The Weekly Constitutionalist. WEDNESDAY. JULY*!, 1874. COTTON IN AUGUSTA KECEIPTS, STOCK, ETC. The Business of the Week. Our market during the week contin ued dull and drooping, with rather ir regular prices. The demand, part of the time, was fair for the better styles, u hile low grades were almost entirely neglected. The week opened at 15'!, for low middling, and 16 for middling, but on Monday prices were half a cent off. Tuesday they were again quoted up to 15]., and 16, and so continued until Thursday, when a slight decline was reported ; low middling being 15] 4 <2 lO 'e, and middling 15^@16—though prices each day were considered nomi nal, as, in cases, sales were made at lower figures when the cotton was forced on the market. Yesterday, the last day of the commercial week, there was no change in tone. TVv- posing quotations were : Omi no-ml * ordinary, 11',, ; low r mklilTfng, 16. The sales and receipts of each day of the week, with the quotations, are given in detail in our general (local) mar ket review this morning. The follow liiug is a comparative statement, com piled from the weekly review: The receipts for the week in Augusta > - were 127 bales, a decrease from the same week last year of 486 bales. The sales of the week were 701 bales, being 938 bales more than were sold the same week last year, when the quo tations were 18(318] <. The receipts of the present season to date are 197,963, an increase over last season to the same time of 22,148 bales. By comparison of shipments and home of the season 188,387 bales, with the total receipts of the season to date (and stock on hand September Ist, 199,175 bales, we And the the stock on hand to be 10,75S bales. At the same time last year the stock on hand was 5,397 t!ales( The receipts of last sea son to this date were 33,421 bales more than for the same time the previous season. The shipments of the week were 1,049 bales, and for the same week last year, 1,214 bales. Death from Sunstroke. ' J3etween 11 and 12 o’clock Saturday, Jerry O’Donoho, a white man, draynnan _ for Mr. John W. Bessman, complained . affected by the heat, He had before taken a large draught of ice no was I'M n.at lie had better li'-me and rest, and M try ,to work Hby more until he was recovered from His sick feeling.

He died about 5 o’clock yester l day afternoon. Medical assistance was I called to him after he reached home, 1 but it was of no avail. His funeral ser vices will occur this afternoon—at 5 ’ o’clock—at the Catholic Church. * fc- Jury List of Richmond County. The commissioners to revise the jury lists of Richmond eonnty completed their work Saturday. The law re quires that the names of the most up right and intelligent citizens on the tax digest shall be selected to make the jury list, from which jurors are to be chosen. - commissioners have been singu- Hriaify fortunate on this occasion in | choosing the names of good and intelli |jE£nydltizens, and the jurors drawn are Kiuong the best nien in the community. pThe commissioners have made no dis tinction on account of color in taking the names from the digest, and a num ber of th i most intelligent colored men In and county are placed on jSffEcTjury list. . r ’I The box containing the names ■yf.yje iurors has been sealed up and priced [lll possession of the Ordinary, to re |Aain until the next term of court. la Guillotin.—And now comes a writer jpfc Notes and Queries who explodes the ( pretty story about Dr. Guillotin hav ■ ing perished by means of the instru -1 ment which bears his name.

