Watohman what Of ths Nirbt9

The main Eastern Argus constitutes a
calm and able review Of the causes that led
to the result of the election in that State in
the following words
" If the spirit watch now dominates in
Main is 20 control the North and direct the
ahairs Of the Nation, we have seen the end
of the American Union. Where It now
sound and whole it could scarcely withstand
the strain which this spirit would put it to;
but with tie Union broken-with ten spokes
Of the thirty-six out of the wheeI-it must
go down with crash when the pressure
comes, as It viii in the next Presidential
election if not before, and upset every thing.
And there are worse elements Of commOtion
ia the country now than ever before. Let
anarchy once begin, and they will assuredly
dash the Ship Of State upon the breakers
and destroy it The terrible scenes Of the
French revolution would be repeated. The
elements arc ripe for it, and the demagogues
who have been tanning these passions for
their own base purposes, could no more
control them than they could the surging of
the sea. Let cur brethren in other States
be warned Let them keep these revolu-
tiOnary elements in subsection, if possible.
The danger to our country is imminent,
never more so than at this hour. The North
showed itself able to conquer the South,
but if it shall prove to be unequal to achieve
the still higher victory over itself of forgiving
the South, the conquest will have been in
vain, and our Institutions will as assuredly
fail as if they had been surrendered to the
assaults Of rebels. Hatred and revenge are
elements of discord, not of peace and unity,
and these now lie directly in our pathway
to restoration, National unity and peace.
Can they be overcome That is the ques-
ton. And upon its right answer depends
the salvation Of the Republic"
The Catholic World says that within the
last fifty years no Church has been so pros
porous in the United States:
About two thousand churches and
chappels have been built; an increase of
one thousand eight hundred clergymen-
mostly from abroad one hundred and sixty
! schools established for the Catholic training
Of ten thousand boys and thirty three thou
sand girls. Moreover there existed in 1857
sixty-six asylums.. with four thousand nine
hundred and sixty-three orphans of both
sexes; twenty-six hospitals, with three thou.
sand beds; four insane asylums, besides
many other charitable institutions, all estab-
lished and supported by the private charity
of Catholics"

We notiee in the New Orleans Times of
Wednesday last, the following statement
The Rothchilds recently wrote to this
country for as correct a statement a. could
possibly be procured of the probable Weld
of cotton in the Southern States during the
year 1866, and received In reply, from a
distinguished planter, that It would not
exceed, "under the most favorable eircum-
stances, over 100000 bales" The gentle
man who wrote this has since, in view of the
depredatiOns of the worms. havoc
from rust, and scarcity of labor to pick out
the staple, reduced his estimate to 1000 600
bales, of which amount he does not believe
there will be 100000 bales available for
export
The paper mentioned observes that the
views generally, or rather estimates, from
parties who have travelled over a part Of the
cotton growing section seem to be settling
down on / 100000 bales as the extent Of
this seasons yield while there are Others
who place the highest at 100000 bales,
with several at less than 100000 These
estimates made to the Rothchilds, or some.
thing else, have influenced the English
market and led to an advance.

4 Decision against GreeubccLs as a Il
gal leader case relative to ground rent
lately decided by Judge alexander, of the
Circuit Court of Maryland, the validity Of
the act Of Congress making greenbacks a
legal tender in payment Of debts was In
volved the Judge has fled the opinion that
Congress had EO- power to declare these
notes legal tender. The decisions in a num-
Der Of cases assimilating in principal to the
one before the Court are referred to as sus-
tanning the view presented by him. In those
cases it was conceded that there was no au-
thority vested in Congress for the purpose
above disputed, though it was deemed mat
ter of policy that the enactment should be
sustained. The complainant took an appeal
from the ruling of the Court, and all the
points thus cORtroverted have to be deter
mined by the Court of Appeals of Maryland,
whose decision on them will be looked to
with anxiety. In case the decision is sus-
tanned by the Court of Appeals the ques-
ton will be taken to the United States Su-
preme Court for final arbitrament.
