VOLLME XI.-NUMBER 1774. CHARLESTON, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER I, 1871. THE COTTON QUESTION. -ly ENGLISH rtEW-SUPPLT, CON? SUMPTION ASD PRICES. Thc Late*t Liverpool Circular of Smith, Edwardo o> Co. The following extracts from tee cotton cir-1 cular of Mesara. Smith, Edwards Jt Co., of L" ?erpool, dated August 31, are full of interest for our people : The prospects of our market are at present associated la a very cbae degree with the pro? gress of the American crop and the opinions entertained regarding its condition. The late unfavorable rumors hare revived the anxiety of the trade, and they look with uneasiness upon our fast diminishing stock, and are ex? tremely sensitive to all news reaching us from America. There ls no doubt that public opin? ion has lately veered round a little upon the subject of the growing crop. During July and most ot August no weather accounts reached us, except such as were highly favora? ble, and tbe Idea became prevalent on both sides of the Atlantic that the great damage ?undoubtedly done in May and June was al? most repaired, and that the crop was really flourishing. The large decrease in the area planted, of which we heard so much in June, retreated Into the background; estimates of | the probable or possible yield kept steadily ad? vancing, till 3 J to 3 J millions became perhaps the favorite figure. Of late there have been several less favora? ble accounts. The worm has made its ap? pearance in some of the cotton States, and travellers recently returned report that the plant is small and backward, and that tbe yield cannot possibly equal or nearly equal the acreable product of last year. They fur i ther report the reduced area is fully as large as was stated early in the season, and lead us to believe that a very heavy reduction on last year's crop ls a certainty-probably a million of bales, or about twenty-five per cent. There are others again who stoutly resist this view, and hold that the crop is doing very well upon the whole, and speak ol' even 4,000,00? aa pos? sible, ii the picking season is as fine as last year, and three millions and three quarters as quite probable. We ara sorry to say that our judgment upon the whole does not incline to the more favora? ble view. Tbe various Information put before us points in the direction of a short crop. We are convinced that there is a very considera? ble decrease in area under colton, and we do do think the condition of the plant is nearly as good as il was at this time last year. Our view i tbat lt will need a -ery good season hence? forth to give a crop of three and a half mil? lions, and should there be a bad picking sea , or serious damage from worms, the posl a would be a very critical one. We do not jink that much barm as yet has been done from worms, nor do we think that the condi? tion bas altered materially for the worst during the past fortnight; but we are not of opinion that lhere ever was reason to take a very fa? vorable view of the crop, and we fear that the y-effect of the good weather was somewhat ex? aggerated. Meara while our consumption goes on un? checked, and lt runs so heavily and persist? ently upon American that it is a matter of cer? tainty we will be pinched during October and November. Indeed, it ls Impossible that the trade can long continue their present con? sumption of about 53,000 bales weekly of that description, for if the total deliveries, includ? ing export, from now to the end of the year are kept down to 30,000 bales per week, there cannot be 100,000 bales In stock during No? vember. This raises the question of stocks held ! by the trade, which was so much discussed some time ago, and we are eusbled to lay be? t?re our readers a statement on that subject that may prove interesting. About the cuddle of August we had Inquiries made at all the Im? portant manuiacturing towns, and returns ob? tained of the quantities of cotton held at the ?Arriera1 dopota, and we found that the total was 108,000 bale?, or which 45,000 bales were held in Manchester. If ta this be added about 20.000 bales as a rough esttmate of the many small points where there are a tew scat? tered mills trom which we could not obtain returns, we may estimate with tolerable exact? ness that the total amount held by the trade, exclusive of what is at their mills, is about 130,000 bales, or a little over two weeks' con? sumption. We look upon this as the surplus stock, allowing what is kept at the mills as a fair working stock, and the quantity is certain? ly less than was generally imagined, and proves that the consumption has been ex? tremely large. At one time we thought 58,000 bales a week a full estimate, but we think it must have rather exceeded that figure, and as yet there ls no sign of abatement, but rather the opposite, as new machinery ls being fast put up. It ls evident, therefore, that consumption has overtaken supply this year in a way that seems scarcely credible, and notwithstanding that ?. Europe will receive a surplus of more than a million bales over 1870, there will apparently be hardly any surplus stock visible in England, and not much on the continent, at the end of the year. The argument, therefore, Jumps to the lips of every one, how can the consump- { tlon be supplied next year li the American crop is three-quarters ot a million less ? And it is difficult to answer it, except by granting that consumption must be somewhat restrict? ed by high prices. At the same time It must bo borne In mind that the continent will not have the same absorbing power next year. An immense vacuum bad to be filled up this year. All the stocks, both at the mills and commer? cial depots, were run out at the beginning ot the year, and these have been most amply re? plenished, so that only actual consumption must be fed next year. Our own spin? ners and those in America are also un? usually well stocked, and some portion of ? those stocks will no doubt be carried into next year, and if American cotton is to rule at 9a lOd. per pound, In place ot 7aSd:, there will be various little enconomles practiced, which can scarcely be specified in detail, but which tell in the aggregate. Altogether, we are in? clined to belie v o that a crop ot three anda half millions wat carry us tn rough next sea? son without severe scarcity, though at a pret? ty high level ot price; should the crap unfor? tunately fall below that, there will be considera? ble annoyance to ihe trade, and probably lor some time dangerously high prices, and lt ls much to be hoped in the interests of sound trade that there will be a favorable picking season, and no additional cause of uneasi? ness. Surat cotton keeps relatively cheap, and it will likely do so for a good while yet; for spin? ners will orly resort to it slowly and reluctant? ly as they are driven off .American from Its dearness. It is probable that most spinners will pay an extra price for American for two or ihree months rather than impair the present high quality of their yarn or rtsk trouble with their operatives. Later in the year we mav expect some revival of export demand, and this will help to carry off the liberal supply of I East India cotton we will have on the market [ the next iwo or three months.

