able to fill the offices of the State with
honest. competent men in lieu of the
scalawag and dishonest carpet-bagger.
Every effort viii now be made to abolish
the unjust and impolitic tax on sales
which has so long been a drawback and a
burthen upon our business, and which
has done more to drive business men and
patronage from our State than all the
| sther enactments on the statute books.
Trade is rather duh in some depart
ments, but prices remain firm. The local

The crop news continues favorable.
Rain is needed in some sections, but both
corn and cotton are doing well. Crops in
| the North are much better than was at
one time reported. The wheat crop
! throughout Indiana has not been eaualed
during the past ten years. The i'm
mense ruin wrought by the rains, turns
out, after all, to be nothing serious. In
the very localities where the ruin - was
most complete, the yield turns out to he
fully an average one.
