That Crooked Election.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 23.-The
stealing of the Plumm erville county bal
lot box last November is about to be
cleared up. Warren Taylor, young
man of Morrilton, has been arrested or

scared, and has turned States evidence

Sir L9uncelOt.

Near Camelot the rivers meet
The lane where once he rode with her;
He rides and sees dull wind stir
The paIlid waters at his feet.
He hears the windless thickets stirred
BY some wild creature. Der the grass
He sees the hawks gray shadow pass,
Yet knows it not from leaf or bird.
For he has come where fancies reign;
Now though he fees he soou returns;
Like flames his heart within him burns;
His mind is like turning vane.
In crypts he vainly tries to pray;
There troop the burdens of gay songs;
In crowded inns he jests of wrongs.
But feels his great heart giving way.
His soul is like hunted thing
'Twixt hell and heaven. Each kiss tina
drew
Their lips together thrills anew,
Andthen becomes a serpent's sting.

SHORT OF WATER.

The climate provoked an Unsuitable
thirst, and the water was the first supply
to fail. There is a little stream hard by,
but the water is strongly alkaline to
drink. The railroad tank that takes it's
supply by gravity pipe from distant
and elevated spring, afforded the only
possible drinkable water, and it is brack-
ish. 1t was attacked by thousands of
people, until the railway officials called
military protection, under the pretense
that they needed the water to operate
the road.

The Jpte Baggi,ls Fight.

On JancS last, Hon j. III. Kim
b,rro';gh, Sfaster Georgia State
Grange, wrote to Mr.. John Rox-
burg, President Of the liverpool
Cotton Association, m organization, i,
corresponding to the Cotton Elk.
change of New York, in which he
made the following points:
That the present loss of s per
cent. is unjust, and is robbing the
American cotton producers OF
s9,0O0,OO0 annually.
Ties, bagging or canvas, as it is
called in England. weighs only
twenty pounds TO the bale, willis
the customary tare is thirty pounds.
Cotton bagging or canvas and ties
will weigh only about fourteen
pounds to the bale.
MIR. RoXburg was urged to con-
slder the cotton bagging on its
merits, and to reduce tare to cor
respond with the weight of cotton
bagging and ties.
A reply was received June oath
to tho effect that the association
would consider the matter and re-
port.
Mr.. Kimbrough waited until yes
terday, August IS, for reply and
then wired tho association as fol-
lows:
John Roxburg, President Liver
pool Cotton Association, England .
Any probability of a reduction of
tarc on cotton? Answer.

The following reply was received
this morning:

M. Kimbrough, Master Georgia

citation condemns the use of cotton
bagging and cannot see it's way to
lcgislate on the subject.
JOHN RoxnURG,
President.
This brings on the fight in earnest
between the cotton producers and
the cotton consumers, and, if pro-
tractcd to great length, must have
very serious results on the commerce
of this country and England. 1t is
to be hoped that some early adjust
mcnt may yet be reached, so that
the farmers of the South may be-
able to dispose Of their cotton as
fast as harvested, at fair prices, re-
gardlcss of its being packed in jute
