The LExINGroN.-Every day deserves to de.
velope some fresh and affecting incidents, touch
ing the late awful catastrophe in Long Island
Sound. The Newark Advertiser of Monday,
publishes the following interesting paragraph.
"Among the passengers who perished was
James G. Brown of Boston, young gentleman
OF devoted religious character, and greatly en-
dearetl to all who knew him. On the morning
ofthe fatal 18th he took leave of his friends in
this city, where he had recently formed most
tender connection. Among his haggage since
found on the beach, is his pocket Bible, ana Il
little volume called Daily Food consisting of
scripture for every month &day in the year. The
texts for January 1911 (he fatal day. were, with
singular appropriateness ,these-"Hc that endn'
reth to the end shall be saved ,'-'Walch there.
fore, for we know not neither the day nor the
hour wherein the Son of man cometh.' These
passages were marked by his own hand by a
turned down leaf, and from his known habits
had doubtless been the theme OF his meditation
| just before the melancholy catastrophe. The
portion of scripture marked ms recently read, is
the 23d, Psalm, embracing the triumphant eX
clamaion OF David: Though j walk through
the valley of the shadow of death will fear ne
ev il, for thou art with me; thy rod ana thy stat

The fact in tile above paragruph from the Pat
riot & Democrat, respecting the interference
OF the President OF the United States with the
business Of the court, in the case Of the Africans
taken in the Amlsrad, is one ct the most extra
ordinary and wonderful lhat has ever oc-
Cured since the establishment OF orr govern
ment Gen. Jackson, in case where it
was most clearly his constitutional duty to
lend his aid in carrying into effect decree of a
court, refused, on the ground that he construed
the constitution as he understood it, and not
MS the court thought proper to construe it.
But here if the facts correctly stated, The
ecntive authority attempted TO direct how judi-
cial tribunal should decide point Of law, ohvi-
onsIy for the purpose OF subscribing his own po'
lilical interests. 1t is honorable TO the District
Judge that he did not suffer this attempt at u
surpniion OF power TO succeed. And unless there
is some mistake in the account, the people of
the United States will, we trust, manifest in
some decisive manner, the sentiments they en-
terrain on the iec'.-HarJford Co,ram.

COTTON MANUFACTURES.

! Among the wonderful phenomena Of the
pre- sent age there isnone more striking than
| the importance which this branch of mauufnc-
lure has acquired, and The influence which cot
ton eXer,s on this country and tile commercial
countries of Europe. Fifty years since, it was
supposed that cotton could not he produced in
this country, and the first cargo which arrived
in Liverpool from Charleston seized by the
revenune officers who refused to- believe the
statements of the captain or The ships papers al
ledgug as u reason that it was impossible to raise
cotton in America. Our cotton crop now av-
erages $50 100000 annually, and is every year
increasing.
The amount of cotton consumed in Great Bril-
tain is 200 600, 900 lbs per gnnnm, and the val
tie orthe manufacture. $1,000 5000; number Of
persons engaged. so 600. In France the con
sumption is 75.00O,00O lbs value of manufac-
ftures $50 100000. The value Of cotton manu-.
features in Prussia SI500O,00O and in the Meth
erlunhs, $l0,0O0,000. In Switzerland they are
rapidly increasing, aud now employ 10000
hands.
The amount Of cotton produced in Brazil, In
dia, Egypt, and other portions OF South Ameri
ca and Asia, is rapidly increasing, and from the
chenpness with which 1t is there raised causes
serious competit on with the cotton of the Uni
ted States, although the increase of the manu-
facture will probably prevent its ever falling be-
low the present price.
Large quantities of cotton goods are now ship.

were confined to those situations where water

penses is thus considerable, since by building
manllnciory upon wharf or the bank OF nav
igable river, the land transportion of the raw
material is saved, as we'll as That of coal; wood,
and other indispensable articles required. Some
of the steam cotton mills, erected since 1885
have declared very large dividends, and public
opinion inclines strongly in favor OF their superb

waters. In Inland situations they would he less
profitable than those worked by water power.

JAN 1.-THE Y. States rs. Sami n. tPood.-The
dele ndants counsel moved the Court to discharge his
client from the suretcs he had entered nto in the
vii salts which had been instituted by the District At
torney for the recovery Of certain duties alleged to
be due to the government. IL will b. remembered
tnat Wood was tried ndietm emit for perjury;
In that case the Court had released his bail.
The District Attorney having been heard in oppo-
sition, Judge Belts delivered the Judgment Of the
Court In this case said his Hsner the defendant
arrested in the civil action before the act Of Congress
was passed abolishipg imprisonment for debt, sc.
But the decisions Of this Court and the first Court
Of this district have uniformly been that the act APP
plies to any continuing imprisonment or detention
equally as to the first arrest.
The action is debt, to recover duties owing from
the defendant to the u States and is therefore in it's
nature within these provi,ions The debt abliga-

ed in this Court in this upon the ground
the defendant came under an Indebtedness to them

paid.
am OF opinion, therefore, that the defendant is
entitled to his discharge. Let an order be entered
