fSPECIAi. TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS ]
COLUMBIA, November 20.
The members of the Legislature are begin?
ning to make their appearance. The rest of
the political buzzards, In the shape of commit?
tee-clerks and lobbyists, are rapidly gathering
together, and scores of hungry-looking faces
that have been missed all the Bummer may
now be seen daily flitting through the corri?
dors of the new Statehouse. The Legislative
investigating committee, headed by Upholster?
er Dennis, are expected here this week, but
nobody seems to know what is to be the re?
sult of their arduous researches. In fact ?
studied reserve prevails everywhere arnon?
the black and white Solous, as we'l as am-ng
thhState officials and their little army of und.,
strappers.
The report that any national bank in this
city has been affected *>y the tumble of State
bonds ls without foundation. Doubtless in
many cases individuals connected with the
banks have suffered heavy losses by the decline,
but the banks themselves have been in no wise
affected. They have not been dealing In this
class of securities. Depositors in the country
have, therefore, no reason to be alarmed.
There were a few more arrests In Chester
to-day.
THE FINANCIAL CRISIS.
Views or the Hon. A. P. Aldrich.
THE OAKS, BARNWELL, S. C., j
November 14,1871. j
To the Son. James Chesnut, Chairman of the
Executive Committee Taxpayers' Conven
tion : '
Mr DEAR SIR-The startling reports and
publications as to the desperate condition of
the financial affairs ot the State, Induce me, as
a member ol the executive committee of the
Taxpayers' Convention, to address you as Its
chairman. That committee, as you know,
with the president of the convention, the Hon
Mr. Porter, ls charged with the otTty of calling
the convention together, when, in their opin?
ion, the Interests of the taxpayers may de?
mand lt. I think the late developments Impose
upon us the duty ot considering that proposi?
tion.
On the 8th of April last. In anticipation of
th? meeting of the convention, I prepared the
leading article of the Barnwell Sentinel, our
county paper; lu which I advised the policy of
not paying the taxes. At our county meeting,
to appoint delegates to the convention, I In?
troduced a resolution to the same effect, which
was adopted by the meeting. When the con?
vention was organized and the committees ap?
pointed, you will remember, I submitted the
same proposition to our committee, with a
view to obtain Its Judgment. Governor Scott
and, I think, all the executive officers of the
State appeared to be in perfect accord with
the representative men of the State then In
Columbia as delegates to the Taxpayer^'LOflBr
ventjon. They not only expRBSea a willing
nesChul anxiety, to give all the Information
required, a perfect acquiescence in a full in?
vestigation, and a desire to co-operate in any
jjol&n of retrenchment and economy that would
preserve the credit of the State and lighten
the burdens ot the taxpayers.
Uuder these circumstances, the committee,
as I think wisely, th":, determined not to act
on my resolution, and while they vere not
disposed to express any doubts as to toe good
falta of Governor Scott and his heads of de
{lartments, thought lt wise to retain the reso
utlon and to recommend that the convention
adjourn, subject to the call, of the president
and the executive committee. I think the
time has arrived to consider that proposition.
It gives me pleasure to see that THE
CHARLESTON NEWS has adopted this sugges?
tion, viz : to infuse to pay the taxes. In other
words, to withhold Its supplies, and thus stop
L the wheels of government. By the most fa
Lvorable statement that can be made, the pre?
sent State officers have received and appro
Erlated, not to use ' harsher word,
onds issued.$11,204,000.00
Taxes collected. 5,722,809.00
Grand total.$17,926,809 00
6 These figures are taken from Governor
Scott's CArd, and a publication In THE NEWS,
as to .the taxes, eollated, I suppose, from the
Legislative records. They omit, as you will
observe, every disputed Item, and there ls no
escaping them. I take lt for granted, there?
fore, that the Governor and the party journals
will not dispute that this ls the net amount
which these bad men, who ht?ve had con?
trol of the State for the last three years,
have drawn from an oppressed and impov?
erished people, to say nothing ot railroad
spoliations and the Issue of bonds, charged In
the papers.
