The severe rains of the past two weeks
have injured the wheat in this county to
a considerable extent, principally by
laying it down before it was ripe, there
by preventing its filling as it would
have done standing, and making it very
difficult to harvest. We are glad to
hear from farmers that there has, up to
to-day, been no sprouting in the heads
of standing or shocked wheat, and hope
that the weather from this time on NAV
be more propitious. Corn is growing
well. though a little backward from a
cold spring. What has proved an evil
to wheat and corn growers has been q
boon to tobacco planters, as they have
had long and favorable "seaso2" fol
setting out their plants.

Some republicans claim that Hayes is
in full sympathy with the spirit of reform.
The people are not easily hoodwinked
with what candidates for office say they
favor. When did Mr.. Hayes ever ad-
Vocate a great reform? Did he not
shield the Credit Mobilier ring. and does
he not stand upon platform which lauds
and endorses Grants administrations II

Tilden an admirer of Tweed's. Ha!
Ha! that is funny. It's piece OF a
fabric which wont wash, though. His
tory says that 1T was Samuel ]. Tilden,
who, lending his great ability and energy
to the cause of reform, broke up the
Tweed ring. Not only did he do this,
but he prosecuted the canal ring and
every other corrupt organization until
he reduced the taxes of the state of New
York from sixteen to eight millions of
dollars per annum. For this the DEM
ocrats have nominated him for the high
est Office In the gift of the people; for
similar though not nearly 80 arduous eff:
forts at reform. the republican party has
consigned Brlstow to oblivion.

The south, to-day. is bankrupt. What
has made it SO? Maladministration
Every feathers weight placed upon the
prosperity OF the south is felt by the
whole country, as the principal part of
our expectations, upon which we depend
to turn the balance of trade, be-
tween ourselves and foreign countries,
in our favor, comes from that section.
Can we hope for anything better than
we have had, from a party controlled by
Blaines, Mortons and Logans? No! Re-
store the country to the only national
party which is in existence in the United
States, and which preserved its liberties
and the respect of the world for the bet
ter part of century, and prosperity
will follow. Refuse to do so, and the su-
icidal policy OF fostering sectional hate,
and the imbecile management of the fl
nances will keep the noses of the work
ing men ofthe country to the srindstone
for another four years.

Some dirty slanderer sent the follow
inc dispatch to the st. Louis Globe

ing dispatch to the St. Louis Globe
Democrat:
ssLEx1NaroN, Mo-, June 2S.-The news of
Tilden's nOmIn alton was received with JOY IN
this hot-bsd of the late Southern Confederacy.
When the announcement WAS made the old
familiar rebel yell Of 1861 could be heard ascend.
ing to high heaven from the Confederate soldiers
and their sympathizsrs. Some boys and u lew
Democrats are now burning powder out OF
couple Of anvils in honor OF the nomination.
The Republicans are jubllsnt and consider Til
den the easiest man to beat that was before the
Convention"
This re-echoes the stock in trade OF
the wavers of the bloody shirt. "The
old, familiar rebel yell" We do not
know who wrote the article, but we
will wager something handsome that
his patriotism was not of that order
which impelled him to defend his coun-
try during its time of peril at the risk of
his life. There was no such thing as
rebel yell at the meeting Wednesday
night, and though there were boys upon
the ground, there was q large and en-
thusiastic crowd of men-democrats
who had served under blue as well as
gray jackets; and of the five speak
ers who addressed the assembly. three
of them were Union men, and two
southern. during the scar, and they
are all better Union men to-day, more
of patriots and lovers of their country
than any man who is disposed to keep
up the animosities of fratricidal strife
eleven years after peace has been agreed
upon. There is not Union man in
Lexington who loves his country better
than do those Confederate soldiers"
who attended that meeting, and who the
next day threw to the breezes the proud
est and most beautiful banner on earth,
with the names of Tilden and Hendricks
inscribed upon it, and the only Confed-
crate soldier who spoke, in the only al
lusion that he made to his having been
a Southern soldier, made the remark to
tell how on his return from Mexico, at q
sea port, he first saw the star spangled
banner proudly waving at the masthead
of noble vessel, and how out Of many
ships which he might have taken, he
took passage upon that one, because it
bore the ensign of his country, dear to
him from thousand ties and assocla-
tions, and which is dear to him from the
fact that his fathers helped to make it
possible to fly that flag instead of Eng
lands royal banner. When will repub
icans, with malice in their hearts, learn
that the war is over, and that their con-
temptuous "rebel'' carries no oppro-
brium with it to men whose ''rebel'
fathers fought and won the independence
of this country from the tyranny of
England. A tyranny which was no seve-
rer than has been that of the republican
party with its bayonet rule, its internal
revenue inquisition and its stamp acts.
How long, Oh Lord how long, will the
earth be numbered with such people.

Much of the depressed condition of
the oceanic trade undoubtedly is due to
the falling off of emigration within the
past few years. and the decline or rather
non-increase of traffic between Europe
and the United States. Yet it must be
borne in mind that the oceanic steam
lines increased unduly. More steamers
were built, more lines organized than
commerce as required rapid tran
sit-would justify, and the result natu-
rally is severe competition, reduced rates,
and decline in the values of steamship
