CROP REPORT
For August, as Issued by the
Memphis Cotton Exchange.

The crop report for August, as is
sued by Secretary Gates, of the Mem
phis cotton exchange, was placed on
the bulletin boards of that institution
this forenoon. 1t includes 1872 re-
plies from various points in West
Tennessee, North Mississippi and
North Arkansas.
WEATHER-More favorable weather
during August is reported by 20; unfavor-
able by 109; excessive drought by 81 dry
with light showers by l3; too much rain
by S6i cold nights by 8; generally too
cold by u. Compared with last year lO5
report much less favorable 1S about the
same; IA more favorable.
CorToN FRUITING-Serious shedding
of forms is reported by l09; forming and
blooming well 81; moderately well "a; not
well At. On the uplands, the top crop is
generally reported as lost.
CONDITIoN.-Good condition as TO cul-
tivation is reported by So very fine in all
respects by TO- excessively grassy, Ill bad,
81. Compared with July it is Is per cent
off; and with last year at this time per
cent worse.
PIcKISG.-Picking began this year on
August q on the average, and is now gen.
eral. Last year it began about September
sth.
WoRys.-No material damage by

worms by 25; aggregate injury triAing.

RUST AND gHgDpINe,-Serious damage
by rust is reported by s9i slight by 80
none by lS, From to 50 per cent dam
age is reported, averaging l6 per cent.
BUspRY.-In Mississippi and Tennessee
the severe loss occurs with the August, or
top crop, which is almost an entire loss.
In the bottom lands everywhere there is
much complaint of too rank growth to
the plant, at the expense Of fruit. Late
planted corn will not average more than
half crop. The before June planting is
largely in excess of last years production.
In West Tennessee loss by shedding is
set down at % per cent, while late corn
has all been cut short by dropth.
In Arkansas, rnst, blight and shedding
has cut it short II per cent from previous
report. The corn and pork crop Is re-
ported good and plentiful.
In north Mississippi, rust, blight and
shedding had damaged cotton IA
per cent IS compared with the
previous report, and no top crop. The
corn crop Is the largest for years,

Hon. W. L. Duggan, Of Sewer
county, has been nominated by the
republicans for the state senate, and
will probably be elected, as he lives in
a republican district. He has served
in the legislature two terms and was
a useful, careful and respected mem
Der, although a republican, he
had many friends among the demo-
Gratis. Ifa member of his party must
represent that senatorial district, we
feel sure that few men could fill the
position with more credit and general
satisfaction. His father before him
served in the legislature with distinc-
tion many years ago.

NEGROES continue to pour into In
diana from Kentucky, to vote the re-
publican ticket at the October cleo
ton. 1t is reported that the republi-
can committees will sell off the
sickly ones after the election to
medical students to help pay
tie expenses of the campaign.
Those who go over there will not get
much to eat; the climate will not
ogree with them they will not Oe well
housed or fed, and it is not likely that
many of them will be in good health
after the election. The medical col
leges Of Indiana Eill do fourishing
business this winter, sud every indus
trious student can take home Q nice
skeleton at triAiDg cost. 1t looks
hard to make such use of the bones
of our colored fellow citizeDs, even in
the interest Of science and humanity,
and in the south where the people are
not SO progressive, such thing would
not be permitted-neveT.

TIE Courier. J Journal says: "ln
1864 Mcclellan received 1,8O8,725
votes, all of whom must have been
"rebels." In 1868 Seymour had in
crossed this rebel vote to 2,7O9,6l3,
probably owing to the fact that Gen
eral Francis f. Blair, noted south
ern general, was on the ticket with
him. -Four years later the seditiOn-
ist, Horace Greeley, who had distin-
guished himself by his disloyal utter
ances, received 2,834,079 votes, all
from rebels except one, that cast by
Carl Schurz, S. J. Tilden, noted re-
bel of New York, who had brought
about the downfall Of Tammany and
the loyal canal ring, received 4,3l5,
Sl5 votes, thus showing how treason
fourishes, for Hayes, who never did a
wicked thing and never said wise
one, only received 4,O49,O96. The
north must do something to conquer
this spirit of treason.

If we correctly understand Judge

we do not like it, and we predict his
defeat. He proposes to slacken FIRE

Of the enemy, and to those terms,

advance he will come. We in Virginia
know too we'll what the enemy
will propose when he is asked to
make his own terms. 1t means

interest and coupons to boot.
We have no hesitation in declaring
that the democracy cannot succeed
with any such platform. Here in the
baavy democratic county Of Sullivan
the wind is now blowing a hurricane

THE CAUSE OF TT.

The defeat of General Hancock is in,
eXplicable to those who appreciate the
character of the man and .dispaSsion
ately compare him with his success
ful opponent. They cannot conceive
such obliquity Of moral vision on The
part of the people as would select Gar
field in preference to Hancock for The
chief magistracy Of the republic. The
solution of the problem nevertheless is
not difficult.
l. a majority Of the EAmericau
people have not voted for Garfield
>. More than a million of the votes
cast for Garfield were given by an ig
norant, superstitiouS and imbruted
race incapable of making an intelli.
gent choice and governed solely by
their fears and passions i'll their ac-
ton AT the polls.
8. Every monopoly favored by class
legislation opposed General Hancock.
I. The whole power of the federal
administration was thrown into the
scale against General Hancock.
). The Pacific railroad corpora
tions and the Standard Oil Company
opposed General Hancock.
s. The management of the cam
paign was not entrusted by tie demo-
cratic national committee to General
Hancock's real friends, but placed in
hands Of W. Ii. Barnum and others
who opposed his nomination at Cincin-
natl and who are mere mercenary poll
iticians.
7. Samuel J. Tilden's Indifference
and John kel!ey's blunders defeated
General Hancock in New York and
this gave his candidacy the coup &c
grace.
Nevertheless GaI field is rot the
choice of majority Of the voters Of
the United States. He will be u 'snii,
nority" president and could not have
been chosen at all but for the peculiar
structure Of the electoral system. A
direct vote of the people would have
defeated him, as the returns will show,
and he owes his election after all to
the ':heresy of States Rights" SO much
decried by his party.--Pdtriot.
Millheim Journal. [volume] (Millheim, Pa.) 1876-1984, 1880-11-11
WHAT NOW q?

