Fa:ts for Voters.
We commend the attention of voters
to the following; The new Constitution
forbids all persons from voting unless
they have been assessed at least two
months and paid their taxes at least ono
month before the date of the election.
No one of foreign birth can vote unless
in addition to the above, he has been
naturalized a month previous to the
election.
The date of holding tho next election
is Tuesday, November 2d.
Wednesday, September 1st, is the
last day on which voters can be assessed
Friday, October 1st, is the last day
for naturalization papers.
From The I'hila. Times.
Tho Defalcation Epidemic.
Almost every passing day brings its
story of soma fresh defalcation in public
or private trust, and the multitude of
busncss failures often present the most
painful exhibitions of perfidy in the
dealings ol men with each other, What
we thoughtlessly call an epidemic is so
but in name, for it is only tho logical
result of a long tolerated vicious system
of business that is now just ripening its
hardest of disaster nod shame. It is not
because peoplo have suddenly become
dishonest, but because the necessities of
the time? make it impossible longer to
hido dishonesty, and throws upon the
Hui laco of society the hideous sores that
have gradually reached toward the
vitals until the polution can no longer
bo concealed. No section of tho country,
no class of citizens have escaped tin
crime. It has stained the pulpit and
the altar, the inner temples of political
power, the sanctuaries of our corporate
trusts, the private business circles
where men meet face to face, and in all
it has planted its sin and wrought its
desolation. Our daily columns are
scarcely complete without this Beasons
ing for the readers of the world's pass
ing lessons, and distrust comes with its
horrid spectres to paralyze conGdcnce
and business. Who or what will nest
receive tho blow is the inquiry of every
ono who must trust his fellow iu the
transactions of life, and often the most
innocent are borne down by unspoken
and unjDst suspicion, whilo the most
guilty command the confidence of those
who sooner or late'r must be their
victims.
Men arc no better and no worse now
than tKptr t" 1- r-- -0- pa.
Occasions may be more favorable to the
growth of fraud, but men are neither
more nor less than men, whether of
this or any other ago of our civilization.
In tides of severe exactions, when pro
fligacy is shunned because its retribu
tion is patent to all, wo find honesty
hand in hand with economy; but when
speculation sweeps a tidal wave over any
people its evils linger after its currents
have receded to their legitimate chan
nels again. Fifteen years ago tho peo
ple of this oountry were unsettled iu all
their business rulc3 by the unnatural
revolutions of a gigantio civil war.
While it developed tho sublimest attri
butcs of sacrifice and patriotism, it also
quickened cupiJiity and speculation to
a flood-tide. Money was superabundant,
because the government itself was di
rectly or indirectly, the great market
for the products of our industries, and
tho steady and often rapid growth of
values bewildered men with the measure
of their profits. Fortune, usually so
fickle and faithless to her wooers, lav
ishes her favors upon all classes, aud
the demoralization that surrenders
patient, produ.tive industry for the
thrift of greedygpeculatiou, permeated
every artery of trade and almost every
class of men. Extravagance, ever the
handmaid of easily acquired wealth
grew into monstrous proportions and
power, and just as profligacy widoncd
anJ deepened, honesty and fair-dealing
were dwarfed and crippled. Venturers
were comparatively safe for profits were
reasonably certain, and the tempest had
an easy task to make men appropriate
what .they did not own because the
ability to restore, by som3 turn of for
Iuqc wasjnotj doubted. The rick made
vulgar display of their riches, and their
subordinates caught tho contagion of
their masters. To speculate, to display,
to swell the throng of pretenders in
social life, and to win the fame of the
clever and successful, controlled the
currents of ambitiou, and who of those
started on such a plan could take pause
at the proper moment aud save them
selves? At last the season for reckon
ing has come, and how many are utterly
unprepared for it the world will not
know uutil tne bottom of depression
shall have been reached, and prosperity
is founded again upon the ruins of
speculative madness. Many defalca
tions "were made apparent when the
tide ot ieductiou iu values set in, and
many more have struggled from day to
day and month to mouth, usually in
volving themselves deeper with eaoh
effort to retrieve themselves, and are
uow completing the circle of our busi
ness misfortunes, as they follow eaoh
other in quick succession in exposure
to tho public. These are but the logical
results of the unavoidable . departure
from sound business principles enforced
by an unnatural war, and not uutil the
restoration to honest production and
just compensation will such disasters
octifC. It is reasonable to hope that the
sore lessons of revulsiou are well nigh
complete, and that the country may soon
Btart afrenh on a basis of enduring pros.
pcrity; and if so, tho cpidemio ot defal
cations must speedily end its misiun.

