IT is evident that bit of Civil Service Reform
is needed in the Executive Office in Utah The
Territorial Governor, who Is one Of President
Grants appontees, and is Manager Of Mining
Bureau. Eliminates proclamation against all 9TH
mining agencies. and calls attention to the fact
that he, .as "GOvernor of Utah." will certify to
reports concerning the value of mining stocks in
Utah, and will have such reports signed and seal
ed with the official signatures Of the Governor and
Secretary and the seal of the Territory. This is
a new use for Government officials, and in a nor
NAL condition Of the country would lead to the
stant dismissal of the stock k-jobbing Governor
But he trusts to the demoralized condition OF the
Civil Service, and will hold his place, to the great
scandal OF everybody.

When Andrew Johnson asked Mr..
Greeley what policy to adopt-it
was before that functionary had Ia
ken out a patent for one Of his
own. and before he made his
famous swing round the eircle-Mr.
Greeley advised him to select three
eminent representative men from
each Of the great sections of the
country, North and South, and con
fer with them upon all the great
questions then ut Issue. He sug-
gested Gov. Andrew, Gerrit Smith,
and Judge Spalding for the North,
and Gen. Lee and Judge Campbell
for the South. The idea of having
Gen. Lee at the White House on q
committee OF consultation was 8 lit
tie too much for Mr. johnson, and
he treated the scheme as utterly i'm
practicable and wild. Had this al
vice been acted upon the nation
would have been saved millions OF
dollars, and spared the disgrace OF
carpet baggcry. And yet there are
Republicans who cannot understand
why the South has confidence in
Mr. Greeley! He was the first man
who understood and demanded Jus.
tice for the Southern people.

The Cotton Crnn.

The following IS synopsis OF the
report of the statistical bureau of the
Department of Agriculture upon the
condition Of the cotton crop in Oe-
tober: The cotton prospect has un-
dergone no serious changes since
the September report. The condi-
ton is reduced from 81 in the first
week Of September to 50 in October.
In October of last year the average
was 76, which was a material reduc
ton from that Of the previous
month. It will be seen that the
c addition is still placed higher than
in last years report for October,
while the area, according, to. our
june returns, was thirteen per cent
greater.
The State averages are as follows:
Virginia, 81; North Carolina, 80;
south Carolina, Sc; Florida, rs;
Georgia, IS; Alabama, 50; 8fississip-
pi, rs, Louisiana, -, Texas, So:
Arkansas, 70; Tennessee, so. The
local disparity existing in the con
dition of cotton is perhaps . little
more marked than usual. OF the
TWO counties in Alabama producing
most largely, both together yielding
one-ninth the cotton in the State,
Montgomery reports one hundred
and Dallas fifty. In Georgia, Daw-
son the firstin amount OF production,
returns one hundred; while Sumpter
and Lee. both large producers, give
only sixty-six. In Mississippi a
few prominent counties report high
condition; Washington, G6; Madi-
son, sc; Warren, Go; and Kinds, go;
while Noxubee and Claiborne re
turn 100.
