Oold Down in New York.
Gold opened in New York on the 10th ins*.,
at 120$ and closed at 120$. Since the explosion
of the Gold Board some weeks ago, the premium
upon it has varied bat little from these figures.
A more healthy state of affairs has prevailed in
the gold market m Wall street, since Corbin
took in Fisk, Gould, and others of the reckless
gamblers that made gold a mere matter of spec
ulation at the expense and to the detriment of
the legitimate business of the country.
The Tcnnenm Leclntatnre—Naahvlile and

dehtednese. His road owes over a million and
« half of dollars anti be says it cannot possibly
pay this amount So says the Nashville Union

Dcatb ot (be Hon. Ituhtn X.. Hatchlim.
We deeply regret to learn that this old and
highly esteemed gentleman, died on Friday
night last, at Social Circle. The deceased was
iorg ft c'tizen of Gwinnett county, in this State,
and but a lew days ago paid a visit to our sanc
tum, while en route to Augusta. We remember
congratulating him upon hii apparent health and
vigor, but alas! who knows “ what a day may
bring forth 1” No man in the circles in which
ho moved, was more beloved. Peace to liis

The Rtebl* Of married Women.
Married women in South Carolina will soon
ar quire control of their own property. The
Legislature bas just passed a bill which provides
that no real or personal properly held by a mar
riage shall be subject to levy or sale for her
husband’s debts, but shall be her separate prop
erty, and that she may manage and dispose of
the same in all respects as though sbe were a
man.
Donation of Public Land*,
Senator fSchurz has introduced a joint resolu
tion into the Senate providing that no State that
ins not received its proportion of grant of lands
donated by the United States for agricultural
and mechanical colleges, shall in future receive
such lands, unless said colleges to be established
shall provide facilities for instructing all, with
out regard to race or color. Referred to Com
mittee on Education.
Too IQkcb Silver.
Canada, it is said, is fairly groaning under its
load oi silver. Too much hard cash is bringing
rain upon her merchants, upon her farmers,
upon her laborers. Silver is at a fearful dis
count. The shop-keeper who takes in forty or
tifty dollars a day cannot deposit it in bank
without submitting to a shave of many per
cent. Relief is prayed lor, and it seems is about
to come; in the shape of a fractional currency
—a remedy worse than the disease. California
groans under its load of gold, while most of the
Northern States groan under their load of de
preciated currency. The South groan for both,
neither gold, nor silver, nor currency, being in
sufficient quantities to purchase her produce as
in the better days of the Republic.
A Terrific Explosion.—A special from
Clarksville, Tonn., to the Nashville Union cB
American, dated the 10th iost.. says :
“The locomotive on the freight train No. 0,
from Louisville, exploded this evening at 4
o’clock. Thos. J. Bradley, engineer, was billed
and firemen Thos. Campbell and John Cousem
supposed to be mortally wounded. The explo
sion was terrific and could be heard in every
part of the city. Fragments weiging 3,000
pounds were thrown 300 yards. The accident
occurred just as the locomotive cleared Red
River trestle. Had it occurred one minute
sooner, the train would have been a perfect
wreck.’’
It niter's Plan for Removing Disabilities.
The bill recently reported from the Recon
struction Committee in Congress by Butler for
tlto icmoval of political disabilities because cf
nels committed by “Southern Rebels,” provides
ns follows:
“ A person desiring to avail himself of the
provisions of the bill may petition court in the
State or Territory in which he lives, giving a
particular description of the acts done by him,
against the government, and declaring he in
tends hereafter to act and conduct himself a3 a
loyal citizen of the United States; he is required
to pray to be restored to his rights, and all he
has lost by his wrougiui conduct Public notice
is t > be given tbit a bearing will be had. On
proving bis statements by witnesses, the Court
shall issue a certificate restoring him to all his
rights, thus removing his disabilities. False
swearing is to be punished, as ia perjury cases.
The removal of the disabilities is not to affect
property lost, captured or destroyed by the army
of the United States." v
“ Magnanimity ia a conqueror,” is a thing we
hive read of in ancient time. We wonder if
the Reconstruction Committee that reported the
foregoing bill ever knew what “ magnanimity ”
meant ?
The Tea Plant.
Wc see it stated-that a Mr. James Campbell,
rcsiuiug some ten miles east of Knoxville,
Tenn., has fifty teaplants in a flourishing con
dition, which were planted eleven years ago.—
Though neglected during the war, and exposed
to the depredations of cattle (the owner having
been away in Texas,) they are now five feet
high and apparently doing well. So convinced
is Mr. Campbell of the success ot his attempt
that next year he purposes planting all the seed
gatheicd the past season. This experiment
would seem to demonstrate tbc adaptability of
the climate in that latitude to the growth of the
tea plant, and any lack of knowledge concerning
the habits of the plant, and conditions most fa
vorable for its culture may now be easily sup
plied by the Celestials themselves, now pouring
into the country.
It may be, says the Philadelphia Press, "that,
not many years hence, our Southern States will
rank lea among tbeir staples, and save to the
country the large amount now sent to Asia for
this article ot universal consumption.” We be
lieve so. as much as we do, that ere many years
hence, tbc South will supply the North and the
World with manufactured goods from ihe great
staplo sbe grows, and which is now being man-
nlactured elsewhere.

