Nkw York, June 10, 1870.?Inasmuch oh it is reported here that Mr. George W. I Williams; ?.f Charleston, is exerting Jiitn, self adroitly and energetically to the tusk j of creating a public opinion in the South 1 towards excusing his attempt to evade payment of his indebtedness to merchants j | in this city who are members of the New j York Cotiop Exchange, indications of j . which have been given out to newspapers | land in the form of circulars, T have deem j ! ed it well to ask space of yon for the pur- j i pose of giving, in as few words as possi-! I ble the origin and purpose of Hie New} i York Cotton Exchange, the nature of the! j business transacted in it, which have' j been assailed by hitn, and which is of! j public interest, together with a response j t > so much of the defence set up by him, i j and intruded upon, or brought to the no- j jtieeof the public, lor his failure to settle! the contracts made by his recent firm of! [Williams, IMrnie <si Co., in this city.! | Myself a Southerner, an attempt of this | sort 1 cannot but regard an 'nsult to the' intelligence and integrity of the people of; I that section, to whom these appeals are| being directed, and that the fair play, so I; universally admired demands something! from the other side. This exchange exists under a special! charter enacted bv the Legislature of the!; I Slate, and in which its powers :im grant- j | ed, its purposes defined, atul under tin: authority of which the rules and bv-law.s |, of the same havo been adopted and I amended, from time to time, as ex peri- : i enee lias suggested. It wasanal>solnlenoeossityof the trade!* the growth of years, already existing: its! purpose that the cotton business, might, lor the first time in-its history, be con-L ducted under an organized direction ado- ( quato to its vast and increasing propor- r tions and varied nature, at the same time ( subject to laws and equitable regulations | applicable to the proper conduct of this j. branch of the trade, and which unques- . , tionably afford more ready and lar better protection than the slow and costly adju- ( dication. That these transactions and the rules governing them are founded on ' principles of justice and equity has been . |alllrmed repeatedly in the higher courts . (if this Suite as well as in your own , State. j The business of contracts for the future , delivery of cotton is the form of a part , only of the transaction made, and these ^ wore lirst adopted for the mutual aceom- * modation of manufacturers and sellers in a very natural way. The manufacturer 4 contracted goods ahead, aud then made his contracts with dealers to deliver such quantities of cotton as would be required but at stated prices and times in the future. On tho other hand, planters and dealers are anxious to secure existing pri-1 co< for sotno portion of the crop. Such iliters were made in this market, and de-: I maud created suppply. The guano trade i' which handles largely contracts from J planters, added its interest; exporters availed themselves of its temporary pro- j tection for their shipments: merchants arc enabled to carry their stocks in store j during the season by selling contract j against them, and European markets are i not overcrowded at any stage, and undue | depression is checked. jj Not unlike the clearing-house system j in banking, it reduces the friction and) expenses of transfers, readily adjusts itself) t<> the wants of each one and is of great r benefit to the industry of the country,' moving the crop from the producer to the consumer at far less cost than formerly. * Cotton has always been a favorite arti-! clc of speculation?"gambling," as Mr. I Williams now disdainfully calls it, but under the system of years ago, when capitalists only could handle it, specula- 1 tion in it ran to extremes unknown to tin* j present system, which has reduced thej trade from an aristocracy to a democra- J cv. The ItoUichilds and the Barings no I longer hold the control, but anyone with 4 some few hundred dollars may have an ! , interest of some moment in the market.! I Many throughout the South have reaped J great benelitfroui this svstein during the j present season, and while they may not be milliouaros, they had brains enough to liuv cotton at a time when Mr. Williams' iniluence and his customers' or-!, ders were directed to selling short on 1? speculation as now appears. j ' That among a large membership, daily v transacting business with each other, n->t j only on account of dealers and merchants | throughout the United States, but in all . parts of the world where cotton is bought j and sold, there should naturally grow up ; :ii! rxnrit tin rm-ti* and reouisitu sense of / honor and manliness is to bo expected. I ^ Failures have occured in the business, i but until tiiis one they were uniformly I caused hv an inability to pay. Never be- j fore this has the game of "heads I win, tails you lose," been openly declared, I nor had it occurred to merchants here I that any one engaged in the trade* of tin's! market would send in forma! notice of bankruptcy and at the same time nn-'r tiouncG publicly to the contiary, giving further as a reason that his peculiar type j?| of honesty would not admit of his meet-! ing his liabilities by payment. On the dav of his failure, Mr. Wil-j liainssent dispatches home?since Riven I . out for publication?to the effect that he! had suspended because he would not en- ; courage "cotton gambling" vet on the < following day |he sold 10,000 bales i through a single broker on the exchange, j quietly collected such ditferenees as were; \ due his house on contracts se.ttled under I the rule in consequence of the announcement of this failure, continued to collect other dues until apprehending suits, and at a moment's* warning he left his j oflieeand the city, lie had assured his creditors here that lie would not leave i New York until everything was settled.! J They, believed him. lie deciarded to one |0 of them that he would "do right though ! c the heavens fail."' It was so like a mail j | holding his position would say and act i upon that he also believed him. Mr. ; Williams stated while here that he was M worth ?l,fi00,000. Yet he leaves &J80.000I unpaid, and reek lessly subjects hisstanding as a merchant, which by some memislhe r used to a height not exceeded bv any [r In thoSonthern States, at least to question.'; lie now attempts to repudiate the result! of his contracts, resorts to cunning, and asks his neighbors, perhaps some of them these same customers for whom he forced premature settlement 01 uuinraBw i at such a heavy loss, to endorse his conduct. It is pertinent to a controversy invited, as this has been by him, to say that his j public reference to Mr. William Birnie, !j as concerning their creditors is simply an impertinence, and evidently intended ?1 to be given out as a ease of "wicked part- ! iter." It is qnite probable that Mr. Birnie speculated in contracts, but neither buyers nor sellers are necessarily specula tors, and as to how that may be in this I ( case, their creditors know nothing. That! I Mr. Williams lias speculated in them may be shown by the fact that he personally ordered and had executed sales of J 10,000 bales on this exchange the day following the dissolution of his late firm 1 here, and while he was sending telegrams j of the kind already mentioned. But I j have now given .as much perhaps more J than is of interest to the public?of this matter.

