Mr.. Eiitor-The Committee OF Arrangements
for the late PapnI demonstration feel that they
ought not to close their duties without express
Ing their indebtedness for the cordial co-opera-
ton on that occasion Of representatives from the
army and navy. In doing so they find them-
selves unable to express their sentiments more
appropriately than In the language Of the fol-
lowing quotation. It Is extracted from u letter
received by Col. 9. t. Glrardey, Grand Marshal
OF the procession. and written by gentleman
thoroughly identified with our population in oil
respect whose name. from motives Of dellcaey,
Is suppressed:
1T seems to mo that there must have been Joy
among tho angels in Heaven on Witnessing tn
uncorstrained and hearty differentiation boz
tween our population and our dear brethren Of
tho United States army and navy Ali | can
not describe to you tho emotion experienced
on behoding the United States troops and sail
ors pass In procession Their bearing towards
our people was such thnt only love could pre-
dominate in their rsgardl know That YOU as u
military man. would have liked to sec them out
under arms but must aay ehndidly, Ms have
told you before, that think the decision In this
regard was reasonable and certainly prudent.
We have reason to rejoice TINT the commanding
General and other respected superior officers,
who are Professionals. were 50 exceedingly kind
and delicate on this OCCASION.
AS regards Catholic officers, who participated
1t would be superfinous to thank them. since
they wore equally with ourselves debtors for
whatever could contribute to tho eclat Of the dis
play.
"In truth your military affections delight in
military display. but in my humble view think
Providence arranged matters Just as they should
have been carried out. The soldiers and sailors
appeared voluntarily and lovingly In our pros
eession toshow to the world that we had captured
their hearts, and they needed only their natural
arms wherewith TO embrace us, and through us
the common father of all Chrstendom.
Indeed my dear Mr.. Girardey. our demon
ton will give evidence that hereafter we will all,
everywhere In this country, be n loving and
united people and so far as our own country Is
concerned there will be no necessity for carry.

In behalf Of the committee:

that treaties will be observed and that
the question of the Bosphorus and
Dardanelles will DO settled ut the end
OF the war by an European congress.
Beyond these points no engagement
has been undertaken. The assertion
that Russia will confine herself at the
conclusion of peace, to apply the reso-
lutions adopted by the late conference,
Is therefore incorrect.
A Berlin dispatch says; Encouraged

connected with the institution into

been revived, and they are to-day

victs have all been supplied with new

Per Cent over Inst Year.
WASHINGTON, June 10. MIR. Dodge
reports, as the result of an oificia
canvass OF the area in cotton this year
an increase OF four per cent, upon Tia,
acreage OF 1876, giving the total In ex
cess OF twelve million acres. Nortl
Carolina declines four and South Caro-
lima three per cent; Georgia and Flor
ida increased each one per cent; Ala
bama and Tennessee two; Mississippi
four Arkansas five; Louisiana seven
and Texas fifteen. The states of thu
largest areas are respectively Missis
sippi, Texas, Alabama and Georgia
Condition il lower than In the past
two years in June, but higher than in
1874. The state averages OF condition
are as follows: North Carolina eighty
two; South Carolina ninety-one; Geor"
gia eighty-nine; Florida ninety.twoi
Alabama ninety; Mississippi ninety
one; Louisiana ninety'eight; Texas
ninety-one; Arkansas ninety-four;
Tennessee ninety.six. There were sew
eral frosts in May in North and South
Carolina, and snow as late as the 10th
In some regions, little rains during the
month in others. The weather has
been unfavOrable since replanting
the cut-worm has been destructive.
There is much complaint in Georgia,
OF the poor stand, caused by the cool
weather; cut.worms, crlckets, grass
hoppers and aphides. Some instances
OF replanting and planting OF other
crops have occurred. There Is some
complaint OF non-germination In Ala
bama and Mississippi, which Is less
than on the Atlantic coast. Plants are
backward: and aphides troublesome;
the crop il two weeks late In the GEN.
trail and north sections, but Is In good
condition In more southern counties.
In Louisiana, termination has been
prompt, growth is vigorous and Gull
ture better than usual. Cold nights
injured early planted areas rains Is
needed In some locations. In Texas,
planting Is from two to four weeks late
from cool nights. Rains and
hail storms instead of dr0uth
and from destruction by grasshoppers
and cut-worms, and second planting
has been attacked, and In some cases
cases third planting has been made
with a prospect of a fine crop. The
plants are OF irregular size, generally
small, but healthy and promising,
with exceptional areas irequented by
rust aud lice.
In Arkansas cool nights and rains
necessitated replanting, and drought
has since prevented vigorous growth.
In some counties stands are good.
Fields are generally cleaner than usual
Similar meteorological conditions
have been encountered In Tennessee,
but the plants, though small, are
healthy, ard clean culture prevails
The season has been too cool for cot.
