The commission recently appointed
by the Treasury Department to in
vestigate the alleged smuggling of
Chinese women and children into
the United States by the way of
British Columbia, submitted their re-
port, from which it appears that the
practice com planned OF was not gen.

o'clock this morning took Henry Col

The Queens Condition.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Specials
saying that the Queen of England
contemplates abdicating, state that
the reasons for this most unexpected
course are her Majesty's fast failing
health, and an increasing unwilling
ness. and sometimes inability, on her
part to perform the duties consistent
with her government. For some
years the Queen has been a mild be-
lever in spiritualism. She thought
the spirit OF her dead husband used
to assist her in working out questions
which perplexed her. Since the death
OF her ~faverite servant, John Brown
she has been very much d~eprossed
and finally it was necessary
to remove. her to BalmOraI,
where some of her hapriest
days were spent with the husband of
her youth. l am told that some very
pathetic scenes took place at her last
Visit there. She seemed to feel the
actual presence of her dead Prince
and talked as though he were by her
side: This and other occurrences
frightened and alarmed her daughter
Beatrice greatly, and she insisted
that some other members Of the fami-
ly should come down at once.
1t was t~elegraphed from London nv
the Ambassador of a great power r.
his sovereign on Wednesday last that
the abdication of the Queen of Enc.
and was Impending and would prob
ably occur very soon. The break
down of her health has been followed
by a melancholy of most pronounced
type. 1t seems not to be generally
known that the trouble With the
Queens knee comes from a LARGE
ulcer of a scrofulous and cancero5s
nature, that has formed under her
knee, and in spite Of all that can he

Mad Dogs.

Elsewhere in this ndmber of the
Journal will be found an account of
little seven-year old girl bitten by
mad dog In Dooly county. The
child had been bitten forty-three days
before any symptom of hydrophobia
appeared. After the intensest suffer-
ing for five days the child died. This
is only one instance out of a dozen
that might be stated where persons
or other animals have recently been
bitten by mad dogs at large. 1t Ii
of the utmost Importance, therefore,
that every old stray cur should be
watched, and with the least demon
stration to bite, should at once be
put to death. Almost every news
paper that comes to our office is
filled with accounts of mad dogs, and
it is well!enough, therefore, that every
one should be on the alert. What we
need is dog law, and, then, the
country would not be infested With
so many worthless ours.

The Campaign.

So far, the campaign, in Terrell
has been characterized by infinitely
good humor. The campaign in which
Norwood ran against Colquitt had
one good effect at least 1T taught
the people to value personal friend
ships higher than politics. During
tho pendency of the present cam,
paign, or the campaign which prac-
tically ended last Tuesday, nobody,
SO far AS we know, has been at all
disposed to become inhaned OF
chagrined over the defeat of his
particular favorite. But throughout
the entire canvass, every thing has
gone off pleasantly with the utmost
good humor. Friends have met day
after day upon our streets, dealt and
paTied blows with a freedom that
none could take but friends, aud, yet,
no words of bitterness have ensued
nor any sting of personal feeling has
been left. Those who were friends
before are friends yet, and friends
they will remain SO far as politics
are concerned.

While but few people, we appre-
bend, will be, disposed to give to the
Journal any credit for the great
revolution wrought in the past year
or two in our system of farming, we
shall be content to know that the
change is, nevertheless, steadily 60
ing on. The farmers of Terrell, in
our judgement, never had q brighter
promise of hope held out before them
than now, and if they will but con-
tlnne to pursue the policy that we
have 40 earnestly advocated since
our connexion with the press, we have
no doubt but what they will reap the
reward in due time. We have not
failed at any time to advocate the
farmers interest as above every other
interest, and this we shall continue
to do.

tOAA Sts - CcIItS. ~ Il OtHIIO.
We direct alnention to an article on
our editorial page from the Eufaula
Bulletin which we want all our far
merS to read. 1t is on the same line
of thought respecting the planting of
cotton that the Joarnal has had occa-
sion so often OF late to advert. Far
mcr, answer this one question. Can
you afOrdto raise cotton at eight cts. I
You answer, no. We can't do it.
Why, then do you persist in course
of policy that must inevitably bring
you in debt? But you say, it is the
only thing that we can get money for.
Suppose it is, don't you pay it all right
out to the laborer that made the cot
ton ! Yes and often times even after
you have done this he leaves you ow
ing for supplies furnished him. There
is not man in :his county that will
admit that he can afford to raise cot
ton at 8 cts. pound, and, vet, he
goes straight on planting it, year after
year, as though he expected to get
twenty cents for it. But you say.
what are we to plant Plant corn,
plant sweet potatoes, plant sugar cane,
plant ground peas, field peas, chufas,
Irish potatoes, cOlards, pumpkins,
onions, broom corn and everything
else before you plant cotton at 8 cts.
o pound.
