AND MORE THAN TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE CIRCULATION! The Now York Sun culls it “llnyos' Traveling Combination.” Ani> now it is Charles Conrtnoy who is the “noblest rowmon of thorn all.” llo has won sovonty^fonr sculling races. Tue New York Sun of the Nth roports a groat rovival of trade activity in that city, and tho business thoroughfares crowded to roplotion. The late Admiral Homines loft a son ami a daughter, both rosidonts of Mem phis, tho latter wifo of Attorney Gonoral Luko E. Wright, of that city. Mn. William II. Vanderbilt has been fined by tho oily of Syracuse for dashing through that municipality in a palace car at tho rato of forty miles an hour. Herot. Hates’ family has boon rosiding nt Haybrook, III., utterly destitute and objects of charity for a yoar, and the tlag-hcaror roooutly tried to commit sui cido by taking an overdose of laudannm New York llcrald: Tho other day a oor- rospondont in Osman Pa°ha’s camp, thinking to catch him, said, suddenly: — ‘How aro you Crawford?” Osman looked at him quietly, and said, ‘Doksnu dogmak idem sovolmemek, molionn m«u suu gun ny, fill*’* bit t Tiie colored pooplo of tho South do not yoarn much after home swoot homo.

Hrookltn Union: Tho headlines in Home of tho Western papors are models of sevore simplicity and dirootnoss. Tho reader who takos up tho Cincinnati Eu tjuiret and sees “Hellward by Hemp” in Htartling blaok letter, is just as certain that somobody has boon hanged, as if they hod said so in tho first place. Goldsmith Maid’s trot at tho Loxing ton, Ky. Fair Grounds on the 10th, was not a success. Tho track, owing to rains in tho morning, wos heavy. Tho timo was therefore slow. Only two miles were trottod, tho first in 2:84^ and tho sooond in 2:82:*, with running mate, a thorough bred out of Mr. Forte’s stable. The crowd was largoaud mightily dissatisfied with Hud Goble's performance. The l’opo preserves his high spirit nu- abatod. On roadiug in tho liejmblique Francaisc that ho has boon dead for sev eral years and is personated by a priest, his Holiness burst into a fit of laughter, and ordered a subscription to be takeu in his namo to the papor for fivo years. “Wo shall see who lasts the longest!” ho said “and how it will vex thorn to put the Pope’s address on thoir wrappers!” A vert silly dispatch was sont to the Now York Timex from Washington tho other day, to tho effoot that “Honorable Mr. Koitt/’of Nowborry, South Carolina, had boon arreslod on a charge of bigamy aud that tho iiffuir had oatisod great ox oitemont, oto. It appears flint tho party arrosted was a colorod man who had sinned tho name of a well known Carolina family, and who at ouo time inisrepro< sontod tho county of Nowborry in tho Radical General Assembly. A Mr. .Jennesh, of Portsmouth, N. H., has a oollootion of coins of groat value, oxolnsivo of its intrinsic worth. Ho bognn his collection twonty-ono years ago, now consists of two largo ensos of about 40,000 silver and copper coins, represent iug a value of about $10,000. Of foreign copper ooius ho has about 10,000 spool mens, and of American copper coins flf- toon or sixteen full sots. Tho oldost sil ver piooo 1h a Jewish shekol of dato 128i B.

