The Crops In CANADA.

The Montreal Gazette publishes the crop
returns. 1t occupies over s,x columns Of
that paper. The following is = summary:
"Thc districts report ID from comprise
nearly the whole length and most Of the
breadth Of the Province The statements
nearly oil agree in Asying that owing to the
slight fall OF snow last Winter in the U ,,per
Province. and tho consequent exposure Of
the seed TO the cold, Fall wheat generally
proved future; but. on the other hand.
with scarcely IN exception. they agree in
stating that the yield OF Spring
wheat, barley, oats. rye, ETC., would
amount to . full average, and the
root crops to one Of the largest ever
gathered in Canada. Harvesting had be-
gun some localities when these returns
we're compiled, and there Was resson for the
belief that Gee Of the most bounteous crops
within the memory Of man would again fiji

the rains Of The past tx or eight weeks have
IN very many t,str,c,s, destroyed these

The Mexican Loan.

The news from Juari>t sources has OF
late been 50 uniavorablc to MAXIMILIAN
that the matter Of the loan to help the
Liberals to drive MAXIMlLlAN out Of the
country has been permitted TO rest very
quietly. But there were during the past
week some outgivings that it would be dis
posed of by Congress before it adjourned.
1t will be well il it is disposed of by rcicc-
ton. We take it that the renewed aglta-
ton of the subject indicates that MAAINI-
LIAM has more life than people thought.
The New York Times is decidedly against
the loan. Ii dcridcs the idea that S5O,0oO,-
600 could enable the LibcraliSts 10 upset
the Empire. That paper warns the Con-
gress against increasing the taxes for any
urpoSe, let alone this. 1t declares that
the people are impatient with the burthcns
they now bear, and concludes with this
sensible paragraph:
"Look at what this fifty millions would
do if expended on public works in our
own country. Look what it would do If
applied 10 the diminution Of the public
debt. Look what il would do if left in
the pockets Of those to whom it rightiully
belongs"
Fortunately Congress adjourned without
touching the subject.

The Neutrality Laws.

The House has just adopted an act
amending our neutrality laws. The new
bill so moditics the old law as to make ii
similar to the British foreign enlistment
act, except that it authorizes citizens of the
United States to sell vessels and munitions
of wal to Governments not ut war with the
United States. SO that our manufacturers
will do a good business in foreign "rebel-
lions" hereafter. England, it is true,
saved the Federal Government immense
loss 10y stopping the rams, but that is
nothing, and there is a present need OF
this measure. Vessels are needed for
Mexico. The Juarists want to harass
MACMILLAN, and this law is to enable them
to buy ships to do this.

Hospitality.

\ Mr.. RANDOLPH, colorcd gentleman OF
Louisiana, recently visited President JOHN
son to lay before him a plan for educating
the blacks of the South. The President con-
verscd with him freely and kindly. In the
course OF his remarks he intimated on the
subject of alleged ~cruelties to blacks that
the southern people could not at once be ex-
pectcd to assume a calm demeanor, having
been for four years familiar with blood and
carnage, and having suffered so heavily
from losses of property. He gave an ex-
tract from his policy, 81 execrated by
Radicals, in the remark that the question
of suffrage belonged to the individual
States" and that education was the only
hope Of the colored race. With this ex-
PLANTATION he was willing to sign the paper
in behalf of the proposed school. He then
asked Mr.. RANDOLPH if he had had his
dinner, and being answered in the mega
tive, no called q servant and babe him give
Mr.. RANDOLPH his dinner; which was
done, including . glass Of wine. Tho
