Latham, Alexander & Co, in their cotton book for 1883, give some figures on the cotton crop which the Atlanta Constitution condenses as follows : The largest amount of money, these figures show, ever realized from a year's cotton crop, was realized in 1875-76. This amount was $399,000,000. The number of bales was 4,600,000. Last year a crop of 6.900,000 brought only 327,009,000. Though in excess of the crop of '75-6 by 2,300,000 balea.it brought $72,000,000 less money. In 1880-1 a crop of 6,60,000 bales brought $336,000,000 or 1,000.000 in excess of last year, though there was 300,000 fewer bales of cotton sold. In 1872 a crop of less than 4,000, 000 bales brought more money than a crop of virtually 7,000,000 brought last year. Commenting upon this the Constitu tion says : The meaning of this is plain. Good prices come with moderate crops. Big crops tumble the prices down to the point or general demoralization and loss. If the South could confine the crop to 5,500,000 bales a year for three years it would realize more money than if she raised three annual crops of 7,000, 000 bales. Another view is suggested. The cot ton crop of the past three years has brought into the South one theusana millions of dollars. If the corn, grain, and meat to make this crop had been home-made the South would be richer to day thany country in the world. If she could keep the cotton money at home for hve years to come, ner wealtn and progress would be the miracle of this century. The South will never, can never be commercially independent while cotton monopolizes the farm and plantation to the exclusion of grain, grass and meat. These should be first considered, cotton next. With full granaries, plenty of bay stacks, an abundance of meat at his own door, the Southern farmer can cultivate cotton to advantage, keep out of debt, and hold his crop, be it large or small, until it commands such price as will justify him in putting it upon the market. But with nothing to eat at home, compelled to buy supplies from abroad, at high prices, and purchase fertilizers on time, he is compelled to go into debt and put his cotton on the market at whatever price may be offer ed to meet these debts when they be come due. He is at the mercy of his creditors, and if the price happens to be low he is ruined. More grain, grass, stock, fewer acies in cotton and better cultivation should be the policy of every Southern planter or farmer whether he cultivates many or few acres. That some of the leading Southern planteis are beginning to take this view of it is shown by the following extract which we clip from the Edge field, S C, Advertiser: "Col O F Cheatham has just returned from Bridgeport, Connecticut, the great centre of Jersey stock farms in our country. While at Bridgeport, Colonel Cheatham bought six head of magnifi cent Jesey cattle, one of which is a fine young Comassee bull. Col Cheatham's design is to establish a regular stock farm on his plantation four miles north of our town. And while Col Cheatham builds up a Jersery farm, Senator But ler will convert his cotton plantation on Savannah River into a grass; and horse farm. The Senater is now in New England for the purpose of pur chasing horses for his beginning. Ha- good's grass farm on Saluda, Butler's horse farm on savannah, and (jneat ham's cow farm near the court house; these three will make Edgefield quite famous. The position f Judge on the U. S. Supreme bench is no sinecure, judging from the amount of business which goes upon the docket, which is now about doubl what it was ten years ago. At the present time there are 1,011 cases on the docket, fifty-four more than there were in the October term of last year. Many of these are cases of great importance, and require no small amount of labor in hunting up the law bearing upon them. The probabilities are that in the next session of Congress measures will be taken by providing intermediate courts, or in some other way to relieve the judges of a portion of this labor, which it is now impossible for them to properly perform. Another duel has been nipped in the bud in Virginia. At Washington, Rap pahannock county, last week in a polit ical discussion, W.W. Moffet,an editor, slapped Mr. A. M. Willis in the face Willis departed byond the territorial lines of Virginia .and sent him a chal lenze to mortal combat. But Moffet was arrested and put under a $500 bond which Willis agreed to pay if he would come over and join him in a pistol diver sion. Mvffet didn't believe in that kind of amassment and declined. While the Virginia duel is as harmless as it is we don't see what's the use of 'nipping them in the bnd. The assessed value of new buildings and improvements in the city of Ricn rnond. Va- in 1881 aggregated $440,865; in 1882 J $830,63. aid it is estimated that td September 15, 1883, the increased at least 25 per pent, over the like penpa oi It is said that Mr. Arthur will make the coming winter in Washington a very gay one. If Mr. Thurman desired to iro back into the United States Benate. he could make things lively for Mr. Pendleton. Among the first things the Ohio legis lature ought to do is to change the time of holding their State elections from October to November. Very valuable gold discoveries have been made in Alaska, and the probabil ities are that there will be a rush of gold seekers from the Pacific States to that