No more encouraging iign of tbe re
. turning prosperity and brightening pros
pects of the people of the South could
be presented than in tbe revival of the
sports of the turf, once so dear to every
Southern heart. This is the first season
in twelve years during which a large
cumber of brilliant and successful meet
ing! have been held south of Masou ana
Dixon’s line. The meeting at the Me
tairie Course, New Orleans, was the in
auguration of the season, SDd fob a week
the beauty and fashion of the Crescent
City held high carnival and enjoyed the
exhilarating scenes which are insepara
ble from well conducted races. Close on
the beela of the Metairie races came the
meeting of the Louisiana Jockey Club at
their own course, the first meeting of thi.
association since the war, and it was a
brilliant success, no less than sixteen
thousand spectators beiog present on the
sixth and last day.
A live days .meeting of the Chickasaw
Jockey Club, et Memphis, Teun., was
the next event in order, and was scarcely,
less brilliant than either of its predeces
sors. Tbe next meetings of importance
during tbe present month will be those of
the Kentucky Association, at Lexington,
Ky., end of the Nashville Blood Ilorss
Association, at Nashville, Tenn. This
revival of turf sports in the south will
tend to increase the brilliancy and suc
cess of the meetioge in the north, es
pecially the one which, above all others,
interests the people of New York —
namely, the spring meeting of tbe Ameri
can Jockey Club, commt-ncingmt Jerome
Park on the Ist of June. Wemayliow
expect a friendly rivalry between tbe va
rious clubs iu the aooth every Mason and
the popularity of turf sports iucreased in
proportion.
OoflVn »il Tea.
1 Appearances indicate that notwith
standing breakfast bill,” people
during the next year will be compel 1 and
to pa; a good prioa for their coffee and
tea. The atocki of coffee are reported
light at all the distributing points. J *'he

been 74,619 bags, againstiiß,o7o for the
same lime last jear, a MHing off of over
65 per oeot. Blocks, consequently, are
all in importers' bands, being 192,166
bags, against 4b,036, though the aggre
gate receipts for the past site months are
twenty per cent, below that for the same
time in 1871. These facts hare strength
ened holders, while goods in bond have
advanced slightly. All other grades of
coffee also are in demand, and command
full rates. Teas are exoited, and holders
daily advance their pretensions. Stocks
are about ten per cant, below those c f
last sesson, but tht ratio of choice tl ivors
is much larger. Before the duly was
taken from teas, prices were quite tl a ;
but now bnyers have discovered that quo
tations have strengthened.

brokets perform no unimportant pert.
YOnig men, active in, wind kid body,
skilled in the method**! samptiug and

made themselves valuable auxiliaries to

aud energy control a large ana prob able
business Tbe brokerage on spot codon
is generally twenty-five cents per bale,
payable to the broker by both seller and
buyer, or, as it is termed, “ twenty-fire

a OPKRATIONM IN FUTURES. •
Tntre seems to beetle opinion cuter

liw-ry in a purely speculative operation.
Ills is not entirely for the ope

to both planter mid manufacturer. For
itstancs. when the plunter finds that his
cotton plants have made a good “stand,"
mat is wlien thi-y.ari- high enough above
ground to enable him to estimate tbe
probable number of bales ht will raise,
ite telegraphs to his broker in New York
to sell so many hundreds of bales for de
livery in such a month and at a certaiu
price. The broker sells it on the l‘ix
ohange, contracts are duly signed, and,
if required, a margin is paid on both sidesfe
. td Si cure the fu fill men! of the contract.l
The planter’s mind is at rest; his cat *
tou is Oupcued of even before it is ready
to Jiick. The prices yeslerduy for futurds

can always know market rates,
aocLif his cotton wilHftu fie t»-Ai tj

on fk-2d of day ■ i. u'»te»a of wail
-111, until Ocuitnr aud meeting the risk of
a, iiug at Inarm price,, the system affords
him the opportunity to do sow. On tha
other lide iH the manufacturer He can
not make uoniiacts his line of
g.j.ds for mote than two months in ad-
ViSico unlres he in sure that he can buy
the raw piateriul at certain rates. Hut if
Hie , merchants want to close a contract
with him in the spring for every yaht] of
guods his nulls Cun manufacture* until t be
end of Dvoember, and the manufacturer
can buy forward deliveries at certain
rates, as given above, lor every month,
there is un agreeable certainty in his
mind of the profit he can tnuke. , •
This system is thoroughly understood
by lbs simmers abroad, especially those
who make large contracts for India goods,
and the foreign dealers make their pur
chases by cable through the Exchange iu
New York. Anoth'er feature of the
method of business is that if cotton is on
hand in May, with tbe price at 22 cents,
au4.not required for useiiDlil November,
the owner can immediately realize on it
and still provide against the requirements
of November by purchasing for delivery
then, say at 19§ cents. He thus avoids
the expensee of Btorage, insurance,
shrinkage, Ac., and obtains the udvautage
of the difference in the prices.
It is a rule of the Exchange that cotton
delivered ou contracts shall class at
least from good orainary to good mid
dling. Nothing below that is a legal ful
ti lun*nt of the contract. Another rule of
tne Exchange sayß : ‘ No bole of cotton
weighing Te,s than 300 pounds shall be
deemed merchantable, and any buyer
may refuse to receive the same."
TUB BULI.BTINB.

