Anr.ua! Report.
Under j our wise direction snd judicious manage

!»■ liberal provisions, all the children of this city,
baa been Inaugurated under circumstances meat aus
picious.
The suddenness and completeness of the change
from the voluntary schools of the past year
the public schools of the p-esent. Is,
l« unprecedented in the history of the public school
movement in this country. Last year there were in
the dty thirty five or forty t-hools for white chl dren,
in which were Uught, as nearly sa can be ascertained,
about 1,200 sch olar*. Tne schools were all, more or less
ungraded and with the exception of four or fire of the
larger schools, were unprovided with soluble rooms,
furniture and other requisites foresoeestfol taacnlcg.
There was no supenriilon, no pcrmar.ancy in the
charset* r of the ashoals, and nothing In this cute of
affairs to lnvpra teachers with either a desl/e for im
provement or a love for thdr profession.
Titern private schools were continued to the c!o*e of
the year. After an interval of one month
they are superceded by the public schools, which were
o »eced during tne month of February last, and in
ich have si: ce been taught nearly a l the children
of school sge in the city. There are at present nine
public schools, vlx: twob'gh schools, five grammar
-ctoolr for white-children, and two grammar schools
for colored children.
Number enrolled in white sehools 2,075
** In colored schools 7B7
dren educated last year In the private schools, ccst
the city a larger sum than the Instruction of the 2,815
in the Public School- during the present year.

In the one case those who were directly benefited
by the education of their children, paid the $48,000,
but less than half the children of the city were receiv
ing an education—the greater number growing up in
Ignorance. Ia the other case the cost of education is
equally distributed among the entire community, and
all the children of the dty are receiving a good educa
tion.
The consideration that the cost of the schools is
thus made apparent ia a visible tax of forty or fifty
thousand dollars, fe more than counterbalanced by the
fact that wi.h the same amount of money we rre giv
ing a superior education to more than twice as many
of the children of cor city.

Tki**j schools are all graded, so that scholars of ihe
same degree of advincemeot are placed in the same
class; the buildings area!! soluble, (three of the houses
are new. ) and provided with convenient furniture; the
scholar! are 'equally apportioned to tht teachers
and the teachrra asaigned.to places where tfceir abilt
ties will render their services most profl able; a
graduated aud systematic course of study is pre
scribed. and scholars are promoted from one grade to
another on test examinations; and, finally, the
fchoola are under the supervision cf a Board of Edu-
itloo appointed by the City Council.
This change io the educational policy of our dty
will give a uew impulse to iU growth and prosperity.
Toe successful establishment of Public Schools prom-
ism the most favorable results in the future, and
be regarded by all our inteillgcnt citizens as a

