Tennessee,

RALEIGH, July 13.-The cotton con.
gress met here to day, President Butler
IN the chair. Governor Brogden well
coined the members To the capital Of the
State. he said il only remained for our
people, and particularly our mechanical,
manufacturing and farming interests,
to work together more harmGniousIy,
adyIsedly and eneTgetically 10 make this
country all that its most ardent friends
could wish, the pride Of our own people
and the admiration and envy Of the
world. La this effort the people Of the
south and Of the great west had much
to do, as upon their eXertiOns depended
the success OF every enterprise in this
great country. Toe south should de-
pend to much greater extent upon her
own resources; IL she ever wishes to be-
come prosperous and Independent. We
need more manufactures Of every char
acter and greater diversity in our crops,
and more harmonious working to-.
gether Of those interests which are so
identical.
Colonel Butler, ia behalf Of the con-
gTess, thanked the governor and people
OF North Carolina for this welcome to
the capital.
+. H. Busbee, on behalf OF the mayor,
extended hearty welcome to the repre-
sentatives Of the great west present,
and, said he, deplore it as much as we
may, the west was the grsnary and
smokehCu5e of the whole south, and the
cOmingling Of the representatives Of the
two sections was peculiarly appropriate
He said the time will soon come, nay,
has already come, when the children Of
Georgia will resd with glowing admira-
ton the matchless deeds OF the gallant
M'PhersOn, and the youth OF Illinois
and Iowa will learn lessons OF heroic pa
iriOtism and sacred devotion to duty at
tie grave OF StOnewall Jackson.
DR.. Maxwell, Of Tennessee, responded
to Mr.. Busbee ia behalf Of the congress.
He returned, in touching terms,
the thanks OF that body for the hearty
welcome which had been extended to
those whom he represented. One Of the
principal objects OF the congress was to
unite more thoroughly every interest of
the whole country, and the welcome ex-
tended here to those of the great west
as well as those Of thesouth, would tend
to weld together more thoroughly the
two sections.
Among prominent gentlemen present
are Hon. r. Starkland, Iowa; Judge J.
d. Jones, Arkansas; Colonel D. E. But.
Ter, Georgia; r. NJ. Sims, South Caro-
lima, snd DR.. W. Maxwell, Tennessee,
and many Others are expected tonight
and in the morning.

VENEZUELA.
Gar Relations with Giie Venezuelan
Government Discussed ia Cabinet
SessIOn-PFOmpt Measures
Adopted.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-An extra
ordinary council of tire cabinet men,
bers having been called by Secretary
Fish, they met to day at the department
of state, continuing in session about
three hours. All were present, except
Secretary Belknap, who is absent in the
west. The subject of our relations with
Venezuela was laid before the council
by Secretary Fish, who read the latest
communications rom our minister to
that country, and stated the general
facts in the case. 1t may be recOllected
thst in the year 1872 the President an
nounced that the government of Vene-
zuela had made no further payments on
account of the awards under the con-
vention of 1866, and expressed
the hope that it would lose no time in
providing for the unpaid balance of its
debt to the United States, which, having
originated in injuries to our citizens by
the Venezuelan authorities, having been
acknowledged pursuant to a treaty in the
most solemn form among nations, would,
the President said, seem to deserve a
preference over other debts Of different
origin and contracted in q different man
neT; and he recommended this subject
to the attention of congress for such &C
zion as might be deemed proper. In
pursuance OF this recommendation, con-
gTess, in joint resolution, expressed its
sense in regard to the awards OF The
Joint commission under the convention,
and the Venezuelan government was
furnished with copy of the resolution,
which excluded al doubt Of the earn st.
ness of our government in its demand
for the payment OF the amount que. but
there was no satisfactory response on The
part OF the Venezuelan government. In
1873 the President, in his annual mes
sage. said 10 congress: "It Is appre-
hended that that government does
not realize the character Of
its obligation under that con-
ventiOn, as there is reason to believe,
however, that its hesitsncy to recognize
them springs, in part at least, from the
real difficulty of dischargiug them in
connection with its obligations to other
governments. The expectancy Of fur
ther fOrbcarsnce on our part is believed
to be worthy of your consideration"
Since then our minister at Venezuela
has been repeatedly instructed to urge
the payment of the deferred install
ments, until at last the Venezuela gov
eminent he9 expressed a disposition to
do so, but claims the privilege OF desig-
mating particular parties to whom the
money shall be paid. To this our gov
eminent will not consent, the PROPOSE
ton apart from other considerations,
being contrary to the terms Of the con-
ventIon. The Venezuela government
will be informed OF the rejection OF its
proposition, and unless the money shall
be paid as the stipulation requires, our
minister to Venezuela will probably be
Withdrawn.

