Cotton Receipts Again.
Wc print elsewhere this morning a com
munication from a citizen cf Savannah,
distinguished .alike for his intelligence
and public spirit, upon the subject of out
city's comparative cotton receipts.
Ilis remarks were called forth by
an editorial in these columns
headed "The Cotton Men in Coun
cil." which has !een the subject of
much comment, but which, if it shall im
press the cotton interests of Savannah as
't appears to have struck our correspond
ent. will accomplish what it sought to
effect. A'ur correspondent discusses his
theme with force and comprehension, and
enumerates the causes of the trouble com
plained of as they appear to his view - . He
shows that Savannah has -ample territory
to draw from, amtwthat her receipts can
be largely increased if the proper efforts
are made.
< *ne thing is clear. The cotton business
must be run on strictly business princi
ples. if its growth is to be effected. Rivals
have sprung up who are quick to seize
every opportunity- to compete with us.
It is a grave mistake to fancy
that cotton will necessarily come
to Savannah in preference to othtr places.
Inducements must be offered and ol<sta
cles removed, otherwise our receipts,
instead *>f increasing, will steadily de
*•l hu*. The remedy rests with those di
rectly interested, though the entire com
munity shares in the concern that the
subject excites.
We doubt not that the will exists to cor
rect the defects that lie at the bottom or
the trouble, and we trust that the proper
methods will Ik* applied. The subject re
quires careful study and judicious action.
To our view the remedy will be fouud in
working Lr the interests of the city. Re
strictions upon trade are not calculated
to foster commerce, however they may
protit those -that impose them on
those for whose benefit they arc imposed.
The committee of the Cotton Exchange,
we learn.are engaged in the work assigned
them, and will give the matter an exhaus-
tive inquiry, and it is expected that their
repirt will cover every aspect of the
trouble and sug*gest the best measures for
its remedy.
Tbe Sri-Back to Mahonc.
The results of the local elections in Vir
ginia are in keeping with the drift of pule
li<* sentiment throughout the country. It
was plain last November that Mahoneisrn
was on the wane. Supported, as was his
boast, by the “whole weight of
the administration,” he set to
work to hold his ground and
acted the role of "boss" as it has never
been acted before. He overdid Wis part
and brought tijion himself the blunt criti
cism of every decent Republican journal.
Despite the countenance given him by the
administration he has failed to secure
what he sought. The Democrats have
defeated him in many of his
former strongholds, and hw has lost the
prestige that was so essential to him.
The negroes have largely deserted him.
slid liis assumption that a Republican re
vival under his leadership was prob
able in Virginia has leen disproved.
His first success commended him
as an ally to the Republican party, but
the revolt against liossism which was
made throughout the country affected him
likewise.
The Democrats of Virginia are en
couraged to go forward with their work
for the deliverance of the commonwealth.
Mahone and his lieutenants will not relax
their efforts to maintain their power, but
they cannot hope to succeed. They have
received a set back that they cannot
recover from.
There is nothing so successful as sue
<***ss. Success was Mahone’s capital, but
he has overdrawn it. He may have the
offices, but he cannot control enough
votes, and votes is what the Republican
{•arty wants. Arthur may tind use for the
delegates Mahone will control in the next
Republican National Convention, if a rival
set does not claim and receive admission,
but the chances are that Virginia’s elec
toral votes will go as they should go to
the Democratic nominee for the Presi
dency.
Mr. John Kelly’s offices on the first floor
ot the Mail arul Express building, in New
York, are said to be always crowded. The
offices consist of three rooms, one of which
is packed with politicians waiting for a
chance to get in a word with Mr. Kelly,
while the second is filled with politicians
who have got as far as Mr. Mooney, the
private secretary, and the third is empty
save for Mr. Kelly and the influential few
who have silled through into his presence.
