The Senate Secretaryship,


WASHINGTON. Oct, 16.-Ex-Sena
tor Wallace, who is here en- route tt

candidacy Of Wolfe. for treasurer
in Pennsylvania, is arousing gen.
eral interest in the canvass, and
makes the result doubtful. Wal

bly, draw votes enough from the re.
publicans to elect the democratic
candidate.

nations Of Gorham and Riddle

alarms OF the senate. The repub
licans believe they could elect q
secretary acceptable to Davis, of
Illinois, but they must get Gorham
out of the way first. Malone re-
fuses to accept any other candidate
except Gorham, and he has said
that if the republicans do not make
an effort to elect Gorham and Rid
dIeberger he would submit a reso-
luton to this effect. He will hard
ly do this. however, as the resolu-
ton would undoubtedly be defeated
The majority of the democrats IA

Gratis insist upon an election. 1t is
likely that a democratic caucus will
be called on this question and the
result would he to direct the intro
duction of the resolution to appoint
Shober as acting secretary. Presi-
dent Davis Of the senate, is willing
to vote for the Shober resolution
and as the republicans believe they
cannot elect Gorham they would
not oppose it.

it seated what was known as the

against the party. After so many

He is never recognized. It is time

From the Globe Democrat, of ST.
Louis, of October 9th, we clip the
following as being the estimate OF
Col. Hudson. of our State, of the
cotton crop. When we remem Der
that Bradstreet's estimate of II per
cent. less than the last crop was
considered by all well informed men
as full estimate, we are not sur
prised at the estimate Of Col. Hud-
son, since the weather has not been
favorable since the first estimate.
At all events the efforts are being
made tosdepress prices, to the great
injury of cotton planters, and we
are glad to know that Col. Hudson,
in very extensive correspondence
to get up the Farmers Congress at
St. Louis, has used every effort to
find the probable cror, SO that the
farmers would not be swindled out
of their labor.
Mr.. T. J. Hudson, Of Lamar,
Miss, gives a most discouraging re
port of the crops in his section in
the South. He is here in the inter-
est of a better organization of far
mers throughout the country. He
says that the manner In which
crop reports have been manufactur-
ed and colored the past year or two
for speculative purposes affords the
very best argument for the agricul-
tural congress he desires to see
formed, with representative from
every Congressional district in the
country. and a perfect system of
getting statistics at frequent inter
yals.
Speaking of the crops in the
South, Mr.. Hudson said, "The
corn planted early and the cotton on
the lowlard is tolela',ly good in the
Holly Springs section OF Mississip.
pi; that is to say, think we will
have half crop. On the upland I
don't think the cotton will yield
better than q bale. to eight or ten
acres. That was the biggest cotton
growing parish or county in the
world before the war. Throughout
the whole of the State the condition
is dreadful. IN some places the
cotton is worse.off than in the Hol-
~ Springs country. In the central
portion OF the State the crop is real
" burned up. In Tennessee, around
Jackson, The cotton will hardly be
worth picking. The crop is very
short. 1 put the yield at not over

Col. Cole, secures the Louis

CHATTANOOGA, Oet. Is. - The
startling rumor was atioat in At
lanta Friday that Col. Cole had
formed connection with the Louis
vile and Nashville system to use
their tracks in Georgia, and that
work on the Macon and Rome ex-
tensions to Atlanta, on which about
5000 are now employed, would be
stopped, and the city was agog with
excitement. Col. Cole arrived in
the city to-day from Memphis and
was at once questioned as to the
rumor by your correspondents. He
knew nothing of it, but at once tel
egraphed to the New York directors
for information, and ascertained
that the report was entirely untrue.
1t probably arose out Of the fact
that he leased, last week, for ten
years, the use Of the Louisville and
Nashville line from Calera, Ala, to
New Orleans.

that Gen. Jubal A. Early had chal

that the latter had accepted this
challenge. Senator Malone was
conveyed to the residence Of Judge

the latter was too old and feeble,
and adding that all their differen
ces had been harmonized. Senator
