Never think it necessary to go any

her to walk to a neighbor's with you as

children keep still. Why the cows are
not MIXED earlier. Look around and

season, except to the south of Virginia
but peaches in Ohio and west of the
Mississippi, especially in Town and
California, are in fine condition. In the
more northern States the irosts cut the
grape crop below the average. and in the
South the Scuppcrnong has failed to give
an abundant yield In some regions, but in
about half the southern States, as also In
Kansas. Nebraska, and California, the
grapes give promise above the usual
yield.
The first bales Of this seasons Texas cot
ton have arrived at st. Louis, and the re-
ports of the crop throughout the South lead
tothc expectation that it will be- an unusually
heavy one. The Financial Chronicle expects
that the yield will be greater than last year
by 10000 bales. Meantime our exports Of
domestic produce continue to exceed our
imports, and the shipment abroad this au-
tumn Of our very large crops Of grain and
cotton will probably maintain this Increase.

IL has been insisted upon in favor OF Mr..
HAYES that his integrity Of character was
such that il was impossible he could ever
have been n conscntiug party to n fraud.
Tho evidence was conclusive that he was not
lawfully elected, and that he was only made
President 10y false and fraudulent returns,
and the circumstances indicated very clear
ly that HAYES was cognizant Of the cheat
ing and willing to profit by it, in answer
to this it was said that Mr.. HAYES. what
ever his defects might be. was cmncnty a
proper mana sort Of born Sunday school
tcachcr-a goody, from his cradle up. with
character Of such purity that nothing inn
purc could ever come near him. II he was
not great he was at least good.
From time TO time, a. the true character
of Mr.. HAYES has gradually become known.
the common opinion OF him has been under
going great change. ne Is no longer
looked upon as either great or good. He
has not the directncss, the fiankncss, the
good faith OF ordinary men His ways are
mysterious and devious. lie is n sneak.
An example Of the real character OF Mr..
HAYES has just been laid before the public
by Mr.. joins SHERMAN. Mr.. SHERMAN had
been stoutly denying that Surveyor Of the
port OF New York had been appointed or
selected; when, to his great astonishment,
he found that at the very time he was
making this denial Mr.. HAYES had filled
the place without consulting or even notify
ing him.
Now IL is not matter Of public concern
how Mr.. HAYES as an individual treats Mr..
SHERMAN as an individual; but the official
conduct OF the man occupying the place of
President of the United States toward the
Secretary Of the Treasury of the United
States Is n matter OF public concern. The
Surveyor Of the port of New York is a very
important officer. The Secretary of the
Treasury should have voice in his selec-
ton. To be sure, this is not written in the
statutes. The statutes do not say the
President shall consult the Secretary; but
many Of the highest obligations are not to
be found in any written law. For Mr.
HAYES to fill this Office without word with
Mr.. SHERMAN on the subject. shows Mr.
HAYES To be n mean man-anything but
such man A. he used to bc portrayed.
This mode of administering the Office OF
President by Mr.. HAYES affords a striking
commentary ON his pretencc that his re-
moval OF ARTHUR and CORNELL was all for
the sake of harmonious working Of the
Reform Administration! Harmonious work.

The Last Week of July.

We are in the closing week Of July.
with weather against which the most
querulous can make no complaint The
thermometer in the city which last Friday
indicated 9s' in the shade, showed only 7G'
on Monday, when the mercury was at its
highest; and yesterday the temperature was
not less comfortable. Fresh northerly and
northwesterly brcezes made labor ON Mon
day and Tuesday far from irksomc and gave
refreshment to the people, who shortly be-
fore had painted under the heat.
The dreaded heat wave of last week was
not very serious enemy. 1t soon expended
its force. and was Immediately succeeded by
violent transforms that cleared the air. at the
same time that they did more or less damage
TO crops aud buildings. On Saturday these
storms prevailed throughout this State and
New England. At Albany, Middletown,
Buffalo, Whitehall, and Poughkcepsie, in
New York, and Concord, \. H., and Glouces-
ter, Mass, the rain poured down in torrents.
the wind tore up trees and lcvelled dwell
ings, and the lightning did serious injury
10 life and property. At both West and
East, also, the thermometer fell rapidly,
and there Is reason to hope for n continue
ance of the moderate weather which makes
these latter July days so agreeable
The reports Of the crops now gathering
are almost uniformly encouraging. Cold
weather, with frosts, maintained until late
in the spring in some regions even en-
crOaching on June worked i'll effects, but
most of these We're only temporary. and all
of them were felt ovcra comparatively small
area. In Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin,
where the wheat harvest has just begun, the
storms and the recent hot weather have in
some parts of the States affected the yield
iniuriously, but it is not likely to be behind
the rich total of last year, nusmuch rs the
acreage has been increased enough TO about
offset any damage done. The injury to the
crops Of the West generally, which at one
time was reported, perhaps for speculative
purposes, rs very grave, proves To have
been Of slight account; and there is good
reason for anticipating that the harvest
will even exceed that of last year, a year OF
remarkable plenty. Reports gathered by
the Cincinnati Enquircr Indicate rich crops
of grain in Ohio. Indiana, and kentucky.
and show an Increase Of acreage planted.
In the Middle States there has been n luXu-
RANT harvest OF wheat, and at the South
! the corn is exceptionally promising. The
season throughout the country has been an
admirable one for hay, the rains having
been frequent and abundant, and the yield
of oats is everywhere large. A somewhat
smaller acreage Of tobacco has been plant
ed, owing to the low prices, but tho crop is
II full one.
The spring frosts damaged some of the
fruits, but there is promise Of full yield of
apples throughout New England in the
Western States, and ON the Pacific coast.

THE PoWERs or CORPORATIONS.
An Important Law Question that Judge Van
Brunt was Asked TO Decide.

An important question OF law affecting
corporations was passed upon by Judge Van
Brunt in Special Term OF the Supreme Court
yesterday The case was that o, Edward $.
Vail. receiver Of the Secor Sewing Machine
Company. against Richard Hamilton and Scy-
mour A. Bunce. The compnnys stock con-
sisted OF 5000 shares $40 OF which were held
by the company. They transferred 500 OF these
shares TO Frederick A. Conkling to secure
debt due to him. and subsequently n mortgage
Of all their property was made to the defend
ants 10 secure certain bonds by a vote OF 2 .764
shares OF the stock. and Of the $40 shares
claimed to be owned by the company. To make
this "A valid mortgage the assent OF the owners
OF two-thirds Of the stock was required In
other words the assent OF 1884 shares was
necessary TO validate the mortgage. With the
4il shares retained hy the company. the vote
was only 3.2U4. while. including the 500 pledges
10 Mr. COukling. the vote was more than the
requisite two-thirds. Mr.. Conkng took pro-
crrdiugs TO throw the company into Insolvency
in which the plaintiff was appointed receiver,
and on behalf OF the general creditors he sued
to set aside the mortgage TO the defendants.
Judge Van Brunt. in his decision, says there
WIS ut least $50 shares outstanding, leaving
out the company's $40 shares and the question
WAS as to the vote ON the 500 held by Mr. COnk-
case OF eX parte Holmes and other cases to show
that the law Ia strongly preIudiced against al
lowing a company To vote on it, own stock and
holds that even II the company could vote on
the 49O shares il could not on those transferred
To- Mr.. Conklng, even though they were pledged.
since the law allowing pledgOr to vote on
his own stock does not apply where the stock
had been actually transferred. and stands in the
name OF the pedgrc ON the transfer books. Ihe
law provides that the transfer books shall de-
tcrminc the right TO vote. and there II no pro-
flcting with that statute. The mortgage il
therefore declared void.
