A summarization of the speeches
made at the council of the order of
Planters of Husbandry, now in ses
sion at Louisville, show that there Is
no uniformity within the order In the
way of buying and selling. The com
mittee will doubtless reporta plan
that will bring about co-operation on
a grand scale, or else remit the sub
ject to each State for Independent
action, with appropriate recommen
dations.
Th London Times, discussing the
Turkish Intervention, says the Sultan
cannotsavo Herzegovina. It is fairly
out of his grasp, as If destiny had set
tled It. Ily a conference between the
powers, peace can be brought about
only by the extinction of the Turkish
authority. If the disturbed provinces
were once In the sufo-keeping of Aus
tria, the powors might take leisurely
a survey of the situation and provide
for the necessities of the future.
Kaon the admirable report of tho
Commissioner of Education, wo learn
that there are ten million children
of school ago In this country. To fur
nish books for that number, at tho
estimated cost per pupil, makes tho
enormous sum of fifty million dol
lars. The Washington Chronicle es
timates the profits of the publishers
and middle men at sixty per cent.,
making over thirty-three million.
The Chronicle thinks that this
amount might be saved to the people
of the country by reinforcing the Com
missioner of Education In his labors,
constituting a National Board of Ed
ucation, which might meet at Wash
ington, and arrange a national sys
tem of Instruction, compile anew se
ttee of school books, or adopt the la
bors of others, making a superior na
tional series, subject to Improvement,
at stated periods. The Government
might publish, or cause to bo pub
lished, in such manuer uud places as
would be advisable, this series, and
distribute to the State Boards in such
quantities as would be needed, at
cost, and in turn, tho State Boards in
such quantities as would be needed,at
cost, and in turn, tho State Boards
could distribute to country Boards,
and thence to districts, at first cost.
By adding a trifling sum to the origi
nal price, after the carriage and other
expenses were allowed for, a provi
sion might be made by which indi
gent children might be supplied with
such books as they required to carry
on their studies.
Among the many benefits that
would result from the adoption of a
national system of text books, might
be mentioned economy, uniformity
and Increased excellence.
THE COTTON CROP AMU WHAT THEN?
HOME PROGNOSTICATIONS AND POSSIBILI
TIES.
We commend to our readers the ad
mirable article from the Macon Tele
graph, which wo publish below. We
contemplate with horror the tenden
cy of our planters to glut tho produc
tion of cotton, and call upon them,as
we have repeatedly heretofore dono,
to diversify. Diversify, friends, else
ruin follows:
There was a prognostication yester
day from the southwest that if tno cot
ton in the Held could be saved, tho
incoming crop would outrank in mag
nitude any hitherto produced in the
Southern country. Wo have been in
clined to look for a crop in tho neigh
borhood of 4,200,000 bales, and to hope
that it will not greatly exceed that
amount. Three or four hundred
thousand bales in excess would make
prices entirely beyond the influence
of producers, and the whole cotton
growing business would rush down
hill to ruin without baekstrap or
breeching.
This, we take it, is the pending
question just now, and the great rock
of peril ahead. We may not strike it
this year; but where is the probabili
ty of missing it. next year, or any year
in the future which shall prove to be
very fruitful. Tho past heavily pro
ductive year, as affairs are progress
ing, is bound to overstock the raw
cotton inurket und send the whole
quite true that such u catastro
phe did happen twice before the war
with no Very ruinous consequences
to the plantar; but it will be unwise
iu cotton producers to measure the
future results of such a catastrophe
by the past. Before tho war their
lands and all their plantation Invest
ments, including laborers, were sol
id, available assets, yielding, alto
gether, a moderate income in the
shape of Increasing value, indepen
dent of crops. But now, there is
nothing to make farming lunds in
tho South of any money vuluo what
ever, except profitable returns from
culture: and when these ceaso and
cannot be reasonably expected to re
viv'e.Southernlands becomeas worth
less iu the market as railway stock
which con never bring a dividend.
And let no man delude himself with
the idea that a reoovery iu prices will
be an easy matter when quotations
have fallen absolutely below the cost
of production upon any reasonable
scale of remuneration. There will
still be a wide margin for loss in price
by the degradation of tho producers!
