Crop prospects, as discovered on a swift trip
from the Atlantic seabOard to the Rocky
Mountains, are discussed on the second page
of The TRIBUNE. 1t will be seen that the
general view is encouraging; and the per-
sonal "reminiscences which our correspondent
mingles with his observations will be found
entertaining.

The talk of general strike of jOurneymen
for the enforcement of the Eight-Hour rule at
this time when trade is so dull, is too idle to
be seriously considered. Yet it appears there
are those who counsel wOrkingmen to this
suicidal policy.

their uncoual taxation in certain wards Is
very unsatisfactory statement That the real
aotata and bindings in the five wards below
CanoI-st. have decreased S1,6SS,4OO in assessed
yolue within a year, while those of the
twelfth. Nineteenth, and Twenty-second
Wards. which surround Central Park, have
increased $9O0i3,s6S. is so preposterous a
proposition that it is amazing to hear the
Commissioners seriously advance 1T. Un-
doubtedly the parks and avenues opened IN
the upper part of the city have benefited the
property adjoining and intersected by them,
but hardly in such degree as the Assessors
claim. The report of the Commissioners
rather tends to confirm the conclusions of
the Supervisors Investigating Committee, that
the system is radically wrong.
We have news from the missing steamer
Ernst Moritz Arndt as late as the oath OF
July She was seen on that day by the White
Star steamer Oceanic, the latter being on her
way from New-York to Liverpool. The day
before she was spoken by the ship King
Oscar Second, which has since arrived at
Stettin. According to the report OF the
captain of the last-named vessel the Arndt
had lost her propeller on the 14th OF July,
and was proceeding under SAIL The position
of the Arndt is evidently incorrectly reported
either by the Oceanic or the Oscar, since the
Oceanic, which sighted her last, reports her
one and half degrees further east than
when spoken by the Oscar on the preceding
day. She is reported by the Oscar to have
been in latitude 46 10, longitude 45 O3, which
would be about three hundred and fifty miles
east of Cape Race. Nineteen days have now
ELAPSED since the Arndt was seen by the
Oceanic, and since she was in the pathway OF
the European steamers it is, at least, sur
prising that nothing further has been heard OF
her.

No more apparently causeless and reckless
tragedy than that which shocked the city,
yesterday, has lately been enacted. A young
man who had no reason to have any but the
kindest feelings toward his employer, so far as
we know, suddenly attempts TO murder him in
the midst of his workmen. The assailant takes
refuge in suicide and makes no sign. The
occurrence, bloody as it is, is not so much
mysterious as unaccountable.

demur and submit that that charming history gives
its own evidence to the contrary 1t is not in the
nature of lampoon to make its subject being who,
with his unstrung brain and his sweet SOUL is one

We had thought that the possibilities of the Con-
vention were exhausted; that after political, re-
ligious and social reform meetings of every stripe
and degree, there could be nothing more dis
agreeable of this kind. But Pennsylvania item
informs us that there is held every night at rail-
way station in that State convention of the most
novel and startling descriptions real Walpurgis
Night sort of arrangement. Regularly at the ortho-
dox wltching hour of night the ghosts of those who
have been killed the railroad track troop FORTH
all in the awful pose and wounded condition in
which the locomotive left them. They pass resolu-
tions of censure on the railroad companies and
duct themselves in business-like manner generally
until the cock crows, when they vanish in thin air.

George Odger, the distinguished English Radical
we regret to notice, has been declared bankrupt
This has come, we suppose, of Mr. Odgers attention
to the interests of the people at the expense Of his
own. He is not the first nor the fiftieth popular
leader in England who has experienced the same
misfortune. He has been repeatedly nominated as
the workingman's candidate for a seat in Parlia-
ment, and has always been unsuccessful. These
contests have absorbed his time and probably his
money His fate will hardly encourage Liberals
who may happen to have private business or money.

THE PEABODY FUND.

