ten years as minister to one Of the
most fashionable and aristocratic
courts of the whole world. He has
returned and brought back with him
all that republican simplicity which
he learned to love among the hills OF
the Pine Tree state. The world may
challenge to furnish parallel to
his service while at Paris, during
the war between France and Ger
many. Almost any fair man might
have conducted himself at that time
and place, as our minister, so as to
please France, but what other man,
except Mr.. Washburne, could have
so conducted himself as to satisfy
France, and at the same time COM
mand the admiration of that people
with which, France was then in dire
conflict That such is the case, that
he finds a warm place in the heart
of every adopted citizen Of German
antecedents, may be easily proved
by asking the humblest Teution you
find in any town, whether he knows
or has ever heard of the service Mr..
Washburne rendered his countrymen
in the Franco Prussian war.
1t may we'll be said that there are
enough Germans in New York, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin who
would vote for no other republican
candidate, but would vote for Mr..
Washburne. to make any of the
states named which might be lost to
the republicans with any other can
didate than Mr.. Washburne, sure
for the republicans with him as
their candidate.
The benefit to the republicans
would not end with the election of
their presidential ticket. We have
not the least doubt that if Mr..
Washburne should receive the nom
ination, every congressional district
in this state would elect republi-
can representative for the only
three districts now represented by
democrats, a large part of the voters
in which are Germans, would be
swept by him as by whirlwind.
Right here we might stop and ask.
if Mr.. Washburne as minister to
France, while he retained the full
confidence Of the French govern
ment, could also win the confidence
and admiration of Germany, which
nations were bitter enemies and at
war with each other, may it not be
reasonable to suppose that if elect
ed president which will retain the
full confidence of the northern states,
which alone elect him, he may also
allay the animosities and win the
confidence and affection of the south
ern states, which will not now cast
an electoral vote for him or any
republican who may be nominated!
He may not have the brilliancy of
Blaine as an orator, bu. he has at
world more of practical good sense,
and that is what is now in demand.
On all the old principles of the re-
publicans, he is as sound as dollar.
On the financial question, he is all
that could be desired In ability and
experience as statesman he is the
peer if not the superior Of the other
men named for the nomination. He
will command all the votes any Of
them could get, and very large vote
from class of citizens who would
not support Grant at all, and only a

THE O0TToN M0YpMEnr.

1t is yet too early in the season to
form any idea regarding the probable
amount Of the present cotton crop
The estimates Of experts vary widely
and range all the way from FIVE TO
five aud three quarter millions of bales,
with a few in the east pushing the
figure even higher. The general
opinion is that the out-turn will be
considerably under the average
estimates, but it is all guess
work and mainly depends
on the state of the weather
from now until Christmas, the inter
vening period Of which gives us sixty
nine work days for gathering. The
movement of the crop into the various
markets is, however, topic Of inter
est and excites constant discussion
and comment among cotton dealers
The receipts at the leading points
since the first of last month
and a comparison with last year af
fords an entertaining study. At st.
Louis, at this date last season, the re
eeipts reached 81 200 bales, while this
year but 1867 bales have found their
way into that market. Here we are
more than 10000 bales ahead of last
year at this time. At New Orleans the
receipts foot up 1868 bales, and are
upwards of 5000 above last years re-
ceipts. At Mobile the receipts have
been 1861 bales, against 1881
bales last year at the same time. The
receipts at the Texas ports have been
5S,233 bales, against 56, ,l02 last season
Savaunab's receipts foot up 63,467
bales, and ore 26,S5l ahead of last
year. Charleston also shows consid-
cradle excess of receipts, while at the
Virginia ports q ,5ll bales have been
handled. against 5636 bales same time
last year. Florida receipts at lates'
dates we're but $50 bales, against 200
last year. From these figures it will
be seen that Savannah, Charleston
Memphis, New Orleans and Galveston
are considerably ahead Of last season
in the reception of the staple, while
St. Louis exhibits considerable fall
ing of, and one or two other points
show a slight reduction. The excess
of receipts at all American points
compared with last year at this time
is 80, ,427 bales,

when he visited the school the boys
always got holiday. On one of his

the boys rose to salute him, when he
told them to resume their seats, as ha

dainty able to pay it. Aud it is quite
true thatwith the return Of compar-
atiye prosperity in the face Of
detaulted interest that the peo-
pie generally are in a much
better condition financially than
they were only few years ago. Not
bOndholder has been heard to say
during this canvass that be world
take sixty cents on the dollar, and
really we do not see how our high-tsx
brethren could ask such a concession.
1t Hawkins or Wright could secure a
compromise on either Of their plat
forms at eighty cents, it would be bet
ter than they ought to expect. This,
suppOsing the debt to be now S2S,-
100000, would reduce it to about
S22,OO0,0O0. The annual interest on
this at six per cent would be $l,320,
OOO,which would requirea tax of about
sixty cents on the dollar, to say moth
ing about q sinking fund and ordinary
expenses. If he bonds we're all or
nearly all held in the state, by our
own citizens, and the money collected
to pay the interest were re.dis-
tributed and kept in circulation
among the people, it would not be
such hardship But the bonds are
nearly all held at the north and in
Europe. The money to be paid out
as interest is an absolute drain upon
the productive capacity and the com
merce Of the state. 1t comes indi
rectly from all the people. 1t leaves
the state forever, and not a dollar Of
it can return, nor can any benefit
be realized in the future. That,
whatever it was, is all in the past.
Yet we are constantly told that
aside from the honor and glory of the
business it would be a splendid pecu-
mary venture and we might be led to
believe that thrifty colonies Of immi
grants would speedily settle in every
county to help us pay this debt or to
share our newborn prosperity; that
manufactures would be found on
every creek; that the treasures
of the mountains would be
unlocked and forges run
day and night to melt them, and that
Tennessee would soon rival the most
wealthy and populous states Of the
north. This is false argument. We
settled" with a vengeance in 1873,
and it stood for two years. VIII any
one pretend to say that during that
period there was any perceptible in
crease of immigration, or influx of
capital? The comptroller's report
showed big falling off in the assessed
value Of property. The people as a
general rule did not know much about
the state debt question in 1873,
for the war and its immediate conse-
Quences had occupied their whole at
tention and energy, but they begin to
understand it about as well now
as those who attempted to fasten this
terrible load upon them for thirty
years to come.
