T -i 3 CONSTITUTIONALIST
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1875.
A Contrast.
The following is an extract from a
communication in the Savannah News
of yesterday, which may prove of in
terest in Augusta:
In 1873 the value of city property in
Savannah, according to the official re
turn in the Comptroller General’s Re
port ,v, as $14,384,800. The same pro
perty (quoting from the same au
thority) is valued iu 1874 at $12,874,090.
That is to say, under the admirable, the
wise, the economical administration of
our municipal affairs which has lately
prevailed, the decrease in the value of
city property, has, in one year, reached 1
the enormous amount of one million j
five hundred and thirteen thousand 1
eight hundred dollars! In Augusta, 1
just up the river, property has iucreas- 1
ed iu value $447,800 within the same <
period. 1
This contrast is particularly sharp <
and suggestive. Why should property
decrease in Savannah and increase in <
Augusta? In other words, why should 1
one city be prospering and the other 1
decaying ? It isn’t in the commerce, it <
isn’t in the climate, it isn’t in the geo- 1
graphical situation, and it isn’t on ac- <
count of the late money panic, for in 1
that case Augusta would be affected as 1
visibly as Savannah. The solution to <
the mystery doesn’t lie in any of these *
things. The decadence of Savannah is
the result of bad management in our
municipal administration. That is the ,
long and short of it. It requires tact, j
talent and ability of the very highest •
order to successfully manage the affairs '
of a large city like Savannah, and if j
the tax-payers lay the flattering unction (
to their souls that they will prosper ,
with bad management on the part of
their city administration, they must :
take the consequences. '

lSpecial Correspondence Constitutionalist.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Augusta Bridge Bill—Triumph of 1
Mr. Brayton—Sketches of Members
—A. Remarkable Colored Man.
Columbia, S. C., January 20,1875.
Bailor of the Constitutionalist:
Several measures of the most mag- 1
nitudinous importance have recently
been under consideration before the
Legislature of South Carolina, two of
which were fraught with so much for
the weal or woe of our people, and also
the city of Augusta, that I shall par- i
ticularize. The first was to vest in fee
simple to the thriving town of Ham
burg the bridge across the Savannah.
The second was to attempt the passage
of a bill levying a two mill tax upon the
county of Edgefield, to be applied to
the maintenance of colored persons,
who, it is alleged, were recently driven
from their homes in the Currytown
section, because “of their political
opinions.”
Of course, the bridge at Augusta is
the exclusive and sole property of your
city—built by her capital and annually
repaired at heavy expense. Mr. E. M.
Brayton, formerly an efficient civil offi
cer of your county, and a lawyer of
rare talent and experience, promptly
came to the rescue, and after a speech
of two hours’ duration, in which much
legal resource was exhibited, succeeded
in so effectually crippling the bill, that
it was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee, where he was again on hand
last night, and, by another powerful
argument, caused the advocates of the
bill to “throw up the sponge,” and the
matter has thus been perpetually
killed, as this Legislature never “ goes
back ” on the report of a committee.
The brilliant and sagacious R. B.
Elliott was Brayton’s opponent in the
debate on the Augusta bridge, but not
withstanding Elliott’s experience as a
debater, Mr. Brayton carried his point,
an<l received the plkudits of the Con
servative side of the House for the
illustrious service rendered the cause
of justice and right.
Equally successful was Dr. Barker in
defeating the two mill tax on Egetield
county. Barker is making a name for
himself here, and Edgefield should feel
proud of him.
Mayor Estes has been here several
days, and has attracted much attention
from the better class of our citizens,
Hon. Geo. A. Trenholm, although a
millionaire is daily at his post, and has
the satisfaction of seeing the discon
tinuation of much of the dishonesty
which has been crushing our State.
Mr. Trenholm has lost none of
his ancient vigor, and frequently has
occasion to rise in his seat and stop
the more wayward Radicals, who seem
bent upon returning to “ Ways that
are dark.” The most brilliant young
man in the House is Joseph Barnwell,
Esq., of Charleston, a lawyer of great
eloquence, and, for one of his age, of
large experience. Especially is he most
potent in matters pertaining to the
Judiciary. James L. Orr, son of the
late Minister to Russia, of that name,
is also a promising Conservative.
The readiest debater is certainly El
liott, who surpassed my expectations
when I first heard him speak. He has
read almost everything and never for
gets what he reads, and always has a
store of information on hand which is
simply wonderful, and which he retails
in the most eloquent manner.
