SEWER COUNTY, ARKANsAs.--A friend writes to lis
as follows, under date of the 10th u: Crops are very
fine in this county. The much dreaded worm has not
made its appearance in sufficient numbers to inure the
cotton crop to any extent, consequently we will make
all We can gather. Corn is good in fact such crops
were raised in this county in proportion to the
amount of land in cultivation.

The SCARCITY OF MoNEY.-Money appears to be very
scarce all over the country. Some account for it one
way and some another, but for our part we must ad
nit that are in the dark. The New Orleans Bulle
tin says 1t Is not the result OF hurryng cotton TO mar
ket much as Of the demand for money in tue int
rior for the payment of labor In crop gathering the
world over, laborers are more clamorous for frequent
and prompt settlements than at any other time. The
wages for the gathering of the present crop must be
paid in proportion as it is gathered. This artificial
and temporary scarcity of money Of course has its i'm
mediate and depressing effect upon prices but the eff
feet will be transient the cause. Let the want Of
funds for wages become fairly known and it will soon be
remedied 7-.

trust Texas will not be slow to follow. Radical cor

Governor Senter and the legislature were elected
upon platform embodyng to clear distnctness the
main plank in the fifteenth amendment 1t twas main
plank in the platform-a ralying point and ralying
cry Senter is still for it, but the elected with
him upon the ticket and upon the platform not.
He the head of the ticket, but the tail greater
than the head for the head is merely fgurehead and
the tail is power. The governor is little than
gubernatoral ornament preside at receptions, par
don convics, and board in Nashville. The power is
all in the Legislature, and they will not it to adj
venee favorite Republican measure, whether Gov.
Senter be its champion or not. He can recommend
that the amendment be adopted but his recommended
ton will have no other effect than attest the truth of
his otrepeated declarations, and the sincerity of his
motives For practical effect, he might as well urge
the adoption of the marriage laws Of Massachusetts,
the liquor laws of Maine.

LABOR CoMING.-The New Orleans Bulletin of the
27th says that the Saturday before, Of the Rec
river steamers had about eighty colored passengers
stout, healthy young North Carolinians their way
to two plantations on Bayou Robert, in the parish o.
Rapides. The agent who brings this welcome rein
forcement says he readily bring five thousand good
men from North Carolina and Virginia where crops
have failed and subsistence is hard to obtain. They
can be brought out at cost not exceeding twenty
dollars each. Many Of them desire to emigrate, and
only lack the means of transportation.
Now this is chance for some of our enterprising
planters to secure labor of that kind which they are
used to-. The crops have been short in Virginia, and
it takes but little nducemen to get the negroes to en-
grate. The various railway companies favor this move
men and charge the lowest fare that can be afforded
We agree with the Bulletin that during the next three
months many hundred good hands might be brought
out that the labor difficulty in State for the next
year would be sensbly aeviated. 4- s
