We PRINT this morning an interesting
letter upon the subject of the sea island
cotton crops. The writer, who is an ex.
perienced planter, is of opinion that the
losses of the long cotton planters have been
due more to unfavorable seasons and the
high price of provisions and labor, than to
the ravages of the caterpillar.

The euviable title OF Father OF the Housen
will stlll belong to Elihu B. Washburue, OF
Illinols, who first entered Congress in 1858 and
has been member ever slnce that date.
Hitherto he has had strong claims upon the
Speakerehp, but they were not pressed by his
friends as long as Schuyler Cotax was mem
bcr Now that ColfaT is out of the way,
however. nobody talks OF Mr.. WashburDe for
Speaker, as better things are at his command.

As the time for the assembling and organiza.
tion of the new House approaches, the contest
Tor the Speakership Is narro we'd down more
closely between Henry L Dawes, OF Masss.
Chusetts, and James G.. Blaine, OF Maine, with
the chances, at this wiring, very equally
divided. The circumstance of the new Presi-
dent ard Vice President being both Western
men, Teu 1ers IL necessary that the Speakership
should be given to the East, and either Mr..
Dawes or Mr.. Blaine Is regarded as certain OF
an election.
HENRY l.. DAWES,
of Massachusetts, was born in CummiDgton,
Hampshire county, in that Sta'e, October 30,
1916: graduated at Yale College in 1889: studied
law, and then taught school for a time, also
editing paper called the Green6eld Gdzette;
WAS u meUUeI OI the lOMti uOuot VI luo mdSsh-
chusetts Legislature during the years ls4S 1649,
and 1852, of the State senate In 1850, and OF
the State Constitutional Convention in 1853;
was District Attorney of the Western District
from 1853 until 1857, when he was elected 10
the House of Representatives, OF which he has
been member ever since, In 1859 he was
placed on the Committee on Elections, aud has
since then been the most influential member of
that committee.
JAMES G. BLAINE,
of Maine, was born in Washington county,
Pennsylvania in 1880; graduated at Washing
ton College in 1847; embraced the profession OF
journalism, and, having removed to Maine,
was for several years the editor of the Kenne.
bee JOtu mai and also of the Portland Advertiser.
Having served for four years in the state Legis.
lature, two years as Speaker of the lower house,
in 1862 he was elected TO Congress, and re-
elected successively in 1864 1866, and 1868.
