Still, as VIC said, VIC need not be
alarmed, with all these depressing
circumstances, that the cotton trade
will pass from us, or that England
can successfully compete with us in
the production of the material. Ma
ture, and not man, has decided this
matter. The Cotton Commissioner
in India is in ecstasy because there
they have increased the production
from thirty pounds to seventy pounds
to the acre. Weraise, from fair aver
age crop, four hundred pounds on an
acre. Besides, the cotton of India is
much inferior to ours. IT. is the short
staple kind, not suited, without being
mixed with ours, for the manufacture
of the best materials. And they have
failed to acclimatize the American
varieties in India. Nor will Eng gland
ever be able to do this, unless she can
turn the Gulf Stream Which sweeps
along this continent to the coast OF
India, or can find another such Gult
Stream with it's climatic influences
elsewhere. 1t is this wonderful and
bcnefcent phenomenon of nature
which gives us the necessary showers
of rain alternately with the warm
RAYS Of IL scrni-tropical sun, that
reaches certain belt of our country,
the great cotton producing region OF
the world. This it is which brings
tosuch profitable maturity that beau;i-
full and valuable annual plant Which
clothes the world and covers the
oceans with the sails Of commerce..
This is beyond the competition Of
British capital or British national
pride. We have, in years before the
war, produced over two hundred and
fifty millions of dollars worth of cot
ton annually. ard if Congress docs
not ruin the South and the produc-
ton of cotton, by its absurd aid dan
gerous legislation, we may exceed that
amount hereafter. The demand will
be increasing continually, as ciwliza-
ton advances, and, in spite of what
may be done in India and other CO..
ton countries, we can always commai.d
the markets of the world.

LoAFERs AND LoAF1Ne.-Wek know
of no more reprehensible practice
than ''loafng." Some persons be-
come so addicted to it, that they en-
tirely neglect their own business, and
spend all their time lounging in the
stores and places of business of their
neighbors. They seem not to be a.
ware of the fact that they are incom-.
moding their neighbor, injuring him
in his business, and annoying him in
various ways; orif they are aware of
it, do not seem to care how much in
jury or annoyance they occasion, but
continue to force their company upon
him at all hours, Sin season and out
of season." No class of persons suf-:
fer more from this practice. than
newspaper editors. An editors room,
or place of business, seems to be es-
teemed by these people as ifspecial-
ly fitted up and maintained, for their
accommodation. They enter it as,if
it were the;: own domicile, which they
kindly permitted the poor devil to. ec-
cupy temporarily-take the best chair,
occupy the editors. desk; grab up the
latest exchanges. before the neYspa-
perman has had an opportunity ofglan.

sary business of the Office Howev-

MUCH, even of a good thing, is too
much; ard we are sometimes induced
to exclaim With the poet, SAKE:

providence has placed them. If these
monkeys are so full of aspirations
that they can't content themselves in
the cotton-felds, but are sullen and
discontented, and would rather sit in
the halls of Congress and listen to
the eloquent and humane speechesof
the members, or preside at political
meetings and talk about the rights Of
monkeys, then. they are not the sort
of cotton-pickers thatwe require, and
before our Texan friends commit them
selves any further in this matter, they
had better ascertain the height and
depth Of these monkeys ambition.

something to congratulate itself on.
While our colored citizens arc voting,
the monkeys, can pick cotton.
But in what light are we to view
these new cotton pickers? Will they

If we take these monkeys from

CoUNTRy.-Mr McCulloeh, the Sec
rotary of. the Treasury, i'll reply to
an invitation to u dinner rendered
him by prominent citizens Of Boston,
regrets his inability to attend, and
makes a few remarks upon financial
matters. He says that the bountles
to soldiers, preparations for the IN,
dian war, the intended large issac Of
bonds for the Pacific Rail Road, and
other liberal appropriations for mis-
cellaneas purposes, together with the
partial failure of the wheat and corn
cropslast year, the tardiness of recon
struction in the South, the reduced
taxcs and general dullness OF. trade,
will prevent q reduction and probably
produce an Increase in the ,natiopal
debt for some time: He gives the
following reasons for not contracting
the currency at the. present time, but
says he is as much in favor Of that
policy as ever.
Fsrst-The views Of a majority Of
the members of Congress, as indica-
ted by humber Of votes last winter,
were adverse to immediate contrae-
ton, and I have not felt at liberty to
place myself in practical opposition
to the law-making branch of the Gov
ernmcnt, without whose support l
must be powerless.
tSecond-Thcre have existed for
some months past anxious forcbodlngs
of financial troubles, and while they
continued l have been apprehelisive
that Il contraction Of the currency,
the object aud effect Of it being mis-
understood or mlsinterpreted, might
produce panic in the commercial
cities, which, extending over the coun-
try and beyond the speculative inter
csts, would iijuriously affect legiti-
mate business and thercvenue depen-
dent upon it.
lHWd.-Large amounts of inter
cst-bcaring notes are to be paid or u
converted within the present and
next fiscal year, to which it seemed
prudent for me first to direct my at
tention, leaving the question OF a
curtailment of the circulating notes
to be determined, from mouth to
mouth, by the. condition of the coun-
try and of the treasury:
Fourth.-Anticipating that the
failure of the wheat crops and inc
other circumstances alluded to would
seriously affect business, l have con-
sidered it important that the public
mind should not be diverted, by the
criticisms and complaints of those
who are opposed to contraction, from
the real causes of trouble-that a
sound policy should not be put in
peril by being made the ''scapegoat"
for evils resulting from different eau
ses.
