Snaday night the corn crib on Bazeniore’s
l atlahassee place* in AV’est Dougherty, con
taining about 200 bushels of corn and 3,000
pounds of fielder, was destroyed by tire. D.
E. Nelms, who runs the place, had' reason to
believe that the building was set on fire, and
at once suspected Andrew Green and Ike
Morion, tsitli colored, as the incendiaries
Green liven on the place, and Morton was a
loafer. Mr. Nelms arrested both men at
Green’s house before day Monday morning,
ani carrieu them before Justice Dozier, at
Ducket station, charging them with incen
diari-m. He failed to prove the charge, how
ever, whereupon he swore out another war
rant against them charging them with steal
ing cotton. Upon this latter charge Judge
IKizier hound them over. The charge of in
cendiarism will not be dropped.
The Barnesville Gazette savs: “Dr. J. C. C.
Blackburn showed us an olil rusty iron key
last week which has a record that we give as
-lated by the doctor. During the war North
c.i-t Kentucky was largely Union in senti
ment. I nder the infamous Bur bridge, com
panies of Union Home Guards were organized
in every county, that burnt the property of
Southern sympathizers, drove the men avvav
from home aud insulted tlicir wives and
daughters. Not only this, they shot down
in cold blood every Confederate" soldier that
dared return home to visit friends.
Among the latter were many of ‘Mor
gan's men.' Gen. Morgan determined to
suppress this hellish barbarity. He dashed
into Grayson. Carter county, Ky., and cap
tured 35 of Capt. Davis' Home Guards, he
unfortunately escaping. Gen. Morgan with
his own hands locked them up in Grayson
jail, and the next morning took them out and,
in war parlance, ‘lost them.’ Gen. Garfield
learning this fact a few days afterward
ordered the jail burnt. This key was taken
up after the burning, and last summer pre
sented to Dr. Blackburn bv one of Gen. Gar
field’s staff who witnessed the burning of the
•ail. The history of the key is therefore
authentic.”

A special dispatch from Ocala to the Times-
Cnion gives fuller particulars concerning the
the stabbing of Maj. AV. R. Couper, chief en
gineer of the Florida Southern Railroad. The
dispatch says: “The stabbing occurred on
Tuesday evening at the Milan House, in
Leesburg, just at dark, anil but an hour before
a splendid banquet was to have been served
at the Givens liouse by the citizens of Lees
burg in honor of the completion of the Flori
da Southern to that place. All the railroad
officials and employes were invited along
the line of the road, and Maj. Couper
was to have lieen the social mark of the
intended courtesies- iu consequence of the
important service he has rendered to the
lake region, and especially to that town. It
seems that the man Birclitield had had a con
tract to get out some cross-ties for the road.
Some of the ties had been condemned by the
tie inspector, and Maj. Couper refused to pay
fur those condemned. Birenfleldliecame very
angrv. and. after receiving the money for the
good ties, declared that he was not yet satis
fied in the matter, and in the presence of a
crowd of gentlemen on the street said Maj.
Couper was a liar. Someone told the Major
what Birchlield said, and it seems that the
fellow iollowed the Major, or at least
placed himself in his xvay at the door of the
Milan House about dark, where he was seeu
with a knife in his hand. On coming in con
tad with Birclitield there Maj. Couper asked
him if he had called him a liar, and Birch
field said ’ves.’ whereupon the Major struck
him iu the face with his fist. Birclitield re
sponded by cutting the Major three times—
twice in the side and once on the arm. As
near as the doctors could ascertain one cut
penetrated the cavity of the chest, cutting
into the lung. The physicians called con
sidered his wound as mortal. Birchlield was
captured in the rear of the hotel, behind a
door, listening to what he could hear. He
had, with his knife, cut a number of
rashes in his forehead, and rubbed
the blood over his face, say
ing after he was caught, that Maj. Couper in
dicted the wounds, and expressed himself
surprise*! that someone should have cut the
Atajor. There was great excitement in the
town, especially among the large number of
railroad employes, and, having no jail there,
fears were entertained that he would be
lynched before morning, A special car from
Ocala carried Mrs. Couper to her strickeu
husband. The telegraph line being down, it
cannot lie learned at this-writing whether the
Major lived through the night or not.”

AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL
ANOTHER FORECAST OF THE HOUSE
COMMITTEES.
Mr. Blount Longing for the Foreign
Affairs Chairmanship— Opposition to
frank H. Hurd’s Selection on the
AA ays and Means Committee—The Day
in Senate and House.
Washington, Dec. 20.-A number of
Representatives who profess to have
knowledge of Speaker Carlisle’s inten
tions, give the supposed make-up of the
tt ays and Means Committee to-day as
follows: Messrs. Morrison, Chairman,
Tucker, Hewitt, Mills, Hurd, Blackburn,
Blount, Eaton, Kelley, Kasson, McKin
ley, Hiscock and Anderson. Some doubt
is expressed, however, as to the appoint
ment of Mr. Auderson. of Kansas. One
or two of those known to have been se
lected assert that he should be chosen be
cause he is from the same State as Mr.
Haskell, who w-ould haA r e been a member
had he lived.
The Chairmanship of the Foreign Af
fairs ( oinmittee is not yet determined on.
Messrs. Cox and Belmont are still promi
nently spoken of tor it. Air. Blount savs
that he is entitled to it as he xv'as
the first Democrat on the Committee
during the last Congress. A number of
chairmanships are predicted as follows:
Appropriations, Mr. Randall; Elections,
Mr. Springer; Judiciary, Mr. Tucker:
Banking and Currency, Mr. Buckner;
Navy, Air. Hewitt or Air. Alorse; Military,
Air. Roscrans; American Shipping, Air.
Belmont; Public Buildings, Air. Converse;
Commerce, Mr. Reajran: Education, Mr.
Willis; Labor, Air. O'Neil; District of Co
lumbia, Air. Barbour; Pacific Itailroads,
Air. Throckmorton; Public Lands. Air.
Blackburn or Air. Cobb; Rivers and Har
bors, Air. Dunn; Post Offices and Post
Roads, Air. Mooney: War Claims, Air.
Holman; Patents, Air. Yanee: Invalid
Pensions, Mr. Watson; Agriculture, Air.
Hatch.
The Star to-night says: “The Demo
cratic members of the Ohio delegation are
dissatisfied at the supposed intention of
Speaker Carlisle to select from their mttn
ber for the Ways and Aleans Committee
Frank 11. Hurd, the only prominent Dem
ocrat in the State who opposed the ‘Ohio
plattorni,’ upon which they were elected.
They say that if Air. Carlisle places Hurd
on the Ways and Aleans Committee,
standing ns he does the only absolute free
trader in the Ohio delegation, he will
place himself in the position of antagon
izing the ‘Ohio plattorni,’ adopted as it has
lieen by five other States besides Ohio,
and representing the principles of con
servative Democrats throughout the
country. They say that such an action
on his part would injure the party in the
next campaign in Ohio and the other
States as well.”
POOL AGAINST SKINNER.
Formal notice of contest for the seat in
the House as Representative of the First.
North Carolina district was to-day served
bv Charles C. Pool against Thomas G.
Skinner, the sitting member, the con
testant basing his claim on the following
grounds:
Eirtt. That the proclamation of the Gov
ernor calling the election directed it to be
bold iu the district established bv the Legisla
ture at its session beginning ’last January,
which district included the county of Cartaret
and did not include the county of Bertie,
whereas the election should have lieen held in
the district as it consisted previous to the re
apportionment; that estimating the vote of
Bertie county from the record for the past ten
years it would have given a majority of not
less than 009 against thecontest.ee: that it was
detached from the First district by the Legis
lature for the known reason that it would give
such a majority.
Second. That in certain precincts named in
Ritt county frauds and irregularities were
perpetrated aud votes were thrown out ujion
frivolous pretexts, changing the result of the
election. The contestant avers that if the
frauds and irregularities lie corrected aud the
vote counted as it was east, or meant to he
cast, it will appear that he, and not the con
testee, is entitled to the seJit iu question.

