A SEASON is past, says1be New Orleans
Picayune, and another crop of cotton has
been added to the records, but as far as its
visible effects can be seen on the wealth of
the Southern country, it had as well not
been made. A million bales has been
counted, worth at least hundred millions
of dollars But it has gone-gone glim-
mering 10 help other people, and enrich
other pockets There is nothing left of it.
No more money is in the South than before
it was gathered. Some may ask, where is
it ? We point them to the huge heaps of
freight and produce daily landed at our
wharf, and which, the moment it touches
the shore, is wheeled away to the railroads
and coast steamers to feed the farming
people.
Here is a significant confession of the
truth from an organ of the cotton region
The error on the part of the planters in the
far South has been forgetfulness of one of
the first principles of domestic economy
Perhaps there never was q more favored
quarter Of the globe than Louisiana and
Texas. for example. They want for moth
ing that nature can-suPply. Everything is
given them in the way of soil and climate.
Yet they buy corn from Illinois and pork
from Ohio, and are every year heels over
head in debt. In fact, we are fully per-
sauded that if the entire South could be in
! duced to adopt!a self sustaining policy by
making their own food and raiment, and
| give the balance of their time to the culture
of cotton, no people on earth would be as
rich as we would soon be. But if South
ern planters are determined, as they seem
to be, to follow the old route, there is moth
ing more to hope for than We have already
! got.-BGnner.
AN exchange says: 1t is expected that
Wade, Sherman, Colfax, Logan, Kelly
| Bingham, Wilson, Boutwell,, Fred. Doug
lass, and others will take part in the ap
preaching canvass in Tennessee.

The Credit System.

Mr.. Brown introduced a bin in the Leg
ielature few days ago, which passed first
reading, that will efectually abolish the
last vestige Of the Credit System, should
it become law. Itprovids in substance,
that all laws enacted for the purpose Of aid
ing creditors in collecting their debts shall
stand repealed on the lst day Of January,
1868. That is, no debt Contracted after
that date can be collected by any legal pro-
cess.
We endorse the Shelbyville Union when
it says that this with some modification
will be a good law It does not prevent
the collection Of debts contracted prior TO
January Ist, 1868, but after that time it
sweeps away all the multirudinous props,
braces and harrassing machinery, to aid
creditors and keep up troop Of bailifs,
who feed like cormorants upon the hard
earnings of the hard pressed debtor. 1t
establishes the Cash System at once, and
places it out Of the power of fast young
men-so-called-wh have not attained
their majority, to squander in the stores
the property bequeathed them by parents
In word, it would greatly relieve com
merce of a multitude of complications, ant
avoid the great amount of hard swearing
and general rascality among some men whC
try to avoid the payment of their jus
debts.

BURIAL OF Col. Ed c. CooK.-The citi-
zens of Franklin and vicinity were called
at O'Clock on Tuesday evening, the 9th
inst, by the tolling of the Presbyterian
bell, TO attend upon the re-interment of our
late lamented fellow-citizen, Col. Ed. G..
Cook. After short but able discourse by
Rev.. B. Chapman, formerly chaplain Of
Col. Cooks regiment, the remains were
borne to the grave, attended by very large
concourse of people. AS the remains of
our departed friend we're being consigned
to their last resting place, the utmost Sc
robustness prevailed throughput the assem-
blage. To all who were gathered around
the grave, Col. Cook had been kind and
dear friend.-Reviel0.

Politics in Tannessee

A Washington letter speaking Of politics
in Tennessee, says: From Tennessee we
learn that it has been determined upon to
give the negroes the right of suffrage, and
to call out the loyal militia, white and
black, before the elections are ordered, with
view of preserving the balIot-box from
the inroads Of rebels and disaffected per-
sons. Brownlow will be the Radical can
ddate for Governor, but win not make any
canvass. Nathan Taylor or ex- Governor
Campbell, now members of the.House, or
Mr.. John Williams or Emerson Etheridge,
win be the Conservative candidate but
with the negroes voting, either of them,
though personally strong. would be buried
in an overwhelming majority. The State
is considered safe for the loyal element,
and even Memphis, it is expected, will re-
turn Radical representative to Congress
Tennessee is Radical beyond any possibility
Of recovery.

An act has been passed by the Legisla-
lure of Georgia. and bill is now pending
in the Legislature Of Alabama, to give ag-
rieultural labOrers a lien upon the crops
made by them. The effect will be to Sc
cure to freedmen the wages contracted for.
How many Northern States have given Ia
borers such security as this ? We doubt
very much whether one of them has. This
is an unprompted and voluntary measure
Of justice to the freedmen by Southern
legislators, and shows who are their real,
practical friends.

Rank Of Tennessee MONEY.

Ithss been decided By two of the infe-

Of the Bank of Tennessee. Chose made
prior to May lst, 1861, are receivable for
taxes. Jadge Briss BIS circuit, and
Judge Smith, Of - olnmon Law Court
at Memphis have SO ruled, and sustained
their decisions by able arguments. The
question has been brought. by appeal be-
fore the Supreme Court, now in session,
and final opinion is expected during the
present term.
We learn that the officers of Shelby
county are receiving it for taxes, der
protest, and subject to the expected deci-
sion. There is a deep interest felt in. this
question by many whom tie aeutBreak OF
the war left with this species of currency,
and who, under the charter of the Bank,
and the plighted faith of the State, have
Justly thought it would be eventually re-
deemed. The technicalities. of the law
may disappoint this expectation, but BY
the rules Of justice it is difficult to see
how it can be done. It would wear the ap.
Pearance of Reputation, and on many al
humble and Woodworking note-holdei
would impose considerable loss, if the Law
has become SO confused, that the pledge o
the entire faith and credit of the State, al
ready given in the charter of the Bank o
Tennessee, to receive this money for al
State dues and-taxes is to be rescinded. =
Many of the sOunde5t legal minds in The
State think tbatthe State is bound to max,
good this contract with the note holder

MANY of the buildings in the lower part
of New York that were built for churches
are now used as stables The dray horses
of Mr. A. T. Stewart, the Dry Goods King,
have possession Of the Baptist Church on
Amity street. The stalls are arranged very
much as the pews used to be, and instead
of preacher in the pulpit, there ia a cut

highly appreciated by the present cOngre-

The. rice lands in Carolina are said to
have been almost entirely abandoned by
the negroes. Most of the blacks have en-
igrated to Florida aud the trans Mississip-
pi, and when they discover that those dis
tant lands are not moro flowing with MIX
and honey than the places they have left,
they will be likely to return. It will take
years for the negro to settle down content-
ed with his lot. The Radicals have made
him nomad, and he will continue to roam
from one portion of the country. to another
in vain search of The Utopia which his
wOrshiPpers have promised him. What
little money he may make in the South from
his crops, he viii ezpend in visiting the
city of Washington and the free States
As long as his money lasts he will be well
considered there and courted but when
his means fail, he will as surely be forced
back to the South. He is the shuttlecock
in the game of battledoor, in which the
North forces the South to take hand.

THE United States Senate, on Tuesday
rejected the bankrupt bill which had al

by vote of twenty-five to twenty. Sen
ator Harris, who voted in the negative,
did SO for the purpose of moving re-
consideration. It is given out that some
of the minor features of the bill were OBJ
jeeted to, but that clear and decided ma
