Colton Reclamations.
The Journal of Commerce, of Saturday
last, contains the following, which interest
those engaged in the cotton trade. The
cotton dealers have been for some time
discussing the difficulties connected with
the adjustment of claims and disputes in
regard to sales and deliveries of this staple!
and have at last agreed upon a rule which
will obviate nearly all the trouble. The
following document, resulting from this
agreement, has been signed by the whole
trade:
We, the undersigned, receivers of and
dealers in cotton, do hereby authorize all
brokers through whom we may sell cotton,
to insert in all contracts of sale made on
our account, the following clauses and
pledge ourselves to enforce the same on all
svles made for us, on and after this date,
viz.:
“No reclamations allowed on any cotton
of the grade of ‘low middling,’ and below,
unless the difference in qualities in any
one bale is to the extent of one full grade,
and even in such ease no reclamation to
allowed unless claimed on delivery of the
cotton. No reclamation allowed for iron
hoops or bands to the number of six on
each bale, if not of unusual weight.”
Miatreueeu and Servant*.
Complaints innumerable are heard in
almost every household of the land about
the incapacity of servant girls. They are
indifferent or worthless, dishonest or dirty.
Granting that these complaints be true, an
examination of them will afford interesting
study. A candid observer will be much
surprised at how much their tone or even
their substance depeuds upon the taste of
their employer. One lady of refinement
will find in some unfortunate Bridget the
most vexatious indolence, while another
will be willing to give her a certificate for
laudable attention to business. One lady
will find her cook slovenly and dirty ;
another will recommend her as a model of
cleanliness. One lady will cry “careless
nurse;’’ another, “careful nurse.’* One,
“worthless huzzyanother, “indispensable
help.’’ Thus the uncomplaining servant
becomes a woman or brute, a paragon or
heyden, clean or dirty, neat or slovenly,
henest or thievish, skilful of awkward,
capable or incapable, as the propensity of
the mistress may happen to run. This, is
no fancy picture. The servants themselves
are living witnesses to the truth. And
what does it prove 1 Simply this —that
there is emptiness in the general com
plaints of servant girls. That the defects
in the households which they are expected
to remedy, are more the faults of the
superior than the subordinate. The woman
(the lady, if you please) who allows her
charge to devolve upon the shoulders of
domestics, deserves to find confusion creep
ing into the kitchen and dining room.
The province of servant girls is to man the
ship, but the pilot, the mistress herself,
should never let go the helm. Just so soon
as she does, every'servant will become her
superior, and they will feel it and act upon
it, and will become untidy, careless, or
dishonest, in proportion to their degree of
irresponsibility. Bridget in her proper
place in the hands of Mr. A., will bo dutiful
and faithful and valuable servant; while
Bridget out of her proper place, and out
side of the authority of Mrs. 8., will be
vixenous and spiteful, domineering and
insolent, extravagant and careless, ineffi
cient and worthless. The fault is in the
governess more than in the subject