The New York Mercantile Journal referring
to I he ta<t that some of the oldest common—
wealths .it,,f fbe national body have only
just been ri admitted to tbe Union, ot which
they were, iu a great degree, tbe very founders;
and to others born but yesterday that are ac
quiring population and* wealth with 3uch phe-
nominal rapidity, as have such unlimited re
sources oi miaerals, as well as agricultural
riches, and enjoy such advantages of climate
aDd position, as to utterly eclipse the progress
and the prospects of any State that bas preceded
them ; says there is yet a third class “ with all
tbe age of the first that we have mentioned, but
not so wide a range of resources as the second,
have gradually acquired commanding strength
in manniactores and railroad enterprise, and,
including most of the great Eastern seaports
aDd monetary centers within their boundaries,
have control of the markets and exchanges.”
This is a striking subdivision of the country,
or the States, a3 they appear now to tbe observ
ing, but to tbe Statesman, says tbe same paper,
“ who looks beyond tbe needs and passions of
the fleeting hour, the contemplation of this triple
series of free States living under one govern
ment, is a grave, even while it is an admirable
spectacle. What weighty, nay, vital questions
may there not arise within the next ten years
out of this triplex grouping of interests and
power, and how difficult may it not be found to
reconcile them, unless we lay the foundations,
now, broad and deep, tor future harmony and
prosperity.”
The broad and deep foundations which the
Journal in summing up its article, declares to be
the panacea lor harmony and peace in the future
is “ financial reconstruction ”—this it conceives to
be tbc real reconstruction the coautry needs.—
True in part, but without political reconstruc
tion, wc apprehend that financial reconstruction
will never come, if by that is meant a return to
a specie currency. Without a full development
of the resources of the South, and the privileges
accorded to the Southern States of regulating
their own labor and their o a n enterprises in
tbeir own way; if being represented in tbe balls
of the national council by men of their own
choice, and the removal of all disabilities from
their people imposed upon them by reason of
the war; there will never come the financial re
construction that paper crmceives to b3 the only
real reconstruction ot the country. In the past, it
cannot be denied that the products of the South
ern States cammandcd and brought more specie
to the country than all the other sectional divis
ions of it put together. Cotton, and Sugar, and
Rice, gave the country three-fcnrths of tbe
specie it annually required for commercial, we
might add, all financial purposes. They were
products that never tailed to bring specie, or its
equivalent, from abroad, and when politically
reconstructed, the same States, even in a greater
degree, will do the same work over again.
Cramped, however, as they now aie ; restricted
and subjected to pernicious legislation ; they
cannot do what they would, and until political
reconstruction takes place, and they once again
become Irue, they can do but little towards pro
moting financial reconstruction. Will our New
York cotemporary note this fact, and aid iu
eiving liberty again to the Soutdern States?
This accomplished, and one of the three great
subdivisions o‘ the country, the South, will soon
be in the field directing all its statesmanship
and influence to the promotion of that financial
reconstruction which the Journal thinks to be
the real reconstruction the country now needs.
And lor Georgia, we say, she will be in the lead.

