THE GEORGIA WEEKLY TELEGRAPH
(gfovflia oil tfliiy <T tlcjrapb.
jggr*Cardinal Cullen, in Ireland, baa issued
* pastoral on the Papal situation. He inti
mates that the Popo will leave Rome on the
withdrawal of the French troops.
Thk Lost Found.—Our contemporary of
the Brunswick Courier has at last found the
real owners of the Brunswick Canal. They
reside in New York, and are trying to raise
money to put it in operation.
Burke & Co.V‘FAJUlKt’8 AlmaS-ac.”- -The
publishers have laid on our table this excel
lent little publication, designed for the year
1867. It is got up in good style, and besides
the Calendar and Astronomical Calcula
tions—the latter made by the well-known T.
P. Ashmore—it contains a variety of useful
hints on agriculture, gardening, political and
miscellaneous.
CJf To the gentlemanly agents of the Na
tional Express, we are again indebted for
newspaper favors.
By the way, we ore reliably informed that
»v-*r—i«.—„!,♦ i n th* last evening
upwards of 2.1,000 lbs. freight! This looks
like anything else than a broken concern, and
shows that its friends linve only to stand by
it as they ought, to put it in the high road to
success.
The question of repudiation is being
discussed in tlie Virgiuia papers. The State
debt of old Virginia is about $42,000,000; tbe
assets, in the bands of the State Treasurer,
consisting principally of Railroad stocks,
amount to about $15,000,000; tbe present
population of the State is about one and a
quarter millions—of these, half a million are
treed men.
Were the debt of Virginia quadruple forty
two millions, she would never repudiate.
The Grain Cnors of the North and
West.—The N, Y. Herald, of the 28tli ult.
says: From all the evidences it appears that
the damage to the crops by the late floods in
the West has been very general; but the
amount of grain destroyed will not be more
than the great excess of the crop over those
of former years. The grain crops cf 1866
bade fair before the late rains to be immense
in value, and in'spitc of the late destruction
we shall have more than an average crop.—
Our European information states that the
grain crops there have been comparatively
failures. This fact, and that of the late wars
in Europe, will crente an immense demand
for our grain, and our farmers may look for
ward to a brisk demand and high prices.
Conflict with the Military.—A short
time ago, a citizen finding two soldiers at
Waynesboro in possession of his horses, took
■out a writ of possession under our State
law, which was resisted by the Commandant
of the Post. An appeal was made to Gen.
Tillson, who sustained tlio exercise of milita
ry authority. The civil authorities of the
county then despatched an attorney to Mil-
ledgcville to consult with the Governor, who,
wc learn, has decided that the laws of the
State shall be enforced.
A similar conflict, which occurred in Flor
ida, is noted in our columns. It is extremely
singular that the Secretary cf War does not
instruct his subordinates on the true extent
of their powers, and more singular still that
the limitation is not made t<> square with the
recent proclamation of the President.
' We clip the loliowing sad paragraph
from the Charleston Courier. Will not the
ladies of Georgia, who delight in good works
and have already done much, again come to
the rescue ?
IIon. Jefferson Davis.—From a private
letter which we have received from the esti
mable wife of the distinguished prisoner at
Fortress Monroe, we learn with inexpressible
regret that his health continues to decline,
and that the pecuniary circumstances ot his
family ore becoming very embarrassing.—
Nothing is known to Mrs. Davis ot the prob
able future ot her husband, and we confess to
see little encouragement to hope for his early
release. It is now rendered quite probable
that iris trial for treason will never take place,
and there is but little danger to fear from the
“ assassination ” charges after the Conover
exposures which linve been recently made.—
Meanwhile tlio prisoner is dying from confine
ment, and bis family are brought to the verge
of starvation, whilst the Government declines
%
to restore him to liberty and rctuses to try
him.
