- Unless the most extraordinary diligence
is practiced, in the House, the appropriation
bills and other absolutely necessary business
cannot be disposed of before the 4th of July,
if attention is given to nothing else between
now and that time. The prospects for an
early adjournment of Congress are not, there
fore, so promising.
Gen. O'Neal, the Democratic candidate
for Governor of Alabama, is brother of the
late Judge O'Neal, of South Carolina. lie is
81 years old. His standing as lawyer, SOL
dier, politician and citizen seems to have been
conspicuously brilliant, and sin his nomina-
tion, says the Montgomery advertiser, 'there
is no taint of sectionalism."
Ohio Republicans are trying to trim on
the liquor question by taking it out of the
election an submitting it in the form of Con-
sttutional amendment. The Pond bill, which
imposed specific tax upon all liquor dealers,
together with an enactment requiring saloons
to be closed on Sunday, has been killed by the
Supreme Court.
- The election in Oregon last week went
Republican by an increased majority. The
average Republican majority on the State
ticket is 1,SOO. NJ. c. George for Congress
will have nearly $500 in the State, which is
the largest majority ever given to any .andi-
date Moody, for Governor, will have about
1000 less than George. The Republicans
have the Legislature by certain majority of
10, which may be increased to 13.
"A Republican jogsnal, virtually acknowl-
edges that there is no chance of splitting the
votes of the Solid South. They want to be on
the winning side once in life time, and are
hopeful that the hour of the Democracy is ap-
preaching. A gentleman who has Travelled
throughout the South for the past six months
and mingled with all classes of people assures
the Republican journal that this is about the
situation.
- The North Carolina Liberal and Anti
Prohibition Convention met in Raleigh on the
7th instant. Col. VIM. Johnston, Of Char
lotte as chairman Of the Anti-Prohibition
Commission, called the Convention to order,
and was made permanent President The
negroes were awarded share of Vice-Presi-
dents and Secretary, and of the committee
appointed on resolutions. The Convention
adopted resolutions against the existing gov
ernment of the State, demanding free ballot
and fair count; demanding the repeal of the
Prohibition act sumtted to the people last
August and rejected; favoring liberal sys-
tenn Of public instruction by the State and
National Governments, and urging All appli-
cation of the fund arising from the tax on
spirits to common schools under the super
vision of the State. Oliver H. Dockery, Re-
publican, was nominated for Congressman at
large and for Supreme Court Judge, Geo. N.
Folk, heretofore, Democrat was nominated.
Superior Court Judges for the different dis
tricts were also nominated.

| BAD CoTToN.-The Board Of Managers of
the New York Cotton Exchange takes time
by the forelock, by addressing to the planters
of the South the following circular:
"Whereas, numerous complaints have been
made about the waste in the staple of Ameri-
can cotton, more particularly OF this years
growth. which has led to the belief in many
Instances that it is caused by ginning at a
high rate of speed and the cleaning seed too
closely thereby breaking the staple, and pro-
ducing an excess of fluffy or what is known
as reginned staple, thus lowering its chara'
ter and value, this Exchange would most
earnestly call the attention of the planting
interest to the evil, and ask that efforts be
made to cure it. It is quite manifest that
lowering the value Of cotton by imperfect
handling, is injurioussto the interest of the
South. Some of the damage complained of is
traceable to the imperfect condition OF the
gins, necessary repairs not being made when
they are required. Farmers should under
stand that it is the staple of American cotton
that enables it to be sold at higher value
than the product of India, and that so much
as the staple is deteriorated it will be surely
felt in prices. Sand and dust have been found
in our crop this year in larger proportion than
ever before; hence great reduction in the
price has been made for it. No doubt the
very dry season had considerable to do with
their presence, and has caused low prices to
be accepted for such, as sales, have been made
at to 2Jc. and even more below the value OF
the same grade Of clean cotton. 1t is said
that cleaners were exhibited at the Atlanta
Exposition that would remedy the grievance,
and if it be true their adoption should be-
come general. In conclusion, the planter
should be reminded that more care should be
given to avoid mixing different qualities in
the same bale, which is source of great an
noyance at the mills and leads to reclaimations
against the sellers"