Mayor Edson, of New York, may le seen
in the act of sifting by any one who w aits
his own turn to sift and is compelled to
wait long in the outer rooms. Aldermen,
it is said by- one who knows, are rarely
kept waiting more than half an hour,
I’ol ice < ’ominissiouers hardly so long, and
th** grade to which other politicians in
NewlYork belong can always Ik* deter
mined by the time they consume u going
through the sifting operation at Tammany
headquarters.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says that a letter from an.
army officer at Fort Keogh, Montana Ter
ritory, gives an amusing account of the
scene presented by four Captains and four
Lieutenants swinging the axe at the head
of their men in cutting down wood for
winter fuel. An order had come from
headquarters that the troops at the fort
would have to supply their own fucT for
the next winter, on account of shortness
of the appropriations. The writer won
ders if the "Coburgers” wjio are interested
in such tine positions in Washington will
have to cut their own wood. Undoubtedly
not: but it is none the less true that it
would Ik* a good thing, both for them and
the service, if some of the •‘Coburgers’’
were sent out to the plains and made to
earn their living by cutting wood or by
any other honest jabor. The correspond
ent forgets that the field for the applica
tion of the noble art of poker is as bound
less as our vast domains.
llano, the chief city of Tonquin, on the
>ong-k<* river, is surrounded by a large
force of Anna mil***,, .supported by the
promise, if not by the presence, of CJip*
nesc auxiliaries. The French garrison
has been aide so far to hold out, but the
news that Capt. Riviere, comipaiuling the
French forces in Tonquin, has been killed
while making a sortie from the citadel,
ha* aroused the government to the neces
sity of strengthening the corps of troops
serving in Cochin China. It will be re
called that Lieut. Gamier was fcilled at
the same place and under similar circum
stances in 1574. At that time it was Chi
nese resistant*/* that thwarted the designs
of the French on Tonquin, and that they
are to meet now with a similar obstacle
is indicated by the news that Li Hung
Chang has leen summoned to take com
mand of troops in the provinces border
ing on Tonquin.
The Kentucky Republican State Con
vention, to which the new Internal Rev*
ecue Commissioner was a delegate, de
clared in its platform “that Chester A,
Arthur, coming .into the office of Presi
dent of tbe United States under circum
stances of unparalleled embarrassment,
has fully met tbe requirements of his great
office, and his administration commends
itself to the respect and confidence of the
American people.” We take it that the
appointment of Evans commended the
administration to the Kentucky section
of "the people.”
The Washington Post remarks: “There
has never been greater necessity than now
exists for a strong man at the head of the
Internal Revenue Bureau. The transfer
of Mr. Baum from the inside to the out
side, from manager for the goerniuent to
attorney for the distillers, creates aq in
creased necessity for strength in the office
that Mr. Baum left. If Mr. Evans proves
equal to the occasion he will display
ability of a very high order.” There is a
great deal of suggestiveness iq the lan
guage of the Post.
Ex-Governor Seymour, according to a
New York pajier, reads many newspa{K*rs
and goes out but little*. A man once stole
a load of wood from the Governor’s estate
and broke down on the road. Many
drivers passed him, but the Governor
alighted and not only aided him but lent
him a strap. He knew that the wood was
bis own. We can imagine the deport
ment of B. B. Hayes, of Fremont, Ohip,
under like circumstances.
Savannah'* Comparative Receipts.
Editor Morning .Vet rs: The editorial
in vour paper of 24th instant headed “The
Cotton Men in Council,” presented mat
ter that calls for much thought and de
liberation on the part of all who are in
terested in the business and general pros
perity of ottr growing city. It would ai>-
pear that the causes of the comparative
falling off in the receipts of cotton at th*’
port of Savannah can lie found in our
midst—directly at our doors.' They rest
on the broad foundations of restriction
and selfishness: a denial of free trade.
such denial may work to the advantage of
cotton presses, possibly to the advantage
of certain railroads, which refuse to haul
cotton to Savannah from particular quar
ters. because under the pooling arrange
ments. itarannah ought not to hare any
more from that territory! and the cotton
press interests must be fostered by de
clining to bring compressed cotton to our
port: All this may work well for the lew,
as does the despised tariff for the manu
facturers of cottou and woolen fabrics—
iron, steel, etc., etc., but it works very
t.adly for the rest of mankind. In the mat
ters under consideration it works most
injuriously upon the people and business
of our city, and the sooner this is under
stood and the wrongs corrected, the lietter
will it be for the growing commerce of
this port.
