LiVItUKNT CITV CIRCULATION.
Another Move on the Stock Question.
From the ofliciiii report of the proceedings
of the City Council, published in yesterday’s
Enquirer, we learn that at the meeting on
Monday night Messrs. Patton & Mustion pro
posed to subnfit the question, whether the
city was legally or morally bound to complete
and carry out the contract with them for the
sale of city Stock in the Muscogee Railroad,
to any three gentlemen “of the highest legal
attainments, who have never formed or ex
pressed an opinion on the subject, and equally
friendly to both parties, and who have no di
rect or indirect interest in the decision. ’ A
motion was made to amend this by substitu
ting a proposition to submit the question to a
vote of the citizens of Columbus —one of the
parties to the contract; but it was voted down.
Another substitute proposed—to submit the
question whether the city was legally bound to
consummate the contract, to Hon. Hbenezer
Starnes, Hon. C. J. Jenkins, and another gen
tleman to be chosen—was also voted down.—
The vote upon the adoption of the proposition
of Messrs. Patten & Mustian stood yeas 6,
nays 4. The Mayor decided that it was re
jected, as a majority of a full Hoard had not
voted for it.

The President of the Memphis nud Charles
ton Railroad has informed the Memphis Bul
letin, that the Governor of Alabama positively
refuses to permit the Treasurer of the Stntc to
pny over to the company the SBOO,OOO which
the last Legislature voted to loan to the road.
It will be remembered (hat the Governor vetoed
the bill providing for this loan, but the Legis
lature again passed it over his veto. His in
structions to the .State Treasurer now are
doubtless based upon the idea that it is uncon
stitutional to re-issue the old State Hank notes,
the only money in the Treasury wherewith to
make the loan.
The company, however, have negotiated
bonds in ('harlcston to the amount of $250,000,
which will enable them to push on the work to
completion. Only 70 miles of tho road, from
Tuscumbin to Pocahontas, remain to be fin
ished.
Cotton Estimates.
We copy from the Charleston Standard an
article on the prospects of the cotton trade,
which is certainly highly encouraging to plan
ters, if the estimates ami views of the writer
he correct; and his conclusions appear to be
based on sound calculations. There is, how
ever, one deduction in the Standard’s article
which we cannot regard as so well supported,
viz; that the war caused a diminution of the
demand and consumption last year, and that
the conclusion of peace will bring about an in
creased demand and larger consumption for
the future. We do not believe that it can be
shown that a single factory in England stop
ped or curtailed operations in consequence of
the war or any of its incidents; or that the
supply needed for the consumption of the
world was in the least diminished by a state of
hostility in Europo. (>n the contrary, the
war brought the Governments of Great Britain
and Branco into the murket as purchasers and
consumers of cotton fabrics to a much larger
extent than they would have engaged in it in
time of peace. It may also be safely assumed
that the class ot population from which sol
diers are recruited use ordinarily less of cotton
goods for clothing, &c., than the supplies they
arefurnished with by their Governments while
in service. The extraordinary expenditures
of those Government also, in the prosecution
o! the war (which were chiefly provided for by
loans and the issue of scrip) threw into active
circulation a larger amount of money’ than
would have been loosed from the iron chests of
large capitalists and corporations in time of
peace, and thus to some extent furnished em
ployment and increased means to thousands of
consumers. We are not believers in the great
“pressure and decline of business attributed
to the war ; and whatever may be its future
effects, when taxes have to be increased to
meet the “promises to pay” incurred in its
prosecution, we incline to the opinion that it
has not injured the business of manufacturers
or pecuniarily oppressed the consumers of
their fabrics.
The Kentucky Legislature has adjourned,
without passing the bill to employ a patrol on
the Ohio river, or any other efficient measure
to prevent the escape of slaves into the neigh
boring free States. The alarming increase in
the number of fugitives escaping was apparent
to all, but the members differed and could not
agree as to a remedy for the evil.
