Second Night og the "DavenpOris.''

The success of the Davenport Brothers,
thought, on Wednesday night. But
much higher round III that ladder was left
to he scaled on the night of their second
performance. Last night tho hall was i'm
mensely packed, by our best class Of citi-
zens, so that scarcely dozen more could
have been crowded into the great hall.
Double-extrR precautions were taken, on the
part Of the audience, TO detect, or fathom,
If possible, the great mystery with which the
wonderful exhibition is surrounded, and
many Of our most worthy and responsible
citizens were sent on the stage to guard
every possible avenue that might admit Of
deception. but all TO no purpose; their
feats and tine manifestations were all the
holder and more reckless, and IN spite of
all tbs hundred knots and letters that
bound them the wonderful performance
proceeded Just the same, only moro So.
Capt StUckell and Mr.. PuTvis composed
lac special committee last night, and they
both went into the dark cabinet, both came
out alive, both agreed IN their experiences
while in, and both Acknowledged the
corn-that they give EN- up and what
an experienced newspaper man and a yete-
ran fireman can't "see, you will perceive,
cant be seen by anybody. The long and
short Of the whole thing, when phiio-
sophlcally boiled down, resolves itself into
Just this, which is to say-it is mighty

THE COTTON PR0SPECE.

In q communication to the United
States Economist, published in New
York, dated the 22d of June, Mr.. VIM.
Il. McoTe, Of Memphis, calls attention
n the fact that in communication 10
that paper 3 year previously, he stock
the position that the then growing
crop of cotton could not, by any reason
able possibility, fall short Of 1000, 600
bales. while very few journals gave 8
larger estimate of the growing crop than
$3.50, 600 bales, and many OF them only
1000 COO. BIr. Moore says he could not
then, with the best means of informa-
ton at his command, see how it was pcs
sib!e for the crop TO turn out SO little, and
that he is similarly impressed touching
the present growing crop. Mr. Moore
says:
81 find many of the leading journals
Of the country again preaching scarcity,
and predicting falling off in the present
YEARS production, not at al, as l con-
ceive. warranted by existing fees. True
it is, l think, The area of lands plantod
in cotton considerably LEES than last year,
hur rot to that extent indicated in most
published letters on the subject. A care
ful Inquiry into this question incliDes me
IN the belief that the chief decrease in
acreaGe is in those portions of up country
where cotton has not proved very sue
cessful investment, and where planters
have learned, and are now learning,
that grains aud grapes are much
more profitable growth; and l think Ii
will be found at the end of the next cot
ion season that instead of the greatly
diminished general cultivation of the
great staple, the decrease will not mateIi-
sly apply to the valley and river land OF
the cotton States, to which cotton planters
are turning their attention, but more
particularly, as before suggested, to toe
higher lands, which ought neceT to Gt
used for tint purpose"
Nv. Moore predicts that the present
YEARS crop will turn out 3,50o,0o0 bales
The New Orleans Cotton Exchange ISSUED
a report q few days ago, and the estimates
therein contained imply a crop of ?,
IA, 600 bales.

In 1848, the French republicans were
divided, as now, into two classes, The
moderates and the Reds. Discussing the
future at that epoch, Victor Hugo wrote:
s'Two republics are possible: One will
lower the ricolor beneath the red flag /;
will coin large cents from the column (de
Vendome); win throw down the statue of
Napoleon (the FirsO and erect a statue to
Marat; win destroy The Institute, The
Polytechnic School and the Ifgion OF
Honor; will sdd to the august device,
Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, the sinister
option CT Death; will make bankruptcy,
ruin the rich without enriching the poor ;
will abolish property; fill the prisons
with susp- cted individuals; destroy the
ar.s and deny God" How very closely
the international Commune fulfilled these
words tWcD:y-three years laterl

