Da. A. Ravknscboft, agent of the
Mobile & Olrard Railroad, baa fur
nished the Troy Enquirer with the
following comparison of cotton ship
ments during this with the post sea
son :
Shipments of cotton from Troy, this sea
son, to Ist of October 6,223 bales,
Same time last year 8,690
Excess this year l.ws “
The Troy (Ala.) Enquirer says that
the festival in Its town, on Thursday
evening last, at Fireman’s Hall, for
the benefit of the Episcopal Church,
was a decided suocess. Among the
contributions from a distance was “a
large box of rare and beautiful flow
ers presented by Col. C. B. Grimes,
of Columbus, Ga.”
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
says: “There is a rumor afloat that
Chiof Justice Warner contemplates
retiring from the Bench of the Su
preme Court at the expiration of this
(the July) term. Judge Warner has
been on the bench for about thirty
years, and is universally esteemed as
an able and upright Judge.”
Gek. Maney, one of the Indepen
dent candidates for Governor of Ten
nessee, withdrew on Friday last, with
the design of transfering his support
to Thomas, the other independent.
The meagre reports at hand when
we write this incline us to the opin
ion that Yartlley, the negro Radical,
is not receiving the full support of
either the or blacks of his
party, andjihattiie contest is between
Porter, Democrat, and Thomas, in
dependent,
Old Pamon Bbownlow, whose
health is so feeble as to excite won
der at his tenacious hold on life, has
been trying to make capital for Hayes
In East Tennessee by telling the “war
claimants” of that section that they
will stand no chance for indemnity if
Tllden is elected, and must support
Hayes If they want to get their mon
ey. East Tennessee has more claim
ants of this kind than any other sec
tion of the South, and all of them
swear to their “loyalty” during the
war, though many of them are Dem
ocrats now. Old Brownlow has not
lost his cunning, feeble as he may be
physically.
“REFOHM” UKDEK till AWT.
One of the “reforms”of General
Grant’s administration is the disper
sion of the Cabinet officers through
out the oouutry to manage the elec*
tions, and the sending of all the cler
ical force or the Departments to the
States from which they came, to vote
for Hayes and Wheeler. This ap
pears to have been the sole business
of the Administration for the last six
weeks. Seoretary Chandler has
been the active and unscrupulous
chief manager for the Republican
party, as chairman of their National
Executive Committee. Attorney
General Taft has stretched the pow
ers of his office far beyond the limits
recognized by others in his position,
by raising a large army of marshals
and deputy marshals to control the
State elections. And last, but not
least, Secretary Morrill, of the Treas
ury, went to New York on Saturday
to make a speech at a Republican
meeting, the burden of which was
that it was necessary to keep his
party in power to maintain the cred
it of the Government and the value
of its money and bonds.
I.IFB IWSI'RAWFK AVIt REAL ESTATE
SPECULATION.
The failure of several life insurance
companies recently has called atten
tion to the character of their assets.
The New York Sun shows how real
estate speculation has been fostered
by these companies and the conse
quent collapse. It states that seven
teen life companies of that city hold
mortgages on real estate amounting
to $121,000,000, upon which only about
three-fourths can be realized in cash.
These mortgages were for the most
part, effected in 1806-7-8, when prop
erty was held at a high figure. Forced
sales in default of interest demon
strated the fact that the property
would not bring sufficient to cover
first mortgages, so a lenient policy
was adopted. The very lowest esti
mate that can be given of the decline
in the value of the above securities is
30 per oent., and on this basis the as
sets as presented by the companies
would suffer a reduction of $40,590,-
000. A real estate broker being in
terrogated on this subject on Satur
day,said : “The decline in real estate
is greater, on an average, than 30 per
cent, all around. If the property on
bond and mortgage were to be sold
to-day it would not, on an averago,
realize 60* per cent, of the money
loaned upou it. I have tried it. I
had two houses in Thirty-second
street to sell for one company, and at
auction sale the amount bid for them
did not come within SIO,OOO of the
sum for which they had been mort
gaged. The result was that the com
pany bid them in, and are now hold
ing them in the hope of better prices
prevailing.”
The New state of Colorado..
