Good erospeets for tn. crop..


 LONDON, August 1-The Standard. in an article on the harvest, says: 'sThe general opinion in Mark Lane is that there is an average wheat crop in England, and great majority of the reports from the different districts confirm the estimate. The barley crop cannot fail to be an average one. The root crops are less promising than they have been at this period for many years Pota- toes, however, are as good as the roots are bad.

The Lana Bill and Irash Evfettons.

LONDON, August 1.--In the House of Lords Lord Cartngford, formerly Sir Chichester Fortescue and ex-secretary for Ireland, moved the second reading of the Irish land bill. On this motion debate began, which is still pro- ceeding, but the impression prevails that the debates will not be very protracted and that the bill substantially unaltered will go back to the Commons in time for the final passage before the 12th of August.
 Official returns submitted to-day show that the, number of families evicted from their homes in Ireland during the three months ending June 20th was 1.O65 This means that about seven thousand men women and children have been turned out of thelr homes Five hundred and ninety-two of these fami- lies have been readmitted to their homes as tenants or care-takers with the right of ten ure and liable to be turned ont again at any moment and without notice.
 LONDON, Aug. The debate on the Irish land bill in the House of Lords will be ended tonight, and it will pass the second reading as modified by the committee. Lord Sails bury during his speech suggested the adop- tion of the amendments moved in the House of Commons by Mir. Heneage.

Senator Bruce's Cabinet Aspiratisns.

A special dispatch to the New York
World says: 1.-THE movement in favor
of the appointment to the Cabinet of
Senator Bruce. of Mississippi, has by
no means been abandoned. 1t is claimed
by many Republicans of the South, both
white and colored, that their section
should have representative, and that
Senator Bruce is in every way the
proper man. Mr.. Bruce has said that he
would accept the appointment as
Postmaster General or Secretary
of the. Interior, two offices,
especially the former, for which
he thinks he is competent. He has no
desire for the Navy Department. which
would bring him in contact with officers
whose preiudices and education might
cause them to shrink from him. He
has given the Post Office Department a
good deal OF attention, and it is claimed
that he would manage it with skill.
When Senator Bruce's name was first
mentioned in connection with the
Cabinet, the Republicans objected
that the Southern Democrats would
regard the appointment as an af-
front Senator Lamar said to day
on the subject: so far from Directing
to the appointment Of Senator Bruce, the
Mississippi delegation, and l think most
of the Southern members, would choose
him as the representative Southern Re
publican. Neither | nor any other
Southern namnorof hoe falra, o., aaf;ro
part in his behalf. but we all feel enough
friendship and regard for him to make
it as plain as words can put it that if a
Southern Republican is to go into the
Cabinet, no application would please us
more than that of Bruce. He is modest
and intelligent short, noble negro. :"

The Next Senate.

Should Republican Senator be elect
ed in Pennsylvania, as is probable ulti-
mately, the Senate of the next Congress
will be composed of thirty-seven Demo
Gratis, thlrty-seven Republicans, and Mr.
Davis lind, Ill., and Mr.. Malone (Read-
ulster Dem, Va.) Should Mr.. Garfield
nominate Dir. Davis to the Supreme
Court bench, the Republicans would
control the Senate, either through Vice
President Arthur's casting vote or the
aid of Mr.. Malone. The chances are,
however. that Mr.. Davis will remain in
the Senate, and that, with the exception
of one or two offices, the Democrats will
control the organization. Mr.. Gorham,
of California, who bolted the Republican
State ticket there year or two since and
who was generally denounced at the
time by the Republican press, as thor
oughly dishonest and corrupt, but who
recovered caste by arduous underground
work for Garfield last year, is likely to
be chosen Secretary of the Senate
through the aid of MIR. Malone. There
have been limitations recently that Sena-
tor Davis, of Illinois, would be made
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee,
but what return he is to make therefor
has not transpired. Secretary Sherman
is said to be on the "slate" for his old
position of Chairman of the Finance
Committee, but how he will secure it is
still a mystery. Possibly the Malone
bargaiE may extend to that point.

TELEGRAPH WIRES UNDERGRoUND.-
A number of electricians visited Cam.
den, n. j., last week, for the purpose
of inspecting system of underground
telegraphy which has been laid for a
square on Arch street in that city by the
National Subterranean Electric Com
pany. The wires are conveyed through
terra-cotta pipes bored with numerous
small holes, and the necessity of tearing
up the road when a break occurs Is
obviated by imam hole" at the end of
the street, to which the wire is drawn by
means of a reel. The Philadelphia
papers say the tests were of the most
satisfactory character. The company,
organized under the laws of New Jer-
sey, propose locating the lines in differ
ent cities, and allowing the telegraph
and telephone companies to use either
the pipes or the wire for certain con-
sideration, thus doing away with the
present system Of poles and wires above
ground, which are so liable to be disar-
ranged by storms.

SENATOR DAVID DAVIS UPON THE Re-
ORGANIZATION OF THE SENATE OFFICES
A prominent gentleman who is intimate
with Senator Davis, of Illinois, told a
Washington Star reporter on Friday
that the latter would vote to maintain
the present organization of the Senate;
that Senator Davis said that a move
ment by the Republicans to reorganize
would be entirely and essentially par
tisan effort for the benefit solely of the
Republican party; that to support such
a movement by his vote would be for
him to sustain frank partisanship, !"
while in voting to continue the present
status he maintains his independence.
Therefore, if any change is made in the
Senate, it must be by General Malone
voting with the Republicans, unless
Pennsylvania shall delay the election Of
Senator until after the 5th of March.
That would leave the Democrats easy
victors.

