TtPPOKi THE WIRKsi
The New York £bening Expicas, in Its
annual review of the past year’s business,
says that it has been the most remarkable
one in the history o? the country. During
its progress more railroads have been built,
more freight and passengers have been
transported, more money earned, and more
interest and dividends paid, than in any
former year. This happy condition of
ailur3 is attributed to good crops, the
growth of the country, the heavy influx of
gold from abroad, and the complete restora
tion of confidence, the outgrowth of the
success of the resumption of specie pay
ments.
The summer residence of James D.
Keene, of Newport, was destroyed by fire
yesterday morning. Several thousand dol

The military correspondent of the Irish
Times writes that the authorities contemplate
the immediate dispatch of a flying column

The attendance at court at the trial of the
traversers ia Ireland was much fuller yes
terday than on preceding days. The At
torney General resumed his address, In
which he stated that the principles taught
by the agitators were called American
principles, but they were more properly to
be called Red Ilepubliean'sm and Nihilism.
When he concluded there was no manifesta
tion of any kind. Three hundred land
meetings are to bo held on Sunday next.
Neither Mr. Parnell nor any of the traversers
will participate in them, however. A large
meeting of land owners aud tenant farmers
was held at Enniskillen, county Fermagb,
yesterday, at which the Land League was
denounced.
The Windsor Hotel of Atlantic City
caught on fire yesterday from the heater in
the cellar. The flames soon spread to the

The anti Conkling men aie felicitating
themselves upon the fact that several
burdens have lately been placed upon
the shoulders of the “senior Senator,”
that may prove to overweight hi n. The
recent attempt to provide a iund for ex
President Grunt and its failure, and his
supposed connection w ith the Sprague
divorce case, taken together with his
unnecessary antagonism to the ad
ministration, to say nothing of his sup
posed attempt to dictate terms to the New
Y'ork Central Railway and thus prevent
the election of Dcpewtot.be Senate, may
aggregate too great a load to ire success
fully borne. He has arrived at a stage
of the political game when a defeat in
any one'of his plans will weaken his
power, and when his grasp’ upon the
political management of New York is
once loosened, he will very rapidly lose
the power that he has so long held by
autocratic force of character and by in
spiring his subjects with a wholesome
fear of him and his methods.
Granges Advice to Southern Plan
xers. —A correspondent of the Patron
of Husbandry, in urging Southern plan
ters to raise as much as possible their
own food supplies, says: “On the 10th
of last June I planted five and a half
acres in corn, and paid sll 50 to culti
vate and gather it; aud it cost me eight
cents per bushel in the crib. I sold to a
neighher one hundred bushels of this
corn for SBS; he paid me money that he
got for his cotton at eight cents net—
that is he gave ine Hi pounds of cotton
for a bushel of com. Now, a good man
with proper tools and a good team can
raise and put in the crib 2,000 bushels
of corn, and if he could exchange it at
the same price that I got he would get
bales of cotton, averaging 400
pounds each.”
The Oklahoma invaders now claim
that they do not wish or intend to en
croach upon the Indian reservation fur
ther than to cross a strip fifty-seven miles
in width, in order that they may settle
upon certain lands held by the United
States Government and containing about
14,000,000 acres of arable land, from
which the Indians heinselvea have been
debarred by legislation attached to the
appropriation bills. If the government
persists m denying them this privilege—
or right, as they term it—then they pro
pose to go through, even though an In
dian war should follow. Several Con
gressmen from Kansas, Arkansas, 3lis
souri and Texas are said to be heart and
eoul with the enterprise. Trouble may
be looked for.
Consul Bee, who represents China in
San Francisco, La3 just visited Denver

He estimates the loss at SIOO,(KW. and
has alrcidv secured claims from China
men amounting to three-fourths of this

very moderate in their claims; one third
of the loss is credited to money stolen
by the mob, another third to linen, etc.,

was lost in the riot, while their claims
for houses, personal property, etc.,
amounts to less than $25,000.
The African King of Uganda, of whose
conversion to Christianity the veracious
Btanley was, under Providence, the hum

known as Mtesa, the Apostate. The
royal savage has backslidden. Even
Mohammedanism doesn’t suit him. He
has relapsed into utter heathenism, and
threatens to massacre all the missionaries
he can lay hold of.
The Smali.-Pox in New Y'ork —The
New York Express says: “A case of

