The .State debt of Tennessee is about twenty-seven million dollars, mostly incurred on account of railroads.

The richest immigrants who come to this country are the Bushian nouites. Twenty families of tli^b people recently gave the Treasurer of Castle Garden ?87,00£) to keep for them over night. Lunn Whittaker, col., who has boon confined in the Quincy (Fla.) jail for some time, charged with the assas¬ sination of Jos. McJnnkiu some yearn ago, was taken out and lynched, last Sunday morning, by n bi dy of r.ia;k- ed men, A New Orleans special from Little Rock states that a merchant named (ioodloe mill a telegraph operator named 'Wallace, went turkey hunting near Newport, Arkansas. (Ioodloe. who won a r«>d necktie, was mistaken by his comrade for a turkey in the bushes who fired upon him and kil led him. Ex-Senator Lrueo, of Mississippi, wjistondered the Brazilian ni- naud declined it, on th« groun the country was unhealthy, > mid not take his family tliore .Do on the ground Hint in Brazil a colored man would not be well received. He will be provided with a good position in tho UnitecLStatcs. On the 7th instant the Price Cur¬ rent published its mnnunl ntafemern of the stock of provisions in the country March 1st. It shows an aggro gate stock of 414,8215,000 pounds of meat including pork, or 54,400,000 loss than tit the same time last year, 'pj 1( , meat packed in the West since More It 1st is reported nt 335,000 hog* to date, against. 700,000 hogs for the same time last. year. Reports made to tho Department of Agriculture state there is an increase of nearly four per cent, iu the acreage of winter wheat. Wherever tho con¬ dition of the growing crop is referred to, it is given ns below the -average of last year. Live stock, though poor in flesh, has, ns a rule, come out of the winter in fair health. Local disorders of the lungs and stomach are reported, but no widely spread diseases. The town ot. Glover’s G ip, West Virginia, is in a state of panic over the Alarming spread of smallpox. The disease was brought there by a young man from Pittsburg. Physicians are nil sick, and tho body of a young wo¬ man who died was left tvnburi d. Tho Governor was telegraphed for r.id to burry the dead, but replied that the coauty Authorities should attend to it. Trains pass through town without stopping. A few days ago tlm North Alabam- iuus witnessed ^ a novel sight. , A worn* came walking into town, carrying a well-grown two year old chiM in her anos, followed- by a boy about four- teen years old. who was driving a cow on whose back were strapped all the worldly possessions of a family save tho calf about eight months old, which was ridden by a shoeless urchin of five or six summers. They were from Hardin conoty, Tennessee, and were going to Marion, in Alabamma. It Js said that the cause of tho fail¬ ure of tho Citizen’s Bank in Atlanta was a number of debts for which property instead of money had to be taken. This property could not be converted into cash. A recent court decision gives the State priority in the settlement of bank claims. This dosed/ An assignment has been made. It te thought the loss will not be severe. Plant Less Cotton and (Jet Better Prices. Our farmer*, in dead of planting i'-s.-i cotton and morn g>ain, are plant- mg more cotton ami less grain, mid, consequently, they overrun the lnark- ct with cotton and get nothin:-' for it. and buy their grain, j> lying an nutrage- mis price fr.v it Ix-ciuisw of its scarcity. If 7,000,000 hales of cotton are mad the fanner get- antiv- rag *::f ten cents wild per pr.uud for jt, when he would realize from 18 to *>y cents par pound if tl,m w,rft0 " : v ’ ''W |f > - * ouU1 11 I|f,t be il «*'««• h u " »« raise morn gmin and k*^s cotton. The Macon 71 • •/< »,o/ ' a./' r lias it down right, in the following: ■’The Kaleigh oi thinks that the increase of cotton acreage spring will lie about fifteen p?r <>•••«/ There i< nothing to warrant such a crop, l ifteen per cent, 5ucr<tv-e will not yield one cent n.me mcome tlmn tlie present 'erea. The chances are that, with a corresponding crop, it will produce less money. Ken.pose fha' the incoming crop sfmll produce about fi 8(K),000 bales, which it. ace ms likely to do. Micon'will give about' a f j ir aver- age price for it at 0j cents—say i*41 a hale or #266,000000. l.ast year cot Ion wliK " 01bi1 Y2 cents, oi 5->-l a 5,iU "- Ulti tl,e cr0 P ^ 5,757. J07 bales war *'0 li, i about #.)20,.- .)i),-l.,8. f'hat is the way we v^ork it. We raise and gin and pack and transport nine hundred thousmTd more b.l and get fifty or more million dollars less for it! (.’an anything be more absurd? If the determination of the size of the cotton crop were left with one financial interest, not more than four million hales would lie raised next year. When the Dutch East In¬ dia Company find they urc raising too much Java coffee to command a good price, they have two ways of disposing of it. One is to lock up the excess and hold it for a short crop, and the other is to burn it up in furnaces made for that purpose. They have rib idea of raising coffee to lose money on it. JJnt we people-ofthe .--onih have litle practical Idea of doing anything else, Colton lint is many times nmre iudis pensabie mul valuable than eotf- e. Ji is far fnore * xclusivi-ly a product of one country. The Southern people could just as easily get twenty cents a pound as leu cents audit would make- us all happy and comfortable. -We could live IJief.tUy and pay our debts. But wuiply lxicuii.se .ill of us are stung gling to swell i lie crop to the larges; possible dinionaiona, under the silly idea that wa can make more money out of it, w\: ruin ourselves and toil fivin year’s end to year's end without accumulating a cent of profit.. Jt is hardly probable that next year wo can be so foolish as we mean to be. After three or four years of gigantic crops il is time to look fora small one. ft is not according with the usuai operations of nature to have a long succession of abundant crops of any kind; and this year there is so far evciy reasonable promise of short crops generally. For the last seven years wo have boon piling up our cotton crops from 3,882,000 to 0,501),- 000 bales or an average of 460,000 bales increase a year. Thorn must be n check to this sometime or other, and this spring seems to present as fair a chance for it us we ever saw. This may help cotton a little; but with another increased crop next year cotton will become a drug *. If n were possmlp , for - producers , to agreo among themselves to reduce pro duetiou they could all produce enough (o be e vne rich, but since all are deter- |nJn0il l0 ,. r0lhu . 0 a „ lhey ojm . 1)othfMg lnit po0r cr „ ps can orovide them a market for it.” *<»-* A \ r.Hvnif’riKle 1 ' MNIKh \ v W.iG, i n ifon ■ disp-.teh sa\s.