Negro labor oau still be squeezed
down a good deal in the interests of
consumers, und thon there is also an
Immensity of white labor which can
find little or no other employment
except In agriculture, and will be
forced to work at any price on the
“root hog or die" principle.
Cotton has sunk rapidly every suc
cessive year since the war, until we
see It now from fifty-two cents a
pound in 1866 to twelve cents in 1875.
Avery fewimonths more of that head
long speed in decliue will bring it to
a point when its culture will cease to
comfortably support the labor which
produces it, ana the latter must sink
to a condition of disorder and disor
ganization, or to mere squalor and
serfdom.
It would be folly aud cruelty to
hold up this impending doom before
the great Southern cotton interest, if
there were no remedy for this over
production. But there is a remedy—
an easy remedy—which an intelligent
people, seeing and appreciating the
deadly peril ahead, could be induced
toapply. It is in the power of the
State Oranges to abate the cotton
product a third, and so enforce rea-
sonable compensation for their labor.
This remedy Is a direct and legiti
mate one—resorted to by all handi
crafts when the markets become over
stocked with their goods and prices
fall below the cost of production.
It Is also in the power of the intel
ligent husbandry of tho South to
nmko such a diversion of their labor
as still to employ It all profitably and
increase their own productive wealth,
instead of sinking down into a de
structive and degrading poverty that
will deprive them oftne comforts
and elegancies of life. We can apply
a larger portion of our agricultural
labor to the cereals aud grasses and
to the production of animal food and
laboring stock. Wo can produce fruit
crops, rice, sugar, tobacco. Sisal
hemp, and all other fibres for the
production of the immense quantity
of bagging we annually consume;
and we can, if we would, add at least
twonty-flvo per cent, to our annual
revenues on tho fleece of sheep and
of the variety of valuable goats.
Tho vast range of our productive
capacities udmits of not the first rea
sonable ex#ußG for the over product,
of any single crop. The course we
are pursuing is gratuitious self-mur
dor. It is not alone that it is ruining
us pecuniarily; but that with pecuni
ary ruin, in this case, comes the loss
of social dignity—tho sinking down
gradually into tho condition of mere
peasantry. whoso scanty earning do
not permit of generous food, or the
means of mental, social and religious
culture.
If ever a ease called for a corps of
Peter the Hermits, to rouse up the
people to a sense of their danger and
the great yawning gulf of ruin before
them, we think this is one. Why do
the Grangers fail to appreciate the
crisis?

THAN KSGIYING—LADY CLERKS IN THE DE
PARTMENTS—THE IMPROVEMENTS OF
THE CAPITOL GROUNDS—WASHINGTON’S
STATUE—A QUAINT OLD VOLUME—THE
WASHINFTON SEASON APPROACHING.
From onr regular Correspondent.]
Washington, I). C., I
November 20,1H75. f
In less than three weeks from to
day, all eyes will be turned toward
Washington, and this, our National
Capitol, will be all ablaze with politi
cal and social excitement. The as
sembling of Congress, the opening of
the season, the inauguration of anew
regime in the House of Representa
tives, the consequent installation of a
now speaker in office, the President’s
Message, the national preparations
in Congress and in the Departments
for tho coming Centennial; all are
fraught with more than ordinary in
terest, and the description of the
vivid scones that are to fallow will
set many buisy pens going, and keep
a very much larger number of still
busier tongues wagging, '{for at least
six months to come.
There seems to bo a tacit under
standing in Washington, and among
Washingtonians, that the “Season”
opens with the Thanksgiving dinner.
The President has this year, as his
wont issued his mandate from the
White House, to tho effect that
Thursday next, tho 25th inst., is to
be Thanksgiving Day; and that day
will be duly observed here with all
the glory of stuffed turkey, eggnog,
eto. Could the Puritan fathers, who,
fleeing from the persecution of a
State church, sought liberty of con
science on the storile shore of New
England, and to whom we owe the
inauguration of an annual Thanks
giving Day, look back upon the
bountiful tables of their descendants,
what a contrast would it not picture
to them, compared with tho scanty
fare of those days, that barely saved
them from starvation. Had the Pil
grim fathers starved, by how many
millions would tho last census have
been reduced, is an interesting obser
vation in this connection. Nearly
one-half of our Congressmen aro of
New England origin. Not only,
therefore, would two or three hun
dred Puritans have banished from
tho earth, had it not been for the
fortunate and timely appearance of
tho ship that brought the starving
settlers provisions and caused them
in their joy to set aside a day for the
especial purpose of thanksgiving;
but “the germ of future life” ns
though under the war tread of a
Tamerlan or Napoleon, would have
died out also. But this is a digres
sion, and I would have made no allu
sion to it In this letter, were it not
for the very apparent and energetic
preparation of Washington general
ly to have a “grand old time” on
that day. Until tho Revolution,
Thanksgiving was mainly a local in
stitution in the New England States.
