VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1883. CHARLESTON, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 18, 1872. EIGHT DOLLARS A A MIGHTY UPRISING. TBE LIBERAL REPUBLICAN MEETING AT TBE COOPER INSTITUTE. Trumbull, Schurz and Greeley Shoul¬ der to Shoulder-Immense Enthusi¬ asm-The Great German Surpasses Himself-A Broad Declaration of Prin clples. NEW TORE, April 13 All the morning papers give rall reports th» Liberal Republican meeting held ?evening. General opinion istbat the gath lng was the largest and most enthusiastic political meeting ever held In this city. The World says : "It ls now certain tbat the Oin <rfnnatl Convention will nominate a ticket and unless Borne great blunder Is perpetrated in the selection or candidates, that ticket wlli uni io all the elements of opposition. Tbe De mocrecy will not put obstructions in the way of a movement whicb seems to stand on strong "a basis, but lt must nevertheless serve its final judgmeat until the present hopeful anticipations ripen Into established facts.B Innhe preface to Its report the World says '.Last evening the first gun of the coming Presidential campaign was fired in New York under Imposing circumstances. The great tide of national reform which bas swelled and surged lor mouths past through the land with Irresistible volume, rose then to its highest point and swept everything before it. The announcement that several of the ablest and most honorable United States senators wou expound the principles of this mort-ment, favor of sound statesmanship and agalnet the abuse of good government, attracted au im menee concourse ot people to hear their elo Suent wards on behalf ot the new reform ever, since the Cooper Institute was built, has such a tremendous audience filled the large hall of that build.ng. In the square, on the sidewalk, and In front ot the institute, a dense crowd congre gated at an early hour, and strove, long alter it was announced that the hall was filled, to gain an entrance within. The firing of caanoD, and the explosion of fireworks, at¬ tracted still greater numbers to join the mul tltude already collected; but they came only to be disappointed. At half-past seven o'clock the police refused to admit any more persons within. The doorway, corridors and stair ways were then Jammed to suffocation. The outlets to the main hall were blockaded while the hall itself was a dense, excited cheering mass of struggling humanity. To estimate the size of the crowd would be Idle bat lt ls enough to Bay there were thousands present and almost as many more turned away without gaining admission. The hall was utterly Inadequate for the occasion, and lt ls evident that lt the needs of tbe Reiorm era during tbe coming campaign are-io be consulted, we must have another and far larger meeting place in New York to contain them. When they met in council, the crowd waa as respectable as It was large, and comprised many ol our most prominent -citizens. They were well dressed and welM to do, including merchants and professional men, mech&uics and politicians, Democrats and Republican?, Germans, and Americans, without regard to opinion or con ditton. It was an audience comprising the wealth, respectability and Intelligence of the city, and was truly representative lu charac ter. The hall was decorated with the Amer¬ ican flag and a number small streamers while a brass band played appropriate airs at Intervals, The platform waa not less crowded than the auditorium, many noted persons be lng. noticeable. The meeting was opened promptly at eight o'clock, by the selection of Frederick Conkllng as chairman, which posl Hon he filled with excellent judgment and good sense, pacifying the audience when dis turbance occurred-owing to efforts of the crowd outside to force their way into the room, and preserving order In spite of the .difficulties under which he labored. Among the vice-presidents were Horace Greeley, Sin¬ clair Toucey, Hoses H. Grindell. Hiram Bar ney. Charles A. Dana, Marshall 0. Roberts Judge Blatchford, Samuel Sinclair, General John A. Dix and a number of prominent Ger¬ man citizens.'' % The following declaration principles was adopted at the opening of the meeting: That political action in Individuals and cou Tentions should bu free from the Influence of political patronage; that business men should not, under the fear of unjust official interfer ence In their affairs, be compelled to pay trib¬ ute for political purposes; tbat public offices are, or should be, created lor public conveoi ence, not as rewards for partisan services nor for personal aggrandizement; that the acts of officials should bo confined within the strict letter ol tbe law; that the triumph of Repub Hean principles ls ol paramount Importance to the country; tbat the success of these prin¬ ciples In the approaching national election shojnld not depend upon any one Individual that the prosperity of the country demands a thorough, radical and immediate reform in all the departments of the public service, civil military and naval, and that the "one-term" principle for the presidential office will con¬ duce more to that end than any other .measure. . Senator Trumbull was received with tumul¬ tuous cheering, which, however, was sur¬ passed by the enthusiastic applause from all aides when Horace Greeley appeared on the platform and took a seat near the speaker's staad. Trumbull spoke with great energy and fire, and not only e'eci rifled, but also Inter¬ ested his audience by bia eloquence. His assaults on the centralizing tendencies ot the present administration were bailé* wltb Indig¬ nant cheers, and he astonished bis hearers by showing them the despotism which threatened the safety ol tbe Republic. He upheld, in un¬ qualified language, the true Democratic doc¬ trine ol Slate rights, and while denouncing rebels as traitors, he yet said they were never thieves. He warned his audience against the dangers of a centralized authority, which has already established, In different States of the Union, tribunals lor the adjudication of the property and lives of the people, "object to Its own control, and said thia power was lu great danger of abuse. He said: "There are several causes for the dissatis¬ faction of the peop'e which I can only briefly allude to. But one cause of complaint which produces the alienation of the late Insurrec¬ tionary Stales and keeps alive the hates and animosities engendered by the war, ls the con¬ tinuance of political disabilities after the oc¬ casion for them bas passed away. In conse¬ quence of this continuance the governments In the late Insurrectionary States have tallen in iff the hands of Inexperienced and in many Instances corrupt adventurers, who have plundered the people ot these Slates scarcely less than you In the City New York have been plundered by your former city govern¬ ments. [Applause.] ' uWby are these disabilities continued ? Why-are they not removed and all the people .enfranchised ? I thluk there are two causes, and two alone, which prevent lt-one merce¬ nary, the other political. [Applause.] Toe mercenary one the adventurers showed by ex¬ cluding from office In all these states the former leading men of large experience and capacity, and although they were traitors during the war, they were not thieves or plunderers. Their exclusion bas thrown these govern¬ ments into the hands of men who have used their power to plunder the people over whom they rule, and the debt ol tbe Southern States have been swollen in some instances twenty- lold from what they were before the war began. "One great measure, then, which is de¬ manded in the name of honesty, In the name of peace, and in the best interests of ail, is the pascatie ol a general bill removing politi¬ cal disabilities. "Another cause of complaint among the people ls the one In which the patronage of the government ts used-used as so much money to carry elections-not in the interest of a party even-lt does not rise to that high dignity-but In the interest ot a iaciiou of a party. The civil service system ts ihe parent of many, very many evils. I cannot stop to¬ night to point out the officers In manyloc?'* ties wbo are taxed a portion of their salaries for party purpose?, and if they do not perform the political duty required they are soon re¬ moved and others substituted who will be ac¬ tive in politics." 4 - Of the tendency to the centralization of the government, the senator said: "It this system of encroachment be permitted to 20 on, the day ia not far distant when our republican system, based on the idea of a division ot powers between the Federal Government and the States, will be transformed into one Impe¬ rial despotism, with all the powers at Wash¬ ington; and I care not whether tbe power is exercised by a Bingle person as a monarch, or by Ave hundred persons called a Congress, lt is equally a despotism. [Applause.] And (he doctrine is now boldly proclaimed by men high in authority that the States of this Union have Buch powers." Senator Schurz next took the stand, and was received with similar overwhelming ova¬ tion to that of Trumbull, as the lion of the oc¬ casion and the leading light of the Beform movement. His speech was eagerly anticipa¬ ted and attracted many persons, expressly to bear it. He snoke calmly and yet earnestly, using very full notes. His manner was not full of fire and fury-signifying nothing-but clear, logical and convincing. His dispassion¬ ate arguments did not carry away the feelings of his audience, but they appealed to their reason and held their attention closeiy. His voice rang loud and clear through the vaulter! hall and throughout the packed, yet silent throng, like the notes of a clarion. The audi¬ ence seemed spell-bound, and only at Intervals recovered themselves" sufficiently to applaud. This, however, they did repeatedly and with vigor, showing the eloquence of the orator was fully appreciated. Each word was re¬ ceived with attention, and every strong point made against the administration was fully ap¬ preciated. As to the speech itself we can only refer to the full report, which alone can de Justice to its acumen, profundity, close rea¬ soning, wit and other admirable qualities. The Administration Alarmed. WASHINGTON. April 13. The meeting last night in New Tork pro¬ duces a feeling ol' uneasiness in administra¬ tive circles here, and shakes the Bourbon Democracy. There seems to be a growing disposition upon the port of the more conser¬ vative Democratic leaders to unite their for¬ tunes with the Cincinnati Convention. Mal¬ ters are mixed. montgomery Blair and the Iliberal Re« publicans-The Pennsylvania Situa¬ tion. WASHINGTON, April 12. The editor of the new weekly Liberal Re¬ publican paper here, the Transcript, having written a letter to Hon. Montgomery Blair proposing that the latter should be selected as one of the delegates to represent this district lu the Cincinnati Convention, Mr. Blair replies as tollows: "There are two objections to this. First I am aol a Republican, and second, I may be a member of the Democratic Convention. Whether I am or not, I shall favor the support of the nominee of tbe Cincinnati Convection, without regard to the individuals nominated. The reform movement there to be Inaugurated can only be advanced by the reform wing of the Republican party. I shall support the movement earnestly, though lt will be In the hands of the Republicans exclusively, with no expectation of advantage to myself or trlends save what will be shared by the whole country in being freed from a wholly irresponsible government." The State Bepublican ticket in Pennsylva¬ nia, wi;h a single exception, gives such gene¬ ral dissatisfaction among the Pennsylvania Republicans here that many of them do not hesitate to predict Us defeat at the October election, even' by a straight-out démocratie ticket. There are fears already ot a serious bolt, as Forney has proposed that the dele¬ gates selected by the convention lo the Presi¬ dential Bepublican Convention be thrown overboard and a new Bet be elected by the Republicans. He declares tba* the present delegates "are not men of proper character," and that "they were selected by a ring ot un¬ principled party managers." Senator Cameron, who ls thus alluded to, proposes to denounce what he calls Forney and his associates' at¬ tempts to demoralize the straight-out Republi¬ can ticket in Pennsylvania. The Iliberal Republican Nomination. A writer In the New York World argues at great length lu favor of the nomination of Mr. Charles Francis Adams for President by the Cincinnati Convention. He says : My reasons are many. First of all, I believe him to be honest, capable, and faithful to the constitution Interpreted according to the standards ot exposition set up by the lathers ot tbe Republic, who realized that the Individ¬ ual States have rignts as well as duties. He ls, lu education, moral perceptions, and all civic virtues, the reverse of General Grant in a more conspicuous sense than any other per¬ son mentioned as a probable candidate of the combined opposition to the re-election of the present incumbent. He ls a statesman by in¬ heritance, association, training, and habit of thought. He is Identified with none ol the distractions which have recently disturbed our country and Its politics, and if elected will be tree to exercise bis tried abilities, within (he path of duty, lu protecting the national repose and securing the prosperity ot the wnole country._ THE CLNCINNATI MOVEMENT GATH¬ ERING STRENGTH EVERY DAT. Strone; Words from the New Tork Post. [Prom the New York Evening Post, April 9 ] The movement of the Liberal Republicans, which threatens to organize and to take per¬ manent form at the Cincinnati Convention on tbe first May, seems to be gathering force rapidly. Ihe manifesto of the New Toft "boilers" has been quickly followed by a man¬ ifesto from the Liberal Republicans of Wiscon¬ sin; calls for Reform Conventions In Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Loui-laoa and New Jersey have been published, and words of approbation have been pronounced by prominent Republicans in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and lu other States in which the Republican party ls predominant, all look¬ ing towards' the entorcement ol the prom¬ ises of reform which have remained un¬ fulfilled for four years. The character of many or the men who have lately encouraged this independent movement seems to Indicate that unless the Republican leaders promptly reject the timid advice of the office-holders and the senatorial ring, and denounce lae mercenary overtures of the monopolists who are besieging Congress to postpone reforms, tbe nomination of a second Bepublican can¬ didate tor President is as nearly certain as that General Grane will be renominated at Philadelphia. The late elections In New Hampshire Connecticut and Rhode Island give strength to this opinion, tor, while the Democrats would have accepted victory in those States as a precursor of their national success, now they accept defeat as a command to be passive in the national canvass, allowing the Republicans to conduct the contest among themselves, and support¬ ing that side which they Judge to be the moRt favorable for the country. The responsibility for this condition of po¬ litical affairs belongs to the Republicans lu Congrens. The convention at Cincinnati, which at first should have been accepted by all as simply an advisory meeting to Influence the action of th*« National Republican Con¬ vention, seems ¡Ikey to be forced Ino an In¬ dependent position by the inaction and mis¬ management ol the leaders in Congress. A GUN EOR CHAS. FRANCIS ADAMS. A Massachusetts General Disavows Go¬ ing for Grant -\ Spirited Letter. SPI.NGFIELD, MASS., April 9. General W. F. Bartlett, In Pittsfield, one of the fighting soldiers in the war, sends a com¬ munication to the Bepublican concerning a statement that be was a candidate for delegate to the Philadelphia Convention, and would go for Grant. He declares himself as follows: As I had some time previous to the date of the above article declined to »low the use of my name, I cannot