The PRICE OF CoRY-A St. Louis merchant write

The PRICE OF CoRN.-A St. Louis merchant writes
as follows to customer in Columbus, Ga:
Corn is sure to rule higher and if l were to attempt
to make figures, they would hardly be credited. Nv
opinions are based upon the following facts: The
Commissioner Of Agriculture says that the corn crop
in every section of the country has been the prey Of
numerous Ills Only six States show an average crop.
de puts the loss in Virginia at 40 per cent Maine,
Vermont, Maryland, North and South Carolina Ten,
nessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin,
at 80 to 40 per cent. Rhode Island, Alabama, Mis-,
souri, and California to 10 pen cent, or about one
hundred and fifty million bushels less than full crop.
THIS looks like high before next spring. Oats
Will, to some extent sympathze with corn in price
Again. the large orders now received from South Car
ohna' georgia and Alabama confirm me in my views

| HE RABBIs IN CONFERENCE.-The convention Of
Jewish Rabbs reassembled in Philadelphia on the 9th
at the residence Of Rev. DR.. Hirsch At the opening
of the session Rev. Dr. Hrsch called the attention OF
the Conference to the death of the great philantbro.
plst, George Peabody, and warmly eulogizpg him,
moved that the Conference express its sympathy.
The President seconded the motion in fitting express
sions, and requested the Convention to RISE in token
OF respect, which was unanimously acceded to, and
that the proceedings be entered on the official
minutes. The following resolutions were passed:
The dissolution of marriage pronounced by civil
court is of full validity in the eyes of Judaism if the
Judicial documents furnish evidence that both parties
have consented thereto where the court issues how
ever decree of divorce by constrant against one or
the other parties, Judaism recognizes the validity of
such divorce only if the grounds on which such
decree Is issued are deemed sufficient in accordance
with the spirit of the Jewish religion. 1t is recon-
mended, however, chat the deciding rabbi obtain the
concurrence of competent men.
The decision of the question whether the husband
or the wife is to be declared in doubtful cases, az
dead or lost is to be left to the courts 1t was there
fore resolved:
The command to marry the wife of deceased bro.
Their and OF taking off the shoe has lost for US all un
derstandlng, all validity and binding force
further-The male child of Jewish mother is by
Its birth not less than the female in accordance with
principal never disputed in Judaism, member of
the Jewish community.
The following propositions were adopted:
The benediction now in is to be replaced by one
which fully expresses the moral elevation of the mar
rled state and emphasizes the biblical idea of the
fusion OF man and woman into one personality and
the Divine prohibition of illegal intercourse.
Polygamy is in direct opposition to the idea of mar.
rage. The marriage of man with second wife can
be as little valid therefore, and as little claim the
sanction of ecclesiastical authorities as the marriage
OF woman already married to another man is to be
considered null and void
The Conference then adjourned to meet in Cincn.
natl next year.

The Administration is putting forward a variety OF

fuencng northern elections Some of these grossly
inaccurate, asis shown in table published by the As

WARMorH ON THE WAR PATH,-Our long, lean
ank, imported Governor appears have got bis dan
der up and started out again the path to hunt
up and demolsh the State Auditor. We copy as fol-
lows from the Bulletin
1t was but few months ago that his Exceency
made desperate effort to eject the Auditor from his
office, and but for the fact that it was generally be-
leved the treasury Of the State would be best pro-
tected against the ravages of the Executive by keep
ing Wicklite Objectionable he was to our people,
in office, the move would have been successful 1t
seems now the attempt is to be renewed and for sew
era days past the Governor has been very ndustrousy
engaged with the Grand Jury making out case
against the Auditor Has the Auditors exposition of
the issue of State bonds and cancelled coupons by the
Governor anything to do with this prosecution? Does
the Governor consider the Auditor an "impedment y
requiring removal or reconstruction If the Governor
comes IN possession OF the Auditors office what will
become of the State? As affairs are at present ad-
mnisered we are suffering enough. Let them not be
made worse before the next election when we will
have deal and new hand

BEEF PACKED AT SHREVEPORT CODY as follows

Efforts should be made this season to enlarge GU,

by heavy losses, to abandon it, Shreveport now has

towns on the Pacific Road. There is certainly no rea
son why Texas should not send out hundreds of thou

IN warm climate as during the summer vet in

Though matters not who gets the beef yet it were
preferable that it should be mostly taken direct by
English buyers, for many reasons.

tended for by the merchants Of Shreveport and New

at work. You need not be alarmed. Mr.. News about
