CHECK YOUR COTT0N!!
USE TffE "0DELL COTTON CHECK ,,

And you will not lose in weight only from
natural causes. You will always get your
own cotton for it ca mot be exchanged, nd
you ran no risk of getting light bale for
your heavy one; nor Low Ordina ry for Good
Mlddling Cotton. BY the use Of this check
you give your merchant a KEY TO ALL
ERRORS-they are discovered at once and
rectifed before loss is sustained. 1t gives
your merchant voucher to correctness very
satisfactory to him, and you will know who is
to blame in case of losses. 1t will relieve
him from blame for another mans mistake.
Use the "ODELL COTTON CHECK p
and your merchant will RETURN IT OR KEE,
IT FOR YOU to corroborate his account sales
out, even if all marks from the heads Of bales
are gone. 1t caves steam boatmen much time,
much money and trouble. In using the
~OpELLCoTroN CHECK" mark simple letter
or any usual mark on the head of the bale for
convenience. and if hundreds of bales are
marked exactly like your cotton and on the
same boat, n O one can have ANY NUMB Err
LIKE YOURS, as there are no two checks
alike.
This check is made of brass-is about the
size of Mexican dollar, and is complete
fastening or lock around the tie-it costs only
25 cents, and will last the planter, merchant or
| cottoa ealer many years. 1t is approved by
all planters and cotton dealers who have seen
it.
Checks can be ordered through all country
merchants, any Commission House or nv

Legislation on Life Insurance,

The enactment by the Legislature of Lonis-
lana of such laws as will effsctually project
the vast interest &C widows and orphans which
have been intrusted to life Insurance. conpa-
MES. has beea already discussed in our papers.
We have now Def ,re US au earnest article
upon this subject in the Insurance Advocate,
of Richmond. Virginia, for January, 1870.
The views presented by the writer seem to
high authority npo, the subject, they are emil
tied to consideration. The author is w. C..
Darlington, President of the Piedmont and Ar
iineton Company of Virginia, which company,
under his management, has attained remark
able prominence by its success, having in lit
tie over two years acquired nearly two millions
S2,OOO,O OO) of assets. Mr. Darlington con-
siders the existing laws of Virginia upon life
insurance inadequate and unwise. They re-
qufre every life insurance company working in
Virginia to deposit a certain amount in bonds
of the State in the Treasury. He urges that
this adds no security to the policy holders, but
on the contrary, diminishes their dividends,
damages their interest, and endaagers the
policies by tying up SO much capital of the
company.
Instead of requiring deposits, he urges that
State Legislatures should exact laws providing
for rigid and fearless scrutiny into the affairs or
insurance companies; that these laws ''should
require full exhibit, explicit statement ofinves-
ments, full statement of present and contin-
gent liabilities" etc., aud that there should be
in every state an insurance department, the
head of which ''shonld be versed in the science
Of mathematics and insurance, pure in princi-
pie, above reproach. and entirely independent
in his positon.'' @>s
We are not now prepared to say what will
be the best measures for our State 10 adopt to
meet the great and growing interest of policy
holders. s,r - sasTs7s -.--.as
But the general outlines of of Mr. CARING
toms. suggestions meet our approval. He has
established his skill and energy by the remark
able success which his company has achieved:
and the earnest manner which he now invites
close scrutiny into it's affairs, shows that he
feels confident that, in extending so rapidly the
business operation, he has in no degree COM
promised the solveucy of the Piedmont and
Arlington, which can stand any test or exam
ination.-Picuyu7e "

hundreds of bales of cotton unpicked in
the fields. In some instances, planters
who were on rented places, have been
compelled to leave their places, their
lease having expired. with considerable
cotton left ON the stalk. Ever since the
beginning Of the holidays the darkies
have worked with considerable 1eluc-
lance, and the disagceeable weather
which has prevailed during that time

TIE END, PROBABLY, OF THE RED RIVER
REBEILIoN.-It appears that the Red River
insurgents have seized the Hudson Bay Com
panys safe, at one of their trading posts in
the Winnipeg basin, containing two hundred
and fifty thousand pounds, or one million two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, in gold, as
financial basis Of operations II so we
suspect that the insurrection may be pro-
nounced at an end, because this large sum in
gold will enrich all the men concerned in It,
considering the value Of money in the Winni-
peg country, and considering the fact that the
active insurgents number probably less than
1--WE hundred men. In short, II the report Of
that safe is true, this Red River rebellion may
be reduced to movement for the annexation
of those two hundred and fifty thousand
pounds and then for . compromise with the
New Dominion.

Candidates for tho Next Presidency.

