scarcity of Grain I'm Russia.

Letters from the Baltic ports contain the
very Important news that the Russian Gov
ernment has entered the grain markets of
Germany as purchaser of cereals. As
Russia is one of the largest in-supply-
ing countries of the world, furnishing
England more than that country obtains
from all other sources, including the Uni
ted States, its appearance as purchaser
Of grain is the more extraordinary. 1t is
not, however, entirely unprecedented. Last
year the Russians were compelled to buy
grain in the central European markets.
This exceptional condition of affairs can
not be attributed to defective harvests or
short crops. So far as these were con-
cerned the last couple of Russian harvests
were all that could be desired But the
trouble arises from the emancipation of the
peasantry. The population having been
rendered independent, proprietors no lon
ger work on the great estates, the surplus
produce of which rendered Russia the
gfanary of Europe. The number of these
proprietors is rapidly increasing under the
land laws, and these persons, now their
own masters, cultivate only enough corn
for the supply of their own personal wants,
and frequently not even enough. The
consequence is that the area of grain sown
in Russia is gradually decreasing. Pro-
vinces which formerly exported vast guam
titles of grain, for several years past have
been obliged to import corn in order to
make up for deficiencies. To provide
against the consequences of the improvi-
dence of the newly emancipated serfs, the
Government is now obliged to store i'm
mense quantities of grain for the use Of
the population of the rich grain districts Of
the empire.
This condition of affairs in Russia must
exercise some apprecable influence upon
the American breadstuffs trade England
will be cut off from portion of the sup
plies formerly obtained from Russia, and
must look to the United States to supply
the deficiency. This can hardly fail tt
impart renewed activity to our exports o.
breadstufs, and may possibly cause firm.
ness, if not an advance in prices.-N. Y

THE PRIcE OF GRAIN.-There are two
isems in the late foreign news possessing
more than the usual interest for the agri-
culturists Of this country One is, that
there is failure of the grain crop in Rus
sia, the granary of Europe, whence Eng
land draws her chief supplies. The other
is, continued wet weather in England
which is highly unfayorable to the grow
ing grain, and which, it is supposed, will
create greater than the usual demand for
breadstuffs in that country. The supply
from Russia being cut off by failure there
England will necessarily have to look tc
this country to replenish her granaries
Russia herself will be purchaser, ant
hence it is supposed there will be an ACTIVE
demand for shipment after harvest, wher
the new crop is ready for delivery. I
this anticipated increased demand fo
breadstuffs should be realized, prices will
show an active upward tendency, and tn
increase will come very opportunely fo
the farmers, as the price of grain is to-
low, when compared with the prices O
other things.

rhs Census cemmlsss..


The Census Committee, says the Ma
tional Iutelligencer, who are in session
from Eve to six hours a day, are doing
their work very thoroughly, and will pro-
bably be engaged here for two weeks or
more. One Of the most important ques-
tions with which they viii have to deal
viii be the effect of the fourteenth consti-
tutieaal amendment, adopted in 1867,
apon the basis Of representation, aud the
relative political power of the States ma
tionally considered. The second section
Of that amendment reads as follows:
''SEc. 2, Representatives shall be ap-
porticned among the several States accord :
ing to their respective numbers, counting
the whole number of persons in each State,
excluding Indians not taxed. But when
the right to vote, ut any election for the
choice of electors for President and Vice
President of the United States, represen-
tatives in Congress, the executive and ju-
dicial officers of State, or the members
Of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any
ing twenty -one years of age, and citizens
Of the United States, or in any way abridg-
ed. except for participation in rebellion or
other crime, the basis of representation
therein shall be reduced in the proportion
which the number of such male citizens
shall bear to the whole number of male
citizens twenty-one years of age in such
State
The design Of this amendment was tc
exclude from representation all that class
+, Of negro population TO whom the right o.
suffrage was denied, but on careful read
ing it will be seen that it applies not only
to this class, but to all other classes who
are denied the right to vote, save those
disqualified for crime or participation in
rebellion. Upon this theory it is held by
some that Massachusetts,, which denies the
voting franchise to all those who canno
read and write; Rhode Island, where for
eigners without property qualification are
not permitted to vote; and other States
who refuse the fraBehise to limited classe.
for other or similar causes, must suffer il
their basis of representation. 1t is ais,
apprehended that citizens of the Unitet
States who, for any cause, such as change
of residence, are not allowed to vote, must
with that portion Of the population the,
represent, be also excluded. 1t become
then of considerable Importance to ascer
tain how the requirements of this section
of the Constitution referred to can be met
This is but one Of the difficult question
which encounter the Census Committee il
their investigations. = Wash. Cor. NJ Y

SPA1N.-A monarchy is not SO certain
in Spain, after all. Fifty thousand citi-
zens have protested against the adoption
of that form of government, and another
revolution is imminent. Every delay in
the establishment of royalty accustoms
the Spanish people to self-government,
and strengthens republicanism. Should
the Bourbons be excluded from the throne
it is not probable that any new dynasty
will be established. The end is not yet.
The Spanish Cortes voted on Wednes-
day, 1913 to 45, that Marshal Serranc
should be Regent. AS they cannot agree
who shall be King, this has been adopted
as the only feasible step, but whether it
will change the present situation of affairs
for the better or change them at all, i.
very doubtful. Serrano, Prim, and o.
paga have been Regents for some months
and it is reasonable to presume that theil
three heads united in wisdom arc bette,
than one acting separately.