sEaEnAL pEEEIas,s sPErcn

General John 5. Preston has been so
much baGgeyed on account Of his i'll
timed and ill-advised address before the
alumni Of the university Of Virginia,
that 1t is cruel 10 criticise him. But We
desire the APPEAL to be placed on re-
cord % repudiatiDg and condemning his
folly. Il time like the present, when
the southern people have quietly acqui-
esced in the results Of the war, and sre
laboring to bury the passions it engeD-
ueredr it is wicked, it is atrOcious
Tor q prominent southern man to make
such an address as fell from the lips of
the irreconcilable Preston. While south
ern men, as patriotic and as much de-
voted 10 the. Confederate cause as him
sell, are endeavoting to heal the
wounds Of the war, this fanaticsl fool,
clothed in the vestments Of antiquity,
covered with tie moss Of the past,
makes a speech which is as seditious
and incendiary as it is reckless and
wicked. Ii does not pay the southern
people TO continue the discharge Of empty
rhetoric at the north. 1t does not bene-
fl even such men as General Preston
TO nurse their sorrows and TO take a
morbid sort Of delight in contemplating
the scars which they fOndly assume to he
iuGfaCeable. The southern people look
with sbhOrreDce at the uttersnces o.
gg.t,groT Dr.5t,D FTi,ovv hoHa IuriaT the
past. and their motto is: "Act! act in
the living presentw Waste not the
rest Of life In fixiUg the sod over the
grave ~ thc .5-t cause! Waste no time
4. trying to bring any dead thing to
life. When a matter has been settled,
let it alone, and devote time and effort
to practical measures for the present and
the future. Instead Of obstinate adher-
cuce to the whipped ideas Of q power
less minority, chivalric but vanquished,
take facts as they are, accept and make
the lest Of the situation as il
, actually is, and Join with those
who are trying to accomplish some
real good for the country. The speech Of
General Preston is a godsend to the
Ra iical party. 1t comes 10 them as op-
portuuely as the shady grove and the
gushing spring to the thirsty traveller in
the desert. For months Morton, Logan,
Cavton, and the Chicago Inter Ocean
have been hanging on the ragged edge
OF political despair, auXIOusly waiting
for something to turn up. The Euklux
would not accommodate them. But
General Preston, Of South Carolina, has
come To the rescue. The Radicals have
eagerly seized upon his frantic utter
auces, and they insist that he represents
southern sentiment. It will take some
time to 6fsce the injury which this
speech has done. But the people Of the
north viii be convinced, By the almost
unanimous protest Of the south, that
General Preston represents nobody hut
himself We axe told tina. even the
alumni he addressed were disguised
with his frantic fsnsticism. Such is
certainly the feeling Of the southern
people. Our protest may be late, but it
is due 10 the APPEAL and its readers.

Crops in Great Britain.

LONDON, July 13.-The Mark Lane
Express, in its weekly review, says the
crops have been progressing favOrably,
and reports to this effect have produced
quieter feeling in the London market,
where prices had began to advance, but
there has been further improvement
in the country, prices in many places
being again one to two shillings dearer
for wheat; and as the idea OF having a
crop equal to last years is given up and
stocks decrease, there is plenty Of room
for further rise. In France the dam
age to crops from floods has been very
extensive in the provinces, and the fig
uTes show rise in wheat of from one to
two shillings.
