Cotton Crop Prospects of the South.

From the New Orleans Price CURRENT
We have but little to add to the remarks
in our last issue on the cotton crop pros
pect. The weather has been clear and
warm, with daily showers, and from every
direction we receive favorable crop ac-
counts. In fact, the entire aspect of the
cOttOn-growing region is cheering. The
second planting, nevertheless, is undoubt-
eddy behind hand, and coming forward at
least week later than last year, it will be
more exposed to worms and grass. On the
other hand, the first planting is luxuriant
and promising, with many fields in bloom
and b0lls making, and the indications are
that there will be al increase in the pro-
duct from hands having been transferred
to rich lands from poor, and from some
increase IN white although little or none
in negro labor. There will also be an av-
erage increase i'll acreage of not less than
III per cent,

ment as outlined by the great reformer
himself-the editor of the Tribune. For
example, suppose Horatio Seymour, OF
New York, after closing q peroration on
Greeley as statesman and patriot, should
be answered in the words Greeley has fire.
quently applied to Seymour, "Hdr, LIAR,
LIAR" Suppose Doolittle's speeches for
reform should be answered by what Mr..
Greeley said of him March 3, 1869: ABLE,
"adroit and early schooled in the arts of
" the self-seeking politician, he has for
"years done his best against the party
" that has so honOred him."
Suppose again that when Horace White
in his Chicago Tribune advocates Greeley's
claims for President, he should be answer
ed by Horace Whites opinion of the same
Greeley in 1866: Horace Greeley is not
land never has been man who ought to
"be trusted with an official position requir-
ling practical wisdom, ordinary states
" manship, or firm, consistent action. For
" twenty-five years he has been a marplot
" in council, an unreliable commander in
" action, a misanthrope in victory, and a
riOtOus disOrganizer in defeat"
Would it not be amusing to have enthu-
siastic Greeley reformers confronted with
such pen sketches of themselves, and their
shief form hand whose skill they dare
not question?

PEN SKETCHES OF REFORMERs.

The canvass soon to begin in earnest all
over the country will have its amusing as
well as serious features. The proposition
to hand over the Government of these
United States to the man who shared the
hazards of tabacco business with the
Tammany thief-Tweed-and swindleCl the
poor depositors of the New York Savings
Bank by allowing the use of his name to
such associates as Hank Smith, is a proposi-
ton SO startling as toawaken serious concern
on the part of honest tax payers. To mt
the immense patronage of this government
into the hands Of the man whose political
managers are the John Coclrans, Reuben
Fentons, Frank Blairs and Grosvenors of
the reform (?) canvass, is a movement so
fatally subversive of all plans for an hon
est Government as to make the coming
canvass serious one to every good. pa
triotic citizen. These are the serious fea-
lures of the struggle.
The amusing part of the campaign will
consist in producing pen sketches of the
principal leaders of the reform I?) move

A FEW weeks ago we felt happy. We
love innocent amusement, and thought we
were going to have it. The people all over
the State were anticipating a rare time.
Who could contemplate the event of con-
test between Andy Johnson and Henry S.
Foote without associating with it the idea
Of first class fun. Jim Robinson or Mike
Lipman would have been nowhere. But
without any regard for the universal wish
Of the people, Foote has abruptly retired
from the race, and we have no assurance
that Andy will certainly run. If the con-
vention could act with perfect freedom. we
have no idea that he would stand a ghost
of a chance, but they can not. They are
afraid to ignore him. They dread his eff
forts on the stump. They dread to see a
merciless exposure of their "dirty linen
at the hands of Andy Johnson. They
may take him, but Foote is gone, and with
him our hopes of amusement.

Campaign Notes.


