COTTON IN KANSAS.
The Parsons, Kansas, Sun estimates
that iu the counties of its immediate sac
tion of Kansas several thousand bales of
cotton have been raised this year and
that next year there will be ginned and
shipped from Parsons at least 5,000 bales.
It gives the names of a number of farm
ers in it* own and surrounding cmmt.es
who thi. year planted from 10 to 80 acres
each, and a ,ys that, the results have been
very gratify ing—that the fact has been
fully demons! ratea that cotton can be
grown t lere wii pro .

In traveling through the control por
tions of Missouri, a number of years ago.
w. saw little patches of cotton which the
farmers had planted for their own home
us., and we do not remember seeing
any in which the plants would average
over » foot in height on their rich lands
in the fall. This dwarfish size and small
production was no doubt owing to the fact
that they relied on the great fertility of
the soilaloue and did not add the stimu
lou» of a fertilizer. But even then some
of them used stable manure to stimulate
the early growth of their sweet potato
v'nes, without which the season was con
Bidered too short for the crop, and we
suppose that (hey have now exteuded the
early .tiraulating process to cotton.
Our pianters of “the belt” must avail
them*»ives of improved methods of oul
tore, and especially with a view to the
production ol more cotton to the ncre, or
they will he “crowded” by the progressive
enterprise of sections heretofore consider,
cd too far North for profitable cotton cul¬
ture. Wo look upon tho Grango organi
zatio. as an instrumentality that may be
made greatly productive of the uocossary
improvement.
THE BANKRUPT ACT.
Senator Gordon, who is now in Atlanta,
is reported by a Ilerald interviewer as
having expressed the opinion that Con¬
gress would not only repeal the involun¬
tary provisions of the Bankrupt law, but
would make the repeal retroactive, so as
to stop proceedings in involuntary bank¬
ruptcy already commenced. The Wash
ington reporter of the New York Herald
thinks it safe to say, from conversations
with Senators, lhat a majority of them,
instead of agreeing with the House in a
total repeal of the Bankruptcy act, are in
favor of amending it in such particulars
us will guaul tho debtor fiom the exac¬
tions of a small minority of his creditors,
leaving the question of involuntary bank¬
ruptcy to he determined by those more
largely interested. The Senate Committee
on the Judiciary will give the subject their
consideration during tho holiday recess.
Numerous petitions and letters have been
received from all parts of tho country,
pointing out means by which relief may
be afforded both to the debtor and credi¬
tor classes.
TRA NS POR TA TION COMMITTEE.
The Atlanta papers of Thursday report
the arrival and the reception of the Sen¬
ate's Committee ou Transportation. The
most satisfactory statement o? what was
done on Thursday is afforded by a special
dispatch to the Savannah Hews, which
ssysthat the committee opened its session
at 9 o’clock, and Col. Frobel read an elab¬
orate report ou transportation generally,
concluding with a strong appeal for the
Tennessee nnd Ogeechee Canal, The
committee then listened with marked at¬
tention to the fsets presented by Col. P.
H. Itaiford, in favor of the Gulf Coast
Water Line. Though the last of fire pro¬
posed routes-to be considered by the com¬
mittee, the Gulf Coast Line w ill doubtless
become the first in their report as regards
Cost and utility.
The famine iu Bengal is creating much
npprehension in England and elsewhere.
Of the 60,000,066 people of Bengal, it is
said that 24,600,600 rue threatened with
starvation! The Loudon Economist says
that the reports of this impending famine
in Bengal which have been coming m
since the hist a arm was sounc ei, a\e
crystalizad into a conviction that a calami
ty without a parallel in the history of
British India must fall upon the most
populous and most helpless province" of
that Emp re, and that it may seriously
affect _ the , revenues of * vs England. i j ti. Jt ; is
well that the British authorities on the
ground are preparing for the emergency,
for the famine and pestilence in Bengal
may be followed by mutiny and another
Indian war.

NE W MEXICO.
A Smta Fe letter says that the great
body of tho Logihlature of New Mexico
and all its offi ,'ers are natives of the Mex¬
ican race. There are only seven “Ameri¬
cans,” or natives of the State, in the Leg¬
islature. Tho writer, however, does not
impute this fuel to any prejudioe of race,
hut says:
The American population is very small,
and the natives in many instances can
vote for no othor than men of their own
nationality. It in not denied that there is
some degree of prejudice inherent in the
natives against tho new comers. On the
educational question, for instance, the
natives and the immigrants can not agree.
1’he old settlers are not very great admi¬
rers of public schools, and the difference
tu language preveuls a full understanding
between tho two classes. Religion, too,
Uas its influence, but not to the extent
which might be expected. If there is a
perfectly indifferent being ns to religious
matters, it is the average New Mexican
male toped. The native population are
an entirely different people to those en
countered in any other territory of the
Gmred States. It is coni pored of as het¬
erogeneous elements as can well be imag¬
ined. A mixture of three raceB—Span¬
ish, nogro and Indian. It will require a
»eavy immigration to overcome the stand¬
still policy of these shiftless people. It
may sound strange, but it is true never¬
theless, that there are more poverty and
degradation among the people of this
sparsely settled oountry, in proportion to
numbers, than cau lie found in any of the
centres of population iu the Slates.
Taxing Power of the States.- The
Supreme Court of the United State" in
the appeal of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company against the Treasurer of Lin¬
coln county, Neb., resisting a county tax
levy on the property of tho road, has de¬
cided that the taxing power of a State is
independent of tho Constitution of the
United States, and that as an attribute of
sovereignty, it may be exercised over all
properly and business within the bounda¬
ries of ihe Slate, except in no far as it
may have been surrendered to the Feder¬
al Government. Tho couuty tax on the
Union Pacific railroad is therefore valid.
Justice Strong delivered the majority
opinion of the Court, but Justice Bradley
filed a dissenting opiuion, in which the
tax of the Union Pactfio road is held to be
an unlawful interference with instrumen¬
talities created iu this case by the Gener¬
al Government.
Mrs. Webb, of Melbourne, has publish¬
ed a pamphlet, entitled the Woman's Ad¬
vocate, in which she recommends that a
bill should be introduced into Parliament
for establishing a widow’s fund, contribu¬
ted to by every husband, that no widow
may be left destitute. Also a maiden's
fund, to which all bachelors must contrib¬
ute. that no maidens may be left destitute
after forty.

PHILADELPHIA NEWS.
Philadelphia, Dec. 26. —Christmas was
generally observed and no diminution in
amount of money spent notwithstanding
recent troubles.
Most of the cotton and woolen factories
are in full operation at reduced wages.
The carpet manufactories, with veiy few
exceptions, are all closed; owing p inci
pally to a difference existing between the
weavers and manufacturers, caused by the
latter making a rednetion in the price of
weaving of two cents per yard. The man¬
ufacturers, as a general thing, say that
the price of carpets has been reduced so
much and sales so low that they are not
very anxious to start up, even if the men
would agree to work at the proposed re
duotion.
