Reports from the South which viii be found
elsewhere in this impression show that the gen
era condition of the crops there IL most en-
couraging. In nearly all the States the average
Of cotton is greater than last year, and the
yield will be greatly increased. Corn also
promises well. In word the south IS pros
pering.
After three years, marked by great achieve
ments and much suffering, Lieutenant Greedy
md his five fellow survivors of the Lady
Franklin Bay expedition landed on Amcri-
can soil again yesterday. Their reception
at Portsmouth, n. H., was brilliant and
hearty. but the rejoicing at their safe return is
not confined to the narrow limits of one town.

allowed by sorrow for Grccly's brave cOmpan-
ions who have been brought home dead.

franchise between this city and their shores.
They may properly hope that the present con-

According to reports received at Republican
headquarters, Governor Cleveland has not only
succeeded in offending the wOrkingmcn of his
State but has also provoked the soldiers. One
of the callers ut the State Committee rooms
points ont that among the bills vetoed by Mr..
Cleveland since he has been at Albany were
several the objects of which were dear to vet
Grams, and in way in conflict with the
interests Of the State. But the Governor had
no consideration for them.
infections of tho death penalty in Brooklyn,
heretofore. have been MANAGED pretty WELL
but the terrible scene which occurred ycster-
day when the murderer jefferson was hanged
Offsets many well-cOnductcd executions. The
assistant hangman gets the blame of this bungl-
Ing but afterall, the style of hanging en-
ploycd, which Jerks the criminal into the air, Is
probably most AT fault. II is snd that the spectat
Ors at this CHASTITY performance yesterday were
terribly shocked. They deserved all the shock
