The Supremo Court has end< irsort Ok* Relief
Laws llironghont in all their rotro-nctivo fea
tures—tin* homestead bill ditto, and declares
notes given for slave property and hire worth-
leas. So rani'll wo kam from a paragraph ooy
pied elaowhere from (he Atlanta Constitution.
Wo will reprint these, decisions when they come
to hand.
Ono can only laugh at legal remedies for the
collection of debts in Georgia. The man who,
in the face of the action of this State for tho
last eight or nine years, gives credit npon any
other basis than personal character, will stand
very ranch in his own way, and deserves to
lose.
It is true, we shall he told we have nowtonched
bottom. We have got through with legislative
repudiation, and horeaftor legal rights and re
medies will remain undisturbed. Dear reader,
this precise language has been used over sinco
tho writer was old enongli to ho interested in
snch matters: and it is a solemn fact that in the
last thirty years rpcnl in Florida and Georgia,
there has been bnt a very small part of tho time
in which tho operation of tho laws for tho col
lection of debts lias not been under arrest and
suspension.
Tho moment they becomo needful thoy are
declared inoperative. In flash times, when
money is easily obtained they remain a little
while undisturbed, lint every pinch has been
“a crisis." calling for logislativo interposition
which strips the creditor of every defence. Tho
operation of theso laws, therefore, has been
highly demoralizing. Theyhavopractically given
legislative sanction to fraud, evasion and trick
ery, and rowardod the defanlt of debtors with
legal exemption from payment.
Now, if, hereafter forever, it could bo under
stood by all concerned that no well-grounded con
fidence could bo reposed in onr laws for tho collec
tion of debt—that every timo they wero wanted,
like paddy’« pig, they wonld turn up missing,
the trade of tho country would conform to tho
situation and the best results would follow. He
alono would get credit who deserves it, Tho
prudent, conscientious man—tho man who in
tho langnago of Holy Writ,” swearcth to his own
hnrt nud changelh not”—tho man who prefers
to suffer wrong Ilian to do wrong.
All men desirous of obtaining credit wonld
bo extremely punctilious in tho fulfilment of
their obligations. Thoy would dread a report
that they had failed to fulfil a pecuniary engage
ment almost ns mneh as that they had com
mitted a fraud. AH dobts wonld becomo debts
of honor, and every man would consider his re
putation and prosperity involvod in their
prompt discliargo.
Tims a healthy fooling and a right spirit wonld
lie infused in trado, and by tho nttor extinction
of gonerai and promisenons credits, debtors
would bo tho belter nblo tocomply with all their
engagements. In this way, if tho people nro
wise, thoy mny bring good ont of eviL Lot
them understand that it makes no difference
whether (ho man who socks credit can or cam
not boast of his real estate—his houses, lands
and stocks^ if ho lias not within his breast n
heart that responds frooly to all tho sentiments
of honor and jnslico—a heart that conld actual
ly prefersclf-itijitry rather than that nn innocent
mill lionost noighbor should suffer by reposing
confidence in his ability anil integrity, ho is no
fit snhject for credit. If ho needs tho interven
tion of courts, lawyors and sheriffs to drive him
into compliance with liis plain obligations, then
tho only way to deal with him is tho strictly
cash principle.
The Colton Crop of IS(!!).
Tho New York Tribnno of tho l'.Uh says:
Tho cotton crop of 1869 U so woll advanced
that we may safely estimate it at threo million
hales—half a million more than last year. Sup
posing that it nots tho planters 25 cents per
ponnd(greenbncks,) it will bring them ijslOO.OOO,-
000 ; which is moro thnn thoy received for tho
largest crop over grown. Formerly they would
liavo received less than $200,000,000 for sucli
a crop, rind would hffvo owed moro than half of
it to their merchants or factors for advances,
nnd a still larger shnro to tho nogro-traders for
fleld-liands; so that, when marketed nnd settled
for, they wonld have still been heavily in dobt.
Now, they owe less thnn half thoy will receive
to their laborers, who will spend tho money at
home, instead of sending it off North to pay for
dead horse.
Wo liavo often heard that tho Sonth would
never again grow a full crop of Cotton ; bnt wo
think differently. If wo do not prodneo five
million bales within ten years from tho over
throw of tho rebellion, it will lio because tho
planters can do better growing sugar, rico, to
bacco, etc., than by pushing np tho cotton sup
ply to a maximum, and thereby running down
tho price. Tho Sonth never did n better busi
ness than she bids fair to do this year.
And nn editorial wo copy to-day from tho
Charleston News makes tlio sniuo estimate
Last July wo pleased ourselves with the antici
pation that tho crop of 1669 would mount very
nearly np to threo millions of bales if it did
not roach that figure ; but sinco that time Geor
gia alone has been ent down fifty to a hnndred
thousand hales by drought, caterpillar and rust,
and wo nro full iu tho faith that tho crop will
not exceed twenty-five hundrod thousand ball
The Cotton Supply.
