MACON, DECEMBER 19, 1871.
Terms Casta*
There is no business so inexorably cash as
that of the daily newspaper. It must meet its
engagements with cash every week. To do this
it cannot give long credits. Onr advertisers, in
making their engagement with us, must remem
ber that promptitude is indispensible. An ad
vertisement is due when it first appears; but if
we wait upon our friends until the service is all
performed, we cannot possibly wait longer ; and
as the money merely goes through onr hands
and returns immediately to the general current
of circulation, we should bo dealt with all the
more promptly. We are of those who contri
bute considerably to add to the circulating
medium—bringing it from abroad and turning
it loose every day and week in Macon, where it
immediately seeks all the channels of active
trade. . , .
In these tight times let everybody be as
prompt with everybody as possible, and great
relief will bo experienced. The same dollar
will fly rapidly from hand to hand and be made
to do double or thribble service. On the other
band, a bard grip on the dollar, will vastly
increase the general stringency. We ask our
city patrons especially, not to keep onr collec
tor running and dunning on past due bills.
Pay them and the money will be back in their
drawers again before night.
The New Apportionment Bill.
The House of Representatives has under con
sideration a bill introduced at the last session
to mako a new apportionment of membership
to that body. It will probably pass. The bill
proposes that the next House shall consist of
two hundred and eighty-one members, includ
ing four Representatives elected from States
having the largest fractious—being an increase
of thirty-eightmembersover the present number.
Vermont and New Hampshire will lose one mem
ber each—they have only three each now—and
Illinois gains five, the latter having reached the
dignity of being third State in the Union on the
soore of population, ranking wiih Ohio. Mas
sachusetts gains one, New York one, New
Jersey two, Pennsylvania two, Maryland one,
Virginia one, North Carolina one, Sonth Caro
lina one, Georgia two, Alabama one, Missis
sippi one, Kentucky one, Tennessee one,
Indiana one, Missouri three, Arkansas one,
Michigan three, Texas two, Iowa three, Wis
consin two, California one, Minnesota one,
Kansas two. The present Honse .consists of
two hundred and forty-three members. It is
proposed that the bill, if passed, shall take
effect after the 3d of March, 1873, so tbattbe
present regulations respecting the Presidential
Electoral Colleges will not be disturbed next
year.
News Items.
Hacks can be had at all hours of the day or
night, by half hour or hour, at Freeman’s livery
stable.
O. B. Rice is in town and ready to bring his
long experience and skill to the rectification of
your piano or organ.
The Peince of Wales was bom OthNovember,
3811, and is, of course, upwards of thirty years
of age.
Protection.—The Cape Cod fishermen met at
Barnstable last Thursday, and demanded more
protection from Congress. Let Congress protect
the fish—they are in greater need of it.
France.—The news from Prance is lively.
From all accounts M. Thiers has gone over to
the Orloanists in order to fight the Empire.
The Republic is going into liquidation.
The Prince of Wales, np to noon yesterday,
wa3 apparently just alive and his symptoms
very menacing. We fear later dispatches in
this edition may announce his death.
Missoubl— Governor Gralz Brown’s message
to the Missouri Legislature was sent in last
Thursday. It is heavy on Grant and arraigns
him for high treason to true Republican prin
ciples.
Louisville. —The Courier-Journal claims that
the population of Louisville has tripled and her
trade quadrupled in the last ten years, and in
respect to improvements her progress has been
still more marked. If so, Lonisville is going
ahead faster than any other American city.
H. I. Kimball.—The Courier-Journal says it
is stated that H. L Kimball, the great Georgia
capitalist who failed, is still in New Haven,
Connecticut, quite unwell, and much afflicted
in mind as well as in body on account of his
Georgia failures.
Cotton was active and firm in Liverpool yes
terday, and also in New York, with an advance
of a quarter of a cent in the Utter market. The
figures telegraphed on Snnday are very obviously
incorrect, but we print as reported. At last the
wise acres are beginning to suspect that the crop
of 1871 is short
Richabd Vandebmabck.—This is a new novel
by Mrs. Sidney S. Harris, author of Rntledge,
ete., just published by Charles Scribner & Co.,
and for sale by Brown & Co. The scene is laid
in New York city, and the story said to be fall
of lively incidents well told by a writer -who has
gained an enviable reputation among American
novelists.
Democratic Stbength.—The World, of Fri
