A thoughtful
Commercial Bulletin reviews the pri
ces of iron, leather, cotton, wool,
wheat during 1880, and then continues:
“Leather and wheat were higher on
the 1st of January than at any subse
quent date; but cotton, wool and iron
readied dearer figures in March. The
latter month, in fact, witnessed a sort
of secondary boom in all kinds of mer
chandise, but it was of a very tempora
ry character, and after the 1st of April
the course of values was steadily down
ward for some months. At no time,
however, have prices of any articles
touched tbe bottom figures reached
previous to the boom of 1879. Cotton
has not been below He. daring the
past year, but it touched 9J£ in Janua
ry, 1879. Iron is |26 to-day against an
average of 117.62 for the year 1868.
Ohio XX wool has notsold below 43
c. for the year 1880, hut ruled as low
as 34@35 in April, 1879. And leath
er, which is ’selling to-day at 24@25c-,
touched 20c. in Jane, 1878.
The speculative movements of last
winter induced or compelled their
agents to crowd more than a legitimate
proportion of the year's business into
the space of a few months. Stocks of
merchandise or material which were
then accumulated have proven burden
some to some holders even up to the
present time. But the cautious feel
ing which has been engendered there
by has done much to prevent over
production by manufacturers and over
trading by merchants. The dull trade
of the last month has been enhanced
by a stringent money market. Bu
this influence is even now being remov
ed and will be still further abated by
the surplus revenues, which the Secre
tary of the. Treasury lets loose in the
redemption of tbe sixes of 1880. Dur
ing the coming year nearly $700,000,-
000 of U. S. five and six per cent, se
curities become redeemable, and over
$7000,000,000 of them are to be refund
ed. Tbo expectation is that these lat
ter will be placed in bonds bearing a
rate of interest considerably below 4
per cent, and the present rampant spec
ulation of the stock exchange is ascrib
ed to the theory that all values are to
rule higher hereafter as a result of the
anticipated issue of the low interest re
funding bond referred to.
“The consuming power of the people
has been large and increasing through
out the past year, no bettter evidence
of tnis fact being required than the
enormous and unprocedcntly profitable
traffic of the leading railroads. During
the last half of the year merchandise
values have been generally very steady
with symptoms of a hardening tenden
cy to-day in nearly all directions. And
we think it can be predicted with entire
safety that the general average of prices
for the year 1881 wiil be higher than it
is to-day.
Sxxatos McDonald, of Indiana, who
was married on Wednesday in Wash
ington, has been married twice before,
his second wife having died about a
year ago. The bride, formerly Mrs.
Josephine F. Barnard was divorced
from her first husband several years
ago. She.is quite handsome, and about
fifteen years the junior of the Senator.
A son by her former husband is a
Cork in the Treasury Department and
it married to a niece of John
Telegraph Companies Consolidated.
Official announcement has been made
that the American Union and the
Western Telegraph Companies
havo • been consolidated. This caus
ed an advance in Western Union
stock of from 80 up to 114)^ which has
caused immense excitement on Wall
street Jay Gould made the ton strike.
He, with a few others, wero tho only
survivors, while those who lost were
many, and the amounts very large.
Gould worked the wires, and it is said
he received cones loud and deep from
the speculative fraternity. There is a
general tearing of the hair and gnashing
of the teeth. The movement was a
surprise generally, for only recently a
prominent stock authority in New Yoik
commented as follows: “The progress
of the American Union Telegraph
Company m constructing new lines
made a vigorous opposition to the Wes
tern Union, and in the last quarterly
statement of the latter the decline in
net earnings was so marked as com*
pared with the same quarter in 1879
that the stock fell off very sharply.
It was reported also positively that con
tracts hid been given out by the Amer
ican Union parties for two new ocea n
cables to be laid next season.” An in
timate friend of Mr. Vanderbilt is said,
to havo lost $500,000, and a relative of
his $63,000; a former partner of Mr.
