Resolved, That we heartily endorse

The lynching of sixteen negroes at
Trenton last Wednesday night was a
cowardly and dastardly affair, even if
if they had been guilty of some crime
-PUlaSki Citizen.
Does our friend of the Citizen think
it no crime to band together and try
to murder a whole community? We
know McCord too well to believe that
he entertains any such feeling. We
attribute the above to carelessness,
and yet carelessness in some instances
is criminal. Just such sentiments as
the above will encourage the negroes
to all kinds Of deviltry. We agree
with the Citizen that the act of taking
the negroes ont Of the hands of the
law was criminal, but we do not for
get what led to it. Blood is thicker
than water

Arkansas Dried I'm.

The drought continues throughout
the State. From the information de-
rived from all sources, we are now
satisfied that this protracted absence
of rain will work most ruinous conse-
quences. The corn crop may be re-
garded Il total failure. 1t is now past
redemption. The top crop of cotton,
a few weeks since so promising, will
amount to little or nothing, thus cut
ting the aggregate one-half short Of
+ rmer expectations. The grass, both
in the inclosure and upon the COM
mons, has persisted. Stock is now in
a suffering condition in many localities.
Without the utmost exertion of indus
try and economy, partial famine
with immense suffering must ensue.
The people should bravely face the
fact at once, and fortify in the best pos
sible manner.-Littie Rock Republican.

We thank the jackson Wing and
Tribune, Winchester Home journal
and the other two or three papers in
this State for their patriotic kindness
in telling the world that others were

haste to conciliatc the North, too
llany Of our friends of the press have
forgotten the negro outrage and the
great danger our women and children
were subjected TO, and abused our peo-
l,le numerically for the act of un-
known parties.

The New Orleans Outlook.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 1.-The follow
ing is condensed from the National
Cotton Exchange crop report for Au-
gust: In Mississippi, Louisiana, Ar
kansas and Tennessee the crops are
generally suffering from drOuth. The
prospects are less favorable than at
the same time last year, and, though a
month ago they were generally later,
the picking commenced quite as early,
the drouth causing premature open
ing. In Alabama, Virginia, North
Carolina and South Carolina the con-
dition is as good as last year. In Geor-
gia and Florida the crop is injured by
drouth. The conditions are now less
favorable than last year. In Missou-
ri the prospects are unfavorable, and
picking will be commenced ten or
twelve days earlier than last year.
In Kansas the condition is better than
last year. In Indian Territory the
plant is suffering from drouth and
picking is ten TO fifteen days earlier
than last year.
