THURSDAY, JUNE 24. 1875. a i■ mi i mil TIIICpMILITIC' AV.OI TLOOK Ibe New York Tribune lias been making observations in the political *ky. Tt descries the coming conjunc tion of planets which will inevitably • csiilt in the overthrow of the douii na.. political party and restore the government to the control of the Demo /racy. Tt thinks the signs arc so patent that “ a wayfaring man though a Idul,” need not err therein. Tt ex- Its views as follows upon the political outlook : “ There has rarely been a time when it has been so little complicated and confused, or when the man of average understanding, reason ably good memory, and unbiased judg ment, could so easily unravel its tangled -nds and grasp not only its salient fea tures but its full significance. The present situation is that of a paUy .dominant throughout the nation for Fifteen years retiring from power and giving place to its opponent. There is mo mistaking it. The opposition have already a very largo majority in one branch of the government, it has re gained many of the States it lost be tween 1854 and 1860, and captured some it did not dream of. Tt is on the rising tide. The indications, as they present themselves to thinking men, are that the political revolution will be consummated in 1876. and the Demo cratic party will come into power in the nation.” 3oii(li Carolina and Virginia at flir Hmiltor ll£ll Celebration. The Baltimore Sun's special from Boston, dated the day beforo <ihe ceje lion, says: The South Carolinians were re ceived with marked enthusiasm, but probably *'bc greatest ovation of the day was accorded to General I'itzhugh Dee,who came later in the day with the Norfolk Blues. General Lee rode in in open carriage, with Colonel Walter Taylor, of Norfolk, formerly of General R. E. Lee’s staff. When his presence was known deafening shouts greeted him from packed sidewalks and win dows. The carriage was several times stopped by the eager crowd rushing under the wheels and before the horses * personally welcome him. Cur a '”"0 ance be rode uncovered, bowing a to the many salutations that greeted him op every side. When the carriage was stopped by the surging masses of eager people ho rose and bowed his acknowledgements. The ovations to this distinguished Virgin ian could not have been heartier any where. - —<*- For the Herald. vr nryv teaks—a ki.- Mi\isn:\<u. INSCRIBED TO THE FRIEND OF MY CHILDHOOD. Forgotten ! did you .say? The name in as familiar as a “houauhuld .word.” ’Tis as fresh as the morning dew. That mind lias become sordid indeed, that can jqrgct the dear associations of child hood; when we romped and laughed in all Pne free and unsuspecting glee fulness of our full, happy hearts ; then wo knew no guile, and feared no deceit. Forgotten ! no; I shall always think of, and connect the name with many, eery many of the bright, delightful memories of the past. It recalls the diys of ‘long, long ago,” wheu the en chanting visions of youth were all tint' ed with the hues of the rainbow; and in cur innocence we felt that .no ev.il could ever mar the sweet p'casures and bright hopes of life. Those were days of love and joyousness, free from cares and responsibilities, flow I wish they ,might have lasted always. But, alas ! for all things mutable! what a “change has come o’er the spirit of our dream,” and wc awake to the fact that all things here are subject to change and disap pointment.—'‘There’s nothing true hut heaven.” it has been thirty years since we ®iet. 'Then we were just upon the threshold .of life’s more'earnest duties. What changes since then ! We have met and battled with many stern reali ties. Have encountered disappoint ments and disasters; have been deceiv ed when, and where we least expected, aud ofttimes the ‘‘heart has been made sick trout hopes deferred.” Still there has been much to cheer—some suc cesses, and many a bright day of peace 4tod love and happiness. So the clouds do not last always, and our hopes arc not doomed to 6ad disappointment on every pathway. Thirty long years ’ When I think of the sad changes, (he disappointments, the cares, the loss of friends during these long rears it almost seems like ‘an endless age. Like some glimmer ing, measureless vista through which the vision is strained, and tires in gaz ing. Like wandering amid some gloo my labyrinth, Tost aloii,<j its dreary maze until tlm heart gr{ nret ' n t from its own contemplations, . years have brought frosted lock.- tnd now and then an >e that tells of failing strength '• approaching age. But imam. When I recount the many, many scenes of bright, refresh ing pleasures, the enchantments atten dant upon social life, the various grati Bed wishes resulting from hopes real ized, 'it seems but as yesterday since we were children together, bounding o’er flowery paths and fragrant fields— I forget age, and am a child again. So when I take all into the count, I find more of joy than of sorrow, more of love than of envy, more of smiles than of tears, and feel that lifo though a stern reality, is D*>t all dark and dreary. Euty will lavish her rich, rewards up on her votaries. 