! company in the sum of SSOO, and being

dozen respectable votes for the positions

called reform Governor to appoint. The
political cauldron is beginning to boil,

THE COURSE OF COTTON.
Weekly Review of the New Yerk market.
[.V. 7. Daily Bulletin .]
Beyond a reduced range of values all
around, there is in reality. nothing posi
tively new on this market since our last
review. The shrinkage seems to go on
without interruption of a permanent
character, the “bulls” being utterly at
fault in their efforts to bring forward
something of a checking character; and
though since the opening of the present
month the pressure to sell has not been
quite so great, the condition of affairs
induces the “bears” to keep hammering
away, and the number of “shorts” is
much increased, especially on the late
months. Should any thing of a posi
tively stimulating character be develop
ed, this fact must undoubtedly create
some lively times, but as matters now
stand it produces a concentration of
mutual aid among operators interested
in a decline, especially as it is a univer
sally admitted fact that rulin gfigures
have the appearance of being pretty low
at which to make sales in expectation of
a profit to be obtained through a further
decline. The generally favorable ap
pearances for the next crop have to some
extent facilitated the downward turn;
but there is no doubt that the old
trouble of “too much cotton” looms up
again iu altogether too plethoric propor
tions, and the difficulty of discovering
an outlet cluses decided uneasiness and
loss of confidence. Stocks accumulated
here are gradually becoming released
from speculative control as contracts
mature and are settled, and though the
cotton thus set free is offered with liber
ality, apd frequently at what appears
almost slaughter rates, it fails to attract
attention from buyers who will take it
out of the way. Exporters, contrary to
expectations, have been the most indif
ferent operators, as indeed they must be
in the tarhe condition of Liverpool, and
all hopes of any positive relief from
home sources are abandoned. Spinners
on both sides of the water buy just
enough stock to satisfy immediate wants
and no more, no matter how great the
temptation on cost. The above appears
to be about the main “coint” for the
week, a dozen others talked over being
simply old features in anew dress and
mainly theoretical.
Spots have again met with much neg
lect, notwithstanding reduced cost and
liberal offerings both of quantity and as
sortment, buyers proving entirely void
of appreciation on the constant efforts
made to secure their attention. Export
ers have been credited with a few lots,
but a portion were merely small invoices
taken on special orders, and other lots
those upon which bids made to get rid
of the importunities of sellers and
thought low enough to be safe were sud
denly and unexpectedly accepted. Noth
ing in the tenor of the foreign advices
has afforded the least eacouragemeut to
forward supplies, and even had shippers
wanted cotton, the offering through
short notices would have given them a
much better margin than table stock.
For the home demand there js nothing
to say beyond the fact that it has kept
along on just about the usual light aver
age from day to day, and could not be
forced beyond. The decline on cost for
the week is i@jfc on the officially an
nounced quotations, with the market
dull and unsettled at the close, and some
holders likely to make a still farther
shading to secure an outlet for their
stock.
For future delivery the market has
been feverish and uncertain, but gradu
ally sinking to a lower level, under the
generally’favorable crop indications, the
want of tone qu fhoforeign mirkets, the
absence of sale for tfic accumulation of
ac uni cotton left on hsnd an.d a large
amount of unloading by demoralised
“longs.” At one ’ time the condition of
the Mississippi excited some alarm, but
thH soon subsided, as did also a faint
show of firmness at Liverpool, and, be
yond the temporary gains when the
shorts, operating for quick turns, came
in to cover afid take thtir profits, the
“ bulls” have had few advantages. Mon
day’s market was very irregular, both
interests alternately gaining the advan
tage, but the close was l-33c. better on
a pretty sharp call to cover from the
small shorts. Another advance of about
l-32e. was made on Tuesday in
view of what were considered favor
able accounts from abroad, but the de
mand was not active. On Wednesday
the “siio.ts” appeared to have covered
about all they Cared tp, the vise of the
Mississippi was checked, and {Liyeryool
failing to sustain previous promises, a
drop of 3-ffic. os 'values at once took
place. Thursday's market continued
weak, th 6 offerings free and jc. more
was added to the decline. Friday was a
Utile unsettled, as the small operators
commenced t? take in profits, and the
close left value? wltuout fippided varia
tion. Saturday opened steady, but
finally the market became demoralized
again", declined 3-16 e. and left off with
very little tone apparent.

