Hats the Roston Transcript: “Ia there ■any county cross-roads organ North or or South that indulges in sillier suppression and distortion of well-known facta to please an unintelligent and prejudiced con stituency of readers than the New York Tribune?" Tho People Are All ltl£lit. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: Much of the opposition to railroad sad other cor porations in certain communities arises from the envy felt by poor and ignorant peoplo when they see others nuking money more rapidly and easily than themselves. Not considering that the intelligence which enables a nun to become wealthy under one set of circumstances will serve him equally well when otherwise situated, or that tho ignorance and stupidity whieh nude poverty their own lot will serve to keep them poor, they see only the wealth and poverty, and when opportunity offer* vent their spite accord ingly. A notable illustration is just af forded by tbe Georgia Legislature, which is composed of men to whom the mileage and per diem are a consideration not to t>e do iplsed. The session lately closed was distinguished by tbe war on the railroads, which were attacked from every point, not because they are really rich or wonder fully prosperous, but because tbe people are bo poor that they cannot endure the Might of even the bumble degree of success enjoyed by tbo railroad corporations. The Georgians do not even suspect that in breaking down the roads they arc sapping their own pro>q.erity. aud some severe lessons will apparently lie necessary to convince them that the health of the whole body politic depends on the health of every number.” Our contemporary i« partly right only in his statement of the case. It will not do to arraign the whole Georgia people as envious and unjust. The vote in the Legislature disclosed tho fact that the majority of that body was in favor of doing justice to the roada and of treating them in a liberal spirit. The want of a constitutional majority caused the bill to fail. Wo do not think it an error to state that the press of Georgia is a better index to the will of this people upon the railroad ques tion, now temporarily disposed of. The members of the last Legislature were not elected upon any issue between the railroads and the people. The railroad bill came before the hist sitting of the body only, and had not been developed when the members wero first elected. They were, many of them, at sea as to the sentiments of their constituents, and became the prey of ambitious demagogues. On the other hand, the newspapers were practically unanimous in support of the bill which failed. Every paper of the State of any character and standing indorsed and urged the bill. These nre published among the people, and expressed the opinions of communities. Their man ly advocacy of right and justice, we think, s answer sufficient to tho Globe-Democrat's charge that our people “aro so poor that they cannot enduro the sight of even the humble degree of success enjoyed by the railroad corporations.” They will be heard from a year from now. Cotton .Statement. From the Chronicle’s cotton article of November C, the following facts are gathered relative to tho movement of the crop for the past week: For the week ending this evening (No vember 6), the total receipts have reached 274,422 bales, against 2(18,023 bales last week, 201,704 bales tho previous week and 231,401 bales three weeks since, making the total receipts since the first of September, 1835, 1,602,975 bales, against 1,692,871 bales for the eame period of 1884, showing a de crease since September 1, 1885, of 29,990 bales. The receipts of all the interior towns for tho week have been 190,017 bales. Lent year tho receipts of tho same week were 147,220 bales. The old interior stocks havo increased during tho week 50,782 boles, and ore to-night 05,510 bales more than at the ■amo period last year. Tho receipts at the same towns have been 31,590 bales more than the same week lost year, and since September 1 tho receipts at all tho towns aro 170,935 bales wore than for the same time in 1884. Among the interior towns, the receipts at Macon for tho week have been 3,630 bales. Last year the receipts for the week wero 2,905 hales. Those figures show a increase for the week of 725 bales. The total reccipta from the plantations since September 1, 1885, were 1,903,669 biles; in 1884 were 1,850,652 bales; in 1883 were 1,997,604 boles. Although tbe receipts at the outports the past^week were 274,422 bales, the actual movement from plantations was 324,579 bales, the balance going to increase the stocks at tho interior towns. Lost year the receipts from the plantations for tho same week were 275,979 bales, and for 1883 they were 901,119 bales. The imports into continental ports this week have licen 18,000 bales. The figures indicate a decrease in the cotton in sight to-night of 89,305 bales as compared with the same date of 1884, a de crease of 332,617 bales as compared with the corresponding date of 1883, and a decrease 70,344 bales as compared with 1882.

