We learn that the Post Pfice Department has
put into operation one hundred and forty seven
Of the most important routes in the southern
States that in every case the requirements Of
the Department have been promptly complied
with, and the service commenced under circum-
stances entirely satisfactory.
Extensive preparations are now being made
for the great southern lettings, which will take
place on the LIST day OF November next.
Proposals are invited for SIS routes In Virginia,
so in West Virginia, 2j2 in North Carolina, lbs
In South Carolina, and in Florida 50-making a
total of S5s routes. These bids can be deposited
at the Contract Office, Post ofice Department,
until p. IN. on the last day Of this month, and
the decisions will bo declared on tho 10Th No.
vember.
The other States are arranged for letting In a
few weeks thereafter.
We presume that the number Of post Offices
which have been reopened will reach some
thousands. As many more Offices would day
have been in operation II postmasters could have
been obtained for them. The Department is
ready and willing to revive all the former mail
accommodations, but in numerous instances the
men who reside at the points have been engaged
In the rebel service and cannot take the oath OF
allegiance.
Let the inhabitants Of every neighborhood,
then, unite In an effort to select suitable loyal
person-man or wOman--who can assume the
obligations and attend to the duties, and there
may be post office In every village in month

The Next CoTToS CROP.-The Louisville
Journal, urging the Importance Of produc-
ing large cotton crop next season, advises
that the negroes should be made to work,
if they will not work voluntarily, or, as q last
resort, white labor should be obtained on the
best terms possible. The Journal says:
The present crop in the South will amount
to little, but next year great effort ought
to be made to raise a large crop. Prices for
year or two to come, at least, are likely to
rule high, probably not much less than forty
cents. Now, il four million bales could be
raised during 1866 it would amount, at that
price, to the enormous sum Of $640, 900, 900,
or about one-fourth of our national debt
This simple statement is sufficient to show
of what Importance a great crop of cotton
next year will be both to the individual
wealth Of the country and to the Government
in the payment Of the national debt. Such
crop would send new life and activity
through every channel Of business from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean.
The revenues of the Government would be
of course oorrespondingly increased and the
burdens lifted from the shoulders Of the peo-
pie. Every manufacturing village in the ex-
treme North is interested in the cotton crop
of next year as well as every farm in the
Northwest.

The World quotes from President John.
sons speeches in 1850 to show-what was
obvious to every candid observer-that then
he was only anxious to act with those who
were for preserving the Union, and that he
now acts with those who are for restoring the
Union.
Its views were different last year. On the
10th of October It asserted that Mr.. johnson
"abetted disunion at the start, " and on the
7th of November quoted from the records to
prove it.
The World tries to steal the merit of seek
ing the restoration Of the Union for its own
party. who have, strenuously resisted all
measures for preserving it, and, Sby juggle
peculiar to itself, to make President johnson
one of them. He is with them now as much
as he was in 1860, when ho was fighting for
the Union and they against it. To say that
the Democracy seek restoration Of the
Union now is as true, and no more so, than
was the assertion that Mr.. johnson
"abetted disunion at the start"
\ The Democracy attempted to dissolve the
Union in order to keep themselves in power.
Bafled in this, they are trying to get their
Southern allies back without conditions, in
order that they may regain the power which
they have lost.-Brooklym Union.

Attempt to Shoot an Omcer at the
President's.

This afternoon a man went to the President s
house and demanded Of on8cer Crook admission
to the Presidents Office. Mr.. Crook told him he
could not see the President. The man became
very disorderly, and the officer put him out Of the
Mansion. As Mr.. Crook was returning, and In
the act OF closing the door, the man drew re-
volver and was In the act Of firing upon the Off =
Ger when one Of the guards on duty at the Pres
ident's rushed at him with his bayonet, and thus
prevented him from diseharging the weapon.
By this time ofncer SMITH came out, when the
man was secured and taken to the Fourth ward
station house, where he gave his name as ROB =
BINS SUMNER, a brother Of Gen. SUMNER, and said
he was employed in Alexandria as a Waterman.
The officer made charge against him Of assault
and battery with intent to kill but Justice WAL
TER decided there was no assault aud battery,
and he could not hold him for that He was fined
s2j for carrying concealed weapons, and his pis-
tol taken from him. Having no money to pay
his hne, he was locked up at the station.

Mr.. SUMNER has written letter to the
New York Post, on the constitutional aboli.
tion amendment, oontending that it has been
ratified by three-fourths of the States, and is
virtually q part of the Constitution. He
quotes the constitutional provision requiring
n proposed amendment to be ratified by the
Legislatures Of three-fourths Of the several
States, and holds that only three-fourths of
the States actually participating in the gov
ernment" are requiredi and in support Of this
view quotes Mr.. Bishop, who discusses the
subject in the third volume Of his Commonta-
rios on Criminal Law:
'If the matter were one relating to any
other subject than slavery, no legal person
would ever doubt that, when there are States
with legislature and States without legisla-
ture, and the Constitution submits question
to the determination of the legislature of
three fourths of the several States, the mean
ing is three fourths of the States which have
legislatures. In fact, 1t does not require
either legal wisdom or legal acumen to see
this, provided we look at the point discon-
nected from the peculiar subject Of slavery" "