1t is generally understood that General
Grant will be the republican candidate for the
Presidency in 1872. Who will be the demo-
cratic candidate ''doth not yet appear" al
though Governor Hoffman seems at present to
have the inside track. But there is already
no lack of miscellaneous candidates. In fact,
their name is Legion, alias Scattering. Scat
tering has always received great many votes
at every election, much to the mystidcation Of
some Of the voters. The earliest Richmond
in the field is Daniel Pratt, the great American
traveller and lecturer, who. if not sure of
being elected in 1872, hopefully invokes the
suffrages Of afuture generation, and harangues
the college boys and school boys of New York.
The irrepressible George Francis Train rushes
everywhere, from San Francisco to Cooper
Institute and the Church Of Bad Dickey, call
ing on countless audiences to endorse his self
nomination to the Presidency as greater
American traveller and lecturer than Daniel
Pratt But these volunteer candidates are
now jostled aside by the great Panjandrum Of
Erie, Fisk, junior, who as Snowman out
bangs Barnum, and as fnancier has thus far
proved more than a match for the whole anti
Fisk coalition In Wall street. When he made
his appearance in new character as q
popular orator at the recent meeting of the
Erie strikers in Jersey City, and went back
on bloated capitalists and strong for hungry
laborers and their dependent families, an en-
thusiastic striker nominated Fisk as the work
ingmen's candidate for the next Presidency
yet spring up like jumpng-jacks remains to
be seen. Meanwhile these may do to begin

Our CUBAN CORRESPONDENCE. The news
which we publish in another column from our
special correspondents In Cuba does not afford
much consolation to the well wishers of Spain.
General Pueblo, who started out from Nuevitas
on the 25th ult., amid flourish of trumpets
and high-sounding proclamations, with three
thousand men, has done comparatively
nothing. His promises to crush the revolu-
ton In his department have not been fruitful
inresults. Notwithstanding all the boastings
Of General Pueblo that he would stamp out the
insurgents in the Central Department he has
done but little. Ifthe Spaniards mean busi-
ness they should work more and talk less.
Words accomplish nothing.

A SOUTH AMERICAN IMBRoaIIo.
Lopez, Of Paraguay, was present recently at
one Of Secretary Fish's dinners, and Sehor
Garcia, the Argentine Minister, has protested
to the Secretary that his presence there was
an insult. What Mr.. Fish, who desires to
keep the peace and harm nobody, replied to
this fiery pro- est is unknown, but he probably
thinks, as we do, that for such little republic
the Argentine Confederation puts on good
many airs. These little protSgss Of ours have
of late been annoying US in o number Of ways
with their punctilio, and now they seem likely
to get Mr.. Fish into hot water.

1Ne DomlnIcaa Troaty-The Policy ei

We are glad to learn that the Committee on
Foreign Relations OF tho Senate (Mr. Sumner,
chairman) will probably at their next meet
ing take up tho treaty for the annexation OF
the republic Of Dominica Qhrec-ffths OF the
island of Hayt) to the United States; and we
are glad also to hear that the committee ore
fully aware that the action Of the Senate upon
this treaty will 60 far to determine the future
policy Of our government In reference to the
other islands Of the great West Indian group,
and that the subject Sin every phase is looked
upon as one Of the most interesting and impor-
tant that has yet come under the attention Of
the government"
This is the right view; but It does not cover
the ground. The Dominican treaty, we hold,
offers most desirable opportunity for the
Inauguration Of q peaceful policy Of annexation
in the Gulf Of Mexico at the lowest possible
cost and with the greatest possible advantages
to the United States. OF course tho republic
of Hsyti, in order TO secure the whole
island, will have to follow Dominica
but Hayi is ready to come in
on tho same terms. Cuba must come next,
and with these two dominating islands we
can walt for the ripening Of the others Of the
group. st. Domingo and Cuba win suffice 10
give us the commercial and military command
Of The Gulf and the Caribbean Sea, which is
necessary in view Of the absorption Of Mexico
and the Central American States, and In view
likewise of the proposed and inevitable inter-
oceanic Darien Canal Hence the importance
of the Dominican treaty. 1t covers this whole
field. It is the true policy Of the Senate to
ratify this treaty, because the programme Of
which it is the entering wedge is manifest
destiny" The defeat Of this programme now
will be apt to bring about the defeat Of the
administration party in 1872, while the sue
cessful Inauguration Of the policy indicated
will be the making Of the administration and
its supporters in reference to the Presiden-
tial succession. The election of 1874, on the
Texas annexation question, in which the great
Henry Clay, in opposition to annexation, wst
defeated by second rate and unexpected
democratic candidate, should pot be forgotten
The public sentiment of this country, only
much stronger, is now, as 1t was then, In favor
of the policy of annexation; much stronger.
