CROPS IN GEORGIA. :.

FROM the Augusta ConstttuionalIst July sl.l
From q letter from Burke County we learn
that cotton Is looking we'll as regards size, but
Is poorly frulted. This is owing 10 the late ex-
cessive rains and hot sun which has followed,
which caused the cotton to shed nearly all OF
irs fruit except the larger bolls. A field of cot
ton that some time since promised 10 Yield q
bale to an acre and a half, will not now pro-
duce more than bale to three acres. The
cotton crop generally In Burke County Will be
much shorter than was anticipated.

| State Is the party organization more compact
and united. MIR. Jennings Plgott, q proml-
nent Republican In that county, has recently
declared in favor of Greeley and Brown. he
| is very able, popular man, and is great &C.
quisition to the Reform party.
Excellent news has also been received from
Moore County, and likewise from Cumber-
land, Cswthorn and Warren, the homes Of the
three colored Radical members of the last
Legislature, (Leary, Cawthorn and Reavls,)
getting recruits among their constituents
every day. From Robson the news Is also
good; but Montgomery Is doubtful, and 30 is
Columbus, while cheering news Ia received
from Duplin. Good news WAS received to-
day from Stokes, Forsythe, Randolph, Rock
ingham and A!amance Counties; but Bladen is
very doubtful. From Montgomery, Anson,
stanly and Union, intelligence has been
received of a cheering character. These
are the counties lateet heard from at Demo-
cratic headquarters, and this Information may
be considered as reliable. Looking over the
field by districts, the prospect thus presents
itself: The First District will be close, With,
probably, a small Radical majority. The Sec
ond District Is intensely Radical, and VIII give
Caldwell majority of from six TO eight thous.
and, perhaps more. In the Third Distrlct the
vote, also, will be very close, but here the
chances are in favor of MerrimoD. In the
Fourth District Thomas, the Radical candi,
date, seems 10 nave tne lRslOe LTachi out etiil
the result will be very close. In the Filth
lively contest Is anticipated between the
friends OF Leach and those OF the notorious
Judge Settle, with the chances decidedly IN
favor of Leach, who s very popular. although
Settle also has numerous friends. Leach will
probably carry the day by about eight hundred
or one thousand majority. In the Sixth Dis
trlct large Democratic majority, probably as
high as two thousand five hundred, may be
confidently looked for. The Seventh District
will also show a handsome Democratic ma
jority, and the Eighth, and last, will probably
do better than any OF the rest. It is IN these
three districts, which comprise The western
section of the State, that we must expect the
needed majorities to carry the election. They
have the power OF coming out strong, and If
they will only do 1t, will serve as an offset to
the eventual Radical majorities In the First,
Second, and Fourth Districts. They comprise
the Quaker, or so-called Moravan, element,
and 1t is among them that some OF our best
men have been 80 assduousy at work, and, as
I hope, not In vain. Upon them, and their ap.
pearance at the polls, everything will depend.
70 Judge from the accounts from those parts,
they seem to have become thoroughly aroused,
and determined 10 shake off the lethargy to
which, as regards political affairs, they seem,
since the war, 10 have ben subjected.

A LANDLORDs' PROTECTIVE AsS0OI-
4TTON
Property Owners Cooperating against
shiftIess and Dishonest Tenants.

An n1mportant movement has just been inau-
gurated in this city, having for Its object the
protection of landlords from the serious losses
by improvident or dishonest tenants, which 1t
Is said they now suffer. The laws Of the State,
/ as enacted aud administered under the pres
ent dlspensatlon, appear TO afford but little
protection To capital and property, and on &C
count of this ineficiency of the legal safe
guards which have hitherto been relied upon,
1t is said that 1t is now absolutely necessary
tor the landlords to cooperate and protect
themselves. In pursuance Of this design q
meeting was held yesterday noon at the Office
of Mr.. VIM. Il. Dawson, No. 85 Broad street,
which, having been insuf1ciently advertised,
was but sllmly attended, but at which plan
Of operation was adopted, and the nucleus Of
an important organization was obtained. An
association vas formed with the name of the
Landlords and Agents Protective Association,
and It was resolved to open registry of the
names of all delinquent tensnts as they be-
came known to the members, 1t ls proposed
that In every case where o tenant leaves q
residence in debt to the landlord that the lat
ter shall fill up aud send to the secretary OF
the association q notice In the following form {:

A quInine bottle full of the simon pure army

seen In the county. To-day his crop is utterly

Big Swamp are suffering the same fate and Ine
prospects so fatterlng three weeks ago are
now sad and gloomy indeed.
We now begin to think that cotton will be
worth twenty-five cents next February. The
crop, 80 promising few weeks ago, may now
be considered lost.

NEW YORK, July 81.
The loss by the fire at Hunters Point Is esli'
mated at $l,500,000. Last evening immense
crowds of spectators visited the scene OF tne
coDfacratl0n. The fire continued to ourn all
last night. aud the spectacle presented upon
the river was singularIy beautiful. All the
surrounding section was brilliantly lighted up.
II ia very probable that the fire will continue
today If the supply OF oil holds out. No fire
of this magnitude was ever before witnessed
on the East River.
A fire on Forty-seventh street and First
avenue last night, on the premises Of Mr.
Elsner, originating In stable, burned about
seventy hpfers and some two or three huu-
dred sheep. The building itself was also
consumed with an adjoining tenement house,
In which Mary Donahoe, q two year old child.
was burned to death. The loss Is over one
hundred thousand dollars.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NRws.l

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE FEWS.l
CHARLOTTE, N. c., July 81.
To-day fs the last day of July, and the last
also of this brilliant Canvass canvass men,
orable on the Conservative side, atleast, for
its magnificent demonstrations of popular
enthusiasm, and for a series Of campaign
speeches. which, as whole, can scarcely be
parallelled. As the critical day of the election
has approached the high spirit aud confidence
among the rank and file of the Conservatives
have increased, and we may readily believe
that on the closing of the polls to.
morrow the largest Conservative vote
since the war will have been polled.
The leaders of the Liberal Conservatives
are earnestly confident of decisive victory, q
majority Of at least eight thousand, and this
confidence Is based upon no slight or made
quate grounds. In the first place, intelligence
has been from time to time received from
nearly all the doubtful counties, and the un-
equlvocal promise is given of a majority In
each, besides it is certain with respect to the
whole State that the allied parties can regis
ter majority of more than twenty thousand.
AS 1t is confidently expected that In
CWC1SCuSJ u0oA'J o'SAy y='oN>A AsS
registered and will cast his vote,
the case seems very plain. 1t is true
thatthe North Carolina vote is liable to heavy
fluctuations, but the issues of the present con-
test are too broad and distinct to admit of
desertons or any mixing of parties upon one
side or the other. 1t is struggle OF the Con-
servative taxpaying communities for the
preservation Of their rights of property and
person from total humiliation from the
fate of South Carolina.
The negroes, the ofice:holders and the very
lowest purchasable material among the
whites, 30 far as they have been bought up.
will vote the Radical ticket, and none but
them, for in this contest there are 70 minor
Issues Of men Ut measures as heretofore to
attract single Conservative vote to their
Radical side. The Legislature is certain for
the Conservatives, and unless large number
of illegal votes get in, the State is safe to 80
Conservative by from eight to ten thousand
majority. CHARLOTTE.
