Tnk accounts from Washington
represent it to be somewhat doubt
ful whether the Democratic minority
in the House will permit the Electo
ral count to be concluded before the
4th of March. We won’t cry.
Our dispatches for severs! days have
announced large merchanctile failures and
suspensions of savings batiks in the
Northern States,while we hear of nothing
of the kind in the South. Such occur
rences are generally forerunners of re
sumption and improvlngjbusiness. The
South reached the financial bottom some
time ago, and though poor’ Is probably
the soundest section oi the Union. The
North is much richer, but has to endure
many such .failures before reaching a
solid basis.
Thic factory of Mr. C. W. Simmons,
in Augusta, was consumed by fire on
Monday evening; also the warehouse
and other buildings attached. The
warehouse contained between three
and four hundred bales of cotton,
most of which was consumed; also
the goods on hand were burnt and
machinery badly damaged. The loss
is estimated at between $30,000 and
$40,000. The factory made yarn,
twine, &o. The fire originated by
some cotton catching from a lamp.
The Insurance amounted to about
SIO,OOO.
Me. John H. McKelvby makes
some suggestions through the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat on the philoso
phy of the blue gloss cure. Ho al
ludes to the fact that in the practice
of photography (which is entirely
dependent upon the action of light)
it has been found that blue is the
most favorable color for successful
operatins and yellow the most un
favorable color. It has been found
impossible to produce a photograph
ic picture by the action of the sun's
rays passed through yellow gluss.
Yellow ourtalns and walls in the
operationg room and a yellowish,
smoky atmosphere in the vicinity of
operating, will cause failure. Plants
can not be grown under yellow glass.
From these facts it is altogether
probable that blue, either in window
glass or in the walls and curtains of
rooms, is heathful, while yellow is
un heathful.
A Washington special of the 18th
to the Cincinnati Enquirer states one
of the difficulties which the Demo
crats of the House have to encounter
in staving off the conclusion of the
count of the Electoral votes until the
4th of March. It says that since
Friday the Electoral Bill, the Consti
tution and the law providing for set
tling a Presidential vacancy have
been carefully examined by promi
nent Democratic lawyers, and they
have come to the unanimous conclu
sion that neither the Constitution
nor the law of 179a provides for filling
such vacancy as would exist if no
choice is made by Congress by the
4th of March. The result of that
would be no new election could be
held without a special act of Con
gress. Such act could not be passed
before the 4th of March, as the
Senate would not pass it; and after
March 4th the bill could not become
a law, as there would be uo President
to sign it. The interregnum, there
fore, would last Tour years, unless,
as is probable, the Senate declared
Hayes elected and inaugurated him.
Either event would produce confu*
sion and paralysis of business, if not
revolution.
■ATI8 1 SOUTH EBIB POLICY.
Whether the reports of negotia
tions already progressing between
Hayes and some Southern Democrats
be oorreot or not (and we give them
very iiule credence,) it would seem
inevitable that Hayes, as President,
must pursue a conciliatory course to
wards the South. It is a necessity
of the Badical party if it wishes to
maintain its strength—a necessity so
apparent that we doubt whether
even Morton and Chandler would
oppose it. The Radicals know full
well that every Southern State was
carried by the Democrats in tbe No
vember elections, and that the Dem
ocrats, when they carry a Southern
State, hold on to it. The ignorant
and corrupt Radical organization in
the Southern States, when once de
feated, can never rally in strength
and confidence again ; and the supe
riority of Democratic to Radical gov
ernment quickly brings the more in
telligent and better classes of tbe ne
groes to the Democratic side.
Hayes will bid for Southern sup
port,but we trust that he will find our
long-suffering and long-oppressed
people endowed with Spartan for
titude. They have, it is true, good
cause for dissatisfaction with the
Democracy of the Eastern States,
but the Democrats of the whole
country are the only party who cling
to tbe true principles of the Govern
ment and can bring it back to its con
stitutional limitations. The mis
management of this campaign will
make the Democrats of all* sections
more careful to plant themselves on
a sure footing for the next contest,
and not to surrender again after they
have won a victory. To whatever
extent Hayes may need Southern
Democratic help to establish and
sustain rightful local governments
and good administration of Federal
affairs among us, let him have it.
But let the Democrat* of the South
hold fast to their principles, their
integrity and their organization, and
a successful future is yet before
them. _

TNK COTTON 1 HUP OP ISIA
The New York Bulletin of Monday
estimates the total cotton orop of the
growth of 1876 at fully 4,600,000 bales.
It arrives at this conclusion by a
comparison of receipts tor the 21
weeks of the cotton year already
passed with the receipts of the cor
responding period for a Dumber of
years. The total receipts up to Sat
urday last were 3,407,000 bales. For
thelastsix years, with which the
Bulletin makes a comparison, the
average for the first 24 weeks was
68.66 per cent, of the whole crop.
