LOUISVILLE, July l2.---The Courier
Journal tomorrow will publish the crop
reports from all parts of the State for the
three months past. In southern and west
ern Kentucky not enough rain has fallen
at any one time to lay the dust. The
crops are almost entirely destroyed and
with An abundance from this time on can
not be saved. OF tobacco there will be
scarcely any crop; corn and oats are very
small; but whcai is the best crop for many
wears. Much destitution Is already re-
reported and the governors petltioned to
convene the Legislature to devise some
means Of relief. Rains have fallen in
eastern and central Kentucky during the
last two davs, but too late to afford much
relief. In the mountain districts actual
cases of starvation are reported.

CONGRESSIONAL.

1t seeming TO be the spontaneous senti-
ment of our Democracy TO accord to Col.
Wilson what seems to be his due, We sug-
gest to our friends throughout the district
that no nominating convention be held.
Col. Wilson is fairly before the people
under circumstances that fairly entitle
him to the support of the party; but If It
shall be decided TO hold a convention, we
suggest sometime about the middle Of
August as the time and West Vn!on as
the place, as being most central and
easily accessible to all. To reach this
place our citizens of Lewis, Gilmer,
Calhoun, Writ, Peasants and Tyler will
have long and weary horseback rides, and
We do not think they ought TO be asked
to go further. Other portions Of the dis
trict can easily and conveniently reach
West Union by cars, and we hope they
will do so, that there may be a 'ree, full
and popular expression Of the Democracy.
