THE CORN CROP.

The July report of the Agricultural
Department at Washington, sayssof the
corn crop: CAS- was foreshadowed IN the
June report, the area planted in corn
shows.an increase of per cent. In the
Now England States the arer does not
materially differ from that planted last
year. None of the Atlantic States show
any great change except North Carolina,
which reports an increase of per cent.
OF the Southern States, Arkansas shows
the greatest gains, being, as compared
with last year, 10S. Tennessee in
creases per cent, and Mississippi per
cent. 81 ,g'a, d.. -.-. -rrv"rs -'... -
OF the States North of Ohio River. Ohio
and Indiana each show decline of rer
cont. in area planted, while Illinois shows
an increase Oft per cent: and Wisconsin
4 per cent aa @f . d. n.
The States west of the Mississippi River
report large increases as compared with
last year, Iowa being 104, Kansas ia, and
Nebraska 11S. a.'
The average condition of the crop for
the whole country Of July was So; not
~ ~~'sSAA 90 ASSo y0aA POI CCAOs liz
returns from the New England States
show low condition, resulting form a late
spring and heavy frosts. The Middle
States report q fair condition except
some complaint of drought in Pennsyl-
vania. The South Atlantic States, with
exception of North Carolina, all report
q low condition. In fact the drought is
almost universal in the Gulf States
Texas has suffered most from this cause,
and the condition of the crop is only 63.
Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee each
report high condition, but not so high as
at the same time last year. In Kentucky.
Ohio and Indiana there is great COM
plant of defective seed, consequently
much corn Lad to be re-planted, and the
condition on July l was lower than the
previous year. In Illinois the reports are
more favorable, and the condition is very
nigh, being 1877 against 81 in 1878.
In those States west of the Mississippi
River, and where the increase of area
planted was greatest, the condition is
reported the highest, being lib in Mis-

dition." ~

NO MORE I THANK YOU!

Gov. st. John, of Kansas, has just pub
1ished q letter on the Exodus question:
which shows that he and other political
agitators and crazy fanatics who encour-
aged (some for partisan reasons and 9TH
ers from mistaken ideas of philanthropy
the African exodus from the South, have
got more than they bargained for. From
this letter here is a significant extract:
awe have already received and cared
for between four and five thousand of
these (colored refugees) here in Kansas.
stocked with them. It is utterly impos.
sible to obtain employment for them
now. The funds of the association are
about exhausted, and to send more Of
them here in addition to the number that
are already here and must be provided
for, would be q cruel outrage upon the
black man, and will necessarily result in
much suffering on their part for the want
of food or the opportunity to earn it.
I only say it wotld be an outrage
upon the destitute blacks to send them
here now, in view of the facts that I
have already stated-we have on hand,
including 100 sick and disab led, all it is
possible for our committee to provide
for."-JacEson Clarion. H.E

p%The ST. Louis Republican contains
the following: A very interesting case
testing the validity of the Louisiana
Convention in respect to the State debt
will shortly be begun in the Federal
courts. Holders of Louisiana bonds here
and in New York promise to test the ques-
zion as to whether q State can repudiate
the contract with its bondholders. I'M
der the constitution of 1874 the State
debt was funded in existing bonds. and
it was provided that five and half mills
of the State tax should be set apart an
nually for the payment of the seven per
cent interest then made the rate. These
bond holders say that that was a contract
and that the State cannot by subsequent
action impair the obligations without vi
olating the constitution of tho United
States. Some officer of the State is to be
sued on the old bonds and the case car
ried to the Supreme Count for decision.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS.

| The following remarks, from the
Gretna Courier, we deem. very ap.
plicable to our Parish:
- The election which will take
place on tho lst Tuesday ia Decem-
Der next, will be one of the most
interesting and important that has
ever occurred in Louisiana. Besides
pronouncing upon the new constitu-
ton. which, Of itself, would make
an important election, it will de-
vo!ve upon the people to choose
those who shall serve them for the
ensuing four years, ........
We are 10 begin anew. as it
were. every off cer: State and Par
sh. who is chosen directly by the
people, will be selected on that
day. Therefore. we deem it not
inappropriate to sly few words
to our friends of both parties in the
Parish, neither dictatorial nor ad-
advisory, but few common sense
suggestions for their consideration.
Already aspirants for nomination
are beginning 70 lay their plans.
and those who control the ma.
chine" assist in packing conven-
tons. &c., are preparing their
list of men who would make plant
delegates.
The preliminary, and very. if
not most important step, will be
the election Of delegates to nomi-
mating conventions. Parish and
State. This matter is generally
neglected by the majority of voters.
and the consequence is the minority
choose. They, too, frequently
make the wrong selections, obnox,
ious to the majority, and the re-
suit is Objectionable cam
didatcs, which often wes kens
the party bv causing diSsension in
its ranks. We beg our friends to
bear in mind aud act accordingly,
primary elections are highly i'm
pOrtant.
There are many independent
voters. and they are becoming more
numerous day by day. While they
may have party preference, it is
not far from correct to say, the side
which presents a ticket with the
mares Of The ablcst. and most hon
est men inscribed thereon, will have
their support. .
Machine !olitics, as it is called,
has done much in recent years to-
wards injuring parties. Many an
intelligent voter. who was once
considered good party man now
keeps himself a,oot, and takes 10
part in politics. save casting his
vote on election day, for those
whom he considers the best men :;
all from having seen third rate
men put in nomination, wtile ADLER,
and better ones in every respect,
have been sighted -sl:ghted for
10 other reasons, perhaps, than a
refusal to reso.t to ways that are
dark"
1t shoald he a party's highest
ambition, it would certainly be to
its best interest," to bring forward
its ablest men for Office. If those
to whom the power is given to
choose candidates, would. as they
should, think less Of individual
gains, and more of the general
welfare, honesty and ability. would
be INDISPENSABLE conditions for all
public officials.
II both parties will bring out
their best men, thought the adhcr-
ents OF each would prefer to see
their side win, the victory of either
would give satisfaclion-a rare
thing now~a- days, and a consum-
ma ton devoutly to be wished for.
