THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1874.
[Atlanta Constitution 27th.
Cotton.
The receipts this week are 171,000
bales, compared with 215,000 last year,
104,000 the year before. It is likely the
receipts for "next week will be about 160,-
000 bales, compared with 170,000 bales
last year, and 104,000 the year before,
and the receipts at the interior towns
40,000 bales, compared with 34,000 last
year and 25,000 the year before.
WEATHER.
The thermometer has averaged 48 de
grees at noon ; clear and pleasant four
days ; cloudy and warm three days.
One rainy day, rainfall for the week *75
of an inch. The same week last year,
the thermometer was 42 degrees at
noon. Clear and cool two days. Cloudy
and cool five days. One rainy day,
rainfall for the week '37 of an inch. Tne
same week year before last, the ther
mometer was 34 degrees at noon. Clear
and very cold three days, cloudy and
cold four days. One day the ther
mometer was down to 10 degrees. 8
degrees above zero is the coldest wea
ther we ever knew in this latitude. On
Christmas day there was a heavy sleet
throughout the south, and the week
was the coldest since 1864.
This Winter has thus far been the
most remarkably pleasant one in thir
ty-five years, or since 1839. It is not
likely we shall have much cold weather
the remaining portion of the Winter.
Bu. we expect a flood of rain with very
high water in all the rivers some time
in February or March. We know this
prediction is contrary to -the general
opinion which has all tho time prophe
sied a very cold Winter. We have liv
ed long enough to believe that general
opinions are more often wrong than
right, and as far as the state of the
weather and tho price of cotton are
concerned, a man will be right three
times out of four if he will take the
idea that general public opinion is
wrong, and follow exactly tho opposite
course. This may seen; strange to
many, but that it is true can bo easily
demonstrated to any common mind.
Why is this so ? Because the masses
do not think ; they only look at the
surface and float with the foam. The
few that think look at the causes, and
expect certain effects, and are not often
disappoint ed.
RECEIPTS.
The daily receipts at all ports for the
next week, for tho past four years, are
as follows:
1870. 1871. 1872. 1873.
Saturday ... 22,453 17,521 15.GG2 25,642
Monday 24,277 21,220 19,409 42,157

Various 430 1,038 506 433
122,813 109,209 104,211 169,678
That there should be a falling off in
the weekly receipts about this time is
perfectly natural and can be accounted
for by any one. Therefore, a decrease
in the receipts should not be taken as
an indication of a failure of supplies in
the interior. There are still plants of
cotton on the plantations, much that is
not ginned, and in some places picking
is still going on.
To show the natural course of re
ceipts, we give the weekly totals for
the months of December and January
for six years, in thousands of bales.

