Add to above the excess of stock in Euro
pean ports, 254, 900 bales excess in United
States ports, $4,000 bales and in spinners'
hands 100000 bales, making the total sup
ply for the year 6,479,000 bales. Allowing
that the consumption for the entire year
will be at the rate of La, 900 bales per week,
which rate can only be reduced by extreme
ly low prices, there would be on hand at
the end of the year, 5000 bales.
Ben Wade Heard From.
Ex-senator Wade has declined the tender
made him by Secretary Fish Of President
or Umpire in the boundary convention be-
tween England and Liberia Wade says
his position as chief law officer of the
Northern Pacific Railroad will not permit
him to be long enough away to attend TO
that business. The position he now fills in
the railroad company is the one which was
offered Minister Schenck prior to the latter's
having been appointed to the English Mis-
sion.
The Apache Policy.
Delegate Mccormack from Arizona to-
day presented a petition to the President,
signed by all classes of citizens of the Ter
ritory, asking that the control Of Indian
affairs be given to the military authorities
and not to the Peace Commissioners. The
President took the petition and said he hop
ed the recent order of Gen. Scofeld would
satisfy the people of Arizona. The gov
eminent proposed to deal summorily and
vigorously with the Apaches, if after duly
notifying them to 60 and remain on the new
reservations where they would be fed and
protected, they continued on the war path.

SaIutary Effect of Schenck's Mining
Scheme.
There has been so much said lately about
Jobs in which Grant himself is engaged that
the Schenck affair has created just the least
bit of uneasiness at the White House. 1t
has even been intimated by the President
that perhaps this lending of his name for
speculative purposes by our accredited
representative at the Court of st. James is
not the right thing after all. This remark
! able concession is considered as suspicious
! of a change of heart on the part Of our
ruler; and now that he has gone thus far
! in condemnation of Schenck, public CON
! fession may be expected, relative to Grants
connection with the Seneca stone ring.
Grants Aid to the Opposition.
Grant is Just obstinate enough to increase
whatever opposition already exists in Con-
gress. He will treat every disaffected Re-
publican as he treated Fenton, Upton
| SchurZ, and the members of the Missouri
delegation, last session. If they ask any
| fayors outside OF the usual routine of busi-
ness, they will be treated almost insultiugly
and in their natural indignation they will
keep this movement going. There is all
ready fair understanding among the lead
ing men of both parties as TO the opposition
TO Grant. There has been great advance
ment in this direction within the last few
weeks. Senators and other public men ap
proach this question without the least diff
dence. There viii be many things in legis
lation this winter that will strengthen thi!
opposition, and when Congress adjOurns
plan will have been fully matured which
will cover the whole ground.
Montgomery BIair's Views of Demo
cratic Policy.
Special TO the Louisville Courier-Journal
A long interview with Hon. MOntgOmer,
Blair on the Presidential campaign is printed
here. Mr.. Blair roundly denounces Gran
as an ignorant man, with strong viii tina
compels Congress to obey him in all things
sLet the Democratic party as an Organiza
ton stand back, and let the field be KEEP
clear to the disaffeeted and independent Re
publicans. The Missouri programme suit
me. There the Radicals were defeate
through this kind of cooperation. Let tn
! Radicals cali their convention and nominal
, Grant, and then let the Independent Re
, ! publicans bolt and nominate whoever the
/ please, and then let the Democrats rally t
, his support. This is the way Lincoln GO
! in in 1860, and in this way Grant can easil
: be defeated"
Repsrter-Do you think the Democrat
as a party would acquiesce in this?
Mr.. Blair believe they are fast comm
ND to it. have reason to know that it ha
been under consideration now for about
wear, and 1t meets with but little opposition
g / met Senator Casserly yesterday, and b
5 tells me he warmly approves this polio.
I Senator Stockton sends me word that b
!, approves it. met Bob Ould to-day an
:. talked it to him, and his eyes glistened ;
o the prospect that the South could be re
a lieved of military tyranny. You kno
Wade Hampton long ago advocated this
n the true policy of the South, and 1t is I'M
S versally acknowledged that the opposition
d Grant agree as to general principles. III
y Independent Republicans are in favor OF civ
o service reform, reduction Of taxation, al
+ revenue reform. They are opposed to M
!. nopolieS, to bartering away our public d
r main to grasping railroad corporations,
is voting subsidies TO steamships, to giviI
IS power to the President to declare marti
n law in the States, to the rapid progress no
being made toward Capitalization, to co
t ruption, to fraud, and to nepotism, and
e are the Democrats, except few histor
d traditions. The Democrats have no 9th
d platform. They are fighting for the san
t. principles, hence the greater reed of SUI
S; cooperation. ,,.,
ID Rtporter-Who do you think would MAJ
the most formidable anti-Grant candidate
Mr.. Blair-There are about half doze
v among which there could be no partlcul
,e choice. My personal preference is for W
s. liam Cullen Bryant.
