A number of bills on the calendar
were passed by the Senate yesterday,
after whtdh Mr. Morgan concluded his
argument against the conference report
on the railroad land forfeiture bill; the
report was agreed to byN a strict party
vote; the House anti-lottery bill was
then passed without a word of discus
sion; a substitute for H,ouse bill to re
peal the timber culture laws, was passed,
and a committee of conference asked
with the House on disagreeing votes;
the House was principally occupied in
the consideration of the Enloe resolu
tion relative to the Kennedy speech; the
Speaker overruled the point of order
raised by Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio, that
the resolution was not 1n order, after
which the matter was debated for two
hours, and finally referred to the com
mittee on the Judiciary; a number of
Senate bills of no importance were then
passed. The president is spend
ing his time very pleasantly in his
mountain retreat; the early adjournment
of Congress will shorten his vacation, as
it is hfs purpose to be in Washington
during the closing of the session.
The palace of Alhambra, in Granada,

The Philadelphia Press, Rep.,
since Kennedy's onslaught, thinks a
statement from Boss Qaay would
have great weight. Quay- seems to
be of the opinion that the longer the
wait the greater the weight.
The gentTeman from the 15th Illi
nois district found the "bubble
reputation at the Cannon's mouth,"
but judging from the way the Re
publicans in his district are kicking
against him it wasn't the kind of
bubble he was hunting for.
Philadelphia is a pretty snug,
comfortable town to live in but the
chances of dying there are better
than they are m other towns. It is
said that her death rate from ty
phoid fever is greater than in any
other city in the world, attributable
to the bad quality of drinking water.
The Republican State Convention
of Indiana which met at Indianapolis
last week, endorsed Blaine's recipro
city, and demanded the election of
United States Senators by the peo
ple. It would seem from this that
they have concluded that they have
lost their grip upon the legislature.
It is said that the Cleveland Dem
ocrats of New York are very much
excited over a report that Mr. Cleve
land will leave New York and take
up his residence in Massachusetts.
He may find Massachusetts a very
pleasant State to live in, any may
even have cultivated a fondness for
Boston beans, . but he would, if he
contemplates it, hardly make a move
of that kind before the next Demo
cratic Convention meets.

Corporal Tanner had a mouth.
but he said his mouth, whatever
other people might say about it, was
always his friend. Joseph G. Can
non, of the Fifteenth Illinois district,
also has a mouth, but this mouth is
not his friend. It is an offensive,
unruly mouth, and Joe lacks the
judgment to manage it. It gave
him maladorous notoriety on the
tnira ot beptember, when he let it
have too much of its own way, and
he has been in trouble about it ever
since. He succeeded in securing a
renommation to Congress, and it is
said now that this mouth is going to
beat him. The self-respecting Re
publicans of his district repudiate it.
and fourteen Republican newspapers
in Cannon s district, and among
them the leading paper in the dis
trict, published in his own town,
which has supported him for
eighteen years, refuse to support
him and become responsible for any
further disgusting exhibitions of that
dirty mouth.
Sig. Succi, the Italian faster, has
arrived in New York where he pro
poses to give an exhibition of his
fasting abilities. He fasted thirty
days in Lisbon, thirty in Milan, thir-
ty.five in Brussels and forty in Lon
don. He will try forty-five in New
York. He is about forty-five years
old, and differs from other .profes
sional fasters in that he takes violent
exercise all the time he is fasting,
such as fencing, riding, climbing,
walking, etc. He takes absolute
ly nothing after entering upon his
fast except a small dose of laudanum
at the beginning to soothe his stom
ach when the pain sets in after the
first few days of fasting. This will
be his thirty-fourth fast.
The Philadelphia Press, Republi
can, has been feeling the pulse of
members of the House of Represen
tatives on the reciprocity question.
It interviewed 101 Republicans and
40 Democrats with the following re
sult. Republicans who favor it in
some shape, 77; Democrats, ditto 29;
Republicans who doubt its practica
bility 15, Democrats ditto 3; Repub
licans who oppose it 3, Democrats
ditto 7. The agricultural sections,
West and the South favor the
system as they want a wider market
for their farm products, the home
market humbug having exploded.
Gen. Palmer, who is a candidate
for United States Senator from Illi
nois, thus tersely draws the distinc
tion between Senator Farwell, his
competitor, and himself. "Mr Far
well and I in old times were Demo
crats. We went into the anti-slavery
movement together. I went into
the army; he didn't. He made
money; I didn't." The probabilities
are that if Farwell didn't make
money, he never would have gone
into the Senate.