suppose th-u the selection would be approved. But lt seems to me only the part of candor to declare that, while I am flattered to learn that my nam* nas been con¬ sidered tn connect o-i with so distinguished a position, I am not to b- counted on to "go for Grant," if that means, as I fear ic does, blind allegiance to tbe group of politicians under whose control Genera! GrantJISB unfortunate¬ ly placed himself, and whose solicitude seems to be greater for the Republican party than for the welfare of the country. But I am wil¬ ling, as I know thousands of other good sol¬ diers and good Republican?, now "counted on to go fer Grant," and good men of all parties, are walting, for the nomination of a man whose administration shall be above suspicion, not above Investigation; who cannot be used or abused by any set ot selfish politicians of any party; who will illustrate the true mean¬ ing of "Civil Service Beform" by benefiting and enriching the nation and not the Individ¬ ual: whose ability as a statesman ls balanced by nts Integrity as a man; whose great servi¬ ces to his country in the darkest days of our c' rii war, when single-handed at the English Court he stemmed the tide of foreign inter- ventiou with skill and fearlessness unsur¬ passed, can never be forgotten by those to whom the honor of their country ls as dear as her success; whose name ls Charles Francis Adams, and whom, If the Cincinnati Convention shall have the wisdom to nomi¬ nate, the people will have the independence to elect. W. F. BARTLETT. THE MOVEMENT IN ILLINOIS. Defections In the -Regular" Republi¬ can Ranks. SPRINGFIELD, III., April 9. The State Beglster of to day says, editorial¬ ly: An immense Liberal Bepublican movement is In progress in this city, and In a few days a call will be Issued calling a State Convention to select delegates to the Cincinnati Con¬ vention. The names to the call will embrace about all the promlaent Republicans In this State. Some of the names to this document are already on the "regular" call lor the State Convention of Hay 22. JUDGE DA VIS'S POSITION. An Authoritative Statement. The Washington Patriot prints the following, which is understood to be an authorized ex¬ planation of Judge Davis's position, and that of the Democratic members of Congress from Illinois toward bim : We are requested to publish a copy of the following telegram, which was sent to Chica¬ go last night, In order to correct one of the many erroneous statements which are dally telegraphed from this city. It is very well known here in all political circles that Judge Davis has carefully and becomingly abstained from taking any part whatever lu the move¬ ments to present bim as a candidate fjr the Presidency by the united opposition; that be has written no letters on that subject; that he has made no committals; that he bas in no way changed his original position, and that he has given no authority for the statement as to bis luture course in regard to any comtlngency that may arise: [Telegram.] The statement published in Illinois, that one-half of the delegation In Congress from that State is hostile to Judge Davis as a can¬ didate for President, ls wholly without foun¬ dation. Ou Inquiry their position ls found to be about this: While they do not propose to interfere in any way with the movement of what are called Liberal Republicans, they do not disguise their anxiety that the action of the Cincinnati Convention will be such as to secure the cordial co-operation ot all who de¬ sire to shake off the military Incubus that now endangers the very Hie of free government. Five of the six Democratic members, Messrs. Robinson, Marshall, McNeeley, Grebs and Stevens, believe that in the life, person and record ofJudge D ivis are combined more of the elements of success, and less to urouso the prejudices, and repel pm riot lc citizens who desire reform lu tho administration of the government, than in any other Bepubli¬ can name that has been suggested In this connection, and that he would insure that cordial co-operation ot all the elements of op¬ position, which would render success a cer¬ tainty._ TOE BAT STATE ORACLE. Grant's Friends Trying to Frighten Sumner from Attending. WASHINGTON, April 9. Since it has been stated that Senator Sum¬ ner would be among those who would attend the Cincinnati Convention, a studied effort has been made by the friends of the administra¬ tion, who maintain personal relations with Mr. Sumner, to persuade him against going. The President and his friends admit that the presence of Sumner at .the convention would give great weight to lt, and would be likely lo draw off a large number ot the old-fashioned Abolitionists, who have heretofore trained with the Bepublican party, but who are dis¬ satisfied with Grane Sumner has been assur¬ ed by these disinterested Iriends that by going to Cincinnati he would forever shut the door against a return to the party told, and would place himself squarely on the oin- r side. Notwithstanding this it is believ¬ ed that Sumner will go and take the conse¬ quences. CANVASSING FOR A COALITION. WASHINGTON, April 14. The Democratic members of Congress are consulting among themselves regarding their political ccmr.-e lu view of the Cincinnati Con¬ vention. Some of them freely express their willingness to vote for the nominee of that cunveutioo, provided the demonstration there shall give promise of success and the plat lorin be of SUCH a character that they can en¬ dorse lt. They say that they want only the enunciation ol a few general principles. Som» of the anti-administration Republicans have been privately exchanging vle.wB with them in order to urrauge a baals ol'coalition. It ls generally agreed, however, by th« Democrats that their course will be governed ny the National Democratic Convention whether lt shad agree to HU. port the Cincinnati nominee or make a nomination of its own. AN ELEVATOR BURNED. TOLEDO, 0., April H. The Lake Shore and Michigan southern Railrea-.l elevator at this place was totally de¬ stroyed by fire this evening, together wlih its contents, consisting of 100,000 bushels of corn; 1200 bushels of oats, and 8000 bushels ol wheat. The loss ls estimated at $100,000, and ls covered by insurance, mostly In Eastern companies. RAMPAGEOUS MORMONISM. SALT LAKE, April 13. A. M. Musser, the Mormon telegraph super¬ intendent, Ba<d that rather than surrender one single principle of their religion, the Mormons would make a Moscow ot' Salt Lake City; tear up the railroads; break down the telegraph lines, and do«t.roymlilit>us of other property. .H* spoke of Junge McKean as a dried up, cor¬ rupt old dog, and of the President as a useleas Grant, and stigmatized him and others as a corrupt set. He. also Included the President's wile in his attack. SPARKS FROM THE WIRES. -Clara Louise Kellogg has sailed for Eng¬ land. 6 -A Grant mass meeting bas been called at Cooper Instil ute, New York, for next Friday -The Atalanta Club crew have sailed tor England. -Admiral Stewart has been appointed comptroller of the Boyal navy. -Another severe snow storm has occurred in the mountains, extending from Cheyenne to Bryan. -It is thought that the President will thia week nominate a comptroller of the currency to supo y the present vacancy. -Official reports of aa engagement in the Cfm rai Department of Cuba, announce the killing of Cuban General Eduardos Agram en to as a positive tact. THE COTTON PROBLEM. COURSE OF TRADE AT MANCHESTER. The Short Supply of American Cotton-, Importance of a Large Crop. [From Smith, Edwards A Co's Monthly cotton Circular, dated Liverpool, March 30, 1872.] Tbe Manchester market during the past month has been extremely dull; very great complaints are made by the manufacturing In¬ terest of the Impossibility of selling except at a ruinous loss: there never has been any ac¬ tivity of demand throughout the month-In Eastern cloth especially lt bas never been pos¬ sible to sell except at a great sacriBce; snort lime has been spreading among looms, espe¬ cially in the Blackburn district, and a rather considerable quantity of machinery Is now standing idle or only partially employed. The movement, however, has not reached such dimensions as lo Influence the position of the trade materially, either in the way of relieving the Manchester market or ot seriously forcing down the price of yam; though the demand for it has been very slack of late, and spinners fl Dd difficulty in selling, yet the existence of old contracts has sustained the market mod¬ erately well, and the spinning department has not yet become so unprofitable as to lead to any stoppage of spindles or any material re¬ duction of consumption. The higher counts of yarn are still much more profitable than the medium and lower, and ttois has a tendency to prevent the trade going on Surat cotton to any great extent, and we cannot report as yet any serious change In the composition of the consumption. We be¬ lieve the trade are still using fully 30,000 bales per week of American colton, and not more than 12,000 to 14,000 bales East Indian. The accounts from the Indian markets keep poor and disappointing, but (rom China rather better accounts are to hand; the demand there has revived, but prices have not as yet. Im¬ proved enough to cause much Inclination to purchase In Manchester. In no department of the market is there heavier loss than In China shirtings; lt can hardly be put at less than ld to lid per lb. The export demand of yarn keeps moder¬ ately good; Indeed this ls the healthiest de¬ partment of the market, and as lt ls chiefly for the Continent, lt shows that business there must still be profitable. We cannot report any material change in the prospects of our market since our last issue. We then Btated that the supply of colton for tblsyear promised to be poor and scarcely sufficient for the consumption, even granting that all the inferior kinds were brought Into play; while viewing American and other long stapled cotton by Itself, the position appeared much stronger, and Indeed gave cause tor con¬ siderable anxiety to spinners. During the past month any changes that have occurred tn the prospect of supply are rather In the direction of greater scarcity. The American receipts have dwindled faster than any one expected, and three millions are now looked upon as an extreme estimate of crop. Considering that spinners In America Billi require to buy a considerable quantltv of their year's supply, lt Is clear that in a few weeks the export to Europe must become very small, and we calculate that from the 1st June lo 1st November very little cotton In¬ deed can reach this country from America. We cannot see how our spinners can get more than 23,000 or 24,000 bales of American per week from now till November, and even granting that they have still a surplus stock ot 50,000 to 100,000 bales American, lt ls clear that their consumption of this olass must be largely out down. We.do not yet see that re¬ adjustment of consumption taking place which ls so necessary. The demand runs upon the better classes of cotton Just as lt runs upon the better classes of yarn, and lt ls evidently going to be a difficulty matter to throw the trade sufficiently upon Bursts. Upon the solution of this problem no doubt depends In a great degree the future of our market. Taking all kinds of cotton together, aud allowing for strict eoonomy in the con¬ sumption, a small export demand and the using up of all surplus stocks, there may be about enough cotton to enable us to pull through the year; but should the consumption continue for some lime longer on Its present footing, there will obviously be a severe pinch in the latter part ol the year lor American and all long stapled cotton. The stock then would mainly consist of Bengal, aladras, low Sura ts and other unsalable kinds. It ls clearly going tobe the most difficult matter to get the poorer sorts of East India cotton into con¬ sumption this year, and therefore the figures ot supply, taken lu the aggregate; are decep¬ tive, and givtftbe Impression of greater abun¬ dance than is really the case. It ls needful, however, to give full weight to the depressed state of trade In Manchester. The change there In the last two months Is surprising, and almost unaccountable to tno-e who remember the buoyant tone that prevail¬ ed even up to the beginning of February. It is quite clear now that much of the business done io January was very speculative in char¬ acter, and based either upon an expected great rise In cotton or an Improvement in for¬ eign markets, which has not taken place. For nearly two months now the volume of busi¬ ness passing bas been very small; and were lt not for the large contracts heil by the trade at the beginning of the year, a heavy fall in prices all round must have occurred. As ll ls, spinners have not suffered seriously as yet, and the strain has come almost solely on man¬ ufacturers. It remains lo be seen whether the producers of yaru will have to divide the loss with the makers ol cloth, -tSo long as tbe spinner can Work without serious loss there will be no material reduction In the consump¬ tion ol'cotton, and we Incline to think that the point ls Billi somewhat distant when spindles will be put on short lime-indeed, we doubt If there will be any short time of moment Ibis year, provided colton docs not rule higher than It ls now. The situation then seems to be that with an Insufficient supply ot cotton we have to lace a dull, dragging state of trade, and at the mo¬ ment the two forces aoout balance each other. Should any Improvement occur in Manchester later on, a rise in cotton will be inevitable; should the depression last all the year and the trade act cautiously, lt may be staved off, but the posltlou will oe critical and consumers will be kept anxious, at least titi the prospects of t he next American crop as¬ sume a definite shape. No doubt the position of our market lo the summer and autumn will be affected mater!- ally by the appearance of the growing crop. If it gets a good start, and opinions run m lavor of high estimates, business of all kinds will be reduced to a minimum, and spinners will be content to work without stock, and our supplv will lengtneu out surprisingly: but if any accident should happen the next crop, the position would be very critical, for there will be no reserves left in Europe, and should spinners be frightened into buying largely in the autumn, a very serious rise of prices might ensue. Ic is Indeed a matter of great Importance that the next American crop should be both large and early. Of one thlug we may feel certain, planters will do their utmost to furnl.*h a Targe crop, and the only matter of uncertainty will be the season, which ls, how¬ ever, the most important element In the ques¬ tion. GEORGIA CROP NEWS. Hay Bells at fifty dollars per ton in Morgan County, says the Madison Appeal. Vegetation lu a new-born glory of green. About seven hundred tons fertilizers used. In Terrell County, says the Journal, crops are backward. Much land meant for cultiva¬ tion cannot be planted. Seed put In cannot come up. Farmers have long faces. Com¬ plaint ol worthless guano. In Quitmau County, saya the Savannah Re¬ publican, crop prospects are gloomy. No cot¬ ton planted nor are (armers ready. The corn supply will be sufficient, but bacon scarce. TBE GRAIN CROP IN YORK. The Yorkvllle Inquirer says : "During the last week we have seen a good deal of wheat, and are glad to be able to report that lt gen¬ erally looks promising. Farmers of whom we have inquired, report that the prospect for a crop is good. Th« quantity ol wheat sown is not very great. Fall oats also look well. As a general thing the oat crop will be greatly needed. Never, except In 1846, was hay and fodder scarcer In York County. Every year lt Is demonstrated to us that some change should be made so as to produce our own supplies of hay and fodder." LÖSS OF A CAROO OF COTTON. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE KETTS.] S IVAN KA ri, April 13. The ship Tranquebar, owned In Blchmond Me., caught fire, and tbe cargo of 2700 bales cotton will be entirely lost, either by Ure water.