AITHEHENSlONk OP AN EXTREME RISE
IN BREADSTUF.FS QUIETED.
London August 14 Tho Time city
article to-day says: "Tho following on
the condition of tho corn trade is de
rived from good souraos. Admitting as
certain a further rise in the event of
bad weather, in tho contrary event
there is still time to secure a large pro
portion of the wheat crop in good con
dition. If so the recent apprehensions
will probably prove lo have been ex
trciuo. If tho Amoricau crop is secured
in good order there can be no great
change in the result of tho spring wheat
crop from what we had reason to expect
a few weeks ago. There had been then
already reason to apprehend a deficeney
which had not beon sufficiently hccd(d,
which should certainly bo heeded now
The last report form France is much
less unfavorable than was apprehend. d.
Most of the recent rains have done little
injury. Oar own farmers' stock of old
wheat is reported small, but cannot be
quite so exhausted as it was last year
and deliveries during the last two weeks
have been double those of the corres
ponding weeks a year ago." The Timet
also says the Mincing lane markets
show a further tendency towards im
provement this week, but there is no
speculation, A large business is repor
ted in West India sugar at the recent
enhanced rates.
A DOG-RIDDEN STATE.
Tho St. Louis Glebe has teen mak
ing some calculations from recent statis
tics on this question and, sums up in
reference to tho State of Missouri as
follows; "Our 400,000 dogs furnish
one of the most importanto cconomio
consideration now affecting the State.
In the first place, they militate against
the mutton crop anually to the extent
of at least S5,0U0,000; secondly they
cost, of an average of twenty-five cents
a week each SG,500,000 enough to
run all our common schools and leave a
large stealable surplus; thirdly, they
slay anuually through, hydrophobia, at
least 120 persons, which, at 85,000
each tho average prica paid by rail
roads for the very poorest brakeman
amounts to the further sum ot 8000,000
Here is a direct expsnditure of nearly
87.750,000 for dogs, not to mention the
6dcs, costs, and more remote sentimen
tal damages resulting from lawsuits
about doss Ri;iii u( severence ol
Friendship between the owners of com
bativo curs. Capitalized our dogs rep
resent a waste of 880,000,000, and, in

THE CROPS.
AN ABUNDANT YIELD PROMISED.
Washington, August 12. The fol
lowing extracts are from complete
monthly reports ot the Department of
Agnoulture just issued:
Corn. The returns show an in
crease in the acreage planted of about
eighty per cent, over la3t year. The
great com growing regions show an in
creased breadth planted. The condition
of the crop is about ninety-six per cent,
of an average.
Wheat The average condition of
both kinds for the entire country is 82.
The average of winter wheat is 74;
spring wheat, 90.
Cotton The returns are unusually
full. Tho condition of tho crop ap
proximates a full average, showing an
improvement during June in all the
cotton States except Texas, No insect
injuries are reported.
Oats The June returns show an
increased area sown. July returns
promise a large yield. All tho large
producing States, except Pennsylvania
aud New York, are above the average.
Rye In the large producing States
except Wisconsin, the condition of rye
is reported considerably below the av
erage. Barley The condition of the crop
in nearly all the State is below the av
erage. Potatoes Returns show an In
crease ot four per cent, in average ovsr
last year. Among tho Eastern and
Atlantio States the condition is below
the average. The principal increase is
in the western border of the Gulf and
the Mississippi valley.
Tobacco The acreage this year is
about 2. that of last year. The con
dition ot crops in the whole country is
at the least twenty per cent, above av
erage, being most satisfactory in the
largest tobacco States.
Sugar The cane in all the States,
except Mississippi and Georgia, shows a
decreased acreage, and all are below
the average coudition exoept iu Missis
sippi and Lousiana.
Cincinnati, Aug. 11. The Gazette
has received special despatches from one
huudred and forty county seats where
the late floods have occurred. The
prospects are much better than expeo
tcd. Wheat and oats have suffered.
Ot the former two-thirds of the crop
will be saved, aud of the latter less than
half can be saved. Of corn there will
be more than the average crop, owing
to the increased average, Potatoes will
yield largely although some few farmers
complain of the rot. At most points
the yield will be more than the average
The ffay crop will not fall short of the
average in quintity, but the quality is
not as good as usual.

We did think we wore prepared to hear

(Sunday night some miserable, cowardly
groveling specimen of the well, there is

enough to erpress it, butn thiug attempted
lo poison the family of W. 3. Nivcr, of

hanging round the place but no thoght
was given at the time. In tho moraine

for liis work without drinking of the water
The rest of the family drank of tho water
and afterward were taken severely, ill,

was poisoned with, the doctors being una

ous compounds that would in any way re

Pennip.3 in the South. The Atlanta
(Ga.) Herald has started an evening
edition at three cents per oopy, and thus
-t. ! niu experiences sus
taincd: "It was Btated in the prospectus
of that paper that change would be given
to all purchasers as far as the specie re
sources of the city would admit. After a
careful search of the town, we were unable
to find over four dollars' worth of pennies
in Atlanta. There is a volumo of homily
in this statement, and the consequence that
;t carries. It is our opinion that a people
that recognizes no piece of money less thnn
t ne ni.kle, can never know what true
tbrif'iuess and economy mean. For years
we have been enjoining the people to the
use of penuics and the various fractions of
the Dickie. We have now determined to
purchnse and bring here a large number of
peni.ies with which all the Herald news
boys will be supplied, and with which they
will make change when a nicklo is offered
them for the evening paper. In this' way
wo expect to gradually work (he humble
but useful cent, into general circulation,
ad feel assured that, it will be found, when
they have become a useful machine of pur
chase, that three-fourths of the articles for
which we now pay a nickel, can tie brought
for a fractional part thereof."

Memphis Tenn., August 14. The

ches. There is no further damage re
ported, although the river is higher than
in the spring flood The immense bot
tom between here and Crawley liidge
has not been filled with water as it was
in tho spring. There is a great diver
sity of opinion in regard to the damage
to the cotton crop in this district, which
extends from the Missouri line to the
Arkansas river. Some assert that the
damage will aggregate 300,000 bales,
while others, who havo watched the el.
foots of tbo flood closely, are equally as
positive that it will not exceed 30,000
boles. There is much rejoicing over
the fact that the flood has reached its
iinits, and there is a consequent feeling
of relief. If a rapid decline sets in
there will probably bo little additional
damage done.
