Distribution of Offices.

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Commercial Advertiser, has complied
from the records, IA statement showing the
number Of offices under the Federal Govern
ment, which the Slave and Free States are
respectively entitled to-giving the ratios ac-
cordng to population.
The fourteen Slave States, and the District
of Columbia, are entitled To 1924 official pla-
ces or appointments in the Military. Naval and
Civil Departments of the Government The
total number, in Office, is only 2,548.
The fifteen Free States not including Cali
fnrnia, are entitled to $3.50 official places or
appointments, and the total number, in office
from these States, is 4, 4653
In the statement, the slave population is in
cluded, and by dedneting it, the number OF
offices would be about equaIizcd between
the Free aud Slave States
The account fairly stated would stand thus

CONDITION THE CoTroN MANurAcTURERs A
writer in the Boston Advertiser, who seems well to
understand the subject he discusses, declares there
has been profit realized from the manufacture of
coarse cotton goods for the last twenty months
There would have been profits he adds, if the raw
cotton had been sold, and not manufactured. The
rise in goods has been but three cents pound
while the rise in cotton has been six. We quote
from some of his statistics: ..t

FUGIrIvE-sLAvE LAW MEETING. A meeting of soms
three four hundred white and coiored men was held
at the City Hall last evening. VIM. H. Topp was
called to the chair, and Mossrs Lloyd, Pepper, and
others, addressed the meeting and thaT remarks were
appauded. They denounced the fu-
eitive slave law as unjust and unconstitutona and
at variance with human rights. The msesing broke
up, both colored and white expressing determi-
nation to resist tho law to the last. Should any of
the Shareholders attempt 70 reclaim any ronaways in
this city, blood and murder may be anticipated. r

The nominal market price of these goods is now
Il cents on months credit; but in fact they cannot
be sold freely at y which after deducting in
teest, guaranty, commissions, freight, and insur-
ance, will be reduced to 6.s5 cents, showing a diff.
ference of 60lOOths of cent between their cost and
the present value.
The product of mill of $4,000 spindles requir-
ing capital of $5O0,000, should be l3O. 900 yards
week, or 3,3SO,O00 yards for six MONTHS on which
at the present there must be loss OF $50 $50. The
drlings and shirsings will produce about the same
result.
The writer declares that machinery, with the pre-
sent prices of the raw material, cannot be worked
advantage; that the stock of goods hand has
er been larger; that one Company could be named
which has on hand the whole productions of seven
months, and another with goods amounting to eight
millions of yards of cloth, thirteen thousand bales
and worth n.ary half million of dollars.

bad prospects of the present year, 3D. the cheapness of
money in England. which has stimulated speculation
and 3rd, the European consumption caused by the
revival of trade. There is, says the writer, pros
pect Of relief from preseut embarrassment PARTICULAR
Iy account of the short crop, and the fact that
heavy amounts Of goods are in the bands ofmanufac-
turers, city Dealers and country merchants. High pr-
also add to the embarrassment and past overpro-
duction of these coarse cotton goods at home. In
the South, though the amount of machinery s still
small, the increase has been very rapid during the
last four years. ..f -s.....

10 the valley of the Mississippi there are $4,000,
spindles, $4,000 of which are engaged on heavy
sheetings, and the remainder upon No IA yarn. The
Southern and Western Mills 80 900 or one-
ninth Of the entire consumption of the country. In
Massachusetts, since the depression in I842, there
has been, in the larger towns alone, an increasee
ofl26.O0O spindles for the manufacture of coarse
cottons, nearly all ofwhich are owned in Boston.
The writer declares that the only remedy for the
existing embarrassments is to stop production, and
not to resume until there shall be greater reduc-
in the price of cotton than either two or three
cents pound. He desires an impossibility-the
stopping Of all the mills for six months, the effect of
which would be such enhancement on the price
of goods as would pay profit the whole stock,
create reduction in the price Of cotton and relieve
the market. We are now sending coarse cottons to
Great Britain, and need not fear competition from
that quarter. The writer also declares that un-
Til wages restored to the standard of 1874, there
can be profit in the manufacture of coarse cottons
and he urges that there should be an end to the work
until there is redress.
We give these views. all Of which are practical,
and many Of which are obviously true, for what
they worth. We have no belief, however, that
there will be any thing like suspension Of the manu-
facture Of coarse cottons. We undertook to give the
other day, another cause of this depression in New
England, and found a reason for it, we thought in
the greater cheapness of manufacture. Over-produc-
on, the high price of Cotton, and the glutted mar
kets we apPrehend, only incidents in the aggfe-
gate of evils complained Of by manufacturers. The
suggestions of the writer, large manufacturer and
good citizen, however, worthy the earnest con-
sideraton of those engaged in the Cotton trade.