The Houston (Texas) Telegraph estimates
that four or five thousand head of cattle per
ished by the severity of the luto winter in
Harris county alone. It estimates their value
at $-’O,OOO, aud that of the cattle in the whole
State lost by the same cause at s.‘>oo,ooo to
$1,000,000.

The report that l)r. Hackhouso, of Pennsyl
vania, hod keen appointed Consul to Havana
turns out to be a mistake. He is appointed
Consul to Hanover, and the telegraph render
ed it Havana. We believe that the Consulship
to Havana has yet to bo filled.
It appenrs that the Governor of Oregon has
already issued $4,000,000 in scrip to defray
the expenses of calling out volunteer soldiers
to fight the Indians. This war promises to
prove a very expensive affair to the General
Government.
It is stated that Gen. Walker seized the boats
of the Nicaragua Transit Company for debt,

TARTY VIEWS AND MOVEMENTS.
Louisiana.—The Democratic Convention ol
this State has appointed a full delegation to
i the Cincinnati Convention, and left them un
instrueted as to the candidate they arc to sup
port for (lie Presidency. An effort was made
by a party in Ihe convention, headed by Hon.
I John Slidell, to instruct the delegates to vote
for Mr. Huchunan, but this movement was de
feated by a largo majority, lion. P. Soule
leading the opposition. Mr. Soule was ap
pointed one of the delegates for the State at
large. A he is understood to be soured to
wards the Administration for its course in re
ference to the Ostcnd Conference and other
matters ol foreign policy, we presume he is
not favorable to the re -nomination of President
Pierce.
CoNNKt Tietr. —The Whigs ol this State
have held a Convention and re-organized for
the npprnachiug election. They have notui
j nated lion. J. A. Rockwell lor Governor, J.
I M. Carter for Lt. Governor, J. H. Trumbull
for Secretary of State, and A. N. Baldwin for
Comptroller. We believe that the State elec
tion comes off in April.
New Ha.mi’,siiihe.—Fuller returns of the
State election in New Hampshire show that
Metcalf, Northern Know Nothing, lias a very
small plurality over Wells, Democrat, but that
the vote for the Whig candidate (probably
about 2,SOU in the State) has prevented an
election by the people under the majority sys
tem. The Senate is said to be equally divided
politically, while the Know Nothing and Frcc
soil coalition have a majority of about thirty
in the House, and will of course control legis
lation to suit their own purposes. The vote
was the largest ever cast in the State, and the
election was very warmly contested.
A Home View.—Our eccentric neighbor,
the Corner Stone, thinks that Mr. Fillmore
will not accept the nomination tendered tohim.
Cause why ? Because he knows that the Free
soilcrs of the North intend to elect a man of
their own, and will never be content with even
a Northern politician “ that any portion of the
South profess to adore as much as they do
Fillmore.” It concludes that “the Black Re
publicans will nominate Seward, and the North
will elect him, unless there shall be a change
of issues, which the South ought to make.”
The Cincinnati Convention.— The Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Courier
makes the following estimate of the result of
the first balloting in the Democratic National
Convention, based upon the presumption that
the delegates will vote by States:
FOR I’lEllCE. FOR BUCHANAN.
New England 41 New Jersey 7
New York 85 Pennsylvania 27
North Carolina 10 Delaware 3
South Carolina 8 Virginia 15
Georgia 10 Louisiana 0
Alabama 9 Kentucky 12
Florida 3
Texas 4 70
Mississippi (1 judue bouolas.
Arkansas 4 (5 N. W. States 62
Maryland 8 Tennessee 12
Missouri 0
138 California 4
87
We think that this estimate is incorrect in
giving Pierce the vote of all the New England
States, and in giving Louisiana to Buchanan ;
but perhaps its summing up will not be found
very wide of the mark.
Greeley in one of his letters from Wash
ington, says that it is pretty well settled among
the Democracy of Congress that Buchanan is
to bo their candidate for the Presidency, while
the Vice Presidency lies between Cobb, Toombs,
Rusk, and Fitzpatrick.

A Mountain Lake.
