THE NEwsPAPER DIREcToKY.

George p. Rowell & Co., of New
York, are, without any doubt, the lead
ing advertising agents of the United
States, and, therefore, of the world.
They have, by the free, liberal and yet
well-directed use Of money, built them
selves up in the esteem OF the leading
publishers and advertisers of the cond-
nent, and by an unusual energy have
succeeded in perfecting in every detail
business that better than anything else
tells OF the growth and Importance Of
the newspaper business. We yesterday
received & copy of their american NelCs-
paper Directory, containing accurate
lists Of all the newspapers published in
the United States and Territories and
the dominion Of Canada and British
colonies of North America, comprising
in all the names of seven thousand
seven hundred and eighty-four, an in
crease Of four hundred and ninety-three
over 1873, eight hundred and sixty-twO
over 1872, and Of one thousand two hun
dred and seventy-ssx over that Of 1871.
OF this increase Tennessee claims nine,
giving US a total of one hun
dred and forty-one newspapers
and periodicals. This book, elegantly
bound and printed in the best style of
the art Indeed model Of typography,
is in all essentials Uade HleclfHl for ad-
vertisers, affording them at glance the
complete status of every publication IN
the Union, Canada and the British
provinces, including standing and cireu-
lstion. Il should therefore find place
in every merchant and bankers office,
as in every newspaper Office, no matter
when or where published. 1t embraces
all publications of every lsnguage-the
German, French. Scandinavian, Span
ish, Hollsndish, Italian, Welsh, Bohe-
mian, Portuguese, Polish, Cherokee and
English. We have copy of this mag
nifcent work in our counting-room for
the benefit OF advertisers and the public
generally, an inspection Of which We
invite as the best proof we can offer Of
the benefits of advertising. As We have
said, it is worthy in every sense Of the
profession, and we hope it will return to
the publishers their outlay thousand
fold

HOUSE.

The clause in the civil service bill,
passed by the house yesterday, reads as
follows, after having been modified, on
the motions of Messrs Butler and STARK
weather: "And it shall be the duty OF
the officer at the head Of the executive
department at Washington to prescribe
and publish rules for ascertaining the
qualifications Of applicants for sppoint-
ments at his disposal, or made under his
authority. and TO make such appoint
ments only among candidates who have
qualifications of honesty, efficiency and
fidelity. and not as rewards OF mere
party zeal, giving preference only to
those who have the additional qualifica-
tinns of honorable record in the military
or naval service Of the United States, or
the widow, wife, daughter, sister OF
mother of such soldier or sailor; and II
sbsU be his further duty to make such
annointments rs equitsbly as possible
fFom the qualified candidates presenting
themselves from the several congress
sional districts, and with refert nee 10
their population; and upon the removal
of any appointee, the reason for sucn
removal shall be stated on the records
of the department where the service was
rendered"

NASHVILLE.
Our Schools and COiIeges-Tse Univer-
stty Alumni SOcfety-THe Ne
groes es-Etc-

From an Occasional Correspondsas.l
NAsHvILLE, June 13.-This has been
an interesting week in literary circles In
this city. The Ward female school had
its commencement exercises, which were
well attended and were very entertain
ing. This school has deseryedly great
character. The Nashville university
commencement took place st the Capt.
tol last Thursday night. Degrees we're
conferred upon several very promising
young men, among them grandson Of
John G. Calhoun, who has the same
name that the distinguished Carolinian
had, and who is said to resemble him
very much, having the same left-hand
gesture for which Mr.. Calhoun was so
remarkable. The GlssDaz1i society Of this
institution, the pride of Tennessee, met
on Friday and adopted some very strong
resolutions, and took steps toward in
creasing the endowment Of the vener-
able university, which numbers among
its graduates such men as Hons. John
Bell, Ephraim H. Foster, Edwin 81. and
Andrew Ewing, Abednego Stephens,
and William B. Turley, Of Tennessee;
Judge William Yerger, of Mississippi;
Judge A. ]. Walker, chief-justice of
Alabama, and various others scarcely
less distinguished. The object Of the
alumni is to make it equal in every re-
spect to any university in the south, not
excepting the
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.
The most accomplished scholar in the
south, DrrC. G.. Smyth, of Huntsville,
Alabama, brother of Chancellor William
Smith, Of your city, was selected unan-
imously to deliver the next address be-
fore the alumni society. 1t is under
stood that this institution IL now in
much better condition than many sup
pose. 1t has three hundred thousand
dollars in money and property, and with
two hundred Thousand dollars, addition
al endowment, it can be made equal to
any university in the south. The public
school system Of Nashville, which was
very fine, and improving, has received
a severe shock from the agitation grow
ing out of the civil rights bill. The ne
groes who favor that bill are very fool
ish. 1t will iDjure them moro than it
will injure anyone else, and the only
object of it is to iDjure the southern
States, including blacks as well rs
whites. The majority of the negroes in
the State, think, are opposed to it,
though some who live about the cities,
and who feel themselves above their own
race, are advocates Of it. believe the
object of the men in congress who advO-
cate this bill, is TO drive the white peo-
pie from the southern States, and cause
these States to be Africanized. When
this is done, there will be no danger Of
the southern States becoming their ri
walls in the manufactures of New Eng
land, because, they will never be any
thing more than cOtton-planting States,
occupied and cultivated by negroes. The
object is to make an India Of the sotuh.

what she BtStIstfeian OF Agriculture
Knows about the Cotton Prospect
Favorable Reports.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-The statls-
tician Of the department Of agriculture
makes 8 report OF the acreage in cotton,
based on returns from most of the cotton
countries, and on personal observation
in six cotton States, as follows, the COM
psrison being with the area Of 1873:
Virginia so, North Carolina SO, South
Carolina 81, Georgia 80, Florida 81, Ala
bama Sc, Arkansas SO, Tennessee 90,
Mississippi IS, Louisiana so, Texas 102,
Missouri So. The aggregate production
slightly exceeds ten per cent. The con-
dition of the crop is represented by the
following figures, 100 being the normal
or fair condition: North Carolina SO,
South Carolina 81, Georgia SO, Florida
80, Alabama 50, Mississippi IS, Louisi-
ana 20, Texas 80, Arkansas so, Tennes-
see S5. The report of the condition in
June, 1878, was more favorable in every
State except North Carolina and Texas.
The record stands as follows: North
Carolina IS, South Carolina IS, Georgia
SO, Florida 102. Alabama "a, Mississippi
80, Louisiana "a, Texas SO, Arkansas SO,
Tennessee g. The season has been re-
markable; the stand Is very poor, many
plants not having made their appear
ance on the first of June. Since May
last, showers have been general, aud
prospects are much improved; fields are
much cleaner than at this date last year,
and can easily be kept free from weeds.
With favorable weather rapid improve
ment is certain, and fair comparison
with July is quite probable at next re-
