Judge Stephens
Has heard that there was not a
quorum of the Democratic Executive
Committee present when he was elect
ed Chairman, and therefore regards
his election void, the chairmanship va
cant, and the Committee incomplete ,
he declines to call the Committee to
gether ut the suggestion, of some of
the leading Democratic papers of the
State. In his letter making the above
announcement he ably defends the
position assumed in his letter of ac
ceptance, notwithstanding that posi
tion was generally condemned. Gen.
Colquitt has called a meeting of the
Committee to meet in Macon on the
*27th of the present mouth for the
purpose of electing a Chairman.
’S lie <'oltou Crop of 1109 TO.
The Savannah Republican copies in
full the Annual Report of the Cotton
Crop by the New York Shipping List
from which we deduct the following :
E'timated totol crop for 1809, is
3,114,592 bales. Total crop of 1868,
2,209,557; increase for ’O9, 854,035
bales. The amount of cotton con
sumed in the South in 1865, was 60,-
010 bales; in 1860, 54,000; in 1807,
11 ,• 05 ; in 1808, 74,898; aud fertile
yav beginning Sept. Ist, 1809, and
ending Sept. Ist, 70, there were 79,-
843 bales consumed. 'I liese figures
show the entiie amount consumed ex-
cept that taken in the interior of tho
cotton growing States from the plant
ations for domestic use. Tho reader
w ill perceive from the above figures
that there has been an increase, not
ody in the production of tho staple
every year since the war, but also an
i icreaae in the home consumption.
Indomitable energy, and not ready
capital, Ims brought about this result;
for it is well known that a large ma
jority of those who were fortunate
enough to retain a little cotton until
tho close of the war, after having con
tjibuted all of their financial effects to
the- support of that war, either let
their cotton go for tho payment of old
Northern claims, or it was expended
i replenishing devastate ! homes, wieek
td farms, stolen stock, etc. Another
omen of a gradual rising from the
ashes of poverty is, that reports come
to us from West to East of an abun
dant corn crop, which of course will
diminish the drain on us for provis
ions. Radical rule has not lulled the
e:n rg es of the ! outhern p o e in 1
they arc fast approaching a time when
taey can assert an independence that
will be equal to, if not superior to po
litical independence, and which, sooner
or later, will force political indepen
dence. The New York Herald has re
viewed the situation, and thus speaks
of the material and political effects of
Sdaiftem industry :
“This is the beet kind of reconstruc
tion. It knocks the pins from under
the Congressional ultra Radicals in
tio most effective manner. Lt shows
that the recuperative powers of the
t-muth cannot bo too highly estimated,
and that when the energies of her
pci pie are rightly directed they are
ici tain to achieve signal success. The i
cotton crop of 1868-09 put the South
erners on their feet; that of 1809-70
'• ill set them fairly in motion on the
high road to their former pro-perity.
»uj thermore, it is gratifying to know
t-hat the Southerners the present year
have raised an unusual amount of
vora and wheat and other substantial!
products, and hence will not have to !
purchase so heavily as heretofore from
the West ami North They will thus
be enabled to hoard their surplus, so
that in a lew year-, if Providence con
tinues to smile on their luxurious soil,
they will have the satisfaction of know
ing that they possess in abundance all
that man cun expect. To Southern
energy, then, rightly directed, we say
God speed.