frigid land. The wire fence-cutting business has become so serious in Texas that it came up for consideration before the legisla ture. A proposition to make fence- cutting a felony was defeated. Sunset Cox thinks "you might as well try to run a powder mill in hell as to run an honest government with an over flowing treasury." Mr. Cox moves about on this mundane sphere with his optics open. Henry Watterson said in his speech before the National Bankers Conven tion, in Louisville, in which there was considerable amount of hard sense and humor blended, "In old times we of the South paid our debts and wallup- ed our 'niggers,' now we pay our 'nig gers' and wallup our debts." Dr. Frederick D. Leute, an eminent physician and surgeon of New York, died in Putnam county, in that State, last Friday, in the sixtieth year of his age. He was a North Carolinian, born in Newbern. He was a graduate of Chapel Hill, read medicine under Dr Post, and afterwards under Dr. Valen tine Mott in New York.and rapidly won distinction in the profession. There was somewhat of a remarkable change shown in the voting in Ohio and Iowa at the last election. The Re publicans made their gains in the towns and cities, and lost in the rural districts, while formerly it was just the reverse. This may be accounted for perhaps on the hypothesis thdt not anticipating any trouble among the farmers, they worked harder and used their "soap" in the cities. ALASKAN EXPLORATION. Lientenant Schwatka's Account ol his Discoveries oh the River Yukon. A San Francisco telegram says : Lieu tenant Schwatka, of Arctic fame, who, with his party, was picked up by Lieu tenant Ray at St. Michaels, speaking of his trip up the Yukon river, Alaska, says they started from Fort Vaneouver, Washington Territory, on May 21st, being detailed by General Miles, com manding the Department or Columbia, to make an exploration of the Valley of the Youkon. He travelled 2,800 miles overland, reaching the headwaters of the river, where they constructed a rait of logs to navigate the stream to its mouth. They procured a crew of six Indians and proceeded down the grad- uaily-increasmg stream within 250 miles of Fort Chilcat, when rapids were encountered. Down them the Indians refused to go, and attempted to force the raft ashore. Schwatka, in order to suppress the mutiny, opened fire on the Indians, killing tnree, wnen the others submitted, and the rapids were run. The voyage on the raft was 1,829 miles. From the mouth of the Youkon they proceeded to St. Michaels, where they boarded the .Leo tor this port. Lieutenant Schwatka claims that he has been further up the Yukon than any other white man. This is denied by Signal-Service-Officer Leavitt, who has been stationed at St. Michaels, and who also came down on the .Leo. He says he ascended the Yukon to Fort Selkirk, 2,000 miles from its mouth. He describes the river as being one of the largest in the world, discharging 50 per cent, more water than the Mississippi, and as being at places seven miles in breadth. ' T i i. Oi. ... . ljivuicuuub oiuiej, wuu weui upuu the last trip of the revenue-steamer Thomas Corwin for the purpose of dis tributing among the Tchuckcbee In dians of Alaska the five thousand dol lars' worth of presents given by the Government in recognition of the fact that they afforded shelter and food to the orhcers and crew or the steamer Rogers, burned in 1881, reports the dis covery of an immense river hitherto unknown to geographers. The river had been vaguely spoken of by the In dians to former explorers, and Lieuten ont Storey, being compelled to await the return trip of the Corwin, determ ined to see if is existed. Accompanied by one attendant and an interpreter, he proceened inland from Hotham Inlet in a southeasterly direction until he struck what he believed to be the mys terious river. He traced it to its mouth, a distance of about fifteen miles, where he saw such huge pieces of floating timber as to satisfy him that the stream must be of immense size. He retraced his steps for a distance of fifty miles. where he encountered natives, rrom whom he learned that to reach the head waters of the unknown stream would take several months. The Indians told him that they had come down the river a distance of 1,500 miles to meet a fur trader, and that it went up higher than that. Having no time to go further Lieutenant Storey returned. It is his opinion, as stated by those on the Cor win from whom this information was obtained, that the discovery of this river accounts for the large quantities of floating timber in the Arctic ocean, which has popularly been supposed to come down the Yukon river. The In dians stated that the river in some places is twenty miles wide. It lies within the Arctic circle, but in August, when .Lieutenant btorey was there, ne found flowers and vegetation not hith erto draco vered in so high a latitude. He has forwarded his report to the Secretary of the .N avy. and hopes to De permitted to go back and continue his explorations. Progress in the Soutb. Col. A.K.

Col. MCbure carefully no ted the multiplied evidences of.

He says the presentation or the coal and iron resources of the Southern' States would be worthy of a Pennsylvania ex hibition, and that it is gratifying to ob serve the general and earnest drift of the Southern people to the practical de velopment or. ner Dounaiesi weaitn.

