Judge A. r. Wright, Of Georgia, who
was examined yesterday before the Ku-
Klux Committee, said II the people
of the South can he made TO believe that
the people Of the North will never retrace
their steps on negro suffrage and will per.

man dominate TO the white race would

they should ever have chance to free
themselves from such state Of things,
but there need be no fears OF further rebel.

the present state Of things grew out of the
excitement and animOsities engendered
by the war, and have an abiding faith in
q return 10 reason which time will serve
to produce, and that the calm sense Of the
country will be eXerted to bring abont a
state Of feeling and fraternity between the
people Of the country which nothing else
will eyer produce and to which the pres.
ent management can never contribute.
II was said to-day that the President

The July returns do not materially
change the cotton crop prospects reported
In June. Severe rain storms have con-
tinued To Obstruct the cultivation and
check Its growth in the States npon the
Gull coast. The States OF Louisiana, Mis-.
sissippl, Alabama and Florida average
the condition of the last report. The
Georgia and Texas averages remain un.
changed, and an improvement il indicated
In the Carolinas, Tennessee and Ar.
kansas, while no estimates can ut
this early date be be made. This lnfor.
nation leads 10 the following conclusions
With reduction Of ID per cent in acreage,
and continuance Of the present relative.
ly low condition, and season as long as
that Of 1870 there should be gathered
crop Of3,900,OO0 bales, or about as large I
as that OF 1862 with season Of average
length, 100000 bales; with early frost,
and very unlavOrable season for picking,
2 200 900 bales; prevalence Of insects with {
other unpropitious circumstances, would
probably reduce the crop TO 100000
bales, and the steady improvement of the
plant for sixty days, with the largest and
most favorable picking season, might car.
ry the aggregate up to 100000 This Is
pronounced as fair statement Of the
range Of probabilities, based upon an OK
tensive and reliable data, and uninhu. /

DR.. Angler, treasurer Of Georgia, in his
statements before the Ku.Klux Commit
ee to-day, presented the facts and figures
against Gov. Bullock, disavowing any
political or partisan views. lie said the
Governor had violated the plain letter Of o
he law In many instances, including the 81
ssuing Of new State bonds, and his effort o
