cation of one of his chief mon in the Senate.

--Messrs. Garfield and Bingham, prominent
Radicals OF Ohio, express the deliberate
opinion that the "negro must be thrown oyel-
board"
1t is represented by knowing fnanciers
that the production Of cotton in Brazil, India
and Egypt, will be larger than ever the coming
year.
Senator Spragde, Of Rhode Island, thinks
the North has insanely destroyed tie cotton
monopoly. His firm has lost over million ol
dollars on cotton. Hence these tears.
"A secret order has been instituted in New
York. known as s'The Brotherhood OF the
Black Crook" the ceremonies of which are de-
scribed as even more disgusting than were
those Of the defunct Sons OF Malta.
Some of the Democratic journals advise
the victims of Stewards little bell and STAN
toms big bastiles-all Northern men-to aban-
don their projected meeting, on the 22d OF
February, at the city of New York.
The emigration uia Hamburg during the
eleven months ending November 81, 1867,
amounted to forty-seven thousand seven hum
dred and eighty-five persons, and uia Bremen,

two hundred and fifteen-all to the United
States.
Lovers of the sparkling bowl will be pleas
ed to learn that America manufactures eight
hundred thousand baskets Of champagne more
than the champagne districts of France are
abe to produce. So with madeira and with
port. New York alone manufactures annually
eight hundred thousand dollars worth of wines
without single grape.
The census OF Hamburg, Germany, con-
tains some curious items of information. 1t
seems they have in that ancient free city 1907
widowers and 1885 widows; 476 divorced
husbands, who have not remarked, and G99
divorced wives, who have not sought comfort
in new unions. They have 6S.643 young men
under "a years of age, and 40, S13 girls under IT,
The Turf Field and Farm, published in
New York, in recent article OH immigration,
says: "An the efforts yet made to turn stea-
dy stream Of foreign emigration southwark
have failed, and lately, General Wagner, IN
Charleston, South Carolina, the indomitable
champion Of Southern immigration. man who
has devoted lifetime to the accomplishment
OF what he justly conceives to be the great ard
supreme necessity of his adopted country,
confirms iu his official report, as commissioner
OF immigration, these ideas, which We have
entertained ever since We gave attention to the
subject"
The New York Commercial Advertiser
(Repubican) says: "The Senate exhibited
more sectionalism and narIow-mindedness in
it's action relative to the repeal of the cotton
tax, than is pleasant to contemplate. The re-
mission of this years tax, with clause for its
imposition next year, is half-an1-halt mea-
sure, unworthy Of practical legislators. The
same reasons that demand the remission OF
this years tax are likely to apply next year
with still greater force. Tho culture OF cot
ton is extending in foreign countries, and with
this tax hanging over the planters and freed
men, it is certain to diminish in the South"
The new gold field lately discovered at the
mouth OF the Amoor river will probably swell
the annual production Of gold to higher
figure than it has ever yet reached, and when
we consider that, with the improvements con-
stantly being made in mining and reducing
processes, the supply of the fields already
known becomes every year larger aud larger,
We must expect continued increase in the
price Of exchangeable articles all over the civ
ilized world. What that increase has been
here, with our paper money, we oil know; but
if We were to resume specie payments at once,
we should by that means return to the prices
of eight years ago.
The Montgomery Mail Of Friday last says
'Laborers were hiring themselves yesterday
at the Central Bank corner for fifty dollars,
and even as low as twenty-five dollars for the
year. These were all able-bodied field hands.
Those who got five dollars per month last year
hire themselves for food and clothing. We
hear from the country that the best field hands
are hiring in some sections for forty dollars
per annum. A great many deoline to hire un-
til after the election. Such poor deluded crea-
tures viii find themselves without home, anu
will be put to work by the Government on tue
public works with oversesrs over them. Such
srs some OF the first fruits of Radicalism.
- The National Intelligencer, after discuss
ing at length the revolutionary unconstitu-
tional bill introduced into the House Mon
day. wiping out the Executive and Judicial De-
partments of the Government, concludes it's ar
ticle in the following significant language: "It
can come to nothing without the cooperation
Of the General of the Army. 1t all rcsts on
him. Whatever his reticence, this is matter
in which reticence might be misunderstood. |
At the first overt act, however slight-wcre it |
but to orally promise to accept the functions
offered in it, after such blu had been passed |
over veto-the General Of the Army must DO |
cast into jeil to wait his trial for treason to
his country, unless the Chief Magistrate of
that country is false to the trust of the people
and his oath OF Office"
