Cotton In New Jersey.

but stili to raise cotton. At the coO-
znepeemens Of the Revolution, all that re

ware and Maryland did the same. No
one thep considered it al ahsurdity,
though few will now consider 1t other
wise. We revive the curious fact that all

own wants. So far ahead of Georgia

made in February last to force renewal

or to lug it through, most probably the

cut short the time for hearing evidence
against the application, in way SO un-
justifably arbitrary as to excite strong
.u>picion that somebody had been bribed.
The case was SO glariDg that Congress in
terposed, and compelled bin to extend
the time to June 20. That day having
lust passed, and new Com missioner be

a decision on this important case.