A scientific and practical German, who visited Paterson a few days since from his establishment in a Western State, where he has on extensive chicken ntnch iu full oper ation, with incubators that turn out from 1,000 to 2,000 chickens every three days, held consultations with leading citizens of his own nationality hero and proposes to establish a similar “chicken factory” near this city, as being a most de siderahle location, within easy reach of the New York market. The projector of this new industry him gone to Germany for a short time to direct the ro-estahlishment of on extensive hatchery there, now under the charge of inexperienced managers. He will return soon, nnd if he can find sufficient encouragement he will close out his West ern establishment and remove to Paterson, where he will build a hatchery with a capac ity of several thousand chicks a week. This, he claims, would bo a veritable gold mine, if rightly conducted. Prior to fifteen or twenty yean ago the idea of hatching chickens by artificial means, or any means except the setting hen, would have been regarded oa utterly impracticable, but now there are, accord ing to the patent office reports no less than forty-seven various machines in use for this purpose. There are two kinds of ma chines or incubators, as they are termed; the one is heated by lamps or fire and the other by hot water; the latter being pronounced the best and tbe least dan gerous. It is very plain and simple ulfuir, consisting of a tank, which is filled with hot water until the thermometer in the incubator shows 1U3 degrees. Immediately under this tank is the nest or a drawer for the cugs. Below the drawer is a ventilator which can bo removed at the time of hatch ing to give an airing. Witli this incubntor ono can raise from two to twelve dozen chickens every three weeks. A gentleman who has had one in operation for two years says that for reliability “it beats Mis. Hen out other wits.” lly this means chicks con lie hatched nnd rained at auy time of tbe year, pin ing them in the market just when they will do the mostgood; that is, when they cannot be produced in any other way and therefore command a Urge price.

City or Mexico, October 23, 1885.—Eigh teen years ago Inst June the Emperor Maxi- milian fell, pierced by bullets, on a hillsido nt Qneretnro, a slight eminence whicli the tourist via the Central railway may catch a passing glimpse of ns he enters that inter esting old town. But eighteen years have not sufficed to obliterate the inoinory of the emperor. In tho curio Khops here you still find the “Maximilian dollar* with his effigy, nnd tho beautiful Pasco remains to testify to his purpose of tnnking this onchnntingly situated capital the Paris of tho new world. A sturdily built, linndsome young fellow, himself the grand son of another Mexican Emperor, walks the streets of the city. This yonng man, ac complished nnd athletic, was adopted by Mnximilian ns his heir, and, though a revi val of imperialism is impossible, the Prince Itnrliide, ns he is universally called, may vet take an important part in tbe game of Moxican politics. Tho same government which cherishes the memory of tho Emperor Itnrliide re fuses to preservo the memorial of tho reign of tho Emperor Maximilian. Wnndering through the executive apartments nt the na tional palace the other day, I noted thnt wherever Mnximilian lmd left the crowned eagle, the government had obliterated the crown nnd left tho Mexican eagle crownless in republican simplicity. Bnt in the splen did chamber where President Diaz receives visitors THE CROWNED EAGLE REMAINS. This superb room is hung with crimson silk, on which is everywhere to be seen the crowned imperial eagle in raised figure. To have cut out of tho crown would been to spoil the hangings, nnd so they have been left, mute memorials of the dead ruler of Mexico. In the vast apartment known ns the Hall of Ambassadors—a place every tourist should visit— the portrait of tho Em peror Iturbido remains, but there is no relic of Maximilian. Yon must go to the Nntianal Museum, also in the pnluce, to see Maximilian's shite dinner service, which was an outrageous cheat if he the gave price of silver for it, because it is nothing but a wretched composite of base metals thinly plated the proportion being 95 per cent, base metal nnd 5 per cent, silver. Maximilian's state carriage remains on show, and a really gor geous affair it is. His bust by a Mexican artist is also preserved in the mnsenm, where are also liis orders and insignia. But all these things nre preserved, as we might keep the nniform of n captured British gen eral, as trophies of victory over an invader. The Mexican government hns not perse cuted the partisans of the Emperor. On the very street where I am writing lives, in a noble casa, the spokesman of the deputa tion of notuhles who crossed the ocean to tender to Mnximilian, nt Miramar, the fatal imperial crown.

THE MEXICAN PEOTLE DESIRED THE AUSTRIAN PRINCE to come nnd reign over thorn, that they were weary of republicanism and interminable nteruecine strife. The reply of the Prince was enthusiastic, and, in that samo spirit, Maximilian nnd Carlottn crossed the sens, believing thnt they were tho desired of the nexienn people.

Personally, Maximillinn was very popu lar with tho common people. His memory is not execrated, hut rather he is regarded with a pathetic sort of regret mingled with roproacbfulness. Maximilian was under bad influences. His military advisers here were mercilessly severe. They counselled harsh measures, and made the Emperor be lieve that he exhausted tho resources of of kindness, and should put the knife in up to the hilt. Mnximiliun and his wife were tbo ideal sovereign* of tho story books. They wore easy in their manners and kind to tbo common people; they were fond of one another, and hnd all the lovable vir lies, bnt the Mexican people, fiercely fond of liberty, resented their intrusion, and Jnnrez, the constitu tional president, hail earnest popular sup port in his prolonged resistance to the em- aro.

Soria was the Euqicror’s confessor, and was with him daring hia last few days, and what he hero say* most pass into history ss the true account of Maximilian's last moments, an account not yet printed in English. It was of Korin that Maximilian said; “It i* I who must console this good priest and not let him become ntterly overcome." “Tho night before his death," says the confessor Horia, “the Emperor wrote two letters, ono to the Pope snd tho other to his mother. He confided both to me, together with a handkerchief for his mother. “On the following morning 1 accompanied him to the place of execution.