Taking this average as a criterion of
the incoming crop, the total crop of
1876 would reach 4,962,709 bales. But
it is admitted that this is a year of
early forwarding to market, and the
Bulletin therefore compares it with
1874-6, the year surpassing all others
for early forwarding. Compared with
the receipts of the 24 weeks of 1874-6,
the receipts of the present season
would amount to 74 per cent., indica
ting a total crop of 4,601,064.
We believe that the Bulletin’s esti
mate is too high. The present sea
son has been an extraordinarily favor
able one for early forwarding. We
do not believe that any season of the
six compared by the Bulletin com
bined so many conditions favoring
the early marketing of the crop. In
the first place, the dry season of the
summer and early fall caused the
rapid maturity and opening of the
crop; then the fall and early winter
season for picking was unusually
favorable; and the roads have gener
ally been much better for hauling
than is eoromonly the case in our
winters, for wo have had no very
high water and much lees rain than
usual.
Another fact which ought to be
taken into coosldcraelon is the in
creasing quantity of the crop that
is forwarded from Arkansas, upper
Texas and Louisiana—all important
cotton regions—to the North with
out being sent to New Orleans. This
transportation by rail not only af
fords a faster forwarding, but it
makes the sections named independ
ent of the navigation of the rivers
west of the Mississippi, the period of
whose winter rise is always uncertain
and sometimes delayed almost until
spring. But for the railroad facilities
lately made so extensively, available
for forwarding the crop grown west
of the Mississippi river, Shreveport
and other ports of Red river, or the
plantations of thatsection,would now
have double the stocks of cotton
which their reports show; and so of
the Ouachita and other rivers empty
ing into the Bed-all flowing through
rich cotton lands. The almost won
derful increase of receipts of cotton
at St. Louis within the period covered
by the Bulletin’s comparison will
suffice to indicate the extent of a
change of mode of transportation by
which forwarding has been material
ly expedited.
Taking these facts into considera
tion, and regarding late advances in
prices as an additional stimulus to
early shipments, we think that the
Bulletin’s lowest estimate of the
crop is considerably above what will
be realized.
Aocoedino to the New York Herald
this is about the way the New York
Republicans regard the great victo
ry:
“Business men of Republican pro
clivities could scarcely repress a lit
tle exultation that Mr. Hayes was,
ufterail, to be inaugurated; but to
the eye of an actual observer there
was visible a certain under-current
of Btifled distrust as to the justice of
their cause, which found expression
in the remark that it was no doubt
best so, but that a strictly partisan
division or the Commission was some
thing to be sinoerely regetted. It is
evident, too, when one comes down
to a quiet talk with Intelligent Re
publicans, who have no official rela
tiuns to bias them, that the justice of
Mr. Hayes’ claim to Louisiana is
pretty universally doubted. Indeed,
the most superficial observer can not
fail to notice that the zest of triumph
has been blunted to lay members of
tbs winning party by delays and
doubts, wblie the edge of the disap
pointment, so far as business men of
Democratic antecedents are concern
ed, has been dulled by the considera
tion that the election was fairly won,
but has been juggled out of their
bands by corrupt Returning Boards. ”
A Radical Gum* at Haym' Cabinet.
W. D. Blckham'aletter to tb ItejtoD Journal.)
Of gossip about Hayes’ Cabinet
there is no end. I saw a list of nine
names last night that are discussed
in White House circles—yet I don’t
believe that anybody about the
White House knows any more about
the subject than any other man. I
don’t remember all the names, but I
mention a few. Senator Sherman,
Stanley Matthews andex-Oov. Noves
are supposed to be on Hayes’ list.
But one, however, is likely to be se
lected from Ohio. I doubt if Mat
thews would acoept a seat in the
Cabinet. I feel quite confident that
it Sherman desires it he will succeed
Mr. Morrill as Seoretary or the Treas
ury. I should guess, in any event,
that Noyes will go abroad, if he de
sires it. Rice and Banks, of Massa
chusetts, are guessed at, but
not assigned to any place. Ev
erts is universally mentioned
Tor Secretary of State. General
John M. Harlan, the leader of the
Kentucky Republicans, and who
swung Kentucky into the breach at
the right time to help nominate
Hayes at Cincinnati, is on the list.
He is the ablest llepublScan in Ken
tucky by or*ds, and is in aocord with
the party everywhere. The difficulty
of finding a Republican in the South
around whom to rally and build up a
white Republican party is serious.
Harlan is thought of for this reason,
but Kentucky isn’t South enough,
geographically, and is hopelessly
Bourbonized. Oov. Chamberlain, of
Soulh Carolina, is discussed, but he
is a Northern man and can’t rally tbe
South about him. Senator Alcorn,
of Mississipi, is another, and is the
most available man for the purpose.