Redmond’s Georgia Nursery.—Wc take
great pleasure in inviting public atte tion to
the advertisement ot Mr. Redmond, who has,
at Augusta, one of the most extensive and
complete nurseries ol Fruits and Ornamental
Plants in tin* Southern States. Hu has been
at great pains to select the choicest varieties
of everything be offers for sale, and his long
experience in that line of business affords a
guarantee that good judgment has been ex
ercised in making up his collection. *His
fruits are all acclimated, and will flourish well
in nearly every portion of the South. There
ia a pleasure, too, in dealing with Mr. Red
mond, for he will act fairly as to price, and
you maj believe all be tells you.
As the season is approaching for setting out
orchards, vineyards and flower-gardens, we
advise the reader to send to Mr. R. for a cata
logue and make his own selections. Let ns
beautity our homtfs and add to them all the
comforts the country uffords. Fruits and
flowers cost but little, and are a never-falling
source of pleasure and gratification.
Brownlow’s Future State.—The follow
ing is an extract from Brownlow’s speech at
Cleveland. How a man with bis heart com
pletely possessed of hatred, malice, cruelty,
injustice and all maimer ot nncharitablcness,
can approach the confines of another world
with the delusion that he is to be saved among
the blessed^ indeed passing strange. Nor do
we bellcyq he can. In this case, Brownlow,
though n . — the grave, is buoyed up with
tho hope of “at least fifteen or twenty years
more’’ oMiis perverted existence, and thinks
he can afford to be dishonest with liis Maker.
Here is bis expectation, and it will be seen
that he bases his hopes of salvation alone on
two negative virtues:
“I hope and expect, by rest and retirement
for a year or two, to regain my -trcngtli, and
I hope to be good fer at least fifteen or twen
ty years more of bard fighting against rebels.
[Applause.] It God, however, in his provi
dence, should call me off, I have no fears of
the consequences beyond the grave. If tbe
hooks have been correctly kept In the upper
world, as I have no doubt they have been,
tbero will be a small balance ia my favor.—
[Laughter.]
“A man with my record need not fear
death. In the first place I never did any
thing to aid or abet the rebellion, and in the
iccont. place I never voted the Democratic
ticket."
TIIE GREAT INTEREST OF MACON.
AVe have received a series oi articles in re
lation to the commercial prosperity of Macon,
and setting forth the steps necessary to be
taken in order to secure and advuncc it. The
writer’s attention is directed particularly to the
subject of railroads, and the special object in
view is to show the importance of an imine
diate subscription ter works of internal im
provement that shall connect her inorc direct
ly with tho iron and coal regions of Alabama
and the commerce of the Mississippi. The
articles are interesting, and contain many
valuable suggestions which it would be well
for our people to keep steadily in view with
reference to action in tho future. They will
be laid before our readers at an early day.
When the proper time shall arrive, it will
be the pleasure of this journal to lend what
ever of influence it may possess to the
construction of a more direct communication
with the mining districts of the interior, and
with the luxuriant grain-fields of tho West.
We arc fully sensible of the importance of
cheap bread, cheap iron and cheap fuel to
Reported Trouble with Turkey.
New York. Oct. 1st—A special to the
Herald, dated London, Sept. 30tb, says: In
consequence of a difficulty which lias existed
for some time past between the U. S. consul
at the island Cyprus and the Turkish au
thorities, the U. S. Consul at Constantinople,
Air. E. S. Morris, has demanded full satisfac
tion from the Saltan and his Cabinet Fend
ing tlie negotiations which took place, Air.

borough and U. 6. ship Ticonderoga, which

Flood ia Ohio,
Cincinnati, Sept 30th.—The Aluskingum
river was higher on last Saturday than since
the great flood of sixty. The Central Ohio
Railroad has been broken since Wednesday,
and tho crops along Licking and Muskingum
rivers seriously damaged.
From Panama.
