The Augusta lGeorgia) Constituencies
says:
Mr.. E. A. Burke, of New Orleans, has
been proposed for membership in the State
Democratic Executive Committee. He is
objected to on the ground that he favored
Grant tor third term. Defending himself
he quotes from the New Orleans Picayune
of July Is, 1874, as follows:
General Gordon, the Senator from Geor
gia, and distinguished ex-C Confederate chief
tain, has been interviewed on his return to
his State, and expresses an inclination in
favor of General Grant fer the third term
on the conservative basis"
II General Gordon ever favored Grant for
third term it will be news to Us in Georgia
We do not believe it. Mr.. Burke must try
some other method of proving his title to
Democratic hOnors.

The excessive proportion of the lower
qualities was, ID fact, one OF the most
prominent characteristics of the crop.
which was not only low in standard in the
field, but proved still more unsatisfactory
when ginned from the deteriorating intiu-
ence of wet weather, hurrying the picking.
and much of the crop being beaten to the
ground, and gathered sandy. dirty and
trashy, and stained from hslt-rOtten bolls
and early frosts. But without regard to
the quality of the crop, the trade presented
no encouragement to hope for any improve
ment on the unsatisfactory results OF the
three preceding years. AT the commence
ment of the season the feeling was rather
more hopeful, but the satisfactory business,
reported for awhile at Manchester was
succeeded by general disappointment.
The enormous receipts at the American
ports led to the impression that the OK
tent of the crop had been under-estimated,
4,250,G00 were spoken Of when 1900, 900 had
been counted On, and those WAC had been
regarded as having long crop views: from
their confidently estimating ,25o, 900. raised
their figures, in some cases as high as
1900, 600. Conservative views at the close
of December pointed to $50 900, and sub
sequently rose 10 4 100000, with a posi-
tility of 100, 900 more In the meantime all
speculative feeling had subsidized, or was
confined to operating in futures, which were
D. essed on the market at decline OF led,
and for the whole quarter the prevailing
distrust prevented any more active move
ment than was due to the actual require
ments for consumption.
The Liverpool market was described as
gloomy beyond all precedent. American
had declined sd in December, 50 i in jan
uary, and IS a l2d in February, making an
aggregate reduction for the quarter OF 70
aid. Perhaps the gloomiest period was
toward the close, when the American crop
reports led to the apprehension OF an ex-
cessiva supply, with its disastrous results.
As we have shown above, our own mar
ket WAS governed by the same influence
and exhibited similar features. At the same
time there had been considerable shrink
age in the movement. The sales embraced
%, 800 bales in December, az Ainst l45, 900
in 1874, 2l2 200 in January. against l70, 600
in 1875, and 10000 in February, agsinst
Isl, 800, making al Aggregate of 655, GOO
bales, against 472 500. The gross receipts
were 30I $50 in December, against 292 ,957
in 1874, 296, l29 ia January, against l67 ,26l
in 1875, and 227, l0S in February against
l24,2l7, makingsa total gross Of SIS, 097,
against 594 4S5; while the amount proper
for the three months was 757 ,265 bales,
against 527 1916. The exports for the quar-
ter summed up GIG, 929 bales, Of which 55i,-
S67 were to foreign ports, aud u. O6s coast
wise, the former embracing 32t ,53S to

TIE recent death of Major Dan Scully
leaves a great vacancy in New Orleans

nent merchants OF New Orleans whose
names have gone far and wide, indeed, be-
come household words, there is none more
favorably known than that of Mr.. Louis
Grunewald, owner of the now famed hall
which bears his name, Nos. 16, Is, 20 and %
Bsronne street, near Canal.
This gentleman, known for go many years
to all lovers OF music and the "sweet sounds
of instruments" has done much, not only
for the improvement of the city, but for the
accommodation of the citiz ms of New Or
leans. Formerly, as many will remember,
it was no uncommon thing to have to send
to New York or some other Northern city
for piece of music or musical lnstru-
ment, even when the immediate possession
of the thing was of vital Importance, and
the want of it involved not only disappoint-
ment, but often pecuniary loss. The deal
ers in music here at that time did not think
that their keeping large stock of sheet
or book music, or of stringed or brass in
struments would pay" if such things were
needed, why, sit was easy ordering them,"
and at the most it was only "a few days of
waiting for the customer" Mr.. Grunewald
thought differently. and acted on his con.
victions. He kept all that was or could
be required constantly on hand, q
good, fresh, large and we'll selected
stock, and the correctness Of his
liberal business ideas was soon proved
by his unbounded popularity and un-
unprecedented success. Then people began
to say, not "send to the North, but Ego to
Grunewald," and it soon became unfash-
ionable to order pianos, etc., from abroad.
1t was and still continues to be 1.-THE rage"
to buy from Grunewald. All this popular
ity is but the well-earned result of ju-
dicious business enterprise, unwearying at.
tention to even the most uninviting details
of the trade, and unfailing courtesy and re-
tinement to customers. 1t is rule with
Mr.. Grunewald that all who trade with
him be treated with equal distinction,
whether they buy fve-cent sheet of music
or q $500 piano. Politeness is the rule of
the house, as all will testify who have ever
visited the establishment Mr.. Grunewald is
in its strictest sense cash buyer, his ample
means enabling him to forward the check"
with every order, whether small or large.
This of course gives him many advantages.
The power of ready money is acknowledged
everywhere, and nowhere to greater de-
gree than among manufacturers, who are
never slow to give the order which is &C
companied by the cash a decided prefer
ence to the one payable on time. The re-
suit of this is, that at Mr.. Grunewald q
| everything is sold at the very lowest rates,
and that the public find it so is shown by the
crowds of purchasers who daily throng his
stores and waIerOOms.

