then? The borrower receives the net

to 10 2-12 per cent, per annum for tne aver

appointed by t,he Atlanta directors, nut, so

COTTON. !
Supply end Consumption Current
Estimates Possibly Misleading-.
The English authority, Mr. Ellison, esti
mate* the total requirements of Europe and
the United States for 1883-’OO as about 440,-
000 balsa, of 450 pounds average weight over
the preceding year. As this amount just
about covers the popular estimate of the
increase in this year’s crop, the opinion is
frequently ex treated aud widely circulated
in the newspapers, and otherwise that the
cotton market i* statist,caliy in a strong
position, and that prospects favor higher
prices later on.
Taking the above figures as correct's© far
as they go, let us see if they furnish any
r easonable grounds for inducing the south
ern planter to believe t.tat he will get a
better price by holding b ick hts cotton, an
article of faith he is usually only too willing
to adopt, and generally to bis sorrow.
A moderate estimate of the increased
vupply from India and Egypt could scarcely
be less than 140,01/) bales, averaging 400
rounds. This would leave 300,000 bales, re
ducing to our average weight say 250,000
bals, to be supplied by our increased crop.
Guesses of our present crop seem to aver
age between 7,300,000 and 7,500,000; it is
quite superfluous to point out how impos
sible it is at this season to estimate the
actual result w-ith anything like certainty.
Experience has shown that the leading au
thorities (without exception) have in reernt
year* missed the mar/ by amount* some
t.me* approximating a million bales. In
fact, nothing else can bo exjrected, for on a
crop of say <,000,000 bales an error of only 7
per cent, would make a difference of about
a half million bales. Therefore, the writer
will not assume any definite figure at all for
the present crop, but will only adopt tho
view generally hold, that it will exceed all
previous years, how much must be decided
later.
The matter concerning which we should
mainly direct, our attention instead, is
whether Mr. Ellison .> estimated increase in
consumption will or will not require
250,1"J0 bales moro from us than last year—
that is, a crop of, say 7,200,000 bales. In
Li* calculations he s-enis to have made uo
allowance f-.r a very import&ut considera
tion, that is the difference in quality be
tween this crop and the last. Handlers of
cotton, men grizzled in the business, say the
lost crop was the poorest they ever saw; the
loss by waste was very great. On the
other hand, this crop is of excellent quality,
and it is estimated that an average 100 bales
of this cr p will go as far as 105 of tbe last.
1 his is not by auy means merely an imag
inary difference; it is as real as a cor
responding increase Iu bales, anil means the
foul valent, of about 350,000 bales of entton.
This being the cos ;, the world will have
enough cotton, with eveu a smaller increase
from India and Egypt thau estimated
abi >ve, to supply ttie estimated increased
requirements, oven if our crop is no larger
tha.u last year. Almost everybody con
cedes it will bn larg r; there is no sort of
assurauco that it will not boas much as 10
l>er oent. more. It is folly to sneak of
estimating such a yield within less than 5
per cent. at. this timo of the year.
Taking these considerations in view, wo
can see no sufficient reason for holding
back cotton in expectation of tuturo hizher
prices. They are very doubtful, to say the
least, and present prices are high enough
to leave no just cau-.e for complaint.

Tir-i rep.."ter. 'Tisr teexs to bs an
errone:us impression in Mis country that
the interna", troubles in Brazil are the out
come cf the Lberatioa of the sisv es. Nstb
;rg could be farther from the
truth. The emperor's action in the
emancipat-on of tne §Hves was
n :t a one a popular meevure. but cue w'airh
caused to be showered upon the
emperor cot only f ox within tne empire,
! but else from foreign countries. It must
b* remembered that Brar .ms are almost
coc-.nnaliy traveling. In fact, th* e Itby
Braz. ..ao may be sa.d to be never so thor
cugn.y content as wnen he is on ha way
fr.rr. rto his native land. Peorie of t-.is
na: cnal cha-*ctnri*'i' are greatly inff i
enced by tneir immediatr ennronmsQts,
a a tney are very susc-ot. n*e to the opiu
i.ns cf" foreigners. Ten-, because tne
eo-peror is so higniv re-pected outs.de of
his domain, he is doubly beiovei w.tnia.
