The Price o» Cotton and What it
Teaches
In spite of the experiences of the re
cent years with their gradual average
decline in the price of cotton, follow
ing the equally gradual increase in the
product of the staple, the people of
the South seem determined to pursue
the impolitic course of expanding the
cotton area and contracting their pro
vision crops. Last year the cotton crop
fell but little short of four million
bales. The crop of this year will be
probably as good, notwithstanding the
serious disasters that have befallen it.
The seasons ot the present year were
most propitious; but the caterpillar
and boll worm have shortened the
crop far below what it would have
been. And but for these disasters the
crop would have, in all probability,
reached five millions.
As it is, the cotton markets of the
world are glutted, the demand for the
staple being only moderate, and prices
are growing weaker every day. The
decline has not touched the bottom.
The press has not been remiss in its
duty to the planters in warning them
of the disastrous consequences of in
vesting all their capital in a single
production. Time and again, year
alter year, the journals of the South
have endeavored to convince the plan
ters of the impolicy of such a course.
And now we begin to see the results
of a policy so often foreshadowed, al
most prophetically, by the press,
which has manfully done its duty in
this respect.
Cotton already at 12 to 13 cents
and nearly all supplies at high prices,
presents a gloomy prospect to the
planter who has all cotton upon his
hands and no provisions. Can the
farmer hope for success and prosperity
by pursuing such a course? Can he
expect to realize the fruits of his hard
labor while be gluts the markets of the
world with a single product of his fer
tile lands?
The financial disasters of the day
should teach the planter a lesson that
will redound to his good for all time to
come. Three million Males of cotton,
and our provisions made at home,
would be worth as much to us as five
millions thrown upon a glutted mark
et—the whole price of which must go
back again to the North for supplies.

Getting Out of Debt.
The Nashville Union-American con
tains a brief but sensible and timely
article on getting out of debt, in which
t says that “it always makes tight-
times when pay day comes to a people
who import foreign goods beyond their
means to pay for the same. In the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1872, our
importations amounted to the un
precedented sum of six hundred and
fifty million dollars. This year they
are less, and the nation is trying to
reduce its indebtedness to Europe.
When most of this debt was contracted
cotton was worth in New York, on an
average, 214 cents a pound.
Now when we are trying to cancel
the same cotton is worth in New York
about 154 cents in the same currency.
These facts show the folly of running
into debt and overtrading. It takes
ten million dollars a month in gold, or
its equivalent, to pay the interest in
Europe on our government and other
bonds. If these bonds and other cred
its were held in this country by sav
ings banks and others it would save
paying an annual tribute of some two
hundred million dollars iugold, cotton,
corn and other staples, as interest
money that does not lessen our debt to
foreigners a dime. This payment of
so much interest is the weak point or
bump in the American skull. Instead
of running headlong into debt, and sell
ing corn and cotton at low figures to
pay up old bills and make new ones on
credit, we should reform our whole
system of trade and finance and
*s we go.”
If we could only do this says the
Augusta Chronicle, pay as we go, the
South would be the most prosperous
section of the Union.—Our people
must live within their income. Ex
travagance in living is the curse of the
country, and the people of Georgia
are no exception to the rule. In both
city and country we rush into debt and
live beyond our meaus, just as if there
was never to be a day of settlement.
The credit system is a postive evil, and
as long as it lasts we fear that it will
be impossible for our people to get
out of debt.—Ad. Rep.

