OUB BARNWELL LETTER.
The Court—The Grand Jury Dis

Against the Commissioners—W. J.
Whipper—Terrible Storm, &c.
Barnwell C. H., S. C., Sept. 28.
The grand jury brought in a true bill
against the Board of Commissioners
to-day, for official misconduct—ap
proving worthless bonds. All other
indictments against them have been
thrown out by them. Had true bills
been found against them, and an im
partial trial granted unto them, there
is no doubt in the world as to their
conviction; but such was not accorded
them, and they are still allowed to ad
minister the affairs of their office. The
grand jury was discharged from ser
vice this afternoon, thus putting a ter
minus to their annual labors. Many
cases of such nature as assault and
battery, larceny, rape, &c., have been
disposed of, and at the time I write the
jury are confined on the Gray’s Cross
Roads riot case, which lias occupied
the court a day and a half. The trial
of Asa Hazel, for the murder of his
wife, will probably take place to-mor

W. J. Whipper, nigger, of Sinking

and acted accordingly. This distin

has openly avowed, so we learn, that at
the next session of the South Carolina

A Popular Error Corrected.—lt is an
absurd but very common error to sup
pose that a disordered condition of the
liver cao be remedied by a simple ca
thartic. Such is, however, far from
being the case. Cathartics do not
touch the liver at all. It is only when
in the case of Hostetter’s Stomach
itters) the laxative principle is com
bined with tonic and stimulative ele
ments, that the great secretive gland is
directly acted upon. The Bitters,
although sufficiently laxative to re
lievo the bowels moderately, do not
owe their anti-bilious effects to purga
tion merely, but to their power of
rousing the liver from its inaction and
impelling it to secrete and distribute
the bile iu sufficient quantities for the
purpose of digestion and evacuation.
Its effec t upon the stomach and bowels
is such as to ensure the regular dis
charge of the functions named and
prevent abstraction or vitiation of the
biliary fluid—in other words, to secure
entire co-operation with the liver.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE AU
GUSTA MARKETS.
Constitution*list Office, I
6 o’clock P. M., September 24,1875. 1
Remarks.
Another week of improved business is to
be noted, and with it the fulfllment of what
we predicted, viz: a more strictly cash sys
tem, and a general air’ of hopeiulness
among farmers. The trade of Augusta in
cotton is certainly increasing, and the other
markets are what might be termed "on the
fence,” and on our merchants alone de
pends an increase or decrease. This year
more activity has been apparent in mer
chandising circles, and while other cities in
this State are exerting all their power to
influence trade, they command but little
more than must necessarily go to them by
i eason of situation and railroad facili
ties. Such Is not the case with Au
gusta. She now commands a large area
of t ado which her superiority over other
cities gives her, and much more is within
her reach if she will only take the trouble
to show her advantages, which we are sor
ry to say she does not do. Within the last
year the value of real estate has decreased
in nearly every city in the State while here
it has considerably increased, and if such
is the case, when the whole country was
depressed, is it anything but reasonable to
suppose that with a little increased activ
ity and bringing more trade which we can
readily command if the proper means are
used. The value of the city be largely en
hanced, her commercial interests swelled
to greater proportions, and the path
paved for a gradual prosperity which
will defy competition. This is a matter to
which the attention of our merchants is
seriously called, and it b-hooves them to
take the matter in hand immediately, else
competitors will slide in and quietly take
control, and then it will not be such an easy
matter to reclaim what is lost. Property
In Savannah has decreased in value within
the last year over $350,000, which is
astonishing, considering the import
ance of Savannah as a cotton mart.—
The principal cause may be traced
to a decrease In business, and her mer
chants are to a more or less degree
responsible for it, and, of course, they are
the losers. The name of a city abroad, out
side of its local limits, gives it tone, and
when once it is known as a pushing busi
ness place business men flock to it, and
this, of course, gives it a stimulus, and
when once established on this basis it is
not easily demolished. The heavy trade
here for the past week justifies us in sup
posing that our business will be in volume
much larger than last year.
The meat market is firm and unchanged,
with good stocks.
Lard has been firm, but remains un
changed.
The grain market has been very firm and
is advancing. Wheat has been active, and
oats in good demand This market is prin
cipally the life of the Western trade at
E resent, and large quantit es of wheat are
eing imported, as the foreign demand is
greater than last year—consequently we
may look for an ad vance.
The New York Tribune, of Monday says:
About the only noticeable business indica
tion of a favorable character this week is
found in the fact that during the past few
days the receipts of-grain at the lake ports
have been very large, with a more active
movement of breadst uffs toward tidewater,
especially from Buffalo. If the abundant
crops of the West can be set in motion to
ward the Atlantic, and prices maintained
at such figures as will justify the ship
ments of these products to where they are
wanted for consumption, such movement
may properly be regarden as a hopeful in
dication of a return to business activity,
which, as a matter of course, would first
show itself in the larger receipts of some
of our railroad and transportation compa
nies, and thence extend its influence to
general trade .and liquidation.
Flour is firm, with a strict consumptive
emand.
Hay has advanced slightly. The dry
goods market has been very active and the
season has almost fully opened out. Fall
stocks have been received, and the new
styles are very attractive and saleable. Of
the New York market, the Bulletin says:
The Western jobbers have been operating
rather more freely, and a ‘good many or
ders were received from that section of the
country, which enabled the commission
houses to distribute a moderate quantity
of assorted merchandise.
The jobbing trade has been fairly active
with most of the leading houses, arid heavy
sales of prints, etc., were effected at low
figures. The event of the day was a drive
