The Effect of a Good Crop.

1t is possible that our hopes may
yet be blasted, and that the crop now
so promising, may yet to some ex-
tent fail, but everything indicates a
generous yield Of the fruits of the
earth. 1t is not too late In some
States, for the pest, the weeyil; frosts
may come too early in the fall for
the proper ripening of the corn; and
many other things may happen, but
the chances are as nine to ten that
tue crops will all be plentiful, and
that the present year will be fruit
ful one. With good crops comes
prosperity and revival Of "good
times" The stream Of golden grain
will set the wheels of industry in
motion: the people will buy because
they have the money to buy; we
shall be able 70 export produce, get
ting gold therefrom instead Of i'm
porting it; vessels viii be required
to transport it from the far west to
the far east; an impetus will be CIV
en- to every kind and variety of bust,
ness, and those half discouraged by
the untoward results of former ven-
lures, will pluck up coursge once
more and embark in new enterprises
with the spirit necessary to success.
The wealthy will have channels open.
ed in which to employ their capital
with profit to others as well as them
selves, and the poor will be relieved
of the crushing burdens Of high pri-
ces, while wages, owing to activity
in business will not be materially re-
duced. We have faith to believe
that we are entering upon . season
of prosperity, in which the shrewd
and prudent will be enabled to lay
financial foundations deep and strong
enough to withstand the shocks Of
all future troubles. "There's q
good time coming" and it is close at
hand. E...-, r....,. --.....

The following, which we take from
4 recent issue of the New York Tri
bune, will be Of general interest to
all who look through financial space;
"The August 7-3O's are fast pass
ing into long bonds, and st their
maturity few win pass into debt ma
tured and not presented for payment.
1t may as well be understood that
all 7-30's not presented for funding
at maturity, and all compound notes
not presented at maturity, win take
direction and interest cease upon
them. The Assistant Treasurer is
now ready to pay the compounds at
par and accrued compound interest
to the date of presentation, and not
at their face value st maturity The
funding process in all its details pro-
ceeding with eminent success, and
there is no reason to doubt that prior
to maturity any currency obligation
bearing interest viii pass into long
bonds"

Judge Duyall, of the Appellate
Count of Kentucky, has rendered 9
decision which will be the occasion
of an overhauling of the Kentucky
Courts. A white man was arrested
for stealing sum of money from 9
negro. The only witness in the case
was the negro himself, and upon his
testimony the white man was con
victed and sentenced TO the peniten-
tiary for q number of years. The
case was taken up to the Appellate
Judge Duvalrs) Court, and the
judgment is reversed upon the ground
that, according to the laws of Ken
lucky, q negro is not competent to
testify against a white man-thus
setting aside and nullifying the CiyiI
Rights Act, which declares explicitly
'nI all persons shall have an equal
.nt = cue, be parties, and give ev-
TiueSss :" S-,rts of law.

ABOUT PARTIES

In all communities there is gov
erning element that sooner or later
comes to the surface and takes con.
troll The aristocracy of England,
for example, famed for its courage,
wisdom and lack of humanity, has
for centuries welded the destinies OF
that mighty people; while in France,
first the kingly rule, and latterly that
of the bonrgeoisie has governed its
people. In our country, from almost
the formation of our government to
the hour when the late terrible war
broke upon us, that governing ele
ment was found in the Democratic
party. Its name indicated to some
extent its beautiful nature, and in its
earlier days, the days Of Jefferson, it
came nearer to the element that
should control Republic, than any
other brought forth of humanity
Our people, stung by the sneers and
suffering from the wrongs Of an aris-
tocrscy, set mp the rights Of the cit
izen; and proclaimed. the dignity of
labor, and under the control of the
Democracy, recognized and sustain
ed such measures only as sustained
the citizen and elevated the laborer.
/ am not here, my fellow citizens,
to preach the eulogistic funeral SER
mon over the memories of this once
mighty organization, for it 10 dead.
It is dead to the voice of humanity.
it is dead to the high trust reposed
in it by the fathers of the Govern
ment. Itfe- into decay, and became
the active instrument Of bad men,
who used it for their own ambitious
ends, and swayed their followers by
appeals to passion instead of reason,
and perverted the highest trusts to
the meanest purposes. When its
hour of trial came it failed ignomin-
iously. The vilest of all vile things,
so sung by the poets, SO condemned
by orators, so taught by ssees, is
that yillainy, called slavery, while
the loftiest virtue of all virtues is
patriotism. When the hour of trial
came, and the Republic wss found

