EUROPEAN CROPS.
LONDON, Sept 2S.-The Mark Lam
Express In its review Of the crop prospects
says the recent rains have materially
benefited the root crops. There has been
too much rain however for late potatoes
which have shown the commencement Of
disease, and this will cause greater de-
mand upon the lower descriptions OF
wheat and prevent their further deprecin.
ton. Grass possesses the verdure Of spring
which will help growers TO carry their
stock through winter Notwithstanding the
deficiency in the hay and straw crops.
The wheat trade shows neither encourag.
ing nor discourAging features. Prices in
France are still lower, but elsewhere on
the continent they are unchanged, except
OF Odessa, where the market q firmer in
tho hope that the fine quality Of the crop
will eventually secure betterlprices.

Bank redemption agency has called upon
the National Banks within the last six
days for about four million three hundred

The President and LouIsIapa,

Published By Request from the N. Y. Tribune

Here is the New York Third Term
Convention clAmoriDg for the summary
suppression ofrevolts against "a duly Or
ganized State. government" Here are
the friends Of the President spplaudiDg
his promptness in sending troops and
gunboats to restore law and order in New
Orleans. Here are party organs lying in
the most outrageous manner about the
duty Of the Federal Executive to sustain
the decisions OF the courts, and the utter
inability OF Gen. Grant TO take the res
possibility OF deciding between Kellogg
on the one side and McEnery and the
people on the other. What Is the truth
about this matlerP We purpose TO show
that Grant himself was the prime mover
In the Kellogg usurpstlon; that hensver
followed the orders Of the courts, but
went before them.
At the beginning Of December, 1872,
(Warmouth being then Governof), the
two cauvassipg boards, known as the
Wharton and Lynch boards, had both
been superseded by the promulgation Of
q law passed at the previous session oi
the Legislature, under which the De
Ferret board was subsequently appointed.
This, according TO the report oil the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee, was thereafter
the only body competent 10 make a legal
canvass Of the votes. Yarmouth had
called the Legislature 10 meet in extra
session December 9th. Thus far there
had been no canvass Of the returns for
Governor, and Durell had taken no ac-
ton. There had been, of course, no re.
sistance 10 the courts; there was no res-
son to believe that there would be apy,
1t does not appear that the Marshal Of
any other officer had asked for troops;
yet on the Sd Of December Attorney
General Williams telegraphed the follow.
ing extraordinary message TO Marshal
Packard: "You are 10 enforce the de-
crees and mandates Of the United State!
Courts, no matter by whom resisted, and
General Emory will furnish you with al
necessary troops for that purpose
Mr.. Williams evidently knew what
was coming. On the night Of the 9th
Of December-still no trouble and no de-
mand for military ald-two batteries ol
the First Artillery were moved into New
Orleans. On the same night Judge Dur
rell Issued bis famous midnight order
made illegally, out Of court, without the
form even Of judicial process, command
Ing the Marshal to take possession Of the
State House and prevent the assembling
OF the Legislature,-An order Of which
Senator Carpenter said, at is impossible
TO conceive Of more irregular. illegAl
and In every way inexcusable act on ihe
part Of q Judge; Il had no more legal ef;
feet than an order Issued by any private

A MOTT remarkable newspaper is the
Cincinnati EnQuirer. It's editor has been
to New York city and carried home q
piece Of news which no other living man
could possibly have found. Here 1t is
ut is great mistake TO suppose that the
people Of New York arc for contraction, a
gold currency, and against gresnback ex-
panslon. On the contrary, one OF the
leading officers of the Manhattan Club
confessed to a friend Of ours recently that
ifthe vote was taken in the city there
would be majority OF $4,000 for legal
tender expansion. Upon awager It was
proposed to stopthe frat hundred persons
who passed tho front door Of tho AstOr
House and ask them which they prefer
red but the gold and bond men shrank
from it, although 1t was insisted that at
least eighty Of the hundred were for legal
tenders. ...s.. r I. .-'s

PHILADELPHIA, Sept, 2S.-The Chicago
and Athletic clubs played hero this after
noon eight innings, at the end OF which
the score stood Z TO 7. The Athletics
first went TO tie bat, and made 3 earned
runs; then the Chicagos, seeing the pros
pect Of defeat, played carelessly TO throw
tho game into the dark and have q draw
on the eighth inning. The Athletics sc.
cured two more runs by this action Of the
Chicsgos, who, when they found the UNI
pire would not call the game, refused 10
play, and the game was decided in favor
Of the Athletics, o to 0. The game could
easily have been played out. There was
considerable excitement, but no disorder.