After the defeat of the Eegion of
King George, however the need of
a special national Thanksgiving
Day was universally reoognized, and
by general consent through the
North, East, and in the far West,
(Ohio was “the far West” and scarce
ly a frontiersman’s country,) tho old
New England Thanksgiving Day was
accepted. Since the war, however,
this Day has also been adopted by
the South, and is now nowhere cel
ebrated with more zest than in that
section of the country, and notably
here In Washington.
The old custom and family re
unions on Thanksgiving Day has
drawn a large number of visitors to
our city, most of whom, doubtless,
will remain long enough to
witness the scenery and inci
dents attending the opening of
Congress. Some, perhaps, come
wtth a view to securo appointments;
others come hero to “influence”
legislation in favor of certain claims,
etc. Of both of these classes of visi
tors, a large proportion is ladies; in
fact, the number of lady clerks in
the Departments here is increasing
every day. Among the ladies now
employed are not a few that belong
to some of our best familes: for in
stance Robert J. Walker, once Gov
ernor of Mississippi, Secretary of the
Treasury, and last, late not least, a
prominet and able lawyer, had a fair
young daughter, who has recently
become an orphan, earning her sup
port in the Bureau of International
Revenue. Mrs. Mary Johnson,
daughter of Col. Albert, who, for a
long series of years, was at the head
of the Typographical Bureau, has
for twelve years been a clerk in the
I Treasury. Her husband was consul
[ at Florence, Italy, and died there a
short time before tho war, not long
after hor father died. Mrs. Tilton,
sister of General Robert Ould, is a
clerk In tho International Revenue
Bureau; and the widows of Captain
Ringgold and Maj. Heap are there.
A grand-daughter of the Chief Jus
tice Taney is employed in the Depart
ment of the Interior.
To all tho avalanche of
Washington, even now, offers many
attractions, and these will be increas
ed a hundred-fold when Congress
meets. Anticipating that great
event, tho Capitol and surrounding
grounds have been greatly improved
recently, und a stranger, who has not
been here for a year or two, would
scarcely recognize that part of our
city, so much has it been changed.
Trees have been cut down and
transplanted, so as to change the en
tire aspect of the East and West parks,
and everything is arranged symmet
rically, oven to tho branches of the
remaining trees, whieh are being
topped off and twisted, so as to cor
respond to each other. Amid all this
change, there aro two old landmarks
that have weathered the storm of im
provements-one is the beautiful
Italian silver oak, that was Charles
Sumner’s especial favorite,und which,
out of reverence to his memory, has
been suffered to remain untouched,
and the other is a beach tree in the
East Park, that, for some reason or
other. Senator Cameron has become
attached to, and which has been
spared (so far) from tho woodman’s
axe, owing to his influence.
Inside of the Capitol Building the
changes aro less notable, though it
cost not less than sixty thousand dol
lars to effect what little improve
ment has been made tbMe, and keep
the building in repair. It is wonder
ful how these items of "repair,” etc.,
sum up when Government buildings
are the subject of them and Uncle
Sam has to foot the bill! As Lord
Dundreary would say, “that is one of
those things whieh no fellow can
find out?” The great statue of
Washington, by Greenough, origi
nally intended for the Rotunda of
the Capitol, but left out iu the cold
years ago, which is cruel, as ho has
not much clothes on. It has been
removed and brought nearer to the
building, and there he sits, the Fath
er of ills Country, tho sword in out
stretched hand, and with an expres
sion that, if the mute marble could
speak, would clearly be, “There, gen
tlemen, is my sword; my clothes are
in the Patent Office 1”
The Capitol Building itself has
been so often described, that I shall
not tire your readers with a repeti
tion of what most of them know al
ready; yet there are many things in
that huge structure that deserve a
more detailed and critical descrip
tion than that accorded them in
guide books and similar sources of
information. Many new works of
art, (some of doubtful merit), have
recently been added, and there are
odd nooks and corners about the
building that seem, so far, to have
escaped the notice of tho omnipres
ent newspaper correspondent. These
abound with odds and ends in the
shape of curiosities; dusty and mould
ing, perhaps, but interesting withal.
