The contest for the Speakership may be considered about open and its importance will absorb other questions until it is finally deter mined by the Democratic caucus. Tite candidates will open their headquarters Jn Washington next week and the can vass will from then on be active and ag gressive. It is stated that a large num ber of the members will go to the Cap itol unpledged and upon their decision depends the final contest. The struggle Is mainly between Mills and Crisp, with the chances apparently -in favor of the Georgian. McMillan of Tennessee is next In importance and it 4s thought he draws his strength mainly from Mills, and as he is u strong friend of the Texan, he may not go in nt all. Messrs. Springor, II <tch and Bynum are also in the raue. The Mills men are claiming everything, while the Crisp followers are very confi dent. The San Antonio Texas Express, which has all along insisted that the Speaker of the Bouse of Representatives of the Fifty-second Congress would be a dark horse and a northern not a southern man, stated in a recent edition that the esti mate of the friends of Mr. Mills is that he will get eighty-eight votes on the first ballot in the oaucus. If this were true, It would mean that the Texan had a sure thing. The number necessary to nominate will be 118. If Mr. Mills can begin the battle with elghty-elgbt he will not have to wait long for the other thirty. The probabilities, however, are very strongly against the correctness of the calculation. The eighty-eight in cludes ten votes from Pennsylvania, tbo same number from New Vork, a dozen more from New England and all the rep resentatives from New Jersey. Their claims are not thought to be well-founded, because It 1s positively asserted that only three of the New Vork delegation will vote for Mills. For the Clerkship, General Clark of Missouri and Ox-Representatives Kerr and Malsh of Pennsylvania and Gibson of Maryland ars the candidates, but ex- Representative Voder of Ohio is the only candidate for Sergeant-at-arms. There is an army of applicants for the minor places —Montgomery Advertiser, THE SIZE OP COTTON BALES. The New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat has been discussing this question and thinks that we have finally reached the maxi mum of the cotton bale In size and weight. As has been noted the size has been steadily growing for years, for the simple reason that the railroads snd steamboats generally carry a bale for the same price, regardless of its weight, snd this has been the main cause of Increas log the bale to BOO pounds. “Com mencing with 400 pounds, the bale has steadily Increased in weight until now It has (for years 'past averaged 500. The increase has been steady up to the pres ent time, but so far this year we have dropped behind the previous one, our bales averaging only 011.34 pounds, as against 513.80, a lota of nearly two pounds. Louisiana shows the heaviest decline, 7.25 pounds per bale; Alabsuna, 4; Georgia 5.85, and Tennessee 5, and other States making a slight Increase. Whether this falling oil in weight is merely temporary, or permanent, it is difficult to say with certainty. The chanoee are, however, that bales will not grow much larger. The railroads are beginning to oomplaln of them, and the spinners In Europe have always opposed them as being difficult to handle, and therefore liable to suffer In the long journey they have to take from the plan tation to the mill, and mill owners ba7e frequently recommended the adoption of a smaller package of say 300 pounds. It Is not probable that there will be any such extreme change as this, but that the bale will remain somewhere in tho neighborhood of 500 pounds is highly probable." Tua New Vork World thus favorably mentions Georgia's Chief Executive: “Gevemor Northen, of Georgia, is dis appointing his enemies by growing in popularity every day as he shows the good stuff of which he Is made. He is a fins and eloquent speaker, with an Im- presatve presence and a splendid voice. Bis addresses in public are listened to with great interest, for in addition to the pleasing manner of his speech bis ideas are practical and his exposition of them fearless." Tn jury in the Howard case is now completed and Columbus will witness an exciting,hamiUating murder trial. The dead cannot suffer mote, and the living must receive the wounds which mad passion ever Inflicts. STIRRIXG SECTIONAL FEELING. Mr. Jim. l’almer, the Ctmmandor-in Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic lias