CnomcLm.—Ws notice in another place in this
edition a long article copied from some unknown
source, assaulting the New Tork Commercial
and Financial Chronicle for unfairness in re
spect to tbe ootton orop—charging that paper
to bo ran In the interest of tho Bears, and with
tha purpose of depressing tha prioe of ootton.
There la not a word or thought of that article
true. The Chronicle holds the scales with the
Impartiality of a judge, and with a great deal of
aagaeity and sound judgment Into the bargain.
Tha Ghroniole ia not often wrong, and where it
has erred, has erred with reason. We like that
paper vary mneh, and commend It to tbe good
opinion and general confidence of tha ootton
fraternity. If it talks about a pretty silid ootton

The Virginia Democratic Mate Con
Tendon
To nominate candidates for B ats tffljers,
meets to-morrow at Richmond. It will be tbe
largest convention ever bold by the party
that State, and will, without doubt, came tbe
next Governor of tbe “Old Dominion." The
names of General Jsmea L. Kemper, Colonel
R E Wilbers and Hon. John Goode, of Nor
folk, are moat prominent for that effloe, but
even possibly a naw man will be taken np.
Whoever ia nominated will pretty sorely be
elected, for tba people are folly aroused to tbe
vital importance of holding tbeirState from tbe
bands of tbe unclean crew of plunderers and
fanatics, who elnlehlng at her treasury. Tbe
iaana baa wisely been made on tbe line of gov
eroment by I bo decency, respectability, and
prop* rly of the State, or by tbs Ignoranse, toa
bility and roguery of tbe oembined boats of
earpet-baggana, acsllawaga and oorn field bands.
From one end of tbe State to tbe other tbe
bugle has sounded, and tba true eons of tbe no
ble old Commonwealth are mastering for a last
charge upon tbe Radical beats. They will
make a gallant fight and win a glorious victory.
Tha election will not take plane until Xuvember,
so there Is a long stretch ahead of them in which
to folly develop tbeir strength.

A Wlrked Han’a Opinion of English
and French Girls.
Wattenoo, of Ibe Courier-Journal, who ia
gallivanting abroad, must have bad a prolonged
attack of dyspepsia while in England, judging
from bia sneers and snarls at everything and
everybody be saw In that country. Ha has
crossed over to France, bat still his liver seems
oat of fix, jadging from this extract from bis
last letter:
Tbe woman who has tbe boat (anted ankle in
England, and yon might go evon higher atill
without impairing tha perspective, assured me
only a fortnight ago that Ihq French girls are
singularly wanting In atatnerqne attractions,
and pointed with pride to a clamp of British
vsatate, each one of whom, she assured me, re-
alised Hogarth’s line of beentveo perfectly
that tbe tape that measured Powers’ Greek
Slava or tbe Medici Vo one wonld serve them all
as well. It may be ao. The English girls are
a strapping set, beginning with the pick faced
lady and going down to tba yellow-haired bar-
lot. Bat when it oomes down to the matter of
countenance their elaimi upon one’s admiration
art exceedingly indirect Tbe girls of Paris,
on tbe other hand, oonceai whatever deficiencies
of figure they may hare inherited by eostnmes
tha most tasteful and naive, looking ont
at yoa in e sweet bewitching war as if
they meant to have yon believe that if Paris is
Heaven they ara its angels. The English girls,
high or low, remind yon of the hay-field and the
cow-lot. There is in them and abont them an
offensive materialism redolent of the mould
above tbe rose, «The French girls are ethereal-
iced. They call np Ttslona of danoe sal Pro-
veincil song, ef moonlight and banks of violets,
and are redolent of tbe rose above the mould.
An English girl will amiik before a looking-
glass until Iks very quicksilver giggles and

