sEcxingtoa gjispatcfc. | WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 4, 1SS!>. ! . I G- M. HARM AN. ... - Editor, j Thi: Board of Directors of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange has ; issued a call for a convention of all the American Exchanges to meet in New Orleans oa Wednesday, September lltli. to take some joiDt action on the baggiDg problem, which is just now so greatly agitating cotton circles. In dealing with the bag- i 1 ging qnestion it is not tbe purpose of this convention to legislate for or against any style of covering for cot- | tou bales, bnt to remove the present very damaing impediments to the use of lighter covering. Having p]?od both on an equality as to tare, each may be left to make its way and thrive accordingly as it may command favor by seutiment or merit. ' i 1 At Jacksonville, Ala., there was a ( nuique reunion on Saturday last, j C< 1 ?red men who served in the Con- ! ^ i . federate army in various capacities, I as teamsters, servants, cooks, *tc, 1 1 had a Confederate reunion. The day ; * was celebrated with a barbecoe, ! ' cpeeches and baseball. At night j 1 there was a debate on the qnestion ' whether the Democratic or itepoolican party was the best friend to the ( Degro?the Democratic side beiDg necessarily represented by Itepubli- 1 cans. great good humor prevailed ' throughout. The negroes who were E in the war and heard bullets whistle 1 are very proud of the affair. t _ t The cotton factors think that the 6 farmers are holding cotton back. ' Charleston has received only 277 c bales against 948 np to this day last a year. The same decrease in receipts * a'so prevails at other points. 8 =============== 6 Charleston is putting up a factory for the manufacture of pine straw 8 bagging, which has been tested with most satisfactory results, standing t hook, fire and water even better than 8 the jute material. n v It is said that cotton covered with n , pinestraw bagging subjected to the r severest test of scew, hook fire and o water, stood the test even better than t! common jute bagging. d : . ii Severe storms in Wakayaona vs Japao, followed by floods destroyed a t the lives of ten thousand and ren- C dorpd t.wpntv thousand homeless. The widow of Mr. Jann has received two thousand dollars v Bl^^jtQm^theJKDig^,4^ of Pythias. ^jjU Judge Wallace has denied the ap- 8 plication of Mr. W. B.

Through the mi6t and fogs is dimly discernable the steady beacon light which will guide us safely into port. "Then Christian look ud and be joyful; c The gloom that mantles the sky. Thecloudsthat are now frowning above thee. 1 Will melt at the glance of His eye." * ^ h tna aftar oil tho hnflfetins?

Our < biessed Redeemer told bis disciples j < long ago that bis kingdom was not } of this world, else would his subjects fight for him. He knew that the ( ^ kingdoms and honors of the world , belonged to Satan, for be bad boldly , and impudently taken him up into < an exceedingly high mountain, and , spread them all oat in panoramic view before him and offered to give them all to him if be would simply j fall down and worship him! Alas! ? what dire comity would have overI c wheimed the human race had he ac- j ; ( cepted the offer. Angelic hosts were j bendiog near and wheo he bid the j ? i f arch tem.pter to get behind birn and J i < begone, they, came and mioistered : nnto him as they do to bis faithful j j followers when they gain a victory , Over bim. . But, sad to say, there are so many j who profeS9 to love and follow him ^ who parley with Satan and allow bim ^ to stand before them, and look at j tbern with his fascinating eyes, and j ll-ish his firey horns till they are ' dazzled and begin to compromise i with him, and tay what a pity to j i lose the cbauce of doing so much | i good as I can do with so much j s we-iith and honor. So they conclude to take as ranch as they can carry and do his bidding. But they quiet tbesr conscience by "giving liberally to the Lord" in the shape of building churches, school bouses, asylums, etc. They help the poor, and comfort the widow and orphan, and sanctimoniously pray "thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven;" but they scruple at nothing that will bring in the money. 0 the inconsistency of those who repeat the Lord's prayer and then do their best to establish the kingdom of Satan aod prevent the establishment r\K flv** t?Jr>nrHrvm A f f hfl APTO How dare any proh-ssmg Christian go to the communion table to commemorate tbe dying love of Jesus and then go out and sell whisky, tobacco, j arsenic or opium, or any other poisonious drink or drug to be used in- j discriminately when they know it j will work the ruin of those who use \ it and help to send 00,000 of their fellow beings to drunkard's graves j j jvery year. Every intelligent person in this en- ! lightened age mast know that if they j aaoder to a depraved appetite to the j ruin of the young aod risiDg genera:ioD for the sake of gaiD, they are jut making merchandise of the bodes and souls of maD, and literally j building for Satan aod not for God, j aotwitbstaDding their professions of Jevotion church, Sunday school, &c. Shame on the nation who send j nissionaries to convert heathen Mo- j jammedens, Buddhists, &c , who are ; lober and industrious, and allow bar- j els of whisky and boxes of tobacco o go iu the same vessel to steal away heir brains and torn them into fiends md vagabonds. For the first time n my life I felt like blushing for my lonntry when I learned that she alone imoDg all the leading nations refused o sign an international treaty not to ell intoxicants to the nations of the ea, who are being ruined thereby. *o wonder the judgments of God re abroad in the land. Satan evidently realizes that his ime is short and hence his activity all .long the line. His emissaries have made the church their stronghold ?here they expect to bide their diminished beads wbeq the day of eckoning comes. Under the gnise f Christianity they *are potting in beir best work for their master. Self eceived and deceiving they are beapmg up wrath agaiost the day of rratb. But the time has come when distinction is to be made between hHsL^flJfclj^jist?between the ilift the measures of his satanic ffajesty, the contest will be short as C decisive. He will ma^ke all able he can, butrJhac. to mtant. love which devise^ the lou8 plan of redemption, he 1 pill not preva'l. "O. Christian look up and be joyful. Look calmly and never repine. Tho' trials may sometimes oppress thee, O think what a Saviour is thine. Look up. look up o'er the turbulent sea; Lo. thy Redeemer is coining to thee. O let thy heart like the waters be still. Fervently, lovingly bow to his will." For only will those who love his ippearing bow to bis will, but they tot ODly pray but work intelligently md faithfully for tbe cpbnilding of lis kingdom, and rightly discern the tign of tbe times, ttiey will perceive he fulfillment of the scriptures, "old hings are passed away, behold all hings are become new," and rejoice hat even now there is 'Lieht in the darkness, sailor, day is at hand! iee o'er the foaming billows fair heaven's land )rear was the voyage, sailor, now almost o'er: >afe within the life boat, sailor, pull for the shore."