of Gloucester, Hartel, .etc., prints, by
Messrs. H. B. Clallin A Cos., at 7%c., who
closed out a heavy amount of goods at
these figures. The jobbing trade for the
week now closed has been fairly satisfac
tory on the whole, and the large numbor of
buyers now present in the market will
doubtless be stimulated into increased ac
tion by the cooler weather which has at
length arrivod.
The Grain Trade.
[New York Tribune, 20tli September.]
The features of our wheat market the
past week have presented many changes;
at times holders have had a decided ad
vantage under a more active export in
quiry and favorable foreign advices; later
a change in the character of the English
and French advices checked the inquiry,
and prices declined, with much irregularity
in the sales. Ihe rapid decline in commer
cial exchange aud great difficulty experi
enced in placing it, exerting a depressing
influence. All grades of spring advanced
soon after our last 2a3c. per bushel, but
subsequently tins was mo e than lost, and
a very heavy and unsatisfactory feeling
has prevailed; this especially true of soft
spring and winter. Very little of the soft
winter can be used for milliug. and much
of it appears only fit for distilling or for
making into starch, and this certainly is a
poor market for it, as fully one-half of the
old wheat in store is unsound. The quan
tity of wheat on our canal is 959,148 bushels,*
and on the lakes 1,133,991 bushels, and
in warehouses at upper lake ports
1.032,528 bushels, so that the quan-
I tity available for export this and the
; first half of the next month is limited. The
: movement in wheat at the Northwest is
limited, and, with protracted rains there,
especially in lowa and Minnesota since the
20th of August, it is very evident we cannot
market anything like the quantity we did
last j r ear, the crop being three weeks to a
mouth later than last season. The course
; of the market in Great Britain and our own
! has been such the past month as to retard
rather than stimulate shipments to the sea
board, and the season is too far advanced
to count on any considerable supplies at
the close of navigation. Old winter wheat
has been well held, but the supply is limited
and for the present quite adequate to the
meager demand. The new is so soft
that factors find it a very hard task
to dispose of it. Since our issue of the
16th of August we have spent some
three weeks traveling in the Middle
States, and, after a careful examination of
the winter wheat crop, we arrive at the
conclusion that the product in these States
can not be estimated over five-eighths of a
crop, of which fully 20 per cent, has been
more or less injured, and hence we have a
very wide range in prices. Fortunately
farmers hold 10 to 25 per cent, of their last
crop. The situation of the wheat crop of
the world presonts many new and interest
ing features not apparent a mouth since,
and in most locations, we are sorry to say,
they are unfavorable to the crop. The se
vere rains at the Northwest, which com
menced about the 20th of August and con
tinued some 20 days, found fully one-half
of the crop iu the shock, and consequently
much exposed; now the damage to tnat ex
posed is variously estimated, and we think it
safe to say that in Minnesota and lowa one
quarter of that exposed that would have
passed as No. 1 will now inspect No. 3 and
rejected; but there is a wide difference of
opinion iu regard to the damage, which
can only be determined when it comes into
the hands of competent inspectors. At Chi
cago we find out of 2,100 cars inspected
from the 30th of August to the 11th of Sep
tember inclusive, 89 cars inspected No. 1.
1 63 cars No. 2, 2,910 cars No. 3, 875 oars re
jected, and 54 cars as unsound. This cer
tainly is a very unfavorable roturn. The
only State in the Northwest that has a
good crop is Wisconsin; she secured her
crop in good order, and the quality is good,
and the average yield to the acre is
eighteen bushels; and with an in
crease in her acreage of three to four
percent., she will have a liberal surplus;
but it must be remembered sho holds no
old wheat of moment. Iu the Winter wheat
States at the West, Michigan is the only
State that has a fair crop of wheat. In
Great Britain the harvest has progressed
slowly; on the Ist of September nearly half
the crop was in the field, and we find the
estimates of the crop show a wide differ
ence of opinion; on the 27th of August the
estimates of the probable wants of Groat
Britain range from 12,000,000 to 13,000,000
quarters, which is a fearful aggregate; late
advices thence allude to the yield in the
best wheat growing districts as threshing
progress as much below the estimates
made from the 24th to the 27th of August,
so that time only will demonstrate it. At,
present Great Britain holds more wheat at
her principal markets on the coast than
on the Ist of August, and with 9,500,000
bushels afloat for the United Kingdom, En
glish merchants hold off, notwithstanding
the situation is so strong for the future;
with liberal supplies at hand and known to
be afloat they qo not care to anticipate the
market, and iiaye as a rule operated from
“hand to mouth,” and prices have declined,
in which this and continental markets have
sympathized. The corn in France is very
short, variously estimated by intelligent
merchants at 64,000,000 to 86,000,000 hocto
liters; this no doubt will approximate tho
crop, as it will be remembered that the
acreage under wheat wa3 st: *kl last No
vember to be 16 per cent 1 short, the
same having been devoted fo rye and
barley, and it is therefore pl|,in France
has no surplus. The idea’ that sho
holds a largo supply of old wheat, it seems
to us, is extremely improbable, especially
when we take into account the fact of her
very large importations into Marseilles
since February 1, and the large business
there for the interior and S uth of France
at hardening prices. In Germany the crop
is below tho average, with less acreage ana
light vield. In Austria the crop is estima
ted at five-eighths to thro '-quarters of the
average. In Hungary the crop is less than
half an average, quality an I yield consid
ered. Russia is decidedly i short; in
the South sho has produced less than
half of a crop; in the North live
eighths to three-quarters of a crop;
but tiiis estimate is thought to be too high,
ltusfia usually exports 50,000,000 : bush.;
this year this estimate is placed at r fi.0000,-
000 to *22,000,000 bush.; hence, und.rf these
considerations, we regard the fu?r re of
wheat as full of interest. The exports
from this port since our last ha 4; been
330,770 bush., against 832,600 buch. if |e cor

