The consumption of raw cotton has increased
in the last eighty years to the remarkable ex-
tent of three hundred fold, and even in the fifty
years OF the present century it has increased
more than sixteen fold, and since the restora-
ton Of peace in Europe, in 1915, more than
eleven fold. Who can predict what that in
crease will be from this date to 1858.
The Washington States says of the Oregon
war debt, which amounts 10 over $4,000, 900,
"a combination of men, in high and low posi-
tons, composed of bankers, and it is said, sem
ators and their abetters, are getting, or have
are ady got, the control of this immense claim,
and will attempt to force it through congress
at the next session. These spectators, we I'M
dcrstand, have had their agents at work in Ore
gon buying up the different claims against the
government, based on the most extrayagant
rates, for a few cents on the dollar. The facts
before us, we think, will enable US to show up
this whole matter in its true colors, and expose
one OF the greatest attempts to deplete Uncle
Sans treasury which has ever been made
We regret to perceive in the New Orleans
papers the demise of Laurent J. Sigur, esq.,
He died at Pass Christian, Miss, of consump-
ton. MIR. Sigur was one of the original propre-
tors of the New Orleans Delta, and the master
spirit of the Inflated Lopez expedition against
Cuba, in which visionary enterprise be spent a
fortune and seriously embarrassed himselfin a
pecuniary sense. During the last congressional
contest he was the nominee of the southern
rights democrats of the third district, and his
defeat was much regretted by many political
opponents as well as friends He was high
toned, chivalrous gentlemen, whose memory
will long be cherished.
A writerin the New Y ork Times states that
numbered prominent democrats, among them
Sickles, the member ofcongress, and Belmont,

A correspondent of the Boston Courier estl-
mates that the abolition Of the ranking prvi-
lege would lead, directly and indirectly, 10 a
saving of five millions of dollars. Enormous
as this estimate may seem, we are not certain
that it is extravaganza. The documents that arc
ranked all over the country, would not be
printed if they could not be sent free. Enor-
nous editions are printed that nobody would
buy, and that hardly anybody would pay the
postage on. Of course there are some valua-
BILE works published with all this rubbish II
is probable that full a tenth part of the public
documents may be worth the paper that they
are printed on; but generally all that is worth
publishing in any considerable edition, would
find its way to the public through the newspa-
pers, and does now long before it comes in the
official documents. These documents should
be edited. The superfuous matter, almost
always more than half, should be omitted, and
only that which is new and valuable and wor-
thy of preservation, should be published in
large editions. What can be more absurd than
to print twenty thousand copies of a documen:
made up chiefly of meteorological or astrono-
mical observations, and to burden the CORES
pondence Of the country with the expense OF
transporting them to people who never cut the
leaves!
Undoubtedly, the first step towards the re-
formation of this great abuse, is the abolition
of the ranking privilege. We believe there is
no ranking privilege in England. certainly
ought not TO retain privileges that are aban-
doned even there. The rates of postage are
SO low that there is no longer an excuse for the
gratuity, and one would suppose, that the re-
lief to the members of congress would be SO
great that they would gladly take advantage
of the reasons that oppose the practice

AsToUSD1NG.-The hon. A. R. Wright, mem
Der to congress from this State, Georgia, has
written letterln gloritieation Of Douglas, which
contains the following intelligence:
g Mr. Douglas is.olnaost the only eery promi-
neaa democrat north that never fatered"
Now, this is a precious confession of the dis
reputable fraud that democratic leaders have
been playing off for years upon the people of the
south. If Douglas, who the democratic presi-
dent and all the leading democratic organs
maintain is stepped in treachery, is the best of
all very prominent democrats at the north, what
is to become of the south should she longer put
her trust in such a party? Savannah Rep.
The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1858-09-29

WHY so NERvoUs?-The so-caled democra-
cy are just now in a very critical condition.
The boiling of Douglas on the Kansas question
and the rejection by Kansas of the English con-
ference bill, has somewhat unsettled their pro-
gramme, and the acknowledged dissension in
their ranks consequent thereupon, fill them
with ill-concealed dismay. With wars without
and dissensions within, growing out of wide
differences of opinion and an almost unheard
of extravaganza of expenditure in the admins
tration of the government, the so-called demo-
cratic leaders and organs are watching the
movements in the political world with most
nervous anxiety. They see ghosts and scare
crows in every movement, and exhibit all the
trepidation OF a convicted criminal about to re-
ceive his merted sentence. 1t would not be
surprising, from present indications, if in the
midst of their fright, the democratic organs at
the south turn about and swear roundlv that
Doug las is the prosopopeia of national demo
crazy, and that the administration and its ad-
herents are guilty of treason to 'principles''
by opposing him. Atlanta Ga. J Am

The Judge of the criminal court, at Chicago,
in charging the grand jury for the September
term, called their serious attention to a great
evil and wrong, which prevails to an alarming
extent throughout the Union, subverting justice
and bidding fair to sap The foundation of soci
ETY.. The Judge said, il" During the past five
years that have held this court it has been
my unpleasant duty to try and sentence to the
state prison several hundred persons; and am
sorry to say that while it is an easy matter to
find jurors who are ready and willing to punish
poor offenders, without money, friends or posi-
ton, it is with great difficulty thatjurors can be
found who appreciate the fact that onebad man
of position and wealth can do more harm than
one hundred poor men can who are in the hum
bic walks Of life. By some miracle, juries but
seldom, if ever, find verdicts against persons Of
wealth or influence" The evil mainly owing
to the fact, that in nearly all such cases the
jurors, instead of promptly yindicating the out
ragged laws and satisfying the demands of JUS
tice, turn their entire attention 10 hunting up
some excuse by which the prisoner may be
cleared and turned loose on society.
