Cotton Growing In California and
ON the Pacific Islands.
The Commissioner of Agriculture is in
receipt of several very superior samples of
cotton grown In California and the Pacific
Islands, which certainly give evidence of
promising future for those localities In the
production of this indispensable staple
One package contains O specimen from
10000 pounds of upland cotton grown by
Messrs. Livermore & Chester, at Fort Zejon,
Los Angeles county, Calitornia-the yield
OF ll5 acres the seed for which having
been put in 80 late that the early frosts de-
strOyed majority of the balls. About 400
acres in all were planted last year, and the

The Claims Against Southern
POstmaSIeTs.
AS already stated, Government Is pre-
pairing to proceed against delinquent and
defaulting POstmasters In the lately rebel
lious States. The total amount of this class
of Indebtedness Is about S3OO0000, of
which 100000 has been paid on demand,
and nearly the same amount put in pro-
cess of collection. The general defense set
up by such PoStmasters is, that they should
be credited with the stamps which Ghey
turned over to the Confederate Govern
ment. Mr.. Cohen, at Savannah, member
elect to the House of Representatives,
claims over $4,000. and Mr.. Galloway, of
Memphis, over $4,000. The Postmaster at
Mobile has paid over $1,000 under protest,
intending to institute suit for its recov-
cry. 1t is generally believed that nearly
the whole amount can be collected, as the
Government will have the advantage of a
very stringent attachment law passed in
view OF such indebtedness.
