The Future Of Cotton.

The South has doubtless committed a
grave error the present year In abandoning
its corn and grain for cotton. It should have
its cotton fields. Europe and America will
yearly absorb an increase Of five or six per
cent. in cotton, without diminution OF
price, but little more. a small excess be-
yond actual wants, breaks down prices.
Three millions Of bales at one hundred
dollars bale, are worth more than five mill
lions at sixty dollars, for there Is a saving In
bales. freight and labor, as well as IA differ
ence in price, and the policy Of the South
should be 10 diversity its products,
Ii is too early yet 10 predict the effect Of
the Prussian war or cotton. 10 may tcrmi-
nate before November. It's present effects
are depressing, but the low price will slim
ulate consumption, and 10 some extent coun-
teract the depressing effects Of war. and for
tunately our last crop has been mostly sold
before the French movement.-BostOn

BANkRUPTS.
Amendment 10 section m OF Bank
rupt Acs.
Ernm do n. /

From the st. Louis Democrat.
We submit an amendment made to the
bankrupt act during the last days Of the late
session of Congress, which is as follows:
AN AMENDMENT of the act entitled AN
act establishing a uniform system of
Bankruptcy throughout the United
States"
Be il enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled. That the
provisions Of the second clause OF the thirty
third section of said act. as amended by the
first section of an act in amendment there
of. approved July %, 1865, shall not apply
tothose debts from which the bankrupt seeks
discharge which were contracted prior TO
the LIST day OF January, 1869.
Sec. ,. Be il further enacted. That the
clause in the thirty ninth section of said act
which now reads. ''or who. being a banker
merchant, or trader, has fraudulently stop
ped or suspended and not resumed payment
of his commercial paper within period of
fourteen days" shall be amended so as To
read as follows: ''or who, being a banker.
broker, merchant, trader manufacturer. or
miner. has fraudulently stopped payment.Or
who has stopped or suspended and not re-
sumed payment of his commercial paper
within period OF fourteen days"
X. : CHEW, Chief Clerk.
Department of State, Washington, July
&c, 1870.
A true copy.
Thus it will be seen that debtors may now
be discharged from all debts contracted prior
TO January /. 1869, without paying fifty
cents on the dollar. and their estates must
now only pay fifty cents on the dollar Of
debts contracted since January /, 1869.
The amendment in the law will doubtless
bring relief TO a large number Of debtors
who, for various causes. have failed TO file
their petitions and secure benefit of bank
rupt act before January l, 1869.
As there has been much uncertainty ex-
pressed by the various Federal courts as To
what was meant by fraudulent suspension
of commercial paper, &c, the recent amend
ment relieves tins clause from all doubt in

The French Government has lately sup

purposes, and thus has naturally caused an

average derived from practice in France is

The RAIDS are making slow Roadway
pulling the wool over the eyes of Old
Line Wings in order to make them sub
servient to their design of dividing the
Conservatives and introducing a respect
able element into their own party. Here
is what Gen. John c. Brown, of Tennes-
see, says, who happens to belong to the class
whose patronage they are seeking, in
reference to the scheme. We quote from
his recent Knoxville speech:
We have yet a severe battle to fight with
Radicalism. Our enemy Is only wounded
not dead. Shall we, then, while this COM
mon enemy lives. quarrel among ourselves
rs to whether we shall be called Conserva-
tiyes or Democrats Or shall we not unite
as brothers to fight the common en- smy I'M
der whatever name the majority may choose?
As for myself, | was "born and raised" a
Wing, but | am proud to say tonight that
| am a Conservative, a Democrat, or by
whatever name you may choose to designate
an opponent of Radicalism. am Conser-
vative, fighting Radicalism, or Democrat
opposing Tennessee Radicalism. just as YOU
please. The great point L wish to impress
upon you is, care nothing for party names,
but | am a sincere, earnest and hearty hater
of Tennessee Radicalism.

The Desperate Game of the Re.
publican Officials i'm the south.

Judging by the tactics of Governor Hol-
den, in North Carolina, and of Governor
Scott, in South Carolina, there seems to be
no probability that the radical leaders and
carpet-baggers in the South intend TO aban-
don their efforts to retain power by terror
ism and fraud. The defeat which the re-
publican party has suffered in North Caro-
lima has conveyed no lesson to the same
party in South Carolina. Our Monday dis
patches from Washington said that Gov
ernor Scott had commenced arming the ne
groes. and that he had five companies drill
ed and fully armed and that he had denied
arms to companies of white men.-Chicago

General Failure Of the European

for the prolonged and widespread drought
