Telegraph & Messenger. TUESDAY MORNING. JULY 25, 1871. Getting Ready Tor the Planters. The cotton market began to get ready lor the planters last Monday. It gave way half a cent; and it will be in no wise strange or extraordi nary if its general coarse should be downward, until the bulk of the growing crop has passed oat of the bands of producers into those who are able to hold and who occupy a fair position as traders, which the planters are wholly unable to do. Nor shall we set up any plea of con spiracy, nnderhandod dealing or extraordinary hardship in this case. On the contrary, it is in accordance with the general laws and usages of trade, and in harmony with the uniform coarse of exchanges. Competition among sellers is as certain to depress prices os competition among buyers is to raise them. It cannot be other wise. The men who aro forced to sell must pay for their misfortune in accepting a reduced price. This is inevitable—whether you want to sell houses, lands, horses or cotton. And the more stringent the necessity with you the lower (ordinarily) is the price you must accept. Now in the case of the cotton producers, there are, say, half a million of them holding three million bags of cotton, and eight out of ten of them hard up—must realize just as soon as pos sible. There aro the corn acceptances, and the bacon acceptances, and the mule acceptances, and tho guano acceptances, falling duo hard upon each others’ heels, and “toe must realize.'' Cotton pours in as soon ae picked, and it comos in so fast nobody can imagino how much is behind. There may bo twice as much as any body wants. Cotton buyer gets nervous. Last year, ho says, we were looking for a crop of 3,500,000 bales, and we got one of 4,500,000. This year wo are looking for three millions and wo may get fivo. I tell you, says planter, the crop is going to be mighty short—mighty short. Why, in my neighborhood, we aro not making half of what wo did last year. Yes, says buyer, and what is your neighborhood ? Tho cotton region comprehends somowhat less than tho fourth part of all creation, and from all parts of it, cotton is rushing into market with pro digious fury. I tell you, I don't know whether I can afford to give you ten conts a pound for your cotton or not. Tho mills are overstocked —thero is no demand. I got a letter from my principals this morning telling me it is the best opinion of the Cotton Exchange that tho money market will be heavily cramped to carry the im mense surplus through next summer, and they are in doubt whether it will be safe to buy at over oight cents. I am expecting a telegram every hour telling me to stop buying. Now, more or less of this kind of feeling is an inevitable condition to a crop pouring into market from all quarters, and pressed to sale in hot hasto, without any regard to demand or sup ply, and under the sole impulsion of the ne cessity of converting it into money immediate ly. We ask the capitalists of the world to tnko the risks of an excessive crop—riaks-of long storage—risks of all and singular those casualties by which trade is interrupted and produce depreciated, and they comply with our demands. They do accept these risks, and make us pay handsomely for their acceptance, They accepted these risks on the Georgia cotton crop of 1870, and on about half a million bales, the Georgia planters paid them about twelve or fifteen million dollars for accepting these risks. What is the plain moral of the discourse ? Evidently this: that so long as planters put themselves in the pecuniary straight jacket of debt, they lose not only the exorbitant interest charged on advances, but, worse still, they put themselves into a position where they must compoto with oach other as cotton sellers and stand at the mercy of buyers. Every Fall, so long as all (he cotton producers are compelled by stress of pecuniary obligation to plunge into tho market simultaneously, they must necessa rily accept the fate of all people holding pro perty of which there is abundance, but on which, they are nevertheless compelled to realize at once. Buyers are at full liberty, while they are bound hand and foot. The history of all or nearly all the cotton crops since the war illus trates the almost inevitable result of this con dition of tho parties. The buyers take the profits of the crop. Now, if producers pursued a policy which enabled them to keep out of debt and live upon their own food supplies, there would be no such insano rush to market as wo see from Sep tember to Christmas. Cotton would come for ward responsive to the fair, legitimate demand for consumption. Producers would sell as they saw reason to sell—not alone in their pecuniary necessities, but in the price offered. We should hear far less of those cotton gamblers, the future delivery men. The whole trade would be more regular and systematic, and the results to the planter, juit tho difference between the con dition of a man who is in a perpetual pinch— borrowing money at extravagant rates and then foroing property into market to sell at any price to meet tho debt—and the man who is easy enough to require no borrowed money, and to sell no property unless the price offered invites the sale. Now, in reference to the forthcoming cotton crop, we do anticipate, with much confidence, a fair remunerative price to producers, and this expectation is based, in part, on the impression that the pecuniary strain on planters is muoh less than usual, and that the crop will not be rushed to market in the sauce quipeut fashion of last year. The crop will be moderate—let it show that fact from the start, so that a late discovery shall not enure wholly to buyer’s benefit. Eveet good citizen of Georgia will deplore the proceedings of the lawless gang from Washing ton