wheat crop was good, but oats were very
light, almost failure. We threshed
2,554I bushels of wheat, 2,9554 bushels of

Our farmers are busy sowing their
wheat. and few have commenced cut
ting their corn, which will be an average

advances nothing new. His remarks
wrrc almost literally confined to old

The only thing of the slightest conse-
oncncc to the people to-day, which he
,ourhrd upon was the Southern War
Claims. He was so uneasy lest his party
.bnnld 90 outside of its established record

LEGALLY proved. that he devoted the
greater portion of hi, time to show that

Missouri Republican Convention.
ST.. LOUIS, September 23.-The straight
Republican State Convention, met at
Jefferson City to-day, and was called TO
order by Henry T. Blair, Chairman Of
the State Central Committee, who is said
to oppose bolt. J. c. Parker, Congress
man from the Ninth district, was made
temporary chairman, and the Convention
is now engaged in preliminary business.
During the afternoon session the Con-
vention was permanently organized by
electug Judge Isaac c. Parker, Presi-
dent and the full complement of Vice
Presidents and Secretaries.
Considerable time WAS spent in DIS
posing OF the double delegations from the
sixth and eighth wards of this city, occs-
stoned by bolts in the primary meetings
in these wards, but both sets of delegates
were finally admitted, each delegate be-
ing given half vote. \ new Central
State Committee was then elected and
the Convention adjourned until 7:30 p. nj.
On re-assembling the following plat
form was adopted:
Resotrcd, That we, Republicans of
Missouri, reitcrate our abiding faith
and confidence in the principles
of the Republican party rs expressed in
its National platform Of 1872, and we
further declare that these principles have
received their best expression in the
great and cardinal measures of President
Grants administration.
Resolved, That we regard all political
organizations founded upon race or
nationality as detrimental to good gov
ernment.
Resolved, That we denounce the recent
attempt of the Democratic legislature to
change the investment of the State school
fund into a consolidated State bond, the
interest on which would have been pay
able at the sole pleasure Of the lcgisla
ture, as an insidious attack upon our
public school system, imperiliag the ad-
vantages given to the children Of the
State by Republican legislation.
ResoLred, That inasmuch as the
long continued mis"ule and incom-
potency of administration by our
opponents in this State, leading to inse-
curity of person and property, the pre-
vention of immigration, the utter pros
tration of business, and most ruinous de-
probation ofall species of property, have
at last exhausted the patience OF many
good men among the opposition and
driven them to the nomination Of ticket
pledged to reform in every department
of the State government, and inasmuch
as We have in our ranks none who seek
for themselves the empty honors of Office
outside of opportunity 1t may give to ad-
vance the peace and prosperity of our
people, and inasmuch aS we feel willing
to accept reform from any and allPer-
sons who can give il; therefore we deem
it the part no less Of prudence than of
patriotism, to adjourn this Convention

COMPROMISE Between whites and
Blacks.

New ORLEANS, September pa
compromise has been effected in Ter
rcbonnc parish between the whites and
blacks, and Joint parish ticket, with
capital and labor equally represented,
has been nominated The Republican
parish nominating Convention met on
the 18th and adopted the following:
Be it resolved by this Convention that
we accept and hereby ratify the coIrpro-
mise effected between the Republican
and Peoples party in the parish of Ter
rcbonnc upon the following conditions:
Each of the respective political parties
shall be entitled to one member of the
House of Representatives. That we do
hereby pledge our hearty and undivided
support to the compromise ticket, which
this Convention nOminateS.
The ticket is as follows: Representa-.
tivcS-Edward McCollum, white planter
and W. Ii. Keys, colored; parish
Judge. Names l.. Beldcn, white
Republican; Sheriff Amos SimmS, Coron-
cr. James Madison; Police Jury, W. a.
Shattcr. j. K. Robichaux, and c. Tennet.
Peoples party. Jordan Steward and L.
Warerman, Republicans.
The Terrobannc banner, an official
journal, SAYS: Good work has com
mcnccd in Tcrrobanne. A compromise
has been effected between the Republi-
cans in favor of a good local government,
and the Peoples party. The Peoples
party have put forward gentlemen who
are acceptable to all parties. The RePub-
licans willdo the same. w. H. Keys, rep
resenting this parish in the legislature as
representative labOring man, and Ed
ward McCallum as the representative of
the class that employs and pays the above,
will. beyond doubt, tend to bring these
seemingly conflicting interests together,
and be beneficial to both.
The Picdwmc, commenting on the
above, says the people of that parish have
agreed upon what promises to be pro-
ductive of the happieSt results. Is it not
probable that Tcrrebonne has struck out
the course which shall lead us out of the
wilderness.
WASHINGTON. September 23.-Gov-
ernor Kellogg telegraphed to Attorney
General Williams, as follows: Reports
from the country show that in a number
of cases where our parish officers had
been ousted, the old incumbents are go
ing back peaceably. The country is
quieter than expected, and in the city all
is quiet So far. No reports have been
received from the Red River.