JEFFERSON COUNTY.
The Court—Judge Johnson—The Crops.
Jefferson County, Ga., May 18, 1876.
Editors Chronicle and Sentinel:
The regular Spring term of the Supe
rior Court for this county was opened
by that good aud pure man, Judge H.
V. Johnson, with one of his best and
ablest charges. He handles crime with
gloves eff, and indelibly fixes in the
minds of the jury their duty—to dili
gently search out and bring to the light
every perpetrator of crime—to pass by
none, be their social status what it may.
I have been acquainted with the Judge
for thirty years, and have known him
only to admire and to love him. His
appointment to this district is a God
send. The seed he is sowing will bring
forth fruit long after he shall have
passed away from earth. He dispatches
business rapidly. Three days brought
the Court to a close. There was but
one ca9e tried that attracted much at
tention. J. W. Kelly sued the Centra’
Railroad for injury done to two or three
fingers on his right hand He laid his
damages at ten thousand dollars; the
jury gave him three thousand. The
road was ably represented by Col. Hen
ry R. Jackson aud Gen. R. W. Carswell.
Judge Twiggs, Col. Cain and Capt. J.
H. Polhill appeared for Kelly. These
are able lawyers, and labored faithfully
for their client. The attendance on the
Court was unusually small—home in
terests are claiming the attention of our
farmers just now. We learn that the
crops are promising, all things consid
ered. The wheat and oat crops (espe
cially) are suffering for rain. I hear
some complaint of rust. The farmers
generally are about through working
over their corn the first time. King
cotton comes next and will receive due
attention.
Our people are taking but little inter
est in politics, but will stand by the
nominee for Governor whoever he may
be. Hard times is all the cry—and so
it will be until there is a com
plete revolution in the suicidal
policy pursued by our people. Let
everybody get out of debt and stay ont;
quit trying to get rich and be;satisfied
with a decent living, and make it at
home by raising their own supplies.
Let no one fiud a shelter on their prem
ises or anything to eat who is able to
work and won’t do it. And now, in con
clusion, let me say (without offense) to
fathers and mothers, brothers and sis
ters, one and all, now and forever, quit
your loolish extravagance. Let ten
yards of calico take the place of twenty
yards of more showy and expensive
goods, and that at the present price of

BARNWELL COUNTY.
[From our Chon Correspondent.]
Barnwell C. H., S. C., May 18.—Up
to this writing much business has been
disposed of by the Court now in session
at this place, and several negroes have
been sentenced to the penitentiary for
terms ranging from one to fifteen years.
Yesterday the first murder case of the
term came before the Court, in which
one negro was charged with the killing
of another some weeks since at a turpen
tine still near Allendale. The prisoner
was no doubt guilty, but by sharp prac
tice the case was not prosecuted and the
accused set at liberty. Another mur
der case was hoard to day, the trial
of yet another negro for the mur
der of a brother African. The pris
oner in this case admitted to your
correspondent, a few days since, his
bloody deed, and expressed but lit
tle hope of pardon • from the gallows—
fully expecting, did he manage to cheat
the cross-beam and drop of their
righteous dues, he would certainly take
quarters at the penitentiary for a long
time. His apprehensions bid fair to prove
fruitful; for, after hearing argument,
the jury retired and returned within a
half hour with a verdict of guilty. But
judgment in the case was at once staid
(on some ground unknown to the writer),
and the rascal will doubtless have yet
another trial; but the case is too plain
against him, aud he will undoubt
edly soon pas3 in his checks aud
switch off at some side station iu
h—; well some other and warmer coun
try than this. So mote it be. And
still another negro murder case will
come off to-morrow. In this case,
too, the prisoner has confessed his guilt
to me, but how the trial will end re
mains to be seen. He, too, should be
deprived of ever casting another ballot
for Radicalism, and be sent to shake
hands with the devil and many former
friends who have preceded him to that
healthy and delightful climate. So mote
it be again, I say.
The trial of Mr. Hutto, for the al
leged murder of the negro marshal of
Allendale, some time since, will doubt
less be had on Saturday. There is much
feeling manifested in this case, and the
prisoner has the sympathy of a large
number of gentlemen in this and Beau
fort county. It is thought, in conse
quence of floating rumors relative to the
killing, that Hutto will headj up all safe
and clear as a whistle; Will let you
have the result of the trial.
Our jail has been closely guarded by
a company of negro militia ever since
the opening of Court, aud to-day, about
6:30, p. m., one of the dusky guards,
during a past-time drill they were par
ticipating in, accidentally blew out the
brains of a brother “sojer,” thus dam
aging the Radical calculation one vote ;
for which offense he should be sent at
once to the Centennial or the South
Carolina Legislature Menagerie—the
penitentiary is too good a place for him.
The name of the fellow who held the
deadly weapon is Albert Gantt; that of
the defunct, James Connor.
Your “ Warwick ” contributor is quite
a wise acre. Is he to have a hand ia the
recommencement of the Blackville
News 9 The young gentlemen of the
sprightly little town of Williston give
their ninth annual pic-nic to-morrow
and a grand ball at night. A gala time
is anticipated by those expecting to at
tend. Will write you of it.
One of our merchants had liis till
tapped and a few goods purloined while
at dinner yesterday. The rogue is a
boy some twelve or thirteen years of
age, bat older pt his natural trade.