New York, Oct. 1.—Tho steamer Arizo-
the £»«lb of „ citj. Indec-,1, without tho. “• In® IWm, ffld, hit. uriTriI bringtag
i,dhU..bl. element., it were neit te im- h0 "‘ ,red " ,d
possible for a commercial town to make any
Tbe sale of cotton
and the supply of &sn rn Unr>l inipit»m«n*e
and clothing to those who make, is but
a single element of prosperity, and
requires the labor and capital of hut a small
population. For any material growth and
advancement in numbers and wealth, we
must introduce elements of industry to give
employment to population. Machinery of
every kind appropriate to our condition must
be introduced. Alills and factories must be
built, and to this end wc must avail ourselves
of all the natural advantages at oar command.
For steam machinery there is no locality in
the South more peculiarly adapted than the
city of Alacon. Both wood and water, witii
building material of every description, are
not only abundant, but inexhaustible. We
hope the keen eye of Northern capital will
soon be directed to our extraordinary advan
tages in this particular regard.
But what is cheaper than steam, and avail
able for mosfot tbe purposes to which t.at
element may be applied, is water, and to tile
appropriation of this agent wc are glad to
see that the attention of our people im keen
directed. The Ocmulgee Canal is a grand
conception, and contains more of the sourc es
of increased wealth and population for our
city, to say nothing to the additional securi
ty against fire, than any other project that
has been brought to the public attention.—
To that we should direct our immediate efforts
and means, and tho object of tbis article is
to stir up our tardy authorities, and urge up
on those who have the work in charge to
suffer not a day of unnecessary delay to in
tervene between our people and the great
advantages to be gained. A competent en
gineer should be put to work forthwith, and
his labors should be completed in time to
commence tbe work, with a large force of
freedmen, with the beginning of the coming
year. Wc cannot afford to wait on slow
•oachcs, for the world is moving, and if not
wide awake, we shall be left behind in the
active rivalry of the day.
The subscription of the city of Macon to
this important work having exhausted the
power granted in her charter before half her
public duties arc fulfilled, we hope our Sena
tor and Representatives will take up the
matter at their next session, and induce the
Legislature to extend the privilege. At the
close of another year,if not relieved of our«pov-
erty, wc may at least be entering upon the be
ginning of a brighter day, and in a condition
to discuss the question of cheap bread,
iron and fuel, os a means of making available
our projects of improvement already comple
ted or in process of constructidn, and give to
it a practical and early solution.
pg* One Geiger has written to know Tbad.
Stevens’ estimate of the value of National se
curities, if President Johnson’s views of re
construction should prevail Air. Stevens re
plies that they would be depreciated. He*
argues that ns the obligations were created
by a Congress representing a part of the na
tion, if a Congress of the whole nation should
be assembled, it might become a question of
doubt whether they would be redeemed. He
falsely assumes, says the Nashville Union, that
the President holds thnt all congressional ac
tion since 1861 is unconstitutional, in the
face of the fact that the President was him
self a member of Congress after the with
drawal of the Southern States, and that as
President he lins recognized it as a lawful
body.» Stevens knows the utter falsity of tbe
assertion that tho President has ever denied
the constitutionality of tbe present Congress,
and has written deliberately to make a false
impression. The President bolds that tbe
Constitution compels the present Congress,
peace having been made, to admit all the
States to representation; and that not to do
so, is to jeopard the national credit and na
tional life. A Radical knave or simpleton
only, could be misled by such sophistry as
Stevens’.
Atlanta New Era.—Alcssrs Prather &
Scruggs have disposed ot this journal to Dr.
Samuel Bard, formerly of New Orleans.—
Yesterday’s issue contains the valedictory of
the former and the salutatory of the latter.—
Dr. Bard sets out with a leading principle of
the right stamp, viz.: that “a los#causc by
no means implies a lost character." That is
an excellent motto for these times. Wc have
acted upon it ourselves, and shall rejoice to
have the co-operation of tkq Era under its
new auspices.
