p@ Monday last was The dullest saleday on
record. One tract of land. containing 27 acres,
brought 5000. The few persons from the coun-
try loitcred in the shade, and there was total
absence of activity in business circles. Saleday
seems to be dlsregarded this summer, and there
are numerous conjectures rs to the cause for nom
attendance of the pspulace. The most amusing
reason yet assigned is that of On old gentleman,
who declares that whenever crowd comes to
town, and any of them happen to get inebriated,
the Mtslligsncsr is certain to note the fact and
hence the devotees of Bacchus, being resolved not
TO get into the newspapers, maintain respectful
distance on saledsy especially.

THE WEATHER AND TIE cRops,

The excessively hot weather continued up TO
Tuesday morning, the thermometer ranging among
the nineties Good rains have fallen in some Sec
tons, though yet we are not favored in this To-
cality. At this writing, Tuesday morning, the at
nosphere is smoky, and cool breezes present quite
acontrast to the sultry weather of last week. The
crops are not suffering severely for the want of
rain, and relief from protracted drought in few
days will gladden. the hearts of the farmers with
fair prospects of corn and cotton. The wheat and
oat crops are turning out splendidly, in many in
stances beyond average yield. The gardens
about town are badly in need Of refreshing show-

The Next Mayor.

To the Editors Of the Union and American.
The canvass for Mayor being now opened
we should look TO one question as OF vital
Importance. The experience OF several
years, resu' ting from ineficiency in the
executive head of the city government,
should teach us more care In selections Tor
the future, and cause us to concentrate up-
on the man best suited for the position.
We should unite upon one for Mayor who,
with the most thorough knowledge OF our
city matters, combines most of the elements
which wonld enable him 10 conduct the
whole machinery In such manner as will
relieve the embarrassed condition of all
the departments. Such an one, we think,
is Thomas j. Halle, E<q. Ii we need
one who entirely comprehends the whole
business entrusted to him, and
one who understands more of the
city, and its every interest than any other
within its limits, be is the person. II is
generally conceded that he is more thor
oughly posted in the various departments
by the city and its government than any
one is or can become with less experiences
than himself. All agree that he can be
fully relied upon as Mayor, and a large
number make him their frs! choice foI
that Office.
Without intending to disparage the
claims of others, it would seem that We
should concentrate upon him, who, all
admit, Ia the best posted in regard to city
matters, who is fully to the crisis, and
who will make the most efficient and &C
cep,able Mayor. Otherwise, we may have
foisted upon US one who is either or both
inefficient and unacquaiuted with the bu'
siness of the city, JUNIUs.