The Course of Cotton.
[New Y T ork Bulletin, September 21.]
So far as actual cotton has been concern
ed, buyers have retained all former ad
vantages and even made a little further
gain; but the previous monotonous down
ward tendency on contracts wis checked,
and one or two slight pulsations of excite
ment shown. Local influences have con
tributed largely to fluctuations on the
speculative position, the general state of
feeling as regard crop, consumption, &c.,
remaining much the same as last week,
though the “bull” side has presented one
or two new “points,” which, if not stimu a
ting, have in some quarters served to infuse
a slightly more cautious spirit and checked
pressure. The Bureau report, though as a
rule construed favorably, is claimed to
show less encouraging features on close
inspection; some few storms have actual
ly occurred at the South, and the cold
weather here guarantees some fears that
the more northern portion of the cotton
belt may be caught by tho frost. The
“bears,” too, have nearly all obtained a
good margin for profit, and this, coupled
with the previously noted indisposition to
rernr. in too largely “short” of the mar-,
kot, induced a goodly amount of covering
and a consequent reaction whenever the
demand became a little sharp. Aside
from the speculative manipulations we
find everything to have been excessively
tame. Exporters handled nothing, the con
sumptive demand fell away, and foreign
advices were, as a rule, discouraging, and
faith in a large and early market crop was
unshaken with a large proportion of tho
trade. In fact, while the tendency seems
to lean strongly toward the belief in a full
supply and moderate, cautious consump
tion of cotton, the shrinkage on values
already established and tho experience of
last year have a tendency to prevent the
formation of a very extensive “short” in
terest.
“ Spots ” have been in very little demand,
and the cost for the week is fully %e lower,
with no great strength shown "at'the de
cline. Nothing whatever was called for on
foreign account, the small amount of stock
required by exporters being secured much
more readily at the Southern ports Hiid on
bettor terms. Tho spinning demand, too,
was very slow and much smaller, the
reduction in cost failing entirely to stimu
late manufacturers into purchases beyond
their most absolute necessities. The main
point of depression, however, has been
the more liberal offerings of new cotton
from pier at rates constantly running %a
%o below those nominally ruling on st eks
in store. Old cotton was to a certain oxtent
most valuable, but desirable selections
proving difficult in view of the broken as
sortment, buyers gave tho preference to
new at the difference In cost. Offerings
have been pretty free both hero and to ar
rive, and it is intimated that considerable
amounts are sure to come forward in time
to meet September contracts.
For future delivery there has been con
siderable irregularity, with at times quite
a feverish tone, and on tho whole a some
what better state of affairs for tho selling
interest than last week. Tho first turn for
improvement was obtained on the hints of
a strong combination to “corner” Septe li
ber, and this month iu consequence at once
strengthened. Then came colder weather
here, reports of storms at the South
and a reduction in the orders to sell,
which carried a reaction into tho later
months, and infused a more goneial
strength into the market, as a general rush
to cover took place. The change of tone,
however, was almost entirely local, few or
ders from the South comiug to hand to
take in contracts, and no purchases being
made for investment that we could learn of
beyond the ordinary operations based
on expectations of a quick turn when
ever the market becomes unsettled.—
Past receipts have continued pretty
well up to expectations Ihe crop re
port from New Orleans, placing the
figures for last season at 3,827,845, will ac
cording to previous understanding with
the National Exchange, bo accepted as of
ficial. We hear little comment, except that
some of the “bulls” insist that it is simply
absurd to look at these figures and expect
the liberal increase of production which
will be necessary to bring the present
growth up to the aggregate clai tned as sure
by so many who seem to have already
forgotten last season’s mistakes.
