The Wheat Crop Prospect Hereabout.
Our old friend, VIM. Busby, Of Short
Creek, informs us that his wheat looks
very well for the season Of the year-al.
most too well in respect to growth, as he
expresses 1t but that In some places in his
locality the crop Is not so promising.
We are inclined to think that the follow.
ing, letter from o, correspondent OF the
Washington, Pa, 0alb5er, writing from
Prosperity In that county, sets forth the
facts in regard to the wheat crop in this
region Of country both intelligently and
reliably. He says:
AT present there Is great deal said
upon the outlook OF wheat In this section.
many prophesying that there will not be
more than half crop, everything being
favorable from this out. It will NOT
do to look back on last years wheat crops
as a'samplei for ithas not parallel, pre-
sumo, In the history Of this country. We
should remember that wheat sown as late
as October 25th and 30th yielded equal to
that sown from the 9th 10 the Goth Of Sep.
tember. 1tlnade but little difference wheth.
or the seed fell on stony ground, clay or
loan, It sprang up as II by magic and
grew throughout almost the entire win.
ter and by the first OF May 1t stood
ttom' twelve to eighteen inches high ALL
over the country, many fields yielding
from twenty to thirty bushels per acre.
Not 30 this season: wheat sown broad
cast on ground half plowed and narrowed
in the old slip-shod way, unless the loca.
tion Is very favorable, looks bad. The frosts
OF winter have stunted It out until some
fields have not one fourth Of stand, but
where the ground was thoroughly plowed |
and well drilled in at the rate 81 one and |
half bushels to the acfeit looks equally as
well as 1t did last season mot so tall but
fully as thick) At present every thing
indicates bountitul harvest, more than
an average with former years, In conClus.
ion would say TINT the Lancaster wheat
stands in this locality head and shoulders
above all other varieties, and has produced
q better average the last ten years than
any other wheat.
A correspondent Of the same paper
writing from Buffalo township says that
"there is not a very bright prospect for
wheat" and another writing from Point

SILVER wILLIAM.


The silver bill was taken up, and Mr..
Klmmel offered an amendment fixing the
weight Of silver dollar at 460 instead OF
f4l24 grains. ls.-E- ~,
Mr.. Fisher favored the amendment and
opposed the bill, arguing in favor Of q sin.
gle standard, ,l-T..-. q. ,-,.....--.
Mr.. Fisher argued that the legal value
OF gold aud silver coin had always been
and always must be held subordinate to
bullion value, and that 1t was impossible
to maintain two unitsdiiEering in intrinsic
value. 'a Al w. 9'Nt77
Mr.. Warner asked how the marketyalue
was deterInined?i 'E1i!imsi
Mr.. Fisher said it was regulated by
law Of the supply and demand. He
quoted from the remarks OF Mr.. Kelley, Of
Pennsylvania, in 1872, in the same line OF
argument, and asked Mr.. Kelley how gold
coin could be kept in the country when
the difference between gold and silver was
fixed by law at fifteen to one. s-..... !
Mr.. Kelley retorted by asking Mr., Fish.
er how single standard could be made OF
that metal which huctuated so much as
gold dld2 He added that he would retain
both gold and silver coin in the country,
/ by putting them, not at Is To l (which ex.
pels gold) nor lG to (which expels sill.
yer), but at ISL to !, which enabled France
and the Latin Union TO use both metals
coincidentally and Unfortunately, and
would enable the United States TO avail
themselves Of both. '.''''a
Mr.. Fisher-Then understand the gen.
tleman not TO hold to the views which he
expressed In 1872. Am l correctp
Mr.. Kelley-I humbly confess that
have learned something since 1879.
Mr.. Fisher said he was reminded OF q
young man In the Scriptures who was
born blind, but had his sight given him
and who said II reportto the incredulous
know that whereas ! was once blind
now1 see" But he suggested that KELLEY
had better rise and say once did see
these things clearly, but nowI am stonI
blind. Laughter ffr ,5sf1t.J u
Mr.. Kelley desired TO reply, but Mr.
Fisher declined to yield further and pro
ceeded with hisspeech. He echaraCterizet
the bill as fraud and cheat, which
would rob the people Of America, 1twa
also In some respects free trade measure
and he would commend that fact to the
attention othis colleague Kelley).
I MI. Chittenden opposed the bill as III,
most violent and ilexcusable assault OF

SENATE. h
The Senate resumed consideration ofthl
House bill prohibiting military interier
ence at elections, Hr'.It
Mr.. Morgan advocated It's passage, argu
ing that the trainers Of the Constitution
with view 10 the preservation OF public
liberty drew q broad distinction between
the regular army and militia, and that thu
latter should be employed to enforce thC
laws. The subcommittee Of the Senate
Committee on Judiciary decided last years
law stopping army promotions above the
rank Of Captain to be still in force.
MORGAN REVIEWS THE PRESIDENTS VETO
Mr.. Morgan reviewed the veto message
and contended that the President was mol
part Of the legislative power, as had
been claimed. Il was never intended thai
he should be, but that he had the right
only to. stay the passage Of law. II the
Judgment OF the people through their rep.
resentatives was thus prevented from be-
coming the law OF the land unless in some
express form acceptable to the Executive,
no right existed TO destroy. the Govern
ment or put stop to It's wheels. When
the Executive said that he could not unite
with Congress in their Legislation 1t was
a duty they owed 10 their constituents, not
to the Executive, to carry on the Govern.
rnent In constitutional way, and to make
the necessary appropriations for the sever
al Departments OF the Government. But
apart from this, they had right 10 say
that the army should not be used at the
polls unless in pursuance OF constitutional
authority, and should never be employed
10 prevent free elections. The South had
Ioutlived the intliction Of troops at the
polls, which had been withdrawn in obed.
ienCe TO the sentiment OF the North. The
unifcation and consolidation OF the South
was owing to the use OF the army at elec.
tons more than to any other cause.
,cALIsTHE PRESIDENT. A PRETENDRR.
Ina further review Of the Presidents
veto Mr., Morgan said the people in their
own time will rebuke this pretender. The
arrogant and preposterous assertion, that
Congress could not employ method OF
legislation to which he objected was an
swered by course OF the President him.
self while he was a member Of the House,
he having voted for legislation on up.
preparation bills. His conscience at that
time was not full grown, it was not sufti.
clently matured to grasp the great consti.
tutiOnal questions. 1t was to be deprecated
that the President, so far, forgot himself
as to charge improper motives to q ma
iority In Congress, and this scandal ought
TO be rebnked. Morgan left the President
where his imputation belonged.

mercial nations adhered to the gold

modified would certainly force on this
country an exclusive silver standard. He

and resumption came TO the great and
