A Damper on Prohibition.

The result of the recent election in
North Carolina, in which the question
OF prohibition was submitted to the
voters Of that State, cannot be consid
cred as very encouraging to the friends
Of temperance in that section. The
majority against prohibition ranges from
between fifty and seyenty-five thousand,
which, in total voting population of
about Ia, 900, is a rather decided express
sion of popular sentiment on the sub
ject. AL party lines we're abandoned.
and for the first time since the war,
perhaps, q question has been found upon
which the great majority of the voters
Of the State have united with tremen-
dous enthusiasm. The Republican ex-
ecutive committee were so much con-
cerned upon the subject that they took
the precaution to call upon the members
Of their party to cast their votes against
prohibition. and from the immense
majority in favor Of license it is apparent
that the Democrats needed no urging to
60 and do likewise.

The Kind Of Immigrants to be In
yited.

The only immigration worth having in
any country, says the Memphis AUd-
ldHebe, is a class Of men who desire to
become the owners Of the soil. 1t is this
class which has built up the West. 1t is
this class which is wanted in the South.
Ii the large landholders expect to secure
immigrants who VIII work their lands as
tenants OF laborers they will never get
them while there is an acre Of land any
where in the United States to be pur.
chased at a reasonable price. 1t is Ike
" that the general belief that the South
has no cheap lands for sale is the chief
cause Of the scarcity Of immigrants.
Cheap lands attract a large immigration
to Texas and Arkansas, and to the ex-
tent that other Southern States can fur
nish facilities foE the purchase Of lands
viii they also share in the benefits Of the
mighty stream Of immigrants now flow
ing to the shores Of America.

CAPITAL for Ireland,

a movement is announced By the
London Morning Post which, if con-
tinued to the point of realization, will
60 far to supplement the Irish land bill
aud make il a success. a number of
English financiers have organized a com
pany with & capital of $50, 600, 900 to re-
calm the waste and bog land in Ireland,
thus benefling the country in two ways
by furnishing the poor with employ
ment, and by paying out large wage
fund This undertaking, along with the
similar one Of the government. dictated
by the provisions Of the land bill, must
produce a very appreciate effect on the
condition of the people. The laborers
engaged in the work of reclamation and
draining having laid by some part Of
their earnings, will be enabled TO buy
cheap land for farms. One effect of this
will be to relieve the overcrowding, from
which some parts OF the country suffer
At all events the expenditure of so large
a sum must tend to relieve somewhat the
embarrassed condition of all classes, and
so infuse into them new hope and energy.

clare that the right to free ballot in the

The Department of Agriculture, under
date of July 90, furnishes the New York
Bulletin with detailed statement Of the
estimated condition of the wheat crop in
all the States and Territories on July 1.
From this table we gather that the gen.
eral average condition Of winter wheat
was SO per cent, and of spring wheat 80
per cent. Assuming the relative pro-
portions OF winter wheat to be 90 per
cent of the total crop and of spring
wheat 40 per cent, the Bulletin, taking
the crop of 1880 as the basis for IFS cal
culations, shows what the probable crop
of 1881 will be according to the follow
ing analysis:
Bushels.

This would make the deficiency of the
crop Of 1881, as compared with hat of
1880, about one-sixth. But as Il ere was
an increase in the acreage OF 1881 of
about two per cent, the additional yield
from this cause, in round numbers,
would be about ten millions Of bushels,
and would thus bring up the total crop
Of 1881 to 422, 526, 400 bushels. which
would leave the actual shortage IS. 000.
