the candidates FOR Office, the same as at
present, sought evey means in their pow
er to place themselves in a favorable po-
siton before their constituents. \ good
story is told Of revolutionary soldier
who was running for Congress. His op-
ponent was young man who had "nev-
er been to the wars :" and it was the
custom of the old soldier to tell of the
hardships he had endured. Said he:
Fellow-citizens have fought and
bled for my country. 1 have helped to
whip the British and the Indians. | have
slept on the field Of battle with no other
covering than the canopy of heaven. I
have walked over the frozen ground till
every footstep was marked with blood"
Just about this time one OF the sovor-
cigns, " who had become greatly inter
csted in bis tale Of sufarings, walked up
in front Of the speaker, wiped the tears
from his eyes with the extremity OF his
coat lall, ana lnterruptng with
" Did you say you bad fout the British
and Injins ?"
"fcs, SIR"
" Did you say yon had slept on the
ground Without kiyer while serving
your country?'
81 did"
" Did yoa say your feet covered the
ground you walked over with blood ?"
&" Yes" replied the speaker, exulting-
y.
Well, thon," said the fearful citizen,
Is he gave a sigh Of pent-up emotion,

The President will receive a centennial ad-

Cabinet Meeting.
There was special cabinet meeting today of
two hours duration at which all the DEPART
ments except the war department were repre-
scented. The interior and state departments
were represented by Assistant Secretaries Cor
ham and Cadwallader. The meeting was for
the purpose of attending TO mass of miscel.
laneous subjects which had accumulated
during the summer, though there is an impress
sion that some affairs of more than ordinary
Importance were the subject of attention Up
on this, however, there is great reticence
among cabinet officers as to their character.
The subject of Governor Chamberlain's request
for assistance of the general government in
preserving public peace in South Carolina was
not considered, but will be at the regular SEES

The Cotton Crop.
Reports to the department of agriculture in
dictate reduction in the condition OF cotton
during past months in the ten principal cotton
states from an average OF 92.3 to VT. Ihe
October average for these states was So in 1875
and II in 1874. The decline for September is
slight in Georgia, Florida and Mississippi;
greater in Louisiana, and Arkansas and great
est in Alabama and Tennessee. There is a
small advance in Texas. The figures for the
condition of states are as follows: North
Carolina, 81; South Carolina, 80; Georgia, So;
Florida, So Alabama, 20; Mississippi, SO; Lou
siana, 50; Texas, 81. Arkansas, IS; Tennessee,
81 The impairment of crop prospect has been
caused by the equinoctional storm in North
Carolina and drought and rust in Georgia; the
caterpillar in Florida and Alabama; the boil
worm in Arkansas, and frost in Tennessee.
The caterp,ller is confined to the southerly por-
tion of the gulf states. Its depredations are
most severe in Alabama. In most of the infest-
ed districts its reproduction was too late to de-
stroy mtre than the top crops.