Issued from his headquarters an order of which the following is the subataoce: Hkaimioaktek's o. a. R„ ao-ictakt- Gkxekai/s Orrrez, Albany, N. Y., No vember 4, >S91. The attention of the Commander-In-Chief has Ik—n ca'led to toe fae'. that comrades wearing the badfe and uniform of the Grand Army of the Republic participated lu a re- i-enl demonstration where the Confederate llag wee carded and dliplayed. ■ or four lonf years you braved all the per tie and vlclsaltudee of war towlpeoutallthat that 0a( represented. When your (rest work was accomplished the gren-l Union armies had become the moat powerful and effective the world had ever seen. They melted away like the enow on the hilltops under the beams of a noonday sun. You resumed the peaceful vocations ot civil life, and the na tion resumed ooce more Its career of unpar- a'elled progress, prosperity aod happiness. There never was In the history of any civil ised warfare such magnanimity evinced to wards a foe as the terms of the surrend r of Lee's army at Appomattox. We bad learned to edmlre the gallantry of the men ie had vanquished aa only men could edmlre them who had tes'ed their endurance and valor upon many bloody battlefields. Whin they Isid down tlielr arms we sought peace; we reached out tbe right band of fellowship to all who would accept Itou the broad grounds of American citizenship End unconditional loyalty. The contest hid cost us untold mil lions of dollars and the lives of thousands of the bravest and best who msrche4 un er the Stars and Stripes down Into the Jaws of death, not for a party or a creed, for men or all opinions and affiliations gave up their lives to save the Nation from disruption and the flag from dishonor. To-day ihe t ime flag which floats over and piotects the conquerors, protects equal-y as well (lie conquered. We admire tho spirit which prompts the people of the Sooth to otniuemoruie the gallantry of the men who sacrificed their lives Ip the "lost cause," but that clvllconfllct settled one great question, the battle for the Union was right, the doc trine nf secession was wrong, and the Stars and Stripes, the emblem of liberty, equal rights, Justice and law.la the only flag which ttie loyal people of this gieat nation respect aod h-.nor. We saved or r children thccon- toet they would have been compelled to en counter. We have given them a heritage of peace and pro,parity tnetead of an enormous and exponafve litigation to be settled by a Jury of soldiers a< d to-day every American citizen lain the full enjoyment of the frulta of onr great labors. We cannot afford to lose sight of the valor that achieved victory for the right. We can never forget what the oontest cost us In blood and treasure. We must not forget that loyalty to country la not a mere sentiment, bat that It requires a dovotlon to pitnclple. add that principle means that the flag which every soldier stood ready to defend with I Is life nut now be sa'uted with honor. One or the great prlncl- clplea of ourorganlzatlon Is to teach the ru ing generation loyalty to the country and fidelity t-i duty. The Uutoa soldiers have •aid in the soldiers of tin No ith: ' We have no desire to arouse sectional animosities or passion engendered by the war. Give us loyaltr an I In return we will give vou frater nity." Yon have demonstrated ycur frater nity on numerous occ .slons, but when com rades Joined In the resent ceremonies In honor of the memory of a patriotic Journal ist and philanthropist they found them selves confronted with the emblem of tree- •on, which le an erldsnoe to >ou that lhare atlU lurks la the hearts or a few a desire, by tha display of that flag, to fire the hearts of the young gsoaratlon of the South to rebellion. A oomrade wearing the badgeornaUbnnofthe order participating In any demonetratlon where the “rebel” flag le dl -played violate# hie obligation to “main tain true allegiance to the United Stetee of America; to honor lu Constitution; Iodic- countenence whatever tends to weaken loy alty, Inolle treason or rebellion, and to en- coorage universal liberty and Justice to all mankind" and brings disgrace upon the or der of which be le a member. While the Commander In-Chlef has nel- thet the right nor disposition to Intarfere with the Individual right or pilrllegea or members of tbe order, he baa assumed an ob ligation fo protect It against any and all acts that will bring reproach upon IU good name Dn you propose to surrender what you fought fbr and what your comrades who sleep In heroic gvaveo