Correspondence State Chronicle.
MAcHPELAa, N. c., Feb. IL
have Just received the CHRONICLE of
the 4th inst. containing Mr.. Bells ar
ticle in which he insinuates that the
Business Agency Fund of the Alliance
is being improperly used in aid of the
"Third party" Now Mr.. Bell is
either very ignorant as to Alliance
matters or else he wilfully misrepre-
sents. Not one cent of the fund has
ever been used for an improper pur-
pose, but has been steadily kept accord.
ing to the conditions on which con-
tributed. Nor has any application
ever been made to me to loan any of it
for any political purpose. The fund
is contributed as security fund for
the Business Agency, and can not be
put into active use. If any of it is
used in paying any debt of the agency
and the debt cannot be collected the
money is replaced from dividends on
the fund. And one agreement in con
tributing it is that in case "the State
Alliance ever ceases to exist" the con-
tribution shall be returned to the con-
tributors.
Mr. Bell is entirely mistaken as to
the reason that causes some contribu-
tors to wish change concerning the
fund. 1t is objected that it is "bound
up too tight" and they wish to get re-
strictions removed so that it can be
used in active business = the trustee
refusing to let it be so used. 1t is not
to make it more safe in any way
Wherever any of the fund has been de.
posted as security for accounts of the
State Business Agent it is done on
condition that it is only to be used to
protect "over-drafts" in his business
and he has no power to use it other
wise-and the condition is 80 stated in
receipts by the bank officers receiving
the collaterals.
If MIR Bell had contributed any.
thing to the fund which he seems sc
anxious to save for distribution per.
haps he would have examined the con
ditions surrounding it more carefully
before-writing articles ref scting OF
the trustee to whom its keeping is en-
trusted.
Very Respectfully,
w. A. GRAHAM,
Trustee B. A. Fund,

Last Years Cotton Crop.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The Febru-
ary returns to the department of agricul
ture, which relate to cotton, give the
county estimates Of the crop compared
with that of last year, proportion that
has left the plantation, average date of
cost of picking, insect losses, etc. The
consolidation of the returns of compare
tive crops make the following state per
centage:
Virginia 55 per cent, North Carolina
73, South Carolina IS, Georgia "a, Flor.
ida so, Alabama 65, Mississippi go,
Louisiana IS, Texas "a, Arkansas So,
Tennessee 81. The general average is
692. No allowance is made for under
estimate of the crop or overestimate of
the distribution in proportion of the
crop received at ports. In stocks of in
terror towns, in the hands of merchants
unreported and en- route from planta
tions is thus stated as reported by the
county correspondents:
Virginia SO, North Carolina IS, South
Carolina 81, Georgia 80, Florida 80,
Alabama 80, Mississippi SO, Louisiana 80,
Texas 81, Arkansas 81, Tennessee &c.
The general average is $40. The
quality is fairly good, as a rule,
although much better on the
Atlantic coast and in Texas
than in interior areas. In later picking
cotton was much discolored by frost. In
most states the average yield of lint is
reported at 80 per cent. Average dates
of close of picking are as follows: Vir-
ginia, November 80; North Carolina,
December 1; South Carolina. December
/; Georgia, November q; Florida, No
vember 18th; Alabama, November 2s;
Mississippi, December 3; Louisiana, De-
cember 4; Texas, December IS; Arkan-
sas, December 16 Tennessee, December s..
Losses from insect depredations rela
lively small, no losses reported north of
Georgia and Gulf states, except in Ar
kansas. The boil worm did more dam
age than the caterpillar, mainly in Miss
issippi and in other states west of the
river. The caterpillar was especially in
furious in Alabama. A relatively large
proportion of seed have been sold to oil
mills on account of the small size of crop
and high price of oil in sympathy with
the advance of lard. Reported price
varies according to accessibility of mills
from Is to 25 cents per bushel. In some
sections planters have been induced to
sell by liberal payment in fertilizers.

AbdicatiOn Proposed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1O.-A cores
pondent of the Call at Honolulu sends
the following in regard to the visit to
this country of Paul Newman and Prince
Kawluaukos, commissioners of ex-Queen
Liluokalani. The facts relating the OBJ
ject of the visit of the ex queens COM
missioners to Washington have been OBJ
tanned from the best authority and are
briefly as follows: Royal power of at
torney, if it may be so called, on author
ity, has been prepared and signed in tri
plicate, in which her late majesty agrees
to resign ana quit claim all her right title
and interest, together with any claim she
believes she still has in abrogated monar
chy of Hawaii forever; provided her
commission can prevail upon the United
States government to give her good and
valuable consideration for such relln-
quishment. 1t is understood that her
late majesty holds one of these docu-
ments, her commissioners another, and
the United States minister third. New
man refuses to be interviewed as to the
facts OF the case.

