income derived from it was $500 year.
The ladies made the purchase and took pos.

"I.ucicn was in the habit OF sleepinE with a

There was table close b, on which the

In confirmation Of Oscar Alces's statement.

In the CHRONICLE today appears
another letter from our inquiring cor
respondent. These repeated inquiries
lead us to believe that something has
taken place at third party headquar-
ters in this city, chat the usual order
of affairs has been changed, and that
some who were conspicuous in the
cause of the third party during the re-.
cent campai IN will not be allowed to
80 the even tenor Of their way as here
tofore. A change is demanded by
public decency, and a material change
is demanded by the interest Of
the alliance. We are glad that
the matter has been un-
der consideration. It needs to be
further considered in seriousness.
These men who have def.med by their
writings every prominent democrat in
the state, who haze attempted to des-
troy the e9nhl nee IF the people il
those whom III y ha<, long trusted and
honored, who have advised and ap-
proved prescription and encouraged

deserve T. remain in places where
they may exert any influence in shap-
ing public opinion about anything. The
men who wrote in their newspapers
that Thomas NJ. Holt was not loyal
to the best interest Of North Carolina
that Elias Carr was a traitor to III At
interest, that n. w. Ransom anG
Z. B. Vance would sell their influence
against North Carolina, and that S. b

THE PRICE OF COTTON.
rI,t II -,


The well known cotton authority ,of
New Orleans, Mr.. H. ~ Neil, on the
I'd of November estimated the cotton
crop at 100000 bales. But in a re-
cent circular issued by Mr.. Neil a
sweeping revision is made, and his
former figures are reduced by 100000
bales This reduction he says is made
in consequence of the killing frost of
the 10th, which will prevent the late
b0lls from maturing. Mr.. Neil now
estimates the total of this years growth
OF cotton at 6,500,000 bales, and says
that the period has been reached when
there will be no material variance of
this estimate. The present price Of
cotton will prove great boon to many
planters, bat there are many, however,
who were compelled by their needs to
sell early, and these will not receive
any benefit. In this immediate con-
neetion Az inquiry arises in regard to
the value Of geld Suppose gold was
no dearer % day than it was in 1873,
would not the psice of cotton be a
cent or two higher than it is to day:
L: there was double standard, gold
and silver, would not such a currency
be beneficial to prices? Gold has in.
creased in value, while an ounce OF
silver will buy as much cotton to da,
as il would have bought in 1873.
