A Cotton Proclamation.
NEW YORK. June {

NEW YORK, June 8.
The Board of Managers of the New
York Cotton Exchange have recently
adopted a report relative to waste in the
staple. The report says:
Whereas numerous complaints have
been made about waste in the staple of
American cotton, more particularly of
this years growth, which has led to the
belief that in many instances it is caused
by ginning" at high rate of speed and
cleaning the seed too closely, thereby
breaking the staple and producing an
excess of "huffy," or what is known as
reginned staple, thus lowering its char
acter 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 cot
ton by imperfect handling is injurious to
the interests of the South. Some of the
damage complained of ID traceable to the
imperfect condition of the gins, neces.
sary 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 Mt a
higher value than the products of India,
and that SO much rs the staple is dete-
r:orated il will be surely felt in the prices.
Sand and dust have been found in our
crop this year in larger proportion than
ever before. Hence great reduction in
price has been made for it. No doubt n
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 2a23 cents aud even
more below the value Of the same grade
of clean cotton. 1t is said that "clean-
ers" were exhibited at the Atlanta Expo
sition that would remedy this grievance,
and if it be true, their adoption should
become general. In conclusion, planters
ehould remember that more care should
be given to bailing so as to avoid mixing
different qualities in the same bale,
which Is a source of great annoyance at
the mills and leads to reclamatious
against sellers.

Guiteau.

WAsnINGToN, June 10.-Charles II.
Reed, in company with a Notary Public,
visited the Jail yesterday, to secure
Guiteau's signature to n petition for a
writ of habeas corpus rcturnable before
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court. 1t is believed that Justice Miller
will be asked to pass upon the writ, as
he is expected to arrive in this city next
week, and will be the only member of
the Supreme Court then in Washington.
After an attentive reading Of the petit
tion, Guiteau signed it, ren.arking that
it would be of no service, as the case
was closed, in his opinion, and, he added,
that his only hope lay in the Presidents
interccssion. Reed explained that it was
necessary to first exhaust every legal
resource. These proceedings will proba-
bly, begin in the early part of next week.
Yielding to General Crocker's solicita-
tions, Guitcau finally consented to see a
clergyman, and he was attended yester-
day by Rev. DR.. Hicks, of the Tabernacle
Church Of this city. The interview
lasted one hour, and the prisoner was
much affected, and earnestly joined in
prayers offered by the minister in his
behalf.

prisoners arrived at Blackwell's Island at
noon, and their pedigrees were taken.

MIR. Trescot's Opinion Of Chile anu
Peru.
WAslIINGToN, june s.

WAsuINGToE, June 8.
Mr.. Trescot, our lately returned envoy
to the South American Repn olics', does
not accede TO "interyiews" with the nu-
merous and agile correspondents here.
This is loss to the public, as his grace
full and graphic descriptions of the far
Southern countries he has he'd SO excep.
tional an opportunity OF observing would
be pleasant summer reading, ald very
instructive besides. Forewarned, | did
not attempt to secure from him any opin..
ions upon the political questions involved
in his mission, but met him day or
two ago in Senate cloak room, sur
rounded by party of appreciative legis-
lators, and obtained replies to a ewques..
tions directed toward the unpolitical
aspects of Chile and Peru.
Chile, Mr. Trescot thinks, is al oil
garchy, rather than q republic. There
arc a handful Of educated and wealthy
men who own the land, monopolize the
chief industries and control the govern.
ment. Back Of them are the half.savage
Indians, the great mass of the popula-
ton. These men work the estates and
do the fighting of the country, but that
is all They arc thoroughly controlled
by the great planters and politicians. A
feature Of the government which contri-
butes greatly to this control of the work
ing classes is that which places the con-
duct of elections completely in the hanus
Of the great estate owners. They fix the
polling places, appoint the managers and
make the returns. The statement of
Chilian papers that Mr. Trescot was very
enthusiastic over the country and COM
pared it favorably with "South Carolina
before the war" would seem to have been
erroneous. Mr.. Trescot did not like the
climate.
AS to Peru there could be no good est-
mate Of the system Of government, be-
cause during Mr.. Trescot's visit there
wasn't any government worth mention
ing. In its normal state it was similar to
that Of Chile. The laboring classes were
more tractable and less fierce than those
of the conquering State. Mr.. Trescots
journey of hundred r les into the heart
of the Andes in searcn of the nominal
President of Peru was an adventure
along mountain prccipiccs which would
require much repetition to make pleasant
The roads were mere threads wound
around the great peaks with yawning
abysscs beneath. Mr.. Trescot considered
the guano deposits Of the Lobos island:
greatly exaggerated in value. The
amount of guano still remaining wa:
Only few million tons. The "claims'
of Shipherd ct al of thousand million.
would seem to have been rather fanciful
The nitrate deposits of Bolivia are won
derfully rich and only partially devel
opcd Dir. Trescot is looking extremely
we'll, bronzed and ruddy. On the whole
think he is rather glad to get back to {
country where revolutions are more in
frequent than in the Land Of the Sun.

The Laurensville Herald, in On article
on the Governorship, says: "The prize
we won in 1876, and which we have been
ever since so sedulously guarding, is
seriously imperillcd Wo should lose
sight OF all minor diiletcnccs, and keep
our eyes eadfastly fixed on the preser-
vation of local self-government and
home-rule, with justice to all classes and
races. To carry out this programme, We
should have as our standard bearer in tho
race for Governor one whose life would
furnish his platform-whose public pol
icy in the future could be judged of by
the past. There can be no mistake as to
whom we allude-our readers will know
before We write it that we refer to Wade
Hampton" All that tho Herald says is
true, aud Governor Hampton would
make rousing canvass. The difficulty,
however, is that he is not willing to be-
come the nominee. Tho party has q
number of able leaders in the State, any
one of whom would carry our standard
to victory. We will certainly win the
next election if we make a judicious
selection of candidates. The Convention
should be popularized by doubling it's
membership, and when it meets tho delo.
gates should, with due sense Of the re.
sponsibility resting upon them, select
men who can rally the party as the
acknowledgements. In this selection men
should bo called to the Office without re-
gard to whether they are candidates or
not. The welfare Of South Carolina is
above the interest. of any man, and only
such nominees should be placed on the
ticket as can contribute towards an en-
thusinstic campaign and an oyerwhclm-
ing Vi story.
