JUDGE LYNCH as a REPUBLICAN.

No State has been so unhinching in
its support of Republican as Iowa.
While the strength Of that party has
been dwindlng away in every other
section of the Union, the Wolverine
cohsS rts stand as firm as ever. Politi-
cally, she has been all but given up as
irredeemable. The fusion Of Demo
Gratis, Liberals and Anti-Monopolists
viii probably accomplish only = mere
reduction Of the enormous Republican
maiorities by which the State has been
carried for the past fifteen years.
And yet in Iowa-radically Repubi-
can Iowa-JUdge Lynch holds court
two or three times a month with a reg
ularity and precision that are not ex-
cellei by her legitimate tribunals. 1t
10 not so long since that, in the State
capital, one Howard was taken from
Jail and hanged to a lamp-post at the
courthouse gate. The lynching was
perpetrated at midnight and the Wig
iantes were masked. But in the case
of Smith, who was lynched at Oltumwa
on Wednesday last, there was no at
tempt at disguise or concealment. As
the murderer, anotorious desperate, was
being conducted fr~-0 the courthouse
to the jail after - examination, the
mOb-by no means a mob IN the COM
mon acceptation of the term, since it
contained a large part Of the most re-
spectacle residents Of the city-took
him from his guards, hanged him to a
lamp-post at the door Of the City Hall,
and left the corpse swinging there for
twenty minutes, its distorted face in
open view. And this in broad daylight,
in qaiet city of 10000 souls
There can no longer be any question
as to Judge Lynch's politics. He is
Republican 10 the backbone.

THE WHEAT SUPPLY.

Concerning the wheat supply the
Nsl0 York Tribune of Tuesday says
"Our private advices from the Con-
tinent are interesting and important,
their supplies Of old wheat, 1t has been
discovered, IN the hands Of farmers,
prove to be much less than they had
supposed, it having been fed largely
during the winter to their cattle, sheep
and horses; this, coupled with unfa7or-
able prospects for the growing crop,
had caused a decided upward turn at
all their leading markets, and subse-
guent heavy rains had gre. tly increased
the previous apprehension and further
stimulated prices. What the damage
to the crops has been by the deluge of
last week, we may be able to report in
our next. French farmers are greatly
alarmed, but we are inclined to believe
that the damage is greatly mag.
nifed, though, independent of the dam
age by the recent floods, we think
their crop would have been considera-
bly, less than an average; and the same
is true of Holland, Russia, Hungary,
Sweden, and a portion Of Germany
and Austria. One thing is now very
evident: all the old wheat in Europe is
quite certain to be marketed ere the LIST
of October, and all the surplus Of this
country will find ready market there
at fair prices. The bulk Of the wheat
passing the Dardanelles is quickly
taken up for the ports in the Mediter-
ranean, largely for Marseilles, where
prices have improved and stocks are
diminishing, so brisk is the demand
for the interior. Our latest adYices
from Russian ports give gloomy re-
ports Of their crops, and it is very ev-
ident that the surplus of Eastern Eu-
rope the coming season will be mOder-
ate, though timely rains may greatly
change the prospects. From the South
we lave reports of the progress of
the harvest, and the result thus far is
very variable and collectively not very
satisfactory. The crop in Virginia,
Maryland and Delaware proves to be
better near the coast than in the inte-
rior, but the aggregate is below
an average. At the West the
winter heat has been injured some
what by the recent rains and the har.
vest delayed. The estimate of the con-
dition Of the crop, as furnished by the
Agricultural Bureau at Washington,
we think is much too high, and we feel
confident no such result Will be attend
ed. Our advices from the Northwest
are very favorable for their crop, and
should they have good weather and es-
cape the fly and rust, a large return
seems assured; but the season is late,
and much depends uron the weather
this and the coming month. The move
ment Of wheat at the North is quite
light, and it IS very apparent to all in
telligent millers and merchants there
that the surplus of the Northwest was
larely overestimated by Western deal

THE PARIS FIGAROs WATCHES.

A curious case, showing how some
newspapers are conducted In France,
recently came before the Tribunal of
Commerce. Some months ago the
Figaro, following the path of its rivals,
offered its subscribers the especial
privilege of a frst-class watch for thir-
ty francs. The temptation was success
ful for q short time; new subscribers
fOcked in, but at length they
found tout that the watches would not 90.
So they kicked up a row. and de-
manded their money back. In conse-
quence Of this M. de Villemessant, the
manager of the Figaro, brought an &C
ton against the matchmaker, who had
guaranteed the articles by treaty. IL.
de Villemessant not only claimed the
value of the watches returned to him
and those left on his hands, but also
$4,000 francs damages for the harm
done to his paper blythe breach Of faith
on the part of the matchmaker.
The latter objected that NJ. de
Villemessant, instead of selling the
watches at the stipulated price, viz,
twenty-five francs, sold them for thirty
francs, thereby making eight francs
out Of each watch, and turning the af-
fair into a commercial speculation
against the meaning of the treaty. The
court allowed the plaintiff 10, 900 francs
damages for breach Of faith, but or.
deIed that the dispute about the
watches should be decided by an ex-
pert.

ARRANGEMENT have been COM

association, are pledged to the develop

members are pledged TO uphold the
principles Of universal freedom and the
American Constitution. Founded in
this country in l848, the Union in

THE AMERICAN CHANGERS AND
THE ENGLISH CO-OPERATORS.


