Cotton Prospects. 4
Reports of the condition of the cotton
crop 10 the Department of Agriculture to
july LIST, indicate IS follows: Owing to
causes reported in June, the crop is gen.
erally from two to four weeks late through
out the cotton States. Weather unprece-
dented!y wet, VARYING from rs to So days,
ending about the 25th of June. The area
of cotton planted is sufficient to tag labor
to the utmost under the most favorable
circumstances, wet weather preventing
work and stimulating the growth OF grass
| and weeds, not only caused poor stands and
grassy and otherwise unfaVorable condition
9uite generally, but has made necessary
the abandonment Ct q large portion OF the
area planted, probably nearly enough to
hiring the acreage down TO what it was last
wear Reports, with rare exceptions, are
| desnopdent aud picture q somewhat
gloomy prospect. Doubtless the majority
fall in with the common tendency 10 exsg-
| perste the bad effects upon crops Of unfa-
Yorable weather prevailing at The presant,
and TO updervalue chances of recuperation
from those effects. Reports show generally

completed the rounds OF the departments
aud has raised a square issue on the ques-
ton whether the President will interfere in
the political quarrel in State, ard regu
late Fedora appointments TO suit its Gov.
ernor. Davis demands that Purnell, United
States Marshal; Gen. Clarke, Postmaster
at Galveston, Col. Whitlesy, Postmaster
at Houston; Col. Plats, Collector Of
Customs at Corpus and Christi, ant
Henry NJ. Taylor, Collector of Internal
Revenue, he removed. With the exception
of the the latter, all named were Union off
GERS, and have excell5nt military records
and have been regarded here IS good ciVi
officers. Mr.. Taylor is held to be one o
the best Off ers in the service, and ;
thoroughly honest and efficient man
Davis hostility to all is based on the fac
that they did not support him cordially il
the State politics. 1t is not believed herr
that he will succeed with the President
since the latter, on enc occasion, Yhei
Davis sent him written protest against th'
appointment of certain person as Fedora
Judge, caused it TO be Endorsed in substanc'
as follows: Gas the Executive does no
propose to interfere with Gov. Davis in TIL
matter of appointing State ofticers, it is no

fere with Executive appointments"
