CovaThis'"w EIbITon h4AWAIUs.TTS has iuch 'to say -about disft'anchisement in the South, and yet Governor Butler sa le bie message that 164,571 voters are dis fi-anchised in that State. STATISTICs divitde the English-speak. ingl people of the earth as follows: Episcopalians, 18,500,000; Miethodists, 14,500,000; Romnan Catholics, 1,600,. 000; Presbyterians, 10,260,000; Bap. tists, 8,000,009; Congregationalists, 6,000,000; Unitarians, 1,000,000; minor sects, 1,500,000; no religious profe. sions, 8,000,000. Tuft telegram fi-om Washington, showing the -statement made by Mr. John A. Walsh, give a claracter to the star-route prosecutions which the lme long been thought to Possess. The .general feeling has been oUo o1 distrust of the siaruoIty of those in charge of the prosecution, andl of ap) prehension that justice would not be done. The Walsh letters, it. would seem, hold up Air. Arthur and Air. Brewster In no enviable light. The latter was most espcially chiarge( with, 'the vigorous conduct of the prosecu. tions, and lie seems to have flleni 1i short of the proper performance of his duties. When It is remembered .ait the President of the United Staktes wat but recently the boon companion o Brady aind Do.rsey, the two eldet villains, there may easily be foui some reason for Air. Arthur's attilnd as indicated by Mr. Walsh. 11hc truti Is, the whole atmoslphcre of Washing ton is corrupt, and it seens now thn Air. Arthur and Mr. Brewster ar< about as bad as the rest.

These results, however surejw g are~not much mUore so thani thaose of the past ten y'ears, which the cornespond .ent. states as follows: In 1870 the State produced 22-1,500) hales of cotton and 9,735,465 bushels of grain. Trhere were 88 acres of improved ilad to: the square mile, and 6 bales of cotton and 287 bushels of ,grnan were made to) thet square mIle. In 1880 there was p~rodueed 522,548 bales of cotton and 17,010,593 hush ehs of grain; there were 111 acres of tilled land to the square mile and 15 hales of cot, ton and 501 bushels of grain were made to Tihe squuye inlle. In 1870 147 ponnds of lit dotton and 13 hushels of grain, per capita of p)opulation, were produced. In 1880, 245 pounds of etitton anud 17 bushels of grain. T1hie value of the( dif'erene he tween the yield of corn, wheat and oats int 1881 and 1882 is more than the value of the whole amount of farmi supplies purchased oultsideC of the state.

As ihr as their means havo permitted, Ihey have erected factories, and the nmher of these has of late ycars increased ini a manner that is at onice remarkable and enicouraging, as the following statistics will showv; In 1870 there were 745 looms and 34,68:1 spIndles in the cotton mills in thie State, and the capital investedl was y1: :'s,000.