NEW YORK.
This market has been quiet, with
medium sales. There have been but
five business daysi next week there will
be but four days on which the Cotton
Exchange will be open. Sales for the
week, 6,000 bales, at a rise of % cent.
Contracts have been active and the de
cline of last week has been fully re
covered. Sales for five days, 187,000
bales, at a rise of to %of a cent.
We do not believe this a permanent
rise, but it is possible there may be,
within the next two weeks, a still
further advance ; and if there should
be, the decline which will come next
month will be only the greater.
LIVERPOOL.
This market has been quiet, with
medium sales. No change in tho price.
Before we write again, the stock in this
city will be counted, and it is believed
by those who are best informed, that
the number of bales will be found much
larger than tho running oount. The
stock is now 541,000, and many persons
believe that when it is counted next
week, it will be found to be 650,000
bales.
SPOT COTTON.
Some persons are surprised that the
decline in spot cotton for the past
month should not have been greater
under the large receipts, and the ex
ceedingly heavy stock in New York.
But holders of cotton who generally
understand their own interest, knew if
they, pressed their large stocks for
sale on such a dull market it would
have the immediate effect of breaking
down the price. Therefore they pre
ferred selling contracts to the bulls for
January and February delivery at
three-eighths to three-fourths advance
on spot prices. This will pay them
well for carrying the cotton. But the
bulls in contracts should remember
that whea this cotton is thrown on tho
market by persons who have to take it,
but do not want it, it will have a most
depressing effect, and is likely to break
down contracts in January and Feb
ruary, as Is usually the case every year.
WASTATJE.
This crop is not only likely to ex
ceed the last one by 100,000 bales, but
the value of it to spinners is fully 2 %
per cent, better than any crop in sev
eral years. This fact will add 100,000
bales more to the actual number of
producing pounds of cotton. This
year there has been less sandy and
trashy cotton than we have almost
ever known, the poor grades selling up
to within two to three cents of the
best—whilst last year, in consequence
of the sand and trash mixed with the
cotton, there wa3 from three to five.
cents a pound difference. This very
great difference is caused by the very
fine weather and the remarkable free
dom from rain and storms which has
characterized
He flailij ItinditntiomiKd.
LARGE BEAR INTEREST.
We wrote on this subject last week,
but find we did not do it justice. There
are times when a large bear interest
is dangerous. Many persons make it a
rule never to be short of the current
month, and it is always more or less
dangerous to be short of any month
towards the close. The bulls have
continually said the bear interest was
so large that they might become scared
at anyjtime, and in trying to cover their
sales they would run the market up.
We do not think the bear interest an
extremely large one, as all the prudent
men on that side keep pretty well cov
ered up, either with spot cotton or by
buying on a dull and depressed mar
ket. It is this buying of the bears to
cover their short sales and take*in
their profits that often causes a rise in
the market when least expected. Some
brokers make it a rule to take % of a
cent profit, others % of a cent, and a
very large class of the local oper
ators in New York buy in and cover
when they can realize one-half a cent.
The thing is often worked in this way:
Several large operators will manage to
have the price go up as it has done this
week ; after it has been shoved up
about as long as it will bear straining
and the market is strong and buoyant,
and outsiders are buying very freely ;
they will begin to sell, carefully at first;
then they become bolder and finally
put on all the weight they can to press
the price down. Then finding it near
the bottom for the time they begin to
buy and cover up their shorts. The
crowd always follow a few leaders in
any direction the market is tending.
This is the cause of the many fluctua
tions in the market, without apparent
cause to the unpracticed eye. We do
not think the bear interest is a large
one. The price has been remarkably
steady for several months, and there
has been more money to the prudent
bear who has followed the weekly fluc
tuations, and who has sold on a strong
market, and covered on a weak one,
than there would have been by selling
all the time.
PROSPECTS.
It is possible the price both in spots
and contracts may be shoved up a little
more ; if so, it will be an excellent time
to make short sales for March or April.
We do not say the price will rise—we
cannot tell what is in men’s minds—
but of this we feel certain, that whoso
ever buys spots or contracts now, and
intends to hold them for a rise, is likely
to be disappointed.

