Tito "Folly of Bolstering wp Cotton.’’
We fee copied into tbe Charleeton Courier of
Tuesday, a couple of articles showing what one
of them calls “Ida follg of keeping the cotton
market artificially bolstered up.” One of these
la from Memphis to the Journal of Commence,
dated November Glfc, and la eloquent about the
top crop which la ao prodigious, that estimates
have risen in oonaequenoe, from 2,700,000 to
three aud a half millions of bales, and what is
more wonderful still—plenten are getting thir
ty-taro to .thirty-five pounds of lint from tho
hundred pounds of seed ootton, against twenty-
six to twenty-eight pounds last yesr. The cor
respondent ssys the general estimate of the
crop to Sopor oent less than last year, bnt every
body says Ajj own crop will bo good—leaving
the plain inferenoe that only his neighbor's
crops will ran short at all—and some overran.
Tho next article la from the Now York Eren-
ing Post, and deplores the folly of planter*,
speculators and factors in “keeping the cotton
market artifistaMy bolstered up." Wo trust those
parties will see and confess their sins at once,
and by way of reparation atraitway knock out
those artificial props and bolsters and let the
thing oome down to a satisfactory level. The
Post says the crop will be 8,750,000 bales, and
high prioea will hurry East India cotton to
market through the Sue* Canal till European
manufacturers will become quite independent
of American supplies, and thoroughly dis-
gnnUd.
Wo note these articles in order to follow suit
with the Courier and eoaro plant ora into hurry
ing what little Is left of their eropa forward be
fore it beoomea utterly worthless on their hands,
in order that they may aell off tbe remnant for
eleven to thirteen eenta, and permit the specu
lators to pass it over to consumers with all cus
tomary grace and margin. To buy in the South
at 12) and sell in New York or Liverpool for 25
la a thing settled by precedent to be due to tbe
oiddiemen, and the criminal folly and madness
of people who interfere with this arrangement
by adviee, counsel or co-operation cannot be too
much depreoated by the Southern prints. It is
a clear flying into the fsee of P.-ovidenee. It is
a apeeles of Ku -klnx rebellion which ought to
bo punished by martial law, a known and effi-
coeions remedy in these days for all injastieo
and wrong doing in polities or finance. Let
•very planter abjure this folly—and hold on to
his ootton till be gets ready to sell it. Wo have
given him warning. Let him see his danger.
When these journals quoted by the Courier
raised their “warning voice" on the Cth instant,
middlings were 18} eenta in New York, and
now at tbia lima of writing they are only 19
eenta. Don't yon see the folly of “Matering
upt"
Tima bagivlog—No l*n|ier To-morrow.
Combined authority, State and National’
having decreed a religions fostival to-day, onr
offioe will he closed, and no paper be manufac
tured for to-morrow morning. The next iasne
will be on Saturday. Meanwhile let ns main
tain a cheerfnl oompoanre and grateful hearts,
that affairs are no wone with ns than they are.
Borne Old Grumbler will ask—bow oonld they
be worse? Shot np, yon old Turk, and we will
tell yon. If yon were in one of those North
western States—with yonr shops, mills, honae,
fnraitnre, clothing, provisions, all burnt np—
half of yonr family destroyed, and yon with
your hair singed off—yonr right arm burnt to
a crisp—yonr back in a blister, and lying on the
snow without blankets and the mercury thirty
degrees below ssro, yon wonld be in a worse
condition than yon are now.
A Sr Asian Wab Bchi>lx appears to have been
blown from Grant's pipe yesterday. A cabinet
meeting was ealled, and a teat demanded of
Robeson's iron pots which wonld stand salt
water. Grant langhed at the pitiful array, not
withstanding more ia spent on the navy in one
yesr, now-a-days, than nsed to be spent on it
in three, some yean ago. Nevertheless they
pioked ont a few of the least maty and sent
them down to scare the Spaniards, if they Boat,
or the crabs if they go to the bottom. P. S.
One of tbe conditions of “a continued good un
derstanding with the beat government the world
ever haw” is understood to be a boons lo the
administration of 50,000 regalias free of export
daty. Something, too, was said abont brandy;
bnt tbe President wisely remarked that Spanish
brandy was poor stuff—far inferior to St. Lonia
copper distilled, to say nothing abont tbe Frenob
stores laid in by “my friend Murphy,” which
are as yet far from exhausted. When Fish heard
that, he said he withdrew the suggestion; bnt
•till, in his judgment, supplies should be kept
np to the swimming point.
To Taxi a Rxcass.—We learn from a special
to the Chronicle and Ssutmel of Tuesday, that
the Demooratio legislative cancas at Atlanta
the night before, after a prolonged discus
sion of the qneetton of adjournment, adopted
by a vote or 44 to 39. a r(eolation to take a re
eeaa on the 5th of Draember, to the 17th of
January, and then to meet to inaugurate the
Governor and wind np the unfinished busi
ness—members to reeeivo no per diem daring
the reoeee, or mileage for going or returning.
We did not see any mention of this motion in
the Atlanta papers of Tuesday, bnt take it for
granted it is correctly stated. And wa offer onr
congratulations upon the very tonnd and
patriotie view taken by tbe members of the per
diem and mileage questions.
Tax Tana Onion* or ia Great Fix*.—A
Chicago dispatch of tbe 25th nit, says that
from evidunoe taken before the Fire Commis
sioners the day before, it was ascertained that
Mrs. O'Leary's cow was the cause of the great
fire, although that lady had no more responsi
bility in the matter than was afforded by her
ownership in the oow. It appears that her
friend and oo-tenant, McLaughlin, the fiddler,
had a social time that evening, and wishing to
cook a faw oysters for the social crowd, and be
ing short of milk, went for Mrs. O'Leary’s oow,
and while engaged in surreptitiously obtaining
the lacteal fluid from the butte, she became in
dignant at their dishonest practices and kicked
over the lamp, hence the great conflagration.
TnoMAixun.—Mr. McMichael, of the Thom-
•ston Herald, was in the office yesterday, and
we were gratified to learn from him that Thom-
aston ia improving with unexampled rapidity.
Numerous valuable business houses and dwel
lings are in oonne of construction—town prop