< ii it Ik' Life of Daniel Webster.
This wmk is highly extolled by the Northern
press The following Irom the Boston Post is
so touchingly beautiful that we transfer it to our
columns:
“Nodiamaever terminated with a profounder
pathos than does the recital of the last few days
of the life of Daniel Webster, by Mr. Curtis.—
It torms the conclusion of liis elaborate and com
prehensive biography of the departed States
man, and is the worthy testimonial of a sincere
triend to ffie mem ry of a man whom it was an
event to know. The ambition ot life had been
satisfied with the final discovery of his hollow
ness. The strife of politics had lost all its zest
The world of me n and their dashing interests
had lost its never certain attractions. The pen
etrating eye had searched, and searched in vain
for the foundation of tbe earlier promises. The
wearied public man sat down with himself
where he had set up his rest, and considered of
tbe utter emptiness ot everything but the con
scientious performance of duty, the steady
developn oat of the character according to
a high ideal, and tbe inw-trd aspiration
after that peace which runs parallel
with the efforts and prayers lor perleciion.
Nothing can be m ire touching than the great
man’s dying request that a light should be hung
at the top of that rude little mast, where be
could see it, ni^bt an i morning, through bis
window; or tlie words he lett, as his richest
legacy, to devoted retinue ot house servants; or
those strokes of gay humor which broke, like
the setting sue, through the gathering clouds ol
his fatal illness; or his familiar citations from
the Scriptures, and irem favorite domestic poets;
or his childlike desire to know when his feet
were to begin to tread tbe dark valley, and his
eyes to catch a glimpse of the great unknown
beyond. Politics seem trivial in comparison
with scents like these, and leave no personal
lessons at all related in abiding interest and
value.”
We should like to read that book. Of the
immortal trio—Clat, Oalhocn, and Webster
—the American people cannot know enough.
The salary ot Chief Justice Chase is a little
over six thousand dollars. That ot. General
Sheridan over fourteen thousand 1 How’s that
for high ?
A Washington correspondent says: “ Tbe I
President’s nomination to the Senate to-dav ot j
bis own lather, Jessee R. Grant, to be post- j
master at Covingtou, Ky., created a great deal
of amusement at the Capitol. Grant, senior,
was first appointed by President Johnson, but,
as his com miss’on was about to expire," his son
reappointed him.”
Well, the old man was in office, and surely his
ton would not turn him out 1
The Legislature.
The proceedings ot both branches ol this
body, which couveucd on yesterday at the Capi
tol, appear on the oiher side of this paper. But
few ot the members were absent; perhaps a*l
who were, will he present this morning to take
part in the Senatorial elections which are the
order tor to day. We are not advised whether
any oilier elections will come off or that any
legislative business, other than this, will be done,
but think it probable, after the elections are over,
that th< re will l>2 another recess until Congress
shall have passed n bill to admit the State into
tbe Union We- are gratified to lea n that, on
yesterday, the temper of both branches appeared
to tie kss turbulent than on previous occasions;
and we have hopes, when the work ot legisla
tion begins, be it sooner or later, the material
interests ot the State will rective prompt and
efficient attention—that tnere will be less dis
play of politics before both houses, and more
that is absolutely essential to the prosperity of
the State and the people.

As my friend, Col Sneed, of the Savannah
Republican, is in doubt as to the place of my
residence, I propose to inform him that in July
last, I became a resident of Atlanta, and that
being pleased with its Invigorating climate, the
activity, energy, enterpi He and kind ieeUng of
its citizens, I expect to receive his paper here,
until he is advised to the contrary.
1 also inform my friend that 1 belong to the
Republican party—Radical if he prefers—and
became a member ot it, by voting for General
Grant, at a time, and under circumstances when
a gentleman had to make considerable narriflnt
to do it in Georgia. At a period In our politi
cal history when a man who dared to think and
vote for men and for measures in which the
interests and well being of our people were in
volved, according to the suggestions of a calm
and philosophic mind, and enlightened con
science, he bad to part with old friends and
former associates, to be proscribed and ostra
cised, and to bear np against a degree of yidic-
tive intolerance, such as I trust the people
of this free country may never again be called
on to endure. Sir, I am a radical, if uncom
promising support of the principles of the Re
publican party as enunciated by its National
leaders make me such, to-wit: in favor of liber
ty of thought and freedom of speech, of univer
sal education of all classes and colon, of extend
ing to our colored population freely and with
out prejudice or grudging all those political and
civil rights which they have acquired by the
change from slavery to freedom, of extending to
them the lull protection of oar laws which they
have a right to expect at oar hands more than
from any one else, of advocating to the fullest
extent the speedy adoption of each measures as
Congress, the law-making power of oar Govern
ment, may enact to restore the Union of thise
Stales on a firm and perpetual basis, of such a
line of policy as will engender peace and con
cord in the social relations of oar people in
every section of this Union as tbe most effective
and poweriul instrumentality of inaugurating an
era of prosperity and progre ss and development
in our Southern country, such as was never
dreamed of by our forefathers.
Such, I conscienciously believe to be the ob
jects and aims oi tbe Republican party, and
which its ojgamzrtion will certainly effect it
administered and used for the public good, and
not for individual good and aggrandizement.
In conclusion I have to inform yon, that as I
do not belong to any particular wing of the
party, but to it a9 a whole, whenever my politi
cal aspirations are gratified, 1 will be indebted
to the party, and not to a few individuals of it
who may essay to rule and govern through
caucusses or otherwise.
Thanking you for so much space in your
paper, I am, very truly, yours, &c.,

