The colored Bishops and other repre-
sentatives of the African Methodist Churches

ciple of social equality of the white and COL

The Agricultural Departments
monthly crop report shows decrease for
August in cotton of 16 per cent, in corn Of
II per cent, and in tobacco of 20 per cent,
as compared with the returns for July. The
universal falling off in these crops is due al.
most altogether to the drouth, from which
no section Of the country has been altogether
exempt. The chinch-bug has had somewhat
to do with the short corn crop in Illinois,
Missouri and Kansas.

THE adjournment of the Grand jury
of the District Of Columbia without taking
cognizance of number of important cases
that it was expected would be brought be-
fore them, notably the Star-route cases,
has excited much comment. 1t is now
stated, upon apparently good authority, that
Attorney General MacVeagh approves of
the adjournment of the Grand Jury, as he
wishes to delay the presentation Of the Star
route cases until after the retirement of Mr.
Corkhill from the office of District Attorney.
The transfer Of Mr.. Corkhill to consulship
had been determined upon before the Pres
ident was stricken down, and would have
been carried out but for his inability to act
in the matter.
A DISPATCH from Fort Thomas, Ari-
iona, 18th, says: A determined and COM
bined movement commences to morrow on
fI,n Ann Cor,,
his command from Apache toward Cibicu;
Price is ordered to advance from the west
through Tonic Basin to the same objective
point; Sanford, with his command proceeds
up the San Carlos River, opening commune
cations with Price on the left, and Mcclellan,
with two companies of cavalry, on the right.
The movement will result in concentration of
different commands around Cibicu, the Lake
and White River country, where the hos
tiles are believed to be in force. News may
be expected from that part of the country
soon. The hostiles are intrenched in one of
the most inaccessible portions of Arizona,
surrounded by deep ravines, high mountains
and box canyons, which make the fortifca-
tions for the savages very secure.
The National Land League Conven-
ton met at Dublin on the 18th. about one
thousand delegates being present, including
twenty lone members Of Parliament. Par.
nell occupied the chair. He said the Land
act left the rent question as a continual
source of discomfort and strife between diff
ferent classes in Ireland. He had no doubt
this was designedly so arranged by the
British Government. He warned farmers
not to trust to the Land act. It was, he
said, designed to break the League. No
body should appeal to Land Courts until
test cases to be prepare by the League had
been submitted. They should press for
ward to the abolition of landlordism and
to Legislative independence. He ad-
vised farmers to borrow money under
the Land act SO as to give work to
laborers, and invited she latter to join
branches Of the League. He pledged himself
to head laborers' movement if the farmers
did not. Parnell in his speech reasserted
that fair rent would be the value of the land
in a state OF nature, before it was improved
by a tenant or any of his predecessors. In