Antfqnify of Sian—Ketuarhablc Dlfp
covers.
It has of late been tbe belief of a large dass
of mon of scienoe that tbe existenoe of the hu
man race on tbe earth dates much farther back
than was generally supposed, while the follow
ers of Darsrin and Lubbock btjve claimed that
tbe bnman race baa been in a constant slate of
progression from barbarism and brutish anoas-
try. Accounts were given of a bnman skeleton
nneartbed by tbe qnarrymen in Neander valley,
near tbe Dnsael, at Elbenfeldt, In Rhenish Prus
sia. Tbe professors prononnoed It to be of
great antiquity, and were of the opinion that
tbe Neander man, whose bones possessed in
general tbe same qualities wbieh oharsoterzs
tbe tones of the mammoth found In neighboring
dietriota, and eno'osed in the same diluvial loam,
lived together with tbe mammoth and other
exlinot animals of. the drift period. The
•kali was the snbjeet of measurement
and calculation of brain power. Its capaolty
was found to be ahnnt rqnal to that of the aver
age Polynesian and Hottentot, and while tbe
opinion of geologists differed in regerd to minor
points, all admitted tbe great antiquity of the
skull and bores. A discovery ha. jnat been
reported in Kmsas, which, if verified. Is far
more remaik.bia than tbe above described.
The Osage Mitalon (Kansas) Jonrnal says that
a bnman ahnll wa. n-o. nlly found near that
place imbedded in a .olid rook, which was broke
open by blasting. Dr. J. O. Weirley. of Osago
Mission, compared it with a modern aknli which
bad in bis office, found that it resembled tbe
latter in its general shape, Ibongb it was an inch
and a quarter larger in its greatest diameter,
and mneh better developed in soma other par
ticular.. He says of tbe relic:
It is that of the oraniem of the bnman spo
ols*, of large lias. Imbedded in conglomerate
rook of tbe tertiary class, and found several
feet beneath tbe surface. Parts of the frontal,
parietal and ooolpitai bones were carried away
by explosion. The pieoe of rock bolding tbe
remains weighs some forty or fifty pound-*,
with many impressions of marine shells, and
through it thsre runs e vein of quartz, or within
tbs cranium cryatalized organio matter, and. by
tbe aid of a microscope, presents a beautiful
appearance.”
If tbia be a fact, and it seems to bear tho im
press of trnlb in the description, neither Lyell
nor Qngh Miller, nor any of the rest of the sub-
lerranean rxplorers report anything so strange.
The Neatder man oomes the nearest to it, bat
the Neanderthal bones were found in loam only
two or three feet beneath the snrfaoe. This
aknli was discovered in solid rook. If the Kan
sas discovery be real, it is worthy of a thorongb
■cisntifio Investigation.
A Splendid Itonqnet.
Mrs. Heath delighted this office yesterday
evening with a magnificent bocqnet of flowers
In the collection were a superb Japan lily, of

Japonioas, and some fine specimens of the wax-
flnwer. The whole waa blended into one of the
most beantifnl bouquet, we have seen this
season. Tbe lady will please accept onr thanks
for tbe present. They serve to lighten the loal
of drudgery for e time at least, and made the
world seem brighter than it was before.

We were shown a diamond necklace worth

diamonds—a mere ornament for a lady’s hair—
worth one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
gold. We were shown a pearl set. including
necklace, earrings, braoelet, tnd pendant, worth
one hundred thousand dollars in gold; also, a
diamond necklace worth twenty thousand
pounds. Tbia had a pendant drooping from it,
:n which was set a ruby of the regutar pigeon
blood color, and it waa rained at three thousand
pounds alone. A beautiful necklace of pink
pearls, with tbe central pearl as larga as a
pigeon’s egg, waa valntd at only fourteen then-

of black pearls werth X10.000. W* were
abown a vary rare bracelet in which waa act a