county, who forcibly liberated Oxford from the Baldwin county jail last Saturday night, is time for the people of 'Washington county to wake up and protect the State and protect them selves from the lawless proceedings of some of their own citizens. Otherwise both will be likely to suffer. A proceeding of this charac ter, at such a time as this, when the Radicals are raking creation for a justification of their oppressive measures, is fraught with the great est publio mischief, and fills all patriotic hearts with intense mortification and chagrin. Nor need the perpetrators hope to escape punish ment. The plea that Oxford must be saved from the consequences of his crime, because the Governor pardons negroes, is a poor apolo gy for such a transaction, and it will be found to be of little avail. Concession* by the Crown orEngland —Abolition ol the sale oi Army Commissions. One by one the royal prerogatives and aristo cratic tendencies of the British Government, are yielding to the pressure of liberal princi ples.” The abolition of the “Rotten Borough” system a few years since, under which one small city or a single university had more power in Parliament than large and populous districts of country, gave tho first blow to the exclusive rights still remaining under the old feudal re gime. Sinoe then, the limitation for life only, of letters patent of nobility conferred for meri torious services, the efforts of Cobden in behalf of free trade, tho modification of the com laws, the diminished prestige of the established church, all have oombined to level the barriers of caste and promote the growth of tho Demo cratic element in that country. Yielding gracefully to the inevitable law of progress, and gathering wisdom from the annals of English history, the Queen has thus managed to retain the affections and loyalty of all classes of her subjects. More recently she has again been called upon to surrender her royal right to issue warrants confirming the purchase of commisssons in the army, and to appease public opinion promptly consented to do so. This has raised a storm among tho Tories, but the wisdom of the con cession is generally conceded. Under the old system of the sale and purchase of military commissions, the spectacle was often presented of a grey-headed, battle-scarred veteran over-slaughod and. ranked by some popinjay barely out of his teens, who had never smelt powder, or even commanded an awkward squad. While this was in a great measure restricted to the sons of tho nobility, the injury was not so apparent, as blood will tell, and these tender carpet knights turned out to be very game cocks in tho battlefield. But something more than courage is requisite in tho formation of a sol dier ; and how could thesetyros plan campaigns, invent stratagems, and execute difficult manoeu vres without even tho semblance of a military education. The matter became oven more serious when parvenues and country bumpkins, by the power of the purse, claimed tho right to officer tho armies of England. As stated above, learning wisdom by the expe rience of the past, the Crown has from time to time to made such concessions to the people as wero deemed expedient and salutary, and the result is, that England now possesses the free- cst, best, and most atablo government on the face of the globe. Would that our (so-called) republic, enjoyed a moiety of her liberty. Visible Supply or Colton. The New York Commercial and Financial Chronicle of Friday gives the following table of cotton in sight at that date the past two sea sons : 1871.

A. Nutting for basket of delicious grapes, plump, ripe and juioy, of the Isabella and Catawba varieties. The bunches were very large and tempting, and the boquet of the fruit which was exquisite, was perceptible at the distance of several feet. There were no rotten or defective berries, and the vine-clad hills of “la belle Franoe” never produced more luscious fruit Thank you, Mr. Nutting, for the next basket. The Pope to Leave Rome—According to London special to the Herald the Pope is on the eve of leaving Rome for the Island of Corsica, and the Italian government have set on foot measures to elect and install a successor so soon as he leaves. This is stirring news if true, but probably it is a mere sensational dispatch. It is hardly probable that the opposition Pope set up by Italy would meet with any adherents out- i ide of that kingdom. 1870. 607,000 26,190 400 151,580 10,100 23,317 50,000 62,000 16,716 452 414,000 126 384 26,326 Total 1,835,751 1,514,465 * This item includes all Indian cotton afloat for Europe, and also all cotton afloat for Liver pool other than American. These figures indicate an increase in the cot ton in sight to-night of 321,286 bales compared with the same date of 1870. The small increase in visible supply on the back of an American cotton orop, showing a good deal npwards of a million bales' excess, is the subject of some discussion among dealers. In their circular of July 1st, as wo see from the Chronicle, Messrs. Ellison & Edwards, of Liver pool, insist that there is a real excess in visible supply of 873,000 bales over 1870, and of 1,- 068,000 over I860. Bnt this they make out in figures, , all of which the Chronicle successfully contradicts,except the estimate of 420,000 bales increase of stocks in the bands of English and Continental spinners, which is altogether con jectural. The total sales for immediate delivery during tho week in New York amounted to-only 13,170. For forward delivery they reached 65,500 bales, including 25,800 for Angust at 19 J to 20J; 24,- 250 in September at 19| to 20 andll-IGths; for October, 4,900 at 18J to 191; for November, 3,900 at 18J tol9J; for December, 3,200 at 18J to 19|; for January, 100 bales at 18}, 400 at 19 oonts.

