WASHINGTON. July 9.-That GA
prophet hath not honor In his own coun-
trY'' was in a degree verified yesterday by
the receipt here of two packages from
England, by Sergt. David l.. Brainard, of
the disastrous Lady Franklin Bay expe-

Capt. Greely ascribes in a large degree
the salvation OF even the few of the party
who were rescued by Commodore Schley.
The Royal Geographical Society Of
Great Britain, which stands at the head
OF the list of societies devoted to
terrestrial exploration, annually awards
a grand gold medal to the man who, in
the opinion of the distinguished mem bers
of the council Of the society, has attained
the greatest results in adding to geo
graphical knowledge by examinations or
explorations. The next grand prize,
which il only awarded when unusual re-
suits have been reached, is the Back pre-
mum. This was founded by handsome
bequest by Admiral Sir George Back, Il.
n, who was himself distinguished and
daring explorer, and was the officer who
first mapped the northern coast line of
North America during his search for Sir
John Franklin.
This year these two grand prizes have

SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS.
The Cotton Badly Damaged by the
Heavy Rains.

The Cotton Badly Damaged by the
Heavy Rains.
A special from Columbia, 8. c., says
that the Department of Agriculture has
received reports from 1870 correspondents
throughout the State as to the condition
OF the crops on July 1. The reports show
that in the last month the rain has been
almost Unprecedented, producing a YigOr-
Gus growth OF grass, aud the continuous
downpour OF water has prevented the
crops from being worked. A large part
of the cotton planted in bottom lands has
been washed away by the floods. Rust,
shedding and lice have attacked the COT
ton in some regions and in others the in
cessant rain has turned it yellow
and it is dying. The condition
OF the cotton in upper Carolina,
with 100 as au average, is reported at
73. in N iddie Carolina at rs, and lower
Carolina at 50. making an average for the
State OF rs, against 50 for the same time
last year. This is lower than any report
made by the National Department OF Az
riculture on the condition of this crop at
the same season in the last seventeen
years. Three-i0urths OF the corn In bot
tom lands has been destroyed and it has
been badly damaged in the highlands. In
upper Carolina it is reported at II, in
middle Carolina at 50, and the lower at
81, making a State average of 81. The
damage to the rice cannot be estimated by
the correspondents, but they report that
the crop cannot be averaged either in
quantity or quality. Some farmers IN the
State are ruined and are calling for aid.

CATCHING AT STRAWS.

The strait to which the morning Re-
publican organ is reduced in its warfare
upon John HALEY is illustrated by the
publication to-day of Il couple Oi letters
written fourteen years ago by d. L. Kim
ball, then President of the Bear River
Stake, relative to the candidacies of Hal
ley and Huston, the Democratic and Re-
publican nominees for Delegate to Con-
gress at that time; also one from q friend
OF Huston, written after the election,
giving the reasons why he (Huston) did
not receive the greater portion of the
Mormon vote, as he had expected.
The entire subject matter of the three
letters, boiled down, establishes the fact
that Huston was the choice of the Nor
mon masses in Idaho; that he was re-
garded by them as their friend, while
HALEY was looked upon in an entirely
different light. Huston, however, being
upon the Grant ticket, and the leaders OF
the Mormon Church being favorable to
Greeley for President, concluded that they
could not afford to strengthen the coming
Administration OF Grant by the election
OF Republican Delegate, so they reluct-
antly issued their orders for the Mormon
vote to be cast for HALEY. 1t appears,
however, that some OF the laymen were
disposed to disregard the orders Of the
Church and vote for their friend Huston
anyhow, and chat HALEY was obliged to
pay them money to bring them into line.
There is not particle of evidence to
show that HALEY made any promises, or
in any manner compromised himself
upon the Mormon question to secure the
vote, and the fact that he had to resort
to the sack method to insure their sup
port is conclusive proof OF the reluctance
with which it was given. The letters
only show that the Republican nominee
was the favorite with the Mormon leaders
and their followers; that they had rea-
son to expect favors at his hands il
elected, but that the National political
situation at that time necessitated his
sacrifice and the election of man ex.
tremely distasteful to them. That is the
sum and substance of the contents of a
column of matter, attempting to prove
that John HALEY fourteen years ago was
a party to a political covenant with the
Mormon Church. The attempt is more
than failure, for it clearly establishes
the contrary fact. 1t is nearly as foolish
as some Of the charges relative to the
present position OF the same gentleman
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1886-10-01