city, although s' yet it has not de
veloped with sufficient virulence to cause

1881.
Old Father Time has completed
another of his cycles called years, and,
having bid farewell to 1880, wc to day
enter upon the new year 1881.
The year just passed has been a re
markable one. Though characterized by
peace aud prosperity throughout nearly
the entire globe, it ha3 nevertheless wit
nessed some important scenes, which
may materially affect the world's his
tory ia the near future. It
has seen iu Europe a complete change
in the character of the government
of Great Britain, and the inauguration
of an agitation in that realm which, be
fore it ends, will probably result in
material changes iu old established
customs and laws, if ia nothing more
serious. Ia America, we have been
blessed wifli good crops, a revival of
business on & solid basis and general pros
perity which continues unabated to the
present moment. Besides this, we
have passed through an exciting politi
cal canvass, and have witnessed the
election of another Chief Magistrate of
the Union, to be inaugurated early in
the present year, and whose administra
tion will perhaps play an important part
in determining the destiny of the conn
try. Therefore, though not specially
marked by excitement or sensation, in
the year 1830 the foundation for a future
of unusual interest has been laid.
1881 is ushered in amid circumstances
well calculated to inspire hope in the
entire country; but especially in the
South. Throughout the past season our
farmers have produced, in the main,
good crops, for which they have re
ceived satisfactory prices, aud, as a re
suit, they have prospered, and their good
fortune has made itself felt throughout
our section. But this is by no means the
most important event which has tran
spired to inspire the South with hope for
the future. Tbc peculiar circumstances
surrounding the receut Presideniial elec
tion have opened the eyes of the South
ern people to their true interests. Here
tofore they have been relying too much
—in fact almost entirely—upoa su ppos
ed frieuds at the North. These supposed
fricuds deserted them at the very
moment when their alliance and
friendship were counted on, and
this desertion has taught the
people of our section that they must
henceforth rely on themselves. It Las
further caused them to realize that they
contain within themselves the means of
true independence, aud has given rise to
a determination to develop their re
sources and guard well their material
interests. If this determination is well
taken aud adhered to, the South will
have no cause to regret the treachery
to which we have alluded, and one year
hence will see her on the high road to
wealth and power.
We can, therefore, enter upon the year
just begun with a feeling of confidence
and hope. Trusting that a kind and
beneficent Providence will watch over
our common country, and permit this
hope to be speedily lest in fruition, and
assuring our readers that the News will
faithfully strive to do its part towards
bringing about so happy a consumma
tion, we wish them all a Happy New
Year.
Colonel McClure’s. Letters.
We have published several of the let
ters of Colonel A. K. McClure, of the
Philadelphia Tines, during his recent
Southern tour. Without exception, so
far as we have seen, these letters arc all
well written, and have not only proven
interesting and instructive, but have, for
the first lime, made public facts regard
ing this section which must open the
eyes of the Northern people to the true
condition of affairs in ihe South, and the
falsity of the charges which have been
so frequently made against us by our
stalwart enemies.
His last letter was written from Cin
cinnati, and is a summing up of the im
pressions created by his Southern tour.
In it he speaks of the present political
disposition of our people, the past dif
ficulties with which they have had to
contend, and the prospects of vast
wealth and material prosperity in store
for them iu the future, together with
“the supreme want and greatest peril”
of the South. It is probably the most
interesting of the series, and is ar?
follows:
“The South is not animated by partisan hos
tility to the coming President. On the con
trary, there is every disposition to commend
r.ne support cordially and to blame with re
luctance. There is no desire tocommand the
spoils of power, but there is an earnest and al
most universal desire for peace—that peace
that honest government should ever give to
an honest people. The supreme want of the
South is a thoroughly competent and upright
civil service, aud ihat should net be sought as
a favor from any faithful President. It is not
only a matter a right to every section, but it
is a matter of imperative duty on the part of
the government.
“A vast preponderance of tho turbulence
that baa disgraced the Sonth during the last
deeada has been created by characterless, un
scrupulous and often reckless: y dishonest Fed
eral officials. United States Judges have been
appointed because of their bitter hostility to
the South, who would not be charged with
the administraiion of justice in the Sorih.
Marshals have been selected mainly for their
wiiiiugness to prostitute their official power
to foment sectional strife, to oppress un
offending citizens anl to pollute elections.
Postmasters have been appointed who were
utterly incompetent, in some instances living
unable to read or write, merely because they
were potential in demoralizing and controll
