Selma, Ala, Dec. l6.-The receipts at this
point feOt up 1898, and the stock on hand IS
s,i60. There is probably very little cotton LETT
crop was short and the fall exceedingly fayoTa-
bic for gathering, and we can safely conclude
that the amount shipped from Selma this season
will not exceed 22,5O0 or 1900 bales. This il a
lAmentable falling on from the old ante bellum
crops, when Selma shipped so 900 to 10000 bales
The area Of the region Of country shipping from
Selma has rather increased than diminished in
the last six years. So we can safely assert that
this section OF the cotton growing region pro-
duee less than ORe-tOurth Of an average crop be-
fore the war.
HUNTSVILLE, Ala, Dee. 27.-There was a brisk
business done in cotton day. Beadls 4 Kelley

the railroad cannot do 50 at present. II is hoped
however. that IL will be shiDned soon.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN LOUISVILLE
On Thursday night last, in Louisville, Jno.
w. Perkins, an old man of sixty
years, with wife and FIVE children, muir
dered hls wife by cutting her throat with a
razor and then attempted suicide by cut
ting his own throat. 1t is probable that he
will not survive. He has resided in Lou
isville for many years, was a member Of a
leading church, and had the confidence of
Of his employers and friends. He was,
however, short time ago detected in the
act OF stealing from his employers, Waters
& Fox, tried, convicted and sentenced to
the penitentiary for two years, but was par
doned by Governor Bramlett on account
Of his age and the dependence of his
family. The greatest sympathy was
felt for the old man, and his friends
hoped that he would turn from
the path of sin into which he had
been allured, and again return 10 the
path of honesty and rectitude bat in this
their hopes were blasted. He addressed a
letter TO his eldest daughter, giving her
directions about family affairs, and adding
the following:
This morning (Christmas) is my last
day with You. This morning, when
walked up, ! asked your mother for Christ
mas gift. She said she had none told
her a kiss would do, to which she strenu-
ously refused, which mortified my feelings,
for ! asked IT in love from my heart"
To this portion Of the letter there was
no signature, which would lead one TO the
belief that he had been contemplating the
tragedy for several days, and had written
the letter at different times. Il is generally
believed that Perkins was deranged, which
arrangement was occasioned by his trial
and conviction for his crimes at Waters &
Fox's.

number Of bales, be squeezed cut Of the
South?
The New Orleans Titses says: The false
estimates put forth early in tine season by
interested New YORK spectators and
FreedInen's Bureau agents, have had dis
astrous effect on all the cotton producing
portions Of the country. These estimates
we're, in some instances, made BY crazy en-
thusiasis, who supposed that negroes, as
freedmen, would prove far more Industrious
and reliable laborers than they did while
In state Of involuntary servitude, but for
the most part they were furnished with in
tent aforethOught to deceive, and that intent
has, unfortunately, been carried out with
decided success. England, the great cotton
consumer, believed, till recently. that the
cotton crop OF America would exceed
$500, 600 bales, and rested secure under the
conviction that she could make her pur-
chRses to the best advantage, late in the !
season, when the great bnlk Of the crop had !
been gathered and sent tn market. But !
the interested Northern spectators knew |
better than this, and aler they had sue
ceeded in depreciating the price Of our |
great staple to the loves possible figure,
they sent their drummers through the cot |
ton States, and, taking advantage Of the |
necessities Of the planters, made small adj
vanees on the growing crops, and pur- |
chased the product Of whole sections of
country at figures which left them wide
margin for profit The English operators
are now aware that they have been eyre
giously deceived in this matter, and are
anxious to purchase. but the bulls and
bears of the Northern gold market have
played into each Others hands, to the disad-
vantage of their British cousins, and have
so pulled down the price of gold and the
rates of exchange, that JOha Bull has now
to pay an average Of from three to four
cents more per pound for cotton than it
costs Jonathan, who pays in greenbacks.
This practical difference in price--brOught
about by the triekery of trade and the
hocus-poeus Of exchange-has operated
sadly against Southern interests. This case
furnishes a new instance in which the ne
cessitous Jacob is taken advantage Of by
the avarieious Esau. The price CT cotton
IS less in greenbacks than it should be in
gold, considering the shOrtness Of the crop,
and the difference between what the Ameri-
can manufacturers have paid and what
English manufacturers will have to pay be-
fore the close of the approaching January,
becomes clear profit and protection to the
roru,ar

When Secretary Stewards cable dispatch
to Minister Bigelow reached Paris, some re-
ports Of its character leaked ont and were
spread over the city before it had been re-
eeived in full at the foreign Office Among
these was a report that Napoleon had Of
fered the whole territory of Mexico to the
United States on the condition that the
French claims we're guaranteed, and that
the proposition had been accepted. The
effect of this was TO cause an immediate
rise of thirteen francs in Mexican obliga-
tons. This incident is valuable only as
serving to show the estimation cs our fnan-
