OYSTER CROP THREATENED.
High Tides Cover the Beds With Mud
and Warm Weather SOurs the Hauls.

South Jersey oyster planters are growing de-
spondent owing to the continued warm weather,
as it is feared that many oyster beds will be
covered up with mud caused by the high tides
in the rivers, lakes and bays for the past three
days. In Maurice river cove the oyster crop
was never known to be 80 large before. The
planters also report that the crop at Somers
Point, Lakes bay and Brigantine Shoals is i'm
mense. Nevertheless il a cold snap does not
soon come small sales will be made, as within
twenty-four hours after the oysters are fishe d
up from the beds they sour In the shell. This
is hard for the purchaser to detect, as the oys-
ter will open fine and look perfectly fresh. An
old planter says that the instant you attempt
to swallow the soured oyster it makes you sick.
The markets throughout the county are carry
ing small stock.

A WARM GEORGIA CAMPAIGN.
Farmers Bitterly Opposed to Gov. Cor
don for the United States Senate.

Gov. Gordon's Remuneration of Col. Macnne,
the head Of the Farmers Alliance, and Col. L.
+. Livingston Of the Georgia state alliance has
so accumulated the differences between the
governor and the farmers that his defeat is
now almost foregone conclusion. Early in
the campaign Gov Gordon announced his
readiness to speak in the different congress
sional districts in favor of the democratic nomi-
nses. This offer is now antagonized by the
spectacle Of Gordon's friends in counties where
the legislative nominees are opposed to him
bringing out independent candidates with tho
view Of gaining votes in the legislature for him.
Hon. Thos. N. Norwood, it is now admitted,
will be the opponent of Gov. Gordon for the
Senate. In view of this probability the gov
ernor in his recent speeches has been referring
to Norwood as "a stay-at-home during the war
who fortified himself behind a pair of sore
eyes" This has aroused Norwood SO that he
challenged Gov. Gordon to meet him on the
stump throughout the state. Those who have
been keeping tally Of the legislative nomina-
tons declare that there is a majority Of ten so
far against Gordon. This makes il necessary

Correspondence Of The EVENING SrAa
ROCKVILLE, Sept 18.
A boy, about twelve years old. named George
Cummings, who resided near Great Falls,
and who has shown symptoms OF inranity for
some time, was brought here and yesterday,
after examination before jury, was adjudged
to be of unsound mind, and this morning was
sent to the Maryland Insane Asylum.
Some speculation is INDUCED in BY many
small creditors Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company in regard to receiving their
pay should the Cumberland and Washington
Railroad Company decline to accept the lease
granted them by the last legislature and bid
upon the canal property without regard thereto
BY the terms Of that lease they obligated them
selves to pay these claims and also Is per cent
to the ~ bondholders, but the recent decree
OF Judge Alvy makes no provision for paying
either. This action, should il be taken, would
entail loss of thousands Of dollars in this
county, unless the legislature should see fit to
make an appropriation to pay the claims of the
workmen and others.
Yesterday and today about twenty names
have been added to the list of voters in Rock
Vile district and these are nearly equally
divided between white and colored. No action
has yet been taken in regard to striking of
names under the new law.

SUFFRAGE IN MISSISSIPPI.
Senator Georges Speech Leads to the
Adoption Of tho Committees Report,

The event Of the day in the Mississippi con-
stitutional convention yesterday was the speech
of Senator George. Predictions were free last
night in Jackson that his speech so influenced
the convention as to cause the suffrage report
to be adopted by majority Of 80. In the
course Of his remarks the Senator denounced
as untrue the reports that elections In Missis-
sippi since 1875 had been carried by force and
fraud. He admitted that there were cases of
that description here and there, brought about
by peculiar circumstances but these we're only
exceptions to general rule Of fair and peace
able elections. He further declared that he
conceded to the negro the same right to life
and liberty and property that the white man
enjoys, but he denied that the negro had the
right to destroy the civilization of Mississippi,
and that right he was unwilling to accord to
him. The speaker then reviewed the commit
tee report on suffrage section by section and
closed by appealing to the convention to save
Mississippi, to rise above local or personal
prejudice and to consider the question pre-
sented i'll a spirit of patriotism