There ia no question on the subject other than
what can be raised by more purblind self-inter
est. Tbe ten commandments are not more pre
cise and un mis take at la than the Constitution on
this point; and so is tbe line of public duly.
We most follow it ont, calmly and temperately,
and if Federal authority be interposed to act
at nangbt the authority of the Oani.titution and
the rigbta of tho people, let it be so. It will add
one more and the worst to the illustrations of a
rampant, law-defying Federal tyranny which are
now beginning to alarm and arouse the people
in every part of tho Union. We propose simply
to follow ont to the letter the rights and reme
dies provided by law—ao far as the Federal sd-
ministration permit* ns to do so.
In relation to candidates before tbe nomina
ting convention, rnmor names Gen. Wofford,
Speaker J. Milton Smith, and Colonel Herbert
Fielder as the most prominent candidates. Hid
we any disposition to back either against the
others, it wonld perhaps be unfair to use a
journal of the circulation and inflnenoe of the
Txx-xoxapx for that purpose. Onr correspon
dents are wanning np in their behalf, and we
prist to-day a firry denunciation of ex-Governor
Brown, who ia charged with holding an impor
tant controlling influence on the question of
selection. We say, in all truth and candor, if
ex-Govemor Brown is seeking to oontrol Demo
cratic counsels on this or any other point, we
have no evidence of tbo fact in poaussion. Let
every candidate stand upon his own merits and
claims, and 1st ns have a fair nomination. If
tbs Tele-i rapn were going to advocate either,
the writer would be tempted to strike a blow for
tbe great Southwest in this controversy, a sec
tion which bss never yet been honored with a
gubernatorial nomination, and which we are
informed will unite in presenting CoL Fielder—
a candidate who does them honor in respect to
every qnalifieation for the office. Bat we will
not enlist for any candidate. We bid all a fair
-i...— an a a tilt in true knightly honor and
eonrtesy.
Whoever is nominated, will, no donbt, ran
without opposition—in the first plaoe, because
be coaid not be beaten, and secondly because
Conley's role is to contest the election as un
constitutional. Under ordinary circunstanees
an election without a contest would bring ont
few vote*. Bnt here let the people reverse all
precedent and poll as large a vote as possible.
Tbe failure to vote will be plead as an absence
of popular sanction to tbe election, and efforda
new pretenoe for disregarding it Let the peo
ple torn ont, therefore, and inaugurate tbe Era
of Reform, Pablie Accountability and Official
Integrity in Georgia with tbeir fullest sanction.
Montgomery Illair on llte Sllnutlon.
Tbe Herald has interviewed Montgomery Blair,
Postmaster General nnder Lincoln, on the po
litical situation. Blair says there has been no
national element in polities for ten years—that
they era now nothing bnt sectional domination,
under which tbe Sonthern States are sinking
into the oondition of Ireland, and pnblio men
are degenerating into “commercial adventurers.
That is piiby and tree. He says that Lincoln was
apprehensive of just such s state of affairs
Grant is nothing bnt a soldier and his idea of
government is simply that of a osrnp. He ia no
Republican at heart and caroa only for power.
Blair says he was in favor of offering Grant the
Demoentie nomination in 1868, and Grant
would have taken it, if be had not been anre of
tbe Republican nomination. Grant coquetted
with him and fooled him. But he has fooled the
representative Republicans still worse—tamed
his back on them all in favor of nobodies wbo
represent nothing. Blair ssys Grant is an ig
norant man, wbo never takes any pains to in
form himself, or aceept information from others.
He boasted to Blair that bo did not know any
thing abont books, and “had never read a book
in hit life.”
As to his chance for re election, (says Blair)
Grant is very strong; has a mysterious bold on

