The May and June report of the agri-
cultural bureau has reached us; it has
the following respecting cotton:
"The June returns indicate slight
reduction in area in cotton, compara-
lively late planting, good stands, except
in cases of too early planting or inunda-
ton; growth not up TO the average for
the season, healthy and improving con-
dition, and clean culture, with the ex-
ceptions caused by heavy rains that stim.
ulate growth and prevent working The
largest local reduction in area has been
in Louisiana, caused by the overflow and
wet weather in the planting season. The
next largest is in Tennessee, where the
season has been cold and wet. In certain
districts in Texas there has been an effort
to substitute corn for cotton, but in one
fourth of the counties there has been a
positive increase, and in nearly half the
remainder no decrease, while the enlarge
ment of the total area of arabic crops is
rapidly increasing. The figures for acre
age are as follows: North Carolina,
ninety-eight; South Carolina, ninety
nine; Georgia, ninety-four; Florida,
eighty-nine; Alabama, one hundred +,
Mississippi, ninety-eight; Louisiana,
eighty-nine; Texas, one hundred; Ar
kansas, one hundred; Tennessee, ninety
five. The reduction in the entire area
is about three per cent. In Virginia and
North Carolina there is some complaint
of bad stands and small growth from cold
nights, though the plants are healthy,
and the culture generally clean. The
late planting promises well in South
Carolina. Early seeding has been pro-
| ductive of poor stands. The condition
averages very high in Georgia, owing to
seasonabe rains, fine weather for work,
and abundant labor. Drought at the
| time OF planting has affected the crop un,
favorably ir Florida. Stands are gener
ally good in Mississippi and Alabama
and the plants healthy though small. In
Louisiana overflows have seriously in
jured the crop in the exposed localities
Droughts in some parts of Texas hav,
been injurious. The plant is looking
well in Arkansas and Tennessee, excep
in places where it was injured by inces
SAINT rains or inundations. The condition
of the several statesis as follows: Nortl
Carolina, one hundred and one Soutl
Carolina, ninety-eight; Georgia, on,
hundred and three; Florida, eighty.two
Alabama, ninety-four; Mississippi, ninety
two; Louisiana, eighty-nine Texas
ninety; Arkansas, ninety-fivc; Tennessee
ninety-three. An analysis of the fgurci
shows that one condition of the crop il
nearly but not quite so favorable as OF
the first day of June, 1875; the June av
ersee of 1876 is also less than in ls7:
and 1870, but greater than 1874, 1873
and 1871. The opening prospect for the
growing crop is, then, at least full av
erage with late years, but il character
and productiveness depend upon tht
subsequent developments Of the season
and the culture bestowed upon it,"

Indian inspector Vandervere reports
that at council with the Indians Of the
Red Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies,
June 18th, the chiefs and Others ex-
pressed willingness to relinquish the
Black Hills country on the terms offered
by Vandervere. The chiefs all promised
to keep their people at home and to re-
main about the agencies. They declare,
and evidence here sustains their dcclan-
ton, that very few Sioux are absent,
and that it is chiefly Cheyennes who
have committed depredations in this
neighborhood and who have gone north
to Join the hostiles. The inspector says:
"The arrangement with the Indians
that regard ~ pFactieable at the pro
sent time is an agreement between
them and the government by which
they shall relinquish all rights TO the
Black Hills, and consent to such d.
minished boundaries Of their resefva-
ton as shall secure this object. In
consideration of this relinquishment,
the government shall guarantee to
continue the supplies Of food and other
articles to them, as under the former
treaty, for FIVE years from date Of new
agreement. I would further stipulate
with the Indians that they shall, when
ever the government requires, consent to
the removal of their agencies from their
present location to any point that msy
he designated for them on or near the
Missouri river, where better farming
land can be found, or to wherever the
government may ch pose to transfer them
to better their condition. As an induce
ment to their consent TO such removal or
transfer, there should be offered them .
reasonable supply Of stock, cattle, oxen,
farming implements, lumber for houses,
cooking stoves and utensils, wagons, ETC.,
to he distributed to those only who take
land and settle upon it for cultivation,
or who engage in stock raising or other
useful industry. Provision also should
be made for schooling the children and
for the instruction Of the young men in
the mechanic arts. Law should be o.
tablished among them and the jurisdic-
ton OF our courts extended TO them the
same as to white men. Iwould give the
Sioux tribes the privilege Of sending one
of their own people to sit as delegate
in congress. Nearly the entire force OF
the agency Indians are here now and are
anxious for peace. Statements repre-
senting different state of things are not
entitled to credit. Nothing could be
more unfortunate than TO stop the
rations Of these Indians at the present
time, and thus drive them to the altern-
stive of stealing or starving"

ReAux Of European Emigration.

The European steamers for Europe
continue -t9 take out large numbers OF
steerage and second class passengers,
chiefly artisans and mechanics and labor
ing men, who are said to be returning
home, unable to find employment here.
On the ether side, it seems, there has
been some incredulity as to these
reasons for this rehux of human tide,
and 40 a correspondent Of the London
Daily News, determined to ascertain the
truth of the matter, boarded one steamer
ON her arrival at Queenstown, which had
four hundred and fifty steerage passen-
gers on board, and the following Is the
Version of the causes Of the British exo-
dus from America: He says he found
both hopeful and despondent people
among them, but on the whole the san
guine had the best of it in numbers and

as going to the dogs altogether. There
was no work to be got, and they were
coming hsme to try their luck once
more in the land where, when they went
away, they believed no luck was left for
them. The majority, however, had come
back with more OF less of saved money
