Washington, December 15.—The fol lowing is the condition of tho cotton and com crop as furnished by the Departmenl of Agriculture: The cotton returns from correspondents for the month ending December 1st, 1879, substantially confirm the report of the month previous. The weather has been favorable in all sections of the cotton belt. Reports of the product west of tho Missis sippi river are more favorable and will in crease the aggregate of Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas over that reported last month. Thc following is a synopsis of the re- orts: '' North Carolina—Five counties re port the product averaging 5 per cent, more than last year. Twenty-two coun ties average 25 per cent. less, and six the same. South Carolina.—One county re ports 20 per cent, more, eleven an average of 17 per cent, less, and two the same. Georgia—Twelve report an average of 12 per cent, more; thirty-two report 20 per cent, less, and nine as last year. Florida—None report more; eleven report an average of tenper cent, less, and two the same. Alabama—One reports 10 per cent, more; fifteen average 16 per cent, less, and eight the same. Mississippi—Fourteen average 20 per cent, more; fourteen are 10 per cent, less, and three are the same. Louisiana—Four report an average of 15 per cent- more; ten report 10 per cent, less, and one the same. Texas—Nine counties report an aver age of 24 per cent, more than last year, thirty-five counties report an average of 39 per cent, less, and eight the same. Arkansas—Nineteen counties report 20 per cent, more; six average 16 per cent, less, and five the same. Tennessee—Nine report 15 per cent, more; two average 20 per cent, less; seven the same. Com.—The com crop during November depredated through imperfect ripening in our heaviest growing regions—the States north of the Ohio river and Missouri, some States falling off 10 per cent. This will reduce the average yield per acre of the whole country to twenty-nine bushels, which is exceeded by that of only one former year—twenty-nine and four-tenths In 1875. This reduces tho aggregate pro duction about 55,000,000 bushels from the November figures, but still leaves the crop larger than any previous year by 150,000,- 000 bushels. Tho States and Territories of tho Mississippi return orer 100,000,000 bushels more than in 1878. Congress. Washington, December 15—In the Senate Mr. Yoorhees, of Indiana, presen- ted’the petition of 7,000 ex-soldiers and and sailors, praying to be paid in green backs the difference between tho value of greenbacks in which they were paid for services to the government, and the value of gold at the tune of payment. Laid on the table. Mr. Butler, of South Carolina, intro duced an amendment to tho Senate joint resolntion, introduced by Mr. Bayard, withdrawing the legal tender quality of greenbacks. The resolution as proposed to be amended will read, “that from and after January 1st, 1875, the Treasury notes of the United States shall be receiv able for all dues to the United States, ex- copt duties on imports, and shall not be otherwise a legal tender, and any of said notes that shall thereafter lie issued, shall bear this subscription.” Referred to the Finance Committee.

Washington, December 15.—The President to-day nominated Thomas M. Blodgett Collector of Customs for the Dis trict of St. Mary’s, Georgia. Sew Books. The Abbe’s Temptation, by Emile Zola, translated by John Stirling; T. B. Pe terson & Brothers, Philadelphia. Price 75 cents, in paper. The above is the title of the latest pub lication of the translation of the great French Novelist, Emile Zo^t, by Messrs. Peterson, of Philadelphia. The present work stands out in striking contrast to L’Assamoir, received a few days since. There the scenes depicted areTound in pla ces where harsh lines cannot but be seen, and places described which are full of crime and degradation. The Abbe’s Temptation, however, while dealing with lowly life with hardly the rustle of a silk dress or the flash of a dia mond about it, though depicting the de graded condition of the French peasantry, paints, in the hero of the work, a charming picture of purity and teaches a lesson well worth the learning. The general reader, who is but slightly acquainted with the genius of M. Zola, wonders that he is the author of both. The Abbe Mauret is the devoted cure of a poor village whose people are steeped in vice and degradation. He leads a blame less life. Arduous toil and midnight vig ils dethrone his mind and he is taken to a deserted village, where he is placed in charge of a half wild neice of his uncle, Dr. Pascal. Here his mind is gradually restored, and with it comes strength and love. The remainder of the book should be read to fully appreciate its pure, simple and pathetic love passages. What a Pily; that the otherwise beautiful girl should have such bad teeth. And all because she did not use SOZODONT. It costs so little to buy it considering the good it does, and its benefits stretch out into her uture life. Poor girl! declOlw JW LOCKETT, JOSEPH BOND LOCKETT & BOND, GENERAL BROKERS.
