the yield Of cotton this year showed about
one-half of that of last year, which

THE TICKET OF 1884.
Ex-GOv. John C. Brown Recommended
by a Correspondent Of the NASH
VILE ssBanner''
IL the SUuth's Candidate for the Vice.
Presidency-His Ability and
Availability.

To the Nashville Banner:
The Memphis APPEAL of September 2lst
contained long interview with Col j. Nj.
Heating, of that journal, and in which
that DISTINGUISHED editor presents many
and strong reasofis why Southern man
should be accorded the second place on
the Presidential ticket in 1884. And the
writer hereof agrees with his reasoning
and with his conclusion that the South is
entitled to the second place on tis.e ma
tional ticket, but he hardly agrees with
him as to the man he finally suggests as
our candidate, namely; Gen. John b. Cor
don, of Georgia, not that We have one
word OF intrinsic objection to that noble
and admirable man. He was a brave sol
dier, is an able man and true patriot.
But in addition to all these characteristics,
we beg to suggest the name of an
ex-rennessean, who, in our judg-
ment, adds thereto a greater degree OF
ability and availability than the illustrious
Georgian. That man is EX-Gov. John Z.
Brewn, of Tennessee, now citizen oil st.
Louis, Mo-, the banner State of the great
West. Gov. Brown is Democrat of ma
tional reputation, and owing to his we'll
known conservatism on national ques-
tions, was selected by a Republican adj
ministration as one of the committee to
investigate IIle CleCtlOH
ana in 1876. He was Whig at the break
ing out of the war, and was then young
man Just emerging into public life. When
the war closed he put the past behind
him, and with brave and manly philoso-
ply adjusted himself at once to the new
| order of things, both State and National,
and since that time has been uniformly
distinguished for the conservatism of his
views and the nationality of his senti-
ments, for the devotion to the Union as it
| is, and his sincere pride in the grandeur
and unity OF our common country. Dur
ing that time he has been distinguished
for his unyielding determination in main
tanning the public faith, both State and
national.
Although he has resided but few years
in the West, he is well and most favorably
known throughout that great and infiuen-
| tial section. Indeed, he is well and favor
ably known to the whole country. He is
a man of conspicuous ability, vast energy
and great practical results, and would be
| a palpable power in the administration OF
the national government. Aud if we are
to have representation on the national
! ticket in 1884, we present for the consid.
Grafton of the National Democracy the
name of our most worthy and suitable ex.
fellow-citizen, Gov. John c. Brown, oi
Missouri. viii not the Banner present
his name to the country?

FOREIGN POSTAGE.
Department Officials Reply 10 Mr..
Jan.es's Statements.

WASHINGTON, September 2i.-Postoffice
Department officials characterize the talk of
EX-PoStmaster-Gener James about two
cent postage and daily mails between this
country and Europe as absurd. They say
that the country is we'll served now with
foreign mails, as there are four mail steam
ers per week to England, besides closed
mails to all other countries of Europe. The
regular mail for England, which goes four
times per week, carries packages full OF
mail for Germany. This gives to Ger
many practically daily mail. To most
other countries which get four mails per
week through the English mail, there is
at least one and often two additional mails
weekly, so that to European countries gen.
orally there are from five to seven mails
per week. The talk of reducing rates to
two cents they say is ridiculous, No coun-
try in the world has cheaper foreign letter
rates, than those of the United States at
present. 1t is member of the Postal
Union, whose minimum rate is five cents
and many of whose members charged q
higher rate than that. The cost of con-
veying letters to European countries is
much more than two cents. The depart
ment pays one and a half cents simply
for the transfer across the Atlantic on its
letters, and in addition pays two centimes
or two-fifths of cent on each letter for
transportation across any OF the countries
of Europe. This, in addition to the cost
of carrying the letters in this country be.
fore they reach the port where they are
put aboard the steamer. The foreign mai
system, they say, scarcely sustains itseli
now, and could not nearly do so except
for the sum paid to the United States BY
the British government for transporting
its mails across the continent to and from
Australia and Japan.

GEN. GOURKO
Believes that War with Russia and G Ell .
MANY is Imminent.

hu"Dy hS
The Paris correspondent of the New
York Herald telegraphs that the Clarion
publishes an interview of its Geneva cor
respondent with an eminent Russian gen
eral, who under a semi-transparent dis
guise is easily recognized as Gen. Gourko,
Governor of Poland, who seems to have
succeeded Skobelef as the stormy petrol
OF Russia. Gen. Gourko declares that war
between Russia and Germany is imminent.
In reply to the question, sis not Poland
tres trdcaiHe by Germany" Gen. Gourko
said: "Assuredly- When, about ten
years ago, the Russian government de-
prived the Poles of the right to buy real
estate the Germans began to NEEDLE in
Poland, and managed to get finger in all
the internal affairs of the country, The
Germans came in great numbers and
bought up all the land formerly owned by
Poles. There are now over 100000 Ger
man landowners in Poland, and the num-
Der is constantly increasing. They are es-
tablished even in the furthest parts as
Nolhynia. They have everywhere got un-
der control the most lucrative property in
the kingdom. l have not the slightest
doubt that the day will soon come when
the Russians bitter antipathy to Germans,
especially Polish Germans, will develop
into general anti-Teutonic movement
which, like the anti-Semitic movement, is
sure to involve bloodshed. Germany is
almost certain to interpose on behalf of
her subjects. The outcome is sure to be
war. Berlin statesmen are already seduc-
ing the Poles by holding out to them hopes
of autonomy such as they enjoy already in
Austrian Galicia. / am confident that
when Germany allowed Austria to estab-
lish herself in the Balkan peninsula she
reserved to herself as compensation Po-
land, which is every day becoming more
and more Germanized." In reply to the
question, "When will war break out ?'
Gen. Gourko said: every soon. A bret
deld;. Too soon, in fact; for, to speak
frankly, as Russian patriot and soldier,
| should greatly prefer to see Russia Sc
recUeiUtr for some time to come"
