some of the speakers advertis-

to speak at Benton instead, as
that point is our great. centre

a grand barbecue for the occa-

The speaking at Bellevue

Cotton.

The receipts of cotton at
Shreveport for the Year ending
August 31st, 1872, were 91so
sd bale, against 1O4,776.
bales from the same time last
year, showing falling off rs,
$50 bales, or twelve per cent,
The shipment for the same
time were $3.50 bales, includ-
ing old stocks of 1858 bales ON
hand at.the first of last Sep
temher.
The first steam cotton press
went into operation on the
9th of January, 1872, and up
to the close of the business
compressed 1885 bales ofcot-
ton. There were several firms
buying for Eastern manufacto-
ries, and they purchased in the
aggregate 1915 bales, 5045
of which were not compressed.
Another cotton press is about
ready for business. With the
two in full operation, the mer-
chants of shreveport expect to
be able to compress at least
10000 bales the coming seas
on.
The receipts were by the
following transportation: 49,
356 bales came by rail, 5000
by steamers and the balance
by wagon. 4
Owing to the dissatisfaction
manifested by some in regard
to the running statement of
cotton received and shipped,
the statement, from which
this is extracted, was compiled
from a thorough examinations
of the warehouse books and
bill of lading books, which
produced the following re-
suits: total receipts, 81 SOL
bales; total shipped, $3.50.
i In regard to the. receipts of
cotton at Shreveport the pres
ent season, exports vary in
their estimates materially, run
ming all along up the scale
from 10000 to 90,O00 bales.
The crop in Casters Texas
has been seriously damaged by
the drought, and as, regards
the parish of Cdddo, one. bale
to eight acres ia probably a
fair estimate.

at the meeting, but sent his
greetings to Wilson. The dy-

Here is an interesting piece
of evidence on the question
whether horses have the power
of reasoning. An intelligent
animal of this species at James,
vile, Wis, hobbled to a black
smith shop on three feet the
other day and presented his
disabled hoofto the proprietor
with an appealing look. The
blacksmith extracted there
from a rusty nail, and the
horse departed perfectly salts
fed. We wish every man had
as much reason as a first class
horse.

THE TEXAS CoTToN CROP.
Galveston News pub
fishes dispatches from eigh--
teen of the most prominent
points in that State with refer
ence to the cotton crop pros
pect, all of which are gloomy
in the extreme. The News
says, editorially, that these adj
vices compel a reduction of az
least % per cent. on previous
estimates of the receipts at
that point this season. 1t says
"the drought which has affect
ed the entire cotton belt of
this State, has damaged the
crop irreparably to the extent
of at least one-foRrth of the
whole, and fully one-halt in
the most afflicted sections
The most conservative among
the best informed merchants
now admit that, where 100000
bales was a moderate estimate
a month ago, 275,000 bales is
an extreme figure to venture
as the receipts at this port for
1S72-73."

''SHOOT HIM ON THE SPOT."-
If any man says that Gen.
Grant did not suppress the Re.

If any man says that Presi-
dent Grant ought to remain at
Washington and attend to the
duties of his office, instead of
enjoying the society of Faro
Dealers, Horse Jockeys and
women of easy virtue, at Long
Branch, "shoot him on the spot"
If any man says that Horace

old copperhead during the war,
and that he did not attempt to
burn the Capital, and surrender
our armies into the hands of
the king of Dahomey "shoot

If any man says that Gen.

But if any Democrat says
that he will not support Gree
