WNoNA, July 19.-W. II. Drew returned
this morning from an inspection of the wheat
fields in radius of ten miles from this city.
He finds the rain has benefited the grain on
clay soil, and saw no signs of smut or rust.
The berry is plump and well filed, and will
yield from ten to twenty bushels per acre.
On the Wisconsin side his trip extended
back fifty miles from the river. Everywhere
the wheat was looking well and but slightly
damaged by storms. He says the ranic over
the weather is confined to the towns; he
found none among the farmers. A heavy
shower this morning here made the weather
much cooler.

FRIENDLY SCOUTS KILLED.
Last evening the Nez Perces scouts under

scouts belonging to Col Sanford's command,
went into camp on North Powder While sit
ting around the camp fire, all dressed in citi-
zen's clothes, a man named Haines captain of

enter the timber, fired two shots into the

him at once. The Indians We're rendering very

THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD.

The London Times announces the
issue of the fifth publication of Bohm
and Wagner's we'll known .Bevolker-
ung der Erde," which may be termed
the census of the earth. Since the last
publication of its statistics the earth
shows an increase of Ii, OOO, 900 people.
The total population is now set down
at ABS, 145, 800, divided as follows !:
Europe, 3l2, 1896, 4sO; Asia, ss1 ,OOO, 900 !;
Africa, 2O5, 2l9 500; Australia and
Polynesia, All 800; America, &c.
10000; from which it will be seen
that Asia contains more than one-half
the population of the world. The
population of some of the principal
countries is set down as follows !:
Germany, 42,727, $3.50; Austria, 81 $780,
900; Russia in Europe, 1882, 77O !;
France, 81, 800, 7SS; Great Britain, a.

On September 3, William Robinson
was prospecting in the gulch on Round
Mountain. About half mile up the
gulch he discovered a mine Of marvel
lous richness. The ore is of the same
character, but much higher grade
than the one of the Racine Boy. 1t
seems almost inexhaustable. 1t is
said that much of it runs as high as
5000 ounces to the ton. Robinson
says he has refused $3.50, 900 for it. A
well-known mining expert says it is
worth million. And six week ago
Robinson had not money enough to
buy pair of boots.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

The result of the late election, with
reference to the proposed amendments
to the Constitution of this State, is a
square-out condemnation. In nearly
all the parishes or the State, the tickets
were printed For, or Against, tho pro-
posed amendments. These tickets
should have been printed positively
against the proposed amendments,
but they wero not. But the result is
pretty much tho same, because the
attempt by the last legislature to
patch the infamous Constitution of
1868, framed by the Radicals, and
enforced by Warmoth, IAudeling and
others has met with the disnpproval
outright of the Intelligent voters of the
State.
In this connection we quote from a
leading article in recent issue of the
New Orleans Democrat:
The practice in the North, as well
as in our sister State of Mississippi, is
to consider all votes not cast for a con-
stitutional amendment as cast against

OF State should not be changed or
altered except at the demand of a
majority of its people. No such rule.
however, prevails hero.
Our contemporary Is mistaken--bat,ly
mistaken. Such ssruIe'' does exist
In Louisiana, and it will be found In
Art. 147 of the Constitution of 1865,
which says {ipsisina cerda): "And il
a majority of the voters at said cleo
ton shall approve and ratify such
amendment, or amendments, the same
shall become part of this Constitu-
tfon."
There can be, therefore no amend
approved and ratified, unless major

In our article advocating the selec-

any preference. We were sincere, but
this has been questioned, and we are
asked to point out our man. We
have no choice, and will be satisfied
with an impartial canvass of the mer-
its of the leading men of our section,
and an intelligent determination OF
the issue with reference to the best In
terests of the State. For fear of wrong
inferences, and to make good our
claim for the position, both on the
score of talent and fitness, we Present

And the list might be extended so

Every man in tho list stands high,

The places of trust that they hold
and have held, and the acceptable dis
charge of the duties pertaining thereto,
bespeak for their intelligence and in
tegrity far more than any language we
can employ.
We put it to the candor and judg-
ment of tho people Are they not
worthy and capable of wearing the
honors with credit to themselves,
profit to their constituents and advan-
tage to the general government? Are
they not better acquainted with this
section, more familiar with its wants,
and can they not more intelligently
press them than any stranger?
We make no war upon Mr.. Eustis-
we admire him, and arc willing for
him to succeed MI. Kellogg for any
number. of terms-but New Orleans
must divide the honors sooner or later,
and 1t is now matter of public i'm
portance that 1t be done ut once. The
public and public interests stand above
individuals. Tho talent that is the
most available for the public veal is
the talent to be sought, and the more
thoroughly it is scattered over the
country and drawn together in general
assembly, the more thoroughly will all
the objects of government be mot.
1t Is nonsense to suppose that a
metropolis must necessarily contain
all the brains and bear all the honors
of q Commonwealth.
It is not right and not fair, and, were
it not for statutory provisions, the
entire Congressional delegation might
be monopolized on the same principles.
We look upon a change as a measure
of reform, and If adopted we predict
for it good results.
