The Next Crops.

The New York Commercial RnNetn has
an article upon the market for the, next
crops which it concludes with the state;
mcnt that with Il continuance 0fthe
present fattering crop prospects the
world over the indications would seem
to favor low prices for the year to come
and this remark does not apply 10 one
staple but to all.n The Bulletin bases its
calculations upon three things: a de-
crease in home consumption, decrease
in immigration, the favorable news from
Eurone and the fact that no war is now
being carried in that country, to drag
the producer from his farm to the held.
As 10 home consumption, there Is some
probability that the amount OF tood con,
sumed per capita of our population Will
be less than last year in consequence Oh
the arrangement of our leading IN
dustries, by which 50 large portion OF
the laboring classes have been deprived
of employmcnt' For, although the
same has been true to q great extent the
present season on accounted the strlkas,
il must be remembered that these unlm-
ployed men were largely fed out OF the
SURPLUS earnings of former years, which
returns Of the savings banks in manu-
featuring districts have since been lIcc-
ly Withdrawn to exc out diminished
earnings. These means Of support are
so largely reduced as to have 4 pefccpll-
ble effect already upon the labor mar
ket, as seen by the collapse of strikes
all over the country, necessity alone
compelling the surrender. Lower wa
res mean less ability to purchase, though
This, doubtless, will be in a measure
overcome by q corresponding decline IN
the cost of commodities. The Southern
States, which have hitherto derived lne
bulk of their supplies OF food from the
Northwest, and manufactures from the
East, arc raising not only their wheat,
corn, oats and rye loa far greater cN-
tent than ever before, but are also DC
Ginning to manufacture their own @oo"S.
| 10 such an extent is this true OF lhc:c
that it would not be surprising II lhlS
outlet should be practically closed, ana
even Il surplus from some OF these states
raised for shipment. This lacC must
have a very decided influence upon our
markets should the crops prove To be as
abundant as now seem pnbablc. 1T
thus appears that, other things being
equal, and probably more than enough
to overcome the deficit of the Paclll
States which, as regards wheat, in Call
fornia, is estimated at POO, 600 TO 3o'',oo0

WHITE TRAsH.-The New York
Herald, commenting upon q recent
CivitrRights action by one Smith, IN
Washington, says: "Rofusingt to accept
the decree of the Fifteenth Amend
mcnt, making white men the equals
of colored gentlemen, Smith boldly
closed tho doors of his hostclry in the
face ofpresuming "White trash" who
sought comfort and rcfrcshment in a

And now this "white trash" brings
Smith into court TO compel the colored
people to receive him into their inns
and society, under the tyrannical pro,
visions of the Fifteenth Amendment
Smith has our best sympathy in this
struggle, and VIC think the man who
pretcnds that there is anything like
equality between "white trash" and
coIored gentlemen must be in a state ot
mind that would justify the AUTHORITIES

Gen. McGoWau's Party,

The party given on last Friday night
lin honor of the recent nuptials OF DIR.
John S. Thompson and Miss jamie
Perrin. attracted Il bright array of the
youth and beauty of Alpbcville, and was
a superb entertainment. The spacious
parlors of tho elegant mansion shone
rcsplendcnt with the bright robes and
happy faces of the lovely pair, and at
tractcd the admiring gaze of many gal
liant young gentlemen.
"And wlIen the music arose with its
voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes that spoke
again,
And all went merry rs a marriage bcll.'
TO the charms Of music and the plea
sures of conversation were added the
additional enjoyments of the dance,
which gave variety and zest to the en-
tertainmcnt and frightened the plea
surcs of the evening. The gallant
General and his accomplished family
entertained most admirably, and left no
means unspared to make the party a
success. A rich and bounteous supper
of good things crowned the other plea
surcs, and to some, at least, was not the
least attraction. The company all en-
ioycd themselves hugely, and separated
at n late hour, in the best Of humor with
themselves and their hospitable enter
tainerS.

supper was superb, and was discussed
with appctitcs sharpcncd by the excite

Some Of tie Troubles Of Going into

Last week the Junior wanted to at

and after hunting aronnd town for a

wo~on in which TO make the trip. in
Thursday morning we started OH lor
the commencement and arrived there in

as we started back our trouble COM

Little shower OF rain came up we opened
our buggy umbrella and had gone only
half mile when the wire that holdS the
ribs together at the top broke ana let
our canvaas down. We next raised q
small umbrella and had gone bnt short
distance, when the wire that holds the
ribs towrtErr below broke and we were
arain in the rain. Presently the while

ten million baskets. All the crops are
magnificent. Nature seems to be exert

that they have failed to find solitary
paragraph in all their exchanges that
speaks in unGnvorablc terms OF the grow

The Broken Bank.

There is more in. the suspension OF
Hardy Solomon's bank than has been
made public, or is likelyto be; but the
State officers can certainly explain why
over two hundred thousand dollars
were deposited in that bank, much of
the money having been taken from
banks in which it was unquestionably
secure.
1t is reported that Comptroller Dunn,
with the idea of ensuring good beha-
vior of Treasurer Carlozo, who was not
on good terms with Solomon, had urged
that as much as $25O,00O be placed in
the Solomon bank. Treasurer Cardozo
refused 10 give his consent and we are
| informed that Mr.. Dunn subsequently
brought Governor Chamberlain over to
his views, and Il large sum was deposit
ted aL once. 1T is even said That the
whole Of the State funds which were
living in Charleston bank, not hun
drcd miles from this Office, were taken
out and sent TO Columbia Immediately
after IL recent visit of Mr.. Solomon to
Treasurer Cardozo. on Sulivau's Island.
The public give Mr.. Dunn credit for
good intentions, but why did he, last
Winter, 50 strcnuously support the bill,
which Governor Chamberlain vetoed,
making the Solomon Bank permanent
place of deposit for State funds, and
why should Mr.. Dunn have been so
persistent, as Comptroller General, IN
requiring that money teabe deposited
there2 We should like, also, to hear
what Mr.. Cardozo has to say about it,
and whether the telegram announcing
the suspension of the bank did not cool
Gov. Chamberlain's ardent advocacy Of
the restoration Of an honestcurreney?"
Inthe suspension of the hapless bank
the State has received yet another blow.
That concern had SAB 900 in the Solo
mon Bank, we are told.
The common report is that Mr.. Solo
mon, holding large amount of claims
against the State and having on deposit
more than $2O0,OO of public money,
suspended payment to force the State to
settle with him at par. If this be so,
the obtaining of that State deposit,
which Mr.. Cardozo is said to have op-
posed, was indispensable to the success
of the scheme, and it is manifestly i'm
proper it seems to us, that Comptroller
Dunn should have been made the re-
ceiver. On0 Courier.
