that condition.
Neither the one, nor the other have
been passed upon by the Supreme Court
of the United States to my knowledge.
Their decision one way or the other
will remove, for all time, the chief diff
ficulties with which your department
stands confronted and mark and make
plain, way of deliverance. Why not,
by your action, secure so desirable a re-
suit ? Pardon me for saying, it would be
the growing glory Of your .admlnlstIa"
tion-an earnest of true reform, and
priceless boon to the honest tollers ana
bread winners OF the land.
The way is easy. A simple refusal on
your part to proceed further IN the con-
-firmati0n of this and other similar
grants, until so ordered by judicial pro-
cess, would force these corporations IN
to the courts. The magnitude of their
interest would imperatively demand
prompt action. They profess to be arm
ed with the law-let them be RENTED

Should Secretary Lamar be Influenced
by this view OF the case and the matter
be adiudicated upon by the courts, the
settler will then, and not till then, know
where and how to obtain. clear title to
the property upon which he has settled.
In connection with this it affords US

Low Prices for Cotton.
THE COMING CROP AND ITS EFFECTS.
Augusta Ga, News.


Indications and reports multiply to
the effect that the cotton crop this year
is in remarkably fine condition, and
that the largest crop ever known will
be produced. Those in position to
know, and who annually make careful
computations of the crop, place the
Weld this season at not less than seven
million bales, while some very careful
and reliable statisticians even antici-
pate half-million bales above that
figure. Nothing now, it seems, can
possibly occur to prevent the pr0duc-
ton of an cnormus crop.
1t is interesting, says the Savannah
Times, in view of these facts, to specu-
late upon the probable course OF prices.
This large crop will come right on the
heels of two, comparatively speaking
short yields. The crop for the year
ending August 31,1884, was 5,713,00C
bales, while that for the year ending on
the S1st inst. is placed at 100000 bales,
And yet, notwithstanding these two
short crops following each other in sue
cession, we have seen the market glut-
ted with cotton goods to such an ex-
tent that the mills Of the country have
been forcdd to cut down production and
wages, and to-day their bushes is

ExcEEDINGLY sTAGNANT.

With seven-million bale crop now
coming ON it IS not reasonable to expect
anything like past high prices for the
great Southern staple this season. We
may expect to hear reports of ravages
by caterpillars, rust and storms, and no
doubt efforts will be made from time to
time to create the impression that the
yield has been materially reduced from
first calculations. These L ports will be
started by spectators who want to
:" bull" the market, and by farmers who
imagine that prices will be thereby
stimulated. Neither, however, will
have any lasting effect. The butiness
centres of the world viii regulate the
market value OF the staple and the law
Of supply and demand will finally de-
eide the matter. Even it the yield is
cut off in some localities, it will be I'M
usually fine in Others; so the general
average will be good, and the seven
million bales will exercise their due
influence.
The day has passed for small cotton
crops. Each year the cotton area is be-
ing increased, and in much greater pro-
portion than the wants of the world for
cotton goods. Already anything less
than 100000 bales is considered a short
yield, and it will not be many years be-
fore 100000 bales will be the average
production. Hereafter it is more than
probable that eight cents a pound will
be the best price the planter can reason
ably hope for. When this fact is fully
realized, and our farmers make their
calculations to that end, the whole
South will be decidedly benefited. The
farmer will then give his first att ntiOn
to supplies Of the home and farm, and
his cotton will be surplus crop which
will yield him an almost clear profit at
even much lower rate. And then the
larger the crop the better, for as cotton
will always command ready sale, and
will be cash crop, the more there is of
it, the more money will there be in cir
culation to stimulate and keep the
wheels Of business actively revolving.
