The condition OF the cotton for the present
month makes most gratifying exhibit. The
increase over last year in the area planted is
between one ana two per cent, and the con-
dltion of the crop, with one exception, is the
most favorable OF any for the past five sea-

soil generally too wet and cold for rapid
growth, the stand is good anu the crop unu-

SPEAKER BLAINE's lNJURIES.-The Hon.
James q. Blaine of Maine, was among the
passengers on the Boston and New York ex-
press train which was wrecked near fremont
station on Saturday evening. A reporter of
the Tribune visited Mr.. Blaine at the Fifth
avenue hotel yesterday. He has been con-
fined to his bed ever since the accident. In
addition to several scratches on different
parts of the body, a severe bruise was re-
ceiyed in the right side, which gives him
such acute pain at times as TO render talking
dlff1cult. 1t is now thought, however, that
no bones were broken, and Mr.. Blaine ex-
presses the hope that he will be up again in
few days, as there is no evidence of any Sc
riOus internal injury. He states that he was
sitting quietly in one of the parlor cars-the
train running at about 50 miles per hour
when he felt, by the peculiar jolting, that the
wheels were off the track, and almost inn
mediately thereafter The car was thrown
around and over on its side with men women
band boxes, sofas, and other things in a pro-
miScuOus heap at the bottom. The paSSen-
gers were at least ten minutes in extricating
themselves from the wreck, on account of
the difficulty of climbing over the state-roOm
just inside of the door. Mr. Blaine declined
10 say anything whatever upon the subject
that bore upon the political questions of the
day, saving: II never talk politics between
political campaigns."-N j. Tribune, 18Th.

TREASURER NEW is expected TO arrive in
Washington tonight. He Will at once, upon
his arrival here, consult with Gen. Spinner
and arrangements will be made for the
counting of all the funds in the Treasury de-
partment In addition TO the money, the
new treasurer must also receipt for all the
various issues of government bonds and
other securities in the hands of the present
treasurer. 1t is probable that the count will
be completed within ten days after il shall
nave been entered upon. First, Gen. Spin
ner VIII ascertain the amount of money he
has on hand at the date of transfer. This
VIII not require an actual count of the funds,
as the books of the Office are presumed to
snow the exact amount on hand. The neces-
slty for the count will be ON the part of Mr..
New, who Will OF course have an actual
count made TO verify the books. 1t is
the general impression that there will he
done by Treasury employees not connected
with the Treasurer's Office. Should the re-
suit OF this count verify the books, Mr. New
VIII receipt for the money. Should IL prove
TO be short, Gen. Spinner, will, of course,
have TO rise and explain. There is i'm the
Treasury, including the money in the re-
serve vaults, between thirty and forty mil
lion dollars. A portion of the amount is
been opened for some years. The amount of
gold in the department will not exceed more
than -, 600, the bulk of coin being In the
SUb-Treasurers office in New York, and for
which Gen. Spinner is not nor will the new
Treasurer be held responsible. One good re-
suit OF the count will be to either confirm or
set at rest the old story which was in circu.
latiOn about one year ago, that there was
then deficit of SIC, eco 900 in the funds.
