Middle
and Western States are cufTerinar
from the effects of the continued wet
weather, drought is prevailing in the
greater portion T Alabama to such
an extent that the cotton and corn
crops are considered almost a total
failure. In the cotton growing coun
ties no rain bas fallen for more than
a month, and the thermometer dur
ing that time bas ranged from 94 to
98.
Prof. J asset's report to the In
terior Department, da'.ed July 17th, ;
contains the intelligence that gold in j
paying quaotities Las been found in
the Black Hills country. The report
also declares that, "no matter bow
valuable the mines may be, the future
great wealth of the region will be in
grass lands, farms and timber. The
soil is deep and fertile, and the rain
fall greater and more regular than
that of any regioi west of the Alle
gheny mountains."
Senator Sargent made a neat lit
tle computaiion in bis recent Fpeech
at San Francisco. "Have you," said
he, "thought, fellow citizen?, that the
reduction of the national debt bas
been $120 a minute since you have
sat here and I commenced talking?
Taking the average of the whole
time, the reduction of the debt has
o
roup wth and look at it. See the
p-onr on at tnai ra:e.
second hand as it flies; at each tick
of the second Land $2 duriog the
whole time since Grant's inaugura
linn bv diir and bv ciirht. upon week
day and upon Sunday, $2 per second
in cold Las irone off the national
debt."
The condition of the crops in Ken
tucky, Indiana and portions of the
adjoining states is discouraging in
the extreme. In the former state rain
has fallen almost continuously for six
weeks, and it is believed that wheat,
rye, barl-y and bar have been injur
cd fifty ier cent, ia quality and quan
tity- 1 he tobacco crcp bas also been
ETeatlv iniured. Kenorts from eigh
ty-two counties of Indiana and twen
ty-five counties of Illinois show that
fully two-thirds of the wheat crop
bas been utterlv ruined. Ilain has
fallen stcadilv for some weeks, there
having been only occasional gleams
of sunshine, w hich caused the wheat
to sprout in the shocks, while oats
and hay are rotting on the ground.
The war that has been raging in
the New York IVmocraticcamp over
the distribution of the spoils has cul
minated in an effort to expel ex-Con-gressninn
John Morrissey from Tam
manv. The claim put forth, that
Morrissey was expelled because he
a "sporting man," is exquisitely
absurd, in the faco of the public and
private history of Tammany and its
members. Morrissey was not repu
diated until Lc fell out w ith pome ol
the leaders w ho attempted to cheat
bis immediate followers out of their
share of the loaves and fishes. Bad
as is John Morrissey, be bas never
been charged with being a tLief, and
that is more than can be said lor
some of the immaculate members of
Tammar.y. A portion of the Demo
cratic press of the State sustains Mor
rissey, and the Bght promises to be
come bitter and extended, ir tne
old adage be true, then honest men
will nroCt bv (9t iiuarrel among
rogues.
The last number of the Sharon
Mercer county Herald contains a rath
er suggestive declaration of inde
pendence, igncJ by cio.'e than two
hundred Irifb citizens of that coun
tv, in which thev det-'are that thev
Lave withdrawn thtir support from
the Democratic party, acJ that laey
will not hereafter support its candi
dates. They ay that ' when any of
our jecp'e arc aggrieved, injured,
outraged and abused, we bare to
tura to lit publicans to call the organ
ic Uw into operation, and obtain for
us the right even of being beard in
our cauuty courts, with all the Demo
cratic power of this country arrayed
anJ prejudiced against us." They
further declare that hereafter "we
w ill not support with our votes any
man for office unless we are satisfied
of his prcviouc good moral character,
iutcgrity and capacity, and have good
reason to believe that be would dis
cbarge his public duty fearlessly and
justly, without prejudice or favor to
any class of citizens on account of
wealth, poverty, nationality or relig
ion ; witaout these qualities we shall
support no roan for Lis political pro
fessions." The editor of the Valley Jnd,--jHiulent
bas tbe shakes political
we mean. He loves General Coffrotb,
and fears for the Republican party,
if tbe object of bis affections fchould
be nominated for Governor. We
! trust our too susceptible friend will
calm bis fears. We really do not
think that there is much danger of
bis having to rboose' between bis
Democratic and Republican loves.

