SCOTT AND GRAHAM GONE.

The death OF the Hon. William A. Ora
ham, of organic disease of the heart, was
announced as having occurred Wednesday,
at Congress Hall, Saratoga. He had been
at the Springs about three weeks, and was
confined to his room four days previous TO
his death. Governor Graham, fOr some
years retired from active political life, was
formerly prominent public man. Born
in Lincoln county, North Carolina, Sep
tember 5th, 1904. He was educated to the
law, and in 1888 was elected to the lower
branch of the Legislature of his native
State, of which he was several times speak
er. He served in the United States Senate
from lSiI to 1S43, and was Governor OF
North Carolina from 1915 to 1919. He
ranked high in the councils of the old Wing
party. and upon the Cabinet Of President
Fillmore he was made Secretary of the Ma
w, resigning that position in June, 1852,
when he received on the Winfield Scott
ticket the Wing nomination for Vice-Presi-
dent. He opposed secession, but went in
with his State when she declared herself
out Of the Union, and served Tor one year
as Senator in the Confederate Congress. In
1866 he was delegate to the so-callet
Union Convention in Philadelphia. Gov.
Graham was an able and digniied man,
and his loss will be severely felt by the peo-
pie OF North Carolina.

THE MoRMoNs STAND BY LEE.

The jury in the case OF Bishop Lee, ac-
cused OF participation in the Mountain
Meadow massacre, failed to agree, end
was discharged. No one was surprised
at the result. 1t was Just what was ex-
pected. Lee had the intense support of the
Mormons, who constitute the great major
ity OF the population in Utah, and the pros
ecution labored under great disadvantages.
The jury stood nine for acquittal to three
for conviction, wich is the same rs in the
other and still more celebrated case at
Brooklyn. 1t would be a waste OF time and
money to atiemp. to bring the Mountain
Meadow assassins to justice. They have
too strong following. The church of the
Latter-Day Saints is bound to stand by
them. To convict Lee would be to convict
the church, and strike fatal blow at its
very foundation. OF course, whatever per-
jury, bribery or pressure" of any kind
may be necessary to his escape from JUS
tice, will be furnished without hesitation
The developments on the trial were such
as to satisfy every reasonable man that Lee
was implicated in the massacre, and tha,
the horrible deed was perpetrated in accor-
dance with the policy of Mormonism.

HON. D. LOWE RESIGNS.

Judge Lowe informs us that he has for
warded to Washington his resignation as
Chief Justice of Utah, and that he will re-
sumo the practice of law in this city.
During the brief period he has occupied
the highest judicial position in Utah,
Judge Lowe has fully sustained his reputa-
tion as an able jurist, and has given better
satisfaction than any Of his predecessors.
We learn from a prominent attorney OF
Salt lake City, II the bar
of that place reg; d him as
by far the best judge they ever L I'd in Utah
As man, he is popular and y, y highly
esteemed. No doubt they will d. eply regret
to learn of his determination to resign. But
Judge Lowe, it appears, wodld rather prac'
tice law at his old home in Kaasas than
dispense justice in Ut; h. In bel If OF his
professional friends, and our citizens in gen
eral, we extend to him most cordial wei.

We can truthfully say that no public
man in the State stands better with the peo
pie than Judge Lowe. His four years in
Congress was devoted to the interests of hi,
constituents, and he retired to private life

and will undoubtedly have a large and
profitable practice in this State. We wish
him all success in the future.

THE Crops

One OF the commercial agencies has Is
sued a crop circular, from which we iearn
that in Indiana and Ohio, heavy rains over
a large portion OF each State, have INJURED
wheat in the shock, and the overflow OF the
Ohio and other rivers has caused good deal
of damage to corn. The advices are mol
quite 70 alarming as many we have seen
nublisbed. but are 20 unfavorable as to JUS
tify the statement that those States VIII fall
far short of the average crop. Estimates
Of the loss in the entire States OF corn and
wheat vary considerably, but from all that
we can gather we fear it must he put down
at not less than 40 per cent.
In Pennsylvania, corn promises very
heavy and good crop, and the late rains
have been rather beneficial than otherwise.
Oats were not Gown as early as usual, and
will not give two-thirds crop. Hay and
fruit deficient.
In Maryland, wheat and other small
grain were harvested in good condition,
The quality is frst-rate, but the quantity
will not be more than half crop. Corn il
generally very forward, looks very well, and
promises large yield. Hay is shorter than
usual, but the fruit crop, peaches especially,
promises well.
In Georgia reports continue favorable In
most of the counties, but some complain oi
drought. Liberty, Campbell, Worth, Clay
and Fayette counties especially report seri-
Gus injury, and in Worth cotton is opening
prematurely.
In South Carolina corn being later than
usual, the dry, hot weather Of July ha;
awakened some fears, but few days rain
world bring it up. Cotton also needs rain
though not yet so badly injured as com
Taking the whole State, the condition oi
the crops was generally very favorable to
the LIST instant.
In North Carolina, if the season contin'
ues favorable, corn will be a full average
Tobacco will greatly exceed both in guam
tity and quality. The peach crop is an en-
tire failure. Apples less in quantity, but
of good quality. Oats and wheat are about
fair average.
In Delaware, the condition Of the grow
ing crops is good. Wheat light in the
straw, but headed well. Corn looks very
we'll. Peaches and small fruits generally
very good. The peach crop is estimated al
100000 bushels.
In Florida, cotton is maturing prema
turely. Late corn and sweet potatoes art
also suffering from extremely hot, dry
weather.
From other States in the Northwest and
Southwest adyices do not materially change
the reports heretofore published. At the
same time we learn of loss and damage on
bottom-lands by the floods. The appre
hension of greater loss is felt, and colon
all the reports received. We do not, there
fore, quote any, because the injury actually
done, except in Ohio and Indiana, is moi
sufficient to justify the publication of alarm
ing paragraphs.

