THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTOR: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY, 28, 1832.

Wjujiiikctos, February 19.—[Special Corres
pondence.]— Confess may now be said to be
into the core of the session. For the past
wool; a business-like steadiness hits been for
the first time noticeable. More than once
through the pictured glass roof of either house
fell the softened gaslight on the laboring
statesmen.
The senate took its usual holiday Saturday.
What reason there is for tills loss of a day
almost every week is never stated. The mo
tion to adjourn from Friday to Monday is
usually made and almost unanimously voted
for. In tiie bouse such a motion was defeated
qitf te properly last Friday., Congress does
not meet until noon, and is seldom in session
later than 5 o'clock, when what Carlyle calls
“the prompt nature of hunger” asserts itself
and the great men go out to eat and drink
like common mortals. It is true they some
times have to go to committees in the morn
ins, but even then they don’t hurry.
The capital is sleepy until toward 11 o’clock,
and at the hotels most congressmen breakfast
about 10. Many of them during a session
spend more time at the costly
dinners of Washington society than in com
mittee meetings and sessions put together.
S«u.ie instances of negiiger.ee are notable;
Sharon was not in the senate more than
oai-caweekon an average during his entire
term. His successor, Mr. Fair, is very regular
when lie is in Washington, though lie lias
greatsuch moneyed interests that he make fre
quent excursions to New York and St. Louis.
Sonic paper published last winter a state
ment that O'Rcinly, of Brooklyn had been in
liis chair but oucc in a month. His wife saw
it and wrote him a letter asking
‘‘where were you the rest of the
time?" A full and truthful reply would have
been rich. The people of Brooklyn saw what
a hardship it was on O’Reilly to be congress
man, and they relieved him with old “Riche
lieu’’ Robinson who was the “Gath” in the
days when his patron Horace Greeley was the
paragon of American editors.
Robinson’s stock of white lmir and his
figure bent as if under its weight, are amon
tilt- first things seen from the gallery.
Malidic has virtually abandoned the senate
this session. His absence has enabled the
democrats to carry two or three party vates.
Pew. if any of them, will pair with Mahone.
He is a unique figure and not a very amiable
one.
It gives me pleasure to bear testimony to
the punctuality ami devotion to duty which
characterize the Georgia delegation. We
have to represent us men who seem to appre
ciate the responsibility of their high station,
and they are found at their posts, I believe,
more regularly than the congressmen from
any other state,
Georgia has several sons bearing the com
missions of other states to this high work.
Mis.-ia?ippi is indebted to her for both sena
tors. Among the others is Clin Wcllboun, of
Texas, who came into this congress with a
bigger majority than anybody—a rplomlid
indorsement from the Texas district he repre
sented well once beforo.
Wellborn is one of the most striking figures
among flic three hundred on the floor. His
head is noticeably Welisterian in shape, par
ticularly in the broad, high brow.
His speech on tlic apportionment bill com
manded as perfect attention as any that was
made. It did him credit in matter and man
ner. He enjoys a great personal popularity
among the members, and that is a power for
any man in congress,
The administration's policy of making
a clean sweep of the democrats in
office is illustrated every
merits. Efficiency and fidelity are of the
least, account compared to political profession.

Nowhere is the inquisition so thoroughly
carried on as in the post-office department
where Hatton, like all men “puffed up with a

The chances are good for those who are
willing to conic to Washington from the

“bourlions” of the south and prav for the
coalition. The syndicate of coalition repub
licans and independent democrats claims to
have control of the patronage in Georgia, and
will give not the least morsel to any but the
soldiers in this new crusade.
The cit'zens of Forsyth intend to oppose
the confirmation of Mr. Joe Banks to succeed
Miss Mary Roddy as postmaster. Banks,
believe, fullv conics up to the coalition re
quirements, tint he is not what the people of
Forsyth desire in a postmaster. Petitions
asking the wit hdrawal of his nomination are
being" prepared, and he may have to walk up
hill in the senate.

Tin: xext presidency,
Senator Voorhees, referring t» (the story
telegraphed from here recently, to the effect
that certain prominent democrats,- Including
Voorhees, Morgan, of Alabama, and Jere
Black, were secretly scheming with Blaine
and Voorhees as candidates for president and
vice-[resident, for 1884, and give them the
sumiort of the democratic party, said the
story was too absurd to deserve. even con
tempt, that there was nothing 1 in it, and he
did not propose to dignify it by . taking any
notice of it. Senator Morgan,'of Alabama,
said the whole thing was auction; lie has seen
Main.* twice in as many mouths and then
only for a few moments at
time, and no reference to politics was
made in their conversation. Morgan
said: “I don’t think Blaine would ever trust
liis political fortunes to such democrats as
Voorhees, Jere Black and myself. I like
Blaine very much personally, hut he is not
the man I would nominate for president. I
believe in a straight, unadulterated democ
racy, and if 1 had my way Pwould place the
party on democratic principles. I would re

democratliUcThunuan orllondricks.or a nun)

dent. Senator Morgan added that he did not
believe in any. political coalitions, that he
would rather suffer defeat with a simon pure
denu -ratic ticket and platform than to wi
victory by a coalition and mixture of princi
pies. Among the democrats here this story i:
generally pronounced absurd and laughed at,
but there are a few, comprising those who are
not friendly to Blaine, who shake their beads,
ami sjy, if this story is literally true, they be

