TIE CorToS PLANTERS CONVENTION AND d.
RECT TRADE WITH THE SouTH-we perceive by
the Georgia papers, that the Southern cotton
planters have been holding an extra session of
their Convention at Macon, for the purpose Of
carrying out the idea Of direct trade between
he South and Europe, at which they appointed
two gentlemen-Coi Howell Cobb and Col. J.
S. Thomas delegates to visit the large cities
and towns OF Europe engaged in the manufac-
ture OF cotton goods, and gather information
on the cotton trade Of this country. Very
recently convention of Western men was
held in Kentucky, with view to arrest the
monopoly of trade and commerce in the Allan
tic cities, and divert it to the Mississippi valley
All these efforts to force trade out Of its natu-
raj channels are absurd, and never can result In
anything. Geographical position and other
local advantages will always initiate in favor
Of certain sections Of country in the growth
Of peculiar branches Of industry; thus nature
has allotted to the agricultural West its grain
and cattle, and to the sunny South its cotton
and sugar These are the specialties which
belong to them, and there is plenty of oppor-
tunity to develope these resources to the
highest capacity without making any spasmodic

ton, the Harper's Ferry treason, the combat
for the spoils, and other interesting events
which are destined to occupy the attention Of
the national legislature. The leading ques-
tons, among others which will be before Con-
gress, will embrace the subjects Of the organi-
cation Of the House, the election of Speaker,
Clerk, Public Printer and other subordinate
officers; the contested election cases, the acqui-
sition Of Cuba, protection of American citizens
abroad, the Pacific Railroad, the admission Of

with the matter of ocean mail steamship routes

All such efforts to damage the trade of New
York are idle. She has no cause to anticipate
any decay In her commerce, unless 1t is to be
found in the danger OF entrusting her govern
ment to the hands Of men who may inf,ise
an abolition and insurrectionary element
into her affairs. If our merchants do
not vote for Mayor belonging to that party

ing abolitionism, and support a candidate for

Tux GoLD AND SILVER Crop OF THE UNITED
SrATEs.-T'be Baltic which arrived at this port
yesterday, brought from California one million
seven hundred thousand dollars in gold, be-
sides, perhaps, q quarter of million in the
hands of passengers. The gold crop of Cali
fornia exhibits no dlminution In its yield, not
withstanding the immense returns Of the pre-
cioas metals it has been pouring out for the
past ten or eleven years. Indeed, 1t has been
steadily increasing of laie. We find that the
imports Of gold for 1889, up to the date of the
Baltic's arrival yesterday, amount to nearly
thirty-six millions, with three more shipments
yet to be received between this and the end of
the year, which will doubtless bring it
up to forty millions, and will show an in
crease over the shipments of 1853 of about
four millions, while the increase during that
year over 1857 was close on two millions. The
returns of gold from the Australian fields it
may be remarked, do not exhibit so favorable
record as this. Then, we have the Pixies
Peak and Fraser river mines, both giving pro.
mise of rich harvest in time. Up to the present
Pixies Peak has yielded from half a million to
a million, and the work has not fairly com.
meDced there, while the Fraser river mines,
which are longer in operation, have given from
two to three millions.
Arizona, meantime, opens TO us her fruitful
fields of silver, which promise to be album
dant and perhaps that Territory only requires
the aid of machinery, mining skill and a ready
transit to render it as valuable as California in
the hardly less precious metal. When the con-
templated road from Arizona to Guaymas is
opened, we shall probably have such another
rush OF emigration as the gold discovery in
California produced, and it is not unlikely that
silver will soon come pouring in as plentifully
from Arizona as gold from California, a fact
which will effect some change in the relative
value Of the two metals. Before many years.,
then, we may be counting the gold and silver
crop Of the United States oman equal footing
with our cotton crop, in value and Importance.
THE MAYoRAITY.-Now that we have got
five or six candidates for Mayor there seems
to be some abatement Of the question as to the
responsibility and integrity of the nominees,
and the party journals are beginning to talk
about Stewards election, and discuss the
MayoraIty question, as if it was a national one
and not local issue. If the Mayor is to be
selected for his national pelitcs, and not for his
honesty and efficiency, the contest would ap-
pear to be narrowed to Fernando Wood and
Mr.. Opdyke. Wood is the truest representa-
tive of the democracy in the field, because
Havemeyer is free soiler, and Mr.. Opdyke is
profeesedly an out-and-out republican. Is that
to be the issue?
