HOLDING BACK THE COTTON.

Worthy Master ID. Wyatt Aiken
has published a letter addressed to the
planters of the South, in which he
urges them to hold back their cotton
for better prices. Sound advice, we
think, if it were possible for the plant
ers generally to follow it, and the fact
that they cannot is sad commentary
on their impoverished condition, and
on their method of doing business. To
those who have given liens on their
crops, he says: Pursue the same course
that the merchant does when he cannot
meet his obligations without sacrificing
his stock-ask Il renewal. Move
forward just enough cotton to pay a

new,' that's the word. II refused, then
philosophize upon the servitude of the
cotton planter and the sincerity of
commercial friendships. Ii granted

with the scheme OF a railroad from New York

A contract has been made with Mr.. Pickles

We were also informed by Mr.. Cook that he
had purchased the right of using DR.. Fields
process for the States of Pennsylvania and
Ohio, and that he was now negotiating with a
gentleman from Prussia, largely interested in
furnaces in that country, England and the
United States. for the sale Of the entire right to

PROVED.
What our peach-growers want more than any,
thing ose, is improved varieties OF fruit
larger, finer Of form and color, and better in
flavor. Thousands and tens of thousands OF
baskets of little trash have been picked and
marketed, this season, doing as much a5 all
other causes TO glut the market Yesterday,
Randolph Peters, the well-hnown nuTseryman
ot this county, showed us samples of his
Seeding No |" which lie has named the
"Brandywine," and We have no hesitation i'll
saying that it is very superior and desirable
peach.
The Brandywine is largo fruit /; tho spec-
mems shown ua We're n fair average, we were
told,a wero about the largest we have handled
this season. 1t is perfect freestone, with
yellow flesh, and of superior flavor. Its shape
is good and color rich. tEvidently it is n Seeding
from the Crawfords Late but crossed with some
other variety, 20 that it rpens two weeks later
count, and much sweeter in taste. 1t comes
into market with the Smock, but while the latter,
yesterday, was selling at 20 cents Il basket, tho
Brandywno, marketed by Mr.. Peters. brought

no more to raise good fruit than inferior trash,
but when the former grows it lis worth and will
command good return. Tho time is past for
small and poor fruit. Growers must now attend

to find the residence Of that gentleman and tel

and succeeded in finding some friends of the

Senator Bayard took occasion, at the Demo-
cratic ratification meeting in Baltimore the other
night to assert that religious liberation in this
country had its origin in the " Catholic colony
of Maryland. So studious gentleman as AIr.
Bayard should not be in ignorance of tho un-
challenged proof that at the poriod claimed by
the Catholics rs the time when this federation
was promulgated, Maryland was no more a
Catholic colony than was Pennsylvania Quaker
colony in 1900. A Quaker in the one case, and
Catholic i'll the other were the proprietors, it
is true But the local governments in both had
taken the bit in their teeth and were acting with
spirit of independence which changed the
original character of these colonies. The Rev.
L. ID. Neill President of Manchester College, ST.
Paul Minnesota, has investigated that mat
ter fully And he says that this claim
70 often repeated has no historical
foundation. Continuing, he asserts that the
Governmentin MARYLAND in 16i9 was rs follows;

testant, G Burgesses, Protestant . total, l6'

creditors and the estimate reduced 5000, 600. it
IL believed that an equally good result can be
made for tho general creditors out of the assets
after the claim of the Calvert is satisfied with