Embosomed amid the toweriug peaks and
eternal snows of the Sierra Nevada, at an ele
vation of six thousand feet above the level of
the sea, there is great lake which, strange to
say, does not freeze even in the present severe
winter. This is probably owing to its great
depth and the constant motion of its waters;
for it is only at the mouth of the small streams
flowing into the lake that ice forms in any
quantity. The l’laccrville American thus
speaks of it:
“A portion of the lake shores consists of
marshes or meadows: and the numbers of trout,
of all sizes, but many of from two to two ami
a half feet in length, that are found iu these
marshes and shallow waters during thawy
days and nights of winter and spring, are al
most incredible. Keller & Rogers, residents
ot the valley the present winter, are progress
ing finely in the construction of their twenty
ton yacht, and will have it completed by the
middle of May; but the tempting appearance
of the trout in the shallow waters, induced
them immediately to construct a yawl of one
and a half tons burthen, which they have
completed and launched; aud the case with
which the piscatory inhabitants of the lake
are taken, almost spoils the sport, Next sum
mer the valley will be visited by hundreds.

THE COTTON CROP AND PROSPECTS
From tlic Cliarkwton Standard, March ISUi.
The subject of the cottou crop is one of very
considerable interest, not only to Planters who
have not entirely disposed of the products of
tlic lust year, but to merohauts and men
through whose hands it is still slowly passing
to its market of consumption. It is now be
yond all question that the crop of the lust year
will be very much in excess of any crop ever
raised in the United States. It is true that
the facilities for carrying it to market this year
have been more than usually favorable. Rail
roads have penetrated farther into the cotton
gl ow ing regions, and rivers all over the South
and West have generally been navigable. Hut
the receipts, up to the latest dates, at all the
Southern ports amount to 2,611,511 bales, be
ing an increase, up to the same dates ol last
season, of 854,309 hales, and within 250,000
hales of the whole crop of the lust season, and
325,000 hales of the year before, lt is not to
be expected that the receipts from this time
toward will be as heavy as they were from the
same period last year ; but as last year they
amounted to 1,000,000 bales, it is to be sup
posed that they will not fall greatly short of
900,000 bales, and that the whole crop there
fore will umouut to some little more than 3,500,-
000 bales.
Such being the facts, it becomes a question
of importance whether this amount of cotton
can be disposed of without crushing the mar
ket for that staple, aud in consideration of its
iinpo tauce we have thought it proper to bring
a few statements in that regard to the atten
tion of our l eaders. The great centre of that
commercial system, dependent upon cotton, is
in England, and in noticing the statistics of
the last few years, we find that on the Ist of
January, 1855, the stock ou hand amounted to
551,340 bales. The crop of the last year
brought to the markets of the United States,
was 2,929,139 bales, and the stock on hand in
England amounted, on the Ist of January,
1856, to 384,010 bales, showing a decrease of
stock upon a crop of 2,929,139 bales of 167,-
330 bales, and leaving as a necessary inference
that the consumption of the world, even under
the circumstances of the last year, requires
from the United States a crop of 3,096,469
bales.
Has the consumption of the world increas
ed ? This is a question upon which we have at
least the data for approximation. In England,
from the Ist of January to the Bth of Februa
ry, 1855, the consumption amounted to 223,-
520 bales. From the Ist of January to the
Bth of February, 1856, the consumption
amounted to 247,930 —showing an increase, in
a little more than five weeks of this year, over
the consumption during the same time last
year, of 24,410 bales. Whether thesame ratio
of increase will be sustained, is, of course,
questionable; but it is certain that, during the
last season, consumption was stimulated by no
unnatural causes. It was depressed, in fact,
not only by the existence of war, but by a
monetary pressure, which the war began to
exert with great severity upon the commercial
interests of the country. Up to the Bth of
February, there was no prospect of a peace.
