WEDNESDAY MORNING. APRIL 27, ’7O
Geary Wants to be President.—A
Washington correspondent of the New
Tor to Herald writes that Gov. J. W. Geabt,
of Pennsylvania, who aspires to the Presi
dency, or, in case that cannot be reached,
the Vice-Presidency, is in Washington in
company with ex-Gov. Newell, of New
Jersey, and several other members of the
Executive Committee of the Union League
of America, trying to devise ways and
means to get the negro vote, under the
Fifteenth Amendment, solid for the Repub
lican party. They held a business meet
ing and fixed upon a programme for ex
tending the league organization among the
black voters North as well as South.
League missionaries are to be sent into
several States for the parpose of organ
izing councils, auxiliary to the National
League, of which Gov. Geary is President.
Geary is ambitious to get the negro vote
consolidated for J. W. Geary as well as
for the Republican party. He thinks he
can do better than Chase among the
blacks, and in view of his Kansas record
he is not certain but that he may contest
the field with Grant.
The Rotherbeast Snubbed by Even
Butler. —The Washington correspondent
of the Charleston New writes, under date
of the 23d:
"It is dally more apparent that the obnox
ious presence of Bullock on the floor of the
Senate and House is working against his
own schemes. Senators and members are
disgusted with his persistent lobbying and
boring, until the Senate has ordered an in
vestigation into the charges of corruption
preferred against him in connection with
this Georgia muddle. The evidence is
pretty conclusive that some of Bullock’s
g a t e ]iteß have been endeavoring to influence
legislation against the Bingham amend
ment by bribery and corruption. Besides
this, Bullock was persistently snubbed in
the Senate during the struggle on Tuesday
night Even Butler snubbed him with the
cut direct in the presence of the crowded
galleries, by turning away and refusing to
converse with him. The temper of the
House is decidedly against the benate bill,
and if the latter body desire to let Georgia
in at this session they must swing loose
from Bullock’s demands and come over to
the more conservative views of the House

Feminine Doctors. —Mrs. CarletoN, a
New Hampshire lady, a medical student
herself, recently lectured on “ Woman - in
the Medical Profession.” She dwelt upon
the fact that midwifery belonged exclusive
ly to women for six thousand years, and
that to preside at the nativity bf man was
the most honorable position which any one
could occupy. Madame D’Arblay, in the
year 1663, was instrumental in taking this
department of medical practice out of the
hands of women- From . that time the
change was rapidly made, and women dis
appeared from the profession. But uow
the call for women in the medical profes
sion, according to Mrs. C., “ comes from
every land.” To show how differently
people view the same subject, at the same
time, we will’ quote from the Louisvibe
Courier-Journal , whose editor says:
" But It Is very doubtful whether women
have the steadiness of nerve to make good
surgeons, but they might make good apothe
caries, provided one of their own sex in a
new bonnet did not happen to pass the
window just as they were on the point of
preparing a prescription, in which event
the desire to see how that borfnet was trim
med might be the cause of somebody's being
poisoned or overdosed.” *

A Lick at New England. —Already th<?
West and South are doubling teams upon
New England. The bill to Increase the
ratio of representation in the Lower House
of Congress is but the prelude to an advance
movement which will be made presently
against the unequal ratio of representation
in the Upper House. The East has claimed
the merit of.having contributed to the Re
publican party its brains. The West has
expressed itself contented with the credit
of having contributed its muscle. The two
have thus cone on violating the Constitu
tion in a very easy, happy, and harmonious
manner, until the muscular West has about
learned all the cunning tricks of the intel
lectual East. The way has been blazed.
Examples are numerous. Public opinion
Is educated. Now, look out! Just as the
South lost slavery by the mistake of going
to war to save It, w'ill New England lose
her tariff by overthrowing the ascendency
of the States upon which her existence as
a power depends. The East has broken
down State lines in order to punish the
Bouth. The West will see that, having
been broken down in the South, State lines
as they are shall not remain in the East.
Nationality means the people against the
States; consolidation means the West and
the South against New England.;.As the
South has already 16st its balance it can
afford this. As the West knows that its
excess of populatibn renders Its Interests
secure, it can more than afford it. The
only loser will be the East, which will find
itself hoisted at last by its own petard.
The movement in Congress on Monday is
not to be mistaken. It means business, and
& very ugly business for the protectionists
it will prove. They may stop it in the
•Senate. But they will not stop it long.
The seed is sown and is springing up lustily
in every part of the country.

