This Springfield, Mass., Republican
lias gathered some statistics In ref

shows an advance In nearly all
branches of labor except railroad ser

June 30, 1874, *178,618,985; for tho

The Lynchburg News generally
takes an accurate view of important
matters. The following sentence
concerning the Railroad convention
at Bt. Louis, which was so adroitly
manipulated by Tom Hoott, expresses
thesubjeotas we view it; “Butwheth
er they arc conscious of it or not, tho
Southern representatives at that con
vention were engaged In carrying out
the schemes of Thomas A. Soott, and
schemes which, though he has delud
ed them into believing in the highest
degree beneficial to their section, will
prove of no advantage to the South
in comparison with what she will of
necessity lose if they should prove
successful. The South is once again

Tue Chicago Tribune, having se-.

scheme of Government aid to the
Texas & Pacific railroad, provokes
the New Orleans Picayune to retort
as follows:
It is stntnge that it did not occur to
the Tribune that if its argument had
any force it would have applied
equally as well to the present Pacific
railroad monopoly, in the interest
of which it labors. Although that
road was built at an expense to the
oouutry far greater than was neces
sary, and although it evades its obli
gations to the Government, it has
nevertheless proved a very profitable
investment to the country.

Anonymous Edit oris I Writers.
Journalism is prostituted when it
is used to subserve personal ends.
An oditor who allows personal preju
dices to warp his judgment, weakens
his influence. But worse than this is
the habit of allowing anonymous
contributors to use the editorial
space in order to clandestinely tar
uish'thc fame of men high in official
position and holding a life tenure
upon the hearts of their people. Un
j fortunate is the editor who assumes
the responsibility of these unjustifi
able uttooks, that will in the end re
coil upon their authors. Well may
he say, “save me from my friends.”
And the politician, ready to climb
the ladder of fame by means of the
ruin which he has wrought or has
attempted to effect, will be visited
with the condemnation that he de
serves. Tho writer hired to do his
master’s bidding, may well hide his
diminished head. True journalism
should lie above such practices as
those. A journalist who “stoops to
conquer,” is unworthy tho notice of
the men whom he seeks to injure.
Ttt No-Dene* la.
The Charleston Courier, Abbeville
Medium, Abbeville Press, Columbia
Register and Laurensville Herald, ad
vocate that stock be fenced in, instead
of fenced out, in Houth Carolina. How
many papers in Georgia will join us
in advocating tho same law ? Of
course there are some counties where
this law will nor be to the general in
terest. I.ot those communities, by a
two-thirds vote or majority vote, so
decide, but let the general law be
against the fencing in of crops. This
is much more equitable than the
present law, as farmers are slow to
act, and it is difficult to get them to
meet together in order to discuss
such questions.
Wl.at a Foreigner Nm tu Condemn.
Mr. Trench, an Englishman, who
settled in Virginia In 1872, uftor enum
erating tho many advantages of that
.State, writes as follows to the New
York South,concerning the obstacles
to successful farming at the South.
Theso obstacles arc:
1. The number of our dogs, which
render it almost an impossibility to
raiso sheep and stock.
2. The improvement of tho roads,
which, in their present condition, are
unfit to travel, and at timos impass
able.
3. The want of local markets.
Considering the short time I have
been in the county I have done quite
as well as I could expect. The in
habitants, with few exceptions, have
ulways been most kind, courteous,
und hospitable.
Hoping these few hurried remarks
will be of use to your readers, and
’through them, to others, I remain,
yours, faithfully,
0. Stewart Trench.
If the convicts in Georgia are put
to work on tho roads throughout, the
Stnto, wo will soon have the best pos
sible roads in the ootton States. The
macademized roads in Kentucky have
attracted immigration to that State,
and onhuuced the value of all contig
uous lands; besides, tho present sys
tem of farming out oonviets, to enrich
private individuals, is wrong in prin
ciple and unsatisfactory in results.
General Mehenek.
If there were no other causes for
the defeat of General Grant next
year, his determination to keep in
office notorious criminals ought to
disgust the Americau as it has out
raged tho English people. Speaking
of the hero of the Emma Mine swin
dle the De*oit Froe Press says:
Tue fact is, putting it as mildly as
possible, that Gonoral Schenek was
unable to resist the temptation of
making himself rich with no outlay
on his part. His virtue was not proof
against a $50,000 offer, and he wont
into a gigantic swindle without any
other view of the matter than that
lie was going to reap an immense
profit, aud reconciling the Immorality
of the transaction to his conscience
by tho prospect of that profit. His
conduct stamps him as an unfit man
to represent the United States
abroad, and the Administration, if it
tias any regard fort lie national honor,
will recall him without delay. The
people of the United States nave no
desire to be represented at the Court
of St. James by a man who will con
sent to act the part of stool-pigeon
for tho sum of *50,000. They want a
man who can not be bribed either
directly or indirectly.
The local effect of the building of
the Texas & Pacific Railroad is thus
described by the Daily Jimplecute-, of
November 39th, published at Jeffer
son, Texas:
Tho Fort Worth Democrat , of the
37th, says; Messrs. Roche Bros. &
Tierney commenced work on the
Texas iV Pacific. Railway at this place
Monday morning last, with thirty
five or forty teams. This looks like
business. Mr. Roche informed us ho
would have between forty and fifty
teams under full headway before the
dose of the week, and about oue
hundred hands. This looks so much
like business tlmt the outside world
has already found it out, and people
are coming in crowds. Every house
in town that is at all tenable is occu
pied, and new ones are being built.
The following from the San Fran
cisco Call illustrates the difference
between the climate of California and
this country:
The Rains.— Since tho first day of
November —the usual time to expect
the inauguration of the rainy season
—there Inis been no lack of showers.
In this region they come down at
frequent intervals, and completely
drench the earth and permeate to
the roots of all growing vegetation.
They have washed the foliage, laid
the dust, delighted the farmers aud
started the grass to growiug. which
now exhibits the hills and valleys in
Ia garb of beautiful verdure. The
miners are rejoiced, and the agricul
turists have gone to plowing.

