The Maine Eiqu0r Law

Some interesting official statistics rela-
tive TO the enforcement of the prohbitory
lav In the state of Maine have Just been
rnado public. From these we learn that
the sum of $50 90 in fines was imposed and
collected for the violation of the prohibit
tory Law during the year. There were 276
convictions in the supreme court, of rum
sellers and Al commitments, to jail--a lar
ger number than in any similar period pre-
vlous. Crime lhas decreased, the number
of convicts in the state prison being % per
cent less than ten years since. The num-
Der Of sentences to the state prison and
jails, exclusive Of commitments for liquor
selling, the past year or two. is nearly 30
per cent smaller than in 1866, SO that it
may be said. with the figures, before lis as a
solid basis, that the laws against dram shops
are almost as well enforced as the laws
against many other similar crimes, and
whatever sales of liquor there may be, in
scven-cghths of the state, they are carried
on very secretly and sparingly.

A subject which has occupied the pub

A subject which has occupied the public
mind for years, and which has boon repeat
eddy discussed In these columns, seems, at
last, to have forced itself upon the atten-
ton of congress- body now possessing
the only power to set in the matter. 1t
we remember Alright, an objection on the
part of either the senate or house now pre-
vents the counting of the electoral vote OF
q state. Under the operation of this rule,
two years ago, The votes of Arkansas and
Louisiana were thrown ou'-that 10, these
states were allowed 10 pat or voice in the
presidential election. Two years from now
the republicans will 10 in tho majority in
the senate and the democrats In the house,
and IL either party was go disposed, they
could work incalculable woes 10 the coun.
try, and, perhaps, inaugurac revolution.
In view of these facts there Is "dcal of
thinking going on in Washington, relative
to which the correspondent Of the Times
telcgraphs as follows: There is now the
evident prospect that the electoral vote in
the next election viii be very close, and it
is possible that tho counting Of the votes
from Louisiana, or Mississippi, or Arkan-
sas, or all three of those states, may de-
termine who shall be President. AZ the
senate will be republican and the honae
democrats, nothing is moro likely than
that the disputed or challenged vote
should be thrown out by the disagreement
of the two houses, aud if the vote so thrown
out should defeat, or change the result Of
tho cleo ion, it is believed that most serious
consequences would flow. The subject,
of coursc. il not ~ Y. but is receiving re-
newed coasidera,,Ia, ard an effort will lie
made to pass the resolution for consi,u-
uonal amendment, which was reported by

prominent persons in Madrid is being exc

Bright Crop Prospects.

The Washington correspondent of the
American Press Association has compiled
the July returns to the Department Of
Agriculture, which were unusually full,
and show an improvement of the cotton
crop during June in the cotton States,
except Texas. The State averages are as
follows:
North Carolina 95, an improvement of
thr ee per cent: South Carolina improved
two per cent; Georgia 81, improved six per
cent; Florida 10l, improved seven per cent;
Alabama l02, improved one per cent; Mis-
sissippi I03, improved three per cent; Louis
lana los, improved ten per cent; Texas 80,
declined three per cent; Arkansas lO4, i'm
proved fourteen per cent; Tennessee 109,
improved ten per cent. Some portions of
the cotton area were afflicted with drought
which, however, was less injurious to cotton
than to other crops. Its injuries were
mostly compensated by the opportunity it
affords for better working Of the crops. In
Texas cut worms, cotton caterpillars and
grasshoppers were injurious in some local..
ties, q few isolated reports also mention
cotton lice, but Insect depredatiOns so far
have not affected the crops to an extent
worth estimating.

miles, over triangular course of seven and
half miles and repeat. The time made by

Achenck to the Rescue.

The Buffalo Express says: When Minister
Schenck read that insOlent article in the
London Standard calling our revolution an
''insane revolt" he slowly unfolded the
American flag which he habitually wears as
dressing gown, and, waving it above his
head three times, swore he would avenge
the eagle for this foul insult. Calling his
lackey, he hastily wrote brief note, which
he ordered to be posted attwelve o'clock on
the bulletin at the London Exchange. It
contained these few but significant words:
''All chips and I. u. us in possession of
the undersigned must be cashed before P.
NJ, or war with the United States will open
promptly at six. Firing to begin at nine.
(Sigued) T. E. SCHENCK. Minister
The effect OF this simple proclamation vas
astounding. The markets were paralyz zeCt
fof the time being. The Bank Of England
suspended specie payments for two hours,
and q terrible run on all the banks was only
averted by the execution of the editor of
the Standard at two o'clock and the with
drawal OF Mr.. Schepck's notice. 1t was an
heroic measure, but fully warranted by the
gravity of the provocation, and it will be a
lesson that the licentious press Of London
will not soon forget.

GREENBRIER WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
Va, July 20.-Au' informal meeting was
held to-day by the delegates to the National
Cotton Convention. President John Phelps,
of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
called the meeting to order. He stated that
in consequence Of break in tie Chesapeake

it would be impracticable to appoint busl
ness committees in advance of the regular
opening.
Secretary John s. Tcof. Of Memphis, read
the list Of cotton exchanges wich would be
represented at the convention, by which it
appeared that the association had been
joined since the last meeting by the ex
changes of Shreveport, Louisiana, Nash
vile, Norfolk and Selma. Each of these are
entitled to q representation of two dele
gates, according TO classification adopted
last year. The following cotton exchanges
Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans,
gomery, Norfolk. Augusta, Nashville,

Louis, New York, Philadelphia, Athens,
Galveston and Louisville. The total num-
Der Of delegates is between ninety and one

phis being next in order. The president
having been notified that General Joe
Johnston, Of Virginia, Hon. Robert TOOmbs

solved to invite them to participate in the
