Of any such thing, no matter what may happen

The SENATORIAL QUESTION AT ALBANY.-The
politicians at Albany are In . terrible stew
again. The city IL full d them and of can-
didates for tbs New York vacancy to be filed
in the United States Senate. Greeley, Ray
mond, Dudley Field, Curtis Noyes and Henry
Ward Besehsr are anoag the wireworkers and
candidates Of the republican radicals, while
Governor Morgan and Thurlow Weed are In
good standing among the conservatives Of all
parties Fernando Wood has been charged
with moving Heaven and earth to get himself
Into the Senatorial vacancy; but Fernando
Wood II not the man to waste his ammunition
upon objects beyond the range Of his guns. Al

could hardly do better than to join The rspub-
lican conservatives In behalf Of Governor Nor

bly, 10 Ill the place Of Preston King st this sri-

Our PROGRESS TOWARDS DEsPoTIsM-MORE
Political ARREsTs.-There are now two State
Legislatures and two or more grand juries in
vestigating into the arrests Of citizens by the
federal government, which, for months past,
have created so much excitement throughout
the Union The determination evinced to call
to account and punish the agents in these pro-
ceedings consequent upon the democratic vic
tories at the last elections had caused their dis
continuance for while. We see that In Penn
sylvania they are again being resumed, and that
the proprietor Of . Philadelphia Journal has
been seized and incarcerated in Fort McIiensy,
and the publication Of his paper forcibly ssas-
pended. What the nature Of his offence II, or
what the authority under which he has been de-
privsd Of his liberty remains yet TO be aseer-
tanned II 10 evident from this and other iadi-
cations, that the radicals are bent on procssd-
ing 70 violent sxtrcmities, and defying the
reaction In public sentiment 20 unmistakably
manifested ut the last elections II we are en-
tering on srcign Of terror, the people ought 70
| be made aware Of t. We zee that Greeley, In

The GREAT ADVANCE IN CorroS.-This article
has reached price in the New York market
which it never bore before since 1t has been
known ~ u staple. Day before yesterday it
suddenly jumped to eighty-nine cents in tho
forenoon, aud in the afternoon sales were TO
ported at the extraordinary price OF ninety-six
cents per pound A party who purchased in
the forenoon resold in the afternoon at profit
of $40 per bale. At ninety-six cents per pound
bale Of cotton is worth 1882. Before the war
it sold at tea to twelve cents per pound, or at
s45 to $54 per bale. From present appearances
It is possible that 1t may touch 81 per pound,
or $3.50 per bale. The present price Is higher
than it WAS before the invention Of the cotton
gin, and when the negroes ct the South picked
it with their fingers. Bryant Edwards, In hin
history Of the West Indies, quoted cotton grown
in the Bahamas and other West India Islands u
1854 at two shillings and six pence sssrling Per
ponnd-say about sxty-two and half cents

A LurIx MIsrAKE.-In reciting his credo in
the Tribune yesterday, poor Greeley says Of
the rcbels:--"I believe that If our armies do not
whip theirs, theirs will whip ours" This sen
tence strikes the reader as both inelegant and
sophistical. Are there no drawn battles9 Are
there not battles where both sides claim the
victory This is little mistake for poor Gree
ley TO make; but II shows how impossible it is
Tor him to be correct about anything

The NraoER IN. THE MEDnyIoN SCunK-
The foot Of the inevitable negro sticks out o.,
Greeley's mediation scheme. Greeley wants
the war to 80 on until May, and then, IL we are
not successful, he insists that we must accept
1.-THE best attainable peace" Now, that peace
would be dictated by the European Powers, and
would consist in the recognition Of the confeds-
racy, provided the gradual emancipation Of
slavery was promised by the South. If the
rebels refused to accept this proviso, then Sha.
mediators would force the South back into the
Union, and the emancipation proclamation
would do its work. Thus, either by union or
disunisn, Greeley thinks that the abolition Of
slavery is certain. The idea is not original with
Greeley, but belongs to Wendell Phillips We
have an idea worth two Of that, however, which
We shall vsntilate at the proper time.

nal, and his aim is,now apparent. Mr.. Weed is q
very peaceable man, and when he is elected to
the Senate we shall not be at all surprised II
he join the mediation firm and renew his old
partnership with Greeley. This would make the
world unanimous. Napoleon representa- Europe;
Greeley represents the republicans; vallandig-
ham represents the peace democrats; Jewett

Weed would represent the conservatives. Our

better to live in Prussia, in Poland or in

prudent for the Government to do before
