Speculation Concerning the Cotton Crop.
III Tho Louisville Journal in an article upon
This subject makes some speculatiOns and
gives some data that are very interesting
ave give some extracts from the article:
There are many considerations which go
to prove for example, OF what absorbing III
terest to the entire taN-payIng citizens OF
the land, to the revival OF commerce., and
the early return 10 specie payment, is the
next cotton crop
In the first place. it is certain that the last
Wears crop in foreign countries was only
about one-half what II was in the previous
ycar.
The Calcutta correspondent of the LOdon
BTimes writes that the crop in the North
Ewesten Provinces of India will be only
about siNty-siX million pounds, against Il
i hundred and thirty-thTee millions OF the
year before Only oue-half the area was
2planted, and of that half the crop WAS light.
g The close Of orr war caused the price to fall
and the natives in consequence became dis
couraged and refused To plant more than
enough for thcir own wants.
From Egypt come similar reports. The
Alexandria circulars say that only a half
n crop was made, oI two hundred thousand
4 bales less than was expected. So also in
Brazil \ circular from Pernambuco de-
II clareS that the long continued, heavy rains
had damaged the crop to the extent as
some alleged, of half There will be
none OF very little either from China or Ja-
pan, ana none worthy of notice from any
other part of the world. The sudden stop
page of the supply from this country upon
the breaking ont of the war stimulated to
an extraordinary extent the cultivation of
the staple wherever it could be grown. but
! the sudden close of the war has removed
the stimulus, and England, as we'll as the
other manufacturing countries of Europe,
will again depend upon the United States
for cotton. The crop in foreign countries
the present year will 40 doubt be even less
than it was last, because foreign cultivators
believe our peace to Ice permanent and that
we shall raise an immense crop, while they
know thar, with an equal chance, they can
not compete with lis. We may lay ii down
as settled fact, therefore, that we shall
have very little competition in the Euro.
pean market the present year. This will
tend to keep up prices, and some confidently
express the opinion that cotton will be high
er year from this time than it is now.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is.
The galleries Of the House were densely
crowded during the session to. day, and owing
to the pressure many we're unable to gain ad-
mittance. The colored population we're pres
ent in large numbers. Every one both white
and black, taking great interest in the subjec,
discussed, viz: The extension OF the elective
fanchise in the District of Columbia. The
vote on the passage Of the bill was much lar
ger even than its most sanguine friends antic-
ipated, and when the result was annouced the
applause on the floor and in the galleries was
almost deafening. The bill which passed the
House has yet to be acted on in the Senate.
1t confers suffrage without other qualifications
than has heretofore been applied TO whites.
The Senate confirmed the following nomi-
nations:
Robert B. Van Valken5urg of New York,
to be Minister resident of the United States
to Japan, rice Chauncy NJ. Depew resigned:
Earl Bill to United States Marshal for the
Northern district Of Idaho, Martin T. RYDER
to United States Marshal for Washington
Territory; James II. Alvord, OF Idaho Terri
tory, to be United States Marshal for the dis.
trict of Idaho.
Mr.. Bordwell introduced bill granting
lands to aid in the construction of a nnlroad
and telegraph line from the Central Pacific
railroad in California to Portland, Oregon,
and which will probably soon be favorably
reported in the Select Committee on the Pa
cifc raiaoad. The bill also authorizes the
Puget Sound aod Colaubia. river railroad
company to construct Q road to unite with
others on the Pacific coast.
