It cannot be said that the negroes Of the
Southern States are unwilling to work, for
unquestionably tits they who perform the
field labor there, and the cotton crop of
1878, emulating the giagantic result shown
by the cereals Of the North, is greater than
in any previous year. The aggregate Of
bales reached the grand total OF s, 1000,
an enormous increase over the average Of
the years since the war, and q great deal
more than in any one year before that
time. The crop marketed in 1s5o6O was
estimated at 1881, ,es2 bales, but the war
then began, and in 1860 the product
was but ., ,2Gs, ,Sls bales, a decrease Of more
than half. From that low.water mark the
figures have slowly, but steadily risen to
the present maximum. Moreover, while
the acreage has been somewhat extended,
the cultivation has been more thorough,
? for the lyieldEper acre has risengfroa an
average of about $50 pounds last year to
lgl the present season. This is q fair
showing for Southern labor. =

wakes warm. The President remarked to.
dayt that he wouldsendin the name Thurs;

ed, ,lbut the delay isrbelieyed TO be for the
purpose ot giving alI sides 4 hearing. OF
the four candidates, It Is now thought that
Foos OF Columbus, and Milford, OF Butler
county, the latter backed by Mills Gardnei
and Judge Taft, have no chance. The con!
test is between DR.. Thrall and C. L. Poor,
man. Colonel P9orman has Assurance
from the White House that he willibe ap.
pointed unless Thrill is given q third
term. Next TO Poornian ullety has the
strongest backing. The Western Penn
sylyania Republicans are taking Jhand in
the matter, and have given Po9rman
warm Endorsement. They feel indebted

Mr.. Hoey, manager OF the Adams Ex-
press Company; states that the classifca-
tion Of packages, which is now exceeding
" low on account OF the competition ofthe
postoffice, will remain the same under the
new tariff, and the time made to the West
will not be changed. He said the express
companies had made representations to
the railroad companies over which they
operated their lines, that II was the
cutting in freight rates which caused
general complaint about express charges.
A satisfactory arrangement was then made
between the railroad and express COM
panies, by which the public were to re-
ceive the benefit of the reductions made.

ITALY.

RoxE, December l4.-Tn Italy the situa.
ton is considered to be extremely critical.
A peculiar feature Of the situationis that
even various statesmen Of the same politi-
cal groups do not appear 10 place any con-
fidence in each other, and that the forma.
ton ofca homogeneous Cabinet seems al
most impossible. The resignation Of the
Ministry Is not by any means, unexpected,
but signor Carroll, whose wounds still
cause him some annoyance, does not feel
confident of his ability to gather around
him Ministry with whom he can work,
and who will command majority in the
Chambers.
3: AZ the Vatican 1t is said the embarrass-
ment OF the Government is regarded with
keen interest. II Is believed that II q gen
eral election were now to be ordered, and
the Catholics changed their policy Of abb
stention for one Of active participation in
the contest, the new Chambers would con-
tain very large Conservative and Catho-
lie majority. 20 l-'1.'