As it IS a matter 0 finterest to knou how
certain Republicans in this State propose
to act, and what influence they will use
upon their Northern associates as to the
treatment Of the State under its recon
structed form, we quote the following
from a letter to his son, by w. Jasper
Blackburn, Of the Homer Had. which il
one of the three papers selected to rep
resent that party iu this State, and which
has been endowed with the advertising
patronage Of the United States and its
~oficels /:
"The time, in the legislation Of the
nation, has now arrived, in my humble
estimation, when every trus-hearted and
humane Union man, both North and
South, can appropriately and consistently
sympsthize with and treat with gentle
ness and some forbearance, The late reb
els-that is, if these late rebels will on
ly cease to do evil and learn to do we'll :
and [ trust, and hope, and even believe
they will. One thing is certain, if they
only knew as we'll as | do what is in store
for the future, if the spirit of the past is
continued to be indulged, a change for
the better would Immediately take place !;
unless, indeed, complete and incurab,,e
madness has taken possession of tue
masses, which God forbid, aud which |
trnst may not be so. The people of our
native Southern land may soon once more
be happy and prosperous, and united, if
tho present congressional offer is accept
ed in good faith-howeyer harsh it NAV
seem. And | confess it is harsh-posi.
lively SO, but not so much so relatively.
by which mean that the harshness of
the measure has been brought about and
forced upon the rebel element of the South
by its wi nnmitigated folly. At least.
this harshness has been necessitated and
accomplished, not only without my adj
vice but directly against my admonitions.
Fhere is not in the South a candid, hon
est hearted man who will not acknowl-
this. do not mean by this that I
have been opposed to certain congress
action, in case the Southern rebel
element should do so and so but | do
mean to say that | always warned this
rebel element against the folly Of doing
so and So"

New FRIENDS Or THE LEyEEs.-ih
New York Tribune comes out strongly
in favor of levee reparatIon. 1t says.-
The wotk of protecting sixteen million
acres Of the most fertile land ~ the States
of Missouri, Arkansas. Mississippi and
Louisiana from annual over1ows will be
done efftctually only by Congress.
It is The plain duty Of the nation 20
redeem these lands, and then by proper
taxation procure q evenue from them
sufficient to pay the cost of the original
works, as we'll as Of annual repairs,
Gen. Humphrey, an able engineer, pro
poses higher and stronger levees sec
ondly, the formation Of new outlets 70
Lakes Borgne and Pontchartrain third
", the opening Of closed bayous and,
fourthly, the enlargement Of tie Atchsf
aIaya, the Plaquemine ard the Latonrche,
If the further increase of the floods,
which have hitherto periodically become
greater, should render additional protect
ion necessary, a system Of dams might
lie constructed in the head-water stream
If the tributaries to the Mississippi, by
which the waters could be Withheld and
gradually distributed to the valley. Res
ervoirs could also be provided in the
swanps below to relieve the channels
from too great pressure. These works
would extend through the territory Of
several States, and would affect people
IF such diverse interests that nothing
short Of national authority is ever likely
to accomplish their construction.
The appeals of an afflicted country,
therefore, must be referred to Congress.
And now that the military bill has pro-
vided for the protection Of the loyal peo-
pie Of the South from the rebels, there
may be time and disposition to undertake
the great work Of effectually and perms-
nently retaining the delta of the Miss
sissippi from overflow.

ANOTHER OF THE Fashions VIcrIms.-An iuques,
"as held on Wedn ssday last upon the body of a man
found floating in the river opposite the railroad depot
The deceased was about Ave feet SIX inches high, and
apparently, a white man. Had on a gray undershirt,
q white cyershirt' and a pair Of chekered, or striped
easlnet paptaloons. In the pockets were found a
small brass key and a pocket knife, but no papers by
which it could be identified. Two or thres of the up
per front teeth were missing. Owing to the action of
the water for nearly four months, the hair from the
lace and head was entirely removed, so that it was
impossible to state with certainty as to its being the
body OF q white or black man. A white apron tied
around the body was stamped with the name Fash
ION" The body was d~ecently inferred near the depot.