Tiir story is told that at a mooting of Maino politicians tho night before tho convention, Senator Hlaino was outspokon in his hostility to the Southoia policy, but indifferent, ns to tho civil sorvioo or der. Eftgeno llnlo tnvored the polioy, but doclnrod tho party would bo ruined by tho civil Horvioo order. Thou tumor baa it that Hlaino uummod up the ease in this way : “Hale’s opposition rominds mo of what old Admiral Farragut used to say to the sailors when they mot an unaccus tomed glass of punoh, ‘Don’t he afraid of tho brandy, boys; it’s the nutmeg that’s dangerous! ’” New York lleruld: Several nmuoroiis- ly signed memorials will bo presented to CougresH next month proposing amend ments to the Constitution abolishing the Presidency, pn executive council, couuoil of State ot cabinet to bo substituted therefor, to bo oomposod of the soven secretaries without any stiporior offloor, all to hnvo equal authority—that is, sim ply strike out thu President and author ize tho soorotarios to have tho execution of the laws aud general tmperv ; siou of the goveiumont, four of tho council to bo elected by tho llouso and tbroo by the Senate, from membors of their respective houses, for two years, one or all to be removod at ruy timo by tho house eleotiug them, and all to have the rights of momhors in both housos. KKI’ORTM Or THE EXCHANGES. From ovory part of tho South they have reported regarding tho condition of tho cotton crop. There is not a single one that has tho slightest semblance to sus taining tho extravagant ostimatc of tho Northern buyers, who aro basing thoir prices on a total of five million bales. Tho majority of the States report tho con dition in many localities not so good as last yoar, and worms, drought and rust doing great damogo. It is a quostion of oxcooding doubtfulness whether tho yiold will oxcood that of tho past soason, or ovon equal it. Tho crop is generally ro ported two weeks uohind, and this makes it liable to many casualties which may soriously filled the product. Nothing soarcely oan bo oxpootod from tho now growth sinco the late rains. Frost will bo vory apt to nip it before it cbd fruit and thus stop futuro ripening. The manner in which the staple is being received, shows a backwardness of sovoral wooks. This may bring oonviotion to tho North ern minds, which the worms nnd rust aro unable to accomplish. “When they huve arrived at a conclusion, it is very hard to ohango it, as planters have too often docoivod tho country by crying short crops, aud our own section—nay, farmors themselves—have torribly suffered by speculating on this bolief. Small receipts toll tho story, and produce alterations whon all tho opinions in tho world would not cause tho removal of a dollar from ono side to tho other. Those largo factors of tho North aro hotter posted on the situation than wo live in tho ootton fields. UesidoBtho daily roports, thoy rocoivo from markot of any note in ovory South ern State the average thermometer for tho week, as well aB tho highost and low est, tho rain fall of the week, and tho general condition, bad or good, and be sides have preceding rocords with which to make comparisons. With all theso aids, howovor, wo think thoy will bo bad ly foolod this soason if thoy porsist in anything liko tho largo estimates with whioh’tboy havo sturtod. Thoy made a bad error last yoar, for cotton falling in Sep tember and October, took au upward movomout in November (middle portion) and Dooombor and afterwards wont high* Another oondition to ontor into tho oortaintioa this yoar is that the Southern planter is in Armor oondition than for sovorul years, lie has more monoy and his credit stands bottor. Tho rnlo here tofore hf s been that when tho ootton had passed from tho hauda of tho plantor aud the stocks hooanie comparatively small, speculation would advanoo prices. This year may provo au exception, as many are ablo lo hold thoir product and dispose of it cs they ploaso. Farmors aro not at tho morcy of any ono. Tho ootton Holds covor such a vast aroa that ovon nt this timo it is d’ffioult to as certain with any dogroo of even groat probability tho probable crop. Thousands in tho South boliovc there is money iu tho staple, nnd thoy give cxcellont reasons thorofor. Wo aro iuolinod to think that way ourselves, and liopo such anticipa tions may bo fully roulizod. Thoro is nothing so successful as success, aud a resolute determination is said to bo ouo of tho ossontial ingredients. It is said, howovor, that ho who buys ootton by sta tisties is certain to looso. Take tho posiHon, all in all, there seems to lie no proHpoct that quotations will ex ceed, or at Ionst much so, or ho depressed below tho priccH of last season, unless some torriblo