Cottonseed, which at last promises to
become q of our most available sources
of wealth, has not yet received the atten-
ton At the hands of planters which il

The following important letter, written

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS REVENUE, :
W~AsHtNGrON, June y, 1870.
SIR: Ihave the honor to scknowledge
the receipt of your note of the 23d, max
ing inquiry as to the truth of a statement
"that the total gold value OF the exports
OF the United States for the first nine
months of the current fiscal year was in
excess of the total gold value of the i'm
ports for the same PERIOD - and in re-
Spouse / would say that the statement in
question is not correct, although il is true
that the national balance Of trade on the
merchandise account is much more favor
able than it was during the correspond
ing period ofthe fiscal year 1858.
The approximate figures of the export
and import trade of the country for the
first ten months Of preset fiscal year, l. e,
to May 1, lS70-the movement of specie
and bullion being omitted-are as follows:

If we suppose the excess of specie and
bullion exports 10 have been devoted
exclusively to the liquidation OF balanees
incurred on the merchandise account, the
remaining balance or the account to be
settled for in some other manner-for the
hrst ten months OF the fiscal year 1920
would be SL2, 444, $50.
For the remaining two months of the
fiscal year lS69-70 the account are, of
course, as yet incomplete; but enough is
known to make it certain that the adverse
balance, as above exhibited, will be ma
teTially increased On both the merchan-
disc and specie and bullion accounts.
The annual Indebtedness on account Of
the interest on federal and other securities
held abroad, and for freight carried in
foreign bottoms (which last expenditure
the President of the United States regards
as equivalent to $50 much money cast in
TO the sea''sl is further known to have
considerably increased during the past
year. Thus, wkAedGring the nine months
ending March 81, lST6, the increase in for
eign tonnage entering the ports OF the
United States was 40S, Ole tons in excess
Of the entrances for the corresponding pc
rod Of the previous year, the increase in
American tonnage entered during the
same periods amounted to only SAG tons.
Taking these facts into consideration,
the balance OF the indebtedness of the
United States TO foreign countries, for
the fiscal year ending June, 80, 1879. will
be approximately as follows:

1t is said that the Pope has written another

The French army now in Algeria, number
ing 81, 900 men, demands to be recalled to re-
sist the Prussians.
A telegram from Berlin states that the fol-
lowing news is official The manifesto at
Wilhelmshoe and signed by Napoleon, which
was recently published by La Situation, is
entirely unknown here, and is doubtless apo
chryphal.
The present indications are that the Prus-
sian forces are massing heavily on the west
and southwest of Paris, where the approaches
are believed to be more open and the defences
of the city more vulnerable.
1t is asserted that Lyons demands the right
of coinage, and the establishment of mint
in that city. The goldsmiths of the city, in
particular, demand the right to coin and issue
small silver currency
Adviccs received frum Berlin state that the
citizens in large numbers have petitioned the
King not to expose himself to personal dam
ger at the siege of Paris. His male sly has
replied that he has taken his decision, which
is that he will not return to Berlin until the
war is terminated.

THE WE'LL MURDER.

We shall now see whether the precedent
established by the Sickles case, which has
never been overruled by any verdict since
rendered in this country, will be accepted by
Maine court and Maine jury. Since that
trial it has uniformly been held that man
may kill the person whom he suspects of Sc
ducing his wife or of maintaining improper
relations with her. The history of the Cole
Hiscock case and the still more famous
Richardson Nc Farland case will show that we
do not state the principal too broadly. 1t is
true that to soften its harshness juries always
find the respondent insane, but that has
become merely an established legal fiction,
like Doe and Roe and the plaintiff s allegation
in trover that he lost the property which the
defendant found. If it were otherwise the
persons acquitted would be shut up in lu-
natic asylums instead of being permitted to
20 at large with their strong homicidal ten
denotes threatening the lives of their fellow
citizens.
We trust that Maine will become entitled
to the credit of breaking down this most dan
gerous and irrational practice. revengetul
and unprincipled person may otherwise right
fully conclude that it is q perfectly safe trans
action to shoot an enemy, only taking cure to
make the usual defence The Hallowell
case seems to be one of the most aggravated
description, the murderer of Latin and the
would be murderer of his wife appearing to
have no occasion for Jealousy. We trust
that Attorney General Reed and county at
torney Whitehouse, who are two very able law
yers, will do their uttermost to bring the
offenders to justice. -Po,1land Press.

NFHAs an item ofinterest to our local mer-
chants, we copy the following notice from the
Boston Post, relative to the new quarters Of
one of the largest and most enterprising job
bling houses in the country.
A SPLENDID New SToRE.-Sargent Bros.
G. Co.. one of our best known and most ex-
tensve importing and jobbing dry goods firms,
on Monday opened their new store, Nos las
& l54 Devonshire street, to their customers
and the public generally. They had previously
been established at Nos JOG & l0S Devonshire
street, but increasing business forced them to
seek wider quarters. Accordingly they have
occupied their present location, probably the
largest and fnst of the kind in the New Eng
land States. The basement is high light and
admirably suited to the purpose, has an area
of IA 900 square feet, and is devoted to the
white goods, linens, domcstics, fannels, blan~
kets, etc., and includes a large packing room
and entry clerks department. BY means OF
court opening upon Federal street goods
are received in the rear, and by another court
are delivered, without obstructing the street
or sidewalk in front with trucks and boxes.
Elevators driven by steam raise and lowerthe
cases into and from the packing roUm. The
floor above contains $4,000 square feet of
room, and is devoted to silks, velvets, shawls,
dress goods, woolens, small wares, etc. The
counting room, private offices and the like are
also on this floor The silks and velvets are
shown in suitable room at the rear end OF
the store, lighted by a rotunda above. This
floor is very high studded, light and airy, and
hard finished throughout. The floor above is
supported by elegant Corinthan columns,
which, while substantial and sturdy, are also
graceful and light in appearance, and add
to the beauty of the room. Both departments
are heated by steam. The firm, on the occa-
sion of opening their new warerooms, spread
an excellent and substantial collation., furnish
ed by Henry Smith, and of which their hosts
of visitors had only pleasing remembrance
to bring away. The firm has a history of al

sales are not exceeded by those of any firm

The export of arms and munitions of war
from England to France has greatly increased
within the last fortnight The orders received
are of such magnitude that 1t is impossible to
execute them all. They are for arms of every
description; for powder, for cartridges and
caps. Enormous quantities are daily sent for
ward, and millions Of pounds Of powder have
been shipped from English ports for the
French ports on the Atlantic and Mediterra-
mean within the past ten days. The publica-
ton Of the Prussian protests against the sup
plying of France with these articles has caus-

pie, and is producing an effect diametrieally
opposite to that which was expected.
