There is said to be a section OF country
comprising portion Of Sussex county
west from Bridgevile, and extending
into Dorchester county, Nd, for several
miles, that seems to be peculiarly untor-
tunate in the matter of rains. All the
late seasons" have missed this section
and no rain of any account has fallen
since the corn vas planted. Asa cUnse'
quenee the crops are almost entirely dc.
stroyed. The corn is an utter failure and
many farmers are already cutting up the
dwarfed and sickly growth to make Tho
most they can of it for feed. Vegetables
Of course are utterly destroyed. As one
of the effects of this, the millcrs within
the dry belt are Offering as much as st

THE WIcKS CHALLENGE.

The Chattanooga Times, of yesterday,
alludes to the Rule and Wicks correspond
ence in the following handsome style.
Speaking of Mr.. Rules letter to Wicks, it
says:
1.-The letter is manly and honorable.
The press of the State should stand by Mr..
Rule. His cause is the cause of US all. 1t
is time that public men, holders of public
funds, should learn that the way to relieve
themselves from charges affecting their Of
fetal integrity, based upon well grounded
evidence, is not by challenging the editors
who bring their offenses to light In the
interest of the public, but by adduclng the
facts in support of their innocence:
We do not wish to be understood as en-
dorsins Mr.. Rules charges on Maj. Wlcks.
We know nothing of the facts in the case,
and we have always understood that Maj:
Wicks' character for integrity was beyond
reproach, but he has chosen the wrong
remedy and has placed himself in a false
position, The charges, whether true or
false, will now obtain a wide notoriety,
and his conduct in the matter viii be most
unfavorably criticised.
Mai, Wicks should be aware that the pen
is mis- htier than the sword, and that no
journalist ought to abandon the one for the
other, while every editor will allow any
aggrleVed person Ialr anu coulleou' heoi-
ing in his columns.
THE Cleveland Commercial Republican
says:
We regret that our space does net permit
the publication, in full of Capt. Rules re-
ply. 1t has more of the ring of true man
ly honor and genuine civilized courage
about it, than any ever before embraced in
a similar production. In short 1t justly
ipnoroS tho theory of honor claimed for the
dueling code; denies that it is prompted
by spirit of courage, but rather of cow
ardice and guilt; but claims fully the in
herent right of self defeaSe, and that if at
tackled, he will not hesitate to exercise this
high, natural and legal right.

sage of law that will do full justice to
creditors, with them must rest the Cdium
of such a course. We trust that the Re-
publicans in that body will make up their
their minds as to what is just and right,
and, if possible, act together as a unit.
Disregard everything coming from "new
issue rings" wholesale funding rings"
Confederate war bond rings" ETC., ETC.,
and do what is just to creditors and just
to people.
If Legislators will view matters from
, these standpoints, they will be able to ar.
rive at conclusion which, when EN-.
bodied and passed into a law, will rebound
to their credit, and they will receive from
their constituents the welcome applause
of "well done, thou good and faithful ser
want"

THE State debt of Tennessee is large.
From the best information that can be OBJ
tanned, it is something over Sol 200, 900.
The annual interest at six per cent. is
about one and a quarter millions. This.
we say, is large, and to meet it promptly
and honestly will prove a heavy burden
for years to come. This the people under
stand and have long since made up their
minds to meet it. There is no hesitation
among them. Reputation is dishonesty,
and is 50 regarded generally; therefore, it
is so unpopular that few men have the
hardihood to openly advocate it. A poli-
tician who even winks at such
policy would be hooted at and driven
into obscurity. But while there are few
who openly advocate reputation, there
are those who would increase the burdens
of the tax payers with schemes for private
speculation, and when they have "feather-
ed their own nests" would increase the
probabilities for such policy. Not salts

honestly toward them by providing for
overdue interest on bonds, they want US
to be at the expense of issuing new bonds
for all our old ones, and would also have

federate "Torbett issue" and all kindred so
called liabilities. Some men in the Leg
islature deserve honorable mention for the
gallant manner in which they have fought
these encroachments on the peoples
rights. The joint select committee, of
which Senator Mcconnell, of Blount is
chairman, and Hon. l.. G. Houk, of Knox,
an active and highly efficient member, will
elicit information on this subject that will
prove of public interest. The true friends

DEHOCPACY IN THE POST.

The cause of reform won an unexpected but
most gratifying victory, yesterday. The House
agreed to the Senate amendments to the bill
abolishing the franking privilege, and the bill
awaits only the signature of the President to
become law. This will of course not be
withheld, and this inveterate abuse may now be
fairly regarded as forever at an end. We have
no new words of condemnation for it. For
thirty years THE TRIBUNE has denounced 1t
and called for its abolition. No single meas
ure of reform was so dear to the heart OF
Horace Greeley. There was none for which
he labored so earnestly, and none in whose
fruition he would have so delighted
1t is an event in which we can all take un-
mixed pleasure. 1t is not only good act, but
it is also good symptom. The Thanking abuse
has been fieIcely attacked i'll Congress score
of times before. But the two Chambers always
saved 1t between them by some Juggling amend
meDt The Philadelphia Convention, when they
adopted the protest against it in their platform,
meant little more than brute thunder, and
even this Winter when the usual bill was in
troduced, it was rendered innocuous by cum
ming provisos. But the Senate, where even
less decisive action was expected than in the
House, brushed away all surpiusage and
adopted the honest and naked reform
which has been so long demanded, and the
House promptly cOnCurred by an unusual ma
iority. All this looks extremely favorable.
This reform comes in at the right time to EN-
phasize that probing of the Credit Mobilier
trouble, which Congress is carrying on with
such creditable nerve, though as yet with tar
too little thOroughness.
The country owes ungrudgiDg praise to
those who have been most active IN this Work.
To Postmaster General Creswen before all,
the warmest acknowledgements are due for the
zeal and courage he has shown in pushing
It forward. 1t is because we have often
felt called upon to criticse with some
severity others of his official acts that we
take especial pleasure in cordially approving
his efforts in this laudable movement of
reform. He has been ably and untiringly
seconded by Senator Ramsay and Gen.
FarnswOrth, the Chairmen of the Com
mittees having charge of the subject. To them
and to every member of both houses who
voted for the bill the thanks of their con-
stituents are justly due. They had the
Justice of spirit to perceive wrong by which
they were profiting, the fortitude to apply the
proper remedy, and if they had also the
sagacity to see that they would lose nothing
by it in the end, that detracts nothing from
the merit of the act 1t is good days work,
and will be gratefully remembered-And now
for cheaper postage! When Congressman and
Cabinet officer and President must prepay
letters, the farmer and day-laborer who have
been doing the same may better hope for re-
duced rates. How soon will the Postmaster
General carry letters for two cents, and make
his Department self-sustainingf
