appointment of commissioner* from those States/

to tbe ITaifloetlon proposals:
"When you white gentlemen will agree to

art until then, we will agree to help you to elect
men to office to relievo the State of its burdens,

Montgomery is waging a war of destruction
with watermelons and stile fruit, fish and veg
etables. The Advertiser, of Sanday, says the
dty, on Batnrday, was crowded with negroes
from the oonntry, who report crops as ont of
the gnus, bnt the cotton is so little and delicate
generally that nothing like an average crop is
exported, even with the beat of weather and no

A Nnr Yon* correspondent says apprehen

within the oity limits is said to be about 95,-

acceptably for a number of years. The paper

The fsot is, Lewis. Wilc Smith Is probably
a bitter Georgia appointment than tbe a-lmin-
istratioo has yet made. He is more of a Geor
giao than the rest of them, for he never was
here, and his native Georgia delloicy, nnder
the circamstanoea, keep* him away, which Is
decided point in bis favor over the others.
Then, again, we know be belongs to a large and
widely known family, whereas we had every
reason to suppose that Grant would have ap
pointed a Lynn or Boston nigger to represent
the Stats of Georgim in these premises.
Fnrther more, Lewis Walu Smith is oonceded
by the Tribune to be the ''leading spirit of the
enterpri m," or “the bead of the Philadelphia
Bing,” which the Trihnno rays has been packed
to manage the affr r at the expense of oertain
outlawed State* like Georgia. That adds to car
satisfaction. Wo want Wain to wall no more.
Let him pile op enough out of this patriotio
snd gnabing job to satisfy bis complaining sonl
to the end of bis days, and atffle forever the
notes of woe—ao that he shall no longer be
Wilu Smith, but Halloo 8mith or Hellelojsh
Smith, or soy sort of s Smith whleh shell sig
nify a happy Smith—a Smith with foil pockets
—plenty of money and no poor kin.
These are some of the pints in the light of
which we contemplate this nppintment. Bnt of
ooane there are others. Tbe grest national
jnbilornm of 1876, should evidently be com
mitted In no part or particular to natives of the
disloyal States. They should be sednlonsly

703.C0S bales for the same period of 1871-72,
showing an lnoreaee since September 1, 1872,
of 848,661 bales.
The interior port receipts for tbe same days
were 2,439 bales, against C43 for the corres
pondent week of last year. Shipments, 4,024
against 1,434; slocks 28 805 Against 9,075.
The Chronicle table of visible supply foots
np 2.504.110 bales against 2.571,337 last year,
snd 2,312,053 the year before, showing a deficit
on last year’s supply of 07,221 bales.
The Chronicle'* weather reports for tbo week
are favorable. There has been no excess of
rain, and in some parts of the ootton region
more rain would be desirable. At New Orleans
there were light showers two days; at Mobile
onthreodays; at Montgomery one day. At
Belmi It was warm and dry all the week, and
crops need rain. At Mao on there was no rain.
At Oolnmbns snme, bnt not enough. At Ss -
vannah, warm and dry. At Angnsta a very
little rain. No rain at Memphis. At Nashville
three light shuwers. The crop ia developing
promisingly everywhere, and is generally clean.
Caterpillars have appeared near Selma and
Montgomery, but with dry weather the Chroni
cle apprehend! little or no mischief from them.
The merenry at Memphis averaged 81; Colum