Governor Scott promised the Taxpayers'
Convention that the second tax ordered to be
collected this year, should not be called In be?
fore the 1st of March, 1872. But there ls not a
dollar In the treasury, and the exposure of the
frauds practiced In New York, as to the bonds,
has so utterly prostrated the credit of the
State, that no more money can be raised
there. Under this condition, lt ls said, Gov?
ernor Scott has determined to forfeit his
pledge tor an extension of time, and to require
the taxes to be paid promptly. The necessi?
ties of the State compel him to this course.
There is not a dollar to carry on the State go r
ernment; State officers, Judges, juries and con?
stables cannot be paid, unless the taxes be
collected, to say nothing of school teachers
and other honest claimants. So that the
whole machinery ot government must stop.
Kow this, in my Judgment, 1B the very con
Sjr. on ?tost to be desired, because lt will open
fe eyes of the deluded supporters of these
men, to the character of the unworthy adven?
turers who have so long decelvta them, rob?
in- " the State, and have so cruelly and shame?
fully squandered the hard earnings of this op?
pressed people.
In view or our present mortifying and dls
tr&ised condition, I renew my proposition of
las. spring, not to pay the taxes. But as such
a clan of action cannot be carried out with
unanimity and concert of design, lt will be
necessary for the convention to meet and per?
fect the details, so that every taxpayer will
not only have tts moral support, but be in?
structed as to the mode of operation. Hence,
I address this note to you through the news?
papers, in order to Invite attention, elicit dis?
cussion, and prepare the public mind for the
cheerful reception of any scheme that may be
prepared for adoption. Let us see how
this plan will work. The state government
is at a dead I ck. It has not a dollar In the
treasury, and no credit In New York, or
any other financial centre. Money is ab?
solutely necessary to carry lt on. Money
cannot be had, except by collecting the
taxed. If the taxpayers, with unanimity, de?
termine not to pay the taxes, where are they ?
What will they do ? What can they do ? Ab?
solutely nothing ! And it does seem to me, li
we put our heads together lor a patriotic pur?
pose, some legal process may be invented by
which this whole sickening scheme of fraud
and robbery will be exposed, and the eyes of
the deluded victims of there people opened.
For let them slander us as they will, you and
I, and every gentleman slaveholder in the
South feel a deep spmpathy for these people.
We were born and raised with them; we In?
herited them; our children played with them;
and lt ls our duty, our Interest, as well as our
Inclination, to save them. ,
I am aware tb it a dreadful timidity oppresses
our people, not personal tear, for of that they
are Incapable, but the fear of Grant's cohorts,
the Jail, under the provisions ol the Ku-Klux
bill, and the consequent want and distress to
.their families. This ls the terrible nightmare
pthat weighs them down, and we are not the only
people lu history who have suffered so great a
calamity. We must look this thing right lull
in the face; the alternative presented to us is
the confiscation of our lands, all that we have
left. This involves the support of our wives
and children, and a resolute, manly determi?
nation to expose these thieves and bring them
to Justice. What these robbers lu Columbia
and elsewhere about the State want ls money,
not lands and houses; they cannot get ou
without money, and if the taxpayers withhold
the taxes the crash is Inevitable. But say
some taxpayers who eau make a shift to pay
their taxes, our lands and houses will be Bold
and our business ruined. Others say we will be
proclaimed to be in rebellion, and troops
be sent here as lu the upper counties. Now,
if all agree not to pay the taxes, all will agree
not to buy the property levied on for taxes.
That disposes ot every taxpayer in the State
as a bidder. But, say some timid ones, the
negroes will buy. Suppose they do; what
barm it they pay the lull value of the land ?
The moment they become landed proprietors
and taxpayers their Interest ls Identified with
ours. But where will the negroes get the
money to p. j their bids ? ?nd surely no tax?
payer whose land is advertised fdr taxes will
allow it to be knocked down for less than Its
value. But the State will buy lt. 8uppose it
does, will that put a dollar la the treasury ?