Fred. Douglass has arrived, and prealded on Saturday over the Colored Men's Convention He made a long speech, in which be said that the party led by Trumbull and Schurz favored States rights, and in that party he bad no con fldence. "But," he continued, "the Bepubll can party must come up higher. Though Gene¬ ral Grant ls an honorable man, and one lor whom I expect to vote, (Cheers,) yet tbe Bepublican party bas other leaders besides General Grant. (Enthusiasticapplause.) There ls now a man at Washington who represents the future, and is a majority in himself, a man at whose feet Grant learns wisdom; that man ls Charles Summer. (Applause.) I know them both; they are great men, but Sumner ls Bteady. He is no flickering light. For twen ty-flve years he has worked for the Bepubli¬ can party, and I hope I may cease forever If I cease to give all honor to Charles Sumner." On motion, the House rose and gave three cheers for Charles 8umner. KV-KLUX TN KENTUCKY. CAIRO, III., April 14. A mob attacked the jail at Clinton, Ky., and attempted to lynch two men charged with rape. Thirty ineffectual shots were fired. The mob express their purpose to lynch tbe prisoners or burn the village. THE CARLIST REVOLT IN SPAIN. MADRID, April 12. An armed baud of Republicans has appeared at Yandell, seventeen miles from Saragossa. A party of Carlista, two hundred and fifty in number, stopped a train on the railroad and plundered the goods and express cars, but'did not molest the passengers. They also out the telegraph wires, and communication with Barcelona ls interrupted. Governor Gerona telegraphs that the troops are operating against the insurgents In -that province. The result ls unknown. The iron-workers in the Clty.of Barcelona have struck work. The land proprietors of the province have organized parties to pursue maurauders who Infest the country. Fights have already taken place with robbers, ana men have been killed on both sides. Official reports from Catalonia say that the troops are active all along the frontier. When bands Carlista appear, troops are immedi¬ ately Bent In pursuit; and in quiet districts, where there ls danger of rising, flying col¬ umns scour the country. MADRID, April 13-Evening. The military authorities of Catalonia, Arra¬ gon a and Navarre report to the government that the movements of the Carlista In those provinces are unimportant. Ample precau¬ tions have been taken to prevent any rising that may be attempted in- Grenada, Columns ot'troops scour the country In that province, and any demonstration which may be. made will be speedily suppressed,.

