Cotton is reported as looking fine,
and under the present fine weather,
Is rapidly maturing, and promises a
large yield. Corn Is doing finely and
is well advanced; great deal of it is
beginning to tassle. All other farm
ing interests are equally promising.
Pine Bluff Republican,, 12ih.
The prospect for crops is much
more promising. We have had ten
days of fine weather. From the best
information that we can obtain, we
think that the prospect for q cotton
crop Is not all gloomy, and the corn
crop will depend much upon the
length of the drought during the
months of July and August. Ham

The corn crop In this section OF
country, although little backward,
is doing very well indeed. The
wheat crop which Is now being har-
vested, is said to be very good for
this country. In reference to cotton,
we hear some complaint from our
farmers. The nights have been too
cool for this plant. But few warm
days and good growing shower will
bring it.out.-7dltahatchidn, 12th.
Crops are looking better, and seem
much improved over their condition
of a fortnight ago. But the prospect
Is not yet by any means fiattering,--
Cotton Is very backward, and the

We have been shown some fine
stalks of cotton, from different plat

our city gardens, that crop must also
be doing well In the country. The

good notice.-Etgdula NeDs, 10Th.

of the case, Clark, with a posse of

Politico- temperance.

The lOlitical temperance movement
has fallen still-born. Whatever there
might have been of enthusiasm in the
cause has been drowned out by the
cold donche of the ticket. Not a mar
i of prominence from first to last, not
even one of respectable mediocrity j!
Our temperance friends must do bet
ter than this if they expect to grow
into n great and successful party.
We hear of hut few of any party i'm
this vicinity, or i'll any part of the State,
who have ATTACHED themselye6to this
new movement. There are n few, n
very few, misguided though honest
Republicans, who still cling to it, but
the great body of Republican sympa.
tIisers drops off when they stop to
consider the tendency of the move
ment, and particularly when they see
the scarce-concealed delight of Democ-
racy, as they chuckle over the folly
which they fondly hope will bring
profit to them. The Shield would have
shouted "Glory Hallelujah !" last week
if it had been deemed prudent. AS it
was, any person with usual perceptive
faculties could see the CLEAN of joyous
hopefulness tibet lit up the countenance
ofthe editor as he penncd the little item
regarding the nominations and THE
IlERALD's t'leader" on the movement.
: Tile pretcnse of q few Democrats
joining the party is but a bait to catch
Republican gudgeons. They won't
stick any longer than is necessary to
fasten a few Republicans. You don't
gather grapes of thorns o. figs of
thistles." You cannot find true tenn
perance principle in a whisky-drinkiny
Democrat, or any other kind of a Dem
ocrat, for that matter. They are too
strongly welded to party. They may
''assume a virtue" for a political pur-
pose, but rest assured they shave it

How tender-footed! "The pretense'
of a few Democrats joining the party,
is but a bait to catch Republican gud-

Sambo as an American Citizen.

The Richmond Virginia papers re
port that the Conservative colored peo-
pie of that city are continually perse-
cuted by the negroes who went with
the Radical party at the recent cleo
ton. They are hooted at and pelted
in the streets J.; they have been expell-
ed from tue benevolent societies, and
threatened with accommodation from
fine churches. Some have been tur-
ned out of doors by their families, and
others have been warned that they will
not be allowed to live long enough to
vote the Conservative ticket again
On Sunday last a young colored man
who held the State flag at the recep-
ton of the Governor elect, was attack
ed by a crowd of men, and only saved
from serious and perhaps fatal injury
by the interference of q number of
white men; and IN the Second African
Church several Walker colored men
were Missed at their entrance.
Go it, Sambo! You may be a lit
tie rough in the use of your new-found
toy of political freedom /; but you are
not to blame. The great Radical par
ty-the party of progress and morality
-"made" you, and it is but natural
that you should look to it for instruc-
ton in running the political machine.
Being as clever as Jocko himself, in
imitation. you have got the chang" of
things, remarkably soon, and can now
prescribe and boot down, and club,
and stone, and maltreat generally, the
poor misguided wretches who don't
think and act exactly as you do, as
handily as your great moral white pro-
totypes-your teachers. Sambo, !ot|

