The Circular of Smith, Edwards of Liverpool, for last month, puis the follow- ing encouraging look upon the cotton proa- pect "Say that 4,500,000 bales is now the pre- vailing guess among conservative people in America, and the bureau report for the month of September rather points in that direction, indicatinjj as it does a condition four to five per cent below last year, while it puts the increase of acreage at 4 per cent, une tiling is coming to be clearly seen, our 1 cotton supply needs to be largely increased. else the trade will drift into an awkward position. The deficit discovered in our stock, combined with the small receipts in America, are making an ugly gap in the visible supply it is now about 400,000 bales less than last year, and unfortunately spin- ners also hold considerably less. At the end of last season continental spinners were well stocked this year they are empty, Our spinners have added about 40,000 bales since the first of September; but then they bad not a bale to spare.

We should think the visible supply must be at least 1,000 bales below last year. The conclusion we are forced to is that the world has consumed during the past twelve months 300,000 to 400.OOO bales more than its siinr.lv of cotton. 1 in spite of bad trade and much short time both in and the continent, and we will require for the cominsr' season an Amer- ican crop of at least 4,750,000, and also a larere addition from India, simrilv to meet consumption. Our reserves of stock in Eu- rope this year are uniformly small We will evidentlv reach a rjeriod in November, or carly in December, when our American sup- ply will be reduced to a handful; that may not matter much if plenty is then coming forward and crop accounts improve, but it will be a serious thins if cron accounts should be poor. On the other hand, it is quite true that Manchester is unable to pay an advance on cotton in the present wretch- ed state of trade.

This rise of prices is a great misfortune, and is exceedingly to be regretted when looked at from this point of view but viewing the matter broadly, it appears to us that prices of Manchester pro ducts have been allowed to sink far too low. The world will not grow a sufficient quant i- ty of cotton to produce an unlimited supplv ot calico at lOd. per pound a price lar be- low what ruled before the American war. Our cotton supply from all places except Egypt and America is drying up under the discouraging prices that have ruled, and we need larere and increasing: supplies from these countries to give the spindles an adequate The losses of late years have caused timidity, and increased receipts would pro- DaD1Y temporarily desti oy tne present act- vance.

South Carolina papers continue to call attention to the use of sulphur as a remedy for that terrible and seemingly unmanageable disease, diphtheria. Here is what Dr. Berley, a physician of that State, says of one particular case: "The subject was an infant, and the case an un- usually marked one. The previous treat ment by the parents suggested the use of sulphur, and I determined to give it a trial. prescribed nothing but small quantities of 'flour of intimately mixed with sugar, and given three limes a day.

in twenty-four hours the patient had been so far relieved as apparently to experience not the least inconvenience, and was playing about as usual. I commend this to the favorable notice of the profession, both because of its results in this case, and the ease with which the remedy (if found such) can be applied. I think au occasional dose will be found efficacioufe as a preventive of this dangerous disease." rri -em- tt r-4. Catciiixg the Tiheves -Elizabeth City, 2. Oct.

M. The best and finest dressed men we have seen in a long time, as a body, were those colored men in procession on Tuesday last, marching in the Good Samaritan Society. People who can furnish so many high-topped hats and broad-cloth coats should always have plenty to eat at home. The procession was very decent and orderly. tST The fire which occurred under the passageway in the Irwin corner building on Friday night, Oct 26th, was checked before doing much -damage to the building, but caused some loss to the occupants.

Berwanger Bro stock of Clothing was damaged by removal to the extent (as estimated by the insurance agent) of $500. Dr. P. Scarr Co's Drug Store, near the cellar of which the fire was discovered, suffered comparatively little loss, as no attempt was made to remove anything from the Store. It is thought that $500 will cover all damage to the Drug.

Store. The timely suppression of the flames prevented a pretty large confla gration. We stated last week that the next session of the N. C. Presbyterian Synod was fixed to be held in Wilmington in October, 1878.