Russia and Prussia-A Startling Pro? gramme of Conquest-How tiley were to Divide Europe, LONDON, September 14. The following are the principal conditions of I the treaty made between Russia and Prussia, at Versailles, early in this year. Should war involve Austria, by intervention or otherwise, P jada was to act with Germany, furnishing a specified number ot troops and ships. The powers were to make peace only on the fol? lowing terms : Austria was to renounce in favor of Germany all Bohemia, Moravia, Sile? sia, and the Duchy of Salzburg. Austria was to renounce in tavor ot Russia the provinces ot Gallicia and Dalmatia. When those changes became accomplished tacts, Russia was to cede to Germany five towns and harbors on the Baltic Sea, and a part of Courland, and Prussia was to regard the treaty of Paris null, pledge herself to armed participation to con? quests in the East, with a force equal to Rus? sia, and to a subsequent partition of conquer? ed territory. Russia was fooled, as was France in 1866. The bullion in the Bank of England de? creased over haifa million pounds. There was a case of cholera at New Castle. An unknown American brig foundered off the Landsend. Ail were lost. Dispatches from various points show that the cholera is dreadful in the central and southern portions of Prussia. The associated employers of New Castle have 4116 men working, with constant addi? tions, and will soon restore the former activity to the factories. VERSAILLES, September 14. In the Assembly to-day a message from Pres? ident Thiers was read. Thiers says the mem? bers have well earned a suspension of their ar? duous labors. He promises, in the meantime, to work incessantly for the reorganization of the country, and frankly asks the deputies to ascertain from their constituents at home whether the country wishes for recon? struction based on the clorions tra? ditions of a thousand years, or for the abandonment ot the ship of State to the lortent leading to an unknown future. In brief, whether the people want a monarchy or a republic. The message was coolly received, and some passages were greeted with laugh? ter. The Assembly then proceeded to discuss, and finally adopted, a bill provldlnz for the prorogation of the session from 17th Septem? ber until 4th December. The main feature of the bill is the appointment of a committee of J twenty-five to control the government during the recess. The conference regarding customs is pro ?tressing between Germany and France, and it B thought that concessions will secure the evacuation of all but Blx departments. PARIS, September 14.

