(tewYicM* u r er8al interest been maniftBied in AIIU religious exercises as was evinced at the meeting* of this society. So enrap tured and enthusiastic were the audi ences in attendance that no meeting waB dosed at the appointed time. Frequent murmurs were heard when the congre gation was dismissed. We heard of one gentleman who was loud in his com plaints when they dismissed after 10 o’clock one night, and remarked he had not entered a chUroh for about ten years, and did not like to be in terrupted when he had become so much interested in the proceedings.” No re ligious organization in this era of the world promises to accomplish more than the Y. M. C. A. Whilst we would say nothing disparaging of the Chris tian church or that great nursery of the oharch, the Sabbath-school, yet when wo see the great moral and religious in fluence to be accomplished by Christian young men in every community, who full of zeal in the Master’s cause are la boring to reclaim their associates from ruin and bring them into the church of God,-who can comprehend, who can portray the end of their glorious mis sion? What mother, what father, yea, what Christian does not bid them God speed ? St. Paul said, I write unto you young men, beoause you are strong. The young men of our country who are so prone to walk in forbidden paths are the ones to be guarded. The meeting of the association here has infused new life-into the churches, and a union meeting is progressing, attended by all denominations, and promises to be pro ductive of great good to the entire com munity. Churches and creeds are for gotten for the time, and that is one of the beauties of the Y. M. C. A. Observer.

Ector Courier—Hoping a commu- Joication from the land of ‘‘Old Hick- Ly" may not be uninteresting to your Mmerom readers, I seat myself to Ute you from this young, bustling, en- jttrprieing border city.

Indeed, we feel that we ate nearly over the Rubicon, and that til danger of fever is over, and with [every department of trade reviving and e Great Cincinnati Southern railroad hastening to its completion, our hearts are palpitating with gratitude and joy at our future prospects.

We republiBh from the Atlanta Con stitution Treasurer Renfroe’s statement of his conduct and management of the Treasury Department of Georgia, made before the Senate sitting as a high court of impeachment on Monday, the 29th ult. In its reports of the impeachment trial the Constitution says: The managers then cloBed their evi dence, and the respondent closed with the exception of bis statement, which he proceeded to make from tho secre tary’s desk in a clear, succinct and manly manner reviewing the chief points in his administration, and evi dently making the impression on the minds of many that if he had made money for himself by receiving for his private uses, interest on mon*hly bal ances of the public funds in some banks, Id of lew the P Unii mountains of seven States of eoreia T Alabama > Mississippi, Jv 'Tennessee,.

Witness says he informed Mr. Miller of this transaction himself when before the committee of investi gation. Witness reviewed his management of the State’s bonds, in the market, and showed that, in this respect, his admin istration had been wise, profitable to the State, and exceedingly eoonominal. He explained his transfer of the State’s business in New York from the Fourth national bank to the Park bank, stating that his only motive for doing so was to get better terms for the benefit of the people of Georgia. He thought the charges of the former bank for its fiscal agency, which averaged about $2,000 cer annum, was too high and transferred he agency to the Park bank, whose of ficers agreed to charge nothing for their service, to take $25,000 of the 4 per cent, bonds of the State, and to loan to the State any money she might need at 5 per cent, per annum. He positively denied the charge contained in the let ter of the Fourth national bank of New York in relation to his motive for mak ing this change. He referred, with some feeling, to the fact that the committee who thorough- y examined his books, coupons, vaults, etc., and who had to him and others admitted that everything was scrupu lously correct in his office, failed to re port this fact to the Honse. He said theomission was made, but why he knew not. That one thing was certain, that whether he left the treasury vol untarily or otherwise, every dollaT should be there at the time. —!• tsrywi fjS m—new Cotton Hills at the South. Boston Coinuorotal Bulletin. The cotton manufacturing industry in the South is making more rapid pro gress just now than ever before. Ac cording to the figures of the National Cotton Exchage the consumption by Southern mills during the season just closed, exclusive of Maryland and in clusive of Missouri, was 186,489 bales, against 147,747 bales during the season of 1877-8, showing an increase of 26 per cent. Both these amounts include the cotton taken from “delivery porte,” so-called. The consumption by North ern raillB were 1,376,384 bales last year, againBt 1,344,653 bales the previous year, showing an increase of about 2 ier cent. The consumption, both in he North and in the South, was the largest ever known. We may say, in lassing, that, while the consumption in Great Britain was smaller during the past year than in any previous year since 1869-70, the consumption in the United States last year was 74 per cent, greater, than 1869-70, and the con sumption of the continent of Europe 58 per cent, greater. The heavy increase in the Southern consumption last year over the previ ous year is confined to the mills of North and South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. North Carolina increased from 21,840 bales to 38,482 bales. South Carolina from 27,918 bales to 34,628 Georgia from 42,566 bales to REMEDIES Infallibly.Cure ail Skin ami Scalp Dis eases, Scaly Eruptions, Itching*, and Irritations.

