COMMERCIAL.
TUESDAY EVENING, Septemh


CorToN-The sales to-day embraced 1850
bales at rather easier prices, without any
ulotable decline. We accordingly continue
OUR previous figures, as follows Lew ordin-
aiy 10 q lie: ordinary II a BE; good ordinary
Ii a l5ase; 10y middling l6ls a lie; middling
Ia u 017Ac; strict middling "A loc, and
gbod middling 1874 &c.
The supply was rather more liberal, and
ali factors met the demand freely. the sales
summed up the amount noted above. The
gencral tendency of prices was to inside
figures. but the bulk Of the business showed
m5 actual falling off. We heard of excep-
tional sales of low middling at &c and l6asc
alnd of strict at lGl2c, but there were other
shles of the latter at l67s, lie and a frac-
ton higher We also heard of middling
under II lsc. The closing decline of l2c at
New York was not known until toward the
close.
The sales for the past three days sum up
1880 bales and the receipts 4,O72, embrac-
ihg 24l from other delivery ports, and ,S3l
proper, against 2,2l6 proper for the CORE
spending time last week, and 1908 last
1ear, and since August 81 l0,O63 bales,
3gainst II 346 last year The exports have
been confined to 1921 bales to New York

CUT4NEOUS DISEASES AMONG THE Doc
TQRS

When the Hon. James Brooks turned his
mind to corsets and hair-pns, we hoped we
should hear no more shin-bOne speeches in
Washington. But the eminent advocate of
the Caucasian race who represents the With
District OF New-YOrk seems to have left his
mantle to the American Medical Association,
and that eminent body has been bearing tes-
timony against cutaneOus pigments and prog
nathous jaws with fury which would do
credit to whole temple full of raving Sybis.
The question seems to be whether local socie-
ties which admit cOlored physicians to men,
bership are fit to affiliate with tho American
Medical Association. Judging from the pro-
ceedings of the last few days, we should say
the question ought to be whether the Amer-
can Medical Association is worthy to affiliate
with them, and our impulse would be to an
swer, No.
The gentlemen who have made such q ridic-
ulous pothcr in this highly aristOcratic and
exclusive society have such horror of dark
skin that they won't even sit in the same
room with white man who has been sitting
in the same room with black mainland how
much further back they extend the ban we
really don't know. Whether they fear that
color is contagious, like smallpox, or believe
that the innate infamy of the African race il
so awful that it degrades every man who
comes for "a moment in contact with a negro,
is point upon which they have not yet en-
lightened us. They have given no reason why
physician who is qualified by education and
character to practice his profession should be
disqualified merely by a dark skin to attend

Now and then, when the Editor of country
newspaper has fit of indigestion, he seeks
relief in growl at the character of the news
furnished him. We make no ObjectiOns;-
tradesmen who decry their own wares are not
generally so lOng-lived as to be very trouble
some. But we should prefer that they would
direct their grOwls to the right quarter Just
now one or two New-England editors are
making complaints against the n. Y.
Associated Press for some recent dispatches
from this city which did not seem to them of
absorbing importance. Before they talk about
such matters in public, they should know enough
not to expose their own Ignorance of their own
business. The N. Y. Associated Press had
nothing to do with those dispatches. 1t is un-
der contract to furnish its news to the agents
of the Eastern, Western, Southern, and N.
Y. State Associations in this city. These
agents send what they please, reject
what they please, are the sole judges of
what shall be sent, and are response
BILE for their judgment to their employers
When these papers are not satisfied that some
thing is sent, or that some other thing is not
sent, their complaint lies against their own
men, under their own orders. Perhaps if the
few dissatisfied ones took the pains to under
stand their business, they might get it con-
Quoted to their better satisfaction.

