Tinkering the Debt. "
a
We respectfully suggest to the gene- It
ral assembly that the majority of their a
constituents are not much exerciFed *
about the bonded debt. The state 'j
credit don't keep many people awake ti
at night when they bad rather be u
asleep. It is our solemn conviction,
arrived at after interviewing several 8
voters in Beaufort and vicinity, that j,
the less done in regard to the bonded
debt the better. People remember the
great things to be done for the "Btate
credit" by the "sterling loan;" they
remember how necessary it was made 8
to appear that our various bonds should 1
be "converted;" and they are not c
enamored with the result. Gov. Moses :1
ehows that every time anybody was J
authorized to issue a new bond that
some how or other the process was so '
soothing that they did not know when ^
to 8top.
Let the general assembly provide for t
the payment of the ju^t i lawns due onr i
own cilizeti9, and thus Improve the
"credit" of a long suffering people.
When the hood holders arc ready to
propose to the state a compromise, it will
be time enough for the state to cjnsid
erit. ;
Coal at l'ort Royal.'
Steamers between southern and Eu (
ropeau porti have heretofore beeusup f
plied with coal at New Orleans and f
Norfolk. Ricent events have demon .
strated that they can find a more eco- ,
nomical supply at Port Royal. Coal
equally good and at a lower price can
hereafter be found iu any quantity ou t
our wharves. Besides ibis advantage 1
in price, our port is far more aecessi- |
ble to the gulf stream. Already par '
ties who have bceu engaged in the lu
siness at New Orlcaus are on the f
ground prospecting for uew coal fields \ \
accessible to Port Royal, and at no (
distant day it is certain that our port N
will become a great coaling station.

^ The medical profession lias long suf- "j
fered somewhat from scandal brought t
upon it by the course of certain so-called t
medical colleges, whose agents sell diplo*
mas to persons who have no: pursued a
regular course of study. Recently a j
young Cuban applied to a Spanish con- t
sul to attest his diploma, which proved
upon examination to be one of this kind. c
lie had pursued the study only three
months yet had been granted a diploma t
by an "American I uiversity of Philadel- 1
phia.'' Inquiry elicited that an agent ~
of this institution lias corresponded ex- ,
ten. ivel.v, offering to procure diplomas to a
practice medicine ou the mere payment *
of certain fees. The following is asamp!e

