Nobody cared for it, for most people

and the honor literally foreeil upon
him. This event thrilled the people
and caused them to lake heart again.

In 1876 these two were again pitted
ic against the other l»y llicir re
spcclivc parties. The Democracy
miller Smith was completely victo
rious.
This was more than the great
Whiteley, chief Mogul of defunct
Radicalism, could stand; and like a
sensible man he emigrated lo Colo

There could lie no doubt of the
Democratic victory. Ilaycs, the

Great rejoicing prevailed throughout
the country.
But with defeat the Radical lead
ers became desperate. They had
revelled for twenty years in public
ilumlcr. They were Buccaneers of
i lie worst type.
Old Each Chandler was the leader
and his son, Hilly E—a scion in
every way worthy of the rascalities
of his ancestor, was chief of staff.
The clans were called. From the
East came the Blaines, the Hoars
and the Edinuudsc*; from the North
came the Conkliiigs, the Camerons
and the Arthurs; from the West
•suite the Shermans, the Morions and
the Bogans; from the South came
llio Kelloggs, the Risbccs, the Me-
Linn, etc., ad injinilum.
When they assembled, hell never
yawned for a hungrier set of vul
tures, nor a more precious set of
scoundrels.
Their audacity and boldness was
equal to the crime they were about
to commit. The Presidency was lo
lie stolen from the man elected and

had sworn to support the constitu

Certain it was that the conspira
tors would make an effort to rape
the Presidency, but certain every-
l*ody believed the constitution would
balk and defeat them.
At last an electoral commission
was suggested as the road lo a speedy
and simple solution of the question.
It was an adroitly drawn hill to that
■ffcel, which came before Con
fess.
The Republicans who advocated it
spoke through lips of hooey. The
lordly but now defunct Conkling
consumed a day in its discussion.
The cold mid steel-heatted Edmunds

fllli COTTON CATKttPILLAR.
editors Telegraph «t- Messenger:
There appears in your daily of June
27tli an interesting letter on the
cotton caterpillar, and referring lo
Hie insert enemies of the worm, he
details au important incident, as fo).
lows:
“Late last mouth I obtained a cot
ton moth and carefully secured it in
a small box. On examining il to
ward the spring, I found that u par-
ante was ill the moth when captured,
and on careful examination with a
good microscope, 1 found that Hie
parasite had lived some lime within
the body of the moth, having de
voured Hie iuucr portion of the
body and emerged from a round ori
fice in Hie center of the hack. I re
gret very liiurli that Hie parasite
had escaped. 1 am sure the moth
• the true Aletia.”
suggest, aud il is for that pur
pose 1 write lids letter, that those
who have opportunity this year se
cure some ol the mollis, place them
iiinler glass, and if they are infested
willi a parasite, lo send them, to
gether with the parasite to the ento
mological department al. Washing-
toe, so that it may he determined Hie
kind and nature of the parasite.'-’
Previous to the year 1878. when
the government commi-sion began
its labors no parasitic enemies of the
oiton caterpillars was known lo
iilomologists. Many •■nlcrpillars
were known to he destroyed by
birds, wasps and other external ene
mies. All ^ichneumon parasite also
h ol keen seen by intelligent observ
ers at the South but had not come
to the knowledge of scientists. The
investigations of the commission
in 1878-ff brought to light thirteen
parasitic enemies of the caterpillar.
Of these, one destroys the eggs of
the worm, and the remaining destroy
the caterpillar of the chrysalis.
The peculiar destructive powers of
Hie parasitic enemies over those of
the external enemies a* birds, wasps,
etc, are shown in the fact that Hie
latter catch and destroy a caterpillar
occasionally as part of their varied
food, whereas Hie parasites spend
their lives in depositing their eggs
upon or In the bodies of caterpillars.
Tlic young, batched from these eggs,
burrow into the catcrpill irss, and
feed upon their fatly parts. Some
mature rapidly a,ml issue from the
caterpillars, which die in that stage.
Others mature more slowly, and the
caterpillar passes Into the chrysalis
stage, beforo il succumbs. As the
caterpillars form the sole food of
these parasites, aud os Hie latter lay
hundreds of eggs and have several
broods in a season, it will he seen
that tho parasitic enemies of Uto cot
ton worm contribute most to keep it
in check. The importance of the
fact chronicled by Captain Fort will
be seen by tho following statement
of tho operations of theso thirteen
parasites. As to seasons, tho egg
parasite bos been observed in the
summer; active also iu tho summer,
llio tachiua and other flics are most
while the ichneumons appear in the
late fall. As to the Btagcs of life,
they arc all confined to the egg, the
larva and tlio chrysalis. None dis
turb the mature or moth slate. But
the moth preserved by Captain Fort
seems to have Itarborcd a parasite of
some kind. If further observations
develop it as a true parasito of the
cotton moth in the late fall tho round
of tho insect enemies will be com
plete. It will be seen to be hounded
to death In all seasons, and in all
Magcsof its life, by minute enemies
against which it lias no defense. Ad
vancing northward from ils winter
quarters along tho immediate bor
ders of the gulf, its columns arc so
harrassed ami thinned by these guer
rillas, that few moths ever reach the
middle ami northern bells of cotton.
The effects or parasites in limiting
llic multiplication of hurtful insects
may be seen in the following illus
trations :
In the year 1857 there nppeared,
for Hie first time on this continent,
al Montreal, Canada, the common
While butterfly of our gardens. It
had come from Europe, its native
home, probably in somo English
cabbages. Since that lime it has
spread rapidly all over the States
east of the Mississippi. In Europe
its ravages arc (inconsiderable; here
it soon threatened to drive the cab
bage from cultivation. In Europe it
had a parasitic enemy, u small fly
that kept it in check; here it multi
plied unchecked and uncontrolled.
Some two or three ycais ago, how
ever, the English fly was bred from
its chrysalis at many places in the
United States. This will doubtless
take in hand the cabbage worm, and
this will become harmless as in
England.
In the year 187ff Dr. Thomas, en
tomologist of Illinois, reported a
new cabbage worm and expressed
grave apprehensions as to it* ravages.
The writer saw it here the next year.
A parasitic fly was bred from Uiit.
new pest, however, nml the appre
hensions as to its future have been
dissipated.
About I860 the potato beetle was
discovered in Nebraska, and lown.
It advanced eastward fifty to sev
enty miles a year until it lias spread
all over the Western, Middle and
Easleru Stales, nml even crossed
into Europe. Such a calamitous in
sect invasion lias scarcely lw»cn
known in history. The Irish potato
seemed to lie doomed. The vigor
ous application of Baris green ami
other poisons was the only remedy
for years. Within a few years,
however, many insect enemies have
devclo|»cd nml multiplied and the
power of Hie hectic is broken.
A knowledge of the parasites of a
given insect docs not simply gratify
tho curiosity of the scientific ob
server. Il may lie turned to good
account in checking Uie spread of the
insect. Had not the European para
site of the cabbage butter fly ap
peared in America, it would not
nave been diflciilt to have imported
il from England. In like manner,
should n parasite of Ihu cotton cat
erpillar Im found at one |miiit, and
uol at others, It may he easily trans
ported. A full history of the insect
enemies ol the cotton cnltcrpillur
is disimblc; and the suggestion of
Capt. Fort is timely nml eminently
practical. Respectfully,

