The democratic members of the Virginia
Congressional delegation yesterday prepared

would be unavailing, and that Mr..
Goode had had a long interview with the
President upon the subject, the result
of which was satisfactory to the former,
thew did not present the petition, but met
this morniug, and, after consultation, deter
mined to request the President to nominate
Congressman Tucker of their State for the
Mace. 1t is understood that when the
friends OF ex-senator Johnston, also OF vir-
cinia, saw that it was usees, to attempt 10

oet the democratic members of the Virginia
Congressional delegation to endorse an ap-
plicstior for his appointment to the position,
but that the delegation thought they had
better recommend Mr.. Tucker.
The House to day determined to devote
tomorrow and Saturday to the considera'
tion of the bill for the new navy. After

Crops in Iowa.

BURLINGTON, Iowa, July 2l.-The Hack
eye publishes, to day, special dispatches from
numerous points in southern and eastern
Iowa, regarding the drought and crops.
With the exception of few light local
showers, there has been no rain for six
weeks. Wheat and oa:s are nearly harvest
cd. The quality is good, but the yield will
be only about one half. Corn is generally
in good condition but everywhere needs
rain very soon to save the crops. 10 many
fields it is LasselIing and rain will not bring
it up to the average yield. Hay is very
light. The pastures are parched and nearly
all the small streams are dried up. This
week IS regarded as critical period for the
Iowa corn crop.

THE EXPENSE of the damages, the costs
aud the lawyers fees to which the State was
put by the recent Dulany coupon case
when supplemented by that of the Fifty odd
other similar cases which the counsel OF the
bondholders says he has Instituted, and
which will be tried at the next term OF the
u. S. Court in Richmond, will amount to
sum which the property owners of Virginia.
who are taxed to pay it, could i'll afford TO
raise for any proper or even reasonable OBJ
iect. but the exaction of which for no other
purpose than that of resisting the mandate
of the highest court in the land is an out
rage which they should not tolerate. II the
State officers and their sureties had to bear
all the necessary and unavoidable loss of such
suits, as that loss Is the result of their own
deliberate action, no body but themselves
would care, except for the disgrace they
bring upon Virginia and the injury they
inflict upon her credit, but as the burden is
put upon every tax payer in the State it is
CRYING shame which should be submitted to