GAMBETTA AND THE BEPÜBLIC-M. Gambet¬ ta, In contluuaiion of his tour throughout France, delivered au address to the citizens of Anglers, in the department Maine et Lore, last evening, in advocacy of the republic. In the course of his remarks M. Gambetta assert¬ ed that the whole country was practicably a unit for the defeat of the supporters of a mon¬ archy. In support ot this statement he cited as proof the results of the municipal and de¬ partment elections. M. Gambetta continued by a splrlred assault upon the members ol the party of the Bight In the Assembly, who, be said, are utterly distrusted by 'the people of France, and concluded by vigorously urging upon President Thiers a definite establishment of the republic. THE RECENT EARTHQUAKE.-A dispatch from Sas Francisco, dated the 10th, eavs : Letters from Long Pine say that the whole of Owen's Yalley bas been moved southward fourteen feet. Over seven thousand shucks had occurred to date, and they still continued, but not with sufficient force to do any damage. The earth¬ quake of March 26th hurled immense rocks down the cliff into the Yalley of the Yosemite, smashing the great pine trees to splinters, but detracting nothing from the scenery of the valley. An Indian runner bringa a dispatch irom tbe mouth of the Colorado Biver which says the earthquake caused immense waves to roll up the Gmt of California. A PAUSE IN THE JAPANESE PERSECUTIONS.- The Christian Iuteillgeucer of the 4tb Instant, referring to some indications that the Japan- enese Government had halted in Its persecu¬ tion of Christianity, saya: "It is currently re¬ ported that the edicts prohibiting the intro¬ duction of Christianity are taken down from the public bulletins in Yeddo and various parts of the country, although no official noti¬ fication of the fact has been made, less lt should awaken opposition on the part of bigoted and illiberal persons. The edicts have been as follows: 'The Christian religion 1B prohibited, as lt has been hitherto. The vile and corrupt sect Is prohibited as heretofore.'" A CORNER IN COPPER.-The New York World says: "Copper has been successfully "corner¬ ed" lu this city. Within ten days the price has risen 10 cents a pound. It ia now quoted at 41 cents casn, and 35 cents for future de¬ livery, from June to October. The price In England is £97 a ton net, or a little over 20 cents, gold. Tne explanation of this corner la very simple. The Hecla and the Calumet cop¬ per mines can produce copper at 12 or 13 cents a pound. The mines are under the control ot a few monopolists, who have obtained from Congress a duty of 5 cenia a pound lu gold. Foreign copper cannot, therefore, be laid flown In New York for less tnan 27 cents a pound, gold. At even 25 cents the Hecla and Calumet millionaires would have a bonus of 100 per cent. But they are not satisfied with thar, and by combining with a copper firm iu New York, shipping their surplus copper to Liverpool, where they sell it for 20 cents, gold, they make their corner and Bell their copper in New York for from 35 to 41 cents. Ic ls the salt swindle over again. LIVELY LA\7QIVERH. Mr. Conway Describes a Scene of Con¬ fusion in the British Parliament. Ia fais last letter to tbe Cincinnati. Commer¬ cial, Mr. M. D. Conway describes a scene which took place lo Parliament soon after Sir Charles [ Dilke made his recent speech touching the ex¬ penses of the Queen's household: Two men on the Tory benches got up and moved towards each other. They met la a moment's consultation; then nodding to their party brothers to follow, they marched out of the House.' The whole crowd ofTories follow¬ ed, apparently leaving the House; bnt only ap¬ parently. Tue 'cunning fellows had hlddea themselves behind the speaker's Chair, where the genius of Britain, or Britannia, waved her magic wand over them, and they were all transformed into the familiar society of the barn-yard. So at least one would judge (rom the sounds which proceeded from the re¬ cess of Invisibility. The next word Herbert spoke waa answered by something like a bleat; his further sentence was punctuated by a co w- cborus; then his voice was drowned by voices which showed that the geese had mingled In the melee to save the constitution as Borne ls said to have been once saved. Finally one member behind the speaker uttered a stento¬ rian crock-crow. The House had drawn so near to the dunghill that Mr. Dodson could stand it no longer. He rushed from his seat, along the table, until he had come within ear¬ shot of the speaker, who-sat pale acd trem-1 hiing, and said: "I wish to know. Mr. Speaker, whether the honorable member who uttered that sound was In order!" Mr. Dodson did not mean a joke; he was in sad earnest. Nor did the speaker mean a Joke when he an¬ swered gravely: "This House has certainly heard sounds to which it has hitherto been un¬ accustomed." At this time the entire Con¬ servative party visible in the House amounted to three. Seeing this, an effort was made to put a stop to the discussion and prevent a vote by a count-out. A member said he thongbt a quorum was not present, and the" House was counted, but more tbun the requisite forty were found present. But after Herbert had got out another sentence, Lord Eustace Cecil arose and with profound solemnity said that lt seemed to bim that the House had much thin¬ ned since the last count, and demanded an¬ other. This count over, yet another was de- manded ; there were three attempts at a count, and within ten minutes. This manoeuvre having failed, Lord Eustace Cecil cried, "I espy strangers In the gallery." The galleries were cleared with the exception of that de¬ voted to ladles. GLADSTONE AND IRELAND -A deputation from Belfast, Ireland, waited on Premier Glad¬ stone, on Wednesday, and presented to him an Invitation bearing tbe signatures of three' thousand of lu citizens .to visit that city, ac¬ cept Its hospitality and deliver an address. The document handed to Mr. Gladstone heart¬ ily recognized the great services rendered by him to Ireland and Its people. The premier, in response, took occasion to speak at some length in explanation and defence of his Irish policy, and expressed a strong wish for the welfare of Ireland. He said that it would be a great deprivation If be should find mmself unable, from pressure of public duties, to visit Belfast. He closed by accepting, conditionally, the Invitation as that of the whole, rather than as a portion ot the people of Ireland, and said that be would communicate at a future time with the deputation as to the exact date of his visit. _ DOES a MAN SUFFER AFTER HIS HEAD IS COT OFF.-It seems as if those nations which have decapitated persons condemned to death, on the ground that it was the most merciful method ot judicial execution, have been maklug a grand mistake, and condemning their victims to useless and prolonged agony. At least, a number of eminent German savans have decided that the head retains conscious¬ ness for some hours alter lt ls severed from the body, and suffers, meantime, exquisite pain. The Emperor William has been con¬ vinced by their arguments, and has decreed the abolition of decapitation throughout the empire. Hotel Arrivals-April lo and 14. PAVILION HOTEL. B. E.

