' Ibaiptlai Raring ■••in-Krilyal of Tn t ri|Mii> In me loath, 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 ■ales of Kio for the jear, to date.Uj HV * 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. The Gesrfls freaa Oonernllon.

YOnig men, active in, wind kid body, skilled in the method**! samptiug and the proper handling of coltodT'ttiey have made themselves valuable auxiliaries to tie merchants, and by their promptness 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 ceute such way." Tbe brokerage on futures is twelve and a half cetfts each way, nth an additional twelve and a-bal’ cents cn delivery. a OPKRATIONM IN FUTURES. • Tntre seems to beetle opinion cuter taitn-d by mat.y not luliy acquainted wub the operations tin the cotton markotlhat buying mid selling cotton for future d«- liw-ry in a purely speculative operation.

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.

The Agricultural Club of Monroe conuty have passed a resolution endors ing tbe action of the late convention in Savannah, recommending a repeal of tbe merchant’s lien law. On last Monday evening, about seven o’clock, a man named John Jackson was killed between Augusta and the Sand Hills by George Heckle, the Marshal of Summerville, in self-defence. * A war of words between Waterman, of the Ferry Home Journal, and Hancock, of the Georgia Democrat, culminated in Macoo, where Waterman slapped Han cock’s'face, who drew a pistol aud wounded bis assailant severely. The Griffin papers say that Mias Ann Eliza Leak, the armless young Kdy who was raised in that place, wns married a few days Biuce at Chester, Fa., to a Mr. Wm. It. Thompson, of Philadelphia. It is not Btated whether or not Thompson is in the j|iow business, though the Star suggests that inference. 1 The corpß of surveyors of the Sanders- Villa and Tennille railroad entered upon then- duty last wtfek, and up to Saturday afternoon had surveyed two routes from Tennilte, one on the east and the other ou the west cf the wagon road leading to this place.

Kerpectfully yours, Schuyler Colfax. To Messrs. T. S. Atkin?on G. T. Downing, F Do jglass, Jr., J. W. Lebarnes and F. S Bar bados, Committee. 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 In »*»« ''•natw. amuta y and social equality occupied the day with uo results.