And I have already shown it is money, net
lands and houses, that the State needs In this
emergency. But, says another, speculators
will Buy. Wliat speculators? The taxpay?
ers will not bid. We have been offering
our lauds fer sale since the war, and can
find no buyers. Besides, speculators will
aot buy the bonds ot the State at forty
cents on the dollar, and lands and houses
lu au insolvent State, taxed to death, are not
au inviting investment. So that lt comes to
this, if the property of the taxpayers be put
up for sale, not a single taxpayer will be a
bidder, the proprietor will run lt to its tull
value, (but here comes lu timidity with an?
other suggestion, hts bid will not be cried,
some friend caa bid for him,) if a speculator
buys it he will pay his money and the default?
ing taxpayer has made a good sale of his land
and brought capital Into the State. Does any
taxpayer object to selling his land for its tull
value to a purchaser wno will pay him his
money and pay the taxes next year? It the
State buys lt she will be ia the same predica?
ment with the defaulting taxpayer-have no
money to pay her bid. Is there any danger or
loss In this? Is lt resisting the government'
?s lt a rebellion that will call for the enforce
aent ol the Ku-Klux bill? I do not see lt.
One more suggestion, at the risk of being
tedious. This collapse will expose to our col?
ored people the utter unworthiness of the mea
who nave heretofore led and cheated them.
We must take advantage of lt. It IB the way
God has opened for us to escape Ihis terrible
thraldom. All who own lauds need labor.
The best labor for us, la the world, ls aegro
labor. If the foreigner was as good or better,
lt will take years to tura the tide of immigra?
tion. We are aot la a condition to wait; we
are compelled to work from year to year to
escape starvation. The white oeople of this
State never have been unfriendly to the negro
-cay, they are the best and only true friends
they have la the world. It ls their Inclination
and their duty to make him aa intelligent,
useful laborer. If we gala their confidence
this caa be done. Is it practicable ? I think
it ls, but difficult after the previous teach?
ing to which they have been subjected,
and to which they are now exposed.
Let every landed proprietor In the
State who has a surplus of land, agree .to Bell,
or lease on long time, forty or fifty acres of his
land to our negro laborers on the condition
that the purchaser or lessee will give him so
many days work ia the week for the rent, or
the purchase money. This is the general out?
line. I have aot time or inclination to go
lato the details, but lt will give us the most
contented peasantry and laboring class ia the
world. Confidence would be re-established,
the influence of the carpet-bagger aad scala?
wag destroyed and good government restored.
Let toe convention reassemble aad counsel
the people to a manly, peaceful assertion of
their rights aad duties. Ia the meantime let
the newspapers of the State discuss this mat?
ter calmly and intelligently.
I am, with sincere esteem, yours truly,
A. P. ALRICH.
THE ARRESTS O' UNIOS.
Terrible Condition of th? County-A
Dismal Outlook.
[From the Union Times.]
Since our last Issue, the following gentlemen
have been arrested and are now confined la
the courthouse: Dr. J. N. Moore, Nevil Haw?
kins, C. Hawkins aad Isaac Trammel. Dr.
Moore, who is undoubtedly one of the most
?uiet, gentlemanly and honorable men in the
tate, was arrested upon the affidavit of a
negro, who had seen him ride out to visit his
patients, one cold wet night, with the hood
attached to his India-rubber overcoat over his
head. Most of the other prisoners here were
arrested under iffldavlts of 8. T. Polo 1er aad F.
E. Bay, charging them with riotous conduct in
the streets ot Union while those mea were
here, more than a year ago.
The result of the present state of affairs ia
this couaty will inevitably briog great suffer?
ing aad want upon the colored people next
year. Already, ia consequence of arrests and
flights, a sufficient number of white land
owners aad employers nave left farms
whereon at least two hundred laborers are
employed this year. These farms will
not be cultivated next year, while ali
the necessary animals, Implements, Ac, em?
ployed upon them must be sold out of the
county, for but few In lt will be able to buy
them. Without horses or mules, Implements
or food, and with no money or credit to buy
these Indispensables for making a crop, the
negroes will be compelled to resort to ene of
two plans-robbing and stealing, or leave the
county. The food crop of this county, lu the
aggregate, ls not sufficient to last over six
months, aad as the negroes own but a very
email share of lt we cannot see what these
misguided people are to do. Truly will they
say, ,lsave us from o>:r frieads."
