Paul Globe has to say of woman suffrage in Wyoming bs true, it is evident that it has been a treat failure in that territory, aud deserves to bs abolished. Woman eafflrage in that territory was origi nally adopted by th Legislature as a niece of fun under the belief that the .Governor wnuld certainly veto it. but tne Uoverno was not lu a bumor to do any such tiiu and signtd the law creatlv tj the dissDOuintmeut of tbo Legislature, who wanted to play a joKe on mm. ine ne ij -guiaiure promptly repealed the law, but the Governor as oromDtlv vetoed it. and this made woman suffrage a real fact. In dUcussinsi tbe present workings of it the Globe says: "The better elaas of women vry rarely vote at alt, or east the same ballot as thtir male relatis. The lew worthy ele ments, and they are numerous in miaine regions, as a general rule. vote Jbr pay. This is true of very many respectable ladies. They look ipon political races as upon horse races, and dreues. ieWiilrv. and money aie demanded lor their votes. It is very common for girls under twenty one to vote, no wan daring to dial lanire them. To da So would aubiect Q - him to ridicule, and very likely re sult in ni being driven irom me community." If this is tbe way woman sun rage operates in Wyoming, where the popslation is exclusively white, how would it in Virginia and the South, where a very larare cor Don of the population is colored? Of course the great maues of respecta ble and r fined womanhood would iustinctly remain iron tbe poll rather than be thro a into contact witii the (olitlcal rabble that infest the ballot box, whil the lower order of that es m -cat have no such sorcn iee, and thousand of them make politics their trade and sell their toU-s for a toijir. Thtre is already far teo mash man suffrage. To add woman sulTrage would be an indelli- ble blot upon civuis itiou una good government. tMiutli Carolina's Couventloa. The South Carolina Democratic Convention which met at Columbia last Thursday adopted the follow- ng: VVukheas, i,ril-di8posed persons, causelessly hostile to the farmers movement, and regardless of tbe air name and credit of South Caro ina. have cause to be circulated through the pros ot the country ufatpimmta intended to nreiudice the general public as to the relation of the Democratic party to the public 1 1 . . 1 O 4 - 1 . t . -. L. aeo oi toe ouiiei uu tutu sinister statements, growing out of hostile political motives, are wholly at variance with the purpose oi me Uemoc ratio party or tne oute, ana if onooticed would create- wrong impressions and possibly do harm and b unjust to the people of South Carolina; therefore, Be it resolved by the Democratic party in convention assembled, that the debt of South Carolina as now recntrnized it a public oWiaation of primary importance, and in the fu ture, as in tne pans, wm eouuuus to bays the fostering care or. tne HUte Government, and should com mand the confidence of the invest ing public. The new constitution was adop ted, and the nlan of Primary elec tion at this year's election for dele gates to the btate nominating con ontion was aeieaiea.

KING COTTON. Everything Heady for Ills Com- ingr North Carolina's Big ' t ' Crop. A WUmlngtoo Star, The movement of the new cotton cmp is growing daily, and although Wilmington has not yet sooreo ner fiit hale, it will not be many days before the "liaecy staple will be pouring in. the receipts oi new cotton yesterday were 55 bales at Savannah. 52 at New Orleans. 83 at Galveston, 4 at Charleston, 1 at Augusta, aud 1 at Mobile. Tbe cotton crop in North Carolina fWim all aiwoniit has not been so large for years, and farmers are said to DO jUDiiant over tne prunyevw a. is sate to assume, tnereiore, mat Wilmington will handle more cot ton than ever belore. Norfolk, too. ia antfoinitlnsr larerelv increased re ceipts, based on the prospects of a big crop in nortn uarouna. me Norfolk Virginian quotes a cotton buyer ot that city as saying that if the usual channels ot trade were not diverted. Norfolk would handle a qaarter of a million more bales of cotton this year man last, ana pro bably more; that the reports received bv the firm from North Carolina cor respondent are the most encourag ing sent in loo years. West Point, the Virginian says, will not be as treat a rival of Nor folk's this year a last, as one of her cotton presses has been removed to Charlotte, N.C., and it is ssid that another will not oDen no this winter. Considerable cotton, which the Rich mond & Danville road nai beretotore carried to West Foint, will, it is be lieved, find an outlet at Norfolk this season, over the tracks of tbe Nor folk & Carolina road. Wilinimrton cotton men are ready for the oDenine of the season i the compresses are all in order, ware bouses cleared ana read tor ase, and several steamers chartered and os the wav to receive careoes.

