INDIA COTTON MOVEMENT FROM ALL PORTS.
We have during the past year been endeav-
Oring to rearrange our India service so as to
make our reports more detailed and at the
same time more accurate. Hitherto we have
found it impossible to keep out of our figures,
as cabled to us for the ports other than Bonn
bay, cargOes which proved only to be ship
ments from one India port to another. The
plan we have now adopted, as we have reason
To believe, will relieve us from the danger of
this inaccuracy and keep the totals correct.
We first give the Bombay statement for the
week and year, bringing the figures down to
December ..

GRATITUDE.


DENVER, COL, Aug. 20, 1882.
GENTs-I cannot find words with
which to express my gratitude to you
for the cure your Swift's Specific has
effected in my case. l was afflicted
with the horrible blood disease fer
three years, and after spending some
time at the Hot Springs, considered my
case a hopeless one. l used only one
dozen small bottles of S. S. S., and
there is not sign of the disease re-
naming. My sores are all healed, my
throat is entirely well; | am rid of that

however, is fully satisfactory to holders, as
latterly buyers have evinced more interest,

comparatively unchanged. the market eN-

the feeling brought on by the holidays dies
out we may look for more activity and better

RX9oR OF LUMBER AND TIMBER FROM THE
CJ7T OF SAVANNAH SINCE SEPTEMBER l,
National Republican., 1883-12-11
Getting Together.

The members Of tho national committee of
the republican party who are assembling in
Washington for tho meeting Of tomorrow
will be ablo to communicate to each other a
very different condition of the party in many
of the states from that which last January
confounded aud oppressed them. Then nine
northern republican states had enveloped
themselves in sitting fog, and
the doubling aud tlmid gave some
of them up as lost. Now how changed
the prospect. Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania
Connecticut, and New York redeemed. The
democratic free trade follies and election
crimes have aroused the country, and every
republican is as ready for the coming contest
as he was when we had had no reverses. The
dangers through which the party has passed
has checked the self.will Of factionists. The
bold advance of tho free traders, and
their capture of the house OF
representatives, has sent feeling
of alarm to every workshop in the
land--the masses Of the people who saved the
territories from the polluting touch of slavery
and in defending that action smote down re-
sisting slavery in the states. The people arc
aroused and determined that American labor
shall make itself respected. The protective
duties on articles of American manufacture
will suffer no reduction. If we have to re.
duce the revenue an increase Of duties will
best accomplish that by reducing iuportations
The rapid strides of Virginia under liberal
rule has received bloody check, and in a
carnival of crime bourbonism has achieved o
temporary triumph. But most dangerously
has it prevailed. Tho shotgun, as a demo-
cratic clectioneeriug instrument, had been
thought to have passed measurably out oi
use, when suddenly the Danville massacre
taught us that we were mistaken
The north resents the violent suppression at
the south of the votes of its friends, and the
blood of the martyrs will be found to be the
seed of the republican church. The inter
change of views between committeeman, sen.
ators, and representatives is like o general
assembly of the party of the nation. We hope
there will bc no struggles for precedence in
the committee. Let US save all our ammuni.
ton for the enemy.
National Republican., 1883-12-11

The Carolina sea cotton islands, for instance,
why II is that they have made so little prog
ress compared TO their brethren in tho north,
and in some sections in tho south. Knowing
that, so far as the law is concerned, they have
political rights equal TO his own, and can
thereby exert as potent an influence upon tho
affairs of the country as tho white, IL would
be painful to him to find masses OF colored
voters in the south who, mentally and NOR
ally, have made little, If any, gain
since Lincoln's proclamation. If he
should ask the white neighbors of this class
of colored men whether tho reason for their
condition lay In mental incapacity, tho
answer, as rule, would be in the sfirmaL
tive. But II the questionor was of an inves-
tigating turn OF mind he would hardly be
satisfied to adopt such conclusion, for the
widely different condition of tho colored peo-
plo elsewhere would irresstibly suggest it's
falsity. Tho cause would have to be looked
for elsewhere.
Mr.. Douglass, while not pursuing this
branch of his subject further, suggests a
question that is pregnant with meaning when
reason is sought for the non-progress Of the
colored man in parts of the south. The sug1
gestion is this;
Another question, equally pertinent, aud even
more momentous, in view of the history of Yazoo,
Hamburg, and the recent slaughter at Danvlle, is
ths Have the recent Shareholders made any
sensible degree of progress in civilization since
the emancipation Of their slaves? Are they more
industrious, honest, and humane than when they
bought, sold, and flogged their fellowmen to toll
for them without wages?
Plainly enough the recent bondsmen can make
little progress without the consent and opera
ton of the ruling class among whom they live,
and who own the land upon which they live.

haul it to market. The people are slow to
angor, aud not always quick to SEQ the leaks
through which arc sitting their earnings, but
they have final settlements which aro
mathematical and irresistible. The railroad
corporations will do we'll TO profit by tho
experience of tho past and insist only upon
fair business relations with the government.
They cannot afford to gall tho peoples backs
by riding them as o controlling political
power. If they will restrain their political
agents from other than defensive action, and
will demonstrate their fairness between in
dividuals, cities, and sections, they will make
adverse legislation both unnecessary and i'm
possible,

A decision was rendered by the United
States supreme court yesterday in the case of
the Canada Southern Railway company
against VIM. III. Gebhard ct al, brought here
by writ of error to the circuit court of the
United States for tho southern district of
New York. This is one of a series of suits,
all of which raise the question of the legal
effect to be given in the United States to the
scheme of reorganization of the Canada
Southern Railway company under an act of
the Dominion parliament passed in 1873 en-
titled "An act to authorize and confirm the
scheme eofarrangemento of the Canada Southern
Railway company" Thejudgment of the cir
cult court in favor of the complaining bond
holders who did not assent to the scheme of
reorganization is reversed and the cause re-
manded with instructions to render decree
in favor of the Canada Southern Railway
company. Opinion by Chief Justice Waite,
Justice Harlan dissenting. This decision
controls all the cases.
