Agricultural Reports.

Reports to the Department Of Ag-
ri3ulture show the general average
condition Of the potato crop tc Sept. l
was 70, q decline Of 22 per cent. since
Aug. /. The condition last Scptcm-
Der was 90. The severe and protract-
ed drought is the chief cause Of the
unfayorablc outlook, though there are
serious complaints in some localities
Of insect injuries. The New England
States, in cast Wisconsin, Minnesota
and most Of the Territories in the
West have been to " great extent eX-
cmpt from the disastrous effect Of the
drought, and their average Of the ear
lior part OF the season has been more
nearly maintained, but in the interior
States the general condition has been
one Of extreme dryne5s, which has in.
iured both potatoes and corn most
seriously. The general average Of
seven States, New York, Pennsylya-
MIA, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wiscon-
sin and Iowa, which together produce
three-fftbs Of the crop of the country
is GO, or within . per cent Of an ay-

The Chattanooga Times publishes
the report Of the assessors Of property
Of Chattanooga, which shows u large
increase in the wealth Of that city.
The total, the Tiacs says, exceeds all
anticipation, and the enhancement in
the value Of real estate has not been
forced up by the assessors, but i'll the
majority Of cases was voluntarily rails
ed by the property owners. The total
valuation is ~$l,073,S16, against So
29i,992 last year, an increase Of $778,-
S2I i'll twelve months, nearly 25 per
cent. To this valuation, the Times
states, probably 100000 additional
valuation for railroads in the city is
to be made, provided the decision of
Judge Trewhltt Is sustained by the
Supreme Court, which will probably
be done. This will swell the taxable
property of Chattanooga to nearly
$4,500,000. The result is extremely
satisfactory in every respect, and
proves that the facts more than war

''The demeanor of the American peo-
pie" says the New York World, "is
more dignifed in 1881 than it was In
1865. The drumhead court martial
which was organized to try the assassins
of Lincoln was unknown to the Law, and
not only did justice not according to law,
but, as is now acknowledged, did in one
case cruel as well as lawless injustice.
The assassin of Garfield turns from his
crime to be collared by policeman and
treated precisely as if he had attacked
the humblest instead of the most highly
placed man in Washington. And the
people would rejoice if his crime. even
if it falls short of murder, were capital
offense, prepare to acquiesce in pen.
atty which, in that event, will be misera-
bly, inadequate, rather than to execute
justice lawlessly. The American peO-
pie, therefore, in one of the most ex-
citing crises of their history, have made
it clear that the disturbance of the war
period has passed away and that they
live, and mean to live, under a govern
ment not of passions but of laws"

Washington Star: ''The talk about
protecting the life and person of the
President by guards of policemen, armed
soldiers, and similar expedients, is fool
ish in the extreme. Such precautions
have never saved from harm the rulers
of any country where injury was deter
mined upon, and they would not be efica-
cious here against the cunning, energy
and persistence with which a fixed pur-
pose of assassination would be followed
up. The Presidents life and person
must be protected, but that protection
cannot come from armed guards or from
absteutiOn from outdoor appearance on
the part of that official 1t must come
from a correct public sentiment as to
the responsibilities and duties of citizen
ship, and by higher and better educa-
ton where a sufficiently strong moral
sense does not now exist. This may be
a slow process, but no other agency will
be found reliable and effective"

About a Battle.
ILLUMINATION Star.

General Longstreet has been inter
viewed on the subject of Mr.. Davis
work. He is mild and respectful in
what he SAYS. His account of what Oc-
Cured really at the first battle of Ma
nassas is in harmony with what we have
heard and read. His version differs
from the ex-President's and is more In
accordance with known facts. he con-
tradicts General Joe Johnston as to one
important point. General Johnston says
there was no order to pursue. But Cen
eral Longstreet says that he received or
ders to advance and that he crossed Bull
Run and moved toward Centreville, and
was about to open fire, when he was
ordered to fall back again. He thought
the order to fall back must be mistake,
and kept his position until the order was
repeated. All was confusion in both
armies. He says the Confederate leaders
did not know how to profit by the vic
tory that had come so soon after defeat,
and the latter did not realize the strength
they might have put forth, or the success
they had obtained in the afternoon over
Beauregard. General LoDgstreet is
clearly of the opinion that Beauregard
was whipped in the afternoon, aud says
that Beauregard sent to order him QLong
street, to cover his retreat. But the
arrival of Johnston's forces changed the
defeat into victory.
We take this to be very nearly the
exact facts. If General Johnston had
not arrived so opportunity on the field
the first great battle of the war would
have been disastrous to our arms and
Mcdowell, with his handouts, would
have entered Richmond. General Beaure-
gard, with a small and not we'll dis.
ciplined force, was contending against
three times It's numbers, and was further
more taken at great disadvantage by
the admirable tactics of the Federal
commander, who crossed higher up than
was expected, thus disarranging the plan
of battle of the Confederate General.