Montgomery snd Selma 80.
Tbe first btle of new ootton reached New
York on the 16th and wsa sold by motion in
front of the Cotton Exchange st thirty-six
cents per pound. It was shipped from Browns
ville. Texas, and passed through New Orleans
on the 10th. List year the first Texas cotton
was recoived in Galveston July 161b. at New
Orleans July 18th, snd at New York Jniy 22.
CDTTON COKJXCrCSES.
The ootton receipts np to last Friday were
3,552,169, and there remained five weeks of the
ootton year. Fifteen thousand bales a work
will, perhaps, not be an exoeasive estimate, and
that will give 90,000 bales. To this add 200.-
000 bales for overland and Southern consump
tion. snd the crop of 1872 3 will foot op 3,842.-
169 bales, which Is an excess of 867,818 bales
over the crop of 1871-2.
Aa Mr. Pipken observes, “who won'.d a lhnnk
It 1” And last year was a poor crop year and
a caterpillar year, too. All the month of An-
guit the caterpillars were moving In countless
legions, breeding a pestilential stench with
their rioting-* and their riotous carcasses. That
cotton crop we in the Sontb all knew was going
to be “mighty short,” snd that was the reason
why futures stung ns so badly.
The prospect now is much fairer than It waa
last yesr, and nobody dares say abort crop. In
addition to this there has been an increase in
the cotton area, and an inoreaje of nearly fifty
per oent. In the quantity of fertilizers applied.
What is going to ba the result t Why it seems
to qs a man without going beyond the limits of
prudent anticipation might add from five to
eight hundred thousand bales to the crop of
1872-73, snd look for somewhere between forty-
throe and forty-sli hundred thousand bales ss
the crop of 1873-74—that is to say, unless some
great accident shall befall the mitering crop.

compassed “sweet seventeen" than they begin
to grow letioent as to their ages. Nor is a lit.

Alas, however, when the bridge of forty five is

than an “annt” of this genns, who has the
right” to advise her yonng relative. Every
peal of merry langhter, every stile that agile
limbs carry her over, every moonlight walk or
ride with youthful swain, every pirenette or
demonstration of fawnlike aotivity, calls down
storm of indignation upon that sunny head,
and hoyden, tomboy, minx, hnzzy and similar
expletives are snre to be launched at her, while
hands are upheld in pions horror at the degen-
eraoy of the times. This is tho age too, when
parting tom eits and barking poodles, seem to

fired of tenderness which has been surcharging
the hearts of these interesting ladles for a half

beoome very prototypes of Dorcas of old.
Then, indeed, are the sister! canonized and

Harry / No, indeed! Their liberty was Wo
precious to be thus imperilled. ’Twes more
than any bswiskered mortal eTer dared in the
whole conrse of his existence to pap the ques

