Dry ana Hot weather.

A dispatch from Cincinnati says the
continuous dry weather has for the sec
ond time this summer threaten ed great
injury to the corn crop, as well as tobac-
CO, pasture and vegetables. There has
been no rain in Southern Ohio aud In
diana for nearly three weeks.
Advices from Plymouth, New Hamp-
sb.ro, say the present is the dryest sea-
son since 1870. The wells are rapidly
giving out. The streams are very low,
many OF the smaller ones being entirely
dry. No rain has fallen to any extent
since May. In addition to the dry
weather, grasshoppers are destroying
what does grow.
The heat caused general suspension
of outdoor business In Dover, New
Hampshire, on Monday. The mercury
reached 100 degrees at IL o'clock. seve
raj people were Frustrated by the beat.
A despatch from Bellows Falls, Yer
mont, says Monday was the hottest OF

The Co,ored voters.

Fred Douglass heipg asked "What
reason can yon give why the negro, as
a negro, should vote for Blaine?" said:
because Blaine represents the Re-
publican party, and that party Is to
colored men the party of freedom, edu-
cation, equality before the law and
protection in the exercise oftheir polt1t-
cal rights. On the other nand, the Demo-
critic arty, by its antec edents and
by ita dependence on the solid
South-made solid by violence and
intimidation-gives co.ored men no
assurance of protection in their exer-
else Of such rights. / am not one OF
those who regarl the Southern ques-
tion rs settled. Until the Constitution
in all itsprovisions shall DO respected
in the South as in the North the ques-
ton will not be settled.
"Until the negro's pathway to the bal
| lot box shall be as straight, smooth and
safe as it is with the more ancient free
man the question will not be settled. I
agree rather with the letter OF Mr. Lo-
gan than that of Mr.. Blaine on the
Southern problem. The one assumes .
condition of things altogether too favor
able to the old regime in the South. Fer
my own part desire 10 see the parties 30
related to the rights and interests of the
colored race as to divide their suffrages,
and have no doubt that the time will
come when the positions OF the parties
will be such as will fully justify such
division. Then the negroes will be in
nuenced in their actions by questions
| wholly apart from themselves as q race
and will vote simply as oitizens having
an equal interest in the welfare, pro
gress and glory ofthe common coun'
Il try.