A MIGHTY UPRISING.TBE LIBERAL REPUBLICANMEETING

AT TBE COOPER INSTITUTE.

Trumbull, Schurz and Greeley Shoul¬der to Shoulder-Immense Enthusi¬asm-The Great German SurpassesHimself-A Broad Declaration of Princlples.

NEW TORE, April 13All the morning papers give rall reports

th» Liberal Republican meeting held?evening. General opinion istbat the gathlng was the largest and most enthusiasticpolitical meeting ever held In this city. TheWorld says : "It ls now certain tbat the Oin<rfnnatl Convention will nominate a ticketand unless Borne great blunder Is perpetratedin the selection or candidates, that ticket wlliuni io all the elements of opposition. Tbe Democrecy will not put obstructions in the wayofa movement whicb seems to stand on

strong "a basis, but lt must neverthelessserve its final judgmeat until the presenthopeful anticipations ripen Into establishedfacts.BInnhe preface to Its report the World says

'.Last evening the first gun of the comingPresidential campaign was fired in New Yorkunder Imposing circumstances. The greattide of national reform which bas swelled andsurged lor mouths past through the land withIrresistible volume, rose then to its highestpoint and swept everything before it. Theannouncement that several of the ablest andmost honorable United States senators wou

expound the principles of this mort-ment,favor of sound statesmanship and agalnet theabuse of good government, attracted au immenee concourse ot people to hear their elo

