Birmingham, ill*., bat been vis ited by A.gnow storm. . ihe Housc-of.Representatives of this State b^s done a just and grf^pful'apt in recommending the employment of ladles as enrolling *nd engrossing clerks. As a rule, ladies Vrrite n neat band and are correct as copyists. It is work for which they are well fitted, and we are glad to see this recognition of their rights by the Georgia legisla tors. work again with a greater demand and higher prices for their fabrics. Tbeir employes, in the mean time, > suffer for Jibe want of work, id are beguiled by /aissnrance* t they get hotter pay (while at work) than employes in other countries. But that condition af fects only a small portion of the working people of the South. With a prudent limitation of tbeir cotton production to the needs of the world, the Southern farmers Oin continue to escape the worst conditions of ‘hard times.” The Southern Confederacy seems to- be dead everywhere except Id Iowa whera there te a Republican majority of Something like 60,000. We reed that In Charlton in that State the Democrats turned out re cently to celebrate' tbeir victory. Cheers for JeffDavis ran along the line, bloody shirts were paraded and burned and a colored boy was made helplessly!drunk and sold at auction. This goes a long way ahead of anything in the wildest part of the solid Sooth. . . Congressman Calkins, of Iudia- na, has been counting obickens be fore, they were batched. He was the late Republican candidate for . Governor ol that State, and during the campaign bo resigned bis seat in Congress which he could have held Indefinitely. So sure was be , of ; hls election that he invited bis Congressional friends to bis inaugu ration. Bat be was defeated by 8,000 votes. Another man was elected to Congress in bis place, and list night Calkins left Wash ington for Indiana a private citizen. ROT ALTOGETHER BAD. The cry of "hard times," the Rome Courier observes, so far as it applies to genoral dullness of trade and difficulty of collecting money, is well founded; but we think that there are compensations, particularly for the cotton planters el the South, which ought to make them thankful that they are in bet- ter condition than other classes. Tbcirstaplo now commands a ready sale at 10 cents per pound—a fair and average price—while nearly everything which they have to buy haa fallen greatly in market value. Prints are selling by retail at 4£ and 6 cents a yard, shirtings and sheetings at 6 to 64 cents, shoes at extremely low prices, blankets at $1.60 to $2.00 per pair, and othor woolen goods in proportion. Gro ceries and provisions are equally low. Sugar was seldom, if over, known to be lower than now; bread- stuffs are uncommonly cheap, and meats much below the ruling prices of late years. Ordinarily a cotton planter thinks he has made a good exchange if a pound of cotton will buy a pound of bacon; but now sldemeatoan be bought at 14 cents per pound, while cotton commands lfi. Not only is the nominal price c! cotton a fair one, but the money obtained tor it will buy a much larger quantity of farm supplies than usual. It is true that the crop is a short one, but wo think that when the cotton planter computes - the savings tbst he makes by the cheapness of commodities of neces sary home consumption, he will find the balance on bis side. Now we do not make these sug gestions with a view to entourage an inoreaas of cotton planting next year wtth the expectation of ex changing cotton at a good price ror other products at low rates, for we do not believe that this relative condition will.last through another year. It is because the cotton crop is a short one that it com mands a good price, and a big crop next year would probably aeud it down towards “rock bot tom" again. The low prices of manufactured articles, oa the other hand, are due to excessive produc tion. Our high tariff stimulated tha protected indnsbies to over production, and they glutted the home market without being able to compete in foreign countries with the prodnoU of other manu facturing nations. They are now cartelling production and working off 'thilr* snrpint at low prices. Whtn this is dons they will Mart Mr*, Smith’. Caac. and what the Her.

Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing manufacturers who had made up numerous stocks from materi als bought on credit. These manufacturers placed their faith on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given for piece goods, but the trade did not come, the continuous warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there was nothing left for them to do but to fail and tum their goods over to an Assignee. It was bad for them, but it is in your power to make it good for you, for, as usual, when good goods are to be sacrificed we are ahyays on hand. Our Mr. Joe Waxelbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand Dolhf.*, we bought Thirty-Three Thousand more in Boys, Chil drens and Men’s Clothing, Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Fancy Goods, Corsets, etc., at prices varying from 30 to 60 per cent, of the actual value.