To the retiring and incoming editors, wc

quite a saving to their patrons. They also

NO CHANGE IN THE COLLECTION DIS

Washington, Sept. 3—Tlie President to

Albert G. Lawrence, of Rhode Island, Min
ister Resident at Costa Rica.
Aladison E. Hollister, of Illinois, Consul at
Buenos Ayres.
Chas. Dougherty, of Pennsylvania, Consul
at ILondonderry.
The Attorney-General, in response to an
inquiry of the President on the subject, has
given an opinion to the effect that the Presi
dent cannot separate the Districts for the col.
cction of tax on cotton from the Districts for
the assessment and collection of tax on other
products. This was the point which the
delegation of Southern cotton factors and
planters presented in their memorial to the
President a few days since.
The Secretary of the Treasury has also de.
nied applications to have the boundaries of
Collection Districts changed, on the ground
that it would take longer for new appointees
to qualify, select and instruct their assistants,
and to appoint a sufficient number of assist
ants and deputies, all the officers of the In

A Southern Contention.—The Alempbis
Appeal proposes a Convention of the people
of the South by duly elected delegatee, to meet
at some central point, and, qualified by an
immediate commission from the people, “ to
exercise their sentiments, and vindicate their
policy and purposes from the foul aspersions
heaped upon them by tbe traveling adventu
rers hailing from this- section, and now on a
pilgrimage through the Northern States,
awakening, by their slanders and falsehoods,
the most bitter animosities against us.
We hope such a convention will not be
held, unless it be for tbe single purpose of
declaring the unanimous and unalterable de
termination of tbe Southern people never to
accept the constitutional amendment, nor
any other new condition, a3 terms for their
admission into the Congress of tbe United
States. This is the only declaration that
policy requires of us at the present time. To
attempt to chase down and scotch Radical
lies about the South, would be the sheerest
folly. Refute them all, and in twenty days
double the number would be afloat, fresh and
more malignant than the first.”
The County Court.—The Grand Jury of
Wilkes County suggest the following modifi
cations, which are worthy of consideration:'
Wa recommend to our legislators the con
tinuance of tlie County Court, with these
modifications, viz: That said Court should
not hare any jurisdiction of sums under fifty
dollars, except in the Militia District where it
is located, or where there is no Justice: and of
sums over fifty dollars- only at its semi-annual
session, which should be precisely between
the regular terms ot the Superior Court.—
That said county court shall be authorized to
dispose of criminal cases at its monthly ses
sions without the presence of a jury whenever
tlie parties accused will waive an .accusation
oy the grand jury, or trial by petit jury—that
a grand jury and petit jury should only be
summoned to said court at its semi-annual
sessions.
Platform ot the Radical Soldiers’ and
Sailors’ Convention.
The following resolutions, reported by
Beast Butler as chairman of the committee
were unanimously adopted:
By the Sailors and Soldiers of tlie Army and
Navy of tlie United States in Convention
assembled: Be it
Resolved, That tlie action of tho present
Congress in passing the pending Constitu
tional amendment is wise, prudent and just.
It clearly defines American citizenship and
guarantees all his rights to every citizen. It
places on a just and equal basis the right of
representation, making the vote of a man in
one State equally potent with the vote of an
other man in any State. It righteously ex
cludes from places of honor and trust the
chief conspirators, guiltiest rebels, whose per
jured crimes have drenched the land in Ira
temal blood. It puts into the very frame cf
our Government the inviolability of the na
tional debt, and tlie nullity forever of all ob
ligations contracted upon the credit of the
rebellion.
Resolved, That it is unfortunate for the
country thnt these propositions have not been
received in the spirit of conciliation, clemen
cy and fraternal feeling in which they were
offered, as they are the mildest terms ever
granted to subdued rebels.
