Adaptability of tbe State for Use Growth of tbe Staple. Long Branch, N. August the afternoon session of the Tariff Commission a communication was read from Mr. T. House, of Houston, Texas, In reference to the production of sugar in that State.

It states that a large area of land there is extremely well to the growth of sugar cane; that the lands are never overflowed, that the cane well for three or four years, and that the chief area of production at present Is on the Brazos river, where the crop In 1880 was about 6,500,000 pounds. A district of one hundred miles long by seven miles wide, or some four hundred thousand acres on the Brazos, Is peculiarly adapted to sugar production. Also another district on the Colorado river, which In 1880 produced about 1,250,000 pounds. These two districts are said to be capable of producing half the quantity of sugar consumed In the United States. If that industry were only sufficiently protected any reduction of duties on low grades of sugar would inflict Incalculable injury on the sugar growers of Texas.

Washington, August The city has within a day after the adjournment of Congress settled down almost to its usual summer wont. But very few members are to be met. These prowl around the departments, looking after the interests of their csoistituents. The hotels wear an abandoned look. No more do the corridors of them swarm at night.

All of the government departments close at three instead of four, and work is but listlessly done during the six hours that the government employe is required to be at his desk. Many clerks are taking their leave of absence. About the only place where public business is brisk is the loan division of the Treasury Depart' ment, where the work in connection with the conversion of the continued 3)4 per cent bonds into 3 per cents, furnishes abundance of employment. Many newspaper correspondents have left the city.

Newspaper Row begins to assume its neglected summer phase. Tne concrete pavements boil, and all the air is hot both night and day. In fact, Washington will in a day or two become as It does once every summer sluggard. ABOUT THE ATKINS CASK. It may be of interest to know how the withdrawal of name for the Georgia Judgeship came about As hs been heretofore put to the public through the News, the Senate Judiciary Committee, which had the nomination under consideration, stood four for and four against a favorable report, with Senator Edmunds absent Senator Logan, upon whom it was depended to put Atkins through the Senate.

was luaewarm The influence of Justice Woods, of the Supreme Court, prevented Edmunds coming here to vote in committee for Atkins. Three Republican Senators who had promised at the outset to vote for his confirmation went back on A kins in telling him that they could not vote in the affirmative. The Democrats who promised Atkins their support remained true to their promise. Senator Brown worked against AtkiDS as he only can work. The committee, owing to the tie existing among its members in the matter made no report to the Senate.

Atkins got tired of it all and went to the President and requested that his name be withdrawn and somebody sent in. The President referred him to the Attorney General. Atkins went there. The Attorney General said "Why be in such a hu. ry, Mr.

Atkins? if the nomination is not acted on at this session you can be renominated the next and doubtless Atkins said that he was tired of the whole business and wanted to get out of it Brewsster then said that he would take over to the President any name that Atkins would suggest for the place. If Bigby had not gone back on Atkins in the matier he would have named him. Brewster then went to the President and toid him that if the matter was allowed to lay over Atkins could be confirmed at the next session. The President said do not want to wait, I will withdraw name and will nominate and he aid, and McCay was confirmed. how it came about.

PLEDGER'S PLAOH. Pledger, of Atlanta, had better be looking around. He is not exactly secure in the place he holds nnder the government. Complaints have been made here about his conduct during the recent so-called Republican convention at Atlanta. Pledger first gave one of the sections of that so called convention permission to hold its session in the custom house, and then riotously entered the building, and, backed by followers, broke up or attempted to break up the meeting by bis authurify as custodian of the government shebang.

the way, at least, that the case has been reported to the Treasury Department here. And the further statement has been made to that department that such a I believe the words yea eve demands, the removal of Pledger, who cannot, although there is alliteration in the coupling, be said to be peaceful Pledger had better keep his weather eye on this squall, which seems to be bearing down upon him. MR. STEPHENS. Mr.

