FROM the Memphis Avalanche.
Ahe Condition of Things in ArISansas-
How the Negroes Behave


One Of the editors of this paper has spent
the last three weeks in Arkansas, and has
seen, from personal observation, the dis
treFsed condition of the country. The re-
ports which have reached this city have
not been exaggerated. Indeed, the condi-
ton OF the country is worse than represent
ed. Gloom and despair pervade the minds
OF the entire farming population. The
losses OF those engaged in the culture of
COTTON viii be enormous. But few will pay
expenses. The losses this year are much
larger than those of last year. Planters
are rapidly paying off and discharging
longer.
The negro is completely denloralized,
Most Of tnem have largely overdravn their
wages; and, having learned this fact. MANY
OF them have abandoned their EMPLOYERS,
leaving the cotton still unpicked, and the
result IS, planters are compelled to employ
others to pick out their cotton for which
labor they have already paid. AS so many
planters will refuse to raise cotton next
year, thousands of negroes will be thrown
out OF employment, and they will be forced
to 1--we by regular system of pilferipg and
robbery. They have already commenced
Killing stock, stealing horses, plows and
harness, with view OF setting up for them
Selves ueAL year.
Game is abundant in Arkansas and most
OF those who have abandoned their en-
Ployers are living by hunting and fishing.
All OF them have either repeater or gun,
or both, but their great trouble seems to be
IN purchasing caps, powder and shot,
Those who have stock or anything to steal
live in constant dread. The same state of
affairs exist throughout the southern States.
What we saw and heard in Arkansas can
be seen in every section of the South. The
last number Of the Huntsville Independent
says:
" We are sorry to learn that q Large por-
tlon OF the cotton now in the fields will not
be gathered, on account of the inability of
planters TO get laborers to pick it out. For
several weeks an advertisement has been
standing IN our paper Offering good wages
for fifty hands, and we understand not
more than dozen could be secured. There
are hundreds of able bodied negro men in
the county and about town, who utterly
refuse to do any regular work, contented
to cultivate little truck patch and do trif-
ling jobs about the streets, simply to sup
ply their necessary wants of food. And the
few that pretend to work do not do half
the work they did in former times and, by
reason Of this incidence, the planters lose
heavily.

Gen. snerida.,s Great speech.

4 complimentary banquet was given to
General Sheridan on Wednesday last, at
Chicago. The Mayor presided, and there
was the usual sprinkling of military and
civil politicians. Out Of the ten toasts of
fered, three were directly leveled at Cen
Sheridan; one was, "Our Guest" two 9TH
ers we're each, Major General Philip H.
Sheridan, but none of them succeeded in
drawing out the martyr of the Fifth Mill
tary District. At last, after q spread d-caGle
toast to "American Republicanism, - the
chairman, III fit of desperation, publicly
called upon Gen. Sheridan for a speech
Moved, perhaps, by conscientious scru-
pie about munching the excellent viands,
and 8ulping the costly wines, and swallow
ing the fulsome adulations got up ''regard-
less Of expense" expressly for his person
al benefit, and convinced, no doubt, that
without ipeech from him the grand Sher-
ldan banquet would be like the play of
Hamlet with Hamlet omitted, the hero re-
luctantly rose and responded to the de-
mand. The following is the report of his
speech:
You have got me on my feet. but am
afraid l shall disappoint you in the re-
marks l shall make. l am very sorry to
say that, in financial language, you have
got me in q "tight point" and, in militia
ry language, you have got me in light
place" l have been in tight place be-
fore, but [ believe it is accorded to me
that I got out by doing a considerable
amount of swearing. AS [ have stopped
that bad habit, I can only say tonight,
gentlemen, am obliged to surrender
Applause. But, inasmuch as L have sur
rendered, l can assure you had rather sur
render here i'll Chicago than in any other
place in the world. But, before [ surren-
der, I want to propose the health of the
Board Of Trade of the city of Chicago );
they were the loyal hearts at home that
were supporting the loyal hearts in the
field

