surplus on the 3lst of December,

Cotton Crop of 1895.

Hon. Hector D. Lane, of Ala
bama, President of the Cotton
Growers Protective Association,
has furnished the following signifi-
cant memorandum for publication
to the people of the South.
cit goes without saying that il
anything like Scent cotton on plan,
tation is witnessed next year a gen
eraI crash will ensue. Real estate
and securities of all kinds will reach
level in the South as few car
imagine.
European spectators are to-day
selling cotton in Liverpool for de.
livery in October, November, De.
cember, 1895, with price equiva-
lent to about cents on farms in
the South for middling or cents
at the ports, believing that another
$500, 900 bale crop, or lar
ger, will be grown in America,
which would insure them a profit of
at least cent per pound, which
would mean to the farmer about
3 cents at the railroad stations next
autumn when cotton is moving in
large volumes.
EUROPEANS NOT BLIND.
cit is not to be supposed that
these shrewd European cotton peo-
pie are aggressively selling the
next crop at equal to 4 cents unless
they have excellent reason for be-
lieving that the South will plant
for another monster crop. They
are confident, on information fur
nished them, that Texas will not
decrease its ACREAGE; therefore, be-
lieving this to be true to such an
extent that they will be able to buy
back during next fall the cotton
they are now selling at much lower
prices, realizing thereby handsome
profits.
sit remains with the farmers and
Of the South to say
whether these European spectators
will be permitted to reap a golden
harvest at the expense of the farms,
plantations, towns, real estate and
securities of the South"

That DELAYED Mail.

A representative of the RECoRD-UNION
called upon Postmaster Leake yesterday
and asked him if he had any statement to
make in regard to the claim made by
George G. Ross that his mail had been
delayed in the Sacramento Postotiice
MIR. Leake said: ''It is rule of the de-
partment when mail matter is received at
Postoff1ce without street and mum ber
efforts should be made to locate the per-
son addressed. In other words, the alb
sence OF street and number on mail
matter is not sufficient reason for its
nOn-dellVery.
The mail that Mr.. Ross complains of
reached this office on Monday night
without bearing any stated address. A
seafcn was made through the records OF
the once and the only George Ross that
| coulo De located in sacramento was the
real estate agent at 1908 Fourth street
where the mail was delivered on Tues
day
Mr.. Ross opened one of the letters and
aScertalned that the mail was not for him.
II e made the proper Endorsement upon
the letter and dropped it with the other
ihall matter In street letter box, where
IL was collected by a letter-carrier and re-
turned 10 this Office on Tuesday night.
IN the meantime we had ascertained tnat
George I. Ross was stopping at the Capt.
tai Rotel and all of his mail matter was
sent to him at that place on "Wednesday
morning.
The only just complaint that Mr.. Ross
can nave against the attaches Of the Sac
fainento Postotfice is that in their earnest
desire to promptly deliver the mail they
unfortunately located the wrong Ross"

Both Senate and Assembly are now
practically in working order, except that
the various committees have not yet been
appointed.
The proceedings yesterday were not of
great public interest, except those in the
joint convention of the two houses, held
for the purpose of canvasslng and declar-
ing the result of the late election for Gov
ernor and Lieutenaut-Governor Even
that was very tame affair, as no contest
was made, and the vote Of each county
as declared was the same as published in
the RECORD UNION on the 2Sth of De-
cember. James II. Budd was declared
elected Governor and Spencer G. Millard
Lieutenant Governor.
In the Assembly there was perfect
avalanche of resolutions for the appoint
ment of additional attaches, all of which.
however, were referred to the Committee
on Attaches.
Committees were appointed to arrange
the details of the Inauguration ceremo-
MES, which are to take place in the AS
sembly Chamber at noon to-day.
The contest for the United States
Senatorship is getting very warm. 1t is
said that forty five Republicans attended
the joint convention last night and
pledged themselves to Perkins, but the
De Young men claim that they are sure
of electing their man. They say that all
of the men claimed for Perkins will not
vote that way, and if they do that will
not elect him Senator.

