VIRGINIA VS.. MARYLAND AND WEST NIR-
GINIA-Another futile attempt was made last
week by the Commissioners of Maryland and
Virginia, headed respectively by Mr.. Isaac D.
Jones and Gen Henry A. Wise, to come to an
agreement upon the vcxcd question of the cor
rect divisional line between the States. The
first DAY was spent in the examination OF maps
and documen's-t second in submitting pro-
positions of boundary by way of compromise,
all of which were resp, ctuly rejected as soon
as offered.
There seemed to be no insupetable difficulty
uutl the valuable oyster beds Of Tangicr Sound
and around Smith Island were reached. Here
the skirmshing began, each set of Commits
soners announcing the unalterable purpose to
fight it out on that line, which embraced
the coveted bivalvulur territory, If it took all
winter.
Unable to agree, the Commissioners adjourn
ed sine die, to make their final reports to the
Legislatures OF their respective States.
With respect to this Maryland and Virginia
boundary question, and that OF her unsettled
question, Uhc proportionale public indebted
ness of Virginia and West Virginia. it seems
to have been demonstrated by tedious and cost.
ly experiment that they can never be settled
by the States inter Sc If Virginia has rights
in the premises, let them be adjudlcated by

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1873.

Among the reforms suggested by the Presl-
dent in his message is a constitutional amend
ment authorizing "the Executive to approve
of so much of ANY measure passing the TWO
houses of Congress as his judgment may die
tate, without approving the whole, the dlsap-
proved portion or portions to be subjected to
the same rules as now, to wit: to be referred
back to the house in which the measure, or
measures, originated, and if passed by two
thirds vote of the two houses, then to become
a law without the approval of the President
Il would add to this, '" says the President, "a
provision that there should be no legislation by
Congress during the last twcnty-iour hours OF
its sitting except upon vetoes, IN order to give
the Executive an opportunity to examine and
approve or disapprovc bills understandiogly.

retributive justice on the Spaniards in
The Fact Of steamer called the Santi-
ago de Cuba having successfully effect
ed the landing of filibustering expe-
dition, not far fiom the scene of the

that in the interior, among the noun

soldiers were caught in a Cuban am
buscade and 200 of them killed To
the credit of the insurgents, they paid
some attention 60 the enemy's wound

CoTToN CUATUREIN KANSAS.

The growing interest evinced in the
cultivation of this important staple,
wherever the soiland climate is adapted
to its production, is exempliied in the
following extracts from the Parsons
(Kdn.) Sun, of the 9th inst:
Southern Kansas seems fair to enter
upon new field Of industry and profit.
Corn has been found failure, not in
the yield or uncertainty of the crop,
but from the excess of production.
These experiments have been mainly
confined to the counties of Neosho,
Labette, Cherokee, Crawford, Mont
gomery, Wilson and Howard counties,
and the results have been very crafty
ing. The past season has not been a
very favorable one for cotton growing.
1t has been an extraordinary short sea-
son. The spring was late, cold, back
ward and wet. The fall came in cold.
The frosts were about three weeks ear
lier than usual October was cold
month. November has been warm and
pleasant, but we have had good deal
of November and December weather in
October. All this has been unfavOra-
bic to the growth of cotton. And yet
the fact has been fully demonstrated
that cotton can he grown here with
profit.
Next season will see a largely in
creased surface planted to cotton.
There was great difficulty in getting
seed last year. Next spring there will
be an abundance of seed from the cot
ton now being gihned in this city.
We can scarcely approximate the
product grown this season. We know
that large amounts were grown in
Montgomery, Wilson and Howard
counties. In Labette county VIE can
name the following parties: Ev6rhart
& MatthewsOn, 20 acres; VIM. Dick, L
acres; Garrett Reasoner, 10 acres;' Jas
Jewell, II acres; Mr.. Davis, TO acres.
Mr. Pierce. the Usage Mission banker,
informs us that a man on the Neosho
has grown 80 acres. In the vicinity of
Chetopa a large amount has been
grown.
Messrs. Everhart, leading merchan
of Parsons, and Matthewson, cashier
First National Bank, desirous of en-
couraging the growth of cotton in
Southern Kansas, have purchased, and
now have in full operation, first-class
cotton gin. 1t has been running for
about ten days. The gin is complete
in every particular and works with all
the completeness of perfect machinery.
Cotton is coming in quite freely to be
ginned. On Monday six loads were re-
ceived; Tuesday five loads.
Cotton is cash, and cash is king in
this market A St. Louis gentleman
was here during the week, anxious to
advance $50 on every bale. Mr.. Ever
hart has already shipped several bales
to his correspondent in st. Louis. 1t
is now worth SIS per bale. Mr.. E.
hopes to ship 100 bales this season
the product Of Southern Kansas
growth. Next year there ought to he
ginned and shipped from Parsons at
least 5000 bales-S375, 600.
