Seto SIX DOLLARS PER ANNUM VOLUME VII.-NUMBER 1046 BY TELEGRAPH. TUB WASHINGTON ELECTION. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL IN TEE HANDS OF A MOB OF NEGRO RIOTERS. t BLOODY FIGHTS WITH THE POLIOS. WasanoTOW, Jane 7.-The municipal elec? tion in this city to-day waa carried by the Radi? cals, their opponents offering: hut slight oppo? sition. The polls were abandoned almost en? tirely to the negroes. A very serions riot took pk ce in the Second Ward. The negroes chased * conservative black man to his house and assailed tte dwelling. The inmates escaped from the rear. The conservative negro found re? fuge in an upper story, when the police ap? proached, surrounded the house and brought him down, eodosing bim in a hollow square. They thus carried him to the polia where he Toted. The negroes at this became furious, and threw vol lies of stones and fired pistols at the njface. The chief of police was wounded in the arm. and ordered his force to fire Over the heads of the black mob. This to increased the violence of the riot tere that the police were compelled to fire a volley directly tuto them, killin,- one anl wounding three, when the mob Had. Earlier in the day a policeman was cut with a razor and seriously beaten in the Six ; h Ward. Blot? ing also occurred in several of the other wards, but in every oase was ooufined exclusively to negroes. The polioe have behaved well. The negrota are very disorderly to-night, and axe drinking freely, whian causes muon apprehen? sion for the peace of the community during the nirht, La.ns.-The turbulence seems to be subsi? ding. Ike prompt action of the polioe has struck terror among the violent and riotous, while orders lo the Marine Gorps to hold themselves in readiness to move at a moment's warning to any part of the ci ty .have in a mea sure quieted the fears of the community. It is bot Just to say that no respectable colored citizens of Wa abington participated in or en t .ouraged Ute dia tm banoo. Bot FOB, CUBA. Nsw Tons. June 7.-It is reported that a clip? per ship with eight hundred men, commanded ky Wm. Hurdney, of Cincinnati, sailed on Sat? urday to join the Cob ins nuder C?spedes. Ike men left New Toikon schooners, oolensi kly for an excursion to the fishing banks, and boarded the dipper below the lightship. Most of them were Western man and had serv? ed under Sherman or Thomas. EUROPE. PROMULGATION OT TUB NEW SPANISH 00M8TT TDTIOH. . MADRID, Juoe 6.-The co .stitntion was pro- , mulgated yesterday with great pomp. Tbe Executive Council and Cortee appeared on a ; platform, where tbe Secretary of the Cortes : read the ooustituiioo, which was loudly sp- ? ?lauded by tbe immense ron course. On re? turning to tbe Cbs aber, each member of the I Corte? swore to protect and support the con- \ I stitntion. After the promulgation some few < I kisses were heard, and a tumult ensued, I which only subsided when the Governor of < Madrid rushed among the foremost rioters, < shouting ' Pica aoverania nacional.'1 'ibis 1 .hanged the feeling of the fluctuating mob, i which joined in cheering with the Governor < and the tumult subsided. Only two were kill- i ed, but several wounded. The deputities sub- . sequen tty returned to the platform and review- i ed 80,000 troops. The enthusiasm on all sides ; was very great. It waa noticed, however, that none of the Republican deputies participated in ? the proceeding. A ci vio procession followed the review, after which came a grand banquet and fireworks. Over 100,000 persons from the country visited Madrid during the day. A bill will be introduced in oonnod creating Serrano regent of Spain, but without power to sancflbn laws or to dissolve Chambers. The : direct taxes in the Spanish colonies have been ; reduced one-half and a small export duty on i sugar, rom and tobacco imposed. Much anxiety is felt here in regard to Cuba. The unes si ness is increased by the fact that i the government is un willing to publish the tel- 1 eg rams which it leoeives from Cuba. MBsm?MS?avjsrr^ai THC nous* or io ODS.

