So much for.the matterof accuracy
in getting the crop reports. Let us J
see what was done in 1873. The New,
York Commercial aud Financial
Chronicle has just issued its annual
statement of the cotton crop of 1873,
from which it appears that the total
crop reached 4,185,534 bales, while
the exports aie 2,840,981 bales, and
the spinners' takings 1,321,080 hales,
leaving a stock on hand at the close
of the year of 108,152 bales. Tfce
total receipts at the Atlantic and
lrulf shippins ports this year have
been 3,819,436 bales, against 3,651,-J
346 bales last year. The movement
direct to manufacturers this year
reaches 237,572 bales. - Tbfollowing

These totals show a decrease in-act-

There are some figures of great in
terest to a Sontherh reader in . the
above. Notice in the manufacturers'
consumption that, though there was
a gain in Southern consumption in '72
and '73 over the year previous of sev
enteen thousand bales, there was a
falling batek in 1874-'7l. from, .the
year before, af nine thousand bales. '
This is a year of general decrease in
consumption, however. . -

THE IRON TRADE.

recovery of this branch of industry.
As railroads are constructed over
other parts of-the world the demand
for iron will 'rapidly increase. The
I United States may reasonably expect
to supply a large proportion of this
demand. The duty imposed on the

: Wasuixgto-T, Sept. 20. -
; The Postmaster General and Secre
tary of the Treasury, under whom
the vast bulk of the Federal offices in
the Southern States are held, have de-
terminea to dismiss any person noiu
ing office against whom any charges
of incapacity or doubtful official re
sponsibility may be made-with uaBk
cient substantiation in the way of
facts, and upon competent authority.
Itis admitted by both these officers
that a large number of persons en
tirely unfit by social status or educa
tion have worked their way inte these
positions. It is now proposed to make
so make so much of a concession to
the respectable element of Southern
society as to weed these miserable
creatures out as fast as they can be
reached. The late troubles in the
South have brought not a few of these
characters to the surface, and itis not
Wondered that there was so much dis
satisfaction-expressed. Without re
flecting upon the character of the
former Postmaster General and Sec
retary -of the Treasury it is quite
evident that . they were grossly de
ceived, and if a healthier slate of.
feeling. UHo "bJ encouraged in", the

possible that this sentiment .will soon
prevail in every one of the executive

This importation' 6f federai oflice
holders from other States than those
in which they, are appointed . has long
been looked pbn -as " a ; glaringAnis
take and steps will be taken ,.to. reme
dylhe evil. Npw that there are in
dications of a cessation of the hostile
spirit recently exhibited in portions
of the Southern States, the causes, of
'the troubles are beginning to be
analyzed and commented upon. The
