Tn, Cotton Crop 1871.

We have, up TO the pre- sent time, care
fully RETAINED from making any remarks
on the cotton crop Of the year 1871, but
we desire now 10 give cur readers view of
the actual position, 81 that they may be
able to form an inte!ligen; opinion as TO
the probabl9 tendency Of the market.
The total crop of American cotton fer
the year 1870 vas 1--WE speak in round mum
bers) 4.3OO. 900 bales. Bearing this in
mind. we take up the reports of the Agri-
cultural Bureau. al Washington CITY. Very
soon after the crop of 1871 was pitchs d,
the Bureau, through lis agents in every
county il tie cotton producing States. re-
ported that the acreage planted was Is per
cent. short of the year 1870. We deduct
this Is per cent from the crop Of 1870, and
find that with equal seasons and equal ad-
vantages in every respect, the crop of 1871
could not be more than 3. 655. 900 bales
Following still the reports of the
Bureau, We have before us the re-
port for November 1871, of the actual
appearance of the matured crop and find
that the per cent. of production as COM
pared with the crop of 1870. is as follows
North Carolina, 80 ger cent !; South Caro-
lioa, GS per cent Georgia, G7 per cent

Rev. Davis w. Clark, ID. d., Bishop of the
Nj. E. Church.

Church has sustained the loss OF four OF its most
prominent divines, Bishops Thomson and Kingsley,
ana Drs. McClintOck and NadaL And now death
hes made another serious nroad upon the Church.
despatch from Cincinnati announces the death in
that city OF Bishop Clark. who has been in falling
health for several months past his death being only
a question OF time.
Davis Wasgatt Clark was born on the island of
Mount Desert, OF the coast of Maine ia the year
1912. After his preparatory studies at the Maine
Wesleyan Seminary, he entered the Wes-
leyan University at Middletown, Conn., in 1894 and
graduated from that institution in 1886 Imme-
diatey afterwards he became Principal OF the semi
nary at Armenia, N. y, where he remained seven
years The trustees we've so reluctant to part with
him that they declined TO accept his resignation but
referred the matter to the Annual Conference, by
which body his request 70 be permitted to enter
upon the active dulies OF the ministry was
granted For nine years thereafter, he nlled
important stations, being four years in New York
city. In 1889 the General Conference elected him
edlor of the Ladies' Repository influential church
monthly and also Of the books published by the
Cncinnat branch OF the Methodist Book Concern.
IN 1896 and again in 1860 he reelected to these
responsible positions, holding them until 1854 when,
by the General Conference held in this city he was
elevated to the epscOpacy the duties OF which high

volumes which were published by the Book Con-

and especially to the epscopacy, which has already
been SO severely crippled. There are now but
seven bishops OF the Church lving-Morris
James, Scott, Simpson, Baker, Ames, and Roberts,
in the order OF their ordination to the epscopacy
Bishop Norris who entered the ministry in 1916 and
was ordained bishop in 1885, is the senior bishop but
his health has been poor for some time past that
he cannot attend to any episcopal dutles while the
operations OF Bishop Roberts are restricted to the
mission work in Liberia, leaving but FIVE active
members OF the episcopacy, upon whom devolve the
manifold labors Of the home and foreign missionary
fields.
The death OF Bishop Clark occurred at twenty
minutes after O'Clock last evening, the members Of
his family and Bishop James only being present at
the time The funeral services will take place on

THE TRIUMPH OF THE FRENOH
VERNMENT.

A FEARFUL picture of the closing scenes of
the exciting drama in Paris is given by the
brief announcements in the cable kilograms.
We are told that even yesterday, when every
rational Communist must have known that
further resistance was hopeless the slaughter
was terrific, that barricades we're captured and
recsptured six times, that the Archbishop of
Paris and several active priests have probably
been killed in cold blood by the insurgents,
and that as the Government troops gave no
quarter in their victorious assaults, many of
the Commune leaders we're captured
and Immediately shot. At last accounts the
long struggle had ended in a complete tri-
umph of MacMahon's army, and order is
apparently about to be established. The
Commune movement was stained with so
many extravagances, follies, and crimes that
its overthrow was evident from the outset
and the persistence of Paris in such mad
struggle can only be accounted for on the
presumption that among the many bad things
contended for there was one good princi-
ple-the doctrine of local self-govern-
ment. Ii. Theirs, even in the hour
of victory, will earn the gratitude of future
Frenchmen if he makes vigorous effort to
have this principle incorporated, to the
greatest possible extent, in the new govern
mental system of France. If the terrible
ordeal to which that nation has been sub
jected is to lead to beneficial results of any
description, the weakening of her rigorous
old system of sweeping Capitalization should
be one of them. 1t is proved now that
Paris is no longer France; let the next step
be to establish institutions under which
Paris may be Paris, and each French city
have local life exclusively it's own.