I FROM TUE STATE CAPITA!. The Ajcrlealtaml Pair in November The Post?mee-Crops-Segro Labor The c ni vt rs I ty- Bones found nuder tue Ruin? of the City. j rao M oro own OOKBKSPOKDBNT.] COLDUBIA, Jane 7.-The City Council is a1 readv engaged upon the matter of providing a suitable plane and necessary buildings for the flrat annual fair of the State Agricultural and Meoh inical Society, which is to be held on the 10th of November. The first point-the agree? ment upon a lot for the fair-has not yet been decided; but tho probabilities jost now point towards selecting the University grounds lyme in front ol the campus of that institution. A committee of the Council is co-operating with the committee of thc society, aud the matter will be attended to in due time. The objec tion to uaiog the Old Fair Grounds is that tbe land is in cultivation, and the cotton will not be gathered in time to erect buildings for the fair. TES POSTOFFICE. The inauguration of the negro regime at the poBtoffioe has been the absorbing topic for nearly a week. At first Wilder and bis corps of clerks ware io the gravest oonfusion. Mails kept comiua in laster than they cou'd be CU'B tiibuted. Distributed mail-matler was pnt into wiong places. Deliverable mail-matter was sent to the wrong address. For a day or two the oodeat pranks were played by the alpha? bet. M's and Wa, X's and F's, P's, J's, D's and B's were mixed up in utter disregard of primers and pedagogues. Io a coupla of dajs a change for the better came-names of tbe same letter got together, and went out togeth? er; such as Symns ers, buber and s aluda Facto? ry, all to tbe same person, lt is probably with? in bounds to say that mistakes of this kind wrong deliveries-occurred in hundreds of cases. Delays were by thousands. Mr. Lea phar t, the former assistant post? master, was implored to give a helping hand. Early in the week Wilder begged him to accept his former position upon bis owa conditions - that is, to take io his own corps of subordi? nates. This offer, on account of ba si ness re? lations, was put off until tbe end of the week. To-day the community rejoices in the proba? bility of its being accepted, ir so, order, promptness and accuracy are to be looked for. Under the regime of the past week an outraged community bastad substantial reason to cry out against the nuisar.ee of such a corps of clerks; and it bas cried out. With the re? employment of the former assistant, and his experienced corps of white clerks, will come a new and agieeable phase of the matter. Wilder will have secured a degree of respect and confide DOC with the community, which could never be his were he to succumb to the dictation of party influence in retaining incom? petent employees in the postoffice. The jam ot negroes at the general delivery during the past week has been unprecedented. They seem lo take for granted that a negro clerk in the Dostofllce ought to have more let? ters for negroes tuan a white one. Is there not some way in which this might be so? Tbe inquiry is suggested by the circumstance en? tirely. THE OBOP3. The hopes of farmers may bo quoted as firm, arith an upward tendency. The warm weather of the past ten da> s has given an opportunity io work tbe crops weil, and the results are de? cidedly favorable. Cotton is becoming healthy; ind, although not as thick as desirable, may be said to be almost enough except in a few places. This thin stand bas, in addition to its thinness, the advantage in many cases ot strong fertilizers; so that we may reasonably count on a very floe yield to the s'a Ik. And in general there appears DO reason now why the yield of cotton shall not be at least fair. With the most favorable conditions of good seasons and late fall, it may be good, if not floe. The partial success of a few of the freedmen last year has induced a good many of them to venture upon planting for themselves-rent? ing lands and conducting the business by themselves. At this, failure is almost certain. As laborers they ara working as usual; that is to say, like free negroes always work. A practical planter estimates that one slave did as much work as three freedmen will do. Dreamers about negro educability imagina that there is an experiment being made with ne gr > labor. It is no experiment at all. Three thousand years just past are full of proofs opon tbe question. When forced by other men to do so, the negro will work, otherwise he will not. The negro was so in Homer's time, has been so in all times since then., and is so to-day. The North American Indian will go to wo.