That ho is rich is undoubted, j and that he knows tho value of honesty, promptness and fidelity-to contracts, is abundantly evident from the speech delivered by him at his celebration of his ! 34th anniversary of his business life, and published by him in book form for distribution. In that speech he recommended all these qualities to young men with I a forco and earnestness that could leave no doubt as to his familiarity with these moral sentiments; not alone in their religious, but in their philosophical aspects. This makes Ins action only the more mysterious. The solution of this enijrma is beyond reach until lie chooses to furnish it.?(br. Atlanta Con-it itiitinn. BIUTJIS. Near Means' Chanel, Mrs. S. H.

On Saturday last tho Bell Oompanj* placed a Blake transmitter in Uraco [Episcopal] Church attaching it t<> one of the lecterns, and connecting it by wire with one ol'the simple Hull hand telephone in tho residence of a citizen near tho lower end of High street. The transmitter is enclosed in a little box of polished i walnut, and occupies so small a spaceI that its presence on the lectern in front of the minister is hardly noticed by tho congregation. A small insulated covered ! wire runs down the side of the lectern to the carpcted-lloor, ond thence along onool' the chanc<>l steps to the wall, and out through a minute gimlet hole in the window frame where it is connected with the main wire, which crosses tho street ami runs alomr from roof to roof of the houses to its terminus?the chamber of an invalid lady who, for ten years past, by reason of sickness, lias boon debarred the blessings and privileges of the service of her church, jmd the com forts and instruction of the sermons of her pastor. One can better imagine than describe the .joyous feeling which she experienced after so long a deprivation at being once more able to hear and take part in the services, even at so great a distance. And yet it was not without some fears, as she look hold of the phone, that her pleasant anticipations might not be wholly realized. A few minutes belore 11 o'clock she placed the phone to her ear. The lirst sounds were the voices of the one or two hundred children in the Sunday school , in the basement of the church as they i joined in singing of the closing hymn-the air coming clearatid distinct. Then came , :?ver tlie wire the deep tones of the church , boll, calling the people to worship, A few moments' pause and the notes of the organ came soft and clear, and then was heard the voiceof the minister, Rev. I>r. liibson, as lie read : "The Lord is in His lioly Temple?let all the earth keep silence before II inf'?clear and distinct as , :hough the speaker and listener had been n the same room.

Scarcely a word from thd minister or a note from the choir was lost, Flic lady had her prayer book and Bible tnd hymnal before her and made the re- i spouses with the congregation.