day, says it has taken the trouble to figure np
the aggregate of votes cast in the last Congres
sional election and they stand as follows: Demo
cratic votes cast, 2,741,8G0; Republicans, 2,685,-
374—showing a Democratic majority of 5S,486.
If that is tire way of it the Radicals have ger
rymandered heavily. Let them keep on as they
are going and in a few years they can control
affairs with no votes at alL
A New Proclamation.—The New York Even
ing l’oat announces by telegram from Albany
that Gov. Hoffman’s forthcoming message to
the New York Legislature is going to formally
proclaim the dissolntion of the Democratic par
ty. If the Governor had kept his part of it in
belter order, he might not have been reduced
to that saa necessity. But let ns console our
selves. If that proclamation be made, and we
do not respect it, Hoffman can’t put ns under
martial law. Only Grant can do that.
Senator Tbumbull contradicts the report of
an interview with a reporter of the Conrier-
Journal which we reprinted a few days ago from
that paper. He says he knows nothing about it
and, to the best of his reoolleotion, no snob in
terview took plaoe. A World special on this
point explains, that Senator Trumbull makes no
secret of hia opposition to Grant, although he
insists that Grant has oome to his position upon
the questions of amnesty, and civil serrioe and
revenue reforms. He'will take Grant as a
choice of evils between Grant and a Democrat,
bnt ia not in favor of Grant if a better repub
lican can be found.
Sal* of the Manamas Battlx Field.—A
Virginia paper says: “On the 20th ultimo was
sold the farm called Hazel Plain, in Prince
Witliam county, Virginia, (better known as the
China farm) oontaimng 550 acre, belonging to
B. T. Chinn, for $8 per sore, to Mrs. Mary A.
Dorman, executrix. This farm is a portion of
the plateau upon which were fought the first
and second battles of Manassas. When the war
oommeneed it was under a high state of im
provement, and the dwelling house upon it was
one of the finest in that seotion of the State,
bnt that soonrge devastated it, and the open
fields and young pines, and shattered mansion,
all nor bear evidence to the bloody conflicts of
whiob it was the stone.”
Tiie Mileage God ye.
We can think of no more appropriate term
by which to fitly describe this business than the
above. It is a gouge of the mo9t unmitigated
description. We hold that the members of the
Legislators ought to bo ashamed of themselves
for having been guilty of it, and that they oould
do no better or more graceful work than to re
consider the matter. To the $7 per day we
offer no very serious objection, though $6 was
enough in all conscience, the financial condition
of the State being considered as it should have
been.
But on this mileage business we will not listen
to any argument, for there can be none in its
favor worth the name. It is nothing more nor
less than a gouge. Three dollars for every
twenty miles travel is outrageous, and we shall
not cease to eo denounce it whenever the occa
sion offers. Actual traveling expenses is what
was demanded by every consideration of econo
my and justice to the people. Take the case
of the Bibb county members for example—and
we cite their case simply because we know ex
actly what it costs them to get to Atlanta—and
see how the thing cuta The fare from Macon
to Atlanta is §5, one meal on the way, §1,
making total expenses to Atlanta $6. Mileage
at $3 for every 20 miles—the distance being
counted at 100 miles—$15, leaving a net profit
on the transaction to the member of $9. In
the case of the members from Richmond county
the objectionable feature of this business is
possibly more apparent. The distance from
Augnsia to Atlanta is 171 miles, which wonld
make $25 50 mileage. The fare is $9—we be
lieve—possibly less, and only one meal is taken
on the road, cost of which added to the railway
fare makes $10 as total expenses of reaching
Atlanta. Deduct $10 from $25 50 and we have
in going and retnrning thirty-one dollars as the
amount made on mileage by each member.
We submit that this money, or the greater part
of it, ought to remain in the treasury for the
benefit of the people, generally.
But most or very many, at least, of the mem
bers of the Legislators pay no railway fare at
alL Railroad companies are very liberal these
days in the matter of free passes, and the hon
orable gentlemen’s expenses on that account
are very light. Suppose the member from Bibb
or the member from Richmond has a free pass,
and, therefore, pays no railway fare ? Then yon
see his $3 for every twenty miles travel be
comes a very costly fiction—the biggest sort of
a quid without hardly the ghost of a quo.
We don’t like this business at all, and there
fore, we speak plainly concerning it. It is
wrong in all its beanng and from every stand
point, and 8honld be righted as speedily as