A JAIL DELIVERY.
Five Prisoners Escape-Only One Re?
captured.
[From the Marlboro? Times.]
On last Tuesday afternoon there was another
general Jail delivery In this place, the prison?
ers confined Ia Jail, five ia cumber, breaking
out aud making for the creek Just ia rear of
the Jail. Their names are as follows: Allison
Jacobs, And-ew Blue, Walter Harrington,
Florence Si. ?mg and Anthony David. Ot
these, the two last named, Florence 8trong and
Anthony David, were recaptured; the others
made good their escape. The escape of the
prisoners ls owing to the tact that two ot them
were allowed the freedom of the Jail passage,
and the sheriffs son, going up lato the pas?
sage, without any one with him to lock the
passage door behind him, these two overpow?
ered aim, and released the others, when all
hands made for the creek. Instant pursuit
was made. Florence Stroag, a maa, and not
a woman as his name would indicate, was re?
taken before he got out of the Jail yard; An?
thony David was recaptured after having got?
ten some distance la the creek, by Jasper
Easterllng, sou ol the sheriff; and the other?,
as already stated, effected their escape. We
think lt nothing more than a simple act of jus
I tice to Jasper Easterllng to say that he acted
[ well, aad core hlmselt bravely ia the affair,
pursuing, capturing and bringing bock a man
i much larger than ""himself, and this, too, not?
withstanding the fact that his own arm had
been severely injured in the first struggle in
the jail. bo
HUSBAND'S LIABILITY; FOR WIFE'S BILLS.
Au action was decided ia Philadelphia, Wed?
nesday, by Judge Thayer, in favor ot a hus?
band who had bees sued by a dry goods firm
tor the amount of a bill run up by his wile
Belence set up that detendaut furnished his
wife with au ample supply ot necessaries. In
the course of his charge. Judge Thayer said:
'.It ls a false aud foolish notion for tradespeo?
ple to entertain that a husband ls bound to
pay all bills contracted by his wife. No
such monstrous doctrine u allowed In the
law. Tradesmen must ascertain the facts
and the true relations of man and
wife before allowing the latter to run
up bills which he ls to be looked to to pay."
Commenting upon this exposition of law,
which ought to be more familiar than lt is, the
Philadelphia Record thinks teat wheo trades?
people come to distinctly understand it "a
very sensible step will have boen accomplish?
ed towards reform la the wanton extrava?
gance and ruinous folly which, under the
meretricious Impulse of the stupid despot
called 'fashion,' so wastes the substance,
mars the manners, deforms the persons, de?
grades the morals and wrecks the happiness
ot myriad households and Individuals, aot
oaly la this community, but throughout the
country."
THE OPEN POLAR SEA.
REPORT OF LIEUTENANT PATER OF
THE GERMAN EXPEDITION.
The Best Route to the North Pole.
The Geographical and Statistical Society of
Frankfort-on the-Maln has received a report
from Lieutenant Julius Payer, one of the two
leaders of the German expedition to the North
Pole. It ls dated "October i, from the Nor?
wegian coast, on board the ship Harald Haar
fage," and presents some new lacts ol very
great interest. After some introductory re?
marks, the report goes on to say:
The preliminary expedition for the explora?
tion of the sea between Spitzbergen and Nova
Zembla, which ls to be followed next year by
an expedition of greater magnitude, has
achieved a very unexpected result, one which
ls opposed to all previous calculations. The
reason why the prie ci pal object of the expedi?
tion-viz: The exploration, of King Earl's
Land-has not and could not be consistently
carried out will be explained to you by Naval
Lieutenant Weyprecht personally. As an off?
set against this failure there appears, how?
ever, the discovery of an ex ced sire open polar
sea in place of the unknown waters, which
were formerly considered unnavigable. The
Russians, the Swedes and even the German
expedition of 1868, vainly attempted to pene?
trate even as tar as the southern part or this
polar sea. But the result now obtained ls cal?
culated to give a different turn to the whole
polar question, and to create a new basis for
the exploration of the North Pole.