-k about as soon as the negro. ITEMS. At the University initiatory Bte pa are bamg taken towards the examination and commence? ment-now known as the Public Day-wbicb are to close tbe present session. The examination opens on the 15th, aud doses on the 26th; the Public Day comes on Tnesday, the 29ch in? stant. The annual festivity, usually known as commencement ball, is to be given at the Co? lumbia Hotel on the night of the Public Day. Day bet?re yesterday ware found nnder the rains of Kinsl er's Hall, in this city, bumed by Sherman's anny in 1865, the bones of a man. A dice-box and di : e. also an axe, were found with them. These facts somehow have cre? ated the general impression that the bones are those of one ot Sherman's enterprising defen 1 era of the Union; and it is a notorious fact that the axe waa very freelv need by those de end? ers while in the capital of South Carolina. lhere is one fact, however, that militates against the correctness of this general conclu? sion-the bones are those of a negro. COBSAIB. WHERE THE WEST IS. The Chicago Tribune says : Chicago is no longer a Western, but is an Eastern city. It is only 9u0 miles to the At? lantic coast, while it is 2350 nines to the Pacific coast. Dividing the Union into east, centre and west, each division is abo it 1100 miles wide. The eastern division will embrace all the Stales lying east of tho Mississippi River; the central,* all the States and Territories) be? tween the Mississippi and tho Bocky Moun? tains; and the western, all the States and Ter? ritories between the Bucky Mountains and the Pa nic coast. Somewhat the largest of those three great divisions is the central. And. as? tonishing as it may appear to those who have not ex-mined tho map carefully, the territory lying west ol the Bjcky Mountains contains as many square miles as the territory east of the Mississippi River, notwithstanding this com prises eleven Southern, all of the so-called ' Eastern" and "Ceutral" States, and ali of the old "Northwest." The completion of the Pa? cific Kui way has changed tbetormer west into east and central, and moved the west 1200 miles towards the setting sun- The actual west consists of California. Oregon, Washing? ton, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Montana, Wyo? ming, and the major portion of Colorado and New Mexico, lt is hard to realize tho truth that Chicago is an Eltern city, and that Illi? nois is not even a ceutral, bul is an eastern State. Omaha which has always been iegar ded as on the western verge of the "Far West," is in fact 150 miles east ol tho centro of the Union I We are nat surprised, therefore, that the citizens of that enterprising little place resent tbe imputation ot being in tho Far Weet. In short, this is a tolerably long "keutr j " from east to west, and when the Dominion is "ab? sorbed" the distance will be eq laliy j as great trom north to south.* "KING COTTON." A GREAT CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE DEPOSED MUM ARCH. HOW TO PLACE HIM ON HIS THRONE AGAIN. Speech of ? Radical Mississippi Senator and Planter. A STARTLING EXPOSE. While the Southern Commercial Convention was in session at Memphis, General J. L. Al? corn, United States senator elect from Missis? sippi, delivered before a committee of cotton growers a speech, which contains statements in regard to the cultivation of cotton in the Sonth, which ate as startling as they are strange. Senator Alcorn gives in detail the facts and fleures from which he draws his conclusions, and his views are so important, whatever their intrinsic soundness, that we present to our readers a comprehensive sum? mary of the principal points made in l>?j elab? orate speech. After speaking of the financial imporlance of tbe production of raw cotton nod its power before the war as a peace makei, he describes the unfaltering struggle of En eland against our cotton supremacy, ODO of wlnse results was the formation of the Manchester Cotton Supply Association, which wields enormous wealth, is directed by high practical intelli? gence, and is backed by all the influence of the British Government. Io 186*2 this association was ahead; convinced that America could not for many years to come, if ever, regain the position she had lost, and that of the ?40,000, 000 sterling, up 'o that time the pr.zo of the American planters, other countries should strive to obtain at least ?20 OOd 000. This was tbe basis of what Senator Alcorn called "the conspiracy against Km g Cotton, whioh pro? ceeds on the assumption that the emancipa? tion of the negroes, the exhaustion of the war, the withholding from us of Northern confi? dence and capital will have so reduced our powers ot producion, that giving what is called 'a start' to competition on the part of thirty-five other countries, this Amer ici of ours, if not driven wholly from tbe market, will be, at all events, degraded from her su? premacy to the condition of a 'tributary source of supply.'" DETAILS AND. PB OO OE