Washington, February 20.—[Special Cor-
respon lew c."—The 1 ous* will hare few more
and harbor bill. Southern rivers and ports
have never had a fair showing in this annual
bill, and of them all the most neglected have
been the rivers and harbors of Georgia. '
In the last congress Randall fixed the com
mittee so that scarcely any of Judge Reagan’s
plans could be carried out, while Cox fought
every clause of the bill on the floor.
From Keifer’s committee we can expect
little more, though the increased popular de
mand for such internal improvements may
bring good results.
The ports are all putting in petitions for
more than they can get. Every representa
tive, ambitious to secure practical benefits for
his constituency, is at work already to slip in
his favorite appropriation. Oi palling and
counter pulling, there will be enough. The
harbor at Savannah has never had anything
like justice. Savannah is becoming one of
the great outlctc for the commerce of the
country and with present railroad combina
tions will grow into greater importance every
year.
The United States engineer in charge of
southern coast improvements lias made full
surveys, from which he has perfected a sys
tem of improvement? for the Savannah river
that will meet the demands of its growing
commerce and lay open a permanent channel
to the sea for any amount of shipping.
These plans have been submitted to the
United States board of engineersand have re
ceived their approval.
To earry them out will require about
$750,000 and two years work. The
friends of Savannah will ask for $330,■
000 from the present congress. Their
petition will he pressed by Representative
Black and *he entire Georgia delegation, for
this is a matter of great importance to the en
tire state. In the senate Mr. Hill and Gov
ernor Brown are already heartily enlisted in
behalf of the injured port. They may, as
they did last year, secure an increase on what
ever the house first proposes to give. At any
rate a strong case will be made out for Savan
nah.
The claims of Brunswick, the upper Savan
nah river, the Coosa, the Chattahoochee, and
the Altamalia will all be duly canvassed.
Consider the fact that usually ten times as
much is asked for as is wanted and the diffi
culty of procuring anything like adequate ap
propriations will at once appear.
Thirty thousand miles of river are applying
for aid and they cannot all bo gratified, but I
doubt if any o'f them can put up as strong
a case as the rivers and harbors of Georgia
We shall have to depend on liberal republi
cans, for such men as Cox will hold close
their fists to the last, to make capital at home,
while Randall’s old prejudices will again crop
out.
The enormous demands of the Mississippi
river will dwarf the claims of the smaller
streams unless there is a united effort by rep
resentatives whose constituents have the mis
fortune to live away from the “ father of wa
ters.”
Senator Hill will be back from Philadelphia
in a tew days. He caught a cold last week
which has delayed his recovery. A letter re
ceived from Mrs. Hill yesterday stated that he
was rapidly getting we'll, was eating heartily
and had begun to read the newspapers. His
physicians are more hopeful than ever. Dr.
Gross, outside of his professional interest in
the case, has a warm personal regard for the
-senator.
A few days ago the president paid Mr. Hill
a neat compliment by sending to his home on
Farragut square a bouquet composed of the
rarest treasures of the white house conserva
tory. It was received by Mrs. Thompson,the
senator’s daughter.
The Garfield memorial services to take place
next Monday will present a most imposing
spectacle of solemn grandeur. Elaborate
preparations have been made, and the crowd
already in Washington will be swelled by
visitors from all pans of the nortli'and from
the neighboring southern towns. Special
tickets ot admission will be required to enter
any of the galleries, and so great is the de
mand for them that nearly every congressman
has already disposed of his limited allowance.
The presence of both houses of congress,
the supreme court, generals of the army, and
a long list of the most famous citizens of the
republic, is one of the chief attractions, but
the desire to hear Mr. Blaine s oration in
time being be sufficient to bring them under
the ban of opinion' in business life. Since
1865 almost everything available has been
used for purely speculative purposes, so much
so as to be gambling rather than any approach
to legitimate ventures m healthy conduct of
business. _ Stocks have been watered by huge
combinations; syndicates have been formed
to corner everything, and all our productions
and industries have been handled more in
reference to the bull and bear side of the
matters involved than to real values and
legitimate demands. These practices long
pursued mustbringcorrespondinglydUastrous
results to the parties participating and very
much unsettle the sound conditions on which
the work of tiie country should proceed in
he interest of stability and the just profits of
labor. This mania for speculation has even
embraced the staple articles of life as well as
the staple articles of commerce. If ours had
been an old country, overwhelming financial
disasters would long since have overtaken us,
but the immense development and expansion
of our agricultural productions and mining
wealth have saved the country as a whole,
with all the impairment that has been inflict
ed, and left us to observe the frequent indi
vidual wrecks that have come of the methods
of these flush times. At present two promi
nent staples enter into the troubles necessari
ly connected with them, and the very over
loading that brings trouble to producer and
operator, and all associated enterprise, must
be chargeable with the, evil results.
How many times the cotton and grain crops
of the country are sold in wiiat are called
“operations in futures” no one can tell, and
that i3 the foundation of the credit system
that reaches the cultivator of the soil and
makes him really a speculator in the value of
his own productions. The cotton crop has
been made an article of speculation even be
fore the seeds are planted. Supplies are
bought on a credit, fertilizers are bought on a
credit, and incidental uses of money are ac
commodated in the same way, and the pay
ment of these charges is usually provided for
by stipulating to deliver so many pounds of
cotton. This reckless system must in the end
damage all concerned, and may ruin many.
It is unnatural and unreasonable, and makes
the prosperity of one of the most important
.ndustries in. the country as unccr-
ain as the turn of a card. The large number
of laiiures reported in the south can be traced
to no other cause, and it is so manifest by the
sad experience of the last year that we hope
the planter will apply unto himself a new
and better rule of business. Diversify crops,
raise home supplies, pay cash for what is ab
solutely required, and when the crops are
sold that are produced on this basis the
money will go into the producer’s pocket.
We know of no more effectual way of re
lieving this class and all others engaged in
similar pursuits from the ruinous influences
of gambling in futures, so far as working
men are concerned, than to make this radi
cal change. As matters stand at present, the
producers as a class, by the ordinary methods
adopted in the conduct of their business, are
made to feed the very excitement that is so
damaging to them and all immediately con
nected. When the farmer makes his arrange
ments for liis single crop on the hazards of
the weather, and all the intermediate inter
ests to the bull or bear on 'change rest on the
same unsubstantial basis, we can see at a
glance how a failure to deliver the product in
the first instance will continue the disaster
through all the ramifications of this delusive
and dangerous system of speculation and
credit
honor of the martyred president will attract
the people more than all the other surround
ings of the occasion.

