Bob IngersOII's Convention.

The @National Liberal League" organized at
the instance of Col. Bob 1ngersoll and other
nonbelievers, met at Cincinnati, last week.
about 200 delegates being in attendance
A preliminary declaration and platform was
adopted. 1t is very long, and resolves that the
general motive of the National Liberal party is
to realize more fully than has ever yet been
done the main object of a government by the
people as expressed in the declaration of indie
pendence and the preamble to the constitution
of the United States; that to secure these
purposes a new party is necessary to
administer and reform the whole nation
al and State governments. The princi-
pies enuncisted are: Equal and exact justice to
all mon Of whatever State or persuasion, re-
ligious or political; peace, commerce and hon
est friendship with all nations, entanglng
alliance with none; the support of the State
governments in all their rights as the most
competent administrators of our domestic con-
republican tendencies; the preserva-.
ton of the General Government in it's
whole constitutional vigor; freedom Of
religion, of the press, or persons
under the protection of habeas cor
pus, and trial by juries impartially selected;
labor reforms of various kinds are asked for;
legislation against tramps condemned; reforms
in the currency: in the use and occupation of
land; female emancipation; universal compul-
sorry secular education; condemning creating
corporations except for the public good, and
present methods of legislation, advocating the
election of all public officers directly by the
people, and favoring the repeal of all Sabbath,
sumptuary and temperance laws.

Renewal Of the Underwood War.

Dispatches from Grayson, KY, state that "the
Underwood war is raging more fearfully than
even two years ago, when nothing but the State
militia could finally check it, after four men
had been killed Until two months ago matters
seemed to be quiet enough, but then one of the
Underwoods was foully murdered by the OPP
posing party. Strange to say, the Under
woods withheld from taking revenge. Two
weeks ago George Lewis Underwood died
from his wounds received in the war two
years ago, and it seems that, in order to re-
venge his death, Squire Holbrook, the leader
of the anti Underwood party, was shot while
going to his pasture Friday morning Hol-
brooks sons and clan then turned themselves
loose, and the next report was the killing of
Will Underwood while peaceably at work in his
field Monday morning. Now the news reaches
us of the shooting of George Underwood, ST.,
the father and chief of the Underwood party,
who was killed at his home yesterday morning.
"The woods up in the Upper Tygart portion
of Carter county are full of the men of the
two opposing parties, who propose to fight it
out among themselves without the interference
of the officers of the law, who do not interfere
in the least
Later reports from the Underwood war con-
firm the shooting of old George Underwood,
who was literally riddled with rifle balls when
he stepped out of the door Of his house, known
as Fort Underwood, yesterday morning. Six
teen shots were fired at him simultaneously.
six of which penetrated his body, and one, en-
tering his forehead. tore his skull all to pieces
Three balls pierced his breast and one of them
his heart

stage Of the Underwood war, and the Lord only
knows how many more will have to bite the
grass" "a.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Secretary Evarts is said to be opposed
to the appointment of Gov. Fenton as Minister
to England, on the ground that he is not a
lawyer. Evarts is said to believe that it is
essential that all the important diplomatic po-
sitions should be held by good, if not eminent
lawyers. fe
A Washington dispatch says that the
demand for silver dollars is increasing every
day, and the United States Treasurer is in re-
ceipt of large orders from banks and bankers
throughout the country requesting him to honor
their acquisitions without delay. The princi-
pal demand comes from the Southern and
Western States, though the country banks in
New York State, and even in the cities outside
of New York, are sending for 1000 and SIC, 900
at time.
The silver certificate bids fair to take
the place of the standard dollar to a great ex-
tent. In paying out 10 per cent of the checks
in silver dollars, the United States Treasurer
is generally asked for certificates in their stead
This is especially the case with banks The
banks then pay them out over their counters
the same as greenbacks. In this way large
amount of silver certificates have got into cir
culation.

The Crops i'm Europe.

Mr.. Dana, of the New York San, sends from
of the crops in Great Britain and the continent
of Europe:
This year nature is against the British far
mer The season has been disastrous from the
beginning, and there is now no hope that it
will end in anything but calamity. Rains have
fallen necessarily. The crops, even the best of
them, have nowhere attained more than a
middling growth, and now the continued floods
destroy all expectation of an average product
in any part of the British islands.
Ireland is much better oil yet even there, in
many parts, the people are likely to suffer Sc
verely for want of food during the coming
winter
On the continent the situation is much less
gloomy; but in France, in Western Switzer-
land, in Southern Germany, and in Holland it
is still bad season. The general state of the
different crops may be summarily described as
follows
England, poor in France, better in Switzerland,
and in Southern Germany and Holland about
the same as in France. -st
Oats-A wretohed crop in every country
where | have been. In Ireland and in England
they are hardly worth harvesting; in France
and the other parts of the continent to which /
have referred, perhaps good enough to pay the
expenses of harvesting
Lucsrne and millet-Poor everywhere.
Potatoes-Quite as poor as the oats-every-
where bad crop; In Ireland especially, and
IN France, poorer than any other crop. good
potato will be rarity in all these portions of
Europe for year to come. The failure Of the
potato is, IN fact, as nearly complete as posi-
BILE and leave any potatoes at all; and this is
the case wherever my observation has ex-
tended. e..
Wheat-Poorest of all in England and Ire
land, where I should say the yield cannot pay
more than half it's cost In France there will
be perhaps three quarters of good average
and that country will be able to furnish it's own
bread for the coming year. The same is true OF
Western Switzerland, Southern Germany, and
Holland. But the United Kingdom will have tc
seek for its supplies elsewhere.
The only crop that seems to me at all salts
factory is that of vetches, of which, so far as
can judge, the yield is likely to be tolerable.
In Russia, on the other hand, all immense
wheat crop is reported, and heavy purchases
have been made there on Western account
Yet one wheat harvest Or dozen of them
will not ruin England.
