COTTON MANUFACTURES.
IN, Y. Bulletin,1

The United States, estimated by the
bulk OF products, ranks as the second
among cotton manufacturing countries,
our consumption of cotton being ex-
ceeded only by that of Great Britain.
England consumed during the twelve
months ending October /, 1876, 1,27e,-
287, 900 lbs. Of cotton while the United
States consumption last cotton year
was GA ,G38, 600 lbs, or 50 per cent that
of England.
The present total annual consumption
| OF raw cotton in Europe and the United
States Is 1910, 035, 900 lbs, or equal to
6,191, 564 American bales Of 40 lbs. OF
this aggregate England manufactures
1876 per cent and the United States %. 2
per cent, or the two countries combined
66 per cent, and the remaining ten ma
tons 1872 per cent. The consumption Of
this country Is nearly equal to that
Germany, France, Russia and Austria
combined. It would seem that, occupy
ing such an important rank among the
cotton manufacturing countries, the
United States should develop q
much greater ability to supply
the wants of the manufacturing
ountries than we have hitherto at
tanned. More than one-half OF Eng
lands consumption is re-exported in the
shape of goods; while of our own CON
sumption not more than seven per cent
is for export. There Is no real reason
why considerable portion of England's
export manufacture should not fall into
our hands. The main obstacle to our
getting it lies in a tariff system which
artiicially enhances the cost of every
element that contributes to the produc-
ton of goods; and when the cotton
manufacturers see their way for uniting
for the abrogation Of protection, So
called, they will have taken long step
towards the realization of this great OBJ
ject of their am bition.

THE TURKS BETTER ARMED THAN
THE RUSSIANS.
[London Tines. |

VIENNA, Sept. 3.-There is one point
to which a certain amount of import
ance must be attached, though it is
easy and common to make too much of
it-namely, the arms employed by the
two combatants. In this respect the
Turks have decided advantage. Their
Krupp guns are superior in material, in
range, and in accuracy to those Of the
Russians, but q far more important
question is, how do they use them ? So
far as have seen, the aim OF the Turks
has been bad and that of the Russians
fairly good, but much may yet be done
on either side to improve the shooting.
A course at Hythe would do wonders for
both armies, and 1t is worth remember
ing that q great many Of the men now
being brought up to supply losses In
the Russian ranks had hardly any prac-
tice at all with their weapons. The
Berdan rifle, which is the only arm up
to the average Of European require
ments. has been supplied to but few
Of the Russian infantry, whose usual
weapon, the Krinka, is decidedly in
ferior to the Peabody Martini supplied
to the Turks from the United States; but
on the whole the better shooting of the
Russians more than balances the differ
ence In armament. Any addition to
tactical skill on either side would put
the difference In actual shooting out OF
the question.

The marked decline of 1Os,OOOOOO pounds
in the importation of East Indian cotton into

POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS.
[Oincinnati Enquirer. I

WARRINGTON, Sept. 18.-Civil service
reform received q new wrench to-day.
In the absence from the town of Carl
6churz, two gentlemen from Ohio made
descent upon the Interior Department,
and went about soliciting contributions
to help along the Republican campaign
In Ohio. The gentlemen aforesaid re-
presented that contributions were to be
wholly voluntary; but some OF the
mulcted clerks say they somehow re-
Ceived the impression that 1t was to be
Athe old story, "pay or get" and 30 they
N i'd. Coming so close on the heels OF
Naerman's significant hint that Ohio
clerks In his department could get away
long enough to vote, this revival Of the
old contribution dodge has a suspicious
look. It Is certainly at variance with
Hchurz's recent manifesto on the sub
ject OF election duties, and considerable
interest is manifested here to know
what Schurz Is going to do about it.
From the description Of the two seekers
after campaign money one Is believed
to be ex-Speaker Grosvenor, Of Ohio,
who arrived here last night.

A Report Made to Please Hayes ana Not
to DispIease Cameron.
fOincinnati Enquirer. /


WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-There Is a
good deal Of quiet laughing here over
| the ludicrous way in which the Phila-
delphia Custom House Commission, in
its report, has stultified itself In its zeal
to please Hayes and not displease Cam
erOn. After recountiDg that all OF the
principal customs officers neglect the
government business and attend to pri-
vate interests of their own; after assert
ing that politics govern the appoint
ments, and that many idle men are en-
ployed; after asserting the following
fragrant violations Of law, to wit "Dep-
uty Surveyor Charles Redheffer, while
experimenting the discharge of steam
ships from foreign ports, has author
lied cases OF wines and spirituous and
fermented liquors to be landed without
permit and the payment Of duty; Depu-
ty Surveyor Hiram p. Goodrich has done
likewise; the articles 30 landed were
sometimes for the benefit Of some Off
Ger or agent OF the steamship company,
and sometimes for the benefit OF the
said and other revenue officers and their
friends, being usually obtained as gifts
or gratuities from the officers or agents
of the companies. The said deputies,
together with the Surveyor, e. O. Good
rich, have each received some OF the ar
ticles 80 landed, knowing, or having
reason to know, that the same had been
landed without permit and payment Of
duty. The naval officer has received
articlp5 80 landed on one or two occa-
sicns, but states that he did not know
from whom they came nor OF their I'M
lawful importation. After rehearsing
page after page Of these and similar
malfeasances In the Philadelphia Gus
tom House, the commission concluded
by saying as follows: "We take pleas
ure in reporting our conviction that, on
the whole, the condition of the service
at the present time Is reasonably salts
factory; that it Is conducted to the gen.
eral appreciation of the business COM
munity; that corruption is apparently
unknown" From this finding of the
Philadelphia Commission it is evident
that they meant to avoid the error Of
the Jay Commission on the New York
Custom House, which incurred John
Sherman's displeasure by recommend
ing wholesale dismissals when 1t found
similar state Of affairs in the New
York Custom-H House.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Congress con-
venes four weeks from tomorrow. The
Capitol building was never in better con-
dition for the reception Of the two
houses. Both of the new chambers and
the old hall-now known as Statuary
Hall-have been put in perfect order.
The rotunda has been also cleansed and
repainted from the floor to the top of
the canopy, distance Of 1873 feet, and is
Respondent in It's new colors. The new
ventilating and heating apparatus of the
House hall was In working order yester-
day for the first time. and has proved
was introduced by Edward Clark, arch
itect of the Capitol, in accordance with
the report of the board of United States
officers convened by the request of the
committee on public buildings in the
last House. and for which an appropria-
ton of $33, 600 was made. The fresh air
is now taken direct from the grounds Of
the Capitol through the terrace, and is
tempered by the warm air in winter
from the hot water coils, while in sum-
mer It Is thrown into the building direct
from the grounds. 4 series OF yentila-
tors have taken the place Of some orna-
mental pendants In the ceiling to carry
off the foul air. There Is every reason
to believe that the new system will be
largely conducive to the health and
comfort of the members as we'll as to
those who occupy the galleries. The
spacious lobby in the rear of the Speak
er's chair Is hereafter to be used exclu-
sively for those who are entitled to the
privileges Of the floor Of the House while
In session, and the Speakers parlor
Is also to be reserved for the
Speaker and no longer to be recep-
ton room for female lobbyists and fe-
male applicants for clerkships. It's
abuse as reception room heretofore
has been, to put it mildly, simply scan
dalous. The old reception room for la
dies, used latterly by the Record report
ers, Is to be restored to its former pur-
pose, and the official reporters are to
occupy hereafter the room used in the
last session by the late Mr.. Kerr and by
Mr.. Randall, adjacent to the Speakers
parlor, as private office for the Speak
er, which was the old room for the Com
mittee on Postoffices, and, from its loca-
| ton as the only committee room in the
Speakers corridor, the headquarters Of
the postoffice and railroad lobby under
Republican rule. The Clerk Of the
House has also introduced some i'm
provements in his office, which were
much needed. The file room has been
extended, and the facilities of the dis
bursting room enlarged.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA well-known
New York political striker Is here max
ing arrangements for Cox's campaign
for the Speakership. He says that Cox s
friends intend to come on about the 5th
Of next month. He speaks very en-.
Enthusiastically Of Cox's strength in the
South, and says that Sunset will as.
tonish everybody by his strength on the
first ballot. but while he believes that
Cox will get q great deal of strength
from the South, he yet fears that it will
Cox, according to him, is very popular
tend to give him large vote for COM
plimentary purposes. Sans city, he
says, has been rather against him in the
canvass. He states, as fact, however
that the New York delegation with its
sixteen votes, with one exception, is fol
Cox. This exception is Fernando Wood
who will support Mr.. Randall with the
understanding that if the latter is
successful Mr.. Wood shall be made
chairman of the Committee of Ways
and Means. Mr.. Cox's friend thinks
that the votes Of the New York delega.
ton will be able to control the nomina.
ton, particularly il the contest is close
between the leading candidates. The
votes Of the New York delegation will
stand by Mr.. Cox throughout the con-
test. Cox's avant-courier says Ran
dali is not going to have any walk over
this time. He has got the inside in
some way. He has the House machine
ry with him and the old chairmen who
want to keep their places. / think that
both Cox and Sayler have in the last
two weeks gained more than Mr.. Ran
dali. Sayler in particular is picking up
strength very fast. Stories have been
circulated about Sayier by a fast man
about town, but between you and me
that hasn't hurt him much. So long as
