large; but when the question was asked
whether he would probably be molested, the
reply was, NO, nobody wants 20 swing for

seemed TO be intensified by the reports that
be had made money on Wall street by specu-
lations during his imprisonment and by the
reported profits OF his Oil factory, which Fisk
gave TO him and Harry Harley. In regard
10 the first OF these points, the report OF
Stokes Wall street speculations are gener-

THE rRIcE OF corToN.

i
The price of middlipg upland cotton in
New York, twelve mouths ago, averaged
IA 81 cents against 12 cents now. The
causes for this difference are that while the
crop of 1874 reached s,S2s,O09 bales,
that Of ls7s-s has gone up to, 4 900, 900
bsies, ah1inefea5e Of e72, 900 over the former
crop. It must De borne in mind, too, that
both in Europe and in the LATED States,
except, in the Southern States, there has
been mill panic. Hundreds of thousands
Of spindles have been idle. and cotton has
not met with its usual demand. The great
increase in amount7of crop, together with
the falling { Il In demand, thus works a
hardship upon the producer. 1t Is even
doubtful whether the larger crop has
brought dollar more into the South, than
the smaller one, while the former has un-
doubtedlY cost great deal more money to
produce and prepare it for market. 1t is
very NATURAL therefore, that such results
must hereafter call for dimiDution of the
cotton CROP. Tire crop of this year, it Is
thought, will reach 4, 1000, 900 of bales, and
if its production and marketing do not
cost too much, even at the present value OF
cotton and healthy decline in all the ne
cessities of life, together with reform In
public affairs, the South will be vastly ben
efted3 Still, its people have fallen into
great error, and 1t is hard to practically
right them. They plant too much cotton,
and neglect other vital interests for its pro-
duction. We would by NO means advise
them to pitch their crops for a small pro-
ductIon of the staple, for it is to the South
as the seat of vitality to the body. 1t is the
beng of these S. utherD States and the
channels of'Iade would be closed with its
nohproduction. When the cotton crop of
the United States goes beyond four mil
lions of bales, the question of
benefits to the country becomes
problematical, and, the reasons are OBJ
viOus. Less is obtained for it when the
crop is very large, and at the same time it
costs great deal more to produce it. Three
and half millions of bales produced yearly
In the Southern States will keep open the
arteries of trade, and in consequence of
the superiority of our staple it will COM
mand attention and good figures The la
bor to our cntton planters will be less, while
the net remuneration will be greater The
work of making and gathering cotton
crop is laborious, and with decrease in
acreage there Will be left, more time
to devote to other pursuits, many
of which will go towards making
the homes of farmers ten times more at-
tractive, and their labors more remunera-
tive! Let our farmers try these suggestions
aud they will be deTIGRted with the results.

NEW YORK. AL RIGHT.

Hon Lucius Robinson has been nomi-
mated by the Democrats of New York to
take the position declined by Mr.. Seymour,
and the latter becomes elector for the State
at large, Vice Kelly, who has resigned.
These developments were the result of the
reassembling of the convention at Saratoga
ON the thirteenth, and they show that the
utmost harmony between the different
wings of the party in New York has been
established. Mr.. Robinson is a citizen OF the
western portion Of the State, and was
elected State Comptroller on the Til
den ticket. he has proven himself capa-
BILE and honest official, and was no doubt
selected as the strongest man in the State.
He received the next largest vete in the
first session of the State convention at Sar-
atoga, Seymour being first, and the proba-
bility is that he can now command
q greater popular support than any man
in the State. This idea would hold
good when it can be said that
not one fault as q public offer can be
charged against him. And so the muddle
into which the party drifted has proven q
blessing, and it comes out Of it with re-
newed life and stronger than before. Tam