Btepheng will leave next Tuesday for Georgia, and will immediately enter upon his campaign. He is prepared to make some very good speeches. He is in excellent trim for his work. Of course this statement must, as is always the case, be qualified by saying that he is in excellent health for a man who is never in what is usually known as good health. Mr Stephens has recently done a good deal of work, not the least part of which has been the 'dictation of answers to the innumerable letters which have poured in upon him from all parts of the State since he was nominated for Governor.

AN INSTANCE OF ACCOMMODATION. The President was in the room set apart for him at the capitol with his Cabinet when Con eress adjourned. From there he sent messages to either Houre and facilitated adjournment. The House adjourned promptly at the hour fixed upon. Action of the President on certain minor bills did not get there in message form until about half a minute after the gavel fell.

There was a hurried talk between Keifer and the clerks in front of him. Amid the noise which followed the fall of the gavel, Keifer directed that the message be duly received and entered upon the proceedings which had just closed. This is said to be the first time on record of any such thing having been done. THE YELLOW FEVER. The appearance and spread of the yellow fever in Texas and in ttie border towns of Mexico just across the Uio Grande, has induced the National Board of Health to send down three special agents on a tour of inspection.

It can always be noted that the National Board of Health is the last to publicly concede prevalence of an epidemic. Thes agents have rent in preliminary reports that while the fever exists in a very serious way down there aud has been spreading, they think that now the proper agencies are at work that it, in all probability, will be kept in limited bounds. THE TREASURY HAUL. Many things went through the House, the cost of which cannot be tola until the bills are settled. There were very many of this ilk.

The Treasury Department officers have, how ever, worked on tangible subjects and discover tbat the increase of appropriations over the las fiscal year is over seventy seven millions and a half! Increase of pensions and increase of the force on pensions made over (49,000,000 of this increase. About $4,200,000 of the net increase is of the river and harbor steal. The Post Office Department increase is nearly executive and judicial expenses are increased about the Bunday civil bill is a quarter a million bigger this year; $23,100,000 larger are the miscellaneous appiopriations and there are $4,500,000 more appropriated this year under the head of deficiencies. The country must have grown remarkably to warrant the defense of the Republican leaders that such growth demanded these increases Those gentlemen must have made a census of the country privately. Certainly the official census does not bear record of any such growth as that put forward by the able defenders of Republican plunderers led by that skilled and practiced buccaneer, George M.

Rooeson, of New Jersey, and Grant. Potomac YELLOW FEVER. Another Case In New Plague in the Southwest. New Orleans, August England, a carpenter, thirty years of age, a native of Finland, arrived here from Cardiff on May 21st. He boarded at 85 North Peter street, near where Forbers, the imported yellow fever patient, took sick.

England was taken sick on the night of the Bsh. On the morning of the 9th he was sent to the Charity Hospital. The medical authorities this evening all agree that the man has a mild case of yellow fever, and the President of the Board of Health has reported it as a mild sporadic case. Matamoras, August 10 have been fifty-eix deaths here from yellow fever. It is impossible to learn the number of cases, but there is no abatement in the disease.

Brownsville, Texas, August 10 death has occurred here from yellow fever. There is a decrease In the number of cases. The weather continues cloudy and rainy. The Btsr Route Trials. Washington, August Ker, counsel for the prosecution, continued his argument to-day in the star route cases, and had not finished when court adjourned.

His argument consisted of a detailed review of the facts brought out and the documents put in evidence in the course of the trial concerning each of the star routes set forth in the indictment. It is thought that Mr. Ker will finish speaking to-morrow. General Rosser Claiming; Daiuagai. Winnipeg, August Rosser bas instituted suit against tbe Canadian Pacific Railway, for malicious prosecution, claiming damages.

The suit arises out of the proeecution of Rosser last winter, for taking the plans of the company after he had left their employ, ot which charge he was honorably acquitted. Btie Ball Yesterday. 3, Bostons 0. Providence 10, Chicagos 8. Buffalos 13, Worcesters 8.

A Delightful Trip Over the Marietta and North Georgia Road. Marietta, August concluded the business of the session yesterday, abont two hundred delegates of the State Agricultural Convention, including the President, Secretary and many distinguished gentlemen, took the train at nine this morning, for an excursion over the Marietta and North Georgia Narrow Gauge Railroad, thirty-six' miles to Lay Spring, in Cherokee county.

