THE CROPS.

The July report of the Agricultural
Department presents favorable prospec
for uniformly good crops. The crop O
1850 was five and half bushels of wbea
to each person this year, it will be abou
/ six.
| WHEAT-All the States excep. Yer
mont, New York. and Pennsylvania show
an increase over last year.
COEN.-The average is unusually large
every State showing a material increase
except Maine, New Hampshire, Now York
and South Carolina. In the SogIerr
States the increase ranges upward td 10.
per cent, as in Arkansas. The condi:ioa,
as reported, is little deficient in Ne
Northern and Western States on accoun
of the lateness of the spring. With tie
continuance of the present weather ther,
is ample opportunity to make up the en-
tire deficiency, in which case the yield
will be Unprecedented.
OATs.-The condition of Oats points
to a full average in the West, particular.
ly in Wisconsin and Minnesota; also in
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Connection,
New Jersey, and the South-slightly less
than last year in Maine, Vermont, New
York and Kentucky.
PASTURES AND HAY.-These crops
are universally large from an average up
to 10, 20, and even 80 per cent. above.
- PorAToEs.-The report O. the average
of potatoes indicates larger area planted
In every State except Maine and New
York. The condition is also ,boye an
average, with few exceptions, among
which are New York, Ohio and Insiau.
FRUITs-Peaches are SO exceptional
in their successful seasons and localities
that estimates for States can scarcely be
made with accuracy. New Jersey, as in
d;cated by very general returns, shows 63
per cent. improvement over last year ;
Maryland % Delaware $50; Virginia 50
Michigan FL. In other States estimates
are given upon whatever data was received
generally showing a considerable increase
over last year.
ApPLEs.-Are promising in portions of
New England, the Allegheny region and
the West.
GRaPEs.-Arc more uniform in aver.
age of States, generally appearing unusu-
ally well. 1t has teen a more successful
year for Strawberries thar usual.
SoEGHUM.-The sorghum crop is GEN
orally returned in comparatively poor con-
dition with lower fgure- than any other
crop. Ohio and Indiana indicate DO
iiciency in average of If per cent, and
in condition 10 per cent. All the priDoi
pal sorghum growing States show siml
Jar state of facts.

FAIR PL Ny

THOSE in favor of making Greenbacks
and National Bank Notes as worthless as
the Continental money Of olden times,
should vote for Jud ge Sharswood. He
says that gold and silver is the only legal
currency, and that all paper money-evcu
that issued under authority of the Nation
al Government, is trash.
The opinions entertained by Judge
Sharswood on the legal tender" question,
which were very impcrieo;ly known at
the time of his nomination for the Su.
preme Bench by the Democratic Convex
ton, are now becoming generally under
stood by the people all over the State
We cannot afford to put a Judge upon
the bench of our highest Court who has
already declared that our whole financial
system is unconstitutional and void This
is subject that directly affects every
mans pocket, no matter what his politics
may be, and as such the people now com
prehen6 it. To strike down our lesal-ten.
der money, when it is in the pockets of
every one of US, will hurt Democrats Just
as mach as it will Republicans, and nei-
iher can afford to have it done.

. STATE WITH TWO CAPITALS.

Connecticut is the only State which
enjoys the anomaly of two capitals. Had
il the territorial dimensions of New York.
there might be some excuse for retaining
an absurdity, the original reasons for the
existence of which have long since van
ished. As it is, the honors of the State
capital alternate between Hartford and
New Haven Whatever of interest may
attach to State capital is lost, while the
State cannot afford tie proper outlay for
erecting and maintaining suitable State
buildings.
One Of the Connecticut papers COM
plains that "botb State houses are old,
dirty, dilapidated pens, hardly fit for pigs
with no suitable accommodations for COM
lni,tees, and hardly enough room for mem
bers" 1t adds that "they are disgrace
to tie State, and the people of Hartford
md New Haven are ashamed of them ,
;nd complaining that the citizens of the
s,mi-capi,als "act as though it was pure
y local question" and that Through
tlcir senseless rivaries and jealousies the
rst of the State must suffer" There are
people enough in Connecticut to settle
tits question, even if both the capitals
we're left out in the selection of a new State.

NOT TO DE TRUSTED,

Let it be remem bered that Judge Shars-
woods notorious decision against the ma
tlonai currency, was an extra judicial one.
1t was not involved in the case, but in his
partisan hatred and malice he went be.
yond his authority as a judge, and en-
deayored to STAB, in the hour Of its peril
the government thar fed and kept him
safe, by cloaking with the judicial er-
mine an extra judicial opinion, which, il
i; had been made the law, woald have
baukrupted the country and destroyed the
Union beyond the hope of redemp;on.-
Sharswood holds the same opinion to cav
and the men who could abuse his judicial
position TO promuigate such an opinion
would again abuse, if elected to the Su
preme Bench, his official position to en-
force that opinion, if it we're in his power,
ant thereby make utterly WORTHLESS every
dollar of currency and every government
bond ever issued by the United States
No man who has greenback dollar in
his pocket, or who OWLS government
bond on which he now regularly draws
his D, T. or per cent. interest can with
safety vote for Geo. Sharswood. Men
who have once shown themselves parti
zans on the judicial bench should never
be trusted with such authority again
Sharswood has been tried and found
wanting. Let him not again have the op-
portunity OF using judicial position to
further partizan measures or strike blow
at the notional life Bcdtord Inquirer

For the Sentinel.
AN UNFAIR GAME.

