Crops in Now England.
re New York Tribune says

The New 1Ork 1FtOnue says.
The Eastern States are suffering terribly
from drouth A few light showers have
fallen in many if not most localities, but
nothing like soaking rain since May, and
the intense, prOtracted heat OF the last Six
weeks has parched the ground to a depth OF
two or three feet, rolling the leaves OF
corn and rendering the pasturage OF no ac-
count. A good crop of rye has been secured
while Indian corn is very forward and safe
from injury by frost; but the yield will in
evitably be light. Hay, by far the most i'm
portant crop of this section. is at least
twenty-five per cent below an average
yield; SO that, if the winter be OF average
severity and duration, New England will
require an unusual quantity Of Western
corn to exc out her short supply OF fodder,
oats being equally deficient WITH hay. The
heavy tobacco crop of the Connecticut
Valley is looking well, though some OF that
latest planted on ground but shallowly
plowed and insufficiently MANFRED will
prove failure, unless rain shall fall very
soon.
Blackberries are cut short by the drouth,
while whOrtleberries in many sections are
completely dried up, SO that not only is the
fruit lost. but the bushes appear to be
killed. OF wheat, very little is grown. but
that little returns an average crop. POta-
toes were extensively planted, and the
quality bids fair to be excellent, but the
Weld will not exceed twO-thirds OF an aver
age crop. OF apples, the quantity will ex-
coed an average, but they will generally be
small.
On the whole. the farmers of New Eng
land will be apt to consider 1870 hard
year. The observations on which the above
report is founded did not extend to the
States of Rhode Island and Maine, but we
believe they are suffering with the others.

state Convention.

The Republican State Convention meets
in New Orleans on Monday next. to nondi-
nate candidates, elect new State Executive
Committee, and adopt platform of prin-
ciples npon which to go before the people
this fall. The success Of the party depends
largely upon the action of this convention.
The country looks to it for the enunciatiOn
of live progressive principles. We COM
mend the following subjects for its earnest
consideration:
l. The abolition, or at least the restriction
Of special legislation.
2. A uniform system of taxation for landed
property, which shall not discriminate
against the producer in favor OF the large
landed proprietor.
B. Opposition to all monopolies, and to
granting special privileges.
d. The securing of more equitable repre-
sentation, by the adoption OF some plan TOR
minority representation.
5. Universal amnesty
BY, reasserting the principles of former
platforms, and incorporating the above, OF
majority of them, there would not be
power enough in the State to defeat us this
fall

The July number of the Western 1ns'u-

The July number of the Western lns'r-
ance Recielr, has this to say of complaints
against New Orleans adjustments:
Complaints are heard among cargo COM
panies relative to the treatment they receive
In the matter Of general average at New
Orleans. 1t is asserted that averages are
claimed and adjusted upon the smallest pre-
text, and that charges which would be
thrown out in st. Louis, are allowed at that
mort with the most astonishing eagerness.
We are aware that for several years the in
terests involved, which are opposed to the
underwriters, have been gaining vantage
ground slowly but surely. Claims which, a
few wears ago, would have been paid by the
owners of steamers, are now set up as basis
for general average adjustments, and are
paid by the cargo companies. What is more
singular still, it is northumberland that
New Orleans is the best port for the opera
ton of forcing payment from underwriters,
and the result is that every claim which
goes to New Orleans is a sure thing for the
steamboats,, and equally sure for the com
panies, with this difference, that the latter
are compelled to pay, whereas the boats es-
cape. provoking feature in the adjust
ment Of average is the length OF time re-
| quired for their settlement. There are
cases pending now nearly q year old, and
| the rule appears to be that everybody must
be paid except the underwriters.
