AND ARKANSAS.
NEW ORLEANS, July 9.-The Cot
ton Exchange crop report for June is
compiled from one hundred and four
answers received from thirty.eight
parishes The weathaer during the
month has been very dry compared
with last year. It has been more fa
vorable for cultivating and for planters
to get the crop well worked. There
has been a slight decrease in acreage
since the last report on account of
drought and scarcity of labor. Stands
are reported good except in bottom
lands. The plant is small but form
ing and blooming well. Its present
condition is good and clean, and com
pared with last year favorable. Many
complain of lice and locusts and there
is general complains of drought, many
parishes reporting no rainfall for six
or eight weeks. The crop is backward
in growth, blooming and forming pre
maturely, although about two weeks
later than last year.
From Mississippi one hundred re
plies were received from thirty-three
-counties of an average date of June
80. The character of the weather has

more so than,diuring the same pcriod
last year. There has been no material
change in acreage. The stands are
*generally reported good. Plants are
blooming and forming well. The con
dition of the crop- is good, on the
whole better than last year, but the
plant is immature and ten to fourteen
days later.
For Arkansas, our report is made
up from sixty-nine replies from twen
ty seven counties of an average date
June 30. The weather during June
has been. with few exceptions, very
dry, and-in comipar-ison with the same
time last year decidedly more favorable
for the cultivation of the crop, owing
'i-o excessive rains at the same time
Iast year. There has been a slight de
e-reese in acreage since the last report
in some localities, owmng to excessire
drought. Stands arc reported good.
The plant is small, but blooming and
forming well. The condition of the
crop is clean and free from grass and
weeds, and more favorable than at this
period last year. Rain is very much
needed throughout the State, many
reporting no rains for from six to eight
weeks. The crop is from ten to four
teen days later.

IN TIS STATE
seems to have suffered generally from
drought. The reports above mention
ed were made for the month of June;
the rogtws -them just beginning
to be fetseriously. During this
n.cnth corn and cotton, esptgially the
former. have suffered severely. A
letter to the .Neus and (ourier fro
Geocrge's Station, Col>ton County, of1
the 7th ios.tt, says :
-U g-etatou genera!!y is in a parched

as a complete failure.

With frequent showers during the
remainder of July and August it is
reasonable to predict that three-fourths
of an average crop of cotton vill be
made.
A correspondent from Chester, the
5th says : ;The crops in this section
are still suffering greatly from the dry
weather, and an early rain will alone
avert what seems to be an impending
calamity."
"G. C. D." writes from Barnweli
County to the Yews and Courier,
the 9th instant: -The drought is be
coming alarming in our vicinity
eight weeks has elapsed without suffi
cict rain to moist the soil ; corn is
being totally burned up; should fa
vorable seasons now set in, corn crops
would probably be cut off three
fourths, certainly one-half, and should
the dry wetther continue, a total fail
ure is inevitable. Cotton crops have
held up fincly until the past week, but
are now going back. The present
outlook has a tcndencv to depress
business of every kind; everything is
almost at a standstill."

FOR THE HERALD.
Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. C.,
July 9, 1879.
As elections draw near, and Con
gress is not in session to distract the
attention of politicians, extraordinary
interest attaches to political complica
tions in several States. In Maine, for
instance, where the election takes
place in about two Wouths, the Dem
ocrats and Greenbackers have formed
a compact Union on all except the
Gubernatorial ticket. The disaffection
aMuon' Democrats from this course is
found to be much less than was an
ticipated. Indeed, as it assures the
Lower House of the Legislature to the
cowbiniation, many shifty nondescripts
and stay-at-homes, who, whenever they
have voted, have voted the Radical
ticket, will now vote with what they
know to be the strongest side. The
revolt of intelligent, active and con
sistent Republicans from the B3laine
a d IIamlin serfdom will also certainly
be more pronounced this year than
ast. Of substantial victory there is
ao doubt.
In Qhio, yhere the conditions are
lifierent, there seems to be no good
-eason for any Democrat to euter the
Jreenback party, and there are inidi
-ations that the votbs it will draw

