A TELEGRAM from Londousvesterday
Informs Us that the Mark Lane Express,
in its weekly review Of the corn trade,
says: The cereal crop justreaching mstu-
Iity has been saved by fine weather and
we may yet have 3 moderate harvest in
good order. The upward movement has
stopped and prices have relapsed, partly
in consequence Of foreign arrivals, which
are unusually free, but current rates
scarcely reach the average and are still
below those of last year. The. harvest
in France is progressing rapidly, but
general reports indicate less than a fair
average yield, although in Paris and
Msrseillrs prices have fallen two shiIl-
ings. The Belgian aud German mar.
kets show 8 similar change. Official &C
counts Of the crops in Austria and Hun
gary show that there is more likelihood
ola deficiency than q surplus.

DISPATCHES from Louisville assert
that the vote to call a constitutional
convention is very largely in favor in
THIS city. Dispatches from other points
make it somewhat doubtful whether
the question is carried. The specials to
the COWier-JOWHdt show that the ma
jority for M'Crealy is a gain of nearly
five hundred over the Leslie vote. So
fSr as yet heard from, the Democratic
majority in the lower house Legislature
will be about the same as last year. The

no defaite statement can be made a to
M'Creagy s majority.

From an Occasional Correspondent
JORDAN's ALUM SPRINGS, July 28.-
A modest advertisement Of this place
has appeared in your columns for seve-
raj weeks. Your correspondent, with
many other Memphians in quest of
health and pleasure, finds himself the
solitary representative of the Bluff City
at this, the most delightful of all the
summer resorts that herald their claims
to the patronage o. iuvRlids and seekers
of pleasure. Disclsiming any interest,

agement to the favor it deserves, ne
would notice briefly some OF the features
that make the Jordan Alum par erceL-
fence home for those who seek rest
nom the lab0rs OF business or profess
sional life. Possessing all the advan-
tages of situation, in the midst Of the
mountains, there are elk alum springs,
varying in properties, and not Gls-
similar from the famed wat
tiers OF the ROckbridge Alum,
which are FercOlatiOns from the same

alum water, 80 efficscious in giving re-.
lief from dyspepsia. The improvements
have all been made in the last three
years, and are as elegant in style and
comfort a. any metropolitan hotel.
Persons who have had to endure the
scanty furniture and hard beds usually
found at such places, will appreciate the
wOven-wire mattrass, so elastic that it
will respond to grunt, and turn you
over if not resisted. Water, gas, cleo
trio bells and sparkling fountains give
comfort and pleasure not elsewhere
found in the mOuntSins. Then, the
guests are nOttantslized by having their
sppetites sharpened by the tonic waters
and find nothing to eat in the ordinary,
as is too often the case at the more fash
ionable resorts. Let Memphians come
here if they want health, pleasure and
real comfort. This is not written as a
puff, but written in the hope that some
Of my Memphis friends may find 1.-THE

scriptions, the thick growth Of grass and
weeds which the planter is unable to
check, and the extensive "frenehing'
of the plants. The conditions of the
present and last season have been dia-
metrically opposite, as 1874 was the dry
est and 1875 hes been the wet

oldest inhabitant. There is naturally
a disposition To discount too libsr-
ally the results Of such a state Of
things, but we believe it te be q safe es-
innate that the yield Of the crop has
been reduce definitely by the excessive
rains about twenty-five per cent, and
that, instead of a prospect of the largest
crop ever grown, perhaps we have q
promise Of light average yield. This
estimate cannot be realized, however,
unless the weather soon changes for the
better. 1t may be added that the same
weather conditions have prevailed in
the tobacco regions of Indiana, Illinois,
Tennessee, and portions OF Ohio, the
whole section which produces what is
known in the markets Of the world as
Kentucky tobacco. During the last fort
night our exchanges also report that the
Virginia crop has been injured, aud dur

yield.

THE STORMS AND FLOOD.


