The Mobile Register, sterling Democratic
journal and excellent newspaper, invites the
especial attention of lis readers to this table,
and very sensibIy insists that it largely rests
with the people of the South to say whether,
BY apathy or indifference, they will permit
men TO be elected 10 the next Congress who
will affiliate with the Republican party and
continue the progress of the government in
the path of oppressive taxation. Every cam
didate who opposes the regular nominee of
the Democratic party may be sci down as an
active ally of the enemy. Malone and Rid
dleberger will vote as Arthur directs or as
the Republican party suggest. Lowe, if re-
elected, will be found voting for any Repub-
lican measure. Chalmers would be found in
the same camp. Not one of them could call
his soul his own, and all OF them would act
in open hostility to the interests of the PEG.
pie they have 30 shamelessly betrayed. Let
US see TO it that no act of the Sou hern people
encourages such profigacy as we have wit
messed in the present Congress.

ST. LOUIS, August S1.-Reporls of crops
in Texas. furnished by high authority, are
that corn is late, and will yield from thirty
to forty-fve bushels per acre. The cotton
prospect is very good, but twenty five days
tate. The first crop is matured. The bolls
are very irregular. Some stalks are bending
with their weight OF bolls while others have
scarcely any on them. The top crop is now
fruiting and forming finely. The rains have
ceased and the thermometer is up in the
nineties, and with dry September and Oc-
tober the promise is above an average yield.
Owing to the lateness of the crop picking
has not commenced generally yet, and should
no disaster happen the present force would
hardly be able to gather the crop in time
unless the picking season should be unusu-
ally fine

The sales Of meal, corn and oats during
the year which ended yesterday, have more
than justified the belief that Memphis is
the natural distributing point for wide
extent OF country, and that with the mag
nidcent elevator it viii prove an easy mat
ter to build up grain trade that may rival
that of st. Louis or New Orleans Those
who are in the trade are doing well. They
will do still better next year, and we con-
idently predict will make returns of sales
OF several millions of bushels. Memphis
has taken her place among the grain mar.
kets of the country.

sixteen per cent. of the total crop, an