possible. Let mileage mean actual traveling
expenses, and that too by the nearest roate.
That is fair, liberal and jus% and especially be
comes the servants of a people so poor as oars.
It may be shockingly unparliamentary, bnt wo
move a reconsideration of the question and if
it is possible, to pen the numerous dodgers,
votes of this sort generally develop, we espe
cially desire a record of the yeas and nays on
the proposition.
General Assembly of Georgia.
PROCEEDINGS OF MONDAY.
Spain Excited,
Madrid is said to be greatly excited over
Grant’s message, and, in consequence, is going
to send over four thousand men, two generals
and fonr iron clads and “maintain a firm atti
tude.’' If that means murdering any more
fourteen year old boys, we are sorry for it.
We hold it proof positive that the Americans
are tired of fighting as a business that these
bloody Dons were not cleared ont of Cuba two
years ago; and instead of getting into a pas
sion over Grant's message the Spaniards should
be too happy and astonished over the fact that
ten thousand American volunteers have not
backed the Cabans in their struggles to deliver
themselves from an oppressive, bigotted and
sanguinary despotism, which is a scandal to
Christianity and civilization.
We trnst Spain will keep cool and do nothing
to provoke American interference in Cuban
matters, which will be only too ready to startup
on slight provocation.
The Case Folly Mated.
We find the following unanswerable summing
np of the arguments why the Federal Govern
ment should not control the telegraph lines of
the country, in the New York Tribune of Fri
day:
It wonld make him (the President) master
of the press of the country, for the press de
pends upon the telegraph for its news. It
wonld enable bim, if he were nnscrnpnlons, to
give to the news of the day, such a color as he
chose, and th-ns fatally to pollute the very
fountain head of public opinion. He conld
cause his agents to suppress intelligence abso
lutely necessary to enable the people to form a
safe and enlightened judgment on affairs of the
utmost importance. In short, if the President
were a bad and ambitions man, the control of
the telegraph wonld enable him to paralyze
public opinion in this country, at a vital mo
ment, as completely os it was ever paralyzed by
Napoleon IIL in France. The strongest and
most conclusive reasons, theD, why this project
to sell the telegraph to the Government ought
to fail, are that it wonld dangerously increase
the great powers of the President; because it
would put it in the power of a bold, bad man
to nsarp supreme authority; because it wonld
inevitably lead to a tampering with the news
of the day, for partisan purposes; because, by
muddling, paralyzing, and corrupting the
grounds of public opinion, it wonld gravely en
danger onr liberties.
All of which things it is safe to say Grant
would sorely do, if in his power, and be saw
any profit to his pnrse or addition to his already
frghtfnl power, in the doing thereof.
The Internationals started ont to have a
grand demonstration in New York last Sunday,
which was very properly prohibited by the po
lice, wberenpon they set to work sedulously
making dispositions for a riot, and have deter
mined npon a big demonstration next Sunday,
whether or no. Unfortnnately, there are quite
too many people in this world who are deter
mined to lire on the labors of others, and of
this class the Internationals are the worst, be
cause they go in fora forcible division and then
for burning ont the balance. Free labor and
very little of it—down with the rich and let no
body be poor—plenty to eat and nothing to pay-
let the government support the people and down
with taxation—all capital is robbery and let the
people have plenty of money—these are the
fundamental dogmas of the petrolisU. And
they feed the ardent firea of their patriotism
with kerosene. That party may one of these
days get to be as bad as the Radicals.
A Columbia, S. C., dispatch to the Charles
ton News, of Saturday, says: “In the Honse,
to-day, C. C. Bowen presented his credentials
as a representative from the oonnty of Charles
ton. His right to a seat was contested on the
grounds of irregularity in issuing the writ for
the election, and beoauae he had been convicted
of an infamous crime. He was finally admitted
by a vote of 73 to 22. Bowen then made a
speech, charging the administration with steal
ing seven million dollars, and promising to hold
them to the strictest accountability.” Cool.
Fish and Akebkan.—The rumor that Fish
and Akerman are going out of the Cabinet is
again denied, and we shell not reprint it again
until they go. The Radical newspapers ap
pear so anxious that these gentlemen should
take leave (hat they are bidding them good by
every week; bnt F. and A are on their mettle
and will take no such hints.

