guBta cotton pool depends upon the
completion of the estimate of the erop
made by the New York Commercial and
Financial Chronicle, recognized author- {
iky in cotton cirofeo on the product and |
movements of the great staple. Som?
considerable anxiety exists among those
haying part in that pool to know when
the eatimates will be opened. We nn
dotstand that the award will not be
made until the fnll statements of ' tbe
Chroiyich Ui received. On that point
the Cftrwicfe, of the 30th, says:
We expect, to issue our annual orop
report forjjpyear ending August 31, in
circular form, on Thursday, the 11th of
September. Until that time it is im?
possible: for UC tC, giTS auf co11uiutu
s whioh wonld kz of &zj valuo of . the
overland movement or of Southern con?
sumption. We state this in reply to
many letters and telegrams asking for
those .figures. As to the eonsamption
in the Southern SiaUo, we hope to pre?
sent a more exact statement than bas
ever before been given, as we have,
through the kind assistance of the
Census Bureau? been able to write to
every mill and cotton manufacturer
throughout the South, sending oat in?
quiries which promise to furnish us the
actual result rather than an estimate.
We ate pursuing this point the more
earnestly because we feel that it is very
important to relieve these orop reports
of this last vestige of uncertainty. The
overland movement we had already re?
duced-to a> demonstration; hereafter we
truet',wo' fihall be able to say -the same

nessed the last payment of the war debt
of France to Germany. The rapidity
with which 1 his heavy obligation hap
been discharged displays marvelous
financial, strength. France has before
this given evidence of great capacity in
this way. No loans ever went begging
for bidders in the reign of Napoleon
III, and none since; ao it is his country
the Frenchmen has faith in and love
for. In 1869, the year before the war,
France exported to this country $51,
500,000; in 1870, ?52,000,000; in 1871,
nearly $56,000,OOQ; and in 1872. $69,
500,000. Wherever, the great mass of o
population are industrious and econo?
mical, and the country they occupy rich
and fertile, the power of revival is too
great for almost any prostration. If
France Will only be content with the
viotories of peace, she will be as happy
and powerful as she ever can become by
the destructive agencies of war.
The Yieginia Canvass,?The reports
from the Virginia canvass indicate a
. fall vote and an overwhelming Conserv?
ative triumph. General indignation is
felt at the insolent attempt of the Ad?
ministration to control the politios of
the State and organize there another
Louisiana. The, feeling and the activi?
ty of the canvass will probably secure a
majority larger than Governor Walker's
in 1869, for Kemper, the Conservative
candidate. Col. Moaby says that Kem?
per and tbe Conservative ticket will be
elected by from 20,000 to 30,000. It is
said that if the Conservatives carry the
Legislature, there will be a general con?
currence in favor of returning the Hon.
B. M. T. Hunter to the United Status
Senate.
Getting His Bhwabd.?Ex-Governor
Foots, or Mississippi, who has been en?
gaged for several weeks past in writing
Southern reminiscences for a daily pa?
per, will soon, according to current re?
port, be appointed by the President to
an important foreign mission in South
America. Tbe fiery ohronicler 'of past
events, whose denunciations of Jefferson"
Davis and other Sonthorn men havo
proved rich reading for the Northern
minds for Bomo time past, i! the above
i9 correct, is to receive his reward. It
is not strange to account for the cam?
paign literature of the ex-Governor, and
we may now hope to hear that, like
Longstreet, he has received his "thirty
pieces of silver" and is satisfied.
Balloon Betting.? In New York,
there is some betting on the balloon in
the sporting circles about town, but it
is evident that the betting mon don't
believe in it. The odds are overwhelm?
ing against it/and it is hard to find
anybody who will risk anything on it.
That the balloon will neither cross the
ooean nor get half way across, bets are
offered nineteen to one; that it will
never go 100 miles away from land, nine
to one; that tbe balloonists will not stay
?p a siogle day, five to one; that Wise
will never find his Westerly current,
three to ono; that the whole thing will
be a fizzle, two to one; that the balloon
will barst, bets are even.

