COTTON.
Latest Advices Upon This Years Crop.

WASHINGTON, September 1.-THE Sep
tember report of the Department Of Agri-
culture on the condition OF cotton shows
an improvement since the 1st of August In
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ar
kansas and Texas and some deterioration in
South Carolina, Georgia and the States on
the Gulf coast to Louisiana, inclusive. The
general average Of August was "a, Of Sep
tember 90, which is the same as in Septem-
Der Of 1880, and higher than in any other
season for ten years. Last year the average
dropped from SO in August to 20 in Sep
tember. The State averages are as follows:
Virginia 80, North Carolina So, South
Carolina 9S, Georgia 50, Florida SO, Alabama
80, Mississippi So, Louisiana SO, Texas 10l,
Arkansas 100, Tennessee 50. These figures
indicate as they stand a large crop, but
from every quarter comes intimatIon OF too
weed, some shedding Of bolls, a ten
dencY to rust aud later develop
ment Of bOlls. Under these condi-
tions an early frost would be especially
Injurious. The caterpillar has made It's ap-
pearsnce 10 many counties of the Gulf
coast States. In some places a second gen.
Grafton is webbing up. While the damage
is inappreciable as yet, In most cases fears
are expressed that q third brood NAV do
great injury. The bollworm is reported at
many points in Denton county, Texas.
Their destruction is estimated at one hun
dred thousand dollars.
The corn crop in sill regions south of
Pennsylvania and the Ohio river is In high
condition in every State except West Vir-
ginia, and is represented by 100 or higher
figures. In many districts Of the South the
crop is reported as the best in twenty years.
10 New England there has been very sharp
decline, except in Vermont. from 81 to %
in Maine, 95 to 90 IN New Hampshire, 81 to
90 in Massachusetts,, e3 to 20 In Rhode Island,
and from So to Is in Connecticut. A de-
cline of eight points in New York and New
Jersey, and OF four In Pennsylvania is in
dicated. The loss in all these States is due
to the drought, which has been especially
severe in New England. There has been
abundant rain in all the other States. In
the corn growing States of the Ohio valley
the prospec's average very nearly as
at the last report. The general average
of the condition is So, the same as In August
last year. There was decline from n In
August to 60 in September. Ia 1880 the
September average was 81. If early frost
do not injure the crop the product will be
materially larger than last year, but the
heavy production of 1879 and 1880 cannot
be approached under the most favorable
circumstances.
The oat crop, when harvested,
was in unusually high condi-
tion, yielding heavily in threshipg.
The general average is 100, very few
States falling below that figure, among
them New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland
and Virginia.
The rye crop Is also above the average in
nearly all the States, and was harvested in
good condition.
The general average for tobacco is SO, and
by States-Pennsylvania Sc, Maryland 90,
Virginia 93, Kentucky 81, Ohio Us, and
Missouri SO

Justice, who produced letters OF his
appointment as special agent of that
department and stated that he was
authorized to act in the matter, IL
he would vote for the conviction of Brady
and Stephen w. Dorsey. That statement
would be corroborated by witnesses and by
circumstantial evidence. When he made his
offer to the court to-day to make q sworn
state 6ment In regard to the matter he had In
tended to take the stand, but on reflection
he was sure that the course pursued by
the court was the better one, IS he
would be placed in 8 false posi-
ton. There were others OF the jury
who hsd been approached from different
directions but the sums offered were small,
from 500 TO $500. The man who approach
ed him told him that he represented the
Attorney General, but he (Dlckson)
did not believe that He concluded that
and that his only protection was to
notify Judge Wylie OF the matter. He sug-
gested to Judge Wylie that he should coax
the man on, but Judge Wylie remarked that
that was too much like police duty, and
had advised him TO do nothing about the
matter. but to keep clear of the man. The
following day the man sent in his card for
an interview, and appointing a time and
place. He made no reply, and had not
seen the man or his companion, who
was also an officer OF the Department
OF Justice, from that daV to this.
He made inquiry a few days later and
learned that the man had left The city upon
the following day. He did not believe the
man had twenty-five dollars IN his posses
sion much less $25 600, and 1t was his opin-
ion that the man had been employed to get
him unwearily TO commit himself. He
would not allow this matter to drop but
would see the thing through.