S3 OP THE CONSPIRACY. Tbe combination against Amer io n colton industry reveals its workings over a wide field, lue British Government has lett nothing un? done to stimulate the ouliure of cotton throughout its boundless domain. Companies 1 avo been set going for the purpose in Aus? tralia, io Jamaica aud m Natal, lu that em? pire, on which tue *uu neve, sets whether in India in Africa, or in ber island 1 of tbe oceans. English poliov is working wah the nutty, point and torco ot a principle to break duwn forever the galling monopoly that baa been forced upou ber acceptance by au industrial triumph i h it should warm every Amerioau cueek with a flush of pride. England has also boen Bot lesB active in Turkey, iu Venezuela, and in other foreign con innes in urging tho authorities to t ike steps for fixing cotton culturo among its poa f*U? 4*y a pt-ompt ciBPleymetit of the opportuni? ty offered bv the difficulties of these United States. France is also in the field, and in Algeria colton is exempt from taxation, its quality is made a subject of l?tate prizes, and free gifts of land are off-red to associations wbiou will enter upon its cultivation. Greece has reduced her tax on cotton one-half. Brazil is distribut? ing imported seeds. Austria aud Morocco have alBO (allen into line. Egypt has doubled her production. Portugal bas abolished tbe import duties on cotton for ten years, has offered premiums for its production, and makes free gifts to the planters of soeda and implements. Italy has run laihoaus into her cotton districts, and invites foreign and do? mestic capital by most liberal offers. Of the increased foreign production Sen it or Alcorn says : "Hayti had, between 1860 and 1862, increased her exports of cot iou three? fold. Malta produced in 1162 four times as much as she bad in 1861. Smyrna, w neb had reappeared in the cotton market in 1861 to tbe extent of 10 000 bales, contributed to it in 1862 as many as 60,000 bales. Twenty-six som ces of supply furnished contributions bf raw mate? rial to the mills of Manchester in 1860. but in 18C4 the number has inoreaseTl to thirty-nine, and the thirteen new sources are not all un? worthy of serious attention. Arnon ? them we find Japan to the extent of 21000 bales ; Tur? key to tbe number of 38 OOO bales ; Hong Kong to the extent of 77,000 bales; China to tbe num oer of 140 OOO bales-a startling result of the labors of this conspiracy tor but three short years. Nor is this all ; many of the sources of supply in 1860 had contributed to tbe English demand of 1864 in volumes enormously in? creased. The Egyptian contribution to tbe British markets bad expanded from 98,000 in 1860 to a-much, in 1864. as 280 000bales. The Brazilian importations of cotton into England had increased between 1860 and 1834 from 88, 000 bales to 85 000 bales. The Indian fibres entered at British ports in 1860 reuched 455, 000 bales ; but in 1864 they had gone up to 970,000 bales." SUPERIORITY OF FIBRE. Senator Alcorn then explodes the old theory of i fibre monopoly, by which is meint the ability, through climate, of producing a supe? rior fibre to that of other countries. He shows that Hayti, Morocco and Algeria produce quite as good a staple, and that in other countries the development of greater skill and the appli catioo of manures are steadily producing bet? ter staples. He says : "No fewer than thirty-five coun? tries seut specimens of cotton to the London Exhibition of 1862. Au English cotton broker, , a mao moteover of decided ability, was select- , ed to decide that point in ox i ct detail. As a \ basis of classification, he assumed good mid - j diing New Orleans at thirteen peu JO per pound. . Thirteen peuce was the average of his valua- j tioua of sevan specimens sent from the Baba- , mas. Fourteen pence was the average ot the price he set on three samples J rom the Berum das. From eleven pence to three shillings was tbe range of values which he attaches to thir? ty-four different cottons pioduc d in Guade? loupe, an island in the French WeBt Ind ii e. The Jamaican samples, in all twenty-two, ho estimate 1, for long staple, at prices between - two and three shillings; for short staples, prices 1 between eleven pence and eighteen pence. The '? returns made by the British Board of Trade state the average cost per hundred weight of , thc different cottons imported into England in 1864. The American qualities being Bet down in those statistics at ?1311s. ld. per cwt; those ' of fifteen other sources ot supplv are Bet dowu i at amounts varying between ?1212s. and ?13 t 7s. 9J. Wilh a difference so small out ween our , fibres and those of the fifteen couuirica refer? red to, what bec jmes of the t.ieoiy that places , us in possession of an iuv.siblo Youopoly by virtue of a climate of special ti bivi, wheu it is Known that ihoso fifteen countries include H^yti, San Domingo, Venizuelu Honduras, Egypt, Brazil and the West Indies ?'