THE PRESS ON THE MESSAGE.


The inaugural message of Governor
Kemper has elected the warmest express
sions of approval and admiration from ev-
cry quarter. Even the estate Journal"
(Repusolican) praises it heartily. The ibis
patch" approves all of it, except the pas
sage on interest. The ''Whig" says the
message would have reflected credit on
the Governors most distinguished preoe--
cessors; and the Enquirer endorses the
message, except in some minor particu-
lars. The Lynchhurg ARepublican'' calls
it an excellent State paper; the Virgin
ian" terms it moderate, conciliatory, wise,
and judicious, 8on the whole an admirable
paper;;" and the 'News" remarks, 1--WE
cordially endorse it in all its parts.'' The
Norfolk ''Virginian' says the message is
handsomely phrased, and contains much
that is suggestive; and and the Landmark,
is encouraged after reading y e feel thor

The closing paragraph of reinsurance to
the Legislature winds up with this SEN

Governors heart: ''And my profoundest
desires, my sole ambition, win be accom-
plished in the glory Of the Common
wealth.

narrow escape which he had made, yet the

EDUCATION OF THE NEGROES

Governor Kemper depicts the hardship Of
imposing that upon us with our reduced
sources Of taxation. Yet this burden had
been promptly borne. He adduces this
fact to show how peculiarly unwise and
cruel would be any measure of the Federal
Government forcing us to establish mixed
schools. 1t would, he declares, ''prove
quickly destructive OF the educational sys-
tenn of the State.

The message concludes with various
special recommendations as revising
the oyster laac; a faced rate Of interest; the
speedy payment Of the se1ni-annual interest
on the public debt; a revisal of the inanai-
grafton system; of the uolauateer organiza-
ton; an appropriation for the State Board
of Health; some measures to be taken to
make the penitentidry self-sustaining and
for avoiding conflict between the labor Of
the convicts and the deserving mechanics;
the abolition Of the office Of aid-de-canp to
the Governor; the abolition Of the office of
superintendent of public buildings and devol-
wing its s duties upon the Adjatant Gene;
close scrutiny of the public offices with a
view to purging them Of all unnecessary
officers and employees"

In the Ne,g Orleans PicdytHie of the 18th
inst. We find the following interesting sta
tisticS concerning the cotton movement:
With all the information attainable by
means Of the telegraph, the newspapers, and
correspondence, the production of cotton
each year is as doubtful rs ever. As a ba-
sis of calculation, the commercial world
first takes the area planted. as estimated
from the best data atlainable. When this
is passed, the weather becomes an impOr-
tant element. Then diseases ard pests
come into the calculation, and finally the
character of the picking season and the
comparative yield of the plants are to be
considered.
All these elements are scarcely suScepti-
BILE of exact analysis, and hence the extent
of the crop is undermined even when the
last bale is picked After that time the
movement of the crop from the interior TO
the seabOard is closely watched, and esti-
mates fluctuate as the weekly receipts are
large OF small.
Ii is evident, however, that this is a ve;y
deceptive method of estimating the yield,
Tor various causes may retard or hasten
shipments to the Seab0ard. \ small crop
will, Of course. move to market more rapid
" than large one, transportation facilities
being the same. Low prices may cause
planters to hold back their cotton, or high
prices may attract supplies. Navigation on
the lower tributaries determines the ship
ments from large sections of the cotton
growing States. An estimate drawn from
what is left in the country, Therefore, from
that which has come out during the first six
months of the season, or say before the mid
die of March, is fallaciOuS.
Up to Saturday night the receipts of the
staple since Sept. at all the United States
ports We're as follows:

bales. Compared with last year there is a
decrease of 1900 bales this year in the

period of 1873.

The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville COUFieT-JOTnGi writes, Jan. 10:
This being bill day. great variety of propo-
sitions were brought before the House Of
Representatives. One of these, offered by
Mr.. Wilson, was the event of the dav. IL
asserted distinctly that the present depreS-
sion of business was due TO a lack of cur
rcncy; that no additional taxation was
needed. but that there should be an in
crease of the circulating medium. The
Committee on Banking and Currency were
directed TO report such a measure without
DELAY. The motion to suspend rules and
pass this resolution brought the House to
the square issue OF imitation or contraction.
The result was 4 large majority for eXpan-
sion; but rs the vote was 135 to 9S, not
two-thiris, the resolution did not pass.
The Eastern members, and notably those
from Massachusetts, generally voted no;
but there were some striking exceptions,
including Kelley, killinger and Negley, of
PENNSYLVANIA, and some of the New York
members. The South and West largely
voted for expansion; but there were
numerous exceptions, namely: Beck, Dur
ham and Niilliken, Of Kentucky; KasSOn,
of Iowa, Eldridge, Of Wisconsin,; Maynard,
of Tennessee; Garfield and Banning, of
Ohio, and NesInith, Of Oregon. Whatever
may be the action of the House on this
question, it is conceded to-day that the
Senate will.be nearly certain to reject any
measure in the nature OF an expansion of
the currency.
