A Black Eye for Jste Bagglng.

NEW YORK, Sept. THE board Of
managers of the New York Cotton Elk.
change to Cay received the following
communication.
The National Board of Marine Under.
writers, 25 William Street, New York,
September New York Cotton Ex
change In view OF the
present agitation of the bagging question
throughout the South, the cotton under
writers ofthis board, at their meeting to-
day, passed the folluwing resolution:
Whereas, it having become known 10
the cotton underwriters and to the ns-
tional board of marine underwriters that
for a portion of this seasons Drop
certain changes in style for cov-
ering of bales might be adopted,
and that the expression Of their iuten
tions in view of possible change is
desired; be it.
Resolved, That The cotton underwriters
of this beard will make no discrimination
against cotton covered with any light
weight, cIosewoven material OF ressoua
BILE strength, provided that the difference
in weight between the material used and
good quality bagging be compensated by
extra bands, lsay eight or nine TO the
bale, instead of five or six,l and that
sample bales be efectualIy covered. As
our previous communicatinn TO you
indicates, j; is the beliefut the commits
tee investigating this subject that TO q
large exttnt appalling k:sses by fire
during past seasons have been due to
the bagging used in covering the cottun,
and that q fimsy, loose woven cloth, with
the fibre standing out from the surface is
as inaammabIe as cotton itself. The
change, therefore, to any woven material
cannot, in their opinion, involve addition.
al risk. 1t is also apparent that changes
in The style ofcovering and binding could
be introduced ut very slight additional
cost that would render fires in American
cotton as rare as with Indian and Egyp
tian. The committee believe that the
use of close woven burlap, l8 ounces or
l pound 10 the yard, or what is called
hop sacking, "a ounces or u pounds to
the yard, or their equivalent, with two
or three additional bands, and With care
used to thoroughly cover the bale, would
bring immunity from large portion of
the loss by fireand the relief of the indus.
try from marine insurance rates as now
charged.
This subject would seem of sufficient
importance to receive the attention oil
any Convention that might be held Of
those interested in the cptton industry.
If change and improvement in the
method of covering and pressing is not
made, it is quite possible that underwri
ters will, by combined action withdraw
from business. BY order of the chair
" T. CONES. Vice President.

WASHINGTON, September 7.-Dis,
patches report killing frost last night
over all New England, Northern New
York and Michigan. Ice as thick as
window glass formed in many places.
Every variety of green vegetable has
suffered and canning interests are much
discouraged. The sweet corn crop of
Maine, Of which an enormous amount is
canned every year, is almost totally de-
stroyed. The ordinary corn crop was
backward in the territory defined aud
will suffer heavy damage. Grapes, toma-
toes and other market garden produce
also suffer. Last night frost did great
damage to the Connecticut tobacco crop,
which, prior to the frost, promised to be
the best for several years.

AUGUSTA, GA, Sept. 10.

of two weeks, which have pressed and

and washed out the mouldy stain of 1872
and rose one inch higher, making thirty

THE STORY IN DETAIL.
Two weeks ago the foodgates of heaven
we're opened. The waters from the
mountains of Rabun, from the hill coun:
Try of South Carolina, gathered in 9
Thousand rills5 and creeks pouring into
the Savannah, gathering strength as well
astyolume as they rolled onward to the
sea. The people stood by the banks and
watched the driftwood as it foated down
TO the Atlantic. The bosom Of the river
5Widened and the onlookers retreated.
The waters continued to widen as the
waters continued to fall, until the river
bed was full; and the lowlands we're
covered, and they began to lave at
the foundationsof the cottage on the
hillside.
With a swishing sound the foods from
the up country began beating against the
3canal bank thia morning: Gentle at first,
each wave gained strength until at last
3it became as the lashing ofa giant against
"a wall Of granite. With heavier stroke
each wave returned until the trickling
stream frat found vent, followed by the
last grand dash; which swept before it

BY DENYING THEM.
He then declared that he had said to
the governor, when parting with him at
Black kville, that if be had wounded his
feelings in any way during the canvass
he regretted it, to which the governor
replied that be had not done 80, and
they had parted gooa friends. The con
vention applauded the statement. A
few minutes afterwards Governor Rich
ardson was noticed entering the ball,
escorted by Captain Tillman and Mr..
Livingston. BE was escorted to the
platform and returned his thanks for the
evidence that the conyention had just
given of its confidence in bis administra.
tion, and for the handsome manner in
which it had yindicated him from the
charges made against bis private cbarac-
ter during the campaign. His eloquent
address was literally a2plauded.
Col. Munro, of Union, nominated
Lieutenant Governor Mauldin, of Green.
vile, for lieutenant governor, which was
seconded by DR.. Pope, OF Newberry.
Lieutenant Governor Mauldin was then
renominated by acclsmation. A com
mittee, consisting of Col. Munro, DR..
Pope and Mr.. Gary, of Abbeville, e.cort-
ed Lieutenant Governor Mauldin to the
platform, and he was presented to

thanked the convention for the honor
conferred, aed predicted harmony in the
ranks of the party and the Usual Demo
cratic victory.
