Horace Greeley received the nom

The counties Of Leon, jefferson, Mad

Cotton Crop Prospects.

The September report of the statis-
tician Of the Department. of Agricul-
ture indicates decline in the cotton
crop prospects during the present
month in consequence of the presence
OF the cotton~caterpi1lar in portions OF
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana, and of drought OF
moderate severity in Texas, Arkan-
sas and Tennessee.
The condition of the crop as shown
by the average of returns received is
as follows; Virginia 81, North Caro-
lima 1O1, South Carolina 95, Georgia
SO. Florida 90, Alabama 90, iIissis-
sippi 90, Louisiana So, Texas "a, Ar
-kansa 70, Tennessee 81. Thus the
prospect throughout the entire cotton
area, which favored a yield five per
cent. larger than the average product,
promises at the present time about
ten per cent. less than an average.
The increase of acreage over last year,
and the unfavorable character of the
season of 1871, still point to mate
rial increase in the total crop Of 1879,
while the possible extension of insect
ravages, or the early occurrence of
frost, may modify the present expec-
.tations.
Virginia.-The only counties report
ing cotton in Virginia are Northamp-
ton, Southampton, King and Queen,
Chesterfield, Greenville and Patrick,
and in these the average condition
has declined from 1OI to 81 in Septem-
Der.

ty eight counties in North Carolina

Platform and Resolutions
ADOPTED By THE
Liberal State Convention
August 10th. 1879.

/ We, the Liberal party of the State of Loui-
siana, in Convention assembled, do hereby
proclaim and adopt the following as our plat
! foln of principles, essential to the rttle1np-
ton of our beloved State from the evils Of

matt Convention Of Liberal Republicans as
ratified and endorsed by the National
Democratic Convention as eminently judi
clous and representing the sy1npathies and
needs OF our State and country, and we
recognize in the National standard bearers
OF the great peoples party, Horace Greeley
and Benz. Gratz Brown, men of sterling
worth, capable of restoring the Government
to the simplicity and purity of its earlier
years, when Washington, Adams and .Jeffer-
son were guardians OF our liberties, We
therefore pledge them our undivided and
| earnest support.
2. We recognize the political and civil
rights of all men, and pledge ourselves to

salutary reforms as are now or may be de-
manded by thepeople.

eally, and to that end we pledge ourselves to
tic iooutiou VI uSeless ounces TIE reduction

redemption of the legal obligations OF the
State, and the reduction Of taxation as speed
ily as possible.
4. We demand that laws shall be enacted
for the punishment of bribery, and that the
powers of the Executive be diminished. be-
ing inconsistent with republican institutions,
and subversive of the wishes Of the people.

perative necessity and a guardian Of our lib
critics, we pledge ourselves to maintain i
generous and benifcent free school system
which shall DO extended to every portion of
the Stats aud embrace in it's privileges the

A rumpus occurred in the "Chi-
nese quarter" of towr last Saturday,
between two belligerent sons of the
Celestial Kingdom, which resulted in
one seriously cutting the other in the
arm and left side with a murderous
looking knife. For a time all the
Cinnamon in the country seemed
gathered about the scene Of the fight,
and their excited jabbering of ontland-
isl. lingo was deafening to hear. The
heather who did the stabbing was
nabbed by constable and marched
off to Jail, while the. victim of his
wrath received medical attendance.

The DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE OF
THE 9TH INSTANT. Our failure to give
an account in last issue of the second
performance of the D. S. c. B. Thea
trical Association at the new hall Sat-
urday evening, October 5th, was en-
tirely unintentional, and resulted from
the continual occupation Of our
thoughts by other pressing matters,
both OF an editorial and private bust
ness nature. Though not so well at
tended as the first performance, still
the second attempt of the Theatrical
Association was witnessed by goodly
number of people, who were as before
highly edited with the entertainment.
The French drama called j" On Loup
De Mer" was fanltlessly rendered, and
held the almost breathless atten-
ton of the audience throughout. The
acting Of Mr.. ]. j. Claverie, in the
leading character, was frequently APP
plauded, while the ladies and gentle
men sustaining him acquitted them
selves excellently. The English COM
edy of "The Spectre Bridegroom; or,
A Ghost in Spite of Himself"-in
which Messrs. Sims, Cheeycrs, Marks
and klopman, and Mrs. Marx Israel
played leading parts-was received
with much merriment and applause,
but did not go off so smoothly as the
French piece, because of the short
time devoted by some of the actors to
study of their parts. A closing must
cal farce by the brothers j. j. and DIR.
B. Clayerie was hailed with wild de-
light and vociferous laughter, and
was unquestionably the success of the
evening.
We learn that the company con-
template giving another entertain
ment shortly, and if this be true, due
notice will doubtless be given to the
public.
