Tbe time set for his execution had long

generally known that he would be re
sentenced today. Cluverius appeared
to dc, somewhat careworn and nervous,
and it was evident that he was under
heavy strain to maintain his composure.
When, asked by tbe judge if he had
anything to say why sentence should not
be passed upon him. he in a low tone
replied: "No, sir; nothing more than I
said before." Judge Atkins, without
any preface, pronounced the death sen

Washington, Oct. 9. The report of
the department : of agriculture says:
The cotton season has been too varia
ble in temperature and precipitation for
the best development and largest fruit
age. It was tod dry in September on
the Atlantic coast, resulting in the fur
tier shedding of the bolls. The boll
worm has wrought local irjury in the
Gulf States, and the caterpillar m a lers
degree. The weather has been com
paratively favorable for picking, except
for excessive heat and for rains in the
Mississippi valley and Texas The
season is late and the risks ef early
frosts are therefore greater than usual
and liable to discount the present ap
parent condition.
In Georgia and Alabama the condi
tion is reported the same as last month.
Tennessee makes a slight improve
ment. ' The Carolinas, Mississippi,
liouisiana, Texas and Arkansas show a
small reduction. The averages are:
Virginia 72, North Carolina 75, South
Carolina 74, Georgia 81. Florida 85,
Alabama 80, Mississippi 79, Louisiana
79, Texas 74, Arkansas 86, Tennessee
96. The average of condition is 79.3,
against 80 1 last month and 78 in Oo-
tober of last year. It is six points be
low the October average of the crop of
1879 Local cstmntes of the y:eld per
acre in fractions : of a bale are made
by correspondents, subject the to viuiss'-
tudes of the later season, and especially
lateness of a killing frost. They must
not, therefore, be oittd a official pre
dictions of the result of the harvest.
State averages are as follows: Vir
ginia, 32: North Carolina, 37; Sourh
Carolina, 31; Georgia, 30; Florida, 27:
Alabama, 29; Mississippi, 40; Louisi
ana, 49; Texas, 37; Arkansas, 51; Ten
nessee, 35 general average, 36.
As a summary of the situation, the
average of condition is a point higher
than last year ; the area is one per oent.
more, and the season later. The dif
ference between a long and short season
may easily be half a million bales.

sixth day that -the general assembly of
tne rxnignts oi iiDor nas pecn in ses
sion here, and the first to begin with
matters in cuch shape that business can
at otoe be taken up and carried through.
Each . delegate, aa he passed through
the doors when entering the convention
hall this mcrning, was presented with a
bundle of printed pamphlets and circu
lars. One of those was : ja supple
mentary report, written by Rtlph Beau
m ot, ehairmuB of the committee on leg
islation, in which he proposes to insti
tute a congress of workingmen at
Washington, to sit while the United
States congress is in session Another
was the proposition of C. M- iDewey; of
Detroit, Michigan, to establish a
week'y journal as the organ of the order.
The purpose of this was i that eaoh
member should be fully acquainted with
the several subjects when brought up
for discussion.
The committer on distribution was
set to work even before the convention
met, dissecting the various pamphlets,
etc , including Powder ly's address, and
distributing portions of vhem to the
committees charged with the duty of
considering the subjects j of which
tne respective portions treated.
Of committees to be appointed, only a
portion were: named yesterday, and
when the convention met the' work of
completing the list was at once resumed.
Kven to-day the work being done is
mainly preliminary. ;
Doubts are expressed as to the possi
bility of tbe convention completing its
work within the two weeks I for which
Armory hall is engaged; but Powderly
says he thinks it can be done. -
It is the present intention of the com
mitteemen and delegates to .

