THE COTTON CRoP.-There is much atten-
ton at present given to the probable future of
the cotton market. 1t is well understood that
the high estimates made early in the autumn
as to the amount of the crop were not too large,
as it will probably exceed 100000 bales
With this fact, and the last years consumption
of the world before us, it is clear a surplus will
be carried over. The foreign markets re-
quired last year only about 100000 bales of
our crop, which our home consumption is
shown by the cotton tables to have been about
eight hundred and fifty thousand bales, and if
the consumption of 185960 should be increased
ten per cent, which is not at all probable, we
shall have surplus of over 100000 bales. 1t
is known that our spinners have not taken cot
ton in the same ratio as last year, the deliver
les being some 10000 bales less than for the
corresponding period, which leads many to
suppose that the quantity taken last year by
our spinners was no accurate criterion of the
amount consumed, as it is believed that at no
period has the consumption of cotton been
greater than at presently. Y. Trib

MANY of the citizens of Maryland are en-
tirely dissatisfied with the action of their Leg
islature, in passing a vote OF censure upon
Henry Winter Davis, for terminating the pro-
tracted contest for the Speakership by voting
for Pennington, and meeting held in Cumber-
land, one evening last week, brought out many
old and influential citizens, who approve of
Mr.. Davis vote. With the intelligent and
high minded portion of his constituency, Mr.
Davis will hold an infinitely more favorable
place than if he had continued factious when
faction was fruitful of nothing but mischief.
1t is stated that all the opposition journals in
Maryland but two have sustained Mr. Davis
in his vote for Mr.. Pennington as Speaker.
The malcontents are not regarded as indexes
of public sentiment

MAzA1RoN.-Horace Ayres has for sale a
new cream of tartar substitute called "Mazai.
ron" which is simple phosphate, and con-
tains nothing but what is found in beef steak,
corn, wheat and other cereals, and is there
fore highly nutritious. 1t was originated by
Prof Horsford of Harvard College, and has
secured high testimonials in its favors. Those
who are not favorable to cream of tartar for
cooking purposes are advised to try Mazairon.

T. .ha lower branch of the Legislature Of
Nv York. last week, an occurrence took place
,orv unusual in its character, and, while men
continue exposed to the dominion of bad pas
sions. likely to be quoted as precedent here
after. 1t appears from the debates that the
Speaker had made some partial revelation Of
corruption, ard implicated some member or
members who were not named, in a scheme
to defeat the pro rata freight bill by bribery.
Mr.. Hugh Allen, a member of the Assembly,
and deeply interested in the success of the bill,
had stated in private conversations that Mr.
W. T. B. Milliken, also a member, was the
D erson Charged with asking 100000 to de-
ment in debate, and denounced its author,
Mr.. Allen, as a "calumniator" and an Gin
famous scoundrel." On the day following,
Mr.. Allen sought Mr., Miliken, whom he
found in his seat before the Assembly
had convened, when offensive words were re-
peated on both sides, ending in personal as
sault on the part of Mr. Allen. He was of
course arraigned before the bar of the House,
and required to answer to the charge of call
ing a member to account 'for words spoken in
debate" The trial ELECTED prolonged and
somewhat heated discussion. Mr.. Allen, in
making his statement, said that as far as Mr..
Milliken was concerned, he felt justified
in the assault; but so far as it was viola
ton of the privileges of the House, he ex-
pressed his deep regret at the occurrence.
The difficult and delicate question of punish
ment then came up, and was the topic of
much warm debate. On one hand it was
urged as essential to the dignity of the Assem-
bly, that he should be publicly reprimanded and
excluded from the Assembly chamber for the
remainder of the session. Others regarded the
apology as sufficient atonement, and advocat-
ed his immediate discharge. The latter
course, which received the magnanimous sup
port of Mr.. Milliken, finally prevailed by tri-
fling majority, and the offender was according
ly discharged.
These outbreaks, the periodical occurrence Of
which disturbs the usual and regular flow Of
legislation, need more severe corrective
than they generally receive. They are not SC
censurable, regarded as violations of tradi
tional privilege, and an established order o.

The man who suffers himself to be betrayed
unless clearly in self defence, into the use ofthe
weapons of the bully, ought to be disqualified
by that act from every civil distinction what
ever.

A few years ago, when Cassius M. Clay,
spent some time in Massachusetts,, it was said
by our oracular literary snobs, that his lee

charming" as it should have been. They
all appeared to hold, that in capacity for intel
lectual work, he was much their inferior.

talk in daintier style of the cloves of the

therefore, the poor creatures claimed for them
selves more intellect and better culture. These
people are perpetually falling into such mis-
takes, perpetually fancying themselves en-
dowed with intellectual superiority, because
they are literary" and can write tolerable
verses; perpetually making themselves in
capable of recognizing genuine superiority. 1t
is frequently the case, that to become Glitter

some periodical, is one of the most disastrous

ABUSES AT THE UTICA ASYLUM In the
Assembly on Monday morning, 18th inst, a
paper was presented asking for an examine
ton into alleged abuses charged against the
Utica Asylum for the Insane. 1t is stated
that Morris Tarbell was recently placed in the
institution for treatment. A few days after he
died. SO sudden and unexpected was his de.
cease that his friends called upon the Coroner
to investigate the matter. The inquest led to
the conclusion and corresponding verdict that
Mr.. Tarbel died from injuries received at the
Asylum. Five ribs were broken--two of
them in two places. A special committee was
appointed to examine the charge.

The EXPERIENCE OF WISCONSIN DEMO
Graf AMONG HIS SOUTHERN BRETHREN.-The
memorial of William Blunt to the Wisconsin
| Legislature, asking redress for the wrongs and
| outrages received at the hands of the authorl-
ties of Texas, which created quite a futter on
the democratic side of the Senate, when read
last Tuesday evening, will be found in to-day's
paper.
This William Blunt is well known in Green
| County, in this state where he has lived for
the last twenty four years. During that peri
cd he has boen licensed minister of the Camp
bellite persuasion, and an active and Jealous
Democrat. For some years past, since the
| slavery question became the leading political
issue before the country, he has especially dis
| tinguished himself by the blatant character of
his advocacy of slavery. He was particularly
gifted" in the Biblical argument in favor Of
slavery; and, at Republican meetings, was
wont to confront the speakers with long and
fiatulent speeches based upon Mosaic regua-
TONS For more than thirty years, as he tells
us in his memorial, the truth OF which he at
tests under oath, he has voted the Democratic
ticket.
Last year he went down to Texas in quest
| of health, expecting a cordial welcome and
comfortable stay among the democratic breth-
rem, whose cause he had so faithfully adyo-

ardor of northern Democrats. The Rev. Will
liam Blunt was asked by an old friend and
brother minister to fill some of his appoint
ments and, not knowing that his friend had
been suspected of secretly cherishing abolition
sentiments, he acceded to the request The
result was that he too fell under the suspicion
of being an abolitionist in disguise-he, the ar
dent, incorporating Blunt Democrat of
thirty years standing-and, therefore, as he
relates with due particularly, he was set upon,
arrested, his money taken from him, thrown
into Jail, taken out and treated to eighty lashes,
and, with other indignities and "spurnings a
posteriori not be named" told to leave that por-
ton of this free and gel-orious republic forth
with without delay, which suggestion he pro-
ceeded to act upon with alacrity.
