Harvest in England.

LONDON, Aug. 18.-Mr. James Card, the
the eminent agricultural authority, writes to
the Times as follows: But for the late rains
and diminished temperature the harvest would
haYe proved equal to nearly the average of
years preceding 1874 but mildew has appeared
and will affect the quality Of the yield of the
later crops. On two-thirds of the wheat land
an average crop will be made up by fineness
ofquality. On the remaining third. even with
that aid, it will be 10 per cent. below the old
average. Heavy crops are rare. Most of them
are thin but we'll headed, and there is too
common evidence shown throughout the
country Of the diminished capital Of farmers
by the lower scale of farming We begin the
harvest year very bare of old stock wheat In
the country Our annual requirements are
from "a 900 900 to 25,000OO0 quarters. When
the last harvest year is completed we shall
have imported over 100000 quarters. Our
own o0n crop this year will probably yield $780,
600 quarters, so that if we can reckon on q
foreign supply equal to that of 1880, and at
not much oyer the same price, we shall be
safe. There is said to be an abundant harvest
in Russia. In France the wheat crop is be-
lieved to be scanty. Our barley is the best
corn crop of the year but it has not rlpened
equally. Oats are extremely deficient, espe-
cially in the Southern counties. Hay is so
per cent. deficient, but was generally got in
line condition. Mnagolds and green crops are
rapidly improving and promise tolerable
crop One of the best features of the season
has been fine weather for cleansing the ground
in the Spring and early Summer, enabling
farmers to rid much of their land of the accu-
mulated weeds of previous wet years, but they
have been heavily hit by bad seasons and
losses of stock and sheep. The stock in Great
Britain during the last two years has been d.
minished by more than 10 per cent, there be-
ing decline of 100000 sheep and 100000
lambs since 1879"

can change the character Of the bulk Of the
debt, or abridge or jeopardize the rights
OF the creditors. The courts will defend
and preserve the dignity and validity Of
their own decisions, which are beyond the
reach Of the arts of the demagogue, or the
devices of legislative enactment. In the
contest as to which Of the repudiating poll
cies of the Democratic faction shall succeed,
the Republicans, may, out of the necessi-
ties Of each or both, evolve some good to
themselves and the State, and eventually
force fair and honorable consideration
Of the claims and rights of the creditors.
We must contend for all that is practicable
before us and employ our numbers and en-
ergies to securing all the benefits possible.
To this end we must unite upon the Leg
islature, and demand the support for Re-
publican candidates as the essential consid-
Grafton we have to present in the present
complications. We may then be able to de-
termine the entire policy Of the State, Ex-
ecutive and Legislative, and secure for the

The insincerity of Virginia straightont
Republicanism as regards its debt-paying
professions is plainly exhibited by the
course of its two organs, the valley Virgin-
ran and the Debt Payer, neither of which
advises the few members of their party,
though they have no ticket of their own in
the field, to support the men who are doing
all they can to preserve the State from the
foul dishonor of reputation Afer. Ga
zette.
We can see very little difference in the
platforms of the two wings of the Demo-
cratic party. Maj. Daniel himself. ac-
knowledges that there is no difference be-
tween him and Col. Cameron in regard to
the amount of revenue to be raised. The
Re-adiusters assume that the debt is $780,
600, 900 and that they will agree to pay 3
per cent. on that amount. The Bourbons
state that the debt is about S32, 900. 900 and
that they will eldeavor to get the consent
of the creditors to three per cent. interest
bon l. This is not positive. Should the
creditors fail to accept this suggestion, then
comes in the bar to further proceedings on
the part of this wing of the party-that they
pledge themselves not to increase the rate
of taxation Where IS the debt paying in
this? We had something of the kind in
1877, when the platform of that year was
adopted. The revenues are not sufficient
to meet the claims against the State as they
now stand, under the reduced assessments,
and consequently there would follow either
nractical renudiatjon or what is 40 had
the accumulation of interest, by which the
debt would be increased.
The Conservative party is responsible for
all this confusion and uncertainty about
the debt of Virginia, and for it to put up
claim of honesty or express sincere desire
to pay the debt. is flying in the face of it's
own record. Had the Democratic Legisla-
ture dealt fairly with the Republicans and
not insidiously restricted the ballot, and
were it disposed to play fair in the future,
there would not be much Difficulty in reach
ing conclusion in State matters. So long
as they persist in their support of unjust
constitutional and statutory provisions, de-
| signed to disfranchise Republicans, they
need not expect mach sympathy from them
in their day of trial Had they the cour
age to do right for rights sake, and practi-
cally manifest a just spirit, that which they
! now need they might secure. But so long
as inteuse partizanism is reflected in the
laws, and they show no disposition to repeal
them they invite hostility they can lily
afford to invoke just now

The scarcity Of water in Richmond has
caused serious alarm. The sewers are filthy
and the stencil arising from q them is considered
threatening to health. The water from the
canal has been ordered to be turned into the
river at the pump house. The Fredegar Iron
Works and the Gailego Mills, which depend
upon the canal for their water supply, object
to this, and steps will be taken to save the
mills and works from suspension.