VlEKNA, AUSTKIA, August 18, 1878.
fit iB no* too: mueh,to ?7. #at yienna
Is the moat vwagnifioently milt city in
the continent. The' houses, both pub?
lic aua pnwe, far surpass those of aby
oity I 'have" yet visited. The finest of
their public buildings is tho new Opora
Souse. It has been quite recently
bnilt, and is very handsomely decorated
with frescoing and statuary. On the
second floor, adjoining the orchestra
ouairs, is a large balcony, whore tho au?
dience promenade and' enjoy their little
flirtations in the intervals of the opera.
Near here is St, Fetor's Cathedral, a
very old but one of the most oostly or?
namented churches in Europe. It is
not very.large, and, judging from its
appearanoe on the outaide, you might
easily pass it by, thinking it nothing
more than an ordinary old Dntob
ohurch. But the interior is all embla?
zoned with gold-plate representations of
tue immortals. One of its most curious
features are the tombs of an old king
and his queen, whose name we were un?
able to learn. On. either side of the
ohurch are two Bide altars, under which
I are glass oases, where lie their skeletons,
decked in gold olotb, so arranged as to
show tho bones. On both, but more
especially the queen, were the most
magnificent jewelry I have ever seen,
except those of the Bight Honorable
Lady Dudley, of England, and those of
Franz Josef, Emperor of Austria, at the
Exhibition Hall. Of all precious stones,
the pearl alone was missing, on account
of its easy decay. Botb were half re?
clining, 60 as to] show the faoa full to
the observer. And what seemed strange,
tho skin of both was perfect, although
only the bones remained of the rest of
the body.
But all this may not interest you; so
I shall say a few words about that centre
of attraction, the exhibition. Wo know
that a ehild frets for a toy, aud having
bough* it, soon tires of it, and throws it
aside; so wein regard to tho exhibition.
Wo hear so much of it, especially in
America, tho groat laughing-stock of
Europe. Of all nations, including the
little principalities of China and Japan,
here represented, we are the vory poor?
est; and of all the States, South Caro?
lina is tho worst. The only thiog she
has here is a handful of sea island
cotton brought here by a oolored man
of - Beaufort. Some poor, half-witted
Eohool-master, aided by an equally as
bright legislature, has built hero au
American school-house, to show Ger
ma-.vjh.ovi she should teach her scholars.
The idea is so elevated, so grand, so
Buperbly lidiculous, that only an Ameri?
can superintendent of virtuous public
schools oould have invented it. Why
should we make ourselves the laughing
stock of all the world for such men?
America is disgraced, degraded, and her
travelers abroad feel it, and are ashamed
to acknowledge themselves her citizens.
Thousands of Americans are abroad,
flooding the markets with their money,
and they are the ones who feel this de?
gradation moat painfully. But an ill wind
must indeed bo bad that blows no one
any good. Perhaps this may teach us a
leBson, aud make us try to redeem our?
selves in *7G. Our machines have done
something towards redeeming tue credit
of the nation. Of all here, the sowisg
machine scemB to attract the most
attention. In this department, the
"Secor," of Philadelphia, excels. It
sews through forty thicknesses of cotton,
or through the wood of a cigar box.
With the same machine, you can make
finer tucking than can be done by hand.
We also have here a machine which can
turn out a shoe in three minutes, aud
one that makes a buoket in even less
time. The last was doing a splendid
businesa here, when the Government
heard of it, and imposed a tax. Such
Bbabby treatment so angered the pro
Erietor, that ho has returned to the
United States. Buckets is something
entirely now here. They oarry their
water in 'flat pails, strapped to the
back. The rest of the exhibition is very
flue. Austria is beat represented. This,
of course, is very natural, it being more
easy and safer to convoy her lino articles
to the hall than other nations. The
most oredit is due to Japan, whom all
praise for breaking through their old
customs, and cutcring the atena to com?
pete with other nations, in many in?
stances successfully. Tho finest of
all thiugs exhibited hero is the
jewelry of Lady Dudley, consisting
of rings, coronets, necklacos, hair
ornamcuts, ate, which is valued at
several million pounds sterling. Amoug
Franz Josef's is tho celebrated Stewart
diamond, uupolished. Tho whole ex?
hibition is nothing moro nor less thnu a
fair oarried on in graud scule. Tho
whole looks like a large store, with all
imaginable articles for sale. The ro?
tunda is very largo, and is wider than
St. Paul's at London, or the Capitol at
Washington. In the centre, a maguifi
cent bronzo fountain, oast in Paris, cools
tho air. From it run eight or ten wings,
which are from to 200 to 250 feet long.
These are all filled with merchandise of
the most superior a uality, with prices cor?
responding, loaded'by different natious.
The exhibition, though grand and im?
posing, does not repay the trip, espe?
cially when the disgraco of the United
States is added.
Last evening, the Emperor gave a
private reception, for gentlemen oniy,
whioh was attended by Senator Robert?
son, of oar Btate, and Gov. Jewell,
Mr. Orr'a auooesaor to Russia. Nothing
but persons holding the highest offices
can attain an invitation; for he is the
proudest monarch in Europe, and boasts
of having a clearer genealogy aud more
regal blood than any king now reigning.
This is the first yoar of the last throe
?or four in which an American has at?
tained tho honor of being prosented,
since never previously has any ono
visited Austria holding high official 1
honors, except tho Minister. After the
presentation of about twenty or thirty
foreigner a, they had a most sbtnpiuous
repast, the best that Vienna oould
afford, Oneof ^nemoBtp?mUarai8he#
wan champagne frozen In the bottles,
so that when tho cork was drawn it
#onld iaour ont like flax9*?i aa'ow.
The Emperor himsolf is a meditrtn size
man, very elender, bat straight - as an
arrow. He has a very small head, which
he makes look smaller by wearing his
hair shingled oloae to it.
There is nothing more of Vienna ex?
cept o few old churches; bot when you
see one you see them all.

