Cotton had further declined from one to

small and the markets extremely DUH
The money market continued in the same
state as by the first advices. The Bank OF
England, it was said, had determined not to
advance the rate of interest beyond 81 per
cent. This, with the fact of an increase oil
the revenue for the last quarter, affected
money matters somewhat favorably.
The crops in England are said to be very
promising, and in some parts the harvest
had already commenced.
The papers publish full details of Lady
Flora Hastings. Her remains were conveyed
TO Scotland for interment. At the request
of her father post mortem examination of
her body was made, and the result forever
put at rest all doubts as to the innocence of
the charge that had been preferred against
her character.

ANOTHER RICHMOND IN THE
FIELD

At democratic celebration in Pittsburg, on
the 18th, the following exquisite eulogium
on the artless Amos was given in the shape
of sentiment by one Mr.. Ker:
"The traitors TaIlmadge, Rives, M'Kean
and their federal codjutors who baselv at
tempted to cast stigma on that sterling de-
mocrat, Amos Kendall-the sovereign peo-
pie willreward him by placing him over the
recreant senator's in 1910.
So Stevenson, Forsyth, Polk, Poinsett,
Benton, Buchanan and Johnson do not
constitute sufficiently numerous galaxy of
aspirants for the honors of the vice presiden-
cy; the name of the puissant Amos must be
added to this host of political consultations.
How peculiarly fitted Amos Kendall is for
this RESP onsible function every one must
acknowledge: His spotless integrity, his
scrupulous mpartiality, his undertaking pa
triotism, his nobility of soul, his utter free
dom from every faint of baseness, eminently
entitle him to preside over the deliberations
of body, which, like the United States Sc
nate, is composed Of the master spirits of the
republic. Van Buren, president and Amos
Kendall vice president-~what harmonious
union of opposites it would make! The
quiet Discrimination of the chief magistrate
would be quickened into activity and enve
nomed into open malignity, by the satanic
suggestions of the coadjutor; and the lnesti-
mable qualifications of the two for retaining
power, and perpetuating the democratic dy-
nasty, would be such as defy security the
fruitless opposition of their antagonists.

dency viii be thrown into the scale Of one
or the other of these great states, TO buy
votes for tho Magician in 1910. Ii the three
great states Of New York, Pennsylvania and
Virginia can be secured, Mr.. Van Buren,
succeeds. New York he almost despaiTs Of,
and hence his present electioneering jour
ney. To the same origin may be traced the
movements of the Administration in Penn
sylyania and Virginia in reference to the
Vice Presidency.
The uniform practice thus far shows the
inequality of the system. No vice-presideDt
has ever been taken from small state. II
Is true, the nomination was once rendered
to citizen of New-Hampshire; the patrio-
tic Gov. LANGToN; but it was at time Of
life, when every body expected he would
decline, and he did decline the nomination.
Since the adoption of the constitution the
Vice President has been taken from New
York "a years, Massachusetts IL, South
Carolina s, Kentucky 4, and Virginia 4. Il
is now rendered certain that Col. Johnson
cannot carry Kentucky for the Magician
| Virginia he must have, or lie is lost
| We shall see what effect the Vice Presiden-
CIV will have upon the Old dominion.
We are not alone in our opinions on this
subject. Our own views on this point were
formed some years ago, from the perusal Of
several very able Essays on Government
/ from the pen of Governor PLUNrER of New
Hampshire, published in the newspapers, in
one of which he discusses the same subject
at Iength--and so far we canrecollect, moi
being able to lay our hands upon the papers
we have embodied herein the scope of his
argument. The editor or the ''World" i:

political writer, and can doubtless add much
to the force of what we have here hastily
thrown together.