I entered upon the duller of my office as Superin
tendent on the 15th of November last, and at thereg*
ular meeting or the Bonn In that month I was also
elected Srcr -tarjiof the BosrJ. Under the direction
of the Committee on Rules, I prepated the rales for
the government of the schools, which, together with
the rules for the government of the Board, the various
acts and ordinances under whies the school* were or
ganized, and a brief historical sketch of the Tublic
School movement, were primed and Issued in pamph
let form iu January.
At the meeting in Novemb r the Board determined
to establish three Grammar and two High Schools,
aud the Board of fix*miners wers instructed
to hold an examination of all applicants for the posi
tion *.f teacher in the Public Schools. This examins
tion was held on Tuesday and Wednesday, 6 b and 7 th
Deceaber.
Eighty-three applicants were examined— sixty-six
ladle* and seventeen gentlemen. Of the twenty-three
ladlea and six geniletnen ware elected. The examina
tion occupied two days, and was conducted wholly by
writing. Printed questions, on the following sub
jects ware answered by applicants for the p see of
assistant teacher in the Grammar Schools; grammar,
arithmetic, geography, readirg, spelling, writing, and
the theory and practice of teaching. In addition to
thi-se subjects, applicants for the High Schools
and principals of Grammar Schools were examined
in Latin, a gehra and ueoraetry.
The number of questions differed with the severs 1
subjects, varying from five 10 ten. The percentage of
correct answers ranged from 88, tho highest, to 33 per
cent, the lowest.
NOftWAL CVSTITUTK.
A Teaclirra’ Institute was held in the rooms since
occupied hr the Girls’ High School, commenting on
Monday, January 8th, and contincing every day dur
ing the week. The morning sessions were devoted
chiefly to the methods and principles of education,
with direct Instruction by able teacher* in grammar,
arithmetic, algebra, and reading- the members of the
Institute for the time becoming learners. Interesting
lectures on drawing, made, school discipline, object,
lessons, and other subjects abided to the interest aud
profit of the occasion. During the evenings, lectures
and addresses were delivered by tbe foilowirg distin-
shed pvnUeracn: Dr. A. A. Lipscomb,Chsacdler
of the University of Georgia, David Wills, D. D.,
President of Oglethorpe College of this city. Professor
L F. Langford, of Mercer University, Hon. G. J. Otr,
State School Commissioner, aud Professor W. LeKoy
Broun, of Athens. Tbe Institute closed with a social
reunion of the teacher* and their friends at Concords
Hall on Friday evening.
This was the first Teachers* Institute ever held In
Georgia, and was regarded by those wh > attended it
as a great success. There were shout fifty teachers In
regular attendance, besides a large number of visitors
who were present every day to witness the exercises.
RCGISTRATIOX.
The week following the Normal Institute, in ac
cordance with previous public announcement, was
devoted to the registration and classification of the
children who desired admission to the Public Schools.
The number applying, however, was so far beyond
expectat on that two weeks were required for their
examination and registration, aud tbe work closed
with a list of 2.561 applicants.
Tba two High Schools and the three Grammar
Schools contemplated would accommodate only
about one thousand five - hut dred scholars.
It became necessary, therefore. Id order to pro
vide for this Increased number, to rent other
buildings. Houses were found, which, although not
altogether suitabblc, would serve temporarily, until
new bou*e* could be built—one corner of Luckie and
Spring stream, and on 5 c-wner of Decalur and Pratt
etrects, where are located the Luckie Street and De
catur Street Schools
INAUGURATION.
The schools were inaugurated with suitable public
exercises on Tuesday. January 30th, at the Ivy street
school building. Addresses were delivered by Chan-
celler Lipscomb, Rev. A.T. Spalding, D. D., Dr. 8. H.
Stout, Hon. O. J. Orr, Hon. J. U. James, Mayor of
the city, Hon. H. K. JfcCay of the Supreme Court,
and Hon. Joseph E. Brown, President of the Board of
Education.
The school* were opened as follow*;
Ivy street school, Wedneslay, Jcnuvy 31; Boys’
High School, Thursday, F*bru*ry 1; Girls’ High
School, Monday, F.b: nary 5; Crew street school.
Wednesday, February 14; Walker street school,
Wedn sday, February 21 ; Decatur street school,
Tuesday, February 27; Luckie street school, Thurs
day. February 29.
The schools were continuously in session, with ex
ception of a vacation of one week in May, until their
clo*c in accordance with tbs rules, on the last Friday
June.
COLOXXD SCHOOUI.
On the firs’ of February the Board assumed charge
of two colored sc-oo’s, hitherto supported chiefly by
and under the control of Northern Missionary Socie
ties—the Storr’s School, located, on Houston street,
and the Summer Hill School, iu the Southeastern
part of the city. The terms of agreement between
tbe Missionary Societies and the Board of Education
that the buildings w rc to be given to the Board
of Education free of rent. The Board were to have
the appointment of the teachers and the entire sup
port and control of the school*. They were to psy
the salaries of the teachers, superintend the
study and instruction, and provide for these schools
for the schools for white children. Sub
sequently, however, a difference arising between the
Board and the American Missionary Association in
their understanding of the agreement relative to th*
appointment of teachers to the Storr’s SchocL
an agreement was made for the present year by
which the nomination of teachers is given to the As
sod at Ion.

