GREENBRIER WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
July 90 An informal meeting was held to-
day by the delegates to the National Cotton
Convention. President Jno. Phelps, of the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange called the

He stated that, in consequence of break

Secretary John S. Toof, of Memphis, read
the list of Cotton Exchanges which woald be
represented at the convention, by which it
appeared that the association had been Joined
since the last meeting by the Exchanges of

ton of two delegates, according to classified

INTERVENTION IN FAVOR OF CUBA,

Notwithstanding certain statements ofnews-
papers, there are no recent developments of a
diplomatic character concerning the aft irs OF
Cuba, and nothing whatever to give the least
color of truth to the rumor that England and
Germany are cooperating with the United
States in pressing upon the Spanish Govern
ment the policy of abandoning her West India
possessions, with view either to their divi-
sion among the three powers named, or their
organization into republic under the protec.
ton, express or implied, of said powers.
| The knowledge of such cooperation, it is
said, in Washington official circles, is con-
| fined exclusively to private parties and to the
press that gives it publicity. Nor has Great
Britain or Germany ever limited at co-opera-
ton of the three powers for the purpose men
toned. On the contrary, both Great Britain
and Germany have been remarkably careful
not to offend the seusibility of the United
States, the latter having, on repeated occa-
sions, declared its immovable adherence to
the Monroe Doctrine, and which both Great
Britain and Germany have officially said they
will respect
1t will be recollected that in 1869 our gov
eminent offered its good offices to Spain for
the purpose of bringing to a close the civil
war in Cuba on a certain designated basis
These Spain declined to accept but offered
basis of its own, which were declined by the
United States as incompatible with any prac-
ticable negotiation. In Withdrawing the offer
of the good offices, through the American
Minister, Spain was informed they would
again be offered whenever they could tend to
a settlement upon a just and honorable basis
of the unhappy contest that was devastating
Cuba and so iDjuriously affecting the United
States and Spain.
Since that time no similar overture has
been made by the United States, nor has
Spain minated that the repetition of the
offer would be agreeable. 1t has been ascer-
tanned, conditionally and otherwise, that the
opinion of leading men in Spain is that
every day the bond that unites Cuba with
Spain becomes weaker, and that the separa-
ton of the island from the mother country is
merely the work of time. independently of
any action which may be taken by the Span
ish government.
There IS now no possibility that Spain will
take any action apart from arms for the
pacifcation of Cuba. Meantime our govern
ment is passive on the question and awaits
events. Washington Correspondence Baltimore

Virginia Military Institute.

We are pleased to see that this famous in
stitution continues to sustain the high repu-
tation it won for itself in ante-bellum times
Among the students there are several from
this city who stand high in their classes, one,
the son of Col. I. w. Patton, having taken
the first honor at the recent commencement
The Board of Examiners, consisting of
such able and highly respectable gentlemen
as Prof Charles Davies, Major General Barry,
Omitted States Army,) Prof. D. II. Cochran
and Gan. Grigsby, in their official report, de-
clare that they have made themselves thor
oughly acquainted with the working of the
institute in its departments of instruction
and discipline, as well as in its internal ar
ranemgents, and ex press themselves in regard
to all these points in terms of high approba-
ton.
The moral and intellectual culture of the
cadets, their gentlemanly bearing, and the
precision and facility of their military move
ments, all give evidence that the faculty of
the Institute are faithfully discharging the
sacred duties devolving upon them. The
board concluded their report as follows:
In conclusion, your committee can not too
highly commend what has seemed to them
the marked and distinguishing features of
this institution, the happy combination of
the military system Of instruction with the
departments of science and of literary culture.
aud the more ennobling culture of the heart
and soul.
Nowhere else have we seen this combina.
ton so complete and perfect We can not
speak of it too highly. 1t is such system as
fits pupil tor life and for death. Under its
guidance he is sure to tread always the path
Of duty, virtue and honor.

THE CROPS.