Dr. Baker’s response to W. W.
Payne, and other members of the
Legislature, concerning tho Bartow
jury, is'an able and truthful docu
ment. The doctor says:
I know nothing of the dockets of
their counties, but, I do know bow
those of Bartow are. A county that
contains half the litigatiou of Cher
okee circuit. I know the business on
the dockets isaccumulating. I know
there are a great many eases on the
dockets, that were brought four and
five years ago, tiiat have never been
called or sounded. I know men of
Bartow county who have their all
hung up in court, and have hud for
yours, and can not got their eases dis
posed of, and urc forced to attend
court from year to yeur, at a heavy
cost without their eases ever being
called. There are much fewer eases
brought to our Superior court than
before the war. And yet we have
three times as much court. I have
eases on the docket that have been
there for four or five years. I am
forced to attend each term of court
with my witnesses, and huve an exe
cution issued against me at the end
of each term for witness fees. And
my cases have never yet been called.
I know many others in tho same con
dition.
Litigation in Bartow county is a
terrible and discouraging foe to the
industrious farmer, anxious to do his
duty, but protect his rights. The peo
ple of Bartow county owe a great
deal to Dr. Baker for his fearless
advocacy of their rights. The Grand
■Turymun is a sworn officer, and
his rights will be tho better respect
ed for this criticism of Judge Mc-
Cntcheon.