WHY THE FORSTER UK RM AN EXPEDITION FAILED.
It ls very much to be regretted that the great
German North Polar expedition ol I86'J-70 did
not take this route, through the Bea ol Nova
Zembla, as it was originally pointed out by Dr.
Petermann, who declared lt to be the best
route lor penetrating Into the heart o? the
Polar basin.
In spite of the (act that the highest authori?
ties hav? hitherto decidedly opposed every
route east of Spitzbergen, and that the numer?
ous Russian expedition during the present
century have not even been able to Ball round
the northern part of Nova Z-rubia.and although
the voyage of the Norwegian, JohanneBen,
last year, close to the coast of the double
island to the Sea of Kara, to the Sea of Ba?
rentz, was considered an extraordinary and
doubtful event, In spite of these tacts to the
contrary, our experience has proved the ex?
istence of an extensive open sea north of Nova
Zembla.
The Sea of Kara has been explored by the
navigators Simonsen and Nattisen, and others,
and reported to be almost completely free
from ice. Simonsen has not found any Ice
even around the White Island. On the strength
of these explorations, the connection of the
open sea ot Nova Zembla with the waters of
the north of Siberia may be coneldered an
established fact. With this discovery vanishes
an Immense territory of ice from our maps.
The year 1871 will undoubtedly be represented
as very favorable to the Ice navigation, al?
though "unfavorable" years have orien been
spoken ol without cause or proof. But the
walrus hunters of Noringla are unanimous in
regarding last summer as the worst season
ever experienced. Even the steamer Ger?
mania, of the German expedition, has not
succeeded In penetrating into the Sea of Kara.
In Norway the fact that sailing vessels have
achieved higher results than steamships ls at?
tributed to the laulty construction of the Ger?
mania as a sailing vessel as well as a steamer,
and lt ls, therefore, a matter of great impor?
tance to subject this vessel to an Impartial ex?
amination.
THC RESULT OF THE POLAR EXPEDITION*.
The question now arises, how came the re?
sult of the present polar voyage to be so es?
sentially different from all that had hitherto
been experienced ? We are as far from the
presumption to believe that we have acted
with more energy and resolution than our
predecessors, as from ptyln!? our UttW ar tar
prise on a degree with" the Targe expeditions
that went before us. The key to the riddle ls
simply this: that nearly all expeditions have
entered and lett these waters too early in the
season. The best and only period for naviga?
tion ls the autumn. Another reason for th?
Ill-success of all these expeditions was that
they kept too near the coast of Nova Zembla
or Spitzbergen, as it now appears that to pene?
trate north forty to forty-two degrees longi?
tude ls the most suitable part ot the Bea of
Nova Zembla. We reached seventy-nine
northern latitude almost without any difficul?
ty, and lt was only the want ot provisions that
prevented us from going further north.
The probable cause of this lavorable state of
the Ice in the sea of Nova Zembla in the au?
tumn appear? *o be the Gulf Stream. From
the collection and comparison of all previous
observations thia cannot, however, be said as
certain, but only as probable. In favor of our
opinion we may mention the fact that In this
hight latitude the temperature of the water in
September is three to five degrees higher than
that of the air; also the frequenoy of fog, the
stream to the northeast, on the coast ot Nova
Zembla, the characteristic blue color of the
Gulf Stream, and the extraordinary number
of small animals. In the beginning of Sep
tember the Gulf Stream seems to leave the
coast of Nova Zembla, and to appear further
west, or perhaps extend itself over a much
larger space. This stream of warm water is
not equally deep, and loses power as lt ex?
tends further north. One of the most note?
worthy (acts ls the large number ot whales In
the Sea of Nova Zembla. The sclent ldc exper?
iments made during our voyages consisted In
observations ot the temperature of the sur?
face ol the water, in regular meteorological
researches at different depths, In geological
examinations of collections of stones and
plants, &c.