Thus, a few days ago I came across an
old book in tho Sonato Library,
that is quite a curiosity in
its way. It is partly a scrap-book,
partly a record, and partly an ex
pense account of the Senate from the
date of the First Congress to 1835, and
later. Among the contents of this
volume are the programmes of the
funeral services of members and sen
ators dying during the several ses
sions, and, considering the compara
tively small size of Congress then, the
mortality is astonishing. In the ses
sion of December, 1813, to July, 1844,
three Senators, ten members, two
Cabinet officers, and two Judges of
the Supreme Court, died. There aro
accounts of tho funerals of Clinton,
of Revolutionary fame; of Gerry, ex-
Vice-President; Burwell, whom a co
temporary editor bewails because he
was one of the few Congressmen who
said little, but thought a great deal;
Pinckney, the gallant soldier; Gail
lard, whom Calhoun declared had
“never for a moment lost the charac
ter of a gentleman”; Cilley, the vic
tim of one of tho most famous Amer
ican duels; McConnell, a suicide;
John Quincy Adams, who died in tho
Speaker’s room ; Calhoun, Clay, and
Brooks, Charles Sumner’s old foe;
and, appendod to one of the earlier,
is a little account of the funeral ex
penses—embracing crackers and
cheese, pound cake, brandy, cigars,
and an item for somebody “sitting tip
with a corpse.”
There are many quaint reminis
cences like this, of a by-gone time, In
and about the Capitol; in fact, these
souvenirs are scattered all through
Washington. The State and the
Treasury Department both abound
in interesting relics; and for the his
torian or antiquarian, these mental
by-paths of Washington are no less
interesting, than is the vortex of
social excitement and enjoyment to
the full-fledged belle, in tho height
of a Washington season.
A Xcw llnnan/a.
We have lately called the attention
of our readers to the very heavy and
increasing stocks of eoffo in the ports
of the United States, aud to the ef
forts of speculators to uphold the ex
cessive prices which are now asked
and which have ruled in that article
ever since the short crop of 1872 and
1873. althrough the large crops of suc
ceeding years, rising from 10jc,@12Jc.
in 1872 to 18te.@2ij. since that one
short crop.
It is whispered that a strong move
ment will be made at the coming ses
sion of Congress to get a duty on ten
aud coffee. Here’s a bonanza! Let
us look into it. According to our
showing iu our issue of last week the
Visible Stock of Coffee In the
United States at that date
was 46,985 tons.
To this we aid tho average
imports of tho months of
December. January, Febru
ary and March for the last
four years 45,974 “
THE TIMES: TORS DAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 25, 1875.
Making on Ist April noxt 92,959 “
From which wo deduct the
consumption of the above
four months at the month
ly average of tho four pre
vious years 88,496 "
Leaving a stock on the Ist
April of M,4C3 tons,
or nearly six months’ consumption of
the whole United States to evade the
duty of the new tnrilT, if put at Sc.
per lb., will amount to $3,659,913. 60,
or at sc. per lb. to $6,099,856. 00. This
we call a pretty good Bonanza to
take from the pockets of the retailer
and consumer and place in the hands
of tho operators.
We do not believe it will work. The
time for high prices has gone by; the
whole mercantile world is prostrate
from excessive speculation, while
consumers have quietly but sturdily
resolved that their support shall be
withdrawn from every scheme that
promises a renewal or tho fictitious
prices which have been robbing them
of their substance for the last ten
years. The party in Congress which
will father such a scheme in the face
of a Presidential election would com
mit harl kari by so doing, for the
people would not stand it, and we
think the Merchants’ Protective As
sociations and the country dealers
would make their voices so powerful
in their districts and would so thor
oughly ventilate tho iniquity to the
consumers that no sane politician
would dare to sustain it.—-American