REPLY TO “CITIZEN"
! To the Editoi-ofthe Refntllican:
As your correspondent, “Citizen,” seems
anxious to have a full and minute account
of the assets of the Empire State Insurant#
Company, he will have this pleasure as
soon as the printers can publish the report
of the President and the proceedings of the
annual meeting of the stockholders. The
Constitutionalist did not have room in their
daily paper to give all the particulars of
this statement as presented to us at our
annual meeting, and therefore summed up
several of the items of Railroad bonds into
one, and so also of the State bonds; but
the report of the President, soon to be
published, contained a full account of
each ; even to the dividing of the Georgia
State bonds and the South Carolina Rail
road bonds into sixes and sevens, and
specifying which of the Railroad bonds
were first mortgaged, and which second;
which were guaranteed by the State of
South Carolina, and which by the State of
Georgia, and which of the State bonds
wore issued during the war and which not;
so that every one could know the exact
market value of all these securities. So
also the bills receivable were referred to in
the, report as notes given by the stock
holders for subscriptions to the capital
stock, and a history was furnished.of the
recent assessment on these notes, and of its
general payment bo the stockholders;
from which the President inferred that
these bills receivable were good, and were
now better than before, because a larger
percentage on them having now,been paid
up in cash, there wculd be less disposition
to refuse future assessments, when pru
dence or necessity might require them.
It will thus be perceived that no informa
tion asked for by your correspondent was
withheld from the stockholders, or will be
withheld from the public. The Constitution
alist distinctly state 1, in its account of the
proceedings of our annual meeting, that it
was publishing only extracts from the re
port of the President. So that every one
was informed where to look for full and
minute statements desired by your corres
pondent. ...
There is one item of information in this
communication of ‘‘Citizen” not referred to
in the report of the President, because it
was unknown when that report was pre
pared. This is, the recent advance of GO
per cent, in the price of the Greenville and
Columbia Railroad bonds guaranteed by
the State of South Carolina ; of these, your
eorrepondent says, the company holds
$62,765, and that they have risen recently
from twenty five to forty cents on the dollar.
The report only furnished the business of
the company down to the Ist of June, and
was probably prepared about the middle of
that month—when thirty or thirty two cents
was tho highest price for these bonds The
President having staled in his report that
at the market price’ of securities then cur
rent, the company was able to meet all its
liabilities, of every kind, and return to the
stockholders, dollar for dollar, all that they
had subscribed. This advance, reported by
your correspondent, is gratifying to the
stockholders and will be more assuring to -
the public-
The object ol your correspondent in ask
ing for further information about this Home
Company, organized in our midst, and having
a large number of stoekhoklt rs in Augusta,
and in other parts of the State, and having
for its directors and stockholders such es
teemed business then as H. 11. Hickntnn, E.
P. Clayton, Edward Thomas and General
Austell, is, doubtless, worthy of all com
mendation ; for it is right and proper that
every institution asking for public patronage,
whether located in Augusta or in New York,
whether keeping its premiums at home, or
sending them to the North, should be able
to show to any one, who is thinking of doing
business with it, that it deserves his con
fidence ; and we refer him to the forthcoming
report, being assured that it will give him all
the information he desires.

[From our own Correspondent
OUR ATLANTA. LETTER.
Atlanta, Ga., July 7, 1868.
Mr. Editor : In the Senate, to day, after
the usual preliminary routine of reading and
approviug the journal, etc., a protracted
debate sprung up on the proposition to
appoint a special committee to investigate
certain charges against Hon. A. A. Bradley,
Senator from the Ist Senatorial District.
As so much was said and written about Mr.
Bradley, in regard to these identical charges!
during the session of the late Constitutional
Convention, I forbear to give any of the
details of the proceedings in the case to day.
Suffice it to say, that the whole matter was
finally referred to a special committee con
sisting of Messrs. Nunnally, Higby, Camp
bell, Speer and Winn.
Nothing else of interest has taken place
in the Senate,
The House took up the unfinished busi
ness of yesterday, to wit: The election of a
door keeper. This was quite a spirited
contest, and was not decided till the fourth
vote, which resulted in the election of Mr.
Lineberger, of Lowndes county, the election
of whom, if not a Republican triumph, is
certainly not a Democratic victory. At the
outset of the contest, Mr. Jackson (colored),
was the choice of the Republicans, and Mr.
George W. Anderson, of the Democrats —
Mr. Lineberger occupying rather an equivo
cal position, and was voted for by a few
from each party. At the opening of this
morning’s session the Democrats concen
trated nearly their entire strength on Mr.
Anderson, and after tho withdrawal of Mr.
Jackson, the Republicans just spread them
selves for Mr. Lineberger, and the fact was
developed that on a straight outfight there
must certainly be a Republican majority in
the House of ten or twelve. This may seem
strange, but it is readily accounted for when.
it is recollected that the House is now nearly
full—four new Republican members appear
in their seats to day for the first time.
There are now but six or eight members
due, and when they come, should they all
be Democrats, which wo kntfw is not the
case, there will still be a small Republican
majority.
The feeling is becoming pretty general
that the Constitutional Amendment will be
adopted. lu fact, many Democrats will
vote for it.
I hear on the streets rumors that Hon.
J. E. Brown and Hon. Foster Blodgett will
be the Republican nominees for Senatorial
honors. Nothing in this regard is known
of the intentions of the opposition. Rumor
also hath it that Judge Warner will be
retained on the Supreme Bench.
Many distinguished strangers are in the
city. They are to be met at every hotel;
and I would take pleasure in speaking of
them by name, and may do so in future
letters, but 1 fear that to mention their
names would run this rambling letter to a
greater length than is my wont to do.
I had the pleasure of staying at the Na
tional Hotel for a few days, and words fail
me to tell of all the good things the brothers
Pond spread before their guests, who are
certainly the cZi/e, or a large portion of it,
now sojourning in this city.
The other hotels are also well kept, as is
evidenced by the fact that their rooms are
all filled, and their guests speak in high
t. rms of their fare and accommodations.
The bar-rooms and billiard saloons are
driving a smashing business. Trade gene,
rally seems dull. There is. however, a con
tinual rumble and rattle of drays, carts and
steam engines, from “rosy morn to dewy
eve,” and even far “in the stilly night’’ they
cease not their eternal clatter. More anon.