An Elephant and two Camel* Attacked
by Alligator* In a Vlorlda Swamp—Ter
rific Battle and Dcatb of one Camel
Two Dogs and a Colt.
The peregrinations ot showmen are beset
with numerous difficulties while pursuing their
dsily avocations in this our Southern couutry,
which with the usual winter rains, heavy roads,
and lording of streams, makes it very difficult
for the managers to make good the promises of
the agents. Such was tbe case with John Rob
inson’s Circus and Menagerie a tew days since.
While performing in Tallahassee, Fla., it was
mentioned to Mr. J F. Robinson. Jr., that he
might expect some difficulty in passing through
a long and dismal swamp between that place
and Quincy, on account ot the large number of
alligators which infested the lord at this partial
lar locality, and who are at this season ot the
year very lerocious, and on the watch for any
unfortunate mule or horse that may become
entangled in the numerous roots, quicksands,
and holes, which abound at tbe ford; but he
replied as the agent bad already made the
arrangements lor him to go through, and it was
not fits nature to turn back, he had nothing left
but to follow, trusting to his previous good for
tune in getting thus tar. 1 he result ot his de
cision, although anticipating some difficulty,
was tar more serious than he anticipated.
At three o’clock P. M., on Tuesday, January
25th, Prof. Lewis Houston, who has charge ol
the animals, started with the elephant Empress,
the large Bractian came), the beautiful Arabian
white camel, a fine thoroughbred mare and colt,
aud two spotted coach dogs, to make the trip
to Quincy, although repeatedly warned by Mr.
J. J*\ Robinson, Jr., not to attempt the passage
ot the swamp in any other than daylight. He
however went through. Before approaching
the ford, an occasional bellow or roar was beard
betokening that the inhabitants of the locality
had not retired lor the night, and a sudden
plunge and plash in the water would denote
that the enemy were on tbe alert for mischief
The elephant would every tew steps, throw her
trunk alolt, emitting at the same time a load
screech of defiance, the camels ottering low
moans while the horses almost refused to stir,
and stood trembling with ft ar, while the dogs
kept up an incessant howling. Approaching
the water ot thetoid, Houston determined upon
the immediate passage through before the alliga
tors bad time to summond tbeir crew.
Bidding the elephant enter, sbe stepped bold
ly in, at the same time lashing tbe water furious
ly with her ttunk, the camels, horses and dogs
billowing close in the rear. He had passed
two thirds ot the way when a sharp yelp from
one ot the dogs, and his sadden disappearance,
denoted that the swamp fiends were at work,
and belore he conld collect his thoughts the
other dog went under with a long death howl.
He now began to think of bis own safety, and
calling to the elephaDt commanded her to tarn
as she did. So a tearful roar was heard from
the large Bictrian camel who had at tbatinstant
been ait icked. The water seemed alive
with alligators. The roaring, bellowing and
screeching ot elephant, camels and alligators
were ttrrific. They would throw their ponder
ous jaws open and tear huge pieces of flesh
from the camel, while the poor brute would
utter heartrending groans and cries lor relief.
In the meantime the elephant was not idle
Ever solicitous for tbe welfare ot her keeper and
companions, sbe bad, at the moment of seeing
them safely lauded upon the opposite shore,
rushed back to the assistance of her friend, tbe
camel, who by this time was nearly gone, and
by creating the greatest furore among her
assailants, succeeded in bringing the head of the
camel to the shore, that portion being all that
remained ot the poor animal.
In ihe contusion that ensued, Houston did not
miss tbe colt until warned by a shrill scream or
neigh which seemed to come Irom seveial rods
( elow. Upon rushing down the stream a lew
vards a terrible scene was presented to his view.
It would seem that the denizens ot Cbattahoo
elite swamp for mites around had become cog
nizant ot some extra attraction at tbat particu
lar point on this night, and bad started lor the
rendezvous, and upon reaching the.scene of
action had unexpectedly encountered both food
aud opposition at tbe same lime—for, simultane
ous with the meetirg of the colt they met their
pursuers, and an awful battle ensued. Several
lious it seemed as if the colt would escape and
regain the shore, so busy were the alligators in
destroying each other; but just before the poor
creature would reach the iand, seme mon
ster, more ravenous than brave, would
leave the melee, pursue and drag it
back into deep water until finally it became ex
hausted and fell an easy prey to the fearful reptiles
while Professor Houston stood looking on with
blanched anti-tanned looks, wholly unable to
render tbe least assistance, threatened with a
terrible death should he even attempt it Ashe
formd to retrace his steps towards the place
where he left the remaining animals, he counted
the rest. He had made the passage, bat at a
terrible sacrifice. He had started with an ele
phant, two camels, two dogs and two horses.
He came out with an elephant, one camel and
ue horse. The camel was valued at $5,000,
aud vfciy rare. The colt Mr. Robinson had re
peatedly retused $1,000 lor. It will be many a
long year before Houston will forget tbehorrors
of passing through a Florida swamp at night