sob prevents any explanation or the response
wonld hive received, and poor bnmsn na
ture asserting its sway, tbe dear old creature
breaks down at the very thought, so fall of ex-
etacy.
Bat now, to lav aside ail badinage, and
apeak tbe words of trnth and soberness, we are
constrained to say, that no unfortunate class of
8ooiety are more slandered or wrongly dealt
with than old maids. Many of them, from
motives of unselfish duty, hare beoome so from
choice. Others are the victims of the perfidy of
man, or nnreqnlted affection. Some have chosen
that thorny pith rather than mate beneath
them, and few, very few, are so, ex necessUate,
for lack of a lover. By eome enrions law of
compensation, anpply and demand, or call it
what yoa will, every mssen'ine creation seem9
to have its counterpart somewhere, and by a
peculiar attraction, like begets like, and these
loving duals beoome units. Else why is the
equality of the aexw so equally maintained
throughout the universe? and what stronger
argument against the crime of poligamy ?
Henoe it will be aeon, aave in exceptional
oaves, celibacy is the deliberate resolve snd set
of tbe spinster herself. And. taken as s whole,
no portion of the community are more harm
less, while many lead eminently mefnl lives,
and are the light and j oy of the households with
whom they sojonra. We hive known ladies of
this olass, rear large families of orphans to a
useful matcrity, and dispense happiness them
selves to all who come within the radios of
their infinence.
And jnst here, this somewhat prolix article
canhive no better conclusion than by the nar
ration of a little aneodote connected with one
of the ladies referred to. In her, some princely
and cultivated gentleman, or even Buchanan,
the baohelor inmate of the White House, lota
a wife who, for gentleness, wit .and intellect,
has few peers In the Union. Now well ad
vanced in life, her very presenoe ia still sun
shine to every cirele, while no hidden ating
poisons the wit which constantly sparkles in
her conversation.
Sometime since, two of the immates of the
house in which she resides were married ladies,
whose husbands had bean absent on business
for several months. At length, however, the
day was appointed for the return of each, snd
great was the joy thereat. Bnt sad to say neith
er came when expected, from eanaes unavoida
ble, and their gentle partners, inconsolable,
actually wept themselves into a spell of sick
ness. Tbe cbeerfal maiden mentioned, rallied
them thns: “For shame that the temporary
absence of yonrlorda should »1H let yon thns se-
riouily, when I have been waiting for my hus
band lo! there fifty yeart. Tia needless to say
ream ware exchanged for smiles, and the lach
rymose wives reeolved to exhibit a littl* more
patience in fntnre.
The Stability ot Baees at the Sontb.
The farts and figaresof oar Little Bock cor
respondent op the relative stability of the two
race* at the Son'll, says tbe New York World of
the 19 Ji, are hopefully snggeetive for the fntnre
of that section. The BepnbUean party has
done its almost to <iia«c m'nate the belief at the
North that the negro race is differentiated from
the white race mainly by a black skin and a
previous condition. The- belief fonnd accept
ance with those who wished to accept it, and it
waa /earad for a time, even by many who did
not accept it at all, that the emancipated and
enfranchised negroes wonld in some sections
maintain the ruinous supremacy into which
they bad been elevated. Bit the experience of
the past eight years has demonstrated, what was
very well known before, that the defeots of the
negro character are such aa to prevent the race
from profiting by the opportunities which have
been thrown in its wav. The revelations of the
oenans in regard to the vital stains of the
negroes have alreadv been considered in the
columns ot tbe World, but it will not be amiss
again to notiee more particularly certain of the
points brought out by onr correspondent. It
has been fear'd that the negroes wonld concen
trate in the far Sontb, and ooDvert the Gnlf
States into negro republic!. Bnt the ninth
oensna shows that cotsitba'anding the Urge
emigration of negroes to Louisiana since the
do*e of the war, the colored population of that
State declined from 369 020 in 1860 to 364.210
in;1870, whereas to the preriona decade there
vu an incresee of about 90 000. Mississippi
shows an iocrea of only 6.000 in its ooiored
population from I860'a 1870 against on increase
of 127,000 in the. previous decade. The negro
popnUt'onof 8onth Carolina fell off G.OOO be
tween 1 WO and 1*7 ). notwithstanding the in
viting praepeot wh-.-'i 'hi* S ate is supposed to
hold ont to the oolort i immigrant.
Bnt while the negro popniation shows a con
stant tendency to derline, tbe white popniation
of the South is steadily increasing. From 1860
to 1870 the white population increased 25 per
Cent., and now that tbe Radical press has left
off manufacturing stories of Enklnx and other
ont rages, a steady til" of < m'grit ion he. set iu,
which promises to make the rate of increase
mnoh greater for the present decada. Tbe ex-
aot volume of this immigration cannot be as
certained. bnt that it ia considerable there can
he no question. Mach of it proceeds from tho
Northwest to tbe Southwest and to the Southern
Atlantto Sta'ea. There Is alsd a steady emigra
tion from the M'ddie S atea to Virginia and
North Carolina, both of which States also
reoeive oonstart accessions of popniation from
Earope. Bat the present volume of im
migration to tha Son'h docs not give, per
haps, my reliable indication of what that
immigration is likely to teoome within the
next five years. There is hardly a planter at
the Scnth who is not willing to sell a large por
tion of his land at prices very far below Us in
trinsic value, and hence this section offers ad-
vantag'S to the agricaltnrist of small capital
rarely presented el-e where. Tha oheapnesa of
the lands and the advantages of the soil and
ciu-iate of the Sonih w II io all probability be
anfficiect indnoement. to a'tract increasing im
migration from the o'her 8’atee of the Union,
where the lands are dearer and loss prodnotlve.
The presence of the negro la an obataole to the
influx or white popniation, bnt not ao great as
mast be encountered by the immigrant who oc
cupies nneettl-d territory. Moreover there is
not a St Hein tbe Sonih bnt h»a many inviting
diet riots wherein the negroes are comparatively
few, and it is to these distrieta principally that
white immigrants go. Year by year the ne
groes appear to be seeking the sea coasts and
the river-bottoms. leaving the upper and more
salabriona oonntry for the ooonoation of the
white man. In this way even Snath Carolina
will probably be released from the savage rnie
nnder which afae ha! been placed by Republi
can recon-traction. How long it will take to
reach that oonanmmation cannot be told; bnt
it is evident that the deoline of negro suprem
acy at the South is progressing with startling
rapidity.

