Totals 4,571,- 295, against 4,258,541 at same date last year-showing an increase of 312,754 bales. _ The contemporaneous report of the Cotton Exchange was as follows: Net receipts of the week 38,917, against 40,330 last year. Totals 4,582,566, against 4,- 231,988 last year—showing an increase of 350,578. The Chronicle’s interior port table showed the ; week’s receipts at 13,542, against 22,940 last year. Shipments 27,- 481, against 37,979 last year. Stocks 238,- 556, against 91,966 last year. The Chronicle’s table of visible supply showed 2,477,353 bales in sight last Fri day night, against 2,197,018 in sight at that date a year ago—2,630,327 in sight in 1878 at that date, and 3,011,424 in sight in 1877 at that date.

It was worth 6| at same date the year be fore, 515-16 at same date in 1878, and 61-16 at same date in 1877. * The Chronicle adds the following to its table of receipts from plantations: The above statement shows— ' 1. That the total receipts from the plantations since Sept. 1 in 1879-80 were 4,802,550 bales, in 1878-79 were 4,344,855 bales; in 1S77-7S were 4,123,248 hales. 2. That although the receipts at the out ports the past week word 3S,9lO bales, the actual movement Mm. plantations was only 24,971 bales, the balancd being drawn from stocks it the interior ports. Last year the receipts from the planta tions for the same week were 25,148 hales and for 1878 they were 20,362 bales. The Chronicle’s weather telegrams of Friday show warm and .dry weather in Texas daring the week, and' cotton plant ing nearly completed. Rain on one day in Louisiana and Mississippi, 1.32 of rain in Little Rock, 1.42 in.Nashville. None in Memphis. A frost is reported in Mobile, hut the weather dry throughout Ala bama. A frost is also reported at Madi son, Florida. Georgia reports two killing fiosts and dry weather.' free Labor will Double tho Prodm- t 1 tion of Cotton. It is said that N. P. Banks in 1860 pre- diQted that free labor would one day double the yield of qpjtpp. Comment ing upon this the; ChronicleanfrCjinstitu- tionalist is of‘the opinion that “at the present rate of increase, free labor, before 1890, will probably make 10,000,000 bales.” This we think an extravagant calculation. But there is no doubt that the abolition of slavery has, both directly and indirectly, increased the production of cotton— First, by diffusing and equalizing negro labor all over the South. When the emancipation edict wept into effect, the slaves of the country were owned by comparatively few land holders, and hundreds of them were crowded upon a single plantation. The baleful custom also obtained of continuous cropping from year to year until tixa. «a11 •— pe longer remunerative. Then the pro- New -York Polities, Two opposition conventions were in ses sion yesterday at Syracuse New Yoflrj calling themselves Democratic State Con ventions, and sqnibbing each other at long range. One was a Tammany-Kelly convention, and the other might have been called a Tilden convention, hut for the fact that one-half of the member?, cheered, and the other half hissed the name of Tilden, consequently the world don’t know exactly what to call it. The only sagacity displayed'hy these fighting politicians was in choosing the location. They pitched on Syracuse be cause of the proximity of the salt mines. They needed salt in vast quantities to save the living and the dead, and put to silence the ignorance of foolish men who say that “salt won’t save ’em.” Tam many, dead or alive, needed salt—a great deal of it; and though “smelling-to heaven”, with historical corruption, charged on Tilden, through Kelley, as the great faming national monster of corrup tion, who got up the cipher dispatches and falsified his income tax returns. Whether Kelly ever paid his tax or not, is not clear. It may be that he took more out of the box than he ever put in it. But the spectacle is- affecting. It will affect the Southr-it will affect the,, whole world outside of New York politics, which is a world by itself.. Some gossips say that all the good men in the Empire State quit polity years ago, and, now distinguish themselves by absence from ,a}l political meetings ^and often - from the. polls, and positively refusing r to nip for office of any kind. Parties have . been out a long -time hunting down one of them, somewhere ia the woods of Molir.wk—a ' man by the name of Seymour—and have had several, shots at him as an honest man, but he re fuses to be captured. Four years ago they captured Tilden as $n honest man and particularly energetic reformer, .but now Tammany, says it was all a huge mistake, and lie is. not honest. Tilden was stranger in the South, hut she took Til den on the sole idea that he wa3 not only honest himself, tut the very.mantoren- force.t^iat quality on others. . N9W, if Tilden is not honest, and won’t pay his taxes, what are we going to do? Every body knows that Tammany is not honest. Tammany has been dishonest so long that she could not possibly travel in a straight road. It would make her dizzy. The example New Jt ©rk Democracy, so-called, sets to the ^barbarians. of. the South and the’efluntry Is as befieffeent as it is 1 cheering. It js well calculated to light np the prospects of the Democratic presidential campaign with k golden-lmed prestige of success. “Mow ain’t it? ’’ The Georgia Baptist Convention.