“The actual reason of tnis uoris.ng is tne
ir.fiuecce exerted b 7 the daughter of the (
emperor and ber hastnad, Comte d’Ex |
Tnere ha: been for a oons.deraole time a
religious and an anti-cieneai party at court
and among the people. The church seems
to be putt.ng forward all her energ.es to
secure control of Brazil, and the older
families ard the crown princess are aiding
the priests in every way in their pooler.
Tne literals, however, woo are in a deefied
majority aod woo are supported in a very
'named degree by the emperor, are
determined tnat the prints shall
be deprived of all temporal
pow.-r aod that their duties be confined to
t nose which are absolutely essential to their
calling During the present regency tee
pne*t> have become daily more obnoxious
to the liberals and have so usurped the con
trol of certain exalted offices that the
liberals have at last op.er.ly rebelled. The
crown princess is open.y denounced oa ail
hands because of her apparent determina
t.on to make the empire of Brazil a mire
tributary to tbe poped revenues. Sue nas
expressed herself in this regard in many
ways and a: many times. Sne is opposed
by the liberals, who declare that she will
never siccl her father as empress.
“It is not alone against the Crown Prin
cess that tnis armed pr -test is being made.
It is against her cus’.and, a Bourbon Pri- co,
one who seems to unite in bis personality
many exceedingly unpopular attributes,
lie is a spendt .rift and is of exceedingly
offensive and vicious habits, and is at all
times willing to use his influence as consort
to the peoisibly future Empress, in order to
secure pecuniary advantage. There have
been long murmu s of the
against the Comte d'Eu’s influenco over his
w.fe in a pxoliticff way, and it is likely that,
with the foundation of a republic, he will
be banished. Any change to a republican
form of government would be intensely
popuiar in Brazil, and upon the Emperor's
death such a cna-.ge would be inevitable.
The ann m .cement that the change was to
occur t.e’ore the death of our beloved ruler
is certainly somewhat startling.”
The World says that the reau t of the au
tumn elections were doubtless in favor of
the government, thouga tne ministers were
charged with overdoing in their zeai in the
means adopted to secure support. During
tbe three months that preceded the contest
all the governors and deputy governors a id
all the principal p.lice nffi -,aU and locai
dignitaries were sounded, aid those not fa
vorable to the empire were reduced to make
room for successors. The last elect oral light
was, in fact, considered in Brazil to be
a c mtest between monarchists and repub
licans, rather than between conservatives
and liberals, os had bien the case in previ
ous years. The growth of republicanism
has been marked only during the past two
years, slucj it became evident that Dom
Pedro's life could not last much longer, and
that the government would then fall to the
Crown Prince sand her husbai and, the Or
leans Conue d’Eu, and their children. There
has been little dismtlsfacdon with the Em
peror, an 1 the cause of the present revolu
tion mu;t, therefore, be looked for in
dynastic causes.
ASKING DOM PEDRO TO &DI CATE.
The press of Rio de Janeiro has been,
with few exceptions, inclined to republican
ism, the Gazeta de Noticing, the Diario de
Nolicias and the Paiz leading in this direc
tion. In fact, the.-e papers have been for
some time oast exceedingly outspoken, a id
have frequently appealed directly to the
emperor to yield to the wish -s of the major
ity of the people, and to abiic ite in favor of
M. Saraiva, whom they put forward as the
first choice for president. As late as August
last, on the occasion of the c inferring of
diplomas upon the students of the imperial
school of medici ie, one of the principal
professors made a speech, which was enthu
siastically applauded, in which the
emperor was apoeale i to to make way for
the establishment of a republic. At the
last gathsring of the Voluntareas da Patria,
whica is composed exclusively of army
ve’erans, the Comte d’Eu, who, as a gen- rai-
Usim > of the Brazilian army, was called to
the chair, was greets 1 with shouts of “Viva
a Republica!” Afterward the count was
received with marked hostility when he
visited the no "them provinces of the empire
to superintend the distribution of relief to
the famine-stricken population. Just before
parliament was dissolved in the summer of
lfjßs one of the members closed a brilliant
speech with the words; “Down with the
monarchy 1 Long live the republic!” sen
timents which were greeted with applause
by a large number of deputies present.