OIIR MtttAT STAPLE.
Prmprrti or the New Crop.
Washington, July 10.—-The statis
tical returns of the Department of
Agriculture for July, which are
very full, show that cotton has im
proved since the lstof June, its aver
age, condition being three points
belter on the 1st or July. From
Virginia to Georgia, and West of
the Mississippi, every State shows
higher figures. From Florida to
Mississippi and Tennessee, the cou-
” *on has slightly declined. The
„ oral average is 92, which is high
er than in July of 1873 aiul 1874 and
lower than in any other year of the
past ten. It was 93 in 1876and 1879,
and 95 last July. This condition is
due to the late, wet spring, and is
rapidly and generally improving
under favoring skies.
Tho figures ofUio several States
are as follows: Virginia,85: North
Carolina, 90; South Carolina, 98;
Georgia, 92; Tennessee, 92; Ala
bama^; Mississippi, 87; Tennes
see. 70; Louisiana, 96; Taxas, 97;
Arkansas, 90.
Iu Texas and South Carolina the
condition is better than in July of
1881, and the some as at that date.
In Louisiana the drawbacks report
ed are those of the past, and arc ma
terially deficient stands, alow growth
and gcnoral backwardness. The
returns arc nearly unanimous in in
dicating a good degree of vigor and
rngidity of growth. Thus far there
isonly a loss of Unto for develop
ment and fruitage. Future favorable
condition may make good the de
ficiency, but unfavorable weather in
July and August would make a
lull crop impossible.

•Ic Hurrahed for Jr nr. Davli.
•'ilutuMa (Trail.) HeraM.
Joe M. Ramey and wife, of Mem'
phis, are visiting Mr. Rainey’s old
homo in Columbia, Tenu. Joe looks
as young as he did in prison at
Camp Douglas, twenty years ago,
when he cried out, “Hurrah for Jeff
Davis!’’ a proceeding very danger
ous iu those days iu that locality.
The prisoners were drawn up
line, and a cannon loaded to the
muzzle placed iu front or them, and
an officer threatened to touch it oil’
if the name of Ihcinau that hallooed
for Jell Davis was not given. The
brave men around all stood unmov
ed, and said hy their silence that
they would suffer death rattier than
iM'tray Joe, whom they all liked.
J«h* was about to step forward and
acknowledge that he had committed
the awful crime—for hois brave and
true, when a man named Coffee
sung out that “Joe Rainey did it.”
Joe was taken oil'and placed in sol
itary confinement, and fed on bread
and water, nil of which ho bore
cheerfully without a murmur.
