positions to see the-caffold and hear the

on the east side of the jail. and BY 1890
the crowd had increased to seven or
eight hundred, but all was quiet and or
DERBY, At 10 o'clock the prison pbysi-
clan reported that Whalen was in good
nerve, and that no agitation or furry
was noticeable in him, and short time
after the Sheriff announced everything
in readiness for the execution. At ii
O clock Whalen was pinioned and, ac-
companied by the Sheriff and three
priests, he was led from the
prison, looking very pale and excited,
but he moved along with firm
step, and mounting the stairway to the
scaffold, responding as he walked dis
tinctly to the prayer Of the priest. After
the Pater Noster had been repeated, he
said ~ beg pardon for any offense |

on the white cap and drew it over his
face, adjusted the rope. and in few
minutes the drop fell, and Whalen hung
by the neck for four minutes, suffering
intensely, and then breathed no more.

The Secretary of the Navy to-day sent
10 the Houss q voluminous correspond
ence relating to affairs in Paraguay. 1t
appears that ON the 4th Of December
Admiral Davis addressed letter TO
President Lopez, in which he says 1t
does not belong to me to define or even
consider the status of Bliss and Master
man, but on this subj your Excellency
will, | do not doubt, repose contidencein
the Justice and friendship of the United
States, which has afforded your Excel
lency many recent proofs of its respect
and sympathy.
Lopez replied that those persons we're
criminals deeply committed in the affair
of q horrible conspiracy, and very par
ticularly the former, and that be would
cheerfully consent to the delivery OF the
criminals, provided it was requested in
manner more in conformity with the
fact of their being accompllces OF ex-
Minister Washburn, and that the first
named was intimately acquainted with
his intrigues in the character of coz
spirator, an agent of the enemy, OF
which he is accused in the national tri-
bunalf.
To this, Admiral Davis responded that
it was no part of his official duty either
to offer or refuse any terms which would
affect the leading criminal condition of
those two persons; and again referring
to the friendship of the United States to-
ward Paraguay, he asked that Bliss and
Mastsrman be embarked on board of his
vessel, subject to the disposition of the
Government of the United States, of
whose Justice and friendly sentiment Lo-
PEE could entertain no doubt.
Lopez acceded to the request, saying,
however, that it could not be complied
with in sense of a reclamation but of
graceful courtesy on the part of the Gov.
eminent of Paraguay toward the United
States.
The Election Committee considered

The Mania for Cotton Planting.

A correspondent oflhe Columbus Geo.
Enquirer sends the following sensible COM
munication on the above subject:
Editor Enquirer: Another year has
dawned upon farmers, bringing in it's
train varied duties; trials Of temper and
of patience have to be met and overcome.
It is indeed q difficult matter for our old
farmers and planters to become accustom-
ed to the new order OF things; TO throw
aside those old habits in which they have
grown gray is like extracting the very
marrow from their bones. / freely SYM
pathize with them in their distress; and
brway of relief to their CALLED feelings,
would suggest that they turn over their
farming interest to their sons. Youth
eau adapt itself to circumstances better
thep Old age.
Here and hereabouts, farmers have
buckled on their armor for the coming
fray between themselves and mother
earth, and earth's numerous progeny
Freedmen-tliose of them that are pleas
antly located, and have kind aud gentle
manly employers or superintendents (over-
seers have, by common consent, bsen
tabboed on plantations)-have comnrenc-
ed the years work in earnest, and SO far
have exhibited commendabe disposition
to make, something lor their employers, as
well as for themselves.
On every side of me the cry is cotton.
From river and creek bottoms to the most
sterile piney farm that Shingle Hill
can boast, all cry cotton for the year '69.
Every rich spot Of ground is reserved for
The staple, and tor the poor spots every
out house is being raked, the fence corners
scraped, old bone, soap-suds and ashes
carefully preserved, and even the woods
in places nave had to yield up their treas
ures to enrich the old and worn fields to
cause boil of cotton to grow where none
grew before. Even the freedmen have
caught the infection, and Sambo's eyes
fairly glisten ut the sight OF old bone.
Some-few, endowed with the gift of CAB,
speak1as glibly of fertilizers, phosphates
slightly super.phosptlated, Of bone dust
heavily ammoniated, as any Baltimore
manipriater of the article.
have no quarrel with farmers who are
straining their energies, as we'll as their
purses, to enrich their lands This is well
enough it is certainly money in their
pockets if properly carried out. But |
would, in all candor and seriousness, ad
wise that their corn, peas, potatoes, tur-
nips, and gardens should also feel the fruc-
tifying effects of their fertilizers. Think
well, farmers, before you pitch your crops.
You know as well Us do that we cannot
afford to make cotton now for less than
Is to 20 cents per pound-at Is cents we
barely pay expenses.
sid The remunerating price for cotton the
present season has stirred the energies of
black as we'll as white, and it follows that
every acre will be seeded that can possi-
bly, be- cultivated, and, with propitions
seasons, we may anticipate heavy crop
and slim price.
!: Yours, &c, PINE HILL.
