OMENS OF VICTORY.
GRANT HUcKsEER1Na WITH FoRNET.
Charles Sumner Declares that Grant
will Garry Only Four States-SchurZ
and Fenton ArE:ing for the Fray.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIE NEWs.l

WASHINGTON, Friday, July l9.
The details of the visit Of Grant to Forney
on Tuesday show that he attempted to huck-
ster with that editor on behalf of his own adj.
mulslratiou, and was seconded by three men,
bers OF his own Cabinet, and by several
senators and others. Very shortly after open
ing the conference, 1t appeared that Forney
and his friends would not be bought up 30
long as the present Radical State ticket re-
mains in the field In Pennsylvania, and so 1t
transpired that no compromise could be made.
The President and his advisers, however, ex-
pressed the belief that, should the State ticket
be defeated in October, 1t could be saved to
the administration in November, at which be-
lief the old politicians here smile audlbly.
Carl Schurz is prepared for an active cam.
paign in Missouri. Senator Fenton has already
commenced operations in New York, aHd Is
warmly supported by ex-senator Harris and
other prominent old Republicans.
Greeley senslbly refuses to ask his friends to
contribute money for campaign paper In
Washington.
Sumner will presently endorse Greeley In an
address he ls preparing to colored voters.
He ofir7ns that Grant aoiA only carry Vermont,
Massachusetts, Io,oa and South Carolina.
Many and indignant complaints from the
merchants of New York, Philadelphia and
other leading Northern cities ut Boulwell's
leaving the treasury to engage In stump
speaking, to the neglect of the public business
which seriously affects their Interests. The
matter is the subject OF unfavorable editorial
comment In the leading business papers. N.

THE COTTON PROSPECT.
REPORT OF THE AGRICULTURAL DE-
PARTMENT.
The Crops In Better Condition than In
any July Since 1868.

WASHINGTON, July 10.
The following Ia q summary of the July COT
ton crop report of the statistlclans Of the
Department of Agriculture:
The past month has been generally tavora-
BILE to cotton. Slight areas have been affected
by drought, but rains we're quite general dur
ing the latter part of June. On the Atlantic
coast showers have been so frequent and
heavy since July 20 as to delay cultivation,
and promote the growth Of weeds and grass.
Before that date season of comparative
drought of seven or eight weeks had been suf-
fered In portion of this district, while other
counties represent the weather as having
been uniformly favorable. The variation In
rainfall during the past month has been con-
siderable. In the Atlantic States 1t ranged as
follows at the stations reported: From 2
inches to 4.95 in Virginia; from 4.5s to $40 In
North Carolina; from Ia to 1896 In South Car
olina; from 1.25 to 1896 In Georgia; from to
in Florida, and from 1.55 to 4s9 In Alabama.
In the States on the Mississippi the rainfall
has been abundant. The lowest records In
IuO cOfOkol oIntSo uOiuS iA0hA - w AhSaS'S
and the highest from to IL. In Tennessee
the range is from 2.64 inches to 1858; In
Louisiana from to IL; In Texas from a to g.;
in Arkansas from 43 to SO, making an aver.
age lower than 100.
The standard of good crop condition are VIr-
gInla, North Carolina and South Carolina, in
which the average rainfall In May and June
was light, and In Arkansas where Injury has
resulted from heavy and unreasonable rains
In all the other States the averages are above
100. The figures representing condition are
as follows: Virginia a6, North Carolina 81,
South Carolina 81, Georgia 81, Florida lO2,
Alabama lC6, Mississippi los, Louisiana lO3,
Texas los, Arkansas 96, Tennessee lO4. TAX.
ing into consideration the relative importance
of the States In production, the general aver
age of the condition OF the crop would be about
lO3. As a whole the July return ofthe present
year ls higher average OF a condition than
those of any previous report except 1868.

The Selma Times says:

From all accounts the crops along the line
of the Alabama Central Railroad, the richest
portion OF the State, look remarkably well,
but the knowing ones say that the superabun-
dance OF rain has developed the weeds to q
preternatural extent, and close Inspection
develops the fact that the eettoR -is too long
Iointed and not well Oiled; In fact, there is TOO
much weed, which makes all the show, and
too little square and joint. So let us not be
deceived by appearances.

was by any means c:'terion of what could
be made out OF the road. Roads running
parallel to the Atlantic could never compete
successfully for carrying freights from the
South to New York with roads running direct
ly ffom the interior to the ssacoast, because
at sea they get three miles of transportation
tor the cost of one mile on land. He did not
think that the proposed Air Line Railroad
could interfere with the Greenville Road
The latter road depended upon the counties
through which 1t passed, and they are now in
prosperous condition. The 81 80 per share
that he was offered for his stock represented
the market value of the road over and above
all liabilities. Another circumstance affecting
the value of the road, is the fact that iron had
risen during the past twelve months one hun
dred per cent. in price, The road could not
then be built for twice the money that 1t origi-

that the Greenvile and Columbia Railroad