SIXTEENTH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS.
Monday, February 14,1870.
SENATE.
The Senate met at 10 o’clock.
Prayer by Rev. Mr. Smith.
The roll of last meeting read and approved.
Mr. Henderson was sworn in for the 3d Dis
trict.
Mr. Speer.—Resolution tbat both Houses of
the General Assembly proceed to-morrow, viva
voce, to elect Senators to Congress for 1871-1873-
1877.
MB. MEBKIL’S REMAKES ON THE RESOLUTION
OF MR. SPEER
Mr. Merril held the following positions: We
sbould elect Senators to the Congress ot the
United States, because this present Legislature
has been organized under the act of Congress,
22d December, 1869, and is the only legal Leg
islature we have had since the war. The pas
sage of the act of Congress, in question, was
conclusive on this point. The rejection of
Johnson and Stevens, tbe present failure ot Hill
and Miller, clearly indicate the position of Con
gress on this question. We should proceed
with this election, because we can be regarded
in no other legal light than as a provisional
Legislature until this is done and our Senators
are received into Congress.
Mr. Higbee.—Substitute, that the General
Assembly proceed to elect on Tuesday next
Senators for Congress.
Mr. Candler opposed the resolution and sub
stitute. He should not vote until there was a
vacancy.
Mr. Brock protested against indecent haste.—
Georgia is not ready jet, could not elect if they
attempt, for there were 55 Bullockites. 55 Bry
ant Democrats, and 66 true men. He continued
at some length.
Mr. Higbee withdrew his substitute.
The vote on Mr. Speer’s resolution was taken,
and was yeas 20; nays 12.
Those voting for the resolution were:
Brock, Brutton, Campbell, Coleman, Corbit,
Dickey, Dunning, Griffin of the 6th, Harris, Hen
derson, Higbee, Hungerford, Jones, Merril, Mc
Whorter, Richardson, Sherman, Speer, Stringer,
Welch—20
Those against:
Bowers, Bradley, Burns, Candler, Fain, Hifl-
ton, Holcombe, McArthur, Smith of the 7ih,
Smith of the 36th, Traywick, Wallace—13.
On motion of Mr. Speer, the resolution was
transmitted to the House.
The Senate adjourned till to morrow morning
at 10 o’clock.