Denver, November 3.—Hon. John
Routt was to-day inaugurated Gov
ernor of Colorado. His message is
mainly devoted to topics of .local
State interest. The financial show
ing is particularly favorable, there
being a handsome excess of resources
over all liabilities, and constitutional
provisions prohibit a debt or exces
sive taxation. Educational matters
are equally encouraging and sat
isfactory. The annual products Cof
mines is $8,000,000, and it is predict
ed that with the developement of the.
San Juan District in Southwestern
Colorado, next year, the product will
reach $10,000,000.
Mia iMruwvK?
It is muob to be hoped that the ter
mination of the Inlenso political ex
citement of the country will be
speedily followed by more stability
In the general business and financial
situation and nn increasing confi
dence in investments. It is not the
lack of money, but the timidity of
capitalists, that hinders Investments
andkeepsdown the value of securi
ties and property. Depreciated as
the money of the country is, it is
considered of more certain value
than almost any real property and
merchandise. As the Boston Journal
suys, tho trouble with most men of
means is what to do with their
money. It is not considered safe in
the bank. Tho trust companies turn
out to bo vain things forsnfety. The
more real estate a man has the
worse he is off. There have been a
great many times in tho last fifty
years when peoplo could not make
money unless they had money to
make it with. Tho peculiarity of
this panic is that you can do nothing
with tho money. No investment
seems safe, and millions are lying
idle. The recent flurry in Wall
street shows this. Everybody who
could has takon out his money from
real estate and put it into stocks.
A certain line of stocks are consider
ed ns good as gold. This was espe
cially true of coal stocks. All along
the line of the Lackawanna and kin
dred roads stock was held by well-to
do families. In a single hour last
week families with incomes of from
$2,000 to $20,000 a year were made
penniless. It is said that, if the
great railroad men were obliged to
realize at once, a largo part of the
so-called millionaires would be as
poor as their neighbors. Nearly all
our heavy companies, if obliged to
throw their real estate on the mar
ket, would find themselves in a bad
way.
We see signs of improvement of late
in the mercantile business of the
country, in spite of tho timidity of
capttal. Business men have gener
ally eoineto the conclusion that "bot
tom prices” and tho extreme deple
tion of stocks have been reached,
and that it is therefore safe to venture
more freely in their speculations.
But property shows little signs of im
provement yet, and capitalists are
still slpw to put their money into ac
tive use. Let us hope that a more
cheerful view wil be taken of the fi
nancial situation, now that the great
party contest is over, and that the
wealth of the country will now be em
ployed in the restoration of the mate
al prosperity of the country.
POPULATION VS. PATENTS.
The last annual report of the Com
missioner of Patents embraces a ta
bular statement showing the number
of patents issued during the year to
each State and.territory.and the pop
ulation. We are indebted to Messrs.
Louis Bagger & Cos., Patent Attor
nles, in Washington, D. C., for the
following interesting data from this
table:
The State of New York (quite natu
rally, it having the largest popula
tion) received more patents for new
inventions thnn any other State—3,-
771; next to New York comes Penn
sylvania, with 2,034; next ranks
Massachusetts, with 1,840; next Illi
nois, with 1,098; and next Ohio, with
1,091 Patents. But the proportion of
patents to population, as indicating
the seat of the inventive genius of
the country, is more significant. In
the preceding report of the Commis
sioner, Connecticut (the land of
wooden nutmegs,) led the list, but
this year the District of Columbia
takes the lead, with one patent for a
new invention issued to every 615 of
the population ; Connecticut having
only one patent to every 761 of the
entire population. Massachusetts,
also, in this respect, stands third in
the list, tho proportion being one to
every 787. “Little Rhody” comes
fourth, with one to every 943. Tho
least inventive State, as shown by
this table, is Arkansas, which re
ceived but one patent to every 44,042
of her population.
Public Instruction In France.
From the Fall Mall Gazette.]
Frenchmen complain that after all
the debates on primary education,
and a respectable volume of laws
passed by successive Legislatures,
something like thirty thousand chil
dren in Paris alone are receiving no
instruction whatever; and this
though there are hundreds of schools
where they can bo taught free of
cost. Last year a report on primary
and secondary instruction was read
before the Academy of Moral Sci
ences by M. Levasseur, who com
pared the results achieved at home
and abroad, and established, to the
complete dissatisfaction of his hear
ers, the fact that Franco is but the
twentieth among civilized States in
respect of the number of her citizens
who receive a regular education in
their youth. The number of chil
dren inscribed on the books of the
primary schools amounted to an av
erage of no more than thirteen per
cent.
