TEH GEORGIA WEEKLY TELEGRAPH.
iGcrip A'rrklij
White Labor from Abroap-—A l'ighly
interestin': paper, Irom nn intelligent gentle'
man of this State, and read before the Cotton
Planter's Convention, at its recent session in
this city, will be found in.this number of our
weekly edition. Though quite long, it will
fully compensate for the trouble of a perusal,
ggr* The Indiana papers say that the seat
of Gen Morgjtn wdl be contested by his de
feated opponent, Delano, on the ground of
fraudulent votes. Of course Morgan, how
ever well entitled, stands no chance with
lladicul House.
What TniP President thinks.—A dis
patch to the New Orleans Crescent, dated
October 12, rays: The President hns express
ed in private conversation his opinion on the
result of the elections. Ho thinks that the
Congressional delegations will stand the same
ns before, with perhaps slight gains for the
Conservatives, while on the popular vote he
believed a victory lias been achieved. lie is
in good humor and still as confident ns ever
of final success.
Of all the knotty questions
That human wisdom vex,
The toughest is *• What roeaneth
S. T.—ISOO—X. r
This secret would'et unravel ?—
Plantation Bitters take,
And thou shait be the wiser
i For thy stomach's sake.
Plantation Bitters—the original S. T.—lSf.O—
X.—the poser of medical “ science the Eighth
Wonder of the World—quickly and permanently
cure Dyspepsia, Heartburn, Cholic, Cramps, Diz
ziness, Sick Headache, and all unpleasant feel
ings arising from an incorrect condition of the
Stomach and Gastric Juices. They are
• Pore, Palatable and Sore.
The Boons Congress.—The Radical Press,
North, arc greatly excited just bow over a
report that the President has called on the
Attorney General for his legal opinion regard
ing the constitutionality of the body styling
itself “The Thirty-Ninth Congress.” On the
other hand the Administration press arc
equally solicitous to prove that the President
has done nothing of the kind, and we believe
they have succeeded. For ourselves, we can
say that if the President lias not called for
such an investigation, he should do it, both of
the Attorney General and all others author
ized to decide in the matter. It is not at all
surprising that the Radicals should grow
nervous and excited at the bare mention of
such an inquiry Snpposc it should be
made, if they are in the right, what have
they to fear? We hope it will yet be done
by somebody. The Southern people would
liko very much to know whether the cotton
tax and other burthens imposed by a body
in which they are unrepresented, are legal or
not. If they ore legal, we will submit with
a good grace; but if illegal, we would like
to get rid of them, and the sooner the bet
ter.
Exacti.t So.—The London Times lias come
to the conclusion that the recent civil war in
the United States lias revolutionized our form
of government, and that henceforth, instead
of being a government of limited it will be
one of unlimited powers.
The Times evidently speaks the truth, so
far as the present condition of the country
is concerned. It is a government of n mi
nority over a majority—a minority who have
no regard for the written constitution, except
that they would change it so us to place des
potic power legally in theirown hands. It wire
folly to suppose that such a government cm
be long maintained, in this age of the world,
without revolution one way or another. Tire
people have rights, and will assert them.
Such is the real condition of affairs
America at the present time. And the great
controversy is: whether we shall remair a
despotism, or return to constitutional free
dom as established by onr fathers ? The
Radical party at the North would maintain
the former alternative, the Conservatives of
the North and the united South are strug
gling for the latter. Should the Consoiva-
tives succeed, all will be well, and glorious;
should the Radicals triumph in the elections
and seek to perpetuate the new and odious
form of institutions, the people will deter
mine for themselves whether it were betti r to
submit in silence, or, like our fathers, strike
with strong arms and stout hearts for the res
toration of the Constitution, and the recov
ery of their lost liberties.

GUARANTEES—RADICAL NONSENSE.
Tiie Louisville Journal thus exposes the
rediculous claim of the Radicals that the
South should give new guarantees of fidelity
before shcal be lowed to return to the Union :
“The Radicals insist that tlie Southern
States must not be restored until they give
giuurantecs of future fidelity to the Union and
ihe Constitution. But, if the Radicals want
guarantees, let them say what guarantees.—
Not that they would be at all likely to get
any beyond what the Southern States are al
ready willing and ready to grant, but the
Radicals have no right to rave about guaran
tees and exactions and demands without
specifying their nature and character. A\ e
do not know of, we are unable to conceive,
any better or more perfect guarantee they
could give than the taking or an oath, after a
war by which their section has been desolat
ed, to keep their truth and faith and alleg
ianee to the Federal Government. If tb
Southern people would break such an obli
gation, they would also break, whenever op
portunity should offer, any obligation into
which they might enter. You could no more
hind them than you could chain tiie storm or
manacle the ocean. Put your guarantees in
to their State Constitutions, and they would,
if thus they willed and saw their opportuni
ty, tear their Stato Constitutions into shreds
and tatters and cast the fragments upon all
the winds. Force upon them negro suffrage,
and call that a guarantee, and, if they should
bo frenzied enough to stamp on and defy
their own solemn oaths sworn before men
and underneath God, they could not be re
strained, by any conscientious feeling, from
availing themselves of the first occasion or
chance to annihilate at a blow not only negro
suffrage but the negro. Treat them well, act
townrd them as your equals, encourage them
to build up whut war has cast down, do what
you can to lift the mass of their people from
the misery into which they have fallen, use
them ns brothers whose destiny, sooner or
later, must inevitably be your destiny, and
yon need ponder upon and dream of guar
antees no more. It is in yonr own power to
create the strongest possible guarantees or to
render all conceivable guarantees as light and
vain as Vanity or the vacant air.”