DAT DISPATCHES.

Hendanarlers In tit* Nnddlent Cape (Jlrar.
New York Core, of Chicago Tribune 1
Did yon ever hear the story told of the first
interview between Gen. John Pope and Ool.
Thomas A. Bnott daring the second year of the
rebellion ? Scott was then Asiiatant 8eoratary
■ War, and bad oooaaion to see Pope, stationed
| Cape Girardeau, Mo., on important bminesa.
As is well known, the General is, or at least
was. not remarkable for oonrtesy, and in re
gard to profani'y, he ounld have given the
British army in Flanders three points and then
have beaten them at their ova game.
Pope had hia headquarters on a transport,
and was seated in the cabin, amnking. one
aftarnoon, when tt rather small, qnietlooklng
man entered and said:
‘Is this Gen. Pope?”
“Thai’s my name, sir;” in a load and heo-
toring tone.
“I have aome bn!in r S‘>, Genarat "
See my Adjntant, then. I have no time to
attend tn yon ”
Bnt General my business—”
D yonr business! Sue my Adjntant,
G—d—von!”
Yon don’t quite understand. Genera' ——”
Don’t understand? H—and d—! It’s
yon who do not understand, for I have told
yon to see mv Adjutant, G— d— yon! half a
dozen times ”
3Iv name. General. Is Scott, and—”
What the h— do I oare what your name
ia ? If it’s Pot, or Rot, or 8ot. or Idi—ot, as I
*n»oect, its of no consequence to me, G— d—
it!”
All this time the stranger preserved hia per
fectly qniet, calm, modest demeanor; and
Pope, being nearly ont of breath from temper
and excess ef profanity, gave him time to eay,
tranquilly aa if the General had been polite
from the first:
“1 have the honor to he Assistant Secretary
__ War, and the misfortune. General, to be un
known to one of the moat nrbane and beat bred
officers in the service of the Uaited States."
The first Dart of the sentence had ao over
whelmed Pope that it is dnubtfnl if he heard
the stinging irony of the remainder. Hia man
ner changed at onoe. and ho exolaimed s “I
beg a thousand paid ins. Colonel. I did not
know yon; and I am anre you would pardon
my rudeness if yon knew how tremendously I
am bored by fellows who insist upon "seeing
me because they have lost a chicken, or oan’t
collect 50 cents from a Union soldier.”
Col Soott made no fnrther remarka, but en.
fered npon the basinets in hand at once. Dar
ing the remainder of hia stay in Pope’s depart
ment, he he waa treated with the moat distin
guished courtesy.
Love Among the Hoses.
Perhaps Christian Wi'zel was the moat foolish
young man who ever died for love. He was a
Germ tn gardner, and went to work for a gentle*
man named Eisman, near Memphis, and on one
the roads leading to town. Wjfzal was less
than thirty, and a aober, industrious man. Mr.
Eisman died, leaving a widow, Lena Eisman,
sixty-four years old. and Wilzsl remained in the
employ of the widow, training her roses and
trimming her vines. At length he took a strange
fancy io fall desperately in lova with the widow.
He told her of hia love, and she laughed at him
and tried to cure him of the delusion. He wonld
not cure, and she finally told him it conld not
be, and asked him to mention the subject of
marriage to her no more. And Witzcl oontinned
training the widow’s roeea, and trimming her
vines, while an irrepressible love w.ts bnrating
hia heart. She pilied him. bnt eiold not help
him ont of his tremble—and the more she pitied
him the harder he loved.
One morning Witrel was in the garden hoe
ing vegetables among the widnwi’s rosea and
Tinea, and tbe widow was in the parlor playing
the piano. The fragrance, and the mnsio. and
the mated birds in the balmy trees bathing in
the dew drops of the morning intoxieatod the
solitary heart of Christian WilzeL The sounds
of the piano ceased, and the widow rang the
bell for breakfast. Ths gardener dropped hia
hoe and obeyed tha summons, for there was a
marry jingle in the beff. The widow Eisman
vu ringing in the doorway when Wiizel ap
peared and Baid: “I hoard the bell, and am
glad to find yon in each good hnmor.” The
Vidov replied: “Yes, come in; let ns sit down