After fixing the place, the Synod reconsidered and changed it to Goldsboro. fT The Young Men's Christian Association, of Charlotte, held their semi-annual meeting for the election of officers Tuesday night, with the following result: President Geo Hanna. 1st Vice-President.

CHARLOTTE, N. C. Friday, November 2, 1877. Information about Public Schools. We publish the following letter from Mr Superintendent of Public Instruction in ilil, State, addressed to our County Treasurer, Oj.l Iklk.

It conveys useful information to all Hh'Hl teachers and school committees: Department or Public Instruction, Kaieigb, Oct. 23d, 1877. E. Belk, Treasurer, Mecklenburg N. C.

jk.ir Your letter of Oct. 20th to hand. Xi.c Constitution of the State, Art. 9, Sec 3, and School Law, Sec 26, provide for four months' rublic school doling any one year. I think that cji i i i.

x-c. ju Oi uic cx-uuui uiiw uu wis iu view mueo it uc the word "Term" unless the fund for any District mar be too small for a four months' term, thin the length of the term will depend on the amount of funds due the District, or oo the time for hich the Teacher has been employed by the. Committee; and they can, in no case, employ a Teacher a Its term than "one month." The words "at the end of CTery term of a public school" Sec SO i.f the School Law, mean at the end of the time for hich the Teacher has been employed by the Com-iu i ttre. and not at the end of each month. I hare consulted the Attorney General, whose opinion agrees with the above.

When you know the parties and can save your-f If, you might pay a Teacher a part of his wages and take his or her receipt for the same, and then the close or the school give the receipts thus taken representing the money already paid, and require a voucher with its accompanying report to be turned orer to too according to the requirements of the Law. This, howerer, is a matter for your own dis-ca-lion. But there is no law fsr closing and turning over Touchers at the end of each month. You could not make a cerrect return of the number of schools taught and the enrollment, average attendance. Jcc, in each school, as required by Sec 83 of the Law, if such were the case.

II ad ties to all School Officers is to follow the Law. They then ike the Law responsible for their action, and not thtniaelves as individuals. Truly yours, J. C. Scarborough, Superintendent Public Instruction.

We are requested to say that Blank Vouchers for the payment of school teachers can be had on application to the County Treasurer, Capt. Belk, at the end of School terms. rjnr The negro speakers who are going through the country fooling and humbugging the negroes about going to Liberia, should be looked after by county authorities and magistrates and grand-juries might find it right to deal with them. The ignorant portion of our population should not be subjected to humbuggery without fair warning. Z2T Two companies of United States soldiers have been sent to Western North Carolina to aid the revenue officers in executing the laws.

We find the above in an exchange, and it is the first intimation of again quartering soldiers in this that we have seen. We do not believe there any necessity for U. S. soldiers in any part of North Carolina. If Revenue officers would act with prudence and proper discretion they would have but little if any difficulty in discharging their duties.

Last Summer an officer told us that he had been in the Revenue service a long time in Western North Carolina and had never had any difficulty. lie did not resort to brute force to execute the law when other measures accomplished the object easier and better. Special Accommodations. It will be seen by notice of Capt. Germley, Superintendent of the T.

O. Railroad, that an "accommodation train" will be run between Statesville and Charlotte on every Wednesday of each week, leaving Statesville at 5.30 A. and arrive at Charlotte at 9.45 A. M. leave Charlotte 2.45 P.

and arrive at Statesville G.45 P.M. Tickets for that train good only on that train and on the day purchased. The fare for coming and going back is put at a low figure to induce travel. It will be of great convenience to persons wishing to visit Charlotte one day in the week Tor trading or pleasure purposes. 1ST Read the interesting sketch about finding the body of Prof.

Mitchell in the Black Mountain in 1S57. The "Democrat" was the first paper In the State in 135? to announce the death and recov ery of the body of Dr. Mitchell, and we now give the first graphic sketch of the search for the body as related to Judge Schenck by the Black Mountain Guide, "Big Tom Wilson." Gaston Superior Court will not begin until Monday of the second week, Nov. 12th. All concerned will take due notice and govern themselves -accordingly.

