The'downfall of Sumner creates a greater sensation-in political circles here than any event which has. happened at Washington for a year past. The friends of-the ousted chair? man ,of the committee of foreign relations, while they declare that his removal is an out? rage on the people, and- will prove ct most se? ? ri'ous loss.to the government, say that, after all, it wilt redound to the ultimate benefit of Sumner. Already cliques are forming here and in New England, which look to his eleva? tion to the Presidency. : * ' ? ? it Is curious to note, by the way, that no. President of late years ever enters the White House with a view to remaining there.a single term only. Grant is busily at work scheming for his re-eleclloh. We see this ia New York by the recent formation or numerous' Grant clubs," and similar organization*, which are intended simply to keep In power the present incumbents ol office. The Tammany Ring is busily at work. Their' programme, as I have lt from Inside sources, ls to Conciliate the Republicans as much as possible, to win over the Republi? can press by judicious disposition gt Wie advertising spoils, and to make a sudden bid for local popularity by retrenching our mu? nicipal expenses, and coming out as the cham? pions of an economical svstem of city expendi? ture. Ai to the candidate Tammany wjll bring forward for Hie Presidency, it- ls of course premature to speculate much. I may say, however, that in the opinion ol many of the leaders, Hoffman is hardly strong-enough; and besides this, the candidate at the last election was a New York *man.

I m cretins; View? and Speculations Tue Prospect of Production-Effect of Emancipation-Will Prices Advance J -What the En?li-iU Spinners Th ink About It-Thc True Policy for thc Planters. The New York Journal of Commerce pub? lishes the following interesting and carefully prepared communication, prelhclnfr lt, how? ever, with a distinct editorial caution to.-the public against pinning its faith too closely to the writer's theory, or any oth?irjheory in re gard to future prices: . . To the Editor o/tl'ie Journal of Commerce : May I ask the privilege of a small place in your columns to express some views-uppn a subject of Importance, directly to aJargtj num? ber of people In this country, and indirectly irr the civilized world? This request has not open-, sooner preferred, because the writer badend wish.to he classed.among those who avail themselv.es ot press privileges for purposes of private gain. But as the Drice of cotton has now'aearly reached'a miiamum. neither of -qs can be reasonably accuseddf viola&irrg duty-' I, in expressing, nor you. In allowing your. journal to become the vehicle of my opinions. The very gradual decline In cotton since thet opening o'f the present season ls due princi? pally to the readiness shown by -English ship? pers to taite it frejely at the prices current from day to day. It ls also partially dye to a peculiar condition or affairs among ourselves, and the conflict of opinion arising therefrom. Early In the season, operators here arraved themselves iuto two parties. On one* side were those who, through interest or convic? tion; or both, operated tor a rise in prices, or fdr a steady market "at figure's remunerative to tne planters. On the other, w.ero the purely speculative, those*wbo, haying no relations with planters,, bought and* sold on their own account. Anitas a rule the latter have be? lieved In a declining market, aud operated ac? cordingly. We all know now to whom the victory belongs, but the ground has teen fought inch by inch, ami planters certainly have BO just grounds of complaint against those to whom their interests were Intrusted. The decline has been by ' sixteenths and eighths; now and again a steady market, ana* sometimes even a rally. And during tftls lime the planters have availed themselves of the opportunity oTpushing off their crops at re? munerative prices-as the receipts to date will abundantly show.. N'ow that the result ls no longer doubtlul, it well behooves us to take a glance at the situa? tion, and endeavor to mark ont a -wise course for the future. That cheap cotton isa great desideratum to the civilized worid at large, perhaps no one will cjeuy; and that the workings of Proyl-. dence aiid Nature is In the direction of In? creasing the comforts of mankind, has come to be a maxim among economists. That those who, lu this country, are engaged in the production of cotton should endeavor to im? pair the bounty ot'Nature, by cramping pro? duction, is, to say the least of it-anomalous. Yet we find many who advise such a course. The late civil war so crippled production, that prices had advanced out of all reason; and capital and labor, tempted by the prospec? tive reward, were largely diverted to Increas? ing production". Now, that production has reached, if not exceeded, all previous limits, and prices have gone back to ante-bellum Ugures-lt becomes us to Inquire about the [inure. Many say that production this year will be contracted by several causes; by the actton-of the planters, who will devote more attention [?