We publish by telegraph this morning
the report Of DR.. Barnes TO the Peabody
fund commissioners, setting forth the
progress made in the establishment o.
common schools at the south, and Civ
ing gstatiSties Of their present condition.
Compared with similar exhibits, during
the years since the commission was
called into existence, this is an encour-
aging one, at least so thinks DR..
Barnes, and he ought to know.
But taken in their nakedness.
without explanation, his figures are far
from being as satisfactory an exhibit as
we might have been able to make had
We not been beset by thieves like those
Of this State and of South Carolina, who

sorriest showing OF all. But let Ms

The Supposed Murderers Of the Negro
Zeke Threatened with Lynch Law.

Special TO the AppeaI.ls
HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss, July IT,
The three Williams brothers, of Hick-
CRY Flat, charged with the murder of a
negro, Zeke Heuse, of this place. are
now undergoing preliminary trial be-
fore Mayor Goodrich and Esquire Fall
coner. Great excitement prevails
among the negroes; over five hundred
left their fields to-day and rode into
town for the avowed purpose of mob
bing the prisoners in the event the
court acquitted them. The sheriff, this
morning, summoned a large posse Of
ciEzens to protect the prisoners from the
violence of the enraged mob. The VIII
Iiamkes are brave men, and little heed the
threats of bloody revenge wreaking in
hate around them. The white citizens
here will not hesitate to protect and de-
fend their race.

POLITICAL.
What of the Future in Tennessee-Let
ter from Judge HOuk.

From the Nashville Union and Americana
Judge Houk, of Knox, in his letter &c
Senator Jones, says some things, o
which it may be well for the Democracy
of Tennessee TO make a note. We
make the following extracts: v1
al shall surely commit myself, sc
no man or party upon funding or anti.
funding.' In the last campaign an Cd.
portunity was luckily offered Of present
ing the principles of the Republican
party to the masses, white and colored,
and the result was an almost complete
victory. Our final triumph is in the
near future, if we are still Republicans,
as l trust and believe we are, and will
so continue, regardless Of efforts to al
lure and beguile us to enlist under a new
flag. So far as l know, there is not q
ripple ia the Republican current of East
Tennessee-there is no disposition noI
tendency among Republicans in this
part of the State to form new alliances.
The Republicans have fought together in
the past for the reason that they have
been agreed among themselves in their
adhersnce to strictly Republican princi-
pies. Differences of opinion, as to minor
matters of detail, have been freely toler-
ated in the past, and hear of no desire
to take "a new departure in the future
The Republican party IS pledged to aid
in restoring, and If possible, maintaining
the credit Of the State. While that is
true, it by no means follows that Repub-
hcans are to assume the role of 'funders'
or tanti-funders,' for the very good rea-
son that TO FUND or NOT TO FUND
are questions about which men OF sense
and of financial capacity are not agreed
as the better credit measure, and because
the Republicans have not heretofore and
will not hereafter, consent TO the sban-
donment of 8 fixed and well-defined
platform of principles, and enter upon q
struggle over one isolated and single
question OF State policyl Not at all.
It would be an extreme act Of poliLi-
cal folly, and the great mass ol
the people would look upon the
movement ia that light. However,
there is a class of political as0rdescripts
who appear quite anxious that some
thing should happen whereby they may
be lifted from obscurity and insignifi-
canoe to prominence and Importance
that neither their talents nor political
code of morals would justify. The
would-be leaders of this hoped-foT
movement are as reckless as pirates.
They hope for something to turn up
and are ever ready for an adventuTel L
have no quarrel with then-they have
no party and want one-they are out Of
doors; who can blame them for seeking
shelter?n

ing that he ''is not now, does not desire

ExCIrEHENT Ar HOLLY sPRrNGs.


