Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia road and
negotiate the terms of settlement OF the
lease claimed by this road, so as to place the
control OF the -Msnpf1fs ana -cnarfestonroad
in The hands of the stockholders. Il was
stated by Vice-President Jere Baxter and
Colonel A. S. Colyar that General Thomas,
president OF the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia road, has assured them that propo-
sition from the Memphis and Charleston
road to pay 100000 for the lease would be
accepted. The following resolution was

on preferred stock shall be applied
TO the common stock until they reach six
per cent, and then any surplus is TO be
equally divided between the preferred and

of cancellation of the lease, that the COM

BEN HILLS SUCCESSOR.

ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS AND GOVERNOR
CoLQUITT MENTIONED FOR THE HONOR
WASHINGTON, August 22.-The gossipers
are beginning to gossip about a successor TO
the late Senator Hill, of Georgia. Several
names have. been mentioned, but the most
prominent OF these are Alexander II. Ste
phens and Governor Colquitt Colquiit, no
doubt, would be glad 10 fill the vacancy, but
il Stephens would accept it he would un-
doubtedly be the man. 1t is very doubtful,
however, whether he would accept under any
circumstances. He said few days ago. in
answer to query upon this subject, that he
would not be candidate for the Senate at
any time. 81 have been nominated for the
governorship of Georgia, and expect to be
elected. Ii 1 am elected shall understand
that the people who elect me want me to be
their governor. Besides, have no ambition
10 be senator" This rem ark is undoubtedly
true exponent of Mr.. Stephens's feelings
upon the subject. He has often expressed
himself as enamored OF the House. He
considered it the field for an active man, and
preferred being a great commoner to hold
ing seat in the Senate of the United States.
Yet those who know Mr.. Stephens best, be-
lieve that he would not object, after quar-
ter of a century in the House, 10 rounding
out the term of his public life with seat in

NEW YORK POLITICS.

SECRETARY FoLGER THE CANDIDATE OF THE
sTALwARTs FOR GOVERNOR.
WAsurNcroN, August 22-Secretary Fol-
ger will. from present appearances, be backed
by the New York Stalwarts for the governor
ship. The Stalwarts are bound to defeat
Cornell, il they can, and Folger is really the
only available man they have whom they
can trust. Notwithstanding the secretary's
mild denials, it is said he has for several
years had an ambition to be governor of New
York. The Stalwarts will not accept Con-
gresham Wadsworth, and there is the best
reason 10 believe they are working up Folger,
and with bis assent. The charges against
Governor Cornell of having manipulated
stocks and of squeezing out his victims are
circumstantiallyp put forth and sustained, and
graver charges relating to the manner he has
swelled his bank account while he has been
governor will probably soon come 10 light.
1t is war to the knife between the factions,
and the Republicans begin to feel as hopeless
over New York as over Pennsylvania.

A COMPARISON of figures shows that the
State and private banks of the country con-
tribute nearly one-third of the country's
gross banking capital. Their deposits are
larger, 10 proportion to capital, than those
of the national banks The total capital OF
the national banks on July LIST was S477,-
100000; deposits in the national banks
amounted 10 81 ,OGT, OO0, 900; in the State ard
private banks, s7ss, OOO, 900. From 1881 TO
1882 the capital of the national banks in
creased s17,Qp0,OO0; Of The Others, So, OOO,-
600; deposits in the national banks increased
$50 900 900; in the other banks, $2Ss, 0Oo, 600.
The abuse Of the national banks is met by
the fact that each Stale and private bank
can. if il please, become national bank (;
that they do pot answer the senseless clamor
about extravag AM gains owing to the enjoy
ment Of national bank privileges.

THE Scientific AnericIn says that Edward
Atkinson has found a new element in the
cotton crop OF importance TO Southern
farmers, which is, that for each bale OF cot
ton there are 1900 pounds of stems, which
are very rich in phosphate of lime and pot
When ground and mixed with ensilage
or cotton-seed meal (which is too rich for use
az fodder in large qusntities), the STEM
mixture makes superior cattle food, rich
in all the elements needed for the producticn
of milk, meat sad bone. II is believed that
this utilization Of tie cotton stems, hitherto
a nuisance, will prove to cotton growers a
new source of wealth, and la many parts
greatly facilitate the raising OF stock, By fur
pishiug substitute for grain.

re.a. ss.ss. blurred a; by Excessive

ST. LOUIS, August 22-Saturday the Mer-
chants Exchange at Dallas, Tex, In making
report OF the cotton crop in Northern
Texas, says the rains have been excessive
since the Sth of July, and the ground has
been kept soaking wet. The result has been
luxuriant plants at the expense of actual
cotton. Boil worms have appeared in fifteen
counties heard from, and probably prevail
in all the rest. Examination along the
Texas and Pacific and the Texas and ST.
Louis railroads disclosed the worm at work
nearly everywhere. The crop is three weeks
late, the weather not having been warm
enough 10 open the bolls. Picking will,
therefore, not generally begin before Sep
TENDER lst The damage by the worm can:
not be definitely stated yet, but the general
opinion is it will be serious, and the condi-
ton OF cotton is regarded as critical through
out the section mentioned.

WITH good fense and sound policy the
Western distillers recently recommended
obedience TO the law respecting Sunday

high payment for license, 30 that disrepu-

rage will be understood when we state Chi