DEAR EDITOR After the kindly feel
ing between the Defiance, Jr and the Ac-
ademic, Jr. b. b. Clubs, I noticed with
surprise the communication of "L" in
your last issue, and while it is a matter
Of no vital interest, yet, curiosity and a
love of justice led me to investigate the
matter. l find the facts as follows: Upon
the day of the game two of the best men,
bers of Academic, Jr. were not on the
ground, and by an agreement between the
captains of each club, two young men
were substituted. The game then played
resulted as you described it, and upon its
conclusion with gentlemanly courtesy the
vanquished Defiance became the honored
guests of the victorious Academic. After
which with every feeling of respect they
parted. 1t now seems that spirit of RI
valry has grown out of the social game, and
they would fain allege through your cores
pondent ell" that their Club was not
vanquished in a manner deemed fair by
the code. The Academies, with the ut
most good feeling towards the Def
ance, Jr. assert that they had no men
(dxcept in skilD enrolled with them, and
as all victors can afford to be generous,
and having no desire to pluck one sprig
from the laurel of the Defiance, they pro-
pose the following challenge:
1st To meet the Defiance upon the
same ground, upon any day they will
name between June 26th, and September
4th.
I'd. To have then and there upon the
side of Academic, Jr. no player exceed.
ing 2l years of age, or in other words
have no one except their original nine.
3D.. Will allow Defiance, Jr. to have
as many of their club over q years o
age as they sec proper.
4. To play match game for priz,
ball.
This is not done in spirit of defiance
but to show the club of Odessa that the,
are determined to satisfy them of superior
skill in the art, and convince Defiance
Jr. that although they belong to the an
cient Seaport, they can learn how it i
done in the Interior, if they will COM
over
If the Defiance accept the challenge
which must be done within five days, the,
will please signify it by correspondence
with their Secretary, when the proper
preliminaries will at once be arranged.

The Peninsular Peacb Growers ASS

The Peninsular Peach Growers Asso-
citation had stormy session at Dover, on
Tuesday last, we learn. The general
objects of the association have been to
make arrangements for the prompt delivery
of their fruit, the return of their baskets,
the proper regulation of sales in the mar
ket, and an explicit understanding with
the Rail Road Companies as to rates
Of freight, ventilation of cars, and other
details of the shipment and trade. All
these matters have been partially accom-
plished through the agency of committees
appointed for the purpose. The great
source of dissatisfaction now seems to be
the tax Of FIVE dollars on each car of
peaches sent over the road, which the Rail
Road Company have determined to lay
upon the peach growers to reimburse the
Company for the tax imposed by the last
Legislature.

The French ELEorIoNs.-The late cleo
tions in France cannot be considered by
the government as satisfactory The ru-
raj districts have as usual, been in general
faithful to the Emperor, but the reports
received by mail from the whole of France
are that the opposition have polled 8, 248,-
So5 votes, against only 4 ,053 ,056 for the
government. In Paris the candidates fa-
vored by the government received only
7,943 votes on the first ballot, against
24O, ,515 for the opposition. Even some of
the rural districts went against the govern
ment, and in all the large centres of pop
ulation, including the department of the
Seine, (Paris) there has been a strong
and almost revolutionary contest. The
Orleanists are exterminated. 1t is stated
that even men who have long been con.
sidered rather bold republicans, but whose
opinions were not extreme enough to salts
fly the aspirations of g democratic France,
were served no better than the Orleanists
whose struggle has been for milder form
of Imperialism or monarchy. Ever
Rochefort, editor of the Lanterne, famous
for his violent abuse of the Emperor, cam,
near being elected. Out and out avowec
enemies of Napoleon were elected from
Paris and various towns by the reds. AL
this indicates that the Emperor must con
stitutionalize his government in libera
direction, or look to his bayonets.

The LYNCHINa AT LEXINGTON, VIRGIN
IA. "A special despatch to the New York
World contains some additional particu-
lars of the lynching of the negro Jesse Ed
wards, at Lexington, for the murder and
outrage upon Miss Susan Kile. 1t says
On Saturday last, at l in the morning, the
jailor was aroused by three men having
another tied, whom they pretended they
wished to commit on a charge of horse
stealing. The door opened, about seven
ty-6ve armed men followed the leaders,
and the jailor was soon forced to give uE
the keys of the cells. They then dragged
the negro murderer out, and nothing more
definitely is known, save that at sunrise
next morning his body was found hang.
ing to tree. pierced by three bullets, and
with life extinct. Though this summary
vengeance has not the approval of citizen,
generally, yet the perpetrators have some
defence, in the fact that many negroes con.
victed of heinous crimes in that county
have been pardoned by the Radical Gov,
ernor, Wells, and the race is becoming ev.
cry day more lawless. Caesar Griffin
