The prospect for a cotton crop is exceedingly discouraging. ‘The planters in the swamps have been compelled to re- Rise many times. In many cased, the last planting having failed, they have abandoned the enterprise, 1 more favoravle localities tne stem is so imalfter- ent that no more than half a crop can be had.

Political aviiation continues, The | biter feeling entertained by the largest portions of | the whites toward the blacks and ofligers of {he State government has become iniensified in this immediate vicinity by the resnit of a recent local election. At any time within the last ten days a confiict seemed unavoidable, Threats have been Treety indulged. Both parues are well supplied with arms, and appear eager for the conflict.

It now Appears, irom the records of the business of the Pension Bureau, that the number of beneiiciavies of the law, and consequent money expenditure, were greatly under estimated. The num- ber of applications for pensiot under the act up to the present time exceeds 26,000, and the average number of new cases received daily 1s 176, About twenty per cent of the cases adjudi- | cated are rejected. Estimating from the above data, the total number of admissions to pensions on the S0th of June of next year will be 25,649, aud the ex, penditures for payments to these pensioners, at the rate of eight dollars per month from February 14 1871, will then have amounted to $3,213,546 66. The appropriations available for tits purpose amount to $4,740,000, It 1s possible the admissions and conse- quent eapenditures may be increased above these estimates, The Finale of the McGarrahan Case. It is denied at the Interior Department that orders have been given by the President for the reopening of the MoGarranhan case, Tax on Cigar Scraps and Clippings. Commissioner Pleasonton maintains the former decision of the Internal Revenue Office, which holds that seiling retuse scraps and clippings of to+ bacco, so far as the same are unavoidably inctdent to the cigar manufacturer’s business, does not ren- der him tiable to pay a special tax or otherwise qualify as a tobacco manufacturer, The law, how- ever, imposes a tax of sixteen cents per pound on all such refuse scraps and sweepings of tobacco, and when a cigar manufacturer sells such scraps, &c., he must enclose themin a legal package and afllx the proper revenue stamp and cancel it; but the other requirements, such as the label or caution notice, the number of the factory, name of manufacturer, &c,, are not necessary, nor is their omission any violation of law when a cigar manufacturer sells feraps and waste resulting from his business. While the office holds, as before stated, with regard to the sale of scraps or sweepings made by the cigar manu- facturer, 1t equally holds, in the language of the law, that every person whose business it is to put up for use or consumption scraps, waste, clippings, stems or deposits of tobacco resulting from ang process of handling tobacco, and lable to pay special tax, give bond and observe all other legal requirements Savitary Tounage Dues in the Turkish Empire. ‘The Secretary of State has transmitted to the Sec- retary of the Treasury a letter from Baltazzi Effendi, Chargé d’Affairs of the Sublime Porte, enclosing the report of the mixed Commission, charged more than two years ago with the revision of the tariff of Sanitary dues in the Turkish empire. The new re- ‘gulations went into operation on the 13th instant, Every vessel, from whatever country, arriving at an Ottoman port, shall pay a@ duty, calculated on its tonnage, according to the following rules:~From one to five hundred tons inclusive, twenty-two paras, and from five hundred tons upwards, twelve paras per ton. In other words, every vessel pays ‘twenty-two paras for the first five hundred tons and twelve paras for the tons in excess of five hun- dred. The following are exempted from all sanitary dues excepting the pay of guards:—First, vessels of ‘war; second, vessels which have been forced to put into port, provided they are engaged in no commer- ciai operations in the port; third, fishing vessels, Operations at Corea, The Department of State has received merely a brief despatch of the fact of operations at Corea, but no particulars, ‘The Navy Department has no | Aurther advices. The New York Central Railroad Tax. It Is expected at the Treasury Department that the amount of tax due from the New York Central Railroad under the recent decision of Conmmisstoner Picasonton will be paid without unnecessary delay. The Cotton Crop.

