Bsg% The material growth of the South
during the last four years, says the Ball.
timore Sun, is strikingly shown by the
editorials in some of the Southern pa
pers. The official figures at the depart
ment in Washington estimate that the
cotton crop of the Southern States this
year will be worth $24O, 100000, while
the total value Of the exports of the
South is set down at $685. 100000. At
this rate the value of Southern products
is about $31 80 per head for the entire
Southern population. These figures go
to show that the South is even now the
richest section of the country.

ngg@ We see in the election in the
various States, as they take place, what
we conceive to be very happy omen
for The future interests of the country,
that is, the nearer approach to equaliza-
ton between the two great political
parties. AS long as they are nearly
equally balanced there is but little
danger to the peace and perpetuity of
the country, and it is only in the des-
there is danger. The South will soon
be in the Union again now, and will act
as sort of political balance wheel to
keep the machine running along
smoothly.

A COTTON CORNER.

The Macon (Ga.l Telegraph is very
sure, from recent expe dition to New
York, that bulling experiment is about
to be tried with cotton. 1t remarks that
the dimensions of the crop are such that
every bale will find a consumer, and,
therefore, the spectators will endeavor
to get possession, at low price, and
hold on for rise. It's for the planters to
retain their cotton and not let it pass
into the hands Of factors and specula-
tors. Let the cotton grower watch the
market,and take the profit which other
wise would 60 to the middleman.
The Savannah Republican is very
hopeful in regard to the cotton supply,
and it chuckles over the depression in
the trade in England. There is some
natural vindictiveness in the Republic
cans observations, which are based
upon the Theory that Exeter Hall mo-
bilized abolition in order to give Eng
land and her colonies a monopoly of
cotton manufacturing and growing. Tt
says that "the movement set on foot by
England succeeded. She turned deaf
ear to the appeals of our struggling Con-
federacy. 'The cause went down, and,
to her infinite delight, slavery fell with
it, Now was to come the day of her
triumph. Freedom meant the gradual
extinction of the negro race in the South
and ineffective labor while it lasted, and
after all the world would have to depend
on England for the production as well
as the manufacture of cotton"
But per6dious Albion was baflled.
"Niggers" would work, and English
artisans would emigrate, and the South
will soon be better off than before. Eng
land misses her game and the South, that
was to be remorselesly trampled out of
existence, takes new lease of life and
exalts the horn of her prosperity.

SECS M. Armand, a French savant,
has stated to the Academy of Sciences
that he has discovered q sure antidote
to nicotine in the common water cress.
1t destroys the poisonous effects of nico-
tine, and yet does not alter the aroma
of tobacco. A solution of water cress
may therefore be employed for sleeping
the leaves of tobacco, and would thus
divest them of their noxious properties,
and moreover, a draught of the same
will act as a sure antidote to nicotine.

SATURDAY MORNING, Oct. 16, 1869
THE RIGHT VIEW OF THE MAT
TER.

The Lynchburg Republican has
long and able article on the subject OF
the s'Liberal Movement" from which
we copy a few extracts:
"For some time to come, perhaps for
long time, the people of Virginia who
have given their honest adhesion to the
Walker platform, and assumed its
pledges with full knowledge of their
import, must consent to be misrepre-
sented and harshly judged by those who
do not appreciate their motives, Or
fully comprehend their situation. Suffice
it to say, that the suspicious and criti-
cisms of either side are equally unkind
and unjust that the people Of Virginia
are practising any deep game of decep-
ton and treachery, as some of the Radi-
Gals urge, nor yet going over to the
support of proscriptive revolutionary
Radicalism, as some Of the Democrats
appear to fear.''
" II ~ - - -
"But, as we have said, the people Of
Virginia must not be surprised if they
are misjudged and denounced, and
made to occupy false positions not as
sumed by themselves. Such is the fate
of all men and people who array them
selves against prevailing prejudices, and
who make just determinations between
contending and blinded parties. But as
the passions which the war engend
continue to grow cool, and the selfish
demagogues, who have pandered to
popular prejudice and ignorance, sink
gradually out of all influence and credit,
the Peace Movement, the Liberal Party,
pSpygllRstsd in Xireniaa agd inaaARssprstd
draw to it the confidence and co-opera-
ton Of the best men of all parties and
all sections. And, whatever trials and
crosses the movement may have to ex-
perience from the enmity of those who
ignorantly or maliciously oppose it, an
assured triumph awaits it, when justice
will be exalted over wrong, and truth
will cheat down Satan beneath its feet.''

The New York herald., 1869-04-24

woMANs RIaHTs IN WAsHINeToN- Our
Washington correspondent has described in a
letter, which we published yesterday, the
latest attempt Of the women of the District to
obtain recognition of their alleged right to
vote. Failing in their purpose to establish
this right by Congressional action, they re-
sorted on Thursday to new expedient. Two
white women and one colored woman repaired
to the office of the Board of Registration Of
the First ward to request to have their names
enrolled among the legal voters. They were
treated with distinguished consideration by all
present on the occasion, and particularly by
certain newly manufactured American citizens
Of African descent, who politely escorted them
in Chesterheldian style to the chairman of the
Board. Colonel Cooke received their petition
and promised to have it considered at the next
stated meeting of the committee. The dis
tinctive feature Of this latest phase of woman
suffrage is the joint demand of white and sable
sisters for the elective franchise. Why should
not white women claim IL as well as negresses
and negroes2 ''That Is the question" for the
Washington Board of Registration.

THE HALE-PERRY CAsE.-We have received

TIE HALE-PERRY CAsE.-we have received
from Washington full report of the speech
delivered by Senator Cragin in the Senate
chamber, on the 18th inst, in defence OF
Messrs. Hale and Perry In their respective
capacities of American Minister and Secretary
of Legation in Madrid. Mr.. Cragin was par
ticularly severe on persons who make anony-
nous accusations of this description, as tend
ing to impair the efficiency Of our representa-
tive system abroad; lauded the personal char
acter and set forth the public services of
Mr.. Hale, and was special In his con-
demnation of the effects and uses of O
RECKLESS press, which shows fiendish predi-
lection for evil rather than the good which
men do Mr.. Cragin also claimed that ''there
is a domain into which even the enterprise Of
the press has no right to enter" A committee
OF three was appointed to investigate the case,
and we hope they will discharge the duty
thoroughly.
