COTTON

Cotton, in the year 1916 averaged about 3
cents the pound; the present average price is csti
mated to be 3. This diminution OF the price has
been the dgccied cause of the doctrine Of uulliica
ton, subsequently got up by the Calhoun party of
South Coroina, and, for political aud party rrpo-
scs, advocated by few desperate politicians in va
rIous parts of the Union. 70 take an abstract
view OF this matter, the enemies of the Union

New YoUK CANALs.-Wc beg leave to call attcn-
ton to the following extract from the Report of the
Committee on Rail Roads and Canals, in the I.cgis
lature of New y ork. The facts which it discloses
in relation to the income Of the Canals of that State
truly astonishing.
"AccOrding to the Report of the Committee on
Canals, and your Committee have examined it with
great care, the of the State are far be-
yond what the most sangunc friends of the Canal
anticipated. The amount OF surplus monies and
stocks, hand, applicable TO tnc cxtinguish-
ment of the Erie and Chumpain Canal debt, will be
amount of debt is S7,OOl 900, rcdccmablc in 1887
and 1915. From the result of late years, the Com
mittcc would be warranted in calculating the in.
crease of tolls at the rate of 5000, eco per wear
For the two past years the increase has been much
greater. The amount tins year is about $ 200 000
over and above interest, expenses Of repairs super
ntcndcncc, &c; but to place the calculation beyond
all doubt, we will assume one million 5 the annual
nett income from the various sources of the canal
fund. Taking this a data it will he perceived
that the Canal debt will not only be DISCHARGED in
the year 1887, but that large surplus will remain
III the Treasury Calculating according to the true
and correct returns and i'm accordance with present
prospects, surely doubt cannot be entertained that
the State will hc III funds TO discharge the canal debt
at the end OF j0W years from this period.
"lt this be correct, and your Committee are well
assured that is So then the State can 90 on with
Internal improvements, without the least ,.rospcct
OF resortng to direct taxation.
ono fund is required for this purpose, no Indirect
or direct taxation, selling of public lands or en-
cToaching upon the general fund"

She was upright member Of the Baptist Church

not supply. But when they reflect for a moment.
that she is gone from the evils to come, and that
she is enjoying the blessed presence of her God.

In the French Chamber of Deputies on the 2jth
Feb. the Minister Of Commerce, in reply some
questions regarding the Cholera, observed that the
disease appeared to have gradually diminished in in
tcnsity it spread in Europe and that if it existed
at all in England, of which there seemed to he con.
siderable doubt, it appeared to be occasioning no
more evil than an ordinary epidemic. At any rate
he added, Government had determined, III the event
of the disease reaching France not to adopt the
system of isolaing those attacked by it, which had
been found TO produce more harm than good.
