THE LEGISLATURES YESTERDAY-
ENFRANCHISEMEN

Elsewhere in this mornings issue will
be found the brief communication Of the
Governor to the Legislature touching the
subject Of cnlranchiscmen He sim
ply submits the proposition of Judge Lea
and offers it for consideration. lie
neither approves nor disapproves it, and
transfers the whole subject to the Legiss
laturo Even in this, however, he has set
an example which his friends in the
Legislature may wOrthily follow "A re-
spcctGul consideration" is the least that
can be done; and, perhaps, the Cover
nor's influence may secure it.
There will also be found in the Begis-
lative proceedings an extended account
Of the presentation by Judge Shacklefcrd
Of the petition Of nearly four thousand
citizens Of this county, in behalf Of en-
reimbursement, and measures to avoid
strife in the state. and the manner of its
reception by the House Of Representa-
tiycs. It Is worthy Of careful reading,
Is it will doubtless form an important
chapter in the history of the trouhlous
times % rough which this people is pass
ing. We refrain, at the present, from
any Comments on the events Of ycster-
day, as the important question is yet
pending, and we would write no word to
further embarrass or impede the effort Of
those who are suing for Justice at the
hands of power IL is enough to say,
however, that those who bore the peti-
ton, one and all, conducted themselves
with temperance and discretion, and
clearly aud GOrcibly presented the appeal

THE CROPS.


The Macon ga Messenger and Journal
says: Some of our country friends insist
that they will make plenty Of corn in spite
ofall the croaking and grumbling. The late
rains have helped them wonderfully--in
many cases doubled and trebled their pros
poets. But they 60 not pretend to speak of
all. Glad to hear that many are much
better of than supposed few Gays ago."
The Milwaukee Ncws of July 20 says:
The wheat harvest Of Wisconsin in very
nearly half already in the shock, and in
some instances stacking has commenced
Farmers have said, in some localities, and
some yet insist, that there will be scarcely
an average crop. But a transit across the
State in several directions, and conYersa-
ton with those who have talked with hun
dreds from all parts Of the State upon the
crop prospects, induce the belief that the
Weld this year will considerably exceed the
ordinary yield The straw is said generally
to be short, but the heads are excellently
filled with plump and sound berries, not
withstanding the crOaking concerning the
shrinkage which the excessively hot
weather has produced. Men among and
across the grain fields Of the State insist
that it is very seldom Wisconsin has seen
better crop than will be that of 1868. 1t
is generally conceded that corn promises
extraordinarily well, and that potatoes,
despite some slight ravages Of the bug, will
exceed the average crop. A noticeable feature
of the present harvest is the scarcity Of
workmen in the western portions of the
State S. per day is freely given, and in few
localities is the price less than 81. AT
evening farmers drive out into the towns
and villages adjoining them, and the
liveliest contests often ensue to secure the
services of the few laborers who present
themselves for hire.
A Savannah dispatch of the Sd inst says ::
"Reports from the crops in this section
show that rains are iniuring plants, and
information from Florida state that the
worm is at work on most plantations"

An EXPLANATION

The following note from our correspon
dent F. C. d., is ss ereditable to the
writer as it should be satisfactory to
those who were alluded to in previous
letter.
In this connection, we take pleasure in
quoting the following from a private note
received from Mr.. Ewing last night:
did not know Of the movement Of the
Generals and others to compromise mat.
ters with the Legislature. My letter was
simply a protest against what cOusid-
cred false and dangerous doctrine,
coming from men for whom had high
respect, and who would, as | thought
have great influence with the public. |
advised no immediate action; but merely
said that q time might come when such
action would be demanded | am as
tonished that my letter should have been
so misunderstood We gladly record
this explanation, and assure the distin
guished writer that, 10 our estimation, II
relieves him from the current belief thai
his purpose was to aid certain class o.
Radicals in precipitating us into war
The following is the note of F. G. d.:
COLUMBIA, Aug. 3, 1S6S.-Oh reading
my letter in your paper which came to-day
feel that it is unnecessarily severe, ane
that / have done myself injustice, as wei
a. Mr.. Ewing, in 30 far as it is ill-tempereC
and splenetic. / feel, without the suggea
ton Of any one, that some such apology i
due from me, and would be pleased, there
fore, If you would say the same, briefly
through a paragraph in the next issue o
your paper | am very much averse Il
Mr.. Ewing's course, but have no reason
and less desire, to express my dissatlsiac
ton otherwise than in respectful language
and would not have done 30 but for thu
hurry in which wrote and dispatched my
note. Yours truly, f. G. ID.