Death of Hon. Green Kenduick.?
This distinguished gentleman died at
Waterbury, Conn., on the 27th of Au?
gust. He was a n-iive of North Caro?
lina, and resided there for many years.
He enjoyed the highest confidence and
esteem of the citizens of Connecticut;
was frequently elected to the House of
Representatives, and more than once to
the Senate. In 1851, he was Lieuten
ant-Governor of the State, and subse?
quently in an election by the Legisla?
ture came within one vote of being
chosen Governor. He was twioe Speak?
er of the House.
A Fatal BcnNiNG.?A daughter of
Mr. Boesch, the dyer in King street,
North of Tradd, died on Wednesday,
from the effects of being burned on
Tuesday. She went too near the fire,
where dye was being prepared, when
her clothing became iguited, burning
her body. The lady, who was in her
thirty-first year, had been Buffering
nnder an affliction for years, which
made the sad event more distressing.

Even the Springfield (Mass.) Repub?
lican refuses to believe i oote's stories.
It says: .
"According to 'Hangman Foote,'
Juke Thompson found himself at the
close of the war with 8200,000 of Con?
federate funds (gold) in his custody,
and proceeded to divide with Jefferson
Davis, Judah P. Benjamin, and others.
The story may be true, but it will take
better evidence than the unsupported
word of Foote to make many people be?
lieve it."
Trouble in Suoth Carolina.?Whit
field Swearingen, of Edgefield Court
House, S. C, having been charged with
obtaining goods under false pretences
from an Augusta firm, tho deputy
sheriff of Richmond County attempted
to arrest him with a warrant from Go?
vernor Moses. The frieuds of Swearin?
gen prevented the arrost, but the latter
finally surrendered, and now tho sheriff
is after the friends.

tears and prayers which, the uext night,
is lying on tho baro dissecting board
ready for the student's knife, while tho
fond mother or wife comes day after