MORMON WOMEN-GRACE GREENWOOD'S OB?
SERVATION OF THEM.-Those I have met ap
Sear to me, I must say, like good and gentle
hrlstian women. They are singularly simple
In dress and modest in demeanor, what sad?
dens me ls their air of extreme quietud*, re?
tirement and repression. But for the children
around them you would think some of them
were women who had done with this world. I
am told that the wives ot even the highest
Mormon dignitaries show little pride lu their
lords. It were perhaps difficult to feel much
pride in the sixteenth part of a man, as men
go. Even the first wife of a wealthy saint be?
trays in her husband and household, they say,
no exultant joy of possession. An in?
vestment in a Mormon heurt and home
must be rather uncertain stock for a wo?
man. I am assured, though, thal the second
wife ls seldom taken without the tull consent
ot the first. Nor only are the poor woman's
religious faith aud zeal appealed to, but her
magnanimity toward her elster-woman out lu
the cold. It must be through great suffering
that such, heights of sell-abnegation are
reached. The crucifixion of the divine weak?
ness of a loving woman's heart must be a se?
vere process, AS to the Mormon men whom
I have met, mostly leaders in the church and
prominent, well-to-do citizens, I must say that
they look remarkably oare-free, aud even
jolly, under the cross. Virgil, I believe, has
somewhere the expression: "0 three times
and four times happy !" Well, that is the way
they look.
THE CHINESE COLLEGIAN.-Alluding to the
emigration ol' thirty Celestials to study at Yale
a correspondent says: "The Chinese Freshman
flying his leisure kite upon the college grounds,
instead of carrying off midnight gates and
nailing up obnoxious tutors; the Chinese Soph?
omore feeding upon frugal rat, instead of lav?
ishing his money upon bad champagne; the
Chinese Junior making his own clothing, lu
etead of making the fortunes of designing
tailors; and the Chinese Senior preferring to
translate Confucius into English rather than
to flirt with the traditional belle of New Ha?
ven, will utterly confound the traditious of
Yale, and provoke undergraduate hostility to
Chinese cheap study."
THE RUS SI AH PRINCE.
Partir alar* of Hf g Arrival and Recep?
tion in New York.
Nsw YORK, November 20.
The log of the Russian ?r?zate Svetland
(whose arrival with H. L H. the Grand Duke
Alexis on board has already been announced
by telegraph,) shows that she encountered a
heavy storm off Cane Hatteras, on the 10th
Instant, which continued until last Friday,
when an observation was taken which showed
her to be forty miles off Cape May. Continu?
ing up the coast a pilot was taken on board at
Barnegatat four o'clock Saturday afternoon,
and she was brought up to this harbor Sunday
afternoon. The lrlgate sustained no damage,
and did not even ship a sea during the storm.
This morning there is a heavy iall of rain,
with a blustering easterly wind, and the re?
ception will have to be postponed until to?
morrow, at which time the First Division
National Guard ls ordered out. The steamer
Mary Powell, with the reception committee on
board, has started down the bay to greet the
Grand Duke, and ascertain whether he pre?
fers to proceed at once to Washington for the
formal visit to the President contemplated by
the Russian official programme, or to remain
here and have the public receptioL take place
to-morrow. Notwithstanding the heavy rain,
hundreds of elegantly dressed ladies accompa?
nied the committee down the bay, and many
hundred persons are standing on the pier in
the storm. Broadway is also thronged with
expectant citizens, the news of the postpone?
ment of the procession not having yet been
published.
Alexis ls looking exceedingly well. He is
dressed simply in the uniform of a lieutenant
ol the Russian Navy. H<? !? tall, and strongly
built, with the air and manner of a gentleman.
He has a clear complexion, light hair and
whiskers, and blue eyes. He speaks English
quite fluently, but apeara to prefer to converse
in French.
LATER.-Alexis has arrived at the Clarendon
Hotel.

