WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 15.-
Col. John Hay, formerly private
secretary to President Lincoln, has
been appointed Assistant Secretary
of State, to succeed Hon. F. w.
Seward, resigned.
The following is the condition of
the wheat, tobacco and corn crops,
as issued by the Department of Ag-
riculture to-day: Wheat-Returns
Of November 1st to this Depart
ment show an increase in the wheat
crop of twenty-six million bushels
over that of last year. This great
increase is the result Of very a large
yield in the States bordering on the
Ohio river and Missouri. The
northwestern States show but little
variation from last year. Kansas
and California both decline in yield.
Of all the Southern States there is
only one that falls off in yield this
year.
;, :. Tobacco-The indicated product
for the entire country is SO per
cent. Of that SO per cent.
the gain has been greatest
in Tennessee, Connecticut
and New York. The loss is greatest
in Ohio, Missouri and West Vir~
ginia, with material decrease also
in Maryland. In Illinois and In
diana the quality is better than
that Of the previous crop, though
damage to some extent from
'horse burn" is reported in Ken
lucky, and from frost in Ohio.
Corn-According to returns to
November 1st corn promises an in
crease of over 200,000,000 bushels,
or nearly fifteen per cent. over last
year. The Atlantic and Gulf States
note some decrease, but other
sections of the Union have
greatly increased their yields,
Southern inland States increase
nearly so per cent. and other sec
tions of the Mississippi Valley near
y 20 per cent. The Pacific States
report about the same yield as last
year.

KINGSTON, TENN, Nov. II, 1879
Nj EDITOR: I notice in your pape
Of to-day under the caption of "Com-
plexion OF the Next Senate" an arti-
Gle ia which you give the figures after
March 4, 1881, as f3llows: SO Demo
Gratis, IS Republicans and ! Independ-
ent. Allow me to call attention to the
fact that the term of Senator McDon-
aid, o. Indiana. will expire with the
present Congress. and should that
State follow the example of those
Northern States that have already
spoken, a Republican will succeed him
in 1881. IF such is the case, and the
Democrats fail in their evident pur-
pose 10 unseat Kellogg, the Senate will
stand 50 Republicans. 38 Democrats,
and Independent. I find in the facts
above stated, what L consider the real
animus of present activity in regard
TO the Kellogg investigation. Il is
quite evident that the Democracy are
beginning to see that their chance of
retaining control of the Senate will
depend upon their action in Kellogg's
case Yours, &c.
