THE TESuRE-or-oFFIcE BLL.--A caucus
Of Republican members of the Senate was

ing any civil Office to which he has been or

The Sorosis has lasted year, to the utter
discontinue Of the croaking prophets who
predicted 1t had no element of vitality in it.
On Monday 1t celebrated Its first anniyer-
sary, and sounded the charge for another
campaign. The annual address concluded
as follows;
eve have raised our symbol banners over
all the classes of our order, and II we march
to music that beats such watchwords the
world will not long he in ignorance of what
we are doing, nor shall we sleep on our arms
when the trumpet calls to signalizc our eX-
istence by great and worthy deeds. We have
attempted union of pleasure with use, to
bring together the beautiful and the true, to
link endurance with refinement; charity with
the removal of wrongs; protection with sweet
ness; simplicity with art; and to blend all in
one harmonious creation of perfect woman
hood-the browning purpose of united
Sorosis. The standard is raiscd let II never
be lowered. The work is begun; let 1t al
ways go on.
1.-THE year that has gone down to 1t golden
sunset has done much, given much for our
delight, our improvement, for our growth,
| and the ripening of our aims. Let the red.
dening sunlight Of another year blaze on oul
| snowy banners, and bring out their COLDER
watChwords in ornamental splcndor over
| our ranks, that every step may keep time tc
their ascending harmony; and let this year:
progress be the beginning of grand career
broadening and deepening, till it brings a
ray of hope and healing to the lowest depths
of womanly despair, and rests crown on
the noblcst brow of womanly achievement,
outshining the splendor Of her proudest
dream"
Precisely what this purpose is does not
clearly appear; but the new president re-
marked that "mcn had had the sole control
of affairs long enough, and pretty mess
| they have made of it," In this ominou'
sentence lies the secret of the future. Man
is 10 be displaced. II Is an awful prospect
but man must meet the issue brlycly, and
be ready for the worst.

The Necessity of Education.

Says the New York 1Tmes "a
writer in the London Times says that
the Russian se,f fs are lapsing into n
condition of 'idloness, drunkenness and
orime.' Now that there are none to
fog them, fully one third have bo.
come paupers' We don't know how
true this is, and rather question it, as
wo have no corroborating authority
for the statement. But the mistake
in Russia was that emancipation was
not followed by education. The spur
of Intelligent necessity, and the am
bition and pride and self-respect
which como with knowledge arc the
highest incentive to labor. They
give It honor and dignity. In Ameri.

as soon as the chains fell from him,
and we have no trouble. Labor has
only to think to grow. How can it

Gold aud Cotton Declining.

Gold is down to $l.2l in New
York, and cotton declining. Tho
high price Of tho staple, statistics Of
the most reliable character provo,
lessencd the amount of manufactures
for l86S-69 to tho extent Of 100000
bales in this country alone, and render.
cd the business of cotton manufacture
ing in England SO pro6tlcss, that they
seriously discuss the question of re-
moving their surplus machinery to
India or to America. SO that prices
do not promise to rise at all beyond
tho prices oflast year. Indeed, they
Threaten nominally to fall below
them. But if sll other articles of
commerce fall with gold and cotton,
the whole country will gain, and the
planters no much as others.
Wo notice this fall, to counsel
against panic and consequent sac
rilioo Of cotton. Whatever DO the
nominal price, owing to fluctuations
In gold and currency, the present
crop of cotton is short one, and will
n'ry = unl Of it bell ut remunerativo
igurcs. Let the planter, then, while
avoiding holding his Drop for merely
speculative prices, rest assured that
there is brisk and steady demand
for cotton, and be sure that he gets n
substantial profit on his labor, before
he sells.
