The deficiency in the visible -up pi v, as compared with one year ago. is now 634.000 hales ; and practically there are only eight months to make thi* good, either by reduced consumption or in creased supplies. The strength of these statements i* tooohviou* to require comment. The reports of the Southern cotton exchanges were rather fa vorable, except from Louisiana. Mi ssissippi and Florida, where ex eessive rains have done much damage by beating and rotting, besides delaying the work of pick ing. On the whole, however. Oc tober was more favorable to tin* crop than September, and Nash ville estimates an increased yield, but generally some decrease i- es timated. The War. Constantinople, Nov. Hi. — The Russians have been repulsed near Kars after prolonged light ing. There has been a heavy snow in Asia. A council of war, under the presidency of the sul tan, has decided to largely rein force Mehemit Ali. Rumors of peace negotiations are denied. London, Nov. 16.—A Reuter telegram from Erzeroum con tains the following: The Bus sians captured Fort Fzizie on Wednesday, but were immediate ly expelled. Inhabitants of Er zerouui have participated in the recent fighting, and the hiss has been considerable. There is general enthusiasm. Russian | cavalry have appeared on the north of Erzeroum. A special dispatch from Erze roum to tin* Daily Telegraph says-: In the assault on Fort Fzizte the Russians suffered heavily. It was a hand Jo baud light for the trenches in front of the redoubt, and then the fort was carried at the point of the bayonet, but Mehemet L’asha, a Prussian, rallied the Turks and they retook tin* fort and repulsed the Russians with great slaugh ter. The Times Vienna special says General Heimann and Ter giikossotf have only about 2,000 men, a number that i* inade quate for a regular siege of Er zeromn. They must carry it by assault or retire to Soghaul mountain, as they cannot subsist an army on the Denboyum. The Times' Vienna eorrespon dent estimates the Russians be fore Erzeroum at 25,000, insuffi cient to invest the place. Mtilik tar Pasha is confident of his abil ity to hold out until reinforce ments arrive. Batoum also seems as safe a* ever. London, Nov. 16. A Reuter telegram from Ragnsa says the Montenegrins have taken by as sault all the defenses of Anta vari, except the principal fort, which holds out, though damaged by bombardment.

Nov. 17.—A dispatch from Veran Kaleli, dated Thurs day says an assault on Kars was fixed for the 13thinstant, and the troops were ready for action bv nightfall, but owing to bad weath er the assault lias been itulcfi nitely postponed. The Standard's special eorres pondenl at Constantinople tele graphs, under date of yesterday: A council over which the sultan presided was held yesterday. I am informed that general feeling was expressed by no one more strouly than the sultan in favor of making ellort to put an end to the war. in which enough had been done on both sides for glo ry, and which, if continued must inllict lasting misery on the two empires.

I’aris, Nov. 17. — dt is believed that the following will be mem bers of the new cabinet. None of them belong to either house. At the outset, they will declare that they only hold office provis ionally: Minister of war. Major (Jen. < Jrimandet de Rochebonet, now commandant al Bordeaux; minister of the interior, Mon. de Wclclie, now prefect of theNord; minister of finance, M. Fare, now director general of forests; minis ter of commerce. M. Ozenone, now secretary general of the same ministry: minister of public works M. Graft; minister of foreign af fairs, M. le Feliores Behenn. No thing is known yet about the pre sident of council or the minister of marine. President McMahon seems al together opposed to violence.— This morning, lie, in a conversa tion with an old friend, scouted the idea of a coup d'etat as pur poseless. It i* also asserted that General Bert haul declared in the lobby of 1 lie house that such an idea never had and never would enter the marshal's head. Much importance is attached to the views the Orleanists sena tors may express at the senatorial conference to-day of the dele gates from the various groups of the right. The Orleanists are ex pected to define to wliat extent they will support the government and co-operate with the legitimist and Bonapartist groups in tlie Senate. South Carol ilia Purging Herself. ( VKI)OZO, KX-TREASURER of SOI TH ( A KOI.I NA. KOI NO Ot 11. XV Of FRA ID. Com .win a. Nov. 7.