In a recent communication a corre
spondent in vour pa{>er mentioned as a
fact that the boats running on the Savan
nah river, from Augusta to Savannah, did
not bring cotton at a low rate of freight,
as thev could well do, and make a fair
profit.' And why? Because they were
paid by the Central Railroad Company
not to Ao it. in order that said road might
bring vyhatever was consigned to our mer
chants and charge $1 35 per bale instead
of 50 cents, at which the river boats
could afford to transport it! This works a
double wrong; first to the merchant com
peting with the merchants of other cities;
second, to the commerce of the jiort, by
forcing much business to seek a market
elsewhere. In the general enumeration
of wrongs, we should not forget the fact
stated by you, Mr. Editor, that our mar
ket has ruled lower than Charleston. Nor
folk. Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York
and Boston by a half to one cent a pound.
With this condition ot affairs in our
midst let us for a moment cast our eyes
over the vast extent of rich and produc
tive territory that ought to be almost
exclusively tributary to Savannah, and,
other things equal, w ill be, but i nil not
be if restrictions and •selfishness arc* to
rule the hour and check a full advance
ment ol our commerce.
With a map of the cotton growing
States before us, let us trace a line due
West from Savannah, which will corre
fipond nearly with the thirty-second par
allel of north latitude, and we will come,
after* crossing the Mississippi and Red
rivers, verv nearly to Marshall, the east
ern terminus of the Southern Pacific Rail
road, where a large part of the bountiful
products of the Southwest and of the Pa
cific coast are soon to be delivered, with
thousands and thousands of passengers.
As our port is nearer Marshall than any
other well established Atlantic harbor,
with a growing commerce, it should fol
low that a liberal share of freights and
passengers brought, by the Southern
Pacific would come to us. If we
lie left out in this new and great move
ment, it will lie largely our own fault.
This parallel of 32 degrees—the shortest
line to the ocean —passes through the
heart of the cottou lielt, and should have
freights at every point along its whole ex
tent. to lie delivered first at Savannah,
and thence by steamers at New York,
Boston and to the whole world. To accom
plish this, /*■*: have the shortest haul over
land, and ocean steamers of the first-class.
With these advantages over our competi
tors, should we Ik* left behind Should we
fall off in comparative receipts?
Returning to the far West again over
our short line, we will discover a com
petitor at almost every step, offering in
ducements to shippers and travelers to
turn aside from the direct—the short line
—and go with them. At tbe very begin
ning—as far, far West as Big Sandy and
Marshall—they say come with us through
Little Rock to Memphis and St. Louis;
and from these cities to harbors to the
North; or at Cisco and Shreveport, they
extend their invitations to New Orleans
and the Gulf, but not to Savannah and
the ocean. Returning easterly we come
to the Mississippi anil Vickburg, where
our friendly competitors—the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia Road
and the Alabama Groat N.
E. and S. W. Railroads stand
ready to receive all with ojK-n arms, and
carry them thousands of miles overland at
cheap rates, if thev will agree to turn
aside from the short line. Should the
shipper and traveler resist all the tempta
tion thrown in their paths at the points
named, and continue directly onward,
when they arrive at Atlanta, or even at
Montgomery, Ala., they will be urged to
take the Richmond and Danville or the
Kennesaw Route for Norfolk or some port
further north?
With all these facilities offered him, let
us suppose a shipper at Vicksburg, Sel
ma, Montgomery, Rome or Atlanta to have
300 bales of compressed cotton which he
desired to send by rail to Savannah
and thence by steamer North or
to Europe, and was told his cot
ton, lK*ing compressed, was objected to by
stevedores and merchants at Savannah—
and if taken there at all, nothing would lie
allowed focjuiv press work done at in
terior cities or towns! What would be
his answer to all this? It would Ik* in
substance: I will not trouble you any
further in this business, but will hereaf
ter send my cotton to markets not so fas
tidious as Savannah appears to be. and
over a road of greater length, unnatural
as it may apjK*ar
We have endeavored, Mr, Editor, to
give a clear analysis of the subject, to
make a correct diagnosis of the disease,
leaving the remedy to our intelligent
friends of the Cotton Exchange, not
doubting the success of their treatment;
and we now close with many good wishes
for vourself and the continued prosperity
of ' Savannah.
