If there is anything bad in a pair OF hoops
that expose to view neatly dressed feminine

see It. When editors talk about indecent
exposure of person, etc, they display their
ignorance of female apparel, and
utterly ignore the fact that pantaletts are
worn with the fitting hoops as well as with

Crops IN Panola ossnty-From the best
information we could gather, we stated
several weeks ago that the people of Pamela
county would make about two thirds of
crop that is to say, net an ordinary crop,
buttwO-thirds of a crop taking into consider
alton the number Of acres planted and the
hands employed. Week before last we
stated that this prospect was reduced to
one-third by the rains and unfayolable
weather. Since then the windows of
Heaven have opened, and the rains have de-
scended in torrents, - and by reason (which
we now are of the opinion that not more
than one-fourth of crop may. be expected,
and if the rainy, cold weather of this week
continues for ten days longer, the entire
crop will be lost This is truly an unfaYora-
bic view of the subject, but it is one that we
feel bound under all the circumstances to-
present We hope we may lB misinformed

cannot be held responsible for the act of

The local of the Boston Post, in de-
scribing the dance halls Of that city,
paints vivid pictures of vice. Here is
his account of one he entered. There
were many others like it, but we select
this as a specimen:


Passing into the dance hall, we found
quite a company present tripping the
light fantastic toe to the music Of a
piano forte, with violin accompani-
ment. This hall is about sixty feet
deep, and is fitted up with considerable
taste. The walls are hung with pictures,
real and fancy, and TO give patriotic
east to the whole, the names OF all the
Presidents and the names Of the princi-
pal battles in which Massachusetts col
ored regiments have served are printed
in gold, and relieve the sameness OF the
dingy walls The scene here presented
by those participating in the social
dance is not only novel, but disgusting
Young, good-looking white girls and ne
groes, black as lampblack, mingle and
commingle in the dance, and embrace
each other with seeming tenderness OF
spirit. The tall, athletic specimen OF
the genuine African, with great gusto
and enthusiasm, whirls the young white
woman in the may dance, and at the
signal to promenade for drinks, escorts
her to the bar and treats her to "A tum-
bier of spruce beer and some peanuts.
This scene is revolving in the extreme to
one accustomed to respectable society,
but it is practiced here, in this mixed
company, nearly every night in the year;
Familiarity knows no restraints. All
are on a level, and we have here a per
feet illustration of the theory of negro

New York, May 4.-Postmaster Gen.
Dennison, in the concluding portion of his
speech ut the serenade in Washington last
night, said that the theory of the executive
programme for the restoration OF the south
ern states looked to an early admission of
loyal senator's and representatives, while
the congressional programme looks to de-
lay, conditioned upon the adoption Of GER
tain conditional amendments. He thought
that unless this difference was adjusted it
would lead to unfortunate results to the
whole country. Still, he did not think
these difficulties were irrecconcilable; in
deed, congress and the president were near
er together now than at the meeting OF
congress,


Secretary Harlan did not speak. He
sent letter, in which he referred to his po-
sition in the past as shown in his speeches,
and of course said he could not change
that position without bctraying the conti-
dence reposed in him. His opinions being
therefore fully known, he did not deem
it worth while to reiterate them

A lady, writing to The Utica Odserrer,
says:
ly opposed to that ito you) obnoxious

yet doubt not that you will be impartial
enough to hear the other side of the ques-
ton, and let the ladies' say word in self
defense. In the first place, if they choose
to do SO they are at perfect liberty to wear
any article of apparel introduced as fash
ion by the best circles of society, and
worn, as these innocent filters are, by
all the fashionable ladies of our large
cities. And innocent they are, too, say
what the spitetul newspaper men may

fncmcnt. l have no doubt that these
gallant men have just as much admiration
for a dainty fair of feet and ankles as any
other man, and would exert themselves to
obtain view whenever young lady sees
fit to offer an opportunity.


g If there is anything bad in a pair of
hoops that expose to view neatly-dressed
feminine pedal cxtremities, the ladies as
yet fail to see it.. When editors talk about
indecent exposure of PERSONS etc., they
display their lamentable ignorance OF fe-
male apparel, and utterly ignore the fact
that the pantaletts are worn with the tilt
ing hoops as well us without them.


In short, claiming that a lady has as
good u right to show her graceful feet, as
u man his great, ungainly, uncouth APP
pendages, we cannot see why Our much
abused sex, since they must wear hoops.

that particular kind which is the most

hands took hand at whist, and until old
