| CRops.-BuSiness called US to
Clinton on Saturday last, and we
took advantage OF the trip to oh
serve the crops along the route.
The corn in our own Pari-E seem,
TO be doing tolerably we'll, but
evidently needs rain bad y. The
same may be said Of that in Fast
Fcl,ciana. The finest that fe!
under our observation was thar on
the farm of Mr.. Samuel Lambert,
editor of the Patriot Democrat, sit
uated two miles beyond Clinton.
Cotton seems to be rather small
along the entire route, in both
Parishes; the cold nights of la
month no doubt having retarded
its growth. 1t also is requiring
rain. Upon the whole, we con
slider the outlook quite favorable
and encouraging and the showers
which we have a reasonable right
10 expect within few days will
doubtless put both CROPS in fine
condition.

perimcnts; he has simply been doing his duty
by strict obedience to the law. Upon the
next head of his discourse, namely, the reform
of the Civil Service, Mr.. Matthews does not
dwell at great length. He shows that Mr..
Hayes is only carrying out the promises OF the
Convention that nominated BIN, ana oil the
letter in which he accepted the nomination; ana
it seems TO us that he places those critics OF
the reform who believe that platforms ana
letters ought to mean anything, III very
absurd dilemma.
The campaign in Ohio however, ought not
to be fought by defensive tactics alone nor
upon the issues. OF last Winter. There are VI
tai questions now neutrality-suspicious. as 10
the currency, as to the execution OF the he
sumption Act, as to the railroads, as to the re-
lations of capital and labor. Mr.. Matthews Is
much less satisfactory in this part OF his
speech than in his survey of the past Ills
one positive declaration is in favor of the re-
monetization of silver, and the right OF the
Government to pay all debts III that metal,
including the new loans, both prnclpal ana

this subject that we need not renew the us
cussion here. The other important points TO
which we have referred, Mr.. Matthews-per-
haps for want of time-seems to have avoided
Most of them, however, are treated with
more or less fulness by Gen. Garfield. lie at
least meets the labor problem like man. lie
takes the clear ground of common sense which
the Republican party of Ohio ought to have
occupied from the start. He tells his hearers
that I" first of ALL the supremacy OF the law
must be maintained" and that our Only escape

"serton of the supremacy of law, in the pro-
election of society against the assaults OF COM

Giles :" and he reminds us that it IL not the
business of legislatures to make contracts
but to enforce them; not the business OF
legislatures to furnish either capital or labor
to the citizens, but to protect both. These
are homely truths; but most of the ONO pol
iticians have been afraid to speak them.
What Gen. Garfield says about Civil Service
Reform will attract great deal OF attention.
Sympathizing with the President in his pur-
poses, he has no hesitation, nevertheless, III
saving that Mr.. Hayes has "gOne too far III
probibting officehoIders from taking part III the
management of the machine. He promises
the President, in behalf of the party, hearty
"support, faithful criticism, and patient conr-

of Mr.. Hayes satisfies us that they VIII all
likewise be almost equally acceptable.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-08-27

1t is proper, we suppose, that now and
then in the present campaign Il comprehensive
explanation and defence of the whole policy
of the Administration should be spoken from
the stump. The Hon. Stanley Matthews I'M
dertool that duty on Saturday night. He re-
viewed the Presidents title, the Packard and
Chamberlain cases, the Southern programme,
and the reform of the Civil Service, and he
devoted the closing minutes of his address TO
the question of the reconciliation of silver.
His examination Of tho proceedings of the
Electoral Commission was not long, but it was
pointed and thorough. The essence of the
dispute lies in the question whether the Com
mission, in refusing to go behind the returns,
deceived the just expectations of those
who created it, and avoided its sworn
duty; and Mr. Matthews shows, by the same
arguments and same quotations from the de-
bate that have already been used several
times in The TRIBUNE, that the pOnt whether
Congress OF the Commission had any power to
90 behind the returns was one of the chief
things submitted to the judgment of the Com
mission itself, both Sides with full under
standing of tho case, conserving 10 the arbtra-
ton. Certainly, when the Democratic party
refuses TO accept the decision of its own arbi
traitors, it is guilty of an atroci0us act of bad
faith. Practically, however, this part of the
controversy is closed. Mr.. Williams Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor of Maine, in refus
ing to make the campaign to the music of the
"Fraud" hullabalOO, declares that the Presi-
dents title, Though stOutly contested,
"was recognized and became valid by
"the decision of the tribunal, which
"acted under authority OF law to which
call parties and the all States, through their
"Senators and Representatives in Congress-
''had given their deliberate assent" The World
gives the letter of this Mr.. Williams most
cordial approval. "The decision of that Elec-
"toral Commission" it says, Fright or wrong,
"was one which Congress accepted beforehand,
land which three-fourths of the Democrats
"aud three-fourths of the Republicans now
"accede to. Both parties, the Repub-
"lican with more reluctance than the Demo-
"cratic, acquiesced in the formation of that
Tribunal, and neither party is now entitled
"to challenge the decision of that tribunal"
That issue may be considered closed.
In discussing the Southern case MIR. Matthews
of course is defending the President, not against
the adyersaries, but the strictest members Of
his own party, and the position is an awkward
one for Republican orator TO occupy. Those
who were most dissatisfied at first with
the removal of the troops from the State
Houses at New-0reans and Columbia are
gradually coming to admit that it was
the proper thing to do, if not the only thing
that could be done; and long before the end
Of Mr. Hayes term We are confident that the
whole country will applaud his action. We
are glad to observe that Mr.. Matthews does
not fall into the common absurdity of treating
it as an experiment" which may succeed or
may fail according as the South conducts it
self The President has not been trying ex-

1t will be a serious misfortune II these
troubles are allowed to pass ont OF mem
ory without some earnest effort on the
part of employers to furnish the laborer
with some protection against himself Inc
punishment of the guilty Is not enough. Inc
restoration of the reign of law is not enough
The full vindication of the right OF capital 10

enough. These organizations, which are being
