The Wheat Crop.

From information cleaned from diff.
fcrent portions of the country, inclnd-
ing almost all OF the heavier wheat
growing regions, we are satisfied that
there has been very great Improvement
in the crop generally during The present
month, aud that the yield will be large
ly in excess of what was looked for four
weeks ago. II was feared that when
the heavy rains ceased there would be
very warm weather, which might in
duce rust, but fortunately there has
been cool, dry weather, and under its
influence the crop has done well. We
have heard Of but few instances where
there arc any signs OF rust whatever,
and in these only upon the blades of the
plant, so that ii is now safe TO predict q
fair average yield. Taking in conncc-
ton with this the largely increased
acreage over last year, we think it pro-
babe that prices will open IL this Sec
ton at about Sl.2j per bushcl for good
merchandise wheat, and that it will We
ry likely decline from that figure by the
middle of July, if not by the first. The
prospect in Georgia is said TO be better
than ever before, and careful estimates
place the crop in that direction at little
less than two and half million bush.
els. Should this be correct, il is not un.
likely that wheat will sell here and at
other points along the railroad at $l.00
per bushel before the surplus is dispos-
cd of, though we hope such may not be
the case.
We throw out this suggcstively--for
The consideration of our friends of the
agricultural districts. Our wheat har-
vest is several weeks ahead OF the west,
and we are pretty confident that it will
be best to sell on the opening market.

Summers Legacy.

The Civil Rights Bill passed the SEN
ate last Saturday with the more objec-
tionable features all retained. So far a.
we have heard an expression, the white
republicans Of this section are outspo-
ken in opposition TO tho measure, re-
garding il not only as disturbing Gle
ment in the party, but fraught with in

ii was ostensibly framed, At this hour
the popular current against il in Eas;
Tennessee is strong enough to sunder
party ligatures and render them as fee
bic as ropes of sand. The Sena,e, which
in the earlier history OF the Republic
was called the conservative branch OF
the national legislature because further
removed from the people than the other
house aud less liable TO be affected by
popular clamor, put the bill through by
strict party vote, and cast the RESPONSE
bility of either completing or defeating

tatives will meet that responsibility is
not altogether apparent at THIS time.
We think, however it will pass, though
il is not impossible that it may be post.
poned and filibustered over TO he next
session. The House has alrcadyrefused
by decided vote TO take up the bill out
of its regular order, which, MS we I'M.
derstand it, protracts definite action I'M

time is short, il is hardly worth while
TO consume space in speculation, or to

Judge Mackey, of South Carolina,
zone Of the fiercest radicals in the State,
declared In recent speech that the over
flow of the Mississippi, by which two
hundred thousand people are rendered
homeless, was due to tae corruption aud
pecuation of the radical party, which
stole the S300O00O0 which the States
along the river contributed to keep the
leveos in repair. II is great pity that
tho men who stole the money were not
swept away by the food. But when
that food came every rascal OF them

From Washington.

A dispatch Of the 25th says: There
is no doubt tina. Secretary Richardson
will soon retire from Office. but some OF
his friends say he will not do SO until
definite action shall have been taken on
the subject Of the Sanborn contracts
The President leaves to Richardson the
fixing of the time Of reIlr ecy, and will
nominate him to I'll the vacancy on the
bench of the Court of Claims, which he
is now prepared TO accept In view OF
his intended resignation as Secretary.
An impression prevails In Senatorial
and official circles that Secretary Delano
will BIO appointed as Richardson's sue
ccssor, although there Is no positive
authority for the statement.