Proeress In Kentucky. While other States are unwisely multiplying ■their colleges, Kentucky has taken a step in the other and bettor direction. Her old Transyl vania University has been united with the younger Kentucky University, which has been removed from Harrodsburgh to Lexington, where it has secured for a site Henry Clay’s old homestead, Ashland, with “Woodlands” adja cent, together comprising 433 acres of the fin est land in America. The renovated Kentucky University now consists of five colleges, devoted respectively to Arts, Law, Theology, Commerce, Agriculture, and Manufactures. Ithassecnred for the latter the endowment of Public Lauds wisely granted by Congress to Kentucky, in common with her sister States, in aid of in struction in Agriculture and Mechanics, and closed its last term with nearly 700 students. Mr. J. B. Bowman, the Regent, raised by vol untary contribution, the $125,000 needed to purchase the'grounds, and has given years without compensation to its service; and it is mainly through his efforts that its entire prop erty is now valued at $S50,000. Many students support themselves by labor on the farm or in the workshops of tbeUniversity. - Its agricultural department is regarded as equal to that of any Western oollege. Professor Patterson is at the head of this department, while to Regent Bow- I THE GEORGIA PRESS. Captain W. W. HarUfield, of Upson county, died last week. The fat men of Upson county are great swells. They are compelled to approach each other sideways, in order to shake hands. Says the Thomaston Herald, cf Saturday: A Loro Clap op Thtndee in a Clear Sex.— On Tuesday evening when the sun was shining in all his splendor there was unexpectedly heard a loud report of lightning. It was evident from the sound that it had struck somewhere in the town and soon it was ascertained that a shade tree at Judge G. W. Davis’ residence had been riven, and that the electric bolt bad also en tered his gate, there expending itself without further damage. Several years ago, at this same residence, when occupied by the present owner the house was struck by lightning,- passing en tirely through it; aud after selling his residence Judge D. removed to the country, and has re cently repurchased and returned to his old house when it seems that the electric fluid follows his move. A hydrophobio bull dog and a ditto calf, are reported amoDg the Atlanta local sensations. A gentleman named William Bntler, is want ed at Atlanta, by Mr. George Eddleman. Mr. B. drove an ioe cart for Mr. E. and was so chilled by contact with his freight, that he froze to about $45 of Mr. E.’s money. Says the Rome Commercial: Sensible.—A gentleman fanning near the city said the other day that he wonld raise ten thousand bushels of corn this year. On being asked what he,would do with it, he said he sup posed he wonld buy ap all the hogs he could find, and having fattened them, get rich on the bacon he wonld save. The Bainbridge Argus says it is still dry in some localities down in that section, and crops are being seriously damaged thereby. The Ar gus also reports more bilious and intermittent fever in that county than was ever known before. The railroad meeting and barbecue at Lump kin, Stewart county, last Wednesday, must have been a grand success. Speeches were made by Messrs. Hamilton, Tomlin, Barnnm and J. Kimball—the latter letting “out his whole soul in his speech,” according to the local pa per, and causing “regular railroad tears, in their magnificence, to roll from tho noble cheeks of a young man”—which mnsthave been such a moving sight that we wonder the whole audience didn’t go off in a grand “railroad” boo-hoo. Forty-five thousand dollars were sub scribed, which the Telegraph thinks can bo raised to $150,000. We quote as follows from tho Savannah News of Monday: The Late Gould Defalcation—Recent De velopments—Who Bears the Blame and Who Carries off the game ? Closing the Circle.— In the summer of 1870 John H. Gould and E. W. Kendall purchased in Boston a large amount of furniture on credit, which they shipped to this city and opened the house on Broughton street, under the firm and style of W. Kryza- nowski & Co. The company was a merchant of this city, Kendall being employed on a salary. There was no money paid in up to the time the house opened, except S2,000 paid for Gould by another party, to defray the expenses incidental to opening the house, eto. Afterwards Gould paid in $32,000, which was credited to all par ties as follows: to Krjzanowski $G,000, and the balance to Gould and the party already referred to as the company. A short time before Gould left, Krzyzanowski, not having come down with the stamps to cover the amount placed to Us credit, withdrew, leav ing the whole under the control of the remain ing partners. The concern was then sold out to still another party here, whose notes were