Washington, July 23.-The Jaly report

The reports of the corn crops represent 0S9
counties, including an area usually produc-
ing 70O,0OO,O00 annually, and indicate an
increase OF per cent. This is equivalent to
more than three-fourths of a million of
acres, and the total area in this great crop

together, is probably about IS, 900, 900

while small decline is reported in Ohio

The quality of the southern wheat will
probably prove as fine as any ever pro-

fullness of the head, in proportion to the
quantity OF straw, causes the yield to ex-
ceed expectation, and may go far to offset
the small decrease in the reported condi-

NINTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

NINTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
We are glad to see that the Republicans
Of this District have placed Col. Robert
w. Hughes in nomination for Congress.
Colonel Hughes is man of marked ability,
and would, if elected, fill the position with
credit to himself and honor to the State.
We had entertained no hopes of carrying
the Ninth District with any ordinary efforts
or candidate on our part, but the nominal
ton of the Colonel has rendered the event
possible. if not probable, should be put
forth his entire energies to secure such a
result. Colonel Hughes is one of the ablest
men in the State, and his speeches tell
powerfully in a public canvass Let the
people of that district give him an equal
hearing with his competitor in the field, and
we should be all but confident of his carry
ing off the palm Of victory in the contest.
We hope the Colonel will make vigorous
canvass of his district, for it is clearly
among the possibilities that he may there
by secure his election. i88y.t lai l1s

ten O'Clock on Monday night two of the
members of the visiting fire company, the
Alert, Of Manchester, "moistened their
clay" in rather unexpected manner, and
took plunge bath in the noble Elizabeth
without taking the trouble to don bathing
suits. One of them, in going to Portsmouth,
walked down to the ferry slip, and the boat
being absent he cssayed Peters feat Of
walking upon the water by stepping over
board. He was fished out in dripping
condition, when he asked if shat place was

About the same time brother fireman
started to leave Portsmouth in foot boat,
but mistaking the gunwale of the boat for
wide seat, attempted to sit down, when
he also went overheard, head first" As the
local" of the Vnyinian left the last mem
toned Alert "head first" in the water. his
friends will naturally be puzzled whether
to laugh at or lament the mishap.

What Greeley and Seward Privately Think of
av EtT One Another

New York Correspondence st. Louis Globe, ]
A well known journalist, being in WASH
mgton, felt curiosity TO ask William ii,
Seward what he thought of Horace Greeley.
{" Greeley" replied the ex-premier, " is
man OF rare gifts, of positive genius, indeed.
but he lacks common sense. IL he had a
particle of this quality We would have to
hang him; but as it is, he is harmless. for
he is add fool" Some weeks after. the
same journalist, happening in the Tribune
office, inquired of Greeley his opinion con-
corning Seward. The sage Of Chappaoua
thus answered: T" Seward has brains, great
force and immense power. He could do
anything he wished. He could govern this
country as well as any man in the land if
he were only honest, but the trouble with
Blil Seward is that he is an internal old
scomdrel and he can't be ANYTHING else"