Eighteen dollars per month and the best care guaranteed. The twanh cron in southern New Jersey has been a disastrous failure this season. Orchard after orchard has barely enough fruit to famish a dozen cans of preserves lor tne own era. The reason for this IS said to be that the very mild winter eansed the trees to blossom which was fol lowed bv bliffhlmir frosts.

Soektly loaruL The battle was on, and the blue and tbe gray were at each other s throats. It was at Gainesville, and the Federals were fretting the wosrt of the fight. The heat of an August sun beat fiercely down upon the lonir lines of slittering steel melt ing away in the fierce heat of war. On tbe rieht the earth trembled un der thundering hosts of charging cavalry; on the left the men in blue heard their bones crash under the eaden rain like glass in a hailstorm. Over all rose the sulphurous cloud belched forth by the deep-throated guns whose terrible roar shook the rook-ribbed hills. As the ranks of blue, shattered and shaken by the shower of shot and shell, slowly rolled back, a Fed eral colonel waved his sword over his head in the vain attempt to rally his men, and then staggard and fell on the blood-stained grass. The 'alien officer was a man of striking appearance, nut grand tace and orm caught the - attention or the rushing legions of gray, and the men unconsciously swerved aside to avoid trampling him down. Des Erately wounded, the colonel pain Uy crawled to a tree, and reclined against it with the life current flow ing from a bullet hole in his breast. 11 is anxious eyes looked into tbe stern faces of the Confederates as they charged on past him. In an other momemt his face brightened. "Bob!" he grouted, "Bob, don't you know me?" m ear a lien, looinbs, ruling at the bead of his brigade, heard the familiar voice. Herodeupto the tree aud glanced at the speaker. "Good God!" exclaimed the gen eral, "it is Fletcher Webster Dan iel Webster's son!" In an instant Toombs was kneel ing by the colonel's side. He placed the helpless man in a more comfort able position, and gave him water from a canteen. 'He is my old friend, he said to a staff officer; poor Fletcher Web sterDaniel Webster! son stay here with him I must go on to the front." Gen. Too V mounted his horse and charged on with his brigade to annihilate the rest of Webster's re giment. Ifaehrstlullin the fray brought be ueorgian back to the tree. "And so we meet as enemies, said Webster, returning the other s sympathetic band pressure. Xxeverl replied loombs. "Dan iel's son must always be my friend. Just sow we must fight for our dif ferences, bat there are happier days ahead for us both." Jly wound is mortal, said Web- ster. uoa mess yon, oia iriena for your kindness. Gentlemen, 1 . a- a as . .aw jf- w thank yen. War is a bad thing." Azain the creneral took leave of tke sufferer and returned to the front eavinir a sursreon behind him. The Confederate cared for their captive with brotherly tenderness, but it was of no avail. Wsaker grew the dying man' pulse and mere fitful hit heartthrob, wuieuy and with a mil he passed away, lie whispered a message to his loved ones, and said: Tell Bob I loved him God bless him." Fletcher Webster was dead-the hope and glory of proud father the ideal soldier of New England - this was his end dead on the battle field with the sorrowful faces of kis foemea beading over him. MA true man and a brave soldier," said Gen. loombs that night, a he wiped away a tear. "Let us tend ktm through th line with th hon or of war." . It was done. Fletcher Webster s dead body wa tend with an escort toth Federal camp. A funeral eoriezi accompanied it to Boston. It lay in state m old raneuu nan, and all New England mourned his loss.
