nization of the Republican party OF
Wisconsin. Many Republicans be-
lleve it to have been a mistake to call
the Convention thus early, as it will
occur about In the time Of harvest,
when it will be difficult to have pro-
per representation from the rural dis
tncts- In opposition to this idea, it is
asserted that, having the anniversary
'boom" to help it along, it will be
shown that it was most opportune
time to hold the Convention; and that
the celebration of the birth Of the par.
I'ty, by the presence Of prominent
speakers, and a general flow of enthu-
siaom, which is sure to follow, will
give the ticket placed in nomination a
send off that will prove irresistible, re-
suiting in its election by an overwhelm-
ing majority. The question agitating
the Republicans seems to be, whether
the present State OHicers-all good,
reliable, and able men in their several
positions-sha! be renominated, and
thus accord the courtesy extended to
their predecessors of trial for a sec
ond term; or shall be set aside for new
and nntried men. IF reports are true,
ex-Gov. Ludington, of Milwaukee, is
playing a singular political role. To
all intents and purposes he is striving
hard for the nomination of Governor
against W. b. Smith; and yet tells his
friends he does not want the office Of
Governor-in fact, would not take it
if he could get lt,-but is simply on
the war-path to squelch Smith and
place him hors- combat in the con-
vention. II t~anspires that over the
dead body of w. e. Smith Mr.. Lud-
ingtOn expects the form of John M.
Bingham, of Chippewa Falls, to rise and
receive the Gubernatorial honors at the
hands of the Convention. Then another
ardent worker 10 the same cause aud
to the same end is John Z. Edred, of
Milwaukee, candidate for Secretary of
State. 1t remains to be seen whether,
to crafty a seemingly foolish prejudice
Mr.. Ludington holds against Governor
Smith, and to promote the ambition
of Mr.. Eldred in the direction of the
Secretaryship, the Republican party
of Wisconsin will turn it's back on
faithful and tried men, who ha e
given the best Of satisfaction in their
official capacity to the people of the
State. We have every reason to be-
lieve that the Wisconsin, Republicans
will act right in lh s matter when the
time comes, and accord to the present
State officers a denomination. It is
generally conceded that, if one fa Is of
denomination, all the old officers must
60, and make room for an entire new
set. Believing that the practice Of re-
nominating would not be changed, the
people have not been canvassing for
new men, and would come to the Con-
ven'ion i'll prepared to make proper
selection of candidates for the impor-
tant Offices to be filed. W. L. Il.

THE CRops.-LoNDoN, July g.
Official reports from the Italian har-
vest say rain aud inund ations have
rendered the prospects in the north
deplorable. Central Italy promises at
least moderately good harvest, the
southwest and Sicily tolerabIe, and the
southeast and Sardinia excellent. On
the whole the anticipations are for an
under-average. According to Odessa
newspapers the situation of crops in
Southern Russia and the Caucasus,
has been scarcely ever so bad as at the
present. What was left by the. drought
and hail is now, it is asserted, being
annihilated by frightful swarms of
grasshoppers and corn beetles in the
neighborhood of Odessa and in the
governments of Bessarabia, Ekaterino-
SLOW, Khersou, Poltava, Tifis, Terek,
Boku, Slayroppo aud Kutaes.

This is not an actual increase of the
debt, but the balance in the treas

May on account of the payment of
the arrears of pensions and other
extraordinary expenditures. The

vious fiscal year when there was no

During the fiscal year ending une

900 has been issued, nearly one
half of which has been returned to
the treasury, so that there are now

Now the amount is $353,ooo'ooo.
On the 1st of January, when the
resumption of specie payment took
place the amount of gold in the
treasury was $I35,3S2,ooo. The
amount in the treasury now is sI35,

resumption and makes a strange
contrast with the predictions of
the Bourbons and greenbackers one
year ago. But fortunately the peo-
pie have learned how little value
can be attached to such kite-fying
assertions.

THE BURLINGTON & SOUTHWEST
ERIN RAILROAD.
IFrom the Carrollton Record. july 18th.

[From the Carrollton Record, July 5th.1
We publish in another place an article
from the Lexington Intelligencer' of
late date. regarding this road. As we
took occasion to say q week or two ago,
there is no reason why the road should
go to Lexington that is not equally as
good an argument why it should come
to Carrollton. At least it can do no
harm to make some inquiry as the work
OF preliminary surveys is going for
ward, as to tue intentions or desires OF
the company with regard to the route to
be decided on. 1t the road should 60
through the extreme northern or north
western part Of the county of course it
cannot 60 to Lexington, and passing
through at that distance it cannot much
hurt Carrollton. In fact it will help
every farmer in Carroll county by open
ing another outlet to market.
If on the contrary it should come south
OF Regards Mound, and north OF Nor
borne, and thence on to Lexington, it
would essentially iniure Carrollton and
ruin Norborne.
1t seems necessary, therefore, that the
citizens of Carrollton and Norborne
should be up and doing IN the matter.
IT there is any danger of the latter route
being taken we cannot get to work too
soon. or too vigorously. 1t seems to US
that we ought to be dong something to
ascertain the intention of the officials of
the Burlington and Southwestern rail-
road company. ii it is possible to do so,
by communicating with them at once
either through the person of some prom
inent citizen of the county or by letter.
1t will be a fatal error tor C~orrollton
and Norborne if we allow the location
to 60 on without any attempt on our
part to ascertain what can be done, or
whether anything can be done to secure
a favorable location of the road for oul
county.