We have been having very bad
weather recently, but it has now cleared
off and the air to-day is bracing and
balmy. y oU rs, &c.,
Hiawasske.
Among the dealers who applied for
permission to place booths on the
boulevards of Paris for the sale of hol
iday gifts, was one who wanted to sell
preserved heads and prepared human
bones. Permission was refused.
“Why, lehabod, I thought you got
married more’n a year ago ?” “Well,
Auut Jerusha, it was talked of, but I
found out that the girl and all her folks
were opposed to it, and so I justgive’em
all the mitten and let the thing drop.”
The resolution “to do or die ”is
never a3 much to anybody as to the
young man who bursts a suspender
button in the midst of the “ Lancers.”

Far Apart.
Beneath the quaint old bridge you hear
The waves make music as they pass;
And, winding to the elm tree near,
You see the pathway through the grass,
Where we were wont to walk, alas!
The river wanders as of old.
Beneath the shade of willow trees;
The sunlit waters gleam like gold,
And ripple to the gentle breeze;
But I am far from thee and these!
The sky bends over broad and blue;
And, in the soft and mellow light,
You tread the lane our footsteps knew
In former days, when days were bright:
Do these days bring such sweet delight ?
And still that lane with grass is green;
With fragrant flowers the banks are fair;
In golden gloss and silver sheen,
The bees still haunt tho balmy air;
But you will fail to And me there-
Again, perchance, I may not see
The rustling rows of willow trees
(Which lent a leafy canopy
When we strolled underneath at ease),
Fori am far from thee and these!
Our joys forsake us. Soon does Spring
Pass by and for the Summer call;
Soon do the birds lose heart to sing,
When fading leaves In Autumn fall;
And Winter Is the end of all!
[Atlanta Constitution, 17th.
COTTON.
Interesting “Bear” Statements and
Figures.
RECEIPTS AND PRICES.
It is a surprise to almost every one
that with such small receipts the price
does not continue to rise. We are sur
prised that the receipts are even as
large as they have been. For two days
this week the earth was not only
frozen, but covered with a solid sheet
of ice; so that it was dangerous for
man or beast to travel, and all kinds
of business came neajly to a stand-still.
Most persons feel that this sudden
dropping of the receipts is natural, and
that as soon as the obstacles are re
moved, we shall have larger receipts
again. This feeling, together with the
very large stocks everywhere, and the
continued dullness of all branches of
trade, prevents speculation, and spin
ners everywhere have good stocks of
cotton on hand and do not feel uneasy
about small receipts for a few weeks.
BOMBAY.
The India crop for the years 1873-4
was a large one, the total receipts at
Bombay for the year ending December
31st, being 300,000 bales larger than the
year before. The promise of the pres
ent crop is also very good, and the re
ceipts are coming in large as compared
with the year before. The receipts at
Bombay for the last three weeks in
December were 51,000 bales, compared
with 29,000 bales the year before, about
80 per cent. more. The season in India
for planting cotton is between two and
three months later than ours, as they
cannot plant until after the rainy sea
son commences, which is usually from
the 10th to the 15th of June.
NASHVILLE.
We have been asked: “ What do
you think of the circular just issued by
the committee of the Cotton Exchange
of Nashville, Tennessee ?” In answer
we reply, we know the gentlemen of
the committee, and believe them to be
honest in their views, but the effect of
the drouth last Summer in Tennessee
and around Nashville particularly, to
gether with their interest, has warped
their judgment and blinded their eyes
to the other portions of the cotton
growing country. Their estimate is
that 60 per cent, of the crop had been
received up to December 31st, and that
the crop would only be 3,470,000 bales,
whilst our estimate*for the same time
was 53 per cent, and a total crop of
4,350,000. Here is only 7 per cent, dif
ference, which will not make more than
300,000 bales difference in the total
crop, but the difference In our total
figures is 880,000 bales. Here is a very
grave error somewhere, either in our
calculation or theirs. Now as to the
per cent.: They say they have a report
from ten of the most reliable and best
posted merchants in each place as to
the proportion of their crops received
to December 31st. We give in the ta
ble below their figures and our own,
made up to the same time.
Nashville. Atlanta.
Galveston G 1 52
Mobile 60 61
Savannah 62 70
Charleston 63 62
New Orleans 51
Wilmington 56
Norfolk 54
New York 36
All others 38
It will be seen from the above figures
that the average of theirs, as far as
they give them, and ours are exactly
the same. They give Galveston as
having received 9 per cent, more than
we do, and Savannah 8 per cent less.
But their great mistake is in not giving
all the ports and in mixing the interior
towns with the out ports, and the aver
age is only 53 per cent.