disaster ocor r s aftor this dato. Most planters havo fai med olosoly and tho futuro to them and to business gouorrlly iH vory ohoering. Certainly thoro is no need of being despondent, and with brightness rud hopefulness in fused in ovory breast, rud expressed in happy, genial words throo-fourths of drr difficulties aro oudod. tahlishod a pension fund whioh entitles each or its employes to a retiring pension after a service of twenty years—the per- sions “amounting to from fifty tm seven ty-live por cont. of tho highest salaries over enjoyod by them.” Tho adoption of somo such system as this, including a resort to arbitration when difficulties ariso betwoen the corporations and employes, Mr. Adorns evidently thinks would go very far toward promoting amicable rela tions between tho railroad mon and the corporations in whose servioo they aro. The Word “Tote.” — Tho Sunny South, a most 'interesting litornry paper published in Atlanta, has this among othor things in its “Answers to Corres pondents” : T. A. Kino, Gladwator, Toxas.—Tho word “loto” is a provincialism, and is not to ho found in our dictionaries. It is an improper word and should not bo rsod. Surely tho oditor of the column did not examine the dictionaries. In Web ster’s Unabridgod wo find this : Tote, ▼. t. [imp. nnd p. p. toted; p. pr. nnd vb. n. toting; said to bo of Afri can origin]. To carry or boar;—a collo quial word of tho Houthorn Staton, used especially by negroes. Tote, n. [Lat. totum from totus, all, whole] The entire body or all, as tho whole tote [Colloq.j Wo roust confess a liking to tho word. It fills a blank which no other does. It expresses exactly how a burden wos car ried or borno—by bodily strongth. If ono tolls you ho toted anything wo exactly understand him. Iio brought it without tho aid of any person or convoyonco. Wo note, too, that it is becoming in oommon use both North and South. Do not lot abolish suoh an exact word. Hit. IIA YEN. AMUSEMENTS. And Gov. Hampton got no arms at Washington. Why bo did not got them thus explained by a telegram to tho Chicago Times: ‘Oh examination at the War Depart ment tho astounding discovery was made that South Caroliua bus alroudy received advanco of all arms to which it is en titled to for forty years to come. It was also discovered tkut this extraordinary issue of arms came through Don Cameron, who, at the instanao of “Honest John” ~ attorson, ran this load of urine into South Carolina for tho uso of negroes only. This wus done last fall, when the Camerons and Chandlers were crying out loudly at the dangers arising from tho presence of white-leaguers in South Car olina—this when the hogrocs had twenly stands of arms to ono of tho whites. Hosides this great issue of arms, it will remembered that a large body of troops was ordered into South Carolina. Everything that could he was done hero precipitate a color-lino fight; but tho uuusnl paticnoo nnd coolness of Governor Hampton aud his peoplo frustrated this wall laid plan. Governor Hampton goes back without any arms for his State; but ho| is satisfied with tho reason, as it will help explaiu to tho public the extremo niettsuros adopted list fall by tho Ad ministration people toward tho South.” OOl im W Wants It Understood.—From tho fraudulent President's desire to have it understood that Key repeat od tho “orring Southern brothers” expression in a lato speech, it would sootu that Mr. Hayes suggested it. Mr. Key represent no ouo in tho South, whon ho uses suoh phrases. The entii^ section has repudiated any such sentiment. It wav'd really make litilo difference what Mr. Key says, but for the fact ho falsely claims to represent Southern opinion hoforo uudiouoos that imagine ho does. Hut for thiH ho might talk until doomsday, nnd notio South ould pay tho least heed to his utter aucoH. Tho Southern papers desire Mr. ayes also to uuderstaud this. KAII.ItOAII ST It 114 KN AMI TIIE1II PREVENTION. Col. Thos. A. Scott, of Ponro/lvania demands that tho Gonoral Government protect tho roads. Judgo Hlnok, ridion lingjthis idoa, snys a hotter plan for the Government is to run them and divido np the big salaries among the omployes. Tho lattor would then hnvo no occasion to create trouble, for thoy woil’d havo no griovmooM of whioh to complain. Mr. Chns. F. Adams, ,Jr., tells how tho Fronoh rnilrond company de I'Est nianng ors nvoid all strikes by taking away the inooutivo. It donls vsith its mon in a fair, generous p*ul business like spirit, and eerie inly tho plan in ono which should bo considered by ovoiy railroad manngor There is no doubt tho lato uprising in labor*has stopped tho reduction of wages, and bonefitted (he position of tho labor iug mnu, but tho tendency of such mens ures is to mob