ing the election of U. s. Senator to sue

Davis it is said courted the rum influence
with a manifested disregard of the temper

punish him and the leaders who had thus
turned to them the cold shoulder. Neal

Mr.. Joshua Nye, OF this city, who was
the candidate of the Enforced Prohibition

satisfied with the result attained by the or

labOred, he said, to defeat Governor Davi.

have succeeded. When we adjourned ou

the party in this State for fifteen years, be

THE ORIGINAL UNIVERSITY SINGERS OF
New ORLEANs.-These famous Jubilee Sing.
ers in charge of DR.. Goldman, President of
New Orleans University, will give one of
their grand concerts here on next Friday
evening at the Town Hall. The Long
Branch NcwS says: An audience which,
when measured by the forbidding weather,
may be called large one, gathered at the
Ocean Hotel last evening to listen to the
University Singers of New Orleans. Among
the many pleasing entertainments that the
Ocean has afforded the amusement going
public this season, few have equaled and
none have surpassed that of last evening
The singers compose double quartette of
full, rich, sympathetic and well-balanced
voices. The great compass Of the bassos
and the sweetness and power Of the So
pranos were marked features. The selec-
tions offered great variety, from genuine
plantation melodies in real "Ole Virginy''
style, to choice selections from modern
composers, rendered with much artistic
merit. "Roll an Rock dem in His Arms, "
Angels meet me at the Cross. Roads, u
"De Ole Ark's a aIMovin'," were genuine
negro melodies, which delighted all, while
"Steal Away Home to Jesus" and Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot" were rendered with
sweet expressiveness and touching pathos
peculiar to the voice of colored people. In
a word, the troupe was pronounced by all
as the best to which they have ever listened,
and Ocean Hotel has scored one more vic
| tory.

NEWARK RAcING.-The racing at Home
wood Park, last Saturday, as predicted, was
very interesting, it taking four heats to
decide two of the races. James Wilson,
of Newark, won the four minute race with
the brown stallion, Napoleon; II. Morrison,
OF Christiana, won the three minute race
with the bay stallion Honest Fred, and
Reckless, owned by Oliver Clemson, of
Elkton, succeeded in winning the $50 race
after severe struggle with Blind Tom.
The New CASTLE DEDIcATIoX.-The dedi.
cation of the Masonic Temple at New
Castle, on Monday, was the biggest thing
ever witnessed in that city. Even before
dawn the influx began, and from that time
increased hourly until, at noon, it was esti.
mated that there were at least eight thous.
and people in town.
70 this multitude there were added boat
loads from Philadelphia, Camden, Salem
and other points along the river. The
scene along the wharves as the crowd dis
embarked was enlivcning in the extreme.
The blowing Of whistles as the steamers
arrived; the marching to and fro Of lodges
and commanderies; the hurried tones Of
command, intermingled with the confused
murmuring of many voices and sound of
music from the score OF bands scattered
over the city, all tended to an effect which,
to the New Castle mind, will not soon be
forgotten.
Wilmington furnished its share to the
success of the affair, and beyond other
things succeeded admirably in adding to
the din so essentially necessary to occasions
|. OF this character.
The houses were decorated handsomely
and the symbols of the Orders differing in
size hung about the city. The new hall,
tapestried from tower to cellar with a pro
| fusion of bright colors, was the chief object
of attraction.
The cars brought 5000 men and the boats
1000 There were about 400 men in the
procession the regalias making handsome
show At noon the dedication commenced
the ceremonies lasting about so minutes
The orator of the day was Rev. J. II. Cald
well, d. d., of Wilmington.

THE COTTON CRGP.

The cotton crop Of 1879. thus far the largest
eve, grown amounts to 5,7j1,397 bales, &C
cordng 20 The Financial GhrORic'e wi ch is
usually accepted as the authority on that
matter. It's annual review. which appears this
week. differs less than 5000 bales this year
from ,he official statement OF the National Cot
ton Exchange, which reports n crop of $50, l61
bales. In any case, the crop was much the
largest ever produced i'll this country, for, even
after making allowance for Southern consump-
ton not then reported, the largest crop before
the war was less than 5000, 900 balcs, and the
only other crop exceeding that quantity was
that OF 1878, VIZ, 5,O73,531 bales This year,
too, the quantity taken both by Northern and
Southern mills has been larger than ever;
1G24, S0j bales by Northern and 179, 900 bales
by Southern spinncrs. IT is estimated by The
Chronicle that the consumption in this country
reached 1760 900 bales, and the calculations
of that journal Indicate that the profit of man
ufacturers during the year has been about /
cent on PRINT cloths, and about 1.63 cents on
standard sheetings per yard. The advance III
price however, though beneficial to the
manufacturer Respects the goods sold in this
country, has apparently checked the exports of
cotton goods, for the reported exports foI the
wear ending June 80 amounted to l06,579, 1913
yards, against 129, 1887 yards for the pre-
ceding year.
The exports Of raw cotton, however, have
been exceedingly large, notwithstanding the
advanced price mt which a large part of the crop
was marketed. In December, 1878. low mid
ding uplands sold at S7S cents per pound and
a large part of that crop was sold at prices
ranging below 10 cents. but the price was
above ~ c0nts from December /, 1879 until
the middle of April, 1880, when great part
of the crop had been sold, and did not drop
below IL cents until the latter part of July
Yet the quantity exported from the crop of
1879. according to The Chronicle, was 3, S6j 621
bales. against 3,467, 56j bales for the year pre-
cedine-an increase of nearly 400, 600 bales or
ia per cent. The increase in domestic con-
sumption, az estimated, was only 13J,000
bales, or S.3 per cent, but the increase in guam
tity taken by American mills was over II per
cent. 1t is possible that the estimates of con-
sumption are too low. The value of the crop
reported was about $4,000, 000-a sum
which has been largely exceeded when
mailer quantity was marketed mt higher
price TIE value Of wheat and flour exported
during the yeaI was 1925, s79 SOP, so that
cotton is no longer king, though it contributes
very lal gely to the national wealth.
Another item of interest in the annual report
concerns the route by which cotton Ii moved.
Five years ago, only 46l, 75l bales were moved
overland by rail. or about One-eighth of the
