WILL GOVERNOR WALKER
RESIGN 2

A New York correspondent of a
Washington paper predicts that ii
General Candy insists upon forcing the
iron clad oath upon conservative mem
bers elect to the Virginia Legislature,
md in case of failure to comply TO fill
the vacancies by the selection of those
radicals who may stand next on the
tickets, Governor Walker will urge the
resignation of those conservatives who
may not be able to take the required
oath, and then resign himself-thus
throwing the whole question of the
election of Governor and Legislature
back to the people. We do not think
this will be very wise course. Cover
nor Walker had better hold on TO what
! e has. 1t raay be difficult to get a
better hand immediately if he throws
up the cards he now holds. Besides
there is nothing wrong about his record;
and whatever may attach to that OF his
friends with whom he has
been elevated to power by the voics of
the people must become oblterated as
light and reason begin to pervade re-
publican councils. The republican par
ty in the North and West can never
stand before the masses upon the show
ing that the decided expression of the
will of the people has been so outrage
ously disregarded as ia proposed to be
done by General Candy in the case

THE NEW COTTON CROP-FlNE
pROSPECP FOR THE SOUTH.

A few bales, and the first, of the new
cotton crop have come to the New
York market. That from Georgia
classed as low middling, was sold at
auction for thirty-six cents pound,
and that from Alabama, classed as strict
midding, brought forty-eight and half
snts. These, it is true, may be termed
Their fancy prices, as the first bale or
two of the nav cotton crop always bring
more than those that come after. But it
is an indication of what the price will be
hereafter. We may conclude, therefore,
that the crop of 1869 will realize an
immense sum of money. This crop Is
variously estimated-between TWO mil
lions and half bales 10 three millions
probably it may reach two millions
seven hundred or two millions eight
hundred thousand bales. 1t the aver
age price throughout the season OF sales
should not exceed twenty-five cents
pound though from present appear
ances it will be higher than that--the
crop will be worth over two hundred
millions of dollars From all the light
before us there is reason to believe it will
bring nearly that sum in gold. This
production, too, is in addition to the to.
bacco, sugar and other valuable crops Of
the South for expectation. Besides, that
section of the country since the war has
paid more attention to the raising OF
grain. corn and other articles of food and
is now, perhaps, independent, or nearly
SO, u outside supplies. In short, the
South this year will have surplus pro-
duct.on to be sod for cash over and
above the production Of necessities
worth, at least two hundred millions OF
dollars. With more labor and capital
to develop their resources the Southern
States will become very soon the richest
country on the gobe.-Herald

GE Chief Justice Chase, we are now
told, by authority, has written no letter
concerning the formation of new par
ty, and he carefully avoids entering into
political matters or controversies. 1t is
possible be may have written letters to
his friends expressing opinions as to the
palicy that should be pursued towards
the South, as any other citizen might.
Nor does he make any mystery as to his
views on this subject. He has not hesi-
tated to say that universal amnesty
should go with universal suffrage, that
the disabilities of the Southerners should
be removed, and that the wounds of our
civil war should be promptly healed.

of the National Board of Trade on the
subject of central route of navigation

been 10 laborious session here for four

sui at SoL champion, England, ex- Sena-
tor Cagerton, of West Virginia, ex-
Senat Clymer, of Pennsylvania, and
Others Every part of their report,
prepared by Mr.. Hughes, has been
carefully matured. The report will
show the railway and navigation sys-
tenn Of the valley to aggregate $4,000
miles ia length. ......es
These systems are stimulating pro-
duction in a powerful degree. The
railroads crossing to the east are over
tasked. The northern water route is
closed by ice five months in the year.
The southern water route is taxed with
heavy insurance on the gulf and high
pilotage on the Lower Mississippi, Both
water routes lead around the nation,
and would be blockaded in war. A
direct, central water line from he
mouth of the Ohio to the central water
port of Norfolk would afford cheap
transportation to market for Western
produce, and bring cheap food to Eas-
tern manufactures in War as well as in
peace. Water carriage would bring
wheat from as far as Fort Benton, by
its cheap cost. The report gives = his

of the cost of completing with capa