J. Davis, Govérsor . Since my arrival here I have been careful to collect information in reference to the move- ents of Indians on and off these reserves, a rons state to your Excellency it 18 evident that during the coming summer there | will be witvessed the most extensive ravages o{ the frontiers of Texas of any preceding. Almost all the Indians of this agency and the Chévenhes of another have left and are now on the warpath, We learn from Indians Phat are comtng in frequently that other bands of Comanches that do not belong here are also active, and that the Piains are black with Apaches. Upon interrogation as to the numbers they pointed to a large valiey near by, of more than a thousand acres, and say that would not hold them, Constantly increasing depredations on the north- western frontiers corroborate their statements. The Apaches have been coming down the waters oie Colorado and further South, and it is mosi likely the depredations committed at the far South weré by them. We learn also there is a rendezvous west of the reservation in what 1s called Run Island, | of Texas. These traders from New Mexico meet the Indians and furnish them with arms and ammuni- uuon in exchange for horses and cattle. There are 2,400 braves and warriors inclusive. Satala, the Chief of the Kiowas, is the first brave of all the tribes; Kickingbird, the second chief of the Kiowas, is the second brave; Asahava, or Milky Way, 18 & distinguished brave, as are Tassowa, ‘or Stiver Knife; Asatoyel, or Grayish Fox; Ocechewka, or Straight Fighter, and Babava, or Run- nivg Bear. General Sberman has these with the arrested chiefs. General Sherman, who is now | ae has ordered additional forces aloug the North- ern line, ‘The lists and enumerations of the Indians in the reservation of Fort Sill are as follows:—Comanches, 2,742; Kiowas, 1,890; Apaches, 300; Quahadoes, Attiliated 'Indians—Caados, 484; Wichita, 126; Wachas, 124; $5. ‘Total, 7,254 1,000. ‘ 240; "Delawares, 71; Keeciles, Towancauses, ‘128?

We are not permitied to buy arms and ammunition, and having had Jands taken from us we are foolish enough to be bad. Ifyou want us to be good you ; must have Washington supply us with arms and ammunition and then we will think of it.” L. 8S, FRIENDS, The following are extracts from an extra olticial letter from Fort Sill: In an interview between General Sherman, Gene- ral Morey, General Grierson and the agent at the Tatum ‘reservation, it was shown as an indispatable = fact that =the Indians —_be- longmg to that reservation were hostile to and now on the warpath against the people of Texas, General Sherman asserted that the Indians, having so frequently broken their treaty, should be declared outlaws, and the government should cease to care for them, and sequestrate the lands and punish them as their enormities deserve, aud that he should so recommend, Sherman Looking After Indian Raiders. WASHINGTON, June 19, 1871. A despatch to the War Depaitment from General Sherman at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, says:— General McKenzie reached Fort Sill June 4 and ‘will take back to Richardson the Indian prisoners. By Le ty her more companies of the Tenth Cavairy to Fort Sill General Grierson will keep a picket of three companies at Gid Camp, Radsetmein- Ski and two at the mouth of the Cache, so that raids into ‘Texas from the reservation will be prevented.

The trotting coatests announced to come off at Fleetwood Park yesterday, embracing a sweep- stakes for $1,000 between five horses; a match for #500 between the chestnut gelding Hickory, to wagon, and bay ‘gelding James O’Brien, in har- ness, and the match of Mr. James Brown’s road team, Dandy Jim and Edwin Forrest, for $1,000, against time, were postponed until to-morrow in consequence of the bad condition of the track. The severe rain of Sunday washed it out In several piaces, and workmen have since been busily employed in filling up and levelling it off. Quite a large number of gentlemen and several ladies were on hand to witness the con‘ests, expecting them to be of an exciting nature, and they departed quite disappointed, The management of Ficetwooa have determined to make two or three essential changes in the matter of those who shall in the future frequent the club house, and that part of the grand stand devoted to the ladies. An ornamental iron fence will be put in position to encircle the house, and when finished none but members will be allowed within the enclosure and at the house—a change quite commendable and due to those gentlemen who are yearly subscribers, ‘At the same ume that portion of the grand stand farthest from the club house will be arranged for the accommodation of the ladies, and the necessary vollet rooms at once constructed. This change is also very proper, and 1s worthy of p1 SALE OF POOLS.

