Reason of the Movements of United
kfalRS TrnnnS.

Reason of the Movements of United
states Troops.
The movement Of United States troops
down the East Tennessee and Georgia
railroad on Friday gave rise to the rumor
that the general government were
about interfering in Tennessee affairs.
The ignorant Stokesites were very jubi-
liant over the expected streak of good
luck. To relieve their minds and to as
sure the friends of universal suffrage that
the United States government has no de-
sire to interfere with the free expression
of the peoples will, we give the explana-
tion of this military movement:
Some time last winter Congress passed
an act for the consolidation of the forty
five regiments of the army, so as to
make but twenty-five. 1t was decided
that the 14th and 45th regiments should
be fused together into one regiment, to
be called the Nth. The old l4th, how
ever, was on duty at this time in Arizona,
and Of course it took long time to send
the command word, and to make the
necessary arrangements for their relief,
so that they might join the other regi-
ment. In fact, it was only just now that
the Arizona command has been able to
report at the consolidating point.
Those people who noticed the arrlva
of soldiers Saturday and Sunday, and
connected Herewith any political signiii
cance, were very wide Of the mark

THE CROPS.

The promise that ''seed time and har-
vest shall never fall" is being fulfilled in
a bountiful manner just now, despite the
croakings we heard week or to ago.
We have, within two days past, talked
freely with several parties, N no way in
terested in the grain trade, but whose
business at this season Of the year takes
them into the grain fields among the far
mers, and on whose words we can place
implicit confidence, and their report is
that throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Northern gowa, (and they have been
over all this sectiop), where harvest
is Just commencing, the crop Of wheat,
oats and other small grain, is really enor-
nous, and promises yield far IN
excess of any harvest for many years
past, besides being in average far more
extensive than ever before. Roads are
drying up, and fields that week ago
were sloughs, are now fit to bear up
machinery. Men are laying aside their
cradles, and putting in use thestens ol
thousands ofreapers the great Northwest
possesses, and in a short time the crop
that seemed doomed to certain destruc"
ton, will be safely gathered beyond the
reach of injury. Corn, too, is growing
with amazing vigor now, and acres upon
acres that were considered poor and
sickly, will tell different tale before
| October.
The change effected during the last
ten days is almost miraculous, and the

ratification Of the fifteenth amendment
should be followed by an act of universal
amnesty and the enfranchisement fof tie
Southern people," The Republicans Ct
Mississippi, Radical and "Conservative"
are agreed upon this point, which COM
mands the almost undivided approval of
the Republican press throughout the
country. By Identifying himself with
prescription, Stokes runs counter to Re-
publican feeling in other States, and so
comedies 10 Senter the vantsge ground.
With regard to theffteenth amendment,
there is no difference between the candi-
dates. Senter has avowed himself its adj
voclte in decided terms, asserting that its
adoption by the Tennessee Legislature is
dictated by Justice, sound policy and wise
statesman hiT." In this respect, therefore,
he is unobjectionable.
Mr.. BoutwelPs letter, then, seems to us
a mistake-a mistake that is all the more
serious because involving reflections upon
the patriotism of the Republican support
ers of Senter, the leaders of whom have
built up the Republican party in Tsnnes-
see, and stood by it when Stokes was
seliishly calculating the chances. 1t is mot
prudent or just for the Secretary of the
Treasury to interfere between Republicans,
and least of all TO accompany interference
with imputations upon those of them who
have espoused the cause Of Scatter There
is no valid reason for identifying the ad-
minisiration 18th the triumph Of one can
didate or the other. Both being RepGbli.
cans, with q large Republican following,
the interest of the administration and Of
the party will be best promoted by the
maintenance of neutral attitude at Wash
ington. Th,re may be little apparent
improperly in an expression of preference
for Stokes, bat is it desirable to make enc
mics of the Sentsr Republicans, who will
in all probability carry the State?

New YORK, July 30.-E. A. Pollard in
letter to the Sun about the Virginia cleo
tion says: Paradoxical as it may appear,
it is nevertheless accurately true that an
intelligent party in the South regard the
Virginia election as unfayorable 10 the in
terests of their cause, for the very reason
that the best men in the South have thus
been called into Office and assumed the
exercise of power. 1t is the very respecta'
biliiy of the succe sful candidates, that is
fatal blow to their aspirations; since the
war, there has hOgered IN the South sen-
timent preserving something Of political
school and public sentiment distinctively
Southern; it means the disintegration of
anything like peculiar Southern civiliZa-
ton; the abandonment at last by the iulel-
Iigence and respectablity of the South of
the hope of rescuing anything considerable
from the ruins of its old institutions, Of
opposil iol 10 the course of reconstruction
looking for a reac ioa, or assuming TO let
reconstruction go TO the most exaggeratlng
extremity, hoping that il might be damned
up by the difficulties II would accumulate
for itself.

the power of tie government, aud within
the requirements Of the law of Congress,
to administer on their integrity, TO set
aside those men who cannot take the
oath, because Of participation in the

participate and lost the voles OF the elecs

Further Particulars of IA Bloody
Steamboat Riot

steamboat A1Ot-
CHICAGO, July 30-The following are
the particulars Of the bloody riot which
occurred on board the steamer Dubuque,
on the Mississippi river: One hundred
and fifty raftsmen came on board the boat
at Davenport, and the clerk ordered two
Of the negro deck hands to stand guard
at the gangsway, and not let any one
pass without his permission. Gao OF the
raftsmen tried to pass the guard and
make his way to the cabin, when the
deck hands ordered him back until his
ticket was examined by the clerk. he
not liking this commenced pitching into
the deck hands, who got the best OF hun,
when the Taftsmen, 10 the number oi
over one hundred, came to his rescue,
stabbing and beating the two deck hands
till about dead, and then throwing them
into the river. They then made an as~
sault on the rest of the deck crew, sue
ceeding in killing three more Of them and
throwing their bodies into the river. One
of The raftsmen was also killed, making
six in all killed. As soon as Hampton,
Missouri, was reached, Captain Rhodes
landed the boat, when the raftsmen drove
the deck crew ashore, injuring seve al OF
them with stones. As soon as this was
over, they went aboard the boat and or
dered the Captain to proceed up the
river or they would burn his boat. lie
being in their power and fearing they
would carry their threat into execution,
headed the boat up stream, and in the
mea ntime telegraphed to the Sheriff OF
Rock Island, who chartered an extra
train and left with large force of men,
well armed. They overlook the boat at
Clinton, and Immediately took possession
of her and started for Rock Island. On
their arrival at Rock Island, there were
over 5000 persons on the river bank, to.
gether with the crew who had been
driven off the boat, and with their as
sistance succeeded in recognizing forty
two of the men, who were taken to jail
under a strong guard. A large police
force is posted about the jail, and no
further trouble is expected. Rock Island
is full Of raftsmen who came ashore, but
an extra force of policemen has been
stationed about the city, and it is thought
all will be quiet for the night.
