Com merce OF the south.

On the 1st of September of each year the
newspapers in the cotton States regularly
publish an elaborate review Of the trade of
their respective cities. We have before us
these annual reports for New Orleans,
Charleston, Savannah and Memphis, the
four leading centres of the cotton
trade. We suppose the reason why
the 1st of September is selected for
these elaborate annual reviews is that.
more nearly than any other date, it
marks the beginning of the cotton
trade in the new crop. A few scatter
ing bales or few hundred bales are
received during the latter half of the month
of August, and on the 1st of September the
new season is regarded as having fairly
opened These annual reviews include not
only cotton, the chief staple, but sugar.
rice, tobacco grain, provisions, fruits and
all the articles which make up the mass
of Southern trade. They are valuable
collections of statistics, for they give in
exact figures all the receipts and shipments
of the preceding year, with tables showing
the increase or decrease in each article in
this careful array Of statistics these reviews
discuss the causes which have affected trade
and speculate with more or less intelli-
gence on the prospects of the opening year.
These reports and speculations are of pc
culiar interest now, because the South is
entering on new era By the wise policy
Of President Hayes an end has been put to
the exciting political controversies which
have kept that section in state of turmoil
since the war. There is no longer anything
to disturb its tranquility or obstruct its
material development. We accordingly
find q tone of hopefulness and confidence
in all these reports.
The review Of the business of the last year
shows decline in the cotton trade, owing
to somewhat shorter crop than in the year
which preceded The cotton trade of
Charleston, however, has increased by about
fifty thousand bales, while that Of New Or
leans, Savannah and Memphis has consider
ably declined. This is accounted for by an
increasing tendency to send cotton to the
Atlantic seaboard by rail instead of ship
ping it by the Mississippi River, and
Charleston is better situated than Savannah
for the railway traffic. The business of the
latter city, however, was impaired by the
alarming epidemic which prevailed in
the height Of the cotton season. Savan-
nah is very enterprising city and
does not despair of becoming again
what she once was-the second cotton
exporting city in the South, New Orleans,
of course, being the first At present
Charleston is ahead of her. The statistics
of cotton production since the war have an
interesting bearing on the success Of the
new labor system in the South. We insert
q statement of the crops for the last twelve

licans, but they have an equivalent in the
fact that the dead statesman may yet stand
in the light of a martyr to his opinions.
For some months past he has been very
grossly used by the party that supports the
government and urges it to illegal measures.
He has been Indignantly lampooned by its
journals, and the authorities have even ap-
piled to his house q vile system of police
espionage. 1t will not be possible to pre-
vent the opinion that this kind of rigor
helped to destroy his life, and that sentiment
may still make his name an incalculable
force. 1t will be seen by our dispatches
that the government takes unusual steps to
do honor to the great citizen. 1t does not
honor him beyond his merit, nor beyond
what his services to his country i'll the
great confusion at the close of the war with
Germany fully justify. But its conduct is
so strikingly in contrast with the tone its
friends have lately held toward M. Thiers
that it has the appearance Of an over anxiety
to do tardy justice to man grossly wronged
of late by its connivance.
The New York herald., 1877-09-05
Social Science Convention.

The American Social Science Association,
now in session at Saratoga, will discuss some
of the most interesting practical questions
of the period The plan of the meeting, as
we understand it, is to listen to carefully
prepared essays on subjects previously as
signed to distinguished specialists, and after
the reading of each to hold general debate
on the views presented, in which all who
choose are allowed to participate. The pa
per which excites most expectation is that
on the silver question by Professor
Jevons, distinguished political economist
Of England. John d. Townsend, of this
city. is to read a paper on savings banks Z.
L. Hale, Of Boston, one on tramps ex-Gov-
ernor Hoffman, one on municipal govern
ments; Congressman Tucker, ofVirginia, one
on the modification Of our institutions by the
war Horace White, one on the tariff ques-
ton. We notice these as examples of the
kind Of topics that are to receive attention ;
they are mere specimens and not cata-
logue. The meeting was opened last even
ing by an address from Mr.. David A. Wells,
the President of the association.
The New York herald., 1877-09-05
The First Aid for the Sufferers.

The Hon. John Morrissey yesterday tele-
graphed from Saratoga to the HERALD to
draw on him for two hundred and fifty dol
lars the sum to be applied to the relief of
the sufferers by the late fire in this city.
The promptness OF this generous act gives
it additional value, for now is the time
when the unfortunate persons whose homes
and property were suddenly destroyed are in
most need OF assistance. In all cases of the
kind those who give should give quickly and
help to relieve on the instant distress which
cannot afford to wait. Not merely for the
amount of his contribution, but for the
manner in which it was given will Mr. Nor
rissey receive the gratitude of homeless and
destitute families; his money will supply
their necessities, which are pressing and
great, and in the meanwhile methods may
be devised to provide for future wants. He
giveth twice who giveth quickly, and the
example Of Mr.. Morrissey in this respect is
so excellent that we hope it will result in
the collection of large and sufficient fund
within the next few days.
The New York herald., 1877-09-05
The Russian Advance.

Our speculations as to how long the Rus
sian commander in Bulgaria would stand
still while the Ottomans wove nets of STRAIT
egy about him are promptly answered by
the intelligence that an important forward
movement Of the Russians for the purpose
of clearing their right flank was begun on
Monday. On Thursday last Osman Pacha
ventured out Of his stronghold ut Plevna
and felt the Russian lines at Pelischat 1t
was an unpropitious day for him, and in his
attempt to carry the position he was repulsed
with severe loss !; bat his movement was well
timed if it was made upon information
that the Russians were about to advance
and in the hope that the precipitation of u
combat would derange their preparations.
An advance from the Russian lines on
Osman Pacha's front has been imminent for
many days; and since Suleiman Pacha's
failure to storm the Shipka Pass and the
sudden arrest Of Mehemet Ali on the LON
the hands of the Russian commander on the
Osem have been especially free for a move
ment in ample force against the obstinate
author Of the Russian defeat Of July 81. The
disorder into which the bloody repulse Of
Thursday last threw part of Osman Pachas
army was an additional advantage to the
advance. All the facts, therefore, were in
its favor, and the success with which it has
been made so far as reported was only what
was to be nationally counted upon. There
could be no doubt on the part of the Rus
sian staff what force was on their right
flank, and thus there was no opportunity
for new bluuder as to the numbers it
was necessary to use in order to equalize
an attacking force with the force be-
hind the defences. From the report of
simultaneous assaults at Lovatz and at
Plevna it appears that the Turkish line has
been stretched to cover very extensive
front, and it follows that it is weak every
where. 1t will, therefore, we believe, be
crushed in this encounter by the Russian
strength, and the right flank of the invad-
ing army will be freed from the menace that
has arrested all onward movement for
month. That month gained for his coun-
try has been the important service done by
Osman Pacha, and has added greatly to the
chance of getting through the season safely.
But it is apparently believed in England
that the Russians will now be able to 90 on,
as the cry for mediation is raised with some
yigor.