four feet wide by six feet high, that can
be raised or lowered in their frames to

the V*ce President was read :
Vice Pee£id*!it’B Chambrr. )
Washington, Mlv 7. f
Dear Sir:— Bayi g v,-te recantly in the
Se ia*e upon tbe question of civil right*, to
wiich yon re r er, I need not make an extended
atttement as to my views upon it, for actions
always speak more loudly than mere wort-i;
bat if that vote needed j uetificatlnn, ai it doee
not, the tritelliog experience of your delegate
to tbe National Colored Convention at A(ew
Orlesns, as de ail'd by Fred Douglass, Sr.,
i j the National Era, would be ics fullest vindi
cation.
Xf orderly, sober citizens of the United States,
reflected by Ps constitution to equality under
tbe law, cannot obtain so and an 1 lodgings at
public hotels like the rest of mankind/or even
accommodations on railroad trains after pa ing
first clasi fares, we should either acknowledge
that the cjniti u’ion is a nu .i y, or should in
sist on that obediecce to it by till and protec
tion under it to All, which are alike tbe right
and the duty of the humblest as well as the
most influential throughout the land.
Kerpectfully yours,
Schuyler Colfax.

The Committee on Naval Affairs will hold a
meeting to morrow night to arrange the : r bmi
nees. previoui to asking the Huu e to set ns de
an evening next week for the consideration of
the various bills already prepared by them, but
which they have not yet had an opportunity of
reporting 10 that body. Among theee mea-uris
i* a bill providing for the construe ion of ten
steamers, as suggested by tht Committee on
Foreiga Aflairs, and apart from any recom
mendation of tbe Secretary ol the Navy in his
anLUil report Not only tbe Committee on
Naval Affairs, but distinguished officers of tbe
navy, heretofore consul :ed by the com *. ttee,
together with the Secretary of the Navy, are
fully informed as to the necessity of an efficient
navy, as our present force is inadequate for ex
teaded service in ca*e of an emergency. Be
sidf h, it is said among public men that our re
lationa with Spain are of such a character as tu
suggest preparations not looking to war, but
t > tbe protection of the righ sos citizens of
tho United States.
It is known that oar minister to Madrid wilj
soon bo withdrawn, and no successor appointed
until, as was recently said by a high executive
officer, Spain shall be more disposed then she
is mm to act with justiceuand according to her
treaty obligations. Although war is not re
garded as even probable, there is an increasing
de?ire that our navy shall be placed in an efii*
oient coLdition, and therefore the authorities
here may. before long, hsue orders to the sev
eral navy yards to place all our available ves
sels in a seagoing condition.
lhe United States and Spanish Claims Com
mission, althouih organized more than six
months ago, have as yet decided no cases, there
being delays in consequouce of the difficulty in
ptocuring proofs. The Uoitei States have
proposed that mods of settling ola ms of oiti
zens of the United states growing out of the
rebellion in Cuba, and there can be no di»a
greement on this point, but there are other
questions, including that pertaining to Ir.
Howard, which may cause further irritation,
aud giveoocaaion for a more determined polioy
towaids Soaia.
The Court of Claims yesteiday decided six
teen cotton cases, aggregating awards to the
ainouat ol $353.7J9. iwo of theje claims had
been appealed to the buprein* Court, but tbe
decision £>*ing uveriulod, they were sent back,
►ad judgment rendered In pursuance of the
opinion us tae higher court. One of them wag
the Carroll case, involving over S93,OUu, and the
other $43.0U0. From the decision of the
Supreme Court, it is inferred that acts at the
time of the seizure of cotton are a controlling
element to determine the dispjstlion Os
ths property, and the statute i) to be tntu con
strued. namel> : Where the property was cap
tured during the lifetime of decedent, then the
evidence oi his loyalty is »ufli 3ient to maintain
hut when the seizure was after admin
istration. then the loyalty el the decedent is
and tho right to inaiutuin action
.depends upon the loyalty of tbe adaiimatrator

as an amendment by Colhx’s easting vote,
several amendments modifying oumner’s
amendment were defeated b/ Colfax's vote
ahe bill, as amended, finally failed. This
brought the House bill again before the Sen

Colfax again voted aye. Morton renewed his
amendment, reqairiLg persons applying for
amnesty to swear that they were not Ku A lux
