corn more this year than last in the$6
ted States. While the area is sonnet ha
less in most of the New England STATS
New Jersey and Maryland, it has ben
much greater in all the Western nd
Southern States. Among the Sites
where the greatest increases of cul6a-
ton has taken place may be mentioed
Louisiana, where the increased area las
been threee hundred and ninety-seen
thousand acres Arkansas, three hn-
bred and seventy-six thousand acss
Missouri, four hundred and seven thu
sand acres; Illinois, three hundred md
sixty-six thousand acres, and so on
through all the South and West. 1.-THE
whole of the States there have cen
planted more than thirty-six milliot OF
acres-an advance of niue per cent. yer
last year But the yield will be a
much greater proportion-probably IF
teen to twenty per oent.-on account of
the favorable season and fine appeannee
of the crops As to wheat, the UNIVERSAL
opinion is that the crop will be the arg
est ever grown and produced in this
country. In the most famous wheatpro-
ducing sections of Ohio, Missouri, Mch-
igan, Kansas, and other States it is be
lieved that the amount will be threefold
what it was in 1867 Notwithstanding
less favorable reports from a few sections
where the nudge, extreme heat, rus or
other causes have affected the cpps,
there is no doubt that the general ger
age will be greater than in any previous
season. The same remarks will appF to
rye, oats, barley and potatoes. Withre-
gard to cotton, there has been less nm
Der of acres planted, probably, estimated
by some at ten per cent. less on the Wide
than last year, but the crop generally
promises well, and in yield may be create
last year. There Is. ~
to expect this. At anything Ike sae
present price this would be equal in
value to the full crop of former years
Two millions of bales at tweuty-nine to
thirty cents a pound-which is the pre-
sent quotation Of middling-would be
worth as much in money as the four mil
lions before the war at ten to twelve
cents q pound. Tobacco may not cover
quite as large an area as heretofore but
the crop promises very well, and the
price will make up for the smaller guam
tity. In Louisiana planters are turning
their attention again to the cultivation of
sugar, and it is estimated by some that
hundred thousand hogsheads will be
produced this year. The hay crop every
where is enormously large, and from the
scarcity in Europe we are now exporting
it at a most remunerative price Such is
the demand and price abroad that ship
pers can afford to send it by steamships,
and almost every steamer that leaves New
York carries a quantity as freight. Such
is the happy condition of this great
country and granary of the world with
regard to all the productions necessary
to sustain life aud stimulate commerce.

"IT Is THE HISTORY OF THE RADI-
CAL PARTY THAT CONDEMNS IT. SO
says New York journal which advocates
the election of Grant And it repeats
Men on either side count for little il
is the history of the Radical party that
condemnss;t." If quantity as well as
quality of history is measured and esti-
mated honestly for purposes of condem-
nation, those who would vote for Grant
and Colfax would be themselves alone"
The Radical party has had fair oppor-
tunity to write its own history; and it
has written it with free pen. If it has
brought one benefit upon the country, it
remains to be recorded:
The word taxation hardly occurs in its
history Chat Of the Democratic party,
and it never aimed blow at the Supreme
Court or sought to cripple the Govern
mcnt in the person of the Executives: 1t
sympathized with the South in the war,
and that can be forgiven bya people who
are at last coming to look upon the Re-
publicans as the South lookedupon them
" hen the war began.
Thus continues the paper from which
We quote. 1t is tribute worth quoting.
To avoid grinding imposition upon the
people, has always been the aim of Dem
ocratic statesmen and they have con-
sisrently maintained the balances and d.
visi As of powers recognized by and pro-
vidcd in the Constitution. The people

TENNESSEE AFFAIRs.-In a recent

himself unreservedly and warmly on the
condition of affairs in Tennessee. In
regard to the calling out of the militia
by Brownlow, he pointed to the eonsti-

organize standing army in time of peace,
and said that if these militia were thus
unlawfully called out they would be con-
fronted by the national troops In or

the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent

truth of the assertion, that in no case what
ever will it fail TO cure, if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In a

sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with n
perfect restoration OF the general health.

Grassland for Congress.

a number of the friends of Col. Ed.
Grassland are strongly urging him to
make the race for Congress in this Dis
trict. By act of Congress he has been
relieved Of the disabilities under which
he labored, on account of his participa-
ton in the late civil war. This act ap-
pears to render him eligible to any Office
in the Federal government but, whether,
the Radical majority of Congress would
admit him, is question, which We, his
friends, should well consider The peo-
pie of Western Kentucky have never
failed to give Ed Grassland a generous
support, and if from the lights before
him he shall decide to make the race, we
can not question but that his old pres
tige will continue with him. Judge Trim

are many strong reasons in favor of his
being returned Should the interest Of

NEW ORLEANS, August 25, 1865.


NRw ORLEANS, August 25, 1865.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
The New Orleans Times of this morning
TeProduces 10 its columns an article from
the Baton Rouge Gazette assailing General
]. Fl. Sypher, and among other things
calls him "bond forfeiter.n
The facts relating to the bond are as
follows; IN the spring Of 1866, General
Sypher employed same cOlored men near
the village OF Plaquemine, in the parish of
Iberville, to work upon his plantation in
Rapides. For this act he was arrested un-
der the act of the Legislature, approved
December 2lst, 1865, making it penal Of
Tense to hire laborers who had previously
made contracts. Whether these colored men
had previously contracted has never been
established by the State, but General
Sypheri denies that he was aware of any
such previous contract.
When arrested he gave bond to appear
when notified to answer the charge, and
deposited with the surety one thousand
dollars, that being two hundred and fifty
dollars more than the amount of the bond
At the next session of the Court at
Plaquemine the District Attorney forfeited
the bond, but the forfeiture being illegal
the Court set it aside. Thereupon the Dis
trict Attorney instituted suit upon the bond
against General S. and his surety. An ex-
ception was fled to the petition on two
grounds.
l. That the bond did not describe any
offense..
2. That the bond was detective and void
for the reason that no time or place was
designated for his appearance.
These points were ruled in favor of Cen
eral Sypher in the District Court, and the
District Attorney obtained leave to amend
bis petition. He did amend. and the ex-
oeptions were repeated and ruled upon as
before. Thereupon the District Attorney
appealed to the Supreme Court. When
the case came up in the latter court the
Attorney General, A. S. Heron, in open
court, said he was willing judgment should
go in favor Of defendants, but the case was
submitted to the Court on briefs filed, and
the judgment of the District Court was Of
frmed, and General Sypher and his surety
were released from all obligations arising
under the bond. This is the whole Of the
bondforfeiting business. What have
written above know, for the reason that
| was the Attorney for General Sypher in
the whole affair.
Very respectfully,
L. A. SHELDON.