WEARY OF LIFE.
A Prominont Minister of the Gospel
Cuts His Own Throat—He is De
tected in Stealing a Book in a Store
—The Shame of Exposure Supposed
to be the Cause of the Act.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 27.
The Rev. J. M. Cooms, pastor of the
Western Presbyterian Church of this
city, committed suicide here this morn
ing under extraordinary circumstances.
A Sunday paper contained the follow
ing paragraph : “ For many months
the store of a prominent bookseller has
been visited by a man well on in years,
and neatly dressed, after the fashion
of a minister of the Gospel. He would
walk around the store, examining
books, reading passages, but never
making a purchase. Lately our sta
tioner has missed books, and all at
tempts to find how they were taken
failed, until yesterday, when the
clerical-looking "gentleman was dis
covered to be the kleptomaniac.
He was standing in the store quiet
ly reading a book he had taken,
when a customer entered, upon whom
the proprietor turned to wait upon.—
The instant his back was turned the
Gospel gentleman left the store. The
stationer immediately followed him,
and, coming up, asked what he did with
that book. The reverend gentleman
turned pale, and with the exclamation,
‘For God’s sake don’t expose me pub
licly,’ brought forth the stolen book
from under his coat.” That clergyman
was J. M. Cooms. This morning his
congregation at the fashionable West
End assembled at the usual time. The
hour for services came, but the pastor
was absent. A messenger was dis
patched to his apartment. The door
was barred. The messenger forced the
door to find the dead body of Cooms in
his chamber,[with his throat so terribly
cut that the head was nearly severed
from the body. The messenger, horror
stricken, announced the fact to the con
gregation. Subsequent inquiry discloses
the following facts : Cooms has been
an honored and successful clergyman
of this District for a quarter of a cen
tui’y, at first in the Methodist, and
lately in the Presbyterian denomina
tion. Cooms’ wife for some years has
been insane. This calamity has at
times clouded his mind. There were
no children. For some weeks the old
family maid-servant has noticed that
Cooms was unusually depressed and
exhibited symptoms similar to those
which were manifested in the early
stages of Mrs. Cooms’ insanity. This
morning, for the first time in very many
yeafs, Cooms ordered all the Sunday
papers purchased and brought to him
before church. The papers were found
in his room carefully examined, the
one containing the paragraph
had last been read, and lay on top as if
this paragraph had been carefully read.
The suicide, according to the account
of time, must have speedily followed
the reading. There was so much
method, however, in the madness that
a considerable quantity of Government
bontls were found carefully arranged
upon the table near the fatal news
paper. The clergyman was a man of
property. The throat was cut with two
razors, and the work was thoroughly
done.
The New Mississippi Senator. —Mr.
Bruce, the colored Senator-elect from
Mississippi, has been here several
days. He spends some time in con
doling with the unhappy Pinchback.
Bruce, although said to be a full
blooded negro, is not very dark color
ed, and has several times been taken
for one of King Kalakaua’s suite. Like
all the other present and prospective
negro Congressmen, he dresses in fine
broadcloth and sports the heaviest of
watch chains. There has been some
talk about having him investigated
when he comes into the Senate, but
the charges made against him affect
only his acts as a State officer, he for
merly having been Sheriff, and it is not
likely that the Senate will consider
that it should take cognizance of such
matters. Mr. Bruce does not look in
tellectually the equal of his colored
predecessor from Mississippi, Revels.
The speeches which Revels delivered
in the Senate were all prepared, it is
alleged, for him. On one occasion,
while Revels was spouting one of these
speeches in the Senate, Mr. Sumner
crossed over, and, taking a seat by a
Democratic Senator, whispered to him,
“ Revels is a poor shoat.”