* Cotton.
Friday, RM-, April 22,1870.
By special telegrams received by us to
night from the Southern porta we are in
possession of the returns showing the re
ceipts, exports, &c.;'of cotton for the week
ending this evening, April 22d. From the
figures thus obtained it appears that the
total receipts for the seven days have
reached 40,575 bales (against 44,574 bales
last week, 42,490 bales the previous week,
and 42,344 bales three weeks since), mak
ing the aggregate since September 1,1869,
up to this date, 2,529,116 bales against
1,935,624 bales for the same period in
1868-9, being an increase this season over
last season of 693,492 bales. The details of
the receipts for this week (as per telegraph)
and the corresponding week of 1869 are as
follows:

The exports for the week ending this
evening reach a total of 59,142 bales, of
which 42,489 were to Great Britain and
16,653 bales to the Continent, while the
stocks at all the ports, as made up this
evening, are now 341,083 bales. Below we
give the exports and stocks for the week,
and also for the corresponding week of last
season, as telegraphed to us from the

Prom the foregoing statement it will be

crease in the exports this week of 11,611
bales, while the stocks to-night are 52,989
bales more than they were at this time a
year ago. The following is our usual ta

The market the past week exhibited but
little variation in either tone or price dur
Ing the first three days, but has since im
proved about %c. and closes firm at the
improvement. The stock is now reduced
to so low a point that the present holders
can control the offerings, and with the cur
rent small sailings from Bombay, and the
probability that considerable cotton will
be delayed till after the monsoon, they
claim the remnant of our crop will com
mand full prices even if the early prospects
of our growing crop are very promising.
European advices also continue favorable.
Foreign spinners appear to be doing a
profitable business, proving that consumers
are willing to take our cotton at the ruling
rates. Another element of strength to the
market is the considerable short interest,
now outstanding, and which, as the month
draws towards a close, Is sensitive, and
hence easily influenced by any upward ten
dency in prices. For these reasons, al
though the market has been most of the
week extremely quiet—buyers only sup
plying their more pressing wants—holders
have not been frfee seller* at the quotations,
and feel great that better rates
will be realized later on- For forward de
livery the inquiry has also been limited,
and the close was dull, though prices were
maintained. Total sales during the week
of this description reach 6,900 bales (all
low middling or on the basis of low mid
dling), of which 600 bales were for April,
100 at 22%, 100 at 22%, 300 at 22%,
100 at 22% ; 1,250 bales for May, 50 at 21%,
800 at 21%. 300 at 21%, 250 at 21 13-16,
200 at 21, 950 at 22,100 at 22%, and 100 at

22, 500 at 22%, 300 at .22%, 100 at 21 7-16,

21%, 200 at 22, and 300 22%, 200 at 22%,
aud 500 at 22%. The total sales for imme
diate delivery this week foot up 14,104
bales (including 660 bales to arrive), of
which 3,654 bales were taken by spinners,
1,654 bales on speculation, 5,755 bales for
export, and 3,040 bales in transit.
Supply and Consumption of American
Cotton. —A correspondent sends, with a
request that we should examine and give
our opinion upon, an extract from a Bos
ton paper pretending to state the supply
and consumption of American cotton. The
extract in question shows (if its premises
are correct) that cycn with a crop of
over 8,000,000 bales, the world’s demand
for American cotton is considerably in
excess of the supply. We have not the
space to note in detail the inaccuracies in
the writer’s statement; but as it may
serve some good purpose, we have pre
pared the following, in the same form as
the first half of the extract, by which our
will be able to see some
of the omissions in that calculation. Our
figures are of the date of April 14:
Bales

root) to April 14... 200,000

Confined per month. 227,120
By the foregoing we see that the con
sumption per month thus far has been
227,120 bales, which if continued at the
same average rate for the year would re
quire 2,726,440 bales, or out of a crop of
3,000,000 bales would leave 276,000 bales in
increased stocks of American at the end of
the year.
There is one fact which we have not
taken into consideration in the above cal
culation, and that Is the difierence in stocks
held by the mills at the two periods (Sept.
1 and April 14), because of the uncertainty
which exists on that point. English spin
ners ane supposed to have diminished their
stocks about. 75,000 bales, while American
spinners Claim that they have Increased
theirs|ahout 150,000 bales. On the Conti
nent, manutacturers probably hold about
the same they held Sept. 1. Os course,
if there is in the aggregate any increase in
stocks held by spinners, to that amount the
year’s consumption in the above calcula
tion must be decreased, and the surplus at
the end of the season increased. Still it
Should be remembered that the average
consumption for the past 1%. months is not
by any means, and fbt* obvious reasons, an
Absolute test ot what It is to be during the
remaining 4}£ months. -, }i
India Crop.— lt appears to begeoeraliy
admitted now that the shipments df India
cotton’ before the monsoon are to be less
than last year. ~Th#,entire crop is late, and
the earlier districts have had. their crop
very materially injured. flpw far this de
ficiency in tliesEhropeah subply from that
quarter will be" made good W shipments
thrd' l< tb the cabal seems to be more of a
question. T he better "Opinion would ap
pear to be that the movement in May and
June will be in excess of Yea r > but not
sufficient to make good the present de
ficiency. The monsoon acts in about the
10th of June, and lasts until about the
middle of July. Arrivals after the mon
sson at the outporta may still reach Europe
through the canal before October Ist, so
that by the latter date it is not impossible
that this deficiency may be made good.—
These considerations are now having a
controlling influence upop priees, and the
India movement must therefore continue
to be watched with great interest. Up to
the present time the shipments are about
190,000 bales less than for the same period
last year.
Stocks of Cotton at Interior Towns.
—Below we give the figures received to
night, showing the stocks of cotton at the
interior ports at the close of business to-lay,
and add those for last week and the cor
■ responding periods o? last year for compari