is well worthy of the earnest attention of
such body as the Reformed Presby-
terian Synod, and the moral and
physical regeneration Of such locality as
Bedford street, for instance, would afford
them ample opportunities to display their
zeal. If they desire more extensive field of
operations, they might try to reform some of
our political wire-pullers, and If they could
induce the members of the State Legislature
to appreciate the fact that the interests of the
public and the cause of good government
deserve some real attention, they would do
more to advance religion and morality than
they will do by exulting over the misfortunes
of the people of France and the downfall of
the Pope and Emperor.

THE DEADLOCK UNLOCKED.


THE proceedings of the State Legislature yes
terday indicate that better feeling is spring.
ing up between the two houses, and there is
fair prospect that all the important business
of the session will be disposed of, in some
fashion, by the time fixed for the final ad-
tournament. The Democrats are anxious 20
avoid or evade the responsibility of adjourn
ing before an appropriation bill is passed;
and this part of the legislative business
will probably soon be arranged.
1t remains to be seen whether
any provision whatever will be made for the
proposed Constitutional Convention. The
Senate proposes to submit the project to
popular vote at the October election, while
the House insists that it shall be submitted
at an earlier period, and the conflict of these
projects may lead to postponement of the
whole movement; but it is to be hoped that
better counsels will prevail. On the issue
which has the most direct bearing on partisan
interests, the proposed revision of the
Registry law, the Republican House so far
deferred to the wishes of the Democratic
Senate Yesterday as to consent to the appoint
ment of a committee to consider this
protect the ballot-box in this city was illus
trated by the notorious frauds perpetrated by
the Democracy in 1868, and by the fact that
men who were actively engaged in those in
fames are prominent leaders of the Phiadel-
phia Democracy at this time. But the masses
of the Republican party have no desire or
disposition to encourage counter cheating
for the nominal benefit Of the Republican
party, but really designed to aid in the cleo
tion of few of its worst men to lucrative
Offices Any provisions in the existing law
which tend to facilitate such nefarious pur-
pose should, in justice, be modified. Espe-
cial pains should be taken to prevent the
alteration of election returns, or false count
ing, and one of the proposed methods of ac-
complishiDg this end, viz, an amendment
requiring that the returns shall be counted in
the presence of the judges of the county
courts, should unquestionably be adopted. 1t
Is necessary to prevent violence and blood
shed, as well as to ensure an accurate record
Of the ballots cast by the voters of Philadel-
phia. And the Republican party should
scorn any pretended local triumphs which
are based on fraud, perjury, and rascaly
perversion of the popular will.

One of the most sensible new measures pro-
posed during the present session of the Legis-
lature was that offered by Mr.. Robb in the
House yesterday, that Major Jack Cummings,
of Snyder county, should be made Lieuten-
ant Governor of Pennsylvania for life! Jack
is fine specimen of the good old Pennsyl-
vania gentleman, ,-one of the olden time,-
and, Democrat as he is, would be an admira-
BILE occupant of good fat Office to which no
troublesome and annoying duties were at
tached. He can tell good story, continue
for an indefinite period rehearsal of the
politics of the last fifty years, as he under
stands it, to admiring audiences, and his size
and general get-up would render him an ad-
mirable fgure-head. By all means let Jack
be made Lieutenant Governor for life! When
such desirable end is to be attained, it is
folly to bubble over little constitutional diff
ficulties

Chestnut street, under the Continental Hotel, TO my
brother, Albert l. Hembold. This do in consid-
Grafton of his past services during my business
career wherein he has ever done full justice to the
confidence have always placed in him, and make
this as just and merited acknowledgment. His
natural amiability OF temperament, coDjoined with
industrious habits, must win for him the good feel
ing OF all with whom he may be thrown in contact
j feel assured that my Philadelphia friends, who
have always manifested deep interest in my well
fare, will evidence TO my brother the same kindly
appreciation, and cheer him in his endeayors to
perpetuate an establishment that, "without ego
tism, can say is credit to nay native city. IRE
speetive of the constant occupation OF time which
precludes my attention 10 a branch establishment,
the desire TO place my brother in an independent
position was the ruling motive in the opening OF
the "remple OF Pharmacy"
wish it distinctly understood that shall at all
times give my brother my hearty cooperation and
shall supply him from my resources with all that
he may desire TO make the enterprise permanent
success. Your obedient servant