GUNN SimNS, July 12. 1879.
Takingr the 7.30 freight train on Tues
day last at Newberry, we were enabled
to make connection at Alston and reach
Glonn's at 6.1> in the afternoon, via
Spartanburg. Traveling in a freight
box in lot weather is convenient, but
not by any means pleasant, for it is not
only the sleeping apartment of the nr,
gro train hands, but kitchen, eating and
common reception room. and grease
predominates largely. From Alston to
Spartanburg the run was made in good
time, but the dust and the extreme heat
were almost unendurable. At Union
\ve learned with regret that our friend
Stokes was in feeble health and was
about making a visit to Asheville, in
hope of recuperation. Like too many
others, alas, of the Press gang he has
overworked himself. It is hoped he
may find renewed health in that delight
ful mountain region. A very noticea
ble thing about Union is that everybody
is well dressed-nothing shoddy, or
half worn, or soiled is to be seen about
the depot, and if the same holds good
in the town it must be a thriving place.
At Spartanburg our stay was limited to
the time necessary to wash and brush
off the dust accumulated on the rail,
and in a little box of a buggy, innocent
of paint, and beside a colored Jehu in a
greasy suit of Yankee blue, and behind
a halky horse the twelve remaining
miles were made, and here we are,
reader, where we have so often been
before.
Glenn's has put on but little if any
change, and the daily prograimme is
the same, except that there are fewer
sunrise visitors to the fountain of health,
the very best time we opine for drink
ing the water. This may be in part
due to the late breakfast hour-eight
o'clock-the majority-ladies-prefer
ring the enjoyment of turning over in
bed and spending the three hours from
five to eight in a little more slumber'.
Everybody to his or her taste, for our
part we prefer early rising, and the
early potation, although hunger pinch
es. How impatient are the few early
birds.-Major J. P. K., the most restless
of all-who listen for..tho ringing of the
bell; it is sad -to witness, and but for
the obduracy of the lady visitors who
will have their way a compromise
might be effected by making the break
fast hour seven or even half past. They
have put their "foot down on it," how
ever, and eight o'clock it must be.
Clothed in a little brief authority-in
the absence of their husbands-how
they lord it over~ us poor devils who,
under more favoring circunmstances,
are called the "lords of creation." Oh,
woman! but we can stand it if they
can.
The comnpany here at present is
not large in numbers, but happily
is a very sociable one, and notwith
standing the trouble about the break
fast hour we mix delightfully. The
majority, as before said, are ladies,
two of whom are of that refreshing
class old Weller advised Sam to "be
ware of"-a p)iece of advice, by the
way, we never valued worth a cent
and all, widows, wives and maids,
charming and intelligent. Speaking of
the late hours at which brcakfas t is
served, we should have added that no
fault is found with the meal when it
comes for it is guntapt ini variety and
well prepared, the bread especially
good, and judging by the way it disap
pears, a casual visitor would never
think that the company were largely
invalids who scarcely eat anything at
home. It is truly wonderful what an
appetite the water gives and with what
comfort three hearty meals are disposed
of.
One of the features, and one which
deserves. honorable mention is a baby
which never cries. We have seen ba
bies of this happy character at home, in
the dorpestic circle, but wlo ever saw
an infant in a public hotel or on a rail
road which did not make the welkin
ring and put old maids and bachelors
in a fidget. Yes, we have one here,
and the cause is attributed to the sooth
ing, tranquilizing effects of the water.
There are besides some dozen or so of
children who frisk about like so many
lambs, without ever a dispute or crying,
but they beat Comanche Jndians in
shouting.
One of the most important arrivals of
the wveek.is the coming of Colambia's
favorite, Alonzo Reese, tonsorial artist,
:d we for one hail it with inexpressi
ble delight; a comfortable, decent shave
is a positive luxury here, and for the
time enables one to forget the swelter?
ing heat which for two days has run
the thermometer up) to 90.
