TIE DROUTH.

From every section Of East Tennessee
we receive many complaints about the Sc
we're dry weather now threatening our
promising crops We have within the
past few days made personal observation
Of the condition of the crops in upper
East Tennessee and the situation is pain
fuI. The prospects for an abundant wheat
crop, until within few days, were very
encouraging. The corn, fruit and grass
crops were also in fine condition.
Within the past week; however, these
prospects have been lessened by the unu-
sual drouth now upon US. In the upper
counties Of East Tennessee they have u Ut
had rain for over three weeks. 4 small
shower about ten days ago partly relieved
some of the counties about Knox, but the
hot weather since has placed the crops, cs-
pcciaIly the young growing corn, in crit
zeal situation. The grass i'll some places
looks as dry as in August. The wheat
may be retarded 50 that the fly and rust
Will oyeriake it. The dry spell is SO I'M
usual al this season OF the year that it IS
the subject of wonder and speculation.
Cisterns are giving ont, wells are slack
and the streams very low for this period.
But East Tennessee is not alone in this
threatened Affections We see from our eX-
changes that in the Atlantic States the
mills running by water power are pre-
pairing for steam. For two years now, they
have suffered from lack of water and the
prospects for This year are 50 discouraging
that they propose to get ready for other
motive power.
We see it predicted Chat when we do
Get rain we shall have an abundance, and
perhaps an excess of it. In this view it is
well enough for our farmers, as far as pos
sibIe, to shape their work accordingly
Our weather reports for few days will be
eagerly consulted.

TENNESSEE POLITICS.

The Nashville Banner of Saturday con-
tains an address to the people of Tennes-
see from Chancellor East, as chairman OF
the Liberal State Committee. In this adj
dress, after referring TO the refusal of the
Democratic Convention TO unequivOcaly
commit its electoral ticket to Greeley and
Brown, it urge the necessity OF having a
ticket before the people Of the State, to
which the friends Of the Cincinnati nomi-
nees can look with certainty and faith. He
PROMISES Oh behalf Of his committee to nut
forth as soon as practicable, ticket
about whose sympathies there will be 10
question. This is . significant and shrewd
movement. In fact we think it a flank
movement on TIE Bourbon-Brown-B alti-
more party, worthy Of an adept in politi-
cal tactics. It puts the Banney-Greeley
party, at one bold movement, in the lead
Tennessee. II is very evident that to-
majority of Tennessee Demo-
re positively in favor of Greeley
crown. They will, therefore, be
pt to rally around the cleo
ticket that first openly and boldly
its fortunes to the Cincinnati car.

The laundering, hesitating policy OF
Browns brass collar men, has afforded the
Bdn"er party the opportunity they have
coveted. We do not wonder that they
will propose ticket of their own. For
months the Brown organs have denounc-
ed the Banner for its Cincinnati sympa-
thies. They have read it out of the party.
Now when the Banner movement has
captured the Democracy in Tennessee,
and the Union and american and its
Knoxville satellite want to creep in
and steal the glory, we do Dot wonder
that the Banner objects. What little glory
the movement promises ought to so to the
Banner and its friends alone. There
won't be much more than enough to give
them temporary comfort and they need it
all.
In the meantime the situation grows
more interesting. The Baltimore Con-
vention only complicates the Democratic
troubles. The Cincinnati movement, in
tended to divide the Republican party,
has only served to embroil Democrats in
bitter strife and divisions. We are likely
to have three electoral tickets in Tenne5-
see and lively time generally.

The feeling among Baltimore politicians
seems to be that the selection of that place
is unfavorable to the Endorsement of Gree
lev by the Democratic Convention. A
member Of the National Committee, who
arrived here to-day, says that the conf
dental communications between members
at the late meeting in New York showed
only three men who were really strongly
for the acceptance of Greeley. The same
gentleman says, in spite of the seeming
rally throughout the South to the Cincin-
natl ticket, the shrewdest Democrats look
confidently for a reaction.-CjR. Gazette.

THE nomination Of Mr.. GREELEY at
Baltimore, which we assume to be settled,
will doubtless bring to his support many
persons who would not otherwise votefor
him. But It will have another effect
Such q nomination, the endorsement OF
another Convention, the nomination of o
man whose whole reputation and charac
ter and position have been earned by his
hostility to the Democratic party, is an
abandonment Of that party; it is the signal
OF It's dissolution. And while the old
name and the fiction OF the Democratic
organization will carry many Of the IN,
thinking and many Of the offlce,seeking

many who, in the absence Of a Demo.

lection between candidates outside of the
party. The former may outnumber the
latter, but the prospect of Republican &C.
cessions TO the Cincinnati nomination is
not so great as to justify the loss Of any.

theory Of the success of that nomination
requires tho undivided strength Of the

man, a student in the collegeaat Racine,
Wisconsin, in the shape OF an improve.
ment on the method in use for turning all
power wheels. Persons familiar with
machinery are aware that there are two
dead points in the crank where all the

points; the balance wheel is not able of
itself to generate any force, so that double
the power is required, one man to turn
the machinery while tho crank is work.
ing, and the other half to give sufficient
momentum to the balance wheel to carry
the machinery beyond the points where
the cranks cannot act. The new inyen.
ton consists Of a ratchet wheel which
takes the place, of the crank; over this
ratchet wheel runs frame, IN the two
sides of which are movable cogs or pawls,
when the connecting rod drives the frame
out the cogs on one side act upon the
teeth Of the wheel and carry it half way
round, while at the same time the cogs on
the opposite side, working In a contrary
direction, when touched by the teeth Of
the wheel are thrown out Of the way, and
the instant they scrape the teeth Of tho
wheel they adjust themselves by their
own weight, or by means of springs, and
SO are ready 10 carry the wheel the re.
naming half revolution when the con.
Meeting road is drawn IN, thus a revolu.
ton is obtained with every stroke Of the