IN SENATE AND IIOUSE.
A Detailed Sltoxving of the Work Done
by Both Bodies.
Washington, Dec. 20.— The House
was engaged all the' morning in the dis
cussion of the proposition to grant a
month’s extra pay to discharged employes.
Mr. Reagan moved to commit the reso
lution to the Committee ou Accounts,
with instructions to inquire and report
whether there were persons turned out of
their positions at the close of the last ses
sion of Congress and others put in their
places who have performed no duties.
The motion was agreed to.
One ot the committee stenographers
was removed on the last day of the ses
sion by Speaker Keifer. who appointed
his nephew to the vacancy thus created.
Mr. Blackburn, from the Committee on
Rules, reported a resolution that hereafter
the Committee on i*ost Offices and Post
Roads shall consist of fifteen members,
and the Committees on Banking and Cur
rency, Foreign Attairs, Military Affairs,
Territories, Public Buildings, and the
District of Columbia, thirteen members
each. He stated in regard to the increased
membership that it fully met the views
and wisbes of the Speaker. The resolu
tion was adopted. Mr. Blackburn then
called up the report submitted yesterday
for the appointment of a Committee on
Rivers and Harbors, to consist of fifteen
members, and after debate it xvas adopted.
Mr. Keifer, of Ohio, called up the reso
lution reported yesterday for the appoint
ment of a committee on woman suffrage.
The resolution was rejected after a brief

Mr. Iloblitzell, of Maryland, from the
s|>ecial committee having the matter in
charge, reported a joint resolution re

THE COLORED COMMITTEE.
Indemnification Asked for the Losses
by the Freedinen's Hank.
Washington, Dec. 2().-JThe Colored
Alen’s Executive Committee to-day heard
reports from sub-committees. The com
mittee appointed to draw up a memorial
to Congress in regard to the Freedman’s
Bank recounted the provisions of the
charter of the bank, which authorized de
posits to be invested in United States
bonds only. Investments, hewever, were
made in real estate, which resulted in
10-s and the closing of the bank. The
colored people were under the belief that
the government was responsible ior the
safe keeping of their savings. In the
method adopted by Congress in wind
ing up the affairs of the cor
poration, they believe that the
law of insolvency was violated.
In consideration of these facts the me
morial prays that the necessary appro
priation be made to fully indemnify the
creditors for all losses sustained by de
positors. Alemorials were also reported
in favor of national aid to education in
the States loti tided on the census of
illiteracy and in regard to political out
rages iu the South, from which the
memorialists demand the protection of
the American people towards the colored
people. A memorial upon civil rights was
reported by the committee, of which F’red.
Douglass and Register Bruce were made
members It indorsed the dissentingopinion
of Justice Harlan,and urged the passage of
the AV ilson amendment and the Edmunds
bill. These memorials gave rise to dis
cussion, and were finally adopted.
A resolution was adopted calling a con
vention to meet in Richmond, A’a., on th<
second Tuesday in July, 1884, to consider
the platform of the different political par
ties, and urging the colored people of the
United States to give countenance
and support to those only who shall
favor giving them their rights, civilly
and politically, and that recognition due
them as citizens. Organization through
out the nation was urged, and the colored
people were asked to support no man not
in favor of general education. zV motion
was adopted authorizing the committee
to meet in Chicago Alav 20, 1884. A com
mittee consisting of J. G. AYilson, Dr.
Fitzrith, R. I. Smith, AY. T. Scott, R. S.
Laws, Jesse Lawson, J. Leech and AV. A.
Pledger was appointed to present the me
morials adopted at the meeting to Con

