Mr.. A. Durham, who spent a portion
Of the present week here gives us the
following information in regard to the
crops of the northern Hills.
He left Deadwood on the 2Ist ult. and
FIRST visited the Spearfish and Belle
Fourche valleys. Wheat at those points
will not average over Is bushels to the
acre, oats will be "A little better crop.
In Redwater valley the yield will be
about rs bushels per acre. Whitewood
will give Is to 20, and Elk Creek and
Box Elder from % to %.
The potatOe and onion yield 1T these
places will be light, as also the hay crop.

Spring creek and in the vicinity Of Pill
City are waist high on the sod and will
60 from 40 to 80 bushels to the acre.
From D. N. Ely We learn that the

Fenor's probabilities for the present
month are as follows: august, in
striking contrast to the same month in
1880, looks decidedly moist and will
probably resemble that Of 1877 in Cana
da and the United States. The month
will enter warm, but cooler, and rather
unreasonable weather may occur on the
4th and 9Th, after which sultry and
stormy weather will again set in,
Thunder and lightning and hail storms
are likely to cause considerable damage
we wide spread areas both in Canada
and the United States, especially in
western sections and the month again
promises to resemble that Of the year

JOHN s.. WISE AT ALEXANDRIA,
OF John s. Wiss's recent speech at Ale
the Gazette says:
'sThe ''turn out' last night to hear
Mr.. John 8. Wise, the forcible read
ulster, a. he termed himself, was unex-
pectedly small and very much mixed,
while the speech was disappointment
to friend and foe indeed, it was 20 far
below anticipation, was 30 loose and
Pedagogical and 20 lacking In original
ity of thought or expression, and 90 de-
void of that genuine wit and searching
sarcasm with which Mr.. w. has been
credited, that those Of his audience
whose good opinion he would have
heretofore valued, were rather aston
ished and disguised. The same old ar
gum ents and figures used by the Ma
hon cites since they first made the debt
an issue were revamped, interpreted
with few oft told anecdotes; the Rid
dleberger bill, drawn by the speaker. "a
he stated, was extolled a. the panacea
to heal all the trouble; the negro was
exalted and the White Bourbons de-
rided; Major Daniel was decried and
Mr.. Lewis extolled % paragon Of vir-
tue, and Virginians called upon to turn
their backs upon their ancestors and
their traditions to make an alliance
with Republicans to secure the patron
age of the administration. General
Mahone's course was approved by the
speaker, and his hearers called upon tt
desert their Democratic principles and
follow the new liberal" leader. Mr..
w Use was not sanguine of success al
the approaching election, however. but
was determined to die with his face t.
the foe." The speech was q failure, AND
did the cause the speaker advocated
HARM"
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1881-09-13

Though a vast majority of the Repub.
lican newspapers either willfully shut
their eyes to the evils of Mahoneism or
Intentionally misrepresent those evils,
that all do not is evident from the fol-
lowing excerpt from the Sunday Chron-
icle of Washington, which says:
"Take all the blunders of 'carpetbag
rule in the South-all the mistakes OF
reconstruction added to whatever other
follies were committed in that section in
the name of the Republican party-and
they are nothing to compare to the sui
cidal experiment Republican leaders
are trying in Virginia with Malone.
There never was such blind infatuation
practiced by any well organized politi-
cal party, and unless we are much mis-
taken it will cause more trouble in the
future than any mistake the party ever
made"
The editor of the Chronicle has beon
true and consistent member Of the
Republican party ever since he Joined
it. The editor of the Washington Re
publican, however, who is supporter
of the Malone coalition, is known in
the State from which he halls, Califor-
mia. as party bolter.

DANIEL, THE FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.]
september 9th, 1881.
I notice that pone of the accounts Civ
en- in your paper OF in others of the dis
custom here last Monday between Ma.
jor Daniel and Colonel Cameron men.
ton portion of the speech OF Major
Daniel which told upon his audience
with more powerful effect probably than
any other part of his effort, since it
showed in the clearest and most con-
vincing way that he AadsalWaFa been .
steady and consistent friend and pro-
tector of the people and the laboring
man. Major Daniel went on to say that
he had never been member of any ring,
and had never been insulted by having
been asked to join one that during his
public life as legislator he had always
striven ip ala feeble way to watch and
guard the interests of the people and to
promote and care for The welfare of the
laboring man, and that he thanked God
that there were evidences upon the stat
ute book of Virginia that be had in =
measure suoceededj that there were
three statutes there which had been com.
poaed by his head and drawn by his
hand. The first was statute giving to
the laboring man preferred lien upon
work, stock, and equipments of rail-
roads, &c, for work dppe, THUS SECURING
to him his hard gotten earnings, 20 that
they might not be wrenched from him,
as Malone had once done; second, .
statute giving to the wives and daugh
tiers of those who had been killed in
railroad accidents the right to sue the
corporation for damages, SO that, having
lost their protector end support. they
might at least be beyond the reach Of
the pinching frosts OF need and want +;
third, q statute making the properties Of
railroad and canal companies liable to
taxation, thus greatly Tightening the
burdens upon the people. Major Dam
lei did this portion of his truly eloquent
speech up In splendid style and with
the most telling effect upon the crowd.
"By their fruits ye shall know Them"
Your correspondent writes because he
thinks this due Major Daniel and that
the public should be acquainted with
the facts. r,
