Reports from Atlanta indicate that Jndge
Thomas J. Simmons, of this circuit, is au
aspirant for the position on the Supreme
bench, made vaoant by the death of Jnstioe
Hall. It is not diffloult to understand how
and why Judge Simmons ahonld attraot oer-
tnin snpport to his olaims. It is difflonlt
comprehend how any legislator, having a
proper respect for the judicial department
‘ this State, and the establishment of good
and clean methods, oan support the olaims
Judge Simmons.
Granting to others the opinion (in which
do not oonour) that he has the merelcgal
qualifications for tho position, intelligent
minds if honest will admit,(that he has not
|broad morale and the soholastio ac
complishments that would make him the
eqnal of other men who could be found.
Bat a abort time tinea and ho, abandon-
the poaitlon of duty, was tramping the
State in advooaoy of his own politioal ambi
tion, to the dUgraoe of the position which
had been bestowed upon him and to the
disgust of the people.
Judging from this bo might easily
induoed to use farther power be
stowed upon him for the dirty politioal pur
poses of himself and those who may aid in
promotion.
As a publio journalist, devoted to the in
terests of the people, well acquainted with
their opinions and fully aware of the im
perative neeeassity for a reform of the
methods and practioes under wbioh they
bavo suffered in the past, we recoguiza it to
a duty to enter this protest, and let oth-
asaume all responsibility.
If Legislators oan find it consistent with
their own consciences, and views of their
duty, as public servants, to approve of tho
esnd ct of Judge Simmons to which we
have referred, they may find a way to vote
him. If they cannot do so, they will
grievously aroug themselves and their con
stituents by supporting him.

Cotton Statement.
From the Chronicle's ootton artiole of
Sept. 2, the following facts are gathered
relative to the movement of the orop of the
past week:
For the week ending thU evening (Sept,
the total receipts have reached 39,309
bales, against 19,270 bales last week, 9,649
bales tho previous week and 7,270 bales
three weeks since, making the total receipts
since the 1st of September, 188G, 15.519
bales against 11,763 bales for the same
period of 1885 6, showing an increase since
8emptember 1,1886, of 3,756 bales.
The receipts ol all the interior towns for
this week have been 25,637 bales. Last year
the receipts of the same week were 21,9-10
bales. The old intorior stocks have in
creased daring the week 900 bales and are
to-night 19,142 bales less than at the same
period last year. The receipts at tho same
towns have been 6,369 bales more than the
same week last year, and since September.
the reoeipts nt all the towns are 1,653
bales less than for the same time in 1885 (L
Among the interior towns, the receipts at
Macon for tho woek have boon 947 bales.
Last year the receipts for the week were 371
bales. This shows an inoreaso for the
week of 676 bales.
Although tho reoeipts at the outporta tho
past week were 39,309 bales, the actual
movement from plantations was only 39,846
the balance going to inorease the stooks at
the interior towns. List year the receipts
from the plantations for the same week
were 21,937 bales, and for 1885 they were
27,100 boles.
The imports in continental ports this
week have been 3,000 bales.
The figures indicate an inorease in the
cotton in sight to-night of 121,370 bales aa
compared with the same date of 1886, au in
orease of 80,425 as compared with the cor-
responding date of 1885, and a dccreaso of
253,986 as compared with 1884.
The Ohronlole has the following to say of
the market fluctuations for the week under
review:

tendency of prices of cotton for future delivery

BEUNION ESTDUilAsnCALLT EXCEXTED.
In teferenoe to the rennion of Confeder.
ateboldlers and their review by ex-President
Davia, Col. Northen said that ha had con
vened on the subject with gentlemen from
Texas, Lonlaiana, Arkansas and New York.
They all spoke enthusiastically of it, and
from the flnt three States, said they wonld
oome to Msdbn on the oecarion, and that
they were certain that the old aoldicn from
these States wonld be largely npreeentod.
They thonsht it a magnificent idea to gather
all the old eoldlen in n grand rennion in ao
central a place as Macon, with a* many
sent rale aa possible, to be reviewed by ex.
President Davis.

The New Yorker lives in Elmira. He
•aid ho was a Union soldier. He thought
the idea splendid. When caked if tho
North wonld take any exception to anch
grand demonaUratiun, he said probably _
tew wonld, u there are fools ana cranks in
every body of men, from tho missionary
church to the Grand Army of the BepnbUo.
For hinuelt he fit delighted at the idea.
There waa aomething romantically thrilling
and nobly tender in the ex-Prcsident hav
ings final review in bU declining years of
all the surviving soldier* cf hia great army.

self to witness the rennion; and he doubted
not that many of the veterans of the

in being present.