Resolved, That the President, as an Exec
utive officer, has no right to a policy ns
against the Legislative Department of the
Government. That his attempt to fasten his
Ovliviuv wf .••.Mutiuvbluu Upvu tl>« wnwirj »•
as dangerous as it is unwise; his acts in sus
taining it have retarded the restoration of
peace and unity; they liave converted con
quered rebels into impudent claimants to
rights which they have forfeited and places
places which they have desecratcftl. If com-
summated it would render tbe sacrifices
of the nation useless; the loss of the lives of
our buried comrades vain, and the war in
which we have so gloriously triumphed,
wliat his present friends at Chicago in 1864
declared it to be a failure.
Resolved, That the right of the conqueror
to legislate for the conqueror has been recog
nized by the public law of all civilized na
tions, by tbe operation of the law for the
conservation of the good of the whole coun
try.. Congress has the undoubted right to
establish measures for the conduct of the
revolted States, and to pass all acts of legis
lation that are necessary for the complete
restoration of the Union.
Rtsoired, That when the President claims
that by the aid of tbe army and navy, he
might have made himself Dictator, he insults
every soldier and sailor i» the Republic.' He
ought distinctly to understand that the tried
patriots of this nation can never be used to
overthrow civil liberty or popular govern
ment.
Resolved, That the neutrality laws should
be so amended os to give ths fullest liberty
to the citizen, consistent with the national
faith; that the great Union Republican Par
ty is pledged to sustain liberty, and equality
of rights everywhere, and therefore we ten
der to all peoples struggling for freedom our
sympathy and eordial co-operation.
Resolved, That the Union men of the South
without distinction of race or color, arc enti
tled to the gratitude ot every loyal soldier
and sailor wlitv served his country in sup
pressing tbe rebellion, and that in their pres
ent dark hours ot trial when they are being
persecuted by thousands solely because they
are now and have been true to the Govern
ment, we will not prove recreant to our obli
gations, but will stand by and protect with
our lives, if necessary, those brave men who
remain true to us when all around are false
and faithless.
Resolved, That in reorganizing the army,
justice to the volunteer officers and soldiers
demands thnt faithful and efficient service in
the field ought ever to have place in the army
and navy of the Union.

Mac-ox, OcL 3,1888. ’ r
COTTON—There was a decided increase in the re
ceipts of cotton yesterday, and a corrcspondingincre-L«e
in the quantity ottering. Tbe demand true good, nod
holders demanded the prices of the previous'd,.
which were readily conceded. For inferior cottons
there is- no demand, the better grades being alone in
reqncst. We quote Low M-ddling, 34c; Midd iog, J5 C _
tax unpaid—equal te 37 and 58c.
Impeachment ok President Johnson.—
Wendell Phillips, in last week’s Anti-Slavery
Standard, urges the impeachment of the Pres
ident, and asks the thirty-ninth Congress to
pass an act, previous to its adjournment, fix
ing the 5th of AXarch next as tbe day for the
assembling of its successor, in order that Air.
Johnson may have no respite from congres
sional persecution between the 4tli of Alarcli
and the 4th of December. Air. Phillips, who
is strongly in favor of colored suffrage, calls
upon all radical members of Congress to sus
tain his views.
DePARTED FOR THE PENITENTIARY.—We
understand that seven delegates to the chain
gang, elected to that responsible post by tbe
exertions of Solicitor Lamar, before the last
County Court, were sent to Alilledgeville lost
Tuesday under the escort of an officer appoint
ed to conduct them to the capital of rascals
—the penitentiary. It seems to us that it
would lie economy to have them work on
the roads, bridges,*etc., in this county, and
that the city might hire them at small cost.
—Col. Sun, 28th. s
Colonization ok the Blacks.—The Amer
ican Colonization Society hns received appli
cations from six hundred colored people at
the South for a passage to the Republip of
Liberia, and the society has asked the New
York branch to assume one-third the expense
in fitting out the expedition. The board has
the subject under consideration.
