TAXPAYER.

We shall take pleasure in answering
g6ntzsman5y communications like the
above. Although Tax Payer does not
complain of the present incumbent, we
draw differences from his questions de-
rogatory to the System" which we re-
present in an official capacity.
Next week we shall endeavor to make
lucid replies to his inquiries, which will
tend to set the System" right before the
public, promising, however, that "There
are none so blind as those who a0iU not
see" Therefore we do not expect to con,
vince those who s0iW not be convinced.

CROP REPORTS.


WASHINGTON, ID. e., Sept, A.-Ihc depart
ment of agriculture has received, during Sep
TENDER, reports from the middle and eastern
states of the condition and prospects of the corn
crop equally favorable with those previously
obtained from the southern states, while those
from states beyond the Mississippi and Missou-
ri are still more encouraging, and somewhat
less in the Ohio valley states.
The wheat report is far less favorable than the
returns of the spring and early summer cN-
cept as far as relates to the eastern and middle
states.
Barley is generally below the average, except
in few states.
Buckwheat will be less in quantity than usual.
Rye is nearly the average, the heaviest de-
probation being in the south
The hay cropis greatly reduced in quantity,
but excellent in quality.
The potato crop promises nearly the average.
The sweet potato crop is a full one between
New York and Virginia, and in Mississippi
and Louisiana and elsewhere in the southern
states somewhat below the average.
From data relative to the sugar crop, an in
crease of thirty per cent. in the aggregate may
be expected. Last years crop was, in round
numbers, 100000 hogsheads.
FEMALE SUFFRAGE.
Judge Underwood, United States district
Judge for Virginia, has written a letter, in which
he says he feels confident that the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments, together with the en-
foIcemcnt act, have secured the right to vote to
the female citizens of Virginia.
FRAUDS.
Commissioner Douglas has issued circular,
in which he says that Notwithstanding the in
creased receipts from manufactured tobacco
snuff and cigars, during the last fiscal year,
over those of any previous year, he is forced to
the conclusion that large amounts of tobacco in
the aggregate are sold and consumed in fraud
of the revenue.