The Chicago Inter Ocean gives a list Of
the fifty-five delegates from Chicago to the
Liberal State Convention of Illinois. 1t
Classics them as follows Eighteen de-
feated candidates for office, nine ex-office-
holders and six office holders" OF course
they are all refOrmers?
The New York World says: 1.-THE whole
system of National Conventions is fraud.
Under the false pretencei of representing
the people they represent only the ambi-
ton and wishes of politicians by trade"
1t concludes by saying that the Baltimore
Convention TO nominate Greeley will be a
farce.
Senator Thurman delivered the annual
address to the students of the University
of Virginia. He inveighed against the
political school books of the age, and con-
cluded by advising the students to have
their own literature, their own press and
their own institutions of learning and do
their own thinking.
The Democrats, faithful to the old prin-
ciples of the party are issuing secret circu-
lars for boiling convention in case Gree
ley carries off the Baltimore Convention
of office seekers.
Nearly all the religious press of the
country is opposed to Greeley. The Chris
tidn UUiOn, the Independent, the Meth
OdiSt, the Observer, and the Cath
Journal and the Catholic Telegraph
all oppose Greeley because Of his peculiar
religious views.
Isham G. Harris supports Greeley but
he doesn't love him. Some one suggested
that Greeley would look better if he would
shave his chin. "Oh, yes" replied Har-
ris, "but it would suit me a great deal bet
ter if he would shave everything off close
to his shoulders.

THE overwhelming absurdity of Greeley
as a Democratic candidate for President
seems to have been more apparent to Gree
ley himself last fall than it is now. He re-
allied the inconsistency of the position
better then than his acknowledgements
do now. In speech in Trumbull county,
Ohio, last fall he said: IF the Demo-
cratic party were called upon to decide
" between Grant and myself, know that
" their regard for 1ghat they must call pri,,-
cipIe would induce nine-tentbS Of them to
" cote against me- Why? I am decided
" enemy of that party, even in its most
respectable aspects"

their own sympathies and views in refer

they frequently express. We have no

THE mendacity and cheek of the re-
form 81 press is fifty illustrated in the
boast of the Greeley organ of this city,
that Tennessee was good for Greeley by
one hundred thousand and that Koerner
would carry Illinois by fifty thousand.
On their part, this is evidently to be a
campaign of Drag. But our readers may
sec how much credit is due the boast about
Illinois, when, in the same paragraph,
Tennessee is claimed by hundred thou
sand. Such buster and brag are needed
to bolster up a shameless coalition devoid
Of all principle and made solely for office
and plumber.

TYSDALL ON RADIATION.

Fifth Scientific Lecture Of the Professor
at Cooper Institute-Interesting Experf-
ments With the Thcrmo-Electrfc Pipe.
The fifth Of Professor Tyndal's lectures on scien-
tnc subjects was given last evening before large
and appreciatve audience at Cooper Institute. The
lecture in this, the last OF Q very instructive
series was devoted to the region OF radiant action
beyond the visible red OF the spectrum, which was
illustrated by numerous beautiful and interesting
experiments. The position and the magnitude ofthis
ultra-red radiation was pointed out. Experiments
on the heating power Of the total radiation from
the electric lamp were described and executed,
showing by the concentration Of such rays
and combustible bodies set ablaze. The
which produces these effects was sought after and
means, by the thermo- electric pipe, was described
OF nltering these invisible waves from the total
radiation and operating upon them alone. They
were proved competent when concentrated,
to heat metals to whitencss. Their action
on nature was then illustrated, and the
luminous rays OF the sun were proved
therefore they do not produce the vapor necessary
for rain, nor do they melt SHOWS and the glaciers
which give rise to the Rhine and Rhone and
onn other rn ryers; Tne physical Identity Of light
lightless waves were proved capable Of re.
necton, refracton, polarization, depolari-
zatlon, circular polarization and double
refraction. The lecturer threw great deal Of in
study to understand, and by the lucid manner In
which he treated 1t made his experiments compre-
henslble to the mediocre mind. Among the audi.
encc were goodly sprinkling OF our most celc-
brated scientific men, and frequent rounds OF ap-
panse greeted the success Of the most dfncult ex-
,erimepts.
