Tho Cabinet.
The cabinet slate, as now confirmed by
llieSeuate and published to tho world,
suggests just one Inquiry off-hand; “How
came it to bo made?” Thero is but one
man of reputation in it—Mr. Blaine; and
ho will make a very doubtful claim to
diplomatic ability. The particular apti
tude of Mr. Blaine far secretary of state
must lie in his locality. He comes from
the region of tho New Foundland banks
and as our only diplomatic complication
just now has respect to codfish, he has tho
benefit of a residence near the scaly sub
ject. But Blaine, by temper and talent, is
better on the stump than among diplo
mats.
The aptitudes of Wlndom for the post of
Secretary of the Treasury must be a sub
ject of curious speculation and inquiry.
Conjecture for tho reason of such an ap
pointment is lost. Some assert that, as a
Senator from a repudiating State, the ap-
poinment Is meant as a gentle suggestion
to the United States bondholders, but
that caunot be. If Wiudom has any spe
cial information or experience in finance,
it has not so far been apparent to tho
world at large,
Wayne MacVeagh is son-in-law and
brother-in-law to tho Camerons, which
might have been a reason for his appoint

laboring under the hostility of both. He
is a respectable lawyer, but a man of no
special reputation for professional i billty.

We repeat, the political philosophy of
the combination no man can understand,
unless it be of that negative character that
is meant to foreshadow no particular
bias towards men or measures—a con
trivance to avoid offense and responsibil
ity, rather than to frame a useful and effi
cient administrative council. It will be
generally admitted to be the worst sample
of cabinet framing yet known to the
country,

In tbe old times of F. P. Blaii and the

ITIIE SITUATION.
The Commercial and Financial Chron
icle of last Saturday reports tbe cotton re
ceipts of tbo seven days ending Friday
night, ’1th instant, at 133,350 bales,
against 78,431 bales tbo corresponding
week of last year—showing a week’s gain
of -55,008 bales. Total receipts of I bo
current cotton year, up to last Friday
night, 4,070,080 bales, against 4,280,271
bales for tbe corresponding period of tbe
cotton year 1870-80, showing an increase
of880,815 bales,
The Interior port business of the same
week was as follows: Receipts 58,300,
against 30,011 for thosamo week of last
year. Shipments 53,018 against 53,304,
Stocks on Friday 288,540, aga<nst 303,,
270.
Tho Chronicle's visible supply table
showed last Friday night 2,078,352 bales
of cotton iy sight, against 2,013,052 last
year at same date, 2,5S5,000 in 1870 at
same date and 2,814,014 in 1878 at tbe
same dale. These figures show an in
crease in tbo visible supply of lost year
amounting to 304,700 bales—an increase
on tbo supply of 1870 of 303,343 bales, aud
an increase on the supply ot 1878 of 163,
738 bales. Middling upland was quoted
in Liverpool last Friday at Cj. The year
before, at same date, tbo quotation was
7}; in 1870, 5 5-10, and in 187S at same
date 6 j.
Tbe Chronicle appends tbe following
to its weekly table of receipts from planta
lions:
The nbovo statement shows—
1. That tbe total receipts from the planta
tions since September 1st in 18S0-S1 were
4,010,880 bales; in 1870-S0 were 4,270,210
bales; in 1878-79 were4,079,707 bales.
2. That, although the receipts at tho ont-
ports tho past week were 133,931 bales, the
actual movement from plantations was
only 129/40 bales, the balance being taken
from the stocks nt the interior ports. Last
year the receipts from the plantations for
the same week were 04,728 bales and for
1870 they were 78,447 bales.
The weather telegrams for tbe week
ending last Friday tell of considerable
rain. In Texas, at Galveston there were
two days of rain, during which 1.39 fell
The rainfall of the month of February at
Galveston was 8.30—a large allowance,
lu Indianola there was heavy rain on one
day, on which 1.40 full. Rainfall in Feb

light rain on one day. February raius
amounted to 3.57. In Dallas, no rain,

Vicksburg, rain only on one day. At Co
lumbus * there was an unusually severe
storm and 3.67 of rainfall. In Arkansas,
at Little Rock, light rains and clouds on
three days. In February, at Little Rock
there was rain on nine days, snow on
three and a total rainfall ol 5.57. In
Tennessee at Memphis, rain on four days
during the week, during which 1.05 fell,