Suent wards on behalf ot the new reformever, since the Cooper Institute was built,

has such a tremendous audience filledthe large hall of that build.ng. In thesquare, on the sidewalk, and In frontot the institute, a dense crowd congregated at an early hour, and strove, longalter it was announced that the hall wasfilled, to gain an entrance within. The firingof caanoD, and the explosion of fireworks, at¬tracted still greater numbers to join the multltude already collected; but they came onlyto be disappointed. At half-past seven o'clockthe police refused to admit any more personswithin. The doorway, corridors and stairways were then Jammed to suffocation. Theoutlets to the main hall were blockadedwhile the hall itself was a dense, excitedcheering mass of struggling humanity. Toestimate the size of the crowd would be Idlebat lt ls enough to Bay there were thousandspresent and almost as many more turnedaway without gaining admission. The hallwas utterly Inadequate for the occasion, andlt ls evident that lt the needs of tbe Reiormera during tbe coming campaign are-io beconsulted, we must have another and farlarger meeting place in New York to containthem. When they met in council, the crowdwaa as respectable as It was large, andcomprised many ol our most prominent-citizens. They were well dressed andwelM to do, including merchants andprofessional men, mech&uics and politicians,Democrats and Republican?, Germans, andAmericans, without regard to opinion or conditton. It was an audience comprising thewealth, respectability and Intelligence of thecity, and was truly representative lu character. The hall was decorated with the Amer¬ican flag and a number oí small streamerswhile a brass band played appropriate airs atIntervals, The platform waa not less crowdedthan the auditorium, many noted persons belng. noticeable. The meeting was openedpromptly at eight o'clock, by the selection ofFrederick Conkllng as chairman, which poslHon he filled with excellent judgment andgood sense, pacifying the audience when disturbance occurred-owing to efforts of thecrowd outside to force their way into theroom, and preserving order In spite of the.difficulties under which he labored. Amongthe vice-presidents were Horace Greeley, Sin¬clair Toucey, Hoses H. Grindell. Hiram Barney. Charles A. Dana, Marshall 0. RobertsJudge Blatchford, Samuel Sinclair, GeneralJohn A. Dix and a number of prominent Ger¬man citizens.'' %

The following declaration oí principles wasadopted at the opening of the meeting:That political action in Individuals and cou

Tentions should bu free from the Influence ofpolitical patronage; that business men shouldnot, under the fear of unjust official interference In their affairs, be compelled to pay trib¬ute for political purposes; tbat public officesare, or should be, created lor public conveoience, not as rewards for partisan services norfor personal aggrandizement; that the acts ofofficials should bo confined within the strictletter ol tbe law; that the triumph of RepubHean principles ls ol paramount Importance tothe country; tbat the success of these prin¬ciples In the approaching national electionshojnld not depend upon any one Individualthat the prosperity of the country demands a

thorough, radical and immediate reform in allthe departments of the public service, civilmilitary and naval, and that the "one-term"principle for the presidential office will con¬duce more to that end than any other.measure.. Senator Trumbull was received with tumul¬tuous cheering, which, however, was sur¬

passed by the enthusiastic applause from allaides when Horace Greeley appeared on the

platform and took a seat near the speaker'sstaad. Trumbull spoke with great energy andfire, and not only e'eci rifled, but also Inter¬ested his audience by bia eloquence. Hisassaults on the centralizing tendencies ot thepresent administration were bailé* wltb Indig¬nant cheers, and he astonished bis hearers byshowing them the despotism which threatenedthe safety ol tbe Republic. He upheld, in un¬

qualified language, the true Democratic doc¬trine ol Slate rights, and while denouncingrebels as traitors, he yet said they were neverthieves. He warned his audience against thedangers of a centralized authority, which hasalready established, In different States of theUnion, tribunals lor the adjudication of theproperty and lives of the people, "object to Itsown control, and said thia power was lu greatdanger of abuse. He said:

"There are several causes for the dissatis¬faction of the peop'e which I can only brieflyallude to. But one cause of complaint whichproduces the alienation of the late Insurrec¬tionary Stales and keeps alive the hates andanimosities engendered by the war, ls the con¬tinuance of political disabilities after the oc¬casion for them bas passed away. In conse¬

quence of this continuance the governments Inthe late Insurrectionary States have tallenin iff the hands of Inexperienced and in manyInstances corrupt adventurers, who haveplundered the people ot these Slates scarcelyless than you In the City oí New York havebeen plundered by your former city govern¬ments. [Applause.] '

uWby are these disabilities continued ?Why-are they not removed and all the people.enfranchised ? I thluk there are two causes,and two alone, which prevent lt-one merce¬

nary, the other political. [Applause.] Toemercenary one the adventurers showed by ex¬

cluding from office In all these states the formerleading men of large experience and capacity,and although they were traitors during thewar, they were not thieves or plunderers.Their exclusion bas thrown these govern¬ments into the hands of men who have usedtheir power to plunder the people over whomthey rule, and the debt ol tbe Southern Stateshave been swollen in some instances twenty-lold from what they were before the warbegan."One great measure, then, which is de¬

manded in the name of honesty, In the nameof peace, and in the best interests of ail, isthe pascatie ol a general bill removing politi¬cal disabilities.

"Another cause of complaint among thepeople ls the one In which the patronage ofthe government ts used-used as so muchmoney to carry elections-not in the interestof a party even-lt does not rise to that highdignity-but In the interest ot a iaciiou of a

party. The civil service system ts ihe parentof many, very many evils. I cannot stop to¬night to point out the officers In manyloc?'*ties wbo are taxed a portion of their salariesfor party purpose?, and if they do not performthe political duty required they are soon re¬moved and others substituted who will be ac¬tive in politics."4 -

Of the tendency to the centralization of thegovernment, the senator said: "It this systemof encroachment be permitted to 20 on, theday ia not far distant when our republicansystem, based on the idea of a division otpowers between the Federal Government andthe States, will be transformed into one Impe¬rial despotism, with all the powers at Wash¬ington; and I care not whether tbe power isexercised by a Bingle person as a monarch, orby Ave hundred persons called a Congress, ltis equally a despotism. [Applause.] And (hedoctrine is now boldly proclaimed by menhigh in authority that the States of this Unionhave Buch powers."Senator Schurz next took the stand, and

was received with similar overwhelming ova¬

tion to that of Trumbull, as the lion of the oc¬casion and the leading light of the Beformmovement. His speech was eagerly anticipa¬ted and attracted many persons, expressly tobear it. He snoke calmly and yet earnestly,using very full notes. His manner was notfull of fire and fury-signifying nothing-butclear, logical and convincing. His dispassion¬ate arguments did not carry away the feelingsof his audience, but they appealed to theirreason and held their attention closeiy. Hisvoice rang loud and clear through the vaulter!hall and throughout the packed, yet silentthrong, like the notes of a clarion. The audi¬ence seemed spell-bound, and only at Intervalsrecovered themselves" sufficiently to applaud.This, however, they did repeatedly and withvigor, showing the eloquence of the oratorwas fully appreciated. Each word was re¬ceived with attention, and every strong pointmade against the administration was fully ap¬preciated. As to the speech itself we canonly refer to the full report, which alone cande Justice to its acumen, profundity, close rea¬soning, wit and other admirable qualities.

The Administration Alarmed.WASHINGTON. April 13.

The meeting last night in New Tork pro¬duces a feeling ol' uneasiness in administra¬tive circles here, and shakes the BourbonDemocracy. There seems to be a growingdisposition upon the port of the more conser¬vative Democratic leaders to unite their for¬tunes with the Cincinnati Convention. Mal¬ters are mixed.montgomery Blair and the Iliberal Re«

publicans-The Pennsylvania Situa¬tion.

WASHINGTON, April 12.The editor of the new weekly Liberal Re¬

He declares tba* the presentdelegates "are not men of proper character,"and that "they were selected by a ring ot un¬

ERING STRENGTHEVERYDAT.

Strone; Words from the New Tork Post.