—The first of the trials in the South Carolina ring cases terminated to-day with a verdict of guilty against F. L. Cardoza, the former State Treas urer. It will be remembered that he was arrested as lie was about to leave the State, in the latter part of June, upon an indictment lor diverting the taxes levied for one liscal year to the payment of indebtedness incurred in a pre vious fiscal year. This act had been made a felony by three dis line! laws—one of them made ex pressly for his ease—whieh lit* had habitually disregarded under the plea that stub a diversion was on ly temporary. The particular payment referred to in the indict ment was of the claim of the **T. W. l’rice C 0.," another name for the Daily Fnion Herald Publish ing Company, consisting solely of (iovernnr Chamberlain ami Car dozo himself. Cardoza is a mu Ini to and was born in Charleston. He was educated in Europe and served a- Secretary of Slate be fore lie became State Treasurer, which lie was from 1572 to 187*!. He was tried by the Legislature two years ago on some of the charges w hich have been made a gainst him and acquitted. Com mhi a. Nov. II.—A verdict of guilty was brought in by the jury in the Small’s bribery ease earl \ this morning A-wa-pub li-lied at the time, Robert Smalls, the colored member of Congress, from the sth District of this State, was arrested Oct.dth at Mean fori, his home, on a warrant sworn out against him by state senator Cochrane, chairman of the Legis letive investigating committee.— The charge against him was that he accepted a bribe of $5,000 while a State senator from Beau fort county in January.

( 'oixmiii \. Nov. 13.—Argument in the case ol L.Cass Carpenter, ex-Congressman, was begun and concluded to-day. Hi* defence was ably conducted throughout by his counsel,ex-jmlge R. B.Car penter, who labored assiduously to secure the acquittal oi the de fendanl, arguing that the State was yet indebted to his client in a larger sum than he was charged with fraudulently obtaining, and that he was less guilty than any of (lie ring whose scapegoat he had become. Solicitor Abney closed for the State. The Judge delivered a most impartial and comprehensive charge, and at 3 o'clock the jury retired. At 4.30 it foreman announced that they had agreed and a verdict of guilty was returned. Carpenter was greatly overcome in consequence and wept when he heard his fate. Ilis counsel made a motion for an arrest of judgment and anew tri al, but wa* overruled by the Court. Sitting Bull's Last Speech. Fort Walsh, Nov. E —Three days ago Sitting Bull, with his head men, was brought to this post and told by Colonel McLeod that he must hold himself in rea diness to move to his new quarters. He was then told that the Queen had. through her great servant at Ottawa, chosen this home for him that lie might live in peace and keep himself clear from entangle ments with the American troops ; that she had had to ask her own Indians to allow him 1o live near them, and that they had getter ously consented; and that she ex pected him to behave himself, to be a good neighbor to the tribes near him, to submit himself to the police who are charged with his welfare, and to yield to the Queen's servant's proper respect and obedience in all things. "The Queen,'' said McLeod, in conclu sion, "is a good and kind mother, as von already know; but she is also a mighty ruler, and when In dians like you who come to live in her country forget her kindness and drink whiskey and fight and kill her other Indian subjects, then she becomes angry, and smites them with both hands; for that i*justice." Sitting Bull's reply was a most eloquent one, and in marked con trast to the speech he made to the commissioners. He said: J fy friend and all the Queen's men whom Tso respect: I have heard your talk. I knew you would speak to me in that way. Nobody told me. I just knew it. It is right. I came to you in the first place because I was being hard driven by the Americans.— They broke their treaties with my people, and when I rose up and fought, not against them, but for our rights as the first people on llii* part of the earth, they pur sued me like a dog. and would have hung me to a tree. They are not just. They drive us into war, and then seek to punish us for lighting. That is not honest. The Queen would not do that.