G. Humphreys was elected Governor to Mississippi! in October, 1865, and was removed from ofice, by order of General McDowell, tn 1868, He 1s spoken of as one of the “unrepentant rebels; and being one of the best Known and most prominent men in the State I wished to get his views upoii “the situation” and present them to the readers of the HERALD, tater ‘ Yesterday I met the Governor—a broad-shoul- dered, staid, Southern-looking gentleman, whose years are beginning to count upon him, I said of the Governor that wherever I travelled In the South Tavailed myself of every opportunity to gather in- formation ot THE TRVE SENTIMENTS OF THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE on the situation of the South. And as I found the opinions and statements of ‘“carpet-baggers” pal- panly in conilict and Inconsistent with what I every Gay saw in the conduct of the people, I soon discov- ered that it became necessar/ 10 apply to those who know their sentiments irom intimate association and free and unrestrained access to Southern soci- ety. 1then added that, if his time and inclination did not forbid, 1 would be gratified to hear his views on that subject, The Governor replied that since his expulsion from oMce he had been purposely reticent ou public affairs, “Our words,” he sald, “are distorved and given far-fetched meanings, We are CONSTANTLY AND PERSISTENTLY MISREPRESENTED, and Ihave thought 1t best to keep silence, and | am sorry to see others breaking their reticence,”” “But, Governor, the present is an important time for the future of the South. The democrats of the North and those who are halting between two opinions would like to know the sentiments of the people of this section, and especially of those Who took an active and deep interest in the re- bellion.”” “Well, sir, I have no views to conceal, but Ido not want them distorted and twisted Into meanings that are foreign to them, Since my expulsion from office by federal bayonets I have felt disinclined to publish any complaints for WRONGS DONA TO THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE, Tcontented myself then with appealing to the Su- preme Court of the United States for their protec- tion, but that Court having admitted, by dismissing my suit for want of jurisdiction, that there was ONE MAN SUPERIOR TO THE CONSTITUTION, and he having a pliant and powerful army and navy at his command, could trample with impunity upon the rights of States and the people so long as a cor- rupt minority of one-third of the United States Senate bowed to his power, my confidence 1n the long continuance of our republican form of govern- ment has been greatly shaken and I have since abided in silence the development of the issue.”” “The late speeches of Mr. Davis, I see, Governor, have caused some very harsh criticism; do you think he meant to convey the idea that he hoped for a re- vival of the ‘lost cause? "7 “No, sir, The peculiar form of government the people of the South attempte’ to establish has GONE DOWN FOREVER.” “But what about the ‘principles’ of which Mr. Davis ts 50 hopeful ?”? “Constitutional freedom? The South fought for that, and it 1s a cause that will never die so long as Anglo-Saxon blood flows through our veios, pure and unmixed with that of the inferior races of the earth. Slavery was the exciting and proximate cause of the civil war that resulted 1o ite abolition, and that resuit the South has long since ACCECTED IN GOOD FAITH AND FOREVER, But the white people of the South never have and never will accept the loss of Mberty and the loss of the right of locai seli-government as the result of the arbitrament of Srms. They abide the loss ag the re- sult of the exigencies and necessities of the radical party in perpetuating their power, and hold theim- selves ready to aililiate at the ballot box with all patriots, whether of the North, East or West, for the expulsion of that party from power, and for the restoration—not ‘reconstraction’—of the rights of the States and the people.” “Phere are many people at the North, Governor, ‘W would be better friends to the South, but they fedr the EMBFRS OF THE REBELLION have not been quenched.’ “Weil, sit, Ihave no doubt there is a vast multi- tude of good people atthe North who never designed any wrong to the South, and who have, from the hour we laid down our arms, honestly and earnestly labored to restore to our State governments and our people their equal rights in the Union; but there is a mightier &,uititude who hate us, and those who bold the powers of government know bat too well how to lash that hatred into WRATH AND REVENGE, and prevent ae friendly ald to the South. How can the people of the North expect that ‘embers of the revellion’ will ever be quenced so long as they pile that FOUL MASS OF ‘DRIFTWOOD’ FROM THE NORTII, known as carpet-baggers on these embers? With- draw that ‘driftwood’ and restore local sell-gov- ernment to the people of the South is all that is needed to QUENCH THE EMBERS OF REBELLION FOREVER.” “You speak, Governor, of the hatred of Northern men toward the South. [8 there not an intensified hatred still existing with the Sourmern people for the people of the North?” “fhe Southern people, sir, hate the carpet-bag official because he 1s mean, corrupt, low; he comes here to fatten on the spoils of his office, and not to live among and be one of us, They hate mean- ness, Whether of native or Northern growth; bat that they despise and spurn THE MAN OF NORTHERN BIRTH is Known to be false and unirue. Uf he comes as the ‘wooden nutmug’ vender comes—as the ‘bum- mer’ comes—io plunder and pillage; if he comes as the horde of camp-followers and professional oftice- seekers come—to gather the spoils of victory and rob the treasuries of our people, then he always has and always will receive THE SCORN, CONTEMPT AND HATRED of all classes in the South, But if he comes as the peerless Prentiss came; if he comes as the grand old Knickerbocker, John Anthony Quitman, came; If he comes as that noble Roman, Charles Clark, and as thousands of our oldest and best citizens came, to make our sunny land their home, to develop the re- sources and build up the material wealth of the country, to share our burdens as well as our pros- perity and giory, then they have and ever will re- celve THR RIGHT HAND OF FELLOWSHIP, be introduced to our hospitabie homes, and cordially promoted to the highest of social and Political places of honor and trast."? “Well, Governor, what do you think of what Is now becoming pretty generally known as THE ‘NEW DEPARTURE)’ that 1s, npon the acceptance by the.democratic party of che consututional amendments as enumerated In the Dayton piatform 7” “Tam glad to see the democratic party returning to the OLD WHIG DOCTRINE AND PLATFORM— the Union, the constitution and the enforcement of the laws, In the Presidential election of 1860 all other parties adopted platforms of conditional sub- mission to the constitutional Union, and it was ominous for the Union under the constitution when the whig candidate received less than one-sixth of thé entire yove of the people.