Wesks A Potter t Gentlemen —We hsve a case of Leprosy in our poorhoose which is being oured by your Cutieura remedies. Tha eounty bad employed all of bur doctors and bed have a case of Loprosy in oar poorhoose whfel is being oared by your Cutleera remedies. Thi eounty bad employed ail of bur doctors ant hsd sent to Hew York for advice, but to no avail. The patient oommonccd using the Cutlchra end immediately began getting better. He hsd been confined to his bed one-half years.- Had not had his ' during . first tin 8tdctru^erTance d oF a hrofflc“l du- jfe Jbles^d Alabama from 6£91 ties. He boldly affirmed that not a bales to 12,083 bales. In the State of day had passed since his first appoint ment when he could not have shown every dollar received into the treasury, from whom, and on what account, and every dollar disbursed, to whom, and on what account. That he always had vouchers to show for every dollar paid from the treasury, and either the prop- er amounts in the vaults or certificates for its deposit. That he had out of bis own pocket employed Professor Moore, known to be a most accomplished ac countant, to review his bookB, etc., weekly and see that they were absolute ly correct. For this service ho paid him $250 per annum. His first knowl edge of the constitutional prohibition as to interests on deposits of the States fund was received from Judge Hall in the interview detailed by that gentle man. He immediately informed his sureties that such receipts must be stopped at once. He had through Dr. Wilson, one of his sureties, consulted Judge Hoyt as to the propriety of al lowing his sureties to use the funds at interest and was advised that it wa9 not illegal. That he only consented to the arrangement provided it could be done without violating any law, and so soon as informed that it was illegal he had it discontinued. In regard to the fee charged for sign ing the bonds of the Northeastern rail road company, he said he was induced to regard it legal and proper, by the ay me ate allowed by the State for' sim ilar service to a former treasurer by the General Assembly, and also bjr a letter received from-Mr. John Calvin John- son, at that time secretary of said road, in whioh he 'characterized the work as herculean, urged that it be done as early as possible, and proposed .to pay the fews for the same. The work of signlng the bonds was performedathiohome outside of office hours, and he regarded. Georgia, out of a total of 160,000 spin dles, 10,000 of whioh were added during the past year, only 17,300 were idle. The new mill at Columbus and the large Bteam mill at Atlanta have only recently got under way, and will large ly swell Georgia’s consumption during the current year. The excess in Ala bama last year is due to the increased number of mills in operation—one estab lishment, consuming over 6,000 bales ier annum, whioh closed during 1877-8, laving resumed work the past year. Great as hris been the inorease daring the past year in the consumption ofco ton by Southern mills, there is reason to believe that there will be a still heavier increase during the next two years. Readers of our manufacturing columns must baye noticed the numer ous new projects for the establishment of cotton mills that are receiving dis cussion in all parts of the South. The unparalleled advantages for this indus try offered by the South have only just begun to be appreciated by capitalists. An interesting feature of these new mill projects is that many of them look to the production of a finer olass of goods than have been hitherto manufactured by Southern cotton mills. • An important influence is destined to be exerted by the general introduction of the coal of northern Alabama. This is a capital steam coal, and is very cheap. It is estimated that the pro duction the present year will be double that of last year. This coal is already for two and r years.' Had not bad bis clothes on this time. [ Last week h* dressed for the me. , When he wiiksd there would at least one quart of soales cpme.oft of him. This happened every day.
