New YORK, Sept. 10.
The World this morning has a long
story exclusively giving the details OF
the confession of ex-Treasurer Parker,
of South Carolina. That officer de
! clares that Chamberlain, Patterson aud
! others were guilty of the grossest
frauds. The Legislature were bribed
and the entire Government entered
upon o relgn of unparalleled conscrip-
ton. Even the worst de velopments OF
the Tweed ring in New York are cast
in the shade by the South Carolina
plunderers.
A special from San Antonio, Texas,
saws l 800 regular Mexican troops are
about to embark in the steamship City
of Mexico from Vera Cruz to the
mouth Of the Rio Grande for service
on the Rio Grande frontier to replace
the local military. These troops will
probably he commanded by General
Gonzales. The object Of the expedi-
ton is to place a reliable military force
on the line of the Rio Grande, the 10
cal authorities being so independent of
Federal control and bitterly hostile TO
Americans hat they a not be used
by President Diaz and his subalterns
to enforce the terms of the extradition
treaty bet the United States and
Mexico.
The Cotton Crop In she south.
NEW ORLEANS, Sc pit. 8.
The Cotton Exchange has cotton re-
ports for August from 81 parishes. Re-
ports OF the weather are less favorable
than last year. The condition varies
with the locality. The river parishes
are decidedly better, while the interior
are not SO coed. Worms appeared in
nearly every parish aud were %increas-
ing rapidly. Injury by shedding is
veV serious and generally complained
of. Reports from 80 counties in Mis-
sissippi compare favorably with last
wear, but worms have appeared and
fears are entertained of their doing con-
siderable damage. Reports from -
counties in Arkansas, state that the
weather is less favorable. Plants are
we'll fruited, but there are general com
plants of drouth, with heavy she'd
ding and rust. The present condition
Of the crops is about the same as last
year. No damage from worms.