* added to 1 this is the fact that foreign m ? nu; ac Hirers i changed the character of their macbineiy at ? thu time or tue interruption of tho American \ supply, so as to work the Indian nd other . cottons. Reviewing the pros rc ES mado in India and 1 ? he statements made by trustworthy peruons. : Senator alcorn comes to the conclusion that, "taking into consideration the met thal ihe operatives of England havo ht come accustom? ed to tho manipulation of lucian cottons, and tbe still more ominous fact of modifications made in English machinery with ti o view of better adaptation to these fibres wc find nuoh , more reason for apprehending that events may before long be found to have < xpanded the application of our theory of cotton cliumio lo a width covering even tho most mfeiior cottons of India. A scrutiny of our position shows that our selfish over-confidouoe in refei once ,o tho competition of India may prove dange? rous.'* "Our supposition that other countries cannot equal us in the quality of the fibre breaks' down before thc laois developed in Hayii and else where. Of the thirty-five countries represent? ed in the ootton conference in London, soveral oame within the operation of onr theory of fibre climate.. A large number ot the partici? pants in that anti-American conspiracy repre? sented lands within the basin ol the Mediter? ranean. Taking in both cases tho beat aver? ages, or, as they are died, the isothermal teats of similarity of climate, a glance at a physical atlas will show that the countries along the shores of the Mediterranean-except? ing those affected by local causes-enj >y a cli? mate similar to that of our own cotton belt, The question of value in cotton is not, how ever, one of theoretical deduction. Those of Egypt, for example, bad proved themselves, for twenty years befort our civil war, to be of thc very choicest qualities. The Turkish fibres-those of the Levant-were known half a century ago to be equal to the very finest in the market. The Algerine cottons are, it ?s true, affected by the influenae of the desert, but those of Moro ci o. sheltered by Mount Atlas, and moistened by the influence of the ocean currents, represent admiraule fibrcB. Cotton ha? been produced in Italy for nearly a thousand years. Its growth has never been totally Riven up in t'iat oouotry; the plant bas continued to grow under all vicissitudes of tyrann ? and violence. To-day it is cultivated tbere for domestic consumption in several of the provincos. In our time o it too has been exported from that country iu large quantities. During the continental Bys cm of Napoleon Bonaparte the raw material oould not be ob? tained m Europo fr m any source, and this stimulated the growth ID me Iialiao peninsula to 8U3h an extent as to nave superseded tbere even the fig, tho mulberry, and tho olive. Per? fectly available, tbereiori-, for all the pumo-es of the conspiracy a.ain6i Amoricin indus tty are toe fibres of the peninsula and islands of the Italian kingdom. Confidence in our mono poly ot i he fibre climate proves to be a bruken reed. Within tbe limits of that theory, as we held it. wo find ourselves confronted with hos? tile movemems in Eg* pt. Turkey, Greece, Malta, the Ionian Islands, Morocco, and Italy. But the aotual danger of the combination BA"ainsi the proudest victory of American in? dustry has been shown to embrace, besidoa these, Brazil, India and Hay u." THE A OE A AVAILABLE FOB OOTTON PRODUCTION According to Senator Alcorn the average that may be diver ed in India to cotton, is not so great as is gener illy supposed. In Brazil tue quantity of land available for cotton pro? duction is set do?n as practically unlimited; iuEgvpt, 3 000.000 acre?; in Hayti 3,000,000 acre- ; and in Italy, 8 000.000 acres. E?ypt and Italy alone are feta ted to bo able to occu? py fully our former place in the market of too woila, wimont including India, Turkey, Hay ti, Brazil, and the West Indies, and that now foreign colton, which can be procured in un? limited quantities, ia well suited to from fifty to seventy-five per oenr. of the purposes of the mill owners. THE QUESTION Ot PRICE. He