COTTON CROP FOR 1867.

The cotton crop of the South for 1866
rescued the North from bankruptcy,
besides paying the Government about
twenty.five millions on account oil the
cotton tax. Now, it occurs to us, and
occurs. no doubt, to Southern men gem
orally, that for all the South has done for
the North, and for the Government, a
very singular return has been made

AS the military bill invests the Brigadier

not, as they will have the power, take
possession of every bale that is made,
and hold it for themselves, or for Con-

A SUGGESTION,

Congress having determined that the
State Governments of ten States oil the
South are illegal, it follows that all their
acts are illegal. They have not, hen'
ratified the Constitutional Amendment
abolishing slavery, nor repudiated The
Confederate debt Their Legislatures
that conferred civil rights on negroes
were illegal bodies, and had no right to
legislate. Nothing that has been done
since secession, was or is legal They
were not States, and had no right to leg
islate. Well, if any Southern LeGiSla'
lures are now in session, they should
lose no time in repeating every act in
reference to Federal policy passed since
the surrender. 1t is certainly not
wrong to repeal that which is null.

PROGRESS OF THE REVOLUTION

WASHINGTON, March 5.-According to
information from Alexandria the Repub
licans held a mass meeting, which was
largely attended by colored men, and
after addresses by Republican candidates
for Mayoralty, Geo. 7. Tucker and
others were instructed to offer their votes
to the Commissioner of election, but if
refused the committee would take them.
This morning this course was pursued
by the colore1 men, and the Commits
sioners ruled they could not receive
their votes
In consequence places were opened
for the reception of their votes
Mayor Latham, with some citizens,
waited on the President of the United
States to inquire as to the right of col
ored men to vote, and was referred to
the Attorney General.
The latter declined to give his opinion
in so short time, but said he was in
clined to the belief that they would not
be thus entitled, until the Government
had formally taken possession of the
State.
Gen. Candy, in response to a request
from Gov Pierpont, has made the neces-
sary arrangements for a sufficient
military fierce on the ground to preserve
order. Two companies Of the 18th in
fantry, under command of Lieut.. Col
Stanhope arrived in the propeller Buck

this morning three companies of the 5tt
cavalry arrived, the whole being under
the command of Gen. Emery, who has
quarters at the Office of the Freedmen

ton passed off without disorder.
Mr.. Latham was reelected Mayor BY

SEVENTEEN STATES DisFRAECH1sED

The new Congress organized with
seventeen States unrepresented. The
S. Louis Republican says that ten OF
the States of the South, which, under
the Constitution, are entitled to repre-
sentation in Congress, are excluded by
a despotic majority. Seven Northern
States. whose times of election were
known to Congress when it determined
by law to meet on the fourth Of
March, are .,unrepresented in the For
tieth Congress. Can a Congress De
constitutionally organized under such
circumstances Can twenty States form
a Congress of thirty-seven States, when
seventeen of them are absent by no fault
of their own. Gentlemen distinguished
for their attainments in the law, and
commanding the confidence of devoted
Union men, have expressed the opinion
that the last Congress was not so consti'
tuted as to avoid a judicial decision
against the legality of its acts, where the
record did not show that the President
had approved and signed its bills
And when, in addition to the fact of {
criminal exclusion Of ten States, Con
