LONDON, Oct. 1S.-Lord Carlingford,
liberal, who as Chichester Fortescue
was twice chief secretary for Ireland,
speaking az Ladstock last evening, said
there was no ground for argument be-
tween the government and the people
on one side, and the land league and its
Leaders on the other. The league lead
ers had unhappily chosen to carry the
issue into quite a different field. He
trusted and believed there would be no
armed insurrection in Ireland, and that
no excited men would compel an
armed force to shed blood, but still the
methods of the league were such as
could only be rnet by force in some
shape.

Reliable news, through trustworthy gen
tlemen is at hand to the effect that beyond
any doubt Dallas will now get the East Line
d Red River railroad, already constructed
rom Jefferson to Greenville At recent
meeting Of the directory in Jefferson, the
attorneys of the road were instructed to
prepare an amendment to the charter of the
road TO bring it to this city This gives
Dallas competing line even in the narrow
gauge system, and will contribute largely
toward making Dallas the great railroad
center of the state. The East Line e Red
River railroad is altogether a home enter
prise, having been inaugurated by JetIer-
son capitalists, and, Mr.. Gould having re-
Gently purchased controlling interest in
it. it is but reasonable to suppose that he in
tends to make it available in
furthering his grand southwest
ern system of roads, and to do this of
course it must come to Dallas where evil
IDENTIFY are centering the various railroads
of the state. But a few days ago the Dallas
d Northwestern railroad was chartered to
penetrate the vast Pan Handle region of the
state, and now comes the East Line, which
must have an outlet. So must the Texas &
st. Louis, the Texas Trunk and the Chica-
go, Texas q Mexican Central have outlets
beyond our city, al of which, when COM
pleted, will give Dallas eleven or twelve
roads leading cut from her limits Capital
lists seeing these advantages are beginning
to pour into our city and invest their
means, and in the near future will realize
the rich reward of their toll.

The Cotton md snrnr Urops.

New ORLEANS, November 11.-Special
dispatches to the Democrat from all por-
tons of the cotton counties and from the
sugar districts of Louisiana show the crops
to be in the following condition: In sugar
there was considerable improvement during
the past few weeks, many plantations grind
ing, but the cane is somewhat too green to
grind yet. The yield so far being good,
plant cane yielding as well as last year.
The estimates based on reports from large
number of plantations promise Il yield of
about 1876, 900 hogsheads, Il falling off of four
tenths as compared with last year.
Alabama-Reports show no change in the
condition OF the crop The yield is now es-
timated at so per cent. of that of last wear.
Louisiana-Rain has fallen, but generally
no damage was done except to interfere
with the marketing of the crop. In some
parishes the cotton picked is seriously dam
aged in quality and perhaps in quantity.
About nine-tenths of the cotton is picked.
Labor is scarce, the roads in terrible eondi-
ton and cotton cannot be moved.
Mississippi: About one-lifth of a crop re-
mains unpicked 1t has been raining for a
week, doing some damage to the cotton.
The yield is now estimated at s per cent. as
compared with last year
Tennessee: The weather has been rainy
and very unfavorable for picking. The
yield is now estimated at 30 per cent. Of
that of last year. About four-ninths of a
crop have been marketed, while five-ninths
remain in the hands of farmers and pro-
ducers.
Texas-There has been heavy rainfall,
interfering with picking and damaging the
cotton remaining in the fields. : bout 80
per cent. of the cotton is already picked
About three-fourths of the crop have been
marketed.

CAPT JUNE PEAK.


Captain June Peak, formerly in
command of Il company of rangers
which, did such efficient service on the
northwestern frontier of this state, arrived
in the city yesterday morning direct from
! the City of Mexico, where, for the past year
or so, he has held the responsible position
of superintendent of stock and trains OF the
Mexican Central road, now building
from the City of Mexico to
FL Paso, distance of some
one thousand four hundred miles. One hun
dred and fifty miles of the road is now ope-
rating northwest from the City of Mexico,
which has been built within the past year.
The line is graded to Leon, three hundred
miles out, and the iron will be laid and
trains running to that point by the first of
February, 1882, where it will form juno
ton with its cross-line running from Tam

cifc coast. The length of the line of the
Tampco road is some 600 miles. The Mexi-
can Central and Tampico roads have at
work on their lines the enormous force of
q 600 men, composed of MexicaHs and In
dams, and the work is being superntended
by Americans, who constitute the directing
force. on the roads. The 'laborers Of the
per day and those of the track
laying force fifty cents per day.
Captain Peak stated further, that the
Mexican Central road traverses fine min
eral country, with stretches of fertile lands.
He also stated that the Americans and
Mexicans had very false ideas of
one another, based upon sus-
picion of personal honesty, but
his experience and observation confirmed
him in the averment that life and property
were as safe in that portion of the sister re-
public as in the soi-desant law-abidlng
and God-fearing section of our Union. Dur
ing his stay in Mexico, Captain Peak pros
pered financially and returns to his home
to enjoy the fruits of his labsrs
and .frugality among. the friends of his
youth. Leaving the city of Vera Cruz on
Monday last, he reached this city yester-
day morning. His soiourn in the land of
Observation-Disclosures has added health to his
already robust constitution, and, while
tanned, the captain is the picture of health.
His brother Mat, is on the Mexican Ma
tional railroad now being constructed from
the city of the Montezumas to Iannillo, in
the capacity of superintendent of stock and
purchasing agent. Captain Peak will re-
turn in about ten days. his furlough being
limited.

Commissary Generals Eeport.

WASHINGTON, d. c., November 1.-THE
annual report Of the commissary general of
subsistence and inspector general of the
army has been submitted to the secretary
of war. The commissary general says the
resources and expenditures of subsistence
for the department for the past year and
the balance remaining unexpended on June
80, 1881, are set forth by the commissary
general and various statistics connected
with the monetary transactions of the de-
partment are alsorG given by him. Attention
is directed to the clause in the appropria-
ion laws requiring the ten per centum to
be charged the officers and enlisted men, in
excess of the original cost-pricc, to
cover all subsistence stores sold them, and
legislation is recommended by which sales
will hereafter be made to officers and en-
listed men at cost prices. The issues of
subsistence by the department to Indians
during the past year are tabulated in the
report, and legislation is suggested which
will not leave the subsistence bureau of the
war department subject to contribution for
the maintenance of the Indians when even
the appropriations for the Indian bureau
become for any reason exhausted. The
outcome of the discussion of the sufliciency
of rations by the officers, who have given
great attention to the subject, seems to in
dictate sufficiency at present of rations.
On the whole a reorganization and increase
of the force of the civil employees in the
office of the commissary general is recon-
mended, and the services of the enlisted
men in a clerical capacity are recommended
to be dispensed with.
He reports the discipline of the troops
good and constantly improving. The
troops are well armed clothed and equipped.
Great improvements have been made du-
ring the past year in building and reno
waiting barracks in the west and south. The
amount of work done by the troops, not
military III nature, such as building, driving
teams, &C., is considerable, and causes
much dissatisfaction and many assertions,
and he recommends the employment of pri-
vate citizens for this purpose. Recent events,
he saws demonstrates forcihly the import
ance of having strong force at or near all
Indian agencies. The wild Indians, the
inspector-general concludes, have great re-
spect for force. II is suggested that the
troops in the Indian country be col
lected in larger garrisons. The orders

Mr. Tilden's practice of conversing with

ant voice, and plenty Oft, when he chooses
to use it; but it has long been his belief
that to a man so busy with other men as he

vocal organs was one Of the most fatiguing
of practices. He therefore acquired the
habit of talking in a very low voice, or
even in a whisper. There Is undoubtedly