During the recent contest in this count.
for State Senator the charge was made b.
the rivals of Colonel Robson that he wa
brought oat by Colsnel Patterson for th'
purpose of using him to carry the count,
and then trade him of, and thus the coun
ty would not get Senator. Now, whi't
I had a choice, yet | would rather see
either of the three nominated than for til,
county to lose the Senator. Col Robson
was fairly nominated, as he had a clear
majority over both of his opponents com
bined. Although the vote stood 19 tC
IA, Col Robson had large majority
over either Mr.. Wilson had delegates
and DR.. Sterrett say 10. Although he
really had only s. This is the way the
vote stood by delegates, and to take the
popular vote as you would under the
Crawford County System, Col Robson
had majority. So that he is clearly and
decidedly the choice of the county, and
every one aeguiesce in the result Cen
orally such is the feeling, but it seems
Dr. Sterrett is not satisfied, aud on last
Tuesday, the day on which the County
Convention was held in Huntingdon, he
went up and was busy in urging the sue
cessful candidate for Senator, Samuel Nc
Witty, 70 90 against Col. Robson in the
conference, and thus defeat him and cut
us out of Senator.
This game is an unfair one. The
claims of the two men were settled at
home by their own fellow ciizens, and it
is not honorable to the party in DR.. Ster-
ret now to 90 out OF the county and by
any representations he may make try to
cut the county out Of a Senator. What
he charges against others he is now trying
to do himself. He aud others find the
friends Of Col. Robson are in earnest
and are trying by every honorable means
to secure his nomination, and this plan is
now to be resorted to to defeat him and
make their story of "selling OUT true
DR.. Sterrett has gone to Conferences be-
fore this to oppose the nominees of this
county, and the people should know that
he is again trying to defeat their wish
Such course certainly will meet with
disapproval by every honest man, even if
he did vote against the nomination of Col.
Robson. Prof Wilson cordially endors-
es the result Of the Convention, and why
should DR.. S.errett attempt to thwart the
will of the people2 Had he been the
nomiree, he would have complained had
Col Robson or bis friends opposed him
in the other counties. If Col Robson
is defeated in the Conference and the
county cut out Of a Senator the people
will now know who to blame.

Of the causes Of the late rupture between
the President and Secretary Of War, was

which they had applied. The President
is said to have directed him to furnish
the battery, but that Mr.. Stanton declined

THE CABINET TUMBEING TO PIE
CES.

By all the accounts received from Wash
ington we are unmistakably enlightened
as to the weakness increasing in the Cab
met, the growing distrus. among its indi
vidual members, each for the other, and
the utter contempt in which the Presi>
dent, as man aud an odicicl, is held by
his constitutional advisers. Postmaster
General Randall has or will tender his
resignation, on the ground of personal!
friendship for Mr.. Stanton. Randall and
Stanton are the only members of the Cab
met between whom any friendship exists.
The other members Of that body are all
at logger heads, each jealous of the other,
each fearful that the other has too much
control Of the President, aud all conse-
quently regarding the Chief Magistrate
as mere tool. Mr.. Stewards enemies
have worked against MIN in something
like the spirit with which engineering
demagogues killed off men during the
Buchanan administration. They have
made johnson believe that Seward boasts
too much Of his power over him. In this
way poor old Buchanan was played upon
by the traitors who desired to monopoize
him and impressed by the false notion
that Northern men were boastfuI of their
power and influence over his Administra-
ton, Buchanan, by his rudeness and utter
heartlessness, drove from his confidence
some of the best Len Of the land. and
gave himself up entirely to the uses of
traitors. The same game is now being
played with johnson by the same men,
the traitors After Seward has prostitu-
ted himself to The base uses OF johnson
it is the policy of the new controllers of
the President to get rid of the old Pre-
mier This is to be accomplished by
playing on the personal pride of Johnson,
by leading him TO believe that as long as
lie has Seward in his Cabinet. the coun-
try is left under the impression that he
has a master. For this reason johnson is
tempted TO ask Seward TO resign. The
traitors want johnson and his Cabinet as
they had Buchanan and his constitutional
advisers, entirely under their own control.
We can only wait and see whether they
will succeed in their plots.
