A Freak of the Cotton Trade.
SO. Louis RepubIican

some Southern papers are calling atten-
tton TO, and lamenting freak in the cotton
trade which, IL It becomes an established
practice, will result in no small injury tn
me seaports and cotton markets. IL is that
cotton Is shipped by the planters direct to
LlVerpool, wlbnont stopping at the saaporse
70 De sold, weighed, sampled, hauled,
warehouse6, compressed aud reshipped.
Northern Texas, we are told, is sending
very little of its cotton to Galveston mer-
chants this season. Agents of foreign spin-
ners are going through that part Of the State
buying directly from the planters, and pay
Ing them prices little above the Galveston
markets; The cotton thus bought is ship
pea TO Galveston, but, without going into
store there, is transferred directly On board
vessels In the barbor ana carried abroad to
Liverpool and Bremen. As an evidence of
how rapidly this practice is gaining ground.
1t is stated that the town of Henderson
which last year shipped q, ,000 baIee, 90 600
OF winch went TO Galveston factors, will.
this year, ship 25 600 TO 10000 bales. oplv
10 per cent. OF which will reach the factors:
all the rest will pass through Calves
ton direct to Europe. The spinners' agents
pay higher price for It than the
factors can afford to give. The same phe-
nomenon is to be seen at New Orleans. and
the papers, alarmed at what It must result
In, are calling upon the merchants 10 take
.AO~oUiSS W HOiu q tIdOe Wnlcn threatens
10 escape from them. The Times Democrat
says: "The shipment of cotton direct from
the interior 10 vesssls loading at our wharves-
thus converting New Orleans into a mere
way or shipping station, deriving little. II
any, benefit from COMPRISING or handling
the staple, is feature of the cotton business
this year which threatens to grow more and
more general"
The new system is an effort on the part OF
the cotton trade TO escape the numerous
and excessive charges it is subject to in the
seaports. These charges are so burdensome
1t Is wonder measures were not adopted to
eVade them long ago. One thing seems
certain: either the methods OF doing bust
ness, particularly the cotton business, in our
Southern cities must be considerably sim
piifed and cheapened, or this trade will be-
come direct exchange. between planters
and spinners, and the factors will be left
without vocation.

CORN.
Report of the Agricultural Bureau.

WASHINGTON, November 1.-THE No
vember corn report Of the Department Of
Agriculture is Of a similar tenor with the
preceding returns. Planting was later, and
repianting was more general than for seve-
raj years. The prospect up to July 1st was
discouraging, causing sharp rise in values
OF grain and meats. Since that date the
season has been steadily favorable to growth
and ripeniDg, and deferred frosts made
the growing period OF fully aver
age length. The present returns
OF the yield make the general average close
to twenty-five bushels per acre, hieh Is
under medium yield. This WELD per acre
on an acreage Of between 65, 600 900 and
66,OOO, 900. makes an aggregate Of nearly
l,o5O, 100000 bushels. Its distribution in
round numbers is: New Eoglsnd 1000 600
bushels, New York 2l,000 coo, New Jersey
lO,COO,OOO, Pennsylvania Al 900 600,
Delaware 100000. Maryland II 600 600,

Missouri 1S4 100000, Kansas Isl ,OOO, 900,
Nebraska 81, 900, 900. The quality of the
crop is superior. Throughout the South it
falls below the standard, 100 in
only eighteen States and Territories,
only one point below in Michigan, two in
Ohio, three in Nevada, five in Indiana, Yer
mont and U tsh, six in New Jersey, eight in
Colorado, nine in New York, ten in Rhode
Island and New Mexico, fifteen in New
Hampshire and Iowa, sixteen in Dakota,
eighteen in Minnesota and twenty-five in
Wisconsin. Some correspondents deem 1t
too early for an accurate estimate, and
think the outcome will be better determined
by the December return of the produci. In
former years the December product has been
the lowest. It is not probable that the crop
exceeds the above figures.

THE JURY FIXERS.
Surrender of Briber Shaw.

WASHINGTON, November 11.-Frederick E.
Shaw, one OF the men charged with attempt
ing to improperly influence the star route
jury, Surrendered himself to the United States
Marshal this morning. His counsel had
notified special counsel Wells that Shaw
would surrender himself to-day, and, accom-.
panied by his counsel, Shaw called upon
Gov. Wells at his office. He was Immediately
taken to the Police Court, and without any
argument was admitted to bail in 50 500 ,
which was promptly furnished. His case diff
fers from that of the other defendants,
Payne, Fall and Foote, from the fact that he
is charged with approaching the jury In the
interest OF the defendants in the star route
case. Gov. Wells is of the opinion that
Shaw has been concealed by the defendants,
and that the change Of policy IS been de-
termtned involving the surrender Of both

Philadelphia Record.

Senator Baysrd, of Delaware, was at Guys
Hotel, in this city, Yesterday for dinner, and
left for New York In the afternoon. In re-
gard to the national aspect of TUESDAYS
election the Delaware Senator said that he
did not doubt that the effect will be to break
up the Republican party in the United
States; in fact, that the election clearly
shows that the Republican party is In the
same position now as the Whig party was
In 1854, when 1t went to pieces, with the
difference that there is now no such great
question involved In American politics as
that Nhich gave life to the party which took
the place of the routed Wings.
81 am, however, particularly pleased, con-
tinued the Senator, ''to see how signal has.
been the failure OF the stalwart plan to over
throw tie ascendRncy OF decent government
In the South by assisting to power a set of
political adventurers, whose success could
not have been less dreaded than the return
to power Of the carpet bag government of
the reconstruction days. The prostitution
Of high official power to place the people of
the South under, II possible, more cruel
political taskmasters than they were cursed
with in the high tide of the rule of the
Moseses and BulIocks has failed of it's pur-
pose. What Malone has made of Virginia,
1t was planned that others should make of
other Southern States. All good men must
rejoice that such a plan of Republicanizlng
the South could not succeed"
One thing which the Senator expressed
himself as quite sure of was that the cleo
ton everywhere is q tremendous rebuke Of
the administration and It's open reputation
OF civil service reform, and that It brings
to the front more prominently than anything
else the resistlees demand for q complete re-
form Of the civil service. He did net expect
to see this in the national administration
while Arthur's term lasts, but In the differ
ent States at once there would be a radical
and salutary change In the administration of
the public service, and the next national
administration, in view OF Tuesdays result,
must inevitably be an administration the first
purpose Of which will be to establish sys-
tenn of civil service reform, based upon the
highest d msnds Of efficiency and charac-
ter. The current of popular demand to
which the Democratic party has already
wisely Yielded-fOr the best and purest men
at the head Of sffairs-tbe Senator thinks,
will not be opposed by the party hereafter.
No men can and no men should be allowed
30 press themselves to the front who In
character are not above suspicion, and
whose records are not beyond reprosch.

Court OF Pennsylvania has decided that
