There was; a tremendous clamor iby crowds of jeople this morning for' aamission to the couri where the trial of the bopdlejrs is proceeding. Ain hour be forei tHetime for opening ;the doors hundreds of men were in line for ad mission and with hundreds of others completely : filled the hall-ways, thronged the elevators and extended fat but on the sidewalk. The absorb ing; question was whether any of the eleven defendants would; surrender unconditionally and throw themselves on th mercy of the court. Plainly a mijorjty of the ctowd expected some such move,' but many thought it was to late and that the defendants' only hope jnbw was to fight to the last in th'e belief that some accident would iaTor ihem. As the hour for the: opening of the court approached the- interest grew absolutely feverish. At last, above the buzz of voices, was heard; the sound of many footsteps. The boodlerf were coming in. With out exception their faces were set and jhite. Thef expectation that mpre iof the defendants would plead goilty 'W84 hot realized. : After Mr. Grinhell said, "The Slate rests' Alexander Sullivan, attorney for the defence, immediately began the intro duction of testimony as to the char acter iof the men on trial. The very first witness was millionaire Nelson Morris a packer. He swore that Mc Carthy and Lynn had good reputa tions; ; Morris was not cross-exam-ined.1 . ' ' j Tbc mecr and the Brit Ub.

In addition to this con sideration, he said it had been his purpose to feel free to absent himself from the Capitol and the White House as : he. should feel disposed during this month and to make no engage- mentB which would require ' his presence at any stated .time, it is probable that he will leave here dur ing the last days of September and so directly to St Louis and from! there ito Kansas City, Si Paul, Min neapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Nash ville and Atlanta.

Washington, D.;C, July 31 The following is the weather crop bulletin of the Signal omce for the week end ing July 30: Temperature During the week the weather has been warmer than usual from the southern New England and MMdle Atlantic States westward to the Rocky Mountains, the average daily ex cess being about three decrees. It was slightly cooler than usual in the eastern portion of the cotton States, and from Dakota westward to the Jul the averftge daily temperature WJ aboUt three degrees above the throughout the northern States, and it was from two to three degrees cooler than usual in the Gulf States. During !j the season, from January 1st to JJ 30th, it has been warmer than usual in the ; agricultural districts east of the Rocky 5 Mountains, except in the South : Atlantic States northern New England, and near Lake Supe- nor. in tne last-named district tne daily temperature averaged from two to foir degrees below the normal. RainfallDuring the week there has been an excess of rainfall in the States bordering on the Atlantic and m t m rt - a r a t in tne uuu otaieB, juinnesota, Da kota and northern Nebraska. These excessive rains have been accompanied by severe local I storms, reslltihg in injury to the growing crops ana re tarding the harvest. In the central valleys and the lake region less than the usual amount of rain occurred and the drought continues in . the belt extending: from Ohio . west ward to j Iowa and Kansas. Dur ing the month of July the rain fall was generally in exeess in the states on the Atlantic coast, through out the cotton belt in the extreme orthwest and in portions of the up- r Lake region. In all other sec tions there has been less than the sua! amount I of rain during the onth, and probably less than one- alf the usual amount throughout the orn belt. The large seasonal ae- ciency of rainfall in the cotton re- on east of the Mississippi has been eatly reduced during the month, hile the seasonal deficiency in he central ' Mississippi valley has en increase i General remarks. Reports for the eek show that the weather has been nfavorable for staple crops in many ections. Excessive rains and severe local storms' have probably resulted I in injury to the cotton crop from Ala- bama eastward, but from Mississippi westward and In North Carolina the weather was reported as favorable fof this crop. Excessive heat and the absence of rain throughout the corn belt has affected this crop unfavor ably, and reports from Ohio, Michi gan, Indiana and thence westward to Kansas indicate tnat tne orougnt nas unfavorably affected the corn and po tato crops. In the Middle Atlantic and New England States the weather has been favorable to corn, but ex cessive rains! have injured hay and oats. In Minnesota, Dakota and Ne braska the weather has been generally favorable to till the crops and harvest ing is in progress as far north as the 47th parallel, Pablfe Debt Statement.

