NATIONAL COTTON CONVENTION
At the Worlds Exposition ut New Orleans
in February Next.


WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 2.-In October
last Secretary Frelinghuysen transmitted
invitations to all foreign governments 10
send delegates to participate in the Uni-
yersal Cotton Convention to be held in the
greathall Of the World's Exposition, at New
orleans, on the 10th Of February next,
under the auspices Of the National Cotton
Planters Association Of America. 1t is
said at the State Department that large
number Of governments accepted the in
vitation, among them Great Britain, in
Guiding India, Egypt and the English
colonies, Hayti, Italy, The Netherlands,
Norway and Sweden, Hawaii and Vene-
zuela. The National Cotton Painters AS
sociation requested President Arthur to
appoint two delegates from every Con-
gressional district in the union and also
ask the Governors OF all States to appoint
two delegates from every county.
United States Commissioner Loring will,
by the request OF the association, address
invitations to all agricultural societies in
the United States TO send delegates, and
Col. G, Fl. Parker, OF New Orleans, Secre-
tary of the National Cotton Exchange,
will endeavor to have delegates sent by
all American and foreign exchanges.
+. @. Moorhead, President OF the Ma.
tional Cotton Planters Association, now
in this city, says it has long been the pur-
pose Of the association TO make its next
annual meeting the nucleus for q uniyer-
sal cotton convention to be participated in
by representative men Of all parts OF the
world engaged in growing, handling
or manufacturing cotton, and likewise
inventors and makers OF improved imple-
ments and appliances used, or likely to
prove useful in the cotton industry. Mr..
Morehead says while the convention is
called the cotton convention 1t will in
clude all branches OF agriculture, because
il is the aim OF the association by foster
ing diversified industries to make cotton
surplus money crop. He predicts the
will have 1900 delegates.
Secretary Frelinghuysen in his letter OF
invitation to the foreign governments |
said: "While the proposed convention is |
not by statute OF Congress placed under |
the patronage Of the Federal Government
its relation to the Worlds Exposition is
such as to make 1t proper that this Gov
ernment should aid in all appropriate
ways to make the convention what 1t lis
designed to be, an opportunity for q COM
parison OF views OF the interested dele
gates from all parts ofthe world"

D1sTR1cT DEMOCRATS FIGURING
On ou.tlpE "oren.ively Partisan" Clerks
in, tho Dopartments-ThS Debt State
ment for Dscember-Natlonal Cotton
Convention at New orleans, La.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 2.-Cleye.
lands idea OF civil service reform, as pub
lished in his letter to George. William
Curtis, has stirred the old-time Democrats
OF the District into wonderful activity.
Already they are busy preparing lists Of
oiIice-holders in the departments whom
they deem offensive partisans," and they
propose to have ready by the 4th Of
March the political record Of enough
clerks for removal to make plenty Of
room for themselves. Some Of the older
patriots engaged in this important Demo:
cratic duty, are, it is true, scarcely able to
write what they propose shallb be used as
charges, but there are plenty of young
sters anxious to act as their amanuenses,
and the work will not halt for the want Of
willing hands.
Republican neighbors whose constant
employment and prosperity have been an
aggregation for many years to their less
fortunate Democratic acquaintance, are
now to be made to feel the change for
which the Presidentelect's letter marks
out the way. There is no concealment OF
the elation which has been created by the
document among these Slossbacks. In
their overflow ofspirits they take no pains
to hide their intentions, and Republicans
who have the honor OF being on speaking
terms with these good-natured citizens are
iranklytold they must 60.
In the feelingot resentment which such
information naturally creates, tue poor Re
publican "partisans' venture to suggest
meekly that there are other Democrats in
the country besides those in the District,
and they call attention to the fact that, the
latter having ro votes, their chances are
very poor for preferment. Such remarks
are attributed to spite-work on the part OF
the doomed creatures, and excused accord
ingly. but the thought that others may
step in ahead and reap the benefit OF the
la6ors of the District patriots makesan un-
comfortable chilliness crawl down the
Democratic spine at the mere possibility
OF such q calamity. 100
Being on the ground and having the
offices preempted, as it were, 1t would be
an outrage, they argue to themselves, to
be compelled to give way to outsiders who
have never experienced the tortures Of
Tantalus by being chained here in sight OF
the official food for which they have hun
gcred for years. Besides, the removals TO
be made will be the result OF district work,
based on a personal knowledge OF the
Offensive partisauship" which certain de-
partment office holders have been guilty
Of, and the outside brethren will recog.
nize the fact that in no other way could
the changes be made. Reasoning thus,
and trusting to political influence which is
always at hand II needed, this work OF
spotting partisans will go on.

extending nearly one hundred and fifty
miles, and fourteen feet thick. The party
spent fifteen minutes in the mines. They
then visited the Woodward Iron COM
pany's furnace and coal mine, a short dis
lance from the Birmingham Mineral road.
After few moments at each OF these
places they went to the Morris mines,
the southern terminus OF the SOUTH
ern arm OF the birmingham road, and on
the opposite OF Red mountain. Here
twenty-five feet of red fossil ore are dug
from the top OF the mountain, large pro
portion of the output going to Tennessee
and Georgia furnaces In the Chattanooga
district. From here the party returned to
the city, reaching here near 4ro'clock.
There was no speech making or ceIe-
monies OF any kind during the day. The

varied largely according to the quality.and
condition Of the crop. While some sold
as low as three cents pound, some Of the

and even eight cents for exceptional to-

from five to fYe and q hall. In quality II

ONLY TWO SAVED

Out Of Crew of seyen-A Bark Wrecked
on Hog Island.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 1.-Two Nor
wegian sailors entered the office Of Cars
Westergard, the Norwegian Consul, to-
day: They were the only survivors of the
bark Lena, which went to pieces off Hog
Island, Virginia, Sunday last. They re-
late that the bark was in a dense fog
which hung over the seas for days and
was considerable out Of her course. satur-
dly afternoon the fog lifted and the
weather cleared. During the mates
watch about 4 o'clock the vessel shook
from. stem to stern. She had stranded,
aud the wind was blowing and the sea
running very high. In q moment the
Lena was well upon the bar, the waves
beating over her with fury. 1t was bitter
colo, and with the coating Office on the decks
and rigging made the movement OF
those on board exceedingly perilous. An
effort to launch boats was disastrous
failure. Each was broken to splinters. by
the raging sea. The crew then clung to
the ship full twenty-four hours, their
hands and feet benumbed and frost bitten,
when the vessel went to pieces and every
person on board was precipitated into the
waves. The etwosurvivors, Anders Isakens
and Peters A. Tonnesen, seized some
planks and were carried ashore. The
bodies Of Captain Mortensen and Abram
Carlson, sail maker, were washed up and
buried on the beach at Hog Island. None
Of the other bodies were recovered. Theo-
dore Joegensen was mate, and there were
seven seamen. The captain was aged 30
and leaves a wife in Norway.
