The following is the weekly bulletin of the condition of the weather anu the crops by State Observer Hauer: Although the average temperature for the past week was just the same us for the preceding, yet, relatively, it was slightly cooler, as the season's iuerease in temperature averages about two degrees iu May. There were several cool nights, and minimum temperate ?es of 50 or below were reported from the high lauds of the western and northern counties. The minima for the week were 40 at Ridgewuy, 48 at Cheraw and Elloree, all on Friday, the 8th. The maximum temperature was 04, repotted from Cheraw on the (5th.

The highj est meuu was 711, at Povertjf Hill, Edge liehl county, ami tho lowest (54, ui Reid, Greenville county. The meat temperature for the State since Murcl 1st has been about 1.5 degrees per duj above normal. There were quite general ?hower over tho entire State on the I5?i, ltl ami 5th, but the raiufall was ueverthe less partial, ami iu consequence then remain large portions of tbo Stati where drought is not relieved onb surface wetting. Over a strip o country about six miles wide, iu Pick ens county, th - rainfall exceeded fo ;i inches on the-Id, and was uccoiupnuie* l>j large hail that, in the vicinity o l.o? per's, destroyed all vegetation ii it> path and stripped the trees of fruit The path of this destructive hail wa narrow and short. The heavy rain washed lauds badly iu Pickens am , Edgefield counties, and newly plautei lauds have since then crusted over. Over the greater portion of the arei comprised bv Aiken, Lexington, Hick i land, Sumter, Pair Held, York, New berry, Union, Kershaw, Chester am I Lancaster counties, the rainfall ru i mains deficient. Over the renmimle ! of the State enough rain fell for th< i immediate needs of crops. ' a lew coot mgtns .seem to put a decnl i ed ekeck on the growth of corn nui i cotton, hut fortunately the woathe ' soon turned warmer. With the ex j ceptiou of the territory already noted I there seems to he suiHcieut inoistur | for most crops, but grains would b benefited by more rain. The plaid | mg season is practically ever, excep I for some of the minor crops uud to the bottom land corn, and this is mak ing satisfactory progress. The fol j lowing brief summaries express th general conditions of the various crop named, and when a particular crop i not mentioned it may be assumed tha the reports on it are in the main fuvoi able.

Sea island cotton has a good stand and is thriving. Chopping to a stand continues actively, and in places cotton has heen plowed the second time. Planting has finished. Transplanting tobacco was pushed during the week. Some farmers art obliged to water the plants to save them, it being necessary to transplant regardless of the condition of tin ground, on account of the size of the plants. The scarcity of plants will ]cs-? n tile contemplated areu devoted ;< tobacco. Irish potatoes are generally reported to be very poor, almost a failure over a large portion of the State, owing to the dry weather, and are needing more rain everywhere. Potato bugs are re] orted from a number of counties, being most destructive in Charleston county, where some fields are practically ruined by them. drains have made great improvement, but spring onts are generally considered a failure, although 111 places the rains started a vigorous growth.