Gen. Sickles Accepts a Colonelcy in
the Regular Army-.—Gen. Sickles has inti
mated to the War Department his acceptance
of the appointment of Colonel in the regular
armv. He will soon be mustered out of ser
vice* on his volunteer rank, but whether lie
will retain his present command under his
new rank, remains to be determined.
Death ok a Son of the French Minis
ter.—A dispatch to the N. Y. Times states
that intelligence has been received here that
a son of the Marquis de Alontholon, (French
Alinister.) an officer of tlie Imperial Guard of
the French Army in Alexico, has been captur
ed and shot by the Alexican Liberals.
Death ol Gen. Leadbeater.
Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 27.—Gen. Ltad-
beater, late of the Confederate army, died of
apoplexy at Clifton, Canada West, last night.
He belonged to AIobile, and left a consider
able sum of money and valuable effects where
he died.
The Macon & Brunswick Rail
road.
We arc happy to be able to announce to
the friends of tie city of Brunswick, that
the completion of this Road to No..7, on thy
Atlantic & Gulf Railroad, is now assuming a
a tangible shape. Tlie President of the Road
had a consultation with our City Council
wliich wa3 satisfactory to both parties, and
will result, we hope, in the speedy commence
ment of operations on this end of tbe Road.
Arrangements have already been initiated
for the purchase of the iron, and nothing is
is now necessary but a few preliminary ar
rangements before commencing the grading,
a veiy small amotsat of which is to be done.
We now ^av to those who have determined
to move to Brunswick, but who liave been
waiting for the Railroad, now is you time.—
Come at once. Come while the lots are
cheap. Come and build, and provide a borne
for your family, preparatory to entering into
business. Come to stay, and not to look.—
You all know what kind of p place Bruns
wick is; if you do not you ought to. Un
surpassed by any city in* the South in har
bor facilities, health and climate, it offers
superior inducements to any' one wishing to
change their home. All wo want now is a
railroad communication will*, the interior.—
When we get that the people \yill come.—
But it must he recollected that those who
come first will have the advantage. A- Cou
rier.
Ain. Davis.—The continued imprisonment
of Ex-President Davis, in defiance of his con
stitutional rights and the dictates ot common
humanity, is beginning to shock tbe moral
sense of tne whole country, including even
those who are bitterest against him. A late
number of tbe New York Tunes contains an
article from which we extract as follows:
If Air. Davis is held by military authority,
he should be tried by a military tribunal if
that is practicable; it not he should be at
once discharged from that custody and hand
ed over to the civil authorities to answer auy
complaint that may be bought against him.
We cannot imagine any possible difficulty in
the way of prompt action; and certainly
nothing can justify the imprisonment of Da
vis or any other man, for so long a time, with
out any serious attempt to bring him to trial.
He is not only entitled to a speedy trial, in
common with every other criminal, but the
country is entitled to have him tried.
Texas Cotton Crop.—The Galveston
News price current, of the 20tli inst., says:
Tlie news from the State grows worse and
worse. Worms and wet weather have pre
vailed almost 'universally. A small part of
the State, in the west, and a portion in the
extreme north, may not have received quite
as much injury as the rest, but the assurance
from two-thirds of the cotton region is that
planters will not realize more than half what
they expected a month ago. We could back
this assertion by extended quotations, but
deem it unnecessary. The North is deter
mined to believe that the crop will amount to
no less thnn two millions of bales; and bad
reports from here will pot induce it to change
its mind. England is in an incredulous state
as to bad reports from this country. We cer
tainly wish, so far at least as Texas is con
cerned, that wc had better to give.
Who nE Was.—The Chicago Times says
that C. C. Flint, editor of the Norfolk “ Old
Dominion,” who recently stole $15,000 and
decamped with another man’s wife, “was
formerly engaged in the ‘ God and Humanity’
business as editor of tlie Chicago Tribune.”
We wish tlie Yankees would stop this busi
ness of sending their villains down South and
then holding us responsible for their villainies.