COST OF TUX SCHOOL*.
The two letding con«idcrations in justification of
the Public Schools, are first, the superior efficiency o'
the echo* Is; and secondly, their greater economy.
That a better oiueation can be given in inch schools
than i* usually attained in unclassified private schools,
would be apparent to any intelligent person who un
derstood their organ*!at!ou, even without seeing
hem in actual operation. In the Public Schools the
teaching ptwer is rconomiv'd not only by the
and complete class fixation of the pupils, enabling
cher to eucceesfn ly Instruct a larger
her of scholars, bat also hj the assignment of
teachers to tbe work for which they are best fitted
a s'mple’e and we!I-ba’anc< d course of instrcction.
including all the stndies of the Primary, Grammar
acd High Schools, is prescribed, so thvt ever
scholar receives a good, substantial, symmetrical edu
cation. parsing tlroagh the coarse from one grade to
•mother as rapld'y aa his abilities whl permit; acd
finally, all the work in the schools, both of inttrnc-
tIon aud discipline, is under the supervision and guid
ance of teachers of largs experience.
We may therefore remsorably hope th it the expe
rience of a ysar or two under onr present sytem, will
demonstrate to any who may still be doubtful of their
success, the superior advantages of Public Schools.
The grea’er economy of Public Schools is perhaps
best shown by a comparison of the cost of ics*:
tion under the private school system and under tbe
pr. sent plan. The cost of instruction in the private
schools of this city daring the last year waa from
thiee to six d< liars per month—averaging all- art four
dollars p i r month. This would make the coat per
schoLr forty dollars per annum.

The tea- hers have, with vary few exceptions, been
regular and punctual In their attendance, and faithftl
the performance of .their duties. Many of them are
teachers of experience and skill, while the younger of
them supply by energy and enthusiasm what they
may lack in experience. The relations between
the teachers and'Superintendent have been most
pleasant and satisfactory.
NOKHAL CLASS.
The weekly meeting of the teachers on Saturday
morning,in normal class,as it is technically called,have
been kept up without Interruption slice the opening
of the schools, and have been well attended by the
teachers.
The object of tbe normtl class is to give the teach
ers better preparation for their work. AH the subjects
Uught in oar tchoolsare here presented and discussed
with special reference to the best methods of teach
leg them; questions relating to the best management
the schools, their discipline, regulations,
Ac., are also discussed ; essays are read
teachers on these and other
educational topic*; and lectures are delivered by the
Superintendent, by members of .the Board of Educa
tion, and by others interested in the schools.
By means of these discussions, criticisms and exer
cises, the crude views and faulty methods of inexpe
rienced and unskilful teachers are gradually elimi
nated, and all are induced to wozk on soand princi
ples and rational methods.
The teachers bare generally been regular in their
attendance, aud have appeared to appreciate the ad
vantages of the Normal class.
• A NEW GRAMMAR SCHOOL NEEDED.
Another Grammar School house is inperativdy
needed. The Luckie Street house, beside* .being in
adequate to accommodate all the children of that por
tion of the diy. Is wholly unsuitable for the neceaei-
ties and purposes of a permanent school. It is im
possible to make the children comfortable during the
coldest part of tbe winter, aud daring storms the rain
beats in on all sides. The rooms arc too email, aud
have generally a dilapidated, nnrigbtly appearance
When the house was obtained and put in order for
school, it was supposed that we should want it only
about six months. If it is necessary that we shall
continue to use it during another school year, impor
tant r(paira should at once be made, and suitable
olackbuarda and other conveniences should be pro
vided.
HIGH SCHOOLS.
Whilst there are comparatively few who question
the propriety and the success of the Public Schools to
the extent of providing a common elementary educa
tion tor all, there la a number quite considerable, of
who think that this common education pro
vided at the public expense,9hould not extend beyond
the studies of the grmmmcr school. They would leave
tbe b>gher education to private schools, and to be ob
tain^ by those only who are able to pay for It.

