The Credit Foncier applied to the Quebec parliament for certain Srivileges and monopolies which were nally granted them. It is now discov ered that all the men who voted in fa vor of the company had previously re ceived shares of stock in it. They swear that this did not influence their view.

The following letter from General Grant to Senator Jones, oi .Nevada, has been published : "City of Mexico, April z.uy Dear Senator : I see by the lastest dis- Datches published here from the capi tal of our country that the deadlocK in organizing the Senate is not yet brok en, and mat noining nas ueeu uoue uy the President to allay the bitterness which must be engendered by his most recent appointments. When the first batch of nominations for New York was sent in I was delighted. 1 believed then that the President had determined to reco&rnize the Republican party, and; A- "."I 4. T " A" 'A not a iacuon. nui ma numiuauuiia oi the next day convinced me that the first act was but a part of a deep laid scheme by somebody to punish promi nent leaders tor Demgopeniy inenary to me. I cannot believe that General Garfield is the author of this policy.- I trive him credit for being too big a maa to descend to sucn means ior me pun ishment of men who gave him a hearty support in his election and who are disposed to give him the same support now. for the oirence oz navinjr naa a former preference for some one else for the office he now Holds. But Gar field is President and is responsible for all the acts of the administration. Conkling and Piatt are the chosen Senators from the great State or .New York, and that, too, against all the op position of an administration created by the same party that elected them. This should give tnem ail me Birongor claim to be consulted in the matter of annnintments in their State. When It comes to filline the most influential of hce m tneir estate wiinout uuubuiliujj these Senators it is a great slight. Whftn he selects the most offensive man to be found it becomes an msujt; and oncrht to be resented to the bitter est end. I sincerely hope the President will see this and correct his mistake himself, and restore harmony to the partv. lie owes to is to nimseir ana ca those without whom he could not have been elected. Nobody believes that he could have carried the State of New York without the active support of her present Senatora. Their passive support would not have answered. Without the State of New York, Gen eral Garfield would not now be Presi dent. His rewarding Robertson is not only offensive to the New York Sena tors, but it is offensive to New York Rennblicans.

But he did this trom a sense of honor, supposing it to be the duty of representatives abroad to give anew administration tne opportunity of saviner whether they were wanted or not. Very truly yours.

"North Carolina', is, indeed, a Great The a4xve captioa-i takfr rom an editorial in the Jfews and Observer of the 8th Inst. ' As one of her sons; I feel proud to- claim her a tny native State, and t yon . will always find, me m the f oremost rank to -defend her- And -to hold herup-as a "great State."- North Carolina fails to get proper credit for much of the proofuctipns of her soil. I notice in the editorial above alluded to this paragraph : Thus we find Nor folk credited with shipping 790,000 bales of cotton, and North Carolina with about one-tenth that amount; whereas Virginia hardly raises 60,000 bales, and North Carolina nearly 400,- 000. In lik6 manner, much, of our to bacco goes to Virginia markets," &c. Now, it is not. because I love Virginia ess that I allude to this matter, but be cause I love NortheCarelma more, and it is upon the principle of justice that 1 make this statement Virginia is not classed as a cotton State, fox net more han six counti-s produce any at all, and instead of raising "50,000 bales," it will prove very satisfactory to the cen sus office if she foots up 15,000. The cotton was taken by the enumerators only in a few instances, but the matter is being investigated and may reach 12,000 or 15,000 bales, but it is expected that 10,000 will be the limit. I have no means just now, of ascertaining how- much of the 700,000 bales shipped to-1 JNortoiK should oe credited to iNortn Carolina, but think it would be near-. er correct to say 25 per cent. I shall not in this letter go into any argument to show this, for ft would make it too entrthy. A little thought and atten tion a3 to which portion of the STATE PRODUCES THE MOST COTTON will suffice to convince the most credu- ous. Cotton is raised in seventvrfive coun ties of the State. The nine counties- Wake, Johnston, Wayne, Wilson, Edge combe, Nash, Franklin, Halifax and Northampton produce 155,000 bales,! or about 43 per cent. The average of the whole State is one bale to 2 acres. while the average in the nine counties named is 2.15, making the average in the other counties very nearly three acres to the bale. Wake, as in number of bales, stands highest on the yield per acre, the average beine one bale to i& acres. JSot one county east or. the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, ly ing off the road, will average with these nine. Pitt comes the nearest, and reports 14,366 bales, Lenoir next, 8,144, and Greene, 8,000. The yield in Greene is 2 acres to the bale.. Anson, Mecklenburg, Richmond, Robeson and Union are the only counties not named that produce 8.000 bates ana upwards. Anson has 11,791, Mecklenburg 18,814, Richmond 15,214. lioDeson 8,739, union 8,084. The yield per acre is below the interior counties. - JMPecomoe stands next toWake in number of bales, 26,- 170 beinst produced. Tim average to each countv. of the nine, is: upwards of 17,000 bales. The statistics show that ' this belt of counties comprises the best cotton growing region of , the state. Whether it is owm&r to the -nature of the soil or other causes, l le'ave to Prof. Kerr or some a?ricuJtrrraxexDert to ex plain. 1 am only statins faets gather ed from statistics, hoping thereby to do some good to the Uid .North state. 1 f I 1 at- Condensed Telegrams of Friday The nomination of W.