HOW NAPOLEON TALKS.
He Denies that the BonapartUts are
Conspiring, and glvM his Views on
the Condition of France.
[From the London Times, October 23]
We have received from a trustworthy source
the following account ot a conversation which
was new yesieiua; -at ontselhursVTjetween
the Emperor Napoleon and our Informant,
who ls authorized to publish the statement.
His Majesty spoke as follows: "It ls contended
that the Bonapartiste are conspiring. I do
not believe lt. It ls only parties who feel
themselves In a minority In the country who
have recourse to occult practices. It is only
those who wish to Impose their views upon
the larger number who conspire. When a
man has been as I have been, during twenty
three years, at the head of a great nation, and
when he has been animated by a single
thought-the welfare of the country-he pre?
serves the sentiment of his dignity,
the conviction ot his rights, and casts
away from him the low intrigues which
degrade those who have recourse to them.
Without Illusions and without discour?
agement, I rely upon the Justice of the
French people, and I am resigned to my fate,
whatever may be the decrees of Providence.
Moreover, when one has lallen trom such a
height, the first sentiment o?e experiences ls
not the desire to again mount upon the pin?
nacle, but to seek the causes of the lall In order
to explain one's conduct and combat calumny,
while still recognizing one's faults. In doing
this one reviews the past, rather than seeks
to read the future, and strives much more to
justify one's self than lo accomplish a restora?
tion. Hence the legitimate desire to employ
public means of refuting unjust attacks and of
rectifying erroneous appreciations. To en?
lighten public opinion by truthful statements
lb a duty to those whom fortune bas struck
down; while all agitation to attempt the re-es?
tablishment ot the Imperial regime would only
retard the moral reaction which has already
commenced. To all who have come from
France to visit me I have held the same lan?
guage: 'I am opposed,' I have said to them,
"to either intrigues or plots. France needs
repose to enable her to recover from ber disas?
ters.' He would be most culpable
who should seek to foment trouble for
the advancement of his personal In?
terest. The present government is merely
provisional, and does not In the future exclude
any form of government. To attempt to over?
throw lt would be a bad action; though my
rights remain still intact, and so long as the
people shall not have been regularly consult?
ed, no decision of the Chamber can prevent
me from being the legitimate sovereign of
France. Many officers have written to me to
ask if they should place themselves at the dis?
position of the present government, and if I
consented to release them from their oath. I
have answered that the question being plainly
stated between order on the one hand and
the most frightful anarchy on the other, they
should not hesitate to serve their country;
but that I could not release them from
their oalh until, by a direct vote, the
entire nation shall have chosen a definite
government. Tuns you see like the man in
Horace. I wrap myself in my right and my
resignation. Strong in my own conscience, I
resirAin the impatience of some and despise
the treachery and the insults of others. I ob?
serve, with a certain degree of satisfaction,
that the Republic ls forced to act with severity
against the very men who, during twenty
three years, attacked my government, and to
adopt many of the measures which I regarded
as indispensable to the maintenance of order;
but, as I am not a man of party, this feeling
gives place in my heart to another and a
stronger-the pain with which I see the desti?
nies of France delivered over to the hazard of
events, the fury of factions, the weakness of
the men in power, and the exactions ot the
foreigner." . . _
NEW YORK POLITICAL GOSSIP- A New York
correspondent writes under date of the lGth
inst.: "A few days ago the fact was mentioned
that an informal meeting of prominent Demo?
cratic leaders from different sections of the
country, hid ^een called here for the purpose
ot taking council together with reference to
some concert of action In regard to the ap?
proaching presidential election. In response
to that call many gentlemen are now here,
among them ex-Governor Seymour, ex-Gov?
ernor English, of Connecticut, and Senator
Casserly, ot California. The feeling is strongly
in favor of reducing the issues of the campaign
to a demiiLd for a lower tariff, a more economi?
cal administration of government, and a
thorough exposure and punishment of corrup?
tion In office-the reform movement in this
city to be the key-note of the last mentioned.