GOTHAN’S HOSPITALITY.
The Way a Drunken Alderman In
troduced King Kalakaua.
The serenade to the King of the
Sandwich Islands to-night, at the
Windsor Hotel, brought on many lu
dicrous incidents. The Committee of
the Board of Aldermen appointed to
receive King Kalakaua had become as
drunk as Toodles. While awaiting in
Jersey City the arrival of the train
from Washington, they adjourned to
the benzine shops near the Pensylva
nia Railroad depot, and took in a sup
ply of Jersey lightning to steady their
nerves to receive with becoming dig
nity the copper-colored potentate
whose presence was to shed such a
blaze of glory. At the Windsor
Hotel to-night the Ninth Regiment
band put in an appearance short
ly after 9 o’clock, to serenade the
King. An immense throng had assem
bled in front of the hotel. During the
playing of the first air the King and
suite appeared on the balcony. Kala
kaua’s features became like a newly
polished mahogany table. He seemed
pleased with himself and his surround
ings. Parties of female beauty clus
tered in the corridors of the hotel, in
the parlor and on the balcony, and
shed a lustre on the scene. Two bril
liant calcium lights illuminated the
avenue for a quarter of a mile. The
first air over, old McCafferty, Chair
man of the Reception Committee of the
Board of Aldermen, staggered to the
side of the King, and, leaning over the
balcony, swayed to and fro in a man
ner which alarmed his friends for his
safety, and looked ominous for what
soever life insurance company he had
a policy in. Alderman McCafferty
spoke as follows : “ Mr. Chairman and
Members of the Board ci Aldermen.”
[Laughter.]
A friend at his elbow —Damn it, Mac,
what in h—l are you talking about ?
Say ladies and gentlemen.
Aid. McCafferty, smiling a good
natured, alcoholic smile, and giving a
plunge ahead against the life insurance
interest, taking the hint —Laides and
gentlemen: Allow me to introduce to
you my friend, King David—[roaring
laughter.] Kalakaua smiling amusedly,
while McCafferty glared in astonish
ment, and the aldermanic friend at his
elbow said: “H —i, Mac, call him
Calico.” McCafferty, who had evi
denly been seeking information in re
gard to the pronunciation of the
potentateVname, corrected himself in
the following fashion: I mean,
Mr. Chairman—that is ladies and
gentlemen—to give his majesty his full
title. Let me introduce to you King
David Kalak-a-a. [Roars of laughter.]
As members of the Common Council.
[Pause and laughter]—as citizens of
New York, you will listen patiently to
what the King has to say. He will now
address you. Mr. Kalakaua, let me in
troduce you.
The crowd laughed and cheered, and
his majesty smiled and puffed his
cigar. He had no* speech to make. He
listened to another air, and then re
tired to his own rooms. The band
contiued playing till after 10 o’clock.
McCafferty and his aldermanic friends
adjourned to take a drink.
“Arter Draps.”—The other day we
were sitting in our sanctum bewailing
the scarcity of items, when a tall, raw
boned individual, with tawny hair and
fiery side whiskers, lifted the latch and
entered. He was clad in homespun,
and the tail of his coat claimed com
panionship with his heels. His face
wore a brave and solemn expression,
and he conversed fluently through his
nose. Said he :
“ Are you the editor of the Express?”
We acknowledged, with profound hu
miliation, that the miserable wretch
who dished up original matter for
these columns stood before him.
‘ls your names John Bateman ?’
We assured him that John Bateman
was something over two-thirds of our
name, and suggested that the remain
der was unimportant.
‘Well, Bateman,’ exclaimed our stal
wart visitor, with a strong nasal twang,
and a raw bucolic dialect, ‘l’m arter
some draps.’
‘Draps!” echoed we with surprise,
‘Draps!’
“ Yes, draps ! My little Sal is sorter
puny, and the old woman said she
thought a few Bateman draps would
fetch her out all right, and so here I
am Bateman. I’m a Granger, you
know, and I believe in buying physic
from the fountain head !”
With infinite sadness we led him out
by the ear, and pointed to a drug store.

Just look at me now, boys, in rrgs and dis

With my bleared, haggard eyes, and my

Mark my faltering step and my weak, pal
sied hand,
And the mark on my brow that is worse
than Cain’s brand;
Seo my crownless old hat, and my elbows

Alike warmed by the sun or chilled by the

Why, even the children will boat as I pass—
But I’ve drank my last glass, boys,

Moonshine and Melody.—A select
number of love-struck young gentle
men, supplied with the necessary quan
tity of flutes, lutes and guitars, took it
into their heads ono evening to seren
ade a young lady, or rather an old
house in Charles Street, New Orleans,
in which they believed a young lady to
be, but in which there was no lady,
either young or old. They tuned their
instruments, attuned their voices and
performed away for some thirty or
forty minutes, making night hideous
with songs and airs breathing subli
mated sentiment, when a negro wench,
with a mouth like an ivory-keyed ac
cordeon, raised the window and ad
dressed the vocal and instrumental
amateurs underneath.
“Look here, gemmen, taint no use to
bo foolin’ away your time ’roud here,
kaze dar ain’t nobody in dis house ’cept
Bess, and dat’s me. I aint no ’jection
to your playin’ ‘Jin-along-Josey,’ ‘Coony
in de Holler,’ or anything dat’s fash
ionable and nice, but dem ’talian and
other foolish tunes you’s performing
’round here ain’t no account. Go way,
white folks.”
The serenaders sneaked away as if
their presence in another part of the
city, just about that time, was imperi
ously called for.
Gen. Thos. H. 'Williams, of Virginia
City, owns 6,500 shares of the Califor
nia, and 3,000 shares of Consolidated
Virginia silver mines. They cost him
but a trifle some months ago. A few
days ago they were on the topmost
wave of the financial sea. In twenty
four hours their rise was such as to
give the General a profit of 8650,000,
about #26,000 an hour, or #SOO a min
ute. .