1 r, : h r .Vi ir York Tribunt of lilt 20TA.1
A geographical fact of the greatest import
ance lies at the foundation of alt just views on
tho question of the cotton supply. England be
lieves that deeper plowing, selector seed, more
diligent cnlture, nicer picking and marketing,
will enable her to offset our South with India.’
As to quantities, this may be ; as to quality of
staple, never: and this is the reason :
Cotton, as to the size of the plant and the
•nnmbor of pods it holds, depends npon richness
of soil and solar heat. These England finds in
sufficient perfection in the valley of the Ganges
and on the table-lands of Deccan. Rut as to
the color and the oiliness of the seed, the fineness
and length of its silken filaments, cotton varies
in quality according to the mildness and yren-
ness of the autumnal climate. Different re
gions in our sunny cotton belt differ in
this respect, bnt tho contrast is a mild one,
and wo have a great advantage over the
whole of the East Indian Peninsula. After
July our Southern climate is, for the most
psrt rninod till late in tho fall. This is
caused by the high lauds, which commence
from one to two hundred miles from the sea
side, where tho best cotton gTows. Clonds
loaded with moisture from the Gulf, and tho
ocean off Florida are wafted northward, but do
not discharge their contents till they reach the
cool wooded slopes of tho Cumberland and Alle
ghany Mountains. This circumstance gives
America her unequalled advantages as a produ
cer of long cottons. In India there is a small
district where tho conditions are somewhat Sm-
ilar, and rain-clouds in tho picking season are
attracted northward across the lower portion of
the Ganges Yalley to expend their waters npon
the frigid slopes of the range that parts India
from Tibet Dacca is the central city of
this region, and Dacca lawns have a romantic
fame liko that of Damascus blades. A study
of tho geographical conditions in India, as
etched on any good map, will show how lim
ited is tho area to which England mnst be
confined in her endeavor to grow such cottons
as her finest looms demand. Vigilant anil
grasping ns ever, she lias of late
been moving to secure that hereditary pet of
all her policies a monopoly. She proposes to
do it by activo and potent stimulants applied
to cotton culture in tho Ganges Valley, and
the transporting facilities of that country. In
Lancashire, tho great seat of the cotton indus
try of the Kingdom, there is at present no
moro cotton than will keep tho mills going fivo
days ont of six, and there is a continual
strugglo among the manufacturers to obtain
the cotton necessary to prevent a stoppage of
tho mills. Sad effects are showing themselves
in the rapidly growing number of operatives
thrown out of employment, nnd in tho increase
of pauperism. At a meeting just held in Lon
don of representatives of tho cotton industry
of the North of England, and of members of
Faiiiameut whoso constituences aro interested
in’ that industry, the conviction was gcneraUy
expressed by the speakem that Lancashire will
have to look elsewhere than to this country, see
ing that tho Americans are using their cotton
moro and moro largely tlnAmsclves, and wiU con
sequently bo ablo to spare less and less of it ev
ery year. As to other fields of cotton supply,
Egypt and Turkey, it was said, could not bo re
lied upon, and the South American States, in
cluding Brazil, had disappointed expectation.
India, therefore, appeared to bo tho solo quar
ter to which British manufacturers could look
for succor.
Resolutions woro passed earnestly recom
mending tho government to establish Boards of
Agriculture in each Presidency of India, with a
view to tho introduciton of improved methods
of cultivation (including plows and other imple
ments,) tho proper seeds and tho uso of fertil
izers ; and also expressing tho hopo that tho
government will see tho necessity of expending
not less than fifty millions of dollars a year in
extending tho railway system of India, and
meeting tho requirements necessary for tho ag-
cnltural development of tho country. Tho ques
tion of labor was not lost sight of, and it was
remarked by ono of tho speakers that, even
with a largo importation of Chinese, the South
ern States of America conld not get labor for
cotton-growing nt ns low a rate as it conld bo
had in Indio.
In another colnran onr readers find a fall de
scription of tbo cotton interest in British India.
A careful perusal of this paper with a good map
will enable nny ono to form as sound an opinion
as Lancashire or tho London Times can givo of
the likelihood of onr losing an English market,
nnd nn eager English market, for onr lwst up
lands. The movement is n pressure from tho
ghastly array of British pauperism npon meteor
ological facts that will bo romoved when the Al
leghenies aro emptied into tho Gulf stream.
That samo prossnro of British panporism it is
that regularly pushes soft-headed legislators
among ns into low tariffs anil all tbo flonn-
dorings of tho Anti-Protectionists. A Vo aro
glad to see London flinging her doubloons
against tho eternal slopes of tho Himalayas.