BY THE CABLE.
Washington, Oct 19.—The State Depart
ment has received a communication from our
Consul, Guymas, at Smyrna, dated the 11th
inst, stating that the evacuation of that
State and the State of Sonoro, by the French
Squadron and forces, will take place on the
14th September. He was officially informed
of this fact by the Admiral in command.—
The preparations for embarkation, which have
been going on for few days, and the fact of
the withdrawal of the forces, have created a
panic among the population both native and
foreign, and in consequence tho steamer
which leaves on tho 13th for Mazattan and
San Francisco, would be crowded beyond
her capacity. The merchants and respect
able families not compromised in the political
difficulties, apprehending danger Irom the
lower classes during the interval of the with
drawal of the French troops, and the enter
ing of the Liberal forces, have sought the
protection ot the L T nited States Consul, wire
has addressed a letter to Gov. Pcsquira, the
chief of the Liberal forces of the State, with
an appeal to his generosity in behalf of those
who arc threatened with ruin and who arc
now preparing to flee from the country. This
has had the effect of quieting apprehension.
The State Department has a communica
tion from our Consul at Pern informing the
Government that a native Chili resident in
Lima has left for the United States with the
object of contracting for two thousand fami
lies of negroes for that country. His specu
lation is under the color of free colonization,
bat, in fact, the negroes are to be sold in the
same manner as the Chinese coolies, for the
term of eight years.
The State Department issues a circular to
the Governors ot the several States, suggest
ing all legal and moral means be used to pre
vent the consummation of such a wrong.
A delegation from North Carolina and Vir
ginia called upon the Commissioner of the
Internal Revenue this morning with a view
to having a change made ic the regulations
issued by that officer, governing the shipment

purpose of securing the sanction of the Pope
to everything her husband had done as Em

Macox, Ocv 20, 1886. f
COT YON—The receipt* of Cotton have been pretty
heavy for the season, and foot up fatly -2000 bales for
the week.
On Monday the market opened with a good demand
at St cents for the better grades, and on the receipt of
favorable dispatches at noon, holders advanced their
figures—the market closing firm at 35 cents for Good
Middling.
On Tuesday there was bnt a limited demand daring
the forenoon, but at noon, nn receipt of Liverpool ad
vices ol.the 15th inst, quoting a quarter penny advance*
though not affecting the New York market, had the ef
fect of Increasing the inquiry for the better grades here
—market closing firm at prices of the previous day.
The depressing nature of the New York dispatches—
quoting a decline in that market, in.the face ef the ad
vance in Liverpool, checked inquiry on Wednesday, and
the market closed dull at a decline of 1 cent—34 cents
being the outside figure.
On Thursday there was but little movement on tho
part of buyers, and the market closed very dull at 32 cts
for Good Middling.
New York advices of the 18th had the effect of still
further putting down prices here, and though there was
considerable cotton told, it was all of tip better grades.
With the ezeeption of a small very choice lot, no sales
were effected on Friday at over 31 cents—at which the
market closed.
On Saturday there was a pretty fair demand at the
quotations of the day previous, and the market closed
steady at 31 cents as the outside rates. We quote:

