1t is stated that important documents on
the cotton question has been submitted by
DIR. Forbes, the Cotton Commissioner Of the
Indian Government, who was recently sent
to visit the cotton States of America, and
after tour through all of them except
Texas, now presents his returns. He
estimates the probable yield of North
| Carolina and South Carolina over
100000 bales, Georgia 10000, Alabama
100000. As to the other four Estates he
spoke of the desolation ofwar and scarcity
of labor as likely to reduce their produc-
ton to 10000 bales. His total estimate, in
Guiding Texas, Is not more than 100000
bales, of which he thinks not more than
100000 can be spared for expectation. Mr..
Forbes does not lose sight of the higher
estimates by respectable parties, but be-
lieves the crop prospects have deteriorated
in price since those estimates were formed.

States has required that their independence
should cease. 1t is hoped that in the course
of time the inhabitants of the annexed
countries will be thoroughly satisfied with
their incorporation. In bringing in the bill
Bismarck expressed the hope that the Diet
would leave the details of accomplishment
in the hands of the King, who would act
with the necessary consideration.
