City Completely Ruined - seaport-No

DALLAS. Sept. ll.-Every report
from Galveston makes the situa-
ton look more horrible. The rep
resentative Of business concern in
that city, operating with more than
d, O0O, 600 capital said to the CORES
pendent this morning:
81 have just heard direct from
my house. There IL no hope for
Galveston. The city Is as com
pletely ruined as q seaport as II the
island had been sunk. Men who
have survived the storm cannot
survive financial bankruptcy in
their business. No more capital
will be invested In Galveston be-
cause eastern and foreign flnan.
ciers will not risk 1t there. We are
all ruined beyond recovery, as there
Is no insurance against such losses
as hurricane or tidal wave. Our
policies will be repudisted by in
surance companies, and II we were
inclined to start anew we could not.
The property loss in the city will
not fall below $2O,OOO.OOO, and the
lives sacrificed, I feel sure from
what learn, Will approximate g..
OOO."

Cotton Market Booming.

Prices Going up-Rise of $3.50 Bale on
Large transactions.
New YORK, Sep. 1O-There was no
resisting the upward sweep OF the
cotton market to-day. 1t was q
speculative tidal wave that lifted
September 80 points or $3.50 bale
and the rest Of the list 60 to II
points. The transactions jumped
to an unprecedented aggregate, the
total for the day being, 1t is esti-
mated, $50 600 bales. The oldest
cotton brokers never heard of such
a thing before. Clerks had to work
until the small hours Of night, ma
king out accounts. The big ad
vance was due to representations
OF damage to the Texas crop, q
sharp rise in Liverpool, q jump in
the markets here, light stocks here
and abroad, fears that We are on
the eve of another small crop, and
heavy buying by local, Southern
and European operators. The mon
thly bureau report had been expec-
ted to give the condition at any
where from 50 to 70 per cent. and
was supposed to have been discoun-
ted, but its figures we're $50 and
this had bullish effect.

Raleigh Post.
On Sunday morning The Post pub
lished letter from q farmer in An
adj lining county whose crop is now
white unto the harvest, but the Labor
totally absent. The labor was there
to help pitch and cultivate the crop,
but circumstances Of recent occur
rence-since the August election, in
faGt-have caused them to leave. A
farmer from franklin county was IN
our { flee yesterday, saving it is i'm
possible to get lshor to pick the cot
ton or pull the fodder now ready.
II may be that the farmers, after
having worked hard, and lost their
crops for lack of labor to save it, will
he in much better condition for
the demaeogue and the calamity
bowler to get in bis work and land
himself iuto az office and upon the
public treasury, but God knows it
will not help the State or her honest
and industrious citizens. In order
10 hasten this "good time''-for the
demagoRue-le us all keep mp tn
"nigger racket" continue the threat
against him and hold MIN responsible
for what others do and the use Others
make OF him; but then let us be hor-
est enough to tell the ruined farmer
whose labor has left him that his
loss is the eternal gain and the only
opportunity OF the calamity bowler
In all earnestness, the farmers of
Eastern Carolina are in distress on
account of the exodus Of the labor.
The negro had discounted the re-
suit OF the August election before the
day arrived, and had accepted the
verdict with admirable composure.
The threat, therefore, to keep up the
same crusade against them, not only
now, but indefinitely, created more
uneasiness among them than the GER
tainty OF the adoption of the amend
ment, because they were assured,
and placed col fdence in the assur-
ance that it's adoption meant peace
throughout the State so far as they
were concerned, and a surcease from
the ASS ults upon them as race or
political factor.
The ate mpteo revival of this race
issue, the threat that it will be con-
tiuued. has sent thousands out of the
State since August. and caused many
others to long to 60 il not ready just
yet to do so.

trial at the last weeks term Of Dup
lin Superior Court, that their reas
on for carrying their case to Dup
lin was that they wanted . speedy
vindication, as the Duplin court
met before it did in Sampson Now
since the continuance, they could
get q trial two months earlier in
Sampson than in Duplin, yet they
asked the Justice to override Gar
Plea in Abatement, which was to
return the suit to Sampson, and
thereby bound all the defendants
over to the next term Of Duplin Su-
perior Court, which convenes the
lst Monday in December next.
The defendants claim that they
are prepared to prove all the things
charged in the libelous article, but
that 1t will require quite a mass of
witnesses.
Duplin county will now have to
bear the expense of this suit, which
will probably be not less than
5000 and may require special
term OF court to hear it. We don't
believe that the honest tax payers
of Duplin county will relish this
most extraordinary proceeding on
the part of the prosecutors in this
action.
