port that all the Danish West India

the Island of ST. Thomas, only, is to be
sold TO the United States, for which the
sum to be paid Denmark is eight million
dollars in gold. The disturbance again
broke out in Devonshire There was a
bread riot at Barnstable to- day, which
exceeded in ferocity and destructiveness
the riots at Exeter. The mob broke
into butcher shops and bakeries, plum
dered them and set them on fire. The
police and military were obliged to fire
on the mob.

E6y- The signs of animation and re-
vival of business now begin decidedly,
and why there should not be an early
return to good old times, except from
official Encouragement, we do not see.
There is no other sufficient reason, and
that is in way to be obviated Give us
good government, and nobody need
doubt returning prosperity to the BUSH
ness of our city. There are many
croakers, we know, who cry ruin, ruin,
and say we can never get back to the old
rate of progress. But the reasons they
give for such an opinion prove that the
opinion is wrong. Suppose labor does
fail in a large degree as to cotton, and it
does not come into the city to as great
an extent as formerly, still people must
wear clothes, and buy the instruments of
agriculture, manufactures and commerce,
which they do not produce themselves.
And the large scope of country drained
to this city will come here to buy. The
colored population is not provident,
and will spend what it makes here,
and FIVE times as much as ever was
expended for it by the former owners of
slaves. Even the white population, hav.
ing smaller means, will buy nearer home
than formerly, while they will buy about
as much as ever. Cotton planters never
did spend much for Injuries. A few
bought carriages and travelled little,
and do about as much now. But the
great mass lived very closely and cheaply
and dressed plainly at home. They
cannot economic now much more than
they used to do. Cotton never did
any great deal for Memphis but to pass
through and leave some two and a half
per cent behind This supported but
few, who, ifthe cotton fails, will only
have to change their business Many
smaller places in the South are now
growing rapidly, and new towns being
built up along the lines of the railroads.
Short crops Of cotton aud unremunera-
tive prices viii only change the direction
Of the industry of the country to new
channels. That is all the harm it will
do, and when thus diverted, labor will
become more profitable, instead Of less
so, and the city more thriving, as the
examples Of all the towns north of us
demonstrate. At the demise Of King
Cotton we should begin to thrive under
a new regime and the sooner he is dead
the better for both town and country

SATURDAY, November lO.-In the
Senate a resolution was adopted sus-
pending L S. Hill from the Office of
Warden of the Penitentiary.
A bill to incorporate Board of Immi-
grafton, with $1,000 to aid in turning the
tide to the South, was reported by special
committee. Mr. Garner opposed the
bill on the ground that it gave too much
power to the Executive, and some sue
cessor might turn it against the Repub-
lican party. What a pity any legisla-
ton should work for any other good save
thet Of the so-called Republican party.
Senator Carey advocated the bill. Sen
ator Matthews did not think it would do
any good 80 long as the lands remained
in the hands ofthe " landed aristocracy.
Senator Eckle believed the. landholders
were willing to sell their lands to German
immigrants After some further learned
and sage remarks of the insxtinguishable
wiseaeres the bill passed a second read.

a Democratic gain wherever the ballot
box has been best guarded and purged of

terprise, and the company have no

TAXING BoNDs.-The next session

all the democratic talk about taxing
bonds amounts to, and how insincere
their professions were on the subject
made before the election. They
have majority in that body, and
can tax Government bonds if they
SO desire and think it can be legally
done. But they know it cannot be
done-knew so when they were talk
ing about it previous to the cleo
tion-and they will not attempt to
do it. They will find some excuse
for dodg,ng the question, with
out meeting it squarely and honest
ly, and thus attempt to further de-

The Rain.

I've been watching the rain
Through my window pane,
AS it falls from the cloudy sky
Like gift of Love
1t comes down from above
On the earth that is parched and dry.
It's still small voice
Makes my heart rejoice;
And each drop seems to say,
With a pleasant sound
As it falls to the ground,
I'll wash the dust away.
How fresh and clean
Are the leaves of green;
The drops that glisten there
Shine clear and bright
In the silvery light,
Like diamonds rich and rare.
The trees stretch out
Their arms so stout
To catch the falling rain;
And the fragrant breath
From the dewy heath
Floats over hill and plain.
The river is low y
Where the waters flow
The rain will make it rise;
And we'll hear once more
From its pebbly shore q,
The sturdy boatman's cries.
I keep watching the rain - I'D
Through my window pane
And my heart feels glad to think,
IT'S a gift of Love ,cf4er
From the Father above,
For the thirsty earth to drink.