practical effect of leaving the
higher education of our you h to volun
tary schools would be that only the children
0/ the wealthy would have the opportunity of re

to the children of the wealthy; these gins are pretty

Another result would be that instead of

would be withhdrawn from these schools whenever
they should meet with any trouble or discouragement,
and be tent to tbe private schools. Of course the
parents of such children, together with all the in

the Public hchoola. since they would be taxed for

Seasonable Suggestions.—The heavy
mists and cold night dews which character
ize the present season are very trying to del
icate organizations, and in low-lying and
swampy localities they produce an enormous
crop of intermittent fevers of various types
and degrees of intensity. At this very time
there are probably half a million of people
in the United States suffering from periodical
fevers by myasmatic fogs and exhalations.
What makes the prevalence of this evil the
more deplorable is the fact that it might in
all cases be easily prevented. Malaria and
damp produce little or no effect upon the
system pro-fortified by a course of Hostctter’s
Stomach Bitters. Every fall and spring hun
dreds of letters are received from persons re
siding in fever and ague districts, who state
that while their neighbors are incapacitated
for labor by that debilitating disease, they
have been happily exempted from attack by
the regular uso cf the great vegetable anti
dote to miasma. As a chlologopic or specific
for intermittent aud remittent fevers the Bit
ters may I e justly accounted iufallible. They
eradicate the complaints in their most obsti
nate forms; but the wiser course is to fore
stall attack by the regular use of the great
vegetable antidote to miasma. As a chlolo
gopic or specific for intermittent and remit
tent fevers the Bitters may be justly account
ed infallible. They eradicate the complaints
in their most obstinate forms; but the wiser
course ia to forestall attack by taking the
preparation as a preventive. The amount of
productive labor withdrawn from active ser
vice during several.months in the year by ma
larious maladies is immense, and the pecun
iary losses to individuals, families, and the
nation from this cause is incalculable. Bear
iu mind that by toning and regulating the
system with Hostetler’s Bitters before the
calamity comes, it may always be escaped;
and let it also l>e remembered that indiges
tion, general debility, biliousness, constipa
tion, nervous complaints, aud indeed almost
all disturbances and derangements of the
physical system arecontrolableby this genial

The receipts this week are 122,000 bales—
26,000 more than last year, and 16,000 more
than two years since. It is likely the receipts
for next week will be about 120,000 bales
compared with 105,000 last year, and 182,000
the year before; and the receipts at the inte
rior towns 40.00J bales, compared with85,000
last year, and 41,000 the year before.
This week the weather has been dear and
pleasant five days, and partially doudy,
windy anl cool for two days, with a light
rain one night, and a heavy, white frost one
night. The week generally has been much
the coolest of the season, the thermometer
averaging 63 degrees at noon. The indica
tions are we shall have a heavy killing frost
throughout the cotton growing region within
two weeks. As we write there is a cold,
light rain failing.
Our readers will remember these articles
are written for the cotton week, dosing Fri
day night and beginning again Saturday
morning.
The market in New Y*rk was active and
h’eher for the first four days of the week,
with sales of 14,000 bales. The last two days
have been smaller sales, (only 4,000 bales)
and prices wejk and drooping; closing at
the same price as last Friday—19fc. This
fluctuating market has been due to a corner
in October contracts, caused by a large bear
interest, and a small stock of available cot
ton in New York, added to which there has
been one cent decline in gold—that article
closing at 11| premium. As the price has
been forced np at an unnatural time of the
year, there will now be a strong pressure to
force it down again, many persons expecting
a decline of at least one cent a pound. We
see no reason for this, and do not think the
price will go below 19fr at this time. The
fast half cent rise was an unnatural one, and
we do not expect any serious decline now,
with a small quantity of American cotton
everywhere, and Manchester higher and firm
for yarns and fabrics. In this connrction we
would add, that although there have been
complaints from Manchester of dull trade
and no profit, caused, principally, by the high
price of coal and higher prices paid to ope
ratives, (these two items alone adding to the
cist of manufacturing f of a pound,) still
the sales and exports of goods from
Great Britain, so f*r this year, have
been 2 percent on cloth and 5 per cent on
yarns over the very large sales of 1871, when
cotton and good* were very much cheaper
than this year. The cxjtort of yarns for Sep
tember was 2J percent in«*re than the same
month last year, and much of the surplus
stock which has been weighing down that
market has beun sold
Liverpool has l»t*en active wilh large sales
and a rise of onc-fonrth of a penny. This is
due to the facts stale 1 above—to the active
market on this side, and lathe small stock of
all kinds in Liverpool, -particularly Ameri
can, of which there arc only 36.000 bales,
one-half of which is unfit for spinning pur
poses.
We have estimated the receipts for next
week at less than the total this week, because

