d, The New. York Herald publishes
reports from every section of the
country, giving, as it claims, the most
reliable data upon which to base a
safe calculation in regard to the pros
pccts of the coming crops. Com
mcnting on these reports it remarks
at appears, no doubt with sincere
ratification. that the auguries for an
abundant, If not an unprecedented
harvest were never more striking
and encouraging. In the South the
harvesting has already commenced
under very flattering auspices, al
though in Virginia there is a little
complaints on account of wet weather.
But it is happens that, while the wet
weather in measure interferes with
the work Of outstanding the cereals, it
has nourishing effect upon the ten
der tobacco plants, so that what is
lost in one way will be gained in
another. Among the most interes-
ting features in this agricultural eX-
bibit is the fact that. the South has
been blessed to an unexampled degree
in the prospective luxuriant yield OF
its staple and cereal products, parti-
tularly i'm Tennessee.

and Conservative. But there are
persons belonging to the latter who
desire to build up third party. It
may be the purpose of some of these
to bring together the scattered Gle
mcnts of the old Wing party. Should
they succeed, what do they expect to
gain? Always in the minority be-
fore the war, do they expect now to
absorb all the elements Of opposition
to Radicalism? To do this, they
must have organization, and to keep
it up, they must have candidates, and
when thus prepared to take the field,
they will find themselves confronted
by the Radicals and flanked by all
opposed to such a division of forces
and the result of the conflict will be a

From the London News, JuneSI
We print to-day a letter which Mr..
Goodwin Smith has addressed to Mr..
Disracli. The author of +" Lothair' is
probably by this time convinced thathe
made political and literary mistake
when he published that strange story.
But mistake is the severest word that
can be used with respect to the great
er portion of its contents. Whatever
may be thought of Mr.. Disraeli's
sketches from the life of his own
Duke and Duchess, of Cardinal Gran
olson, of Monsignor Catcsby, or, as
ono reading has il, Capel, and of,manv
other thinly disguised portraitures.
they do not trcspass beyond the con-
vcntional limits of social satire. There
is one line, however, which before dy-
ing Mr.. Disraei will, we trust, wish
to blot. He has drawn caricature
of an Oxford professor, under which,
lest his readers should fail to recog-
nizc the riginal, he has indirectly, but
intelligibly written. !" This is Mr..
Goodwin Smith, He has added, al
most i'm so many words, "Mr. Gold
win Smith is parasitic This calum-
nv, more ridiculous than what is else
more ridiculous in Mr.. Disraeli's fan

ed by its object when he denounces it

the vituperation of Runnymedc. Mr..
Disraeli has been engaged i'm many
wordy conflicts with Mr.. Goodwin
Smith. The fact that he has betakcn
himself i'm this solitary instance, to
poisoned weapons, shows a conscious
ness of having been foiled and worst
cd with more legitimate arms. He
calls Mr.. Goodwin Smith a parasite,