“Halifax,” tho correspondent oJ the
Augusta Chronicde, writes from At

From present indications I am in
clined to believe that if a set of dele
gates for each Gubernatorial aspi
rant, were voted for in Atlanta, Jas.
M. Hmith delegates would be elected
in consequence of a division between
James, Colquitt and Gartrell, ull of
whom are strong here. In a single

himself and any man, it is probable
that John H. James could secure the
Fulton county delegation. He is
gaining in strength steadily. Every
person that knows him believes that
he is not. only financially honest but
politically honest; that he could he

Tlie Connie of Cotton.
From the New York Bulletin, November 30.]
The market has developed no very
stirring features during the week,
the general volume of business prov
ing small and tho tone slack. The
gain has been almost entirely in fa
vor of the buying interest, especially
marked on contracts maturing at an
early date, without attracting much
of an increase of demand. Indeed,
wo think, if anything, there has been
some loss of faith in cotton, tending,
in a measure, to cheek the cull for
actual supplies, and to prevent pur
chases of futures as an investment;
yet, at the rates ruling, the prospect
of a shrinkage are not considered
sufficiently encouraging to warrant
“short” sales to any extent, or to in
duce a decided pressure. This is un
doubtedly duo in a great measure to
tho continued oversold condition of
tho market, and the natural timidity
of the “bears,” and many of the
trade are of opinion that, under
other circumstances, tho weight of
the receipts at tho ports, and tho
slow state of the consumptive busi
ness, would prove sufficient, to cause
a more serious break. Taken Alto
gether, tho “bullish” feeling is not
strong at the moment, and while their
opponents are fairly confident, they
await a more i>ositivo support before
operating freely on their convictions.
The movement of “spots” has been
somewhat irregular, but not very lib
eral, and to dispose of supplies deal
ers have been compelled to gradual
ly modify their views. On homo ac
count the demand has merely cover
ed the ordinary small parcels re
quired by spinners to carry them
through some immediate pressing
want, and was quite uncertain in
character. From buyers on foreign
orders the cull was, like last week,
confined to special lots and princi
pally for shipment to tho Continent.
Exporters generally were receiving a
full supply on contract; indeed,
rather more, it was hinted t han they
cared to handle, but deliveries in this
waydo not always afford an opportu
nity to satisfy the requirements as to
certain grades, and lienee the special
inquiry us noted. Values have given
way about |c. per pound for tho peri
od covered by review,and at the close
of the week (lid not show any signs
of recovery. Holders have been
somewhat more liberal in their offer
ings, and while at no time was tGo
pressure to realize of a deckled char
acter, there was throughout rather
more cotton available than the wants
of tiro market required. Parcels to
arrive from the South, too, have been
offered with some little freedom and
at comparatively liberal terms, hut.
were not much wanted. A fair busi
ness was done free on board at
Southern ports early in the week,
but afterward became dull, though
full rates were still asked, and the
amount offered was not large.
For future delivery tho market has
been somewhat fitful, but on the
whole weak, and values have aver
aged lower. Tho heavy tone was
most decided on the near-bv months,
.and this was due to the disappear
ance of all indications of a November
corner, with some pressure brought
to bear upon December. The issue
of short notices was pretty full; in
deed, rather in excess of calculations,
and though they were stopped aud
generally supposed to go where they
would ultimately result in shipping
so much cotton out of tho market, a
surplus still remained, aud the effect
was weakening. Among other influ
ences were the continued free arrivals
at the ports, the absence of vitality
at Liverpool, and a not altogether
encouraging outlook on the general
goods market. Stocks at this point,
too, have kept up well, and though it
is known that the running count cov
ers a considerable amount on ship
board not cleared, this is in a meas
ure considered as neutralized by the
slow sale of spots, with a probability
that there is a gradual addition to
the amount of cotton remaining in
first hands unsold. The operations
during the week have been largely
confined to manipulations on con
tracts already outstanding, and there
has probably been tfo increase of
either the "bear” or the “bull” in
terest.

