TnterviewinR Hendricks,

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati En-
.qtsirer has been interviewing Mr. Hendricks
Of Indiana. He says:
At the conclusion of the conversation
wrote out the following statement of Mr..
Hendricks position, and received bis con-
sent TO have it 90 before the public as such:
II will make no effort to influence the ac-
ton of the National Democratic Conven
ton, and will abide by its decision, AT this
time, in view of the fact that there has
been no concert of action among the lead
ers and prominent men Of the party, it be-
hOoves all to move with prudence, dignity
and caution. The question of indOrsing the
Cincinnati nominees, or making straight
out Democratic nominations, is one that
should be well weighed and carefully con-
sidered. Ii is impossible, at this early day,
to say what the feeling of the masses of the
Democratic party in Indiana toward the
Cincinnati ticket is. As far as / can Judge,
the Democracy of Indiana will not occupy
any decided ground until after the meeting
of the State convention, which takes place
on the twelfth of next month. That con-
ventiOn will doubtless nominate straight
Democratic ticket, and refer the question
Of Presidential nominations to the national
convention. As far as / am concerned, /
feel in duty bound to sustain the action of
the national convention. If it dominates a
straight Democratic ticket, ! will support
Il with all the zeal. influence and ability I
possess. If IL indOrses the nomination of
Greeley and Brown, / shall certainly sup
port that ticket with equal zeal and energy.
Any other statement of my position in re-
gard to this matter has been made without
authority"

The Ouaehita Telegraph says of the
crops:
The crop soothsayers are In about as
great doubt as the political sOOthsayers. So
far, the weather has been unusually favora-
BILE. Planters have had good weather for
planting and working their young crops.
Corn is doing well. The stand of cotton is
fine, but the cool mornings are injurious to
the tender plant. A good shower in this
vicinity would be beneficial to both gar
dens and farms. For all the favorable
signs, May may drench us or riddle us with
hail, and June may suit grass better than
cotton and July may scorch the soil down
to the clay. Hence, the vanity of predic-
tons. Impressions class good middling.
The Richland Beacon says:
We are needing rain very much, and
some of our planters complain that their
cotton is already dying out, and crops gen
orally suffering for want of moisture Gar
dens in town are suffering greatly from the
same cause, as well as from the depreda-
tons of bugs and WORMS But the dry
weather has been an advantage to planters
In one respect-it has enabled them to get
their crops worked over the first time. The
mornings are still cool.
On the lower coast the crop prospect is
cheering. The rice crop is Furnishing.
The rattOOn cane is coming outhandsomely.
The plant cane is in fine condition. The
bohemian plantation, below Pointea-la-
Hache, owned by Mr.. Louis G. Generes, of
this city, is cultivated in cane this year.