THE converting of the Carson, Ne
vada Mint into an U. S. Assay Office,
was not done, as some OF the Republican
papers claim, for political purposes, or to
aid the Democratic candidates in that
State in the present campaign. 1t might
have had that effect, to certain extent,
had the order been made at an earlier
date. 1t is now too late to effect the
election in any manner. Neither is it
likely that the order will be rescinded.
Indeed, there is more likelihood Of the
re-establishment OF the mint proper.
The amount of bullion which will be de-
posted there will more than justify its
continuance, and the probability is that
it will be sufficient to prove to the Treas
ury Department the necessity of an oper-
ating mint at that point. 1t is certainly
a shame that millions OF dollars worth
Of gold and silver bullion should be trans
ported past its very doors each month
for coinage at the Philadelphia and New
Orleans mints.

THE FAMILY CANVASS, OR THE
WAR OF THE ROSES.

The political battle now fragrant in
Tennessee between the Hon. Bob Taylor
and his brother, the Hon. Alf. Taylor, is
attracting attention on both sides of the
Atlantic. Not only do all Americans feel
deep interest in the progress of this
unique campaign, but Englishmen who
are curious in the matter of political nov
elites are discussing the remarkable stu
alton. The English newspapers are full
OF grotesque misinformation about the
great Taylor family.
The father of the Taylor brothers is a
Methodist Episcopal preacher who went
into politics before the war, and served
in the Thirty-third Congress when Bob
was baby The old gentleman was a
friend of his neighbor, Andy Johnson,
and went to Congress second time in
1866. He is now an ardent Prohibitionist,
and that party, which is making consid-
erable headway in East Tennessee, is
seriously considering the expediency OF
running him for Governor ..gainst his two
sons, Bob and ALI. There are four other
brothers, and they are said to represent
four more sorts OF politics. None of them
agrees with Bob and ALI; none of them
agrees with any OF his brothers on the
great questions of the day. AS for the
mother of this astonishing family, she is
said to be warm advocate of woman
suffrage.
ALI is the Republican candidate for
Governor. He is described by those who
know him best as a sedate and conserva-
tive gentleman, who lacks Bob's immense
social vivacity, People respect ALI, but
they don't hang around him lovingly and
beg him to take down his fiddle and play
them a mountain jig between drinks. At
the last election OF Governor in Ten
nessee the Democratic candidate had
majority of about 1000. Alfreds main
chance, therefore, is in the hope that the
old gentleman may run as a Prohibition
list, and draw away eight or ten Thousand
votes from Bob.
The country knows more about Bob,
the Democratic candidate for Governor.
He has run for Congress three times
against Pettibone or Greenville, and he
was elected once. The story of Bobs
canvass in the mountains is historical
He fiddled his way through every town
ship, making friends and winning votes
wherever he went, and into Congress, by
a majority of 73S. Thus Bob Taylor be-
came the Hon. Robert L. Taylor, NJ. G.
Although there is no fiddle in this can
vass the music of Bob's oratory is begin
ming to be heard. By an agreement with
Alfred, undoubtedly approved by the old
gentleman and Mrs. Taylor, the two
brothers are travelling through the State
together and appearing simultaneously
upon the same platforms. This most in
teresting joint progress and discussion
began at Madisonville, in the southeast
ern corner of Tennessee, a month ago,
was continued at Athens on the following
day and will extend to every part OF the
State during the campaign. The method
is strictly fraternal. The two brothers
appear together on the platform. First
Robert introduces Alfred, with a few
well-chosen words OF commendation and
Alfred delivers his speech. Before he
