The Wheat CrOD.

we print elsewhere an elaborate ex-
position of the wheat crop and the
probable price it will reich. The
pun Oh the wheat prospect is that this
year there is apparently but one Gus
Toner IN the market for wheat. viz.
Treat Britain, and that the estimated
requirement of this customer is about
lo,OOO,OOO to 100000 bushels. while
hussia, Germany, Turkey, Hungary.
ana other European countries have a
suiliclent surplus this year to satisfy
the requirements of Great Britain. In
addition TO this, we also are ready IN
export some 7O,OOO,OOO or so 900 O65
bushels of wheat. 1t appears, further,
that wheat has fallen from $50 i'm
September, 1873, to Sl2O in Septem-
Der, lstI; and, what is Of The most
Fltai importance, the farmers are
holding back their crops in order. as
IL seems, to secure higher prices.
30 shoFt-sighted policy on the mar,
ni FARMERS Is unfortunate. The facts
tllaI there Is am OYer-supply of wheat

IN england seem to be fully establish
ed' II Is therefore obvious that the

plIed a. early as November or DecenI-
Der with 100000 bushels, all the ad-
dltlonal supply must necessarily be de.
pressed in price And if we allow
Russia, Hungary, Turkey, and Ger
many 10 take the keen edge Off the de-
mand, we will only in the end force
our great wheat surplus on an over
stocked market. IL is indeed not en-
couraging 10 tiud that our purchasinp
power AS measured by the standard OF
wheat, tor instance, has so decreased
that anything like an average crop in

THE WHITE LEAGUE" is the
name given to an organization which
has figured conspicuously in the recent
troubles in Louisiana. An associated
press dispatch, speaking Of the organi-
cation, says
1t is supposed in official quarters that
white men 5 leagues for aggressive purpO-
ses are widespread in the South, and there's
fore matters are more serious than many
suppose, and require prompt attention, es-
pecially in Louisiana.
a special dispatch to the Courier
Journal from New Orleans, speaks Of
meetings being held, at which protests
were made against the course of Nc
Emery and Penn, in surreudering to
the United States troops, and says:
The White League organization, it was
declared should be maintained intact
This organization is not one of those
which heralds its principles to the
world, and expects to gain strength
upon their baasted correctness. Hence,
we have no certain means of knowing
what it expects to accomplish, or VIII It
its principles are. But, judging from
a the lights before US, it is something
similar 70 the " Knights of the Golden
Circle, - who prided themselves upon
being able to annoy the Union soldiers
by attacking them in the rear in the
latter years o. the late war, or like
the kukluX klaus OF later
day. II is an adjunct OF
States Rights Democracy, aud is com,
posed entirely of men who are un-
friendly to the United States Govern
ment. 1t is this class Of men who
have taken the lead in Louisiana. 1t
is for this organization that the organs
of .outltwry, such as the Press and
Herald, are now .apologizing and de-
Tending. If the White League
should become strong enough to carry
out its designs, the United States
Government would not stand twelve
months.

PRESIDENT GRANT AND LOUISIANA.

The country breathes freer this
morning, for more than ever the Amer
lean people feel that a firm, tue, bold
hand guides the ship of State. The
dark shadow that for three days has
hung over the land is disappearing,
but the fears aud anxiety and suspense
it has awakened will not soon be for
gotten. In the midst of peace and
prosperity, the nation was startled by
the thunders that rocked the CONT
nent in 1851, and men in terror and
surprise turned their eyes towards
Washington to see if they were to be
drawn again into the horrors ola civil
war, or whether Grant had the wis
dom and force to see aud deal vigorous
ly with the dangers. Not an hour was
lost aud at the first clear note sounded
from the White House, the people were
treasured. The Louisiana rebellion
has been snutled out as summarily as
it flashed on, upon the
startled country. We hope the
danger is past. 1t has, how
ever, developed a spirit through
on. ths South that will arouse the
country from ocean to ocean. We give
elsewhere the speech Of Toombs at At
Iauta Georgia. The spirit of many of
the -outhern Democratic papers is
bitter aud vindictive, and it shows the

The President hal 10 other course
open to him than the one he has pur-
sued. No matter what the merits or
dement's of the Kellogg government
are, Penn detied the laws and authOri-
ty of the Government, when he resort
Ell to force to redress the alleged griev-
ance of his supporters. To have coun-
tenanced him would have been q pre-.
MUM on anarchy, and would have
made the South q Mexico. The Presi-
dent deserves the gratitude OF the peo-
pie for his vigorous and patriotic &C
ton in this matter, and he will receive
1t. Let East Tennessee make its voice
heard and felt.

If We. WERE consulting only our
political interests, we would have cause
to thank the Press and Herald and
kindred sheets for the flood of passion

in so many sections has resulted in
violence. But every business man, ey-
cry farmer, every mechanic and every
legitimate business enterprise will feel
the disastrous effects Of all this more
in six months from now, than at this

Itisuunecessary for US so say word
in reference to the nominee for Gov
ernor. His life and character and
fitness for the position to which he
aspires will not be questioned any
where or by any one. He has soably,
honorably aud faithfully served his
State in every position to which he has
been assigned, that it is not necessary to.
day to enterinto any argument to put
forth his claims for the office for which
he is now a candidate. For months
past, Mr.. Maynard has been villified
and abused rs though he had all his
life been a knave and all his public
career had been disgrace to his State.
In the midst Of a public frenzy, man.
ufactured for partisan purposes, an
effort has been made to rob him Of
that public confidence, which a spot
less private character aud an uusul!icd
record as public servant have won
for him and his family. We know
this odium to be unjust. We know
that Mr.. Maynard has it within his
power to explain to the perfect
satisfaction ofevery fair thinking man,
his votes aud sentiments on the Civil
Rights Bill. We are glad that his
candidacy will afford him the oppor-
tunity to appear before the people and
vindicate himself In advance of the
effort that will be made to close the
ears of the public to him, we ask the
people who have known him fora life
time, and who know not a thinr to
his dishOnor, to give him the benefit
OF their calm, imprisoned judgment
when he shall put forth his case. In

know that the men who are
determined to ride into -oilice

peace and prosperity Of the State,
so fear Mr. Maynard's appearance be-
fore the people, that beginning this
morning and continuing until the
day OF election they will put forth
such a howl and such misrepresen-
tation as they hope will blind the
populace and drown the voice of reason.
This IS their policy, this will he their