SOXTAY SURROUNDED. ■
THE FRENCH PUSHING THEIR
OPERATIONS IN TONQUIN.
Yocduc Proclaimed King of Annam and
the Natives Greatly Excited The
French Legation in Danger—Another
Supplementary Credit Adopted—Six
Thousand More Troops to he Dis
patched.
Paris, Dec. 20. —Lc Figaro of to-day
says that it understands that Marquis
Tseng, the Chinese Ambassador, has pro
posed to France the following as a fresh
basis of negotiations for the settlement of
the Tonquin question: The delta of Song
Koi, Red river, together with the city of
Sontay, to belong to F’rance; the delta of
Song Kau river, with Bacniuh, to belong
to China; the northern and western
provinces ot Tonquin to be neutral, and
China to renounce her suzerainty of the
kingdom of Annam.
The government has received unofficial
advices confirming the report of the cap
ture of the villages outside of Sontay.
Admiral Peyron, Minister of Marine,
has received the following telegram from
Admiral Courbet, dated before Sontay,
December 1C: “An expedition left Hanoi
on the 11th inst. and captured FortPhusa
and all the earthworks erected on the
bank of the Songkol (Red river), opposite
Sontay. The assault was carried out by
marine infantry and Algerian sharp
shooters. The flotilla rendered very ef
ficient assistance. The enemy were very
well armed and resisted desperately. The
condition and spirits of the French troops
are excellent. To-day we commence the
attack on Sontay.”
Reinforcements of 0,300 troops will be
sent to Tonquin in the next fortnight.
The government has no information from
Tonquin that Sontay has been occupied.
In the Senate to-dav a supplementary
credit bill for 9,000,000 irancs for the Ton
quin expedition was discussed and was
adopted by a vote of 211 yeas to 7 nays.
Subsequently the Tonquin credit bill for
20,000,000 francs was also adopted, the
vote being 215 to C.
During the debate the Due de Broglie
said that he would vote against the credit
because be thought the present an in
opportune moment to launch a war
against China. France, he said, is sur
rounded by monarchies hostile to the re
publican form' of government. It be
hooves France to be pyulent at home and
abroad. He implored the Senate not to
leave a door open for foreign interference.
Gen. Campenon, Minister of AVar, replied
that F’rance was strong enough to bring
two policies—namely, colonial and conti
nental—to the front. The former must be
subordinated to the latter, now that the
expedition to Tonquin accords with that
condition. He and his colleagues are in
periect agreement. Admiral Jauregui
berry insisted that either a credit be voted
or that France abandon forever her influ
ence in her Indo-Chinese possessions. If
she should abandon Tonquin she would
surrender 400,(XX) Christians.
l.e Temps reports that at the weekly
reception of the foreign Ministry to-day
Marquis Tseng and Prime .Minister Ferry
had a long and friendly conversation.
Le Temps asserts that the compromise
mentioned by Le Figaro as having been
proposed by the Marquis has not been im
parted to the French Government, and
Le Temps doubts whether such a com
promise has been mentioned.
Saigon, Dec. 20. According to advices
from Hue, dated December 14, A'ocduc
has been iro.-laiiued King of Annam.
The natives were greatly excited, and an
attack on the French Legation was feared.
The firm attitude of M. Champeaux, the
French resident, had alone prevented an
attack by the natives. A reinforcement
of 150 men have been sent to Hue from
F’ort Tliuanan. It is considered urgently
necessary to occupy Hue with a sufficient
force to withstand any attack that may
be made on the FTench. No resistance,
however, is expected on the part of the
natives.
London, Dec. 20.—A dispatch from
Hong Kong says that the tight at Sontay
occurred on the 18th inst. Two of the
outworks were captured and the citadel
was surrounded bv the Frencli forces.
Hong Kong, Dec. 20.—'The F’rench
forces have captured the principal out
posts of Sontay, embracing five strongly
fortified villages. The enemv made it
stubborn resistance. The French loss
was 200 men and 15 officers killed and
wounded. Admiral Courbet, who com
manded the expedition, had 7,000 men, of
which 4,000 were engaged in the action,
the balance being held in reserve. The
Chinese still hold the fortress of Sontay.

A Ship Aflame in tlie Bay of Biscay,
anil Many Llveg Endangered.
London, Dec. 20.—A portion of the
crew of the Spanish mail steamer St.
Augustin, bound from Alanilla for Liver
pool, have arrived at Dartmouth. They
report that the steamer took fire on Sun
day last in the Bay ot Biscay. Eighty
two of the crew and the passengers took
to the boats. The first boat reached an
English brig. The second boat returned
to the burning vessel. The third boat has
not lieen heard from. The lourth boat con
tained 14 persons, who were those who
landed at Dartmouth. When the latter
left the St. Augustin there were 30 people
on board. It is hoped that they were res
cued, as a steamer xvas seen to be bearing
down toward the burning vessel.
London, Dec. 20, 10 p. m.— a dispatch
from Corunna, Spain, says that a brig has
landed there a portion of the crew of tlie
steamer St. Augustin. This is probably
the brig which picked up the survivors
who escaped in the first boat.

