profits realized by the cotton factories
of tho South during the past two
years. These profits arc unexampled,
yet they are by no means accidental,
but, on tho contrary, the natural fruit
Of o condition of trade and finance
Just comingto maturity and producing
it's fruit, today in ono direction, TO-
morrow in another. These observa-
tions of course refer to tho future and
to the general course Of events. For
the time being, tho prico of cotton
must depend upon the activity or in
activity of speculation. So much is
this tho case that people have no pa.
tience with legitimate trade. When
an articlc'is left to legitimate demand
and supply, nearly everybody tires Of
il and wants to get out of it. How
long the present relaxation may con.
tinuc in the cotton market it is impos.
siblo to predict. The excited upward
movement commenced more than O
month ago, and continued until the
shorts werc all tortured into covering
On the same principle, suppose tho
speculative long holders must be tor,
tured out of their holdings. That is
tho usual course in such fluctuations

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

From the following paragraph in
tho Columbia Union, it appears that
the various Republican County Con-
ventions for nominating candidates
can only be held after tho meeting OF
the State Convention, to be held on
the 2lst August:
ut will be seen upon reference to
the "ca,l" that ucithor the congrcs-
sional, no the county conventions car
be called until after tho State CCn.
vcntion next August. This is as it
should be, and we hope tho various
counties will now so to work and
discuss this matter freely, resolving
that for each convention, State, con-
gressional, and eoEnty, there shall be
a different set Of delegates. Lct it be
understood By all that that the pres.
cnt county chairman, and tho chair
man of The respective congressional
districts have no power to call con-
veltions iii their respective districts,
f6r any other purpose than to select
deleeat.s 5 to the State Convention
which meets August 2lst. They
cannot cannot call q convention to
to nominate county officers, members
If the Legislature, or member OF
Congress. The duty is imposed upon
the chairman of the various counties
and congressional districts to be
elected by the convention in August.

FOR TIE WEEK ENDING THURSDAY,
JULY 4, 1872.
TIE CRops.-Thc intelligence in ref
erence to the growing crop las been,. to
q great extent, favorable, with rather
too much dry weather in some districts
and full supply Of rail- in others, but
up to this the growth, as u Whole, un-
dOubtedly keeps very promising The
corn crop has suffered inmany localities
from long spell Of dry weather, pro.ll-
cling almost q failure in limited neigh
borhoods, while in other places su1ii-
cicnt water las been had to develop the
grain. Tie lower portions Of the rivers
in this State are becoming salt, and as
the Ieriod is near wien planters will
have to put fresh flow on the rice, this
crop in the lower part of the streams is
threatened with serious injury or total
loss, unless good rains arc speedily OBJ
tanned.
TIE IsEcE1PTs.-The arrivals at the
cotton ports for the week up to Friday
last were 1915 bales, against SIT balcs
the week before, and Is, 107 bales for the
time last year. At New Orleans the
supplies were 32G bales, in contrast with
5,202 bales for the corresponding period
tie year previous. The total receipts at
the cotton ports from September lst,
1871, I'D to tile latest dates, were 9, ,6SS, ,OS6
bales, againt 3,9l4,732 tile year before
showing adcorcase of 1,226,64G bales.

THE COURSE OF COTTON.
A New York View of the Prospective
Price OF the Staple.

Z. J. Donnell, tho New York cotton
broker, in his circular, issued on the
I'd inst, says:
Just now speculation is almost
wholly suspended. Last season, The
amount Of cotton aloat for Europe
continued large all summer; this sea-
son, it is certain it will dwindle down
to nero trife. In fact, nearly all
tho supply Europe can expect in the
next four months is now in sight.
The three to four hundred thousand
bales Of useless cotton held in Liver
pool aud London arc counted Us stock
and, for the moment, because people
arc in the mood. To 500 cxternals only,
they have & great moral effect. The
mood will change and then it will be
viewed differently.
One Ching seems TO be admitted on
all hands: wo will commence The next
season with q very scant supply of
American cotton everywhere. The
state Of opinion in Liverpool as to The
future is Shown by sale reported to-
day, even in tho present depressed
condition of that market, Of Orleans,
for September delivery, at lid.
At tho same time, it is quito natu-
raj that our Southern friends should
bc free sellers of the growing crop,
aftsr tho many disappointments they
have had. think they do not COM
prchcnd tho era of expansion in which
We arc living, and which seems to me
to be only in it's commencement.
There are certainly no signs OF it's
having eliminated, or even having
arrived anywhere near it's culmina-
tion. Whatever pauscs or temporary
reaction may tako place, it is morally
certain that We ore to have more than
one year yot of great activity and still
higher prices in most articles OF trade
and speculation. In Northern Gcor-
gia. at tho present time, pig iron that
cost S17 per ton, put on the railroad
cars, sells freely in Cincinnati at $50
per ton; cost Of transportation SO per
ton. Ofa the productions Of human
industry, there is none so true an in
dcx to tho condition of trade as iron.
This is my reason for mentioning tho
above fact, and also because it is in
the immediate neighborhood Of the
cotton planters, and probably known
to very Rew Of them. There is anoth-
cr fact with which they arc probably
more familiar; I mean tho enormous

REPUBLICAN, MEETINe.-A council OF
the Brotherhood was organized at Bor-
deaux on Friday night last, and a public
meeting held on Saturday, which was
addressed by Messrs. Hollinshead, L. P.
Guffin, Finley and others. There were
present about one hundred blacks, con-
sisting largely of the female persuasion,
and q few whites. For its size, the
meeting was rather enthusiastic. The
blacks vf Bordeaux township are good
workers, and very polite and orderly,
but "dyed in the wool" Republicans.
Some of them are aspirants for Office, and
are disposed to press the claims of Bor-
deaux for "place in the picture"

POLITICS IN TIE BRADLEY NEIGH
BoErocD,-Esq. Alecl McCaslan i'll
iorrls lis that politics, especially of the
E.epublican sort, are at discount neai
the Bradley Precinct. The blacks have
been better employed than in Attending
Republican nIeetings and forming Coun-
c;ls of the brotherhood. They have
been and are now hard at work cuitivat-
ing their fields, and furnish but little OF
the raw material for Republican can
vas. No Council Of the Brotherhood
has been established there, and none
likely will be.