and votes less than a majority.
The bill simply repealing the "Lo
cal Option" law passed the House by
124 to 5 more than a two-third
vote the representatives from near
ly every county which voted against
licerie voting "for the repeal. The
present license law passed the Senate
by 27 to 20, and the House by 122 to
C3 g decided majority of both
branches of the Legislature rting
for it. The Attorney General, to
whom the bill was referred by the
Governor, gave an opinion affirming
ta rnnstitutionalitT. The Governor
held tbe bill twenty-five days, during
u-hirh time tbirtv-eisbt petitions, a
number of which came froi.i "Local
Option" counties, preying for its ap
proval, and fifteen remonstrances,
were received by bim. Of the fifteen
remonstrances, eigtit were irom liq
uor sellers in counties which had
voted for license, and seven were from
temperance men in "Local Option"
nd lirpnse countiep. Such arc the
record facts, as an inspection of tbe
journals of the two Houses and the
records of tte Mate iiepanmeiu at
test.
Hv internosin? bis veto, tl.e (ov-
ernor could have defeated tbe repeal
of tbe "Local Option" law; but we
submit that, w ith the facts we have
submitted before bim, it would have
been an arbitrary exercise ot author
ity. He could have vetoed the bill;
but what good Executive reason, if
we may be allowed tue term, cuum
bee-iven: ot that it was uncon
stitutional to repeal the law until the
three years had t-xpircd, for the At
torney General the year before had
given an opinion cieuriv murium
that; not that tbe bill was passed
with undue baste, for both Houses
had debated it in committee and on
tbe floor; not that ihere was any
corruption in Ks passage, lor tbere tins
been no evidence whatever ol any
t .
money naving been enquoyeu ; not
that the biil bad not received the
constitutional majority iu each bouse,
for it had that, and more ; not that
the bill was unconstitutional in any
of its provisions, for he had referred
it entire to the Attorney General, and
that officer affirmed tbe constitution
ality of all of its provisions. He
could have vetoed tbe bill, but would
have been unable to assign any such
reason as ought only actuate the Ex
ecutive of a State in defeating the
law making power.
We are not excusing Governor
Ilartranft for approving the prescn
license law. That act of his needs
no apology. We would Lave con
demned his action bad Le vetoed the
"Local Option" law in 1S73, for that
law was passed in obedience to the
then popular demand, just as its re
peal was efTected in 1875. In Exec
utive approvals and vetoes the peo
ple deal with Governor llaitranft
not Jcbn F. Ilartranft. Had he
vetoed cither tbe bill creating: ' Lo
cal Option" or tbe bill repealing it,
be would, in our judgment, Lave
proven himself illy fitted to preside
over a Commonwealth whose law'
making power is vested in the people

to be tbe first in the world, I am

bas a myriad of faults, but it bas also
a myriad of virtues, and to take it by

Since tbe heated term commenced
there bas been in New York
A CARNIVAL CF C LOOP.
Last Sunday a negro quarreled
with others over the gambling table
and killed three men with a knife be
fore he was secured. The same day
a son shot his father, a woman was
killed by ber husband, and tbe police
reports in tbe morning sbowtd no
less than eighteen assaults with dead