true that tbe howling storms which bad
raged four days before tbe 4th of March
set in with redoubled fury on tbe night of
tbe third and blew all through the 4tb
snow and great guns from tbe Rocky
Mountains to tho Atlantic coast. The
Baltimore Sun of Saturday says:
A terrific storm prevailed Thursday
night andFriday in Pennsylvania and on the
New Jersey coast. The great snow storm
in the northwest eontinnml r-
rmgianu yesterday the severest snow
storm of tho season prevailed, the wind
blowing a gale and doing wide-spread dam
age to trees, fences and roofs.
From Dakota to Pennsylvania the
storm raged with great severity, literally
burying the railway tracks, which had
yet only been partially freed from the
drifts of the week before. A “hopeless
blockado” was chronicled from Chicago
to Dakota—with blizzards, icy hurri
canes and fiercely driving sleet. Drifts of
eighteen feet in height were repoited
along the great storm track. Snow
ploughs were driven night and day. No
trains were reaching any of the Western
cities, and a general block of a week's
duration was anticipated. The storm was
universally pronounced the worst of the
winter.
Colonel Hardeman's Spcecli.
The speech of Colonel Thomas Harde
man, president of the State Agricultural
Society, which we printed in our last edi
tion, puts a quietus upon all the nlulations
about the decaying property Interests of
Georgia. The State, as this able speech
shows, from unimpeachable data, is on
the up-grade—making progress In every
department—gaining wealth again at a
fair rate of speed.
What she wants is a more diversified
industry. We arc carrying too many of
our eggs in tbe cotton-growing basket,
and so are all the Southern States. The
rapid increase of tho raw cotton product
threatens tho extinguishment of that in
dustry as a source of adequate profit.
With weekly cotton receipts still running
up iorty and fifty-odd thousand bales, in
excess of last year’s big crop, we are
alarmed at the threatened magnitude of
the product.
Why should wo push it beyond all rea
sonable bounds, and reduce tbe price of
the whole below living rates? This is
what we are doing. We want to divert a
large portion of our labor from the pro
duction of raw cotton to Us manufacture—
to raising wool and to the production of
bagging material and bagging—to grow
ing rice, sugars and tobacco. It is the in
terest of the South not to swell the cotton
crop beyond the limits of a fair demand
for consumption, and to begin now to
divert labor from its production. The
profits of Southern agriculture are secure,
it tbe Southern people will pursue a rea
sonable policy.

THE OVE’lLAND MOVEMENT OP COTTON
AND THE CROP OP 1880-81.
The Chronicle editorially states the
overlaud movement of cotton this year,
to March 1st, at 405,690 bales, against
445,723 bales the same time last year-
showing a falling off - , owing to greater
cost of railroad freights
If the receipts of the balance of tbo
cotton year 1880-81 should only equal
those of last year the crop will be 6,147,-
212 bales; but we see that as forty
thousand bales are to be knocked off of
the overland shipments, and about 24,-
000 for interior port stocks, tho receipts
may poisibly fall off, though tho rate of
gain for tho past two pr three months
promises a large Increase. At any rate
the crop will bo considerably over six
million bales—which is enough and more
than enough.

which will he thrown on tbe market this
spring. Beyond a doubt, there will be a
good deal; but there would have been
more if the weather had not been so very
bad. The cold and wet storms which have
swept over the open cotton fields put large
quantities of lint in the river valley fields
beyond gathering. It was swept out and
soaked in tho mud. It was not worth
gathering. So, too, tho extraordinary do-
lays growing out of the cold and wet
weather really have left litlle time when
hands could be rparod for tho purpose.

“A Pure8uOr»xc.”
The New York Herald seems to be the
only prominent newspaper In the country
that comprehends the severity of the at
tack in Garfield’s inaugural on tho South
ern States, as the only section of tbe coun
try guilty of moral treason against the
sovereignty of tho people by assaults on
the negro ballot. This indictment comes
in defiance ot tbe truth; for the negroes of
the South vote perfectly free, so be they
don’t vote the Democratic ticket, in which
case they are in danger ofviolcnt personal
assaults from those of their own color.
But the white laboring men of tho North
dare not, as to very many of them, vote
according to their convictions; because in
most of the large workshops, from Maine
to Missouri, they were notified they must
vote for Garfield or be discharged. This
terrorism was well-nigh unlversaltbrougli
most of the Northern and Western States,
but compulsory suffrage exercised on tbe
whites is no crime in the eyes of Gar
field.'
The only possibility of free suffrage in
the North, hereafter, rests with the inde
pendent agricultural population. They
labor for themselves and cannot be dis
charged for voting against their employ
ers. Tbe bulk of the employed popula
tion are terrorized or bribed. Garfield
knows his election was bought and bull
dozed, just as well as we do. He knows
that his executive committee and mana
gers made the work of bribery and cor.
ruptlon their chief effort and
study, that he succeeds i
man who was put into the Freti
dential office by his own active co-opera
tion, in utter defiance of the popular suf
frage. His panegyric on free suffrage la
therefore as candid as a sermon on hones
ty from a footpad. If there bad bean free
suffrage in the United States, Garfield
would have been beaten a million votes.
It was just as we feared: the inangnra

Another Donation to Emory College

plete tho endowment of tho “Lovlck Pierce J every 55,584!

Some years ago, because of tho unsafety
of the building, tho trustees of Euioty
College took down the chapel building.
Tho panic of 1873 soon followed, and not
withstanding tho strenuous efforts made,
the authorities have not been able to re

amount was not at command. To tbo as

dent, he received a note from Mr. Seney
last week, ordering him to draw upon his
bankfortbe amount needed, $20,000. The
friends of Emory College lejoicu at this
good luck, and many invocations will go
up for blessings upon this large-hearted
donor. This act has given a new inspira