GRANI-s BROTmEK FOK SEYMOUR.

One member of the Grant family was not
trotted out at the Chicago Radical Conven-
ton. This was Orville Grant, Esq, brother
of the General, and a prominent and re-
specled merchant in Chicago. Although
no near at hand as to render his presence
easily Obtainable, he was neglected, and not
allowed to render his tribute TO his brothers
many merits. The state of the case, as we
understand it, is that Orville Grant refuses
to vote for his brother, considering him UNI
fit by his character and habits to occupy
the Presidential chair that he lately pre-
seated to a Chicago church, of which he is
a member, the sum of $500, and TO the Chi
cago Democratic Club the sum of $1,000
A clergyman who suggested to him that it
would have been better TO reverse these gifts,
was informed by Mr.. Grant, in reply, that
upon a careful consideration of the state of
the country and the character of the two
candidates, he rather thought he ought to
have doubled the present TO the Democra-
tic Club 1t is also said that Mr. Gage, the
proprietor of the Sherman House at Chi
cago, who would have voted the Republic
can ticket had another candidate been nomi-
mated, is now for Seymour, and willing that
the Democratic Clubs of Chicago should
make his celebrated hotel their beadquaf-
tiers. Another indication of the way the
tide is setting in that city was the presence
of FIVE or six hunded Republicans at the
Seymour ratification meeting in Chicago,
who cbeered as Justify as any of the Demo
Gratis.

A GENERAL agricultural report OF the
condition of the harvest on the continent
says the harvest in the south of France is
terminated. Fears which had generally
prevailed have been dissipated, and the re-
suit is better than was expected. The crop,
which in certain localities was supposed
10 be in jeopardy, will be abundant. At
Anglers reaping is going on everywhere,
and the farmers seem to he well satisfied.
The yield will be large, although the quail
ity leaves something to be desired. At
Monthiery the sickles are also in the corn
and the crop wilR be good. Letters from
Normandy give great hopes, and in some
points the produce will be above the ave
rage.

TuE members of the deputatiOn which
presented the mammoth petition for
peace and political freedom to the hcgis-
lature on yesterday, speak in terms of
high commendation Of the bearing Of
several members Of the House Of Rep
resentativos on the occasion. Among
them were Speaker Richards and Thos
A. Kercheval, Of Davidson county. The
courtesy and dignity exhibited by those
gentlemen was in striking contrast to tho
rude and insulting demeanor ispIayed
by some others.

What Breaks Down Y0ung Men.
1t is commonly received notion that
hard study is the unhealthy element of
college life. But from tables of the
mortality of Harvard University, col
lected by Prof. Pierce from the last trien-
nial catalogue, it is clearly demonstrated
that the excess of deaths for the first
ten years after graduation is found in
that portion of each class inferior in
scholarship. Every one who has been
through the curriculum knows that were
Aeschuylus and political economy injure
one. late hours and rum punches use up
a dozen, and that the two little fingers
of Morpheus are heavier than the lions of
Euclid. Dissipation is a sure and swift de-
stroyer, and every yeungman man who fol-
lows it is as the early Aowerexposed to un-
timely frost. Those who have been in
veigled into the path of vice are named
"legion," for they are many-enough to
convince every novitiate that he has no
security that he shall escape similar
fate. A few hours of sleep each night,
high living and plenty of "smashes"
make war upon every function of the
human body. The brains, the heart, the
lungs. the liver, the spine, the limbs, the
bone, the fesh-every part and faculty
ARE overtasked, worn and weakened
by the terrific energy of passion and ap-
petite loosed from restraint, until, like a
dilapidated mansion, the earthly house
of this tabernacle" falls into ruinous de-
cay. Fast young men, right about.
