Jlcu’s. NO. 3 WHITAKER STREET, 040RNI.N0 NEWS BUILDING). J. n. ESTILL, Proprietor. W. T. THOMPSOS, Editor. BA.TCRDAY, JANUARY 1, th£l. 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 lars worth of pictures were saved. The house and contents were valued at SIOO,OOO. Insurance upward* of $50,000. The military correspondent of the Irish Times writes that the authorities contemplate the immediate dispatch of a flying column over the country, as wss done during the Fenian rising. Tne steamer Plowboy, loaded with one hundred bales of cotton, for New Orleans, sunk at Pine Bluff Thursday evening. The boat is a total loss, but efforts are being made to save the cotton. 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 Dullmore House next door, and both houses were destroyed. The loss will aggregate (40,000. A dispatch from Rjme states that the Vatican has sent peremptory commands to certain of the Iri>h Bishops to abstain from language tending to cause the belief that the Pope approves the operations of the Land League. The dally mail train on the Potomac, Fredericksburg and Piedmont Railroad, which left Fredericksburg Wednesday morning, has not yet been ht ard from, all communication being cut oil by the snow. The District Governor of Orenburg, Ras s!a, has resigned because the central au thorities refund to provlie 500,000 rubles to relievo the distress of the inhabitants of the proviatC who are starving to death by the hundred. 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 for the purpose of making an investiga tion of the anti election Chinese riot in that town, in which a number of the Mongolians r.ere so roughly handled, and their houses and property destroyed. He estimates the loss at SIOO,(KW. and has alrcidv secured claims from China men amounting to three-fourths of this sum. The sufferers Beem to have been very moderate in their claims; one third of the loss is credited to money stolen by the mob, another third to linen, etc., belonging to their patrons, aud which 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 ble means, will have to be hereafter 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 small-pox was discovered in Castle Gar den Monday, aud naturally excited a great deal of alarm. The scourge is get ting to be altogether too prevalent in the city, although s' yet it has not de veloped with sufficient virulence to cause fear of an epidemic.” j 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. JIAOEMOISELLK TAKDIVKL, OK WEST 46th street.