The War and Treasury Departments are en? deavoring to shift the responsibility tor the Hodge defalcation. Major Hodge, in a letter to the Secretary of War, confessing the defal? cation, as mentioned Inyesterday*s dispatches, Implicates a New York banking house, who, be charges, knew that the money he furnished for speculations was government funds. He does not name the firm. He admits his de? falcation to be $450,000, and asks tor leniency and a small provision tor his family. He ha about $50,000 worth ot property.

They say that there is too much Ku Klux.sm in Newberry, that the old commissioners resigned, and that the election was carried by intimidation-all of which, the Herald says, is false. THE WEATHER AXD THE CROPS. Newberry. The Herald says : " Farmers are picking cot? ton as fast a: it opens, but not with the vim that a better prospect woula give them. The fact ls evident that the crop will be light, per? haps a half, some say less. Some fields after first picking, it ls said, need not be gone over again, the rains having caused a shed. ' The seasons are fine now for everything but cot? ton. More rain ls falling. Notwithstanding the probable short crop of cotton, we believe that there will be more money in the county this fall than there was the last, and that it will be more freely spent. And the reason is ?ilaln : last year farmers were in debt largely br fertilizers ; (his year they have used but little, and that in most cases was paid for in cash, and likewise have they been paying pretty generally, we believe, all through the year, for the supplies needed for farm opera? tions. Therefore we maintain they will be bet ter off even with their short crop, and we look for a lively trade this fall." Darlington. The Southerner says : " Our farmers, avail lng themselves of the unusually fine weather, are busily engaged in picking cotton and pre? paring it for market. They expect to get the most of the crop in by the first of November, and should the fine weather continue a large amount will be ready for sale within the next two or three weeks. The prevailing estimate ot the cotton crop puts it at one-half, but as it ls rapidly opening, thc sales ot the next two months will probably be as heavy as those of the corresponding months of last year." THE WEATHER THIS DAT. WASHINGTON*, september 14. Rain and threatening weather, with increas? ing northeasterly winds, will probable extend to-night to Lake Superior and New York, and prevail In New England by Friday night. The light rains will probably be followed by clear? ing weather in the Southern and Gulf States. Yesterday'? Weather Reports or th? Signal Service, I. S. A.-4.47 P. M., Local Time. Place of I j ?