in supposing the disputed Territory does not belong
to Texas he is nevertheless guilty Of papable

over the Territory, according to the limits defined by

full enjoyment Of all the rights of citizens Of the

The President is also wrong in supposing that the
acts to which he refers were ever designed 10 auth
orze the employment of the military force OF the Uni
ted States against one of the sovereign States of the
Union. But he is wrong in declaring that Texas is
not entitled all the territory east OF the Rio Grande
within her asserted limits. Her history shows the
Rio Grande was the line to which both she and Mex
jco looked as the boundary Of Texas In the arrange
ment entered into between General Cos the part of
Mexico, and General Bnrleson on the part Of Texas
the Rio Grande wac made the boundary. In the
treaty made with Santa Anna and Fisoa and others,
after the battle Of San Jacnto, the Rio Grande was
in the clearest and most unequvocal manner, made
the boundary Of Texas, which treaty though not rat
ied in due form by Mexico, enured her benefit, and

community must regard her as moraily bound BY II

Ii his biographers are to be believed,
s,he late Balzac, the great novelist, was
all his fe--slieast, up 10 his marriage
poslercd with 0vertures Of mairimony from
woman; his deep sympathy with the
sex, and profound knowledge of lhatmys-
ferrous Thing, a woman's heart, having
caused scores Of fair danes, young and
iold, gentle aud simple, rich and poor,
pretty and ugly, TO overstep lemaie mod
cstv so Car as TO lay themselves at his
feet. One day. il is related, ayoung and
charming Enelishslad drove up to his
houSe, III short distance from Paris, and
requested permission 10 converse with
the lIuStrious novel-wriler. Balzac, ac-
cusiomed to such applications, readily
compiled. The fair visitor Immediately
poured forth torrent of admirative elo-
querce, (which Balzac withstood with
great philosophy. She then requested TO
be allowed to visit his mansion. Balzac
showed her over il with some little pride,
for it was built on his plans, and was as
queerly arranged thing as could be con-
ceived. "And now, NJ. Balzac," said
The lady, you must be kind enough TO sell
me the house. .Oh, Madame /! il is all |
possessin the world, and should be sor-
ry to part with it,. 'Bnt will give you
anexcellent prce--sixty thousand poundsn
Sixty thousand pounds why, ii is not
worth one thousandn No matter--but
for that sum YOU mustleave me the fur
niture.' 1t is not worth hundred pounds
altogether 'And the hbraryr ST is a
very small and poor one" And your
manuscripts ? There are very of Them
'And--and-but-5ut, nj. Balzac, You
know-you understand-you--in short,
said the visitor, with desperate courage,
and bluslling rery much, i want the pro-
prietor toop .Ah / understand, madame,
you offer me marriage = The lady hung
down her head, and tried to mark circle
on the floor with her toe. After an awk-
ward pause, she explained that she was
widow, and rich THAT she prided herself
on being above the prejudices ofthe world;
that consequently, she having conceiyeda
violent passion for the great author of
such remarkable works, had ventured to
take what he would, perhaps, consider an
extraordinary step; that she hoped never
,heless, he would be indulgent-would
pity her peculiar position-with good
deal more Of the same kind. Balzac ma
tnrally expressed himselfhonoured by the
hattering offer of the lady, and he lament
ed that he could not avail himself of it.
ALAS l cannot give you my hand said
he, 'for my heart is filed with a devoted
yet hopeless passion for another' And
The lady went weeping away.

Germany in Arms I!

Prussia, it now turns out, refuses to be
the base slave Of the allied despotsms OF
Russia and Austria ; for the news by the
Europa, this morning, assures lis that, in.
stead of uniting with the Gar and the
Emperor to crush Hesse Cassel, Frederick
has drawn his sword on the right side.
A conflict has actually taken place be-
tween the Prussisn forces and those OF
Bavaria and Austria, near the village OF
Byolzel. In the neighborhood of Hssce
Cassel, the Austro-Bavarians have about a
hundred thousand soldiers under arms,
ready TO drench that devoted principally
whenever the word of command comes
from ST. Petersburg. Prussia has not
near so many soldiers to beat them back,
but the sympathy of the friends Of consti-
tutional freedom throughout Europe, may
help her to make up the odds.
We may be mistaken, but the sklrmish
at Byolzell looks like the spark which is
10 produce an explosion that will shake
all Germany TO lis centre. France and
Engla9d, it seems, have offered their med
itatioy, but matters seem TO have advanced
TOO far TO obtain peace by such Means
