We learn that Col. John 8. Mosby was ar.
rested, at his home in Fauquier, few days
since, by military authority, and taken to
Washington and Imprisoned. Ho Ia charged,
We understand, with having hanged two Fed,
eral soldiers In the Valley, during tho war.
In retaliation for the murder Of some Of his
mon.
When We remember that Colonel Mosby,
though Of that class known as partizan ran
gers, was a regularly commissioned officer in
the service Of the Confederate States, and,
as such, received tho parole awarded the
other officers Of General Lees army, his ar.
rest seems most extraordinary, and fatty In
violation Of the terms Of parole.
For some months Colonel Mosby has been
quietly practicing law in Warrsnton, demean
ing himself as good and loyal citizen Of his
section Richmond Examiner.
And whom we remember that whether
" commissioned" or not MosBY was the very
worst Of the gang Of banditti who have desc.
lated Virginia these four years past We ar,
Jastonished that he has been permitted tc
practice law otherwise than as his own coun.
sell, and we are rejoioed 10 learn-and every
loyal citizen will bo rejoioed to learn-thai
at last there is prospect Of his being whip
ped of justiceS and the blows we trust will
be well laid on-that he may get q punish
ment something like tho measure Of hi
deserts.

DAVIS AND THE DIsTRIoT.

Senator GARRETT DAVIS, Of Kentucky,
(sometimes called GARRuLous DAvIs,) made
a speech on the question of negro suffrage In
the District of Columbia In tho Senate to-
day. OF course he opposed the bill, and Of
course he took the ground that II would be a
violation Of the rights Of the citizens Of the
District. Mr.. DAVIS belongs to that class Of
politicians who swear by the traditions Of the
past, and whose memory has dropped nearly
all traditions Of our country except those re.
lating to slavery. He will not allow that the
District of Columbia Is under the jurisdict tion
Of Congress, except with such limitations as
would be desired by the old slaveholding
community who oeded the territory to the
United States, II they could be resuscita.
ted and stand around Mr.. Senator DAVIS
And instead Of looking at things as they
are, and tossing away the fossil rubbish
which -obstructs the progress of reform, he
consults the spirit Of old errors for his pres
ent guidance. But he and men Of his clan
will hnd themselves unable to assault any
party with effect while they cling for support
to the dead wood which once formed the
abattis around the fortihoations Of slavery,
and which, rotten and crumbling, will only
fll their hands with punk"

THESE remarks apply to the larger plant
ers, but III We turn our attention to the small
growers, men who have hitherto produced
from i've to hfteen bales annually, the ques'
tion presents quite different aspect. These
men, Of whom the number is large, were kept
back by the slave system. They had neither
the capital nor the financial resources pos
sessed by the large planters, and 10 add the
labor of one hand TO their farm the entire
proceeds Of two or three crops had to be
saved and risked, not only upon the life Of
the man Of whom they became the owner
but also upon his not running away. Amo.
ments reflection will make 1t apparent how
impossible II was, under these conditions, for
the cultivation Of the land by small farmers
to be extended, and what an incubus is re-
moved from them by the abolition Of slavery.

labor on fair terms, when they need Il, aud
will, therefore, In the natural order Of things,

INSURANCE COMPANIES.

In the House Of Representatives yester.
day, Mr.. ALLEY, Of Massachusetts,, offered
the following resolution:
On motion Of Mr. ALLEY, II was resolved
that the Committee Of Ways and Means be
instructed to inquire into the expediency Of
requiring all the fire marine insurance com.
panies to invest In Government securities,
and deposit q certain per cent. Of their cap
ital and receipts in the Treasury Of the Uni
ted States, for tho better security Of the in
sured, and that they be allowed to insure In
any part Of the United States, under such
rules and regulations as Congress shall pre-
scribe.
Now, will that distinguished statesman,
who doubtless has made the Constitution Of
the United States his study, inform the world
in what part Of that instrument ho nnds any
powers given TO Congress to regulate insur.
ance, or insurance companies Such com.
panies derive their powers from State Gov.
ernmonts, and State laws regulate their in,
vestments as we'll as their powers and liabili'
ties; and until reconstruction takes place,
Congress can hardly interfere to alter or i'm
pair them. QUERE.

Tho immediate future of tho cotton grow
ing interest Is a subject which deservedly at
tracts much attention. 1t is pretty general.
ly agreed now that prices must advance, and
very materially, between this time and the
gathering of the crop of 1865. The old stock
Of cotton is well nigh exhausted. and that
which remains to be brought in is, for the
most part, Of inferior grades. The crop Of
1885 was very small-the war closed too late
in the season for the planters to change their
plan Of operations and by the first of May
It seems probable that the entire stock of de-.
sirable cotton will have found its way to
market. Such is the competition caused by
the foreign demand, that the higher classi6.
cations are not now to be bought, save by
those who are sharp, enterprising, and well
acquainted with the market.
The shrewdest dealers in the feecy sta.
pie are now acting upon the belief that II
will 90 to one dollar per pound between this
time and the first Of August next. Another
year and we may hope that producers will
be better able to comprehend the situation,
and to adapt themselves to it, and be better
p supplied with the means of applying the in.
dustrial resources of the South. Messrs.
NEILL. Bros. 4 Co.'s New orleans) circular,
while showing the present state of affairs,
finds much encouragement for the future.
They say:
But, in our further observation, many
facts Of an encouraging nature have been
developed. Extensive districts have been
found where the torch Of oontending armies
has never been lighted, whore the planters
dwelling houses, gin houses, and negro quar-.
ters stand as Of old, greatly out of repair, but
still fit enough for absolute wants where
plantations are still fenced In and a consd-
cradle portion of the necessary farming stock
yet exists. In this category we may refer to
Southwestern Georgia, extensive districts in
Southern, Central, and Western Alabama,
Eastern and sections of Central Mississippi,
some counties in Louisiana, particularly in
the upper Red River districts, and the whole
of Texas.
1T is true that the labor difficulty exists
there as elsewhere; that no satisfactory ar.
rangementS have yet, as a general rule, been
made between the planters and their former
slaves that many Of the planters have not
the means to pay wages and all outgoings for
year before next seasons crop can be
gathered In, from the absence Of all the
credit and facilities which used to exist; and
still more, that they have not the education.
character or disposition which would enable
them to manage successfully the labor Of
freemen.
But despite all these difficulties the high
prices Of cotton will certainly lead to the
planting Of an extensive area in all this class