Bay;laeiv*. -.?>? J&.
Tbe Judge bolds that tbe State Go?
vernment of Mississippi from 1861 to
1865 (daring tbe war) was revolutionary,
illegal and unconstitutional. That any
law passed by tbe State Government
curing that period, imposing a tax on
the people,for the support of tbe State
Government, was in aid of the rebellion,
and necessarily unoobstitjtional and
void.
That all sales of linds for taxes by the
Government of Mississippi in 1862,
186'J and 1864, during the period of the
late civil war, are nuii and void. Under
his deoision, all tax sales of land between
1861 and 1865 are nullities, and will be
sot aside. It unsettles the titles of pur?
chasers at tax sales to thousands, if not
millions, of acres of land in Mississippi.
The decision is equally applicable to the
sales of lands for taxes in all the other
Confederate States engaged in tbe lato
war, and hence its vast importance.
Render Unto Cojsar, Ac?Tbe fol?
lowing just tribute to the sagacity, en?
ergy aud perseverance of Col. *B. Y.
Sage, the Superintendent of tho Air
Line Railroad, we find in a correspond?
ence of the Greenville Enterprise and
Mountaineer:
But when efforts arc so persistently
rnvJe to ascribe al! credit to a mere
eleventh hour man, and to take it from
those who have borue the heat and bur?
den of the day, it would be wrong in
those possessed of the facts to keep
silence.
If the credit and bouoi connected
with the engineering und completion of
the Air-Line is to be ascribed to any one
mau, there can be but little doubt that
Col B. Y. Sage, of Atlanta, is the man,
who originated the ideu, worked at it
for years on his own resources, and
without pay, in tho n_idst of good re?
port and evil report, who, while not
claiming for himself all the "experience
and science" iu tho world, has patiently
waited for results to prove his "energy,
enterprise and perseverance." Of all
which, in spite of misrepresentation
and detraction, the Air-Line Railway is
his witness and monument.
A Pioneer Methodist?Death of
Rev. Alfred Norman.?This venerable
Methodist minister died at his residence
on tho 25th ult. Of him the Raleigh
Christian Advocate says:
For nearly half a century had he car?
ried the banner of the Cross and waged
a noble Christian warfare, and though
he has fallen after the long struggle,
\ yet it is with the glory of a hero, and
tbe laurels of a victory whoso blessed
fruits he will never cease to gather. He
was widely known in North Carolina
I and Virginia, where his services had
I been rendered und where.his faith and
I good works were appreciated. He was
truly a father in the church, a link con?
necting tbe present with the past gene?
ration, a "Pioneer Methodist," who
witnessed and took part in the early
struggles of Methodism, saw its triumph
and watched its rapid growth.
A Paris correspondcut says there is
much talk there regarding a proposal to
give Marshal MacMahon a lease of
power for three years. The Dac de
Broglie,1 who of late has seemed much
less ardently Orleanist than formerly,
would, it is said, support tho scheme.
The delay of three years would allow
tho Prince Imperial to attain his ma?
jority; ho might then marry the daugh
| ter of the Duke of Magenta, who -is
now thirteen years of age. It is alleged
the empress is favorable to this alliance,
which would make Marshal MacMahon
the father-in-law of an emperor. Her
Majesty agrees, however, only on con
| dition that there should be a majority
in favor of the project. If not, the
Bonapartists will fall bask on their old
| plau of an appeal directly to the people
to declare who shall be chief of the ex
| ecutive.
j Fraudulent Railroad Tickets.?An
; Omaha paper warns travelers going to
the Pacilio coast, or to any olher point
| very distant from New York, to be oare
Wul whero they purchase their railroad
tickets. It says that u few days since, a
[gentleman traveling on tbe Uuion Pa?
cific Railroad was stopped a few miles
| West of Omaha for offering a ticket
j which ? the conductor recognized as a
fraudulent one. The traveler had
bought it iu good faith, but,'anfortu
[ nately for him, had made his purchase
at what is called a "scalping office," ia
Now York, and, of course, had been im
l posod upon. At much I033 of time, ho

timized him. The moral of the story is
obvious?purchaso your railroad tickets

as to the genuineness of a recently pub?
lished interview between a. correspond?
ent aud Jeff. Davis, in whioh Mr. Davis
is mado to say many indiscreet and
foolish things, among others a severe
criticism of Lougstreet. Gen. Early

intimato torms with him, but heard no
such expressions as are attributed to

It is gratifying to observe, after so

uo moans common or peculiar to Colum?

ticeable iu Northern, Eastern and West?

any of the chief metropolises of the
Union during the months of July and
August, and not infrequently the early

I surcease of labor at the watering places
! or sea-side resorts. Visiting some of
our business houses, yesterday, we
learned that they wore in receipt of so

their whole clerical force. Several
establishments exhibited a movement in
striking contrast with theirlate dullness,
vigorously packing goods for immediate
shipment. This, early opening of the

the fact, are energetically preparing for

She Wouldn't Sell.?A man stopped
a Tennessee woman, who was driving
her family through the streets, en route
West, and tried to bay her "rig," get?
ting this reply:
' "Stranger, yer'er a wostin' ov yer
breth, talkin' to me 'bout eellin' that
creeter. He's too nobil a animil, and he
comes down from ancestors datin' back
to ther time what I can't remember.
Money can't buy that thar donkey, and
yer mout as well quit chatterjn' yer
mouth 'bout tradin'; besides, when I'
smokes I smokes,' and when I trades I
trades, and I ain't in a bit of tradin'
humor jist now. So, stranger, yer
moui as well close up yer fly*trap."
Henry Ward Beeoher preached in a
White Mountain hotel on Sunday. In
tho coarse of his sermon he remarked,
"Religion is God's hotel table, where
the guests call for what their particular
inclinations suggest," We hope he did
not continue the parallel, and maintain
that the mini ;ers are like hotel waiters,
who uiopeu. e oi tbe blossings of the
table in greater or less abundance, as
they may be moved by present or pros?
pective fees.
"What's your business?" asked a
judge of a prisoner at the bar. "Weil,
I s'poBo you might call me a locksmith."
"When did.yoa hut work at your
trade?" "Last night; when I heard a
call for tho police, I made n bolt for tbe
fryBt door."
