The LAST COTTON CRoP.-According to the
Commercial and Financial Chronicle, which is
an authority in the cotton trade, the cotton crop
for the year ending September 1 was 4,1S5, $50
bales receipts at the ports, g. s19 436 bales ex-
ports, 2, $40, ,S91 bales. The domestic consump-
ton Is about 900 900 bales. This crop is good
one, and above what the southern journals and
planters have been willing to admit. But the
Chronicles advices are obtained from special
sources at the south and are reliable. There is
DO apparent tendency TO increase the crop. but
rather to init Ii, 80 as to obtain better prices,
forgetting that there are now other great cotton
producing countries, and that Limitation of our
crop only stimulates the increase OF theirs. 1t
may be safely assumed that under any fair con-
ditions the south may be relied upon for q crop
of at least 900 900 bales. There could be no
better proof that the freedmen do work as in
dustriously as ever than is afforded by this cot
ton crop, and with such crop every year the
south certainly ought TO recuperate in her mate
rial wealth and resources and TO accumulate
capital, unless indeed the planters are more
wasteful and extrsvagant in their management
than they are generally supposed to be.-Pblla.

IHE INIYERsALIsT CONVENTION has con-
uDued its sittings at DIR. Chapin's church, in
New York, without novelty. Among the ad-
dresses delivered was that OF clerical lady, the
Rev. Olympia Brown, who has charge of
church in Bridgeport, Conn. Like those OF the
Rev. Phoebe A. Hsnsford, who was installed
wednesday evening as pastor of the First Uni
Sersalist church of Jersey City, her sermons are
neither original in thought nor remarkable for
elequence. They are on par, however, in
preaching with the average Of male clergymen.
The relations of Cniyersalism to Christianity
were powerfully discussed by the Rev. K. H.
Capen, who repudiated the idea that the doc
triDe OF universal salvation is contradictory to
the Bible, and opposed the teachings OF Prot
Tyndall. Yesterday a resolution was adopted
TO admit women as members of the board of
trustees and delegates TO the convention. Hon
Henry Wilson, Vice President OF the United
States, addressed the convention. A resolution
was adopted requesting the board of trustees to
secure the necessary funds to erect an sditce AZ
Washington. ID. G., on the grounds given by
the Murray UniVersalist Society of that city.

the United States as shall be Judged necessary
TO suppress the insurrectou in the ST ate against
the government thereof, having first observed
all the prerequisites Of law.
Now, ii any such application was made by
William Pitt Kellogg, he was not governor OF
the state house and retiredt 70 the custom house,
where he is now and has been continuously
since Monday, and at O'Clock on Tuesday the
state house was in possession OF the present ex-
IstiDg government.
In order that there should be instruction in
the state against the government thereof, there
must be government against which opposition
and insurTection exist, which is not true now,
and has not been true in Louisiana st any time
since O'Clock Tuesday, September Is, lS1t.
But when all other conditions exist, before the
President can employ any part of the land or
naval forces, he must by proclamation command
the insurgents to disperse and to return peace
ably TO their respective abodes within a limited
time. A proclamation has been issued, and the
time has been limited to five days.
Now, we protest that this proclamation does
not apply to us as the people of Louisiana; but
even is a case where the necessary conditions
exist an iDsurrection in the state against the
government thereof, and on proper apple alton
10 the President he cannot employ any part of
the land or naval force until the expiration of
the time limited by him in his proclamation.
we distinctly announce TO you that in any move
ments you may make to suppress our govern
ment there shall in no case be interposed any
armed or forcible resistance on our part TO the
military forces of the United States under your
command. We will occupy the State house and
other state property in this city until the appear
ance and occupation of the same by the author
tiles Of the government OF the United States,
when We shall retire, knowing that we have sur
rendered the same alone to the government of
the United States.

AFTER THE SURRENDER.
At Z O'Clock last evening two companies OF the
Sd infantry marched down and were qusrtered in
the state house. Col. Thomas Boylan, the
McEnery chief of police, remains on duty with
his force. The city is very quiet. The last ex-
ira published last evening stated that General
Brooke had been appointed military governor.
This solution Of the problem seemed to give
general satisfaction, but the report proved 70
be untrue, no definite action having been taken
regarding the future government of the state.
The re port that General Badgers leg had been
amputated was incorrect. His recovery is now
considered almost certain.
