There was only $2,000 insurance on the cotton, which was worth about $1,500. Tho judge informs us that he plants only the Poeler which is of long staple, and usually gets between ono and two cents per pound more for his crop than his neighbors. In his anxiety to gather the crop while the favorablo weather lasts ho would not take the time to gin and hence tho largo quantity of seed cotton in theginhouse. This is always a dangerous policy. Tue Atlanta Exposition.

We are in receipt of a letter from Mr. J. Jl. Foster, of this city, dated Atlanta, Ocsober 13, from which we make the following extract: Before leaving home I heard of several who expect to visit the expositian hero and 1 think our people should know as early as possible that the exposition buildings and articles to be exhibited are not ready vet. advertisements to the courtesy notwithstanding.

The buildings are not ready and suppose not one-tenth of the goods on the grounds have been unpacked. I saw it ex tensively advertised that there would be a tine show ot blooded cattle from adjoining States, but so far as I can learn (and I havo made diligent enquiry and search) there is not an animal of any kind for exhibition on tho grounds. Northern factories have pushed a few of their Yankee girls to the front to represent their machinery and wares and this is about all to be seen. I think it will be the middle ot November before everything will bo ready and then perhaps it will bo worth visiting.

After diligent search lor tho missing animals, they gave up the hunt and camo to the conclusion they had been siolon, and suspected a man by tho name of McGuirc, who had been raised in that sec tiott, and who hud returned to tho neigh borhood after an absanco of seven years, of having stolen them, as ho had suddenly left without informing any one whither ho was going. Saturday Dave, alias Charles McGuiro, a brother of the suspoctod party, made his appsaranco, riding a good horse. As soon as Allen Walker learned of his presence, he camo to this city, and endeavored to gut an ofli.rer to ea up and arrest him, and failing to do so, returned home. That night ha and Mr. Sam Knox got after McGuiro, and drove him from tho neighborhood, capturing tho horse he was riding McGuiro went as far as Mr.

Meantime a postal curd had been receive 1 here by Chief of Police Austin, and at the sheriffs office, describing one, Charles McGuire, and giving a description of a horse stolen by him from J.

It is a pecul iarity of the associated prats report er at New Orleans that he studiously avoids giv-ing any news from that city of any interest to the general reader.

Ho, heweyer, lived until Saturday night, and did at And yet not a word was received at the Times office in regard to the matter until yesterday. Judge Foehe recoivad a private dispatch from Acting Governor McEnery Sunday morning, announcing the sad event. Mayor Currie thereupon prompt'y issued tho following proclamation Shreveport, Oct. 10, 1881.

In the zenith of a brilliant career, and of great usefulness to our State, it has pleased lue Great Ruler of the universe to take from his sphere in hfo ur beloved Gov ernor Louis Alfred Wiltz. At 12:80 this morning "God fa ngor touched him," and wafted his immortal spirit from our midst forever, Funeral services will be held over his remains in the city of New Orleans, on to-morrow, the 17th instant, at 3 o'clock p. And in accordance with the proclama- tion of Hig Excellency, S. McEnery, it is respectfully requested that all business be suspended during the day, and that services bo held in all the churches throughout the Stato. Our city bells will be tolled at intervals during tho day, flags displayed at half-mast and our people aro requested to drape their houses and buildings with such emblems of mourning as will most aDtirooriatel attest thoir sorrow and respect ior the dead, and their sense of the great loss which our State suffers by this mournlul event.

Wiltz contracted his insidious disease in the campaign of 1879, and was first brought his bed the day of his appointmont to speak in this city. His friends earnestly persuaded him to return to New Orleans from Monroe, where he was taken sick, but conceived it to ba his duty to canvass tho entire Stato, although he knew his election was a foregone conclusion and be was not Ihu man to evade any duly, however rtsponsiblo or irksome. Ho was confined Lis led for several days hero, and when physicians considered It safe for him to travel ho loft for his hsme in New Orleans. Ilo looked so wretchedly ill at that time that wa were not greatly surprised to learn subsequently that his health was permanently impaired. Probibly tho labors of the campaign only more rapidly gurms of the fatal disease which was in hi system.

He never been well since. It must havo been a fearful ordenl for him to pass through uil of energy and ambitions to render his famous in the annals ot the State, he was yet rendered powerless to carry out tho programmo he had marked for himself. His indomnitable will kept up and enabled him to wage, this and unequal Content with tho grim de-trcycr. As we havo said elsewhere, his death is calamity and will be mourned a- cich.

II irdly has the great hcurtyof llo) iot'V o' Louisiana stilled the tumultuous brining with which it palpitated bosido tho bieFol our murdered President, when it is sum monod to bear a new and poignant griff in the death of the beloved Chief Magistrate of our own State. Our Governor fell by no assassin's hand.