ate to order at tho usual hoar.
Fraver by Rev. Mr. Warren.
Tbe joarnal of yesterday was read and ap
proved.
The special ord- r of the day ”■* taken np.
It ia: ,
A bill to incorporate the State Agricultural
Land Grant Board, and for other purposes.
This bill provides for the establishment of two
agricnltorel colleges, one at Deblonegs, the
other st Mi'ledgeville. in pnnnani e of the set
of Congress donating 270.000 seres as a foun
dation for the schools, and constitutes tbo re
spective presidents of tbe colleges, with the
Executive Committee of tbe State Agricultural
Society, a board for the selection, care and dis
posal of the lands so granted.
Mr. Brnton offered as s substitute, s bill
whieb makes the Georgia State Board of Edu
cation, as now constitutes the Board for the
care and selection of these lands, and that this
Board shall report to the General Assembly,srith
whieb the final disposition of tbo lands shall re
main.
Mr. Clark said the benefit of the bill ought to
be enjoyed in common by both races ana con
tended that Congress designed tbe donation for
the benefit of all citizens Indiscriminately.
Campbell offered an amendment: Always
provided tbe benefits of tbe fond shall be divi
ded equally between all students, without regard
to raoe, color or previous oondition.
Mr. Brown offered an amendment to the sub
stitute, appointing the Governor, President of
the Senate, Speaker of the House, Presidents of
the Agricultural Colleges, and Hon. E. Stead
man, as a board for the purposes indicated by
the bill.
Mr. Hinton spoke in favor of the snbatitnto
of Mr. Brnton on the ground that the fund
should first be received and made subject to the
control of the State before it is disposed of.
Mr. Brnton called the previous question.
The amendment of Mr. Brown was losl.

