Sale of the First Bale of New Cotton in
. ST. Louis

DttAC VI thC AAAbL DsAO "a NJ" NOAhNA IL
. ST. Louis.
We copy this from the St. Louis Demo-
crUt.
There is good deal more life and back
bone among our cotton men, it seems, than
we credited them with, and they are not
afraid to do a little fancy bidding when the
occasion seems to demand it. Yesterday
the new Texas bale of cotton received by
Messrs. Afford, Veal & Co. was put up at
auction, according to previous notice. Hon.
Nathan Cole, by request, acted as auc
tiOneer. The bidding was started at fifty
cents per pound, and ran along up lively
ShryOCk & Rowland, MaTmaduke & Brown,
j. {. Carson Il Co., and many others parti-
cipating. Marmaduke g. Brown stuck to
the bidding until 81 per pound was reached
this figure being their last bid. Andy
Mitchell, of J. b. Carson & Co., and presi-
dent of the Cotton Association, bid 81 o.
After hammeriDg on this bid for some little
time, and getting no further response, Mr.
Cole knocked the bale down at that figure
Mr. Mitchell Immediately determined to
make the bid gold, which is equal to about
81 l534 in currency.
We were not aware that the Cotton AssO-
citation had offered $500 for the first bale of
cotton which should come to hand of the
new crop; but if this is true, the present
bale will yield not far short of $1,000 to its
lucky owner. However, it is glory enough
to have shown to the cotton States, by the
above sale, that st. Louis cotton men mean
business" from now on, and are preparing
to go for a cotton trade with much more
vigor than heretofore. Carson & Co. have
done liberal and timely thing in paying
so handsome price for the first new bale
OF cotton, and they will acquire fame
through Texas and the South which will
coin them gold eagle for every gold dollar
it will cost them

At meeting in Shreveport on the eight
zenith instant, for the purpose Of organizing
a Greeley and Brown Club, Mr.. Burnside
moved that Mr.. BOarman address the meet
ing, giving his opinion of the convention to
assemble IN New Orleans in August. The
motion was seconded and carried.
Mr.. BoaTman arose and said he was not
prepared to give his views on that cOnven-
ton at this time, but he had this much to
say, that that convention would meet under
the influence Of the great tide of public
sentiment which was now sweeping over
the land. He said that ne favored the COM
ing convention. A great many persons
might think he felt sore over the fact that
he was stricken from the ticket as nOmi-
mated by the Democratic convention. This
was not the case. Personally, he had no
objection to the action of the Democratic
Executive Committee, but he did think that
it was acting i'll bad faith toward the cit
liens of CaddO parish, because he was the
only candidate on the State ticket from that
parish. He said, in conclusion that he
looked to the August convention as our only
hope of freeing the State from the Odious
bands that are now crushing that life out
of her, and that he sincerely trusted the
August convention would appoint such
men as the mass of the people could unite
upon,

A curious case was up before a London
magistrate lately, involving the right of two
men to eat a dinner at apublic dining saloon
which had been ordered for one Of them
alone. Itappears that Mr.. Perkins accepted
an invitation to dine at the st. James Hall
restaurant, Regent street, with Mr.. Brady,
a justice of the peace for Surrey, his son
and two daughters. Among the orders were
two outlets for Mr.. Perkins, one of which
was eaten by Mr., Brady, Jr For this cut
let which Mr.. Brady eat an additional
charge of ls. cd. was made, on the. ground
that it was one of the regulations of the
restaurant that no customer was to give
away any portion of a dish ordered by him
to any friend that might be dining with
him. If this were done two portions were to
be paid for. Mr.. Brady, Sr., paid the bill for
the party, but declined to pay the Is. Cd. tor
the outlet in dispute. Thereupon one of
the walters seized upon Mr.. Perkins hat
and refused II give It up until the
extOrtiOnate charge was paid. In
retaking his hat scutfie between Mr.. Per
kins and the walters ensued, which resulted
in the formers arrest for assault. There
was also counter charge of assault by the
waiter on Mr.. Perkins. The magistrate or
dered the summons against Mr. Perkins to
be dismissed, and ordered the waiter to pay
sixty shillings fine and forty shillings costs.
He also administered a severe rebuke to
the system adopted by the restaurant in
question of taking the property of guests.
His opinion upon the subject will interest
both restaurant keepers and their custom
ers. i will first tell the keepers of tav-
eIns and restaurants, through you, the
walters" he said, that they have no lien
on the personal property of the guests. 1t
was wrong to take the hat as stated, and
the owner in attempting 10 regain posses
sion was justified in commit ting any npceg-
sary act OF violence to attain bis object"