Comfortable cars were provided, and under the conduct of Contractor W. H. Simmons, as the representative of Gen. Wm. Phillips, Vice President of the company, who courteously extended the invitation, the excursionists left Marietta in high spirits, with the Musical Union Brass Band of Atlanta enlivening the way with excellent music.

The train passed through a beautiful country of high hills and deep valleys, dotted all over with farms and abounding in picturesque scenery, literally enchanting to such delegates as came from the level regions of the South. The road enters the famous valley ot the Etowah near Canton, and here the South Georgia delegatee were surprised by the fertility of the soil and the splendor of the growing crops in the fields. As the train halted at Canton a large crowd gathered at the depot and called loudly for President Hardeman, and that gentleman responded in one of his happiest efforts. On their return the excursionists visited the beautiful town, which is perched upon a broad hill too elevated to be seen from the depot. From this point the route lay through the valley and along the banks of the Etowah to Lay Spring, where Superintendent Adams had prepared a bountiful lunch, supplemented with watermelons and fine cigars.

The party whiled away an hour or two at this delightful spot, enjoying the fine water, the grounds, and beautiful scenery. A shower at last hurried them off to the cars, when the train proceeded to Ball Ground, the present terminus of the road. This place received its name from the annual assembling of the Indians for the game of ball, a practice still remembered by a few old citizens in the vicinity. The excursionists remained here a short time and then re-entered the train on their return. At Woodstock, in Cobb county, the train baited for the inspection of the notorious barn constructed by Bullock at a cost of of the money, and which was seized by the 8 ate after his flight and sold for a song.

It is a splendid piece of work, and required a man of brains to construct it. In the Etowah Cherokee county, the train passed through the field where our present Senator Joseph E. Brown was binding sheaves of wheat when he received Dotice of his first nomination as Governor of Georgia, and the cars halted and stood over the place where was the mill pond of the mill where that now distinguished citizen weDt before day to grind his few bushels of corn from the small head of water collected by the little stream during the night in dry weather. Messrs. Adams and Simmons successfully and ably conducted the excursion throughout, giving great satisfaction.

Washington, August Secretary of the Treasury French to-day received a telegram from Secretary Folger, who is in New York city, instructing him to hasten the issue of gold certificates, in accordance with the provisions of tbe national banking act, which directs the Secretary of the Treasury to receive deposits of gold coin in sums of not less than twenty dollars, and to issue certificates therefor. There has already been a large demand for these certificates. They will be ready for Issue 1i a few days. The Assistant Treasurer at New York states that ail the banks will probably make large and rapid offerings of their gold for the new certificates. Tbe New York Mock Market.

After his arrival at Long Branch, Mrs.

Adams No. 2, who is living at Red Bank, N. instituted legal proceedings against him, and his whole life, it is said, has been troubled and harassed with letters and visits from Mrs. Adams No. 2.

Kelly Versus Tlldsn-The Half Breed-Stalwart Problem-A Boom for the ory coming Fooillgbt Coming Vlalt-Tbe Pugilistic Revival. New York, August 6 most imperturbable of men, John Kelly, has emerged into prominence once more.

He has a semblance of being approachable, in consequence the county Democracy (which is another name for the Tilden following) has began paying court to him. Kelly is a most potent In New York politics, and he knows it. His smiles just now invite overtures, but if he becomes displeasd his smiles will turn to a frown. The situation in the Democratic camp is peculiarif it can ever be said to be otherwise in this State. It is this: The Tammany chief will support the Btate ticket if a man who is not very objectionable is put in the race, and if he can get what he deems his share of the spoils in this city.

the rub. Asa matter of course, the Tilden Democrats want a man who will subserve their interests, and such a one must naturally be hateful to Kelly. An out-and-out Kelly man is not to be thought of. There are only two ways out of the difficulty apparent: One is the consent to a Tilden man of the pronounced type by his making great concessions to deal, in fine. The other is to set up a sort of wooden roan, who has never been conspicuous for his devotion to either wing of the party.