1t appears that the English Coop
erative Societies, whose representa-
tives are now negotiating with the Ex-
ecutive Committe of the National
Grange, are not secret bodies. Hence
it viii be impossible, under existing
circumstances, for them to unite with
the Patrons. But this difficulty has
been met by the formation of a trading
company, having the Endorsement and
support Of The united cooperative
bodies in England, and fully organized
under the English laws. The PROPOSE
tons are 20 have two branches of the
Society, one in England and the other
in the United States. The Board in
each country is to have the absolute
control Of the funds subscribed there
in, and all to be used for the purpose
of the international exchange of COM
modities. The capital is S25,000.000.
All transactions are to be for cash or
its equivalent. The British Co-opera-
tors number 100000 members; have
over l 900 stores, some so or 90 cotton
spinning mills, about 20 Touring mills,
an agricultural and horticultural socie-
ty, and number of manufactures;
and, Of course, consume a large guam
tity Of American products. The funds
subscribed by the English branch of
the company Will be employed in the
purchase of ships, the erection Of
warehouses, and the manufacture Of
such articles as are IN constant demand
among the Patrons of Husbandry.
These ships will bring the goods to
New Orleans and other Southern ports,
and to Eastern ports if necessary.
They desire the Patrons to employ their
portion of the capital in carrying
American staples and products TO meet
these ships, and thus to make the
necessary exchange In the most direct
ands nipple manner. The co.operators
have a large surplus capital, which is
constantly on the increase, and which
they think can be proftably employed
in this trade. While each branch Of
the company viii have control of its
own affairs, the two Boards Will form a
council who will, by joint action, de-
eide what branch of business viii be
engaged in, and define the method of
conducting the same. An American
viii be sent to Liverpool to watch the
interests Of the Grange branch of the
company, and the English Board will
have a ike representative in New
Orleans, while the general supervision
viii be in the hands of a managing
director already elected, and, who,
though an Englishman born, has been
twenty-three years in America.

4 RERUKE rRoM The ENEMY.
Knoxville Chronicle.

Some journalists IN our State talk
hippantly about the failure of the
State to pay the July interest on our
bonds, and really seem to take pleasure
IN the fact. How any man who feels
an interest in the good name Of the
State can SO feel and 50 tn K. is more
than we can understand. L. is certain
" as dishonest for a State to refuse 10
pay its obhgati- rs as it is for an indi-
viduaL To say that Tennessee Is una
bic, with anything like proper manage
ment, to pay her debts, is to say what
is untrue. Whining never accom-
plishes anything, but bold, manly work
and unhinching honesty never fails.

THE BARTLETT MOVEMENT OF
THE RACES.


Referring editorially to the race re-
Cancellation meeting as a feature Of the
Independence Day celebration-an ac-
count of which we published yesterday
the Memphis Ledger says; "All this
occurred yesterday, and yet the heav-
ems did not fall, but on the contrary,
looked in a material and essential point
of view all the brighter. Verify, the
world moves, and those who still cling
to the impracticable armor Of prejudice
will find themselves left far be-
hind the procession. All this
means here Just what it meant at
Boston; as Fitzhugh Lee said, the
politicians having failed in the matter
of reconciliation for ten years, the eO-
PIE have stepped forward to take it out
of their hands. The demonstrations
on our streets yesterday, and especially
at Court Square last night, awoke emo
tions of national pride that have been
dormant these fifteen long, weary years.
There is life and patriotic blood in the
old land yet. We feel that there is a
return to first principles and old land
marks, and that the new generation
coming on the stage will have more
cause of Joy and hope than any who
have gone before them. The fraterni-
cation between the blue and the gray
and the black and the white, to the ex-
tent it goes, is upon a true and endur-
ing basis. Yesterday was a day to be
remembered in our local as well as ma
tional history"

Thus it is seen that our exports, ex-
elusive of specie, have decreased near
ly three times the amount of decreased
imports of merchandise, which looks
ike turning the balance of trade in our
favor with a vengeance. Now when
we add to this balance the amount of
interest annually due abroad, and the
freight money paid to foreign ships,
the S64,000,000 Of specie which we have
exported during the same period,
seems to leave a still uncomfortably
large balance to iquidate. Now the
question: shall we pay this accumula-
ting balance by continuation of the
shipment Of coin, or by unlocking our
over-crowded warehouses and grana-
ries I? is one well worth the considera-
tiOn Of the country. If by the latter,
then gold must cease to be an article
of merchandise, and again become he

THE BALANCE OF TRADE AGAINST
New York Tribune, July ;.


Much is said and written about the
"balance of trade, !" and the necessity
of it's turning in our favor before &C.
tive steps can be safely taken for a re.
sumption of specie payments. But it
would seem as If a system which re-
tards our exports of produce and en-
eourages extravaganza in the impOrta-
ton of Injuries IS the very one to for
ever keep the balance of trade"
against US. The statement of The i'm
ports and exports of the United States
for the II months ending May 81, re-
Gently published by the Bureau of
Statistics, makes a sorry showing on
the balance Of trade question. These
figures compare with those of the IL
laonths of the previous year, the value
of exports being reduced to specie
value, at the rateof 112 for both years,