COTTON ! COTTON!! Very great fault has been found, in some quarters, with the cotton articles contributed to this paper. It is said the writer of them is under improper influences, and that his statements are wild and conspicuously inexact. We will allow him to speak for himself, as he is fully competent to do. Mean while, all reasonable criticisms are in vited for publication. In cotton and everything else men are very much swayed by their inter ests and prejudices. Thus biased, per sonal judgment is frequently prepos terous. Some months ago, we were earnestly importuned to open our bat teries, or at least give the use of the paper to other parties, to open their batteries, upon one of our public in stitutions. The matter was never brought to any conclusion, but, the other day, positions having changed meanwhile, the party who was so anx ious to demolish certain men and things had grown wonderfully conser vative where he had been so fierce and uncompromising. Out of this cotton controversy we hope the whole truth may be drawn, aud so the agitation of the subject will create good instead of evil. We have not much faith in any man’s statistics and seership in the matter of cotton. The man who wants the staple to go up is very apt to deceive lTimself by figures and fancies, and the same is true, mutatis mutandis, of the man who desires a downward tendency. It is related that two knights met at a cross-road where a shield was nailed to a pillar. One knight swore the shield was of silver and the other called all the gods to witness that it was golden. One word brought on another, until, at last, they fell to fighting and both were unhorsed and fatally injured. As they gasped upon the ground, a third knight came upon the scene, and to him they (bit the settlement of the dispute. The wary man-at-arms viewed the shield from one side and then from the other. “ I find,” said he, “ that the shield is like unto gold on one side and like unto silver on the other. Had you calmly viewed each other’s side of the buckler, you would not now bo paying the penalty of hot headed and narrow-minded folly.” There seem to be many men who im itate these unfortunate knights; how few are there who pattern after the considerate and cautious man-at-arms? It is related of a Sultan of Turkey, that he had been told by a philosopher of his Court the earth was round. The Father of the Faithful rode for fifty miles to the North, South, East and West, and saw no evidence, satisfactory to his mind, that, this terrestrial ball was other than flat as a pancake, or the money market. Returning to Constan tinople, he summarily despatched the unfortunate philosopher with a bow string and ordered that his corpse bo cast into the Bosphorus. How many men are there who judge the whole cotton crop by the prospect in their immediate neighborhood or according to their little light ? ' Let the cotton statisticians, with or without bias, come to the charge and present their data and prophecies pro and con. If any keen observer, with out passion, prejudice or interest in the matter, exists, let him, too, come for ward and act as umpire. The lists are open, Messieurs. May the best man win !

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS COM PANIONS “BY THE SEA.” What a Cabinet Officer Says About Csesarism. I expressed in my telegram the fact that political subjects were carefully avoided. Indeed, during the entire visit I heard but one inference made in this direction, and, strange to say, this was respecting THE THIRD TERM. One of the Cabinet officers, in men tioning this, said : “Gen. Grant is a fine, generous and kind-hearted man. Ho is pleasant, agreeable and social in his habits; he has conducted tilings generally in a safe and popular way. I really don’t see any objection against running him for a third term. I’ll en dorse him, at all events.” The President himself was not look ing well. He appeared to bo wearied in both mind and body. He seemed to have come down simply to catch a glimpse of the sea and experience the buoyant effects of the cool, bracing at mosphere. Yet to all who desired to pass a word with aim he appeared to be ready and willing to converse. His fondness for young children has been frequently commented upon, but never, I believe, has it • been more pleasantly .shown than to-day. Little boys and giris crowded about him whenever he appeared in the corridors of the hotel, aud with them he joked and chatted in a way which provoked no little merri ment, I really believe that he lias kissed an army of little folks to-day, each one us whom he has held aloft in his arms. Quite A FUNNY LITTLE INCIDENT occurred at the depot to-night, just as the party was leaving. Os course there was an immense crowd on the platform, and it was with great difficulty that the President elbowed his way through. After he had taken his seat inside, a little girl chanced to place her hand upon the side of the window nearest him. He caught the hand in his own, and asked for a kiss. The little one, who might have really sought a kiss under any other circumstances, now that the President had caught her by the wrist when she did not expect it, refused to give him one. “Then I’ll have to hold you in this way until the car starts,” said the President. 1 “ Well,” returned the little one, “you can do so if you wish.” “ Yes, but in case I do, as soon as the car starts it jvill drag you along with it.” “Well, I don’t care,” said the girl, “you can’t have a kiss, anyhow.” “ Just hear this little lady talk, gen tlemen,” said the President to his com panions. “"Here is a little creature who I would be dragged along after this car, rather than give me a kiss.’ The President held on to the hand, and the youngster held on at the same time to her resolve. Presently her mother spoke a word to.her, and she, 1 reluctantly giving the kiss, was ro- I leased. Turning to one of her small j friends, she said— | “ Mother made me do that. He might have dragged me all the way to Cam den.” ABOUT THE CROPS. Price of Wheat. The new crop will probably command about §1.25 per bushel. It is not likely that it will be above that, on account | of the immense crop in Tennessee—and in fact all the wheat country. We have creditable information that East Tenues J seeans are now offering any amount on j the ears at a dollar a bushel—cost of j transportation from East Tennessc to j Rome fifteen to sixteen cents per bush j el. Present price in Rome §1.25. [Rome Courier. There was never a better prospect for a grain crop in Alabama. All through North Alabama the wheat crop just harvested has turned out splen didly. Oats, while not as good as ex pected, still make a fine yield. Through out the State the corn is good. From present appearances, meal and flour will be cheap enough next year. The | next thing in order will be to get stock, hogs and cattle, and raise meat. Then, indeed, will Southern farmers be inde | pendent of the world and “the rest of ; mankind.” The general tenor of all | our news from the State is that the | crop outlook is unexceptionably good. I If disaster should overtake the cotton, i a bread crop is safe. [Montgomery Advertiser. \ The Wheat crop of the present year, I will largely exceed in quantity any one | ever before grown in the United States, j Reports from all sections warrant this ; belief. The acreage has been largely increased, while the yield per acre will i be much greater than the usual aver | age. This is true of the Southern and Western States especially. The pro duct of California alone will be t'our | fold greater than heretofore.— So. ! Watchman. \ Since our last crop report we have have had plentiful showers, followed ! by cloudy, growling weather, which have produced a wonderful change in the corn and cotton prospect. During the last ten days so rapid has been the growth of the young corn that now it is very good size, looks exceedingly well where thoroughly worked, and promises a good crop. Thirty days more of seasonable weather will make sure the corn crop. Cotton during the favorable weather has kept pace with corn, and, indeed, a person who has not been an eye-witness would hardly be lieve how much cotton has grown in the last week. It is now of fair size; and, growing with a rapidity not quite equal to the fabled bean, it promises j well. Although much replanting of ; cotton seed was done this Spring, yet j the stand is not perfect, and in some places jioor.— Cor. Monroe Advertiser. A cremation epitaph : Sarah Amanda was her name, She lived and died without a slander; Had she survived the funeral llame She would have been a Sal Amanda. “What becomes of dogs when they die?” was what a juvenile in Burling ton asked his pa. “They, go to the happy land of canine,” his parent quickly replied. SOUTH CAROLINA ITEMS. Greenville has a daily paper—the News. Columbia has anew fire alarm bell. Twelve,qJltsioners are in the jail at Walterboro. A car load of cotton was partially burned Friday night at the South Carolina depot at Columbia. A colored man who claimed to be 102 years old died Thursday in Co lumbia. Mr. Reuben Harman, aged 73 vears, of Lexington, died Friday. He was the father of Capt. Harman of the Dispatch. Dr. E. H. Hope, of Rock Hill, visits five patients whose total age amounts to 412 years. Grain crops in Anderson were never in the memory of the oldest inhabitant, known to be better than now. _On Friday last a German named Kernel Baur a private in Cos. D., 18th U. S. Infantry was drowned near Nea gle’s bridge, Columbia while bathing. The rolling stock for the Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroad has been ord©a*d and will be ready for use on the Ist of July. In Abbeville farmers have for more than two weeks been busy in harvest ing their crops, though there is some rust; wheat will yield well, an average crop being made. Oats are fine and uninjured by rust. Gaillard Altman, of Williamsburg while fishing was seized with a fit, and falling in the water was drowned. Twenty of the thirty-two County Treasurers in the State have settled their accounts with the Comptroller- General. The County Commissioners of George town have been presented by the Grand Jury for irregularities, malfeasance and defalcation in office and the Clerk of Court as incompetent. The Treasurer of Abbeville county has also been pre sented for embezzling. Mr. Geo. W. Rouse, President of the Charleston Joint Stock Company, has paid into the State Treasury §2,000 for the benefit of the colored orphan asy lum in Charleston. The grand jury of Abbeville county have presented the Treasurer of that county, Ellison, for embezzling the pub lic money received by him from per sons who purchased lauds from the Land Commission. The Orangeburg Times says the crops look well in every direction. Cotton is especially vigorous. The corn crop promises a fine yield. The Greenville Daily News says the oat crop, which was thought a failure a few weeks ago, has revived, and holds a high head. Old bonds of the State of South Car olina, to the amount of about §590,000, have been funded in new bonds, in ac cordance with tho aet passed at the last session lot the General Assembly.

