Tint cotton crop of Texas last year
Will 1,500,000 bales,
Ik Texas there ars 4,715,000 oxen
981,000 cows, 1,000,000 hol ies, 5,
015,000 sheep and 2,000,000 hogs,
Ik Waterbary, Cotta., a few days
ago, an alarm of tire was raised iu
the public schoolbAdding, nnd six
hundred school children, all panic
strickjn, rushed out ot li e build.n .
Many were trampled ttCcfer foot and
seriously hurt.
Hoadley’s majority iu Ohio wilt be
something over 12,000, a democratic
loss of 7,00 ) from last year. The
democratic loss iu Hamilton and
Coyahoga counties is about 11,000
■howiug a democratic gains of 4,000
in the rest of tho state. The demo
• crate carry 4G of tho 88 counties,
losing 3 and gaining 3. In 53 ceuu
ties the democrats, made gaius from
last year, and tho republicans did
better in 35. The legislature is prob
ubly us follows: Souati— democrats
22, republicans 11; house—democrats

jnrity on joint ballot, S!i
Tire next congressional race in the
sixth d.strict promises to bo thu most
interesting aud exciting Georgia lias
neon in some time. Mr. Blount lias
made but low minor uiistukes it i.
true, but ha has failed to do anything
highly commendatory to the represou
tutive of such a district ns the sixth.
Mr. Blouut is a clover gentleman
and works tor his friends but this is
Dot sufficient. There are a numbel
of men in tbo district who would
make better congressmen.
Mr. Blount's great mistake was in
interfering with the appointment ol
Mr. Ilauson us Capitol Commissioner
Mr. Hanson was every way qualified
for the position. He is a man o!
brain, fine ju lgeuwnt and great pa
tionce in every thing he undertakes.
Mr. Blount prevented Ids appoint
ment, doubtless knowing these facts
Enough laid. We hope he will be de
fra ted. Stewart county would bo re
juiced to see that gifted Georgian auil
true Democrat, Thomas Hardeman,
represent (lie sixth district. Stewart
always votes for Tom Hardeman.
