BICKH4RD SEASON.
The Crops in spartanburg.

The Carolina Spartan reports that this is
confessedly the most backward season in the
memory of the oldest inhabtant. The SHOWS
and rains have been 60 frequent that our far
mers are all greatly behind.hau 10 the pre-
paration for their crops. By this time, usual.
iy, ali are far advanced and many through
with planting corn. Now very few have COM
menced planting, or have even finished break
ing up their grounds preparatory to planting,
and the weather at this writing is cold enough
for January. This, with the Interruptions
caused BIZ the numerous arrests, and the back
wardness of the season, our prospects are
gloomy enough.
The Prospects In Newberry.
The backward seasons experienced 80 far,
saws the Newberry Herald, have 30 retarded
farming operations that but little has as yet
been done towards the next crop, and indeed
it Is reasonable to fear that the lateness Of the
planting will seriously affect It,. Such pro-
tracted winter, 80 much rain and snow, Is not
recollected to have occurred in the memory Of
the Oldest individuals and the consequence is
that much valuable time has been lost. The
far is felt, too, that the summer will prove q
dry one; for, according TO scientific theory and
experience, only 80 much rain falls during the
year, and this, If not equally divided, canseH
drought Outside of This consideration, IL is
remembered that the July and August
droughis generally occur, and unless the crops
have an early start, which Is not the present
case. serious loss is sustained.

date of It's assemblage. They declare their
full and entire sympathy with ils purpose,
and express the hope that the move.
ment already begun may spread through
all the States. Aud to prove their own
sincerity, they invite all the Republicans
of New York who agree with them to co-ope-
rate In their action. If the convention that
has been thus called and thus cordially re-
sponded to shall proceed discreetly, yet firm
", in lis action, Its influence on the future OF
the government and country will be both ap-
parent and permanent: The necessity of the
hour Is to purge the government of its present
incompetent and corrupt rulers. Another four
years Of such rule as the country 1s now stag
gering under, threatens the hDal loss of every
treasure and feature of free government. This
call for the Cincinnati Convention Is but the
stroke OF the fre-bell that summons everybody
from slumber to the work of rescue.
A Platform Broad Enough for all to
Stand On.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer
Is there word In that political platform
which any Democrat may dissent from Read
1t and Judge. We can stand upon that, and
accent as political brethren all who believe In
it. The Cincinnati Convention and Demo.
cratic Convention could not do wiser thing
than adopt 1t. Then, With candidates who fil-
" represent II, the country will be carried
against Grant by popular oulburst such as
has not been seen since 1850.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
4 SIGNIFICANT TspEEca BYD1sRAE1I.
Impossible for America 10 Recede-The
British Ministry to Seal their Incom-
potency by Ultimate Concession OF
Indirect Claims.

LoNDoN, April &.
DlsraeH addressed an immense Conserva.
tive meeting, at Manchester, last evening.
He said: "We have assembled here to pro-
claim our resolution TO uphold the Constitution
of the United Kingdom. We have come TO-
gether to talk of q programme for future &C.
ton, which will not despoil churches nor
plunder landlords, but which will further
the interests of the great body of the
people," he made several references to Ameri-
ca and her form of government as compared
with that of Great Britain, and to the difficult
ties growing out OF the Alabama claims ques
ton. He bitterly condemned the course OF
the Gladstone ministry; admitted that TWAS
impossible for America to recede from her
position In regard to the questions to be pre-
sented to the Geneva board of arbitration, and
thought that ministerial incompetency would
be sealed by the ultimate acknowledgment OF
the principle of indirect claims, the results
whereof must be fraught with the utmost
danger to England. Earl Derby and other
prominent gentlemen followed In speeches of
similar political import.
Defence OF the Ministry.
The Right Hon. James Stansheld, Radical
member of Parliament for the Borough of
Halifax, addressed bis constituents last night
in a speech which was mainly confined to
local questions, but In the course of which the
Alabama treaty was significantly touched
upon. He said that the treaty with America
seemed to be in jeopardy, but If iI failed the
fault wond rest with the American Govern
ment. England had done her best to settle
these differences, and had set q good example
to the world
The London Globe Astounded.
LONDON, April 4.
The Globe calls attention 10 rumor Of an
extraordinary character which has obtained
currency In London, that the case of the
American Government before the Geneva trt-
bunal Of arbitration estimates the losses of
citizens of the United States by the capture
and destruction Of American ships and car
goes by Confederate cruisers, built or fitted out
In English waters, at $l4 ,000, 900, and the ex.
penses of the United States Government, In
pursuing said privateers, at 5000. .000, 900. The
Globe comments with some severity upon this
statement, and expresses the hope that Glad
stone will be speedily called upon In Parlia-
meat for an explanation as to Its truth or
falslty.
The Echo contains an article upon the
subject of the union of Canada With Great
Britain, In which 1t hlns strongly that the
connection between the two countries is
merely artificial. and intimates thaALord Duf-
terln is possibly the last viceroy of the Do
minion.
