The amount of cotton received at all the
| cotton ports in the South Saturday reached
the total receipts Of the whole crop OF last
year. What is received hereafter viii be
the excess over the last crop. This will
doubtless swell the receipts to nearIythree
millions of bales. It is comforting to par-
/ eeive that even with the large receipts
and prospects the demand keeps up, and
prices are buoYant.

A special dispatch to the Louisville
C-0urier-Jour1pGL says that Butler, of Ten
nessse, remained in his seat during the
debate on his expulsion, and followed the
clerk with a printed copy while the evil
dence was read. He did not seem to be
much embarrassed even during the roll
call on the resolution for expulsion, and
took the unanimous censure of the House
with the utmost GOODNESS. Before the case
was called up ne was very active on the
Republican side in visiting members, and
talking with them IN the impending stu
alton. The fear that Andrew johnson
would be- returned as Buffers successor
operated TO some extent, it is said, on the
Republican side to prevent an expulsion.

The st. Petersburg journals publish the
following Iudicrous scene that occurred
in one Of the thesters recently: 4 charm
ing young actress, MadamoiseIle Blanch
Gaudon, as part Of her performance had
to sing a song de genre. Carried away by
the spirit of her role, she impUlsively
raised her leg and foot toward the audi
ence, and fell fiat on her back. This was
bad enough, but it was an accident. IN
fortunately, MademoiselIe Blanche, like
the ostrich, thought it would be all right
if she could hide her face, and hastily
seized all the available drapery within
her reach to effect that purpose, without
attempting to rise. Naturally there en-
sued a tabIeau that was not in the pro-
gramme, and the audience loudly ex-
pressed its indignation. The case was
brought before the judge Of the district,
and, although the defendants lawyer
rendered evidence that his client never
departed from the rules Of decency, and
even deposited the identical small-clothes
worn on the occasion as additional proof,
still a preliminary fine Of $50 roubles.was
summarily inflicted.
The New York journals publish certain
documents purpOrting to give an account
Of the reasons for General Manuel Que

It appears that Quesada was DESTROYS Of
obtaining more ample powers from the
revolutionary Legislature, he claiming
that in order to secUr the triumph Of the
patriot arms it would be necessary to paw
10 heed to existing laws. No attention
having been paid to Quesada's request for
dictatorial powers, be resigned his posi-
ton as GenersLin-Chief the Chamber
Of Representatives at the same time
having deposed him from command,
and having appointed General Thomas
J.. Jordan TO his place. It is as
serted that last fall Quesada relieved
Jordan of the command Of the Depart
ment Of the East, on the ground that he
had been treating with the Spaniards for
the surrender of his posts. Jordan was
made Chief Of STAFF to Quesada, and the
eastern provinces were abandoned by the
patriots. The quarrel between Quesada
and the Legislature, it is alleged, arises
from a desire OF the part Of the latter to
submit TO the Spanish authorities. 1t is
reported that an envoy from the patriots
had been sent to Puerto Principe TO ascer-
tain the terms the Captain General would
grant, and that Caballero de Rodas had
replied that the insurgents must surren-
der unconditiOnally, the lives Of all to be
spared except Of those whcshalI be proved
guilty of murder and arson.