COUNTRY Homes by s. EDWARDS ToDD," ia
new book which will disappoint many readers 1t
treats of Houses of all sorts and sizes, giving en-
cravings of diverse kinds, telling how to build them
and the cost of each, from log cabin up or down.
to an Italian villa :" but all this engrosses hardiya
third of the book. The author proceeds to discourse
of Farming, good and bad, of Horses, Cattle, Sheep.
Swine, Poultry, &C., &c, in the most simple and
practical fashion, showing the right and wrong way
of doing almost everything that farmer ought to
do including many jobs that most farmers suppose
out of their line and expect to call in the blacksmith
carpenter, painter &c. &c. Mr. Todd speaks OF
matters with which he was practically familiar from
childhood and of Others whereof his knowledge mas
been enlarged since he has devoted his time to the
Agricultural department of different journals. This
is a good book. full of homey. needful information
and being widely read, will do good Its ilinStra-
tions are numerous and well chosen. We may speak
of it more fully hereafter.

People in these days, at least in this coun-
try, are rather disposed to laugh at duels
and in truth they are most Of them, rather
ridiculous. A funny account Of one we find
in The LOgansport Und.) Journal. The princi-
pals were so frightened that it was only by
the most ardu0us exertiOns that the seconds
could get them to the ground. They appeared
at last, "looking detected" But then came
the doctor also. He opened his case of surgi-
cal instruments. There were the saws and
knives and tOurniquets and lint-all things
necessary for amputatiOn. This looked like
business and one of the cOmbatants sank
limp and trembling to the ground. He said that
he felt quite ill-he had a kind of faintness
or call ll-goneness," or some variety Of syncope,
we suppose. Upon this his antagonist
he would have been bis antagonist if
there had been any fghting-cried ont that he
"would mt shoot sick manw and all was
bloodlessly over. 1t might not be much to
the credit of human courage, but we wish that
every man who goes on the field to fight a
duel might be taken with the same kind of
falling sickness. There is MT much dueling
to put down; what there is left of the system
may be most effectually suppressed by simply
making it ridiculous.

and true, and there will be q satisfaction IN

has been ensnared and bound which those who
love fair, manly dealing will prize, whatever
may be the event.
We are not unconscious of the immense

Thousand benefciaries of our City Govern

The money of tho taxpayers will now Ike

OUR HIGHER JUDGES.

The People of our State, on Tuesday the nth
inst. are 10 choose the Chief Justice and AS
sociate Judges of their highest Court for a
full term of fourteen years ensuing. We ex-
hort every legal voter TO consider the import
ance of this election and be sure to cast his
ballot.
We make no appeals to party spirit. We
believe the Republican candidates able and fit
men, and shall vote for them most heartily
But if you know any reason to vote for one
or all of the rival candidates, fail not to act
accordingly. We would have the best men
chosen, though none of them should be our
choice. Electors of New-York! vote as your
judgments and cOnsciences shall dictate, but
fail not to vote
New-York tribune., 1870-05-07

The French conspiracy grows more con-
temptbe daily. Fresh acts of the Govern
ment still further betray the purpose
for which the story was invented and
so assiduously published. Having BAN
ished or arrested the men most deter
mined and most able to defeat their plans
the authorities yesterday devoted their atten-
ton to the Liberal newspapers, three of which
were suppressed. Tomorrow the election Is
to take place. 1t is not difficult to see before
hand the result. Napoleon will declare himself
sustained by the vote of the people, and then
we shall have display of magnanimity and
the abandonment of the prosecution of the
alleged cOnspiratOrs.
New-York tribune., 1870-05-07

Captain Ericsson announces in cOmmuni-
cation to The Army and Nary Journal that he
has perfected system of submarine attack by
which he can destroy the largest iron clad
ever built. The great problem has not been to
make torpedo, but to place it under ships
bottom. The resistance of the water is SO
great that explosive projectiles have always
proved failures when designed to strike below
the water line, and other means of attaching
the torpedo have been found too cumbrous and
uncertain to be available. Captain Ericsson is
confident that he has devised q prOjectile
which will answer the purpose. 1t is an
elongated shell, charged with 300 lbs of dy-
namite and shot from 15-inch gun at such
an elevation as to enter the water near the
hostile vessel and strike the hull anywhere
below the water line. 1t is fitted with per-
cussiOn cap which explOdes upon very slight
impact against the hull, so that the velocity
of the shell when it reaches its destination
need not be high. The gun is carried on
