PIG or PIP?

The Press and Times has Gu
rious way of making war upon
prohigacy and corruption. 1t has
treated Col. Colyar's exposure Of
the Encouragement of the city
finances and the misrepresentation
of the public funds, both in it's local
editorials and communications, in
the most fiippant manner. With
equal propriety it might treat ex-
posures of the school fund rob
berries in the same way. In yester
days issue, it prints a cOmmuni-
cation complaining of Col Colyar's
exposure of what the ring has been
doing to rnin the credit of the city,
because The price of city checks
has gone down. The wri-
ter does not seem to know
that the extraordinary large amount
of.checks out, connected with the
fraudulent manner in which large
sums have been thrown upon the
market, has had more TO do with
the decline in prices than any thing
else. To DO consistent, the Press
and Times should either defend the
school fund robbers or denounce
the peeulators upon the city treas
ury. 1t should be either pig or pup
all the time and on both its editorial
and local pages. .t.'l.H aH r.

A GUSHING New York reporter,
referring to the ecclesiastical mar
riage Of Prince Louis Bourbon to
the lady he had previously married
according TO the civil law, exclaims:
The knot is tied at last, and the
Bourbon dynasty, whether on the
throne or in exile, must accept the
situation" which is simply bosh
The Bourbon dynasty" if it
should ever come to its thrones
again, will no more scruple TO
annul this marriage than the
other. Either of them is good
enough while the parties live under
our law; but Miss Hamel's history
will not unlikely be that of Miss
Patterson, of Baltimore, who mar
ried Prince Jerome Bonaparte.
Prince Louis Bourbon's family have
been extremely active in taking
measures to break the marriage
and to ruin his fortune if he cling:
to Miss Hamel, as he now seems de.
tcrmined to do.

The Washington correspondent
of the New York Tribune, noticing
the arrival Of Stokes in the city,
says he expresses great confidence
that "he can be elected easily, but
should there appear any doubt as TO

will be effected" 1t is understood
that Senter is equally confident
that he can be elected easily" and
and he certainly has the registra

is the fairest chance in the world
for them to test their popularity,
for it is very certain no Democrat
will be a candidate.

COTTON CROP sPECULATIONs.

The cotton crop is fruitful
theme for speculation. The seed is
scarcely planted before the country
is edited with the guesses Of q largo
number of knowing gentlemen who
seem to think that they know all
about the matter. We have been
told by some of these observant
gentlemen that fully an eighth less
ground had been planted in cotton
than last year, because labor could
not be procured to cultivate
larger amount. As is usual at this
season, the crop is receiving a
large share Of attention. From
almost every portion of the South
we have had reports Of serious
damage to the young plant by
the cold and exceedingly un-
pleasant weather Of the first
three weeks of May, and many
planters we're reported blowing up
their cotton and planting corn in
stead. TO such ali extent has this
been done, it is claimed it will re-
duce the crop estimates very mate
rally. In addition to the bad
| effects Of the cold weather, the
caterpillar is reported to have
appeared in Florida, and to have
already committed terrible devas
tation in the cotton fields of that
State. In the face Of all this, a
Charleston correspondent Of the
| New York Commercial and Ship
| ping List takes q most hopeful view
| of the situation" He says:
/, 1t is yet too early in the season to form
| any definite estimate regarding the prOb-
| able crop Of 1869, but we can look at its.
| present position, and form some judgment
| Of its promise provided no casualty occurs
| to reduce the yield. The papers have
| accounts daily Of injury to the cotton
! plant, from the cool weather which we
have had in the South, but it may be
| noticed, that every spring the same un.
favorable accounts of the weather obtain
currency, in spite Of which, however a
crop finally reaches market Those IA,
miiiar with cotton cultivation, know that

Nav or beginning of June, after which
time it grows rapidly, some times reachs

cool weather that we have had has un-
douhtedly retarded the growth OF the
plant and probably has done some
injury. a.
We will now look on the other side of
the question. There has been without
doubt, more land planted in cotton this
