CAIRO AS A COTTON MARKET.

IL is not at all necessary that a lepgthy
argument should be entered into to prove
that Cairo is tavorabl, situated to command
large portion of the traffic IN the staple
production OF the SOUTH. A mere glance
at her position ON the map and knowledge
of her system of railroads, present and
prospective, is sufficient TO convince
any sensible person that, with proper effort,
this city could become cotton market
equal in Importance to Memphis or st.
LOUIS. The same advantages which in
duced the Singer Sewing Machine Com
pany and the Dixie Cotton Seed Oil Com
pany to build their factories here and the
Illinois Central railroad company to
build its immense elevator here
can induce the raiser and shipper of cotton
to make Cairo distributing point. AS
Cairo is certain 10 become an important
centre for the shipment Of northern grain
to the south, so it can become an important
point for the distribution of the southern
staple among the cotton mills of the north,
until such time when she shall have built
her own mills That this idea is not a.
much buncomb as some would like to be-
lieve is evident from the fact that the threat.

THE DAILY CAIRO BULLETIN: WEDNESDAY MORNING.

gestion and asks; "Wby not call a confer
ence of judges and lot them commend to
the people Of both parties what to do to
save expense and trouble2 There is no
longer any question about the legality OF
of the acts Of the present officials should
they hold over, nor should there be any
doubt about the result should candidates
be run and elected over the present incum-
bents and make a contest for the place; but
1t would give greater assurance of Il peace
full settlement of this question If an equal
number ofjudges should give their opinion
on the subject, either by an agreed case to
the court, or a consultation of circuit
judges. Democratic or republican central
committees are just like other people when
this question comes before them, and would
very naturally decide on the case, as they
would any other, solely from political
standpoint" There is no necessity either
for convention of the state central com
mlttee or OF the circuit judges. If there
were, the latter would doubtless be prefer
able to the former, because it
would be presumed to be uninhuenced by
party feelings IN rendering decision. But
there is no necessity for such conventions.
The law in the matter is so plain and has
been so extensively discussed in the state
press that every voter knows it nearly if
not quite as well as any Of the judges, and
a decision of body of judges would have
but little if ony effect in shaping the action
of local party central committees
if they choose to hold an election.
1t is plain as the Monitor
says that there can be no doubt about the
legality OF the acts OF the present incum-
bents, should they hold over but it is equal
ly plain which the Monitor seems to doubt,
that the result of an election and contest
between the newly elected and the present
officers, would be Il speedy and complete
defeat Ut the former. 1t can not be other
wise, even according to the reasoning of
Attorney General Mccartney; who claims
that the old provision of the
constitution under which it IS
proposed to hold the election next
November, becomes null the moment it
/
comes in conflict wit theh new amendment
this occurs next November and not year
from that date as some claim. No one, not
even Attorney General Mccartney, denies
that the amended provision goes into effect
in 1882 and that an election of county
officers must then be held under
it. Accordingly, if county officers
are elected IN next November
they must be elected foronlyone year, which
would be in direct violation of the consti.
tuition as twas, which says that the officer in
question, SHALL BE ELECTED TO AND HOLD
THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICES FOR TWO YEARS.
Thus the constitution as it was falls by
conflict with the constitution as it is, and
all authority for an election in next
November is wiped out of existence.

THIS YEARS COTTON CRop.-The
Liverpool Daily Post, high authori-
ty, prefers tho bull side Of the new
crop. 1t says: "The American crop
may reach 6,5O0,000 bales against
5,7o7 ,O0O last season, or an excess of
743,OOO bales. From this must be de-
Quoted 81 per cent. Oh 100000 bales
for extra waste, say 227, 200 bales.
Egypt is sending 100000 cantars,
equal to 10000 bales Of American
weight, less than last season, and the
shipments from Bombay are estimated
as likely 10 be $4,000 to 100000 bales
less, say $4,000 bales Of American
weight, making, with the deficit from
Egypt, q total Of 155, 900 bales. or with
the 227 900 bales extra loss in spin
ming the American crop, an aggregate
OF 332 600 bales to be deducted from
the 743, 900 bales excess in the Ameri-
can crop; and leaving 361 900 bales as
the actual excess to be dealt with this
season, the greater part of which will
have disappeared by the end of Sep
tcmbcr. People now wonder at the
size of the crop. In October they will
wonder what has become of it.. Or
course there is no scarcity of cotton,
but there is not so much Of it that it
need be thrown away; and time will
show that. regarding cotton on It's own
merits, there is nothing to justify tho
dolciui view just now being taken of
tho prospects of the market.
ATTACKED BY BLACK SNAKEs.-The
Amerirus, Ga, Republican prints the
following tough yarn: GA colored
man named Jasper, living eight or
ten miles from town, says that on
Friday he and his little boy, about
ten years old, were hoeing cotton;
that he was some distance ahead Of
tho boy, who was working near the
edge of the field by some weeds and
bushes. He heard his boy holler, and
looking around did not see him; he
then ran to sec what was the matter.
On arriving at the spot ho found the
lad on the ground in the coils Of three
large black snakes. On his appear
ance the snakes prepared to fight him,
and seeing that they would soon choke
his boy to death, he took his pocket
knife and cut the one that had made
the little fellow a very uncomfortable
cravat into half a dozen pieces, by in
scrting the knife next to the lads
neck and cutting upward. He then
caught the others by tho head and
with his knife cut them in two or
three pieces. lie was bitten several
times, but he said: Il knowcd black
snake bite wouldn't hurt much, and
let 'em bite, SO 1 could save dc boy;
but l had to take him to dc branch
and throw water OIL him long time.
He is all right now. Dem black snake
is dc mcancst Oh all tle snake. Dey
don't let you know what dcy going to
DO tell dcy is on youp"