given to the silent partner, known as the “Co.” for about $24,000, which were subsequently turned over to a merchant on the Bay, who sold ont the stock at auction through Messrs. Bell & Hull, and received the proceeds, so says the last book-keeper in the concern. This acconnts for $32,000 that Gonld did not take away with him. The balance of the $59,000 defalcation, viz: $27,000 it i3 said was also not taken by Gould, bnt by others, as it is expected can be proved. So that after all, Major Gould went away minus, except the money ho borrowed a day or two be fore he departed, to pay bis traveling expenses with. It is said that Mrs. Gould is now in Washington, using her endeavors to obtain promises that her husband will not be prosecu ted if be returns. It is thought she will suooeed, and that the Major will return and make a clean breast of the whole business. The United States Distriot Attorney has received instructions to prosecute two citizens of Savannah as accesso ries to the defalcation. MajorGonldisnow snmmeringat St. George’s, Bermuda, within about four days’sail of Savan nah, where he is enjoying the retirement of which he is bo much in need, beyond the reach of his enemies and the influence of his friends. Further developments in this defalcation business may be made in the examination of the testimony in the case of Clark vs. Gonld, which will be up for trial in the Superior Court to-day. The suit is brought by Colonel W. L. Clark, now Internal Revenue Collector for this district, for money collected for taxes which he remitted to Gould, when he (Clark) was his dep uty at Thomasville, and which he now finds were never credited to him on the books of the office here. - * ■ Storm About Atlanta —A great bail storm and tempest occurred in the region round At lanta last Sunday afternoon, bnt did no great damage to the city. From Marietta down to East Point, however, the Sun reports great de struction to crops. The Sun says: Our readers may think that we exaggerate the fury of this storm near East Point, out we can say truly that tho ground was literally covered for miles with leaves beaten from the trees; and, in many places, the briars and small growth were beaten flat to the earth. Granite.—We learn (says tho Constitution) that the demand for granite, especially Stone Monntain granite, is rapidly increasing. The latter is being shipped to Montgomery, Nash ville, Louisville, St. Louis, New Orleans and other points. It is adding very much to the trade of Georgia. Ice Manufactory.—The True Georgian says tho stock of the new ice company is settling down to $1.50 premium per share, and in eager request. It is furnishing ice at two cents— former price four. i: We clip the following from the Griffin Star: Griffin, IIonticello and Madison Raidboad. Messrs. Taylor and Jones, civil engineers, reached Griffin yesterday, and will start out to-day on a preliminary survey of the new rail road. On next Monday a full corps will be put on the route to run three or more lines. We bespeak for these gentlemen a courteous recep tion on the line, and trust that all the citizens will give every assistance in their power in the way of facilitating the location of the road.

Mr. Hol land, of Box’s District, said the failure of the bottom lands would reduce corn to an average of eight bushels; cotton 400 pounds. Negro crops in all the districts inferior. Sad.—It is sad to think that of all the legions who once swore by and sounded the praises of that renowned statesman and distinguished orator, Ulysses S. Grant, only his own relations and his office-holders remain true. Even those sweet saints of trewly loyl, South-hating and South- slandering sanctity, the Messrs. Harper, book publishers, of New York, who were once suoh persistent trumpetters of hia fame, have been forced to change their tune, and in their maga zine for August, publish the following bitter as sault upon him in the form of an extract from a letter of Thomas Jeffjgraon, in which the wri ter said: The public will never be made to believe that an appointment of a relative is made on the ground of merit alone, uninfluenced by family ’ ws; nor can they ever see with approbation offices, the disposal of which they intrust to their Presidents for publio purposes, divided out as family property. Mr. Adams degraded himself infinitely by his conduct on this subject, bb General Washington had done himself the greatest honor. With two such examples to proceed by I should be doubly inexcusable to err. It is true that this places the relations of the President in a worse situation than if he wero a stranger; but the publio good, whioh cannot be effected if its confidence be lost, re quires this sacrifice. Such base desertion, so malignant an attack upon a former idol has scarcely a parallel in history. We have entirely lost all our faith in human nature. HARRIED.