The Bastrop (Morehouse) Clarion, of the
18th inst, says: If it doesn't rain within a
week or ten days we are not going to be able
to continue our sweet talk about the crops
at least in the upper portion of the parish.
In riding through that portion of the country
the other day we everywhere observed and
heard of the need of rain. About the Line
they will never be able to gather the cotton
they will make-if they can just get that rain
the old corn has already made two-thirds OF
an average crop, and even drouth will not
prevent full yield from that planted on new
ground. There are other portions of the
parish, besides that we rode through, which
are suffering from the effects of the drouth.
The Vermilionville, lafayette, Advertiser of
the 18th insu, says: 1t is with unfeigned
pleasure that we announce to our readers that
the crops throughout the Attakapas country
are full of promise. Tiding of the most en-
couraging nature reach us daily concerning
the coming harvest In the parish of St.
Landry the planters rel dice over their agricul-
tural prospects, from the parish of st. Martin
the same welcome news come to us; in the
parish of Vermilon, we are credibly in
formed, the Oldest planters within its borders
declare that never have they seen the crops
as good as this year; in our own parish we
would absta from any comment, as our
readers and the whole community are fully
aware that all the fields are teeming with rich
produce, long wished for harbingers of peace
and plenty.
The Opelousas (St. Landry Courier of the
18th inst, gays: We were shown last Thurs
day two very fine stalks of sugar cane grown
on the Poplar Grove Plantation, about five
and half miles west of Opelousas-one, q
plant cane, measuring five feet nine and a
half inches stripped of its leaves, had eight
red joints; and the other, three-year old
stubble, was four feet eleven inches in height
and had seven red joints. Thus, it will be
seen, crops of every kind are $50 fine as
never vas"
The Columbia Herald, of the 18th, says:
Although the weather is, and for weeks has
been, in many places too dry for the crops,
much of the corn being hopelessly blighted,
yet the generally favorable indices of the
crop prospects in this country have impaired
quite new and healthy vitality to the bust
ness operations and prospects of most of our
merchants and planters, as a general thing
wear smiling and hopeful visages.

Frederick Walker. Angelica Kaufman, elected
about hundred years ago, soon after the
foundation of the Academy, is the only

Thompson is the fashion just now, her cleo

clap-trap. Her chances however, do not ap-

The Knights Templar,s Ball.

The long talked of ball given by the
Grand Commandery of Louisiana, and In.
divis!ble Friends, Jacques De Molay and
Orleans commanderies, came off last night
at Exposition Hall. 1t was in all respects a
grand success, IN point of numbers present
and enjoyment afforded. A fine orchestra.
under the direction Of Professor Louis
Mayer, furnished excellent music, and the
committee of arrangements left nothing un-
done to otherwise add interest and pleasure
to the occasion. During the evening sixty Sir
Knights, picked from the hundreds for their
fine appearance and proficiency, executed
several evolutions in the Templar's manual
of drilling, and were heartily applauded
by the fair spectators. The drill exhibition
was under the direction of Sir Knight w.
L. Stafford. grand captain general. The
snowy costumes Of the Sir Knights, mingling
in the hall with the tasrefully dressed
ladies, made the assemblage pleasant one
TO look upon, and sociability and great
good feeling prevailed throughout the
evening. Among the spectators were Sir
Knight A. s. Badger and his lady. The
Colonel is still lame from his wounds, but
every Sir Knight present was glad to see
him yet alive and wearing his knightly
sword, although compelled to walk by the
aid of crutch. Past Grand Commander j.

s'Typical', Justice - De Soto.

In the testimony of General Lewis Mer
rill yesterday before the congressional
committee, he narrated the following in
stance of White League justice to a colored
man. The case was tried before Justice OF
the Peace Rouch, in De Soto parish. A
negro leased piece Of land on the follow.
ing terms: He was to build fence around
the land, build kitchen to the house, and
give one-ffth of the crop for the rent of
the land. The negro had an OK, his wife
had an OK, and he bought horse, paying
$40 cash and giving his note for $40, paya-
BILE in January, 1875.
After the crop was made and one-tifth
thereof paid for rent, the fence which had
been built by the lessee accidentally burned
down. Suit was brought for the non-build-
ing Of the fence and kitchen. The seller
came and took away the horse and brought
suit on the note, not yet due. Suit was also
brought for $40 rent, four years past due,
by another party. Judgment was rendered
with costs in each case, and satisfied,
amounting in all to about 5000. The crop
was valued at about 500. Citation was
served the day after judgment. When the
negro went for the balance he was informed
that it was absorbed by the costs