May suth, jvtu.

The spirit of Garfield agrees with many
leading Republicans, still in the flesh, iu
the opinion that “the country will go
Democratic" at the next Presidential
election. Ex-Senator Conkliug has al
ready made a similar prediction. Mr. Jay
Gould, who has contributed more than
anv other individual to Republican sue-
thinks the Democrats will suc
ceed. Ex-Secretary Blaine is understood
to entertain the same belief. The
indications all favor a forecast in which
dead and living Republicans agree. The
old Republican leaders are out of the
field. The new lights are being extin
guished one after another. The Tabor
bubble has burst. Mahone is used up.

a third, and she resigned yesterday to

A Bostonian recently returned from
Europe relates an incident which is not
without its point. He was standing one
evening in a hotel at Amsterdam when a
lively colloquy took place between a valet
de place and a courier. The former, while
wiping the perspiration from his face,
burst out: “These Americans lieat everv
tbing. A.family came yesterday and said
they must see Amsterdam in one day. 1
put them through, and have iust started
them off in the ears, M hy, these Ameri.
cans when sight-seeking work like
horses.” “Yes,” added the courier sen
tentiously, “and they spend their money
like asses.”
Last Sunday a man and his wife named
Palmer, living in Crowley county,Kansas,
while laboring tinder a delusion, stripped
themselves, and, not being adorned by
even tbe historical fig leaf, wandered
about their corral and orchard all day and
night, imagining they were iu Eden and
obeying the behests of Jehovah. As the
husband is a very strong and powerful
man the neighbors were afraid' to go near
them, but on Monday morning some of
them coaxed up courage enough to go to
them and persuade them to Clothe them
selves. Their children were in the house,
but were unable tc do anything with their
parents. The couple are now quiet, but
still out of their minds. The woman, who
is very well educated, was bitten by a
rattlesnake a few days before the above
occurrence, but trusting solely in prayer,
refused to allow anything to bo done to
cure the bite.
The existing cedars of Lebanon are

who says: “To it kings baye even dedi,

MR. KRIM'S STRANGE ADIEU.
An Affectionate Farewell to a Family
Left Destitute.
St. Louie Special. Xth.
The topic of conversation this week has
iieen the mysterious Misap{iearance of ex-
Judge Chester H. Krurn. The afternoon
of April. 26 he went to his home ou Locust
street and told his wife he was going to
Chicago, and that he would take his valise
with an ordinary amount of linen in it.
There was nothing out of the way man
announcement of this kind, and Mrs.
Krum proceeded to make such prepara
tions for his departure as were necessarv.
As he was ready to leave the house he
turned back and" said be believed he would
take a trunk. This he packed himself,
saying he might be gone longer than he
When he was ready to start he ordered
a carriage and asked Mrs. Krutn and the
children—seven in all —to go with him to
the depot. This was something he had
never done before, and Mrs. Krum was
struck by it, as she also was by his un
usual tenderness in saying good-bye to her
and the children. , ,
That was Thursday evening. The fol
lowing Fridav he was seen in Chicago,
and on Tuesday of the next week he took
dinner at the Albemarle House. New
York, his name having been written on
the register in a scrawling hand quite un
like his regular signature.
Since that time up to this present writ
ing no other tidings have been received.
Ilis brother-in-law, Mr. Hugh McKit
triek, went to New York, but wrote back
that he could find no trace of the missing
man, and that he hail either gone abroad
or committed suicide.
All this, coupled with the fact that
Judge Krum mortgaged his household
furniture for s6o° the day before he left,
proves conclusively that this is not an ac
cidental disappearance. John M. lvrum.
Chester's father, is still reticent and de
clines to sav anything.
The New York Stock Exchange.
