7 suppose you have heard of people

have not got soft time here, | don't
know where they have. 1t rains
twenty hours out of the twenty-four,
and has for the past six weeks. The
creeks are overlooked, and the fiat
lands are submerged. 1t is not safe
to 90 into the corntields, as there is
danger Of miring. The farmers have
Just finished cutting their wheat, be-
ing four weeks late on account of
the rains. The wheat is all spelling
in the shock. The oats are all flat
down. The meadows are all spelling
some of them covered with water.
We have no grasshoppers, but the
army worm is destroying the oats,
meadows and some broom-corn fields,
but have not heard of them doing
any damage to the Indian corn yet.
Our farmers cannot do any work on
account of the wet weather and come
to town verymorning and sit around
all day with faces as long as a Yer
mont mule turned out to die. The
apple and peach crop is an entire fail
ure, but we have plenty of small
fruit. The potato crop is immense.
l never saw the like. New potatoes
are selling at 40 cents per bushel, and
will soon fall to twenty cents. We
will have the largest and best potato
crop ever raised in the State.
The political campaign in this state
is growing in interest. Old political
lines are completely ignored on the
financial question. You find many
Republicans who will vote for Allen
because they favor imitation, and
many Democrats who will vote for
Hays the Republican candidate, or
not at all. In this mixed state Of af-
fairs it is hard to predict the result
with anything like certainty. Both
parties are confident, and each claim
that it will win. The indications
now are that a heavy vote will be
polled, as the excitement runs high.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

The election for County Superin-
tendent of Public Schools and Boards
Of Education, will take place next
Friday, August ID. We believe the
only candidate for the position of
County Superintendent, as yet before
the people, is Capt. Elias M. Walker,
the present incumbent. Martinsburg
district has no part in this election.
1t is the people of the county outside
of this district that are directly in
terested, and we believe it is the gen
eral desire that Mr.. Walker should
fill the position for another term, hav-
ing discharged the duties to the sat
isfaction of the taxpayers, and those
most directly interested in the success
and prosperity of the schools. The
only object with the people should be
to secure the best man for the place.

Investigation is progressing in New
Orleans as to alleged frauds in the
payment of employees working in the
custom-house. 1t is charged that
many mechanics and artisans who
accepted work on account of dull
times as laborers worked as me-
chanics, signing blank pay rolls and
receiving a dollar and three quarters
per day, while the government was
charged four to five dollars per day
for their services. 1t is also stated
that much of the work done by these
skilled mechanics was afterwards
covered by contracts, and the gov
eminent made to pay again for the
same work.

AMERICAN CREDIT.

Ex-Secretary McCulloch has writ
} ten another letter devoted mainly to
the subject of American credit
abroad, in the course of which he
says:
: 1t may not be too much to say
that the Union was saved by faith;'
by the confidence which was placed
by our own people and by foreigners
in the assurances and pledges Of the
Government speaking through its au-
thorized representatives. Although
no foreign loan was directly made,
the ability of our citizens to subscribe
and pay for the bonds which were is
sued depended upon the market which
was opened for them in Europe
chiefly in Germany and Scotland. -
The people of the United States owe
a debt of gratitude to the Germans
and Hollanders for the confidence
they had in our securities, while,
with rare exceptions, the investors in
all the other European markets re-
garded them with distrust. The deal
ers in United States bonds in New
York and othor seaboard cities know
how important the German and Hon
land markets were to us in the days
of our greatest financial troubles
The German and Holland purchasers
of our bonds saw that they were in
the usual form of national obliga-
tions-that they were payable in dol
larS-not like the compound interest
on the $40 notes, in lawful money,
but in dollars, and they took it for
granted that Secretary Chase, his
Immediate successors and their
agents, spoke by authority when they
stated, with the full knowledge of
the Executive and the law-making
branches of the Government, that by
dollars was not meant irredeemable
promises, but gold. Indeed, without
such assurances, they would not
have supposed that bonds intended
to be sold in other countries as well
as in the United States could be pay
able in anything else than coin, the
only international currency of the
world.
Mr.. McCulloch has no fears that
the Government will ever violate its
faith to its creditors, but he states
that such resolutions as were adopt
ed last year by convention in Indi-
ana, and the mwise utterances of
some of our journals, are used by for
eigners who are hostile to the United
States to depreciate our national Gre
dit, thus rendering it more difficult
rapidly to fund our per cent. bonds
in bonds bearing a lower rate of in
terest. a reduction in the rate of in.
terest in the United States is greatly
to be desired, and reduction of the
rate which the Government is paying
would tend directly to bring this
about. Hence it is important, as
well for the diminution of the burden
of the public debt as for the benefit
of our people in their private trans
actions, that the National credit
should be placed on the highest pos
Sible basis.

AW0rd to the Town Assessors
TO the Editors ef the Independent

70 tie Editors Of the Independent !:
We had hoped that our new Town
Council in making their assessment
for corporation levy would have to
some extent done justice to the prop
erty holders of the Borough by bring
ing the railroad property ON the du-
plicate for taxation, as we can see
no reason why large corporation
should not pay equally on their prop
erty with their employees or other
parties, while they are enjoying tile
same protection under the laws of
the Borough and watchful care of
the town officers; or is it because
they are corporation and have a Ii
cense as such to rasp gold dust from
the dry bones of the laboring classes?
Now, gentlemen assessors, you are
both aspirants for political favors and
see to it that your action in the pre-
misses will stand the test of public
criticism.