one ofths ELECTS Of csrpet.bag and SC

ONE Of the effects of csrpet-bag and seal
awag rule in Charleston, South Carolina,
has been to close the public schools for
an indefinite period, aud they viii not be
re-opcned until provision is made for pay
ing the teachers what is due them, and
for the support of the schools in future.
The money for the support Of free
schools is raised by general tax, and by
Jaw is set apart for the purpose. The
State Superintendent Of Education de-
clines making any statement as to what
has been done with this money, or why
1t Is not forthcoming. There appears to
b. considerable Indignation at the pres
ent condition Of affairs, but nobody sug-
ges,s how il is to be renedied. There
are grave suspicious that the school fund
has been fac7ifced by the officers who
should have guarded it, in satisfying the
profuse appropriations of the late cor
rupt legislature.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS EXPOSED

The people Of the South are regarded
by the correspondents of the ultra Radi-
cal Journals of the North as legitimate
subjects of misrepresentation, and they
appear to suffer no twitchings of con-
science when they write about leading
men Of this section. Perhaps no man in
the South has suffered more from North
ern Radical journals and their cOrrespon-
dents than Jeff. Davis. When be refused
to sreak. they attributed his silence to the
meaues. of motives, and when he did
speak, they construed his words TO mean
the very reverse of what he intended.
Not content with this, they have COM
meuccd the work of forgery, and attribu-
tirg private speeches to him that he never
made. One of them has been caught at
this dirty trick and exposed. The Wash
ipg!on correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes as follows:
s'The Democracy hsve their candidates
in the field. IN all these elections ad-
vices received here indicate an activity
greater than is usual during the year pre-
ceding a Presidential campaign. Prob
ably the New Departure of Jeff Davis,
a. well as that Of the Ohio Democracy,
has tended to cause the unwOn'ed vigOr.
The Tgbt in which the former regards i:
NAV be seen in the following notable
words. as given in letter from most
respectable source, received here within
few days by q prominent head of bu-
reau il one Of the departments: While
Davis was recently swinging round
the Confederate" circle, laudably
engaged in refring "the Southern
heart, " he stood sponsor TO the child OF an
intimate friend residing in the neighbor-
hood Of Chattanooga. A conversation
en.ued on The prospects of the South.
The friend was gloomy, and the rebel
| ex President cheeTed him with: '.NeVer
mind, my dear Colonel, it will all come
| out right. We have recovered a portion
| of orr ground. At the next election We
will get back every Southern State Legis'
| laturr. We can impeach the Radical
Governors, and l assure you, that if |
live. l fully expect T. b., within five
wears, reins'a'ed as Pr sident of the
southern Confederacy. The person
| from whom this sta emcut comes IS
credited with being thoroughly trust
worthy. There is lit IL doubt that jeff
Davis dii utter words, in substance, such
as arc given above, at the time and on
the occasion indicated"
Mr.. Franz; NJ Hight writes TO The
| Chattanooga Times of July II, as fol
lows:
CAS- an probably the person desiena
ted as Colonel and must in conse
ouence know as TO the truth of the state
meDt made by the trustworthy individual
in regard to Mr.. Davis conversation OF
the occasion above referred to, | dC
most emphaiically deny the truth o.
the account given. There was nothing
said by Mr.. Davis which could by
| the most suspicious be twisted aid turned
to mean what the trustworthy individual
/ saws in the above paragraph. Trere we:
ma aIjugiop made to the future that l car
remember, and be the trustworthy one
whoever he may, denounce INN as
guilty of originating and cHculatihg
malicious aud wi,ful falsehood.
That cHnches the matter about as Ell
fectually as it could be done.

GRANT has snubbed some Southern Radi-
cal office seekers, but it appears there is
reason for it. The Washington PatriC'
of July says: ga delegation from the
South, who called upon President Grant
at Long Branch, returned to Washington
very much disguised. His Excellency, it
seems, refused to see them, but gave them
to understand that his house at Long
Branch was a private residence, and that
for official business they must take their
chances of catching him in Washington.
The delegation, it is understood, came
from al impoverished portion of the
South, and had no presents to offer. Nor
was there any money in their mission"