Z3T President Hayes has designated Thursday, the 20th of November, as a national Thanksgiving Day. People ought always to be thankful without rt-gard to Mr Hayes day, or any other day fixed by Church or State. But, then. Thanksgiving days ailord a goor opportunity for a big dinner and a little fun, which is relished now and then by the best of men.

Washington letter-writers call himan "unknown man," and people arc inquiring "who is he." No doubt Mr Hayes knows his man. We are thankful that it is not old Simon Cameron. t3f The Wilmington Review says that Hon. Geo. Davis is the right man for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina.

No doubt there are several gentle ncn who would worthily and ably fill the position. tSf Mr Goode, democrat, of Virginia, introduced a resolution in the House vesterday endorsing the President's Southern policy.

Judges, whom some of our Democratic cote mpomrics say they would rather have as Judge in the Western District Courts than Judge Dick. Mr Beck's proposition to repeal the Act of Con gress requiring persous (who can) to take such an oath, should be adopted. Br" We do not deem it necessary to say anything more about the proposition to abolish the Western U. S. District in this State, only to remark that for our own part we would prefer Jutlire Dick to Judge Brooks to hold the U.

S. Courts in the Western District and we think we have as good a knowledge of the public men of North Carolina as any other man in the State of the same age. Jodge Dick is at least as good a man as Judge Brooks. But we are not particular about who shall hold the Courts, as we never have any business in either U. S.

or 8tate Courts and are not per- sonally interested in any way. All we ask, is an upright Judge and fair treatment of the people. ts?" Senator Morton died at his home in Indian opolis yesterday evening at 5.30 o'clock. tlT President Hayes, and Messrs. Evarts, Sher- man, Thompson and Devens, members of his Cabi- net, visited the Virginia State Fair, at Richmond, on Tuesday and Weduesday lust All were re- ceived with a hearty welcome, and all made speeches.

We. may publish abstracts of the speeches hereafter. This seems to be the day of good feeling and fraternal speech-making. "Roll onthebalL" Mr Thompson. Secretary of the Navy, hails from Iowa, but he is a native of Virginia.

Inhis speech he said: "It has been a quarter of a century since I was in the capital of my native State. Since then I have heard that the Old Dominion was almost depopula- ted. But this is a mistake. This is the old Vir ginia that it was in the past Since I have left my native State and become a citizen of another, she has seen terrible times and passed through a bloody war. But peace has returned, and we are now here to congratulate each other npon a restored and invigorated Union.

We in the North are ready to trust you, and we have the right to require that you will trust us. That is all about it It is not hard to do. It only requires that each ehall Recognize the duties that are incumbent upon the other." nai t3F We are pleased to see that there is a prospect of the IIuse of Representatives repealing the Resumption Bill. It should also pass the Senate. There is not enough money in circulation for legiti mate business purposes.

Of tliis number seven were recommended by leading Republicans of their localities.

All of them are in the South. The whole number A office-holders is nearly 100,000. ExcJiange. Not much of a showing for Hayes liberality. he would always appoint competent Republicans could be endured, but the fact is he appoints some very incompetent persons to responsible positions.

For instance, he is in the habit' of appointing ne- groes as Mail or Route Agents in the South, and the' result is the mis-sending and mis-carriage of much mail mitter. The office of Route Agent should be filled by the most intelligent men that can be secured. President Hayes takes good care not to put ignorant negroes in charge of the mails the Noi thern States. The most of the President's liberality consists in cheap talk and stump- speeches. tW A serious crisis prevails in France in regard rulers and the late elections.

Cramer, of Davidson, and perhaps others, are busily at work against him. Cramer claims that $117,000 worth of Wheeler's bondsmen are directly indirectly interested in evasions of the revenue laws, lie don't use the word "evasion" but that is what he means, putting it euphemistically.

This is looked upon as a good appointment. Baxter is classed as one of the best lawyers in Tennessee, and will no doubt make a most excellent Judge. He was well endorsed by the legal profession, Judge Swain, of the Supreme bench, paid him a vert high compliment.