COTTON.—In our report of Friday, 21st instant we
referred to the withdrawal from market that day of a
very considerable quantity of American, owing to the
unfavorable repoits as to the i roning crop,and we then
quoted midd jng American at UJ(d to 14d.
On Saturday a good business was done, and prices
closed very firm, but without any quotable advance.
On Mthiday later mail dates from New York were r
ceived, which confirmed the unfavorable crop account
which led to a more active demand, particularly for ex
port, which continued up to the close of business on
Wednesday, when Middling American was worth 13%d
to U'4d.
22d
on preceding quot itibns. This, and a reduction in the
Bank ra'o from 5 to 4)4 per ct, stimulated the demand
both for the trade and export, and caused quite an ac
tive speculative demand. Prices closed at -^dtoKd
advance on American.
To-day the quarterly stock taking was announced, and
it was found that the actual stock here was 43£90 halos
less than the estimates, the discrepa- cy in the several
descriptions as follows: An increase of 14.960 Americsn,
5030 Egyptian, 2770 West India and 1920 China, but a de
crease of 8170 Brazil and 58,270 East India. This she w
ing caused a considerable quantity of tho latter descrip
tion to be withdrawn from the market, and the demand
continuing general and good, prices close firm at our
quotations as given below. »
From tho foregoing it will be seen American has ad
vanced during tho week &d. The advance in other de
scriptions as follows: Brazil and Egyptian Xd. and Su-
rats }$d.
For 8ea Islands there was only a moderate demand,
and quotations are unchanged.
Thu sales of the week closing last evening snm up
131.830 bales, of which 69,500 were taken by the trade,
44.370 declared for export, and 17,960 on speculation.—
This is, we believe, the largest business done in this
market for exports daring the hut twelve months, and
the largest on speculation since last Decemlier. The
actual exports were 16,138 bales, which, added to the
69 500 taken by tho trade, (ns above,) shows the outgo
ings to have been 85,638. The imports of the week were
small, lay 31,614 bales, including 13,219 were American.
The actual stock, declared yesterday, sums up 774,480
bales, (a decrease on the estimated stock last week of
97,480), against 261,500 last year, an increase c-f 512,980.
Counting the China piculs as half bales the cotton now
at sea ror Great Britain sum* up 288 500 bales, against
318,000 last year, a decrease of 29,500. which, deducted
from excess of stock, shows the tout apparent excess
as compared with last year to bo 4S3.4S0 bales. The total
ipparent supply (here and at sea) now adds up 1,062,-
i$0 bides; this is 80 980 bales less than shown by eur
eport last week, and 708,680 less than on 21st June last.
Referring particularly to American cotton it will be
seen there was sold last week 83,490 bales, of which
33,800 were taken bv the trade, 4520 declared for export,
and 5170 on speculation. Last week there was known
to be at sea 18,000 bales, now 25,000. The present actual
stock 268,990, an increase of 2290on estimated stock last
week. For the past six weeks the consumption of Arne-
ridan has averaged 24,818 bales per week, at this rate the
ipply of American now here and at sea would last for
aly about 12 weeks.
Our Manchester report of yesterday says:
“ Tlie activity in Tour (this) market is having a con
siderable effect on ours, and a lair amount of business
has been done during the past two days, especially in
yarns, at Vd advance on Tuesday a prices. Cloth, how
ever, remains relatively dull, and prices have barely Im
proved half as much.”
From Egypt there hat been no advices of Interest du
ring the week, but sinee the close of business to-day we
learn that a number ot private telegrams hare been re
ceived from A'exandrla ordering cotton off the market,
and stating that the river Nile was at such a dangerous
height that nn overflow and serious damage tothegrow-
ing crop might occur at any hour.
Front Bombay advices, pertelcgram. are to 18'h inst,
and report a small adranco both in cotton and piece
goods, but market quiet.
QUOTATIONS FOB COTTON THIS DAT
Ordinary. Middling. Fair
mills and cleaned, and is held at 13al3%c. There
is still a little East India Rice on the market, which
is selling at lO^allc per lb. This description of
Rice, however, will meet with but little sale as
soon as the new Rice becomes more plentiful.
Sugar.—There has been littloanimation in the
market this week,'and prices have a rather
downward tendency. Wo quote: Clayed Cuba
12c.; Muscovado, 13al3 l-2c.; A, 17 3- 4al8; B, 17
l-2al7 3 4; C,17al7 1-2; Crushed and Powdered
18al9c. per lb.
Salt.—Is in little better demand at present,
but prices remain the same as last noted. Large
lots can be bought at $2 per sack, and lots of 100
sacks and under, at prices varying from $2.15 to
2.30, according to quantity.
Wootu Hides, Tallow, Ac—Remain unchang
ed in price, but tho market has exhibited con
siderable activity at our quotations, viz: Wool,
30 cents; Hides,-10al2; Tallow, 121-2; Bees
wax, 30c; Deerskins, 15 cents per lb.
Freights.—The freight market has been rather
brisk during, the past week, and a ship is now
loading for Liverpool at l-2d for cotton. To the
North more cotton is offering for the steamers
than can be taken, while but little is being ship-
S ed at present on sailing vessels. We quote to
ew York, per steamer, 3 4alc; to Boston, 7-8c;
to Baltimore, $2 per bale; and to Philadelphia,
3-4c., while engagements by sailing vessels may
be made at a l-4c. below these rates.

again threatening his QP. If he advance ths OP a
loses Q Kt. He may defend it by playing KKit;i

desirable in the present state of the game. He. the.
fore, does well to abandon the Q P and advance the I
Kt (i. e., the Knight standing at K B third square.) ui
Kt fifth, for if you take the QP he is able to forvi
strong attack.
15 K Kt »o K Kt 5 15 Q takes Q P
16 Q to K K 5
He thus abandons the centra! pawns for the uherfi
position in your camp which threatens to be dtuera
You must now act on the defensive, for if youtabehi
K P checking, he moves K to the corner and rathe:»
proves his game; therefore you play,
16 K R p 1
17 Kt takes B 17 K B P takes Kt
He does not retreat with the Kt but captures i*
Bishop, threatening yonr K; you must rjtake wither
K B P, and what before would have been an sdniur
is now the reverse: two isolate i pawns at your Kit.
and fourth squares are by no means desirable.
18 Q to K Kt 6
A much better move than checking at KR setat
for he now defends hisQ Kt, brings Ins Q into4itq
position, and his object should be to bring up
pieces to her assistance. Besides, by this ns
