Special dispatches from Blooming
ton, Illinois, give particulars Of the
Iynchisg of Charles Pierce. the i'm,
prisoned horse thief who shot ami
killed Jailer Frank while the latter
was conveying him from one cell to
another 10 the Jail. The dispatches
say that some Of the best ci,ixens
were in the front ranks Of the ly nch.
ers. Leading business men cheered
and encouraged the lyDchers, and
women waved their handkerchiefs
in appreciation. For two hours the
Sheriff, with all his force, the police
force aud other officials, stood at the
iail door and fought and pleaded
with the Infatuated crowd. When
the murderer was raised the 6rst
time, officer Bailey, of the police
force, imperiled his life By breaking
through the crowd aud cutting the
rope, letting the body fall. Upon
attempting to repeat this act of bra
very he came near being killed.
The officers called out the FIRE de-
par.m emit to quell the riot by throws
ine water on the crowd. When a
steam engine arrived on the ground,
cries of "Cnt the hose" convinced
the firemen that it would not do tn
undertake to carry out their instruc-
,ions, add they retired. The ring
| ing of the FIRE bells called hundreds
more to the scene and added to the
excitement. When lynchiog was
imminent, dispatches passed between
Governor Cullum and Lieutenant
Governor Hamilton, and the latter
was directed by the Governor to tell
the Sheriff to call on the militia to
protect life aud property, but it was
known that the militia could not be
assembled. Senator Fifer, formerly

grover, is unfortunate this year, his

sacks. This would satisfy most farm

but when the further facts are mem
toned that he will have to keep 3d.
600 sacks merely for seed for next
year, aud that his last crop before
this was 100000 sacks, it is evident
that the year is likely to prove a

SPEECH OF SENATOR VOORHEES,.

Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana, de-
livered a great speech on the open
ing of the Atlanta Exposition, on
Wednesday of last week, in which
there is a great deal Of valuable in
formation concerning cotton culture
and manufacture. We have room
only for the following paragraphs:
"Sir, it is less than hundred
wears since American cotton made
its modest and, indeed, humble en~
trance into the markets of the world.
There are persona now living who
were born before merchants and tra
ders had mentioned cotton as a pro.
duction of this country likely to en-
ter into commercial transactions. 10
1892 not more than $50 bales we're
ex ported from the United States. So
little was known of this gigantic pro
duction that 1t is related that in
l7G4 VIM. RAthbone. a great Amer
lean merchant in Liverpool, received
from one of his correspondents in the
Southern States q consignment of
eight bags of cotton, which, 90 it's
arrival 10 Liverpool, was seized by
the custom house officers, on the al
leg alton that it could not have been
grown in the American colonies, and
that it was liable to seizure under
the shipping acts as not being i'm
ported 10 a vessel belonging to the
country of its growth. When after
ward released it lay for months un-
sold in consequence of the spinners
doubling whether it could be profit-
ably worked up The world was
unconscious of the mighty revolution
10 all its industries just then impend
ing. Until within the present cen"
tury the supply of cotton for the use
of mankind was derived mainly..frOm
the East Indies, with minor quaint
ties from China, Egypt, and few
other unreliable sources. ln lndjs
its growth has been FROM time inn
memorial, and for five centuries al
least before the Christian Ella it wsi
manufactured extensively by the in
habitants of that country for their
own use. They have made no adj
vancement, however. either in the
cultivation or manufacture Of this
great vegetable product. The light
of more than :, 900 years Of history
10 thrown upoe ;hem, and by that
light we behold them standing sEiIi,
fixed in the primitive methods OF
their ignorant ancestors, needless OF
the advantages of soil, climate aHd
all the powerful elsments Of nature,
making no progress themselves and
contributing nothing to the wants OF
other countries.