ADDIet0ns' Journal for March gives a
varied bill of fare, including adventure.
travel, literary criticism, historic criti-
cism, romance, and social essays. In
Adventures in Patagonia" we have a
very fresh and stirring paper, giving
number of graphic descriptions Of
ostrich hunting, deer hunting, puma
shooting, and other nOmadic adventures
in that far-off land. The hunters were
three English gentlemen and Lady
Florence Dixie, the article being based
on Lady Dixie's work describing the
Journey. Scotch Orthodoxy and Modern
Thought" is a searching and suggestive
review of ''Scotch Sermons" which
Just now is attracting so much attention
in literary and theological circles. There
is probably no more unique and pictur-
esque figure in history than Suwarrow,
or Suvaroff, the famous Russian General
of the last century; and the paper in the
Journal describing his strange and fan
tastic character is one of really intense
interest. A paper entitled "Some of
Shakespeare's Female Characters" has
fresh interest, if only from the fact that
it comes from the pen of the once
famous English actress, Helena Faucit,
now wife of Sir Theodore Martin, author
of the Life of the Prince Consort. "Then
we have papers on "Tennyson's New
Drama" on George Eliot" on "The
Criterion of Poetry" and on "Some Re-
cent Novels" There is an original story
by Barnet Phillips, and the conclusion
of Erckmann- Chatrian's Veterans of
Yesterday" The editor has several
papers, including a discussion of the
Shakespeare and Bacon question, with
some fresh suggestions on the topic, and
a wholesale assault on the theory that
women have superior intuitions to men.

A Future Question with Mexico.

1t is said that the Mexican Govern
ment, in its grants of subsidies to Amer
lean citizens and corporations. has over
done the business and involved itself in
obligations which will in the end cause
that country to fall into the hands of the
grantees. These grants have been made
to railroads and interoceanic and inter-
national corporations-to Jay Gould,
Russell Sage, Huntington, Nickerson
and others, and convey such powers as
will enable the corporations to build
roads over the most important parts of
the country, and hold it till
American immigration shall pour in and
occupy its rich mines, its fertile
lands and its water power sites. 1t is
stated that the subsidies granted in the
last few months amount to 500, 900. 600,
conditioned only on the building of the
railroads and the completion of the other
enterprises-and this, too, although the
government has not a dollar in the
Treasury to pay the obligations with.
The grants, therefore, amount to a mort
gage of the country to American corpo-
rations-and this will ultimately result
in the ownership of Mexico by the
grantees.
This, remarks the st. Louis Repu6tS-
can. suggests some interesting possibili-
ties in the future. The favored corpo-
rations, when they shall have built their
works, will demand their granted subsi-
dies, and failing to receive them, will
cali upon their government to exact
them, IN the same way the French Gov
eminent attempted to enforce the Jecker
claims in 1S64-by war. The question
then will be that of war with Mexico
whether our people will or will not con-
sent to an invasion of that country to
secure the claims of its citizens.

Why the Grant Ring Oppose the
Panama Canal.


capt Eads, says the Courier Jour
nal, sis probably right in saying that
Grant and his canal group have no idea
of constructing a canal across Nicara-
qua. All they want is to kill off De
Lesseps, if possible, and prevent the
completion of any water route which
will compete with the rail routes.
Grant himself is interested in securing
immunity from water route competition
for the railroads constructed and to be
constructed to the Pacific. The method
of the Central and Union Pacific with
reference to the Pacific Mail and the
Panama railroads shows very clearly
that if transcontinental railroad compa-
MES can prevent serious competition,
they viii not hesitate to use their
power. The Pacific Mail, 1t will
be remembered, has been compelled to
carry only certain amount and quality
Of Pacific coast freight, 80 as not to in
lCllCIC Will Tic n
water route will transfer large portion
of transcOntinental freight to steamers,
and hence the opposition to De Lesseps'
canal under pretense of asserting an
American policy with reference to the
isthmus. If an interoceanic canal is
really commercial necessity for Europe,
As we'll as for the United States, the
United States Government cannot adopt
the dog in-the-manger policy and say to
a foreign company: You shan't build
any canal; but we do not care about
building one ourselves A declaration
like that requires powerful navy back
of it, and we have no navy which de-
serves that name"

The indications are that al extra SEES.

The indications are that all extra ses-
sion Of Congress viii be called very soon
after the Inauguration of Mr.. Garfield
The Republican managers are DESTROYS
of an early distribution Of the "spOils &"
as well as of debating the disposition of
such matters as refunding and reappor-
tionment, and they are accordingly so
manipulating matters in Congress as TO
furnish an excuse for an extra session.
One very conclusive proof of this be-
Ing heir.BaFpose is found in the fact
that newly elected members of Congress
from the Pacific coast are TO be in or
near Washington by March 4th. Sena-
tor-elect Miller Rep., CALI has already
arrived at New York. And yet, we
seem to remember that but two or three
years ago the Republican press furiously
declared that extra sessions of Congress
were disastrous to business interests by
reason of the uncertainty necessarily en-
gendered by them, and that the Demo-
cratic party deserved the severest posi-
bic punishment for having necessitated
an extra session.

Now that he is not Presidential

1t is to be hoped that the bill intro
duced in the House, on Monday, limit
ing the expenses to be allowed to prin-
cipals in contested election cases TO
s., 600 each, will become a law. The
lot of dIsputants in this respect has not
heretofore been a very hard one. The
practice has been to defer final action
upon such cases until the last session OF
the Congress in which they are
brought. Then if the contestaEt is ad-
mitted to seat his salary dates from
he beginning of the Congress, the con-
testee having also drawn salary from
that time 66,,sides, both are allowed
expenses at their ON terms. The adj
vantages of such an arrangement are SO
manifest that of late there has ben q
decided disposition to take up consisting
seats for a livelihood. The purpose Of
the resolution is to take election cases
from the category of profitable pro-
LESSONS.
