Especial telegram TO the Dispatch.I
STANTON, Va, April %, 1884.
The Executive Committee of the West
ern Lunatic Asylum. consisting OF Colonel
William l.. Bumgardner and X. w. Burke,
of Staunton, Messrs. Asher Harmon, OF
Rockbrdge, Thomas W. Waller, OF spot
sylvania, and ii. b. Harnsberger, OF Rock
ingham, met to-day at the call OF the chair
man, Colonel Bumgardner, to examine into
the finances of the Asylum.
The committee having heard a report
from DR.. Fauntleroy, the Superintendent,
determined to call together at once the
special investigating committee, which was
appointed by the Board on the 18th instant.
President Bumgardner summoned the
committee by telegraph tonight. The in
vestigatlng committee consists OF Messrs.
j. b. Russell, Of Winchester; Samuel f..
Coleman, OF Cumberland, and A. Broadus,
of Page.
The President was further directed to
call together the whole Board at an early
day TO receive the report OF the investiga-
ting committee.
The gentlemen OF the Executive Com
mittee are very rcticent about what has
transpired to-day, but it is understood that
they found themselves embarrassed for
funds, OH account OF the course pursued
by the late administration.
The coming municipal election is begin
ming TO attract much interest. The new
City Executive Committee have decided
on ordering primary, and have reported
plan for the primary TO be held on the
10th OF May. Mayor j. A. Cochran has de-
clined denomination. William j. Nelson
has been called on and declined. Mr.. A.
G.. Gordon, formerly OF Charlottesville, is
the only candidate yet announced.
and, it is understood, will run an indie
pendent ticket outside Of the primary for
the City Council and probably for Mayor
also.

The Dispatch said what 1t did yesterday
about Mr.. BEEcHER as persuasive argu.
ment to show that II the Republicans could
tolerate such Free Trader as BEEcHER,
and evea propose TO send him as delegate
to their National Convention, the Demo-
crsts ought to be al least as liberal in their
treatment OF the RANDALL Democrats.
Also, to snow that the men who quoted
BEEcHER's free-trade utterances knew
that Notwithstanding these he win vote for

DEATH OF r. Z. ELLIOTT.

Robert B. Elliott, colored, died in New
Orleans on the 18th instant, of malarial
fever. A few years ago Elliott was prom
inent figure in South Carolina politics. He
declined reelection to Congress in 1874, after
serving one term, and was elected to the
Legislature from Aiken county, and on the
assembling of the Legislature he was elect
ed Speaker of the House. 1t was believed
at that time Elliott's change of position from
the national to the State Legislature was
brought about by certain holders of fraudu-
lent South Carolina securities who expect
ed to have them recognized by the Legis-
lature through Elliott's influence. Whether
they were as successful in this as in having
Elliott elected Speaker is not generally
known.
In 1876 Elliott was the candidate for At
torney General on the Republican ticket
and was, of course, defeated with the bal
ance of the nominees. After that memora-
BILE campaign Elliott resumed the practice
of law, and although we'll educated and
possessing more than ordinary ability, he
soon virtually abandoned the law and IN
1880 he was appointed special agent OF the
Treasury Department. He was delegate
to the Republican National Convention in
1880 and supported John Sherman for the
Presidency, and it is said that his appoint
ment as special agent was the reward for
this service He was, during several cam
paigns, chairman of the Republican State
Executive Committee and conducted the
campaigns of the party with considerable
ability. For several years he has resided
in New Orleans and has taken no active
part in politics in South Carolina.

THE COTTON CROP.

The latest report of the Department of
Agriculture at Washington reports the con-
dition of cotton improved in Virginia, Ten
nessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas.
The improvement is especially manifest in
Mississippi and Louisiana. In North Car
olina and Georgia the average status is un-
changed since the July report. In South
Carolina, Florida and Alabama excessive
rains have caused a weedy growth and
shedding of forms, and has prevented cult
walton. In Texas the drought has caused
the loss of one point and raised serious ap-
prehensiOns for the future. The tempera-
ture of the past month has been either nor
NAL or higher than the average in the Mis-
sissippi valley and lower on the Atlantic
coast, and in the Alabama region there is
report of increased rainfall.
The cotton moth has appeared in the
Gulf States, and worms are reported in a
few counties, but no damage has as yet re-
suited. The plants generally are reported
late and deficient as yet in fruitage, but in
condition to give good results with favora-
BILE weather, and if not in ured from frost
or snow. There is heavy depreciation
with continued excess of rains in one section
and drought in another.
The average Of condition has advanced
from So in July to little above 81. So far
this is favorable, as in the SIX years OF the
past ten August reports have shown de-
cline from the record of the preceding
month, except those of 1876, 1880 and 1882. ,
The State averages are: Virginia SS,
North Carolina 81, South Carolina 81, Geor-
gia 80, Florida 81, Alabama 80, Mississippi
80, Louisiana S5, Texas 79, Arkansas 81,
Tennessee 92. The advices since the first of
the month indicated improvement from
seasonabe rains in Texas.

has been harmonious and thoroughly sue
cessful, judging from the continued atten-
dance and close attention of the teachers, as
we'll as from the general expression of satis-
faction. No previous Institute had done so
large an amount of work, or had had so
large and continuous an attendance of teach
ers. This was the more gratifying in an
Institute held the second time at the same
place, and when the attractions of novelty
or curiosity were no longer present. DR..
Joynes congratulated Colonel Coward on
this result, as showing that Normal Institute
work in this State had reached safe and
solid ground, and was now a recognized
power in public education.
After thanking the Faculty of Wofford
College and the citizens of Spartanburg for
their hospitalities, DIR. Joynes presented the
successful candidates for the certificates of
the Institute, Mr.. Mark l.. Carlisle and Mr..
F.. Girardeau Chandler, who, though al
ready in possession of certificates of author
ity to teach, had stood voluntarily search
ing examination Of two days in order to
secure the endorsement of the highest tribu-
nal-a happy omen of professional ambition
among our public school teachers.
Colonel Coward then, in brief and feel
ing address presented the certificates, thank
ed the principal and faculty for their able
and successful work, and closed with few
words of congratulation and encouragement
to the teachers present DR.. Carlisle fol-
lowed in short valedictory address, in
which he dwelt upon the motives and re-
wards of the teachers life. The venera-
BILE DR.. Whiteford Smith, who had serv-
ed the institute as Chaplain, pronounced the
benediction; then, with hand-shaking, warm
farewells, and general good wishes, the as
sembly dispersed. Some of the farewells,
bly not be final. Thus closed the fifth Nor
NAL Institute, with the general verdict that
it had been full of pleasure and of profit to
all who attended it.-C0l,nabia Register.

MERE.MENTION.

The merchants adjacent to Athens, Geor-
gia, are selling great deal of cotton to be
delivered next next winter. One dealer

ably good in North Carolina this year. The
farmers of that State never had fuller grana-
ries or more cheerful prospects. Mr..
Williams, the roadmaster of the Airline

suicide a few days ago by drinking lauda-
mum. He was stationed at Central, and was

for the act. .'''''''''The first bale of new crop
cotton was received at Selma, Ala, last
