Sept 8, 2-t) JOSEPH MANGEL. —The cotton crop fcr this year is estimated by the Macon, Ga., Telegraph at 5,(150,000 bales. It says: "There is great talk whether it cau rise to 6,000,000 bales, for the reason that there is not the force to gather such a crop. If we have the time it mav be gather ed, but that, of course, is extremely doubtful. The last season was extraordinarilv mild and protracted, and picking was continued till the last lock wa? gathered. It would be unreason able to hope for another such season ; and, on the other hand, with an early frost and stormy and cold weather, progress in picking won!.! be seriously interrupted. All experience teacli.es the South that on a cold, finger-benumbing day picking goes on slowly, and it is hard to keep nands at work. So in wet weather they cannot and should not be kept at work. Hence the actual out-turn of the crop of IXSO-81 must be Considered an event in the womb of the future. It may prove to be even less than that of the crop of 1879-80." —So colossal has the patronage of the National Government liecame that any President might despair of his ability to deal with it. Pierce is the last President who dis pensed all the offices anew. When Pierce came into office the annual expenditures of the gov ernment were only forty-six millions ; last year they amounted to two hundred and sixty-seven millions. The number of offices has not in creased in the same proportion, but it has risen trom sixty thousand to more than a hundred fhousand. It would overtask the energies of any President to distribute this colossal patron age. Buchanan, who succeeded Pierce, found all the offices filled with democrats and made no wholesale changes. When Lincoln came in the secession of the South curtailed the patron age, aud the outbreak of the civil war made it inexpedient to practise party proscription against democratic office-holders who were loy al to the Union. Since Lincoln's time there lias been no motive for a universal change. Johnson might have attempted one, but he was restrained by the Tenure of Office law. Grant found all the offices filled with republicans and did not make changes from mere party views; ami so with Hayes. —A dispatch from St. Augustine, Fla., gives but too much reason to belieye that the steamer Vera Cruz, of the Havanna and Mexican line, has been lost, with all her pas sengers and crew. Parts of the mail she must have carried from New York have been washed ashore, and the correspondent telegraphs that cargo supposed to be hers strews the shore for forty miles below St. Augustine. Several bodies have been washed ashore, and a trunk bearing the name of one of the passengers iu the ship. A steamer, now supposed to haye been the Vera Cruz, was seen on the Saturday pre vious about sixty miles otrshore from St. Au gustine by a brig which was wrecked in the gale which broke out on.Sunday. It wiis on the following Thursday that the mail matter was washed ashore. Nothing is known by the owners in New York concerning the vessel's fate. The Havana cable is, unfortunately, not work ing, so that 110 inquiries can be made there. The Vera Cruz was a staunch ship, and her owners say well manned and ably commanded. There is but to much reason to fear that she foundered in the hurricane which has this last week strewn the Southern coast with wrecks. N. B. —Since the above was written the news of .the loss of this steamer lias been confirmed. Seventy-five persons went down with her. The Coming Heir. Up to yesterday 110 word had come to America of the birth of the long looked for heir to the Spanish Throne. It is safe to say that not (or many years has an expected addition to a family called together a crowd such as is now gathered about the appartments of the Queen of Spain. Usually the persons present on such an occasion are privately notified in advance by the lady who provides the entertain ment, and, being selected for sympa thetic purposes, they naturally are of the sex that know how it—in short, they are women.. Even the doctor never makes his appearance until sum moned by a panting husband or a gal loping messenger. But the invitations to Queen Christina's interesting event* have been issued by the Lord Cham berlain, and although the crowd might be exactly to his own liking in case he had any duty like the Queen's to per forin, it seems hardly such a party as Her Majesty would have selected had who been consulted Every member of it is of the gender that is utterly use less on such occasions. Among them are grave diplomats, astute Cabinet ollicers, saintly prelates and proud nobles; but it would be safe to oiler a million to one that not a man of the whole body knows catnip from pepper mint or could give the royal baby its first bath, or knows how to handle the scales so as to be able to assure the ex pectant father that he had landed a ten-pounder. And in case of twins —a possibility that the Lord Chamberlain, never having been a mother, has en tirely overlooked—-why, it would be just like the stupid old fellows to mix those babies up and knock the whole question of the Spanish succession into the limbo of eternal uncertainties.

Its asserts eiceed Vl.500,00(J 00, with a large surplus, and has for many years se cured the largest amount of new business in Ohio of any one company in the Uniied States. Its interest receipts exceed its death losses, matured endowments, taxes, and commission paid to agents. Its able management is further illustrated by the fact that its rate of losses aud expenses to its. premium income for the year 1879. according to the New York official reports, I is lower than that of any other company. It issues endowment policies at life rates, which arn nonforfeitable Without surren ler and incon testiblo after three annual payments.