Txtradltlon of Carl Vogt.
WasmsoTON, July 22.—Attorney General
Williams to day transmitted to Aoling Secretary
of State J. C. B Davis hia cfficial opinion in
the ease of Carl Vogt, a PrnBaian oi'.iz n, charg
ed with murder, arson and robbery committed
in Brussels, and a fngitive in tbe Uaited States.
The question submitted to the Attorney Gen
eral was: Can the German Government right
fully demand the anrrender of the fngitive, nn
der the treaty of Jane 16. 1852?
The Attorney General Bays tbe only point in
controversy appears to be the following:
Whether or not, aoeording to the tree intent
and meaning of said treaty, the orimea com
mitted by Togt in Bslginm ware oomuitted
within the jnriadio'ion of Germany.
The Attorney General, in a leng'hv opinion,
reviews all the faots in (he oase, and concludes
as follows;
I have oarefn'ly rea 1 the elabe r ,t„ opinion of
Jndce Blatchford upholding the jurisdiction
in this case, transmitted in yonr letter, bnt with
diffidence and regret I am oompelled to dissent
from hia views. They do not appear to me to be
aonnd in principle or anstiined by anthority.
Able writers have contended that there wob a
reciprocal obligation npon nations to surrender
fngitives from jnstioe Though now it seems
to be generally agreed that this is a matter of
comity, bat it is to be presumed, where there
are treaties npon the anhjeot that fngitives are
to be surrendered only in certain eases and npon
the terms specified in anoh treaties. Conform
ably to what is above stated I make a negative
answer to yonr question.

Dzs Moi.n-zs, Iowa, July 22 —An extraordi

committed last night four miles west of Adair,
on the Chicago, Itock Island and Pacifio Kail-
road. At this point there ia a sharp curve in
the road, and here the robbers placed heavy
timbers across the track to throw the east bonnd
passenger train off. Tbe engineer, John Raf
ferty, saw the abstraction in time to reverse
the engine and apply the air brake; bnt the
robbers observing this fired at him from an
ambush and shot him dead. The engine strnck
the logs and went off the track into a ditch, and
waa followed by one of the baggage cars, the
others remaining on the track. Several passen
gers were bruised, bnt none were seriously hart.
The robbers, who were masked, after open
ing and emptying tbe safe of the Eipress mes
senger of its contents, rode off on horseback.
Among tho passengers were thirty Chinese stu

Further Account ot tbe Kail road Robbery.
Cbicaoo, July 22 —A speoial dispatch from
Das Moines gives the following account of the
attAck on the train of tbe Chioago, Book Island
and Pacifio Railroad: Last night the train left
Council Bluffs at five o’olock with fonr coaches
and two sleepers in the rear—the sleepers being
filled with a company of ariatooratio Chinese
on their way to New England colleges. There
were, also, two baggage and express cars, in
whioh were the through California mail and
express matter, consisting of nearly two thou
sand dollars in the express safe and three tons
of bullion.
When about sixty-five milea west of Dea
Moines, at about 8 o’clock, at a sharp curve in
an isolated spot, no house within thirty milea in
any direction, the train going about twenty
miles per honr, the engineer, John Rafferty,
■aw suddenly one nil removed from its place,
abort sixty feet in front, and instantly reversed
the engine and applied the air brake. When in
tbe act bullets came pelting into the engine
like hail. ,
The engine ran into a bark and turned over,
throwing ont tbe engineer, John Rafferty, and
the fireman, tbe former falling on the lat
ter dead. It ia supposed Rafferty waa killed by
the cooensaion, as no bnliet wounds were fonnd
on his body. The fireman escaped nnhnrt.
The train, being very heavy, ran abort one
hnndred feet and stooped. The baggage can
doubled, and were badly smashed.
As soon as the train stopped, several large,
athletic men, masked in fall Ka-Klax style,
appeared at the express ear, in which was con
ductor Wm. Hmita, Superintendent Boyoe, ex-
messenger John Borgead, and three other per
sona, and oommenoed firing into tha oar, yell
ing, “Get oat of there, demo ye! get oat of

