COTTON IN GEORGIA,
Savannah, July 10. —The cotton ex
change reports for June, give the foliow-
ing: Georgia 102 replies from 50 coun
ties, say the weather since the Ist of June
has been too dry with nights too cool,
not as faverable for plant as last year;
thel’O has been little or no change in
acreage, condition of plant is good and
clear of grass. It is small and needing
rain, hut is blooming and fruiting well;
stands are good; there is some complaint
of injury occurring while clearing of
grass after it was planted. During the
first of May as compared with last year’s
prospect is not so promising for the far
mer; owing to cool nights the plant has
been troubled with lice, and owing to the
late season in getting the plant under
way and dry weather, it looks small;
from southern Georgia there are several
complaints of caterpillar; seventy-eight
replies from thirteen counties since the
first of June, reports favorable with the
exception of too cool nights, but not so fa
vorable for the development of the cotton
plant as last report; stands are goods and
the plant blooming and forming well; the
present condition of the plant is good,
though small, and as compared with last
year backward; not as promising on ac
count of various drawbacks. First, too
much rain, then lice, and now want of
rain. The caterpillar is reported in several
counties, but no injury there as yet. In
the sea island section the prospect of the
farmer is more favorable in every respect
than last year, winch was bad through
out. Stands are reported in good condi
tion, and the plant blooming and form
ing well.
Washngton, July 9.— The secretary of
the treasury yesterday instructed a col
lector at New York, that the actexempt
| ing quinine from duty, which took effect
; July 1, did not affect importations made
| before that date. Three previous tariff
acts contained provisions that duties
therein specified were to be imposed on
all goods covered thereby which were in
public or store or bonded in \V.° re houses
when'such acts took effect. There were
however, no such provisions in the new
law abour quinine, and hence it is held
not to affect importations made before
July 1. This will occasion embarrass
ment to many holders of quinine in bond
ed warehouses, July Ist. Nomerous in
quiries have been received at the treasu
ry department by parties so situated, hut
no power existed to give relief. ~

THE SOUTHERN LIFE.
A Philosophical Inquiry into the Moral
Phenomena of a Great Insurance
Rubble.
Corresifondence New* and Courier.]
Edgefield, June 24.— Being a victim
to the mismanagement of the southern
life insurance company, it is hut natural
that T should feel aggrieved at the many
acts of omission and commission of its
trusted officials. Like many others, I
became a policy-holder of this company
upon the high character of its officers,
especially that of Gens. Gordon and Col
quitt, gentlemen of national reputations,
chevaliers sans peur et sans reproehe.
Par be it from me to charge, nay, in
sinuate, that they were participants in
the wrongs committed; on the contrary,
I yield to no one in my admirable quali
ties of head and heart; hut that the his
tory of this ill-starred corporation is sim
ply a repetition of many others, is a
mournful fact that has come home to the
hearts and hearthstones of many.
We take it that the directors of this
company were individually neither bet
ter nor worse than those of like organiza
tions; they had their annual meetings
cut-and-dried reports (in Greek or Ara
bic as to all except the secretary and
treasurer and, perhaps, a chosen few,)
unanimously accepted, (in utter igno
rance and indifference of its verity,) the
stereotyped resolution of thanks to the
officers for their ability, integrity, etc.,
etc., and finally adjournments. Many
believed in the reports because they were
printed; to have doubted would have
damned, while generous hospitality had
rendered them totally oblivious to the
high trust imposed on them, while inno
cent and deluded stockholders received
the watchword that “all’s well.”
Now, while we cannot say this is the
exact manner in which this corporation
was managed, we fear some of its direc
tors here recognize the picture.
It was the bouiiclen duty of the direc
tors to inquire into, thoroughly to ac
quaint themselves with the affairs of the
company, to supervise their agents, dis
miss and punish its defaulters. Were
they not morally and legally charged
with this? Did they do it? Did they
discharge (even after palpable proof of
dishonesty) much less punish its unfaith
ful servants? Did they even attempt it?
On the contrary, is it not a fact that
some were kept in the company’s employ
after defalcating? If these things are
not facts hut mere rumors, while the
policy-holders may never get anything,
still it will be a satisfaction to them to
know that no such gross negligence was
permitted, and a pleasure to exonerate
them from blame.
Among the saddest and most patent re
sults of the war is the low moral stand
ard, nay the absolute want of moral in
tegrity among high officials, especially as
regards persons holding high trusts and
handling public funds; the almost daily
defalcation of trustees who have risen to
positions of great trusts by an assumed
sanctity of religion to more effectually
accomplish their purpose, followed by
the speedy and complete condonation and
restoration to their social status through
a sickly and immoral sentimentality.
'I be word steal lias lost its applicability
when reference is had to high officials
and the sum involved amounts to mil
lions—it is exceedingly improper and
sounds coarse to ears polite, while the
poor wretch, whose ideas reach not be
yond filching a few shillings, is branded
with the epithet of thief, that clings to
him like the shirt of Nassits.
But while it but subserves the purpose,
pointing a moral or impressing a lesson
to refer to these things, the most perti
nent inquiry is as to the second chapter
of the history of this mismanaged com
pany.
How long since was it placed in the
hands of a receiver? Has this highly
honored official deigned to inform its
policy-holders wh it lie has done in the
premises, what he is doing, and what lie
intends doing? Is the history of this
company to he that of those that have
gone before it similarly situated—the
assignee, attorneys and court officials to
literally eat up the assets without in
forming us as to the division? We hope
harmony will prevail among the dis
tributees.
With all humility, with a profound
sense of the importance of the inquiry,
with the deepest feeling of our insignfi
eant and eomporative unimportance,
which like victims should always mani
fest, we humbly ask for an exhibit of
said moribund company, together with
the doings and actings in connection
therewith since if passed into the hands
of a receiver, while as policy-holders we
hid a lo.’g farewell to their hopes of any
benefit to their Heirs or assigns forever.

Since the passage of the bill permitting
railroad companies to use their telegraph
lines for public business, like any tele
graph company, it is announced that the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad is preparing
to lead off this new opening, by arrang
ing for a public telegraph business from
Baltimore west, and from Washington to
Philadelphia and New York. Other rail
roads will probably follow, and it must
have the effect of lowering the tariff for
telegraph messages. It is said the West
ern Union monopoly spent over one hun
dred thousand dollars in trying to defeat
the bill.
Jay Gould is reported as saying that
by virtue of the new law incorporated in
the army appropriation bill he intends to
have in operation between Washington
and Boston, within the next sixty days,
the best line of telegraph that was ever
built. It is probable that most of the
leading railroad companies will avail
themselves of the privileges of the act.