Sam. Tilden, the orator Of Democracy, has
Just returned from Washington, where he had
an interview with President johnson. A good
story Is told Of Sam. and tho President.
Everybody who knows Sam. Tilden knows
that he is an intolerable bore. President
johnson knew It years ago. He therefore was
disposed to indulge him and let him run loose
Tilden commenced by complimenting the
President upon returning to old Democratic
doctrines in his reconstruction policy, and
bringing back the party to the Jeffersonian
landmarks He branched of, celebrating on
his subject, and illustrating II as only Sam.
Tilden can. He reminded the President that
this was q compensating world, and illus
trated this point by calling his attention TO
the fact that while tho peacock had mag
nifcent rainbow tail, the bird was good for
nothing to eat-that the elephant was a CO.
lossal animal, but lacked the speed Of the
antelope.
The President, all the time, sat biting his
lip, wondering what the ID Tilden was driy-
ing at. Tilden continued: "There, too, Mr..
President, is the poor, stupid OYSTER what
sweet morsel to roll under your tongue, but
what a repulsive object to look al" The
President here interfered, and taking the
spectacles from his nose, quantity observed:
THAT there was one thing to be said in favor
Of the oyster, and that was IL kneD Uhen to
shut mp"
Tilden looked slightly confused at the
President, left the room, leaving him to
digest the oyster. Tilden has now the same
opinion Of President johnson that the World
had of him last fall-he is 'boorish tailor, /"
who knows more about "a goose" than an
oyster.-AlbdHy Rniek06ocker.

Concerning Bennett.

BENNETT is endoavoring in the New York
Herald to show that the withdrawal of the
theatrical patronage from his paper takes
only some twenty Thousand dollars from his
yearly receipts. The fact is, however, that
II cripples him to the amount Of at least
$l25, 900, and probably $3.50, 900. The Her.
ads theatrical advertisements averaged two
columns day of which at least column and
half were supplied by the associated mana
gers. At forty cents line, this would
amount to some $55, 900 annually. And it
is notorious fact that the printing of post
ers and programmes, which the managers
were compelled to give to the Herald
job Office united to the more recent black
mail exactions of The Play Bill, cost at
least twice as much more. The Herald had
run up the prices of printing and advertising
to an almost fabulous figure, and the fall is
correspondingly disastrous. On this point
the evidence Of the New York managers is
more trustworthy than the assertions of
BENNETT. He mourns in vain for his lost
$3.50, 900 year, and as vainly strives to
conceal the extent of his bereavement.

The market for domestic cottons has been
more active, from the great advance in the
price Of raw cotton, inducing q demand in
apprehension Of an increase in the cost of
production. Prices are very beoyant. The
stocks Of standard sheetings and shirtings arc
very light, the finer and lighter goods espe-
cially, and prices Of both brown and bleached
calicoes tend upward. The drought which
has prevailed throughout New England
has limited the immediate supply. This,
however, is only temporary, and cotton also
is moving hithor in larger quantities, temped
by the high prices; but the export demand
carries of large portion. The last Gu
nard steamer brings advice Of IN advance at
Liverpool in the price of American cotton,
amounting to fcur-and-a-half pence Eng
lish per pound-equal to ten cents.
The production in prints is sadly retarded
by the drought in Rhode Island. Prices are
very firm; but business is hindered by the
non-arrival of goods. As soon as the rains
come, q very active market will be seen, and
at higher prices. Woolens are hardly so ac-
tive. Fancy cassimeres Of desirable styles
are in demand, at full prices. Dark colors
are mostly run on. Plaids and stripes are
wanted. Delaines are active enough to take
of the new receipts from mill, and prices are
steady. Fine coatings are in good demand
The foreign goods market has become rather
less active, but the demand is still good and
sustains prices. Black broadcloths, fine
coatings, cloakings, sealskins, and whitneys
are very active. Black German doeskins are
more abundant, and sell at a decline. The
imports Of dress.goods are large, but not
above the demand. Holders are very firm.
English prints have advanced. Silks are
dull and ribbons also are quiet at present.
Tho offerings are large.-I'idepemaeIa.

ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OF DR. MUpD.-we

ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OF DR. MUDD.-We
have obtained from an officer Of the steamer
Thomas A. Scott, the full particulars of DR..
Mudd's attempted escape, differing in many
accounts from the particulars hitherto pub.
lished. The prisoners at the Tortugas are
allowed the liberty Of the island, except on
the day of a vessels departure At night
they are expected to sleep within the fort
The night previous to the return Of the Thos.
A. Scott, DR.. Mudd slept ouside the fort In
a shed, and the next morning he quietly
walked on board the steamer, disappeared
into the lowest deck, and sent fireman for
Quartermaster Kelly. This was the last that
was seen of him. Soon after he was missed
at the fort, and an officer and squad were sent
down to search the vessel. On the very bot
tom of the vessel lay platform, resting on
two cross beams. The officer thrust his
sword under one side, and the oolored
soldier inserted bayonet under the other.
The roar of pain that Immediately rose,
told that both sword and bayonet had reached
their mark; the platform was raised, and DR.,
Mudd arose and returned to his status of a
captive prisoner. He was Immediately
brought to the fort and the thumb screws
applied to him, and under the pressure of
pain he acknowledged that Kelly with whom
he had formed an acquaintance within few
days had agreed to help him to escape on the
promise of receiving Mudd's gold watch,
Kelly was thereupOn marched TO the fort, n
drum-head oourt-martial held, and he was
sentenced to six years imprisonment and
hard labor in the Tortugas. Tho vessel then
sailed without Mudd or Kelly, and tho papers
were forwarded to Washington for cOliirma,

boast that their houses are fuller than ever
