WE UNDERSTAND that Mr.. Thomas l..
James is now of the opinion that, G) while
all the allegations in his recently filed "in-
formation" are true, (2) it is doubtful
whether legal proof to sustain them can he
had.
Among the allegations sworn to by Thom-
as J.. James in that remarkable document,
was one to the effect that zone A. c. Buell.
had been employed to influence Members of
Congress and Senators in order "to secure
the passage of large and unjust appropria-
tions;" also that "Thomas j. Brady" had
used with" the said zone A. G. Buell."
Large sums of money for the purpose in
dicated.
We have heretofore remarked that this
sworn statement of Thomas l.. James is
simple perjury. 1t has not the slightest
foundation in fact. In letter and in spirit
it is bald, naked falsehood from begin
ming to end having no motive but malice
and no excuse but revenge. We therefore
remark that Thomas l.. James is u ma
licious peEjurer.
These words we understand to be action
able at law.
This is in the nature of information."
And not only is the allegation we make
true, but we are ready, whenever called
by proper authority, to furnish legal proof
of the same.
And moreover, we will undertake to
prove, by competent witnesses, upon the
further question of general character, not
only that Thomas l.. James pcrjured him
self in his sworn allegation concerning us,
but also that he is common and habitual
liar; that since he has been Postmaster
General he has lied to Senators and Mem
bers of Congress in regard to matters of
patronage-which we will prove by tho
testimony of the honorable gentleman to
whom he has lied and by the circum-
stances of the cases that he has lied about
tnat ne mas lled 10 contractors or tnelr at
torneys concerning matters of business in
his Department-whch we will prove in a
similar manner.
In short, We will prove not only that
Thomas l.. James is periurer in the spe-
cifc matter relating to ourself, but also
that he is in general and at large notorious,
if not proverbial, prevaricator, falsifier and
liar, in season and out of season, from mere
force of habit and from utter mendacity OF
nature.
And on all these allegations which we
publish as of our own knowledge and in
full view of their actionable character, VIC
are ready to go to trial

Cotton production in this country has out
stripped the increase of the population of
the cotton States proper In ratio approach
ing that Of three TO one. According TO Pro.
fessor Hilgsrd, Special Agent of the United
States Census on cotton statistics, the maxi
mum OF specific increase has occurred In the
Atlantic cotton States, whose average pro-
duct per acre is now nearly equal to that of
the State of Mississippi. An area of low
production (due to soil exhaustion) is sweep
ing westward, the line of minimum produe-
ton per acre lying at this time In the States
OF Florida and Alabama, whence the pro-
duction rises until in the virgin bottom lands
of Louisiana and Arkansas It reaches
maximum, and again descends (as would
naturally be expected) IN the uplands of
Texas. OF these three conclusions, Profes-
sor Hilgard thinks none is more pregnant
with importance than the last. II the irre-
sistible logic Of the census figures were
fully appreciated by the population of the
Mississippi Valley States, it should serve to
induce timely change in the policy of eul-
ture now pursued, and thus to prevent the
low ebb of prOductiveness now on it's west
ward course from reaching the unexhausted
States.
The data collected by the census enumer-
ators during June, 1880, necessarily refer to
the cotton crop Of 1879, at least so far as
the product is concerned In some cases,
however, it is feared that the enumerators
have returned the acreage of 1880. As the
crop of 1880 was, doubtless, greater than
that OF 1879, the error would tend to depress
the calculated average production per acre
to some extent. In the following table the
cotton-producinR States are arranged In ac-
cOrdsnee with the order OF their rank ac-
cording to production In 1879

Close Of Hig Fast-A Feast for an

CHICAGO, July 12.-John Griseom con-
eluded his fortY-nve days fast at noon To-
day. his pulse this morning was 66, res
piration Is, temperature 90. At noon, just
before he broke his fast, he weighed 1471<
pounds. About two hundred people assem-
bled In the Olympic Theatre to see the faster
take his first mouthful Of food. Behind the
scenes table was spread containing rsisins,
peaches, oranges, cake, bread, crackers,
cheese, whortlebeFries, biscuits, beefstesk,
strawberries, milk toast and Ice water The
hero OF the day quietly walked around super
intending the arrangements, talking with
the reporters, aud even helping the mattresses
TO handle the articles OF food, showing,
meanwhile, no signs OF unusual hunger or
excitement. When the curtain went up
the audience applsudsd heartily and Girls.
com made q little speech, setting forth bis
well-known views about fasting, saying he
believed that much physical sickness and
distress was due to Overcrowdlng the sys-
tenn with food
he had attempted and had shown that
abstentiOn from food could be safely uH-
dertaken. He had only recovered by reason
OF fasting from Illness, which the doctors
had pronounced incurable. he did not ad-
wise promiscuous fasting, but desired scien-
tidc attention to be given the subject with
the view to hereafter obtaining any ad-
vantage there might be IN II as a remedial
agent He was hungry but not ravenous
Fasting was both mental and physical
test. VIII power had much to do
with It's success. He had ordered an IelabO-
rate menu, not because he expected to eat
much, but to satisfy his imagination as well
as his appetite. He then, amid renewed ap-
plause, sat down aud, with the words "Here
is looking at you," lifted glass of milk TO
bis lips and slowly drank gobletful Turn
ing to another glass he took few swallows
more and then turned his attention to the
milk k-toast, eating very deliberately and
stopping to chat with his companions on
the stage. He continued to eat slowly and
with apparent nOnehalance until the audi
enee, having satisfied their curiosity, began
to disperse.
