The movements of the present
cotton crop show that from Septem-
Der l to November II the receipts
at all our cotton ports were 1857
906 bales, against 1,669,438 last year i;
an excess of 190,5O0 bales the pres
ent year. The exports have been
957 ,6s4 bales, against GIL .659 last year.
Deficiencies continue to be reported
from Mississippi, Arkansas and Tex
as, with smaller receipts than last
year, New Orleans only excepted.
The probabilities remain that the to-
tai crop will be less than 100000
bales, and that it will all be taken
in consequence of increased domes-
tic consumption. The markets in
manufactured cotton have advanced
considerably during the past three
weeks. Within the last month yarns
have advanced two cents; print
cloths and prints are one-half to
three-fourths of cent per yard high
er, but less affected than yarns.
Brown and bleached cottons all
mark an advance of from one-half
to one cent, and heavy sheetings one
to two cents. The market is report
ed active, and many manufacturers
are preparing more complete ma
chinery for their own supply of
yarns. Mixed cotton and woolen
goods are firmer, and most of the
machinery is now running full or
over time.

THE IRISH LAND TROUBLES, AND
WHO ARE REsPONSIBLE.

The English Cabinet is said 10 be
considering the propriety of adopt
ing measures for the creation of a
peasant proprictorship i'll Ireland,
and circumstances such as the Boy
colt business at Galway may drive
them to some kind of conclusion
i'll this direction. Mr.. Gladstone
has for some time admitted that such
a measure as an expedient might be
adopted, but the last Parliament re-
fused TO consider the question, and ii
remains TO be seen whether any con-
cessions will hereafter be granted.
The long-felt dissatisfaction in Ire
land, while it is known that the Irish
people are among the most easily
governed in the world, certainly
demonstrates that there is some good
basis for the troubles now agitated
and sustained by the powerful land
leagues. From the English stand
ard of judgment one would be led
TO believe that Irish rule has been
eminently. fair. Ireland. they con-
tend, has IFS constitutional govern
ment, and yet there has been hard
ly a generation oi lrishmen, under
English rule, in which constitutional
law has not been suspended. and CO.
ercion substituted in all questions
affecting the rights of English land
lords. 1t is noted fact, gathered
from even English sources, that hard
ly any other crime than a.rarian
crime is known in ireland. AMI our
English neighbors ought TO adnii
that a people. whose lands. b, rra-
son alone of conquest, were taken
from them and made subiect-;o
crown, and placed by the crown in
the hands of those who would mai
urally be the oppressors of sub
dued peasantry, have reason to COM
NIT this one crime. They were the
possessors OF Irish soil, from which
nutrimcnt had been gathered for
generations and for ages for peo-
pie, now bereft of this right, EXCEPT
when paying tribute to lordly land
holders, owing allegiance TO. and
sustaining the power that first rob-
bed them of and now holds these
lands as means of enriching land
lords, and of impoverishing those to
whom they once belonged, and who
in return have received nothing in
consideration therefor except harsh
legislation. The history OF the Irish
D ople, in their native Erin, and in
All other countries 10 which they
have fed from home oppression,
shows that they are not = criminal
people. and the reports OF our psni-

a QUESTION FOR COTTON FRO
DUCERs.

DUCERs.
There is much discussion among
cotton producers as TO what should
be done with their surplus cotton
seed. The habit of selling the seed
for use at the oil mills is being very
generally adopted, but the educated
and experienced farmer is contend
ing that the few dollars obtained in
this way causes serious loss to the
producer. Cotton seed are valuable
as feed for cattle and sheep, and
even for hogs when prepared so as
to prevent the lint from being in
hailed into the lungs. AS manure,
cotton seed arc most valuable, and
Texas farmers, who boast of their
rich soils, may just as well learn at
once that these rich soils must be-
come impoverished unless that of
which they are robbed by production
be in some manner returned to them.
The seed of cotton contains most of
the chemical elements required by
plants themselves, viz, phosphate of
lime. potash, soda, phosphoric acid,
and the elements of 10 per cent. of
ammonia and they are by nature a
more valuable combination of
fertilizing ingredients than any
commercial phosphate. a farmer
who parts with his seed COM
mits a great mistake, for he ac-
tually robs his land and sells from
it, at about $12 per ton. this high
grade natural fertilizer, which must
afterwards be replaced by COM
mercial phosphate of inferior grade,
for which he must pay $40 per ton,
if he replace 1t at all. Cotton is
we'll known to be one of the least
exhaustive crops, when only the lint
is taken off and all the stalks, leaves,
pods and seed arc returned to the
soil; but when the seed is also re-
moved it becomes one of the most
exhaustive. 1t is estimated by ag-
ricultural chemists that when only
the lint is taken, four pounds of soil
chemicals are removed with each
bale of cotton; but when the seed is
removed, the loss to the soil is forty
four pounds. The average yield per
acre is about fourteen bushels.
Experienced farmers will admitthat
only by such return is it prac-
ticable TO preserve aud increase the
fertility Of Southern cotton fields.
The continuous application Of four
teen bushels per acre, twelve for ma
nurr and two for planting, keeps up
he yield of the soil fully forty per
cent. higher than it would be if no
such manure seed was applied.
Viewing the South as whole, and
considering new lands yearly
brought in, the practical result is
that our annual cotton crop would
be increased probably oDe-third by
| tlrc use of the seed for manure be-
yond what 1T would bcswithout It.
THIS increase for 1880 would be
about Z.UUV,Uvv puivr,y wvTTH 9IvU,-
CO.. 900; and this large sum of money
is just about what, ii is estimated
the South has realized annually for
the past two years, clear profit, from
the cultivation of cotton. In other
words, ii amounts Just to This: that
among average farmers the profit
from cultivating cotton is dependent
upon their returning the seed 10 the
soil.

