New Orleans VS.. Memphis.

The New Orleans Crescent is some
what exercised at the publication of an
article of an evening contemporary,
which is true in statement, that Memphis
is far superior as cotton market to that
of New Orleans. The article as pub
lished in the Crescent, in language, says
An evening contemporary makes some
statements which, if undenied, are calcu-
lated to greatly deceive not only our own
people, but those abroad, in regard to
the manner in which the cotton factors
of New Orleans do business, as COM
pared with those of Memphis. The ar
ticle condemns what it terms the cum
brous machinery" of the New Orleans
cotton market, stating that it requires
FIVE or six weeks at the shortest for our
merchants to make sales and returns !;
that such delay is injurious to the
plauter-wbich, did it necessarily exist,
would be true.and that it is the cause
that much cotton, which would otherwise
come to New Orleans, is shipped to
Memphis.
Now the facts are that there is no rea-
son WHY cotton should not be sold here
the day it is received, and in no few cases
it is done. But planters of course author
ixe their merchants to use their discre-
ton as to whether the cotton shall be sold
or held for an advance, in which case the
cotton may not be sold for a month. Be-
cause cotton is not sold and the account
Gales returned within two days after its
arrival at the levee does not prove that
II cannot be sold, but only that the judg-
meut of the factor does not in every in
stance lead him to make an immediate
sale.
As to the simplicity of the style in
which. the Memphis merchants do BUSH
ness, it can be accounted for by the fact
that there being no warehouses in that
city, the cotton is stored upon the bluff,
exposed to rain and lying in the mud.
Of course, under such circumstances,
there can be no warehouse routine" to
vex the soul Of planters.
The true reason why Memphis has
been during the past few months better
cotton market than New Orleans, is that
the freights thence to New York have
been reduced by railroad competition,
and hence prices have there ruled higher
than here.
The above are facts, for which any OF
our merchants can vouch, and we trust
that their statement will 90 far toward
multiplying the careless misstatements OF
our contemporary,

Congressional Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, February "a - Sendte
Mr.. Trumbull reported against the bill 10
define felonies and misdemeanors, and
the peremptory challenge in the United
States Courts, on the ground that the OBJ
jects of the bill are already provided for
in the statutes and also adversely to the
bill bill 10 preserve the purity Of elections ID
the Territories, on the ground that there
is not sufficient ground at this session to
entertain 1t.
The Senate then pasted the joint reso-
luton authorizing the Committee on
Public Printing to conclude satisfactory
contracts with Rives and Bailey for re.
porting and Publishing the debates for
the next two years.
Mr.. Wilson, as Chairman OF the Com
mitiee on Military Affairs, called up the
following bills and resolutions, which
we're passed, viz
The House bill, that brevet com mis'
sons shall only be issued in time Of
war.
The Joint resolutions authorizing the
Secretary of War to take possession OF
the National cemeteries at Antietam and
Gettysburg.
The joint resolution dropping from the
army roll certain officers absent three
months or longer, without leave. The
bill continuing the negro hospitals at
Richmond and other points in the South,
until the Both Of June next, aud longer If
necessary. The bill declaring and fixing
the salaries Of the corps Of Judge Asso-
ciates. The bill repeating the law re-
curing the General Of the army to reside
at Washington, aud requiring that all
orders to the army shall 90 to the army
through him.
Mr.. Trumbuli from the Judiciary
Committee reported, and the committee
was discharged from the further cousid-
GRAFTON Of the petition asking for legisla-
lien to meet the existing state Of affairs
10 Georgia.
HoHse.-Mr Farnsworth reported from
the Posfofice Committee the several bids
for the postal telegraph from Washington

The House then resumed the eouside-
ration Of the unfinished business Of yes
ierdsy, il being the bill to strengthen the
public credit, and lsgAlising gold con-
tracts, which pissed by ll9 to 81. II
passed 10 the same shape as Il came
from the Committee sou Ways and
Means.
The committee then rose, and, on the
motion Of NJ Blaine, ordered the dis.
charge Of the two miscresnt witnesses
from New York, Mr. Reeves and Mr..
Bell, and then, again, went into Com
mitiee Of the Whole on the Legislative

A Canal Across the Isthmus Of PAN


The Government of the United States
has awakened to the great interest to be
secured to our commerce by a ship canal
across the Isthmus'of Panama. Only q
short time ago, Mr.. Seward, Secretary OF
State, directed Mr.. Caleb Gushing, Min
lister to Bogota. to secure the privilege OF
cutting canal across that narrow neck
of land, which is only forty miles from
one ocean to the other. Railroad faciii-
ties alone will not afford us and the world
the advantages and cenveniences that
will result from the canal to be cut. Yes
sells could go through from here to Aus
tralia, Calcutta and Shanghai without un-
loading their cargoes, saving trouble and
expense. The Album, in speaking on
the same subject, says:
As early as the sixteenth century,
Philip the Second of Spain sent two en-
pineers to make a survey for such q
canal as is now proposed, but political
aud physical obstacles prevented the
accomplishment of the design. Several
atte pts have been made by various
governments and individuals to revive
the project, without success; but this
time we hope the result aimed at will be
achieved. The support it has received
from the press of this country, without
reference to party, is encouraging,
and it is generally admitted that
although the natural obstacles to be over
come are very formidable. such canal
has become a necessity. It is estimated
by a good authority that $50. 600, 600 will
be annually saved to the United States
by the work, and probably nearly double
this amount to the commerce OF the
world at large. Ships passing through
this canal on their way from New York
to Melbourne, Australia, will save $500
miles; those from New York to Calcutta,
1000 miles, and those from New York to
Shanghai, 5000 miles. The text Of Mr..
Cushing treaty will be perused with in

The Gold Contracts In Congress.

New York, February 5,-srhs 7ri-
bune's Washington dispatch, says it is
doubtful if the bill which passed the
House, providing for the strengthening
of the public credit, and in relation to
contracts for payment of gold, can pass
the Senate. Senator Sherman is on the
record against it, and he can easily
smother it in the Finance Committee.
Governor Morton will also be formida.
BILE opponent of the measure, and will
surely fight it on the floor of the Senate.

that this would be a good opportunity
for Colonel L. B. TO move upon the

dscity to expel him from the police

ion. was q very trivial matter-a mere

when he was candidate against Merely

condescend to give him a single vote.