HARD TIMES.
You of the country may. anu"
doubtless do. srrowl of bard times,
hut rnn ilnn 't know the meaning of
those two terrible words. We know
o'l nlwint it in New York, for busi
ness is at an entire stand-still. There
is no business to speak of. There is
a little flurry in the grain market,
aad the dritkinjr houses are busy, but
tLUis all. There are no goods selling
no real estate being transferred, in
short, no nothing. Stagnation is the
rule. Now, in the country, where
expenses are light, this condition of
a2airs can be borne for a time with
some degree of patience, butnot here.
You pay here $ 12,000 per annum for
a store you Lave your army of
salesmen and clerks on hand, and yon
must keep them, for w hen trade be
gins you mujt bare them and this
enormous expenditure eats and eats
into capital at a fearful rate. And
the trouble with us is, that there is
nj reason to believe that the fall!
trade will be auv better. The mer
chants see no indications cf anything
like even a respectable fall season.
The people do not seem to bo buying
tf tLe retailers, and per consequence,
their stocks are comparatively heavy.
Furi-Lases are being made wun
gnat caution, and in the smallest
pcsiiblo quantities, mis conuuioy
of things may be chargeable partially
to the hard times, but I have an idea
that the trade that New York is now
suffering for the w ant of, she never
will get again. . Boston is getting a
part of it, Baltimore still more, and
Chicago, Toledo, St Louis, Cincin
nati, Louisville and other inland
points arc doubling and quadrupling
their business. It is possible that
New York is absolutely overgrown,
and that its sceptre bas departed.
No matter what the cause, the mer
chants are as blue a3 indigo, and ire
likely to keep so.
THE TRADE BOOK. SALE
is abt'Ut the only sensation iu the
city at this time. The publishers
and booksellers ol tbe Lulled btates
formed an association last year, the
object being an annual fair, where
ihe manufacturers could meet tbe
dealers. This is the first, and it is a
projouoccd success. All the pub
lishers are represented, and book
sellers are here from almost every
city and town iu the country. Each
publisher bas Lis stand on which be
displays samp!pof his publications.
It surprised latj-to kaow that in that
in that Lall were thirty-two thousand
dijjcrinl bcHjhz, published in this
country ! tbe most of them having
been is-ned within the past two
years: What an immense amount of
paper aad ink must have been con
sumed, and w hat an immense amount
tf thought expended to produce bis
vast mass. The trade is, as in other
depaitmcnts of business,
Buyers are cautious and
very dull,
sellers are
eager.

Xasiuille, July 31. A special
to the Xashville papers from Green
ville, dated eleven o'clock to-night,
says ex-President Andrew Johnson
died of paralysis and heart disease at
the residerce of bis daughter, Mrs.
Brown, in Carler county, some forty
miles east of here, this forenoon, at
half-past two o'clock.
lie had been complainiu. some
what of ill health during the past
month, but Wt no eerioos appreuen-
sions. Last Wednesday ne voon. iue
morning train to visit his daughter,
with whom Mrs. Johnson had been
sojourning for the six week'.
11& rode in a liack from tbo Carter's
depot to ber residence, some six miles
'iistant, and seemed in g-d spirits
on bis arrival, lie ate a hearty din
ner, and after a fc w minutes of general
conversation, retired up stairs and
was talking alone with his grand
daughter, Miss Lillie Stover. While
thus engaged his tongue refused ut
. . . , i i. .i ..
terance, and to ber great consterna
tion he fell rrom his seat on to the
floor. Help was instantly summoned,
and almost as soon as raised he ex
pressed, indistinctly, that bis right
side was paralyzed. After being
taken to bed, when tbe family spoke
of sending for a physician, he forbade
it, saying that be would soon recover.
In this way tbe summoning of medi
cal aid was deferred for twenty-four
hours, when Dr. Jobe 'was called
from Elizabethtown, some two miles
distant. He instantly began heroi
treatment, aided ly Dr. Cameron,
and seemed atone time, on tbe next
day, to be succeeding. Tbe patient
conversed imperfectly in regard to
domestic matters, and did not seem
conscious of approaching dissolution.
But his case wa9 beyond the skill of
the physicians, and at seven o'clock
last night he became unconscious.
Mrs. Patterson and Andrew Johnson,
Jr., arrived an hour later, with two
physicians from Greenville, Dra.
Brey and Taylor, but to did not
recognize any of them, and after
seven hours and a half of unconscious
ness, peacefully breathed bis last,
surrounded bv his wife, children and
all bis grandchildren, except tbe son
and daughter of cx-benator ratierson.