Gould lost $76,000, while a New street
operator comes out loser to the amount
of $150,000.
Thus the great monopolies are ad
vancing in strength, instead of weaken
ing, and while Mr. Gould reaps the
profits of his shrewd manipulations,
the people are to bear the burdens.
The Census of Georgia.
We have received from the Depart-
partment of the Interior “Census Bui-'
letin No. 42,” which foots up the cen
sus of Georgia as follows:
Males 761.162
Females 777,831
Natives 1,528,673
Foreign.... 10,310
White 814,218
Colored* 724,765
State total 1,538,983
•Including 17 Chinese, 93 Indians and
Half-breeds, and 1 Albino, and 35.
Thebe is little doubt that in the next
Congress the Bepublicans will endeavor
to increase the regular standing army,
in the face of the fact that there is no
menace of war from any quarter, and
that the Indiana problem, according to
the official reports, is substantially solv
ed. A Washington correspondent save:
“The army is top-heavy. We have of
ficers enongh on the active list for an
army five or six times the rise of oars.
Then the people are taxed to support a
retired list of about four hundrel of
ficers, who do nothing but draw their
pay. All these officers, all their friend^
and all their social alliances, resting
from tiie permanent system of mHilary
bureaus at the capital, are constantly
engaged in exerting influence to enlarge
the army, so that tho superfluous of
ficers may have at least the semblance
of employment Their efforts fit in
with the Republican policy, and if the
combinations now proposed succeed,
the army will be greatly increased in
the next Congtess.
These are numbers of colored peo
ple in office Jo this State now. They
ing regions of the United States, giving
the year, and a careful estimate on the_
basis of these returns of the final re
sult
The essential portions of the summa
ry are as follows:
The acreage has been materially in
creased since last season in nearly ev
ery part of the cotton section. We be
lieve it has been generally underesti
mated, and are inclined to think it
was 16,000,000 acres last season, and
the increase this season has been prob
ably ten per cent, making the acreage
of the present crop about 16,500,000
acres, which is 3,000,000 acres more
than the estimate of the United States
Agricultural Bureau.
Tbe weather and crop conditions
were generally favorable throughout
the cotton belt up to about November
1, the indications at that time pointing
to a very large yeild. Since Novem
ber 1 the weather has been extremely
unfavorable in the Atlantic States.
However, the crop was early, and
picking had made such progress that
the.loss by bad weather was not ma
terial. Killing frosts appeared early
in November, putting a stop to all and
cutting short the* late or top crop,
which, when frost is deferred till late,
adds materially to the crop. It is be
lieved that the “top crop” of last sea
son, resulting from unusually mild
fall and late frost, increased the yield
atleast 30,000 bales.
In. Texas, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisans, Arkansas Had Tcnnesee in
cessant rains, together with snow, sleet
and very cold weather, have seriously
retarded picking, and canted much in
jury and loss to cotton in the fields.
On tho low grounds, some cotton has
been submerged and entirely lost
Throughout all this section considera
ble of the crop is still unpicked. The
arger portion we think will yet be
saved, but much of it will be inferior
in quality, owing to the damage by the
weather and the carelessness with which
it will be handled in the hurry to pre
pare it for market by the near approach
of the time for commencing work for
the new crop.
As a rule labor has been inadequate
in the Atlantic States, in Texas and in
the Misaissippi valley. Tho indications
point to a crop of about

to 76,000 bales, say 60,000—estimated
total receipts for the season 6,937,000.

Overland movement and Southern
consumption for the season estimated
aamo as last year 784,000, making a
crop of 6,005,000. This allows for a
loss in receipts for the balanoo of the
season of 68,000 bales.
Figures are given concerning the de
livery at ports and the shipment to
Northern mills which, as compared
with the corresponding data during the
first four months of last season, show
an increase at all ports of 312,017 bales
and a decrease in the overland ship
ment of 66,105 bales, a net increase of
cotton in sight 01256,912 bales.