Total 75,002 77,412 68,997 65,988
The foregoing shows the interior stocks
have decreased during the week about 2,410
bales, and that they are now 16,005 bales
in excess of the same period of last year.
Visible Supply of Cotton.—The fol
lowing table shows the quantity of cotton
in sight at this date of each of the two past
seasons:

These figures indicate an increase in the
cotton in sight to-night of 198,933 bales
compared with the same date of 1869.
The exports of cotton this week from
New York show an increase over last week,
the total reaching 9,338 bales, against 8,418
bales last week.
A Cotton Picker. —A Newbern corre
spondent of the Richmond D,ispatch says:
An invention has just been patented by
Messrs. Davis & Scott, of this place, which
many practical men think destined to exert
a powerful influence on the production ol
cotton, enabling the planter to increase the
size of his crop many fold. At present,
planters are limited in the quantity of their
crops by their ability to pick. In other
words they can grow much more than they
can harvest. Messrs. Davis & Scott’s in
vention • substitutes machine picking for
picking by hand, and they claim that their
machine will do per diem the work of fifty
hands. The machine is simple enough
when examined, but a written description,
entering into details, would be unsatisfac
tory without the aid of a drawing or cut;
so I shall only attempt -to give a general
idea of its construction and working.
The model is about as large as au ordi
nary wheat fan, though they can be made
of any size, is mounted on wheels, and is
to be driven over the cotton, row by row,
the plants passing under an arch between
the wheels. As the plants are pressed
down by the machine two spiral currents
of air, supplied by two pumps situated on
the front of the machine and worked by
the same power that puts the machine in
motion, blow the cotton out of the bolls
upward, to be caught by an overwhelming
canopy, whence by a simple contrivance it
is dropped into receivers at the rear end of
the machine. Steam power is easily appli
cable, and will probably be generally used
for working the air-pumps. It is further
claimed that this process of picking will
free the cotton of much of the dirt which
hitherto it has been found impossible to
get rid of, and will injure the staple less
than hand-picking. The machine, then,
far from complete, was tested in the field
at Kinston, in thi»'State, last Winter, and
in satisfactory performance exceeding the
hopes of its invjn tors.for it actually picked

B. Donley, accompanied
by an editorialßh reference to the pro
posed project of building a railroad from
Pittsburg, Pa., to Charleston, S. C., pass
ing through the great mineral region in
Montgomery county, Va-, by way of Char
lotte, N. C. The Messenger says:
This enterprise is being energetically
pushed by the people of Pittsburg and the
Monongahela Valley, and we have not the
least doubt but that it will he a success,
and the road built in a very few years.—
Pittsburg is conspicuous for its wealth,
and has the means to complete the enter
prise Independent of any outside help. Asa
great manufacturing city, she needs a south
ern outlet for the product of her manufac
tories to enable her to compete successful
ly with the cities of the East for the trade
of the States of the South in implements
and machinery. Her business men have
become fully aware of the importance of
this direct means of communication, and
have determined to have it at auy cost.—
Since the slaves have been freed, and the
industry and enterprise of the South has
been turned to manufacturing, the demand
for improved agricultural implements and
every description of machinery has in
creased, and will continue to increase to
an enormous extent. Nearly the whole
business capital of that city is engaged in
the production of these articles, and by
building this road she becomes at once the
chief source of supply for the five States
through which it will pass, and will be
placed on a footing to compete with her
rivals for the trade of the entire South.
The Montgomery and West .Point
Railroad. —We learn authentically that
the Central and Georgia Roads have as
sumed the obligations of this corporation,
and will run it jointly. So there will be
through trains both via West Point and
onr city. The stockholders of the road
hold a meeting in Montgomery on the first
Monday in June, by which time the present
officers will have ready a fall statement of
the finances and condition of the company.
They will then retire, and the corporations
mentioned, which, by that' time, will have
arranged all the preliminaries, will take
charge. The proposition was made to the
Georgia Railroad by the Central and ac
cepted, and the general plan settled upon
in a consultation between Presidents King
and Wadley and Pollard, of the respective
roads, at a meeting in Montgomery on
Thursday night. The Central owns a con
trolling interest in the line and will hardly
be willing to relinquish it.
Asa consequence no meeting of the
stockholders of any interest was expected
to be held on the 22d. Cols. Wadley, of
the Central, King, of the Georgia, Holt, of
the Southwestern, and Mott, acting Presi
dent of the Mobile and Girard Road, yes
terday returned home. —Columbus Sun, 23 d.
Dr. Bond thus touches a peculiarity of
the negro race:
But as yet negroes show no passion for
work among negroes. Their philanthropy
inevitably takes a tangential direction to
wards white society. Unlike Moses, vyho
abandoned the cultivated Egyptians to de
vote his educated talents to his own rude
people, the educated American negro finds
in hte education only a claim for separation
from his race and presumption of nearer
relation to ours. As soon as a negro be
comes a physician he wants to doctor white
people, to associate with white doctors, to
be un-negroed by his diploma.
Church Burnt.— We regret to learn
that the Episcopal Church building at
Willington, in our district, under the pas
toral charge of Rev. O. T. Porche, was
totally, consumed by fire on Friday night
last. It was clearly the work of an incen
diary, but We have heard no probable cause
assigned which conld have prompted the
act. Mr. Porcher is one of the most popu
lar men in his section—a sincere, pious
Christian, gentleman, and zealous pastor,
and eqaallv beloved by whites and blacks.