[Prom the New York Evening Post, April 9 ]The movement of the Liberal Republicans,

which threatens to organize and to take per¬manent form at the Cincinnati Convention on

tbe first oí May, seems to be gathering forcerapidly. Ihe manifesto of the New Toft"boilers" has been quickly followed by a man¬

ifesto from the Liberal Republicans of Wiscon¬sin; calls for Reform Conventions In Iowa,Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Loui-laoaand New Jersey have been published, andwords of approbation have been pronouncedby prominent Republicans in Massachusetts,Pennsylvania, and lu other States in whichthe Republican party ls predominant, all look¬

ing towards' the entorcement ol the prom¬ises of reform which have remained un¬

fulfilled for four years. The character ofmany or the men who have lately encouragedthis independent movement seems to Indicatethat unless the Republican leaders promptlyreject the timid advice of the office-holdersand the senatorial ring, and denounce laemercenary overtures of the monopolists whoare besieging Congress to postpone reforms,tbe nomination of a second Bepublican can¬didate tor President is as nearly certain asthat General Grane will be renominated atPhiladelphia. The late elections In NewHampshire Connecticut and Rhode Islandgive strength to this opinion, tor, while theDemocrats would have accepted victory inthose States as a precursor of their nationalsuccess, now they accept defeat as a commandto be passive in the national canvass,allowing the Republicans to conduct thecontest among themselves, and support¬ing that side which they Judge tobe the moRt favorable for the country.The responsibility for this condition of po¬litical affairs belongs to the Republicans luCongrens. The convention at Cincinnati,which at first should have been accepted byall as simply an advisory meeting to Influencethe action of th*« National Republican Con¬vention, seems ¡Ikey to be forced Ino an In¬dependent position by the inaction and mis¬management ol the leaders in Congress.A GUN EOR CHAS.

the fighting soldiers in the war, sends a com¬

munication to the Bepublican concerning a

statement that be was a candidate for delegateto the Philadelphia Convention, and would gofor Grant. He declares himself as follows:As I had some time previous to the date of

the above article declined to »low the use ofmy name, I cannot suppose th-u the selectionwould be approved. But lt seems to me onlythe part ofcandor to declare that, while I amflattered to learn that my nam* nas been con¬sidered tn connect o-i with so distinguished aposition, I am not to b- counted on to "go forGrant," if that means, as I fear ic does, blind

allegiance to tbe group of politicians underwhose control Genera! GrantJISB unfortunate¬ly placed himself, and whose solicitude seemsto be greater for the Republican party thanfor the welfare of the country. But I am wil¬ling, as I know thousands of other good sol¬diers and good Republican?, now "counted onto go fer Grant," and good men of all parties,are walting, for the nomination of a manwhose administration shall be above suspicion,not above Investigation; who cannot be usedor abused by any set ot selfish politicians ofany party; who will illustrate the true mean¬ing of "Civil Service Beform" by benefitingand enriching the nation and not the Individ¬ual: whose ability as a statesman ls balancedby nts Integrity as a man; whose great servi¬ces to his country in the darkest days of ourc' rii war, when single-handed at the EnglishCourt he stemmed the tide of foreign inter-ventiou with skill and fearlessness unsur¬passed, can never be forgotten by those towhom the honor of their country ls as dearas her success; whose name ls CharlesFrancis Adams, and whom, If the CincinnatiConvention shall have the wisdom to nomi¬nate, the people will have the independenceto elect.

We are requested to publish a copy of thefollowing telegram, which was sent to Chica¬go last night, In order to correct one of themany erroneous statements which are dallytelegraphed from this city. It is very wellknown here in all political circles that JudgeDavis has carefully and becomingly abstainedfrom taking any part whatever lu the move¬ments to present bim as a candidate fjr thePresidency by the united opposition; that behas written no letters on that subject; that hehas made no committals; that he bas in no waychanged his original position, and that he hasgiven no authority for the statement as to bisluture course in regard to any comtlngencythat may arise:

[Telegram.]The statement published in Illinois, that

one-half of the delegation In Congress fromthat State is hostile to Judge Davis as a can¬didate for President, ls wholly without foun¬dation. Ou Inquiry their position ls found tobe about this: While they do not propose tointerfere in any way with the movement ofwhat are called Liberal Republicans, they donot disguise their anxiety that the action ofthe Cincinnati Convention will be such as tosecure the cordial co-operation ot all who de¬sire to shake off the military Incubus that nowendangers the very Hie of free government.Five of the six Democratic members, Messrs.Robinson, Marshall, McNeeley, Grebs andStevens, believe that in the life, person andrecord ofJudge D ivis are combined more ofthe elements of success, and less to urousothe prejudices, and repel pm riot lc citizenswho desire reform lu tho administration ofthe government, than in any other Bepubli¬can name that has been suggested In thisconnection, and that he would insure thatcordial co-operation ot all the elements of op¬position, which would render success a cer¬

WASHINGTON, April 9.Since it has been stated that Senator Sum¬

ner would be among those who would attendthe Cincinnati Convention, a studied effort hasbeen made by the friends of the administra¬tion, who maintain personal relations withMr. Sumner, to persuade him against going.The President and his friends admit that thepresence of Sumner at .the convention wouldgive great weight to lt, and would be likely lodraw off a large number ot the old-fashionedAbolitionists, who have heretofore trainedwith the Bepublican party, but who are dis¬satisfied with Grane Sumner has been assur¬ed by these disinterested Iriends that bygoing to Cincinnati he would forever shutthe door against a return to the partytold, and would place himself squarely on theoin- r side. Notwithstanding this it is believ¬ed that Sumner will go and take the conse¬quences.

THE COTTON PROBLEM.COURSE OF TRADE AT MANCHESTER.

The Short Supply of American Cotton-,Importance of a Large Crop.

[From Smith, Edwards A Co's Monthly cottonCircular, dated Liverpool, March 30, 1872.]Tbe Manchester market during the past

month has been extremely dull; very greatcomplaints are made by the manufacturing In¬terest of the Impossibility of selling except ata ruinous loss: there never has been any ac¬

tivity of demand throughout the month-InEastern cloth especially lt bas never been pos¬sible to sell except at a great sacriBce; snortlime has been spreading among looms, espe¬cially in the Blackburn district, and a ratherconsiderable quantity of machinery Is nowstanding idle or only partially employed. Themovement, however, has not reached suchdimensions as lo Influence the position of thetrade materially, either in the way of relievingthe Manchester market or ot seriously forcingdown the price of yam; though the demandfor it has been very slack of late, and spinnersfl Dd difficulty in selling, yet the existence ofold contracts has sustained the market mod¬erately well, and the spinning department hasnot yet become so unprofitable as to lead toany stoppage of spindles or any material re¬duction of consumption.The higher counts of yarn are still much

more profitable than the medium and lower,and ttois has a tendency to prevent the tradegoing on Surat cotton to any great extent, andwe cannot report as yet any serious change Inthe composition of the consumption. We be¬lieve the trade are still using fully 30,000 balesper week of American colton, and not morethan 12,000 to 14,000 bales East Indian.The accounts from the Indian markets keep

poor and disappointing, but (rom China ratherbetter accounts are to hand; the demand therehas revived, but prices have not as yet. Im¬proved enough to cause much Inclination topurchase In Manchester. In no departmentof the market is there heavier loss than InChina shirtings; lt can hardly be put at lessthan ld to lid per lb.The export demand of yarn keeps moder¬

ately good; Indeed this ls the healthiest de¬partment of the market, and as lt ls chieflyfor the Continent, lt shows that business theremust still be profitable.We cannot report any material change in the

prospects of our market since our last issue.We then Btated that the supply of colton fortblsyear promised to be poor and scarcelysufficient for the consumption, even grantingthat all the inferior kinds were brought Intoplay; while viewing American and other longstapled cotton by Itself, the position appearedmuch stronger, and Indeed gave cause tor con¬siderable anxiety to spinners.During the past month any changes that

