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.

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

Severe storms in Wakayaona vs

t
Light ia the Darkness. s
If the darkest time is jast before t
day, then the darker it gets the fl
brighter the prospect that the Day ^
Star of the Christian's hope is abont ?
to arise aod that the angel of peace j
is hovering very near with healing in ?
his wings. t
How cheeriog the thought that t
though clouds and darkness are
round about us, and tempests loudly <;
roar--though the ship which we i
once thought secure is parting <,
asunder soon to become a dismantled
vessel, yet the life boat is both capacious
and strong, and the Captian of
oorSalvation isat thehelmn. 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." * ^

over, how sweet to near our home, <
! *
sweet home?our Father's house of j t
many mansions so kindly provided j (
for our reception; and even before ^
we reach its shiniDg portals to descry j
a '"light in the window" for us, (
which paternal solicitude and loving (
hands have so earefally located. 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.

the Lord's prayer and then do
their best to establish the kingdom of

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

Thomas S. Waring, j
Washington Letter. "
[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