-?ood-raising; by the want of means to buy ?iiauo, mules, Implements, pork, Ac,, through die unwillingness of capitalists to make ad- . rances;-by the weather, which they say cannot je expected to continue favorable for four suc? cessive years, ile, ?tc. They therefore flatter hemselves that our crop this year will fall be ow 3,000,000 bales, and UMfeeonsttqitently we may look for a return to.much higher prices han those now prevailing. There ls much bree In all this; bul I have serious doubls ibo?rthe correctness of som? of the premises; ind I know-that the conclusion, even If a'cor rect one, Is um desirable. The history of Cot ou production lor the few years previous io .ire war Is full of valuable information on this Dolnt. Cottdn planters did then what they are ikwly to do again, they proved that they pos? sessed ? trait common to all human nature ,vhen the price per pound was reduced, they ncreased the number of the pounds. And lu this connect ion: permit me to remark hat the real test of -the character of the ne rr?es-?laves no longer-ls now about to be ipplled. Before the war, the white owner ol loth negroes and plantation was the judge of be measure ol economy allowed by the income rom his crem. He regulated uot ouly his own ;xpenses, but those of his negroes, and their lours of laoor. Since .the war, the negroes lave been able, by half work, to earn full sub? sistence. The -high price ol' ootton endbled hem to obtain belter returns for the same mount of labor than perhaps any other peas intrj in the world. As a consequence we lave found them very active In polillos; ?8'cle des" of all kinds.were numeroua.m each dis .rid; the half grown boys and girls divided [heir time between the horn spelling books md .the idleness so industriously circulated md inculcated by the "Bureau;", a lively trade ima iluurislied iu ginger cakes, cheap trjjiu ,i?ry, ys'ciety" badges, cheap caudy, mar? ges, and tvhiskey; the political, religious ind moral outcasts pr our Northern'society lave reaped rich harvests from the tem? porary prosperity of the new-made freedmen; mr professional philanthropists have cacjiled md crowed us almost deaf with their sell uudutlons aud "we-told-you-so*s;" while those ,vho looked below the surface have , waited tod dreaded the condition of affairs which is low at our doors. Whether or not the lre?? uen will accept the situation In the right spirit romulus to be seen: But it is certain hat it will require more labor and economy to ive uuden present prices, Hum under ufo se vhich have prevailed since the war. Aud'fiif her, Hie economical producer of cotton is too tertaln ot'abundant reward to allow us. to sup-' lose l'or a moment that other labor will not ie forthcoming, should the negro not prove ?qu?l io the occasion Let us nope* that the .xampltf of their former owners, In adapting heir conduct to a severe and sudden change. )f circumstance?, will not" be without Its el? ect; and that the teachings-ol. the letf earnest nlssionaries among them- may Induce their ninds to a proper appreciation" of their duty. To return to the subject in hand. It ls not ipparent lo the writer, how, even with,a i,000,000 bale crop this year, we can look for' my marked Increase in price. Stocks have icen, and are, accumulating in India. Crops H Egypt and South America ure reported us iromlsiug well. Tile consumption ot our best iustumers on contiuenul Europe ie seriously nippled. European polilicaus openly admit heir inability much mnger to avoid u'war iver the Eastern question. And that some ol ? hese reason, or all ol them, or others, are ?perallng iu the same direction ou the minds >i others, is made apparent by the course par raed by the spinners ol England. They pro lably look as closely after their own Interest a-3 my other class of.people in the world. And, as i rule, they act in concert. No channel if inibrmatiou is closed to them, uo means eft unemployed to procure it. Among heni ' we find Cabinet ministers; for dgu ambassadors, members of Parliament, fcc., aud perhaps uo other Industry in the vorld bas a greater proportion ol its thinking munbura, travelling abroad. In one capacity md another, each contributing lils quota Lo he geiieral stock of information. Now if they lelieved in higher prices we would see them jutting away heavy slocks of raw and manu aclurod goods for future use. On the contra? ry, we lind them working barely enough mindle* to supply their current trade, keeping heir stocks of raw and uiauulaclured goods lowu to a in'riiimuui, and allowing the capital )f th? consignees of our cotton iu Liverpool md Loudon lo bear the burden of carrying it. It ts fair therefore to conclude that as a class hey believe In low prices lu the Immediate "ulure. Those who have been planting as a specula :ion,-without the requisite experience, and without devollug to the business that care md economy so necessary to success, except luring periods ot inflated values,-will either nave to mend their ways or betake themselves Lo o; irer pursuits.

