THE COTTON INDUSTRY OF THE SOUTH

From, the NJ Y. World.
The cotton crop of last year amounted, ac-
cording to the most careful authorities, to
4.1S5, 900 bales, which is considerably in ex-
cess of the average yearly production before
the civil war; At the present price 10 cents
pound the value OF this crsp would be
$25l, ,OO0, 600, a larger sum than was ever
before received by our cotton-growers in
single year.
Whether the planters will devote as many
acres to cotton this year as they did last, is a
mooted question which some of the journals
are discussing, but their data are too coniec-
tural for their reasoning to be Of much value.

the successful Germans Nothing could be
palmer than this. II WAS thought by many
Of the leading Reds that the time had at
length arrived for them to put in force the
doctrines they 80 long cherished. In the
event of the newly elected Legislature not
listening to the measures they had to propose
for the future government Of France it was
resolved that they should quit the Assembly,
repair to Paris, proclaim defiance to the Bor-
deaux government and raise the flag of the
republic in the streets of the capital
The republic, as these men understood
it, was the relaxation of all restraint which
law and order impose and which is neces-
sary for good government. The scenes in
the Assembly in Bordeaux in which Victor
Hugo, Felix Pyat and Henri Rochefort
played conspicuous parts, were but the
shadows of coming events. Day by day 1t
became more and more apparent that nothing
short of two distinct and hostile parties
would be the inevitable result. Aud so it
afterwards proved. Forsaking the National
Assembly the Reds returned to Paris, aud
the red flag of the Commune was shortly
afterwards raised. The slums of Montmartre
and Belleville supplied the nucleus of the
army which was subsequently destined to
disturb, distract, and delay the progress of
reconstruction in France. When the govern
ment chosen by the French nation, and
of which nj. Theirs was the executive
head, arrived in Versailles, he found
Paris in arms arrayed against the republic.
More than this, he felt that a spirit of
resistance to the rightful government of the
oontry existed in many of the large cities.
Marseilles, Lyons, Lille, Amiens, and Havre
we're impregnated with Red Republican senti-
ments. No disturbances of any moment,
however, have broken out in these sections.
Paris alone stands defantly opposed to
France. 1t were well, indeed, for the French
people had the wild leaders of the Commune
failed to awaken the spirit of revolution in
the capital. The nation might even now be
on the road to a successful and prosperous
future. While the republican army and the
Communal troops butcher each other out
side the walls of the city another party
makes its appearance This new element is
known by the name of the Republi-
can League, and its object is to effect
| compromise between the republic and
the Commune to put an end to the existing
strife, and by unity of action on the part
of all three, to resolve to uphold towards
and against all the republican form of gov
eminent, and give it as unshakable basis
Communal liberties in their integrity" This
is all very fine, but we are of the opinion
that the proper way to restore order in France
is to strengthen the Government at Yer
sailles by every means, and help it to crush
the riot which reduces Paris almost to ruin.
This is not the time for parties. Support of
the Government is now tue duty of the hour.
No matter how wise, praiseworthy, or humane
may be the intentions of associations such as
the Republican League, they are out of place
at the present time. There should be nc
compromise when traitors are up in arm:
and when the means to put them down is a.
hand.

MAN DROWNED IN ASHLEY RIvER-INoUEsT.-
Last Saturday morning, a colored man named
Joseph Rogers, with two other men, at
tempted to cross Ashley River in bateau,
from the Magnolia Works, at Mr.. Trenholms
place, to the phosphate works at Lambs farm.
The craft, which was nothing more than an
exaggerated coffin, being thirteen feet long,
one and half feet wide and half foot deep,
began to take In water and sank in the mid
die Of the river. The two other men clung to
the boat, but Rogers struck out for the shore.
he SWAN about fifty yards and then was seen
to sink: His brother was coming behind In q
smsll boat, but before he reached Rogers the
latter sank for the second and last time. The
two other men were flshed up, and search
. was Instituted for the body of the drowned
man. This proved unsuccessful until Monday
morning, when, after much dragging and dis
charging OF guns, 1t rose TO the surface and
was taken ashore. The coroner was notified,
and an inquest was held over the body on
Tuesday evening, at Lambs farm. The jury
returned verdict Of death from accidental
drowning.

THE LAST COTTON CRoP.-The New York
Cotton Exchange and the Financial Chronicle
of that city prepare statements of the receipts
at our domestic ports of the cotton crop dur
ing the period from September l, 1870, to Sep
tember l, 1871. The Exchange gives the total
at 3,s6s, SIT bales, and the Chronicle at 4,0O9,-
SOP. The superintendent Of the Exchange
writes to the papers that as soon as proper es-
Inmates can be made, additions will be made
to the above statement, showing the Quantity
Of cotton consumed in the South during the
year, that which is known to have been lost
or burned, and the shipments direct to North
ern mills. When these figures are added, says
the writer, the entire crop of 1s7O-7l Will be
found to be between 100000 and 100000
bales.

FIRE ALARMs.-The committee appointed BY
the Board of Underwriters at their last meet
ing, consisting OF Messrs. A. L. Tobias, W. B.
Heriet, Hutson Lee and William Thayer, to
wait upon the city authorities and represent
to them the present insufficient system Of fire
alarms, called upon the Mayor yesterday morn
ing and represented to him the increased loss
which had been suffered by the insurance COM
panles at the recent large fires, owing to the
hardness with which the alarm of fire had
been given and rung by the bells. The Mayor
received the deputation with all courtesy, and
mentioning that this fact had already been
netlced by him, promised to do all in spower
to amend the present system. The matter Is
one of serious Importance to the underwrit-
ers, and 1t Is of the highest consequence to
them that alarms of fire should be speedily
communicated to our efficient fire depart
ment. Tine, in this case certainly, is money,
and as the insurance companies pay an enor-
nous tax 10 the city, they are entitled to all
the immunities and safeguards which the au-
thorltIes can throw around their risks.
