THE CROPS
Decline in Their Prospects-Cau4es Of
the Misfortune.

the MtSfOrtune.
WASHINGTON, Sept IL, 1874.
The September returns OF the Department OF
Agriculture show very heavy decline In the
prospects OF the cotton crop in all the States ex-
rept Virginia, where it about holds it's own. The
crop OF virginia, however. is too small TO exer-
else any appreciate influence on the general
result The State averages are as follows:-
Virginia 9s; North Carolina, 81 IA decline OF Is
during August) South Carolina, So IA decline Of
81 Georgia, II IA decline OF ~ Florida, II Ia
decline Of 25) Alabama, 81 Ia decline OF 81 /; Mis-
sissppi, rs Ia decline OF Ia Louisiana, 90 Ia de-
cline OF 2l Texas, "a IA decline OF AZ Arkansas
~ Ia decline OF 4o) Tennessee. As IA decline OF 35
The Leading cause OF the decline Is found In the
prevalence over large sections OF the cotton OF
severe drought accompanied by intense heat. In
many localities not winds have parched the crop,
IN one or two cases destroying II within nalf an
hour Several counties report no rain Tor four or
1ve months. In many cases the too crops are
entirely DESTROYED, the bolis having all lallen.
The middle crops were also badly injured. In
few localities. genial rains have made fine
crops but the number OF these favored
spots is very small In the Atlanuc
cotton States, cool nights and heavy rains
alleged In some counties as the cause OF the
decline. The drought has prevented the increase
OF insects depredating upon the cotton. They are
reported In very few counties and have been no.
where very injurious.

DOSING TIE QUACKS.
Meeting OF tho Eclectic Board Of Gem

sOrs.
The enforcement Of the law respecting the treat
ment Of those persons who have hitherto prac-
tised as phy sicians without proper education as
such Is creating considerable fear among them.
Already many have withdrawn their advertise
ments from the newspapers and relieved their
house fronts from the onerous burdens OF lying
inscriptions. This is very happy result, but
whether IT Will not be overcome very soon and The
quacks resume their murderous practice de-
pends upon the ability and energy OF the
boards OF censors appointed by the sew
eral schools or medicine. The bom9opa-
thists and the alopathists are preceded into the
field OF investigation by the Eclectic censors,
who met yesterday afternoon at the Eclectic
medical College, NO. 223 East Twenty-siXth street.
Chairman: r. A. Kpnze Secretary: G. "a. Archer,
NJ. b. Hayden and A. B. Foote, were present.
Before the Board convened several rooms OF the
small college building were filled with candidates
for licenses; scared possessors Of recipes who
wanted to learn how they could continue TO sell
officers OF the law, and physicians, who wished to
have their diplomas supervised and approved SO
that they might register the instruments AT the
County Clerks once and be done win potnering.
great number OF the attendants were German.
The censors approved all the certihcates presented
to them. They put OIL, however, all the persons
who applied TO be examined for licenses, as they
prefer TO make examinations quietly alter the
rush OF physicians and OF .ear-srrcken herb dis
tiers is over. The censors told those persons OF
the latter class who appeared that II they ceased
to announce themselves as physicians no steps
represented themselves since the "Law TO regu-
iate the practice Of medicine and surgery" went
into operation IN June last Further, these people
were informed that they could continue to sell
their compounds under the regula tons OF the
Them as effective remedies for certain physical
afhictlons, but II they mentioned themselves as
posed by themselves they would be prosecuted as
quacks and impostors.

itor OF Jay Cooke h Co. for nearly $4,000 that IN
June last the trustee informed him that he had
funds and would soon be able to pay dividend
at the rate OF 1--WE per cent to the Joint creditors

seven per cent, and Ia August the trustee stated
TO him that the preferred claim made by the First
National Bank OF Washington had swept all the
funos from his hands, and rendered II Impossible
TO pay any dividend at present. wherefore ne
prayed that the trustee be decreed to account
