1t appears that we are fairly

is made so heavy on a grave Coun-

strained to submit the question to
the vote Of the sovereign citizens OF

becomes a serious matter, and all
who are interested are bound to
look at it on all sides.

waited upon us last week with
advices of wide spread dissat-
isfaction in consequence of the
Federal appointments in the
Eleventh District. Based upon
the information referred to was
an editorial paragraph which
appeared in the Gazette Of the
20th inst. This resulted in the
receipt by us ola score Of let,
ters, a portion of which We
printed, and the publication OF
editorials in several of the 10,

the dissatisfaction was confined
mainly to the gentlemen who
waited upon us, and we have
arrived at the conclusion that
such is the case. But we have
the gratifying information that
the difficulties that did exist
have been satisfactorily arr

"The Marietta and Cincin-

which took effect on July 1st,
reducing their local rates fully

and making a very material re.

evinces a desire on the part OF
the managers of this company
to meet the wants OF the local
shippers which is very crafty

rates of freight are equalized,
making the same rates for the
same distances anywhere on
the line and does away with
many Objectionable features of
the old tariff. The Company

that some decided action one

that the expected action will

The Crops.

1t is a remarkable fact that
from all this section OF country
there are but few words of
complaint in regard to crops,
while almost universally the
most favorable reports reach
US. We suppose it is safe to
say that the largest and best
crop of wheat ever grown in
this section is now being Sc.
cured, and that on the lst of
September there will be a
greater number of bushels on
hand in Ohio, Kentucky and
Indiana, than at any former Pc
riod.
What is to be done with this
immense crop is a question:
There is danger that the crop
has been damaged in the North.
west by rains, but even if the
injury should not be as exten-
sive as apprehended, the Eu-
ropean demand, together with
an increased home consump.
ton, will prove equal to the
supply. |......,r
Other crops also promise
well, and our great staple,
corn, which was planted late
and is behind, is catching up
rapidly. This scorching wealth
er, which is so severe upon
man and beast is good for the
corn. 1t is making the crop

Grants VindlcatiOn I'm Dollars
and Cents.
There has been much grumb-
ling over General Grants ap-
pointments, and some Of them
may have provoked 1t; bat the
fact is not disputed that the
current revenue since they
were made shows a large in.
crease over the corresponding
weeks of last year. Now the
taxes have not been increased;
our political adversaries say
that the country is not pros.
porous; and it will puzzle any
one to account for the increas-
ed receipts into the Treasury
OH any other hypothesis than
that of increased efficiency in
the collection. We believe
the income Of the Government
since General Grants inaugur.
alton has exceeded that of the
corresponding period or last
year by fully five millions OF
dollars, and that our national
debt has been reduced, over
and above any reduction ex,
pected in the spring months of
1868, by fully ten millions
We submit these facts as a full
justification of the changes
made by General Grant. New
