THE Crops IN MICHIGAN.-Advices
from all the principal agricultural
districts of Michigan give promise
that the forthcoming harvest will be
bountiful one. Wheat, rye, oats,

rainy season has been very unfavora-

The International Monetary Con-
yention was to have assembled in Pa
ris last week. 1t is an important Con-
vention, not only from the subjects il
. has to discuss. but from the fact that
of the sixteen Governments. invited
by NAPOLEON to participate, the
greater part will be represented, the
distinguished NJ. RoUHER presiding.
The main question will doubtless be
~the.invention of universal monetary
system in the interest of the whole
world. Not onlyis the diversity of
reckoning money in civilized nations
an unmixed evil, but in many coun-
tries the method in vogue is utterly
absurd. The unifcation of the none
tary systems for all nations are great
ly to be desired. And, when it is
once decided upon, the best plan can
easily be adopted. 1t is also a sup
Elementary step to that change of
weights and measures to the decimal
system which is progressing the world
over, and which the last Congress es-
tablished for our country, to go into
operation after fixed future date.

The destruction of the great carpet
works at Hartford, last week, is really
a national calamity. These were the
largest carpet manufactures of the
kind in the country, and employed
over two thousand workmen. The
entire loss is about one million

almost entirely on the company, as
the works were covered by but small
insurance. As the owners are wealthy
and the business profitable. new build

WHY ARE WE ExCLUDED FROM
VOTING BY THE CONSTIFUTTONAI,
AMENDMENT.
From the AtIanfa lGal Nsw r.

From the Atlanta (Ga.) New Era.
1t is believed our people do not general
| ly understand who are affected by the con-
stitutional amendment and excluded from
office, and from the ballot-box by the late
bill.
The following persons are excluded
i. All persons who, before the war, were
members of Congress, or officers of the
United States, and afterwards engaged in
the rebellion.
2. All persons who, prior to the war.
were executive, legislative or judicial off
GERS of the State, and took the like oath,
and engaged in the rebellion.
This embraces Governors, members of
the Legislature and judicial officers, from
Judge of the Supreme Court down to
Justice of the Peace, who at any time held
Office and took the oath and afterwards en-
gagged in the rebellion.
Who, then, are not ercladedF No one is
excluded because he held an office under
the Confederate States from President
down, if he does not fall within one of the
excluded classes above specified. The sim
pie fact that he was a Confederate Senator
or Confederate General, or that he took
an oath to support the constitution of the
Confederate States, does not exclude him.
3. No State or county officer is excluded
on account of his having held the Office and
taken the oath and engaged in the rebellion,
if he were not an executive, legislative or
judicial officer; therefore, neither lawyer,
sheriff, clerk, tax collector, receiver, county
treasurer, coroner, surveyor, constable or
road commissioner is excluded.
4 As no man under fwentv-i,ne vaars of
age, when the war began, held any such
office as disqualified, and none ofthen took
the oath to support the constitution of the
United States during the war, and as the
war commenced nearly six years ago, no
man under twenty-seyen years of age can
be excluded.
5. Militia officers are not excluded.a
.. The whole mass Of our people who
fall within none of the excluded classes
above mentioned are free from ne disqualiji-
cation, and may vote and hold sny Office in
the State without regard TO the part they
took in the war.

authorities yesterday, to the hundreds Of

else by some of the police or citizens at
suspicious characters.
Buildings have been carried off from
every part of the city. Some Of them are
lodged within the corporation limits on
high spots Of ground, or have caught on
posts and held till the waters went doEn,
when they overturned and now lie in every
odd manner on the streets.
In the Union Passenger Depot, the plat
forms have been raised by the current and
stand up in every direction, every few yards
of flooring seeming an inclined plane on
its own hook.
The platforms on both sides of Ninth
street, from Railroad to Market, have been
tossed and thrown about the water as il
they were nothing but feathers, and now

LOSS OF LIFE EhS
No reliable estimate can be made "a vet
Of the number of individuals who have
persisted by the food. We can only give
few we'll authenticated accounts, from
which our readers can judge of the proba-
bic number. Between nine and ten O'clock
on Saturday night, cries were heard as
from two men in the water, in Railroad
street, opposite the Crutchfeld House.
Their cries were mingled with splashings
in the water which lasted for a couple Of
minutes, when all became quiet, and it is
feared that some unfortunate men sank 10
rise no more. A small boat, containing
three men, capsized between the Episcopal
and Presbyterian churches, at Seventh and
Chestnut streets, on Saturday morning.
No boats were near to render them any
aid, and none of them seemed to know
how to swim. After several vain en-
deavors to climb upon their boat, they
finally went down. A frame building with
three men on it. Aoated across Sutlertown
late on Sunday evening. Two of them
slipped off the roof somehow, and in at
tempting to get back, it turned over on
them, throwing the third man off and
burying the other two underneath it. A
gentleman informs us that he has counted
fifteen bodies of men, women and children,
white and black, float past his place, Oh the
Lookout mountain road. A negro man was
drowned near the upper end of the depot
yard, on Saturday afternoon, and white
man was lost by his boat swapping near
the old Soldiers Home, corner of Ninth
and Pine streets. As we said before, no
estimate can be made of the number of
lives lost, but we have no doubt that it is
very large. Probably the full number will
never be known.
