Nhrinkngo of Cotton.
A enrresjjondent of the Arkansas
Grange gives his experience on the
shrinkage of cotton as fellows :
I had a dispute lgjt September with a
Memphis mcr-t A ut ' about the loss of
weight o?i cottof. f £o test tlie matter I
ginned a bale on the loth of October
weighing 4G2 pounds. I then put it into
a dry shed that it had sunshine every day
that was clear until December Bth, when
it was again weighed and found to weigh
408 pounds. I had three men to race the
test. I wish all my brother planters
would make a test, and see if it brings,
the same result. This is the lin'd year]
have tried it with the same remit. The
average loss of cotton shipped to Mem
phis is about ten pounds p.-r bale; this,
at 15 cents, amounts to SJOO/JOO on the
cotton shipped to that place. This would 1
pay all our taxes.
1 uis from the Washington correspon
dent of the Augusta Cliron>>l(\ does not
corroborate fle report we had some days
ago that our thrifty ex-Governor, Joe
Brown, had beeen offered the Secretary
ship of the Interior, but declined to
accept. The writer says : “The Cabi
net met at noon on Sat*, rdav, but ar
rived at no definite conclusion as to who
would be Delano’s successor in the Inte
rior Department. Joe Brown’s name
was proposed, but was promptly voted
down, with the snubbish remark of
the ‘Bobtail clam Yankee’ that no
more Ackermans were wanted in the
Cabinet."
Jiiic Columbus tinquirer says;
During the summer and later months the
newspapers, our own among tlie number,
published the longest drought seasons
ever The longest was one
hundred and twenty-three days. Now
Conductor John Colvin has it upon the
best authority that in the section border
ing Shorter’s Station, on the Western
Railroad of" Ala bama, from April Ist
rMKtil September 10th, of this year, not
■uffieient rain fell to wet a linen coat.
The people must have parched up in that
section. One hundred ahd fifty days of
glaring sunshine.
Litti.b children arc sold and expor

Instead of taking them away singly, the
speculators buy up a whol family at once,
including the father, mother, uncles and
aunts, and start the lot for foreign parts,
r lhe law can’t gainsay the will of the
father and mother, and so the little ones
are smuggled out to struggle with the
world.
0-'' Saturday night last a prominent
merchant of Lumpkin was seen to
purchase a peck of corn, and it was de
termined to make a test case of it. On
Monday a warrant was issued and he was
arraigned before Justice Hawes. He
plead not guilty and defended his own
ease. After a patient hearing, and ar
gument on both sides, Judge llawes
liued the defendent lot) and costs.
The only campaign which hasjust now

Iho Democrats are holding immense
mass meetings throughout the State, and
a notable feature of these gatherings is
the attendance of large numbers of ne
groes. The signs of a defeat of the Ames
-Republican parts multiply daily.
T HE Brooklyn Argus says Sam Bowles
