The cotton question involves the financial ques-
ton. Few inanciors in the country believe that
the national debt can be paid, or the national
credit maintained, unless the cotton fields of the
Southern States are revoked for supply of the
staple which has BEEN and may now be again,
our chief medium of exchange with foreign ma
tons. Ithas been suggested, indeed, and perhaps
by some sanguine and credul0us persons believed,
that our gold and silver mines are to totally super
sede cotton in DIR foreign exchange. 1t is vain
expectation Our cotton fields are our richest
mines. Cotton is specie, and that chiefly is to
enable us to resume specie payments
r Some persons again have cherished the belief
that our granaries were to feed large portion of
the inhabitants Of commercial and manufacturing
Europe. That we have occasionally exported
large quantities of breadstufs and provisions has
been owing to exceptional circumstances, not like
ly to occur soon or often. The export of bread.
stufls has now nearly ceased, partly by reason of
the high prices of grain consequent upon our in
fated currency. Large crops of cotton must be
produced before our cereals can find profitable
market abroad. The cotton export will restore
the specie standard and then wheat and corn and
provisions can be produced at a less cost, and
offered in foreign markets at prices which will
secure steady demand while at the same time it
will increase the amount of foreign consumption,
especially in the manufacturing districts.
We are now on the eve of the greatest cotton
famine that has ever occurred. There are not
more than seven or eight hundred thousand bales
of cotton in this country including the crop of the
present year and the remains of former crops
The time is at hand for making arrangements for
the next years crop. We have favorable inteli-
gence as to these preparations in some quarters.
We also have information that political uncertain
ties discourage planting enterprise in the South.
Capital and enterprise hesitate to undertake plant
:. ing on large scale while the relations Of the
planting States to the Union remain unsettled, and
also while the condition Of the Southern laboring
class remain subject Of political agitation.
4 Large amounts of capital have, however, been
sent to the South, either for the purchase of cotton
e or its production, by commercial men of the
Northern cities But more circulation is needed
in order to provide for the production and the
movement of large crop foF the next year Ma
tional banks are called for ill the South, but they
cannot be authorized to the extent required IN
less Congress provides, in accordance with the
recommendation of the Comptroller of the Cur
rency, Mr.. Freeman Clark, for an increase of the
limit of the national currency to four hundred mil.

\ LADIES PROHIBITED FROM HOLDING A FAIR
Hhe ladies of the First Methodist Episcopal Church
lSouthl of Lexington, says the Observer, having
determined to hold a fair for the benefit of their
church, applied for and obtained from the owners
the use of the building on the corner of Short and
Market streets, formerly occupied by the govern
nSnt for military purposes. For two or three days
they occupied the second story in making prepar-
atoms for their fair, when guard of negto sol
diers was placed over the premises, and they
were no longer permitted to enter there. No ex-
PLANTATION of the proceeding has been vouchsafed
to them, and we are left to conjecture its cause.
Inc one generally assigned is the removal by the
congregation, few days since, of certain radical
officials OF the church. However this may be, we
nave seldom heard of pettier or more contempt
Bile use to which the United States army could be
put than this indirect prohibition of the holding of
2 ladies' fair for the benefit of o church.

ILLINOIS ON THE RIoT.-Judgins from

to Senator Trumbull at Chicago last week,
that city is mot disposed to sympathize with
the President or party which encouraged
and now sustains the suppression of free
speech in New Orleans. There is one para.
graph in Mr. Trumbulls speech which those
claiming that Mr., johnson has been strictly
consistent, would do well to treasure up. 1t
will be remembered that he desired both the
Civil Rights and Ere edmen's Bureau bills,
which were vetoed. Abiding to them in
the course of his address, he said--
Both these bills, as you are aware, were
met by an Execu veto. Bills drawn up