Sea Island.?The high prices which
ruled for sea island duriug the ceusou of j
1871-'72, owing ?o the small crop that &
year, led to considerable depression in
the fine spinning trade ; and the market
opened in October last without spirit, f
Early this season the sale of all the
"medium''grades?especially of Florida p
?was rfiach interfered with by the t
abundant supply and relative jheapness
of subtiiutes. It soon became evident, '
from tho continued heavy receipts at the
ports, that the crop would be much larger E
than had been anticipated. The demand
for hue yarns being still wilhout improvement,
spinners had no inducement to
bay, and prices rapidly gave way until '
tho end of May, when a decline had been 0
1 established of thl. to 9d. per pound in c
i the "medium" and "good medium" 1
frades of sea island and Florida cotton. e
he stock had meanwhile been accumulat- b
ing, and by this time amounted to over 7
10,000 bags. In Charleston and Savan- "
nah prices had also been falling all the c
year, and in May more advantageous ?
puichases could be made there than in
Liverpool. Even this serious deprecia- 0
tion iu value failed to bring about any 1
Serceptible increase ui tne oonsumpuuu.
ouic spinners, however, were induced
by the great fall in prices to cocie into
the market and purchase freely; and
during the six weeks ending with June
about 3,000 bags were sold. This to
some extent relieved holders, and with
a smaller supply offering, prices graduallv
recovered in July 2d. to 3d. per pound
from the lowest point. The demand
then fell off, and this improvement was
not fully maintained. The market closes,
however, with renewed firmness, and
the stock of the "common" and "medium"
grades is now in small compass.
The quality of the crop generally?but
especially of Florida?has not been equal
to the average cf previous years; and
this has greatly contributed to the decline
in prices. The quantity of "fine" j
and "extra fine" island cotton sent to
this market has been very small, and
the quality much below the average.
The prices realized for these grades have
been relatively high; but ppinners have
always shown a decided preference
for the lots remaining from the previous
crop.
Texas.?The faliing off in the quality
of Texas sea island this season has been
most iuarkod. This cotton was previously
in great favor, and realized about the
same prices as well prepared "medium
fine" sea island, but this year it has had
10 he applied to lower numbers, and the
bulk of it has only rauked with "good"
Florida. The total crop amounted to
i about 1,000 bags, against about 1,000
bags the previous year.
Algeria.?This cotton has for some
time been out of favor with English
spinners, and very little has found its
way to this country 1'or the last two years
' The crop has either been sent'direct to
U' ntiuental spinners or sold in Marseilles.
There are no means of ascertaining its
extent, but it is probable that about
2,000 bags, of 2i>0 pounds each, were
grown last year.
Tahiti.?The cotton famine produced
by the American war led to the cultivation
of sea. island cotton in various countries;
but in the Island of Tahiti alone
was there at first a f ivorable result. For
some time this cotton proved to be a very
i important substitute, and was much
liked by spinners; but during the last
two years the quality has so greatly deteriorated
in regularity and strength of
staple that it is now quite out of favor,
and the low price* which holders have
seriously curtailed lie production.
T<Vir ?Tim wo<?l.>r< in flm luii K!,?n(ls
were the next to turu their attention to
the cultivation of cotton from .sea island
need, and the first small parcels of well
ginned cotton realized from 4s to 4s fvi
per lb. These high prices rapidly stiuiuated
the production, and the supply
this season has reached about 4000 bales.
In consequence of exce?sive rains about
one-fourtn of the crop is usually staiucd.
This cotton in its general properties 1
more resembles sea island than any substitute;
but the ext: ewe length of staple,
without proportionate strength, is a
serious draw back. At first the preparation
was exceedingly defective, tne bulk 1
being sawginued. Each season has
since shown a niarkod improvement in
this respect, as well as in the evenness
and strength ofstaple. The great irregularity
of the earlier crops gave much
disappointment, and caused considerable
prejudice against the cotton, which has
not yet been overcome. At the begin- ,
ning of the season clean good staple cotton
was sold at lSd to 22<\ according to
fineness aud preparation. This was
considered a low scale of prices, and the
cotton was readily taken instead of Florida.
The great decline in sea island, and
the continued depression in the fine spinning
trade, caused some holders, as the '
season advanced, nnxiouly to press sales; '
and prices drifted down 4d to Gd per lb.
At this reduction the sales were again
considerable, but the market closes with
very little recovery, clean useful qualities
only bringing from lid to 16d. It '
vv uld be a matter of deep regret if
tbe.se unreasonably low priecs should
bave th i effect of driving out of production
this rapidly improving, but as yet ,
unappreciated, cotton. ,
Pkkumyn.?The production of sea
Mand lotton was coinmeiieed three or
four years ago in l'eru, and being a groat
success, was rapidly extended. Hie
supply this year lias amounted to about
7,U<M) bales of 150 pounds each. Thiscot'
tonisuiuch in favor for weft spinning,
owing to its color, clcanriessandsilkness of
staple. At the commencement ot the season
there was an active demand for the good
lots of the new crop at about24d. and they
were readily sold from this price doYvn
to 2Ud. During the summer the demand
fell off, and prices gave way. In August
holders became anxious to clear out the
remainder of the stock, and 17d. to I8d,
was accepted for good cotton, and 14. to
lad. lor lot* imperfect in preparation. A
further decline lias since been established,
and the choice lots of the netv crop?
just coming to hand?are ouly realizing
about IGd.
Kuyitian.?By far the most important
of the substitutes is ''Gallene''
Egyptian, which has largely supplanted
'common" am', '"medium" sea island, ,
especially amongst the iiolton spinners. ,
The growth of this cotton has materially i
increased during the last two or three
years It is difficult to ascertain with accuracy
the quantity produced in the last ,
crop, out iroia jui me luiormation we i
have been able to gather, we are of opin- i
ion that it has amounted to lully 15,00(1 <
bales of COO pounds each, of such quality ]
as to be a substitute for sea Island. One
reason why this cotton is so much in flavor
is that it comes forward in large even (
running parcels of uniform quality. Such t
is not the case with regard to sea island i
cotton; since the American war it has
been produced only in small lots of such .
varying quality, that much trouble is en- '
tailed upon the spinner, who finds it almost
impossible to secure uniformity in
the yaru ; and it is partly owing to this
that sea island has not gone into increased

f sea island greatly discouraged plan

?e have already indicated. 1'he Per
rian crop, we believe will be fully equ
0 the last, and may possibly exceed i
he quality, judging by the new arriva!
will be excellent. The reports fro
Sgypt. both as to the extent and quali

which produces a finer and longer staf
