GLOOMY NEWS PROM THE UPPER
CUMBERLAND.

A ,well-informed friend, writing us
from the Mouth of Wolf, Clay county,
tells this discouraging story of damage
done by the continuous rains in that
section: Grain, rain, rain! All bust
ness in the farming line has ceased.
We have had nothing but rain for
about three weeks. Wheat-mostly
yet in the shocks, exposed to the
weather, and greatly damaged. Early
corn well cultivated is doing well; but
late corn had not received its full COM
plement of work, therefore will be very
short. Even if the Providence that
governs all things sees proper to give
us a favorable season, it Will be impos-
sible for Clay and the adjoining eoun-
ties to make half a tobacco crop. The
present prospect fayors almost another
failure of tobacco. All mills and
factories not food-proof have failed to
withstand the intimidation. The water
is now over all bottom lands, and it is
still raining. Large fields of corn and
tobacco have been drowned out."

HENDRICKS FOR THE GREENBACK
PLATFORM

The Indianapolis correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette rep telegraphs as
follows to that paper under date of
"wednesday: 1T is generally under.
stood here that Gen. Thomas Ewing's
visit to this city yesterday was solely
in the interest of the Ohio Democracy,
and that before his departure he re.
ceived the pledge of Gov. Hendricks to
take q hand in the canvass, in the
latter part of August, as a Pendle-
tonian-mOney man. Your correspondent
has this very direct, and further that
Senator Thurman has consented to ad-
vocate the same views. 1t is also as
serted that Mr.. John Shoemaker, as
proprietor of the Sentinel, will swing
into line at an early day and labor side
by side with the Enquirer. Senator
Mcdonald stilFhangs fire. He has re-
pcated and referred the his Greencastle
hard.money speech too many times to
go squarely back on IT ut this early day;
but he has agreed 10 think any
the less OF Hendricks for doing
so. 1t is not likely that the
Senator will 60 into Ohio, and
up to this time he has received no in
vitation to go" We have no idea that
the correspondent is correct in his
statement as TO Thurman, and do not
comp ehand very clearly what is meant
by a "Pendletonian-money man."
Messrs. Hendricks and Thurman are
either for the currency plank of the
Ohio Democratic platform or they are
against it. IF they see fit to adopt
Mr.. Pendleton's exposition of its prinoi-
pies. so much the better. That, how
ever, would not necessarily make
them Pendletonian' money men or
Allen-money men, butsimply represen-
tatives Of the views entertained by the
great mass of Democrats in Ohio as
well as throughout the West and South,

HEARING FROM THURMAN.

Senator Thurman makes his first
speech in the Ohio campaign, at Mans
field, tomorrow. His peculiar attitude
on the currency question has directed
the eyes of the whole country toward
him, and his utterances, whatever their
tenor, will be received with a degree of
interest that has seldom been centered
on any one political leader. In his re-
cent interview with a representative of
the Baltimore Gazette, he gave some
slight intimation Of what his
course would be IN the pend
ing contest; but a correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Commercial who
writes from Deer Park Hotel, Mary
land, where the Ohio Senator has been
spending several days, claims to be
able to foreshadOw more specifically
his opening argument from the stump,
and gives the following authoritative
declaration Of prominent Eastern
Democrat" as based upon frequent
conversations with Nv Thurman upon
the subject: 1T will be a greatspeech.
He will deal largely with the financial
question, reiterating his former avowed
convictions upon the subject, depre-
eating the mistakes Of his party in Ohio
upon that question, and assuming
that the differences between them are
purely personal and not political. he
Will argue that there is as great d.
vcrsity Of opinion upon the financial
question among Republicans as Demo-
Gratis, and that it cannot be made a
party question without a new creation
of party lines. He viii take the ground
that the cry about finance is sounded
to smother the real issues Of the can
vass, and to cover up the impurities Of
Republican control. He will call up.
by way of illustration, the fact that
thirteen Republican Congressman Of
Ohio voted for imitation last session,
and hold that Mt only the leaders Of
that party are as much divided upon
that question as their .pPonents, but
that the rank and file Of the party par
take Of their sentiments. While
standing firmly by the hard-money
record hewiIl deolaim for the success Of
his party regardless Of its m stakes, and
demonstrate his position to be one of
candid fairness toward it, and in per-
feet harmony with strict loyalty to his
former expressions and convictions.
He will assail no one for their differ
ence with him, merely oontending for
the right to enjoy and express his
opinions upon an important subject,
vitality affecting the material interest
of the whole country. These Will be
prominent features Of the effort, but
some new and striking ideas will be
presented, which viii leave Mr.. Thur
man in no unequivocal position to-
wards his party, and which l believe
will fully satisfy the majority Of the
people Of the country"

