The Crops in Essex, Greuces.er, dc.


Editors Dispatch: The writer has lately
been on trip through the counties OF Es-
sex. King and Queen, and Gloucester. The
farmers are lamenting the great injury to
the wheat crop. In Essex the crop seems
to be more promising, the rust being con-
fined to the blade thus far; but in King and
Queen and Gloucester the farmers seem to
think they will not make seed. The wheat
has the rust so badly that in passing along
the public road one can see very distinctly
lis reddish appearance. In this county
some crops are greatly and others but little
injured. The very cool weather and con-
tinuins rains CT the last ten days, farmers OF
experience say, is tirst-ratc 1orthe wheat-in
fact. will be its salvation, IL anything can be.
The failure in the wheat crop will be ter
rible slam on our farmers, as most OF them
invested heavily in fertilizers and depend
on the coming crop to meet their payments
for these.
The weather continues threatening.

MILITARY COMPANIES.


MILITARY COMPANIES.
ST. LOUIS, May lin answer to 4 call
addressed to workingmen who had seen
military service either In this country or
Europe between three hundred and four
hundred men met at Turner Hall last night.
Ferdinand Amren called the meeting to
order, and stated that the object was to take
steps toward organizing military companies
10 be composed exclusively of working
men who were military veterans, to serve the
purposes OF workingmen and protect them
against encroaching upon their rights by the
military and police forces which have been
arrayed against them, placing them in the
attitude OF outlaws. Several speeches OF
the usual socialistic and communistic char
actcr were made. A great deal OF entfu-
siasm was manifested, and some 250 en-
rolled themselves as soldiers OF the army OF
workingmen. These men have got no arms,
and so far as known no means have been de-
yiSed to procure them. They will in all
probability purchase guns as individuals
and commence to drill at once.

SENATOR CoNKLING AND THE PRESIDENT
a RuNoEED TRUCE.-H Washington, May II.
Rumors have been very thick to-day to the
effect that Senator Conkling has made terms
with the Administration, and that nomi-
nee for the collector OF the port OF New
York vii! he sent in who will be acceptable
to him. Henry G.. Stebbens, who is type
OF the machine Republicans OF New York,
is said be the man agreed upon, but that is
not considered as absolutely certain. 1t Is
certain, however, that Senator Conkling has
not in the last few days made any remarks
rejecting upon the Administration, and it
was said that to-day he went so far in the
opposite direction as to remark that he did
not believe the House investigation Of the
facts OF the presidential election would re-
suit in duplicating any prominent Republic
can or in disclosing anything Of import
ance.-SpeciQE dispatch to the Baltimore

ANCIENT ORDER OF HIBERNIANs.--BoSto ton,
May lS.--The National Convention OF The
Ancient Order Of Hibernlans have adopted
the following unanimously:
ReSoiued, That IL there is anything in
our Order at present in opposition to the
doctrines OF the Church we all, as her ODE
dent children, are willing to rectify it as
soon as her decision is properly announced,
but until that decision is enunciated we
deem any attack upon the principles and
objects Of the Order, no matter from what
source it emaaates, understandable abuse OF
an organization whose only objects are
Christian charity, unity, and mutual benev-
olence. Our respect for civil law and our
admiration OF the free institutions OF this
free country are as steadiast and undying
as our devotion TO the Church whose teach
lngs we revere.

zens," and this convention calls upon al
men, who call themselves "reslecg1bs" I,
stamp out this infamous practice.
ResolJed, Filth, Tha, governments are in
stituted for the protection OF the governed
and that Is the province of the low, and Law
making power TO abate any and all bushes:
aIocations whose sole tendency is eril and
which lead TO porer,y and Gegredaf.On
Resided, SiJtA, That this Convention take
just pride in the institutions and laws of the
land, and Of this State, but We regard the
present license system a great disgrace to
our statute books, making legal, as it does,
that which all history demonstrates a curse,
and all the void knows TO be crime-the
traffic in intoxicating liquors.
Resolred !Saesih, That ii it is right to
sell whisky, it is wrong to impose a license
thereon; if it is wrong to sell it, Il e State
has no moral right to legalize wrong; and
that it is wrong to sell it, the statistics of
crime and pouaty from all the nations OF the
earth demonstrate. Hence, We call upon the
citizens of the State OF Kansas to do their
duty in the premises, and prohibit this great
and growing wrong.
Resided, ETchfh-That this Convention
looks forward to that day with great antici.
patton, when woman shall be accorded her
full right before the law and We hail them as
an open element in the worlds reforms; and
until that day, when woman can actively
engage in the politics of the country, must
our labors be deprived OF their greatest ef-
ficiency.
Resotre5, Lasly-That il is the duty OF
teachers, parents, and guardians, and all
Others having the "young" in their charge,
to early instil in their miuds the principles
of sobriety and temperance, both by pre-
cept and example.

County Temperance Union.
The following resolutions were passed a,
the late meeting of the LeavenworIh Coun.
" Temperance Union held in this city:
Resolred, First, That in this crusade
against intemperance, to further which VT
are here assembled, all religious Organiza-
tons ought to be actively engaged, and We
deprecate the fact, that 70 few churches in
our county are represented here.
Resided, Second, That the temperance
question involves all the great moral issues
of the dsy, and no man can be a consistent
moral man unless he Is a pronounced TEN
perance man, and certainly no man can be
a true ciris.iGa, whatever his profession may
be, until he becomes a moral man, and con-
seqGently a pronounced Temperance man.
Eesotued, 7hird. That the cause OF temper
ance is greatly impeded BY the elevation OF
Incorporate men to positions OF promi-
hence; and that il is the duty Of temper
saDce mento see TO it, that none bat prom
inent temperance men are elected to Offices
of trust and responsibility and that the
members Of this convention resolve to vote
for no man, who i. not an out and out tenn
persnce man.
Resolre3, Fortk.-That this convention
denounce the practice engaged in by many
of our leading politicians of buying and
bribing votes by frequent treating, as a
gross and shameful proceeding, endanger.