theo touches upon tbe question of price and shows therein another dinger. Am, rica is not now in condition to prouuoe cotton at any min g like the prices prevailing prior to the war, whilst, on tbe other band, loreign couu tues, by means of a cheap labor system, are producing at pnces not muon above the low? est that ever prevailed in trna country. "The report of tbe Cotton Conference of London goes wi tb precision into tue question of the trice at which cotton can bo produced ia the several countries represented in that anti-American conspiracy. Two penco half? penny per pound will, according to Dr. Forbes, pay for t ie.production of cotton in ludia. And Mr. chapman, the manufacturer quoted in the chapateo of tbe British Secro tary of Legation at Petersburg, says that the displace .ont from tbo market of fifty per oent. of the American fibres will follow, EO loog as those fibres carry a price higher than the Indian cotton in the proportion of fifteen per cent. In Brazil, the proceedings of tbe cotton conference state that the planters will reap a profit, and the cnltivation will extend at prices as low aa tour ponce per pound. Io Ecuador raw cotton can, it is a leged, ha.produced, jil orofit at four pence por pound. Hix pence' pi pound is sud to be the lowest price at wnioh that culture would pay in Venezuela. At six Donen a pound, on the spot, au increase in the breadth of o ji ton planting would, it is affirm? ed, go on continually in Hayti. From thr e to lour pence is declared to be the cost of produc? ing cotton in Angola, oue of tho African pos sessions or Portugal. lu Greece cotton plant iug canuot be maintained, it uppoars, at less than B?X penco per pound, but auy excess of pnce above tbat will lead, in that country, to its extension. In Italy the cost of producing the fibre is Bet down at from four to six pen^e per pound. The specifications, may be sum? med up. in accordance with the statement of Mr. fYauklyn, by assuming that the contest for the maintenance of our cotton supremacy must be fought at prices not higher than six pence per pound. The vice-chairman of the Cotton Supply Association laya down the precise grouuu OD wbicb the war for the destruction of our prosperity is to be waged. ID a 'racon no sanco of our position' he says: The American planter owns he could not oultivate c mon at the price of four pence per pound. . * * But since 1846 the aveiage phoe has ne /er been nnder BIX pence per pound, ant tbere is every probability that for some years to come he will be unable to afford his article at much less than eight or nine pence per pound; ao that the question for you to consider IB whether your coontry can, under any state of circumstances, produce cotton at six pence per pound, if you can, you are perfectly safe in future competition with America.' " THE P. KM EDY. Senator Alcorn says, iu conclusion, that to make the production of cotton In tbe United States profitable, in face of the various acci? dents which causo a short yield, the cotton in? terests must be made supreme and able to con? trol the market, so as to m ak o good the Bb on? comings by iDcreaae of price. Without a mo- j nopoly thia omoot bo done. To do this, there fore, and to coun eract, so far aa possible, the effect of toe foreign con-piracy, will require vigor?os efforts on the part of the American producers and extensive aid from the Govern? ment in reconstxueting the Mississippi levees. It will not do to strive in tho bat? tle of prices with uplands, averaging from two to five hundred pounds per acrr, forde feat ia certain. We moat tall back upon the rich prairies and valleys of the interior. The prolific fiats of the Mississippi, wino > yield 1600 tu 3000 pounds to the acre, will enable us to bring down prices aud distance foreign rt valry. There are 10 OOO OOO aorea of such landa aiong the Missiamppi Biver, which, properly developed and rendered useful by the con atruction of lovt ea, would again give to our coontry the cotton monopoly of the world. It is, therefore, urged that the couBtruoticn ot those levees is a national interest, and that Congress should be respectfully asked to enter apon this important work of drainage, which Krill enable us to flood the ootton market at prices to crush all rivalry, by the unapproach? able productiveness of the alluvial field ot the Mississippi. -A member of Con grass advertises in a New fork puper a cadetabip appointment to the [Jnited States Naval Academy foi sale. ?-CREDITORS' NOTICE.-ALL PERSONS indebted to Mr. GEORGE H.