died tort As the eUn ere Iked la tbe skies, so your patrlotUm le fixed and Immovable to preserve the mem ories and finite of that great struggle, this grand army or loyal citlsene serves no other purpose It will keep fresh In tbe hearteof the rising geseratfen thatloveof country, that devotion to the Union, tbst reverenoe for the stere and stripes, the con stitution and the laws, which In the future as In the past must be the anchors which bold ua firmly to a solid, permanent and national existence. With these words of ndmonlflon t have aufflcleot confidence In your honor and tidal* itylotho princlplss of tbe order tofkel that there will be no further demonstration or parade where the emblem of “treason" U carried or displayed. Let the cause wbleh triumphed la the war bs malntlaned In the rompleteneei of Its victory and fulness of Its algnlflcance. John Palmxk, Commander-In-Chief. Faxonnicx Pjijstebbb, Adjul.-ben. Tho howl has ever since the civil war arisen and swelled In the North and West that tbe South is keeping alive tbe spirit of sectional hatred, and training ite ris ing generation to look with loathing and abhorrence upon the conquerors ot tbo Confederacy, and yet, since tbe day ot Leo's surrender there lias never emana ted from the press or the people south of the Mason nnd Dixon lino words in which have been embodied tbe spleen of sectional bitterness that la contained in this order to the G. A. R, After twenty-eevon yoars of peace ami harmony between the now united por tions of a once divided people, this wor thy disciple of Col. Elliott Sheppard Is sues an order to hie subordinates in which be reviles a tattered and defeated llag, displayed only as the true type of grief and woe, as an “emblem of trea son, which Is an evidence to you thnt there still lurks in tbe hearts of a few a desire by the display of that flag, to fire the hearts of the yonng generation of the Sooth to rebellion.'' Could narrow minded animosity go further than this? Could any words upon the ipart [of eon- federate veterans go so far towards maintaining In the youthful heart a feeling of bitterness aa this insulting language towards the drooping, bullet- riddled banner under whieb their fathers nobly sacrificed home, ambition and life to the cause which they deemed just and good It is a shroud about tbe memory of countless heroes, and ever let the Southerner hold It sadly sacred. Ulysses S. Grant during bis life-time bent all of hfs energies towards the heal ing of the existing sectional prejudice aud knew bow to honor a fallen foe, wbleh Mr Palmer might do if be bad ever faced fire coming from undor the folds of this “emblem of treason' which he now Insults. T a. kluttz, Aw A CONTEMPTIBLE NATURE. Professor Alfredo Barlli has left bis wife and and children alone in Atlanta, while he, In the supremo and absoblng selfishness of his craven nature has gone wbere he will be unhampered by a fami ly and can win his way to fame. He leaves alone a tender, loving woman who has been to him a faithful and devoted wife aself-sacriflclog nurse and help-meet to him In bis time of sickness and adver sity, to face, as beat she mey, the taunts and harsh criticisms of a censorious world; to alooe bear the terrible burden of desertion and abandonment, and the constant effort of forever trying to up hold, in the minds of her growing chil dren their father's good name. Deserted after a life of heroic devo tion and privation. Should Barlli'e ev ery hope crumble to ashes before bis very eyes and his dearest aspirations change to black despair upon tbe eve of realism his punishment would even then be mild With the sybaritic luxury of a vastly wealthy relative before bis eyes he re turned to his home where his noble W|fe has performed his duties during bis ab sence, and Its modesty palls upon his spirit, he longs to be rich and revel in the magnificence he has just left, and no not of contemptible cowardice sbal Intend betweenlilmself and the fruition of these dreams, so he leaves a wife' whose only fault lies in marrying so immeasurably beneath her. Depravity seems to have reached the lowest ebb, when the names of refined cultured women like Mrs. Jefferson Da vis and her daughter should be signed to begging letters by miserable, cowardly forgers, and lent to near friends all over the country. Such au insult is necessa rily very mortifying to these high born, well bred women, and merits prompt and severe punishment, which will doubtlessbetbeculprlt's portion aa soon as he Is discovered. W.