y... iEL
Georgia Legislature.
Atlanta, July B.—ln the Senate a
memorial was read concerning Winn (dem.)
and others holding seats contrary to the
spiiit of the Omnibus bill.
Candler moved to strike out the words
“ and others,” which was objected to by a
Republican, who said that the laws of
Congress forbid members from holding seats
unless their disabilities were removed, and
that it was his purpose to see the laws
enforced.
Candler offered a resolution which was an
onslaught on the eligibility of Republican
members.
This brought out Bradley, colored, who
was astonished that any member should
question the eligibility of members on account
of color, he cared not whether it emanated
from the brain of Joe Brown, Jeff. Davis, or
the spiritual brain of God himself.—
He quoted the second paragraph of the bill
of rights in support of his argument. He
was ready to purge the Senate of traitors
and felons, and reminded the Senate that
the first blow for freedom was struck by a
negro, and closed by saying that unless his
race were made a part and parcel of
the militia, that there would be another
rebellion which would exceed in magnitude
and be more successful than the last. Ad
journed.
In the House the Committee appointed to
wait on the Governor, reported that.he
would communicate with both Houses as
soon as he had a conference with Gen. Meade.
An impression prevails that a great effort
is about to be made to oust a number of
Democratic members from both Houses.

Louisiana Legislature,
New Orleans, July B—The Legisla
ture, to day, after some unimportant business,
went into a joint session, and elected Wtn.
P. Kellogg to the United States Senate for
the long term, and John 8. Harris for the
short term.
A Committee of Democratic members,
from both Houses, presented a communica
tion to Gen. Buchanan, reciting that the
presiding officers of both Houses had pro
ceeded, in violation of the State Constitution,
and the instructions of the General of the
Army and of the General Commanding the
Department, in excluding members entitled
to seats. The document appeals to the people
of Louisiana for redresi, and asks the Mili
tary Commander, by virtue of his authority,
to place said excluded members in their
seats.
Gen. Buchanan replies, that while, in his
opinion, these proceedings are illegal, unjust
and oppressive, and known to be in opposi
tion to the will of the General-in-Cmef, yet
he deems that the interests of law and order,
and of tbo people of the State, in this crisis,
will not be best subserved by a forcible
interference to correct the aouses complained
of. He says that he will forward their com
munication, with a copy of this letter, to
General Grant, and to the Chairman of the
Reconstruction Committee.
North Carolina-
CuAiu.ESToH, July B.—General Canby baa

Caucusing and electionerring for United

It is rumored that the friends of General
Abott, of New Hampshire, and John Pool,
of Pasquotank, have formed a strong com

if successful, would deprive the West of a
