This table shows that Massachusetts is
the first, New Hampshire second, Rhode
Island third, Maine fourth, and Con-
necticut fifth in the number of bales
consumed. 1t shows, too, that Georgia
consumes nearly as many bales as the
great State of New York; that both
North and South Carolina consume more
than New Jersey, and that Tennessee
consumes more bales than Ohio, Indiana
or Illinois. The whole number of bales
consumed was /, 586, 4S1, and that num-
Der is now supposed to have grown to
1,7OO,OOO The number of bales con-
sumed in mills in the cotton producing
States is given in the census at 15S, 639,
and that has probably been increased to
10, 900 or 100000 for this year. In
1880 the proportion of bales consumed
then was 10 per cent. of the whole.
The increase in consumption has been
much greater in the cotton States since
1870 than in the Northern States, for
the evident tendency of capital is to To-
cate the mills in the States which grow
the raw cotton.

Proposed LEASE OF THE CINCINNATI
SoUTHERN.-Thet trustees of the Gin
cinnati Southern Railroad have adopted
a resolution to advertise for proposals at
once for the lease of the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad for twenty five years,
bids to be opened August 18th. Bidders
are requested to bid for each of three
plans, first, the gross earnings plan, I'M

fixed rental plan, under which the lessee
Is to pay a specified rental, scaled for
different years; third, the guarantee plan,
under which the lessee is secured a GER

The South Seen by a Northern
Rambler.

The South Seen by a Northern
Rambler.
A correspondent of the New York
Times has been travelling through the
South. He has been looking especially
into the cotton factories. The exhibit
he makes is very gratifying. The fac
tories are all making money, extending
works with great rapidity, and cannot
begin to fill their orders, either at home
or abroad their fabrics, it seems, are in
demand IN Asia and Africa. The hands
are well satisfied and their rela-
tions with employers friendly; their
wages are good and they are paid in
full in money at short intervals. They
have comfortable homes, and the cor
respondent says there is less drinking
and beyond all comparison less licen-
tiousness than among the same class of
operatives in New England" There is
no question of the speedy transfer of the
production of the coarser cotton fabrics
from New England to the South. Labor
at the South-white la5or-seems to be
plenty, and of a good character.
The Pittsburg Post confesses to a
preference to these fast recurring &C
counts of industrial progress at the
South to raking the lawless regions of
that section for crime to give character
to a whole people-such miserable
TRADE, for instance, as that of Frye's, Of
Maine, in the Senate few weeks ago.
There is crime enough, and to spare, in
every part of the country. OF course,
it should be eXtirpated, but how unjust
to Judge a whole people by the lawless'
ness of the few. How would the case
stand in Fittsburg if this test was ap'
piled?

There is not, says the New York
Tribune, much comfort in the report
that the internal revenue receipts for the
year ending June 80 will exceed those
of the previous year by nearly $4,000
900, owing chiefly to the collections on
cigarettes; Ior his increase marks the
spread of an injurious Iabit among
growing boys. No one who keeps MS
eyes open as be walks about the streets
can have failed to observe that half the
small boys he meets are smoking cigar
cites. 1t is not necessary to condemn
the use of tobacco by men before ven
turing to protest against its use by
babies. Furthermore, there is, unhap-
PLY, no doubt that women and girls
make every year a larger contribution
to the revenue derived from cigarettes.

These are the principal States of the
North and the South consuming cotton
in any large quantities.
But the important table-that which
is the best index as to the condition of
cotton manufactures in the UniOn-is

consumed in each State. Indeed, that is
the only reliable guide as to this indus

all kinds employed in each State in the
manufacture of cotton goods.

The Springfield Republican contends
that there is nothing new in the Brady
revelations, because five years ago Brad

Barlow testified that he had paid $40, 900
in lump to prevent a Congressional
nomination from taking its course. For
years there has never been a time when
sums like this were not ready to choke

a serious break has occurred in the
Mississippi levee in Carroll parish. The
gap is three hundred feet wide, and very
deep. The flood has reached Bayou Ma
con, and has overlooked the track of the
vicdsburg and Shreveport Road, which
will stop running. The State engineers
report that they are helpless, having
neither ability nor money to do anything
with. 1t is likely that fully ne-fifth of
the State will be overlooked, and the
damage will amount to millions.