" [From Our Regular Correspondent.] t Washington, August 3rtb, 18S0. j Senator Gorman is said to have j i presided over a secret meet- j I i j ing of prominent Democrats held at-; a country house in Maryland j this week to arrange a j j program ior me uemocratic minority | in the House. Mv informant says I [ that while it was not definitely set| tied, it was generally understood i 1 that the Republicans would not be j permitted to make sdv radical i changes in the present rules of the j House, nor will they be permitted to j unseat Democrats without good and i sufficient reasons. If "he who hesitates is lost," some- i ' ; body should be prepared to go in ; search of President Harrison for he ; still hesitates, aud hesitates as to whether an extra session of Congress shall be called. Some people do not mind to say it is fear and not hesitation that ails the president. Perhaps it is and perhaps there will be no j ; extra session. : i To-day we have as many as three ; Cabinet officers in town at one time j for the first time in several weeks. Frank Halton has printed a fac- i i simile of a letter written by Civil Ser- | vice Commissioner Roosevelt, and he -j ' wants to know from the Commis- j < sioner if the writer could pass the ex- j amination for copyist. From the j l^nl-a r>f his wriiirifr Mr. Roosevelt ! " j ' must have taken lessons from the ; ' late Horace Greely. Society people, the few at present | I g that are in the city, are discussing the ! . important (to tbem) announcement, ! 1 just made, that Mrs. Harrison will not i shake hands at the White House receptions this winter. It is stated that the building of the war ship ''Texas", about which there is so much mystery, will be investigated by Congress. The Navy de~ 9 partment is at present trying to find onhwhether she will float, if finished t under the present plans, which we/e purchased of an English firm of ship ^ builders, if it is ever completed, will cost over $2,000,000. If stopped now the Naval officers say the loss will be more than $250,000. j Everybody argues that the World's Exposition of 1892, should be held under the authority of the National Government and in a representative American city. This is a strong double argument of its being located at Washiogtoo, which is the only city j completely controlled by the Govern- ^ cnent, as well as he only city in the &jp?ted States of more than 200,- i speaking, called an American citeHB More than 90 per cent, of the J^H habitants of Washington are natflBB born American. The fight on the Civil Service which is being made here got personal this week when some ifHfl qnisitive newspaper man while rash-^B ing around at the War department fouud a copy of an order issoed in ? o n I ' lbt)3 dismissing <jmi oervice v^uujmissioner Lyman from the army. J He sent it to his paper as a special j and it was telegraphed back to a local paper. It was, however, a rather ^ short-lived sensatioD, as a little inves- ^ tigation in the War department brought another order to light revoking the first oDe and granting Lyman ao honorable discharge. It is very uufair to make such attacks. Had the man who found the first order j made any inquiry at the department he would have learned of the existence of the second, but that would J have spoiled his sensation. To the credit of the most prominent opponents of the Civil Service law, be it said they oppose all such methods as 4that adopted by this sensatioo 1 monger. They are fighting the law, not the gentlemen who are Commissioners under the law. The country .will breathe freer now that the Treasury department has announced through actiug Secretary Bathcfceller that it will not permit a ( financial panic during the present Administration. The announcement , was made to allay the fear caused by a newspaper report of a WaU street trust formed to either raise the price dow being paid by the Treasury department for bonds or to throw the country into a financial panic. The Wall street sharks may quake in their boots, or shoes, when j " ' l~ _ l Im-k./i Hl.tlAn So(?.
