THE FISCAL CORPORATION BILL.
Tbs bin for the establishment Of a fis.
cal Agent passed the Senate on The ~ IN
stanl, by yeas p nays -. This bih, says
the lnteiligencer, having been carefully
framed so as 10 adopt il to the understood
views Of the President as to tie proper
form aud structure Of Fiscal Institution
for the use Of the Gotefsiacut, H.,i view
also to the equalization Of exchanges, and
having passed both Houses By the votes Of
bis political friends and against the unaHi-
NOUS vote of his political adyersaries, there
IS good reason for believing that the bill
will receive hls appreciation and signature.
We are sorry to sly that later accounts
disPel all hopes Of the Preslden, approving
this bill. Bad counsel, we fear, has nude

: Deficiency Of present crop, 3l1,s6
1t appears from this that the receipts o
March, lS4l, have fallen short Of March
ls40, by 100000 bales, which indicate.
that the crop is nearly exhausted, fol
March is ever brisk month and the ma
vigation for the greater part of it has
been good. The freshet may have hac
some influence, but for very brief space
In short, the prospect of the crop for the
remaining part Of the year is gloomy
enough, and should warn all men to spend
as little money as possible.
In regard to the disposition of that part
OF the crop which has already come to
market, there is little to remark. The
export coastwise is influenced by so many
circumstances, that it is not easy to draw
any conclusions from it. This item has
increased the present season about 1O0,-
600 bales, and as this is not explained by
any considerable increase in the aggre-
gate of foreign exports and of stock at
New York, we may suppose that the do
mestic consumption has largely advanced.
In regard to the direct Foreign exports,
it should be observed, that the exports to
Great Britain alone on the lst of April
last year, very nearly equalled the ex-
ports of this season to all Foreign places.
Still the stock on hand in the Southern
ports is much less than in ls40.
The amount of Sea Islands approaches
much nearer to the crops of last year than
was anticipated. The comparison on the
lst of April is as follows:
1s41, 16,3O1 bales.
1910, 19,O49 bales.
Of all the Southern States Georgia will
suffer most from the deficiency. Not only
because the deficiency is there greatest,
but her citizens are greatly in debt-her
banking system is in the EXTREMIST con-
fusion, and a number of State works are
in progress, involving great expenditure.
The ENHANCEMENT of the State with rot
ten banks will add to the distress, if it
does not bring about public bankruptcy
and grand explosion of the credit sys-
tenn in Georgia.-Mercury.

THE COTTON CROP.

We gave it as our opinion on the 1st ol
March, that the falling off in the crop fol
the latter part of the year, would be
greater in proportion than for the preced-
ing five months, and on this we based a
calculation that the present crop would
moi exceed 100000. bales. The re-
ceipts for the north Of March indicate
that it will fall short of that. And MOTH
ing is more certain now, than that the de-
fciency is general, although more oppres-
sively great in South Carolina and Geor-
gia than in the Southwest. On the first
of March the excess of the last, over the
present crop, was, as we stated, some
thing more than 100000 bales. The fol-
lowing is table of the receipts Of Cot
ton at the principal Southern ports at
1ates nearest tho first t,f 4 April
