The weekending September loth was a very hot one with an average dail,< excess, over t be norma I. of from I to <i degrees. The highest temper ature reported was 1M’» at various places: tbe lowest <».*» at Longshore on t be It h and tit h. There was about so of the possi ble sunshine; there having been al most clear during I be last four days of the week and partly cloudy on the previous days. There were light showers, ipiite general over the Slate, on the lib and ,0111. sealiering showers on the lit b and in the extreme northwestern counties on the Slh. The week’s rainfall was less than the usual mount in all sections, and a general rain would be beneficial: Spartanburg and I iiion counties have especial need of it. * High winds are reported from Ker shaw county with some damage to cot 11 >n and corn . Cotton pi.‘king has become general over the entire Stale, and was fa- vured by the hot. dr\ weal her which permitted uninterrupted labor, as well as causing the bulls tu open rap idly. The yield continues to appear disappoint ing and t lie general opin ion of correspondents .is, for causes already slated, the crop w ill not come up to t be early estimates. In addi tion to the reports of shedding and rust previously given, boll worms have appeared in New berry and Edge- field counties There will be 110 top crop on samlx land: at other plaees a small middle crop, w hile in gener al the erop is from one week to tell days late The hot sunshine seems to have effectiially cheeked rotting. The corn crop is all made and is be ing housed in places: the new corn is now used geiierallv for feeding. The heat is favorable, as it thorough ly ripens and hardens the grain on the stalk. The fodder has about all been srriiivd inline eonditioii and is an abiindaul supply . oiIut forage crops, sueli as pea-vine, bay and grasses are also heavy crops and are being cut under favorable weather eondit ions. The rice harvest is said In be well in hand now. and in some, count ies the largest crop ever known is being harvested, while the yield in‘general is very satisfactory. So far the weather has been all that could be desired for securing tbe crop and it will soon be beyond danger of injury from unfavorable weather. Early peas are ripening and being picked. The pea crop w ill be a large one in acreage and prospective yield. Tbe turnip crop has. generally, at tained a good stand and is growing olf nicely. Sweet potatoes are not uniform in regard to condition be ing an abundant crop in sections while other places report a pleiitx of vine but lack of tuber growth, Gar- i ilen products continue plentiful, ex cept cabbages are rotting badly.

A Newsy Letter From the Nation’s Headquarters. j( 'nlTcspnlldcllC" of Tilt. I.MmU.K. | M \s11IN1.T0N. Sept IO.—Things have been ipiite lively, even exciting at linns, in political circles dur ing the pa si week, notwithstanding! the absence of Congress, the I’resi- j dent and a majority of the members of the Cabinet. The first tlutter came when Senator Jones’ letter, withdrawing from the republican party and connect ing himself with t he | populists, was made public. That was a national scusatinn which prom- | ises to be far reaehb'g in its effects. The populist claim that it makes t hem al^olutcly certain of holding the haiatiee of power in both Senate and House of tlie Fifty-fourth Con gress, and many republicans and democrats admit that the claim is not a wild one Init is based upon what now appears to he very p »i« USI* hie probabilities. The next excite ment followed when there were ru- morsthat Senators Teller, of Colo rado. and Dnhoies, of Idaho, were about to follow the example of Jones. Senator Dnhoies. just before start ing for home, disposed of the rumor so far as it related to him by deny ing that he intended leaving the re publican party during this campaign, j but iiitimating that lie might do so later if the party did not favor silver more strongly than it does at present. Senator Teller has not been in W ashington since several weeks be fore Congress adjourned, hut it is not believed that he has any idea of withdrawing from the republican j party at t his t ime. Another political event that stirred things up in Washington was the re solution adopted by tbe Louisiana sugar planters, in favor of acting with the republican party hereafter. This was regarded here ns practicall-y the Hop of a State from the democratic to the republican party, as the sugar planters arc regarded as the ruling influence of the State. That the ad ministration quickly recognized the importance of I he move was shown by the attempt of Secretary Carlisle to bead it off by giving to the public. in an interview with Representative * Meyer, of Luisiana, the important fact that he and I’n sident Clevlaiid Were unalterably opposed to free su gar at this time, which is taken to mean that I In- bill placing sugar on the freelist will be vetoed should .'ll nat or Hlaekhurn succeed in his announced intention of getting it passed by the Senate—it has already passed the House with only eleven dissenting votes—at the short ses sion : also.1 hat he and [’resident Cleve land favored and would he glad to 11 >e their intliienee for legislation providing for the payment of the full bounty on all sugar made up to the date upon w hich t he new tariff went into operation and for the payment of t he difference between tile bounty and the duty upon this year's entire crop of sugar. This last was proba bly i nt elided to softeii t be disappoint- men! caused by bis tinal decision not to pav t lie .bounty on the sugar that bad been made Up to the taking effect of the Mew Inriff, which lias just been olljeially ammunced. About live hundred of lip* jocnj G A. R. men left In re yesterday op ;| special train, to attend the annual encampment a) I’ittsbupg. They earrieil with them a I'esoilRjoll i|'|op» ted by tin* Department at Hie I’n!o- mae concerning t lie dismissal of their members from the government ser vice. that may bring about a serious eoiitliet between that organization and the present administration. Among the newest political rumors siillieieii11y important to lie ment ioned is one that Secretary Gresham may be sent tothe Senate if the Illinois legislature should he democratic, notwithstanding the endorsement which has already been given to the candidacy of Mr. Mac Vcagh ; another that Senator Jones became a |m>- pulisl only for the purpose of inllu- cueing that party to endorse the candidacy of Senator Cameron, of I’emisylyania for the I’rcsidcncy on a free silver republican platform, and si Hi another, that Senator Dav'is of .Minnesota, js shurl ly to he brought out and boomed fur the republican I’resideiitiiil nomination hy a strong combination composed of men who do not wish either Harrison, McKin ley or Reed to he nominated. The lawyers are going to make a good thing out of the new tariff, un less some of the parties who have announced their intention of lighting Secretary Carlisle's decision in the courts shall change their minds. When tin short time that Hie new tariff Inis been in operation is taken into eonsideration there has been an unusual number of protests against the decision rendered hy Scc- retnrx Carlisle. In fact, about every one that be lias made has been met b\ a protest and a notice that the courts would he appealed to. Of course lots of these were made on , the spur of the moment and will never be heard from again, hut that many of them mean business must In apparent to any one who will take tin trouble to 'tudy the far reaching j effect a of these decisions upon cer tain industries and lines of trade.