THE ORIGIN OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The government was quite svell aware of
the growth of this republican sentiment iu
the empire, and daring the m mttis prec sl
ing tbe last elections many districts where
tne sentiment was outsponen were placed
under what was as much like mariial law
as possible. The Republican party has
found its membership increased of late
among the lauded proprietors, wm si inter
ests were, they claim, not sufficiency
guarded by the law for the emancipation of
tne slaves". They say that the crown
princess, in bringing ab ut the sudden eman
cipation in May, IHS3, did not allow
them sufficient time to supply the
places of the slaves by mea hof i tbor. A
correspondent writing recently from Rio
states: “The year ltdSS was oue of great
abundance, and the landed proprietors,
being unprepared with the ready money
requisite for the hiring of voluntary labor,
had t ie mortiiica ion of seeing their crops
literally rot before their eyos in conse
quence of their inability bo obtain men to
iiarve-t tho u. Tne emancipated negroes
absolutely decline to work more than is
just necesarv for their existence, and the
landlords, being withont funis, are unab.e
to incur tbo expou o of hiring immigrant
labor. Moreover, the government declines
t > consider any scheme for the indemni
fication of the former slave owners for the
loss of their property; and it is known that
the crown princess, who is a woman of
arrat determination and character, has
been chiefly instrumental in preventing a ov
thing fr un being done to r-lieve their diffi
culties. Au agricultural or ratuer, agrarian,
crisis has therefore prevailed lor some time
past, which lias extended to all other
branches of trade, commerce and industry.
The crown princess, her unpopular hus
band, and her father, D >iu Pedro, are held
responsible for the present widespread mi>-
ery whicu prevails," and hence it is that tbe
very elements which in other countries go to
make up the conservative party constitute
iu Brazil the mainstav of the republic in
movement. While the assertions of the
metropolitan press here that before twelve
months have passed monarchy will have
been abolished in Brazil, are and -übtless ex
travagant, there are many thoughtful
public men who consider it as an assured
fact that Dom Pe Iro will be tbe last occu
pant of the throne, and that on his death
the republic will be proclaimed.”

THE EMANCIPATION OF THE SLAVES.
The great event of the empsror’s reign
was the abolition of slavery. Dom Pedro
bets tae credit of draw ing up the famous
free birth law of 1871, which practically
doomed slavary in Brazil and made subse
quent legislation for its extirpation pos
sible. Years before this he had set his
mind on effecting the abolition of slavery.
The free birth law did not have the good
results expectel from it, mainly because it
was n->t enforced at all A m ire stringent
law was passed in 1885, whereby all per
sons born in slavery should bo free at the
age of 27, and all slaves over 60 years of
age should be entitled to liberty. To facili
tate the operation of this law, a deduction
of 6 per cent, for each year as made in the
value of each slave, and a tax of 5 per cent,
on all imports and internal taxes was im
posed for the government emancipation
fumL Voluntary societies for buying un
slaves sprang up in almost every city, and
o e province freed all its slaves by payirg
the masters the government valuation. Btiil
the emperor v,as dissatisfied \vi:h the slow
ness of this procoss, and through his
influence, a bill for the immediate
emancipation of the slaves was introduced
into parliament at each session. On leaving
R.io for his European tonr he passed the
helm of affairs to his daughter Isabella, the
princess regent, with the injunction that
she should leave no means uuexorcised to
bring about the passage of the emancipation
bilL The bill was presented, and tbe min
istry, refusing to pass it, was asked to
resign by the princess regent. Anew
ministry v. a formed and the bill was passed
by both houses, and 1,500,000 slaves were
virtually freed from servitude.