On the other hand, it would be un
just to deny that considerable pro
gresss has been during the last half
century. In 1829, the last complete
year in which the white flag waved
over public edifices, there were 30,796
State primary schools in France; in
1832 the number had risen to 32,520;
in 1850 to 43,815; in 18G8 to 53,820. Cu
riously enough, at the Vienna Inter
national Exhibition, France received
the diploma of honor for primary in
struction. The truth seems to be that
France, while possessed of excellent
theories on the subject, has long felt
herself obliged to spend so much
money on the naval and military es
tablishments of tho country that
comparatively nothing has been left
for the schoolmaster. At all
this view of the case is one which
generally impresses itself upon the
Minister of Public Instruction for
the time being.

PHILADELPHIA LETTER.
A LAST LOOK AT TUB RXHIOI I ION.
Hull of (He llulldli,,. to be Sold.
A SMALLER PERMANENT EXHIBITION CON
TEMPLATED.
From Our Regular Correspondent.]
Philadelphia, Nov. 4th 1870,
Thinking that a political letter
from Washington would bo of but
little interest to you now, when in
two days we will have results, facts,
a nation’s vordict, instead of argu
ments and predictions, I have come
to Philadelphia to take a last look at
the Centennial Exposition. There Is
no lagging of interest in the great
show, and, In all probability, twice
as many people, or 140,000, will be
present to see the curtain fall as were
here when it was lifted. For weeks
the average dally cash attendance
has been over 100,000, and this num
ber, notwithstanding the absence of
official ceremonies and catch-penny
pageantry, does not diminish.
On the 10th of this month, three
days after the election, the Exhibi
tion will be formally closed, and, on
the 30th of November, at 11 o’clock,
a. m., there will boa general sale of
all the buildings belonging to the
Centennial Board of Finance.
The list comprises the Main
Building, and the Carriago an
nex; Agricultural Hall with its
annexes; the Art annex, Photograph
er’s building, Shoe and Leather
building, butter and cheese building.
Judge’s hall, guard and station
houses, and various other small build
ings. Quite sufficient to'establish an
Utopian city at Duluth, Napoleon or
somewhere else in the swamp or des
ert, if there could be some plan in
vented to waft them there.
The expectation that most of the
State buildings will bo presented to
the Park Commission at the close <Jf
the Exhibition is, I think, delusive.
Indeed it is hardly desirable that
they should remain permanently in
Fairmount Park; with but one excep
tion they are built of wood, and be
sides their danger from fire, the ex
pense of painting them and keeping
them in repair would detract from
their value for Park purposes. The
Ohio State Building, however, is built
of stone, and is so substantial in ev
ery respect that it will preserve its
present appearance ann be an orna
ment to the park. The original inten
tion was to present this strucure to the
city, and at recent meetings of the
Ohio State Board, the subject of its
transfer ha3 been discussed. The
German pavilion, a substantially
built structure, it is thought, will also
become the property of the park com
missioners. So far as known at pres
ent the other buildings will be sold
to the highest bidder or disposed of
at private salo. Those who desire to
purchase them will doubtless have
to give fair prices, for many of them
are handsome and built of the best
material, and can be easily taken
down and re-built.
It is said by Philadelphians and
by the gate-keepers that the propor
tion of strangers is smaller at pres
ent than for some time past. This
may be accounted for upon tho sup
position that nearly everybody is re
maining at home until after the elec
tion. Some of these, will, of course,
not see it at all, for in two days after
the election tho Exhibition will be
closed. Strange ns it may seem,
there are many Philadelphians who
have not yet seen the great show,
while many others who have lived
within half an hours’ ride of it have
been there only once or twice. These
will have to solace themselves with
the smaller permanent exhibition
which it is now understood will be
established. The projectors of this
enterprise are very confident of its
success. Within the last week they
have received hundreds of communi
cations from exhibitors and others,
asking for information in reference
to displays which they desire to
make. These aro exclusive of the
many exhibitors who have at present
displays in the Main Building, many
of whom will allow them to remain
there. It is thought that one-third
of the exhibits in Agricultural Hall,
and many of the garden ornaments
in Horticultural Hall and the sur
rounding grounds, can be obtained
for the permanent exhibition, if the
management desires to have them.
