New York. Aucrust 2. Greene &
Go's report on cotton futures ' says
There has been considerable anima
tion today on cotton contracts with
the general tone of the market easier
and prices averaging lower all round
Buying and covering orders on
the new crop 4ere generally lighter
and, the desire to sell greater, the
latter due to more favorable weather
reports from the cotton belt and
weakness on the southern market,
counled with some disappointment
over the tenor of advices from Liver
pool ; Old crop 'was also- tame
Ud lower, but it looks as though
August options were not much under
negotiation at the moment, and sim
ply fluctuated with the new" crop.
August lost 17 points and the later
months about the same, with a recov
ery I of 5 points and some show of
steadiness at the close.

tleton is more than fifty jears
old, and is small for its age. When
the R. & G. railroad was built Mr.
Wm.P.Little was owner of all the land
in the section, and donated a part of
it for depot and other railroad build
ings.' A Rip Van Winkle sleep came
over the town and she slumbered
for manv vears, lu 1870 thft little
town began to awake and take on new
life, j '
Mr, J. L. Shaw , and Col. W. A.
JohnBon purchased largo bodies
of land in and around Littleton, and
divided up a large portion of the land
into! lots upon which dwelling and
.I. ii r-L-.t.i4
ouier nouses were wtuii
And thus Littleton' began to crow
until it has attained iin present pro-
fortions. There are now about seven
undred inhabitants. . Littleton can
boast also of a dozen' br more; busi
ness houses, a good hotel, two fine
schools -and three churches.
The male school is presided over
by Prof. L. W. ; Bagley, assisted
by his accomplished wile, lie
registered last year about fifty pupils,
and his prospects for the future are
bright. Prof. Bagley contemplates
the addition of a military department
to his school in the near future. This
will be a pleasing its well as profit
able feature. The town is to be coh
cratulated upon haviner this aCcom-
plished gentleman in its midst. :
The female school is, under the
management of Prof. S. D. Bagley.
It was not my pleasure to meet this
gentleman. He is held in esteem by
the community, and is well qualified
for the position which he holds.
Littleton promises to become
prominent in the; near luture as a
health resort. As is well known, there
are
cea,
and
Mr.
;w0 fine springs here the i P ana
owned by Mr. Tho's W. Harris
the Healing Springs, owned by
J. Shaw. The former springs are
situated four miles from town, and
notwithstanding the fact that they
are somewhat inaccessible, there are
already some fifteen visitors there.
Shaw s Healing Springs are only
one-half mile from town, beautifully
located and of easy access. Mr. Shaw,
the proprietor of these springs, is an
enterprising gentleman, and expects
to open them lip at an early day for
the reception ? of visitors. These
waters have already been shipped to
all the principal towns oi the btate.
Mr. Shaw is in, daily receipt of com
mendations of them.
During the visit of your reporter
certificates were received from Capt.
John R. Dillon! one of the chief en
gineers of the Albemarle Steam Navi
gation Ccknpany,1 and Capt. ; R. E.
ocoxt, oi ine auanuo ixasi xjine.
It is quite a surprise as well as
worry to visitors that there are no
public conveyances in town." It is
almost an impossibility to hire a
buggy at all. fOf course the; enter
prising citizens of Littleton will not
allow this state of things to exist
much longer. j
The Warren: Baptist Union Meet
ing! was held here; from the 28th to
the 31st Lasts- Among the ministers
resent were Rev. Dr. Hufham, of
cotland Neck: Revs. D. A. ? Glenn,
Petersburg; Li Ci Brickhouse, Mary
land; J. M. MCManaway, Wilson; T
J. Taylor,! Warrenton; J. A. Leslie,
Tarboro: W. B- Morton. Weldon; A.
G. Wilcox, Brinkleyville, and others.
Among the laity I noticed Profs. J
B. Brewer, Murfreesboro; F. P. Hob-
good, Oxford; Capt. N. L. Shaw, War
renton,and Mr. W. E. Bowers, Hali
fax county. !
There were also among the visitors
a considerable number of ladies. The
meeting was largely attended and
questions of importance to the de
nomination were ably discussed.
But I imagine I hear the click of the
editorial scissors. I will speak of the
prominent people I met here at an
other time. Tau.
Harbor Improvements.
Washington, August 2. Gen. Q.
A.. Gilmore, U. S. engineers, in his
annual report; says of the work of im
proving the entrance to Charleston'
harbor, that the appropriations have
been inadequate; to an absurd degree
for tho successful prosecution ot the
operations having in view the com
pletion of the 1 project within the
present century"
He asks lor $ ou,uuu ior tne next
vear's expenditure in Savannah har
bor, and earnestly recommends that
this entire sum, which is necessary
for the completion of the present pro
ject, be made available in one appro
priation. He estimates that $600,000
can be profitably expended next year
on the entrance to Cumberland Sound.