THE COTTON CROP-
Reports of Damage from South Atlantic
States.
The rains that have fallen almost in
cessantly for the past two weeks along
the South Atlantic coast, extending
well into the interior, have prevented
picking to a very large extent, and have
besides caused considerable damage to
the crop.
In South and Southwest Georgia
there has been more or less loss from
the rust, and there will be no top crop,
while the middle and bottom crop will
be only fair. It is now believed that
the loss in yield will be fully 20 per
cent.
In Middle and Upper Georgia and
Alabama the complaints of boll worms
are general, where they have played
havoc with the plant and will damage
the crop fully 10 per cent. Rust was
general all over the South Atlantic
States, and it has resulted in injury ; to
the quality and body of the cotton to
some extent.
Theconditions appear to be more fa
vorable in North and South Carolina,
although there are complaints of rust ih
the latter State, and from some parts of
North Carolina complaints ot injury
caused by too much rain.
In the face of these discouraging re
ports the receipts of cotton in Wilming
ton are unprecedentedly large for thus
early in the season, averaging for several
days past oyer two thousand bales per
day; the total receipts since the first- of
September being 19,093 bales.

That Cotton Corner.
The Charlotte Chronicle publishes a
dispatch from Montgomery, Ala., which
says:
The Farmers' Alliance scheme-to cor
ner the cotton crop of the South and
hold it for better prices, is exciting the
most absorbing interest. Telegrams re
ceived yesterday from four or five of the
biggest cotton counties in the State are
to the effect that nearly all the crop is
being held on the farms, and very little
is finding its way to market. Farmer
Alliance leaders are sending about cir
culars urging the members to stand together.
N(j
THE RICE CROP.
Rains Causing Damage in the Carolina
and Georgia. ,
Rice planters in the Carolinas and
Georgia are very much disturbed at the'
continuous rains, which are having a
very telling effect on the rice crop now
being harvested. Rice planters say
that the rains have covered the territory
from Charleston to the Satilla river, and
most complaints come from planters
Aip the Savanaah and Black rivers and
from the Ogeechee' river. The Savan
nah Morning News says that the rice
already cut and stacked is now heating
and becoming mow-burnt. That on
the stubble is also sprouting, while
the rice which is not cut, it
is feared, is becoming over-ripe
Of course, the late rice is all
right and will not be injured by the
present rains. Several planters on the
Savannah river say that fully 10 to 20
per cent, of their crops are damaged,
while others say that about 5 per cent
will cover their loss. The prediction is
made, however, that should the rains
continue four or five days longer the
crops around Savannah will be fully 50
per cent, short.
A Berkeley. S. C, dispatch says the
rice crop on Cooper river this year has
almost been a complete failure. Owing
to the salt river a large portion of the
rice land, though ready for the seed,
was left unplanted. What was planted
has had a hard time, and the crop will
be very short.
The Cape Fear river planters, so far,
report np damage to their crops by the
rains, but are apprehensive of injury
should these continue; a great deal of
the grain having been cut and stacked
in the field. No rice has been milled
here yet, but the Carolina mills expect
to commence milling early next week.
Prostrated by a Congestive Chiil.
Mr. H. C. Prempert was found in his
barber shop on South Front street yes
terday morning in an unconscious state.
He complained Monday evening of not
feeling well, but went to market yester
day morning about 5 o'clock, and it is
supposed that he was taken sick and
walked to his shop, where he was found
a little after 6 o'clock by one of his em
ployes. Mr. Godfrey Hart went to the
shop at 7 o'clock and saw him sitting in
a chair unable to speak, and in a semi
conscious condition. He was conveyed
to his home and medical assistance
summoned; but the efforts of the physi
cians seemed to be in vain until about
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when he
rallied somewhat and was able to recog
nize his family and some friends who
were present. He soon, however, re
lapsed into unconsciousness again, and
at 11 o'clock last night was in a most
critical condition. The physicians say
that he had a congestive chill early in
the morning, and that he is much pros
trateu by it.
The many friends of Mr. Prempert
hope to see him fully recovered in a few
days, and sincerely trust that his sick
ness is only temporary.
British Bark Belgium.
A port warden's survey will be held
to-day on the British barque Belgium,
towed into Southport Sunday last in a
leaky condition. Capt. Sanford, the
master of the barque, was in the city yes
terday. Vessel and cargo are both in
sured. It is understood that there will
be no question of salvage, an arrange-
having been ment made by the master
of the barque with the captain of the tug
Blanche to pay the latter $500 for the
services rendered.
DEMOCRATIC RALLY.
There will be a meeting Friday even
ing, the 19th inst., at 8 o'clock in the
City Court room.
All Democrats of New Hanover coun

of importance is to come up for action.
