The Cotton Movement.

The New York Financial Chronicle has
returns from the Southern ports showingthe
receipts, exports, etc, of cotton for the
week ending May 81. From the figures
thus obtained it appears that the total
receipts for the seven days have reached
1917 bales against 12,0S3 bales last
week, Is, 1877 bales the previous week, and
1929 bales three weeks since, making the
total receipts since the first of September,
1871, 1868, 235 bales against 8, 792, 269 bales
for the same period of 1901, showing a
decrease since Sept. this year of l ,139,034
bales. The exports for the week ending
same date reach a total of 22,697 bales, of
which II ,664 were to Great Britain, 3,033
to France, and 2, 900 to rest of the CONT
nent, while the stocks as made up are now
1886 bales. Compared with the cores
ponding week of last season, there is a de-
crease in the exports this week of 25, 195
bales, while the stocks are 74623 bales less
than they were at this time a year ago.
We copy from the Chronicle as follows:
BOMBAY STANDARDIZATION ding to our

is a decrease this year in the weeks ship

original Thoughts fasnifsst, and forcibly pat
throughout the address. a Universal sub
ject Of regret with the adfence was the fact
that Col. Allen was compelled by severe in
disposition to cit short bis address.
Rev. DR.. Ellis was next introduced, who
gave Us an eloquent, soul-stirTing speech,
evincing strongly that his own soul was
stirred with ?hiauthropic fire to further the
Gauss. The statistics given by Rev. Mr..
Ellis were fuli Of interest--indeed some Of
them astounding, as in the fact that in the
New York Asylum for Inebriates, there are
1900 rich mems children; $40 ministers of
the gospel; 226 doctors; s judges, and law
yers innumerable. DIR. Ellis closed with q
most eloquent appeal in behalf Of the 'sglo-
rious cause"
The next speaker was Rev. ]. c. Arm
strong, Principal of CIoverdale Academy,
and formerly United States Minister to
Turkey, who gave us temperance speech,
also bounding In original and striking
points; his style augumentative and logical,
not to be resisted, and it is to be regretted
that the audience was not the whole people
of the county, that they might all have be-
came wSons of Temperance as of Dickson,
as well. After the close Of Rev. Mr.. Arm
strong's remarks, DR.. E. Deason was called
out and favored us with humorous but
telling speech. He, after strong
appeal to young men to
make the cause their own, to
let it be written in their hearts; making it
their object to visit the novels of drunken
ness as missionaries, and relating some lu-
dicrous and appropriate anecdotes, made in
Conclusion a czll for mourners, which was
happily responded to in the accession of
quite number of names to the lists of the
noble Order.
POLITICS.
We are pleased to observe that the De-
mocracy of cid Dickson are all right for
Greeley and Brown, and are still, as ever,
hearty supporters of the "Old Reliable"
THE OIL INTEREST.
In conclusion we would fain venture
prediction in relation to the oil interest of
Dickson county. Although constrained by
the wishes of parties concerned, to make
but little note of it as yet, still from obser-
walton and conversation with practical gen.
tlemen now prospecting, we are strong in
the faith that oil does abound in paying
quantities and is yet destined to become an
immense interest in Dickson.
THE CROPS.
We are pleased to note that the crops of
Dickson are looking remarkably well, espe-
cially the wheat and fruit crops, and to hear
hiatt all the crops Of that section are said to
be promising. S,

JUSTICE In THE NUTMEG STATE.

In New Haven, on Thursday morning, a
very singular case was tried before the SUI
preme Court. 1t was the case of Frank
Beane, 16-year old boy, who had been
imprisoned for the last fifteen months,
awaiting trial on the very grave charge of
placing distractions on the Naugatuck rail-
road track, near Beacon Falls. ALI the wit
nesses for the State testified positively that
the lad took off an obstruction from the
track, thereby saving an approaching train
with its living freight from injury. The
jury, after very few minutes deliberation,
returned verdict of not guilty, and the
boy was discharged.
As there is no provision by statute for
recompense in such case, the accused
himself must bear the whole burden of his
long Imprisonment, the imputation on his
character, and the bitter consciousness of
suffering for well-doing. In view of this,
there were those who went SO far as to adj
wise suing the railroad company for dam
ages. But the main fault seems to lie else
where than in the company, though there
was laundering all around. The magistrate
before whom Beane had bis preliminary ex-
animation was in error in binding him over
for trial. He did it in the face ofthe earnest
protestation of member of the bar who
was present.
