let the Banner keep its temper.
If it knew how little we cared for its exhibi-
tions of i'll feeling towards us, it might cease
to make them. We beg the Editor to keep
cool. Let him advance an argument now
and then, and it may be We will find space
to answer him.
So far as Gov. Graham is concerned, he
was not free agent at Philadelphia. His.
property and his life were in the hands Of
the President He is liable at any moment
to be arrested and sent to Fortress Monroe
or Fort Delaware. He could not, therefore
have afforded to act independently at Phil
adelphia, even if he had desired to do so. If
he had risen in his place and repeated his
argument of last year against the test oath,
he would not only have incurred Executive,
displeasure, but he would probably, like
Vallandigham, have been excluded from the.
Convention.

While crossing Canal street row occurred.
There were many spectators on the streets,

to have been by policeman, or some col

TO cNPcI Hon. j. W. kca weinnnhnin.
MnT 1 4 TN.

Hon. J. W. Keawehunahaa gave notice of his
intention to introduce a bill to enable rich persons
to establish houses of prostitution.
Considerable confusion here took place. in the
midst of which the President then stated to the
member from Waialua that he was out of order.
and that the notice was an insult to this Assembly
and requested him to withdraw it.
Minister Harris moved that as the manner Of in
Producing the notice was an insult to this Assembly
that the member of Waialua be expelled. Minister
Hutchinson said q person who would give notice of
such intention was not fit to sit in the house.
Minister Harris said the member had ied-tha
he gave notice that he wanted TO Introduce a reso-
luton and when given permission he had insulted
the house with his notice of intention. &c. and
wished the House to understand that the member
did not give notice Of intention to license houses
of prostitution. such q bill would not come with
bad grace from this member.
Hon. J. ". Kcawehunahala was given permission
to speak on the motion and stated that he had no
intention of insulting the House. that it was the
custom to give notice of intention of introducing
q bill.
The Vice President ordered that Hon. J. W. Kea-
wehunahala leave the House while the vote was
taken.
Hon. J. \. y. Nahaku moved that the Represen-
tatives alone vote on the expulsion. The Vice
President decided that the whole Assembly should
vote.
Minister Harris made a speech upon the duty
Of the Assembly to eXpel i person who would