It is humiliating, but nevertheless true, that bossism has reduced us of this grand and glorious Republic to this very thing. Mr. Tilden is as reticent as ever, and some who say they know, assert that he would gladly take up the standard in his own band if called uponothers assert as loudly that they know, of a truth, that he would not. It seems reasonably certain, however, that he is still an oracle and that he will name the man for the raceif he can. Still greater uncertainty exists on the other side.

followers are in a compact body, confident and defiant. The Conkling and Arthur following breathes hatred, and will strain every nerve to beat them down. The half-breeds are in a state of bewilderment. On one hand, Cornell is begging them to raliy to his standard, and defeat the stalwartism that is represented by the doublehead; on the other, the ex senator and his friend of the White House are pr pos ng an alliance bv which a half-breed may be nominated -The half-breeds hesitate naturally If they join Governor Cornell they boost into office again a through and through stalwart and a ooss by nature and education. If they co-operate with the Conkling-Arthur faction hey compromise themselves with their dead enemies.

What is to be done then what puzzles everybody. If the naifbreeds are wise they will disregard the overtures of Conkling and pick their own man. Then if Cornell is nominated they can support him as Republicans. If they sees to nominate one of tneir own number the Conkling-Arthur people will go to their assistance, of necessity, to defeat Cornell. But there are so many and in political gossip now that it is an absolute waste of time and energy.

The interest here in the con ing contest is so great that it is impossible to avoid the subject. Everybody has an eye to the more important struggle to take place in 1884, and which in a large measure will depend for its result on the issue of this. Who will do the blundering this time? The great singers are not to have all the honors to themselves next season. We hear of the Kiralfy Brotners having engaged Mile, de Gilbert, the premiere danseuse of the Alhambra Ralace. London, for the behoof of the old boys who are fond of the spectacle of women bouncing around en the stage In short fluffy skirts and pink tights They have also secured Mile Bagetta, another premiere But this is not all.

The great Italian ballet is to be produced with eight premieres (think of it!) forty-eight coryphee- (astounding), and two ballet masters. As ballet dancing is being introduced in comic opera as well as grand, there wi Ibe no end of it The managers, I suppose, know what value to put on leg shows It is a truth that the recent success of that very much sung opera, ha Mascot, recently at the Germania, was largely dependent on the ballet that was put in for diveriise ment. It was such a help in fact that when the same company put on the War," they retained the high kickers. The inana er knows what he knows. We are to have a crematory, and those who want to be burned up Instead of being buried, now have an opportunity of having their wishes the dead have wishes, and friends rebel.

A small company of cremationists have met in a little room at Cooper now and then, and read interminable papers on the subject and made unending speeches. Now these years of philosophical discussion are to bear fruit in a practical application of the theory of incinerations This movement would make old Doctor Le Moyne turn over in his grave if he hid been buried, instead of being burned in his own oven. The erearnatory is building at the upper end of M'tnhat toh Island, on the banks of the Hudson, and doubtless will be put down in the guide books ss one of theobj-cts of interest on shore. It will not be of great capacity, the furnace being constructed for the reception of only one body at a time. will be a receiving vault, however, large enough to contain ten or more bodies awaiting the fiery furnace.

The movement is ostensibly in the interests of science, but there is doubtless a little private enterprise at the bottom of it, an 1 if it should ever become popular there will be a good deal of money in it for somebody. To the disappointment of opera goers Gilbert Sc new opera will not be ready for the opening ofithe Standard season. It is natural now to look fora new opera from them at the opening of every regular season, and the disappointment is increased by the promise of anew piece. But if they produce it at all this year it will not be before the holidays, or even later. The Standard will open with Manteaux Noirs.

I know nothing of this save that it is pronounced clever. There are other disappointments in store, and if they continue to mu.tiply they will bring the exceptionally brilliint season promised quite down to the ordinary level. It was announced some time ago with a blare of trumpets that Wyndom, the famous English comedian, was coming, accompanied by his troupe made up of clever artists. But now it turns out Wyndom alone is coming. His actors and actresses have refused to come, some trivial obstructions being in the way.