The crop of 1879-80 was 6,761^62
bales, and should none of the above in
crease of 255,912 bales be lost, tho
present crop will be 80,000 bales over
our estimate.
Last year Eastern spinners bought
very largely early in the season, taking
from the porta and overland by rail
roads from September 1 to January 1
919,104 bales. Up to this time this
season they have taken 843,917 hales.
There is every reason to believe that
this deficit of 76,087 bales in their tak
ings will be more than made up late in
the season, for their consumption will
probably be at lout 103,000 bales in
excess of last year.
“The*rise and fall of the Confederate
Government,” is the title of the new
book by Mr. Jefferson Davis, and on
which he has been engaged for the last
five years. The work is to be issued
by the Applctona, of New York, in two
large volumes at five dollars each, and
it is expected to be out in ninety days.
A representative of the house of Apple-
tons says that Mr. Davis has proceeded
in tho preparation of this history with
the utmost deliberation. He has taken
nothing for granted, but has examined
into the smallest details and sifted the
records. He was ambitious, too, to
give the work such scope as to make it
comprehensive as well as thorough.
His labor has, therefore, been immense.
Tbe name first determined on for the
work was “The History of the Confed
erate war for Independence; Its caus-
and results,” but the one now
adoptcd.is tbe better one.
Oua sprightly contemporary, the
Greenville, S. C. yeses, says:
The general receipt for the manu
facture of a distinguished anti- Itour-
bon is about:
Four parts cowardice,
Eight parts greed,
Four parts envy,, hatred and malice,
Four parts hypocrisy ;
Carefully extract all principle and
self-respect, and boil to’the consistency
of water, and you have tho article
complete, ready for purchase, salo or
trade.

girl of sweet sixteen, has just been left

The B. & A. K. K. Bonds. .
of Col. R. K. Hines, late of this city,
but now of Macon, baring been asked
by tho-e in authority and others, to
give bis views upon the act of the Leg
islature in refusing to validate the
bonda.of the Brunswick & Albany Rail
road, has prepared an able article on
the subject, completely vindicating the
action of the General Assembly.
- The extreme length of the document
forbids our publishing it in full. He
tells the whole history'of the transac
tion, the failure of the road to comply
with the conditions of the law granting
State rid. He shows how tbe New
York banker, Henry Clews, “went
back on” the President, Mr. Kimball,
in his promises of material essistanca,
thus rendering him powerless to re
deem his obligations—how the con
tractors, laborers, etc, were thus left
unpaid, and stud the read—bow the
State then inteivened and seized the
read—how every attempt to retrieve
the situation by «saivt«nce elsewhere
proved unsuccessful, and how at last
Clews came to grief for his non
fulfillment of his solemn and reiterated
promises. Bullock’s flight from the
Sta«e in October 1871, the utter failure
of Gov. Conley rad the.officers of the
road to make Clews pay the debts due
ft laborers who had faithfully per
formed their contracts, and the subse
quent repudiation by the Legislature of
$3,000,OCO of bonds which had been is
sued and signed in defiance of tbe char
ter, and contrary to the set of 1869 au
thorising their endorsement upon ex
press conditions, never fulfilled, all are
set forth in the paper of CoL Hines.
He re-produces much official corres
pondence throwing light on every
transaction that took place, and making
the whole matter patent to the mind of
the intelligent reader.
After completing the entire history
of the case, and ahowing that the State
had wrought no wrong to the bondhold
ers of the road by refnring to recognise
obligations that had never been com
plied with, Mr. Hines concludes
follows:
The bondholders are boand by what
is known in law as the law of estop
pels.
