Cotton Crop Prospects of the South.

We have but little to add to the re-
marks in our last issue Oh tho crop pros,

aspect pe Of the cotton growing region gie'a,I is
cheering. The second planting, never

and coming forward ut least Il week later
than last year, it will be more EXPOSED
to worms and grass. On the other hand
the first planting is luxuriant and pro,

there will be an increase in the product

Tho New York Hraid, when Bennett
first started it, was not much larger
than a sheet Of latter-paper, but it gave
much light, minute and cheerful news.
It was full Of short paragraphs, printed
in small type, and was an eminently
salable article. 1t sold well from the
first day, but still Bennett had at first
terrible time. The extreme chcapncss
of the paper rendered him absolutely
dependent upon its advertisers, and yet
| he dared not charge them more than
fifty cents for square of sixteen lines
So he had to cut down the expenses to
minimum. He did everything himself,
He swept out his cellar, he carried the
paper to the few subscribers it possessed
| in the morning, he wrote the editorials,
the news, the criticisms. lie did the
reporting and the book-kccping-aIl, III
fact that was done. He sat behind his
barrels and his plank, placidly writing,
and when any one came for paper, he
: never looked up, but Just said, put
the money ON the counter and take one.
His working day was sixteen hours. III
the morning, from five to eight, he
wrote editorials in his bedroom, During
p the business hours he was III the cellar,
engaged in the ordinary routine OF cdl'
torial work. About o'clock, having
provided abundant copy for the com
I positors, he sailed forth into Wal
e street to compile stock,tablcs, and tt
y get matter for spicy paragraphs. From
T. four to six he was in his office again
g winding up tho business of the day. Ii

The Electoral Vote Of 1877.

Most of the tables which have been
published in the papers IN regard TO tlc
presidential electoral vote arc erroneous
from the fact that Congress, few days

t;ons nine States each an addltiohaI
representative in Congress, thus lncrcaS'

When these INSTRUCTIONS occurred
both labor and supplies were required
to be transported over long distances
by. longcontitrucd working, extra hours,
and during intense cold. The. men in
some eases. became disheartcned and re.
fused to work, and in numerous cases they
had frozen limbs and were disabled. Until
the weather shall change and these storms
cease, 1t is otlr expectation to run trains over
the road, a snow-train ahead, and also with
a train OF provisions and coal sufficient for
thirty days supply. BY this means we ex-
pect to get trains through in from ten to fE-
teen days.
There has been no suffering for want of
provisions, nor will there be any by passcn-
gers. The road is now open from Omaha to
Laramie, 572 mics, and from Washaki to
Ogden, 22S miles. Tho distractions are be-
tween Laramie and Washaki, embracing
the divide Of the continent, and being
only 179 miles. There are now seven
wcst-bound passenger trains detained near
Separation, which is 90 miles distant from
the western boundary Of the blockade, and
there are two castbound passenger trains at
Green river, waiting until the west-bound
trains shall pass the blockade. At various
points alor: the road there are about 500
west-hound cars Of freight, and 200 cars of
eat-bsuhd freight.

THE NORTHWEST Chicago, February Ia
\ special dispatch from Sioux City says a
fearful storm ragged in that section on Mon

warm and pleasant until 2 o'clock 2. ~,
when the storm set in with great fury. The
mercury dropped 80 degrees in two hours
and the wind blew hurricane, accompanied
by binding snow-storm. 1t is feared that
the suffering id tlie country has been fearful.
Samuel Ellison, living eleven miles out Of the
city, left here for his home at o'clock =. N ,
with team, and bis body was found this
morning five miles out--he had frozen to
death. Other deaths from the storm are re.
ported, but no particulars are known. Trains
on this division Of the Illinois Csatsal rail-
road are all showed in. The weather l. in.
tensely cold, the thermometer this nernins
indicating IS degrees below zero. Owing to
the proStration of the telegraph lines by the
storm, nothing further has been heard in re-
lation to the reported freezing Of Spotted
Tail and his baEd, but the report is gene
rally credited here.
