CROPS.

From all points Of the country crop
reports seem to be favorable. 1t is be-
lieved On all sides that the South will for
2tae FIRST time in ten years raise enough
~breadstuffs for home consumption. The
cotton crop will probably reach four aud
a half millions, and while prices may
not open very high the necessity to sell
at once will rot be as pressing as usual,
and the farmers may find it convenient
TO ship small lots to market to meet the
current expenses or to pay of maturing
obligations. The South ought to be self
sustaining without the cotton crop, and
to use that as a surplus to invest in i'm
provements, lay up for a wet day or to
procure the comforts and conveniences
of civilization. Perhaps in ten years
more we will see something like this,
though people change their customs and
habits slowly, and we have much to learn
yet before we acquire the thrift of the
Yankee, the German or even the Eng.
lishmsn. However, there is great rea-
son to feel encouraged.

LADY JANE

COURIER JOURNAL, 10th: THE death
of Lady Jane Franklin, on Sunday, was
not unexpected, as she had been ex-
tremely ill for some weeks. She was a
noble woman and devoted her whole life
to a thoroughly practical charity and in
teStifying her devotion to her husband,
Sir John, whose fatal Arctic voyage has
become SO familiar to the world. Even
after receiving almost certain conirma-
ton Of the suspicion of his unhmely
death, inls47, Lady Franklin was always
interested in every expedition which
went to those cruelty severe regions,
among whose hungry icebergs her hus-
band persisted. Her very last contribu-
ton was made to the party which has
just sailed on the screw-stesmer yacht
Pandora, from London, the expense of
that expedition being borne by Lady
Franklin, jointly with James Gordon
Bennett, of the New York Herald. Lady
Franklin was seventy years of age when
she died.

Convention this forenoon the committee
on resolutions reported the first resolu-
ton, favOring immediate resumption
and calling upon every citizen to hasten

urging Congress to issue coupon bonds
in exchange for registered bonds Of the
same. Fourth, demanding the abolish.
ment Of two cent stamps on checks and
vouchers. Fifth, favoring the perma-
nent organization of national bankers.
ThOS. F. McGrew, of Springfield, ILL.,,
offered the following:
Resolved, That it is the opinion of lhis
convention that an act to provide for the
resumption of specie payment, az
proved January II, ought to be amended
so as to provide for the gradual
contraction Of all legal tender %circula-
ton, and the time of resumption be ex-
tended to the LIST of January, 1885, so as
to change without a sudden fall of gen.
eral prices.
McGrew spoke at some length in favor
Of his resolution. The committees reso-
lutions were adopted, and the time and
place of the next annual meeting re.
ferred.
