The Weather and the Crops.

j. r. Dodge, Statistician of the
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington, has made an important re.
port, showing the lain fall and mean
temperature of the month of June
and its probable effect upon the
crops, and instituting at the same
time comparison of the meteorolo-
gy of June, 1869, with that of Jnne.
1906:
With the exception of Florida. a
small belt of land between Washing.
ton and New York city, and incon.
siderable areas in Rhode Island and
Minnesota, the rain fall of June,
1869, has been very largely in excess
of what it was in June, 1868. In
Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and
Missouri, the fall of water was lit
tie more than doubled. The TEN.
perature, also, was from to I de.
grees lower. In the Southern States
the temperature was not reduced, but
there was much more than the usual
quantity of rain.
The effect upon the wheat crop

THE PUBLIG nERT.


We are so often met, by Demo.
cratic croakers, with the statement
that we cannot, if we would, pay of
the debt Of the country, that we
have long since ceased to endeavor
to controvert the statement, consid.
ering it Misrepresentation SO plain,
and sophistry so barefaced as to be
unworthy serious consideration.
The statement, however, is being
vigorously used. by that party, to
educate its masses up to the point OF
repudiation, to which Democracy is
tending, and which nothing but a
wholesome fear of the honesty of
the American people prevents them
from openly declaring. The follow
ing extract from the New York 7fib-
une, is german to the matter in
point;
"One year ago we were making no
progress in the reduction of our Ma
tional Debt, had made none for
months, and were likely to make none
for months to come. Mr. Alex
Delmar, the leading Copperhead Free
Trade statistician, had recently put
forth a manifesto, at the suggestion,
and with the emphatic Endorsement
of Messrs. Wilson G.. Hunt, Henry
Grinnell & Co., showing, by elaborate
computations and marshaling of long
columns OF figures, that there would
be Treasury deficit of Sl75, 900, 900
on the first day of this present July.
And as nothing but a rebel victory
ever exhilarated the sham Democra-
cy like prospect of national Dank-
ruptcy, the Horld had surrendered
many columns to Delmar's exhibit,
and the Democratic press had every
where hailed it with exultation as q
sure premonition of future national
distress, discredit, and humiliation.
One year has passed, and with it
the rule of Andrew Johnson. The
thieves whom he installed
in power over our great Custom -hou-
ses, with the lesser villains to whom
he largely confded the collection of
Internal Revenue, have been dis
missed to the obscurity for which
they should feel SO grateful, and Re-
publicans appointed to fill their
places. The laws are the same as
ever-there has been no change cal
culated to increase the revenue or
essentially reduce the expenditures !;
yet the revenue Is increased, while !
the expenditures are reduced, so that
We are paying off nearly ten millions I
per month OF the principal of our
1ebt, after discharging every current
obligation, including the payment Of
over ten millions per month of inter-
est in coin."
We may add that this favorable
exhibit of our finances will enable
he Secretary In a short time to fund
he greater portion of the debt at a
'ate OF interest that will save from
'wenty to thirty millions interest an
lually. to be paid on the principal

In view of this state of things, the
predictions of financial ma

A SOUTHERN paper, published at
Savannah, thus coolly dismisses the
Northern Democracy:
"However strong may be the
claims of the Northern Democracy
upon us, the South would be foolish
to pin her faith to the skirts of any
such party. They cannot take care OF
Memselces at home, much less should
they be trusted with the vast inter.
ests we have at stake"
This is very chivalrous. The
poor abject souls who have bowed
their heads IN the dust at the behest
of the slave power, who clung to the
sinking fortunes of that institution to
the bitter end of treason to the gov
ernment, and who, in the struggle
for the stlost cause" did not desert
their allies, but rejoiced at their
victories and sorrowed at their de.
feats, are now no longer needed.
Could ingratitude go further?

PRESIDENT GRANT, a few days
since, betook himself to Long Branch,
hoping thereby, no doubt, to secnre
a little rest and recreation. But he
has realized ere this that there is no
escape from the hungry politicians
One day we learn that Ex-Governor
Hahn, OF louisiana, has gone to Long
Branch TO see the President. The
next day it is influential Repub-
licans from Mississippi,an and the next,
Judge Dent, prospective conserva-
tive Governor Of the last named
State.
Nor are his troubles confined to
the reception of visitors. His Sec
retaries, Boutwell, and Creswell, IN
his absence, have committed his ad-
ministration to the support Of Sto-
ker, in Tennessee. In addition to
this, he must be annoyed by the silly
dispatches which are published daily
with regard to his sayings and do
ings. As a fair specimen of these
we give the following Newport tel
egram, without vouching for its accu-
racy:

CHINESE LABOR.