Cincinnati,' O , August 2. The
Kentucky election news is slow in com
ing in, and the fragmentary vote in
Kenton county, in which Covington
is situated; gives liuekuer,
Governor, a plurality
llem-Jor
over the union labor candidate. Brad
ley, rep., runs 300 behind the union la
bor candidate. In Campbell county
the vote for governor has not yet
been received and there is Htill a
question as to who is elected to eitlier
of the offices, though the union labor
candidate concedes the election of Nor
man, dem., for representative It is
thought the republicans have the Co.
on the state ticket.; In Lexington, the
democrats have camel tho city for
the first time in twenty years Buck-
ner s majority oyer Uradly is 88.
Democratic gains of 141 in Boyd
county and 200 in Carter county
are shown though the republicans
Will carry both counties. In Fleming
county, while the democrats will carry
the Wtate ticket by 200 majority, their
candidate for representative is de
feated by the republicans by 600 ma
jority. In Mercer county, PhiL B.
Thompson, Sr., is defeated for the
legislature by D. J. Carr, rep., and
the prohibitionists by 200 majority.
The vote for Fox, prohibitionist, for
governor in the county will be 400 or
500. Women were at the polls
working in the interest of the prohibi
tion candidates. In Jessamine county
there was much excitement and a very
close vote. It is claimed that the demo
cratic candidate for the legislature is
defeated by a few votes. In Mason
county there is a heavy republican
am. In Garrard county, which is the
ome of Bradley, the republicans
have 300 majority.

citement at Eyxabeth City.
.Norfolk Landnwrk, 2d.
Yesterday morning an association
of Portsmouth colored social clubs,
seven in number, went on an excur
sion to Elizabethi City, N. C, carry
ing down about 900 people in twelve
cars. AH went merrily with the pleas
ure-seekers going down, and beer and
other potables flowed freely on the
road and in the town until the
time for returning- It was then that
the trouble began, lhe tram started
on the return home at 5 o'clock, leav
ing a lot oi tne excursionists behind.
Those on board the train demanded
of the conductor that the train should
be stopped and return to Elizabeth
city ior those people who were
. - a - .
left. The conductor refused and
great excitement resulted, and
those excursionists in favor of the
train proceeding home were soon in a
free fight on the train, in which the
train hands joined. During the melee
the bell rope was pulled and cut and
the train stopped. The excursionists
. a no 4 I--
then seized the train and uncoupled
the cars and drove the engineer and
firemen out of the cab. As the riot took
, "5, 1 J-, 1
place oruy a suort distance irom xviiiz
abeth City, the police of that place
were soon on the ground, but were
powerless to cope with the rioters,
who Were enraged and shouting like
mad-men. The mayor then ordered
out the Elizabeth City Guards, the
military company of the place, and
marched them to tho scene of disor
der with fixed bayonets and loaded
muskets. Five of the principal riot
ers Dave Reed, Noah Sheldon, Ned
Foreman and Henry Hall, of Ports
mouth.and a stranger were promptly
arrested and taken to iail. The crowd
was then ordered on board the train,
which order they proceeded to obey,
and in a short while all the excursion
ists started!for home, reaching Ports
mouth between 11 and 12 o'clock.
The rioters who were arrested will be
tried before tho mayor of Elizabeth
City this morning, and will doubtless
be heavily mulcted.
KKJITVCKY.
The returns from tho eloctions in
Kentucky come in slowly. The chief
interest in the result has centred in
the vote the prohibition and labor
tickets would receive, the democrats
baring the State by a large majority.
vwa . I
liio prohibitionists nave been very
active, their candidates having been
constantly on the stump for six weeks.
The labor cause has excited but little
enthusiasm, tho State being agricul
tural in tire main and the party being
poorly organized, even in Louis
ville. The estimate of the
vri 1. mxrlfl lf.-rn ! flio alfxMirtti
was about as follows: Democratic,