Reported for the Telegraph and Messenger/]
Senate.—The Senate was called to order by
President Trammel, and prayed for by Rev. Mr.
Ketchum.
The roll was called. Present: Messrs. Came
ron, Candler, Clark, Colman, Deveanx, Estes,
Erwin, Griflio, Heard, Hicks, Hillyer, Hinton,
Hoyle, Jervis, Jones, Jordan, Kirkland, Kib-
bee, Lester, Matthews, MoWhorter, Nicholls,
Nunnelly, Peddy, Reese, Richardson, Simmons,
Smith and Wellborn—29.
On motion of Mr. Jones, leave of absence
was granted to Messrs. Hoyle and Steadman.
Mr. Hinton moved to take np the general ap
propriation bill by sections.
The motion was carried, and the sections of
the bill severally read and adopted. The-bill
was passed.
Leave of absence was granted to Mr. Brown
on account of sickness.
Mr. Candler rose to a question of privilege,
to-wit: That the flag whioh had floated as a pro
tecting genius over the capitol had inexplicably
disappeared and he desired to oall the attention
of the Senate to the fact, that the cause of the
mysterious occurrence might be investigated.
Mr. Matthews offered a resolution that a com
mittee of two from the Senate and three from
the Honse be appointed to find out by whom
the flag had been pulled down and for what
reason. Withdrawn.
Mr. Hinton offered a resolution that whereas,
it had been represented by an experienced ar
chitect that the capitol building is not entirely
safe, that this Legislature shall hold its next
session in the former Capitol Building at Mil-
ledgeville.
The Senate refused to suspend the rule to
take np the resolution.
Mr. Wellborn stated that observing a number
of vacant seats of Senators whose absence is
not accounted for, he demanded the calling of
the roll.
Leave of absence was granted to Messrs.
Cone and Richardson.
Mr. Bruton offered a resolution that Messrs.
Lester, Hillyer and Beese be appointed to
ascertaia and report whether the present ses
sion of this Senate is authorized by law.
Mr. Lester made the point that the resolu
tion is ont of order, for if the session is author
ized by law, the resolution is unnecessary, and
if not authorized by law, the Senate had no
power to act on the resolution; and further,
that by solemn two-thirds vote taken en Satur
day, the Senate had determined the session of
to-day to be legal.
The Chair ruled the point well taken.
Mr. Jones appealed from the decision of the
Chair, and as a member of the committee ap
pointed to notify the acting Governor of the
resolution of the Senate, extending the session
until Saturday, 16th, he stated that the com
mittee duly waited upon the acting Governor
on Saturday afternoon and informed him of
the action of the Senate. He inquired of the
committee whether the resolution was to the
same purport as that of the Hose, and was
told that it was, and that a certified copy of the
resolution would be furnished ns soon as the
same could be procured by the Secretary.
Mr. Reese argued the question from the
Constitution, contending that that instrument
does not include a question of adjournment in
the statement of legislative action, which re
quires the sanction of the Executive, and
further, that adjournment is expressly excepted
and made to depend solely npon a two-thirds
vote of the General Assembly.
The decision of the Chair was sustained
House amendments to the Pentitentiary Bill—
providing for farming out the convicts, were
concurred in.

