DEMOCRATIC papers are insisting
that Gen. SHERIDAN's trip through
the country is for the purpose of
making political capital. They alleg-
ed that his conduct in the South was
for the same purpose. They can
credit no man with higher motives
than desire to make political capt.
tai. Gen. SHERIDAN has done nothing
to merit these insinua;ions. An
officer, of twenty years uninterrupted
service. it seems, cannot travel
through the country and receive the
congratulation Of his friends without
having his motives impugned. He
has said nothing of political nature,
unless it be the following, viz: Il
certainly know that heretofore have
not, and. / believe that hereafter [
never shall, by any act of mine,
attempt to max e. rebe llion honorable.
Rebellion is crime, and it shall not
be made honorable IF declarations
like this are to be considered as
stamping a mans party relations,

BILE nature, and neither Gen. SHERI-
DAN 10 friends nor himself would

ARKANSAS.

:. This State is so far off and so low

POSSESSES much interest. 1t is the
Egypt > of the country, even more
benighted than Texas OF Florida
This was so in the bad old times Of
slavery, and is equal y so at the pres
ent day. 1t appears from Little
Rock correspondent of New York
paper, that the obstructionists have
resolved to register as many as pos
away from the polls, or voting nay. to
defeat the Convention. They know
that if Convention should be held
they would be unable to control it:
they, therefore, determine to avail
themselves, to the full extent, of the
clause il the supplementary act of re-
construction by. which it is possible
for them to postpone reconstruction.
The Ouachita Herald discourses as
follows on this point:
: If a majority of the people of Ar
kansas vote against Convention, un
der the law, can reconstruction be
carried out? To vote .ainst Con-
vention is the only way to defeat
Radical reconstruction. Mark the
prediction that, if that Convention is
holden. an organization of the State,
Radical in the extreme, will be the
result IF the people of Arkansas
elect such men as can truly repre-
sent them, they will be met at the
door of the Convention hall with the

CONDITION OF THE CROPS, IN sAU-
GUST AND SEPTEMBER.-Thes report
OF the Department of Agriculture for
the above months has been published.
As regards the wheat crop, the con-
dition at the time of harvesting is
lower than in 1866, but there is very
large per centum of increase In guam
tity-amounting, according to the
All. The wet weather during harvest
ing was prejudicial to the quality of
the crop. The corn crop-adding the
greatinerease IN the South to the de-
fective product of the North and
Northwest in the same instances
foots up fair average crop. Rye,
barley and oats exhibit no material
change from the previous reports,
though oats were seriously injured in
some sections by the extreme wet
weather during the harvest; but gen.
orally the crop appears superior to
that of last year. Buckwheat shows
an average acreage, with prospect of
fair crop. Potatoes are rotting
badly in many of the large po-,
tato growing States, and the
crop will probably fall be-,
low the yield of last year. Sugar
cane and sorghum show a fair in
crease over the crops of last year.
Sorghum is evidently on the decline
in most Of the States. The crop now
growing is in good condition. In
few Of the States the apple crop
promises well. but In a majority the
yield will be from 10 to 40 per cent.
below the crop of 1866. Hay shows
an increase In almost every State, and
gu tie large in many Of them reach
ing from % to - per cent. above the
crop Of 1866. The wool clip of 1867
will probably fall from 5 to 10 per
cent. short of the crop of last year.

last Winter. and the consequent ex-
posure and destruction of a large
number of sheep.-Bost5n Journal }

THE Philadelphia Press says that

Of Maryland, just appointed Regis
ter OF the Treasury, is no less per-
sonage than Governor SwANN's In.
spector General of Militia, who is now
receiving salary of FIVE thousand
dollars per year for organizing rebel
troops in that State, The loyal men
of Maryland are deeply hurt and in
censed at the commentator of this
man by the New York Iri6une's COR
respondent, and by vario1s Northern
papers. JEFFRIEs is one of the most
virulent of the rebel Democracy of
our sorely tried sister State. His ap
peintment is the latest deyelopement
of the " my policy" madness, and is
simply an insult to the country, if it
is not something worse. Just now it
is more important to have the Treas
ury we'll guarded than any other de-
partment. 1t is omineuswhen Ma

DEAR SIR: In answer to your in
quiry, What effect the success of the
Presidents views will have on the
national securities" am of opinion
that its effect would be very Injurious.
The President contends that the
body of men acting as Congress has
no constitutional powers, and can do
no valid acts in the abserce of the
excluded States. The CoDgre ses
that authorized the war debt, and laid
the internal duties to pay it, were
composed of precisely the same num-
Der of Representatives from the same
States as the present. If it should be
decided that those Congresses had no
Constitutional existence, the FIVE
twenties, -forties, seven-thirties
and the legal tender greenbacks will
have been issued without authority,
and will be worthless.
Whether they would ever be re-
deemed would depend on what the
President would consider a Constitu-
tional Congress, after the admission
of the rebel Representatives, when.
the condition of the debts of both
.belligerents would be considered.

WE publish on our second page,
this morning, two able letters on Ma
tional Finances, both from Repuoli-
can stand points. and yet antagonistic.
General BUTLER, it will be seen, in
sists that to pay the $40 bonds in
greenbacks is no violation of public
faith or population. HORACE GREE
LEY, while tac;tly admitting that as
a legal question General BUTLER may
be correct, insists that the question
is essentially moral question, and
viewed in that light, it is breach of
faith to insist upon paying off the
$50 bonds in promises to pay, or
Government paper. We give both
sides that our readers may form their
own opinions. 'rsi
