for popular education are most aSsailed. Ex
Admiral Semmes of the late confederate navy
"a gentleman whom many Maine Republic
cans and Democrats will recall-in an article
recently published, declared his determined
hostility to any plan for the education of
children at the expense of the state.
Tue examples already given are sufficien.
to indicate the retroactive tendency OF the
Democratic leaders in the South. We have
always been free to censure those unworthy
men who under the Republican name have
aided in plundering some of the Southern
States. We rejoice that they have had their
day but it may be said of them that they took
measures, however faulty. to establish sys-
tens of public education, which would in
time elevate the people to state of intelli-
gencc which would not tolerate their mis-
rule. But what can be said tor Democratic
reconstruction as indicated in their policy
toward the common school system? The ig-
norance and ostracism which the defunct
system of slavery entailed upon the South,
the Bourbon leaders there are evidently de-
termined to continue by other means. We
take pleasure in their expressions of good
will to the North and of their newborn de-
votion to the Union, but cannot lose sight
of the many indications that they are deter
mined that such New England ideas as a
general and well supported system of public
instruction shall not become to any extent
the policy of the South to rescue it from the
the disasters which always result from litter
ate and consequently vicious masses.

The Crop Prospects.
Effects of the Present storms ON England
md America-A Grave Question for all
Parties.
REFORM.

Latest European advices in relation to the
crops, are briefly as follows: England-Lon-
don-The numerous predictions Of an early
harvest this year have not been fulfilled. The
almost continual rainfall during the past fort
night has greatly retarded the maturing ofcrops
and, even with the most favorable weather
harvesting will not be general in the southern,
eastern and midland counties before the middle
of August. The wheat crop has suffered Sc
verely from the heavy rains of the present
week. and is more twisted and beaten down
than any crop since 1860. Wheat generally is
thinly planted. Barley is bulky crop, and
with favorable weather will produce more than
an average yield.
The Daily Bulletin publishes in an article on
Poratcn 81 8feat intd the 'ot odfted khgdom
during the past ten years, showing that, while
importations from Russia and Germany have
gradu lily decreased, those from the United
States have increased enormously, aud on an
average of the last three years the United
States have sent 80 per cent. of England's i'm
pOrtatIons. For the five years ending with 1869,
the total average yearly importation was S29.-
$4,000 cwts.; and of this average from the
United States was 5,018, 900 cwts. (; aud for the
five years ending last December the total aver
age was SO, 9,561, 800 cwts of which the United
States sent an erage Of 15 S53 900, an increase
of 10, 435, 900 cwts. The Bulletin says that this
rapidly changing relation in the sources of the
supply to Great Britain is very important in
view of the present disasters to the crops on
both sides of the Atlantic; that, judging from
the gloomy accounts respecting the uEnglish
crops. the wheat requirements of that country
for the next year win be unusually large, aud
England will be a greater degree than ever be-
fere dependent upon the United States. The
Bulletin inquiries the feasibility of exporting
large quantities of grain from this country
should the rains and floods here continue, and
considers the present crop question serious
one for both countries.
In another article, it gives comparison be-
tween the present rainfall and that of several
years past, to show that the fall of rain this
season has no precedent IN the experiences Of
late years. The atmospheric changes both here
and in Europe are rated at some length as af-
fordirg subject for scientific observation by
which the phenomena of the seasons, embracing
the whole earth, may be foretold, and afford
the husbandman an opportunity to provide
against their disastrous cOuseduences

THE KoRAN.-We are told by all Arabs that
the Koran is the most perfect poetry in the
Arabic language; and yet, when we come to
dull and tedious. 1t is difficult thing for a
European to read through the whole Koran in
translation. He soon realizes it to be differ
ent from what he imagined it. Very possibly
he dreamed of finding therein long and lus-
cious descriptions of the so-called "Moham-
medan paradise that he should read about
houris and the tree of life, the beast Al-Borak,
rivers of wine, and all these visions of the diff
ferent heavens usually attributed to the proph-
ct. He finds not word of all this. Instead,
there i. boundless devotional enthusiasm, all
the vocabulary of praise to God. long moral
lectures, Old Testament stories in different
form, familiar reference to all the Jewish
patriarchs, prophets and kings; an equally con-
slant reference to the facts OF the gospels, but
in a somewhat different dress: and finally fierce
denuuciations, in strain of the most awful
solemnity, of the infidels who will not believe
in the truths of God. of doctrine he finds no
subtlety. Mohammed proclaims but one fact,
opens with Al-Fatihat, "rhe Preface" so it
naturally closes with the simple and sublime
Declaration" chapter of itself. The words
Of those chapters are texts for all the rest of
the book. It enlarges, it dlates, ampfies, ilu-
trates, reiteratas the one grand declaration,
''Ld Iuahd, IL AIah"-"No God but God" All
the rest is written only to give that weight.
The fact that Mohammed is the prophet OF
God is a mere incident, like the "Thns saith
the Lord of the Hebrew prophets. 1t is to
show whence came the message. That mes.
sage is the one thing OF importance to man,
God" When that message is believed, the
morality OF the Koran follows with equal
simplicity. Prayer and charity are the whole
duty of man. Not prayer as an importunate
begging for favors, bus prayer which is only
praise and anxiety to be kept in the faith Of
| God; not ostentatious almsgiving, miscalled
charity, but charity as complete and genu'
| inc as that described in Corinthians. Such
as we find ALFathihat we find the whole book

WE would merely intimate to those well
meaning people who are getting up societies
which debar foreign born citizens from mem-

that less than hundred years ago, theirian-

rule. 1t is a laudable purpose to institute So
cieties to jealousy guard our free school sys-
tenn, but to encourage organizations which
base distinctions between man and man
simply upon the accident of birth place, is
as unjust and as much at variance with the
genius of our institutions as to make political
distinctions because of race and color. Many