pointment of a joint oommittee of one from tho

aid from Congress for tbs oorat motion of a
canal to connect the water* of Ihe Mississippi
withthe Atlantic cnteio, wi.srcuk
Mr. Jackson mo rod to emend by adding the
superintendent of Pnbhe Wuiks.
Messrs. Bryan sod McMillan thought it nn-
beooming in this great Stale to send men to
Washington to lobby a measure through. They
favored leaving the matter in the hands of onr
Representatives there.
Messrs. Jackson and W iff .rd, of B irtow, did
not think that these parties were to art as lob
byists, bnt that, owing to tbe magnitude and
importance of the work, all available manoeuvres
for its success should be adopted.
Mr. Griffin, of Houston, also advocated the
adoption of the resolution, and explained some
of the great advantages to be derived from tbe
He has also a bold on the Methodists. He
thinks Bishop Simpson the greatest man in the
world, and tbe Methodists, being somewhat sec
tarian, have abont the same opinion of Grant.
He ia a protectionist, and all tbs tariff men go
for him. He is a jobber, and tbe railroad mon
opolies support him. He appeals directly to
the selfish Interests of man. The National
banks and office-holders go for him. Tbe real
Republican party is against him. He hss snub
bed and denounced them, and they are his most
formidable opponents.
As to what ought to be done, Blair gives the
following counsel:
There most be some sacrifices made to de
feat Grant. Tbe Demooratio party is taunted
srith sectionalism, and this foot alone ahonld
keep it, aa an organization, ont of the next
Presidential canvass.
The war spirit is not dead yet, and this name
alone is hated enough to manufacture hundreds
of thousands of Radical votes at s day’s notice.
This sectional clamor is a thing that most be
killed now. It trill always be forced into exis-
tenoe in the presence of what haa popularly
oome to be known as the Sonthern party. Let
the Democratic party, as an organization, stand
back, and let the field be kept clear to the dis
affected and independent Republicans.
The Missouri programme suits me. There the
Radicals were defeated through this kind of co
operation. Let the Radicals call tbeir conven
tion and sofuinste Grant, and then let the in-
dependent Repnblieans bolt and nominate who
ever they please and then the Democrats tally
to his support.
The Democrats are fast coming np to this,
have reason to know it has been nnder con
sideration for abont a year, and meets with
littis opposition. I met 8enator Cssserly
yesterday. Hs warmly approves this polioy.
Senator Stockton sands me word bo approves
it. Bob Onld ana Wade Hampton advocate it.
There are about half a dozen, either of
whom wonld be a formidable anti-Grant can
didate. My personal preference is for William
Collen Bryant. Then there are Trambnll,
Judge Davis, Gretz Brown, Senator Sumner,
Jndge Ranney and eDSsexetary Cox, of Ohio,
and in spite of his tariff proclivities, Mr.
Greeley.
The Germans wonld vote for a Demoorat be
fore they wonld support Grant for snothsr term.
Onr American people feel that they are over
taxed, and that, too, in the interests of tbe mo
nopolies. The revenue reform movement is
one of great strength, particularly in tbe agri
cultural districts It may be said to bold the
balance of power, if it oonld only be ooneentra-
ted. Then there is an increasing alarm at the
encroachments of railroads. These oo
lions in some esses own entire States. There
Maryland, which is completely in tbe hands
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Although
the Legislature there is Demoentie, this com
pany sbsouliely dictates legislation, and buys
and sella the members. Both Demoentie and
Republican States are in tbe bands of these
grasping and merciless corporations. The peo
ple nerd a change t.f policy on this subject, and
that can be guaranteed by neither of tbe exist
ing parties. That wonld be a distinctive iasne
to go before tbe people upon. I look at the
newspapers as sore criterions to go by on this
view. Newspaper men are proverbially shrewd,
and never do anything without a purpose, or
without feeling pietty aura of their ground.
The press all over tbe oonntry is rebellious, and
is demanding that party shack! ee be thrown off.
of these papers, like the St Lonia Bepub-
Cincinnati Enquirer, the Yolksbladt, the
Weatiiek Poet, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago
Times and the New York World, although widely
at vArianoe in politics, stiU breathe the uniform
desire for reform. This coincidence has a won

be ashamed of such a whopper as tbe following:
Squirrels are selling at ten cents a bushel in

Being the owner of hair even more terrifically
pink than his is no excuse for snch trifling with