known practitioner in pulmonary and
bronchial diseases, and are distinguished
by their thorough acquaintance with the
subjects treated of, the simplicity and
clearness of their language and the de
monstrative force of the argument em-
* * * * *
“ Now, we know from the vast number
of cases treated and cures effected by Dr.
Hunter during the period referred to, that
his efforts contributed, if not to produce
all, at least the greater share of this im
provement. The severity of the past Win
ter would have Increased, instead of dimin
ished, the mortality arising from palmona
ry disease, had not there been some new
and powerful counteracting influence at
work.
Hi; • s’-
“ Wo have had personal experience of (he
happy results of (he Doctor's mode of treat
ment, and can vouch for its success. Owing
to the savere drudgery incident to our pur
suits, and that tendency to bronchial
diseases with which the peculiarity of our
climate afflicts such a large portion of our
population, we have been suffering for
several years past from a throat affection,
which ail the medicinal remedies that we
had formerly applied had failed to cure.
We can truly say that we have found more
relief, and greater hope of ultimately getting
rid of (he malady, from Dr. Hunter's mode
of treatment than from that of any other
medical man to whom we had previoudy sub
mitted our ease." ■

ruthless boys, who have shot at and destroyed pares
of Glass by the use of •* n 1 'bam ■ G ins ” or flings.
We recommend that the < rdlnary cau-e the glass to

who permit their sons to ute the “Alabama Guns,”
or other weapons if destruction, that they are re
sponsible for the impr-po- training and conduct of
tlieir sons.
Upon enmiua’ion of the books and papers in the

Church, together with other Beads, to be in very had
order, wh'ch deserve proper attention of the Com

Ordinary to give Md in the emp'oyment of hands, if
necessary, that the crossing at 1 ong Creek he put in

We also renomraond to the Ordinary that the

THE INFIRMITIES OF AGE.
Decrepitude is tho natural accompaniment of old
age, but it may b - ameliorated, and the period of en
tire heipiessnees long postponed by the judicious use
of a healthful stimulant. Physicians, fully aware of
this fact, ueu liy recommend moderate rtlmukltion
when the s reegth and vigor of maturity have been
suspended by the feebleness and prostration which
are the inevitable results of declining years. Pori
wine, gin, brandy, and other liquors, are often pre
scribed by medical men for aged persons, but the im
pulse wbhb fermented and distilled liquors give tc
the circulation, and tha energy they tee n to imp .rt,
it> transitory, unless the alcoholic principle is modi
fied and qualified by the presence of mediciDal tonics
and invigorauts. Os ail the combinations of diffusive
stimuli with the juices of herbs, roots and barks that
have ever been administered to the axed and infirm,
with the view of sustaining their waning st ength,
cheering their drooping spirits and relieving ihe
ache# ana pains to which they are subjected, none
has been found so efficacious, so agreeable and so
p rmanunt in its effects as Hosti tier’s Stomach Bit
ters. The difference between the effect of the Bit
ters and that of a mere excitant, however pure, is the
same as between the effect of a sudden and moment
ary app ication of excessive force to a given puipose,
and the result of a steady, continuous application oi
exactly the requisite amount of force to tho same
end. The mere spirit of physical energy produced by
a dram (aDd which is alway s succeeded by corre
sponding depression) never yet beneflt'ed any man
or woman suffering from physical decay. A cordial
Cke Hostetler's Bitters, at once soothing and invigor
ating, is the remedial agent required.