Why wc Should. Vote for Greeley.
Ex-Senator Hunter goes from Virginia to
New York to say with that direct manly
candor which no one has ever ventured to
impugn:
“Fellow-citizens, to give you my reasons
for supporting Greeley in a few words, I de
clare to yon in the first place: That I desire
to sow the seeds of sympathy and affection
among all our people, that the tie of citizen
ship may become a common bond and mu
tual support to all its members. For that
reason among other reasons 1 vote for Hor
ace Greeley, as he is the leader of this great
movement. Secondly, I desire to cultivate
hftmony, just feeling, and affection among
the different races in the Southern States, be
cause they are essential to the prosperity and
happiness of the whole—a matter in which
we in the South have much deeper interest
than can exist elsewhere, for our success and
happiness in a very great measure depend
upon it For this reason I support Horace
Greeley, because I believe that he will do
what he can to prmlnce this harmony of feel
ing.”

COURSE OF 9TCDT..
The enurteof instrartion a* adopted by the Board,
and which is appended to this report, has been found
in the *»-air. satisfactory. Ia the Grammar Schools it
is proposed to srive a good elementary education. In
order to receive a diploma of graduation in the
Grammar Schools, the scholar is expected to be ahle
read, speak and write our language with correct-
cess and facility, and to have mastered the following
subjec:* as found in our textbooks: arithmetic,
grammar geography, elementary physics, history of
the United States aud of England, elementary draw
ing, and tbe reading of simple music.
The course embraces eight years.*so that the ordinary
scholar enters the school at six years of age sad
commences to learn the alphabet, and completes tbe
coarse at fourteen. Exceptionally bright scholars
wi<l gain a year and graduate at thirteen; while
*r»me whore minds develop more slowly will remain
nntil thev are flf ? een or sixteen.
~ -bool the course is, in Mathe
matics. Algebra, Geometry and Arithmetic reviewed;
in Language, Larin, (usual preparatory coarse.) Greek,
(optional, and taken by those onlv who go to college.)
«nd G- rman: in Science, Physical Geography, Nat
ure’. Phi'osoyhv.IChemistry and Astronomy: in Eng
lish. Rhetoric, C- mposition and English Grammar
retrieved.
In the Girls’ High School tie course is similar
to that in tbe Boys’ School, except that Greek la
wholly emitted and French added.—a choice being
S ven to ;he scholars between French and German.
!*o the coarse is considerably extended in the di
rection of Ecglith Literature and literary criticism.

ly receipts for the year, and the fall in the
nice and less active markets. Last year the
ncrease for next week was 9,000 bales, and
the year before 26,000. We think Galveston
and Norfolk have about reached their maxi
mum weekly receipts—12,000 and 15,000—
because in the past five years Galveston’s
largest weekly receipts were 12,000 bales
December 16th, 1870, and Norfolk’s larges*
weekly receipts for same time were 15,000
bales, December 2d, 1870, and the largest
weekly receipts at that port last year were
13.000, October 27th.
The stocks of cotton in Liverpool and
afloat for that port, are very much smaller
than they have been for the past four year*,
at same time, as the following statement will
show, given in thousands:
1868. 1869, 1879. 187*. 1672.