A Bold Ilurelarj-.
Ou Friday morniug, between 2 aad
3 o'clock, the National Bank of Win
tbrop and tho Winthrop Savings
Bank, both in the town of Win
throp, Me., about ten miles from
Augusta, and both in the same build
ing, were entered by burglars, and
tbe safe blown open and rilled of its
contents. The first intimation of
the robbery was a terrific explosion
which startled a number of tbe towns
people, who immediately rushed out
doors to ascertain what was the-mat-tcr.
.
Among the number was Iienry
Woodward, who lived close by, aod
who on bearing the explosion 6U3
peced that the bank had been enter
ed, and fearing tbat it was another
case of gagging the cashier, be arous
ed bis partner. Mr. Woodward saw
three men passing the bouse on go
ing to the window. ' Hastily dressing
himself, he and his partner proceeded
to the bouse of the cashier, J. M.
Benjamin, which was but a short
distance. Mr. Benjamin had also
been aroused by the explosion, aod
was up. Mr. Levi Jones, one of the
directors of the bank, was also arous
ed, and the party went to the bank,
where a large crowd bad already as
sembled. An examination of the premises
was at once made, and everything
was found in the most disordered
condition. The two windows front
ing the 6treet were completely blown
out, and the floor was covered with
the wreck of the front of the large
safe and its contents, one of the
doors being literally blowu to pieces.
Ou tbe floor were a!.-o found the
implements w hich the burglars bad
left behind tbem, consisting of two
big iron bars, one rail.-oad spike
eledge, w lich they bad sto'rn from
the Main Central" Railroad Depot,

tbe flight they drove iu the direction
of Lewiston, and it was supposed
struck tbe Grand Trunk Railroad at
Danville Junction.
Wben the first excitement had
subsided, and everybody had express
ed an opinion on the robbery, tbe
officers of tbe bank began to gather
up ihe fragments which bad been
blown from the bursted safe, iu the
shape of torn bills, scrip and other
valuables, making in all nearly a
bushel, which was carried to the
cashier's house and sorted over. It
was found that the smaller safe had
alao been opened and its contents
ransacked, but as it contained mostly
the books of the bank, vx-h notes,
mortgages, etc., there w as but little
booty to b3 taken by tho rob kts that
would benefit teem.
The lo:ses are variously estimated,
and as tbe bank officers are very
reticent it is verv difficult to form a
correct estimate of the amount stolen.
Cirri IT. rumor sets it at $50,000.
The solvency of the bank is assured,
and also tbe October dividends. Tbe
capital stock of the national bank is
$100,000. The total amount of de
posits in the savings bank was
about $100,000!. The excitement
here is intense. The news of the
robbery was promptly telegraphed in
all directions to police officers, and a
despatch has just been received from
Bethel that four men, answering the
description of those believed to be
the burglars, have oeen arrested.
One of the bank officers at once left
for tnat point to identify them if pos
sible. In case tbey are not the
guilty parties the Directors of the
bank will offer a reward for their ap
prehension. 1'all o re of lnncan. Sbcriaao i lit.
Tbe New York Keening Post of
July 27th has. the following ia its fin
ancial column :
The quietness of Wall Street was
broken in the second hour of business
bv the announcement that tbe bank
ing boue of Duncan. Sherman & Co.
had closed their doors and suspended
navment. A clap of thunder in a
clear sky could not have caused more
consternation, and at tbe Stock Ex
change, Gold Exchange and Cotton
Exchange, there was great excite
ment. The liabilities of the house
are given at inside of $0,000,000, and
it is admitted that its assets fall in
value far below this amount. The
losses which bavo weakened the
house arc not eutirely of recent mak
ing, but cover several years, the heav
iest, it is understood, having been iu
cotton, and next in securities which
now have a doubtful value. It is due
to Win. Butler Duncan to say that
had he bad the disposition to take
chances, the credit of b:3 bouie was
sufiicientiy good to have enabled bim
to get the means necessary to bridge
over his bills oa London sold yester
day. Asa niaa of honor, however,
he took an honorable course, and
stopped while Lj had something to
divide, refusing new business. He
endeavored t get new capital enough
to pay every demand which could be
possibly made on him, but, failing in
that, wisely concluded to suspend.
The Pott also published tbe follow
ing statement to creditors, prepared
by Mr. Duncan, and read at the
Stock Exchange:
A careful examination of cur bus
iness affairs shows ti. most unex
pectedly, that through losses and mis
forte nes our available assets are so
reduced that we are compelled to go
into liquidation. We reach this con
clusion with the deepest regret, but
the fact tbat up to the latest moment
our most unexampled credit having
remained unimpaired, would have
compelled us, if we continued busi
ness, to hazard new obligations and
incur ne.' confidences which we were
unwilling to assume, for the protec
tion of all onr creditors without dis
tinction or preference, we have this
day made a general assignment to
the lido. Wo. D. Sbipman, Of this

connected with our affairs, will be at