4 So, then, it is in the faithful disoharge of duty, our honest, earnest <kity,'that we can hope to real ize subsAntial enjoyment. He who looks for pleasure in any other path than this, will either be doomed to coustant disappointment, or else become soured with life and a foe to what is good. IVlint si Itig Crop IVocih! I>o. [Macon Tel. ami Mess., 17ili inst.] Cotton fluctuates and languishes in the foreigu and domestic markets, with a largely diminished supply and the certainty that the fast .crop is three to four hundred .thousand hales shor.t. The market has no backbone and is notj likely to have any. The trouble now is an apprehension of ngi increased crop uext fall. A half million bales excess in tho incoming crop would undoubtedly diminish the money value of the whole crop to producers, even •below that of the present crop. The practical value of propitious weather to the cotton producer, there fore, will not inure to him, hut to buy ers and manufacturers. And he is, moreover, in tho situatiou of a defend ant prejudged to ho guilty until he has time and opportunity to prove his inno cence. Tiro world of cot-ton purchasers as sume .an outside limit of production Vivti.l it is apparent that this limit has not been attained. Thus the shadow of the big forthcoming crop of 1875-76 —though the subject docs not exist— though it is as yet, only a creation of fond juifycluation, is thrown on the little remnant of the incoming crop and shuts out all sunlight from the market. Such is the situation, and the whole argument would lie fur a short cotton crop, provided the loss of product could be equally distributed among producers. The effect of increase in product is simply to impose on the grower the task of more picking, baling apd hauling, without remuneration, and indeed, as we believe, at even less than a diminished product would bring to the planter. The interest of the planter in a heavy crop is, therefore, a purely indi' vidual and not a collective interest. It is an interest merely to secure his per sonal share in the Bum total of crop money, which he believes will be en dangered by a small yield on his par ticular farm. If he could be assured that three bales of his short crop would bring him just as much money as five bales of a heavy crop, he would say give me the three bales all the time. I do not wish to raise and send two bales to market at my own cost. Hut as tho cotton crop covers a vast region and embraces a variety of cli matic conditions, no vicinago of the planting interest, and no region of country feels that it has any material power in controlling the great volume of product. If such a power could possibly be brought into existence and wisely exercised, the whole planting interest could he secured a profitable product, by at once regulating the pro duction to meet tho demands of con sumers, and so establishing a fairly remunerative price, and a condition of affairs iu which propitious seasons should not work positive injury to the planter. Tho inability of the planting interest to establish and maintain auy control of cotton production amoDg themselves (which would be the simplest nud most direct remedy for the evils under which they labor), makes it clear enough to our mind that all projected combinations to control tho markets and shipments of cotton in the same interest, will be equally impracticable and futile, and the chances are that they will prove disastrous. Men should not venture beyond their legitimate business-s-business which they have been trained to aud understand in ull its parts and bearings. If they do, they will blunder and learn experience at the Oust of loss and failure. .We sec no possible chance of con trolling the cotton trade by tuy couibi nations among producers, especially in the light of the fact that combinations to regulate cotton production have been found impracticable. The only remedy we can see in the premises is a personal one, and very partial at that. It is for every cotton pr<duccc to gain a pecuniary condition in which he will not be forced to hurry his crop forward at the opening of tin market, but can choose his own time for selling. This will le some vantage ground gained, though perhaps not a very im portant one in respect to mere prices. It would have made no very material difference the current cotton year ; but next fall, if the market opens under the depressing effect of extravagant estimates of the maturing crop, and the cramp of general dull times, wo can well see it would make a great ence, should the crop afterwards prove light and business revive. The Tennessee Wheat Crop. The Nashville Bulletin has authentic information from its canvassers over the State, that the average of wheat is probably twenty per cent, in excess of last year, and the yield greater per acre than at any time during the past six years. STATE ITEMS. A snake with two legs was killed near Columbus recently. Barnesville has voted to issue 88,000 in bonds to tho Gordon Institute. The State Agricultural Convention will meet in Dalton on tho first Mon day in August. Wm. Goodnow has been appointed Receiver of the Schofield Rolling Mills of Atlanta. Lindsay Gobert, a well known young man of Augusta, committed suicido by shooting himself on last Thursday eve ning. Jaekfoi an 1 Bowen, charged -with the murder of Col. J. R. Jones, of Terrel country, have been acquitted. Ely Schwarzhnum was accidentally shot by his brother, in Savannah, on last Saturday afternoon. Another in stance of the danger of carrying con cealed weapons. ino pimeagcvilio Union and' Re corder says the factory at that place has discontinued the manufacture of cotton goods, thus throwing thirty or forty hands out of employment. The Supremo Court has sustained Judge Gibson in his refusal to grant an injunction restraining the Directors of the Georgia Railroad from complet ing the purchase of tho Western Rail- | road of Alabama. Somc Savannah ladies aro circulat ing the following for signatures : “We, the ladies cf Savannah, desiring by our exauiplo to promote economy, aud to discontinue