The House Immediately adopted a

Replying to a deputatiou Of the
Blackburn Temperance mission at
the residence Of Maj. Gen. Fieldcn
on the 18th instant, he said that he
had always employed the opportuni-
ties afforded him to Impress the ne
cessity of temperance ON those un-
der his command. In the Red river
expedition, against the advice even
Of the medical men who accompani :
ed the troops, he decided that no
spirituous liquors should be taken
with the forces; and yet no men ever
did harder work or behaved better
than those on that expedition. In
South Africa his personal body guard
consisted almost exclusively Of tenn
perance men; and there too the doc
tors, who had predicted all manner
of ills from the absence of grog, had
absolutely nothing to do. In Egypt,
again, the doctors told him that it
was necessary the men should have
grog, and he was Obliged, owing to
the great pressure put on him, TO al
low it occasionally; but it was given
in very small quantities and rarely,
and yet the troops in Egypt were ad-
mirable in Their behavior. He had
long held that drink was the great
source of crime, disobedience and
other evils in the army.

The Little Rock Gazette OF the

alt never rains but it po,lrs." Yes
terday United States Marshal J. L.
Brown, Jr., was arrested on the pre-
ferment of serious charges in conncc-
ton with the collection of money
from the government ON forged
vouchers. The charges involve for
gerry, perjury and obtaining money
by such means.
Mr.. Brown stood high in the es-
TEEN of the citizens of Little Rock,
and was regarded as not only the
"pink OF propriety," but a model of
religious worth, business integrity
and social excellence; was a deacon
of the first Presbyterian church, and
superintendent Of the Sunday school
of that denomination. The amount
of his steal will not aggregate more
than two or three thousand dollars.
The fraud on each voucher ranges
from $40 to $25, and shows both for
gerry and perjury in each case.

If southern planters would pro-
duce no more than 100000 bales of
cotton per annum and devote the re-
naming portion Of their cultivate
fields to grain, and grasses for stock,
they would be within a few years
rich instead ofpoor. They raise great
crops Of cotton but they accumulate
nothing. The net profits of their Ia
hor all go into the pockets of the
northwestern farmers who grow rich
while the southern farmers not only
remain poor but they can't even make
crop without borrowing money to
buy bread and meat. The southern
all cotton system is good one for
the northern farmer but it is a very
bad one for the southern farmer.-

TIE Atlanta Constitution drives n
nail in the all cotton coffin in this
way" In point of fact, prices are
now at point where the Georgia
planter would make money by buy
ing all the cotton he wants instead
of raising it. II costs less TO make
pound of bacon than TO make a
pound Of cotton, but the prise Of ba-
con is away above that of cotton; so
that if there is any Georgia farmer
who thinks he really needs cotton,
he would do well to borrow hog
from neighbor, sell it, and then buy
his cotton. There are not more than
ten farmers in Georgia that can make
even the smallest margin of profit by
raising cotton for ten cents pound,
and these farmers have their busi-
ness so systematized that there are
no leaks anywhere. Ordinarily, the
farmer who gets fifteen cents a pound
for his cotton makes Il profit that is
but shabb.ly related to the labor and
expenses of cultivatng his crop, and
this is the great secret of the proven
bial poverty Of the cotton farmer"

with which they fatten them. The

Respected Sir: Since my letter Of

matter, and find that the Bill acted
on during my illness, was to fix the
second Mondays in January and Ju-

The present Bill of Senator Driver,
fixing the time on the first Mondays
has passed the Senate, and is now in

showing for its defeat.

had not time to visit these works. We
