Colonel J. s. Mosby, of Virginia,

Colonel J. s. Mosby, of Virginia,
who made himself famous during the
rebellion by his daring and successful
raids on the Federals' trains and out
posts in his native State, and who
would have been shot as a guerilla had
he been captured, recently visited
President Grant, at the White House,
and since then the Radical press have
claimed him as a Grant man and pro
nounced him a very proper person.
The Alexandria Gazette says, in this
behalf:
"We have seen a letter from Colonel
J. s. Mo>by to a friend in this city. in
which reference is made to a reported
conversation between Colonel MOSby
and President Grant. Referring to
report, Colonel Nj. SAYS: II see l
am reported as sayingto General Grant
that l would support him. ''even If a
Democrat were nominated against
him." / do not care about coming
out in the papers to correct this. but l
hope that my friends will not think
that 1 said any such thing. On the
contrary, l expressly told General
Grant that l would support the Dem
nominee, but, as between him
and Greelev, I was in favor of the

Cotton.


WAsHINToN. August 25.-The latest
Cotton statistical report shows that the
expectation of cotton from the United
States to Great Britain amounted to
$685. ,O45 hundred weight in 1870, to
1929. go hundred weight in 1871, being
an increase in the latter year OF 2S1o,.
sos hundred weight. This advance has
very nearly placed the United States in
the position occupied in 1860, when this
country sent 1868 3l9 hundred weight
OF cotton to Great Britain. BY the large
expectation Of 1870 and 1871, amount
ing to l5,660,955 hundred weight,
the United States has entirely dis
tanced British India, which during
these two years sent {, 6,9S00S6 hundred
weight to Great Britain. The supplies
from countries which during the rebel
lion sent cotton to Great Britain have
almost entirely failed. Thus Turkey,
which in 1861 sent only 600 hundred
weight, had in 1865 increased the guam
tity to 225 900 hundred weight, while
in 1867 the explorations OF cotton from
that country only reached $4,000 hun
dred weight.

Death or Rev. DR.. Thomas Z. Bond.

Death or Rev. DR.. Thomas L. Bond.
Rev. DR.. Thomas E. Bond, so well
known in this community for bis genial
manners and his answering adherence
to principles which he held to be cor
rect, and as one OF the ablest editorial
writers in the Methodist Episcopal
Church, died al his farm in Hartford
county, on Sunday afternoon, in the
6fty-ninth year OF his age. DR.. Bond
was reared tn the profession Of
medicine, but in early life entered
upon the local ministry of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, of which
he remained q member until the late
national difficulties, when he enlisted
with those who Joined the Methodist
Church South, and was its warm sup
porter up to the time OF his death. DR..
Bond possessed a strong and highly
cultivated mind, was gifted with rare
humor and fine, yet not ungenerous,
talent for sarcasm, and wrote with re-
markable facility. After the close Of the
war he was one of the originators
of the Episcopal Methodist, the organ
of the Southern Church, but subse-
auently severed his connection with
that paper, and established another
paper in the same interest. After pub
fishing that for a short time he joined
it with the St. Louis Southern advocate,
which was published simultaneously
in Baltimore and St. Louis, and Of
which he was associate editor. For
some time before his death DR..
Bond suffered from cancer in the
stomach, which was the cause of his
death. He was an earnest and devoted
friend, and in all the relations Of life
was highly esteemed for his integrity
and unwavering adherence to the cause
and principles he believed to be right.
A good man has fallen, and the church
of which he was devoted member lost
one Of its brightest ornaments.-Bdth'

CHARLES O'CoSSoR, whom the Blan.

CHARLES O'CoNNoR, whom the Blsn-
ton Duncanites intend to nominate for
President, is an austere, proud man, Of
great ability, who has not the least
feeling Of sympathy with the people.
He has never had any appreciative iu-
huence upon party organizations. In
lS4l he ran for State Senator, upon a
ticket made out at Carroll Hall, against
the Democratic organization upon
the school question. Although he
had the assistance OF Bishop Hughes,
he obtained but 1000 votes out OF the
10000 which the city cast. In lS4S he
was q candidate for Lieutenant Gov
,ernor upon the Gsss and Butler ticket.
These, we believe, are the only occa.
sious upon which he has appeared
before the people. Any votes he
might receive would be thrown by a
few discoutented men who otherwise
would vote for Grant.

The Postal Cards.

WASHINGTON, August 24.-Attorney
General Williams to-day decided that
Congress having made no specific ap-
preparation to enable the Postmaster
General to contract Tor and issue postal
cards in compliance with the act OF
June 8, 1872, the Postma astsr General
has no power or authority to use other
appropriations for that purpose, and
cannot enter into a contract for postal
cards relying upon future approPrla-
tions. The law OF June s requires the
Postmaster General to furnish and issue
to the public, with postage stamps i'm
pressed thereon, postal cards, manufac
tured Of good, stiff paper and OF such
quality, form aud size as he shall deem
best adapted to general use. A subse-
quent act Of Congress, however, pro
vided that it shall be lawful for any De
partment of the Government TO expend
in any one fiscal year any sum IN excess
of the appropriations made by Congress
for that fiscal year or to involve the
government iu any contract for the
future payment Of money IN excess oil
such appropriations. The appropris-
tions for the Postoffice Department fol
the present fiscal year are all tor
specific purposes, and under the above
quoted law the Attorney General says
| am Of the opinion that you have no
power TO enter into contract for the
future payment OF money TO persons Tor
furnishing the postal cards as described
in the act OF June s, 1872. The Post'
master General announces that this
dicision will prevent the issue OF posts
cards until after Congress meets II
December and makes the necessary ap-
preparation to enable him to enter into
contract for supply OF cards as con
templated by the act Of Congress.

RECAPITULATION.

We summarize the above, and the re-
turns previously received, in the fol-
lowing form. Some ofthe figures are
reliable and others are mere guesses.
Taking the table as it stands, Governor
JACOB has 1878 majority and the Con-
stitution l646 in the Thirty one counties
heard from. In number of instances
it will be observed that the majority
for Governor only is given. lfin these,
the vote for rejection were equal to that
cast for JACOB. a majority Of l454 in
favor of rejection would be shown. 1t
is not likely that this is in every in
stance the case, but there is still much
uncertainty as to what the final and
official returns will show with regard to