The Virginia Election, From a Native
Point of View

Here is a philosophical, and not at
all discouragIng view of the Virginia
election, from the Richmond Enquirer:
We, here, certainly did not want
these things; We resisted them as long
as we could /; we think it was very un-
generous and very unjust to insist on
them; but they were insisted on, and
we have taken them and will make the
best of them. We shall find it a diff
ficult question to deal with, we know ;
but we have ut least demonstrated that
the negroes will not be the ruling DOW
er in the State. They will give us
trouble, and will largely influence leg
islation. The evil, however is a con-
stantly diminishing one. In the first
place at the next electian held all of
the persons (some $4,000 excluded
from Office by the fourteenth amend
ment, will have the right to vote, which
they did not have in the late election.
This will give the whites a clear ma.
iority of $4,000 over the negroes. In
the next place the whites will increase
in numbers by births much faster than
the blacks, and will not suffer so much
from disease. And lastly, we expect
immigrants from the North and from
Europe. The importance of the negro
in our politics will therefore steadily
diminish and the very knowledge on
his part that the whites can out-vote
him will make him far more tractable
than he has shown himself in the past
two years.

,romcter gives unmistakable indica.
tions that the financial squall which
has for some time past shown itself in
the horizon is about to burst upon us,
and the cry should be stake in sails.
We mea by this that the time ha:
arrived when every man unless he
be a government bondholder-to cur.
tail all unnecessary expenses and as
nearly as possible live strictly within
his income. The indications are that
produce of the farmer will be from
twenty-five to fifty per cent. lower this
year than last, while his taxes will re
main undiminished.
There is one universal cry concern.
ing the scarcity of money ; and while
the farmer, mechanic and ~day-laborer
car scarcely obtain money enough to
prosecute their vocations, Secretary
Boutwell, is calling in u circulating
currency each month, and thereby
making money still scarcer.
Had the Democratic policy of is
suing greenbacks to redeem govern
ment bonds been put in operation
twelve months since, we would not be
laboring under the embarrassment
we now are but we would have a suffi,
cient amount of money in circulation
upon which to transact u bushes;
and thereby give the mechanic EN-.

mercy of our leaders of the Radical
party and their hackers, the bondhold-
ers, all we can do is to take in sail,
remembering that: =
Large boats may venture more,
But little sails must keep close to shore
A very large majority our people
must curtail their expenses down to
the absolute necessities of life, or 60

The affhirs of our government were
SO administered by the Democratic
and Wing parties, as to produce the
greatest good to the greatest number ;
but since the Radicals have stolen the
power from the people the programme
is changed: all their Legislation tends
directly to make the rich richer, while
the poor are left to struggle with pow
erty and want, and to provide for the
necessities of their families as best

How to be Consistent.

We meet many Republicans who
frankly admit hat they are opposed
to negro suffrage but who, ncverthe-
less, are unwilling 10 abandon their
party: They say, that while they are
opposed to the fifteenth amendment
and a mongrel government, they can
consistently vote for, the men who
are nominated on thatplank, and who,
if elected, are bound to enforce that
doctrine on the people of Ohio IL: No
nan-can serve two masters at the saihe
time. If they are honestly opposed
to negro suffrage, and-a mongrel con
stitution, they are bound by all rules
of honor, to,vote against that iniquity,
- A large proportion Of the membefs
of that party are also opposed to high
tariffs, and to the consolidation theo5
ries of the Republican leaders, and
think that United States Bonds should
be taxed as other property. To be
consistent, they cannot vote the Re
publican ticket. Their place, is in the
ranks of the great Democratic party.
Vast numbers of Republicans also
believe with the Democracy, that the
Republican leaders, GRANT, included,
have violated all their pledges con-
corning reconstruction and admit that
the Southern States should have been
admitted to their places in the Union
long since. To be consis 'ent, this
class is also bound to vote with the.
Democracy, to rebuke the perfidy of
the Republican leaders, who have.
done mor to break up the Union,
than JEFF. DAVIS. q"
