the citizen inquird:

A Lincoln Anecd0te.
From the Decatur(Ill. )Sun.

While Judge Logan of Spring
field, ILL.,, was Lincoln's partner, two
farmers, who had a misunderstand-
ing respecting horse trade, went
to law. By mutual consent the part
ners in law became antagonists in
this case. On the day of the trial
Mr.. Logan, having brought a new
shirt, open in the back, with huge
standing collar, dressed himself in
extreme haste and put on the shirt
with the bosom at the back, a linen
coat concealing the blunder. lie
dazzled the jury with his knowledge
of "horse points" and as the day
was sultry took off his coat and sum-
med up in his shirt sleeves. Lincoln,
sitting behind him, took in the stu
alton, and when his turn came, said
to the jury: "Gentleman, Mr. Lo-
gan has been trying for over an
hour to make you believe that he
knows more about horse than
these honest old farmers who are
witnesses; he has quoted largely
from his 'horse doctor, and now,
Gentlemen, ] submit to you (here
he lifted Logan out of his chair and
turned his back to the jury and the
crowd, at the same time Tipping up
his enormous standing COLLAR, what
dependence can you place on his
horse knowledge when he has not
sense enough to put on his shirt?"
The roars of laughter that greeted
this exhibition, and the verdict that
Lincoln got soon after, gave Logan
a permanent prejudice against "bos-

would vindicate the State from the
imputatiOn that, from top to bottom,
politically. legally, industrially and
commercially, it Is controlled by the
Democratic managers and rioters who
have just made their influence felt in
Yazoo county. No people can afford
to lie under such an imputation. The
Mississippians can not escape from it
il they do not step forward to help the
Independents in their struggle for law
and liberty against the politicians who
trample upon both.
There was an evident consciousness
OF this responsibility in the movement
which led to the Vicksburg conven-
ton last May. The lower part of the
Mississippi Valley was then disturbed
by the migration of colored labor,
and the convention was In
tended to dispel the fears in
which the migration originated,
and to furnish an assurance that
timidation and violence in political
matters should cease. Prominent in
the convention were many of the
Mississippi Independents, who thus
foreshadowed their present political
position. The pledges given by the
convention were apparently ample.
They were accepted as an assurance
that, thenceforward, the agencies en-
plOyed to coerce the laborers at cleo
tions should cease. Law was to be
| administered mpartially. Protection
was to be guaranteed to all. Of what
value will these pledges be if the per-
petrators of the YaZoo outrage go un-
punished? The colored people will
answer the question in their own way
They will say, truly, that If we'll
known white citizens, who have hlth-
Ierto been Democrats, can not conduct
an Independent canvass without inn
periling their lives, there can be no
hope for black Republicans. The
next convention at Vicksburg will
have to enlarge it's guarantees, includ-
| ing white as well as black. And 1t
will probably have difficulty in per-
susdiDg people that the guarantees,
however explicit, are worth the paper
on which they are written.

The wheat crop in the Northwest

The wheat crop in the Northwest
is something immense. It is just
being harvested in some of the
States. The Baltimore San, of
August 9th, says:
Every day of pleasant weather
now is worth millions of dollars tn the
states of Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan, where spring wheat is be-
ing gathered. Two or three more
favorable days will probably see the
greatest part Of the wheat in Mime
sofa safely housed. The total crop of
the State will be from As 900 900 to
$4,000, 900 bushels, averaging ten 10
fifteen bushels to the acre in the south
ern part of the State, and fifteen to
twenty-five in the Park region, north
of the Minnesota river. 1t is believed
that three quarters Of the wheat will
grade as high as No. l, which is un-
precedeuted. By the close of the
week little grain will remain out of
the stack, aud the berry is reported
hard, bright and firm"

The most original verdict was
that of an Irish jury before whom
a prisoner pleaded guilty" throw
ing himself on the mercy of the
court. The verdict was "Not
guilty" The Judge, in surprise,
exclaimed, "Why, he has confessed
his crime! !" The foreman respond
ed: "Oh, my lord, you do not
know that fellow, but we do. He
is the most notorious liar in the
whole country, and no twelve men
who know his character can belle e
a word he says" So the prisoner
escaped, as the jury adhered to
their verdict.