The consumption of this season, therefore,
was not occasioned by any unnatural expan
sion, and as there is now almost the certainty
of a peace, and of the expansions which peace
will necessarily occasion, there is every rea
son for believing that the ratio of consumption
will be sustained and more than sustained in
England, and, supposing that other sources of
supply remain the same, that at least 250,000
bales more will be required of this country
than were required before, and that the crop,
therefore, to meet this extraordinary want
without a further reduction of stock must reach
3,346,469 bales.
But of the crop of the preseut year, a great
er amount is being required for the consump
tion of the United States. To the latest dates
of the present year the total supply, including
receipts and stock on hand on the Ist of Sep
tember, amount to 2,752,594 bales ; to the
same dates last year the total supply amounted
to 1,885,940 bales. The exports and stock on
hand and on shipboard amount at the present
time to 2,343,988 bales, leaving a balance of
408,606 bales. The exports and the stock on
hand and on shipboard amounted at the same
time last year to 1,609,666 baUs, leaving a
balance of 276,274 bales. The balance over
the exports and stock on hand and on ship
board, was, last year, as we sec, 276,274 bales,
this year, it is 408,506 bales. Some of this
has, doubtless, been burned ; and some inac
curacies of statements in reference to stocks
and shipments may have occurred, but acci
dents and iuaecuracics are as liable to have
occurred in the one statement as in the other;
and we are induced to the eouclusion, there
fore, the consumption of the United States du
ring the current year, as compared with the
last, is as 408 is to 276; or that since the Ist
of September t here has been a total increase of
consumption to the extent of near 130,000
bnles, which sustained, will give an increase
for the year of over 250,000 bales. This, ad
ded to tho crop required by England, will ren
der a requisition for the two countries of over
3,596,000 bales.
But Continental Europe also makes a fur
ther requisition. To France the exports of the
present season exceed the exports of the last
year by 128,451 bales. To other foreign ports
the shipments exceed those to the same dates
last year by 162,737 bales, making an aggre
gate increase of shipments to foreign ports,
other than those of England, of 291,188 bales.
This increase, if sustained, will give to other
foreign ports a total increase of more than
oOOjOOO bales. That it will be sustained is
hardly probable, but that to this increase of
shipment there has been an increase of requi
sition, is scarcely to be questioned; and it
would not be too much to say that theiucrcas
ed requirements of Continental Europe for the
present season, will fall little short of 300,000
bales. Supposing that these statements ap
proach to accuracy, and that all other sources
of supply arc permanent at the figures of the
last year, we have thus the requisiti ms for a
crop of 3,896,000 bales.
It is to be doubted, however, whether the
other sources of supply upon which Europe
has to a considerable extent depended, will be
sustained. It is believed, that from the East
Indies alone, there will be a falling off 100,-
000 bales. Os this fact, however, we have
not the data from which to make the calcula
tion. It true, there will be the necessity for
a crop of near 4,000,000 bales, to meet the con
sumption of the world; but if not so, there
would seem to be, at least, the necessity for a
crop of more than 3,850,000 bales, and as this
is more than the crop of the United States can
reach by any reasonable estimato, aud as the
stock on hand in England, on the Ist of Janu
ary, was unusually low, so low in fact, as that
without the prospect of so heavy a crop iu the
United States, would have caused a panic
among consumers, there is no reasonable
ground for the apprehension, that any excess
of our present product will press upon the
murket; on the contrary, it is to be question
ed, whether as the season closes, a deficiency
may not appear, and prices advance to a high
er range than they have touched for some time
past.

To (he Editor of the Daily San :
Mr. Editor— The establishment of a Crim
inal Court in the city of Columbus, by an act
of the last Legislature, makes it a duty devol
ving upon us to select some suitable person to
discharge the important and responsible duties
of Judge of said Court, and in doing so the
name of Michael N. Clarke, Esq., presents it
self to our mind, as one eminently qualified to
discharge the duties of that office, honestly
and faithfully.
Mr. Clarke lias been a resident of our city
since its first settlement. That he is a good
Statute Lawyer all will admit, and if lie will
consent to the use of his name, and should be
elected, we feel nohestation in say ing that the
law so long as lie should be the gnardian for
its administration would be faithfully and im
partially executed. MANY VOTERS.

