required much capital to set in motion plan'a"o
for the raising of this staple, that none but rea caps
talls:s could accomplish SO heavy an undertaking.
Where vii the losses eventually fall? On the I'm
porters and merchants of the northern cities. Ihey
have paid dearly for their miserable deuslon, ana
hoped they will profit bylt. Of the M'y hiihohsaue
New York from other parts ofthe Union, more IMAM
twenty five millions fall in the Gotten states From
the very best sources of intelligence, am assured
that we shall experience dead loss out OF this amount
Of at least fifteen mlliOns II will take us long
time TO get over this wanton destruction of property
| So much for speculation! The condition Of the south
is better 1t calculated that the loss the fall OF
cotton fifteen millions of dollars, for the whole
o. the cotton growing district. This loss must be
made up by the planter One year or will lquidate
the whole amount. The breaking up of the cotton
monoposts in the southern cities will be advantage
the planter. 1t has just transpred that these
monopolists were in the habit of getting money out OF
the Mississippi banks at per cent, and advancing il
the planters of that state at Is per cent. The Mis-
sssippans are highly incensed at this conduct, but
what could they expect, when these monopoists
managed their banks either directly or indirectly
They did the same with most of the New Orleans
banks-the same with the Alabama banks-and mo-
nopolists will do the same all the world over
In moral point Of view, the long existence OF the
late system argues terrible loss of that great prncl-
ple-commercial integrity The operation of the sys-
had extended itself earfuy into all the ramifcatlons
Of society. Men, women and children were trying to
take advantage Of their fellow creatures without the
slightest restraint. Our decalogue was being deaced
so much that dim eyes could not read It's contents
Had not the 4th of March, 1897, come God knows
what the issue would have been. Every thing was
STEPPED in corruption from the office of President
down to that of the lowest mental in the land. Even
religion had caught the infection.
Politically considered, the last eight years Of specu-
ation had nearly overturned the structure OF gov
eminent set of corrupt knaves and demagogues
at Albany was moving heaven and earth to rivet the
chains Of despotism the necks Of the people, and
to govern them as Genghis Khan. This regency,
with Mr.. Van Buren, and Governor Marcy al its head,
had infused into every vein of the political body the
deadly poisons of deceit, hypocrisy, roguery and y
ranny. TO seek Office for the sake of the spos-to
administer it with view of holding il perpetually-
and TO secure as much of the public funds as was
possibe-were the great leading principles of this
cay unto. The rotten condition of the southern
trade encouraged and brought about by the prevailing
doctrines al Albany, did more to put Mr.. Van Euren
in office than aught else. TWAS great engine in the
hands of the cunning and unprinciped.
In an economical point of view the effects Of the
system of southern trade will long be felt. But men
eyes are open to their deluslon In Mobile New Or
leans, Naichez, and throughout the south, public
opinion is coming to the rescue. Hereafter fortunes
will not be made in an hour, among tho souihrons
new set Of men-a new set of principles will arise
among them. The lesson that the spring of 1897 has
taught them will long be remembered. They will
come back to that wholesome state of commercial
economy that once distinguished them and united 10
similar disposition the part of the northerns, we
may hope that our relations will henceforth be kept
up on the lofty principles District commercial negri-
ty-that the dealings between the north and south
will be based spon the Interchangeable foundation of the
cash system.
THOMAS S. HAMBLIN.-Rumor says that he in
tends to play at the Bowery Theatre. Ofthe history
of this individual SO little is known in this city that
considerable interest is being felt by good citizens
There is tradition in the Court of Sessions that he
j. convict but the truth of tradition is at all times
questionable. The old women say other things Of
him equally i'll natured. On inquiry however il ap-
pears ne was convicted of riot time since Ad
hitting this to have been the truth, very curious
| question comes up. How can convict play Hamle,
or Richard the Third?
Those who have never seen this individual may
know him by his proflse head of hair, and tragic
looking face He used, it is said to laugh good dca
but now his features a serious aspect the re
suit probably of the conviction in the Court Of SEES
SONS He is rather lame. Report says that he skin
nd his shins in endeavorlng to climb the dramatic
ladder beyond his height.
Doubtless the playing of Shakspeares great philo
sophica hero by convict will draw crowded house.
10 the Bowery II will be an extraordinary AM
chronological occurrence. We doubt If it be possible
that Hamlet can be represented by him. Richard iii
ought TO have been convicted before he was killed by
the valiant Richmond, and therefore there may be
possibility that the characters Of the murderous KIN!
and the convicted nster may nmagama,e sufficient,
| 10 produce a modern Richord.
Under all circumstances, the appearance Of Thos s
Hambhn on the Bowery stage, will constitute epocl
| in the dramatic art Mahomet had his era, and thu
historian called il the Hegxa On the occasion of thu
destination Of the drama by admitting convict int,
Shakespeare principal characters, the Hambiinrt
The Bowery will have full house.