Total.... 804.000 739 000 711,903 883,100 671,900
The amount afloat is usually all received
in five to six weeks; in 1853 the time was
seven weeks; in 1869, six weeks; in 1870
and in 1871, five weeks; we now estimate
the amount afloat will be received in five
weeks; and as it is likely the takings* from
Liverpool for spinning and export mil be
75.000 per week, for same time, they will
have but 390,000 bales for total stock De
cember 6th, compared with 445,000 last year,
and 370,000,339,000 and 350,000 for the three
previous years.
The American cotton in Liverpool and
afloat for that port for the past four years,
same time, is as follows:
, 1870. 1871. 1872.
Stocks .. 48,000 Sl.fOO 64 000 117,000 36.000

Total.... 83,000 99,000 148.000 18L000 91,000
and the lowest point to which the stock has
ever been reduced is 41.000 for last year, and
38.000. 19.000, and 40,000 for the three pre
vious years.
The receipts this year, so far, show nearly
200.000 bales more than auy year since the
war, for same time; and still the quantity oc
American in sight is much less than the past
two years, same time. Oar readers will
please understand that all our figures mean

As we are now at tbe end of two months
we will revise our estimate of receipts.
"We agtin compare with 18C9; as the re
ccipts that year were the largest per cent of
any since the war. being up to ami including
November 1st, 480,000 bales; which was 16
per cent of the total receipt at the ports. This
year the receipts have been G 15,000 bales, for
the same time. Taking tbe receipts as abasia
it makes this crop 4,185,‘•00 bales. Taking
the per cent as a basis it ranke3 this crop 4.-
031.000 to be received nt the port; to which
must be added for overland and Southern
consumption, 250,000 more; making total
crop 4,281,000. But ns these figures are much
too lanje, we suppose there has been 19 oer
cent of the crop received up to and including
November 1st, making total crop 3,650.000
bales; which is our prceent estimate. Our
own spinners are taking much larger amount
than ever before; having taken f*»r two months
150.000 bales, compared with 103.000, 114,000
131.000 and 109,000 for the past four years
same time. Tbe exports to foregin countries
for two months are 245,000 compared with
183.000. 242.000 and 2U7.000 for the past three
years same time.
The exports to the continent are very large
this year, being to this date 94,00% compared
with 17,000,20,000, and 89,000 for the past
three years, same time. This shows they are
nearly hare of American cotton, and are wil
ling to buy at present prices. The stock at
Havre is now 233,000 bales, only 25,000 of
which is American; la*t year the stock was
120.000. 55.000 of which was American Our
last London letter states that it is not likely
the rate of interest will be raised again this
year; and if it should be reduced it would be
much easier to carry large stocks of cotton
than it is at tbe present time. As to the
price, we think it dangerous to be short of
cotton just now ; even if the market should
decline, the profit will not pay for the risk.

At 11:31 yesterday morning Mr. Bergh, ac
companied by Superintendent Hortficld. Mr.
Keans, and other members <-f bis staff sta
tioned himself on the Third avenue track at
Fiflk street and the B »Aery. In about two
minutes a crowd numbering not less than a
thousand persons surrounded Mr. Bergh, and
tho street was soon blocked. Mr. Bcrgli had
determined to stop sach horses attached to
Third avenue care as he deemed unfit to
work, and he began at once. Policemen
were on the spot to keep back the throng
The up cars were not stopped. The first car
which arrived on the down track was driven
into the crowd, and then stopped by
Mr. Bergh. Policemen were ready to enforce
his orders if necessay. Mr. Bergh carefully
examined the horees, and ordered them taken
back to the stables. The order was obeyed,*
the passengers disembarked without much
grumbliug, and the car was switched upon
the up track and started back toward the s'a-
b!es. This was continuei until 4:30, during
which time but seven cars were passed. In a
brief time after this work was begun the road
was blocked with cars. Mr. Bergh continued
the examination. A majority of the specta
tors seemed to approve his action, as many
of them said so. Almost without exception
the drivers took the situation good naturedly,
and quietly applied the brake aud brought
their horses to a standstill when they had
reached Mr. Bergh. About one team in ten
was allowed tq pass. Nearly all the horses
were running at the nose, but now and theo
after inspecting a sepan Mr. Bergh said,
“Well, those horses are in very fair bodily
condition, and yon can drive on.” The
speech moie commonly heard was, “Take
yonr hordes back to the stable.” The drivers
looked on smiling while Mr. Bergh was
making the examination, and when the edict
went forth, many of them unshackled their
teams with the jocular remark to the crowd,
“Look out for these horses. They’ll kick.”
Whereupon the crowd looked at the jaded
beasts, and laughed when they thought of the
impossibility of the animals kicking. Many
ffTthe drivers responded to the order “Take
that team off,” with a cheery “All right,”
while a few weregrum and sullen.
THE STAGNATION OF TRADE.