Death smote him not with sudden and unexpected blow. For many weary month'-, tho "insatiate archer" has stood, in full view, with bended bow and leveled shnfl, aimed straight at his manly heart, while the people, who loved and honored him, have wailed in tremulous suspense pxpectntive of the moment when he should lot fly the airow, and end ft life, precious indeed, anil onoo freighted with so many loftj- aims and noble purposes. This day is a day of mourning to Louisi ana. In quiet response to the la'pestion ot tho succeeding Governor, tin- common avocations of the people have been sus pended. The fields rest untillod, Iho har vests ungathered.

tho busy- hum of tibor is unheard in the work-shop and on the stree's, and a solemn hush pervades the marts of commerce. Whenever, on hill or vale, throughout our borders, a siicri tem ple lifts its head to heaven, Catholic or Protestant, Jew or Christian, of whatever creed there, this day, will bo found as semble! the people ot ljouifiana. irrespect ive ot party, reverently joining in memorial services expressive of their reined and honor of their departed chief. under such circumstances have you assembled hero to-day, and your revered Rector, whose request in such a caso 1 regarded as a command, has imposed upon me the duty ot uttering some words appropriate to the solemn occasion. without regard to the personal m-ir-bs of our deceased governor, his incumben cy of that high office, at the moment of hi; death, would, alone, have justified these ex traordinary demonstrations of respect.

Free institutions depend for their preservation, in great measure, upon the regard and devo tion which thpy inspire in tho heartj of the people, 1 he Governor is the chief officer of the commonwealth, lie is tho highest represontatiyo of tho people. His office, if legitimately acquired and unstained with crimp, entitles him to the respect and honor of the people, which, since he is their retire- sentativo.is only another form of self-rcspcet and seli-noiior. liven though he wore an insignificant person, a people proud ot their institutions, would demand for him the honors duo to his office. Hut Louis Alfred Wiltz was a man who took from his high station no honor which he did not reflect hack upon it with undi minished lustro. Cut oil in his youth and disabled by ill-health from the moment ot his accession to tho govornship, his brief but brilliant career, though full o' achieve ment, left so much promise unfulfilled, that our estimate of what he was is overshadowed by that of what he might have bnen.

It now but a decade and a half since, a youth of twenty-two he first appeared upon the a-ena of public life as a member of the legislature of 1 HOC. From that day to this Ik has lived in the blaze of tiubiie station Member of the Legislature, Mayor of New Orleans. Representative again and Sneaker of tho House of Representatives, Lieuten ant-Governor, member and President of tho Constitutional Convention, and finally, Governor of tho State, such has been the rapid promotion by which, from the foot of the ladder, tie cliraned, at tho ago ol thirty- sir, to its top-most round. He had no advontitious aid of fortuno or influence. hatover ho achieved was accomplished Dy nis own unaided energy and intellect, lia was emphatically a man of the people always looking to tho people for support, and always recognized by thorn as a leader.

His offioiancy in every post is signalized by tho rapidity with which he was promoted i-j uigoer ones. He held ollico in days when corruption in public station was the rulo rathor than the exceotion. Amidst all the fierce contests through which he has passed, no ene my was found reckless enough to whisper that ho was ever, directly or indirectly, a party to any corrupt practice, and the hon- orable poverty in which bodied is the trum- pet-tongucd witness ol his purity. IK I 1 no ueiu ouice in aavs wnen tho courtitre of public men was tested by no ordinary trials, iiis intrepid conduct as speaker of tne nouso oi representatives in resisting me encroachments oi military power, has never been surpassed for diirnitv and eour- ago. It was the lit precursor ol tho 14-Ji of beptemher, and is entitled to rank with the remarkable exploit ot that day, as one of thoso manly protests against usurpation which contributed at last to secure the restoration of constitutional government.

As a presiding orlicer over deliberative bodies, he is admitted to havo had no supe- Hn presence of mind, quickness of apprehension, promptness of decision, fair ness and justice to all, won tho admiration ot friends and loos. No man over came to the governorship with larger and more varied experience ot public attain. He understood th the Stato in all departments of her government. He was not content with the functory performance cf thoso duties which forced themsolves Don his attention. HU active mind was ever on the alert to directions is which he could exert his energies for the public service.

iw took a lively interest in all departments of the administration. The public schools, the militia, the public levees, and all Improvements were the objects of his in. stunt care and solicitude. The administration of justic and of the, finances of the State commanded moufiimi consianlion. Uno (if tho last of lis puiinc acts was the convocation of tin.
