Yesterday afternoon added nearly an inch

However cramped the planters in the cot
ton States may be at present, the Savannah,
Georgia, Republican says 1t is convinced,
from all the information it can gather, that
their prospects are really better than they
ticipates that they will realize more money
and comfort from the growing crops than
any year in the past five, because the pro-
vision crop will be much larger than usual,
and the cotton crop, the proceeds OF which
will be fully million bales less than last
year, will be money in hand. 1t also thinks
the planters have, by bitter experience,
learned economy, and in regulating. their
plantation expenses, have based their cal
culations on the minimum and not on the
maximum price of the staple.

CONFIDENCE MEN.-That class of chera-
liers d'i1.dushie known as confidence men
most abound about hotels and places where
strangers to the city visit. They have the
manners of gentleman, seem to be well
brought up, and have a way about them
that wins the confidence of their victims,
from which habit they get their title. Re-
cent instances of robberies of strangers
should be additional warnings to all who
have money in their purse not to expose
themselves to such losses by yielding to ap-
proaches made by those who manifest an
anxiety to scrape an acquaintance.
Sometimes there are two who play upon
the sympathy of new arrival by intro
ducing themselves as father and son who
are obliged to pay the interest on lottery
prize, for example, to third party, and
who call upon the new man to advance the
money, which he readily does. Sometimes
thev are cattle drovers from Texas, or
planters from Adams county, Mississippi,
or merchants doing a large business in
other cities. But the upshot of all these
entertaining episodes is, the victim is
robbed OF his money, and the loss is none
the less heavier because he parted with it
of his own accord. A little wariness would
save a great deal of annoyance, and would
let up on the whole confidence system.

ALL ABOUT A Cow.-The Bulletin OF yes
terday, with the peculiar taste for fault
finding which distinguishes that print,
spreads out upon case of ''outrage on
citizen" The "cows of an old lady, re
siding in the overfowed district, were i'm
pounded by the police" The outraged
citizen accompanied the old lady to pro-
cure the release of the cows, and when at
the pound relieved his feelings by abusing
the officers. The Outrage" consisted IN
warning the citizen to desist from abuse,
and finally arresting him when he per-
sisted There is little doubt that the COWS
were confined in consequence Of an order
of the authorities to take the wandering
cattle belonging to people in the overtiowed
district, and feed them at the public ex-
pense. But under no circumstances can
abuse of the police when doing a duty be
justified by law or the rules of courtesy.