A Veterans Disgrace.

Last Saturday afternoon, as a soldier
named James Mcclure. read from the
official bulletin at the Soldiers Home,
in Dayton, Ohio, the announcement that
an attempt had been made to assassinate
the President, he expressed his rejoicing
at the fact. The grieved patriots stand
ing by were enraged at this and rushed
at aim in body. They would probably
have killed him had not the man been
secured and hurried to the guardhouse by
the police. AS soon as Gov. Patrick
heard of the affair he ordered his uni
form to be stripped from him and suit
of citizens clothes put upon him. He
was then summarily expelled from the
home by the following order of General
Patrick:
National Soldiers Home General

violation of the fifth article of war, in

Tne promises Of His Preservation.


Out of the chamber, where the strick-
en- Executive is fighting his battle with
death, come tidings that must cheer the
heart of every patriot. II had hoped to
make my administration broad and
national, was his utterance, when ex-
pressing his gratitude for the heartfelt
sympathy and grief of mlsjudged Sec
ton of his countrymen. Years ago
Chief Magistrate cried: LET us nave
peace" and the hearts OF patriots
throbbed in glad expectancy. But the
words so fraught with promise were
barren of fulflIment, and he that ut
tered them lived to invite, by his studied
abuse of power, the detestation of every
man whose moral sense was not blunted
by the blind prejudice of party.
That he for whom a nations prayers
are uttered showed purpose to begin
the fulillment of the promise which his
predecessor so ruthlessly broke, awaken
ed fresh expectations, and throughout
the length and breadth of the land all
who cherish memories of the olden time,
when the hearts of Americans beat as
one in devotion to their common coun-
try, INDUCED the hope that here at last
was one who would be the President of a
country, and not of aparty. Embarrassed
on the threshold of his official career, he
persevered, and was fast winning the
respect and support of all good citizens
when the assassin's bullet struck him
down.
Now, and until the edict of life or
death has gone forth from the chamber,
where he wins on his couch Of suffering
the growing admiration Of mankind, the
thoughts of his countrymen will be cen
tired on his struggle. Should the skill
and the devotion lavished in his behalf
prove unavailing, should the grand
courage, which he displays, be shown in
vain and the hopes of his people be
blasted, then, as the spirit of Garfield
scars from earth, will that people feel the
awful significance of his departure.
Since the glad words, che is not dead,
were heralded to his dazed and awe
struck countrymen, all have waited with
bated breath in alternate hope and fear
as the progress of his struggle was re-
corded.
Now hope asserts its sway, and the
voices of men grow stronger, grief gives
place to Joy, and the signs grow brighter
that he will live. His restoration has a
significance, perhaps, even greater than
his fall. For he, whose heart was big
enough to cherish kindly feelings for all
his countrymen, and brave enough to
announce his purposes, must rise from
that couch, on which he has learned to
know his people so well and has shown
himself for what he is, resolved to serve
that people, and as he turned his back
on faction, rise above party and labor
for country.

The Sympathy for Garfield In the
South.

The Boston Herald says editorially:
ga gratifying feature of the expressions
of popular feeling over the assault upon
the Presidents life has been the swift
and manifestly heartfelt sympathy with
General Garfield and his family evoked
at the South. Public meetings quickly
assembled to express the citizens horror
at the crime, and to voice their sorrow
and their hope. Municipal officers tele-
graphed in the name of their cities. and
the Southrrn press speaks with charac-
teristic chivalrY and warmth. OF course
it was not expected that any respectable
opinion at the South would have the
slightest sympathy with assassination as
a political weapon. or have any other
feeling than horror at a murderous blow
struck at Republican President. But
the universally and spontaneity of right
feeling in that section show what pro
gress the spirit of nationalism has made
there 1t is their President who has
been stricken dOwn-their government
that has received a shock. Charleston
speaks through her Mayor with a
promptness and felicity of phrase that
show how deeply buried are all the en-
mites of the war time. The voice of
nature and the spirit Of patriotism again
show the nation to be one. Around the
couch of the suffering President all are
Americans and brethren.