law, end the licensing tho thieves nud vicious to prey upon tho land, nnd revel iu pi"agc nud robboiy. Such should summarily ho put dona by tho strong arm. Tho lesson for thoughtful men is to romovo tho causes for these dntu’-bnuoes. Tho State ltailrord Commissioners of Mi * saohusot's —Mr. Charles F. Adams, Jr., bo’ng ono of them—Approving of tho example sot by tho French company, when tho rocout strikes ooourrod, woro about to issue a private imitation to tho mauagers of the railroad companies hnv ing thoir termini iu Boston to moot them for the pmpose of takiug the whole sub joot into orsideration. Tho general principles of tho roform suggested by tho oommissiouers are substance tho cstabliahment of a service on the railroads having all the elements permanence, including apprenticeships, regular promotion, and finally retiring pensions; a gradual rud reasonable in cross© of wages in onch grade, br sed tho lougth of service, nnd finally tho or> gnn'zation of the provident fund, to bo mnde up partly by contributions from tho companies aud pr^tly from yearly asnoss* moats of from ouo to two per oent. on the salaries of the omployos. The objoct of this fued, if it follow that established by the French coiupuuy, is “to securo proper wodioal attendance aud his full incomo to the employo during sick ness, aud iu ease of death to provide for the funeral expenses, aud a grant to tho wid ow or ohildrou of assistance equal to the ainouut of four months’ pay.” Iu addi- I tion to this tho French company has es* now he was lfd to adopt the pacifica tion POLICY. Cincinnati, September 10.—A corres pondent of the Evening Times who inter viewed President Hayes while on ronte to Fremont, asked tho I’resident how he camo to construct his policy, which was sootningly so at vorianco with his rooent viows while on the stump in his last Gu bernatorial campaign. Did it grow upon him gradually as circumstances Boomed to require ? Tho President replied as follows : Well, those views began to take form in the words of my lottor of acceptance. I considered the situation of things in tho South, saw how impossible it seemed to rostoro order aud pooco and haunony; saw tho violence and bloodshed at their elections; how white Republicans, as woll as black wero shot down during their po* litical contests, and I asked mysolf why is it and how long must this oontinuo ? These mon down South, tho white educated citizens are as good men as you or I. Thoy are Chris tians, not • thieves nor cut-throats nor bandits. Yet they boo these things and tacitly approve them, if they do not toko part in them. Why is it and bow long will they continue? While thinking those questions over, my mind revolted to the scones of the war, and au inoidont at the battle of Cedar Mountoiu camo to mind. It was a hard-fought engagement, nnd for a timo wo could not toll how it would end. Wo who woro in command had determined that if a certain move- ment resulted in ono way, wo would givo certain orders, but if it resulted other- wise, different orders would be given. With our field-glasses we were watchdog tho course of things. All at onco I saw u commotion in the thickest of tho fray. Tho atrillory had got to work aud woro throwing shells fast and with unerring nim into tho solid ranks of tho onorny. Heads wore being blown from thoir bod- ion, arms and legs torn from their sockets, nnd souls sent to one world or tho othor, all unprepared, and yet I rejoicod and congratulated my fellow officers that we wero victorious. How could this be? Why wps it? It was because we wore at war. That one word solved *n my mind the problem of the South. The people there were at war. I here was a conflict going on. Tho social and political relations of the peoplo wore not natural, not harmonious. There were disturbing element* among them, and while they existed or wero nnduly active, there would he oorfliot. Let the causes of the conflict be removed, and there will he peace and u’tiantoly harmony and proas perity. “But” said the reporter, “wo do not see muoh dispoK tion in tho Sou*b to manifest a loving tompor toward us of thr. North.” The President mildly retorted: “How do /on know? You form your opinions, r.u doubt, from reading the papers, but editors of newspapers do not always rep resent tho popular general feePng of tho peoplo, either North or Booth. I think most of the people in tho Sou*h, as I know thoy are in the North, aro more dis posed to onoonrago fratornal, harmonious, social aud business relations than tho ox- tremists, who, unfortunately, too often got control of nowspapers, but even those, or most of them, will oomo around all right »n timo.” GRAND CONCERTS! —OF— Instrumental and Vocal Music I At Springer’s Opera House.