A Washington dispatch says; ''Atten-
ton is being called to the question
whether or not the President has violated
the tenure of Office act in Withdrawing
the New York nominations and not send
ing In at the same time other names.
The law requires the President, in case
of vacancies, or in cases where offices
are being temporarily filed by appoint
ment, to send in nominations to the Sem
ate within thirty days after the next ses-
sion of Congress shall begin. Mr.. Ed
munds and some of the other lawyers of
the Senate hold that, as the President
did not send in other names at the time
he withdrew the nominations, these
nominations are really still the property
of the Senate The President, when
his attention was called to this,
took some time for consideration, and
at length said that the law clearly meant
that the nomination should be in within
thirty days after the next session OF
Congress, which does not occur until next
December. If there is point in this,
it is certain that Mr. Conkling intends to
make the most of it if the President has
violated the tenure of Office act by with
drawing names, and for the purpose OF
coercing the Senate to take up and act
upon the nomination of Robertson. IL
is now being said that for something Of
this sort Andrew johnson was impeach-
ed. Friends of Mr.. Conkling called up
on the Solicitor General and asked him
what his Interpretation of the law was.
His answer is reported TO have been that
the intent of the act was to secure the
sending in of nominations at such as
sembling of the only body authorized to
act upon nominations as first occurs af-
ter the offices have become vacant.

When the prominent Republican jour
nails in 1873 so severely criticised Garfield
on account of his connection with the
Credit Mobilier scandal, and asserted
that he took the stock and lied about it,
were they right2 And when the Demo
Gratis quoted from their utterances during
the last Presidential campaign, were they
right or were they merely throwing
mud2 And when stalwart papers now
assert that they believe he has lied,
and announce that for that reason they
"can no longer stand by him" are they
right or wrong2 1t is remarkable fact
that the harshest epithets applied to Mr.
Garfield have come from the men and
newspapers of his own party.

Charges of Bad Faith Introduced Into the
Irish Convention at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE convention of Irish
men was somewhat delayed to-day. the reason
for which is varisusly given. One account
saws there was disturbance as to the custody
of the 100000 skirmishing fund. Another
report, and one well authenticated, is that the
convention will not adjourn before Wednes-
day, owing to the charges made by ). Kerran'
Senca TELEGRAM, that George J.
Wet, member of the convention and
reported to be its secretary. who has taken a
prominent share in it's deliberations, is paid
SPY of the British government. Kegan has
alleged that he knew West in Ireland, that he
was detective and connected with the Irish
constabulary, and was once discharged from
this position; that Vests father and Bother
were disreputablc citizens, and that west mas
been some time in connection with the work
of ferreting out the slayer OF LORD Litrem.
Kegan's statements are denied, and branded as
unreliable by most, if not all the delegates.
The Western press reporter interviewed
West, who is fine looking man. He gave
straightforward denial to Kegan's story. He
said he was born in America and had never
been out of it, Rhode Island is his native
State. He was baptized in the Providence
cathedral, and has been constant and active
partisan of the Irish cause from MS
boyhood. His fidelity to Ireland was
never before questioned. He lays kegan's
motive in this attack was to gain notoriety.
IT was decided by some of the members to-
day that extra precaution should be taken to-
morrow as to the character of those admitted
into the convention, and that everybody
should show his credentials and lay bare his
history in the Iri sh cause.

LADY Rolf and St. Julien

N. w. Kittson, owner of the Kittsondale
breeding farm, has bred his fast trotting mare
Lady Rolf, by Tom Rolf, record 2:22K to Won
Arnim, record 2:22, by Sentinel. While Lady
Rolf has a record of only 2:22A she has shown
so much better in her work that Mr.. Kittson
has authorized a challenge for $4,000 side
for match, best in 5, against st. julien,
Maud S, or any other horse, to trot at the
Minneapolis exposition in September. Mr..
Vanderbilt, the owner of Maud s, will not al
low her to trot in match, and st. Julien, I'M
fortunately, has been "off'' all the spring.
Should he round to, Hickok, who believes he
has the fastest heat horse in the country, will
most probably accept Commodore Kilt
sons challenge. If the match
is made those attending the Minneapolis ex-
position the day of the race, will, both horses
being right, see the fastest match race ever
trotted St. Julien has record of 2:11 i and
1t is claimed for him that he can put in three
heats in succession very close to this figure
Judged by the record st. Julien should be q
but we have reason to know that should the
match be made the mare would carry fair
share of the money invested in the race.
Should the challenge of Commodore Kittson
not be accepted on behalf of st. Julien, or any
other horse, it is reported
Col. King will offer special purse for Lady
Rolf to trot against the time made by st.
Julien on the Minneapolis track last year,
213I, the fastest time made on that track,
and that the mare will be started with the
confident expectation of beating that time.
With mare of the splendid proportions Of
Lady Rolf, and her fine speed, judged by her
record of 2:22M at five years, bred to Won
Arnim, 2:22, the progeny ought to be some
thing extra. 1t was this expectation that
decided Commodore Kittson to breed Lady
Rolf at this time. Kittsondale will not fill
the measure of expectations of its owner I'M
til it's home-bred representatives, both running
and trotting, take rank among the fastest In
the land.
