DISTURBANCE AT ROME.

LONDON, Dec. ll.-An ARRAY occurred on

The disturbance, which At one time threatened
serious riot, was speedily quieted by the inter
ference OF the Italian authorities. The m N

THE CROPS OF THE STATEs.-The corn crop of the
country is estimated at rather under than over
the previous year-more acres planted, but smaller
yield. The crop of New England fell off largely. In
the Eastern States the crop was reduced by the
drouth. That of the Southern States is an average
one and in Texas above the average of any ten years
In the Western States the product is about equal
last year, by of increased area planted. The
States reporting increase last year Mime,
sofa, Missouri Florida Nebraska Kansas, Texas and
California.
The cotton yield is ten per cent. above that of 1885,
or about 2,700,0Oo bales. larger area was plant
ed But in the seacoast States, in Texas, Louisiana
and Tennessee, the falling off is reported as consider
able. Arkansas alone has made full average crop.

MExIco.-The pulse of Mexico beats no better. Gen.
Alatorre, the best of all the Mexican Generals in &C.
tive service has resigned his command it is said from
inability to suppress the Pueba rebellion in which the
irrepressble Negree has reappeared. This bad news
is supplemented by the fact that Gen. Bocardo, the
most active and earnest pursuer and killer of bandits
in Mexico has been put to death by the Pueba rebels
whose friends he has often shot. Mexico has thus
lost two of her most vigorous soldiers, and this
time when she could least spare them. The progress
which the revolution in San Luis Potos has made in
creases the gravity of these occurrences. To the
other recent losses of Mexico may add that of Fran
cisco Zarco of the abest journalists of Spanish
America, and formerly Premier in the Cabinet of Mr.
Juarez

TRADE WITH ST LOUISA St. Louis correspondent
writing to the Pcayune, thinks that New Orleans has
rather got the best of that city in the contest for the
Red river trade He thus writes
You have blocked US out of profitable trade which
we tanced the past year had secured us, and which
these SAID facilities were to make more than sure.

also Inquired some for the Ouachta river business But
we md that New Orleans has stepped in and reaken
what she formerly controlled While we have silent,
your merchants have set firm grip on the trade of

RAILROAD FROM New ORLEANS TO TExAs.-The
Times, in urging the Importance of this road upon the
citizens of New Orleans, says:
The importance of an early connection by railroad,
of this city with Texas is every day becoming more
urgent and pressing upon people. The immense
influx of population, Of capital and enterprise into
that State and the corresponding prospective increase
of production, supply new aud additional incentives to
the prosecution of this great work 1t ought not to
be delayed. More than hundred thousand persons
have poured into Texas in the last twelve months.
The value Of the New York trade with the Texas ports
is now estimated at sixty millions of dollars
Threefourths of that trade would be drawn to this
city if we had direct railroad connections Besides
large amounts of the valuable productions of the State
are drawn into the Western States through other lines
of transportation than by the way of New Orleans,
which ought to be the depot of the whole exports Of
the State. Now it is shame and a disgrace to our
State that we should not quickly secure this railroad
connection Even at large sacrifices it ought to be
done: The completion of such a road would increase
largely the valuation of our real estate Instead off
one hundred and twenty it would rapidly run I'd to
two hundred and forty millions of dollars

Ice CRoP.-St. Louis merchants report that the
weather does not hold out very faterng prospects for
heavy supply of ice. A little has been cut there,
which has been consumed by pork dealers and brewers
Portions of it show thickness of four and half in
ches. On the Illinois river ice has been cut averaging
nine inches, and at Dubuque it is fully ten inches in
thickness 1t is not believed that the crop will be less
than last season. but it certain it will not exceed it.

NEFARIoUs SCHEME CoNCoCTING.-A correspondent
If the New Orleans Times the Democratic mem
hers of the Legislature that there is plot against the
rights and liberties of their constituents and calls upon
them to be on the alert and when developed, defeat
it at all hazards-tells them that the plea of inability
or lack of numbers will not pass current in an emerg-
ency like this. He continues:
That this diaboica conspiracy is to be cloaked with
the semblance of legality, by being forced through
under the party lash and previous question gag, there
can be but little doubt The same thing attempted
last session. but was defeated by the pluck of one rep
resentatve who could neither be bulied nor bribed
This time the conspiracy will up under different
guise, one that will not so plainly exhibit its true
features as did the one of last session. It will no
doubt be so shaped to avoid any interference on the
part of the courts to prevent from being carried into
successful operation. The metropolitan police and
the militia will be relied TO prevent any interference
OF the part of the people, There is evidently desire
on the part of some of the leading members OF the
majority in the Legislature to bring about state of
things in Louisiana similar to that which prevailed in
Tennessee for time. They had better beware how
they tamper with the forbearanee of this people,
they may add to the list of those who sowed to the
wind and harvested the whirlwind.
To those who have observed the course of the lead
ing consprators during the present session of the Leg
slature, there is evident signs of mischief brewing
The proposed amendment of the constitution for the
removal of all political disabilities was bua tub to the
whae--a blind to cover up their real designs. Ut
what benefit is the elective franchise, if the re-
suit of elections is to be decided by reckless unscrupu
Gus partsans who manipulate the returns to suit
their purposes? If the peoples representatives
fail refuse to protect their rights and liberties in this
emergency they may take matters into their own hands
Should they be forced to this last resort will be
sorry day for those who have betrayed their confidence,
tramped upon their rights and outraged their manhood

true cause for this instance of lynch law places the
Pillows as monstrous ends and deserving punishment
adequate to the crime but we do and must condemn
the mob violence by which they were deprived of life