from the table a bill to amend the charter of

The Prolonged Session.
[We are sorry to see the following evidence
of misohievious purpose on the part of Acting
Gov. Conley in the Atlanta Constitution of Son
day.]
Both branches of the Legislature yesterday
passed resolutions by the requisite two-thirds
vote to prolong tbe Constitutional session of
forty days until next Saturday. A committee
was appointed to notify the acting Governor,
who responded that he should not recognize the
Legislature after twelve o’clock Saturday night,
when the forty days term expired.
This act of theAoling Executive is in unison
with his predetermined and oaptiousprogramme
of making a fuss with the Assembly on all pos
sible occasions to secure himself in power.
He relies on his disapproval of the act of
prolonging the teim to defeat it, when his
approval is not necessary.
Paragraph 3, seotion 1 of artiole 3 of the Con
stitution is as follows:
“No session of the General Assembly, after
the second under this Constitution, shall con
tinue longer than forty days, unless prolonged
by a vote of two-thirds of each branch thereof.”
Each branch of thte Legislature has prolonged
the session by a two-thirds vote.
Paragraph 8,'section 2, article 4 of the Con
stitution reads thus: —ffil
‘•Every vote, resolution or order,- to which
the concurrence of both houses may be necessary
except on a question of election or adjournment,
shall be presented to the Governor, and before
it shall take effect be approved by him, or, being
disapproved, shall be repassed by two-thirds of
each honse, according to the rales and limita
tions prescribed in oase of a bill.”
This shows that uu questions of adjournment
the Execntive sanction is not needed, even if
a joint resolution was required to bold over the
time.
No other but a Radical would have the au
dacity to rtin in this matter in the teeth of the
example set by the last Legislature, of whioh
Mr. Conley was one of the presiding officers.
That body prolonged with a vengeance, and
Mr: Conley did not think it wrong then to tako
part in Beveral sessions, some of them ninety
days long. Bat now, when a few days more are
needed to perfeot work of legislation, Mr. Con
ley becomes virtuous and economical.
His action ia partisan, captions, ^11-timed,
bad-tempered, injurious and revolutionary.
We learn that Mr. Conley was much excited
when the committee reported to him. The
Senate resolution was not quite ready when tbe
committee called, and Captain Atkinson,.the
Secretary of the Execntive Department, refused
to receive it, and Conley’s door was found lock
ed, and admission refased.
Whether this was to raise a, quibble about re

desperate purpose to thwart the popular will,
impede the legislation, and, if possible, throw

It is a nice question what the'Legislature

right of the State to exact the license. This
court holds that the statute of Maryland is a vio

guarantees to the citizens of each State all the
rights, privileges, etc., of citizens in the sev

the view is taken that it is not a violation of

Mr. Jnstioe Clifford delivered the opinion of the
Court. Mr. Justice Bradley concurred in the
opinion as to the first branch of the decision,
but dissented as to the second, bolding that the
statute is a violation of the commercial clause of
the constitution, because it is a regulation of
of commerce between States, and that it is re
pugnant to this clausa of the constitution with

Annapolis, December 11-—Professor Aiken

by two or three results characteristic of anti
mony and nothing else. He-detailed the 1 pro
cess and treatment for dotermining the pres
ence of antimony and made teste to asoertais in
in what particular compound antimony was
present; there certainly was only the presence
of an antimonal containing that particular. or
dinary article of commerce known as tarter
emetic, tbe result or compound obtained was
suiphide of antimony, tbe quantity could net
have have been 1cm than twenty grains and if
yon oall the tartar emetic there > were
fully twenty grains or more. Tho
ten grains of sulphide of antimony present
would make twenty grains of tartar emetic.
The witness was examined concerning the sedi-
the tumbler at Mrs. Wharton’s, a
ning sediment was placed in
bis hands by Dr. Chew which he tested for
tartar emetic. It verified his tests and he found
not less than ten grains of tartar emetic in the
sediment. He thinks the quantity was twelve
grains, it was not less ten.

A Woman’s Conclusion*.
SJX 7H<B8S CAR?. CT/T
I said if I misfit go back agate
To the very hour and place of my biith:
Mtaht have my life whatever I chose,
And lire it in any part of the earth:
Put peifect sunshine into my eky,
. Banish the shadow of sorrow and doubt;
Have all my happiness multiplied,
And all my tuffering stricken ont;
If I could have known, in the years now gone,
The best that a woman cornea to know;
Oould have had wbate’er will m-ke her blest,
Or whatever she thinks will make.hsr so:
Have found the highest and purest bliss
That the bridal wreath and ring inclose;,
And gained the one out of all the world
That my heart as well as my reason cboee:
And if this bad been, and I stood to-night
By my children, lyieg asleep in their beds,
And could count in my prayers, for a rosary,
The shining row of their golden heads:
Yes, I eaid, if a miracle such as this
Could be wrought for me,' at my bidding, still
I would chooee to have my past as it is,
And to let my future come as it will;
I would not nuke the path I have trod
Mere pleasant or even, more straight or wide;
Nor change my course the breadth of a hair,
This way or that way, to either side.
My paet is mine, and I take it all;
Its weakness—its folly, if you please;
Nay, even my eine, if you come to that,
May ha Vo been my helps-not hindrances 1
If I saved my body from the flames
Because that once I had burned my han^;
Or kept myaelf from a greater sin
By doing a less—you will understand;
It was better I suffered a little pain—
Better I sinned for a little time—
If the smarting warned me back from death,
And the sting of sin withheld from crime.
Who kaows its strength by trial will know
What strength muBt be set against a sin;
And how temptation is overcome
He has learned who has felt its power within!
And who knows how a life at the last may show ?
Why, look at the moon from where we stand!
Opaque, uneven, you esy; yet it shines,
A luminous sphere, complete and grand.
So let my past stand just as it stands.
And let me now, as I may, grow old;
I am what I am, and my life for me
Is the best—or it had not been, I hold.