It isn’t fair.
The Bastrop, Texas, Advertiser, of the
loth inst., says that com is selling at 40 cents
per bushel, and will go down to twenty-five
m less than two months, so great will bo the
abundance.
m$r Some idea of the extent of the dam-1
ages by the flood in Ohio may be obtained
from tlie tact, that in Dayton alone the losses
will reach $250,000.

The Cotton Supply-—Indian Cotton and
the Trade in the East,
When the American war shut off the supply of ent
ton from that continent. Indian cotton cvne ot once in
to demand, and the price rose with the increased de
mond. From four pence to twenty-four pence » ft,
staple advanced, with scarcely a check or a fall, if JJf
cce receded at times itwasoulv to recover themseitM
almost immediately, so that shippers in Bombs* his
little or nothin/ to fear from falling prices; and in
nearly oil, Uie shipments resulted in large profits, pw
three years this was the shite of tho cotton trade in
Bombay; years of small risks and large profits. BonS
bay became immensely rich, money decreased in Value
and there was general prosperity. With the close of
the war, and tho opening of the American ports, Indian
co'ton began to fall, fitfully but steadily. And durine
receding prices, the conditions of the Uade in Bomber
became reversed; heavy risks and heaty losses. E rc J
now, though a singular good fortune has attended upon
Indian cotton, maintaining prices far above what niim
be regarded as their normal limit, the tendency upon
the whole is downward. And as the few exceptional
circumstances which yet remain to give more than or
dinary vitality to tho Indian cotton trade are removed
or borne away by the increasing supplies from other
quarters, prices will, in all probability, continue to re
cede until they reach that limit at which the Indian not
j.«n /morn to undersell his competitors. The limit i,
believed to be about one hundred rupees per caodv.
The Indian seller has been ,» keep up prices a
penny V Tb above the quotations of the Liverpool mat-
ket, and this has given all the risks and losses to ship!
_pers of the staple. The trade has become a speenlaf £
trade, depending solely for its profits upon a risingm'ar-
ket, when, as we have shown, the market upon the whole
was a -'oiling market. Shippers trusted to intelligence
from home and trom America, and that intelligence ha-
in nine cases out of ten proved illusory. To thisitmmt
be added that shippers helped to deceive themselvc. by
believing what they wished to believe. ~ J
During rising prices, dealing in cotton was a trade of
f lood luck; during falling prices, it was a trade of i'l
uck. Under both conditions it was a speculative trade
and a trade in wh’ch the true commercial man wow
join w ith much caution. Successes came before the re
verses, and perhaps it was not an easy matter to per-
sunde men that with the close of the American war pr : .
oes must go down; and it was not an easy matter to
keep down the—' 1 "—| stH
could be foum
based upon Europca'n
might be supposed that no tiue meren tile man wou'd
buy at high prices In a falling market. But how stand
the fact? People in Bombay were deceived, and thev
delude t themselves.
There is danger to Bombay, lest in the excitement of
a temporary rise in the price of cotton consequent cn
the suspension of the war in Europe, dealers snould h
bat * '
high
since Scptcmner last; so high, in fac', as to bo prohiu.
tory to purchasers, for sellers here have demanded a;
least a penny ? lb in excess of latest quotations. There
could be nothing in this state of tlie market to Indnce
dealers to purchase, except tlie temptations which
arose from anticipated advances in prices. These anti
cipations have not only not been realized, but price,
have frequently gone down in the interval, carrjinj
with them the men who trusted to fickle fortune anil
to the ‘'most reliable information.” Dealers have b.-.
