CONDITION OF THE CROPS-FAEsN
WAGES.

The monthly report of the Department
of Agriculture is to- be issued in few
DAYS. The Newark advertisers special
Washington correspondent gives the fol-
lowing facts and figures from the forth
coming report: The figures show much
larger reduction than was noted year
ago in most of the products of the farm.
The fall in wheat has marked an era in
the history of prices of this grain. In
the New England States, where the
prices ranged from 81 to 2.42, the aver
ages now range from 81. 40to1 .63. In New
York the reduction is from $2.0S to 1.37;
in Ohio from $165 to 1.03; in Illinois
from S1.2O to 76c; in Iowa from csc to
SIC. The price of corn has fallen in
New England from the average of $l.4
to that of $1.O3; Pennsylvania frog 81
to 92c; while in Ohio the price has in
creased from COO to re; in Illinois from
43c to SIC, and in Iowa from SIC to SOC.
The price of corn has increased through
out the West, except in Minnesota, Ne
| braska and Kansas.
The average rate of wages for all farm
laborers, as shown by these returns, is
$25.13 per month without board, and
$l5.S8 with board. The following is a
statement of average wages for the diff
ferent sections of the country, as COM

THE SUPREME COURT,

Chancellor East and Gen. Sneed'
To the Editors of the Union and American:
If the new Constitution is adopted
there will have to be two Judges of the
Supreme Court elected from Middle Ten
nessee. l suggest for the consideration
of the public, the name of Judge Ed. ii.
East of your city. His peculiar fitness
for the position is well known to all who
are acquainted with his reputation as
lawyer and as Judge. He is in the full
vigOr of manhood with mind of thor
ough legal training. / am sure that with
his natural abilities and mental acquire
ments he would soon confer honor on the
elevated Office. LEX.
TO the Editors of the Union and American:
The new Constitution provides for a
greater number of Judges than heretofore
composed the Supreme Court-who are
TO be elected from the three Divisions of
the state. Gen. John L. I. Sneed, for
mer Attorney General and Reporter, will
| be called upon by the Bar of West Ten
nessee to become member of that exalted
| Bench. Having known Gen. Sneed for
| many years personally ANU III SOhlONIloll
with the Jurisprudence of the State,
know that he would adorn the position.
| Recently, when there was prospect of a
vacancy in the Supreme Court the Mem
phis AUdLdnche, referred to him in that
connection in the following terms ex-
pressive of the sentiments of the feelings
| of the Western District:
'Judge Alvin Hawkins, of the SUI
preme Court of this State, not long since
rendered his resignation, but afterwards
withdrew the same. Amongth members
of the bar recommended for the vacancy
was John L. T. Sneed, of Fayette, late
Attorney General of Tennessee. Gen,
Sneed, after the adoption of the new
Constitution, will doubtless he brough
forward by the bar, bench and people a.
a candidate, whether the election be by
the people or by the Legislature. Th'
spotless purity OF his private as well a.
public character; his legal attainments
lis acknowledged fitness for the position
on account of his temperament, habit
and abilities; his public career as Law
Reporter of the State, all unite in recon
mending him so powerfully that his cleo
ton will be hailed by the people"