It is a characteristic of the craft from the top down to be unreasonable and whimsical. There is much speculation regarding the reception that will be accorded Mrs. Langtry. There is no doubt that much of her popularity iu Europe was due to the faqt that she had been the pet of the aristocracy, and had been on exhibition merely in the drawing rooms of the great, and what is more, had actually indulged in such freaks as pouring water down the back of the Prince of Wales. The discussion of the marvelous beauty of the Jersey Lily made the masses mad to catch a glimpse of her, and so when she went on the stage they packed the theatres and ran howling after her carriage through the streets.

The middle and lower classes admire the nobility, while they enrse and satiirize them, wherefore they eDjoyed looking at the great beauty, if for no other reason than that the aristocracy had set the fashion. Americans are fond of curiosities, as Barnum years ago found out, and as a curiosity Mrs. Langtry may create a sensation, and they are aesthetic enough to admire that which is phenoi i enally beautiful A suspicion has got abroad that her charms are fading. Nevertheless. there is much curiosity to see this fam us creature.

The mania for prize fighting is fiercer than it has been since the days of Heenan and Sayres. Sporting men talk of nothing else; all sorts of have emerged from security (including Aldermen and other dignataries) and displayed their self confidence by challenging other chickens to meet them in the ring, snd corporation 'awyers have been engaged in determining nice of law about hard gloves, soft gloves and no gloves The lusty corner boy has set up Sullivan and Wilson as his gods. He and his companions smoke and chew and dispute about the merits of the two great gamesters. They interlard these hours of argument with improvise' sparring matches there in the corner, while spectators watch and applaud with an eye out also for the police. The newsbovs and bootblacks, who usually find their greatest delight in dancing jigs behind the back walls of variety theatres, spend their time now in trying to knock off each hats.

Scarcely a day passes that some fresh challenge does not appear in the papers. Who shall say that the West Point affair was nor. inspired by the groat BulUvan-Wilson event recently in Mauison Square Garden, and that if the one bad not have taken place the others would not have hapDeued? The Cook-Bcudder bout had a magnificent environment, the ring being pitched on a grassy plot hidden from the road by a friendly clump of trees. Each man had a second, and there was a select circle of spectators, who watched the battle with breathless interest and cried as blows were struck. Poor Scudder was knocked out and.

with all bis pride, had to suffer the ignomy of being carried to the post hospital on a load of beer bottles. While his opponent escaped without a scratch he is still confined to bis bed If that Madison Square affair had not taken place, as we have said, he would not have been in this sad plight. It remains to be seen what the heavy gamesters will do now that the contest to have taken place at the Madison Square Garden next Monday has been declared of an unlawful character. Your slugger may be defeated, but not baffled The fight will go on in some other city where the authorities have not looked up the law on this harmless amusement. Boston, with all of its pretensions to letters and sesthtici-m.

OUR GREAT STAPLES. Cotton Yields ot Wheel and Corn-Conditions of Other Washington, August The August crop returns to the Department of Agriculture, the work of about six thousand correspondents, give estimates covering the entire producing area of over one thousand five hundred of the principal agricultural counties of the United States upon the condition of moat of the crops now growing. The condition of cotton has improved during the past month. The general average has advanced from 92 to 94. This Is higher by three points than In August, 1879, and lower by eight than the August average of 1880.

It Is also two points lower than at this date In 1875, and one lower than in 1878, but Is higher than in five other years since 1872. The average condition of each State is as follows: Virginia 84, North Carolina 84, South Carolina 96, Georgia 94, Florida 87, Alabama 99, Mississippi 91, Louisiana 93, Texas 100, Arkansas 96, Tennessee 86. Only North Carolina. Florida and Louisiana show a decline. Virginia has gained 4, Georgia 2, Alabama 6, Mississippi 4, Texas 3, Arkansas 6, and Tennessee 8.