Some Interesting Facts About Him. The Prince’s apartments at the Woolwich Academy have been furnish ed by the Queen ; and among his books is to be seen a Shakspeare, in which her Majesty has written with her own 1 hand, “ Pour mon cousin, le Prince Im j perial, avec Men des vooux pour son bonheur; de la part do sa bien-affec tionnee cousine, Victoria Regina, 16 Mars, 1873.” An equally friendly dedi cation adorns a copy of “ Leaves from the Journal of our Life in the High -1 mds,” given to tho Prince by its royal author. If any one now were to see HIS IMPERIAL HIGHNESS at work, he wd&i.d be reminded of Bon aparte at Bnenne. He has already made so much progress in mathema tics that he is able “ to determine the conditions of stability of bodies whose base Is a curve,” But—most astonish ing thing of all—ho understands “ the cubature of bodies in a state of revolu tion,” which suggests that he may be equal to the suppression of a Paris in surrection. “Is ho not worthy the es teem of the French people,” asks the author, “ this high-spirited young man who already knows Vauban and the works of the great Frederic, who solves the most difficult problems in mathe matics, who would tamo a horse as well as Alexander the Great, and who is not one of the least intrepid at games of football ?” In the name of football, mathematics, and Alexander the Great M. Leonce Dupont calls upon the French people to recognize in Prince Louis their future ruler. He is already tall, “ aud will probably grow taller.” His forehead is remarkable for “favor able protuberances.” He has brown hair, blue eyes, and a nose “ slightly arched like the nose of Napoleon 111., but much broader.” Much, then, may be expected from Prince Louis Napoleon ; and as he is not likely to return to France except in the character of Emperor, his biogra pher is quite safe in predicting of him that when “in tho midst of a brilliant staff, wearing a cocked hat with white feathers, decorated with the grand cor don and with a .sword by his side, he rides along the avenue of the Champs Elysees, he will obtain the suffrages of every one.” How to Cure Freckles. —Notiiing easier. Take a nutmeg grater, and rub the skin entirely from your face and neck ; then, with a hot iron make the surface perfectly smooth: Rub well with oil of vitriol, and cover the face with onion tops. The next skin that grows will be white, and perfectly free from freckles. Weekly Review of Augusta Markets. Friday, June 26, 1874—P. 11. FINANCIAL.

From tho reports of the Augusta Exchange wo condense tho following: Throughout the week our market has been dull and in a nominal state, with some irreg ularity in prices. On Saturday, it was neces sary for sellers to make concessions to effect sales, quotations being 15L for low middling, and 16 for middling. Monday, it was quiet, with prices He. lower; but Tuesday, there was a fair demand for good cottons, though low grades, as usual, were neglected; prices were iirmor and quoted up to 15 L and 16. Wednesday, it again fell back to its former drooping condition, but without change in quotations. Thursday, it was inactive, with a decline in prices, low middling being 15 15)4, and middling, 15%@16, and to-day (Fri day) it continued in the same state. The closing quotations were: Ordinary, ML: good ordinary, UK; low middling, 15)4 : and middling, 16 ; but the prices quoted are considered altogether nominal, as sales havo been made in a majority of instances during the week at lower rates. The following are tho receipts and sales of each day, commencing Saturday, with tho ruling quotations of Low Middling and Mid dling: Receipts. Sales. Low Mid. Middling.

Augusta, Ga., Friday, June 2fi. 1874. The trade movement is not far from tlio usual light Summer average, and no now fea tures of consequence are noteil In tile general markets. The demand for all articles is con lined to immediate requirements. But slight changes havo occurred in prices. A brilliant harvest in prospect tends to strengthen confidence. A line trade is antici pated the last half of the year, and the mer cantile classes arc shaping their affairs ac cordingly. Bacon—There is a firmer feeling on the part of holders, though prices arc without material change. Lard is firm but quiet. Flour—The demand has increased some what, but operations are confined to small lots, anticipating a decline ns soon as new Wheat comes in treely. Corn—There has been only a moderate business transacted, and a weaker feeling prevails, prices ruling irregular and easy. Wheat—Some new lots of new havo been of forred and freely taken by our city mills. Hay—There is a continued fair demand for the best grades, and prices are steady, but other descriptions are slow of sale. Eggs are scarce and in good demand. Butter is in fair demand for choice sweet, in small packages. Note.—Wo give wholesale rates exclusively. Small transactions in all cases require an ad vance on the figures quoted.