Tho contract of Georgia, in indorsing
their bonds, is very plainly a Georgia
contract, and all the legal principles
governing that contract and all its inci
dents and the rights of all parties Sow
ing out of it must, of coarse, he govern
ed rad controlled by Georgia law. By
turning to the code, section 3753, we
find “Estoppels. Presumptions of law
are sometimes conclusive, and aver
ments to the contrary will not be allow
ed,” and among the instances of estop
pels given in the following:
“Solemn admissions made in jndicio,
and other admissions, upon which oth
er parties have acted, either to their
own injary or to the benefit of persons
making the admission, and similar cases
where it wonld be more unjust and pro
ductive of more evil to hear the troth
than forbear the investigation-”
Now, even tbe bondholders had a
legal right to assert the validity of
these hoods, having asserted rad acted
ihc contrary, they cannot now be al
lowed to change their front They are
fully on record asserting that thi. State
State had repudiated its endorsement,
and therefore the courts should give
them certain 'Cgal rights and remedies.
They havo obtained these rights and
exhauslod these remedies to the enor
mous detriment of others and their
own great benefit, and cannot now be
permitted to stupily themselves by as
serting rights inconsistent with tho po
sition thus taken.
Having disposed, I think, of the legal
questions in the matter o! the first
rtgsge
ite, I th
inoi
Slate,
bondholders' claim on the
think every fair-minded man,
conversant with the facts, must say this
question is answered also. Had these
bondholders trusted to the State's hon
or, a different case would hare been
presented. If any feeling of sentiment
controls the fature action of the 8tate,
I wonld first call attention to that
largor class of claimants, among onr
own people, who have obtained noth
ing out of the case, and suggest that
“charity should begin at home.”
These bondholders now hold a road
over 180 miles long, which cost over
$3,000,000, running through one of tbe
finest forest of virgin pine in the world.
They have bat to equip the road, in
stead of, as now, utterly neglecting to
do so, spend some money in bunging
emigrants from Europre and locate
them upon thcr line, add to its facili
ties and business by completing it or
securing connections, and-give that at
tention to their investment required to
mike any business successful, and
very soon their property will pay them
Will and satisfactorily. Yours. etiL,
R. K. Hines.
JAY GOULD.
How Mach He is Worth-Hls Path
Strewed With the Shattered For
tunes of his Friends.
H W. a la Atlanta OoaoUtatioa.
I have asked a score of men lately
what Gonld was worth, and the answer
has run from fifty np to one hundred
millions. I snpect that the latter is
more nearly correct. He is'veiy active
rad tarns his money rapidly. Only a
month ago Vanderbilt caught him try
ing to break down Northwest and get
ting control of the stock, “squeezed”
him to tho tuno of $L800,000. But
Gould scorns to lock his millions np
in investments. The Aston have real
estate, Vanderbilt hat government
bonds and Jay has nothing bat money.
I suppose he thinks that a man
shouldn’t retire from boldness at forty-
five years of age. He is too rich now
to ever break and most he accepted as a
permanency, bat he'll find himeelf
floored many a time by betting against
tho country’* growth.
I ace from & Herald that Gould’s
profi’s In the Western Union apcculaj
tion are about $8,000,000—and that his
path to this consummation is, as usual,
strewed with the shattered fortnnes of
hia best friends. Ah, that Jay Gonld 1
He’s a cat!
The good that he coulddo if-he only
turned his resources to straightfor
ward developments is simply immeas
urable. His name is worth millions to
ly enterprise. He wanted $7,(00,000
Subscribed the other day to lay two
new cables, and in two noun
$8,000,000 was offered him. How
many Georgia Westerns this man could
build, if he could only get himself to
believe in honest progress, and material
development.