Spanish Silver Coin.
It is stated that the Finance Committee of
the United States Senate have matured a pro
ject designed to lead to the gradual abandon
ment and ultimate rejection of the small Span
ish silver coins as part of the circulating medi
um, and that it will forthwith be submitted to
legislative action. The result of the experi
ments to ascertain the value of the Spanish
sixteenth, eighth and quarter of a dollar, is re
ported to the Committee as indicating tlic first
to be worth a fraction over five cents, the sec
ond about eleven, aud the quarter about twen
ty-three and twenty-four cents. The bill they
have framed is believed to provide that the ex
isting laws authorizing the circulation and es
tablishing a value of all foreign coins, except
the Spanish fractional divisions of the dollar,
be at once repealed. As to these fractious,
they allow them to be circulated for two years
at the value of 5, 10 aud 20 cents respectively,
and thereafter they are to be excluded alto
gether from circulation. Hut at the mint they
will at all times be received as bullion, and
paid for by weight.
The First Meeting of the Plenipotentiaries.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily News
thus describes the circumstances under which
the Conference assembled:
The Parisian public exhibited no great cu
riosity to see the Plenipotentiaries, for the
number of spectators assembled in front of the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs at one o’clock,
was not greater than that which a respectable
Punch and Judy show will attract any day in
the week. Os the few assembled, the greater
part were nurserymaids, washerwomen aud
’longshoremen, whose ideas of the functions of
plenipotentiaries must be of the vaguest. The
sergens de eillc on duty seemed quite disappoint
ed at seeing so few people, for they rated those
few for the mere sake, apparently, of showing
their authority, and dislodged them repeatedly
iu a most unnecessary manner from the posi
tion they had taken up to see the great men
arrive, lt was supposed that the Plenipoten
tiaries would arrive in great state, dressed in
court suits, and escorted by the guards of hon
or.
But this was not so. At precisely three
minutes past one a modest looking brougham,
scarcely remarked till it was within a few
yards ot the Ministry, drove into the front
gate, and halted at the foot of the grand stair
case. The carriage contained the Sardinian
Plenipotentiaries, Count Cavour and the Mar
quis Villamarina. A single chasseur was
their only attendant. They, like all the Plen
ipotentiaries who followed, were dressed iu
plain morning costume. As they ascended
the staircase, a squadron of M. Walewski’s
footmen, who were on the lookout, threw wide
open the glass doors, and the Piedmontese Rep
resentatives entered the hotel the first. A few
minutes afterward came Turkey—Ali Pasha,
the Grand Vizier, and Mcliemet Bey were
dressed just like Europeans, except that they
wore of course the inevitable red lez. The
Grand Vizier wore a Talma, that might have
been bought in Regent street. England and
Austria followed shortly afterward, in remark
ably unpretending carriages. There was then
a pause of several minutes.
People began to ask whether Russia would
not find some excuse not to come. But at a
quarter past one, a handsome carriage, with
two chasseurs behind it, drove up at a rapid
pace, containing the Russian Plenipotentiaries.
Count Orloff stepped out first, and although he
is seventy years of age, ran up the steps like
a boy. 1 had an opportunity of seeing him
well, for when he arrived at the top of the
landing, he took off his hat as if to return the
salute of the servants in waiting, and then
turned round to see what had become of his
colleague. Baron de Brunow got out of the
carriage very slowly. His face was enveloped
in an ample comforter; he walked up the
stairs with a somewhat faltering step, aud his
spare, bent form presented a striking contrast
to that of his coadjutor. Count Orloff is a
wonderful Woking man for his age. He is of
large size, very erect, and his countenance
denotes robust health and great resolution.
lie has a very large head, covered with iron
gray hair, cropped close. The expression of
his features is quite Caliuaek, but as he smiled
at Baron Brunow slowly mounting the stairs
after him, he had a good-natured look.”