The North Carolina Elections.
On the 7th of August the people of North Oar
olina will be called upon to vote for the eight
new amendments to the State Constitution.
Tbe Conservatives are warmly urged by their
journals to vote for them, bnt fiar exists that
apathy may allow them to be voted down by the
negroes. These amendments wen passed in
tbe Legislature by a vote of both parties. The
first amendment provides for the repealing *
the present constitutional provision by which
the Legislature ia required to lory a tax to pay
the public debt, which was fastened on North
Carolina by ths Radical administration. If this
amendment be a dopted the Legislature wonld
decide npon what ia jnst and what is an ut Just
debt. By the seoond amendment tbe danse
in tbe constiintion, inserted by the Radioals,
that the censes of. the State be taken
1857, and aftir that every other year
ia stricken ont. This expensive law wss
made to give employment to pets of “the party.”
The third and fonrth amendments abolish two
costly hnmbngs—the Code Commission and the
useless effirs of Superintendent of Pablin
Works. Tbe fifth amendment refers to tba
University of Nor.h Carolina, which institntion
now in a condition of material and moral
rain, to which it b» been brought hy its hav
ing been placed in tbe hands of knaves and
fools, through Holden's machinations. Tbe
amendment now.propoees that it be placed
charge of the L*g sia'nre. Dr the sixth emend
ment the three hundred dollars exemption of
property from taxation applies to ell kinds.
The seventh amendment prescribes that no
Fedrral or S'ato ifinal shall be a member

The Heir to (lie Throne of Russia
■ud His Wife. -
London Correspondence Boston Poet ]
It la worth while to describe this Prince, as
he appears to ns here daily in the London
streets; for everything indicates that he will,
if he lives, be one day a conspicuons historical
character. If he tnrns ont a less stern and an-
gnat despot than Nioholas, he is oartain to be
more enterprising and energetio ruler than Ah x
ander II. Tbe latter batos war and has little
teste for mditery shows and feats; while bis
heir is nothing if not aotively ambitions and by
nature beligeront end aggressive. Ths Czaro.
witch is. of madinm height, very slightly and
athletleally bail', with a atra-ght, martial figure
sod tbe-carriage of a bangh’y and conragoons
soldier. He has tho trne R imtnnff cast of
conntenanoe, that is. acquire oval, fail in flash,
with round fall cbeek9. fall lips, a handsome,
ronnd, determined chin, aborr, straight, olwti
nste-looking nose, Isrge. s era dirk eyes, and
rather lowerirg brow. His hair ts dark brown,
ud is closely ont to the bead; and he wears
la'Utr long, dark mustache, with .a grroefui
military sweep at either end. He cinnot be
oalled strikingly handsome, bnt he iB a yonng
man who wonidle noticed for bis manly hear
ing and expression anywhere. His creamy
complexion is smooth and soft, and be
has the appearance of having lived on tbe
fat of the land. He is evidently of a lax-
arious as well as active end enterprising
temperament; in both reaoeoU being thor
oughly nnlike hia imperial paps. In one thing,
however, he resemblts the Cztr. axd, Indeed,
this is s traditional trait of the Romanoff; he
wears a babitnsl expresiion of haughty melan
choly, which aeldom .melts into a smile, and al
most never into hearty langhter. The Ethpe-
rors Pant, N.cholaa and Alexander II, were all
melancholy men; and Alexander I had a deep,
underlying "adnesa under his cheery and bluff
exterior. This has been accounted for by the
faot that the Ozus, from their position, live in
constant danger of aasassinstion, and never oan
know from what sonroe or In what manner tho
blow may oome. Certain it is that the present
Czir is timid and is a victim to bypoohondria
which is aooonnted for by some by bis habit of
taking too maoh alcoholic stimulant, and by
others an tbe result of a oocstent wearing feu
of his life. Tbe Czirowitoh, on the eontrary,
is a thoroughly brave man, but has probably
got his melanoboly by inheritance. Different
as ha is from the Czar in personal characteris
tics, he oon'd scaroely do otherwise than dif
fer from him in hia habits sod in his po
litical views; and it is well understood that
he has for some years assumed the rale,
whiob may almost be said to be babitnsl
to heirs to thrones, of. leading the opposition
to the Court He sympathizes rather with his
node Constantine than witb his father, and be-
longs to the wari ka “Old Rnssia” party, instead
of the interns! development party favored
by tbe Czar. Ths German ixfinenees at the
Russian Court are regarded by him with dislike
and disfavor. He ia far from beipg friendly
with his consins, tbe F,assisn prioors, and
dnr ng the lata war was a frankly ontspoken
partisan of France, while hia fa'ber wss well
known to sympathize with the Germans. PriDOs
Alexander, too, not only disapproved of, bnt
vehemently protested against, the polioy of the
emancipation of the serfs, though when that
oocnrred he bad not reached manhood. In short,
be is a type of tbe Gossaok antoorat pare and
simple, with a sturdy dislike to reform and
conatitnlionsiism snd pepniar rights and the
‘peaoefnl march of progress" and abandon
ment of the Russian dot.tiny brqnoathed by
Peter tbe Great to his snocessors. Had he been
on tbe throne daring the past three years,
events in Europe wonld certainly have taken a
different tarn. France might have found an
ally io Russia, and ere this Constantinople
wonld perhaps nave become anbjeot to a Rus
sian Governor; while in Central Asia, England
might have been defied, Persia invaded and the
Uneaten standard floating in the Persian Gulf.
THE CZABZVXA.
Accompanying the Grand Dnke Alexander is
very fascinating little lady, who cannot, witb
her p'easant, open, cheerful face, but win gol
den opinions wherever abe goes. Tbe Frinoese
Dsgmar, of Denmark, or ss she is now oalled,
the Czirovna Marie Feodorovns, is at twenty
six more girlish than womanly, and seems to
have maintained the vivacious temperament of
her family despito her rather grim husband.
She striktcgly resemb’es her sis’.er, the Prin
cess Alexandria, of Wales, thongh she is now
for prettier, and has bright bine instead of soft
brown eyea. Her faoe is one of ths most inno
cent and aitractive possible: she does not in
the least share her husband's haughtiness of
manner, bnt her roguish eyeslook as if she were
constant expeolion of a good froiio. She is
said to have less character than the Prinoess of
Wales, but the sisters sre evidently very fond
of eaoh other, for they are inseparable. Dsg
mar was first betrothed to tbe Grand Duke
Nirholaa. the Czir'a eldest bod, who died at
Nloein I8G5: and it is said that when he was
dying he plaoed her hand in that of bis brother
Alexander, with a test request that she shonld
accept the latter when he himssif waa gone;
request which, as is seen, was fulfilled. Bnt
it ia said that the Frinoefs g»7e her heart to
poor Nicholas, and that her prevailing senti
ment toward her present hnsband is one rather
awe and respect than affection.