Edgecombe Guards' Committee Pender .Monument. Plan to Continue the National Bank System. Baltimore Sua. Ia the address of Mr, J. H. Linden- berger, of Kentucky, before tLe Ameri can Banker's Association, recently in session at .Louisville, on the banking system of the United States, a plan is suggested for the perpetuation of the national banks after the securities upon which their circulation is at present based shall have been extinguished by the process of redemption now going on. As the plan to be presented to Congress for adoption, at the instance of the convention, will probably be framed on the lines laid down by Mr. .Lindenberger, in his address, it will be of interest to consider his views some what in detail. Mr. Lindenberger has no doubts as to the advisability of con tinuing the national bank system, nor of the prohibitive tax of ten per cent, on circulation, by which the issue of notes by State banks is prevented, and a monopoly of the profits derived from the issue of notes is assured to the na tional banks. His plan provides for the gradual retirement of legal tender notes and the adoption of nation bank notes as the exclusive paper circulation of the country. The legal tender notes or greenbacks amounting to $346,739,891 it is proposed, will be funded into 2 per cent, bonds, redeemable at the pleasure of the government, these bonds to be issued only to national banks as wanted by them for the imme diate issue of circulation, to the extent of 90 per cent, of their par value. The issue of national bank notes based on these 2 er cent, bonds would amount to about $312,000,000, the net reduction of paper currency attending the opera tion being about $34,000,000. The fund ing off of the greenbacks would set free $140,000,000 of gold reserve held by the treasury for the redemption of legal tenders, and this amount being applied to the redemption of three per cents, there would be a net addition to the cir culating medium of $106,000,000. From this amount must be deducted the re demption fund proposed in Mr. Lind enberger's scheme, to be held with the treasurer, being ten per cent, on $312,- 000,000 of new circulation, and five per cent, additional on the $318,000,000 now oustanding, or $47,000,000 in all. These deductions having been made, the net addition to the circulating medium will be reduced to $59,000,000. It will be observed that the operation here pro posed involves the creation of a new interest-bearing debt to take the place of the $346,000,000 greenbacks now out which bear no interest. This is un doubtedly the weak spot in the plan, as it is improbable that the country would be willing to pay 2 per cent, on that amount merely for the luxury of per petuating the prohts or national bank shareholders. Mr. Lindenberger is not so certain of this, however. He urges that if the $140,000,000 of gold now held in the treasury for the redemption of greenbacks be applied to the redemp tion of outstanding 3 per cents, the net addition to the bonded debt from the funding of legal tenders would be but $206,000,000. If from the $8,650,000 to accrue annually as interest on the 2y2 per cents be deducted, the $4,200,000 of interest stopped on the $140,000,000 of 3 per cents paid off, the net addition to the annual interest charge or the gov ernment would be but $4,450,000, which would be a trifling price for the taxpay er to pay for the blessings of a perma nent national bank system. "There will be compensation," Mr. Lindenberger thinks, "in the growth of the national bank system ; in the great er unification of the banking interest, and its more thorough adaptation to the wants of business, which will pro mote economical methods in handling the exchanges of the country, and to that extent add to the value of pro ducts. Increased volume of business and legitimate competition under the new conditions may be relied on to p.ansR a reduction in the rate of inter est. This reduction may reasonably ha estimated at one per cent, per an num, without impairing the ability of the banks to make proper dividends on canital. and add to their surplus as con servative banking requires. On May 1. 1883. the loans and discounts of the national banks of the United States were, in round numbers, $1,257,000,000. The loans of the State banks, based on returns made to an anterior period, were $425,000,000. A reduction of one per cent, upon this aggregate would be $16,820,000, and this, if effected, would he that amount directly saved to the people in the operations of banks alone, with great indirect benefits resulting from the lesser burdens on business in- terAfits." It is to be noted, however, that the reasoning Droceeds largely on the sup position that the State banks will con sent to be annihilated, which is im probable. The speaker contended that Hi nresent tax of one per cent, on tne circulation of the national banks should be repealed, as "hindering their largest usefulness." Should the State banks succeed in having the ten per cent, tax imnnsftd on their circulation in tne in terest of their rivals repealed, it is not imnrhahle that they would preier to continue to exist, and would find their existence consideraoiy more prontaoie than at present. A Valuable Cow. A t.hnrnntrhbred Jersey cow, owned by Valancey E Fuller, of Hamiton, On tario, Canada, ana regisLereu as mary Anne, of St Lambert, (9,770) is under going a butter test for one year, and has completed the fourth month and an additional day, with the unparalleled yield cf 417 pounds 2 ounces of but ter, which issalted only one ounce to the pound. Two weeks of this test werei verified bv a committee of the Canadian Jersey Breeder's Association. The last week of the test the cow yield ed 27 pounds 9 ounces of butter. Sta tistics give the average yield of dairy cows during the grass season at about one pound of butter a day, and a cow that gives two pounds a day is regarded as very snperior. This test is the sub ir!fc of livehr interest among breeders, as it promises to show a yield greater than that of the cow Euotas, (2,454) that gave 778 pounds 1 ounce and bore a calf within the year, which is the best score of the kind on record. The two cows are cioseiy reiatea in Diooa. HL P. EDMOND, Successor to Ettenger & Edmond, RICHMOND, VA. WORKS ESTABLISHjED OCTOBER, 1850.