A Later Season flinn "USual-The Far? mers Returning To Old Customs-A Smull Cotton Crop Probable-Home flatted Meat-Sheep liaising-Poverty and -Dullness or Business. ? The shrewd and well informed Georgia cor? respondent of the New York~Times, writing from Fort Valley, Houston County, under date '5r the 20th ult., says: \ The heavy rains during the past forttrlgirt have- so saturated the ground, swelled the rivers and streams, and injured the roads as to interrupt completely all farming operations" The consequence ls that planting this year will , be later than usual. - Very few have been so fortunate as to have broken up their fand "n tt?e fall, and Blnce Christmas, what with- the .unperformed work ot' picking the cotton crop, land the difficulty- in hiring laborers, and in? ducing Ute m., when hired, lo go to work, the preparation of me soil fer the crops 1B lo a very great extent still to be dene. THE FARMERS MOVING BACKWARD. The great discouragement-the ruling low price ot cotton- and the severe monetary de? pression which has followed, hare tended- in no small degree to make farmers abandon the Im? proved system ol' agriculture, which they Were generally beginning to adopt, and not only have they resolved not to use any commercial ma? nures this year, bul they have also gfven up the use of the subsoil plough and the careful preparation ol the ground, which In 1870 con? tributed quite as much, lu. my opinion, to the .abundant yield as the fertilizers which they used so liberally. It necessarily Involves con? siderable labor, trouble and expense, and a very large increase of mule power to subsoil the corn and cut toe fand even partially. This labor and expense many cannot afford. Even though satlsjfed bf ks advantages-, they are unable lo do* lt. Jrist'as a ccristttrtptrve pauper, whose physician recommends bim to spend the winter in Madeira, may be satisfied that a residence In Funchal would restore" his health, but he is obliged, ex necessitate rei, to make up his mind to -die ia the poorhouse. TnenT again, ethers who were induced to try the fertilizers and subsoiling last .year, in the j belief that chev would make a big crop and-be? come rich by the sale of their cotton, nave" fonndjfcat they made the crop,"birt are poor, and now attribute all the blame to the. ex? pensive fertilizers and preparation of the soft, and are determined to return to the '?old way-" -scratch ploughing and no manure-believ? ing that "more money ls to be m ade'at it" than in the new w av. - Di cooese, t lus. fallacy ol' this reasoning ls apparent, and can be exposed by j any one who wiil take time to think coolly; but it is not the less tnve that th?re are very many who are trying to make themselves be? lieve that they are wise ia returning to the scooter plough, and in refusing to return to the earth a single particle of the fertilising properties ol'which lt has been deprived by. a succession of crops. TUE PROBABLE COTTON YIELD. . Ali this together, late season, imperfect ploughing, no subsoiling and no manure, will necessarily diminish-materially the ?creable yield. The number o'f acreB planted mayne equal to that of last year,-and the amount of labor may be the same, but the crops will be smaller and less remuneran ve. My observa? tion and intormulion confirm me In the belief I that the cotton area wilt be from a third to a hali less than that ol' 1870, and it is a-modera; e calculation that the cotton crup of Georgia, even if the season is propitious, will be. at j least a third less*than this year. My own opinion" ls, that Hie use of fertilizer.-! and sub? soil ploughs doubled* the natural*production lu 1870. Curtail the area of this year, use no manure- and scratch t]ie ground, mid it is easy to see what the result must be." Here and there I find a plauter who has bought.good manures, and ls determined to subsoil every acre he plants, but the votaries of improve? ment are "like angels' visits, few and far be? tween." UOM?-RAISDD MEAT. Since the war, raising hogs enough to pro? vide meat for the plantations has been almost entirely given un as Impossible. Not one in a hundred has- raised hi? own meat since 1865. The reason generally given was that the dis? honesty ol' the negroes rendered-it impossible to-raise hogs profitably. Hired iu a majority ol cases lor a share of the crop, and to pay for their own provisions, some of them dimin? ished their expenses by killing planters' hogs wherever found. It has been the practice of j planters to allow their hogs to range in their woods and uncultivated lauds, and they are seldom taken up and counted uptli the time comes to put thurn pp to fatten. Tn this way, ihoae who desired to steal had every opportu? nity to supply their larders without having any. butcher's* bill to pay. .Now that money has become so scarce thal provisions cannot be bought rn ilie Western markets, and now fhat factors and commission merchants can no longer make advances even at two and a half J percent, a month, the only thing to be done is lo raise meat at home, and already I find many of my acquaintances taking steps to do so. It will bc au. immense saving, and will cost but little trouble. SHEEP RAISING.