When Wednesdays storm COM
menced many predicted, and all hoped,
that it would be confined to this vicini-
ty. But it was not 10 be. Indeed it
seems that it had spread over consider
able belt before it embraced Evansville
in its course, and during the most Of the
day and nearly all of last night the
Watera came down in thousands of
drOwned-out fields in this and adjoining
States, sweeping away in many places
all that had been able to survive the
early rains. For days the prospect has
been going from bad to worse, and now,
with threatening weather, still, our
flooded lOW-lands, anu q gradually
swelling river, it is impossible to fore
tell with any Intelligence or reliability
what will be the end. We may be sure
that it will be bad enough. Many will
escape with slight loss perhaps, but with
the msj0rity it viii come in all the pro-
portions of an awful disaster. 1t is no
longer a question of which crop will
produce most in the face OF such dis.
cOuragiDg conditions, but which will es-
cape utter destruction. The wheat, over
q considerable belt, badly damaged be-
fore, is utterly ruined now. The tobacco
fares no better, and day before yester-
days storm has left the corn broken
and damaged-in some places utterly
ruined. The meadows in all the low
lands are simply washed out beyond the
possibility of restoration. The river is
rising rapidly at all points from Pitts
burg 10 Cairo, and the flood III the
smaller streams-Wabash, White river,
etc.-is backing up and getting beyond
control. Oar PstOka correspondent tells
US that if White river continues much
longer to swell at its present rate it will
burst through its banks and lay waste
one of the finest corn and wheat areas
in the State. The same is true of many
other points in our immediate vicinity.
Our reporters elsewhere give very fully
and accurately the result OF careful in
vestigations along both sides Of the Ohio
river above and below, from which it
will be seen that what the people along
the White and WABASH rivers anticipate
has already become 2 reality in the low
lands along the larger stream. Not only
are hundreds of farmers refiding along
the rivers compelled to look on while
everything produced by a whole years
labor is being snstched from them, but
dozens have been compelled to fly from
their threatened homes. This is the
story OF the flood in its present attitude
and dimensions, and it is plain that the
next few days will add much to it. II
the rains cease there is q chance that
the damage will not % much beyond
what has already been sustained, but no
one can feel sure that there is a promise
even Of this.

rHR CAUCUS sYsrEM.

We fully concur in the suggestions
both Of the Appeal and Nashville Ban
ner concerning not only the propriety
but absolute necessity of the Democratic
members Of The Legislature holding g
caucus on the subject Of United States
Senator before proceeding to a regular
ballot in the Capitol next Tuesday. II
is a usage of the party prevalent in all
the other States, and its wisdom is un-
questioned 10 the party ranks. The
argument against the business of this
course that the interests of some especial
individual might be endangered, which
is being used in certain quarters is simply
puerile, and generally comes from the
supporters Of Andrew johnson. There
can be no harm in Democrats getting
together and csnvassing the claims Of
other Democrats who are offering for
United States Senator, and if possible
make matters smooth and harmonious
by uniting on that aspirant who shall
exhibit the greatest strength among the
Democratic legislators; and if Andrew
Johnson don't like it, let him run indie
~pendently as he has been doing for q long
time.

A Civil Rights DecisiOn IN On,,

The e~verrecurring question Of exclud.
ing negroes from theaters is the subject
OF a fresh decision by Judge Griswold, Of
Cleveland, Ohio. Benjamin Gardner, a
negro, bought a ticket to the dress circle
Of the Academy of Music in that city,
and a refused admission to the seat as
indicated on the ticket, the manager tel
ling him that he could only 90 into the
gallery. Gardner brought suit, and has
had it decided against him. Judge Girls
void rules that, although every citizens
stands on a legal equality, this equality
does not appertain to social life, or in
any manner affect the feelings, tastes, or
fashions of people," Hence he decides
that the manager of a theater has the
same right TO follow his own liking in
the admission or exclusion Of persons
from his property that a householder or
store'keeper has, and that, as GARDENERS
ticket was revoked before be had gained
an entrance on it. be received his due
when the money was refunded. He
adds, however, that if a negro is admit.
ted to a theater on a ticket properly
paid for, he cannot legally be elected so
long as he is orderly. He does not re-
gard the Civil Rights act as affecting this
class Of cases.

away the right Of the people 70 vote is
sheer humbug. The people themselves
would be most willing voluntarily to
cease voting q time or two, il that would

of all voting. II the animus Of the OBJ
