SOUTHERN GLEANlNGS.
i Promise Fulfilled.


 Mike Stevens, the last of the three negroes convicted at Live Oak, Fla, of murdering Henry Ryberg, white, was hanged there few days ago He as- serted his innocence to the last. The execution was witnessed by a large crowd, in which were several women with babies in their arms As the trap was sprung the negro women present began to wall, and continued their la ment until the body was cut down. Henry Brown and George Mitch ell, Stevens accomplices in the murder of Rvberg. were hanged on July F and August respective lY. Brown swore on the gallows that he alone killed Kyberg, and that Mitchell and Stevens were innocent. The declaration caused the governor to respite Stevens and Mitchell. This infuriated the people, and they tried to storm the jail and lynch the negroes On being promised that the negroes would be executed the mob dis persed. That promise has been ful- filled, though many believe Stevens and Mitchell were innocent.

all unlikely that in floating the third is
sue considerable difficulty will be expert
enced-provided 1t is the wish to place
on the market the same class of bonds
In fact it is almost certain that the gov
eminent will have to offer additional in
ducements if 1t hopes for prompt returns.
This will probably be most easily accom-
plished by giving higher rate of inter
est, and If the issue is made it will most
likely be for $100000,000 instead of
$50,000,000.
One encouraging feature in financial
affairs is the large increase in custom re-

SAVERS TO THE FRONT.
The Washington Post has the follow
ing:
Mr. Sayers, chairman of the committee
ON appropriations, was placed in n posi-
tior thai tests q mans ability to hold
up his end of debate, when the orators-
zeal and humorous talent in the house
was arrayed in line against him. Mr..
Sayers had completed his statement in
defense of the appropriation for the de-
lection of persons violating the internal
revenue laws, specifically illicit distillers.
which several of the Southern members
had been trying to kill, and had showed
that large numbers of moonshiners were
operating in the states from which the
opposition came, when voice In the house
piped: 81 ert
ANY Illicit distillers in TexasT, XII
There are none," declared Mr.. Saw,
ers: "mOonshine whisky is made in these
other states and shipped into Texas, and
We want to stop it." . 19s
1T goes evidently where there is the
greatest demand for it." several voices
exclaimed at once, and the house burst
into laughter. .al 1870
Then Jerry Simpson of Kansas, who,
combines high order of practical states
manship wi considerable modicum
Of wit, arose. s.alH ~
"Do ! understand the gentleman to
say there are no illicit distilleries in Tex
asp he asked, his eyes sparkling mis-
chievously behind his glasses.
"There are none in the state" repeat
ed Mr.. Sayers, with an air Of easy con
idence.
"That must be-" exclaimed Mr.. Simp-
son, because there are no hills there to
hide behind" And again there was gen
eral laughter
well, Mr.. Chairman" replied Judge
Sayers, dryly, 1--WE don't carry it around
in canes as they do in Kansas" This
prompt remark turned the laughter on the
other side. "Texas," continued the chair
man of the appropriation commi tee,
docs not pretend to be n prohibition
state, and then violate the law in every
nook and corner" There was another
loud outburst Of merriment, and Mr.. Say
ers' face beamed like harvest moon,
while his eyes twinkled as If he ra her
enjoyed having his adyersaries butt their
head against his shield. He dealt out
the finishing blow when Mr.. Swanson of
Virginia, one of the most active of the
opponents of the appropriation, inter.
rupted him, and asked him If was no
fact that the abolition Of the fee system
had been recommended.
II do not know" promptly replied Mr.

word for it as long as his
election to this house depends upon the
vote"

THE COTTON ACREAGE CUES
... TT0N


The Picayune has received the follow
ing, which explains itself:
In the discussion which is now agitat-
ing the South as to whether or not cot
ton can be raised proftably on a basis
of . cents at the ports for middling grades,
which means 1-4c to 4 lie outside on
the farms and plantations, it seems to be
entirely overlooked that such high price
will not exist next season, with another
crop of 100000 or 100000 bales
If Mr.. Neill, at the beginning of next
tions and unchanged acreage, should is
sue proclamation that the crop of 1885,
96 is again 10,250000 bales, picked and
baled, it would require very vivid mag
ination to fix price, however low, to
which cotton would decline.
Is there any one so over-bold as to
say it would not sell in the ports below 3
cents?
The European spinners have an I'M
speakable fondness for Mr.. Neill's large
estimates, and they certainly would
use every endeavor to purchase another
crop of the magnitude of the present at
IL cents or less on plantations. Then,
next January the question will be asked
and answered how prohtably cotton can be
raised at 2 IL cents
1t is well to remember when the pres
ent crop was pitched the price was Z
cents or over at the ports, produced and
sold on DC market. SO, with continued
a crop now planted ON
sc basis will meet Be market, or, as
above stated, 2 lie or less on planta-
tons. "9t 1.cfp@
Considering such disastrous outlook,
the question is quite pertinent, is it not
well for all interests to take warning
in time to prevent such threatened ca
lamity, and restrict production to the
requirements of the world?