Hera was one of those -symmetrical characters which the world will miss; and the world will be poorer by her having gone.

The Talbotton Railroad A committee-of-gentlembn, embracing the President, Captain S. W. Thomten and Messrs; C. W. Kimbro and F. N. Gibson, are in the city soliciting subscrip tions to aid in building a broad gauge rail road from Talbotton to No. 6 on the Southwestern Railroad, distant seven miles. They Lave met with considerable encouragement, having booked $4,000 al ready, and'wilf'contmue their efforts to day. The whole of the Talbotton trade centres in Macon, and our merchants are greatly interested in the completion of this road, which will bring hither the pro ducts of a large radius of circumjacent country, much of which now finds a mar ket in Columbus. !]' . The people of Talbot have subscribed $35,000, which, with the amount, raised here, makes a total of$39,(XXL Sixty thousand dollars is all .that is asked to make a success of the enterprise. We trust our merchant princes.- and patriotic capitalists will respond liberally to the solicitations of these gentlemen, and by tbeir timely aid, assure the speedy construction of the road. That is the way to build up Macon. The Cby fob Cotton Seed.—From all quarters of southern Georgia comes the complaint that heavy packing rains, succeeded by cool frosty weather, make it highly probable that the stands of cotton will be defective. Anotherreason for this apprehension, is the fact that the long continued spells of warm weather in „ - — iiuuu—mu eccnwasTn' bulk and the cotton had not, been thor oughly dried before ginning, underwent a heating process fatal to the germinating principle. Much anxiety is felt, there fore, to know how the seed which has been planted will come up. Ifrnuch re- Son. J. H. Blount. FAMILY BALSAM fc* a A Safe and iieleal'Etsejj PROMPTLY RELIEVING PJ1N MD LXFLilMiTION FOR EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL . USE. of A Wobthy Tbibute Gkacefuley Ex pressed. “S. W. S./’ in his Washington corres pondence with the Atlanta Constitution under the head of “Our Foremost Man,” thus speaks of our immediate representa tive, Hon, James H. Blount: I know of nothing which ought sooner disgust a man with public life than to have all his best and most zealous endeav ors fall 6till-bom upon his own people. While a statesman may not desire flattery or praise unduly bestowed, yet there is nothing that should he more welcome to hjm than honest appreciation of his la bors. I have been singularly impressed with the inattention of the press and peo ple of Georgia to the efforts of one of our delegation who is to-day our very fore most man in the House of Representa tives. I refer.to Hon. J. H. Blount, of the sixth district. He does not belong in my bailiwick, and there was a time when I might have winked at a slnr of indiffer ence in connection with his congressional career. But, since Congress as sembled in December last, have been a watchfal spectator his acts and influence in- the house, have been astonished at'the power he wields, and at the potency of his endeav ors in whatsoever direction they may tend. As second man on the committee on ap propriations, at once the most important and best abused committee of Congress, he has been called upon to do arduous du ty this session. The illness^of Chairman Atkins brought him prominently to the fore as the director-general of the fights over the appropriations. He has conduc ted them with such skill, dash and .suc cess as to win for himself the most exal ted compliments from men *f both par ties. I speak with knowledge when I say that Republicans and Democrats alike ceincede that he has won the honors of the session, and made more char acter •' as an ’"' able and trust worthy leader ‘than any man in the present Congress. Mr. Garfield, the present leader of the Republican side, pro nounces Blount one of the best tacticians and sturdiest opponents the Democrats have famished in many Congresses. He h^s labored diligently night and day. His work is important. It affects the purse of the people, and yet few of them under stand how brave and honest a man is needed in the place which Blount has oc cupied.-He stands, pre-eminent in this Congress as the guardian of the treasury and aS'the advocate of the right of the people to hold the purse of the govern ment, He has the confidence of the House and the country, and Georgians should be iroud of one who has risen to the fame iff now enjoys. He is one of the worthiest sons of his worthy mother state. “S. W. S.” is mistaken, however, in the opinion that the constituents of'Col. Blount and the people of Georgia do not properly appreciate his services. On the contrary* by his devotion to the interests of cur'city and section he has won golden opinions on every side. The introduction of the post delivery system in Macon, the establishment of United States District Courts at this central point of the State, the bill to erect a suitable Government building for the accommodation of the Circuit Court and post-office, and the pro curement of arms for the cadets of the Milledgeville branch of the State Agricul tural college were mainly due to his per sonal zeal and address; and this is grate fully acknowledged by all.
