Interesting Cotton Statistics.

From the report of Easton &
Co., New York Cotton Brokers,
of March 9th, we copy the follow
inc statistics Of the cotton ma ket
and crop of 1868, which to say
the least, do not Indicate a de-
cline in prices:
The holders in this country are
strengthened in their position by the
great falling off in receipts. and re-
duced estimates of crop. In Manches-
ter the feGr oflower prices. in the ear
Nv summer, deterS buyers of goods for
distant markets from giving out or
ders. We believe that this fear will be
disipated when the probable supply for
England. from this crop is better I'M
derstood. Our spinners have been
buying less than their consumption for
six weeks past. They keep out of the
market. because they see prices here
Nd to sd. higher than those of Liver
pool. Should prices in the two mar
kets approach a parity, either by a
decline here or rise abroad, an active
spinning demand would Immediately
here that the supply from this crop
will not be enough for Europe and
America. and oaF spinners are deter
mined shat they Will have their full
share. Transit Cotton has generally
been held of the market. and several
/ thousand bales have been forwarded to
| Liverpool on owners account. The
statistical position shows soaps bales
excess this week. As we shall COM
/ pare with much larger figures soon,
/ we expect that the excess will disap-
| pear within two weeks. There have
/ been received at the ports since 1st
September. l,652592 bales- OF which
exporters have taken SS3494 spinners.
! 4I4.5SS: and the stocks have increased
/ 354.51O bales. DEFICIT in receipts, as
compared with last year, 1870 bales.
( Deficit in shipments TO Liverpool, iso1r
| lSS 500 bales.
In our circular of 22nd january, we
expressed the opinion that there would
be a deficit in Liverpool exports of
/ 100000 bales, by the last of March.
I That de6cit now stands at lSS.S 63 bales.
The shipments from 9th March to 18th
| Nav. 1868. to Liverpool amounted to
I 394. lO4 bales, and it now looks as if the
defctt would stand at 100000 bales, on
/ 18Th Nav. Last season, on 18th Aug
our tables showed exports t. Great
Britain of 1921 ,O10 bales. This year,
we cannot see how more than 1900
bales can be spared.
ESTIMATE OF CRoP.-In making up
our estimate. we have taken the fol-
lowing basis: $4,000 bales for New
Orleans; 10000 bales for Texas ports
q deficiency of one-third in the States
| of Alabama, Georgia and Florida as
| compared with last year; deficiency
of one-fifth In South Carolina. North
Carolina and Virginia the same as last
wear: and 100000 bales for overland
cotton. This calculation would give
: about 10000 bales more TO be received
at the ports up to 1st September, and ;
crop of 100000 bales.

The most remarkable revelation
vet made of the scheme Of the
Committee of Five represented
by the Eggleston party, who have
been towering around Congress
for months in order to get them
selves foisted by outside force into
the Offices which the registered
/ voters refused to confer upon
them, is contained in the letter Of
Rev. Lester Williams, Chaplain
( Of the Convention.
This extraordinary epistle was
marked confidential" and was
written with the freedom of pri-
vate correspondence; but Mr..
Boutwell, not believing that in
reference to a great public ques-
ton, matters vitality affecting its
merits should be kept secret, de
livered the communication to be
printed with the other evidence.
And so the Rev. Mr.. Williams,
who was the spiritual adviser Of
the Convention, and mediator be-
tween his ringed, streaked and
speckled flock, and offended Deity,
reveals the mystery Of the open
day and secret night proceedings
Of The conspirators.
He warns the Chairman Of the
Reconstruction Committee that
no greater calamity could befall
the State than the consummation
Of the scheme of the Committee Of
Five with "the sIender sholo Hat
Mey are able to make for tt
that the "RcpubIicanS all over
the State" for months acquieaed
in, and acknowledged, the defeat
Of the proposed constitution
that "lcith special purpose IN
gie,o" they culled counties here
and there for rejection, the "pur
pose" being to secure a carpet
bag legislature and to reverse
the vote in four Of the
five Congressional Districts II
that the proclamation of Gibbs
& Co., issued between four and
five months after the election, on
the 9th Of November, was CO.
incident with the election of Gen.
Grant, thus proving that its
authors designed to make him and .
his administration cO-partners in
the atrocious fraud, not only on
the voters of the State, but on
Congress.
With such revelations as these,
by the Chaplain of the Conven-
ton, a Northern preacher and a
Radical politician who was nomi-
mated as a candidate for ElectOr /
Oh the Republican ticket in Mis- |
sissippi, no wonder the republi- /
cans in Congress paused before |
perpetrating the outrage of which |
they were asked by the Eggles-
tonians to make themselves guilty. |
There was no answer TO his accu
sations. They could not charge ,
that he was a "rebel.' They /
could not charge that he was act
ing in the interest Of Demo
Gratis" as they have declared in |
reference to the patriotic labors Of |
Jefords, Tindall and others. They |
could not assert, as they have alb /
surdly alleged, in the case of Gen.
GilIem, that he was opposed to
reconstruction" 1t was the tes-
timony Of their accredited spirit |
ual guide, and a Radical Of the
straightest sect.
Let it be read and filed away as
a part of the history Of c scheme |
when, conceived in fraud, and |
brought forth in audacity, is with
out a parallel in the history of /
political trickerT.

oples OF the national banking law, but asking the
repeal OF the section limiting the circulation was
taken up together with!a resolution In favor OF
hasscning the resumption of specie payments.
MIR. j. Ackland, OF Baltimore, urged the re
sumption OF specie payments. An incidental de.
nunciaiioh OF RadIcalism was loudly applaudcd
Mr. Dove, OF Chicago, urged that Congress
authorize onc.thrd or one-halr OF the import
duties to be paid In greenbacEs, and that II
gold to-day Is 122, the Secretary OF the Treasury
advertise that he Will sell gold ON the first of
next month ut one or two cents less, and the first
OF each succeeding month ut one or two cents
less than the month previous. THIS, lie thought,
would do away with the difference OF gold and
currency.
Mr.. opdykc, of New York, thought the safest
way was to carefully maintain the value OF the
currency until the Increase OF industry and COM
merce should bring us to specie payments II we
doubled our currency to-day money would be- I'm
year from this, quite as scarce and prices as
high as now lie thought the currency ought to
be o good one, but II should be equally distrlbu.
ted If the Supreme Court declared the lcea,
tender act unconstitutional, the confidence OF the
people in grccnbacks would, In q month, be as
great as ever.
Mr.. chittcnden, OF New York. said that Mr..
McCullOch's plan, now abandoned, was the only
safe one. Speculation in gold should be stopped
by act OF Congress- There had not been q time

Notwithstanding the show OF legal reserve In the
banks there, he believed n sudden demand for ten
million greenbacks would smash them He be-
leved the government ought to march straight
forward to the establishment Of an honest cur
rency, and every careful man should be getting
ready to meet this action, by curtailing his In.
debtedness. lie believed that from washng gton
next Monday words would be heard indicating
this purpose on the part OF tho government.
Mr. Taylor. Of vt. Paul, advocated special nifty
years. gold loan by the government-thef first mart

lion OF Its notes. lie did not think fifty millions
OF this loan would be used before the government

banks should then be required to redeem their

hr. Thomas, OF Philadelphia, did not think spe-
Gle payment could be resumed until the govern

The House bill to amend an act entitled "An

The completion OF the census he extended to the

some discussion, during which 1t was frequently
asserted that those census takers who had had the
least work to do had accomplished the least, and
the bill was referred to the Finance Committee.
This bill will pass. The s3o.375 saved by the
delay, in not furnishing the con.us books at the

time TO finish their work, as number did, before