of statesmen and inanciers. A great strug-
gle is going on, and the result principally
hinges upon the financial question. The
Democrats came out boldly in favor Of in
ilation. This declaration aroused the Re
publicans, and we behold them fighting
bravely and persistently against their OPP
ponents, determined to elect Gov. Hayes by
a large majority. Allen came into the
Gubernatorial chair, with a very small ma
joriiy, he has done nothing to merit re-
election, and undoubtedly viii be defeated
in November. He has always been hard
money man, but for the sake of power and
Office, he sacrifices principle, and is now a
blatant infationist. Cary, the candidate
on the same ticket for Lieutenant Governor
has always been piohibitionist, violent
and aggressive temperance man, crusader
and fanatic, and yet to-day we hear him
assert that while he does not drink, he re-
cognizes the right of every man to regulate
his own appetite. Can Democrats cons;s
tently support ticket Of this kind? Do
not Allen and Cary of 1875 denounce Allen
and Cary Of the preceding years as demo
gogues and unprincipled politicians? W.
think they do, and believe that Ohio agree:
| with US.

sHEARNAN's SPEECH.

1t was hardly necessary for Mr.. Shear
man, in making his London speech in vim
dication of Beecher, to assail the generally
good reputation of the clergymen of this
country. In his address at the City Temple
in that city, July 22d, he alluded to Mr..
Beecher's propensity for kissing the women
OF the congregation and he said that I'll
such things were wrong, no doubt Mr.
Beecher was wrong, but if 90 the vast pro-
portion of American society must be con.
demned, for Mr.. Beecher is really more
cautious in his relations with the ladies
brought up in his church, than is usual
among the clergymen in America" This
shows that Mr.. Shearman either knows
nothing about the American clergy, or vii.
fully misrepresents them. There is nc
clergyman in good repute who goes through
his congregation indulging in promiscuou:
kissing and slobbering. This little habit ol
Bro. Beecher's is what ruined him, and We
hope that as Plymouth Church has profted
by the lesson, that congregations in the
West will not allow their pastors Liberties
which laymen dare not take.

ARE REPUBLICANS SMALL POTATOES y

Now that Andrew johnson is not likely
again to infiict upon the people OF Tennes.
see those lengthy campaign speeches, which
drew him 80 many supporters, the paper.
are seeking suitable man to succeed him
in the United States Senate. We fear that
an old Confederate will he elected as hi.
successor. In fact the Bourbon Democrats
are already exulting over the expected vic
tory. On this subject the Platte City NO.
Landmark says:
There is much speculation as to who
will be the successor of Andy johnson, as
Senator from Tennessee, and the Republic.
an papers sneeringly predict that whoever
he may be he will he a Confederate. We
presume they are correct, for all the repre-.
sentative men of the South were Confeder-
ates. Andy johnson being gone, where is
there another Union man, so-called, in Ten.
nessee who has the brains to properly rep
resent the intelligence of the people Of Ten
nessee at Washington ? No, they must ell
ther send a Confederate or be represented
by man of very inferior ability, and as
the people of the South when left to their
own choice have not been accustomed to
being represented by small potatoes, We
guess they will now do as they please, and
send a Confederate to the Senate, even if il
does displease loyal Republicans.
The above We regard as plain, frank
and candid expression CT the party to
which the Landmark owes allegiance. Loy-
al men are regarded as "small potatoes, y
and "the representative men of the South
were Confederates," Then We suppose tha,
the next thing in order viii be to reward
Toombs and Preston with seats in Congress.
What does the North think of it?