THE WANT OF AGRICULTURAL
STATESMANSHIP

Judge French, Of Massachusetts,, a
writer Of recognized ability and trust
worthiness, contributes an article to
one Of the leading agricultural papers
of the North, on the use Of capital in
farming. 1t is a subject of great i'm
portance, not simply in agriculture,
but from every point of view, and one
that has been very specifically dis
cussed il this country. He calls at
tention to the fact that in England a
farmer who has only fifty thousand
dollars cash capital, considers himself
too poor to own a farm, but will hire
one of 1000 acrss, and use an
average of fifty dollars per acre in the
purchase Of fertilizers, seeds, breeding
and working stock, farm implements
and machines needed in his business
In this way his capital Of fifty thou
sand dollars is invested, not a dime of
It in land, but IN large manufac-
turing establishment where purchased,
concentrated manures, air and water
are transformed into wheat, barley,
oats and other grain, sold as market
crops; into clover, lucerne, vetches,
peas, beans aud other legumes, aided
largely by the most nutritious grasses,
turnips, beets, carrots and eabbages,'
for the production of meat, butter,
cheese. wool, horses and other useful
animals. Every element Of fertility is
carefully considered, and provided by a
cash investment if necessary to sue
cess.
No landlord permits his land to be
depleted for the benefit Of the tenant;
hence, manure must be made by keep
ing stock, or By purchasing and APP "
ing it to the soil. This system of crop
ping compels both farmer and land
owner to keep a reliable account with
every field, showing, like bank book
h-w much of the raw material, con-
sumed in making crops, has been taken
out of the ground, and how much sup
piled by the cultivator. Such a system
of tiIlage and husbandry owes its exis-
tence to two main causes:
1. The land, with all ITS natural re-
sources, belongs to one party. and its
cultivation from generation to genera
ton to another party.
>. Land ID estates are generally en-
tailed. SO that even the landlord has
only a life interess in the property; but
1t IS the hope Of his family and house,
and the base Of a system of hereditary
law-making and of the ablest ar:stOcra-
cy in the world.
From this brief presentation of
British agriculture, let MS turn to the
study Of our own. The intelligent
reader of this paper need not be told
that whenever forced sales are made of
real estate in this country, prices are
greatly reduced, and the failures of
railroad corporations, merchants, bank
ers, manufacturers, farmers and others,
including States and cities, are nuner-
Gus and disastrous. The venerable
Peter Cooper, Of New York, who
ranks with George Peabody as a public
benefactor, now in his eighty-ffth year,
has a very able paper on our defective
currency IL the Ne10 York EUeHi"g
Post; but he fails TO disclose the true
source of the great evils Of the nation.
Political statesmen of both parties
speaking in Ohio and elsewhere, are
equally unfortunate in not discov-
ering that the long continued misap-

NEW AND BRISTOW.
Another Row in the Treasury DePar

Another Row I'm the Treasury Depart
ment.-
Washington Correspondent Of the Chicago
Times.
When Messrs. Spinner and BTistow
quarreled, it was on account OF the
pugnacious Spinner wanting to have
his own way in administering the at
fairs Of his Office. Secretary Brlstow
declined TO indulge him, and he finally
was thrust aside. Now comes John ,.
New, the new treasurer, and he threat
ems to have either his own way or to
resign; and the difference is that Mr..
Bristow, while declining to give up to
Spinner, graciously yields to the In
dianapolis banker. 1t appears that MIR.
Bristow has been making appoint
nents in the treasurer's Office without
consulting its head, and likewise on has
own authority making dismissals. MIR.
New stood it as long as he could. a
day or two ago, however, he determined
to stop il or throw up his Office. He
went to see Bristow, who began to
reason with him as to the
wisdom of the course that had
been pursued. The plain-spoken
treasurer failed to discern the force of
the secretary's logic, and, with much
feeling, told him that henceforward he
must have the entire control of the
appointments in his Office, or that the
treasurership would be vacated at once.
The result Of the interview was that
Mr.. New retired the victor. To-day,
however, he again became a little
bellicose, because the secretary trans
ferred James Gillian, his cashier, to
the Office of chief clerk. 1t was done,
too, without asking IKE treasurer, and
he did not like it. He says he does
not think the secretary Is treating him
right in thus poaching upon his pre-
serves; that he had Gilfllan appointed
cashier because he had faith in him,
and he thinks Bristow could have got.
ten chief clerk elsewhere, with less
trouble than a cashier can be had
This little unpleasant feeling, however
can be bridged over without any serious
result. The fact is that Mr.. New If
disguised with public life. He is rich
enough to be independent, and he meanE
to be; but it's pretty certain that he
will relinquish the Office he now holds
as soon as he can do so conveniently
without embarrassing Secretary Bris
| tow.
