j The Cotton AVar.
, We publish as a matter of interest
to. those of our readers who are hand¬
ling cotton, the compromise of the
•‘cotton war” in Augusta :
, Yesterday, says'the Augusta Chroni¬
cle and Constitutionalist, a committee
i I appointed by the buyers of cotton and
a similar committee appointed by the
' sellers, held a conference for the pur¬
pose of trying to effect some arrange¬
ment whereby the difference between
the two parties could be satisfactorily
adjusted. The joint committee finally
adopted the weighing following : 1 be
1. All must done by
'duly sworn weighers. shall be
2. No reclamation made by
buyers shall for loss in been weight, unless the
cotton have weighed within
the three days succeeding the day of
purchase, weather permitting, Sundays
and holidays excetped.
3. In reweighing no account shall be
► kept of bale, the discrepancy the in the weight
of any unless same shall vary
from the weight billed to the purchas
ers more than one pound; and no re
clamation shall be made upon the seller
unless, after making allowances for
gains, the losses shall aggregate at least
one-dialf pound to each bale weighed,
except in cases of glaring have error.
4. The seller may the privilege
L of retaining in his possession, properly
k ticketed, ail sale samples until the
™ cotton shall have beeu shipped. After
shipmeut said samples shall become the
property of the purchaser.
The separate committees then pre
sented the paper to their respective
constituents, and it was unanimously
accepted by each. In presenting it to
the sellers, Mr. George R. Sibley said
his object all along, from the very first,
had been to protect the interest of the
planteri and this had been accomplished
by the settlement presented to ^he
eomurittee. medfog ■
At half-past three o’clock a
of the Exchange was held, Vice-Presi
dent Sibley in Poilard, the Chair.* On motion
of Mr. W. J. the resolution
B recently adopted, providing that sellers
■ shall retain the samples, was recon
■ eidered. adopted Major Alexander then read

■mously adopted as rules of the Ex- | j

It is reported that the-great absentee,
Sharon*will take his seat in the Senate
when Congress re-assembles, after the
holiday recess. He will feel as strange
as a new Senator, although he would
now be in the fourth year of his Sena
toriahservice if he had attended to the
duties of his office.
A year ago a bank in Albany, New
York, failed, its nominal assets being
valued at $775,429. The receiver has
just made a statement, showing that
securities have been disposed of for
$293,055, less than half their nominal
value—a striking instance of the de¬
preciation of property of all kinds.
The Turkish Government, by advice
of Baker Pasha, is to erect a dozen forts

chain to Gallipoli, which is to be
strongly fortified.
It is authoritatively stated that 15,
000 Mennonites will leave Russia this
winter, and that the majority'of these
will settle in colonies in Minnesota,
Iowa, Nebraska and Dakota. They
leave Russia not because of persecution,
but because, like the Quakers, they are
opposed to war, and because in Russia
such scruples are not respected, but all
men are alike subjected to conscription.
CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY.
What Was Done in Both Houses.
In the Senate, Mr. Edmunds, of Ver
mont, said that there were no joint
rules between the two houses of Con
gress, and he therefore submitted a
concurrent resolution declaring that on
the last three days of this session no
hill passed by either house shall be
sent to the other for its concirrrence,
and on the last day of the session no
bill shall be sent to the President for
his approval. He said that he hoped
that the resolution would be passed,
and that Congress would devote the last
three days of the session to the consider
ation of bills pending between the two
houses. Referred to the Committee on
Rules,
Mr. Grover, arising to a personal ex
planation, read a telegram recently
published in the New York Herald in
regard about to Oregon $95,000, State funds, amount
and ing to accounted being expended ;
not for during the ad
ministration of Mr. Grover as Governor,
He replied to truthfulness the charges seriatim, de

pended. the expiration the
At of morning
hour, the Senate resumed the consider^
ation of the bill to amend the patent
laws, and Mr. Wadleigh, of New j
Hampshire, in charge of the bill, took
the floor; but soon after he commenced
bis remarks, a message was received i
from the house announcing the death
of lion. Julian Hartridge, of Georgia. j

from the the trunk of their aged uncle,

time and started on au extended spree,
but were nipped in the midst of their
enjoyment by the arrival ajf Constable
Foiliard, who captured Mitchell. Some

‘"-'Mourning. —A Philadelphia cler¬
gyman,-the Rev. Mr.- McLeod, contends
that there is neither health, sense nor
religion in full mourning. He tells his
congregation that a bit of black ribbon,
worn in some way, will tell the story
of bereavement just as well as a com¬
plete mourning suit. A bit of crape
on-the bell-pull gives the hint to those
who puss by, and it is not consumed
necessary to cover the whole front with
black drapery. Why, then, will not the a
bit of ribbon on cloakjor coat answer
purpose, and a weight of useless expense
and a costume that is always gloomy
and, in warm weather, very uncomfort¬
able* be taken from the shoulders of
bereaved mourners? Christians, he is
convinced, ought not to take a gloomy
view of death There are glorious hopes
linked with the sorrows, and should the hopes be
of those who are gone before
symbolized rather than the sorrows of
those who are left behind. He would
have cheerful garments worn by mourn¬
ers, in token of the triumph of the glo¬
rified ones, and a bit of ribbon or crape
as a simple memorial of their own sense
of bereavement. The rest of the full
mourning he would send to the hea¬
then, who in their sorrow at the grave
have no hope.
The revisers of the New Testament
have finished their second and final re¬
vision. The company have held eighty
five sessions, and have spent 337 days
on the work, having begun it in June,
1870- The total number of the com¬
pany is twenty-four, and the average
rate of attendance throughout has been
fifteen. There now remains the con¬
sideration of any further suggestions
that may be made by the American
company, and the adjustment reserved of some till
questions which have been
the end.
Some time ago the New Orleans
Times offered a prize for th<f best poem
by a southern writer, expressing the
gratitude of the south to the people of
the north for their generosity during
the yellow fever epidemic of 1878. The
prize has been awarded to Henry Guy
Carleton, of New Orleans, whose poem
is entitled “Andromeda Unchained.”
