Lieutenant Pickett returned from Pom
totoc, with his detachment of. troops, on
Thursday evening. He informs us that the
citizens of the town, without regard to
party, are a unit upon the subject of re
sisting any attempt on the part of bands of
disguised men to enter or pass through the
town. At a meeting Of citizens, where all
parties were represented, he was assured
that the civil law was ample for the protec-
ton Of the people, and, having been sent to
PontOtoc on the Governors requisition to
support the civil authorities, he left when
assured that the sheIiffs posse was equal
to all emergencies. He informs us that a
county meeting is to be held in the interest
of law and order, and that all was calm
and quiet when his command left the
town.-Aberdeen Eraminer, May D.
We are truly glad to learn that the peo-
pie of Pontotoe have realized the fact that
Governor Alcorn intends to put an end to
this Ku-Klux business, and by the tone of
the paper above quoted from we imagine
the Monroe county Democracy have come
to the same cOnclusion.--Jackson Pilot

The average Democrat of the pc,
Rod don't love the 4th of July
simply because the Republican par
ty kept the rebel army from destroy
ing it. For instance a Kentucky pa.
per, Richmond Register, in announc-
ing the coming of Independence
Day, felt compelled to say: "Next
Tuesday will be the Fourth fully.
We hope Sambo will enjoy himself
AS for us, We pass, as the Radicals
have taken from us all the liberty tn at
Washington and his compatriots
gained for us. No Fourth Of July
in ours" They remember that
Nicksburg fell on the 4th. Price was
whipped at Helena Bragg whaled in
Tennessee e; Gettysburg partly fought,
and disaster TO their arms so general
on that day, that they prefer to eel

The Davenport Gazette in speak.
ing of Grants Indian policy says
"The point seems to be conceded
that President Grant has fallen on
the true policy as regards the treat
ment of the Indians. BY a gradual
course of action and by uniformly
kind and just treatment, it is found
these people can be won towards
habits of civilization, and the time
is not far distant when the great
body of them will be selfsupporting.
Already in the Indian Territory there
are tribes so far advanced that they
can take upon themselves the task
of self-government. The reserva-
tons in Nebraska, unGer the wise
guidance Of Superintendent Janney
and his subordinate Agents, all of
whom belong to the Society of
Friends, are showing a marked i'm
proyenent. The system of the al
lotment of lands is being adopted,
whereby each family is secured a
homestead, and in one tribe, a regu.
lar election has been held for chiefs.
Children are learning rapidly under
the direction of devoted teachers,
and suspicion of our people is being
rapidly obliterated."

CROPS.

w ME many LOCALITIES are COM
planning OF their wheat prospects,
others are Dragging on the large
yield they are receiving. We ap-
pend few of the items from va
rious sections:
The Wapello Republican says :
awe spent an hour in Packard's
field, north of town, on last Monday,
where men were cutting both wheat
and rye. The wheat will certainly
average thirty-five bushels per acre,
and the rye is very heavy crop.
so far as we can hear the yield will
be large throughout the county"
The Iowa Falls Sentinel says
''The oat crop throughout this re-
gion will in all probability far exceed
that. of any other season for ten years
past. We have seen several pieces
of the Norway oats that seem to be
far heavier than the ordinary varie-
ty, and if the farmers predictions
are verified, from SO to rs bushels
to the acre will be the yield, and
oats go begging at Is cents per
bushel"
The Dexter Herald says: "The
wheat harvest has already COM
menced here. The wheat proves to
be much better than it was generally
expected to be. The late rains have
improved the wheat wonderfully,
and it is now thought that the late
heavy wind storm will prove to have
done more good to the growing
crops than it did injury. The rust
was destroyed and the bugs were
also killed. The early corn that was
thought to be SO badly injured, has
also recovered, and what corn was
broken off was only enough to thin
the hills about right. 1t is thought
now that the wheat crop will be an
average one. The corn crop prom
lses to be the largest and best ever
known"
The Council Bluffs NonpareH
says: "Col. j. G. Hoffmayr, yester-
day afternoon, showed us a sample
OF new winter wheat-plump and
well matured grain, that would be
considered fine in almost any wheat
growing country. This wheat is
of the variety known as Gambler
Iowa." and was raised by George
kowles few miles from this city.
The crop will average twenty-five
bushels to the acre. Mr.. Hoffamyr
informs US that Mr.. Kowles is not
the only farmer in this vicinity, who
last year concluded to try their luck
in raising winter wheat, and with
the most satisfactory results in each
case. In the immediate vicinity of
the city several thousands of bush
els of winter wheat were harvested
this year."
The Iowa City Republican says:
"The crops ofgrain are approaching
maturity. Winter grain is already
cut, and is very good. Spring wheat
is nearly ready for the reaper, and is
not very good. 1t will fall decidedly
below an averages yield. Oats will
follow hard after it, and will be a
good crop. Flax is fair, but corn,
the amount that is now promised to
Iowa is almost beyond calculation.
Never before were there so many
acres in that crop in this State, and
never such promises of an abundant
yield. 1t stands now, the first Of
July, six feet high, and is stretching
upward at rapid rate"