THE WEEK’S REVIEW—FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 24.
New York—The cotton market has been less ex
cited this week. and. although at times considera
ble fluctuations would occur, the tone has been
generally steady, and at the close to-day the mouths
were unable to reveal any important change iu
quotations. Duriug the early part of the week the
market continued quiet and steady with a slight
tendency upwards Subsequently, however, a
weak tone was developed which resulted in a gen
eral decline in all the future mouths. At the open
ing this morning the market seems to have regained
a foothold, and a general reaction followed through
out the day, which, for the late months, re-estab
lished the quotations of a week ago. The earlier
months, however, were less fortunate, and at pres
ent stand several points lower. During the day
a firm tone was quotable, but the strength was re
duced to steadiness at the close. There has been
nothing of unusual importance to take place this
week. The state ot the market is about the same,
and as heretofore its coarse is pretty well divided
in the estimation of the people. The spot market
has been quiet and remarkably steady, and 1154c
for middling is still quotable. Net receipts are ex
tremely light and indicate a heavy decrease as com
pared with last year.
Net receipts for the week ending to-day 59,415
bales, against 71,295 bales last week and against
136,112bales for the corresponding week last year;
exports far the week 78,075 bales; same time last year
99,194 bales; stock 1,054,289 bales; same time last
year 865,941 bales.
The local market during the past week has been
quietand steady and subject to no quotable change.
Holders seem to be resting easy, and as a general
thing are looking for better price?. The little ad
vance in New York to-day'stimulated a better feel
ing, and for a while this evening a brisk demand
was noticed. Receipts for the week ending to-day
amount to 1,332 bales, against 1,635 bales last week
and against 2,962 bales for the corresponding week
last year.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25.
New York—The cotton market has undergone a
complete change and its general appearance indi
cates more strengtn than has been exhibited in
some time. At the opening this morning futures
retained the firmness that was manifested at the
close yesterday, and with prices 8@10 points higher
began an upward movement which continued
throughout the day. About noon the market was
quoted steady, but subsequently the market verged
into a firm feeling which was sustained up to the
elose. There is still considerable excitement in the
market, and the heavy advance has created much
comment. At the close futures showed a gain of
20@25 points since the close yesterday. The spot
market has likewise improved to some extent and
an’advance of l-16c was quotable at the close;
middling now 1111-16C. Net receipts continue light.
Net receipts to-day amount to 6,572 bales, against
25,615 bales last year; exports 16,572 bales; last year
3,560 hales; stock 1,074,698bales; lost year 865,202
bales.
