Our American cousins again claim
all al the credit for successfully laying
the Atlantic cable. They claimed ali
the credit in 1858, when it was
thought the attempt of that year had
been crowned with success; but the
moment it was ascertained that the
active current had ceased to flow
through the submerged cable, they
turned upon John Bull, and laid the
failure to his charge, MS they have
very rygenerously laid all failures. They
have patiently waited for ultimate
success, and now that it has come.
they lay greedy hands upon it. Well.
we can have no objection whatever to
allow their claim, provided they
grant that the Great Eastern is Eng
lish bnilt, English owned, and Eng
lish manned; that the cable is Eng
lish owned, and English made, and
English laid. If they will only admit
SO mnch, we shall freely allow them
the pleasure Of growing over their
success. s.-Onama (Camaao) Citizen.

AWAITING A DaLuaE.-Supersti-
tion, says a paper Of Preston, Eng
land, is not eradicated in Accrington
and Church. A report that some old
woman at Blackburn had prophesied
theworld would be destroyed by a
} .food of waters" on Monday last,
obtained wide circulation. The know
ing ones laughed at the idea, but
there were hundreds of women, old
and young, who spent an anxious
Sunday. and were very devout, pre-
pairing for the ''last great day." At
church, an old woman who keeps a
small shop, was SO impressed with
the truthfulness of the prophecy, that
she actually removed her furniture
and shop goods to the highest hill
near church, and remained there till
Monday morning, when she came
back, looking somewhat disappoint-
ed that the flood had not drowned all
her neighbors

OFF WITH THEIR HEADs.-The
President yesterday appointed Calvin
%. Pratt, of Brooklyn, collector of
internal revenue for the third district
OF New York, in place of Mr.. Bowen,
publisher of the New York Ldepen-
dent, one Of the most intolerant and
bigoted Of the radical sheets. Mr..
Bowen and his friends in vain urged
that the proprietor of the paper
should not be held responsible for
the sentiments of the editor. This
little bit of sophistical refinement of
argument was fully appreciated by
the President, who, by way of show
ing his estimate of it, straightway
appointed MIR. Pratt. Henry NJ.
Johnson has been appointed as col
lector OF the eighteenth district of
Ohlo-the Cleveland district-in
place of Parsons, one of the most un
scrnpulous villifiers of the President
in the State of Ohio.

A copper queen is better than NJ

A copper queen is better than no
queen; and if the collapse of the
watering-place season without SEN
sation left Jenkins" almost in IL
mood for suicide, the arrival of the
Queen Dowager Of the Sandwich Is
lands in New York has given him new
life and spirits. 1t is true that she
is "colored," but then the Caucasian
type and color are passing out of
fashion, and this excellent woman
comes just in time for the ovations of
the opponents of the white man S
convention, which is soon to be held
in Philadelphia. 1t is true that the
Polynesians are not negroes nut they
have the look Of the genuin~ article,
and Emily, Queen of the Sandwich
Islands, will do well enough until
the King Of Dahomey comes over to
reign over his loyal subjects.

REFORM ON BOTH SIDES OF TIE
WATER 1t is an old and true saving.
that extremes meet" and the force
OF this adagc is strikingly illustrated
at the present time alike in Great
Britain and in the United States. In
the former country there exists an
arlstocracy, the most wealthy and in
fauenti.l in Europe, which strives to
control the people irrespective of anv
popular interests, needless Of any
arguments save those which affect
It's own prosperity or existence. But
the people have at last grown weary
OF this state of things, and the great
question of reform, which for MANY
years has been the political shuttle
cock with which public men have
amused themselves, has now become
the test issue Of the day, the Issue on
which Governments will stand or fall,
the measure on which the people are
determined.
In our country, also, VIC have in
this year of our Lord, 1866, an aris-
tocracy, not of birth, like that of
England, not of talent and worth,
rs should be the case in republic,
but of mere political chance. This
aristocracy is nominally the enemy
of oppression and the friend of the
people; but it is in reality despotism
ltself-and, what renders it all the
more dangerous-dcspotism in dis
guise; and its pride is that most per
nlclous to mankind and revolving to
Heaven, ''the pride which apes hu-
mility."
The only difference between the
old aristocracy of England and the
new regime Of America, is that the
formeris feudal, and the latter radi-
cal-one dates from William the
Conquerer and the other from John
Brown-but however unlike i'm name
or date, they assimilate closely in their
nature. Both desire power at all
hazards, and neither cares rush
light for the people.

COTTON. an elaborate estimate
IN the New York Times, tho yield is
put down at nearly one-half of that
OF 1850, except i'll Tennessee and
Florida, the last being 100, 600 bales,
against 65,O0O in 1860, and in the
former l25, 900 bales, against 9o6. .4O4
IN 1850. BY this calculation, the cs-
innate makes out yield Of ., GAO. 900,
against 5, lS5, ,925 bales in 1860. All
accounts that reach us from all quar-
ters accord in the fact that the land
planted will fall considerably short of
Il full yield, while all know that the
extent of ground planted is not one
half Of that titled in 1850.
