Government Cotton SpeCuIa-
tiOnS,

The government is in fair way to become
rich 3y its extensive speculations in cotton;
having this advantage over common opera
tions-not being obliged to buy what it
sells, and being able to hold on for better
prices, and thus control the market. 1t is
stated that the sums obtained for the Sa-
vannah and Sea Island Cotton, sold on the
18th in New York, by Mr.. Draper, cotton
agent, was more than 100000 in gold.
The whole amount realized during the past
year on account Of sales, is between six and
seven millions of dollars. Nearly six mil
lions Of the sum were the proceeds Of the
cotton captured in Savannah and Charles.
ton, i2, 800 bales of which came from Sa-
vannah. The Secretary of the Treasury
postpones the sales that were to have been
made in August to September, and after
wards to October, and the result shows a
gain of from II to 90 cents a pound. The
whole Of the Savannah, Charleston and
Mobile cotton taken by the government has
been disposed Of. This advance of from
fifteen to twenty cents per pound may bC
exceedingly eonvouiont for the government
but not so agreeable to those whose shirt
are about worn out.

EXPORTS of SDcCie,

The EAnJwgh and Persia sailed from
New York last week The former took out
fify-fve thousand dollars in specie, and the
latter one hundred and thirty thousand.
The constant drain Of the precious metals
which is going on serves to bring to the com
prehension of men of ordinary powers OF
discernment, the pernicious workings of the
financial system inauguratcd by Mr. CHASE,
and reluctantly adhered by his successor.
While prices are greatly enhanced by a fc-
titious standard values, and extravagances
are INDUCED in as natural consequence oI
the comparative worthlessness of an ire
decmable currency, gold and silver will con
tinue to be sent abroad and shin plasteri
will occupy the place of money.

sustaining the President.

Because Democrats sustain the action OF
President JOHNSON in reference to the re-
organization Of the Southern States, it does
not follow that they approve of his military
commissions, and other unlawful and bar
barous relicts of LINCoI.N's s administration.
Democrats will heartily endorse all lawful
and constitutional efforts Of the President
10 restore the country to order and pros
perity, but they will be excused from sus-
tanning any of the despotic usurpations
which have heretofore been so common, and
which are yet indulged in to some extent.
If Mr.. JOHNSON wants the friends of the
country to be his friends, he must be gov
ened, and govern Others, by the Constitu-
ton and laws, and do away with shoulder
strap courts, military prisons and all the
paraphernalia of one-horsc despotism
The Abolitionists will support him if hi
goes negro suffrage and negro equality.

Holmes and Monroe,

For some years past there has been con
rivalry between Holmes and Mon
roe counties, as to which could give the
largest Democratic majority This year
Monroe beats Holmes, the former given
l,G5O, the latter, ,Gl3 majority for Morgan,
Last year the rivalry between the counties
was high, aud at Millersburg, on the night
Of the election, as one of the riders dashed
into town with the returns from his town
ship, he was asked, Whats the majority
for Mcclellan" The reply was, 1.-Two
hundred-a gain of eighty; id if we don
beat Monroe this timc.-Piain Deaier.
The difference between Monroe and
Holmes is that, while the majority in Mon
roe has been gradually growing less that OF
Holmes has been increasing from year to
year In 1886 the majority in Holmes was
825, and in Monroe l,7jO. This year Mon.
roe gives l,Gj0, and Holmes l,Gl3. In no
year has Holmes given as large majority
as Monroe. About next year we will be at
the passing point.

New Governor of Mississippi.

Gen. Humphreys, of SunAower County,
the Goveruor-elect of Mississippi, was orig
inally Union Wing, and opposed secession,
but after Mississippi had taken the step and
the war begun, he stood by his people and
his state, and distinguished himself as a Co
lionel (2lst Reg. Miss. Inf J, and afterwards
as Brigadier- General in the Confederate
service. At the time of the surrender o
General Lee, he was at home suffering from
severe wound received in fight in tn,
Valley of Virginia. General HUMPHREYS

ty in the State Legislature with distinction
He is now an earnest supporter of Presi

A piece Of Advice.

Perbars the better way for politicians
who are careful about their record, and
want to preserve clean bill of health for
future purposes, is to never commit them
selves on paper; but certainly if they will
write, it is essential above all things that
they should send their episties to the pro-
per place and person. Senator Sherman
having, during the summer of 1868, and be-
fore the Baltimore Convention, addressed a
letter intended for Andrew johnson, of
Nashville, Tennessee, to Nashville, "Ohio, y
the same fell into the hands of an ancient
copperhead of the latterlocality, of the same
name, who alarmed at its contents, called
in his neighbors for consultation, thereby
ventilating the epistle and bringing Mr..
Sherman to some grief and pcrpcxity--
What the letter contained is not publicly
known, and this may be the most uncom-
Portable part of the affair. At any rate the
advice given to rising politicians may be
valuable. - Cincinnati Enquirer.
We wish to slightly correct the Enquirer,
statement. The letter was directed to AN
DREW JOHNSON, Nashville, Ohio, which il
in this county. 1t so happened that W,
have an ANDREW JOHNSON in this county
but moi "copperhead, y as the Enquire
suggests. On the contrary, he is loyal
niger worshipper. He got the letter, open
ed it, thought he had a "big thing brough
it to Milersburg and exhibited it to til
leading aboitonists. JOSEPH ANKENY too
a copy of it, and from that made sever;
other copies which he used to curry fave
with LlcoLN, at the expense of Senate
SHERMAN. We did not see a copy of ii
letter, but we were confdcntialy advise
that it was heavy" on LINCOLN. ANKI
NY expected to get an Office through his o
iciousness in parading it and stirring u
a quarrel between LINCOLN and SuERMAl

about it, and threatened to prosecute o,

ccssion of ''loyal'' friends quictel the ma

Putting them Through.

We understand that the Trustees of
Hartford township, Licking county, all OF
whom are abolitionists, were arrested on
Friday last, lodged in the Jail at Newark,
for having refused to receive the votes OF
two Democrats, on the pretense that they
had gone to Canada to escape being draft
ed. There were some ten or fifteen Others
in Hartford township, who were legally en-
titled to vote, but did not offer their ballots,
after they had learned the action of the
Trustees.
Several votes were rejected in Knox
county for like reasons; and We earnestly
hope that the Trustees, in every case, will
be arrested, and dealt with according to
low.-M. Tcrpon Banner.