J. J. Clay, of Macon, and James Douglas, of
Griffin, have letters held for postsge in the Sa
vannah office.
Mr. A. F. Bennett, aged 60 years, look the
preminm of a handsome cane with a gold bead
for “the best old gentleman equestrian” at the
Savannah Fair on Monday; Mr. H. L. Stubbs,
for tbe best yonng gentleman ditto, and Miss
Gertrude Keller for the best femsle ditto.
On Monday afternoon an old gentleman named
McKenzie, who was coming to Augusta on the
Charlotte train, was swindled ont of $75 by
cal Lie Stamped Ont.
One of the current charges made by the pros
tituted newspapers whose editors tick Grant’s
boots and sustain him in all his infamous as
saults upon the Democracy of the South, is one
that tbe white people and so-called Kn-klni of
npper Sooth Carolina have systematically shot,
hung and scourged the negroes of that section
in order to keep them from voting tho Radical
ticket. This is all a lie, of oonrae, and so a cor
respondent of the Herald, now in that section,
has reoently taken tho pains to prove by Radi
cal figures. He copies from tbe official State
returns as printed at Colombia nnder the super
vision of the Radical officials, and this is the
way tho negroes have been “intimidatedIn
1868 the total Radical vote of Fairfield, Chester,
Spartanburg, Union, York, and Lanrens dis
tricts—where martial law now rales—was 7,835.
In 1870 when all the “intimidation” was prac
tised, it was 14,102. Now, how was it with tho
Democratic vole in thore years in the same dis
trusts. In 1868 they polled 10,290 votes; in
1870 9,894 votes. This wonld seem to fit the
‘•intimidation” boot on the other leg, as in these
six rebellions and insurrectionary counties the
Radical vote increased 6,267, while the Demo
cratic vote decreased S95.
Bat this is not tlL The correspondent shows
that in 1870 there were over 1,600 more votes
polled in these districts than there were voters
—the excess ail going to the Radicals. In
Lanrens district, for ins tan oe, there were 4,170
voters and 4,988 votes cast in 1870, the gain all
being one way. The correspondent thus con
cludes upon the intimidation hnmbug:
The faot is here evident that neither the Ku-
klnx nor anybody else intimidated the Radical
voters in these “insurrectionary” counties. It
was well known to the whites that any attempt
at intimidation wonld be utterly futile. Had
the Democrats any part in the counting of the
vote* there would be some sense in trying to
frighten;voters. Bat they are as nobody in the
State. All the Election Commissioners are ap
pointed by tbe Governor, and every mother’s
son of them was a Radical. The returns show
that gross frauds were perpetrated by the Radi
cals. In Spartanburg county (which yon will
perceive was carried by tbe Democracy) an at
tempt waa made to put the Demooratio candi
dates for the few offices stiU elective in the mi
nority, by throwing ont a sufficient number of
preoinota heavily Demooratio. Tbe rogues were
canght and their rascally attempt defeated. W.
H. Fleming, the Trial Jnstice, of whose exploits
I have written yon, was one of the Eleotion
Commissioners. When rebnked for this rascal
ity he replied that he had been instructed
by the State canvassers at Columbus to
return the Radical candidates elected at all
hazards. I do not mean to insinuate
that the frauds in Chester, Fairfield and
Lanrens counties were perpetrated by

We quote tho following items from the At

Hkobd Final.—We learn that old msn Lewis,
who escaped from Fulton county jail the other
night, hss been heard from. He went to his
home in Ct .yton connty. He was shot in the
arm by Frank Kimbro, guard at the jail, juat aa
he was getting out. He had hia wound dressed
and took to the woods again?
Fixe.—About half-put twelve o’clock jester,
day, as Mr. W. R. Faillipa, Jr., stthe store of
W. R. Phillips, Jr., Jb Co., on Peachtree street,
was opening a box filled with torpedoes, sky
rockets and other fire-workr, a torpedo exploded
and set fire to th - balance of the fire-works.
The pyrotechnic display w.s very exeiling for
several minutes. Wheels gyrated, rockets flew
in all directions, aud torpedoes kept np a con
tinual racket like tbe sound of “many skir-
l" The store in front presented tbe ap
pearance of having been swept by a storm of
fire, charred, blackened and grimy. Tbe dam
age to the goods in the store, with the loss of
the fire works, was some $400 or $500, folly
covered by insurance. Eight panes of heavy
French plate glass in the front door was des
troyed, veined at $525, folly insured.
The Atlanta Sun, of the same date, rays:
Star Road Thiols.—Yesterday the case of
James Mullins was called, bnt the trial postponed
on account of the dangerous illness of his wife.
The esse of W. D. R. Millar wu called, bnt
postponed on account of tbe sickness of hia
mother, whose recovery is said to be doubtful.
The esse of N. P. Hotchkiss was called, bnt he
was not ready for trial—alleging the absence