Cotton-omo cause OF its DecIjne

We are permitted to make an extract
from d recent letter from a Liver
pool firm Of high standing, to q business
house in this city, in regard to the cotton
market Of that place:
We pointed out in our last the effect pro.
duced on our market by the indiscriminate
forcing off of cotton to arrive, iyreSDectiye
Of price, Oh orders received by Cable from
your side and the general demOralization
Of such transactions; this effect has become
more marked during the present week and
has led to a further decline of "a. per lb.
in spot cotton, and sd.Ol!d. in cotton to
arrive, the value OF the two being now
assimilated within 4(0!d. per lb. So long
as this course is persevered in it is difficult
to see what is to check the downward
course of value, it makes general want Of
confidence in the article, and prccludes
any revival of trade in Manchester, where
buyers stand aloof until the bottom of the
market shall be reached. and we have no
hesitation in saying that the lost is entirely
attributable to this cause and no other.-
Shippers, therefore, are only making holes
in their own pockets by not exercising q
little more patience. With crop OF two
and-a-half three million, it was fHlly Cx-
pected that middling would gradually SCI
tie down to 7 or 81. III the spring, when
our stock got up to high figures; but that
this should be precipitated noaO, when the
quantity of American in store is under
100, 600 bales, and our total stock less than
last year by 200, 900 bales, was not expect
ed, nor would it have been realised but for
the cause above assigned.
Sales during the past week reach 1900
baIes-47, 600 to the trade and II, 200 ac-
tual export Import $4,000 bales. Our
stock Of American to-day is $4,000 bales
against 1913, 900; and our total stock 45S, 600
bales against GG8, 900 bales. AAoat from
East India and United States 237, 600 bales
against liz, 900 bales, In sight 7Oj, 900
bales, against 78j, 900 bales.
For arrival considerable business has
been done at ia. Orleans, I'D. Mobiles,
and I'd. UpIands, early in the week, but
subsequent transactions have been ut
lower figure, and I'D. has been taken for
Mobiles shipping Or shipped Zone sac of
1000 bales in Ii:el with December ship
mcnt at same price as well as Orleans ship
named. To-day there are buyers at I'D,
but we do not hear Of sellers at any further
reduction. Cotton has been sold IN this
market to arrive as shipping or shipped"
before it was J1UgU, and also " ship
named while the vessel was still on her
oa,trayd passage. Such transactions will
lead to trouble and cancelment Of contracts
land properly sO) should the market turn
unfavOrably.

THE ANGEL OF SLEEP.

He droops his plumy, snow-soft wings,
He waves his balmy hand,
And wide the gate OF silence swings
That guards the shadoWy land.
Forgot is Time, the sentinel
That stands outside the door:
The gloomy train OF cares as well
That clogged our steps b0fOre;
o river OF oblivion!
Thy draughts sweet and deep,
For Memory slumbers on her throne,
Rocked by the angel, Sleep.
There is a face whose Iovelines5
Is marred by hUes of care;
But Sleep hath swept it with his kiss,
And made it smooth and fair.
There is a worn and weary brain,
That rests until the morn;
There is heart which beats with p&in.
That feels no more fOrlorn.
o Deaths fair brother, how divine
Must be that slumber deep,
More sweet, more calm, more free than thine
When his beloved sleep.

Az. Important Decision 10 Farmers ia a
EaiiTenG CanH

iSome time ago a COW belongingto farmer
wno lived upon TIE line OF the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad, in one
OF the northern counties of this State, ran
upon the track IL front of an advancing
train, throwing the rain off the track, bad
ly wrecking it, and injuring several per-
sons. The railroad company sued the own
er of the COW for the full amount of dam
age caused the train by the accident, and
recovered in the lower court u verdict for
81, goo. An appeal was taken by the farm
er to the Supreme Court ot Indiana, and
on Tuesday last the court affirmed the YER
dict Of the court below, holding the farmer
for the full amount Of $4,000 damages as
sessed. This is al important decision, as
it holds that persons living upon the lines
of railroads in this State cannot allow their
stock to run at large, so as to cudanger
the safety of passing trains, without being
legally obliged for All damages that may
ensue from such stock being run over and
throwing the trains off the track.

resenting the New Orleans district. For
some time past she has been suffering from
