COTTON AMI TOBACCO.
Low Prices 0ccasiOned by ~Oyerproduc-
tlOn---Figures from the AgriCul.
tural Report.

The Agricultural Report just issued,
in giving the prices of the cotton crop,
says I'VE are guided by the prices
received by the planter, which have
ruled excessively low this winter. the
average for the whole country being
about 81 cents per pound. The great
value of the crop is founded on the
demand fer export. Prior to the war
in 1850 and 1860. the amount imported
into Great Britain from the United
States was four-ffths of the whole
importation. During the war it fell
off to less than = per cent. Starting
IN 1866 at 81 per cent, we find that in
1878 We had regained the position we
held prior to 1861, and that four-fths
of the cotton used and manufactured
in Great Britain came from the United
States. The proportion of u total
crop exported to foreign ports
was 3,340,OO0 bales out of a crop
Of 100000 during the year ending
September l, 1878. The production
of this great staple seems to be too
large, and the result is shown in the
glutted markets and low prices. the
larger crop of 1878 being worth less
than that of the preceding year.
Baslng the calculation on the prices
returned by the producer. we find the
value of the crop of 1878 to be 1884,
100000, and for 1877 500 ono 0O0
while the number of bales was 4.75O-
900 in 1877, and 100000 for 1878.
The price of tobacco is reported as
very low this year, being for the whole
country an average of Sc cents per
pound on December l., 1873. This
price is mainly the result of an over
stock of poor tobacco last year. We
have no accurate data of the Yield per
acre or the product of 1871
The total amount exported and man
ufactured was a little above 4S3. 0OO.O 900
pounds. Allowing 6 per cent. for that
used at home and that which evaded
the tax, we have a crop for 1877 of
about 4OO,0O0,0O0 pounds. The aver
age for 1873 was seventy-six per cent.
OF 1877. The quality of tobacco pro-
duced was generally better and heavier.
making the yield per acre rather more
than that of the previous year, except
in Kentucky, where it fell off slightly.
We estimate the total crop at 1872. 600
900 pounds, worth $50, 200, against
100000 900 pounds last year.

A NATIONAL QUARANTINE,
Objections to It That Occur to an Expert
Of the New York Service.

New York World
DR.. Vanderpool, health officer of
the port, was asked, yesterday, by a
reporter of the World for his opinion
as to the proposed establishment BY
the government of a national auaran-
tine. DR.. Vanderpool said he had
been frequently appealed to to take
part in the discussion of the matter at
Washington, but had declined to do
SO, as it might be said that he was
personally interested in maintaining
the State quarantine. This reason
was sufficient also to prevent him from
expressing his views in any public
manner. lie believed, however. that
a national quarantine was wrong in
principle. From the beginning health
and police regulations have always been
conceded to individual States. Under
such regulations at this port commerce
has grown up until now the port of
New York hasalmosta monopoly of the
tropical trade during the summer
months. 1t is not fair that New York
should suffer on account Of imperfect
and irregular guarantees at Southern
ports. A national quarantine would
be wrong in principle for another rea-
son. 1t would be another one of the
movements to create a central ire
spOnsible bureau at Washington
which would not be able to Judge the
case of each port on its merits, as
should be done. So far from being a
facility to commerce, it would be an
impeachment, for in the nature of things
the further the head of the bureau
would be removed from the seat eff
trouble the less opportunity there
would be to redress a grievance. An
illustration of this fact is seen in the
abuses of the custom house.
There has never been a request
coming from this port for a change in
the control of quarantine. On the
contrary, all persons interested are
satisfied with it as it exists at present.
The proposed change would not in any
way lessen the expenses of quaran-
tine, for the tax would still remain on
vessels. New York State has now in
its equipment and appointments the
most perfect quarantine in the world.
At the present time, with the excep-
ton of keeping the property in repair,
it entails no expense upon the State.
Quarantine is necessarily a local SAM
tary measure, and there must be, con
%sequently, perfect harmony between
its management and the local health
board. If quarantine we're national
there would be Immediately a conflict
of jurisdiction. If the national quar-
antine should prove to be imperfect
the local health board would feel
called upon to use its restrictions and
there would be a want of harmony.
These are the principal objections, DR..
FanderpOol said, against a national
quarantine.

Sequel to a Marriage Notice Published
in Wabash, Ind.

The following item appeared in the
Wabash (Ind.) Courier Of week before
last; Mr.. l.. p. Elliott, aud Miss
Tennie Lee, both of Xenia. Grant
county, this State, were married in
this city the l4th inst. Relatives and
friends who saw the above marveled
at it, cognizant of the marital doings
of the pair. The item was sent by
mail from Marion TO the Courier. and
the sequel to the strange affair has
but recently been made known. Miss
Lee waited upon Prosecuting Attor.
ney Good, Of this city, yesterday. and
tells a curious story. She says that on
the evening Of the Nth ult. she came
to Wabash in company with Elliott
and her cousin, Kansas Lee, and was
drugged by the former; that the next
morning she recovered her Senses and
found herself in a room in the Ire
mont House, this city, occupying a
bed with Elliott; that the latter in
formed her that they had been mar
ried the night before, and that her
cousin affirmed the truth of this and
assured her that it was all right. She
says they returned home that day and
have not since lived as man and wife.
She processes no recollection of the
marriage, and seeing the above item
in the Courier, came over to investi-
gate. No license was procured in
this county, and it was believed the
marriage was a hoax played by Elliott.

winter Governor Porter and the com
mittee ofthe legislature Who visited
this city were favorable to the settle
ment proposed by the b~ondholders.
and the matter would then have been
settled had it not been for a certain
association that had taken upon itself
the province Of public administrator
TOR the settlement of county, State and
city debts. That association had been
sending agents around the country
after the manner of a certain person
who had undertaken to pay off church
debts, and one of them had gone to
Nashville and offered to settle the
State debt at fifty cents on the dollar.
Mr.. Fry denied this. He said that
the funding association alluded to had
never offered TO settle at less than
sixty per cent. He was opposed 10

way to have the matter settled

could not be denied that the move
ment last winter was injured BY a
Mephistopheles in the employ
of the Funding Association. who,
while openly advocating the sixty per
cent, proposition, was secretly advis-
ing the legislature not to give more
than fifty per cent.
DR.. Moran said that some of the
bondholders had employed Charles
O'Conor to examine the question as
to whether the bonds are a lien upon
railroads. His opinion will be
ready in a few days, and the speaker
knew enough of its contents to be
authorized to announce that it will

A National Health Rurenn.

The select committee of the Senate
appointed to investigate the best
means of preventing the introduction
and spread of epidemic diseases in
the United States, submitted their re-
port on Friday, through Senator Har-
ris. The report states that the com
mittee of the two houses in joint ses-
sion, appointed scientific experts to
examine into certain branches of the
subject. After detailing the opera
tons OF the experts and of the sub
committees of the two houses sent to
New Orleans and Memphis, the re-
port says:
From the testimony of eminent
medical men and the conclusions ar
rived at by the board of scientific ex-
perts, the committee strongly incline
to the opinion that neither yellow fever
nor cholera is indigenous to any part of
the United States, and that the great
majority, if not all, of the epidemics
of these diseases have resulted from
Importation. The committee report
and recommend the passage of a bill
which prescribes certain duties to be
observed and performed by all vessels
coming from any foreign port where
any contagious or infectious disease
exists before departure, and inspee-
ton, and, if necessary, disinfection
and detention of vessel, cargo, passen-
gers and crew before entering any port
