A DETHRoNED .KINa.-Cotton can
never again be king in America, and nb-
solutely rule over ns, yet its broken
sceptre, made whole once more, will,
after while. nuke its power fot at
home and abroad.
The distress OF the English cotton
operatives during the rebellion, did
much to foster the hl-wiil of the lower
classes against this cOnntry, aud. Eng
land took advantage of the occasion to
establish. the growth Of that staple in
many of her dependencies. but so unsnc,
cessfnlly, that it is estimated by the
British Board; of Trade, that there "are
in England 5000 people less earning
their living in" >tton manufactured,
than there were before the rebellion"
The present, Appearances now nf the
cotton crop South liz not altogether fn-
vorable, yet when the schemes of the
Memphis and New Orleans Com,neroi,l
Conventions are carried ont. and the
South is again supplied with the means
to properly conduCt the cnlture of cot
ton. thsre is NO rsasonJ to suppose TINT
she will not hereafter raise larger aud
better crops than shs ever did, Her
labor will be more skilled, her planters
more intelligent, ana her agricultural
appliances more perfect in, every way.
The British Board of Trade estimat..
above referred to also shows that instead
of their now being O.OOG less cotton
operatives, than before the war, in the
natural order Of the laws of trnJe, there
should be d70. 900 mors people SD employ
ed. This looks US il England had not
been altogether gniner by onr loss.

The blood is the great nutritive fluid.
Its Office is two-foid. It provides mate
rial for the regeneration of all parts, aud
receiving the products of their waste, it
conveys them to proper organs for re-
moval from the system. Thus it carries
life to the body, and removing therefrom
effete matters, it carries off the seeds of
disease and death. Pure blood is, in
fne,' the great nntritive element of the
body, the great nourisher of the tissues,
the very life of the flesh, the very es-
sence of health. HE1NITsH's s QUEEN DE-
LIGHT is the great medicine for the blood,
and everybody should try it. Countless
are the testimonials in its favor. It is
truly the only medicine now needed as q
summer tonic e1d liver invigorator. jill

Ieve that these same rebels can be indis.
oriminately shot down in cold blood by
few cowardly white miscreants, backed
by horde of semi-barbarous negroes,
without bringing on collision, in which
its friends will speedily go to tho wall?
Is not the advice given with the view to
bring about the speedy and certain de-
struction of the negro race, whose pecu-
liar friend lie proposes to be?
We tell the Tribune that when it be-
gins .'to shoot down every rebel who op-
poses its party" that it will have begun q

rejoiced since the days of Murat and Ro.

Sunday Morning, June Is. 1869,
A Rnhblnical Cpnfercnce.

The two oldest Jewish rabbits in the
United States, Drs. 8. Alder and d. Elm
horn, of New, York city, have: issued q
call for q Rabbinioal Conference, Tor the
purpose of introducing reforms. The
cill is as follows: ,.,5,f, ,..'.',., ' 1,s,.,
's,Jewish religious life has in the past
years, under the, blessings of. liberty,
very ;auspiciously advanced. Reformed
Judaism has become power from which
even the so-called orthodox congrega-
tions cannot exclude themselves any
longer, and oil that is required to more
firmly establish the maintenance Of this
power, and to spread it in more extended
spheres, is the concurrence of like think
ing rsbbis on the principles, not the
form OF modern worship, and the solu-
ton OF various practical religious, espe-
oially marital questions, which concern
life so deeply, and which, in great mea-
sure, are decided in most positive con-
tradictlon against the principles of re-
form, and according to the Schuloan
Aruch. 80
The undersigned beg, therefore, to in
vita their theologically educated col
leagues who favor decided religious pro-
gress to Rabbinical Conference, to be
acid sometime after the coming holidays,
with o request to communicate their de-
~clslon es soon as practicable to one Of
the undersigned, and, if in the afirma-
live case,t to designate their wishes as to
the time and place of the conference.
The Jeaufsb Times, which publishes
this call, makes the following comments
upon it, which we quote to show the OBJ
ieot Of the call. The Messenger gays: e,
Such q conference, a ,lesideratum for
years. has now become an absolute ne
soeasity, In this country, where no ne
nAossity exits to temporize and oompro-
mise, where those who are in sympathy
with the ideas of progress congregate
together, and need make no concessions
to those who yet are tied with iron chains
to the habits of the past, the advocates
OF decided positive reform should come
out boldly and proclaim their views aud
principles, and bring abouta Q harmony
OF practice with the weight and authori-
ty which such q conference would i'm
part. Such questions as divorces by the
civil courts, the Levirate marriage, and
others OF q like pressing nature. want an
authoritative solution. A concurrent de-
olaration should establish forever, if in
our Agenda prayers for the restitution
OF animal sacrifice for o personal Mes
siah, o reconstruction Of temporal
!, kingdom in Palestine, and the Hebrew
language, as the principal language of
: prayer, are to be retained, and whether
reformed Judaism is to drop obsolete
customs which have no longer any mean
;lng and Significance in our days.