_V#t c Yirrk Cor. Philadelphia Ledger.
It is a matter of some interest to know
what a‘"seat" at the Stock Exchange is
now worth, but, from the nature ol the
case, it is a “pursuit of knowledge under
difficulties.” A year ago $32,000 was the
top price; was when castles in
the air were the order of the day, and
when evervbodv that had “Wabash,”
“Denver” or “fc. T.” and other things
of the sort were just as sure there were
“millions In it” as the philanthropic
Colonel Mulberry Sellers was, in his
proposed little sjieculation in eye
water for the benefit of the Chi
nese. Since then, it is needless to
sav, the scene has somewhat changed,
and the proprietors of those airy fabrics
are, as a class, in a position to ruminate
upon the deceitfulness of riches, and the
delusive character ol what the late Daniel
Drew used to call ’‘street pints.” The
expected fortunes have not been realized,
margins upon margins have been raked
into the till of the giant speculators, the
lambs are no longer visible in the brokers’
sheepfolds, and the “two wool clips a
year,” which Mr. Hatch says Wall street
can always calculate upon, even at the
worst of times, have apparently been in
definitely postponed. Brokers without
commissions are in as desperate a
ease, as lawyers without clients and
preachers without congregations. Cur
rent expenses, nevertheless, must be
met, whether there are customers or not,
and the temptation, if not the necessity,
to realize on Exchange tneinbei ship,
therefore, cannot always lie resisted. So
far from $32,000 being obtainable for one
of these now, it is a question with some
of the best informed people in the street
whether S2S,tXN) could Ik* realized. One of
them puts it in this way: “If you want to
buy, I don't think you could get a seat
for less than $25,000;' but if you want to
sell, you would do well if you got $23,1KK).”
If this estimate is correct, it marks in a
very striking way the heavy shrinkage in
the fanev values'of previous years, and
also the’ fact that, for the •time being,
brokers outnumber customers by a large
Mississippi Goods for Mexico.
A recent number of the Handsboro,
Miss., Advertiser contains the following:
Whenever the Adaertiser is afforded an
opportunity it takes pleasure in telling
its readers "of home enterprises and deal
ing with them according to their worth—
and all are worthy institutions. The
present chance was given the writer
Monday evening, as at that tiiup
Captain Charles DeYaux, of Pass
Christian, and Secretary for the Mexi
can Exchange ol New Orleans, stopped
off the train at Ulmanville for
the purpose* of purchasing $2,000 worth
ot' Oman's goods for a Mexican merchant.
It may appear strange that a Mexican
merchant should buy goods from this
mill, but considering the fact that
the goods were sold on their merit, and
came into competition with the products
of Mississippi and other Southern mills,
the fact is apparent, and the truth re
solves itself Into the six words, as fol
lows; Oman’s' goods sell upon their
merit.
The fact that Mr. Oman made a sale for
the Mexican market, speaks well for his
factory, but to, sell in competition with
other factories s{K*aks still lietter for him.
It seems that the Mexican merchant in
passing through New Orleans recently on
his way to New York city to purchase
stock, was thoughtful enough to get aam*
pies of goods and jiriee lists from Oman's
and the Mississippi factories, In New
York he also sought the same class
of goods there, but could not find any
to suit, in either quality or price. He,
therefore, wrote to the Mexican Exchange
in New Orleans, stating the reasons as
above, and instructed Captain De Yaux
its his agent, to buy from the Oman Fac
tory $2,000 wortii of woolen goods and he
would remit the cash for same. Now, SI 1
this was nothing but a business transac
tion, mutually pleasing to both parties
concerned, blit at the same time the peo
ple ot the ooast‘should, as they doubtless
do, take a just pride in the fellow-citizen
ship of Mr. Oman, and heartily indorse
liis meritorious factory enterprise.

Killed by a Snake Bite.
Reading [Pa.) Sjriecial, i7th.