grest more to do this season than tn
some years past . The freight receipts
have been very large; much larger, in
fact, than last y.--arand of oourse they
get tie benefit of this They handle a
good deal of ootton. too.
There are many visitors to the cotton
oom press daily, and of oourse muoh in
terest is felt in it
Mr. Fasnach yesterday occupied his
very handsome new store, 110 Fayette-
ville street. The front is nearly all
glaps, with the iron work painted black
and gold. The designs are very grace
ful and yet simple. The interior fittings
are all black and gold. The windows
are fitted with velvet cushions for the
display of jewelry and silver ware. The
effect is at once striking and pleasing.
No jewelry store in the c tat is more
attractive.
Barakat (Ireaa aad Hippodrome.
Memphis Appeal, Oct. 5.
Brnum's great combination gave two
performances yesterday, one in the after
noon and the other at night, and to im
mense orowds of people. It was esti
mated by competent judges that at least
fourteen thousand people attended tbe
afternoon entertainment and about tbe
same number in ' the evening. It was
the largest crowd ever seen under one
tent in Memphis. The street parade in
the forenoon was quite an imposing af
fair, excelling in every particular and
completely dwarfing all other displays
of like character. The immense tent
contained three rings' and three enter
tainments were continuously progress
ing at the Bime time. Tbe herds of ele
phants,: camels and dromedaries were
particularly attractive. In the museum
the gfeat Jumbo was seen in life-like
proportions and : looking as natural as
lie. In the eirous there were a succes
sion of excellent exhibitions and dis
plays-, .continuing for over two hours
The hippodrome races were among the
strongest attractions, and they created
intense excitement and enthusiasm.
They were real races, honestly and stub
bornly contested, as follows: Gentle
men's English and American thorough
bred jockey race, pony and monkey
race, race between a man and a running
horse, ladies' foot race, cattle race, fast
foot race, Arabian camel race, double
team bareback Roman standing race,
wheelbarrow race, pony sulky race, and
tke electrical four horse Roman ooliseum
chariot race. Take it all in all, Bar-
num's is the biggest and grandest show
in the world. Too muoh praise cannot
be given to the management for the
polite and business-like manner in whioL
the immense orowds were handled and
seated. The arrangements as to all
details wore perfect, and : everything
moved along like dock-work.
The Baiele;B Cattea Market aad HI fa
arneoa.
Cor. of the Krws ajtb Obsxbvkx.
I notice an article in the Weekly Bud,
of Smithfield, which is evidently meant
to disparage Jialeigh as a cotton market.
The editor admits Raleigh pays more for
ootton than other points, and aooounts
for it by intimating that a "pool ' has
been formed by the business men of Ral
eigh, and money put in the hands of
the cotton buyers to aid them in buying
above the regular market "and by thus
placing a nouuous price upon ootton,
bait tne farmers ler the first two or
three : hundred bales sold." In
answer I would say that Raleigh
has received since September 1st
some 10,000 bales of cotton, and has
a aa m a a
paid an along ; from $ to f oent per
pound more than oom pe ting markets
This does not look like a fictitious prioe
for two or three hundred bales as
bait, does it?
Again, the editor says he is sure there
is some "monkey business" going on
somewhere. AW the suggestion of
friend I agree with the editor about the
"monkey business," and would say that
if the monkey at the other end jumps
every time the business men pull tne
string at this end, then it is the look
out of the monkey and not of the
business men of Raleigh. ;
Farmers, bring your ootton to Ral
eigh and get the beat prices, as hereto
fore: M Cottoh.

THE GREAT BARGAIN STORE OF
RALEIGH.
1 have Just returned from New York, where

nave pui chased the largest' and cheapest
stack of goods ever brought to the Backet
Just aa we have said all the time, goods cheap
enough will sell themselves. This and this
alone aooounts tor the tremendous trade at
the Racket. Our 1 goods are cheap and it is
1 I .
time that our sledge-hammer bargains may be
hard hitters lor those who buy and sell o
I j
time, but they art real blessings t those who
.-I
aan pay cash for tfhelr goods. Gathered up
from the slaughter-pens of credit and laid at
your doors with fbut one profit, you get a
dollar in real value in every dollar's worth
you buy, measure Sor measure, dollar for dol-
lax, at the BacketJtere. The crecit system is
a; system of sleepless nights of deferred hope,
f blasted expectations, of bad debts, of dis
puted ledger aooounts; a system whioh makes,
an honest man, who pays and intends to pay,
support and pay lor those who never pay.
The merchant wee sells goods on tuna never
knows hew much"he ought to charge to bring
him a reasonable profit on his goods, lor the

reason he never know what his losses will ae.
