THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STAPLES.
The Agricultural Departments Reports ON
Cotton, Wheat and Corn.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-!The September re-
port of the condition of the cotton crop. compiled
by the Department of Agriculture. shows gen.
eral falling off in condition. and an average de-
crease in probable yield in the entire cotton-rais
ing district of 81 per cent, as compared with the
August estimate. The apparent average is now
81 per cent. as compared with 81 one year ago.
The condition of spring wheat has been inn
paired since the first of August, in the Northwest,
the district of principal prod uction.
Heavy rains were followed by extreme heat
between the first and the middle

ling the grain and causing rust.
Heavy wind storms Frustrated and injured large
areas. In Nebraska there is some complaint of

done some damage in Wisconsin and Minnesota

average is 65S against 65 in July. Except as
the result of the spring may change, present ex-
pecration for the winter wheat yield may be
placed at 2l7. 000, 900 bushels aud the remaining
yield at about 1874 100000 If injuries reported
in the stack should prove to be greater than at
present apparent few millions of reduction
might still accrue. The condition of corn still
continues high, ranging from 80 to 100 in State
averages. The general average is 50, against SO
in August 1t was 81 last year in September.
Frosts have wrought very little injury, and will
be capable of little if deferred ten days. The
prospect is still favorable for q crop slightly
above the average.

at figures below those. Judge Thoraan's
friends explain his connection with the
orders or bonds by saying he traded block
of stock in the Lawson Non,explosive Boiler

connection with Davis in the matter of these
orders and it is not known that he had any

MEXICAN AFFAIRS
A Revolution Thought To Be Impending in

ST. LOUIS, Aug 10.-The Globe-Demoerat has
advices from several towns in Northern Mexico,
stating that there is a much-disturbed condition
Of political affairs in that section. This
is particularly the case in the State of
Coahuila, where an election is to be
held next month Falcen is the gubernatorial can

the Deaz administration. while Maria Colon is
backed by federal patronage, and represents the
present administration.
The rival factions, headed by their respective
leaders, said to have formed regular camps
and are recruiting soldiers as fast as they can
secure them. They well armed and said to
have plenty of money and provisions. The situa-

THE PENSION AGENCY.
An Opinion Prevails That General Manson
Can Get 1t If He Will.


Can Get 1t If He Will.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN, Sept. 10-President Cleveland's
return has renewed the talk among Hoosiers here
about who will likely get such federal positions
as have to be disposed of IN Indiana
Much has been said during the past forty
eight hours about the pension agency. General
Kneffier's successor, it is said, will be deter
mined upon very soon For while the name of
Mayor Zollinger. of Fort Wayne, was spoken of
a great deal, but it seems to have dropped out,
for the present. at least crowd of Indiana
Democrats were discussing the subject this
morning, when one of the best informed re-
marked that he believed General Manson would
get the place.
II do not know that General Manson has in
dicated that he would like to be pension agent"
said the gentleman but have heard a good
many Democrats in and out of the State say he
ought to have it; and may add that they were
men who will have most to say in determining
vino the agent shall be General Manson, it is
argued, deserves the place account OF his
eminent record as soldier in two wars; then he
is Democrat of decided State reputation,
while Mayor Zollinger is only Mayor Zollineer,
of Fort Wayne. If General Manson wants the
place he will get it, and believe he wants it,"
Those who heard the remark seemed to in
dorse it.

Richmond Special.
As the days pass the desperation of the Bour.
bons increases, and the exhortations of their
newspapers become louder more than ever
There are few intelligent Democrats in the State
who will not admit, privately that, with a full
vote and fair returns, the prospects of Demo
cratic victory would te doubtful, and yet they
publicly estimate their majority this year at 30
600. They make no effort to reconcile these
estimates, and, despite the claim of 10000 ma.
iority, they are frantic in their appeals to the
faithful to rally and save the grand old Com
monwealth from Malone" Their hope OF sue
cess is based solely upon premeditated fraud,
intimidation, and resort to violent means,
if that shall seem necessary.
The Dispatch of to-day contains letter from a
correspondent in New Kent county, who writes:
''The negroes have considerable majority, as
they have also in the county on the opposite side
of the Pamunkey king William) but the whites
being nearly solid for Democracy, are organizing
and are determined to make desperate struggle
to overcome the majority against them 1t is
believed that the negroes will be divided instead
of being solid against US, as heretofore. We
feel that we must carry the State by large ma
jority and gain the Legislative districts too"
There is not colored voter in that county
who is a Democrat, and at the last election it
gave Blaine and Logan about fifty white votes
There are about 400 white voters and 650 colored
voters In the county, and 1T gave Blaine and
Logan GoI majority. LII ming Vllllam county
there about 700 white voters and l. 100 colored
voters. There are no colored voters who are
Democrats, and the colored majority is 400
Blaine and Logan carried the county by a
majority of $50 votes.
General Walker. one of the most influential
Bourbon leaders in Virginia, who was prom-
nent candidate for the nomination for Governor
before the State convention has said You are
mistaken in thinking that Wise will receive
large colored VOTE Where the negroes are set
tied in large compact communities they
will go to the polls and vote as
usual. but in the country districts, where
they scattered on the farms and
plahtations-two or three, or half dozen fami-
lies IN place-and have white employers they
will not take much interest in politics this year
They will find it better 30 stay at home and at
tend to their work"
The Bourhons have another instrument at
their command upon which they depend for
great results. 1t is the infamous election law
enacted by the last Legislature, which places
all the machinery of registration and election
absolutely under the control of Bourbons in the
heaviest Republican counties as well as in those
which are Democratic The Bourbon registrar
may doctor the registration lists to any ex-
tent and the Republican voters who are thus
disfranchised will be powerless.
