Exnorts of Cotton.

The following is an official record of the
exports of cotton during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1867, as compiled at the
Bureau of Statistics
Uplands and sea island exported from all
the ports of the United States. 667, 137, $50
pounds value in currency, as declared by
the exporters on their clearances, $500, $40,
919. The admixturo of sea island with the
upiands explains the seemingly high valua-
tion Official comparison with the foreign
statistics reveals the fact that the cotton on
arrival abroad fully realized in the market
the values sworn to here, although the
price of cotton declined since October
last.
The exports of cotton for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1866, were, including sea
island cotton, $50, 572, ,829 pounds, valued
at s.. .S5, 223 The Director of the Sta
tistical Bureau is receiving returns showing
the average quantity or cotton seed sown
to the acze, the estimated yield of cotton
in bales and the number of pounds count
ed to the bale in each locality of the entire
cotton growing region of the United States.
These returns will, it is said, furnish COM

Gold was run up, on Tuesday, lin Wall
street, to 142, upon sensational rumors from
Washington, to the effect that rupture
| between Gen. Grant and the President was
| impending, and that the former had writ
ten another epistle to the latter upon the
| Sheridan case, which was of q more signif-
cant character than even the published let
ter. But yesterday, explicit and absolute
contradictions of these reports were au-
| thorzed by more than one Cabinet Minis
| ter.
The money market is easily affected by
| rumors at time when distrust of the fu-
ture prevails. Public confidence is not
strong enough to be self-sustaining. But
the plethora of money in New York, caused
| by the lack of legitimate business, pro-
notes speculation in gold and stocks. The
manufacture of sensation rumors, becomes.
therefore, q popular and profitable trade.
There is enough, however, even in facts
before US to account for fluctuations in
prices. Things supposed to be settled may
yet prove under possible circumstances, to
be unsettled. The country may find it.
self at sea again as to its entire financial
policy in the confusion and conflicts of a
factious and President-making and Presi-
dent-breaking session of Congress soon to
be held. It is not what may have occurred
between Gen. Grant and the President du-
ring the last few days that has shaken con-
tidence in Wall street, so much as the
threatened action of Congress at the COM
ing session. The widest schemes of finance
and all utter disregard of public credit and
their legislation. Resolutions offered at
the last session by Radical members, and
which are to be brought at the next,
look to taxation ofthe United States bonds,
and also to an enormous and invidious tax
upon large holders of land. Demagogues
will find large field for operation in the
coming political canvass. The people are
to be either humbugged or dragooned in
to the support of Radical rule for another
four years, and Senator Sherman, of Ohio,
has already announced, triumphantly, that
the next Congress will consist wholly
of Republicans. An Eastern Radical lead
er, General Banks, has made the same
assertion.
The consequences of continued Radical
despotism will be the further delay of res
toration of the Soute; the retention of: the
military force in the Southern States for
the subsection of the people; the expendi-
ture of thirty-fve millions a year for the
support of the army and Freedmen's Bu-
reau in Southern States; the delay of South
ern industrial recuperation; and prostra-
tion of Northern commerce, so far as it de-
pends upon Southern prosperity.
It is not remarkable, that under such
circumstances gold should rise, and that
gold and Government bonds should be ex-
ported in large amounts It is much to
be apprehended that Congress, upon its
meeting, will inaugurate measures that
tend to bring back our Government secu-
rites from Europe for sale, thus producing
a panic, and carrying gold up to two hun

The ignoring of Principles for Persons

The prevailing tendency in the radical
mind to ignore principles, and to treat
great public questions in purely personal
relations. is of alarming import. This ten
dency has been strikingly eXempllfed in
| the case of Sheridan, but it is manifested
all the time and on all occasions. Funda-
mental principles are not only subordinated
in importance to men, but if any man will
Jump over those principles in the interest
| of party, straightway that man is looked
| upon as more essential than the cOnstltu-
| ton and the laws, and with loud bleatings
| the whole flock follows him over the re-
straints which he has overleaped, and are
unbounded in their admiration OF him and
| of themselves for the glorious achievement.
Not content with making an idol Of every
| individual who thus signallZes himself In
their interest, they insist that all other
Americans shall divest themselves Of their
manhood, cast away the characteristic in
dependence of the American mind, and
bow down and worship ''Great is Diana
of the Ephesians," and the man is consld-
cred q blasphemous infdel, and mallg-
nant lunatic, who does not echo the cry,
and wallow in the mud and slime OF person
al abasemept Especially is this the case
if the false god is bedizened with military
trappings and wields sword sharp enough
to cut through all that the political wisdom
of ages has devised for the preservation
of the freedom and security of society.
Here, for months, we have had the press
dailv filed with Sheridan, as if the Heav-
ems would fall If Sheridan was removed; as
if there were no other officer in the army
of the United States who could carry out
the reconstruction laws but Sheridan; as If
Sheridan were more important than not
only the constitution, which has long
become obsolete, but than the reconstruc-
ton laws which, in one part of the coun-
try, have been substituted for it. Thus
we find even General Grant assuming that
it is the desire of the people that General
Sheridan should command in the fifth dis
trict, and the President of the United
States, who finds the will of the people in
the constitution, is denounced and threat
ened with impeachment, not on account of