have occurred tn the prospect of supply arerather In the direction of greater scarcity.The American receipts have dwindled fasterthan any one expected, and three millions arenow looked upon as an extreme estimate ofcrop. Considering that spinners In AmericaBilli require to buy a considerable quantltv oftheir year's supply, lt Is clear that in a fewweeks the export to Europe must becomevery small, and we calculate that from the 1stJune lo 1st November very little cotton In¬deed can reach this country from America.We cannot see how our spinners can get morethan 23,000 or 24,000 bales of American perweek from now till November, and evengranting that they have still a surplus stockot 50,000 to 100,000 bales American, lt ls clearthat their consumption of this olass must belargely out down. We.do not yet see that re¬adjustment of consumption taking place whichls so necessary. The demand runs upon thebetter classes of cotton Just as lt runs uponthe better classes of yarn, and lt ls evidentlygoing to be a difficulty matter to throw thetrade sufficiently upon Bursts.Upon the solution of this problem no doubt

depends In a great degree the future of ourmarket. Taking all kinds of cotton together,aud allowing for strict eoonomy in the con¬sumption, a small export demand and theusing up of all surplus stocks, there may beabout enough cotton to enable us to pullthrough the year; but should the consumptioncontinue for some lime longer on Its presentfooting, there will obviously be a severe pinchin the latter part ol the year lor Americanand all long stapled cotton. The stock thenwould mainly consist of Bengal, aladras, lowSura ts and other unsalable kinds. It ls clearlygoing tobe the most difficult matter to get thepoorer sorts of East India cotton into con¬sumption this year, and therefore the figuresot supply, taken lu the aggregate; are decep¬tive, and givtftbe Impression of greater abun¬dance than is really the case.

It ls needful, however, to give full weightto the depressed state of trade In Manchester.The change there In the last two months Issurprising, and almost unaccountable to tno-ewho remember the buoyant tone that prevail¬ed even up to the beginning of February. Itis quite clear now that much of the businessdone io January was very speculative in char¬acter, and based either upon an expectedgreat rise In cotton or an Improvement in for¬eign markets, which has not taken place. Fornearly two months now the volume of busi¬ness passing bas been very small; and were ltnot for the large contracts heil by the tradeat the beginning of the year, a heavy fall inprices all round must have occurred. As ll ls,spinners have not suffered seriously as yet,and the strain has come almost solely on man¬ufacturers. It remains lo be seen whetherthe producers of yaru will have to divide theloss with the makers ol cloth, -tSo long as tbespinner can Work without serious loss therewill be no material reduction In the consump¬tion ol'cotton, and we Incline to think that thepoint ls Billi somewhat distant when spindleswill be put on short lime-indeed, we doubtIf there will be any short time of moment Ibisyear, provided colton docs not rule higherthan It ls now.The situation then seems to be that with an

Insufficient supply ot cotton we have to lace a

dull, dragging state of trade, and at the mo¬ment the two forces aoout balance eachother. Should any Improvement occur inManchester later on, a rise in cotton will beinevitable; should the depression last all theyear and the trade act cautiously, lt may bestaved off, but the posltlou will oe critical andconsumers will be kept anxious, at least titithe prospects of t he next American crop as¬sume a definite shape.No doubt the position of our market lo the

summer and autumn will be affected mater!-ally by the appearance of the growing crop.If it gets a good start, and opinions run mlavor of high estimates, business of all kindswill be reduced to a minimum, and spinnerswill be content to work without stock, andour supplv will lengtneu out surprisingly: butif any accident should happen the next crop,the position would be very critical, for therewill be no reserves left in Europe, and shouldspinners be frightened into buying largely inthe autumn, a very serious rise of pricesmight ensue.

Ic is Indeed a matter of great Importancethat the next American crop should be bothlarge and early. Of one thlug we may feelcertain, planters will do their utmost tofurnl.*h a Targe crop, and the only matter ofuncertainty will be the season, which ls, how¬ever, the most important element In the ques¬tion.

A CORNER IN COPPER.-The New York Worldsays: "Copper has been successfully "corner¬ed" lu this city. Within ten days the pricehas risen 10 cents a pound. It ia now quotedat 41 cents casn, and 35 cents for future de¬livery, from June to October. The price InEngland is £97 a ton net, or a little over 20cents, gold. Tne explanation of this corner lavery simple. The Hecla and the Calumet cop¬per mines can produce copper at 12 or 13 centsa pound. The mines are under the control ota few monopolists, who have obtained fromCongress a duty of 5 cenia a pound lu gold.Foreign copper cannot, therefore, be laid flown

In New York for less tnan 27 cents a pound,gold. At even 25 cents the Hecla and Calumetmillionaires would have a bonus of 100 percent. But they are not satisfied with thar, andby combining with a copper firm iu New York,shipping their surplus copper to Liverpool,where they sell it for 20 cents, gold, theymake their corner and Bell theircopper in NewYork for from 35 to 41 cents.

LIVELY LA\7QIVERH.

Mr. Conway Describes a Scene of Con¬fusion in the British Parliament.

Ia fais last letter to tbe Cincinnati. Commer¬cial, Mr. M. D. Conway describes a scene whichtook place lo Parliamentsoon after Sir Charles [Dilke made his recent speech touching the ex¬

penses of the Queen's household:Two men on the Tory benches got up and

moved towards each other. They met la amoment's consultation; then nodding to theirparty brothers to follow, they marched out ofthe House.' The whole crowd ofTories follow¬ed, apparently leaving the House; bnt only ap¬parently. Tue 'cunning fellows had hlddeathemselves behind the speaker's Chair,where the genius of Britain, or Britannia,waved her magic wand over them, and theywere all transformed into the familiar societyof the barn-yard. So at least one wouldjudge(rom the sounds which proceeded from the re¬cess of Invisibility. The next word Herbertspoke waa answered by something like a bleat;his further sentence was punctuated by a co w-cborus; then his voice was drowned by voiceswhich showed that the geese had mingled Inthe melee to save the constitution as Borne lssaid to have been once saved. Finally onemember behind the speaker uttered a stento¬rian crock-crow. The House had drawn sonear to the dunghill that Mr. Dodson couldstand it no longer. He rushed from his seat,along the table, until he had come within ear¬shot of the speaker, who-sat pale acd trem-1hiing, and said: "I wish to know. Mr. Speaker,whether the honorable member who utteredthat sound was In order!" Mr. Dodson didnot mean a joke; he was in sad earnest. Nordid the speaker mean a Joke when he an¬swered gravely: "This House has certainlyheard sounds to which it has hitherto been un¬accustomed." At this time the entire Con¬servative party visible in the House amountedto three. Seeing this, an effort was made toput a stop to the discussion and prevent a voteby a count-out. A member said he thongbt aquorum was not present, and the" House wascounted, but more tbun the requisite fortywere found present. But after Herbert hadgot out another sentence, Lord Eustace Cecilarose and with profound solemnity said that ltseemed to bim that the House had much thin¬ned since the last count, and demanded an¬other. This count over, yet another was de-manded ; there were three attempts at a count,and within ten minutes. This manoeuvrehaving failed, Lord Eustace Cecil cried, "Iespy strangers In the gallery." The gallerieswere cleared with the exception of that de¬voted to ladles.

GLADSTONE AND IRELAND -A deputationfrom Belfast, Ireland, waited on Premier Glad¬stone, on Wednesday, and presented to himan Invitation bearing tbe signatures of three'thousand of lu citizens .to visit that city, ac¬cept Its hospitality and deliver an address.The document handed to Mr. Gladstone heart¬ily recognized the great services rendered byhim to Ireland and Its people. The premier,in response, took occasion to speak at somelength in explanation and defence of his Irishpolicy, and expressed a strong wish for thewelfare of Ireland. He said that it would bea great deprivation If be should find mmselfunable, from pressure of public duties, to visitBelfast. He closed by accepting, conditionally,the Invitation as that of the whole, rather thanas a portion ot the people of Ireland, and saidthat be would communicate at a future timewith the deputation as to the exact date of hisvisit.