MAYOR HALL DEMANDS CONNOLLY'S RESIGNATION-A TART REPLY. The Mysterious Robbery of the Comp? troller's Office. The crisis of the New York City ring seems to be approaching. The mysterious "rob? bery" of the comptroller's office, heretofore reported ; the missing vouchers of 1870, and the suspicion that the "robbery" was after ul not a robbery, but a bold expedient to defeat the ends of justice-all tend to basten the denouement. We give below :he tull correspondence between Mayor Hall ind Comptroller Connolly, already briefly re? ported by telegraph : CONNOLLY REQUESTED TO RESIGN. Late Monday night the following official let? ter, dated at the Mayor's office tbe same even ,ng, was sent by Mayor Hall to Comptroller H. B. Connolly, asking that official to resign. The Mayor says : "I have just been informed by the superln :endent of police that late last night the offices }f the finance department were secretly in? vaded, and that as a consequence thereof valu? able vouchers, evidences ot payment, and can jelled warrants, together representing a large imount of discharged city liabilities, are alleg? ed by some of your subordinates to have then iiappeared. The superintendent and the Mayor immediately had a full conversation re? garding the means of investigating the unto? ward circumstances of the alleged burglary, ind so as to punish the guilty, procure res? olution ot such papers as may have been aken, and protect the Interests ot the city, our jonstltuents -"111 have a right to hold you responsible, and in a measure withhold from ;he finance department desirable public confi lence. It is impc ?Bible not to perceive that he city credit will fitter, and in a very ci i Heal )eriod of the miiLiclpal government. With rreat personal reluctance I officially reached he conclusion that the exigency demands ..our retirement from the head of the finance lepartment, that I may place there another gentleman who will be enabled to thoroughly nveBtlgate its affairs and restore public I ?onfidence. I cannot suspend any bead of | i department, not even pending an lnvestt lon. I can only prefer charges to the Com non Pleas, who alone can remove after a con ?Iderable time for trial. I am compelled to brow myself, therefore, as mayor, in this un? expected and sudden emergency, upou your nagnanimity, and ask, under the circumstan :es, for your resignation. "A. OAKEY HALL, Mayor." COMPTROLLER CONNOLLY DECLINES. The following reply of Comptroller Connolly, lated September 12, addressed to Mayor Hall, vas duly forwarded to Mr. Hall : "Your letter of September 11th, asking my ?esignation as comptroller, was presented to ne last night, at ll o'clock, at an interview lought by myself. Similar verbal requests, rom yourselt and others, have been, within he last few weeks, received and declined. The official source and subject matter of your iou?, as then read ta me, and as published by rou in this morning's press, demanded and has 'eceived my earnest consideration. "A criminal abstraction of papers from the inance department seems io be Hie reason for rour letter, so far as any is therein suggested, u common with other city officers, I now stand >etore the public and our 'constituency' charg ?d with malfeasance in the administration of ligh trusts so long confided to my care, ["he legal proceedings wherein such charges ire made, and to be substantiated, If at all, s now on hearing before a tearless and ust tribunal. My answer thereto ls before he public, and my complete defence ready o be presented both lo that high court, our constituents,' and to the citizens of New fork at large. My counsel has urged, by By wish, a speedy trial and rigid Investiga ion. I am fearless ot'the result and anxious or the procedure. During the many years of | ny administration of this office, I have not ieen, and fail now to see, any diminution of nibllc confidence; and such a Met would have ieen readily remarked-nothing being more ensitire to general opinion than financial ad ninlstration. I beg leave to 'differ from your ionor in thinking the robbery of my office ?reates any 'unexpected or sudden emer? gency.' I am not apprehensive that ?lther yourself or this community will uspect that I am an accomplice in that le predation. I am happy to asaure you that t has effected no serious mischief-the archives if the department contain abstracts of the tolen papers.

"My official acts have been supervised and pproved by your superior vigilance. So far s my administration ls questioned, equal re ponsibility attaches to yourself.

Consequently, I do not perceive why my resig? nation should be asked, or how, if I tendered :, it would have any Just influence in appeas ig popular clamor. "Confident, therefore, in the steadfast good pinion of friends, and in the ultimate juds lent to be rendered by the courts, I cannot onslstently, with self-respect, accede to your esire. I am unable to submit myself as a j acarious sacritice to satisfy the hungry appe? lle of adversaries for a victim, or, at this .inclure, and under these peculiar circum tances, betray weakness of position or fear of ayestigation by tendering my resignation. "I cannot now anticipate the effect upon ihe eterminatlon of future effort?.

In the early au? tumn the quicksilver sometimes rises as high dur? ing the day aa in the most fervid summer weather; while at u lg tu it orten sinks to an almoBt wintry point. The human body not being made or steel or India rubber, sensibly reels these tremendous changes. To rortiry the system sgalnst them, a genuine tonis ls required; and the public has long since discovered that among this description or medicines HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS ls infinitely the best. It gently quickens the circu? lation, regulates the bowels, tones the liver, bra? ces the nerves, and thus puts the whole physique on Its defence against the vicissitudes of tempe? rature In our climate.

That homely blt or proverbial philosophy, that "prevention ls better than cure,"' should be especially borne In mind In the autumn months; and Indeed in all seasons, together with the fact that, among all the preventives or mala? rious disease, Hoste? r's Stomach Bitters is the most safe and potent.