A special telegram from Holly Springs
informs us of the arrest of the supposed
murderers Of the negro Zeke, whose body
was found in that neighborhood some
days ago, under circumstances lead
ing TO a suspicion of foul play.
The excitement pending the prelimi-
nary examination of the prisoners
was very great, and our correspond
ent says threats of lynching them were
freely INDUCED in. We hope that moth
ing Of that sOrt. win bepermitted; indeed,
the dispatch assures US it win not, but
we are sorry TO see that the defense of
the prisoners is put upon trace" sympa-
thy, whereas it should only be upon the
highest principles Of justice. And we
think this last is the ground upon which
the people of Holly Springs will act, for
they are not only iaw-abiding, but have
ever been actusted bya spirit Of fairness

National L.ab0R Congress.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, July 1.-THE In
dustrial labor congress assembled here
at nine o'clock this morning. Resolu-
tions we're adopted emphaticalIy pro-
testing against the importation of cheap
labor. The committee on cooperation
reported as follows: That we recognize
in cooperation the most feasible plan
for the adjustment Of the difference be-
tween labor and capital, and that this
labor congress recommend the enact
ment of efficient laws for the protection
and encouragement of cooperative
associations in all the States Of our
country. Theeommittee on arbitration
reported the following preamble, which
was adopted: Whereas, it is evidently
necessary to devise q mere peaceable
plan Of settling difficulties between en-
ployers and employees than by strikes,
lthey being usually detrimental to the
interests of both parties, we recommend
| the adoption of the following:
ReSOJUed, That it ig deemed advisable
by this congress that all unions adopt q
system of arbitration, and that all MEM
bers of the industrial classes be urged to
cast their votes FOR no man unless he be
pledged to use his vote and influence to-
ward the adoption of laws making ar
bitration legal means of settling diff
euities between employers and en-
ployes.
The COMMITTEES on trades unions and
the amalgamation Of societies made q
report, which was adopted, inviting all
foreign societies now existing in the
country to join in home organizations
also recommending reciprocity in the
plan of the iron-mOulders international
union. The congress then adjourned
till two o'clock in the evening.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The committee on the labor bureau re-
ported, and the report was received and
adopted. The report of the committee
on correspondence showed that numer-
Gus communications had been re-
ceived from different parts of
the United States and Canada offering
reasons why delegates from certain
bodies were not present.
The following resolutions were then
offered by J. H. Wales, and adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has been demonstrated
beyond doubt that national organiza-
tions of special trades or caIlings
are of incaIculable benefit to the
members thereof not only for the
pecuniarv assistance that can be given
in cases of oppressive resistance, but
also in bringing about that spirit of fra
ternity SO necessary to the cause of la
Dor, and, whereas, the coal-miners OF
the county, large and increasing pOr-
ton of the industry thereof are being
continually imposed upon by and
through various corporate mOnopolies,
therefore, be it
Reso5Ved, That the industrial congress
| earnestly recommend to the miners OF
the country to organize a national asso-
citation.
Resolved, That the delegates from the
numerous unions to the congress be re-
quested to urge upon their constituencies
| the formation of a national union.

The DecisIon in 1he City of Washington
Investigation

HALIFAX, July 17.-The decision OF
the court of inquiry into the loss OF the
City of Washington concludes as fol-
lows: son the second and third of July
soundings might have been obtained,
and by that means fresh departure
taken, out unhappily the presumption
that they were too far to the southwark
for soundings prevailed, and LED the
master of the vessel to neglect
this necessary preeaution. TO this
omission, together with the deviation of
compass, may. be attributed the loss of
this fine ship. 1t would appear that a
good lookout was kept during the voy-
age, and that no blame can be attached
to any OF the uniOr officers of the ship.
1t was imprudent to ignore the dead
reckoning between the twenty-fifth and
tWenty-seventh of June, which showed
that the ship was considerably to north
ward, and this could not have been due
to a current. 1t must have been shown
that the compass had large amount OF
easterly deviation. 1t was also inn
prudent to pass the grand banks of New
foundland without trying for soundings,
to correct the reckoning, seeing that
for six DAYS no observations could be
taken, and that thick weather prevailed
for two days. After SO passing the banks
it was highly inprudent to continue on
full speed without casting the lead to
show the ship was off soundings, and
particularly so when it ought to have
been known by the master that
SO much iron and steel had
been placed on board The ship since
com pass corrections had been OBJ
tanned. Under these circumstances