PREPARED FOB THE TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER.
The French National Assembly is in session.
Not wishing to add to the difficulties besetting
the path of Government, the Princes of Orleans
have for the present refrained from taking their
seats. Despite the earnest representations of
Taiers, they were for a while determined to
appear in the Chamber of Deputies, where the
Duke of Aumale is said to oontrol a vast influ
ence. The presence of tbe Princes in the House
would have divided the members at once into
two hostile camps. Thiers and his partisans
representing the Republican, and the Orleans
forming the Monarchical party. We think the
startling report stating that Thiers wonld re
sign in favor of the Duke of Aumale is to be
received with great caution. A bill repealing
the confiscation of the property owned by the
Orleans has already been brought forward.
The suppression of “L’Avenir Liberal” and
“Le Pays’’ two Imperialistic journals, is sharply
criticised by the Paris papers, even by those
whioh reprove and condemn the agitation of
those organs. They think each severe measures
to be ill-timed and reproach the government
with the impolicy of betraying any fear of the
Imperialists. The proceeding of the Executive
is justly termed unfair, as the “Journal official”
has recently published a series of appointments
which, according to the “Siecle,” violate’tbe
principle of equality before the law in favor of
the Princes of Orleans. The Duke of Chartres
took the lead by receiving an appointment as
captain of the Chasseurs d’Afrique; then -fol
lowed the nomination of the Duke of Pen-
tbievre as lieutenant in the navy; and now the
Dake d’Alencon has been authorized to enter
the French service as captain of artillery, a rank
he had held in the Spanish army. “When turn-
ing round,” the Siecle adds, “to ascertain
whether there are still more princes ready for
the cue, we behold the sons of the Duke of
Montpersier, who are only waiting for the de
cree in the “Journal Official” to make their ap
pearance on the scene. The members of the
“Conseils Generauxdu Hirault”have expressed
the desire that these appointments, violating
article one of the Code Civil, shonld be revoked.
Parte cannot regain yet her old fiery-like
splendor. The concourse of foreigners is com
paratively small, and the retail trade in the lux
urious establishments is particularly restricted.
Nothing illustrates better the fierce ordeal of
war and two seigea the capitol has gone through
than the appearance of the streets at night.
While formerly the brilliant illustration of the
large stores would bathe the great thorough
fares in a sea of light, the streets appear now
dark and cheerless, economy having abolished
the customary splendid illnmination. There are
fifty-four thousand dwellings in the capitol
empty!
The officers of the Paris garrison have found
ed a society for promoting the stndy of the Ger
man language, and started the publication of a
monthly paper for which the minister of war
and Thiers have also subscribed. The club
having made public that two weekly meetings
will be held for the purpose of practicing Ger
man in the form of conversation, the “Siecle”
reminds the officers of the fact that German re
quires a hard and patient study.

An Irish Home Rule Association has been
formed in London. Its members will endeavor
to obtain for Ireland a Parliament for the man
agement of her internal affairs, and the oontrol
over her Own resources and revenues. Ques

are to be left to the Imperial Parliament.
Warwick Castle, one of the best preserved
baronial seats dating from feudal times, has
been badly damaged by fire. The apartment of