ing the ignorant blacks. Customs and reve
nue officers have been selected to make ihe
collection of revenue secondary to the corrupt
control of elections. United States Commis
sioners have united with District Attorneys
and Marshals to plunder the government by
the wautoa vexation of struggling business
interests in tha South, aud tr.e special agencies
of the government ate crowded with noted
criminals as rewards fornoted political crimes.
In sevsral of the Southern States I found con
victs. fugitives and outlaws oujoying tho pa
tronage of the administration, and inviting
public contempt for government and law by
their shameless distinction. This Wot—not
upon the South, but upon the North, whose
administration is guilty of its creation-has
lasted with more or less prominence for a doz
en years, and it has been the most fruitful cf
all tho many fruiiful sources of sectional tur
bulence.
“The one great peril to the Sourii, for which
I can see no immediate remedy, is the now in
evitable division of tho white vote of the
South, and the certain appeal of contending
factions to the blacks as the arbiter of < is
puthig ambition. 1 have until recently shared
the very general belief of the North, that the
division of the white vote of the South must
be fortunate for the black voters, as it would
create rivalry in extending the fullest protec
tion to the blacks. lam now thoroughly con
vinced against g!l pty wishes, that the neces
sary and now near division of tho whjtea will
be fruitful of great demoralization to both
racoa. aud that it will be the severest trial of
the wisdom of universal suffrage. There is
now nothing to demora ize the black man, or to
divert him from his industry and the educa
tion of his children. He is rapidly becoming
the owner or lessee of lands, and Is his own
farmer, and is, i|) many instances, accumulit
ieg wealth with habits of industry' bid when
the white man locks b or us with his fellow in
the battle of ambition, the most artful d-ina
g gues will bpst control the ignorant frerdmen
and the degradation of both paces must fo low.
The factory and the school must be the great
civilizer of the South, and I am glad to see
that Northern and Southern Radicals agree In
the United States Senate In nationalizing edu
cation. It is needed iu the South to an extent
far beyond what is generally understood in the
North, and there will be no material elevation
of the black raen qqtiltbe ignorant classes of
bzth whites and blacks can ba educated.
There is cordial sympathy, as a rule, between
the intelligent whites and the blocks—much
more than there is between the whites and
blacks in tho North.
“The manufacturers of the North must soon
go South with their cotton spindles and looms,
and those who go earliest will reap the richest
harvest. Those who say that capital is nos
safe in the South either know not what they
say or mean to be untruthful. In every South
ern State there is a supreme desire to have the
factory everywhere that the raw materia is
furnished. The cotton crop of this year will
bo worth three hundred millions of dollars, and
when simply spun into yarn will be worth near
ly three hundred millions more Where in all tr o
world is there so wide and so tempting a field
for legitimate enterprise and large profits? I
believe that half the whole cotton product will
he spuu in the South before another ten years,
and ikC fUO&eedlng decade will furnish South
ern factories for foe entire crop.”
It adds to the terrors of the approach
ing Sprague divorce suit that the ex-
Governor has engaged General B. F.
Butler as one of his counsel. It is safe
to say no prurient detail of the forthcom
ing scandal will escape the malevolent
ingenuity of this notorious advocate.
THE WORM-PJIOOF COTTON.
Mr, L. C. Whitt** Wonderful Dl
covcrjr of W'bicb mo Mach la Heine
Said— W here It Grown, Hour U Ma
ture* aud What the People Think
of 11.
Jasper (Texas) Newsboy.
This worm proof, extia prolific, rapid
growing and early maturing cotton,
whose fame has already spread through
out the American continent, and beyond
llie seas among the French and English
and in Spain and ludia, was grown and
mixed with native weeds in the quiet
litile village of Jasper.
The land on which this cotton was
grown has been in cultivation ever since
1824, and is said to be the first spot of
land ever cleared and cultivated in Jas
per county. The land (not by any
means a fair representation of East Texas
so;!, for we have much better) is a sandy
hillside, with a slope of about six feet
in a distance of seveuty-five yards, aud
is too poor for anything but goober peas,
grapes and hybrid cotton.
Mr. White first begau experimenting
with the hybridizing method in 1562,
since which time he has made a success
of his undertaking, and has given it the
test on every hand, it bearing out even
beyond his most sanguine expectations.
The cotton has now been thoroughly
hybridized for three years, each crop
ping season of which a crop has been
raised, and though worms have ravaged
the cotton farms in close proximity to it,
and worms have been placed on the
growing plant, they have never dined
upon its foliage.
Mr. White has gathered one hundred
and eighty two matured, open bolls from
one staik of the second crop of this sea
son, which is elaborately explained in
the following, which appeared in the
Newsboy about two months since:
“The hybrid cotton is all right. A
Newsboy r< porter strolled around to Mr.
White’s garden, a few evenings since,