Hie inmates jumped ont of the rear nnder
oorer of helf * dozen revolver*. Two of the
robbers meiohed down the train, threatening
to shoot any person who showed hia head, say
ing, “Gat down out of flight, damn ye, or we
will shoot yon.’*
The robbers then fook abcat $2,000 express
mzney, opened the mail sacks, bnt took no let-
tvrs mounted hor«*es and rode off across the
prairie in a southern direction, the whole being
done in less than ten minntea. They fortu

Tho Capture of tho Spanish hqnndron—
How it was Done*
Bayonne, July 22 — News received here
through the Carlists concerning the - insurrec
tion at Carthagena, throws additional light on
the defection of the Spanish squadron in that
port, which was made a subject of a government
decree and a vote in the Cortes yesterday. The
Insurgents after gaining control of the oity,
seized the Gastello, a strong fort on the west
side of the harbor, less than a thousand yards
from the entrance, which It commands com
pletely. This gave them control of tho two
tower batteries on the ehore, at the month of
the harbor. They posted the red flag of the
commnne over the fortifications and summoned
the squadron lying in tho harbor. The crews
were in sympathy with ths Insurgents and the
vessels foil into their hands without opposition.
The ohief command is now entrusted to Pasas,
who led the insurrection in the naval arsenal at
Favial, in the province of Corunna, some
months ago.
Tho vessela thus taken by the insurgents are
the Viotory, an iron-olad of 25 guns; Petram,
iron-clad of 40 guns; Almaga, iron-olad of
48 guns; and the steamers Fernando, El Cata-
lizo, Ferralana and BlaSco Garay, not classified.
Tho four vessels first named are among the
finest in the Spanish navy.

Heat Coatlnnes*
London, July 22.—The extraordinary heat
continues withont abatement.
Queen Victoria has incurred the criticism of
MLs Kate Field, tho vivaoious and ruetciloes
correspondent of the Tribune, for eating Home
sandwiches and drinking a glass of beer during
the review in honor of the Shah, and never
effariog a bite or a swig to her illustrious
guests, the King of Kings and the Czarowitch,
who looked wistfully on while Her Majesty re
freshed her-elf. Miss Kate regards this simple
act aa a breach # of' decorum, particularly ns
as luncheon *wtw just over and dinner ap
proached. The entire prooess was observed
through a field glass of immense power, and
seems to have secured the undivided attention
of the correspondent in preference to the
red coata of the soldiers, usually a powerful
magnet for feminine eyes. To the Eaglish
people, however, the Qieon’s appetitj
and her perfectly mconce.’aed manner
of satisfying it, must be a source of gratifi
cation. It indicates excellent health, an
appreciative swallow and sympathetic tastes
with her subjects, since English men and women
are reared from mfanoy upon just such nutri
ment as the Scotoh gillie Joha Brown handed
up ou a salver. Jeffrey once said of Goethe’s
.s*o::es tli »t they had throughout the odor of
the sausage, there was such a vast amount of
food consumed by the characters; a similar
distinction attaches to the Briton, whose beef
and ham pies and sandwiches and bottled ale
are ss inseparable as his ruddy health, his
wholesome corpulence and his solicitude for his
stomach upon any and every occasion. To be
hungry is the lot of royalty as well as oommon
folk.*, and taking everything into consideration
the Qaeen’s punishment of bread and meat and
beer will hardly be regarded as tho worat of-

good lint. We have had considerable experience
with various kinds of ootton gins, and can, with