THE UNIVERSITY.

We are glad to see that Senator
Pou has introduced a bill to have the
State property at the University put
in repair and to provide for that insti-
tuition suitable sanitary arrangements.
The oldest building at the University
has floors in it a century old and now
nearly worn out. For several years
much carpentry patch work has been
done there; but this is false economy,
and the point is now reached where
entire renovation is necessary. 1t is
the plain duty of the State to keep this
property in repair.
No less is it plain duty
to provide a water supply, with bats.
closets, &C., all such sanitary arrange
ments as are deemed essential to health
and decency. Let no false nor petty
ideas of economy prevent early action
in this matter.
The State has University Of which
it may well be proud, a University
the peer Of any in the south in the
quality Of its intellectual, moral anc
physical culture. Now let de-
cent material equipment be pro
vided. Let everybody unite il
sustaining this great institution. IT.
policy is not only progressive, but il
broad, liberal and in perfect sympathy
with our people. Its influences il
powerful and entirely wholesome. l
is accomplishing much to build up, de
velop, and strengthen North Carolina
Let it be sustained.

LET US not be mlsled as to the po-
litical situation in North Carolina.
We believe the democratic party is
invincible, because of its sound and
correct principles, but no party can
maintain its ascendancy without a
careful husbandry of its resources
Our political foes are now organizing
and to meet them successfully there
must be no relaxation of efforts te
keep up democratic organization.

STATE PRINTINC.

The Democratic caucus yesterday on
this subject passed the following reso-
luton
"Resolved, That the joint commit
tee on printing be instructed to let
out the State printing at the lowest
reasonable price, all things considered
and that said committee i, also in
structed to make contract to that eff
feet and submit the same to the eau
Gus at some future day."
This looks like getting down to bus
iuess, and the CHRONICLE gives its
hearty endorsement to all moves on
such lines.

No Money For the Uoa.t Linz

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The house
committee on postofices and post roads
has decided not to consider the request
OF the Atlantic Coast Line for share in
the subsidy for special mail facilities
from New York to southern points and
now the committees appropriation bill
has been reported to the house, Coast
Line people will have to take the matter
to that body. Postmaster general is op-
posed to this appropriation which car
rles$196, 600 and it is thought if it is
in any way agitated in the house some
OF the retrenchers will strike it out of
the bill and roads who are to be bene.
fited by it will be left out.

A Card From the Com mittee.

Editor OF the Chronicle.
The statements in the CHRONICLE
Of yesterday in regard to the railroad
controversy are incorrect and mislead
ing, and do injustice to the chairman
Of the House committee. The bill re-
jected by the committee was not pre-
pared by Mr.. Spruill and was not in
any sense his bill. No sub committee
was appointed to see if better propo-
sition would not be made.
The sub committee was simply in
structed to inform the authorities of
the Wilmington and Weldon railroad
company that the proposition submitted
was not satisfactory.
There was no elation felt or ex-
pressed at the defeat Of the bill consid-
cred.
The committee is unanimous in de.
string just and equitable settlement,
and the only difference is difference
Of opinion as to the towns.
We deem this statement due to our
chairman, who has the confidence and
respect of the committee, and to the
committee.

eve publish the above with pleas
u-e. 1t is our wish to make our re-
ports accurate at all times, and especi
ally about such an important matter
/ Is to be regretted that the committee
did not point out the material inaccur
acies Of our report. The facts were
oh aimed from member of the ioin,
com nittee, and as they are substan
italy correct we deem it unne cesar,
to point out the immaterial differences
Ia regard to the expression, "Mr
Spruill's BILL" this was used by oul
reporter simply to distinguish the
proposition, as everybody knows that
no bill has been introduced yet, ant
this was fully explained in a recen
editorial in the CHRONICLE. Th,
proposition is embodied in memoran
DUN, and several who made speeche
before the joint committee designate,
the proposition as the "Spruill bill.
We cheerfully make the correction
again, and rs we have not misled, W
only disclaim any purpose to be un
just, and shall feel as elated as an
one when a just and equitable settle
ment is made -EDIroR

A good suggestion, that, made by the
late Chief Justice Merrimon, for the en-
ployment of an historian to compile his
torical matters relative to North Carolina
and the part her patriotic sons have
borne in every bloody conflict since
Washington crossed the Delaware. We
know of no one any..better squipped in
every particular for this special work
than our old friend and scholar, Col.
John D. Cameron, of Asheville. To him
such task would be pleasure, while

it would be worth hundreds and thou