For it is well known that New Or
leans, Norfolk and the Northern ports,
receive the largest portion of tho total
receipts upon the Ist of April, and this
adds materially to the amount of the
crop. The mistake in counting the per
cent, of the receipts at the interior
towns, with the out-ports, is in this—
that there are 150,000 bales already re
ceived and counted there, which will
be received at tho out-ports, even if
the towns do not get another bale.
We give below a table of their figures
and our own for the same time, for the
interior towns:
Nashville. Atlanta.
Augusta 73 70
Macon 75 83
Columbus 78 70
Montgomery 75 86
Selma 75 72
Memphis 62 60
These figures show an average of 73
per cent, for theirs and 73)£ per cent,
for ours.
The committee are not quite correct
in the averages given for the past four
years. The actual figures are as fol
lows ; also, we give these figures to
show the errors:
, 1870. 1871. 1872. 1873.
Atlanta 40.5 54.5 47.9 50.4
Nashville.. 40.7 51.5 46.3 50.
They say “no one that we know of,
comprehended the extent that the crop
of 1870-71 was held back,” and as late
as February 11th, 1871, B. F. Nourse, a
long crop man, formed the estimates
as running from three and a half to
four million bales. We will inform
these Nashville gentlemen that in Janu
ary, 1871, the writer of these papers
made an estimate of the crop and pub
lished it in a circular which was then
published in New York city. That esti
mate was 4,350,000 bales. Of course
we were laughed at, but the most of
i those that laughed lost money enough
to make them cry, in the next two
t months.
> PROSPECTS,
There is still a plenty of cotton In the
J interior and those who are buying con
> tracts for the Summer months will
• h&ve to wait a long time before they
’ get their money back.

“ Southern Methodist New Liquor
Rule A Word of Explanation.
Mr. Editor : The rule referred to by
you was adopted by the General Con
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, in May last, by more
than the required majority (two-thirds)
and it is also true that the “new rule ”
will be refused concurrence by the An
nual Conferences—three-fourths of the
members, lay and clerical, present and
voting, must vote for its adoption be
fore it can be formally incorporated
into the Discipline. This is not because
the Annual Conferences, composed of
the traveling preachers and laymen,
elected by laymen to represent t hem,
are in favor of tho members of tho
church making, buying or selling spirit
uous liquors, but because—
1. The rule of the church that has
been enforced again and again for the
exclusion of such persons as make, buy
or sell spirituous liquors, is deemed en
tirely sufficient, by those who have
refused concurrence with the “ new
rule.”
2. Because the language of the pro
posed rule was considered to be so am
biguous that no one resisting exclusion
from the church, could be expelled for
these offenses, if the new rule were
adopted and relied upon.
3. There is a growing aversion t;o the
increase of specified rules. The men
tion of one thing as unchristian and
unmethodistic, and silence with respect
to another thing, has been found to be
embarrassing and misleading. Under
Methodist rule, for instance, there is
specific mention of gambling, perjury*
adultery, murder and many other
crimes, yet, there is of fighting, pro
fane swearing, Sabbath-breaking, and
“ putting on of gold and costly ap
parel.”
4. Three broad, solemn declarations
are required of all who become mem
bers of the Methodist Episcopal Cltruch
South:
1. By God’s help I will do no harm ;
will avoid evil of every kind, especially
that which is most generally practice and.
2. I will do good, of every possible
sort, and, as far as possible, to all men.
3. I will attend upon all the ordi
nances of God.
All other rules of conduct are bur
specified illustrations of what is meant
by such a covenant with the church.
Now, as everything cannot be specified,
it is the growing sentiment of the
church to specify nothing; to leave the
three general rules given above, and
strike from the Discipline all others.
With such a temper there will be oppo
sition to any new rule.
The General {Conference would not
be misunderstood by the inhabitants
of these Southern States as to our posi
tion with regard to the liquor traffic—
hence passed the “ new rule,” defective
as it Is"; but the Annual Conferences,
after months of discussion and reflec
tion, have refused to concur—believing
that of the two evils—the false posi
tion in which this refusal may place
the church, and tho utter inability to
exclude liquor dealers, if the new rule
is adopted, the former is the least one.
Finally, we have liquor dealers in the
Methodist Church, not under the pro
tection of Methodist law, but in violation
of their solemn promise to the church
to keep tier rules— prominent among
which is to do no harm; to avoid evil of
every kind; to do good of every possible
sort; to say nothing of the relation sus
tained by them to the law of the Lord.