The proposed 'passive policy' as to a candi?
date, will also be considered. There arc some
who insist upon bringing the Ku-Elux, the
constitutional amendments, and other ques?
tions resulting from the late war into the fore?
ground, but these will probably be overruled.
In the course of a lew days interesting de
I velopments mav be expected."
FROST AND COTTON.
THE EXT) OF SPECULATIONS ABOUT
THE CROP.
The Pr?tent Rate of Receipts no Crite?
rion of This Year's Yield.
[From the Angosta Constitutionalist.]
The decisive frost of the 16th instant, ac?
companied with ice, settles the point as to the
actual yield of the cotton crop. Presuming
that this frost extended over the entire cotton
region, there ls no more addition to the pro?
duct after this date. It is a killing frost
Speculation will become more active now as
to the actual crop ot 1871, and information
will rapidly concentrate at Liverpool and New
fork- on this point. The receipts since Sep?
tember 1st are no guide to the result. For the
first four months after the commercial year
Degins, the receipts at the ports are about the
same, whether lt be a long crop or a short
crop. There ls a certain amount of each plant?
er's crop-unfortunately a very large por?
tion-always mortgaged or incumbered by
dens and debts, so that lt ls a necessity press?
ing on the planter to hurry it forward to mar?
ket, be the price high or low,|be|the crop long
or short. In the first place, the labor ls en?
titled to one-third of all tbat is made. This ls
the proportion, whether the laborers are paid
wages, or in a share of the crop. This ls
usually drawn upon, and paid out in money or
supplies as the year progresses, so that when
the lime for picking, ginning and packing ar?
rives there ls an urgent demand to be reim?
bursed. The planter wants his money, if he
has advanced to the negroes. The factor
(vants the money, with large Interest and com?
missions that he has advanced to the planters.
These advances always invariably exceed one
third ot the cash value of the entire crop. In
most Instances lt exceeds two-thirds. If the
planter eats his Christmas dinner without
having drawn on his factor for at least one
half of his crop, and various storekeepers and
others for personal and lamlly expenses and
supplies to the extent of one-fourth more, he
Is a thrifty man and a good manager.
Whether, then, the crop be tbree millions
and a quarter or four millions and a quarter,
there ls a stringent obligation on the planter
to send the first third ol it to market as fast as
he can get it ready. We find this Illustrated
In the crops of 1869 and of 1870. Taking the
tables, as furnished by the New Tork Finan?
cial Chronicle of November nth, we find that
up to November 5th, 1869, the receipts were
532,475 bales, while the total, crop was only
3.154,946 bales. In 1870, up to November 5,
the receipts were only 546,471 bales, although
the total crop reached the enormous figure o?
1,352,317 bales. Thus the receipts to November
5th, on a crop of a little over f lr.ee millions
of bales,were only twelve thousand iir.OOO) less
than receipts of a crop ol nearly four and a
halt millions. This proportion of receipts to
total crop will hold good up to the end of the
year. Up to November 5th, of this year, the^
receipts are 459,795 bales. This ls all that the
facilities for preparing and forwarding to mar?
ket enabled the planters to accomplish. It is
no indication of the extent of the crop. The
Beasoa has not been as early or aa favorable
for picking and forwarding as last season.
This may cause the receipts at the end of this
year to show a marked falling off from lost
year. But lt will be after the first of January
when we may begin to see evidences on which
to base calculations. Then, and more espe?
cially after January and February, if the crop
ls a short one the failing off of receipts will
begin to disclose the fact. If the crop ls a
large one-that ls approaching 4,000,000 bales
-the receipts will continue large, and continue
so during all the spring and summer months.
If the crop of 1871 does not prove a short
one compared with that of 1870, then there ls
no reliance to be placed on facts and indica?
tions pointing that way during the entire
growing season, and we must be at sea here?
after la all such calculations. There has been
scarcely an element In favor of a large, yield.
There nave been an unusually large number
of influences unfavorable to lt. If the crop
exceeds three-fourths of that of last year, lt
will be because of some mysterious power
of production which defies adverse Influ?
ences. _ _ _
