The state Crop Report for August.

The State Crop Report for August.
The crop report for August, just issued
by Judge Henderson, State Commissioner
OF Agriculture, is a rather cheering dOcu-
ment. He reports the condition of corn
as having improved materially since last
month, and it is now per cent. above the
average, and better than it has been for
three years. The corn crop may be re-
garded as made. An increase of 8 per
cent. in the condition of the crop from
July to August is remarkable. 1t may
be that the estimates Of some of the cor
respondents Of the department in the diff
feTent counties are not made with suf-
icient care.
There also appears to have been an i'm
provement in the condition OF the cotton
crop which passed through its most criti-
cal period during the past forty days. The
estimated condition is 81 per cent, not
withstanding the injury from too much
rain in Southern Georgia has been con-
siderable, and the damage done by cater
pillars IN the same section is estimated as
high as nine per cent. There is reason
TO believe that this is an Overestimate,
but the caterpIlars have a full month to
work in yet, and, doubtless, they will do
much damage in many counties.
The condition of tho rice crop is esti-
mated at SO in this part Of the State, and
the average for the whole State at 90.
This has been fine year for the sweet
potato, which is most highly priced es-
culent IN Georgia. The estimated eondi-
ton is 80. and Judge Henderson might
just as well have added another figure
and made il an even 100. 1t has been
truly said that the sweet potato is half
the living of Georgians, without regard to
race, color, or previous condition. This
has been true for several generations, and
will doubtless be true in the years to
come, although the old standard red ''nig-
ger killer is being rapidly crowded out
/ by more delIcately favored varieties, in
troduced since the war.
Sugar cane is put down at 80. This
/ would be encouraging were il not for the
/ belief that the acreage is considerably
/ smaller than usual, and it is feared that
4 Georgia cane syrup will be scarce and
/ high in price this winter.
The melon crop is estimated at 30 for
tho whole State. The melon season is fast
! drawing to a close and the growers for
market will soon be balancing their books.
1t Is the impression that most OF them
have made some money.
There is no report on the ground-pea
crop. There seems to be a prejudice
against Georgia ground peas in the
markets; in fact, even the excellent
Spanish variety can only be sold when
labeled "NOrth Carolina" or "VirginIa.'
although 1t is far superior to the rank
western varieties, which are 80 largely
dealt In by the enterprlsing sons Of Italy.
The August crop report is doubtless the
most important one of the year, and
granting that the estimates given in it
are approximately correct, the people of
Georgia have much to be thankful for.

Gen. Toombs' remarkable expressions
regarding Gen. Robert f. Lee and ex-
President Davis have revived, TO some ex-
tent, the memory Of the jealousies that ex-
listed during the war among volunteer Off
GERS and West Pointers. Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee was interviewed by a reporter in
Washington the other day, and remarked
that Gen. TOembs had cOntradicted him
self ii saying that "the South could have
succeeded had IL not been throttled by
West Point" and following that state
ment with the assertion that the C0nfed-
eracy could have certainly succeeded
under Albert Sydney Johnston first or Jo-
seph u. Johnston next, both Of whom were
West Point men. Gen. Lee said that the
war developed too many good soldiers on
both sides from West Point 20 admit Of any
disparagement OF that institution, while
there were also a great many splendid
soldiers on both sides who were not
trained ia that school, as for instance,
Gordon, Forrest, and many others. He
added that In his own command were nu-
merous accomplished cavalry Ofiicers who
had never seen the gates OF West Point,
but had learned the military art in the
greatest Of all schOols-which was actual
war.

 Charles F. Hara, "A years of age, who claims
 to come from Hoboken, N. J., came to West
 Haven about six months ago and obtained
 board at the house of Mrs. Gunison, near the
 horse car stables. He joined the church and
 soon became favorite among the West Ha-
 ven people, and being good musician be
 soon found many music scholars. When the
 weekly Budget" started in West Haven, ,Hara
 was hired by the editor, Mir. Shilotto, to can
 vass for subscriptions for the paper. He did
 so for about month, when complaints were
 made that subscribers did not receive
 papers they had paid Hara for, and upon ex animation Mir. Shilotto found that Hara had
 been cheating him and not keeping his &C., counts straight. After this the West Haven people began to think that Hara was fraud. Hara heard that a New Jersey detective was looking for him and on Sunday he disap peared, taking with him a sharpie belonging to Joseph Ferry, of West Haven.

LOWER TAXES CALLED FOR.

Petition From Heavy Taxpay. CTS ITO The Court Of Common Coun- ell.
 The following petition signed by the Win chester Arms company and thirty-six other of the large manufacturing and mercantile firms of the city was presented in the Board of Aldermen last evening. It was referred to the Committee on Retrenchment, Reforms and Abuses:
 To the Honorable Court of Common Council
 of the city of New Haven:
 The undersigned manufacturers in the city of New Haven, Conn.,, respectfully represent to your honorable body:
 That now and for some time past the gen. eral business of the country has been so de- pressed as to render it necessary that all ex- penses pertaining thereto should be reduced to the lowest point.
 That notwithstanding this fact our city, school and town taxes have been increased from fifteen Q5) mills on the grand list of 1877 to nearly twenty (2O) mills on the grand list of last year, which increase is burden some and we believe to be detrimental to the mercantile interests of New Haven.
 We therefore pray that your honorable body will take such measures in their power lay to secure reduction of the pres ent rate of taxation.
