WHAT THE COTTON CROP
 COSTS THE SOUTH.
Figures that Show an Enormous
 LOSS.

We find tue following letter in the Daily Gazette, and we regard the of sufficient interest to the people of our section of the country to justify us in reproducing the alti cle in the DEMOCRAT.
 We may cry ourselves hoarse in financial policy on the part of the government that will give us greater sufiiciency of the circu- lating medium, but if we would pros per we must not depend on an infla- tion of our currency alone. We readily grant that the country de- mands more money and that the general government should supply this demand, but if we had five times the present volume of currency in circulation we would remain just as destitute of money IN THE SOUTH, as we now are, IT WE DO NOT CHANCE OUR TACTICS. The government may lnhate the currency, but it can never make money plenty in section of country where the chef product put upon the market costs . dollar and twelve and half cents for every dollars worth produced.
 Manufactories is what we want. It IS in manufacturing that the profit is made. To supply ourselves with manufactured fabrcs and imple- ments keeps our country constantly dreamed. We must commence using our own raw material, employing our labor here at home and keep our money at home:
 WEATHERToaD, TEX, Dec. 2l, '78.
 EDITORS GAZETTE: Having read with interest an article in ycur issue of the 9th inst. on the cost of pro ducing cotton, and being interested in the welfare of the producing classes of the South, 1 ask space in your valuable paper for few words upon the same subject.
 It is not to be denied that all the wealth of country is derived, either directly or indirectly, from the soil. The prosperity oi nation is in proportion to that of it's pro ducers. If the producer prospers, every otEer vocation prospers. Then it is matter of interest to all that the producer receives paying prices tor every crop he cu!tivates.
 IT the people of the south wish to accumulate wealth and make them selves prosperous and independent people, they must stop planting so much cotton, which is actually in volving the planters twenty four million dollars annually, more than they receive for their entire crop.
 To show this fact we take the fig ures Of your correspondent "G," and the estimates made by Latham, A exander & Co.,, of New York, in their annual report. They estimate the crop of l87S-'79 as follows: Mum Der of acres planted, l2.240,000, number of bales made, 5,0OO,000, average weight per bale, AZ pound bales per acre, 0.4Oi,
 Upon these estimates we make the following calculations.

FOUR PER CENTS.
A CIRCULAR FROM SHERMAN.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The following
circular was issued this afternoon: ssTreas-
ury department., secretary's Office, Wash
ington, D. c., April l6, 1S79.-The secretary
of the treasury offers at one-half of one per
cent. above par and accrued interest to date
of subscriptions, $3.50, 1000, 900 of the per
cent. funded loans of the United States, in
denominations, viz: Coupon bonds of $50,
300, $500 and 81 700, and registered bonds
of $50, 800, $500, 81, 900, $4,000 and $1O,-
600; the proceeds to be applied to the re-
demptipn of United States bonds issued I'M

monty known as the 1910 bonds. In addi-
ton to this amount $44, SEE, 300 of these
bonds, being the residue needed to redeem
the 1910 bonds, will be reserved for CONVEX

gay colored Innings with white polka dots.
The newest white lawn and cambria
waists have the fronts in fichu style, made
with separate piece in six plaits on
each side, sewed in the shoulder seams,
and tapering to the waist.
Evening stockings in the shades to
match the new fabrics are embroidered
between squares or lace figures set in
over tho insleps and sometimes up the
sides.
The new Spanish scarfs and nantes
for spring and summer are both long and
large. They may oe worn at will all
over the head, as drapery in the Span
ish fashion. The scarfs are also for
street wear.
The Dudley promenade costume has a
special feature, which will prove very
convenient. The skirt clears the ground,
and the train, which is separated from
the skirt just above the revers With
which it is trimmed IS to be carried on
the arm, LEAVING both hands at liberty,
SO if our ladies will insist upon trained
street costumes, nothing so convenient
as this style can be suggested for their
benefit.
The quaintest mixtures of color appear
in mummy cloth, as stripes of yellow
green, pink, and white, all mingled to-
gether, and patterns resembling Satsuma
ware, with creamy grounds and small
flower designs in shades of brown, Sevres
blue and scarlet.
The fashion for flower bouquets is to
have gara den posies with several old.fash-
Toned flowers in them; punches of thou
sand-ieaf roses, spray of migonette, a
pansy OF two, marigold or buttercup,
and few ferns are tied together and
used in bonnets or for waist bouquets.
Diamond ribbon collar necklaces are
the fashion of the passing moment, set IN
pace style, and with clasps that make
them available either for pair of brace
lets or for necklace.
A new fancy that will probably s'take''
is to face the skirts of dressy costumes
with red silk, under which the lace
balayeuse is basted, making very rretty
and striking dress effect.
The newest and most elegant umbrel
las for all occasions are in very dark
wine colors, or gendarme blue, black or
invisible green, and of the rich, soft, ser.
viceable, twilled umbrella silk that is
both sun and shower. proof.
All the accessories of the toilet, as all
the fabrics, seem to be perfection. The
exquisite shades of mastic, almond and
cafe an zGit are seen to the utmost ad-
vantage in fine, soft. undressed kid, and
match the fine tints OF the lovely materials
which are used for spring suits and
costumes.
A gay morning robe always looks vul-
gar at a watering place or hotel breakfast,

