To moot all tho nowspaper requirements of

Canos —Tho visible supply of cotton last
Fridsy night, reported by the Commercial snd
Financial Cbroninle, ws* 1,058,418 bales, against
I, 353,101 at same date last year—showing an
increase of 305,257 bales. Tho .sale* of toe
week in New York were 12,848 bales-sham sales
91,900, Tho condition of the market is thus
reported by the Chronicle:
Buyers, as s rale, refuse to operate, exoept
lo supply more pressing wants, believing in
lower rate* later on, but holders remain appa
rently confident, being unwilling tomakecon-
—-nl—in to increase business. The confidence
felt in the future of prioee is. a* heretofore,
based upon our diminished crop and the con
tinued Urge consumption j tbo Small receipts
into *t toe Interior ports snd the out ports, with
a small stock available here, and little offering
to arrive, lending considerable atrength to the
position.
And they tell us buyer* will steadily “refuse
to operate," until prices sink to their views or
the crop is demonstrated to be so small that
they can make a concession snd still have their
seven cents margin of profits. Planters rosy
talk about combinations to defeat buyers, but
buyers hsva too long a purso—they can starve
all plantera’ combination* out. The only prac
ticable defence is to get and keep out of debt.
Eel the planter* cotton be a surplus crop, which
esn be stored away on the farm, if neoeaaary,
and aold at option.
Fon Kale.—Tho Savannah Republican, of
Tuesday, publiabta a card from ila proprietor,
J. U. Sneed, Esq., offering that paper, includ
ing newspaper and job office, at private sale,
for cash—bo haring fonnd the duties of the ed
itorial chair and tho tares of proprietorship too
exhaustive of 1 *oth mind and body, and requir
ing a change to soiuo occupation less laborioua
and exoiting. Tho Kepnhlican bns always sus
tained a high rank among Southern journals,
and is tho oldest newspaper in too South, being
now in ila aoventteth year. It has a good pa
tronage, both as its circulation and local and
general advertising, which, l>y a little effort,
may bo largely increased. Tho job office is
well appointed and has a fine custom. Alto
gether, to n man or company with means, a
proper distribution of labor, and go ahead vim,
no 1 >cttcr newspaper prospect is offered.
Wo ahall greatly regret to loio so able, ac
complished, and genial member <?f the brother
hood os is Mr. Sneed, but we wish him a good
sale, and a full-beapeil ineaanro of prosperity
in whatever field ho may select for future labor.
RCPKniitTATlOS IN OEORBU.
A Shocking bklhll,
A fqw days ago we took oeeaaion to remark
upon the chocking and Victoria inequality of the
Bepresentative system in Georgia. Bat toe
subject is so important and timely that we will
devote a few more lines to it, in the hope tost
oar brethren of the press will take it np and
urge it npon toe attention of toe Legislature,
soon to assemble in Atlanta. Upon that Logis-
lalnre and that session the Constitution de
volves the important duty of changing the ex
isting apportionment. Gentleman of tho Press,
let as i nxpend for a lime toe unprofitable de
bate about national platformss and too Const!-
rational amendments, which are wholly beyond
our reach, and address ourselves at once to a
vital point of domestic policy, and toe cure of a
gigantic evil which poisons toe fountain of
State Government.
Tho existing system of representation in the
the popnter branch of onr Legislature is estab
lished in tho following clauses of the State Con
stitution :
“1. The House of Bepresentative* shall con
sist of one hundred and sovenly-fivo Itopreson-
latives, apportioned as follows: 'To the six
largest counties, to-wit: Chatham, Bichmond,
Fulton, Bibb, Honston and Barke, three Repre
sentatives each. To toe thirty-one next largest,
to-wit: Bartow, Colombia, Cobb, Coweta, Clarke,
Locator, Dougherty, Floyd, Gwinett, Greene,
Hancock, Harris, Jefferson, Lee, Mnscogoo,
Monroe, Meriwether, Morgan, Macon, Newton,
Oglethorpe, Palaaki, Bendolpb, S outer, Stewart,
Troup, Thomas, Talbot, Washington, Wilkes,
and Warren, tiro Bepresentative* each, snd to
the remaining ninety-five counties one Bepre
sentative each.
j. The above apportionment may be changed
by tbn Genera] Assembly, after each eenetu by
the Vailed Slatet government, but in no event
ahall the aggregate number of Uepreeentativos
bo increased."
Let us first examine the general effect of this
apportionment, and without cumbering our col
umns with an array of figures in detail, it will
be sufficient to state totals. If any person de
sires to verify our figures we will refer him to
Itainliill in Georgia.
Mr, Jiourdumu rvjwirted to this paptr, n few
days ago, Hint the rainfall in Macon, during the
luomh of September last amounted to eleven
inches and ninety-wix oue-hnndrcdlhs, and toe
fall from 1st January lo 1st October was 51
100Inches. Thesoaro i.urprising figures; bnt
a friend from Leo county nsys that a far greater
amount of rain Ilian this has fallen in South
western Ueorgte. In the course of thirty year*
of observation no Laa never seen ibat region
nearly aa wet as it is now. Tho little pond'
and water courses creasing the roads whicb,
ordinary wet weather, tiro no interruption
travel, are now frtqncntly impassable, and the
earth is so saturated with walcrlbat they do not
subside, but many of them continue to rise.
The whole country is well nigh afloat, and this
at a season of the year ordinarily very dry.
TraaoNM..—Tbo conventions of Good Tem.
plan and Ftrciuen have brought quite a nnm
ber of strangers to oar city, among whom we
were pleased to see in onr office CapL Edward
Bishop and Mayor Renata, of Athens, who rep
resent the gallant fire-fightcra of that good old
town. They both look as if good living was an
every day thing np there, and certainly have
right notions as to what tho situation demands
in order to settle, on s jnst and permanent be
ats, the vexed question of exemption from jury
duty of the firemen of the State. We also bad
a pleasant call from 8. A. Atkinson, Esq., of the
Athens Manner, who is tn route home from
visit lo Savannah. We hope all these gentle
men had a pleasant experience of Mseon yea-
tordsy, and that they will not forget ns when to
a humor to brag on Georgia dties.
Tux Versa Dnioctucr.—We bad the pleas
ure. yesterday, of meeting onr friend Captain
Harry Jackson, of Atlanta, member eleetof the
House of KeprescnUtives to toe next Legisla
ture from Fulton county, and one of too fineet
specimens of the Young Democracy of the State,
to be fonnd within its limits. We are confident
that he will make a splendid record to that body,
and by right divine of talent, pluck, energy and
stainless integrity, come to the front as one of
the representative men of that class into whose
hands the destiny of Georgia must soon be com
mitted. It is of just snob stuff as enters into
his composition, that legislators who will reaone
the Commonwealth from toe plunderers and
conspirators who hare robbed her treasury and
essayed her rain, are made.
Naw FaisrnxxT or Msaccn Uxivxesitt.—
The Board of Trusteee of Mercer University,
convened to Maoon, elected yesterday
President of that Inattention, Bev. A. J. Battle,
D. D., of Alabama. Dr. Battle is a native
Georgian, bora to nanoock county, about forty
years of age, and now occupying tho position
of President of Judson Female Institute, at
Marion, Alabama, having previously filled one
of the Professorships in the University of Al
abama, at Tuscaloosa. He it a ripe scholar—
an accomplished Christian gentleman, and
every way oompetent to flu the high and re
sponsible position to which ho has been
invited.

Mr. L. J. UU1, of Atlanta, was married on
the 28to icst, to Miss Mary Both Henderson,