ments are to be ordered to Egypt. The
Dublin Fusiliers will 6tart for that coun
try on January 9, and the Seventh Dra

for India, will be sent to Egypt.
London, Dec. 21, 11 p. m.—The AVar
Office officially contradicts the reports
that additional regimeffts are to be sent
to Egypt. The only troops being sent are
the usual drafts to maintain in their nor
mal strength the regiments already there.
What it Did for an Old Lady.
Coshocton Station, N. Y., Dec. 28,1878,
Gents—A number of people had been
using your Bitters here, and with marked
effect. In one case, a lady of over 70
years, had been sick for years, and for the
past ten years has not been able to be
around half the time. Aliout six months
ago she got so feeble she was helpless.
Her old remedies, or physicians, beimr ot
no avail, I sent to Deposit, forty-five miles
away, and got a bottle of Hop Bitters. It
improved her so she was able to dress
herself and walk about the house. AVhen
she had taken the second bottle she xvas
able to take care of her own room and
walk out to her neighbor's, and has im
proved all the time since. My wife and
children also have derived great benefit
from their use. AY. B. Hathaway,

BERNHARDT’S MELO DRAMA.
The Colombler Horsewhipping Sets
Paris by the Ears.
Paris, Dec. 20. —The extraordinary dra
matic episode in the apartments of Mile.
Marie Colombier Tuesday afternoon con
tinues to be the subject of animated gos
sip in all quarters. It is uoxv known that
Sarah Bernhardt, upon starting out to
avenge the wrongs inflicted by Mile. Co
lombier, armed herself with a dagger,
xvhich she carried in her left hand, while
her right hand wielded the stinging whip.
Mile. Colombier made no attempt at de
fense, but sought immediate escape by
the back stairs, but not until her assailant
had inflicted several painful blows across
her face. Sarah, in presenting the whip
to the corcierge on leaving the house, re
marked that it bad been given to her by
the distinguished Marshal Canrobert,
but as it had been laid across the
visage of such an odious person
as Marie Colombier she disdained to give
it house room longer. During the general
skirmish in the lower part of the house
one of Sarah Bernhardt’s friends said
that it Mile. Colombier had anyone wil
ling to defend her in any particular, he
xvas readv to fight hint. Another friend
tore Sarah’s picture from the wall and
executed a frantic dance upon it, wildly
asserting that it had been desecrated by
its propinquity to .Marie’s portrait. The
appearance of Mine. Bernhardt at the
theatre to take part in a rehearsal of the
new play “Nana Sahib,” was the
occasion of great comment. lierlriends
gave many evidences ot their
sympathy with her, aud the coolness
of her ilemeanoa after the real drama, in
which she had played the part of leading
lady, was the theme of 1 considerable ap
plause. The general opinion now is that
the artair will have its sequel in the law
courts, and as a consequence speculation
is busy as to xvhat other developments
will grow out of the enlivenment.
M. Jetan Soudan, on behalf of Mile.
Colombier, has challenged M, Richepin,
one of Mme. Bernhardt’s friends, to tight a
duel. Both of these gentlemen were
present during the fracas. M. Richepin
declined the challenge. M. Soudan has
consequently published the following:
“I have found Richepin a coward in the
presence of a woman, and 1 have found him
a coxvard xvith a man. This is logical.”
IRELAND AND THE IRISH.
A Settler on an Evicted Farm Brutally
Murdered at Clonliar.
Dublin, Dec. 20. —A farmer named

He then fired at the wounded man while
he lay on the ground, killing him. There
is no clue to the murderer. Moylan had
just taken possession of a vacant farm.

cold weather a number of attempted and
successful robberies by foot pads have

rule, have taken place on the outskirts of
the city. A young man named J. W.
Beals, Jr., xvas recently attacked by three
highwaymen and robbed of his watch and
other valuables, one of his assailants dis
playing a revolver. George D. Davis, a
young man, met an armed foot pad late
last night, and showing an inclination to
fight, xvas shot by the robber and tnay not
recover. The trial of two highwaymen
has just been concluded in the Criminal
Court, one receiving ten and the other
three years in prison. The long term was
given to the robber xvho, it was shown,
displayed a revolver in making an attack
on a man.

the man. A number of farmers on Satur

ing of Gibson was the result of the forma
tion of this society.