The awful death of a young man from a
snake bite is rejrorted B'Qffi -Mcckville, this
county Foqr Weeks ago Deter Strause,
aged twenty-one years, was at work in the
woods. While removiug timber he felt a
sharp, stinging pain in his left hand, but
paid no attention to it at first. In a few
davs. however, the arm began swelling,
anil finally the entire body became swol
len and very much inflamed. It was then
believed that a snake had bitten Ipm, al
though the early season did not warrant
such belief, airause became very ill and
his body was peculiarly colored.
The poison had a terrible effect on him.
He had been perfectly healthy, yet in a
few weeks his teeth drooped qiR and b
became nearly blind. Medical aid could
afford no relief. His eyes were fixed and
jaws set; he was unable to take any food

tioti of his throat, and he died in Spasms.
It is believed tl;at either a black spider or
a copperhead snake bit him.

In three of the niches will lie placed the

Biliousness and Bilious Patients.
Pertaining to Bile, Bilious Symptoms,
Bilious Temperaments. The Remedy.
The Bilious is a disorder of the human
system. A technical definition of the term
is this: “Pertaining to the bile; disordered
in respect to the bile; as, a bilious patient;
dependent on an excess of bile; as, bilious
temperament: bilious symptoms.”
The word bile, when employed in the
sense in which it is to he understood in
this article, signifies, according to the dic
tionaries, “a yellow, greenish, bitter, vis
cid, nauseous fluid secreted by the liver.”
“Any derangement of the bile at once
manifests itself in great bodily discomfort,
in loss of appetite, and in despondency,”
recently remarked an author of a valuable
treatise upon this subject.
The same writer further adds: “Some
of the following symptoms are usually
prominent: Pain in the right side, which
is very sensitive to pressure. The pain
will sometimes appear to be located under
the shoulder blade. There is also irregu
lar appetite, flatulence, a sense of fullness
in the region of the stomach, and, sooner
or later, the skin and whites of the eyes
become yellow, the stools clay colored and
the urine yellow, depositing a copious sedi
ment.” The balance of the too familiar
train of ills needs no further mention here.
The bilious is, as will be seen, an afflic
tion of great magnitude, and of varied
forms of direct and indirect appearance.
The disease is no respecter of persons or
localities. Its deadly and implacable
enemy is found in
Kidney-Wort.
It acts on the liver and kidneys at the
same time, and by its mild but efficient
cathartic effects moves the bowels freely.
The morbid poisons that have been the
cause of all this disease and suffering will
be thrown off; new life will be infused into
every organ, and nature, thus aided will
soon restore the patient to health.
Physicians of repute and standing, men
who are honored for their probity, and
respected and trusted for their scientific
attainments, are using Kidney-Wort in
their practice regularly. No stronger evi
dence of the worth of the remedy would
seem to lie necessary. Such indorsements
are few and far between. We had a 1 most
said that they were without precedent in
the history of a proprietary remedy. Be
that as it ’may, however, the fact remains
established that Kidney-Wort, is a match
less remedy, and one that needs onlv to he
tested to demonstrate its rare merit as a
healer of most of the common maladies of
the human family,
Dk. Philip C. Ballou,
lives in Monkton, Vt, Under date of April
20th, 1882, the doctor wrote to the proprie
tors of Kidney-Wort, and said, among
other things: “Nearly a year ago I wrote
you about the success I had had in the use of
Kidney-Wort in my practice. • The past
year I have used it more than ever, and
with the best results. It cured Mr. Ethan
Lawrence, of this town, of a terrible case
of bloated kidnev disorder. I have also
treated nit my other diseases successfully
with it. Constipation, in all its forms.
fields to it, and in rheumatic affections I
have known it to give almost immediate
relief. In female disorders it is equally
successful. Take it U in all it is tbp most
wonderful medicine 1 have e ver used.”
I>r. Ballou does not stand, alone in his ex
perience with this remedy. It. K. Clark,
M, D„ of South Hero, Vt., says: “Kid
ney-Wort does all that is claimed for it.”
Whilst Dr. C. M. Summerlin, of Sun Hill,
Washington county, Ga., says, in a nut
shell: “Kidney-Wort cured my wife when
my own and other physicians’ prescrip
tions only palliated her troubles.”