extravagance, and thereby lighten in some measuro the burdens of our husbands aud fathers by prudent retrenchment in our household ex penses, therefore pledge our word of honor each to the other that we will NOT, during a period of ope year from the first day of July, 1875, purchase any material for wearing apparel the cost of which shall exceed twenty-five cents per yard. And shall further promise to observe a strict economy in all the household appurtenances, and cheerfully add by those delicate sacri fices to the general stock of home com forts, too often dispensed with for the frivolous outside adornment of tho body alone.” The Griffiu Star and Cultivator says the agent of the Direct Trade Union at that place received returns from the cottou of different parties during last week, and that after “ deducting every expense, this cotton, which was ship ped iu differeut lots, has netted the parties from §S to Sl2 per bale, over and above wbat the cotton would have brought in Griffin on the day of ship ment. More than this, the parties at tho tiuicof shipment drew three-fourths of the Griffin value of the cottoD, and have had the use of this money during the entire interval. Had they deposi ted it in a Griffin warehouse and kept it until the day it was sold in Liverpool they would, instead of making, have lost several dollars per bale. Now, had the 18,000 bales that have been brought to Griffin during the past sea son been shipped to Liverpool through the same channel, the farmers in this seotion would have made a gain of at least §150,000. On the entire crop of the country the same operation would have saved the South twenty-five or thirty millions of dollars,” - —-*■ ♦ Sheet music—Children crying in bed. GLEANINGS.

A statement just published shows that the amount of money appropriated by the last Congress was a little over one hundred and sovooty-niuo million dollars, and about ono hundred and fif ty new offices were created. A State official, of Tennessee, who is very careful in his statements, says : Tho smallest district in my country re turns over three hundred dogs (three dogs voter,) and various bitches.

Financially, both .State and city arc improving. Agriculturally, tho news fronPevery quarter is to a de gree almost unprecedented. People are leaving California in droves. On last Wednesday, 700 im poverished people reached Kansas City on their return from that overrated country. On Saturday 300 more ar rived from California, out of money and almost out of heart. They all say that labor on the Pacific slope is so plenty that meu aro glad to get work at 50 cents a day. We hear the same kind of reports from Texas, where skilled mechanics are glad to get work as day laborers. —[St. Journal. According to the New York corres pondent of tho Atlanta Constitution a plot is brewing 4o break up the two thirds rule in conventions. We are told that the Columbus, Macon, Savan nah and Augusta papers are to he ap proached on the subject; that “the ringleaders are determined to control the nest convention for nominating candidates for Governor and Congress —aud they believe they can control a majority, but not two-thirds in all the conventions. And to this end it is be lieved that all the patronage of the Ex ecutive of the State is and will be used, and that the pen cf a ready writer from his office will be brought into require ment.” To Heart, What a thing it is for a man to have said of him, that he has no heart 1 No heart. Then he is hardly a hu man being. Ho is like an oyster, a po tato, a stick, a stone; like a lump of ice, only he is uever iu the melting mood. Such a man does not love his race, nor even his best friends. llis love for his own immediate family is a sort of selfish feeling of possession. Iu realitj he Joves uobody but himself—aud that isu’t love. And a woman without a heart: can there he anything more abhorent ?

Paraf. Ho knew that tlie air was full of moisture, and ho knew that chloride of calcium would attract and condense it for cultural purposes, lie has applied this chloride on sand hills and road beds, on grass, and or. all sorts of soils successfully, and he has accer tained that it may be applied in sueli proportions as will produce the irriga tion of laud cheaply and efficiently. —M. De La Bastie having made glass elastic and malleable by plunging it when heated into an oil bath, two Silesian experimenters have turned their ingenuity to the opposite extreme, and have recently discovered a method of making glass so hard and unyielding that it can neither be bent nor broken, and may be plunged, red hot, into cold water without injury. , Indestructible lamp chimneys and window panes that defy snow balls are among the least of the advantages expected from this in vention. —The experiments made in London, in which either oil or glycerine is made to perform the functions of steam by the same means—toe application of heat —have excited no small interest. The heat expands the oil iu small cylinders, and from it, it is claimed, a pressure of ten thousand pounds per square inch may be obtained without the danger of steam explosions, which latter prevent the use of a pressure of more than two hundred pounds to the square inch generally. In this instance, it is as serted, an explosion would only crack the cylinder containing the oil. The application of this process appears, from the accounts published, to have been successfully made to the printing press and to machines for riveting and punching, and it is alleged that the va riety of uses of which it is susceptible will be found very great.