Col. Bristow is not on any Washing
ton list of which I have beard. Mc-
Crary and Kassou. of lowa—with the
chances best for the former if either
is taken—are on several slates. But
nobody knows anything about tbe
subject, and Hayes is not a man to
commit/the indiscretion of vain spec
ulations on a contingent political
event.
—A man’s wealth depends more on his
wife than on his Income—no matter what
that Income be.
■MIN MATT* OFFENCE.
We copy below the article of the
Washington Capital, for which Don
Piatt was presented to tbe grand
jury, as stated in our dispatches of
yesterday. We learn from other
souroos that the President and the
Cabinet had a council to consider
this article, and that it stirred up tbe
Radicals of Washington no little.
Excepting the alleged invitation to
assassination (which Piatt says was
not intended in that sense), the ar
ticle contains about as much of jus
tice as severity. It certainly con
tains a great deal of truth, though
expressed with bitterness:
“The *iykening apprebeniion felt by tbe
people to which we referred lilt week, that
ihe Supreme Court would be found aa rotten
aa the other power* of our unhappy Gov
ernment, hae been.realized. The awift de
cay that in the laat ten year* haa made our
aelf-government s tham and a mockery, and
in the Executive and Legislative branches
shamed us before the world, baa been si
lently working its way through the Judici
ary until now, in ila first trial, it offends
with ita stench the nostrils of all honest
citizens.
“The appeal made to the Judges of the
Supreme Court for the people, sorely dis
tressed and perplexed, was to save them
from the wicked conspiracy of men they had
repudiated at tbe polls. They saw their
faithless agents for years robbing the Treas
ury of their hard earned taxes. They saw
their highest officials Indicted for the mean
eat crimes. They saw a President coarse,
brutal and ignorant, and appointing syco
phantic pimps to tbe hignest positions.
They saw him the associate of roughs and
tbe commissioner of thieves. They saw
carpet baggers, sustained by bayonets, ma
nipulating the polls, that ignorance and ras
cality might ty ranize over the South. They
saw Rings organized in the lobby control
their Congress. They saw huge monopolies
created by their government eating out their
substance. They saw themselves reduced to
want, trade paralyzed, and labor without
employ, and they made a desperate effort
to right their wrongs through the ballot
“With a subsidized press against them,
with an army of hungry office-holders that
counting those of the General Govern
ment with those of the States—made a horde
of Treasury-eaters greater than any standing
army in Europe, with all the accumulated
capital in the hands of monopolies arrayed
on the aide ol their oppressors, they made
one despairing effort, and came up from the
polls with a majority of over half a million
in their behalf. And of what avail? Through
a dishonest Returning Board, made up ol
criminals who have escaped conviction and
punishment under the protecting arm of a
corrupt Government, enough votes are
thrown out to render all their efforts vain,
and saddle upon them the old corruption
and the old horde for another term of years,
perhaps forever.
“From this, appeal was taken to five Jut
tices of the Supreme Court. For that, no
more and no less, was the Commission ere
ated. It was believed that by such process
the question at issue, being a charge of con
spiracy against corrupt men, could be lilted
from the political arena to a Tribunal ol
high-toned, impartial Judges, who would de
cide in accordance with law and justice. To
the amazement and disgust of all thoughtful
minds these Justices divided as the partisans
had, on a political line; and three indecent
old men joined with tbe enemies of the peo
ple n fixing corruption upon us, and des
troying all confidence in the very founda
tion of our political structure—the ballot.
They decide that fiaud does not vitiate, and
beyond this that they have nothing to decide,
and so send the question to the people.
“We have not the patience to argue what
the people, in their broad common sense,
will not consider—the fine-spun legal tech
nicalitiea under which these aged scoundrels
seek to hide tlSir shame. Their resl briel
is to be found in the utterance of one ol their
Commission, James A. Garfield, who said
boastingly, “You'll have to grin and bear it.
We hold the carda and intend to play them ”
Poor political gambler! The (takes for
which he plays are the rights of 40,000,0U0
ot people, the peace and prosperity of the
only repub'ic known to humanity. For all
that freemen hold most dear, these hands,
ttained with plunder, gamble as tbe soldiers
of Pilate severed in derision the garment ol
the Crucified Christ. As we said a week
since: “This is not law, it is revolution;
and if the people tamely submit, we may bid
a long farewell to Constitutional Govern
ment. Fraud no longer vitiatea. A corrupt
Administration has only by its bayonets to
hold a State ururpation long enough in
power for a corrupt Returning Board to do
its vile task, and tbe work is done. If a
man thus returned to ’power can ride in
safety from the Executive Mansion to tbe
Capitol to be inaugurated, we are fitted lor
tbe slavery that will follow the inaugura
tion.