WE cannot regard the recent La
Dor Convention at Memphis, for the
purpose of introducing Chinese Ia
bor upon the plantations of the
South, in any save an unfavorable
light.
In the first place, there is no want
of laborers in the South. In the
next place, it will, perhaps, be diff
cult to induce these Cinnamon to
leave the Celestial Kingdom for the
prospect of slavery in the South
The Cleveland Leader has this to say
on the subject:
can unexpected impediment to the
latest modification of the slave trade
has been discovered. A convention
of southern planters met at Memphis
and agreed to form a society for the
of Chinese into this
country. That class Of labor will be
cheap, chesper than can be obtained
elsewhere. A man appears on the
scene and engages to import any re-
quired number for a certain compen-
sation. When these coolies arrive
of course they will be treated as
slaves, will in fact be slaves. How
they are to be induced to leave their
native land does not yet appear
The Chinese have not been generally
known as great travellers and it is
that they are not colonists.
A goodly number are now in Cali
fornia, some of their own accord,
others imported, but their customs
are such as not to allow them to live
far inland, and one in particular
would keep them near the coast, viz
the superstition which will not al
low a Chinaman to be buried on for
eign soil. The block to this nice
little game is the instruction of
Congress to our representatives in
China making it their duty to see
hat those who emigrate to this coun-
Try do so OF their own free will"

CIynys. ECCL LESIASTICAL COURTS,

CIVIL VS.. ECGLESlASTlGALG GUUhIS.
A peculiar and somewhat impor-
tant trial is in progress in Chicago.
Rev. c. E. Cheney, of the Episcopal
Church, was arraigned before an
ecclesiastical court, by the Bishop OF
his diocese for emitting to use the
words "regenerate" and "regenera-
tion" in the administration of the
ordinance of infant baptism. The
rule of the church gives the bishop
the power to appoint the "assessors'
or jurors, who shall try the case,
who shall be clergymen, and as this
is doctrinal question upon which
the church is divided, it will be seen
that it Is impossible to select an
unbiased jury. Moreover, the rule
does not allow the jury to be interro-
gated, as in civil courts, whether or
not they have formed an opinion in
the case. Cnderthese circumstances,
Mr.. Cheney applied to and obtained
from the Superior Court Of Chicago,
aniniunetion staying proceedings, and
commanding the ecclesiastical court
to appear before the Superior Court,
to answer the complaint of the de-
fendant. This Intervention is sought
on the ground of the temporal injury
which will result to Mr.. Cheney, in
his salary, avocation and means of
livelihood, by deposition from the
Episcopal ministry.
The case, as it stands, is one of
interest, and the decision will be one
of importance to all churches. If, as
is claimed by Mr.. Cheney, and his
friends, ecclesiastical courts are ame-
nable to civil authority in the matter
of cleansing their church from that
which they deem heretical, it places
a bar upon the action of all ecclesi-
astical courts in like cases, and dis
senters will not only be allowed to
go "seot-free," but can compel the
church to whose doctrines they dis
sent, to retain them as part of their
body polite.

CONSEQUENCES OF NEGLECT

Those who indorse the stupid assertion that
"Catarrh will get well of itself" or Is durable
by snuffing or inhaling the nostrums in common
use will do well to remember that the tocGt dis'
ease dep, nds always upon JeT1nentdare conan

Medical writer's are wont to speak OF Catarrh
"A a simpIs local Inflammation, and both its i'm
nortance and rational treatment are either
wholly ignored or receive but passing notice
| from the general practitioner; and thus Catarrh
as surely predisposes 10 Consumption as does
the day precede the night, and is in fact the
prelude to that disease in eight cases out of ten.
The disease is everywhere prevalent people

heed to the popular fallacy that it is incurable,

until hope is dead, and life becomes mOckery,
when comes the stereOtyped and hackneyed adj.
vice of "a visit to the country" "a change OF
climate" "a sea voyage" "a return of health
| in tho spring, etc; but, alas the country re-
ierred to is that which lies beyond the confines
of the fostering grave and the spring is that
season which blooms eternal when LIES titful
fever is over.
Let those who doubt this portrayal of Catarrh
question the poor coHsumptive, whose sun OF
life is going down at noon or watch its progress
upon those wfo neglect its timely and judicious
treatment. 4 little while and We miss their
