Mark Lime Report.

LONDON, April THE Mark Lane Ex-
press says that tho sowing Of Spring crops
is we'll forward throughout the kingdom.
Autumn sown wheat 10 rather backward,
and in late sovn fields in some districts is
thin, but generally speaking the agricul.
'tural situation leaves little to be desired. 1t
is expected that the bulk of grain in Scot
land will be sown three weeks earlier than
last year.. Supplies OF home grown wheat,
both in Mark Lane and country markets,
have again been light. Prices have tended
upwards, as reserves in growers hands are
doubtless becoming very small. With such
o scarcity the English grain consumption OF
foreign must greatly increase before harvest,
but as the weather hitherto has been favor.
able for growing crops, millers have steadily
adhered to the policy of merely supplying
their immediate requirements. Stocks in
granaries must also be getting very low, as
imports since the first Of January have not
suffered from home requirements, to say
nothing o. the quantity exported, Notwith-
standing these facts, trade, partly owing to
Easter holidays and elections, has been
apathetic. Country millers have been the
principal buyers. There has been an entire
absence Of speculation, as the existence Of 4
ring IN America despite the depletion Of
stock paralysis enterprise. The tendency
OF prices has been rather downward, imports
and shipments from America for the moment
being larger. American wheat showed q
decline OF od on Friday. Arrivals ct ports
Of call have been moderate In consequence
Of favorable weather and slight decline in
American wheat is Is Cd@2s lower. Alei2e

only refer to tho late war, in which for four
years our soldiers wcro exposed to oil kinds
0! hardship and prvation. Being unable to
procure liquor, except occasionally and on
tho sly, our soldiers found they could not
only live without it, but from experience,
thoy found that when fortunate, or rather
unfortunate enough, to get drink in the
morning thoy were less able to undergo tho
fatiguo of long march with it than without
it. This proves that men can do without it
and that its use does not invigorate, but
weakens the physical systcm.
We're il possible to rpmo,e it entirely
beyon1the view and eesch Of man its ues
could be easily given up and the deprivation
OF 1t would soon become ON acknowledged

every law which limits or checks its use will
diminish the evils flowing from it aud lessen
It's abuse. 10 this end some advocate prohi-
'bltory laws, but as every law. whether pre- :
Sen'lse Or remedial. derives its force FROM
public opinion. in the present state of feeling
proh'bsory laws would DO Mother respected

Tho Georgia Convention,

After session Of several days, made
nominations for all the State officers, exce,t
Governor, and for Presidential Electors. In
the bal!o,ting for Governor strong aud bitter
opposition to the re.oection of Colquitt was
manifested and this continued to the end
After the Adjournment Of tho Convention the
anti-Colquitt minority, being u little over
one third of tho delegatos appointed q com.
mittee to prepare an address to tho people
Of Georgia, setting forth their action and to
select candidate for Governor against Col.
quit. This committee has met, prepared and
published its address and nominated Ex.
Unitod States Senator Thomas NJ. Norwood
as its Candidate. Wo ure sorry tv soo th .
Democratic party Of this great Southern
State divided in tho election Of its Chief
Magistrate. 1t is true the Convention united
in tho nomination Of Presidential Electors,
and will poll largo Hancock majority, but
tho moral influence of this local schism in
the party on doubtful Northern States may
DO injurious to the Democracy. Both Nor
wood and Colquitt have accepted the caudi-
dacy for Governor and the decision betwe
them will rcst with tho people. Tue whole
complication seems to have grown out of tho
resolution offered by tho Colquitt delegates to
adopt the two thirds rulo in making nomina-
tons instead of sticking to tho majority rplo,
which had governed in oil previous convcn-
tions. This libcrality on the part of the
Colquitt delegates, who had it in their power
to nominate him on the first ballot, should, it
scoms to US, have been met by on equal
libcrniity on the part Of the minority in nom
mating Colquitt, especially when his voto was
Attle short Of two thirds, Of the delegates.
This view oftho duty of the minority issrongth.
encd when delegates wero chosen on tho COL
quit and anti-Colquitt feeling of tho people.
Both tho candidates arc certainly men Of
ability and reputation and ths State could not
suffer injury in tho election Of oitlor. 1t is
sato for Hancock and tho littlo trouble in tho
camp only oxtonds to the Governorshp.