— Long ago when 1 was a boy l heard of t he Queen, now my great mother. I heard that she was ju*t and good. Now 1 know it. You gave me shelter when 1 was hard pressed. My own life is dear to me. Gut 1 did not value it when I fought the Americans, but 1 did value the life of my nation: there fore. 1 brought my people to you. 1 thank you for wliat you have done for them. 1 will go to the Red Deer and be at peace. Tell the Queen that; tell her I will be a good mail, that my people will be good. Tell her also that we never were bad, for she knows that il is not wrong to tight for life. My people are weary and sick. I will take them to the Red Deer; and now I declare be fore von that 1 will not make any trouble.or annoy you, or give pain to the Queen. I will be quiet. I w ill never fight on your soil unless you ask me to help you. Then 1 will light. 1 wish you good bye. Place me where you like. 1 will be at peace in Canada. But you who are brave *oldier* and not treaty breaker*, thieves and mur derers, you would think me a coward if 1 did not die fighting the Americans. Therefore, while l go to Bed Deer now In live at peace (here the speaker almost shrieked) I will come back when tu\ brave* are strong; or if they will not eoiue with me 1 will come alone, and light the American? until death. You 1 love and re *peet ; them 1 hate, and you. Queen'* soldiers, would despise me if 1 did not hate them. That is all. lam ready lo go with you to the Bed Deer. sitting Bull's head men grunt ed their assent and approbation, and the party retired. On leav ing the fort for his camp, Sitting Bull wept, and handed a lew beads about among the police of fleers as keep sakes. At the camp the braves embraced him, and he made another speech, reviewing what he had said to the police.— When he told them he had sworn to light the Americans again.even if he had to tight single handed, the braves yelled and grunted en thiisiasticaily. The Nez Forces who lied here before Joseph's surrender to Gen. Miles, have nearly all returned. They attempted to between this post and the ItH were warned off. Swjie of them, it L said, crossed t“ mountains into British Columbia, probably with the intention of joining their old allies, the Okanagan*. Courier,*, from that province report that the Indian troubles there are subsid ing, the commissioners appointed by the British Columbia and Do minion governments having sue ceeded in adjusting the reserve question satisfactorily. Altogeth er, the prospect of quiet times a long the frontier is a good one. but then Indians are ••mighty on sartan." Tabling** oh the Elections. .Mr. Talmage lectured before a large audience in the Brooklyn Tabernacle Friday evening upon the result of the election. He said: “The mirthful event of the week and the joke of the present National Administration is the appointment by President Haves of < 'oloue! Ingersoll as Minister to Germany, the birthplace ot modern infidelity. Colonel In gersoll lias been filling ihe land with blatant infidelity, and has been recently making an assault against t lie Rev. Dr. Prime, the Nestor of religions journalism, and on the stage of our own Academy of Music took the view that God was a great ghost. Pres ident Hayes is a Methodist, and now he sends Inger oil to Ger many, a nomination so lit to be made that it has kept me smiling all the week. We hope he will accept the nomination. Our own country can stand it, and tier many will feel no shock. The election—how are you pleased with it f It was necessary to e lect the foremost gambler in the United States to the office ol State Senator before the people could realize the infernal depth into which modern politics could sink. We have reached a turn ing point. If Tweed had stolen only half as much as lie did in vestigat ion and discovery anil reform would have been impossi hie. It was not until* he had made his thefts so outrageous that the whole world was com polled to investigate them that the tide turned. The re-election of John Morrissey to the office of State Senator seemed to be a ne eessitv in order that all decent people might realize what we have come to. To make the thing more conspicuous he has been elected not by his old-time partisans, but by Republicans.--- Hamilton Fish, General Grant’s Secretary of State, voted for him ; Peter Cooper voted for him ; the brow n-stone fronts voted for him ; the Fifth avenue equipages vo ted for him; Murray Hill voted for him.and if some of you had lived there you would have vo ted for him. Meanwhile gamb ling i- made honorable. Three cheers for the plug-uglies and the dead beats and the roughs of the Sixth Ward* While the news was last Tuesday night being re eeived at the political headquar ters the gambling hells also wait ed for the glad tidings. But the chief headqurrters of that move ment was perdition, and as the returns came in Satan laughed till all the arches echoed with glee.
