DALLAS FEMALE COLLEGE,
The fdihce, an ornament 90 tho city,
Rapidly Approaching Completion,

Ihe kdince, Rn ornament 90 the city,
Rapidly Approaching Completion,
Yesterday afternoon, being In the
neighborhoOd, we went to see the new
building OF the Dallas Female college
now being erected. IL is certainly nm
imposing elegant and substantial
structure, and when completed, will
be an ornament aud doubtless the
pride OF the city. The walls are elgh-
teen Inches Wide, straight 10 the line,
compact and composed. Of the very
best material, without n defect or
blemiah OF any character whatever,
and look as II they will last for ages.
They certainly are sufficiently strong
and substantial In character TO stand
one or more stories than viii DO built
on them, the building only being two
stories high. The foundation IL three
feet deep, and OF solid rock, two and u
half feet wide. Colonel Martin, who
Is experimenting the erection of the
work, and who IL well acquainted with
all Of the buildings in Dallas, oonsid-
ers this the finest and best constructed
one in the city, every article, brick or
wood, used In lts construction being OF
the very best quality, Mr., Berry, the
builder master workman, considers
II one OF the best buildings ~ far as
completed he ever erected, ana is proud
of it, The brick work will be finished
Monday, and IN elegant mansard roof
placed on within the next two. weeks.
1t is the intention to have the main
study hall finished and ready for use
by the 23d of September. Judging
from the work 80 far as II has progress
ed, when finished 1t will be a substan-
tial structure, and this, coupled with
the spacious grounds surrounding, will
make the Dallas Female college an
useful and beautiful ornament TO this
or any other city.

we withdrew with one division to prepare our
revenge. Another division, including corps
commanded by Richid, Omar Kaizim, Nous
sa and Checket Pashas, continues to hold its
positions on Kara Dagh.
He also states his loss at only 800 men,
which is manifestly false; and claims that
one and half regiments of Russian cavalry
and four battalions of their infantry were to-
tally DESTROYED. He attributes his defeat to
the arrival Of reinforcements to the Russians,
nnd their overwhelming force of skillfully-
handled artillery; they being able to place In

The Agricultural Departments Cotton
Report for October.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The cotton report
Tor October Of the statisticians Of the Depart
fnent Of Agriculture, makes the average con-
dition nearly as high as in 1876; it is S11
against S27 last year, and s1s the year before.
The decline In condition during September Is
less this year than last Georgia and Ten
11essee make the same average as in Septem-
ber; North Carolina is higher, and all other
States lower, although Arkansas declines but
per cent The State percentages are as
follows: Alabama SO, Arkansas SO, Florida
SO, Georgia ", Louisiana II, Mississippi 80,
North Carolina 49, South Carolina 70, Tennes-
see 100, and Texas ga.
The weather has been favorable generally
mp to the middle of September, except ON soils
liable to suffer from drouth. In portions of
Arkansas, and In more limited areas In Texas,
heavy rains prevailed in the early part of the
month, and from the sixteenth to the twen-
tieth storm Of great violence swept through
the great cotton belt to the borders of Texas,
doing great damage by beating out the fibre,
rotting bolls, breaking down plants and over
flowing the low lands.

The Louisiana Sena tOrial QHestiOu-Pr0s.
l1ect Good for a PROLONGED l,Antest.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s.-The status of the
Louisiana senatorial question, at adjourn
motion to seat Spofford. Following this, but
taking precedence when a vote Is reached, is
the motion Of Mr.. Mitchell to refer the cre-
dentlals to the Committee ON Privileges and
Elections
Mr.. Edmunds' motion to discharge the
COMMITTEES on Privileges and Elections from
further consideration of Kellogg's credentials
Is separate question.
Should Mitchelfs substitute for Thurman's
motion prevail Spofford's case will go to the
committee; should Edmund's motion prevail
II will bring Kelloggs credentials before the
Senate, while Spofford's are before the COM
mittee.
Should, however. Mitchells substitute be
defeated and Thurman's original resolution
be adopted, the vote will admit Spofford with
out regard to Kellogg's credentials.
Senators seem to be seeking parliamentary
traps for each other, and the contest will be
long.