Bnt he has ordered otherwise. He
prefers the role of a stock-jobber. He
prefers to tear down, to uproot, to
bring chaos, disorder, confusion. He
has in him theseedsof evil, and threat
ens to become a curse to the country
that he owes every thing to—and to die
without leaving a monument to his
and wrecks to stand as mi
his way through life! -
The A

T*2*
American Republic has
ever had upon its hands. One half of
the country, it seems, wonld like to
mike him a pauper, and then worship
him as a prince; and there remains bnt
little to be done now to make him a
King—a King without a crown. Wo
learn from a Washington rligfmtr.fi that
at a meeting of the Senate Committee
on Military affairs on Tuesday last,
General Logan called np the bill intro
duced by himself in .the Senate on
Monday to place Gcaeral Grant on tbe
retired list of the army. Of coarse, he
urged action with the earnestnea which
a warm personal friend of the benefi
ciary wonld be expected to pnt forth.
The Republican members of the Com
mittee, as might have been expected,
showed a disposition to make a favora
ble report on the MU then and there;
but there was objection to haste by
some of the Democratic Senators, the
action of General Great daring the re
cent Presidential campaign bang espe
cially presented as obnoxious. Whit#
there-was no disposition shown by the
Democratic members of the Committee
to defeat the bill, they urged delay be
cause of the absence of some of tho
members. The biU wa1 fjjen laid aside
until Tuesday next. Therms hardly a
doubt but that the meaamJ’ill secure! 1
a favorable report, and pass tho 8enate.
When Mr. Hayes became satisfied,
says the Borne Courier, that Mr.
Tilden was elected President in 1876,
he made a speech at some place in
Ohio, in which he regretted his own
defeat only on account of the poor col
ored man. Mr. Hayes has now ior
nearly four years held the office end
exercised the powers of President—
which by right should hare been done
by Mr. Tilden—and whit has he done
for the “poor colored man?” All that
we can think of is that he withdrew the
troops from certain Southern States,
and thereby allowed the colored peo
ple to take care of themselves, and as a
consequence the relations of the races
have improved, and the negro has been
benefited. The best way for the North
ern people to care for the “poor colored
man” in the South is to let him alone,
and let those who are most interested
in the matter look after tbe colored

The House commiftee on military
affairs has derided, by a vote of six to
three, that General Grant should not
be placed on the retired list and made
a Major-General with the >ank and pay
of a General for life. Those who voted
in the negative were: General Joseph
E. Johnson, of Virginia; General Dibrell,
of Tennessee; Colonel W. E. Smith, of
Georgia; Mr. Sparks, of Illinois; Gen
eral Bragg, of Wisconsin, and General
Lefevre, of Ohio. The affirmatives
were: General F. M. Browne, General
Anson G. McCook and B, I. Marsh, all
Union officers in the late war. The
division was made by a strict party
vote.
Thomas C. Platt has been nominat
ed U. S. Senator by the Radicals of tho
New York Legislature, which is equiv-
olent to an election. Mr. Platt will bo

Hearing of Platt's nomination, Conk-
ling sent him the following telegram:
Washington, D. C_ Jan. 13,188L
To the Hon. Thomas C. Platt:
I congratulate the Republican party
and the State of New York on the
choice of a Senator who never apolo
gized for being a stalwart Republican.
Roscoe Conxlino.
A gentleman who stands high in
the scientific - world. Prof. Fontaine,
predicts that the year 1881 will be most
unusually wet, and warns planters
against relying wholly upon cotton.
Two things the people of Georgia
are tired waiting for—Dr. Felton's
threatened speech and Henry Grady’s
Among other new industries starting
up in New Orleans is a new cotton
milt, to cost about $150,000. with 8,000
spindles, 62 carders and 320 looms, to
give employment to 320. hands; a new
ice factory, to cost something like
$150,000. and to give employment to
shoot 73 hands, turning ont 25,000
tons of ice annually; and a new
ging' factory, with $100,000 of capital,
to give employment to about 200 huda.
Here are three enterprises requiring
>400,000 capital, that when completed
will give employment to upwards of
600 persons, and distribute $200,000
yearly in the shape of wages, and the
Picayune, from which this informa
tion is obtained, says there is a fair
prospect of the building of another
large cotton mill there.