of the ports have reached their largest week- politicians, who arc riding hobbies which
,Tr tK - any amount of “epizootic” influences could
not choke, arc seriously affected by the mala
dy, and are suffering in a business point of
view. On the East and North river wharves,
for two miles from the Battery, lie immense
heaps of freight and merchandise awaiting
transportation. The shippers are thoroughly
alarmed, and well they may be, for they are
daily losing fortunes. The accumulation of
a week’s business remains untouched, and it is
probable that it will be another week ere the
piers are again cleared.
FORTUNES LOST BT THE GRAIN TRADH.
The grain and flour merchants feel the
effects of the disease as much as any depart
ment of trade. It is their busy season. The
fall crops are beginning to pour into tbe
market by railroad and canal, and foreign
orders are being rapidly received. The ca
nals arc virtually closed, the tow hoises being
down with tbe prevailing dis emper. The
boats that continue running have advanced
freights to such an enormous figure that the
transportation of consignments already pur
chased, from Uswega and Buffalo, will more
than eat up the profits on the grain. The
railroad depots and cars contain thousands
of bushels of grain and thousands of barrels of
flour, and each hour adds largely to their num
ber. The companies are unable to deliver it,
and the o#ner cau not hire it carted to his ware
house. To reship it by another railroad line or
by water is impossible, as the approaches to
the cars or vessels arc clogged with the ac
cumulation of a week’s business. 80 uncer
tain is transportation that scarcely any busi
ness has been doue by the grain dealers for
several days, and thousands of dollars have
been lost through inability to cart breadstuffs.
In the docks are hundreds of canal boats,
Which have been towed from Albany, which
are lying idle, waiting for an opportunity to
discharge their cargoes. This it will be im
possible for them to do for a week to come,
and possibly the boats will be so long detained
that they will be unable to make another
trip this season. The delay is aggravating
because of the demand for boats to bring to
the Eastern market tho large quantities of
grain which are enroutc on the great lakes.
OCBAN STEAM SUITS DBLAY8D.
To-day the ocean steamers sail. They will
all be compelled to depart with one-third the
usu.nl amount of freight. What has been
placed on board has been by lighters, and at
tended with great expense. Some of the
companies will not start their steamers for
several days. The Idaho, which should have
bad 3,450 bales of cotton in her hold yester
day. morning, did not have on board 500
bales. Her other freight amounts to but a
few tons. Where uoii i\!-j teams are
generally busily loading the ocean steamers,
but one or two could be seen yesterday. At
S ier 44, National Line of ocean steamers,
usiacss ia altogether suspended, as none of
the horses of the company arc able to work.
The India, which arrived yesterday, has not
been able to discharge her freights. To-day
lighters will attempt the work.*
THB FRUIT DEALERS RUINED.
The effect *f non-transportation on the
fruit trade was noticed in yesterday’s San.
The condition of affairs hourly grows more
alarming, and fortunes' have been lost
through "the decay of the fruit Newly ar
rived vessels are unable to discharge their
cargoes, and thousands of dollars* woith of
fruit are rotting in their holds. Long expo
sure to the weather will destroy much of the
merchandise which crowds the wharves*, and
the small armies of river thieves which have
suddenly put in an appearance ore get!
away with much valuable booty. Large
dilions were made to the usual force of watch
men along the piers.
The Great Southern Freight line have but
two trucks at their disposal. Thc.e,witii the
assistance of lighters, have got on board one
vessel about half her ordinary cargo, and sh9
will to-day sail as usual. With this, as with
every other transportation company, a serious
circumstance is that large numbers of the
employees, drivers and handlers, are thrown
out of employment.
The sugar refineries along the river and else
where are without sugar, and have many of
them temporarily suspended business. Large

