BRITISH GRAIN.
The Harvest OF wheat Shows a Gene
raj Improvement in That Cereal
other Crop Reports.

LONDON, July 30-The Mark Lane E5c-
press says: Wheat cutting is now becoming
general, and Judging from recent agricultu-
raj advices, wheat seems improved won
derfully in many parts Of the country. The
past months sunshineIhas repaired the injury
caused by the rainfall of May to an unlocked
for extent, excepting in the districts where
the draught was severe, causing premature
ripening. The prospects for the barley crop
are variable and generally unpromising, par
ticularly on lighter soils the yield will GER
tainly be light. Oats and beans promise fair
ly. The grain trade In London and in the
provinces Is devoid of any special feature, but
prices are well maintained, considering the
proximity of the harvest. There is an I'M
dercurrent of steadiness observable. and the
opinion generally obtains that whether
bought for consumption or speculation, wheat
at the present prices cannot do much harm
to miller Oh speculator. One strengthening
influence at work Is the continued continental
demand While wheat ON spot and cargoes
off the coast have been taken for continental
account, and the fact that prices are sta
tiouary in the face of liberal lm-
ports and the improved crop pros
poets, Is IN a great measure
due to this legitimate increase in the de-
mand The arrivals of wheat cargoes off
the coast, especially from America, appear
likely to be small for the next few weeks,
but as brilliant prospects are entertained of
the crop on the other side of the Atlantic
the probability of any material rise here is
more or less remote, with moderate arrivals
at ports of call The floating cargo trade
fer wheat IL steady without quotable change
in values. Demand for the continent con-
tinues and helps to support prices. Maize Is
dull. Barley unchanged.

Sixth-We demand honest money for the
people. Our currency must be made as good
rs coin and redeemable In Il. The govern
ment promised this, the Republican, party
has leQislated to perform - 3rd, In the
course of resumption, now nearly accom-
plished, there must be no steps sideways or
backward.
Seventh-We congratulate our fellow-cltl-
zens on the unmistakable evidence that the
near approach to a stable currency Is prepar-
ing the way for an early permanent revival
of business and industry so long deferred by
causes growing out of e gigantic civil war,
among which deprecated and HuctuatIng
currency is the most prominent and greatly
aggravated by mIschieVous agitators OF
demagogues IN and out of congress for
measures which, if adopted as the policy of
the government, would bring permanent dis
order and ruin to business, discredlt and dis
honor upon the nation, and tend to subvert
many OF those principles which are funda-
mental to the existence of civilized society.
Eighth-It is evidently the purpose OF the
Democratic party, if it should come into full
power, to pay hundreds of millions of dollars
of suspended war claims of disloyal men,
already presented tc congress or awaiting a
favorable moment for presentation, which
makes it deubly important, now that the SEN
ate is soon to pass under Democratic control,
that the house of representatives to be chosen
in the coming elections should be under Re-
publican control.
The next resolution disapproyes any radical
change in the navigation laws.
Governor Conner was unanimously re-
nominated, and after speeches by Hon. L. Ia.
Woodford, Senator Blaine, and Representa-
tives Frye and Hale, the convention adj
journed.

New York Star: On Tuesday morning last
Mr.. Thomas Briggs, of No. 269 West Thirty
seventh street, called upon Captain Wash
burne, of the twentieth precinct, and told
eight clock, while himself and family were
on the roof the door-bell was rung. His
adopted daughter, Miss Louisa Brahen,
thnty-two years of age, answered the sum-
mons, and nothing was seen or heard OF her
until after eleven o'clock at night. at which
hour she returned in state of great
nervousness and extreme prostration,
so much so that she was unable to
give an intelligent account of herself. The
following morning, however, when pressed
for an explanation, she stated that when she
opened the door she was met 10y three men
and a boy. One of the men put handker-
chief to her face. saturated, she believes,
with choroform. She became partly uncon-
sclous, but remembers being led to the side
walk and put into carriage, which drove off
at rapid rate. Only one of the men, she
says, got In, and, while driving along, he
made frequent indecent proposals to her,
which she resented as we'll as she could. Her
strength began to fail, and in her semi con-
scious state she remembers crossing some
ferry boat, but cannot say which one 1t was.
The carriage was drawn a short distance
through Fulton street, Brooklyn, when it
stopped, and, assisted by her male COM
panion, she got out and entered
house and assembled to the second
floor, when she was shown into a room
containing, among other things, dark
cloth colored sofa and green carpet. Here
the man again repeated his indecent propo
sails, and finally began to resort to violence.
Miss Brahen says she begged him to desist
and appealed to his manllness; told him that
her character was all that was left her, and
begged him for Gods sake to desist, and not
outrage her, when he replied: well, |
wont; why should II" He then made her
promise that she would meet him some other
evening at any time and place he mentioned,
whereupon he drove her back to the city and
drove her to almost in front of her home,
where, up to the present, che has been con

In another column, publishes card in which
he says that, seeing he cannot be elected
clerk Of the county court, he withdraws his
name from the canvass and is therefore no
longer in the race. This timely and sensible
act of good citizen and stsunch Democrat
leaves Mr.. Black without any competitor
other than the candidate on the Radical
ticket, and makes his election by large ma
jority, we think, certain. No man in the
county can give a good reason for re-
fusing to vote for Mr.. Black. That
he ia competent no one can deny;
that he is honest, no one will question; that
he is industrious and attentive to his duties,
no one can doubt; and that he is, morally,
the peer of any man in the city, no one will
gainsay. Ii such a mao can be defeated. 1T

Briggs became so much annoyed that he was
compelled to move his family TO his present

out, and continued sending his love epistles,

of her abductor, Mr.. Briggs believes he is

Fourth-The constitution of the United

hold it to be a primary and sacred duty of
the general government to protect and main

public rights by every citizen of the United

pledged to maintain these principles, and I'M

enforced, the work of the Republican party is
unfinished.
Fifth-The Republican party is committed
to unremlttlng efforts for not only TO secure
the legitimate results Of the war, the
sovereignty of the Union, equal rights of all
citizens, and the free and untrammeled right
of suffrage, but also to redeem the pledges