Does any one expect or wish the President elect to make & mental reservation as to any section or amendment to the coustitu'ion as written’ Will he not find these amendments in the constitution? Whether they are there by force or fiand, he is not the judge, and must maintain the decrees of that departinent of the government that is clothed with the constitutional power to adjudi- cate them. The iramers of the constitution wisely entrusted its amendment to the States only, and the States alone can alter 1 under the forms of the con- stitution, The President and Congress have nothing to do with it, except to recommend. Let the States, then, take such action as their jealousy of the CENTRALIZING TENDENCY OF PRESIDENTIAL AND CONGRESSIONAL INTRIGUES and gorraptions may suggest.” «These are some good old whig doctrines you are expressing, Governor.” “Yes, sir, they are good old whig doctrines, but do not undersand me as Wishing to revive tie grand old party.

Do you think there Was ever an organization for this purpose :” “No, sir—at least no general organization; though something of the kind might not have been entirely wrong, and it certainly would have had its hands full, 1 think if we are now permitted to escape from our present local government and to elect our own officers all such klans and associations will disappear entirely aud be no longer heard o/,"’ LITERARY CHIT-CHA!

It is worthy of remark, in this connection, that within the past few years there has been a marked literary activity in Russia, owing probably to the relaxation of official censorship over the productions of authors, ‘tHe Stasecr of iemale education seems to excite the interest of Italian ladies, several of whom have devoted their time to giving lectures with a view to its improvement.

Many of the English critics express regret that Mr. Stephens should have chosen the form of verse that he has for his poem, “Convict Once.” The story Is most effectively told in other respects, its rich flow of language being especially noteworthy. But although Mr. Stephens manages his pauses with sk:ll, the long continuance of verse with a trochaic move- ment tires the reader before he finishes reading tne poem, To give some idea of Mr, Stephens’ felicity of language, and leaving out the question of style, we give below the following picture of a girl's first wakening to love:.

Since the Bostonians insisted that the Hook of Common Prayer did nos make any allowance for prayer on thelr Common when the penitent Ninth were in question, the Rev. Jim, as all the world knows, after preaching on his own account, left the eity of bigotry—the unhullowed, hollow Hub— behind him at a pseudo-Athenian make-believe horse-car trot, The rain which fell all day Sunday did not abate as the regiment departed amid the cheering of a crowd stirred to enthustasm by the best militia regiment they had ever seen, The “route? was given to Newport and THE ENGINE RANG ITS BELL and started. In the first car were the Colonel and other officers and the press representatives, also Mr. Levy, of the band; in the next were the moosicians and then the rank and fle.

The train moved on with spinning speed, and a feeling of joy began | to manifest itself, By elght o'clock Fall River was reached, and the cars unavoidable halt. An army of irreverent youths were drawn up on the platform, who stared into the windows with leering eyes and opened their mouths as wide as an oyster In a spring tide, They wanted to know WHERE'S JIM, ANYHOW? Levy, the cornet player, pushed up the window near him, put his head and his eyeglass out and was about to play a cornet solo in reply, when one of the youths advised him to “Get aglass patch for the other eye.’’ didn't play. A venerable-looking old cuss on the ornamental staff was pointed out to the Inquirers as the verl- table Fisk, but the sophisticated youths refused to be sold. Finally Jim was discovered, and mouths opened, if possible, wider, and kept on widening till the train took a fresh run in the rain. It was not long now before Newport was reached, and the steamer Newport, looking omtnously wet, was at the pier. The regiment marched aboard in a few minutes, and after some delay THE PADDLES BEGAN REVOLVING, to the relief of ail.