of art, were completely destroyed.
The German Reichstag has passed a motion
of Lasker, extending the competence of the Im
perial legislation over the whole civil law.
Five prosaisms, the first being one thousand,
and the fonr remaining ones two hundred frod-
eriesdor each, have been offered by the govern
ment for the best plan for a house of parlia
ment, the aketohes to be forwarded to the office
of the Imperial Ghanoellor until the’ 15th of
April, 1872.
Rome presents a scene of great oonfusion.
The removal of the capital from Fiorenoe is
complete, bnt official business is still disorgan
ized. The courts of the various ministers are
filled with cases and boxes, and laborers, walk
ing to and fro, are still adding to the piles;
while the officials are absent in search of resi
dences whioh are not to be found. The Roman
population is suffering under the pressure of
this provisional state and the neeoesariss of life
have reached very high prices.
A breath of modern life is beginning to stir
in the city itself. The number of visitors ia
very large this season, end a oontrect with a
company of Genoese capitalists has been con
cluded for the purpose of erecting handsome
buildings in some of the healthiest quarters
whioh are now only ooverod by ruins and fcfeaps
of rubbish of a thousand years.
The Pope still adheres to hia policy of not
making any compromise with the kingdom of
Italy. The French Government bee appointed
two Ambassadors for Rome—Goulard for the
Holy Bee, Haroonrt for the Court of Victor
Emanuel; and to prevent any oollisten between
these two representatives of France, tbe former
is charged with spiritual affaire only, while the
latter has to watch the political internets of his
country. The French papers us Uniunteij

Prospective Cotton Consumpiu,
The New Yoik Commercial and p ^ I
Chronicle in a long editorial, reviews Mq?1
Trnmpler’s Cotton Circular, of afewweefa |
which predioted a heavy surplus npoa ^ I
coming American crop of 3,500,000 bale* r* I
fully considering these estimates, thg(w I
icle thinks that the stock in F~ *
mills, at current rates of consumption yJ
not, at the end of the year, exceed 153^
bales, or only about two weeks and shift* ]
ply. But long before such a redaction of ^
wonld be reached, consumption wonld t* I
edby high prices. Upon the probable "c®. I
sumption, present and fature, the Chroadi I
has those interesting remarks, wh'ch vt»»I
in fall;
Will there be market for the fall proto,
of yarn, by all the machinery now in motion/!
the prices now current ? Looking at the
accuwnlations of cotton goods in the
markets, one is inolinod to predict a fall
in England’s export of them. But, again "u
ing at the rapid and vast increase in the
sinoe 1866, each year marked by prediction:
snoh glut in the East that the follows, j-
must show a reduction, and noting that L
year including the last, has shown, not refe
tion, but an increase in a rapidly progre*b
ratio; and that the accumulation now btirsoa
about tho same proportion to the year’s tar
that it has in the previous years, the
tion to repeat the prediction gives place to a
inquiry for explanation of this newacdwoafe
ful expansion of trade to India and Chiu. 1
has been suggested that the vast population i
those countries, clad chiefly in cotton fsl®
have fonnd it expedient to discard the no
cloth and adopt tbe cotton cloth of Enropf,^
that their ability and inclination to bnythex
ter have been extended by the events of fcj
last few years which bave much enlarged tie
knowledge of and facilities for trade andbasel
with the Western countries. If the sigges*
has good foundation in fact, we have seccbtl
the beginning of a commercial and ecoioe
change that will amount to a revolution. 1W
the hundreds of millions of ootton-wearicgpj
pie of the East depend on Westernspii.d:esc
looms for their yarns and cloth for clothingaf
other uses, the demand so arising will heal
by the use of the staple that best combinesbl
requisites, “cheapest and best,” and that«
be our American ootton and no other. In'
thought reaches into the future, more or 1
distant. We may consider only so mait|
bears upon the present—that is visible orpi
able. There is then no apparent reason li
the Eastern trade shall not oonticue its denis
on England’s factories this year to aa end
nearly or quite up to that of last year, if Kj
arrested by advanoed prioes.
At slight concessions in price the demins:
Manchester becomes aotive. It is reason^!;!
assume that there will be no material decliae:|

tivity which has prevailed during the last lv
years. Then it follows almost of necessity■
if our crop does not exceed 3J million (a'.estl

Economists and statisticians have saitet
of late years of the diminished purchasing

extensions of traffic, in spite of many cheaper

to consider it with reference to the price of::
ton—perhaps because it has been so immecic
ly controlled by the relations of actual or
posed supply and demand. If other coi
itiea of trade and materials for maoufi
industry have appreciated in gold valae
