May Crop Report.

MEMPHIS, June 1.-THE crop re-
port for May of the Memphis Cotton
Exchange embraces 155 responses, of
the average date of May 81, as fol-
lows: West Tennessee, 43; North
Mississippi, 80; North Arkansas, 81.
The aggregate shows a decrease in
acreage of one to three-fourths per
cent. The first week is reported un'
favorable on account of rain, and the
remainder excessively dry, windy and
cloudy. Twenty FIVE report the
stands very fine; 20 good average
and go early planting poor, but late
good. The average responses indi-
cate great Improvement in the NOR
ale of the laborers. All report no
commercial fertilizersused. One hun .
dred and twenty report the crop well
cultivated, 81 reporting superior con-
dition, and 107 that the crop is suf>
fering for rain. The acreage increase
of corn is per cent, with q addi-
tional to be planted in June, and in
good condition. In grass, oats and
millet there is an increase of 81 per
cent, and s per cent. better condi>
ton than last year. The wheat crop
shows an average prospective better
yield of % per cent. ON 8 per cent.
increased average. The average in
crease of hogs is 16 per cent, and in
good condition. The committee say,
in reference to the report, that subse-
quent to theaverage date of responses,
good and general rains have fallen,
which will improve all crops except
wheat, though great damage will re-
suit from the 49, inches of rain which
fell on 9TH and 9Th inst.
OMAHA, Neb., June 1.-The Bee
has specials from forty-one places
throughout tie State tonight. The
crop prospects continue highly favor
able, especially so of small grain.
Corn is not so good on account of
heavy continued rains and cool wealth
er. In some sections there was slight
frost last night, doing slight damage.
The grasshoppers have done but very
little damage, and in but one or two
places have done any. They seem
to be disappearing; cause unknown.

A startling Exposure Promised.

Among the Washington mysteries
which bore date with the safe -burg~
larry conspiracy were the repeated at
tempts to burn the Navy department
building, with the purpose, as was
then supposed, of destroying valuable
documents and papers which IN the
course of time promised to furnish ev-
idence of some extraordinary trans
actions. There were, in little over a
year, no less than three attempts to
burn the building, fire having been
kindled near the same place each
time, and by the same incendiary, it
is believed. 1t is intimated that the
venerable Secretary now at the head
of the department will soon distin-
guish himself by furnishing an expose
of the conspiracy-for such it Will
prove to be-or, failing to do that,
will give a committee of the next
House an opportunity to do it for
him. The evidence is near at hand.

The Gypsum Beds of RufI,er-
ford,

We have now conclusive evidence
that extensive beds of gypsum exist
in the range of hills along Cripple
Creek, in this county. Mr. Edmund
Bailey has brought us some samples
Of gypsum, which are as pure as can
be found in the country, and which
will equal that found in New York
and Michigan. When ground into
powder this land plaster is whittier and
purer than the land plaster which is
shipped here from Virginia and Ohio,
and Mr. Bailey, who has had exper>
fence in the Michigan mines, thinks
there can be no doubt of its superior
ity. The bed he has discovered is
easily accessible, and is over 90 feet
in thickness. How much thicker it
is has not yet been ascertained. The
bed is believed to extend for miles, as
Mr. Jos. Smith has discovered gypsum
several miles from this locality in the
SAME range of hills. Mr. Bailey is in
correspondence with capitalists, and in
all probability we will soon have mills
erected in the county for the manu-
tacture of land plaster.-MjuTieesbOrO

We had the pleasure last week Of
attending the meeting of the Missis-
sippi Press Association, at Holly
Springs. About seventy journals
we're represented by some eighty dele
gates. On account of The unbOunded
hospitality of the people of Hclly
Springs, it was next TO impossible for
the Association to do any real work
but still number of important mat
tiers were discussed and passed on.
The public exercises of the Associa-
zion on Wednesday night were very
interesting. After Il most beautiful
welcome address, delivered in fault
less manner by Miss Rosa Clark, and
responded to by President Money,
several poems were read. The essay
ist and orator were absent; but the
audience was favored by Capt. Ross,
of the Canton Mail, with the reading
of his now famous poem of Little
Socks" Thursday night grand ball
was given, which was largely attend
ed by the most charming ladies of the
place, Notwithstanding the inclemency
nf tba weather While there we
had the pleasure Of visiting Bethle>
hem Female College Catholic,
Franklin Female College, the State
Normal School (colored), the West
Manufacturing Company's shops, and
othes places of interest. All were
highly pleased with the successful
management of the different institu-
tions. Holly Springs is beautiful
town Of about three thousand inkabi-
tants-one of the handsomest towns
IN the South, whose ladies are as
beautiful, men as gallant, and all as
Losp;table and kind as can be found IN
America. We thank the members
of the Association for many acts Of
kindness, and hope they may honor

Virginians claim that since the
whipping post was re-established most
of the jails have been omptied, petty
crimes have almost ceased, and va
grants are seen no more in the streets.
If the whipping post was established
in this state, we believe there would
be much less petty thieving and the
expenses of the courts largely reduced.

DIR d. f. Wright, formerly surgeon
of the Tennessee Brigade in the Army
of Northern Virginia, who now so
ably edits the GAINESVILLE Chronicle,
sailed with Hobart Pasha, the Turk
ish Admiral, on the blockade runner
Falcon. Hobart, under the name of
Roberts, commanded the vessel.
The Admiral is described by this wit
ness as being quiet, genial gentle
man, with dark complexion, a steady
black eye and a firm set mouth, tell
ing of habitual reserve, al air Of easy
courtesy and the unmistakable man
ner of thorough English gentleman.

1t seems that the Nashville lynch>
ing of last Saturday night turns out
to be hoax-great cry over little
wool. A party Of young men got up
the Job to scare off the burglars. If
the courts get them, it may turn out
to be rather a serious joke.

Nashville has been over-Tup with
burglars and sneak thieves to such an
extent lately that, when one was cap
tured last Saturday night, the citizens
took the law in their own hands and
lynched him. He was then thrown
from a bluff into the river.

substitution of craftsmanship, wisdom and IN

in the administration of public affairs. IL will
contend for the government of the people by

this purpose numerous and carefully selected

time to deserve and enjoy the hatred of those
