COTTON BAaGINa TRUST.
Its End May be Precipitsted at On
Early Day.


NEW YonE, Sept 1.-The Times says:
Southern farmers areondeavoring by every
means possible TO keep out OF the clutches
Of the jute bagging corner, and yesterday
dispatch was received at the cotton ex-
change Psking whether cotton would be
acceptable when put up in cotton sheet
ing. Some OF the insurance men object to
this, though none win positively refuse as
vet TO insure cotton when put up in that
manner. In the event Of their doing so,
some other means will have to be resorted
TO. The principal objection to sheeting is
that is wears out quickly and is very in
nammablc. The cottonsced trust people
and Others who have hitherto depended
on jutc baggng, have commenced sending
coiionsced in oiled paper bags IL Is be-
lieVed that ii both these schemes prove
successful the corner in jute bagging will
be soon ended.
A prominent man on Wall street said
yesterday: "ln 1867, n rich soulherner
learned OF the failure Of the India juic
crop, and Immediately cOrnered the crop
in the United States and shot the prices
up from % 60 30 cents. Another big cot
ton firm bid % cents ior very large
amount, but the owner Of the corner re-
fused 90 sell for less than IS cents This
figure was entirely too high, and a mum

and all the seams ripped out, whcrcupon
they served just as good purpose rs new

almost nothing and this is in my opinion,

Vote "AgainsI Convention"

From the Little Rock Gazette
The section of the act authorizing a vote
to DO taken September on the question
of calling a constitutional convention reads
as follows:
secilon |. That at the next general election 10 be
held in this State Tor the election Of state und
county officers there shall b. submitted 10 the
qualified electors OF this State the question OF call
Ing convention for the purpose OF framing n new
constitution for the State, 10 be Submitted 10 such
elocton for their ratification or rejection, and each
voter may declare his wishes at said election by
having the words, "For convention or Against
convention written or printed on his ticket aud
the vote thereon shall be taken IN the same way
that votes for the various State and county officers
are taken.
General and widespread discussion has
shown Q) that in the opinion Of many,
our constitution, like any other instrument
OF human continuance, might be improved;
(2) that of the persons who so believe, few
are united on any one material proposition
looking to a change; (3) that the more our
constitution is studied and compared with
the organic laws OF other States. the
stronger, better and more valuable IL APP
pears; CI) that under the operation OF this
constitution the people have been pro-
tected against waste and extravaganza,
they have been made secure in their rights
and privileges rs citizens, and have greatly
prospered as people; and (5) that, adj
hitting the existence OF defects, popular
opinion has settled down TO the conviction
that the present is not the time TO change
our organic law, and that, II there be evils,
| il were "better TO bear the ills we have
than fly TO those we know not Of" This
is sound conclusion; and it should be
emphasized on the 81 Of September by q
ing in numbers as TO virtually mean
unnnimiiY.