ALLEGED CRUELTY.
An Officer is Charged With Beating an
Iuoffensive Man.

Inofensive Man.
a hackman named Frank Duffy was
lined - % yesterday by Justice Davis on
charge OF disturbing the peace OF officer
Rutherford.
1he affair grew out of the arrest by
Rutherford, few nights since, of an old
eX-soIdier. Duffy ana others who claim
to have witnessed the arrest of the old
man, had severely criticised the officer
Tor beating his prisoner. On Thursday
morning rutherford met Duffy, who
wears tall hat, and said: "Pd like tn
take shot at that hat ~ This elected a
retort from Duffy, who reproached the
olhcer Tor beating the old man when he
arrested him.
Some words followed, and Rutherford
arrested Duffy for disturbing his peace.
IN the Po!lce Court he testified that
DuIy applied vile epithet to him. but
| witnesses for the defense swore that
Duty did not. However, Justice Davis
! heIu that Duly had disturbed the peace.
! ana Hneu him in the sum named.
The last has not been heard of the mat
ter, Tor as soon as Duffy was arrested he
went TO lawyer Hiram johnson and re-
/ talheu MN TO prepare and prosecute
charges against Officer Rutherford.
Duty says he can prove by mauv wit
nesses that the old soldier was aunovinp
nobody at the time Rutherford an
preached him, and that there was no oc-
casion for the officer clubbing him ana
Knocking him down. He says further
tnat when stranger demonstrated with
the officer, the latter also beat him with
his club. The affair occurred after
O'Clock at night at Seventh and X streets.
Duly says he will also file another and
different charge against the officer.
" neither OF not his charges can be sus-
tanned remains 10 be seen. Rutherford
denies that he used unnecessary force in
arrestlng the eX-soldier. II is a matter
that the City Trustees will have to derer-
mine on the testimony presented.

The Joint Caucus.

The joint Republican caucus held last
night for the purpose of agreeing upon a
can didate for United States Senator, was
attended only by the followers of George
{. Perkins. Forty eight was the num-
ber that entered the caucus, but at the
end OF live minutes five of the number
boIted and the chances for majority
caucus looked very slim.
But Senator Ford dispatched couriers
in all directions, and after quarter of an
hour had elapsed delinquent man was
led in and the forty-three had increased
to iorty-four.
There are eighty-seven Republican
members and one independent in the
Legislature, and provided the Indepen-
dent did not feel disposed to vote for Mr..
Perkins, the caucus could not vet boast
of majority. But Senator Eord's lieu
tenants were tlre!ess, and after another
halt-hour spent III ransacking the hotels.
another delinquent was brought before
the Perkins altar, looking very troubled
in spirit, but accepting the inevitable
with the best grace he could muster He
made up the number, and mighty roar
went up from the Perkins torty-fiye
The pledge was brought out and every
member present was asked 10 sign it.
W lille there was considerable ouibblinp
among weakened members the lieuten
ants succeeded at length in having the
names OF all present attached to the al
legged important document
Then 1t was that great cheer went I'D.
The doors were thrown open and the
Perkins men tnronged out smiling and
shouting.
Senator Ford was jubiant. He fairly
hugged himself for joy. Those fortv-
| five," said he, will stick to Perkins
through thick and thin, and he will sue
! caed himself in the United States Senate
unless the Democrats vote against him. -
But there the Senator stopped. He did
not know how the democrats would
/ vote and he said so.
! The only thing the Perkins following
wanted to say was, 'We are going to
| win.'
The foregoing is the story of the Per-
kins men, and 1t is not disputed by the
! DE 1oung men, so far as the caucus is
! concerned, but the latter are not dis
couraged and seem perfectly confident
that their man will win the fight vet.
! Forty-tive is majority of the Repub-
licans, but it is said that there are Demo-
Gratis enough who will vote for De Young
| to secure his election.