you have some dirt on vourface, right un

“Don’t do it,” hastily objected the other,
“it isn't dirt—it’s burnt cork.”
“New remedy lor pimples, eh?”
“Oh, no, not that, you know\ I’ll ex

“It’s a disgusting fact,” sighed Smirk

“Exactly; and it’s actually gotten so of
late that unless a fellow is a barkeeper or
what they call a ‘hamfatter,’ he doesn’t

I’ve made up my mind to catch on or die

COTTON.
The Crop and the Price.
Editor Morning News: Some time ago
the New York Commercial and Financial
Chronicle, in an article on the prospects
of cotton, commented on the prospective
scarcity ot the staple in the ensuing sum
mer, and remarking that there xvas every
sign and probability of a corner and
higher prices that year, concluded with
some such words as: “But when did
cotton ex’er do as it was expected to do?”
The Chronicle was right or xvrong, as you
choose to regard it, for there was no
corner, and the price went down.
Fjxperience shows ns that whenexer the
general public marks out a course theo
retically for the price to take, as a
matter of fact, it takes exactly the oppo
site. The reason is that speculation
anticipates the movement, discounts it,
and, being then disappointed, naturally,
when the time for imagined fulfillment
arrives, reacts upon itself, aud hence the
contrary movement.
the present season is a case in point.
At the opening of the season the general
idea was that the crop was short, and
that prices were going up. Free buying
under this idea did for a time put prices
up; in fact, prices advanced ox r er a cent
a pound. This advance has been followed
by a period of depression, gradual, tedi
ous and most aggravating to those whose
interests looked to better prices; and
now we find that the greater part of the
early advance has been lost. Despite the
predictions of a comparatively short crop,
the receipts, instead of diminishing, liax’e
increased as the decline continued, and
latterly have reached figures beyond all
precedent. Now the bull element has be
gun to wax'er —shall thev aoandon their
cherished idea of a small crop and ulti
mate higher prices, and save from the
wreck xvhat they can by selling out as
best they may those contracts from which
they tondly hoped to derix'e so handsome
a profit?
As lor myself, I am not interested to the
extent of a single bale either one side or
the other; but to my mind the recent enor
mous_ receipts are no indication that the
crop is larger than currently estimated in
September or October. Even with the
heavy receipts from plantations lastxveek
—about 305,000 bales—the excess to date
over the amount in sight two vears ago
did not reach 160,000 bales; and that vear
the crop was only 5,450,000 bales. Hence,
to make 0.000,000 this year we must gain
about 400,000 from now on over 1881-82. 1
beliex’e the late heavy receipts are in a
large measure attributable to the decline
in the price.
A large part of the cotton planters ere
natural bulls, and xvill hold for higher
prices as long as possible, marketing only
so much of their crop as may be required
to realize money enough for immediate
wants. Nowi suppose that when the
planter receives 10 cents for his cotton,
his margin of profit is 2 cents; then a
community requiring, say about SIO,OOO,
could obtain it by selling about 1,000 bales,
as the surplus of profit over what was
owed on the cotton would about amount
to that sum. If the price advanced a cent
higher, they could then realize SIO,OOO by
marketing 650 to 700 bales, as the net
profit xvould be 3 cents; but if the price
declined a cent the margin of profit xvould
then be narrowed to 1 cent, and they
would be compelled to sell no less than
2,000 bales to get the SIO,OOO clear re
quired. This is a simple explanation of
the apparent paradox so often noticed and
commented upon that a spurt in prices is
followed by a falling off in receipts and a