South Carolina has the same average as In July. There Is no Injury from drought except in a slight degree in a few districts in Texas. In the northern and eastern divisions of mat State there has been an excess of rain, causing too vigorous a growth of the stalk, delay in fruiting, and, in some cases, shedding of the bolls. In the entire cotton belt there is reported an excess of moisture, Injurious in proportion to the retentiveness ot the soil. This cause accounts for the comparative low condition in North Carolina, where it Is now deemed too late for recuperation.

Rust begins to appear In districts where ratos have been in excess, with no damage as yet. Caterplllarhave made their appearance in all the States of the Gulf though no injury has resulted, many apprehensions of future loss ate expressed. Tne boll worm is also men-, tloned in several States. A large number of returns are highly favorable, prophecying a crop as large as the land can produce or better than for many years. The wheat returns of August relate to the spring variety.

Its condition Is higher than for several years. It was 88 In 1880, and 81 tn 1879 and 1881. It Is now 97 against 100 last, month. It is somewhat late, but was nearly ready for harvest at the date of the returns. There are some indications of rust and blight in part ot Minnesota and North lowa.

The crop is held to be best since 1879. The returns from Dakota and Nebraska are extremely favorable. The general averages of the principal States are follows: Wisconsin 99, Minnesota 98, lowa 93, Dakota 99, Nebraska 103, California 96. It is quite probable that the product of winter wheat and spring wheat, without loss by will slightly exceed five hundred assume 13 to per more arc i headttWHjy' tcodlng to Athat bands of farmers. i Special Agent Moffat, of the Department 1 of Agriculture, cabled from that wheat In England promises an average crop of good quality.

In France there will be a medium crop, slightly damaged by rain In the blooming period. In Germany the recent heavy rains have deteriorated the quality of a fairly abundant product. In Russia and Austria there will be an average crop, and in Huugary 15 per cent, above the average. The European outlook is favorable for a medium product, with some reduction in quality. The condition of the corn crop is represented by 83 as against 77 last year.

At this this date in 1881 the effect of the drought was seen In a reduction of 13 points In the general condition during July, followed by a greater deterioration In August. At the present time circumstances are favorable for further improvement In most of the States. The averages of the Southern States are nearly all above 100. The surplus producing States average as follows: Ohio 77, Michigan 78, Indiana 78, Illinois 59, lowe 70, Missouri 91, Kansas 100, Nebraska 98, New England ranges from 87 In Massachusetts to 96 In New York 85, Pennsylvania 90, New Jersey 93. The general averages of the condition of the other crops are as follows: Oats 102, spring rye 100, barley 95, buckwheat 97.

London, August Newt understands that at a meeting of the peers yesterday, at which Sir Stafford Nortlftote was present, it was decided to abandon the first amendment to the arrears bill. It also understands that the autumn session of Parliament will begin on the 24th of October.

In the House of Lords to-day, Lord Carllngford, Lord of the Privy Seal, moved the adoption of the amendment of the House ot Commons to the House of Lords amendment to the arrears bill. Lord Salisbury said the object of his amendment to the bill was to provide against injury to landlords who had solvent tenants. He believed, he said, that the bill was public plunder, and that it would not be a final measure. A bill without a provision requiring the assent of the landlords, would be most pernicious, and an act of 6lmple robbery. The peers, he added, who assisted in passing his amendments considered it not advisable to reject the bill.

He, therefore, would not challenge a division. He also stated that a meeting of Conservative peers at his residence today decided by an overwhelming majority that. In view of the state of affairs in Ireland and Egypt, It was not expedient to regulate the arrears bill. He said he was not of that opinion, but he found himself in a small minority. All the amendments of the House of Commons to the arrears bill were then acquiesced in without a division.

Tbe Earl of Limerick and the Marquis of Waterford recorded their protests. Dublin, August Qeorge was rearrested to day under the crimes act at Atbenry, as he was about to board the train for Galway. Mr. George protested. He said his arrest was persecntlon, as he had previously given a satisfactory account of himself to the Loughrea police.