The problem of Woman’s Rights is
at last to be practically solved in Mas
sachusetts. A woman’s community
has been formed in the town of Wo
burn, near Boston, in which the wo
men will own all the real estate and
have the entire management of affairs.
The tyrant man is to be utterly dis
qualified in a political sense. The
members of the community will be
obliged to attend unsectariaQ services
once a week. Industrial and domestic
schools and a laundry on a very large
scale will be established. One thou
sand persons are already committed to
this novel enterprise, which will here
after be known as “ The Women’s
Economical Garden Homestead
League.” The result of this exclu
sively feminine experiment will be
watched with interest by the members
of the sisterhood everywhere.
Practice vs. Precept.—The Radi
cals of Oil City, Pa., are very much
disgusted at having a negro Mayor of
their town. It seems that at the elec
tion, a Radical by the name of Sowers
having since been elected to the more
lucrative office of County Treasurer,
his resignation gives to the Council
man having the highest number of votes
an opportunity to step into his official
shoes, and this devolves upon Miles
Green, a negro who it is said owes his
election to the Democrats, who voted
for him with the idea that they were
perpetrating a good joke. A few such
jokes will have a good effect in expos
ing the falsehood and hypocricy of the
Pennsylvania Radicals.
Emigration agents are to be driven
out of Prussia. This is the order of
the Government. The Bismarck pol
icy has alarmed the people, and they
are leaving Prussia by the thousands.
This the Governor has determined to
atop by some orders and enactments.
That cannot be done, however, and it
individual—mentally, socially, or pe
cuniarily. A broader, brighter and a

The Blephant.
Elephants live, it is generally be
lieved, to the age of a~bundredor a
hundred and twenty years,and average
six to seven feet in height. A very
few years since, one died at Benares
which was believed by local tradition
to have carried Warren Hastings. At
seventy years old the animal is quite
in its prime, an 1 will perform long
marches, beat the jungles for a whole
day, and receive unmoved the charge
of the solitary buffalo, a greater test of
staunchness and confidence than the
rush and roar of a tiger. The price of
a docile elephant, free from disease or
vice, and with many seasons of useful
ness before it, varies ftpm <£60 or £70
to £120. Much higher sums are con
stantly given for those which have a
reputation in the sporting world, or
which are conspicuous for their height
or symmetry, orare peculiarly fitted to
play a part in festivals or social page
antry. An elephant of nine, ten, or
eleven feet is rare, but is magnificent
to behold. Each animal has its name.
The female is “the Pearl,” the “be
loved ” one, or the “golden mouth.”
Recent history or ancient traditions is
called on to supply appellations for
the males, which range from the fami
liar sounds of HyderAli and Tippoo
on the one hand, up to the mythic he
roes of the Indian epics on the other;
Bhima, who wielded a mace like
Athelstan the unready, and Arjuna,
who, like Ulysses, distanced all com
petitors in the use of the bow. Herds
of these animals in a wild state are
still to be found in central and South
ern India, in the jungles of Assam, and
also in the forests which skirt the east
ern frontier of the Indian peninsula. It
is scarcely necessary to add that ele
phants cannot be used for practical
purposes except in hot climates. But
there are few sights more in harmony
with an eastern landscape than a line
of some fifteen or twenty elephants
waiting, by the side of some well-
known cover, for the signal to com
mence operations, or than the solitary
animal which may be seen towards
evening in the months of January or
February, alowly wending its way
over an enormous plain to a cluster of
white-tents in which a couple of’ Eng
lish officials are [recording the results
of a survey of the country, or have
been dealing out useful advice and
summary justice to a whole village
population.—Saturday Review.
Progress of Coast Survey.—Prof.
Benjamin Pierce, superintendent of
the coast survey, has forwarded his
preliminary report to Secretary Rich
ardson in advance of the final reports
from the field. He reviews the field
or work on the Atlantic, Gulf and
Pacific coast, in which surveying
parties have been engaged during the
year, and says in the northern sections
work will be continued until the ap
proach of cold weather, when the
parties will resume the survey of the
southern coast.
Further southward, the operations
of the year include Cape Fear river to
WilmingtOD, North Carolina; the coast
ofSouth Carolina, between Little river
and Wingah bay; parts of the Corsaw
river and of Port Royal Island, Georgia;
the survey of Halifax rivnr, and the
adjacent coast below Matanzus inlet,
Florida and the extension of hydrogra
phy in the vicinity of the Florida
reef. -