Then the drums sounded, and i,, the presence of tho 4,000 soldiere assembled it was proclaimed tw whoever should raise his voice in bo hnlf of the condemned man would be to suffer the same penalty. Not a murmur was heard among the immense crowdstnnd- tng behind the troops. “At a given signal the three platoons fired. Mirnmon nnd Mejia fell dead at once, but Mnximilian did not die at the first discharge and tittered three groans Then they gave him the conp de grace " Uho priest Soria denied thnt M*et.«tn. n as the legend goes, guvo tho post of honor nt the place of execution to Mimmcn sav ing: “A brave man merit* the respect of his sovereign; take tho place of honor" The placing of tho condemned was by acci dent Thus a picturesque legend is dissi- patecl. The beautiful castle of Chapultepec whicli IS being refitted gorgeously for tho future offiend residence of Mexican Presi dents, was occupied by Maximillinn, and" nntil recently, remained just os he left it’ but bis embellishments have been mostly obliterated and the newly ornamented npartmenta will not, by their familiarity tempt tho shade of the dead Emperor to re visit tho castle. Wnndering under the an cient aud immemorial trees which sheltered the Emperor Montcznma and his court from the rays of the tropic sun, one rnnnot help recalling the historical procession which has pnssod beneath their gigantic brumdics. Before New York was fouSfied, here was a royal palace, and here a gorgeous court found its amusements and the rigid ceremonial etiquette of an Aztec imperialism was en forced. But no ghostly legend U related or the roREST or chapultepec, although hero fell many Moxicans nnd Americans in the nssault on the heights during tho war in which Scott won glory and Grant his earliest laurels. Across the seas, in the Castle of Mirimar, situated itself in a grand old park, the Em peror Maximilian’s shade is supposed to walk uneasily. This story is now being ro tated here in Mexico: Homo four months ago at noon a stranger arrived in a modest, hired cnrrtage at the castle. He was dressed in a light gray suit like any traveler, and asked thnt ho might be admitted to look at the in terior of the castle. The servants were completely overcome with astonishment and were filled with surprise nnd stupor. They, who nre all ancient servitors of the poor Archduko Maximilian, thought they saw before them Maximilian himself in flesh and hone, Tbo stranger lmd the COMPOSED OP THREE WRETCHED COACHES. I got into the tint with the Emperor, while Mirnmon and Mejia occupied, with their confessors, the other two, “Hardly had we left the convent of the Capnchinos when I was surprised to see Maximilian strike his breast, saying: " ‘I have put eight handkerchief* here to keep the blood from staining my uniform.' "Al] the rest of tbe way the Emperor buaied himself with praying ar.dr. com- '“'■nding bin soul to God. Bwt on seeing the Hill of the Bells he exclaimed: “ 'There is where 1 had thought to hoist the stamlard of victory, and there ia where I am going to die! life is a play f “And, of ter aome momenta of ailence.be ****** • b “«tifnl view! And what a beautiful day in die!" “When we had arrived at the place of ex oice, tho gesture, the physiognomy of him who wished to bo emperor of Mexico. But the astonishment of the servants grew still I (renter when tho strange visitor, passing through the halls nnd rooms of thociutle, showed himself to be perfectly nt home, noting verbally all the changes which had been mode in them since tho archduke hail left them. He noticed and commented on the fact thnt in on* salon the pictures had been transferred from ono tide of the apart ment to the other. Ho also spoke of tho excellent preservation of a carpet.

He recognised one of the servants, and re marked to him that he hod met him on board Maximil lion’s yacht. Before tho stranger left, one of the servants made bold to ask him his name, bnt the mysterious visitor excused himself, saying be had not his card case with him. The servants, be lieving they had really seen Maximilliau, rc- ] Mirted the matter to the steward of the cas tle, who reproved them for speaking of the matter at all, and enjoined absolute silence, Bnt hero is another circmnstonro whieli heighten* the mystery. Fivo days after ward a German stranger came to the castle, who said he came from Vienna. Hpcaking to the servants, he said that he know tho Emperor had been at the castle a few days lief ore, and added immediately that the Em peror had gone to Dalmatia. This is the latest Maximilian story, and ia given for what it is worth, and also as illoatrating the interest still felt here in Mexico in everything pertaining to the an- happy sovereign of threo yean sojourn here. Mnximilian undoubtedly contemplated many improvements for Mexico, bnt hewaa in the hand* of bis managers, the Emperor Napoleon IIL snd the French syndicate of bankers, who regarded the whole affair os a good financial operation. They mode more oat of the imperial fiasco than anyone else. Napoleon lost prestige, Maximilian his lifo and Carlotta her reason. Sentimental im perialistic ladies in Mexico still furtively wear miniatures of Maximilian, and tho day of hia execution on the hillside at Queretaro ta remembered by them. Bnt it is merely a romantic sentiment, and no new emperor in likely to claim the tbrono of Iturbidc or the Austrian prince, y. R. o.