“We do not believe the people of the Uni
ted States art of tbit servile sort. We do
not believe they are prepared without a blow
to part with tbeir hard-earned, blood-stained
possessions. Notice is now served on the
citizens of Louisiana and South Carolina
that they must csre (or themselves. How
soon lamp-posts will bear fruit is for them
to say. To the people of the North and
West notice is given t’ust all the toil to
which they are subjected that bond-holders
and monopolists may fatten secure, is repaid
by no serurity for their rights, and that a
ihrinkageot values is now in order. Ii
there is law for fraud there is reason for vi
olence, and to that we make our last ap
peal."

The Florida Villainy.—Ex-Gov.
Stearns testified on Saturday before
the special committee investigating
tbe employment of troops in the
South, that there were demonstra
tions of violence in Florida during
the election excitement, but he could
not say that organized bands did it,
though it looked like concerted ac
tion. The extra troops were sent to
Florida by the Secretary of War.
Witness did not make anv formal
requisition for troops, but did send a
dispatch to Secretary Chandler, at
New York, in which he mentioned
tbe advisability of having troops
sent to Florida. There was no time,
the witness further stated, when he
could not quell any disturbance with
his own militia, and he gave no in
timation to the authorities to the
contrary. Thus, says a Washington
correspondent, does the truth grad
ually come out of the mouth of the
tools of the revolutionary political
cabal headed by Z. Chandler. The
evidenoe ot this ousted carpet-bag
ger is enough of itself to show that
all of the Florida case, as worked up
by the Republicans, was buta wicked
and most disgraoeinl put-up job, in
which Chandler and Secretary of
War Cameron were the bead devils.

THE HIKUKR OF THE KKFt'HUC.
Seals, Ala., Feb. 19, 1877.
Editor Times: The deed Is done
and the corpse of the Republic
lies in state at tbe National
capital. It was in accord with the
“eternal fitness of things" that
it should die where it did. For the
last decade its existence has been a
sickly imitation of life, and under
the quack nostrums of the “saintly
crew" it has given up tbe ghost. Pity
that Edmunds, Morton and the rest,
wearied with administering tbe
phyiso, should have persuaded the
gentle Hewitt to do It. He must have
given the poor thing an over-dose, in
the hurry and confusion ot the hour
•and thus it died. Better have thrown
that physic to the dogs, friend Hew
itt, for on all your bonds as you tear
each coupon off, you will find inscri
bed:
••Who kitted eoek robin?
1. Mild the sparrow,
With ray bow and arrow,
And / killed cock robin."
And the particular spot on which
the poor old thing died, ought to be
a matter of congratulation to the
whole country. It was hallowed by
association, and the earnest, honest,
men who provided for the creation
of that tribunal in whose chamber
it Bleeps, intended it to be tbe pure
and approachable power, which pow
er was to interpose between execu
tive ambition on the one hand
and unconstitutional legislation
on the other. Within the sacred
walls of that tribunal, stabbed by
the hands of a perjured judge, at the
behest of a perjured Commission, tbe
final blow was sttuck, not wildly and
recklessly, but with the sure and
steady and unflinching purpose of
tbe hired assassin, and theemaclated
form sank Id agony while around it
gathered the memories of a hundred
years, Edmunds closed its eyes— not
the first he has thrown sand into;
and Morton, as the most pious ol the
gang pronounced the—“ Fiat justitiu
ruat Bepublica.”
And yet, some tell us now, it is not
dead but sleepeth for four years, as if
a government whose very essence is
public confidence could survive for
an hour after that confidence has
been utterly destroyed. The havoc
of war is nothing to this. Its dread
ful chasms may be bridged and its
waste places rebuilded. Around us
we may see
"The wide Held* revive
With fruits and fertile premise, and tha spring
Gome forth her look of gladness to contrive.
With all her reckleaa birda upon the way";
But for this lost confidence, this
abandoned hope,this solemn treason
—we shall have to
“Turn from all ahe brought, to thoae ahe
cauld not firing.*’
We will turn in vain to the teach
ings of the Republican fathers. We
will turn in vain to the traditions of
the past. We will turn in vain to
the long agony through which the
Republic sprung into life, and, last
of all, we will tHrn in vain to the for
gotten age of honest men. That
light has been put out, and we know
Dot "tbe Promethean heat that can
that light relume." Then lay itgent
iy down— the poor old thing—once a
Goddess, they say. Send for Nast to
portray the scene. Near Mt. Vernon
would be a proper place for the in
terment, and while Edmunds and
Morton, as chief mourners, stand
laughing by, let Hewitt write upon a
cheap marble slab, paid for with one
of his bonds, “Ilium Fuit.”
