February, has been published. The
population Of that prolific country
amounts to the enormous total Of
252,64l, ,2lO, an increase Of 12,7S8,565

The Game Law.

Now that the hunting season is nearly
upon US, and the ardent nimrod is adding
the last drops Of Paraine to his Scott or
DAILY. and putting a finishing touch on
Gladstone or Joe, Jr., a line or two rela-
tive to the game law may not be out OF
place.
1t Is q very common belief that the pro-
hibition ceases from the LIST Of September.
This is partially true, but there is a limi-
tation as regards quails and p%artridges,
the law as to these remaining in effect
until the first day Of October.
My authority for the above is the Acts
Of Tennessee, 1871, CHI. l27, page 3, an
amendment to section l of an Act entitled
IAN Act for the preservation of game in
Rutherford and Fayette counties" passed
June 30th, 1870. As amended, the latter
reads, Sin the counties Of Rutherford, Fay
cite, Shelby and Upton" and forbids the
shooting, wounding or destroying ofquails
or partridges from the lst Of April until
the first of October.
This statute, in its amended form, exists
unrepealed and unchanged.
Every true and earnest lover of quail
shooting who has faceda s~elf-lushed bevy
without q tremor, and dropped his double
birds, viii appreciate my protest against
the species Of p%ot-hunting INDUCED in by
September hHnters, when the veriest
tyro can bring them to bag with an army
musket, and, in fact, if his dog be of the
go-aheadative sort, he will barely need a
lgun. 1t is TO be sincerely hoped that our
magistrates, especially country ones, will
see that this excellent law is strictly en-
forced. III it is to be a dead letter On our
statute book, the sooner it is repealed the
better it will be for our consistency.

Rough on Reporters.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, September 5.-There
was a remarkable exodus of corre-
spondents tonight. the general desti-
nation being Long Branch. Every eff
fort vas made here to get permission
from the parties in charge 0 fthe Pres
ident's train to allow an extra coach
for correspondents to be attached, the
corps to 60 under such regulations as
might be made. This was, however,
refused, upon objections made by Mrs.
Garfield, it is said. The agents of the
associated press were also excluded,
and were obliged to get over as best
they could. Certain of the
family manager also requested the
Pennsylvania road to refuse the cor
respondents a special train to follow
or .precede the Presidents, and,
although the newspaper men offered
to pay literally therefor, it was re-
fused. The Baltimore and Ohio road
tonight applied to President Roberts,
OF the Pennsylvania road, for permits
sion to run a special train over the
road for the correspondents, but this
was also refused. Thus handicapped,
the correspondents were Obliged to do
the best they could under the circum-
stances, and by far the larger portion
OF them left by to-night's trains to
receive the President at his destina-
ton, leaving a few here to cover the
departure.

EnIiued to the Advanee.

This Office is now favored with an
industrious and worthy force of print
ers, well skilled in their calling, and
second to that of no force eyer EN-
ployed during the past sixteen years.
In view of this, as we'll as the fact that
the general expense of living has ad-
vanced, while higher prices, especially
for skilled labor, is looking up, an ad-
dition Of four cents per thousand ems
has been added to the rate formerly
paid for type setting, counting from
the first of the present month. This
advance enables printers employed to
earn from two to three dollars a week
more than they Wereable to previously.
The understanding between the pro.
prietor of this journal and the printers
in the Office was reached in an amicable
manner, and the mos. cordial relations
exist between all. the proprietor re-
garding the lsborer as worthy Of his

Freight Mem in Oonnoil.

The arrival of j. M. Culp, the
prominent railway freight agent, is
noted to day. During this afternoon
Mr.. Culp, in connection with freight
representatives Of the several freight
routes, will meet to consult over the
propriety Of arranging a pooling system
for cotton to be conveyedSouth North
or Fast, also upon the question Of
rates. At present the rate by rail ia
New York is 60 cents per cWt, and to
Boston rs cents. This is something
below last years ruling figures. AT
the close Of business last spring several
prominent cotton carrying agents an.
nounced themselves against any
farther pooling arrangements or
division of business. They said
they would work every man
for himself when business opened
again, each getting all he could and at
rates best suited to their respective
interests. Among the rules last sea-
son was that of dividing the business
offered. In other words, p~rorating
the quantity as we'll as the rate. For
example. each railroad was permitted
to carry a certain number of bales
and the boats a certain number. The
Ohio river packets between $4,000
and $1,000 bales, the Anchor Line Of
steamers about the same, and they
were permitted to do so at rates &c
per cwt. below the all rail routes, the
difference being in the insurance, which
is somewhat more expensive by river
than by rail. From the way it looks
at present, there is no certainty about
any agreement being arriveda at. Some
wish to ignore the steamboats, entirely,
and # this is done a pool will not be
worth much, nor of long life.

COndItiOn Of New cotton.

This years growth of cotton is com
ing to market in capital order. Clearly
picked, free from leaf and dirt and
being dry, it gives easily aud is free
from maps. A prominent buyer re.
marked to day that he had not yet
e a bale Of the new crop that
classed below fright low middling.
The staple, too, is excellent, not quite
50 strong and long as last year, but
yet fully up to its average and much
better THAI many expected. The
river valley cotton so far received is
from two to three grades higher in its
classification than last year, or indeed
any former year. Several buyers here
in view Of an early gathering of the
crop and its probable high classified
ton, are inclined to the belief that
the lower classes which we're so
abundant last year will soon be scarce
and hard TO buy. In support Of this
opinion they have recently taken lists
OF poor cotton held over from last
year and are holding in anticipation
Of an early advance and active de-
mand. There is a considerable spec
ulatiye demand at present, something
our market has not experienced fol
full three months past.
