TOBACCO PROSPECTS, Mr.. J. NJ.
Buckner, of the firm of Hale, Buck
ner 4 Terrell, of this city, has just re-
turned from n trip through the
Clarksville region, and reports rather
adversely rs to the growing crop of
tobacco In that section. There was
not the usual breadth of ground
planted this Spring on account of q
scarcity of plants and labor; and after
the crop was planted much of the
planting was destroyed by the cut
worms, and the present stand Is very
small, and refuses to grow at all. In
many ncighborhoods the crop has suf-
tered for want Of rain and proper cul-
uvation, and unless n copious shower
soon visits the parched fields the
crop will be almost an entire failure.
MIR. Buckner is of the opinion that
the crop in that region will not exceed
that OF '87.-P1dUcah Herald.

A Clean sweep De,nnudeo.

. The Paris Intelligencer makes the
following call for Radical revolu-
tionary constitutional convention as
early as possible: I.s ....t..'.
I" The voice which the people has
uttered gives forth no uncertain
sound. 1t demands the early assem-
blage ola convention of delegates for
the purpose of amending the organic
law, or indeed, if deemed advisable,
to make new constitution out and
out. That, however, is for the con-
yention to decide upon after it assem-
Dies. Besides the great question of
suffrage with which ii will have to
deal there are other and vital impor-
tant subjects which must demand
immediate action"
The Intelligencer then goes on to
remark: ''r |..t
The Augean Stables must be
cleansed-the Executive, Legislative
and Judicial and we will still add
another, Fayoritism of all kinds must
be abandoned. Why should Offices
be created simply to give partisan
tavorite a place with fat salary OF
what need is there of one-half or more
of the various judicial officers of the
state? Invest the judicial office with
good and sufficient salaries, so that
the best talent can afford to be en-
ployed as judges, and give them suf-
licient territory and labor to merit
the salary. DO away with the office
Of County Superintendent of the
school fund. Abolish, in n word,
every unnecessary Office, and consol-
idate where public necessity and JUS
tee. suggest n manifest propriety.
Endow no more railroads with the
loan of the bonds of the State, and
sell every railroad in the State that
fails to pay its interest to the public
treasury, rs the law directs.

THE ELEtTION.

loiThc election Of Governor Sentcr.
by such an overwhelming majority.
tenciies one truth often announced I'm
this State, but never fully appreci-
atod until of recent years - "That
laws were made brittle people, and
not the people for the laws" The
reverse of this proposition has been
. the rule in this State for four years.
Now, how changed! The people
hive their State Governmental their
hands one more. They have defeat
ed and consigned to eternal oblivion
the proscriptionists. i ')es ap
llaGoy. Senter is elected by the unpar-
alleled majority of about 10000, and
the Legislature is more than two
thirds liberals. The cry of the &c En-
gle" bouncing upon its prey will
never mOfo belheard within the Dor.
ders Of our State. Theproseriptionists
are buried so deep that Gabriel,s
trump will not awaken them! We
have great reason to be proud of our
victory. A new era In the history of
our State dawns upon us. The bay-
onet age has passed away. White
men are free, and peace and order
reign. In 9i n' H,ae
In this hour of triumph letus show
mercy and charity to our foes "Nyitb
malice toward none, and charity for
iali," let us win our foes to our sup
port. Let the mantle Of silence rest
upon the misdeeds of our enemies
and every citizen, whether in public
orprivate stations, do all he can TO
heal the wounds and dissensions of
tire past, and to push the State on n
career OF material prosperity and hap
-pihess. The lives, property and vested
rights of all men should be carefully
guarded by wise legislation. A prac-
tical system of immigration should
DO fostered. The public roads-the
great life arteries Of the State should
command the wisest deliberations.
The charlottesville peoples ark
should he guarded from all fraud and
violence. The mineral, agricultural
ana manufacturing resources of the
state should receive the fostering
care of the State. Ira word, let the
tomahawk of war be buried, and
smoke the "pipe of peace"

IMPORTANT MISSION Hon. Frank P.
Dugan starts overland for the States within
few days, for the purpose of delivering a
series of lectures in the cities ofChicago, New
York, Boston, Cincinnati, - and other cities
of the East, upon the climate, mining, and
agricultural resources, scenery, and other in
cidents of the North Pacific Coast, with a
view of laying before the laboring millions Of
those cities, the advantages of Oregon and
Washington for permanent homes, and also
inducing capitalists to take hold and build
our Railroads, and thereby furnish us and
the large, anticipated influx of population
with markets for our vast surplus products.
Mr.. Dugan is an able and fluent speaker, aud
having resided in this city for the past
seven years, having frequently visited every
portion of the country about which he pro.
poses to speak, we are confident that his
visit will be mutually advantageous to the
people of this country and those to whom he
imparts the vast stores of useful knowledge
which he has in years of personal observa'
tiOns and research acquired, concerning this
Valley, and the adjoining Territory of Idaho'
as we'll as the State of Oregon. On the con-
clusion of his lecturing tour, Mr.. D. proposes
to publish pamphlet for distribution, con-
tanning reliable information, statistics, &c
and which will be largely circulated in the
Atlantic States, and must be the means of
attracting to these shores vast influx of
immigrants. Papers in the cities named
above, as we'll as throughout the country,
are requested to give notice of Mr.. DIS. com.
ing, and thus secure for him that full attend.
ance at his lectures which their Importance
demands.
