WEDNESDAY, MAT 34, !«*«. - VAN SLYICK, Alitor. FOR LIEl'XtSAST.ODVEUNOR Among the many candidates raen- med iuootmectlon with the office of lieutenant Governor, perhaps none is l*or« favorably spoken of than tb« IMnie of the llos^A. M. JOXRJ* , of Jo. Davis County. When a member of the 28th General Assembly, as chairman of the Commit­ tee on contingent expenses, he justly •arneti the title of "The Watch l>og of £ie Treasury.1' llis unflinching devo­ tion to economy and his earnest regard Ibr the interests of tax-payers was ac­ knowledged by all. And no less was he ©onspicious in the 29th Assembly. With his party colleagues a minority In tlic Housed he brought to bear a vigor of mind, and honesty of jiurpose fctvserve the interests of the whole peo-- file, unsurpassed by any. With Jones as presiding officer of the Senate, corruption and corruptionists •wouid be in bad order in the upper House of our State Legislature. If the coming Republican State Con­ vention does no worse work than nom­ inating the Hon. A. M. Jones for Lieu­ tenant Governor, it will be entitled to the respect .and gratitude of tha w4*ol« people of the State.

Illinois prowitset well; In a Few counties the wheat threatens t© prove a failure, but Uy far the majority of tht reports are encouraging. Peach­ es were injured l»v the cold spell dull­ ing March, but apples and nearly *11 varieties of small fruit look well and promiae an abundant yield. Michigan and Pennsylvania report excellent pros­ pects for all klndi of crops; Michigan expects an nbundaut yield <of every­ thing. In Indiana, whiter and spring have proved unfavorable for winter wheat and peaches, but apples and email fruits generally appear to be thriving. Returns from 57 points In Ohio as to the condition of the crops, indicate that peaches are totally de­ stroyed or badly injured. Of the other fruits 15 report that the Indications are favorable for good drops, 21 fair, 21 badly injured;wheat--24points report good crop®, 11 f^Jr, 22 badly iujured. Fifty points in Indiana indicate that peaches are badljT injured; other fruits 27 good, 12 fair, 11 badly injured; wheat --10 good, 15 fair, 25 badly injured. jgrThe County Conventioti^foir the purpose of choosing delegates to at­ tend the State Convention, which is to be held at Springfield the 24th inst., will be held at Woodstock on Saturday next.1 Most of the Caucuses have al­ ready been held, and as; far as we can learn but fe\<% if any, of the delegates have been instructed. This is as it should be. No^let the delgates go there with but one object 5w view. To represent the views 6f a majority of their constituents, and see tli3t the King master® nolonger ron the affairs of the Coanty on the one man power principle. For years the list of dele­ gates to the State Convention from this County have been made out by the ring weeks before the County Conven­ tion. and the Convention has met merely to endorse what the Ring had boasted •was a foregone conclusion. Now it^this farce p to be enacted this year, what pray is the use of-a Convention at all? • We believe, however, the people we awake to their true interest, atid if eo all will be well. HfoSfDispatches from Madison on the 26th«lt., show that ex-Gov. Taylo^has got into Jiot water again. The Legis­ lative Committee appointed to investi­ gate executive expenses for the last folir years has been examining ^counts and vouchers, hut filling none for many of Taylor's charges, subpeened "Our Billy" tp appear before It. What the result will be cannot, of course, be told now, but it promises to be wry interesting before it is finished. GREENWOOD ETNTTW 1 'I.

Tbe last cottott crop, now being mtrkefied, has already reached to 3,878,009 bales, and will probably reach an aggregate of 4^00,000. There has been an in­ crease of 440,000 bales exported over tbe preceding crop.
