COTTON IN ENGLAND.

The London Shipping Gazette OF Saturday,
January 9-the latest date received by mail
has the following interesting article:
The course Of the cotton trade during 1868
was simply one Of progression. In all depare-
ments considerable activity was apparent.
The quantities taken for homo consumption
were large, and the manufacture Of cotton
goods was on most extensive SCALE Prices,
therefore. advanced, and till quite the close of
the year all descriptions we're held with great
frmness. Those who calculated upon q con-
siderable decline in the quotations as the re-
States in 1867, have been greatly disappointed.
But what has really occurred in the market to
depreciate the value of cotton? The increase
in the consumption, as far as regards the
Liverpool market only, has been equal to 1884,
$50 bales; splnners generally, from the immense
number of orders coming forward, have ope-
rated with great freedom, and the price of cotton
has steadily advanced. In order to show more
fully the position of the trade as regards price,
we may observe that the weekly average value
Of middling New Orleans cotton, for ten
years prior to the American war, was 64d. The
average last year was 102d. per pound. We
have long contended that nothing short CT two
heavy crops in America could possibly reduce
the quotations more than I'd. per pound. We
are still OF the same opinion, because the wants
of the world are increasing, and because, in q
genera! way, they can only be met on safe
principles at low prices. The last crop of cot
ton in America will, no doubt be found fully
eQual 10 l,(OU,VUO DaloS, ana tne produce In
India will be fully equal to most former sea-
sons. Still, large growth will not, at our
present rate Of consumption, have any material
influence upon the quotations. The accounts
for Liverpool, made up to the 31st ult., show
the following results:

The Hickman courier., 1869-03-06

A correspondent of the Louisville
Democrat, gives the following graphic
pen picture of Justice, Bush, McHenry,
Glass, and other old fogie members of
the State Legislature
"They are very ready and pronounced
in their opinions on all questions which
they do not understand, or which do not
in the slightest manner, concern them or.
the people they represent. AS well ex-
pect from the body of a sweaty Ethiop
the perfume of the violet as the exercise
of an enlightened and liberal legislation
from such as these. It's not in them.
Education. taste, association, instructive
bias, fear of censure from those who con-
troll their political tenures, all these
chain them to the little narrow plank of
a rigid and uuthinking economy as fast
and close as the galley slave to his oar.
When the 'yeas and nays" are called on
a question involving the expenditure of
money, I have no doubt, the clerk of
the House unconsciously and involunta-
rily, before their names are quite called,
writes "No" after them--certainly tho
members would be astonished out of their
propriety should any but negative re-
sponse be given. These gentlemen are
unexceptionable in habits and deport-
ment, and personally are esteemed by
their associates, but legislatively-
"quick, slave, bring me the hartshorn
ere faintl" So marked has been their
opposition to all measures looking not
only to the interests of the people Of the
whole State, but to such as proposed to
benefit certain sections and localities,
that it is next to impossible now for
these gentlemen to get through the
House for themselves, a matter of strict
ly local legislation when in the slightest
degree opposed. A liberal legislator can
always pass his local bills, for he never
interferes with the local concerns of am.
other-such men as these are almost pow
erless except as their votes will cripple
the measures of others, 1t will be we'll
for their constituents to take note of
this before the next August election, If
they wish the business of their counties
attended to-"