decline by an increase. With from 2,300,-
000 to 2,800,000 bales still in the country
to hear front, and with such extended
railroad facilities, navigable rivers and
good wagon roads as everywhere reported,
it is not remarkable that’as much as 305,-
000 bales should come in sight in a weak
at this of all seasons, and after the recent
decline. Let us then xvait a xvhile longer
before branding as false those positive
and well nigh universal reports of de
ficient yield, which even New York almost
unanimously credited a mouth or two ago.
Under such confused and confusing cir
cumstances of crop and of speculative
position, what are we to look for in the
future as to prices? If receipts keep up
pretty well through December and the
greater part of January, there seems no
help for the market. The “bulls,” xx*o
have held on so long that they will soon
begin to tire, xvijl doubtless begin to let'
go, and in so doing depress prices con
siderably and still further aid the decline
by thereby squeezing a yet larger propor
tion of the remaining cotton from the
country. In this case,, with the weak
“bull” interest weeded out of the market,
and nearly all the cotton sold, the position
of the staple will be very strong, and a
“boom” may be confidently anticipated in
the early spring.
On the other hand, if the sharp falling
oil yclept “perpendicular” occurs
shortly, the “bulls” will become imbued
xvith fresh vigor—the “bears” xvill be dis
mayed-predictions of only “5,000,000
bales” and Qf “14 cents next spring” xvill
circulate ireelv; prices will not be long in
advancing at least as high as the point
from xvhich they have already declined,
and probably higher, as the advance
would lend strength to itself by enabling
many planters to hold back for the 14
cents in the spring r and receipts would
promptly still further diminish. The final
result would then most likely be, as usual,
disappointing. As spring * came on the
bulls would be “loaded up;” by degrees
it would become evident that the crop had
been actually underestimated, and was
sufficient and more at the price of 11 or 12
cents for the xvorld’s wants, and the expe
rience of two years ago would t>e re
peated.
On the whole, looking over the situa
tion in a general way, I can see no
good reasons yet for increasing the esti
mates of the crop above 5,750,000 to
6,000,000 as a maximum. Consequently,
I see no adequate cause for the recent
decline of %c., and barring external influ
ences, such as political or financial trou
bles, I consider it as likely to be recov
ered. I do not believe the receipts will
continue excessive much longer, and it is
not unlikely that we have already seen
the xvorst. Finally, while, as indicated
aboxe, there is some chance of a further,
and perhaps sharp, decline within tlie
next month or so, I believe it is pretty
safe to predict that the spring ami sum
mer months will ultimately go consider
ably higher than they are at present.
Democritus.
A Gooil Hot Drink.
A late London Lancet, the great British
authority on the science of medicine and
surgery, contained an exhaustive article
from an eminent New York physician, Dr.
Fjphriam Cutter, on the “Therapeutical
Drinking of Hot Water.” The idea is not
new. A correspondent of the Chicago
.Journal tells a story of the late Horace
Greeley, who was a strong believer in the
hot water treatment. An old friend of his
said: “Once Mr. Greeley asked me it I
wouldn’t ‘take something.’ 1 said yes,
and dovyn stairs he led me, and around a
corner into a saloon, where we seated our
selves at a table. ‘What is it, gentle
men?’asked the waiter. ‘Well,’ replied
Mr. Greeley, looking at me earnestly, ‘I
always take hot water, and I advise you
to!’ ” The friend, so he says, took “suthin’
else,” but Mr. Greeley persisted in hav
ing his cup of boiling hot water, and
declared it both “good” and “stimu
lating.”