come the dupes of their own cupidity, l linded as it wer*
against the voice of reason. It has apparently been
forgotten that for every man on whose information s
dealer might safely rely, there are ten whose aim and
object it is to Cm the Same of expectMh n and raise
hopes ot large profits. Aad it should not be wondered
at that those who encourage a false confidence do sc-
cure a creater number of believers thanthose who hare
no speculative object to sene; for, as already remark-
id, men readily believe what they wish,
Iu all true commerce honesty prevails •, in all specu
lative trade roguery predominates. It mnst be so, for
in true commerce the clearer the ring of honesty is pc:-
cell ed, the greater is the ciedit and the more snre the
success. In speculation vicioxs practices succeed bos:
because they are mado to operate on tbe unwary and
the crodutou-. In endeavoring to become quickly rich
without labor men are prone to forget the chances that
are against .hem and to reckon mainly upon those that
are favorable. Thus we find tbe intelligence of an in
sufficient supply of Ameriean cotton in September bit
received all over India with confidence and rejoicing,
and the oeeasion taken to make hcavv purchases in
Bombay a: prices which had already been advanced at
least Id fi ft beyond the Liverpool-quotatinns alter that
intelligence had iufiue. ced the home market. Therc-
suk of this confidence is now apparent. At the timeof
making these purchases the belief that “ Surata ” mu,:
again touch 2fkl was general, and each shipporstrength
ened his fellow in the delusion, so that in somevespect,
purchasers in Bombay were their own deceivers, and
not that only, but their false perceptions reacted upon
sellers nnd forced up tho price of tne staple far beyond
the point of safety. But tho false impressions did nit
originate in India. We must search for the first breath
of the intelligence of a faking supply of cotton in Am»r-
ica itself.
To give another example: The other day the intelli
gence passed i Brough the cotton world that three of
the largestcotton producing States of America had been
more or less inundated, nnd tlia* ths supply of cotton
from those States would fall considerably short of what
had been expected, ths intelligence has been receiv
ed with implicit faith and is treasured op in the- hearts
of men who intend to try iheir luck once more in Sep
tember next.
At present there are no transactions in ootton worth
mentioning, and it may be supposed that intelligence
transmitted to-Esg!and and India thus early conldxot
influence tbe twice of cotton in India, and must there
fore be re’iabie intelligence. It may be, on it may not
be true, that thiee cotton-growing States have been ptr-
tially inundated, but whether true or not tbe touch his
been given to tbe speculative match by the intelligence,
and the Bombay market will be influenced in due sea
son. There are the .chances of profits on the “most
reliable information” from America, and there are spec
ulators in India s Sicient to do tbe work of tte Ameri
can and at the same time undo themselves..
The timorous and tbe doubting will not long be wait
ing for encouraging intelligence, since there are hun
dreds of men whose special business it i* to “rig the
market.” Let any man who cares to satisfy himself up
on the point sit down to think over a I that might be
said by a specious advocate in iavor of rieiug price,
during ihe approaching season, and he will find no dif
ficulty in accomplishing bis task; and about: all speci
ous advocates perhaps the American ntelligencer
stands unrival td, when tbe a’l-mighty dollar is ike ob
ject of ambition. The intelligence of a defective rap-
ply of cotton from America during the postseason hu
not been veriiledto tbe extent which was supposed, and
the “inundation” story must be received.with much
caution. But them is nothing in the past and presen:
price., of cotton ti> bring tlte trade within tlie limits of
true commerce. The disproportion of The prevailing
prices between Bombay and Liverpool must make the
risk to all shippers f except speculators) prohibitory,and
unless cotton can be purchased in the Bombay market
during the approaching season at prices which are like
ly to leave a margin of profit, without counting on the
chances of a rise in prices in consequence of any un
known or i-uppo,ed failure in the supply ot cotton from
America, it is not probable that our mercantile men will
have anything to do with a trade which, as at prfent
conducted, (buying in tlie dearest and selling in the
cheapest market.) bids fair to bring ruin upon all who
may engage in it.
I must be remembered that the ryot and the middle
man are the wealthy men on this side of India in the.
present time, and that they are chiefly instrumental in
maintaining Bombay prices and thus rendering the
trade extremely risky to all but themselves.