That is their way of talking Free Trado
and practicing Protection. Still, it is prop
er to thank Lancashire for tho lesson her
vigilance affords, and wo shonid bettor tho in
struction. A million hungry faces are turned
to her imploringly, nnd bogging of her mighty
combiners, whothcr merchants or ministers, to
oxploro tho hast tropical vaUoy that roasts under
a torrid sky before they giro np tho hopo of
keeping every spindlo whirling. Wo havo moro
coal than she, moro waterfalls, moro food, moro
acres suited to tho growth of first-class cotton

From South Carolina.
Charleston, August 23.—Tho drought continues,
with showers in somo sections. Tho com crop will
bo light, and South Carolina must buy large supplies
next winter ami spring. Tho hot weather and « Rpnilv fftP tllP GrPllt Fair ’
drought havo canaed tho cotton to nut and shed in Utility lUr UIL U TV ill rdir .
some of tho middle counties, but tho crop still
looks well over most of tho State. Picking has be
gun, and tho staplo is opening rapidly. Receipts
for tbo next month promise to be good. Tho sea
island crop looks very fine, but there aro reports of
tho caterpillar.
Eiiu.v Receitts.—Fourteen bales of now cot
ton wero received in Macon yesterday. Tho
very disasters which are cutting the crop short
are of course precipitating its maturity. The
dry weather—tho scorching sun—tho rust,
which is denuding tho plant cf leaves—are all
combining to open tho bolls rapidly, and the
high price is bringing it in as fast as it can be
packed. We are sqrry that so pleasant a story
as tho cotton crop of 1 Si', 1) should be cut off in

The Sew Cotton Crop—Fine I’rospeft
lor tlie Sonth.
A few hales, nnd tho first of tho now cotton
crop, havo como to tho New York market.
That from Georgia, classed as low middling, was
sold nt anction for thirty-six cents a ponnd; nnd
that from Alabama, classod ns strict middling,
bronght forty-eight and a half cents. These, it
is true, may bo termed rather fancy prices, as
tho first bale or two of tho new cotton crop al
ways brings moro than those that como after.
Rut it is an indication of what tho prieo will
bo hereafter. Wo may concludo, therefore, that
the crop of 1 SCO will realize nn immense sum
of money. This crop is variously estimated—
between two miUions and a half bales to three
millions—probably it mny reach two millions
seven hnndred or two millions eight hundred
thousand bales. If the averago prico through
out the season of sales should not exceed twenty-
five cents a ponnd — though from present
appearances it will be higher than that—
the crop will bo worth over two hundred mil
lions of dollars. From all tho light before us
thoro is reason to believe it will bring nearly
that sum in gold. This production, too, is in
addition to the tobacco, sugar and other Traina
ble crops of the Sonth for exportation. Be
sides, that section of the country sinco the war
has paid more attention to tho raising of grain,
com and other articles of food, and is now, per
haps, independent, or nearly so, of outside sup
plies. In short, the Sonth this year wi^have a
surplus production to bo sold for cash over hnd
above tho production of necessities worth, at
least, two hundred millions of dollars. Who
will not say the South is becoming rich again ?
Wo must admire tho wonderful recuperative
power of the peoplo there and congratulate them
on tho splendid prospect they have of material
prosperity. With more labor and capital to de
velop their resources tho Southern States will bo-
como very soon the richest country on the globe.

Whereas. It appears upon a careful examination of
tho testimony adduced upon said trial, that the crime
committed by the prisoner, is, that he crawled nnder
a store, then occupied by ono Ned Hill, a person of
color, about 8 o'clock at night, partially raised a plank
from the floor thereof, the samo not being nailed
down or otherwise fastened, but loose and easily
moved, and at tho time of discovery, “was in the act
of reaching with bis hand to take some candy from a
jar,” said to contain two pounds and valued at the
sum of one dollar in currency; and
Whereas, It is not stated in, nor proven by the tes
timony aforesaid, that he, tho said Jim Jones, did
break said store, or steal, or take therefrom anything
or things of value; and
Whereas, Tho prisoner has served ont more than
one year of the sentence aforesaid, and tho punish
ment already inflicted is moro than commensurate
with tho crime committed: and the sentence of im
prisonment for life being manifestly unjust;
Now, therefore, in consideration of tho facts and
circumstances aforesaid, and tho finding of tho jury
being inconsistent with tho evidence elicited at tho
trial, and to the end that justice may be done, I, Rufus
B. Bullock, Governor and Commander-in Chief of
the Army and Navy of this State, and of the Militia
thereof, by virtue of the power and authority in me
vested by the Constitution and laws of this State, do
hereby fully and freely pardon the said Jim Jones of
the crime of which he stands convicted, as heretofore
recited, restore him to his civil rights as a citizen of
this State, and order that he bo forthwith discharged
and set at liberty.
Given under my hand and the Seal of the Executive
Department, at the Capitol, in Atlanta, the day
and year first above written.