It is the desire of the board to in crease the drinking of beer in tin place of whiskey as a lesser evil and tt this end they are granting beer privi leges and if those thus far grunted havt a success, they will likely increase tin number. TIIK KRKOKS IN Till*: ACTS. The Secretary of State Says Ho Is Xol Responsible for I'lieiii. Secretary of State Tompkins hni made public the following state' m? nt in regard to the blunder in tin. now Acts, whereby the corporatioi law of 1HKI) was priuted therein for tin new law. Tii reference to the mistake in tin publication of the corporation Ac , I desiro to state that the Secretary 01 State had absolutely nothing to tit with th? publication of tlio Acts. I gave Mr. Brenzenle a copy of flit act of 1 SJh), which I hail printed foi the use of the ollico. If the public printer sent later and was given a copy of the act of 1HSI5, ho should not have been deceived by it, as the date of itn approval by ?T. I'. Richardson, as governor, was printed at the end of the act, and the date of its ratification, with the name of W. I,. Mauldin, president ot' the senate, and Jniuc* Simons, speaker of the house, was also there." In the act of 1HS0 as printed the date is omitted, being the onlj date so omitted, and several amendatory nets are incorporated tin rein. Mr. Tompkins, also calls attention to the new net creating the olliee of code commissioner, which makes it part of that ollicials duties, in section 'J, "to collect and revise all the general statue law of the State now of force as well as that which shall bo pushed frou time to time. NOW FOR , THE CASH. , 1 ? t rilK Clll(;A(iO KXPOSITIOX KXIII HIT MATTKK. ' 1 $tate Commissioner Iloche Imiim a Circular |j?;tter That All South Carolinians Should Read. At the requoet of Commissioner Roche of the South Carolina Exposition company, charged with getting up the exhibit from this State at the Chicago Cotton Exposition, tho following circular letter to tho commissioners of the several counties has been issued from headquarters i? Columbia : Columbia, S. C., May lt?, 18DG. Duaii Sik?A convention of the poople of South Carolina in tho interest of tho State exhibit at the Southoru States exposition in Chicago next fall, was held in the city of Spartanburg in April last, at which tirno it was decided to form tho South Carolina Exposition company. His excellency, the governor of this State, was made president, and Hon. W. A. Courtney vicei president, Mr. E. L. Roche, commissioner, and Messrs. W. A. Clark, J. C. - Hemphill and J. B. Cleveland, with the ollicers named, were constituted the State executive committee. It was also decided to appoiut an active, proj grcssive, mau in each county as the commissioner for his county, who a ill i have charge of the work in the county and who may associate with him such e persons as he dceius best to promote the work. A meeting of the oflieers | 1 of the State exposition company and the commissioners from the different counties was held in Columbia on the Gth inst., for the purpose of consider, ing the best means of pushing this work. The first question considered was tho proper division of the ninouut to bo raised for tho exposition, viz: . $10,000. The following was agreed upon, as a proper apportionment of the funds t< the several counties: Abbeville $105, Aiken $310, Auder1 son $38 J, Barnwell $372, Beaufort $211; Berkeley $302, Charleston $1,210, ("In ster $220, Chesterfield $01, Claredon $151, Colleton $251, l)ar[j lington $221, Fdgelicld $200, Fairfield $211, Florence $215, Georgetown $110, I Greenville $l(i7, Humptou $120, Horr\ $00, Kershaw $158, Lancaster $131, h ' 'Laurens $230, Lexington, 108, Marion $218, Marlboro, $1 10, Newberry $208, .1 Oconee $155, Orangeburg $410, l'iek ens $125, llichland, $413, Saluda $105, V intAs ,iSU13. Sumter $377, d $305. Mr. \\. A. Clark, president of tin y ( arolina National Batik, Columbia, e was elected treasurer of tlie fund, ami l" money should bo forwarded to him Q as soon as collected. Jt is neorssarv t? 'i collect, tuo mans ni once, us the tint* is very short iu which to prepare tin it exhibit. The exhibit will represent all the ree sources of the Stute, and all products, manufactured and unmanufactured, li 0 will be arranged to represent the Stab as a whole, but companies or iudividui als desiring to make special exhibits will bo allowed to do so in the spac*. t: allotted to South Carolina. Each r county or town will get full credit for all articles exhibited by it. i- The duty of the county commissioners will be, first, to see to the col lection of the money assessed to the counties, to assist the State commisf sioner iu securing material for the 1 State exhibit, and to induce mauufacli turers and others to make special cx11 hibits. The commissioner in each if county may appoint such committees a to aid him as he Inula necessary. There s should not bo less than oue in each i township, the commissioners having s charge of all the details in his county. The women of the State are invited to help to raise the money for the general exhibit, as there will be no separate i woman's exhibit. Commissioners may prepare lists of all properties for sale in their respect,i ive counties, as farms, water powers, manufacturing sites, fruit and stock farms, timber and mineral lands, etc., and such lists should be printed for b distribution at the exposition. As this is to be strictly a Southern t exposition it all'ords us au unusual and valuable omiortliuitv to make our re ( sources known t<> tint millions of peot pt? who would never become nwnre of them through other channels. It will advertise our State far more extensive% Iv and elTectivelv than has ever been ^ done by any other means. ^ Wo call upon the people of South > Carolina to zealously improve the ^ chance offered to 1 hem by Chicago's un ( rivaled generosity. That city pays all the expense for buildings and management, , ami the South has only to provide the , exhibits. South Carolina should not be second t to any other State in the clmraeter of her exhibit. II.

At 1:30 Russell entered the hall amid great ipplausc. lie said he had been on the ragted edge for the post forty eight hours. lie mid he thanked his white friends but owed a lebt of deepest gratitude to the Negro voters. He declared he was n<.t In favor of putting property interest under control entirely of non-property holding Interests. He declared he stood for the rights and liberties of Negroes. He had been cradled in the lap of a Negro woman and fed on milk both nutritious aud plentiful. He said all the Negroes wanted whs fair play and a white man's chance. Ho hoped tho fact would bo shown that co-operation was not a failure and he called ou Republicans to appeal frotn the l'opulist committee to the Populist people of the State. He suid: "With tho latter we can and will fuse. The fact tliut their committee rejected fusion does not show tnRi their people will not fuse." He hoped nica?? ures looking to Co-operation would bo adopt* ed. He said that Populist leaders had takca an untenable position and however irritiitwig might he their conduct, ho would never foe get that they gave die Republicans their vie* tory; that the Republican party was one ol the great principles aud would not bo ub sorlied by the Populist party or any other party.
