TEE CROPS.

over 100000 to the sugar crop of that
parish. @aA% :.
In Red River the weather 10 reported
as improved, days breezy and nights
unusually cool-a bad prospect for the
cotton crop. Picking has already be-
gun, but on small scale-fifty or sixty
pounds per day.
In different parts OF the parish OF
Ouachita there have been good showers.
Accounts from the parishes west report
the crops Of cotton and corn as excel
lent. In Ouachita corn Will be very
short, while cotton is generally pretty
The first bale Of the new crop OF cot
ton was received at Shreveport August
lone day sooner than the first bale
last year. It was raised by E. G. Rey-
nolds, on the Cane plantation, opposite
that city, and received by j. Is. Dur

and cotton need a general rain greatly.
fodder is now being pulled. The crops,
as general thing, are looking very
promising
The crops in River Dale, Caddo par
ish, are badly overfowed by the recent
freshet. The loss Is about one-fourth.
The long looked and the long prayed
for rain in Rapides has come at last,
and come plentifully. The crops of
course will now thrive and mature to
perfection, except the corn which, in
most localities, is past redemption.
Present appearances do not augur
well for cotton in West Baton Rouge.
The weather is unfavorable and Of a
character that generally precedes the
advent OF the caterpillar. The pest has
not been seen here yet, but having en-
tered several northern parishes, 1t is
reasonable to presume it will visit this
section.'' Old farmers are filled with
forsbodings.
Hogs are in fine spirits in Yallabusha.
The crops in Coahoma county have
not looked 50 promising since the war.
4 West Point is making a great deal OF
hay this year. F@ NV
More cotton to the acre in Carroll
county than ever before. Hogs also
are plentiful and promising
Farmers near Batesville are jubilant
over their prospects for good crop this
year. Cotton is very good, and il moth
ing happens to it there will be an unu-
sually good crop made. rrft-
The cotton caterpillar has, unques-
tionably. upon plenty and reliable evi-
dence, made its appearance in Quitman
county. They are not numerous any
where, and without long wet weather
will not prove seriously destructive.

A Democratic Row.

A personal alteration occurred a
Washington on the Goth inst, between
Representative Blackburn and ex
Representative Dan VOORHEES,, of lndi
ana, both bitter Democrats. Black
burn assaulted Voorhees, for defending
the purity of the district judiciary ,aud
said il was corrupt and used by Job
bers." VOORHEES, resented this, anc
said il did not become member of thu
present House, which could not b'
trusted, and was composed largely o
dishonest men to talk about the purit,
of the court, which was honest. Black
burn, at this point, became greatly ex
cited, and denounced Voorhees, per
sonally, and the parties would have
come to blows had not their friends in
terfered.

Trial Of Willis jackson.

The trial Of Willis Jackson, charged
with the murder of William Mellow
ell on the goth day of July, 1873, was
terminated in the District Court at 8
O'Clock a. m. yesterday, when the jury
in the case returned verdict of guilty
of murder in the first degree,as charged
in the information. The prisoner
heard the verdict without the move
ment of muscle or the slightest per-
ceptible change of countenance. The
evidence of course was all circumstan-
tial but convincing as to the guilt of the
prisoner: and was about the same as
given before the coroner's jury and as
published in the Press at the time of
the murder.
The prosecution was ably conducted
bv County Attorney j. Wade McDon-
aid, assisted by l.. j. Webb, of Win
field.
The defense was represented by IL.
C. Sluss, of Wichita, and Messrs.
Woods & Herrick, of this city. who
distinguished themselves in their eff
forts to avert the impending doom OF
the accused; but the evidence of guilt
was erwhelming and swept away all
theories to the contrary. After the
verdict Mr.. Sluss gave notice that he
would make motion for a new trial
and for an arrest of Judgment.
The case of II. NJ. Neal, charged with
the murder of James IL. Turner on the
I'd day of November last, was then
called. Sumner County Press.