At last we have the details Of a method
of keeping our houses cool A correspondent
of the Nation says that he intends to pass
small air-pipes several times through a
large box packed full of moss. Water will
drip down through this. A current of air
will be forced, by clock power, through the
pipes and up through the moss. This last
will insure a speedy evaporation of the
water. This will cool the pipes. They will
cool the iuclosed air. This will be conducted
to all the rooms of the house. 1t will be
admitted near the ceiling, and will be
turned on or off, like hot air from fur
mace. The inventor expects to keep the
temperature at from co. to 100 through the
warmest months. By frightening or short
ening the pendulum of the machinery the
supply of cold air can be diminished or in
creased at will

We regret to hear that the cotton cater.
pillar has made its appearance upon nearly
every plantation in this vicinity They are
not yet numerous, but are already webbing
up, and will appear ere long in increased
numbers. 1t may be safely calculated that
the cotton fields will be laid bare by the
first of September: but such has been and
is the good prospect for a crop, such the in.
creased acreage planted and such will be
the maturity of the fields before the ravares
OF the worm shall have reached their worst,
that we anticipate still something near an
average ordinary crop.

This is from the NatchitCches Times /:

The changes made in the State ticket by
the substitution of Colonel D. bennett for
Auditor and Mr.. A. G. Lafargue for Secre-
tary of State, in place of Captain Jumel and
Mr.. BOarman. seems to have the tendency
to weaken it. especially in the country par
ishes. This tinkering with the work of the
convention was considered fine piece Of
stately by the New Orleans Democracy,
and was done simply with the view Of sue
cess in the city. We predict, however, that
for every vote gained in New Orleans, two
will be lost elsewhere.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Parties have al
ready begun making political assessments
on the clerks in the different departments Of
the governments, although the practice is
forbidden by the new CIVIL service rules.
The list was circulated in the Postofice De-
partment to-day. A man, Waterman in
the Interior Department, cried out loudly,
when the list was presented to him for his
signature, that he would kick man out of
theSttice who would give $40 for such puF-
poses when it was strictly prOhiJ ted.
Some Of the clerks propose to write to
George w, Curtis, editor of Harper's

advisory board, complaining of the extOr-
ton attempted to be practiced upon them
by those having the lists in charge.

TO the Editor afthe State Journal ;:
The good work in favor of our regular
nominee for Congress, the Hon. w. Ii. III.
Stowell, goes bravely on. A large and
enthusiastic meeting was held last Saturday
at Dinwiddie Courthouse, at which the
whole question of the Congressional nomi-
nation was fully and ably discussed. Mr..
Porter was on the ground representing his
own cause in an able speech, backed up by
Mr.. A. G. Winston. But they could make
no impression upon the honest masses of
Dinwiddie. ....s... .a.
Able and telling speeches in favor of the
regular nominee were made by Messrs.
Matthews, Fernald, Greene, Evans, Nash,
Cox, and others, which were greeted with
hearty applause. After the meeting at the
courthouse closed, Messrs. Greene, Evans,
and Matthews went over to Ream's Station,
to attend meeting called by Mr.. Perkins.
And here | wish to place the laundering
/" local " of the Progress right. Mr.. Per-
kins did call the meeting in the interest of
Mr.. Stowcll, and the Progress must mean
to represent man as a stupid fool who,
having any knowledge of political matters
here, would for moment believe that
either Messrs. Matthews, Evans, or Greene
are Porter men," Neither of these gentle
men denounced Mr.. Perkins in any
manner, for they understood too well the
courtesies of life to speak of a friend who
was not present, in anything but kind
terms. The people were told that Mr.. P.
was an honest, well-meaning gentleman,
but if he had gone over to boiling candi-
date, they were advised not to follow him.
The meeting unanimously agreed to sup
port Mr.. Stowell as the regular nominee.
You may count on old Dmwiddie as solid
for the regular Republican candidates
Messrs. Grant and Wilson and Stowell.
You have already informed your readers
of the meeting on Saturday in Greensvlle.
| learn from private sources that it was
very successful affair, and that the entire
county will give good account of herself
on the day of election. Greensville will
support no boilers. Tass ~.
In Petersburg an Industrious crowd of
sore heads" are travelling around the

create a prejudice against the old, tried, and
true Republicans of this city--the men who
have stood by the party in its dark hours.
But they are making no impression. Even
the men who drink their liquor, don't drink

of the party, and are supporting the regular
