What Ex-Pros- Davis and
Hia Ncp3iew Say About It.
Prpws T(Retrain from New Orluaua,
Q-itii, Joaoph Davis, nephew of
Jifl’crson Davis, says there is no
money in the bank of England to
the credit of tho Confederate gov
ernment. lie also statos that Jef
ferson Davis expressed a similar
opinion before liis departure for
England. II nco tho report that
Ids vifit to Loudon was mado for
the purpose of ascertaining what
amount was in tho buuk was an idlo
one. Gen Davis says that at the
time of tho surrender of L‘e tliero
w sin tho hands of Jacob Thomp
son, who was in Canada, about
$150,000, and probably as much
more in possession of Gov Melina,
the financial agent of the Confed
eracy in England. These were all
the funds owned by tho Confeder
ate government at the time of the
surrender. Gov Mcßca sent a con
siderable sum to Hon. Charles
O' Conor to defend Davis and other
Confederate loaders who were
threatened with prosecution by the
Federal government. The old
lawyer, however, refused to accept
any compensation for defending
Jefferson Davis, Gen Davis be
lieyes these funds have all been ex
pended long since.'
Turkish Women-
The Turkish women are mar
riageable at the ago of nine years,
and by tiie Turkish law at that age,
if married, she is competent to man
age her property and dispose of
one-third of her- fortune. The law
alio ws her to abandon her husband’s
house for just cause, and will protect
her in po doing. Elio cani.ot he
compelled to labor for the support
of her husband. On the contrary he
is compelled to support her; and it
is a penal offense to insult, or ill
treat her. Should he not furnish
her with funds she is authoriz and to
borrrow in his name and even to
sell liis property. After marriage
she has the absolute control of her
own property, which he cannot
touch.
The reports iu many instances
mention that the yield of .lint cot
ton from seed cotton is very light,
and that the result of ginning shows
it to be smaller than reported last

-hales are very light, the cotton be
ing dry and fluffy. It is iinpos-i
--ble to get as full weight of cotton
into the bales as was the case last
year. On the above showi: g a fair
estimate of the crop of 1881 would
be about 4,500,000,
Governor Foster’s plurality in 0-io is
about 21,000.