and was shown a large cotton stalk,
which sports something over 200 bolls,
blooms aud squares, of which about 75
bolls will mature and open within the
next ten days. The interesting feature
of this plant is the fact that it has grown
from seeds that were raised this year—
the first planting being on the 4th of
April last, and the whole crop matured,
opened and was gathered by the 15th of
August, and the second planting, from
which grew the stalk which is the sub
ject of this article, was made in July
from seeds gathered of first planting.
Mr. White also has a young plant from
seeds of the second crop, making the
young plant the third growth of this
season. Of course the young plant can
not mature cotton before frost, but it is
something strictly new to sec cotton of
ihe third generation, each of the same
season.
The following, which is somewhat
complimentary to the grade of lint pro
duced by the hybrid cotton, we clip from
the Galveston News, of 1870;
“Mr. L. C. White, of Jasper. Jasper
county, Texas, sends Mr. A. G. Mills,
Secretary of the Galveston Cotton Ex
change, two samples of worm-proof lint
cotton, to be submitted to the Classifica
tion and Quotation Committee for their
views, etc.; the samples are numbered
one and two. The committee, after a
careful inspection of the samples, reports
both staples of fair length, remarkable
strength, aud very silky—No. 2 the best.
This cotton has been produced by Mr.
White after some sixteen or seventeen
years of labor and study, by amalga
mating ordinary cotton with a weed—
the weed and his process are his secret.
* * * Mr. White further states that
the weed with which this cotton is mixed
was never known to be eaten by wor.m
or insect of any kind.”
Tiie writer examined the cotton grow
ing; the stalks were large and healthy, a
brownish red color, the leaf resembling
ordinary cotton, with a very rank weed
odor; the bolls were larger than ordinary
cotton, and well filled with lint. In the
centre of each boll there is a small pod
containing evidently the seed of the
weed. When the boll is fully opened,
this pod of seed is also opened, and the
seed drops out, leaving the lint cottou in
the boll. The bolls will all mature
within a few days of each other. This
the planter could remedy by planting at
different times. Mr. W. says the cotton
can be picked within one hundred day3
after planting. Mr. White has taken
stalks of ordinary cottou with the cot
ton worm at work on them, placed them
iu and alongside of his cotton, so that
the worm could easily get ou his cotton,
but in no instance did they cut any of
the leaves, sta’ks or bolls of bis cotton.
He lias gathered the worms from the
other cotton stalks and placed them on
his cotton with the same result, and
feels very confident that no worm will
ever touch it.
Tlie following little “squib," showing
what the leading journals of America
think of the hybridised staple, we clip
from the New Y’ork Cotton, of Septem
ber, 1880;
“Mr. YVhite, of Jasper, Tex., sends us
a sample of the lint from his worm
proof cotton, for which he has applied
for a patent. The sample may be seen
at the office of Cotton. In addition to
its worm proof qualities, it is a remark
ably fine staple.”
Mr. John D. Defrees is the United
States Public Printer, llis receut re
port to the President of theSeuate shows
that the actual expenditures for printing,
binding, engraving, lithographing, etc.,
for the government during tbc fiscal
year ending June 11071881), amounted to
$2,034,750. The amount expended for
paper alone was $435,730; for litho
graphing and engraving, $140,507, and
for binding, $155,503. The public
printing and binding is enormously in
creasing, and Mr. Defrees calls for en
larged facilities.
The Washington correspondent of the
New Y’ork Graphic says that Senator
Conkling will remain in Washington
during the holidays, for the purpose of
arguing cases before the Supreme Court.
At the reassembling of Congress he will
rise to a question of privilege, and bring
up the Dover speech of Senator Bayard's.
It is reported that ho will treat the mat
ter iu a most drastic manner, and will
cover other matters as well as the
I'helps, Dodge & Cos. charges. It is
charged that Bayard has not been
friendiy towards Conkling for several
years.
The Chicago Tribune thinks it worth
while to show that Weaver's claim that
the Gicen back party has been gaining
strength lately rests on no solid foun
dation. It shows thatjthe Greenbackers,
in the past two years have fallen off in
votes in every Stato of the Union, the
decrease in ten States beipg 284,171, the
average loss being 00 per cent. If
Weaver’s party keeps on growing at
that rate there will be none of it left in
1882.
England presents a very btyd recard of
railroad horrors for the past year (
amounting to 831 persons killed out
right and 4,781 wounded. This is a
heavier loss than the English suffered at
many a hard fought battle. The excuse
given for this heavy mortality, and the
explanation qf tho foot that so many
more persons are injured on railroads
than in this or any other country, is that
English trains move much more rapidly
than American ones.
Crooked work is charged in the Bos
ton municipal election, the charges as
suming the form of a direct accusation
that the vote was fraudulently manipu
lated in many precincts, in the hope of
electing Mr. Stebbins Mayor. It is
claimed that in one precinct of ward 14
he got 120 votes which belonged to Mr.
Prince, and that in ward 13 250 Prince
ballots were stoleu.