The Springfield, Mass., Republican
states that tlie fractional currency
has been contracted one-sixth in 13
months, the amount, outstanding, Oc
tober 31,1874, being *4B,lsl,o(H),against
$40,681,000 on October 30, 1875. Prac
tically, the contraction has been con
siderably more than this, as probably
$10,000,000 of the amount outstanding
has disappeared from circulation.
Taking this into account, the contrac
tion has been somewhere between
one-forth and one-flfth. At all events,
it begins to be felt locally in the scar -
HE TIMES: SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 5, 1875.
oity of 50-conts scrip, which consti
tutes one-third or the issue, and
Northern traders, instead of deposit
ing scrip with their dally balances,
as was formerly the case, have now
frequent occasion to ask it of the
banks. The protraction proceeds
slowly and is affected by not print
ing any new scrip to replace the
worn and multilated sent in for re
demption, Another six months of
contraction at the present rate will
produce such a scarcity that there
will be use for the silver coin which
Mr. Bristow is storing up.
Tho substitution of silver change
for fractional currency does not nec
essarily accompany specie payments
any more than the substitution of
bullion money for all paper, but is
based on other grounds. It is desi
rable to keep a certain fund of specie
in the iiands of the people, and this
can bo best attained by using it for
small change. Again, a metallic cur
rency, once established, is much
cheaper than the paper currency. A
ten-cent scrip wears out as quick as a
dollar bill and generally much quick
er from the more rapid circulation,
and costs nearly as much at the
hands of the engraver and printer.
Over $2. r .<),000,000 fractional currency
has been destroyed by the United
States Treasury since the beginning
of the war, to say nothing of the
amounts destroyed in the hands of
the people. The annual cost of re
placement, therefore, is quite a per
cent, on the fractional currency, and
much more than the loss ou a silver
currency by abrasion.
The Republican adds that the pre
cise extent to which stiecie shall fur
ther be substituted for paper is an
open question, not involved in the
desirability of a return to specie pay
ments. This fteoide will ultimately
assert their belief in a paper curren
cy, redeemable and daily redeemed
in gold. But, probably, we shall nev
er, as has been proposed by some,
substitute coin for all denominations
less than $5. It is the extremity of
bullionism, demanding such meas
ures as this, against which Prof. Price
has made it his mission to battle. The
American tradition associates paper
with the denomination of sl, and is
not likely to conoede any change
without strong reasons.
Another Great University.— The
Presbyterian Synods of Alabnmn,
Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, Nash
ville, and Memphis, have united in
obtaining a charter for the South
western Presbyterian University. The
board of commissioners selected
Clarksville, Teun., as tin; loeatioip
and Stewart College, with its fund
and appurtenunees, as the nucleus of
future operations. There is now on
hand SIOO,OOO of endowment fund
sufely invested, which is one-Hfth of
the uinount proposed to be raised.
In addition to the grounds and build
ings, worth $50,000. there are cabinets
of minerals, fossils, and scientific
books, representing *30,000. The for
mer faculty of Stewart College will
be continued provisional.

THE COTTON STATES LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
OF 1 MACON, GA.,
Desirous of meeting the demand of the insuring public for low rates, and contracts that can be un
derstood by all, offers the Eudowment-Life-Rate Policy, with confidence that an examination of the
plan is all that is necessary to commend it to the favor of all desiring insurance. This plan secures
two objects: Ist. It provides for those dependent upon ua in the event of death. 2d. It provides
for our old age in case we attain a stipulated age. The low rate of premium, and the fact that the in
surance is payable with the ordinary period of life, makes it the most desirable form of policy new
offered to the public.
ReHsomfoi- Insuring- on the Enlov*ment-I.lfe-Kte Plant
Ist. It gives the insurance at the lowest possible cost. 2d. It provides for your family in case o
death. 3d. It provides for youraell’ in case of old ago. 4th. There can be no loss. In case premi
ums should be discontinued, paid up insurance is given for the amount paid in premiums. sth. It
is better than a savings bank. The first premium i aid secures a fortune, and U pumenta are con
tinued the accumulations and the amount Insured will be much more than could be earned by the
most fortunate savings bank. tttb. It secures the amount at a stipulated age,within the ordinary pe
riod of life; aud 7th. By this means it is no longer necessary to *uie to win.”
REASONS FOR INSURING IN THE COTTON STATES LIFE

aid to Southern families upwards of $300,000. 4th. All claims are paid proinptly-nolongerdelays
