THE Ku-KLUx COMMITTEE.
Judge A. X. Wright, of Gcorgi Who
was examined yesterday before tie ku-
klux cnmmittee, said: "If the people of
the south can DO made to believe that the
people north will never retrace their steps
on negro suffrage and will perpetuate
their efforts TO make black men domins ate
over the white race, would not stand Sc
curity for the people Of the south If they
should ever have a chance to free them
| selves from such state Of things bu.
there need be no fear of further rebellion.
The southern people beleave the pres
ent state Of things grows out Of the excite
ment and animosities engendered by the
war, and have an abiding faith in the
return of reasoI, which time
will be sure TO produce, and that the calm
sense Of the country will bo exerted TO
bring about feeling of peace and fratcr-
nifty between the people which nothing
else will ever produce, and 10 which the
present manae ement can never contribute.
DR.. -, treasurer Of Georgia, in his
statements before the ku-klux committee
to-day, presented facts and figures again It
Governor Bullock.
He said the governor had violated the
plain letter Of the law in many cases, in
cluding the issuing Of the new state bonds,
and his efforts TO conceal the amount and
his disposition Of them.
The witness said he knew nothing Of the
ku-klry except from rumors and newspa-
per reporters, never having to his knowl-
| edge seen one. He thought that lawless-
ness had exhibited itself in some sections
Of Georgia as it did at times in every
ststs and always prot ably woull.
He could not say how far it had been
political, but concluded it was such in some
sections, aud men, both white and black,
were now making use Of disguises for pri-
vate gain and personal revenge. He re-
are ss peaceable as the are with such cor
ruptions and terrible plundering { , has
been in that state.
Over three hundred pardons have been
granted by the governor; large PORTION
Of them for murder, and in some cases
they we're pardoned before trial. ...
There Is no sush thing as genera Dis
| turbance and never has been. s..
Many negroes and whites are ind 'cted,
and this he's caused disturbance in some
| locations.
! Ir Individual accounts are true, there
| 10 q terrible condition Of afffirs in the
neigborhoods. He thought, however
that the pictures were overdrswn, as they
have been proved to be in most cases anc
in some entirely false. injured and inter
ested parties were apt to give large &C
counts, and with unprincipaled men this
was cheap and convenient way Of max
ing political capital. g.
He thought the state courts were suff
] cient 10 restrain lawlessness if the govern.
or would cease his wholesale pardoning
He said the rights Of the negroes are safer
in the hands Of intelligent white Jurors
than colored jurors. '.' s.
1t issaid to-day that the president will
not returnto Washington till after his Wis.
it to California, unless something Of i'm.
portsnce should require him here. 1t j:
also stated that he may not go to Cincin.

rI.yl,, THE COTTON CRop.
Tho July returns do not material y
change the cotton crop prospects reported
ir june.
Severe rain storms have continued to OBJ
| struct cultivation and check the growth
in the states upon the gulf coast.
III MISSISSIPPI, ALABAMA AND LOUISIANA
the average Is lower in condition than at
the dhte Of the last report. ...
THE GEORGIA AND TEXAS
averages remain unchanged and an I'm
provement is indicated in South Carolina
| Tennessee and Arkansas, while no esti-
mates can at this early date be made.
This information leads to the following
conclusion, with.ths reduction of IA per
cent: In tho average continuance of tho
| season is as long as that Of 1870 there
should be gathered q crop of s,2OO, 900
bales or aloat as large as that of 1869 ;
with season of average length 100000; |;
with early frost and very unfavorable sea-
son for packing 2,700, 900 bales.
The prevalence of insects with other inn
| providential circumstances would probably
reduce tho crop to $500, 900 bales.
This is presented as a fair statement Of
the range and probabilities and is unln-
Aucnced by clamorous spectators in cot
ton exchange.
1t is now believed that Cochiz, the great
| Apache war chief, who has refused several
invitations to visit Washington, will be
hero before many weeks, though at what
precise time IL not stated
Tho authorities seem anxious that this
notorious Indian warrior shall have an
opportunity ~ ststs his grlevances in per
Son to the officials here. -.
