The following high compliment
and just acknowledgement of the
abilities of the Hon. Jas. E.. Bailey
we clip from the sShelbyville Ga
zette: m 8
Elk Senator Jas. E. Bailey a. Son
Jas. E. Bailey, Jr., have opened
their law Office in Ciarksville, their
home, and will practice law here
after under the firm name and'style
Of Bailey & BaiIey.D
Chief Justice Nicholson said
shortly before his death, that Col.
Bailey was the finest lawyer in the
state, and such an opinion from
such a source carries much weight
with it. His ability as a lawyer
was recognized in the u. S. Senate
when it was arranged by the demo-
cratic caucus in the Senate that he,
Bailey should make the opening
speech and argue the legal question
involved in the Kellogg contro-
versy, which he did in most mas
terly and convincing manner.
This recognition of his legal learn
ing and ability grows stronger
when we reflect upon the fact, at
that time the Senate was composed
of some of the best lawyers in the
country, lawyers who held position
in the front ranks of their profess
sion, of "dense and nimble" brains
capable and accustomed to grasp
and expound with clearness aad
precision notify and intricate ques-
tions of law. We have an. unstint-
ed admiration for Col. Bailey as a
man, a lawyer, and a statesman,
and had rather have the position
he holds in the estimation of the
people and the history of his state,
than that of any other one man in
her borders. We hope the sons
future may be as distinguished as
his fathers, characterized by the
same liberal views of the conduct
and actions of others, with the same |
respect and regard for the rights
and feelings of others, which have
governed his father in his dealings
and intercourse with men. and won
for him the admiration of so many
thinking men and their
evidence that he is an honest, up-s
right, a just and good citizen and |
official.

CRoAKINa ABOUT the decrease In
our exports seems to be constant
theme Of some of the newspapers at
present. 1t could not be expected
that our exports of farm products
could be kept up to the last two years.
which were years of famine in many
parts Of Europe. The exports have
faiisn OF quite heavily as will be
SHOWN by the annexed paragraph from
an article in the New York Tribune.
which expresses its apprehension of
danger in the future but of what
character it does not state. One of
the reasons that our exports have dc.
creased is to be found In the stlffeninR
Of our prices. Wheat cannot be as
freely exported when it is 81 40 and
cash required in gold, as when it is
$l.2o and the pay taken in the pro-.
ducts of other countries. Taking the
heavy tariff duties into account and
the fact is that the exports keep up
amazingly. Should favorable season
Tor growing and securing the crops in
England, France and Germany occur
our exports of grain, under the pres.
ent high tariff, would dwindle down
to less than third of what they are
now. But the United States increased
in wealth and grew in population
really as rapidly when the balance OF
trade in our favor was far less than it
now is, and this will be the case again.
1t is even doubtful whether we would
not be better off were we not in re-
ceipt of 80 much gold from Europe.
We have enough for all purposes now;
our banks regard it as drug, and the
the United States Treasury and Mints
are stored to excess with it. In fact
the interest it involves is heavy tax
Last week the export elearanees
from the seven principal Atlantic
ports were only 5S, 500 barrels of flour,
against 75,5 for the corresponding
week last year only 1,10s, ,S54 bushels
wheat, against 1851, 102 last year ;
and only 1,614,685 bushels corn,
against 2, 4e6, 665 last year. In cot
ton, the decreased exports was also
very large /; only 1924 bales went
from all ports, against 135,925 bales
for the same week last yea Petro-
leum still goes out in large quanti-
titles, but there is great decrease
in pork, lard, bacon, tallow, cheese
and butter. The decline IN exports
begins to have effect upon the specie
movements, nor is this strange, for it
has continued ever since the fiscal
year began. The official statements
show that the value of exports OF
domestic merchandise for three
months ending September 80, 1881,
was $lo9, 7l3,731, against S206, 557, ,575
for the same months in 1880, but the
decrease in September alone was
$S, ,947, S81. Meanwhile, the yaluo Of
imports Of merchandise for the three
months was $169,716,S71, against
$l68, 7oS, 886 last year, and the increase
Ia September alone was $2,430,37
But the movement at New York
alone during the last four weeks
shows results still more unfayorable
for domestic exports hence have de.
creased W, 542, 524, while imports here
have increased $l,251, 1863. 1t is but
the plain truth that the financial stu
alton cannot be considered free from
danger, however easy the money mar
ket may appear, so long as specul:
tion arrests the free expectation O
our surplus products, and causes then
TO accumulate in vast quantities a
