According to the talks with merchants. and
business men reported elsewhere, the strike in
the Southwest has not thus far produced any
serious effect upon business in the East. The

The Republicans of Rhode Island have re-
nominated the present State officers and will
probably elect them. A bitter personal con-
troversy has ragged about Attorney General
Colt, but the fact that he was renominated by
the convention after so sharpa fight indicates
that he is the choice of majority of the Re-
publicans in the State-the delegates having
been elected, apparently, as Colt and antioch.
The whole ticket, therefore, should be sup
ported by the whole party. Nothing will be
gained by electing the candidate favored by

The serious illness of the Secretary of the
Treasury will cause much regret not only at
the Capital but in this, his native State, where
he has many friends both in prya and public
life. 1t is said that Mr.. Manning's condition is
the result of overwOrk and, moreover, that the
health of the President and all tie Cabinet
officers is suffering from the same cause. This
is unfortunate and unnecessary. The Nation
does not wish its officers to be worked to death.
They ought to be able to fulfil all their duties
conscientiously and yet eat and sleep, and take
exercise and amusement enough to insure their
living to a good old age.

Governor NGcEnery.

There are some sore-head editors in
Louisiana who have lost all sense of
Justice and respect for truth in their
insane war upon Governor McEnerJ !.
1t makes citizen of the State blush
with shame to hear the wild aud vi
cious and indiseriminate howlings. put
forth by some of the journals of Louisi-
ann against the Governor whom the
people fairly and deliberately chose TO
rule their State. The Picaynne has
waged merciless war on McEnery for
forty months. He has never done any
thing which that malicious paper ap-
proves. Following the Picayune a
dozen or more of lesser howlers have
dogged and abused and maligned the
Governor of Louisiana as if he were a
tyrant possessed of unrestricted au
thority and exercising the will of a
very despot. In a recent issue of the
Iberville Democrat, a good journal
when ability is considered, we find this
remarkable Inference concerning Mc-
Emery: "Heaven knows the burden OF
his sins is greater than he can bear" Oh
course the Democrat refers to the Gov
ern0r'S 0fnclai s1nS Wnen were tneS
committed Point out single acI
that has not been for what he consid
cred to the interest of the people o
Louisiana. Let his traducers show hi:
sins, point them out to the people o.
else let them hide their malignant pen'
from the gaze and glare of people
who fail to see any just cause for thi
continuous war on their Governor.

At present there Is too much rain in
this section of the Bmuf country. Very
heavy rains fell yesterday, sufficient to
put stop to all farm work for some
days at least; but at the same time we
are able to report that the crops of
cane, corn and cotton are all growing
very fast. Corn is silking; cotton is
beginning to bloom; peas sown before
the wet weather set in are up nice.
Dry days are needed just at present to
SOW COW peas and give the corn the
last working. The oat crop throughout
the country so far as I can learn has
been harvested in good condition.
This years crop of oats is fully large
for the country, more SO than usual, we
believe. There is some little improve
ments going on here and IN the neigh
borhood. Mr.. VIM. Lauther, the agent
for these large plantations-tlie Bar
breek, st. Peters and Anchorage has
let tile contract for d large hay barn tc
be built on the st. Peters plantation
This gentleman will add q new ant
improved press to his gin this year
ready for the cotton season.
What about the State Sunday Law
Won't it be a blessing Yes indeed
Will this Legislature pass a genera
State Stock Law We have hear'
some of our best and largest planter
speak il very favorable terms of such
law being beneficial to the farming in
terest.

To the Editor of the Times Democrat
The dispatch in your issue of to-day
from Washingto.', announcing the de-
parture-of a committee for Baton Rouge
in the interest of the removal of the
courthouse to that town is gross ex-
aggeration The claim that the com
mittee represents 5000 voters is prepos-
ferrous; 5000 is the maximum vote for
this entire parish. The Washington
committee does not represent 1000 vot-
ers, while Hon. E. T. Lewis, has pre-
sented to the Senate protest against
the enabling act, signed by over 5000
voters, residents Of the country districts
not one of these living in Opelousas
The scheme for the removal of the court
housn is opposed by every member ot
the st. Landry bar except M. d. kava'
nagh. resident of Washington, and is
simply scheme to swell the corporate
importance of that town. Let the com
mittee from Washington show their ere
dentials from the voters of this parish
outside of their own town and the small
district Immediately contiguous to it,

WEATHER AND FARM. No mole cry
OF dry weather now. Really since last
Saturday, it has done nothing but rain,
rain, rain, and the whole face of the
country IL covered with water. On last
Sunday morning clouds began to loom
up from the Southeast, and about 10
O'Clock the rain began to fall, continu-
ing, with but slight intermission, all
day Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
dntll noon. 1t was a small deluge SO
to speak, snspending all farm work for
the week, and doubtless for several
days to come. The tardy .and lazy
farmers now realize the dangers of de-
lay and lost time by witnessing the
rapid spread Of grass and weeds in half
worked or neglected crops, while the
energetic ones congratulate themselves
upon the clean appearance of their
lands, made ready by prompt and judi
cious labor for just such weather as has
visited US in the past week We are
unable to say what damage will be sus-
tanned by the continued and excessive
rains in the growth of the crops, but
there will certainly be some from the
partial inundation of the crops, where
the drainage was imperfect, aud in low
lands The greater part of the oats
left in the fields to ripen for seed, and
which had matured in the last few days,
will be more or less damaged by The
rain and winds blowing them down,
and in many cases will be entirely
ruined Rice planters, however, can
no longer complain OF a scarcity of wa
ter, and where their levees and dams
Were properly constructed they have
caught water enough to last their crops
throughout the growing season.

A few weeks ago Congress passed a
bill authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to restore to their rightful
owners certain property captured dur
ing the war and now on deposit in the
vaults of the treasury. This property
consists of watches, jewelry, silver plate
and other valuables that were sent to
the War Department from time to time,
much of it having been captured in
Georgia and South Carolina during
Sherman's march to the sea. Other ar.
ticles were taken from the bodies Of
dead soldiers on the battlefield, or from
the wounded who died in hospitals.
Acting Secretary Fairehild has written
an order prescribing rules for the guild
ance of claimants, who are requested to
furnish description of the articles
claimed and affidavits to show their
ownership at the time of capture and
the circumstances under which they
were captured. Upon the receipt OF
these affidavits the Secretary will adver-
tise for two weeks, at the cost OF the
claimants, in the newspapers nearest
their residences, a notice setting forth
the nature of the claim, and calling fol
information from the public concerning
it. AT the end of a year all articles re.
naming unclaimed viii be advertised
and then sold at auction for the benefi
Of the government.