One hundred or more exhibitors in
Agricultural Hall,who have been con
sulted by Mr. Landreth, have agreed
to allow their exhibits to remain.
The great difficulty in the way of a
permanent exhibition would seem to
be that of warming such an immense
structure as the main building. It
will be like an attempt to heat all
out-doors. It cannot be done with
dry heat, and it will doubtless be ne
cessary to build an immense furnace,
and run steam pipes throughout.
The daily running expense of the
permanent exhibition confined to one
building, and requiring no army of
door-keepers, guards and attendants,
will be immeosurbly less than that of
the present, and there would seem to
be no reason why the price should
not be reduced to 25 cents for adults
and 10 cents for children.
On the whole, I think we have rea
son to congratulate ourselves that so
much that is attractive in the exhibi
tion will remain. It seemed like a
great waste of money and energy to
build so splendid an exhibition only
to pull it down in a summer, and
thousands who have not seen the
Babel of the new world may still see
what remains of it with more com
fort and at less expense than when
the hotels and grounds were so
densely crowded. Memorial Hall is
here and will remain; with only
half the pictures and statuary it now
contains, it will attract hundreds of
visitors daily. C. A. S.

Argument In Favur of Bowlnr small
Crain.
The weather is now beautiful and
very favorable for sowing small
grain crops. Delays are very dan
gerous, every one knows that. There
fore tho farmers should lose no time
In sowing large areas in wheat,
oats, rye, barley, eto. Many will put
off sowing until it is too late and will
then console themselves by promis
ing to plant an extra large corn crop.
Even if this should be done, your
selves and your stock may suffer for
“something to eat” before the corn
can be gathered. But the probabili
ty is that the pnomlse to plant a
good corn orop will be violated.
Then success will hinge on a large
cotton crop. Time enough to plant
ootton, says the dilatory farmer.
Cotton plauted as late as June 1, will
make a good yield. Besides I will put
ryiano under it to hasten its growth.
Did ever you think how little money
there was in a cotton crop alone V
Let’s figure a little. Go to the guano
agent—give him your obligation for
four hundred ana sixty-seven pounds
of good middling cotton, binding
yourself to have your corn, meat, cot
ton, stock, land, houses—even the
bed you sleep on—sold to pay for this
guano. In making this obligation
you give an insurance policy against
drought, excessive rain, rU9t,rot, cat
erpillars, etc. What does the guano
cost?
4C7 lbs Jlnt cotton at 9V> C $43
Hauling one ton (mules,
wagon and hands, cost) 4 00
Distributing 2 50
Expenses to pick cotton 5 00
Hauling It to gin house 1 00
Ginning and packing 2 50
Hauling to market 1 25
Total $59 45
This guano is distributed, say od
twenty acres of land, nearly three
dollars per aero for guano alone.
Will It pay?
True you must have cotton to pay
the cash expenses of the farm ana
buy clothes, shoes and some luxuries
in the fall. But he who plaDt9 cotton
to make monev, does a losing busi
ness. The salvation of the planter is
to make something to live on. There
fore we say now is the time to sow
large areas in small grain, if you
have not done so.
Good crops of small grain were
gathered in Monroe this year and
an extraordinary crop of corn was
made. Now who will say Monroe is
not in a better fix than for years?
Did cotton do it, or rather did the
wheat, oats and corn crops bring
about the improved condition?—Mon

A Fatal Coon Hunt.
From tUo MI w*y Sun.]
We learn that several negroes star
ted out to hunt coons near Harrods
burg, in Mercer county, Kentucky,
one night last week. A quarrel arose
between two of the negroes In the
woods, when one was shot and
killed. His friends remained and
took charge of the body, while the
rest of tho crowd proceeded with the
hunt. A little later oue of tho ne
groes climbed a tree to shake down a
coon. Ho fell and was instantly
killed. Tho coon fell among the
dogs, and a terrible fight ensued. In
attempting to separate coon and dogs
another negro had his leg torn to
pieces by a dog. He then killed the
dog. The coon next succumbed to
fate, and his death ends tho list of
casualties during that coos hunt.
The murderer has been apprehend
