The Chicago Republican Of Monday

ing sentence, "There is trouble ahesd in
Tennessee" Some gentlemen from this
State, formerly OF the Uaion army, vino
were in Chicago last week, in attendance
upon the Army reunion that closed its
session In 8 d~iscTsditable uproar, instruct
ed the editor Of that paper that the situa-
ton in this State is worse than it was a
twelve-monJh since, and that the Ku-
Klux have been modified in prepsrs-
ton for q campaign In behalf Of
ANDREW JOHNSON for Governor. He
says, and we believe il, that the Ku-

NEW YORH.

NEW York, December 22.-The Brook
lyn Common Council last evening voted
10 subscribe S30G,0 900 to aid IN building a
bridge across East river. Such sum 70 be
paid in instaIlments after $1,000, 600 have.
been subscribed by other parties.
Geo. A. Delaney, q clerk IN the New
York postofiice, has been arrested for
embs zzling a valuable box from the
mails. He was held for trial in default
Of $1,000 b2il.
Sigusmund Guiterman and Simeon
Guiterman, importers, on Reed street,
we're yesterday held for examination by
Commissioner Butts, upon charge o.
dsfraudiDg the Government out or many
thousand dollars, by means OF SNUG
Cling silks, shRwls, and other valuable
articles. The examination Of the matter
viii take place on Wednesday next.
The Times Says of the Indian troubles,
that this policy now determined upon
and under execution by Sheridan is en-
tirely new. The army commander has
been compelled to adopt it by the mis-
cradle failures of the Indian Agents and
Peace Commissioners, and he ought not
70 be obstrueted in its execution by dalsy
uDcn the part Of Congress, or unadyised
interference by the President. A poTma-
pent ceace can now lie Obtained through
an energetic and successful war.
The Herald thinks that the declining
tendency in Government bonds Is due to
the tinksring policy of Congress.
The TFi6uns'S Washington special says
that Gen. Grant has ordered Gen. Bah
cock to visit and inquire into the condi-
ton Of affairs in Arkansas, q to report
ST once 10 headquarters. The reports re-
eeived Through rebel sources represent
that the colored people are the agrees
ors. Gen. Grant desires TO be fully in
formed on the subjact by a trustworthy
person before he takes action.
The Herald says there is more anxiety
to 90 upon the Pacific railroad commit
tess By Co0gTessmen than upon any
other.
Further particulars OF the s.upenGOus
frauds in the CUSTOMS revenue have
coma to light. From the s~fi1ds-its Of
Taos. R. Tcole, one Of the special agents
of the Treasury Department, it appears
that silks to the value of S525, 600 have
from time to time been invciced as CLOCKS
and shades by the Guiterman Brothers,
and others.
At q recent meeting of the officers Of
the leading railroads here, arrangements
were perfected for the more prompt
transmission OF freight from this city to
the West, and freight cars will go
through without breaking bulk. a new
tariff will be put into effect on the first
of January.

Government troops in that region have
been successful.

COrTOx-THE CBoP, AND PROSPECT

COrTOG-TEiE CHOP, AND PROyPECF
OF PRICES.
The estimates by respectable authori-
ties Of the present cotton crop 10 not
differ very widely. The Commissioner
OF Agriculture thinks it viii fall q little
below that Of last year, and other esti-
mates place It at about 100000 bales.
We are inclined to knock of nearly half
q million bales from thls figure. Uo 10
this time during the present season cot
ton has come forward much more rapidly
than usual, sRd this circumstance has
probably deceived many who take tina
receipts Of corresponding periods az an
element in their calculations. Let the
crop amount TO q few hundred thousand
bales more or less; Of one thing we feel
assured, that by March next it win bring
a good round price.
The consumption Of cotton in fbis
country last year was $50, goo bales the
annual increase Of cotton manufacture
in this country is more than ten per
cent, and as stocks OF cotton and cotton
goods are running low, it is probable
that VI shall not export much more than
we did last year,. $50. 900 bales. Since
the war the consumption of American
cotton in Europe has steadily increased,
while that OF India has correspondingly
dimiZished. During the past three
years the annual increase in European
consumption has been $4,000 bales, and
il nov exceeds by $4,000 bales that Of
1s5956O-tbe great cotton year.

reduced during the war, the whole gain