The Hemnewlfe ot Use Future.
From the New York Tribune. 1
We have before memiopedwith pleasure and
approbation the elnb of yonng ladies in Boston
which gives its winters to tbe weekly hearing of
wisdom from the lips of poet* and (hilosophers.
Pretty is the picture of all these fair disciples
sitting at tbe feet of such a Gamaliel as Mr.
Emerson, bnt we submit that a far prettier one
is that whieh we now get of them in the
kitohen. For there they are. Dropping books
for bona, philosophy for the frying ptn, mete-
physios for mntton, art for apple pie, they are
on the high road to such aooompltehmeuts as
tbe wildeet dreams of the most nnmitigated old
bachelor could not hive foretold. Every week
each gentle member of the elnb contributes
something to a feast, breakfast, dinner or sup
per given at the house of one of them. Many
and merry are the rivalries in the preparation
of that ambrosial food. So successful have
been tbe efforts of these charming amateur
cooks that one of them is abont to gather and
publish tne recipes embodying the most de
licious results of their experiments. A cook

A Gambling Hense.
Ladies are forbidden to step forth within the
precincts of Hr. John Morrissey's great and
elegant gambling house. This veto was put
upon the ladies by the l'oung Men's Christian
Association, for the purpose of Baring the ladies
and mining the men; or, as wonld appear most
dearly in sensible minds, for the purpose of
raining both, for how are women to be saved if
men go to deslrnotion ? And mneh more cer.
tain ia the faot that shutting the women ont from
any place where men congregate is the best
mesne in the world to abandon it to donbtfnl
fat*. A lady, however, went into John Morris
sey’s house ths other day, and looked it over.
8be was aooompanied by a highly agreeable and
intelligent Southern gentleman, to whom she is
greatly indebted for a minute explanation of
tbs workings of this institntion, its follies and
failings. The bones is magnificent in frescoing,
earring, furniture, cut glass, carpets and chan
deliers, beyond anything that ean probably be
■eeo in this oonntry. The card tables were