What Opposition to Mr.. Stephens
Means.
Atlanta Constitution

Attdnt0 constitution.
There is not white man, woman or
child in the State of Georgia that is not
personally and vitally interested in pre-
serving the Democratic organization and
in perpetuating the condition which that
organization has made possible in this
State. 1t is a matter that vitaliy interests
every farmer, every merchant, every
business man, every laborer. The Demo
cratic organization is the only barrier of
safety which the public sentiment of the
State can erect for the preservation of
those institutions of politics and society
which are necessary to the well being
of all citizens, both white and
black. With this barrier out of the
way-and the administration at Wash
ington has ordered most strenuous ef-
fort to be made for its destruction-there
is no protection for the property or so.
cial interests Of our people. 1t is but
step from the peace and prosperity and
promise which our citizens of every class
now enjoy to an era of doubt, confusion,
political chaos and public plumber. No
matter what shape opposition to Mr..
Stephens may assume-no matter upon
what grounds it is based-it goes to
strengthen and help the tremendous ef-
fort which the National Republican
party, with its headquarters at Washing
ton, is now making to cripple and de-
stroy the Democratic organization in
this State.

CIRCUIT COURT.
Established 1868.

All day yesterday was consumed by the
court in concluding the trial of the case Of
The People VS.. The Wabash, ST. Louis &
Pacific railroad company. The indictment
was in effect, that the tracks Of the company
on Commercial avenue, above second street,
were nulsances, because they INSTRUCTED the
street.
The testimony taken was voluminous
considering the nature Of the case. Much
Of Monday and Yesterday was consumed in
the examination Of witnesses The argu.
ment began yesterday afternoon. Messrs.
D. T. Linegar and Angus Leek, appearing
tor the people and Mr.. S. p.
Wheeler for the defendant.
The case Was given to the jury late in the
afternoon, and after less than an hours
consultation the following verdict was
rendered:
1--WE, the Jurors 10 the case Of The Peo
pie vs.. The Wabash, st. Louis d Pacific
railroad company, find the defendant
guilty, and that the track on the west side
OF Commercial avenue, leaving the main
track between Second and Third streets, is
a nuisance"
This track, as all who have been down
there probably know, runs to the Union
Depot and in order to reach the platform Of
the depot, leaves the avenue and cuts of
the sidewalk on the westerly side thereof,
about midway between Second and Third
streets. The sidewalk consequently makes
u sharp curve about ten feet ont Of line,
following the curve Of the track and
encroaching upon the adjoining
lots Teams cannot 60 from Second to
Third street, along the westerly side OF the
avenue, without dIagonally crossing the
track Where teams usually cross in going
this route the tracks have been planked,
otherwise, none Of the tracks below Sixth
street have been planked as required by
the ordinance; but the planks are on hand
and will be put down soon--so we are told.
1t is probable that an appeal will be
taken in the case; but if the supreme court
sustains the verdict of this jury the company
will probably have to remove the track
complaiaed Of.
This morning the court will take up the
case Of The People vs.. Fred, Louis and
Lulu Koehler.

PAUL G. SCHUH,
DEAR SIR;-Recoguizing the fact that
there is to a certain extent, mutual Deepen
dency existing between the professions of
pharmacy and medicine, and feeling that
better understanding of the function and
duties of the two profession should be re-
cognized and adhered to, we, of the medi-
cal profession of Cairo, object to the FIRE
qucnt habit of druggists of this city, of
diagnosing diseases and prescribing medi.
cines, for the following reasons;
First. The science Of pharmacy does
not include knowledge Of the science of
medicine.
Second. You are violating the medical
practice act, by so doing, and robbing the
physicians of their Legitimate business.
Third. You are practising deception
upon the sick; therefore we ask you to ad-
here to the law governing the practice of
medicine.
Another grievance to which we respect
fully ask your attention, is the matter of
retilling prescriptions without authority OF
the physicians who have written them. The
above practice is injurious to both patient
and physicians; the patient often suffering
from the effects Of improper medicine, and
the physician because he il practically
held responsible for the action OF the medi-
cine he did not prescribe.
Again We hold that the original owner
of the prescription loses his ownership in
the same, as soon as il is once filled and
placed on file, and that he has no right to
demand that it be taken from the file and
be retilled, except by the order Of the pre-
scribing physicians. We therefore ask
you to discontinue the practice.
After due deiberation, we the under
signed members OF the Medical Associa-
ton of Cairo have resolved not to patron
ize directly or indirectly, any druggist,
who shall after this date, be known to pre-
scribe for any one requiring the services of
prescriptions without the written or verbal
authority of the physician. Respectfully,