JOHNSON WORKINGMEN's CAMPAIGN CLUB
OF THE SEVENTH WARD.-The Republicans
of the Seventh ward organized campaign
club at Brownies Hall on Wednesday eve
ming, and as compliment to Auditor John
son, gave it the name of the johnson Work
ingmen's Campaign Club, of the seventh
ward. There were about 300 of the real
bone and sinew of the seventh ward who
enrolled their names. The organization is
to have uniform. and bids fair to become
one Of the best political campaign organiza-
tions in the parish. John Barrow was
elected president, William H. Green secre-
tary, C. w. Bcothby treasurer, and c. j.
Adolph grand marshal. These with all the
subordinate officers were elected by a
unanimous vote-in fact the acme OF unity
seems to have been reached in the old
seventh. Mr.. Barrow gave utterance to
telling speech upon taking his seat as pres
ident. Captain Peter Joseph made also
few good points on the Democracy.

In accordance with the custom of the

by single quotation. For the same reason
we have continued to present the interme-
date grades of strict ordinary, strict good
ordinary, strict low middling and strict

satisfied their voracious appetites, they
failed to call for their BILL but walked Oft
as if nothing had happened. McGarrigan
and Barry were soon afterward arrested, in
consequence Of their having violently op-
posed the walters in their attempts to Sc
cure their payment. One Of the accused
drew q revolver, but the restaurant men
were too lively for him, and took the wea
pom out of his hand. McGArrigan and

SAVINGS BANKS. - The depression on
every hand of Industry during the past
four years has brought forcibly to the
minds of all the maxim, "Save for rainy
day." And we may add that the cenvic-
ton has come that the only sure method OF
becoming Independent is to look to small
amounts; hence the popularity of savings
banks. Through their aid the laboring
man and seemingly helpless woman may
lay up, little by little, a succor for time
Of stagnation or sickness. New Orleans,
among her many good and reliable lnstitu-
tons, may justly feel an especial price in
her savings banks, prominent among
which is the Citizens Savings Bank, in the
Grunewald building, on Baronne street,
near Canal, which, from its very in
auguration, has deservedly held a place
of high trust in the confidence of
our people. Differed by men of the
best business capacity and unIues-
tionable integrity, all old residents of the
city, and interested in its prosperity, the
depositor feels that his savings will be Sc
cure and his interest certain, while he is
always cure of being treated with that
courtesy which cultured and refined
gentlemen alone observe in business
transactions. The smallest sum is taken on
the same advantageous terms as tho largest.
The bank is kept open at hours to suit the
convenience of every one, and on Saturday
| nights still later, SO that the laborer and
mechanic may be accommodated at the
time they can best spare to make their
| weekly installments, and every facility and
inducement offered to the public to "save a
little at q time and get rich" Wisdom
commends saving of little things, and ex-
perience proves that in this country, at
least, millionares have been made, not by
hereditary rights, nor sudden gifts of for.
tune, but by industry and the persevering
saving of small sums. Astor eaid, after he
| b i'd sared the first hundred dollars the bal
ance of his immense fortune came easily
enough. Gerard, Stewart, and even the
great and all-powerful money kings. the
Rothchilds, laid the foundation of their
immense wealth by systematic and per
| severing laying aside of small sums. A
wise appreciation of the old Scotch saying,
MANY Titles make a mickle."

vs.. the pretended silk stockings of the same

candidate in the field, the Independents de-
dining to put up man or take part in the
election. 1t is quite unnecessary to state
that Mr.. Fitzpatrick received tie largest

THE CITY STREET RA1LRoADs.-Some OF
the drivers on the St. Charles street Carroll
ton line should be presented with double
back action whip, one that will act like a
boomerang, inflicting more injury on the
owner than on anybody else. They are
perfectly willing to stop when hailed, but
find it convenient to keep straight on their
course instead of slowing up. The drivers
on the Carondelet street line are generally
very clever and obliging, excepting when q
passenger requests them to hurry up a
trihe. Nothing offends them so much as q
demand to make little haste. Jehu, when
it is suggested that the trot is altogether
too slow, turns around and frowns as If the
passenger intended to break up the COM
pany, and is very prompt in saying that his
instructions are to keep at least one entire
square behind the car in front OF him, no
matter if nothing is in sight. The Pry-
tania street line is no better. True, times
are duh and the income is small, but the
few who do ride and pay would like to have
a little acc ommodatiOn.