fabrics in spring costumes

IN. M. S. Pinafore."

The second presentation of ssH. M. s.
Pinafore" at the Opera House drew out .
larger audience than the first. The enter
tainment was free from some of the blem-
ishes that marred the initial performance,
and the abundant applause testified the ap-
probation of the audience. All the partici-
pants acquitted themselves well-more in the
manner of professionals than amateurs
and the entire performance worked smoothly.
Too much credit cannot be bestowed upon
those who have labored so hard to present the
operetta in such creditable manner, and
we trust that last nights representation will
not be the last. Miss Davidson, Mrs.
Thompson, Miss Haynes, and the Messrs.
Smith, Wilkes, Draper, Buckalew, Toles and
Trowbridge have much to be proud of. They
all sang and acted their parts with consum
mate skill, and need not fear comparison
with professionals in the roles they assumed
70 the chorus is also due great credit fo1
the success which attended the representa-
ton, and all who participated will be cor
daily remembered.

Office address of the person to whom the
bond shall be made payable. All national
banks, upon complying with section 5,l43,
revised statutes Of the United States, are
again invited to become financial agents of
the government and repositories of public
moneys received on sales of these
bonds. They can make their

banks for deposits. The purchase money
received by depository banks on account of
subscriptions will remain on deposit with
said banks subject to the order of the treas

may direct. Payments may be made to the
treasurer Of the United States, Washingt, n,
or the assistant treasurers at Baltimore, Bos-

Francisco in coin, matured coupons, loan
certificates or United States notes. The
secretary of the treasury will al
so accept in payment called bonds
and certificates of deposit of
national banks specially sdesignated to re-
ceive deposits on this account, but the bonds
will not be delivered until the certificate has
been paid for by treasury draft or by de-
post of like amount with the treasurer or
some assistant treasurer of the United
States, or until other United States bonds
are substituted in their stead. The treas
urer of the United States will also accept in
payment United States coupons maturing
within thirty days, or drafts in favor of him
self drawn on New York, which will be col
lected and the excess, if any, re-
turned by check t. the deposition.
The secretary will also exchange for any out
standing uncalled 1910 bonds of the United
States an equal amount of 4 per cent.
bonds. In such case this department will
pay to holders of said 1O-4Os the interest ac-
crued and premium of one half of per
cent. Ten dollar refunding certificates may
be converted upon their surrender to the
treasurer of the United States at Washing
ton into an equal amount of the per cent.
bonds herein described, but premium of
one half per cent. will be required on all
such refunding certificates issued upon GER

New YoRK, April 16.-In the Stanley court
martial, Gen. Alex Mcdowell McCook said
he asked Gen. Stanley why he pushed Gen.
Hazen so, and he said Hazen was trying to
worm himself into the new administration;
that the people in Washington did not know
Hazen, and he Stanley proposed they
should know him, because the first thing
they were aware of he would push himself
into brigadier generalship, and this Stan
ley proposed to put stop to. He thought
Col. Stanley made no threats against Hazen,
but meant be would proceed officially against
him. Stanley did not say anything about
an agreement between him and Hazen that
he should say nothing against him. Col.
Stanley's language was unfavorable to
Hazen, but ii was spoken in very agree
able way. Stanley said he told Hazen at
Fort Rice that he was coward and liar, and
witness thought it was at Crittenden's table.
Stanley said his main object was to prevent
Hazen's promotion at Washington.