PoHtmrder General Koy will recoin mend to Congress a repop I of the prosont law regu’atiug the salaries of poatmrstorH under $1,000 per annum, and further for- bidd’ug tho salo of postage Htamps in other except strictly legitimate methods. Tho subject is now under investigation, nnd shows how kina’l pos' masters have boon quietly making largo sumnof money Of tho oi sgh recently specially reported to tho Postoflico Department the following pro of iutorcet: B. II. Kirby, of a sowing machine agency at Little Rook, Ark., has boon hav ng a lrrgo trade with country postmasters by Bo"ing thorn sewing mn chines for Htamps. Tho following is his private eiroular for postmastora only, aud explains itself: Hard tirnos, groat scatcity of monoy, nnd a reduction iu tho pricos of sowing maohinos induco mo to off or you extra ordinary low priooB in tho widoly known and popular Bowing ma chines. 1 mrko you this lihornl offer,and will send you ono of my $100 maohinos, No. 1, silvor-plated, half onso, for $85 ; $05 machine, new, No. 8, for $84, and $00 machine, No. 2, half enHO, for $80 As a still groator inducement, I will take the nbovo in one, two nud throo cont pos tngo stamps. Aftor doduoting your com mission on stamps, yon soo tho maebinos will only cost you $12 for a $100 machine, $ 18 for a $05 mnehino, and $ 14 for n $ 100 mnebino. If you desire a good machiue at comparatively small cost to you now is tho time. If you havo stamps on hand send them at once. If not, ordor them nud notify mo, so that I may know that you accept tho oiler. N. B.—For the bonoflt of Postmastora who may think it is a violation of tho law for thorn to disposo of stamps for ma ohines, I would say that I had ono of our best nttoineys boro to examine tho law tho subjoot, nud he says that it violation.of tho law. Thoro is, howovor, ordor of the Postmaster Gonoral against it, hut tho only pounltyis remov al from office should ho find it out, a penalty, howovor, whioh will novor bo ouforcod, ns this trnnsnotion is strictly confidential, eud no ono will know of ou trade. If yon want a good macbiDO there is nothing wrong in the trado. It it nlso shown that organ dealot havo gone into tho stamp trade with conn try postmasters. Iu general the latter hnvo stores nud onn readily dispose of sewing maohiuos or tho liko when thoy get them at half piioo through tho deduc tion of thoir commission allowed upon the sale of stamps. One of tho most notorious instanoos of the frauds of this character is engineered by supposed respectable mon, trustoes of a Philadelphia oollego. It has one bun dred and fifty studonts. A postoflico has boon established for the couvonionoo of tho professors nnd studuuts. Prior to the adoption of this elidiug scale tho salary for subordinate postmasters was $800 The President of tho oollego wps made postmaster ami ho iu turn gave the salary for tho pnrohpse of books for the college library. Sinoe the now law, however, the salary has boon increased to $2,200, pud is known ns a Presidential appo’utmont. There has been no incropso iu tho aotual business of the oflico to justify this in- crease of salary and rank. The increase was brought about *u tho following mau- uer: Borne of the trustees aro lp-go merchants of Philadelphia and require a large amount, of stamps ’*u the course of their busiuoss. As tho president of the oollego donates his entire salary as postmastor to tho oollego library, tho trustees naturally feel an ’utorost iu having the salary raised to the highest figures. Takiug advantage, therefore, of tho opportunity presontod by a dofootivo lav, t hoy ng rood to purchase o’l thoir stamps from the college postoflico, instead of the general postoffioeat Philadelphia. If the salaries of all postmasters woro deter j- ed according to the amount sold no in justice wou’d result to the postal rovonuo by reason of suoli transactions, because what would bo gained by ouo postmastor would bo lost to another; but, a9 iu this instance, without any teohuioal violation of tho law, tho $1,400 added to the salary of the oolioge postmrster is abstracted from tho uationa’ revenues, and tho Gov ernment is thus made, by n dishonest trick, to contribute annually $1,400 to exteud the library of a pwvatc institution.

MARION ESTES Republican msjofclty Leaving the division of power in the Sen ate entirely too close to be oomfortable. Should the Democratic claimants from Louiairna aud South Carolina be admit ted, pud Senator Morton’s illness termi Date fatally, the appoint ment of n sne censor to the lattor by Governor Williams would havo the effect to doduot one Sen ator from the Republican side and to add ono to the Democrats, mak’ng the strict party vote then stand thirty-eight to thir ty-eight. It is well known that Senators Patterson of South Carolina, Conover of Florida, and Spencer of A’abpma, are not in a very happy frame of mind, owing to the action of the Administration in re moving many of their friends and adhe rents, aud shoald snoh a resalt as indi cated above bo reached, either of theso Senators will bo in a position to control the balance of power in the Senate, and dictate terms to the Administration. Tho opportunity to settle old scores will bo presented, and at the same time the hot fire in the rear, in the shape of investiga tions and strong local influences, may re-* suit iu somo sort of compromise that would enable n Democratic coup d'etat to oapturo tho Sonato committees. In viow of the action of South Carolina investi gating oon'mittoos, together with tho ex pressed hostility of one of the Senators named,*the organization of the Senato on a Democratic basis is not altogether so improbable ns many Republican Senato: s would suppose.