Tie Herald says that the reign of
E mperor D rn Pedro I. was destined
to be neither wise nor happv. He
gave himself up to Portuguese influence
altogether too much to please the proud
Brazilians. He banished t e most popular
men woo had worked for independence, and
changed minister! so often as to cive rise
to a suspicion that he was too obstinately
inclined to Dash forward measures of which
his advisers disapproved. His father died
very opportunely, however, and he was
unanimous!:- proclaimed King of Portugal.
He regained some of his popul iri y by ab
dicating that throne in favor of his daugh
ter, D mna Maria, but bis line of policy was
not altered aud he excited great bitterness.
Misfortunes culminated iu 1828. Calamitous
wars, costly international experiments,
the usurpation of the Portuguese crown by
Dom Miguel, disagreeable innovations by
an ultra-liberal Chamber of Deputies—these
and othe- things decide ith) emperor to
*et-k a more brilliant-destiny in Europe. He
fl st tried the desperate plan of forming a
new ministry favorable to absolutism, and
when it failed he dissolved the ministry
without naming another, abdicated tbe
throne in favor of the heir apparent, then
5 years old, and embarked foi Portugal on
an English ship, leaving behind the new
emperor, Dom Pedro IL, and the Prlucesses
Januar.a Franeisca and Paula. His subse
quent career in Portugal was no more suc
cessful, aud he died a failure.
A YOUTHFUL MONARCH.
Brazil now really tasted a sort of repub
lican form of government, for the three
members composing the regency were
elected by the legislative chambers. In
1831 there was a change to a single regent,
chosen by all the electors in the same man
ner as the deputies, and the councils of the
provinces were replaced by legislative
provincial assemblies. This was getting
pretty close to the ways of the United
Btates. AU you had to do was to C3ll the
regent president and there yon were. But
republicanism did not thrive. Feijoe, the
regent, was accused of conuiving at tho
rebellion in the province of Rio Grande
and was forced to resign, and Aranjo
Lima, minister of the home department,
who strove to give his regency a strong
moo a chieal flavor, was chosen iu his stead.
But the people were weary of republican
ism and wanted something 6vea more
monarchical than Lima’s regency. There
was an attempt to give the regency into the
hands ot the Princess Donna Januaria, then
in her 18th year, but it was Anally decided
that an emperor of 14 ought to govern as
well as a princess of 18, aod so, after a
noisy discussion, a bill was passed dispens
ing wit i the ago of the emperor and declar
ing him to boa “man grown.”
The emperor married a sister of the King
of Naples, a virtuous and good tempered
woman, with wnom be lived most happily.
Boih we o belove 1 by their subjects, not
only for their moral and intellectual
strength, but because of their affectionate
regard for the welfare of all under them.
Ti e Princess Izabel was born to them in
1846, and her son in 1875* They have no
other surviving offspring.

A BHORT HONEYMOON.
Jctm Samuel Weds In the Morning
and His Bride Quits Him Before
Night.
John Samuel, an Assyrian jewelry ped
dler, was married last Wednesday by
Justice L. B. Endres to Lula Tell, a young
widow of 23, but she refuses to live with
him, to his great pain and anguish. Sam
uel went to the solicitor general to s-e if he
could not compel bis bride to live with him
but there was no way to force her. The bride
groom speaks very little English, and his
complaint was that his wife after havirg
got quite a sum of money from him re
fused to live with him.
Tbe wife tells a different story. Sne was
seen last night at her hoarding house at
Ouyler and Bolton streets, and she said that
she went to her husband’s room at No. 70
Bryan street to find four beds in it, and a
number of Spaniards there, who were any
thing but agreeable, except one, her hus
oand’s cousin, of whom Samuel was
jealous, and he slapped ber in the face two
or three times before bedtime, when she
picked up her hat and went home. She
said that she got but il of Samuel’s money,
a cheap bracelet and a brass oreastpln, and
she is afraid to live with him, and don’t in
tend to try it.
This was her third matrimonial venture,
she having lost two husbands by death.
She says that she married Samuel for a
borne, and be wan ed her to remain at her
boarding house in the daytime and occupy
a room at night with four beds in it, where
a number of bis rough companions lodged,
and she rebelled whe i he t reatened her.