The Agreement Voided by Eugland’a
Failure to Carry Out the Provision*
on which it was Based—The Monroe
Doctrine Not Affected—A Solution of
the Difficulty Predicted.
NV ashixuton, Dec. 20.— I The following
letter of Secretary Frelinghuysen, formal
ly concluding the long-pending discussion
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, was made
public to-day:
Department of State, (
■Washington. N'ov. 22, isa3.j
James RutoU Lov>tll, AVy. London, Kng.:
SIR—I enclose herewith a copy of an instruc
tion from Lord Granville to Her Britannic
Majesty’s Minister in Washington, dated
August 17, 1888, copy of which was handed mo
by Mr. West, and which is in reply
to my 508 to you of May 5, 1882, on the subject
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. You will ob
serve that Lord Granville savs “that Mr.
Krelinghuysou still contends that the Clayton-
Bulwer treaty is voidable on two grounds:
First, because the tlrst scveu articles of the
treaty related to a particular canal by the
Nicaraguan route only; and, secondly, be
cause Great Britain has at the present Uav a
colony instead of settlement at Belize.” Cord
Grauvillc’s attention should be called to the
fact that this government not only holds the
position to which he has referred,
but also holds, ns stated to you
in my instructions of May 8, Isß2,
and May 5,1883, that for the purpose of ob
tain iug the then needed capital to construct
an inter-oceanic eaual by the Nicaraguan
route the United Stales were willing to sur
render part of their exclusive privileges in
the canal by that route, and were also will
ing to agree that by a subsequent treaty stip
ulation they would join with Great Britain
in the protection of the then proposed Te
huantepec, Panama or other inter-oceanic
communication, and that consideration hav
ing (.tiled the treaty is voidable as to the
Nicaraguan route, and as to the other routes.
Lord Granville raises the point that “no
time was Used bv the convention within which
such inter-oceanic communications were to
be made.” While this statement is correct,
it is also true that it was contemplated that
the canal was about to he constructed at the
time the treaty was negotiated, and that the
survey therefor was then made, and that 83
years have elapsed without Great Britain
rendering the consideration on which the
treaty was based, and this failure, we
think, affects the treaty in the same manner
that a failure by Great ’ Britain to give con
sideration within a dednitc time, had one
been tixed by the convention, would have
effected it. The treaty provides that neither
the United States nor Great Britain shall
colonize or exercise any dominion over auy
part of Central America! This was the most
important provision. It is one of a cluster
restraining one nation from having anv ad
vantage over the other in regard tothe policy
of the canal, such as provisions against
alliance, against occupation r.nd fortillcation,
and against taking advantage of any in
timacy or inllueuee, and yet it is claimed that
the treaty does not prohibit the existence of a
large, regularly organized British colony in
Central America, while it does prohibit
the United States from having auv possession
or colony there. The color for this claim is
that while the stipulation that neither of the
two governments should colonize any part of
Central America is the most conspicuous
declaration, Sir Henry Bulwer, prior to the
exchange of the ratification of the treaty,
states that Her Majesty does not understand
the engagements of that convention to apply
to Her Majesty’s settlement at Honduras, or
its defenses. This declaration can’t be held
to authorize subsequent colonization by Her
Majesty’s Government of territory as large
as three of our smaller States.
The declaration was made, not to change or
vary the treaty, but out of abundant caution
that it might not he misunderstood. The mean
ing of the declaration, we think, is that mere
settlement of British subjects for the purpose
of cutting mahogany and logwood at Hondu
ras, under Spanish-American sovereignty,
was not to be considered a British colony, and
thus he a violation of the treaty, and I fail to
see how, since the exchange of the ratifica
tions of the treaty, the organization of a
colony, with a full colonial government, under
British sovereignty, can be looked upou as
authorized or allowed, either by the treat v or
by Sir Henry Bnlwer’sdeclarations. The’tvvo
contracting powers are equally bound not to
colonize any part of Central America, and the
declaration itself of Sir Henry Bulwer not be
ing an exception of any territory in Central
America from the operation of the treatv, but
providing in effect that a settlement should
not lie considered a British colony, tended to
strengthen and not to destroy the mutual ob
ligation not to colonize in Central America,
laird Granville is correct in saying that I
stated in my instructions to you of May 8,
1882, that Her Majesty’s Government was hot
called upou either to admit or deny the views
therein expressed as to the Monroe doctrine,
aud this was so for the reason there given, to
wit: Because Her Majesty’s Government
placed its claim to join in the protection of
the inter-oceanic canal on the treaty which,
if binding, certainly modified the Monroe
doctrine, hilt the fact that this government
for a promised consideration modified by the
what i colled the Monroe doctrine, I
"hink, does not in any manner effect
that doctrine /ifler the treaty has
fallen, lieeause of its infraction
and because of the failure of the considera
tion contemplated. 1 observe that Lord
Granville says that Her Majesty’s Government
have reached the conclusion that a prolonga
tion of this discussion is not likely to lead to
any practical result, and also says that Great
Britain has large colonial possessions and
great commercial interests which render any
means of unobstructed and rapid access from
the Atlantic to the I’acitic a matter of the
greatest importance to Great Britain. In
conclusion of this discussion, you may say
to Lord Granville that this government fully
appreciates the importance to Great Britain of
an unobstructed and rapid access from ocean
to ocean, and has no disposition, as stated in
my instructions to you of May 8, 1882, to im
pede Great Britain in the enjoyment of such
an access, and that the government believes
that the two nations will in due time reach a
satisfactory solution of the questions that
have been considered in this correspondence.
Yon may read this instruction to Lord
Granville and leave a copy of it with him
should he desire it. 1 am, etc.,
