THE DAILY TIMES. JOIH H. MARTIN, - * * K" lwr Ootttinbttii< On WEDNBSDAY NOVEMHBB 8..1876. LARGEST CIRCULATION (■ the i'ountl*** at (!f>HtMbn, 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. 8 # • Judge Hoar is fond of quiet fun. Notice the following in relation to Woman’s Bights. He says: “I cer tainly never said anything against them, and they always seemed to me to be the kind of rights that, if I may judge of my own practical expe rience, are very apt to take care of themselves. I say this as a married man of long standing. 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. Blark lllk and cathmere*. If you are la need of such goods look at my stock before buying. otcs-eodtf J. Albert Kirykn. 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 roe Advertiser. 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 ed.