The Clerk read the Journal of the House.
A colored member from Chatham moved to

ed to select a Chaplain. Motion lost.
A Message was received from tbe Provisional
Governor. The Message recommended the seat
ing of Representatives Johnson, of Forsyth,
and Rogers, of Union.
A Message from the Senate announced the
passage of a resolution to elect three U. S. Sen
ators to morrow; one for the term expiring
March 4.1871, and one for tbe term expiring
March 4,1878, and one for tbe term expiring
March 4,1877.
Mr. Scott, of Floyd, objected to the qualifica
tion of members by Judge Black, on the ground
that he is a Register in Bankruptcy.
A communication from General Terry stated
that he considered the House to be properly or
ganized for complying with the conditions laid
down by Congress, as essential to the restora
tion of Georgia to the Union.
Mr. Scott desired some information, and tbe
Spekker stated tbat tbe House wrs organizing
under the reconstruction acts.
Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, objected to any gen
tleman’s catechising tbe Speaker.
Mr. Scott, of Floyd, proceeded to a9k it the
House was governed by the Code of Georgia.
The Speaker said be bad answered tbat ques
tion.
A communication from J H. Penaland stated
tbat he had signed an application to Congress
to be relieved of his disabilities. He now learned
tbat be bad none, and desired to resume bis
seat
Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, considered it res ad-
judicata.
Mr. Shumate asked for the readiag of Mr.
Pendl&nd’s affidavit.
- Mr. O’Neal objected, and the Speaker sus
tained him, referring to General Terry’s Order,
No 9
Mr. Shumate obtained the floor and ap
pealed.
Tbe Speaker refused to entertain the appeal.
Mr. Shumate desired to have the claims ol
Mesars. PencflaDd and Rogers to be again reier-
red to tbe Military.
Tbe Speaker decided that Mr. Rogers must be
sworn in. He could not do otherwise.
Mr. Scott, of Floyd, appealed from the de
cision. Not entertained.
Mr. Anderson, of Cobb, asked if tbe Chair
was governed by Gen. Terry, the reconstruction
acts, or the Code ot Georgia?
The affidavit of Mr. Pendland was filed.
Mr. O’Neal objected—sustained by Speaker.
A motion was made to concur in tbe Senate
resolution regarding the election of United
States Senators.
Mr. Scott opposed tbe election of three Sena
tors. He be.ieved that the law only provided
tor two. The reconstruction laws did not pro-
videlor it; nor did they provide for the qualifi
cation of members by a Register in Bankruptcy.
Wb&t parliamentary rules governed provisional
Speakers and provisional bodies? The House
htul no right to elect Senators until the United
States Senate decided against the admission ot
Messrs. Hill and Miller.
Mr O’Neal replied. He referred to the Code
of Georgia as authorizing the election of three
Senators in this particular instance. He gave
hi9 views at some length.
Rev. H M Turner, colored, said something
about the normal and abnormal relations ot a
Slate to the General Government. Could not
the Senatorial election be postponed without
violating any law ?
Mr. D’Neal differed with Mr. Turner. He
knew Turner was afraid of Ku Klux.
Turner said that he prelered to remain under
military rule for another year.
Previous question was called and tbe main
question put. Cariied.
A resolution was adopted tendering the use oi
the Hail to Mrs. Oliver to morrow night for the
purpose of delivering a lecture on Female
Suffrage.
Honse adjourned until 10 o’clock, to morrow.
JU8T as we go to press, the painful tidings
reach ns ot the death of Judge Wm Stroud, on
the 9th instant. .
He was quite advanced in yearn, and had
spent the remnant ot bis days in great affliction.
In bis death, Clarke county sustains a heavy
loss. He was folly alive to all tbat concerned
the public good. His opinions and policy were
well deliberated, and favorably received. He
was the recipient ot official honors, bestowed by
the willing suffrage of bis constituents in tbe po
iitical arena—holding positions ot importance,
and always discharging the duties thereof to the
satisfaction ot his own honest mind and to the
best interests oi the people.
As a man, neighbor, father, husband and
friend, by kindness and a generous demeanor,
he won and maintained tbe sympathy and confi
dence ot all who knew him.
He suffered long, weary days in body and
mind, and now we weep over hi* grave, and we
ieel in our hearts, “He rests at last.”—Souther,vt
Witness.

Mr. Gibson, the attorney for Governor Bullock
and his delegation, read an argument, the main
point edtavored to be made, being that Hill was
elected Senator by illegal votes. The differences

to be that Bullock wants all former legislations

expulsion of the negrms at least, and (avors the
validity of all its legislations.

Cotton.—By reference to onr statement pub
lished to-day it will be seen tbat tbe stock of
cotton on hand and on Bhipboard not cleared,
including npiand and sea island, amounts to
75,681 bales, being an increase of 14,070 bales
over the same time last year. We invite atten
tion to the figures ae showing tbe commercial
value ot the port ot Savannah.
Compared with other Southern ports, this large
accnmnlation ot cotton shows one or two things,
tbat holders tor the most part are planters in
circumstances to resist the attacks of bears on
the market, having all the credit they wish, and
being evea with the oatside world.
Tbe figures indicate an early gathering and a
quick market for the present crop, which, by a
comparative and proportionate estimate will fall
short of 2.750,009 bales.—Savannah News.