LIN’S CASE—BAPTIST CONFERENCE.
New York, November 4—The horse mal
ady is abating. It is believed that it will not

of the epidemic is the number of^carcasscs in
the street, facilities for removal not equal to
the demand.
Stephen Pearl Andrews has been arrested,

tears, and Clafiiu looked 6cmewhat defiant
The counsel for ihe prisoners complained of

“ He distinctly announced the obliteration
of State lines as one of the grand designs
and principles of the Republican party, and
threw hot shot and shell into all advocates
and advocacy of State distinctions, preroga
tives and rights.”
We clip this extract from the Savannah
Republican’s report of the speech of Grant’s
Attorney General, Williams, in that city,
Saturday evening a week ago.
Comment is needless. It is a bold, un
qualified enunciation of central doctrine that
those who are seeking to assimilate Greeley’s
position to Grant’s will do well to compare
with the positive utterances of the Baltimore
platform and Greeley’s acceptance in favor
of local self-government
Attorney General Williams distinctly de
clared for the obliteration of State lines, as
the grand design of the Ridical party.
There is no mistaking the purpose. It ia
not even sugar-coated. It calls for a Federal
despotism.
The man who in the face of such declara
tions as this, alleges that Grant and Greeley
stand together on the great issue of central
ism, is either destitute of sense or truth.
In the light of these revolutionary declara
tions of Grant’s Attorney surely Democrats
cannot and will not persist in the folly of in
directly aiding them by dividing the D>
mocracy.

The condition of the cotton market is even
worse than as printed in yesterday’s Sun,
Thousands of bales arc piled high on the
wharves, and but few trucks are removing
the rapidly increasing mass. Before many
of the freight companies* wharves the street
is partially blockaded with cotton and gen
eral merchandise. The Great Southern
Freight Company, which owns 200 horsce v
has not been able to make any inroad on
their merchandise
The B'*ston and Fall River Companies are
completely blockaded with merchandise, and
it is said at their wharves that no more
freight will be received until things improve.
The India, of the Anchor line, is being
loaded with lighters. The company’s
wharves arc blocked with freight which has
been discharged from incoming steamers, and
which awaita transportation to # its destina
tion. Only two trucks were at work on the
pile yesterday, aud their effect was scarcely
visible. They hardly attempted anything
but some of the more valuable packages
The agent at the different piers say that
goods are rotting, and will be ruined before by
any possibility they can 1 e removed. What
has been said of the above-named steamship
and transportation companies is true of al .
They are clogged with business, and unable
to receive or discharge goods. The railroad
companies are in, if anything, a worse condi
tion than the steamboat companies.
EXORBITANT DEMANDS.
Numerous instances of the exorbitant de
mands of drivers are reported. * A gentleman
offered a hackman $12 to take him from the
Cortlandt street ferry to the Forty-second
street depot His baggage was one trunk and
a small satchel. The coachman reflected an
instant and#coolly replied, “tiueas lean do
betterin that, boss.” Another instance is
lated of a drayman who demanded and ob
tained $42 for transporting one load of cotton.
He was not more than an hour and a half on
the whole job. A gpntleman yesterday paid
$10 to be driven from the Pavonia ferry
Fulton feiry.
The draymen, encouraged by the enor
mous prices being paid, are beginning to re
sume work, and it i« probable that to day tbe
pressure will be largely removed. Were
every hors* iu the city to begin work this
morning in his n>ual health ii would be ten
days ere the business of forwarders and
^hipp^rs could assume its wonttd regu
larity. 3!erchand:se of all kinds is at least
one wc?k behind lime in delivety.