chaplains in prisons and legislative
bodies should no longer be recog-

exempt from taxation; that all laws
forcing observance Of one day above

all laws requiring judicial oaths shall
be repealed. The meeting was in

The New York Herald has an ex-
tensive assortment of speculations
upon the composition of Garfield's
cabinet. One is that Mr.. Garfield
will call into his cabinet all the great
party leaders, in imitation of Mr..
Lincoln. Another is that he will re-
tain the present cabinet. The Iri-
bssRe discredits the rumor that David
Davis viii be reappointed a supreme
justice, and his seat in the Senate
filed by Republican. This would
be dieker, the Tribune saws. which
neither President Hayes nor Presi-
dent Garfield could afford 10 be
mixed up with. The Times inter-
viewer of Garfield reports that his
(Garfield's) political ideas arc stall
wart. and he believes in his party
with the hearty faith that is char
acteristic of the constituency that
sent him 10 Congress again and
again. Yet he Is open-eyed to the
right of minorities and the reasona-
bic claims of opponents. The con-
clusion that one arrives at after
hearing him talk is that he means to
give the country safe and careful
government, with the idea sin for
ever in mind that the watchword of
this country is .progress.' and that
there is nothing so enervating as .
stand-still.r

COLUMBUS, November 15.-The
Columbus Buggy Company of this
CITY is one Ofthe largest in this coun-
try, and over 600 voters are employ
ed by its managers. The large ma
jOrity of them are Democrats. The
company sells nearly all of it's work
in the South, and has built up an i'm
mense business, and its managers
have made fortunes.
Before the late election they noti-
fled their employees that if Hancock
was elected they would shut down
the works, while if Garfield was elect
ed they would not only be able to
maintain present prices for labor,
but increase them. Their lawyer
further posted them how to manage
the workmen and still eyade the
statutes. A census was taken of the
voters, and printed lists, with name,
age and residence, were placed at all
the polling-places where any Of them
voted, and under the eye of the Re-
publican ticket-holder and challen-
ger. BY this means not a single one
of them could vote the Democratic
ticket without being detected, and
feeling that detection meant dismis-
sal. nearly or quite 400 Democrats
voted the Republican ticket, and Co
lumbus, instead of giving Demo-
cratic majority, gave Republican
majority, as many other Republican
employers adopted similar methods.
Now the employees of the Buggy
Company have been informed that
they will get 20 per cent. of their
wages in cash and the remainder in
"store orders" The stores, ofcourse
put up the prices on the working
men and make heavy discount to
the company, So that The wages Of
the workingmen will be cut down
from 20 to % per cent, in addition
to being disfranchised at the polls.
The Republicans having obtained
a majority at the late election in the
city are Systematically al work to
secure IL for the futre. The plan is
this: All the wealthy Republicans
and Republican firms are discharg-
ing white Iaborers. where skilled Ia
Dor II not required, and filing their
places with negroes from Kentucky
and the two Yirgiuias. The whites
who are being discharged will be
compelled to 60 elsewhere for en-
ploymeni. and from 500 TO 700 ne
groes will take their places on the
voting lists. The white laborer can
not be depended on TO vote the Re
publican ticket; the negro can. TT 10
colonization is not being carried ON in
Columbus alone, but in a number Of
Democratic cities where q few hun
dred reliable Republican votes will
prevent the election Of Democratic
senator's and representatives in the
legislature next winter. Here in
Ohio colonization ofthe colored peo-
pie of the South is being adopted as
a system and for the purpose ofmak-
ing Ohio sohdly Republican for

JUSTICE has long been delayed in
the United States Senate against
Kellogg, the fraudulent senator from
Louisiana. The seat he occupies
properly belongs TO another. and
the Senate, when it meets in Decem-
Der, should at once proceed to purge
this fraudulent gentleman from that
body. II is an act of justice that
Democratic senators, while they still
have the power to do so, owe TO the
country, to unseat this n,who holds
one of the highest positions in the
land by acts that have been proven
the basest frauds. After March 4.

Iris believed that President Hayes
will recommend in his annual mes
sage that the public debt be refund
ed in bonds bearing three and half
per cent. interest. Many of the New
York bankers and capitalists insist
that a three per cent. bond would
be eagerly taken up, there being
much money lying idle and await
ing investment in bank vaults be-
cause the banks are unwilling to pay
the heavy premium on four per cents.