The loss iu me cibjr irum uigu wawjr wui reacu a Hundred tnousand dollars, me loss to planters cannot be . esti mated. It involves almost a total destruction of the crops in the Savan nah valley. The river is falling rapidly. Augusta has narrowly escaped a great calamity; more than three fourths of the city was covered with water from one to six feet deep. The greatest damage is to the streets and sewers, and not much to ropertv in the city. Some industries suffered and there will be a loss from the stop ping of the mills; but it is impossi ble to estimate the loss. to different interests. The city will be the great est loser in the damage to the canal and to the streets. Tne water is re ceding rapidly from the main streets except upper .Greene street, where the break occurred in the third levee of the canal. "The business portion of the cityjwas not flooded at all. All fears have disappeared and every one is thank ful that there has been no loss of life and comparatively small damage to property, when the extent of the ca lamity threatened is considered. All day Sunday the inundated portions of the city were navigated by boats. Ferries were established at the street corners and boatmen did a profitable business in rowing citizens from one part to another. The indications now are' favorable The clcuds have dis appeared and a pleasant breeze pre vails, which will soon dry up the streets. There has been no interrup tion of business except with the fac tories and shops. Travel has been interrupted by washouts, but the reg ular trains will soon be resumed on all the roads. Xat3b. The flood has nearly subsid ed. .The loss will not exceed $50,000. The damage to the canal is not as great as at first reported. Some mills will be running in a few days. The heavy rains have beaten the cotton into the ground. . On the evening of the 29th the heaviest rain ever recorded in that section commenced to fall at Augusta, Ga. The rain fall was 1.17 inches in twenty-iour nours. Tne river rose at the rate of a foot an hour. A night special was sent on the 31st, saying: Tne river is rising at the rate Of a foot an hour and now measures 15 feet at the bridge.; All the low land! is already flooded and the loss up to this hour will amount to many thousand dollars. , The water is within a few inches of the hulls of the new steamboats on the river bank, and it is feared they will be washed away. Many : hands are now at work crowding iron on to to save them. At 12 o'clock tonight the river reg istered twenty-six feet and was still rising at the rate of fourteen inches an hour. All crops in the river bot torn have been ruined, and it is esti mated that the loss will be half a mil lion dollars. The new river steamer is entirely under water, and it is feared that it will have to be con structed over. All the upper and southern portions of the city are in undated and the people are moving from their houses. The river is still rising slowly, and if it continues until night it is feared the whole city win be under water. J Authr InTltatlon. Enoxvillx, Tenn., August 1.

The recent death of a man so hon ored and esteemed as Col. John W. Cuningham will it of some notice other than it hi received some mention of the qa ties of head and I heart by which hi acquired such a widespread and urable popularity, and won the esteem of all honorable men. - : He was born in the county of Per son, on tne otn :oi ueoruary, ibzu, and with the exception of a few years, when he resided on a neigh boring plantation, lived and died on the; spot where he was born. , After being graduated at the University of North Carolina he betook himself to nlantincr. For this calling he was well adapted by a good constitution, sound judgment, great energy and high principle. The plan tation of which, he took possession was large ana valuable, put some what worn, and the buildings dilapi dated. There were, moreover, two creeks which ran through the land emptying into a larger creek on the side. Here.for years was ; his resi dence and after building,! ditching and other improvements, he made it one of the most productive estates and pleasant homes in the country. The example thus afforded of skill, diligence and taste redounded to the interest of the whole county. After the war and the act of eman cipation, he continued to farm for some two years on the old plan, but the receipts not equalling his expec tations he rented out his land and removed to the plantation which his father had held during his life. Here he occupied himself with ' hia public duties, with the superintendence of his lands, and the management of his money affairs. Simultaneously with his graduation the politics of his county afforded a fair field for distinction. The con tests of those days were: somewhat bitter and protracted. He entered into them with warmth. His first canvass was one of more than usual heat and he was elected by a good ma jority, and this majority increased from term to term aa-lomr as inained in public -life. This his first triumph waa she key note of his -political career. -From-, the session of 1844 he serve 1 continuously in the House of Commons first, then !a th Senate nntU the .'Tear 188a Him uniform success testified ito the) do- session of high qualities.

His circumstances placed him in creditor relations with many of his neighbors. Nothing could have been more generous than his cond in this regard. After the war, know ing the loss and ruin 'which it hid cted, he asked what they could pay and accepted it without demur. Throughout life his conduct was of a piece with this. He was alwas kind and considerate. To the poor he was ever a sympathetic but discriminating friend. Always fortunate, he was pecu liarly so in his marriage. He married. Miss Martha Helen, daugh ter of John Somerville, of Warren county. This lady- was as lovely in character as she was beau- r tiful in person. Her influence upon her husband was most marked, par-' ticularly in all that was elevating and refining. Above all it was under her j , gentle mimstzfEhons that he became a Christian and attached himself to the Episcopal church. She was loved and admired by all 'who knew her in every class of life, and 'presided most gracefully over the efer hospitable home of her husband!