Disastrous as our defeat seems to be,
all is not lost. The Democrats still
have small but decided majority in
the U. S. Senate, and the new Presi-
dent can not appoint single man to
ofi:e without the "advice and consent
OF the Senate" We hope that the de-
mocratic senate will hang the goose
high for Garfield, and suggest that 1t
make full and free use Of its con-
stitutional prerogative ald not only
follow the old accustomed rut Of pas
sively consenting to tie appointments
that Garfield may choose to make, but
positively Gdvise whom he may appoint.
That will COMPEL him to scan the
ranks of his party pretty we'll for hon
est, faithful officers.
In the House the Democrats and
Greenbackers with democratic proclivi-
ties also have majority, SO that tn
country is secure against hasty or class
legislation. Courage, Democrats, the
radicals have not quite everything their
own way. The Democrats have as
much power in the administration Of
the government as the RADICALS.
Millheim Journal. [volume] (Millheim, Pa.) 1876-1984, 1880-11-11
WHAT TT MEANS.

The "glorious victory which the
Republicans achieved oYer the Demo
cratic party means much more than ap-
pears on the surface. 1t means drift
ing towards Imperialism it means a
continuation of the deep official corrup-
tion inaugurated by Grants admins
tration it means return to our high
est positions of the worst class of poll
tical pronigates ii means Grant for
President in 1891; it means prosperity
and increased riches for the profession
al classes, the capitalists, monopolies,
,bondholders and political ringsters, and
hard toll, low wages for the latorer
and mechanic, low prices for the farm
er and producer.
The "victory'' Of Garfield over Han
cock is a victory of the low, trucking
politician over the pure, noble man,
the heroic soldier and patriotic states
man ; a victory of political bigotry and
stupidity liberality and intelligence;
a victory Of sectionalism over nationa-
lity victory of corruption over hon
esty-of hatred and malice over love
ard good will. This and much more
is the ''size'' Of the recent glorious vic-

WASHINGTON LETTER
Washington, D. c. Nov. 9Th 1880.

Washington, d. c. Nov 9Th 1880.
One result of the late election is that
the Senate Democrats will retain pow
er to negative improper legislation ant
to defeat unfit nominations. This is
about all the Democrats are now SURE
of, but this much. General Garfield
must have a .."poIicy" relative to the
position in the Union Of those States
known as ''the South" He can not
shuttle through fom years as Mr..
Hayes has done. He must take the
ground of Senator Conkling and Sena-
tor Blaine, which is substantially
that such States have not equal rights
with other States, CT lie must take the
opposite ground. His expressions of
sentiment. have been one way On the
subject, and h is votes in Congress the
other way. He must have policy
about reforms in the civil service, too.
He can hardly do as Mr.. Hay es has
done on this subject, either. The Gen
eral has written the best statement |
have ever seen of the needs Of the civil
service, but in his letter Of acceptance
he swallowed it all. He knows there
ought to be changes in the tariff, too.
He has spoken and voted on every con-
ceivable side Of this tarif matter.
So, on these three principle questions,
it will be seen there is little on which
to base anything but a guess as to
what the course Of the administration
will be. But General Garfield, being
in a manner elevated above the party,
and made the servant of the whole
people, and all his ambition for office
being gratifed, there is no better rea-
son to hope for conservative action
from him as President than where he
has held any other Off ce.
There are no TIL mors as to Cabinet
selections except such as are unques-
tionably guess work. Representative
Frye, of Maine, is most spoken of as
Republican candidate for Speaker Of
the House.
In thed espat ches from New York,
of the colonization Of Republican vOt-
ers in New Y ork City and Brooklyn,
and several tn ousaLd" of them are
said to have been sent from this city.
do not know how to account for
the decreased Democ attic majority
there, but am sure so much Of this
explanation as refers to this city is er-
roneous. A great many men, prinCi-
pally negr oes, left Washington prior
to the lection, but they went to diff.
ferent parts Of Virginia and Maryland.
Whether they voted or got in those
States, don't know, but they could
not have voted in New York.
a decision has just been made by the
Firs Co mptrolleI of the Treasury that
Un tied States bond which is pay
able by its terms ''to bearer" may be
replaced by government when lost by
It's holder. No Congressional action is
necessary.

A Brilliant Comet Coming.
CARROLL.

The Rochester astronomical society
announces that the comet discovered
by Prof. Swift on Sunday, the 7th uit.,
promises to become very brilliant. 1t
is coming almost straight toward the
earth, and so its positions in the heay-
ems changes slowly. 1t is in the con-
stellation Pegasus, which is overhead
at about 9 o'clock in the evening. 1t
seems to be throwing off brilliant
tail, which will become visible to the
naked eye as it swings into the neigh
borhood of the sun. If this comet full
fills its present promise it will be a
magnificent object in the coming win
ter evenings. Some of the astrono-
mers, it seems, suspect that this may
be the great comet that blazed with ex-
traordinary splendor in the sWeStern
sky just after the war of 1872.