The English Church Rates.

On the oath instant the British House oi
Commons, as announced by telegraph yes
terday, passed the bill abolishing Church
rates. In 1853 the House of Commons
passed bill to abolish Church rates, un-
conditionally, but the House of Lords re-
fused its assent to the measure by large
majority. The Church rate is tax impo.
sed upon the inhabitants of England for
Church repairs, and is levied by the church
wardens of the parish, together with the
parishioners, and is made upon the tenant
in respect to the land or house he may oc-
cupy, which it is claimed is obtained at a
less rent or price in proportion to the rates
levied upon it. Since the seventeenth cen
tury the payment of church rates has been
always more or less resisted in England,
and of late years has been the subject OF
frequent discussion in Parliament In
many parishes the majority of the vestry
were adverse to grapting the required rate,
on the ground that it was unjust to tax
members of one religious denomination for
the support of houses of worship used by
another denomination. At last national
subscription was raised to test the question
by litigation, and it was brought before the
ecclesiastical and civil courts of law In the
Braintree church rate case, which lasted
from 1887 to 1853, and it was ultimately
decided by the House of Lords that the
church wardens and the minority of yes
try cannot make a legal rate against the
will of the majority. Nevertheless, in 1858,
the House of Lords, as we have seen, re-
fused to pass a bill of the Commons abol-
ishing church rates uncondihonally. The
total annual amount raised by church rates
in England is about three thousand
pounds

Revenue Receipts from Whiskey.

Commissioner Rollins is In New York,
and on Wednesday attended meeting of
the Metropolitan Revenue Board. The
New York Herald, speaking of this Board,
says:
1.-The new organization, however, has
already demonstrated its usefulness by
facts and figures. We see that the total
tax collected on distilled spirits withdrawn
fIOm bond in June was only $51, 1886, while
the amount received in July ION the first
day of which the board inaugurated its
operations) was $134. S10-being balance
OF S03, 474 in favor of the new system-far
more than was the total amount collected
during the preceding month under the old
order of things. Judging from present in
dlcatiOns, the amount of tax on whiskev
that will be paid when this month of Au-
gust shall have closed will not fall far short
OF Sl10, ,O0O-more than three times as
much as was the average monthly receipts
before the board was in being. This, too,
with number of legitimate distilleries
closed, and others running at half their
capacity.
6 A meeting was held a few weeks since
by the assessors and collectors of the vari
GUS districts, at which it was resolved tn at
an address should be prepared for present
alton to the next Congress, asking for
amendments to the present revenue law.
and for the abolition of the system un der
which 1t Is being executed. This move
ment may be intended for the best: but,
coming as it does from those only who, by
Inc creation of the Metropolitan Board,
nave been shorn of their enormous peroui-
sites. 1T appears to be, to say the least,
suspicious"

WHAT L LIVE FOR.

Whose hearts are kind and true,
For the Heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too,
For the human ties that bind me,
For the task by God assigned me,
For the bright hopes left behind me,
And the good that [ can do.
live to learn their story,
Who suffered for my sake,
To emulate their glory,
And follow in their wake,
Bards, poets, martyrs. sages,
The noble of all ages,
Whose deeds crowd histOry's pages,
And Times great volume make.
live to hold communion
With all that is divine,
To know there is a union
'Twixt Natures God and mine
To grow wiser from conviction,
To profit by affiIction,
Reap truth from fields of fiction,
And fulfill each bright design.
live to hail the season,
By gifted minds foretold,
When men shall live by reason,
And not alone by gold;
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted,
As Eden was Of old.
I live for those who love me,
For the hearts that know me true,
For the Heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too.
For the right that lacks assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance,
And the coed that l can do.

And it gently took its flight
Ere it new of sorrows blight,
Ere earth's thorny path it trOd
Went it's infant soul to God.

Sweetly down the stream of time,
Till it ring in merrily