The Merld?-?-/Mississippi) Gazette of Tdes day, March 7, gives the following details of the violent seerfes at that place hr re tofo re noticed In our fllspatcnes: T?M?t?B?fCJ" A>T) AUSON. Saturday afternoon Billy Clopton had his thin "brigade of negro mill rta In arms and para? ded the streets'M ueual. Billy was extremely, abusive towards-the oloee of the militia, exer? cises, and declared that with one hundred men he could annihilate a thousand white men that the wWt - . were afraid of the negroes and he*WQnW have his way in. Meridian. He was not Interfered with or molested. When tte dre broke out, that same scoundrel was on hand thanking God tue rebels'property was burning, and praying that the ?ames would consume every building In the city. He drew a pistol on a-man who remonstrated and would nave killed him, but tor the iasenference of a friendly negro. While marching up the street in front of (lie fire with pistol In hand, cursing . rebels and gloating over their mislortnnes, he was suddenly and very unexpectedly knocked down, disarmed, and left to.colored comrades,** who carried him out of the crowd, when he beat a h a* ty retreat for home. About this time, while the fire was raging; and our citi? zen? struggling to arrest it- anti sa*? a little of their property, the bell of the African anarch, pealed forth the usual signal for toe; negroes* to repair lhere. ' This was moretbau our -peo? ple coekf stand-, and a compro^ was at om? formed ana marched to tho .residence o? the/ sheriff, where a tender was made of the posse and a request made lor tho arrest sf Bliiy Clopton. The sheriff seat his -e*sputy. Mr. Bela, ia charge of the posse and arrested Clo.p ton and placed him under guard In the court? house. The turbule?fthreata of th? negr??s and their white allies called the citizens to? gether agata Sunday afternoon and evening, when one hundred men volunteered to . vln-ii cate the majesty of the law and crash lawless? ness, no matter whence It night coate. The town was well nottoed on Sunday night and a strong guard ol citizens kept over Clopton' to see that he was neither rescued nor molesten. Toe negroes did not carry out their threats; . flie flrrMiend no .longer darted attn wart th? sky, and-the constant and promiscuous shoot ?n?, which has alarmed women and children for months,'ceased. One squad of arrflerl negroes was dispersed ? ed sent home, and the night, passed in maastahiae, balm and peace, Yesterday morning there was an, immense mass meeting at the court? house to devise ways and means for keeping peace and giving repose to the cc*m munity. The meeting was large and enttmsi asile, ?he largest probably ever held in Meri? dian; over five hundred persons Were present;, all classes' were- represented there, and all crimes- Northam and Southern men clasped, hands In the d?lib?rations. The speeches wef e pacific and pointed, and arrowed that the white people bi Meridian bave-at test determined to cheek the mad and di-TtnifrlTf* wr-rs ti tjpa bad negroes and their white Conleoerates.. Theauroceedings will be found elsewhere. In the afternoon, the case of BlHy Clepton-, Aaron Moore and Warren Tyler came beiere Justice Bramlette. Captains Evans and Ford repre? sented the State, and Mayor bturges his black friends. The examination ls not concluded at thts time. The testimony show? that these negroes, in their -meeting on Saturday,'made very lnfls*mmatory speeches. Warren Tyler, in stepping upon the rostrum, placed his pis? tol on tbe taine. Aaron rsnrmdecr his hearers of the fate of Sodom and ?Gomorrah,. and spoke of what might be the fate of Meridian. Other negroes, spoke of the possibility of the town being "reduced toasbes. That very rflprrit the band of the Incendiary reduced to ashes seventy-flve.tuousand dollars' worth of proper? ty in Meridian. . THE COyRTHOUSJ* TRAGEDY. Meridian has been the .scene ot ohe of the most horrible tragedies that ever occurred In a civilized community. While the e*amlrra tion-ot the witnesses in the case of the Staus vs. William-Clopton and other negroes,' charg? ed with riotous conduct on Saturday night at the time of the fire, was progressing, ' Mr. Brantley deposed as to some remarks Warren Tyler had made about the white people. He was interrupted in a very.rpde and ahgry manner by tyler, who, lt appears, Was-arm?d with two pistols, and who was one of tire de? fendants in .the case. Tyler stated that he would impeach Brantley's testimony, for wjilch Brantley raised a cane and advanced to Within eight or ten met of him. At thts Juncture General Patten, city marshal, caught Brantley and held him. While he was thus held Tyler drew a repeater" and commenced firing at Brantley. At the first fire Judge Bramlette was shot through the head and ms tan tl y Kill? ed. The room was crowded with white and black, who were attending th? trial, and as great excitement was prevailing, an indis? criminate firing commenced, in which Winiam. Clopton and a negro named Gus Ford were killed, and several persons, white and black? wounded. Alter firing several shots, Tyler jumped wit of the window of-the court-room, which,, was lu the second story bf the Sheehan building, and ran up Sydney street. As soon as it was known that he had killed Judge Bramjette, he was pursued, and, on refusing to surrender,, was Instantly killed. Tyler fired-a number ot shots at thu parlies in pursuit of him, and re? sisted his capture until the very last * Judge Bramlette was a -man universally loved and respected. He had".bean Judge ot probate, -and was at the time of his death Jus? tice of the peace'and a member of the board of aldermen. . Clopton and Tyler were turbulent and disor? derly negroes who have been-stirring up strlle In this commuait,/ for thelast two years. Their greatest desire seemed to be to stir np enmity between the races and do- all the mischief In tbeir.power. i-Hifiu^lanxsTos. QH, YES! OH, YES! OH, YES !
