This has been another dull day in
cotton, though one buyer took 1850
bales since our last repOrt-One lot of
which consisted of 500 bales running
from Low Middlings to Strict Mid
diings, and averaging a fair style of
Middlings at zoe. 1t was contracted
for last evening, but not fully con
sumated until this morning. As the
market ran later in the day, it proved
q good sale, as I9Ic would be a fair
quotation for the same lot at the close
to-day. The aggregate sales of the
day footed up 1901 bales, and included
TIA Niddlings at 19a2Oe, I52 Low
Middlings at I73a19c, 50 Good Ordi-
nary I5aIsc, I46 Ordinary 13taI4c,
and a few lots of Stained and Low

close was of from 3aIc on all grades,
which accounts for the range in our
quotations. A light speculative feel

The ARKANSAS journals claim that null
berry tree which is native of and grows
luxuriantly in that State is remarkably well
adapted to the nourishment of silkworms, and
as proof of what can be done in a practical
way one of the young ladies' of Arkansas, with
the aid Of the simplest machinery, manufac-
tured seven pounds of silk, which was ex-
hibited at the State Fair and attracted much
attention. The capacity of many portions of
the South for silk culture has long been well
known and the success Of that branch of in
dustry is question of labor rather than
of soil or climate. Eventually the home pro-
duct of silk will be equal to the home de-
mand; but We will probably need good deal
of help from John Chinaman before that
point is gained.

The resignation of his scat in the Senate ~
the Hon. James w. Grimes has given rise to
an animated contest in Iowa over the success
sion, but the struggle is at last at an end,
and it's results have given another illustration
of the inherent evils of our political system.
The one man in Iowa who, above all others,
has claim to statesm 4nship and was deserv-
ing of the honor and equal to the RESPONSE
bilitjes of the position, the Hon. James f.
Wilson, late a member of the House of Re-
presentatives, was defeated in the Republican
caucus of the members of the Legislature.
This was bad beginning. Mr.. Wilson's long
residence in Washington eminently qualified
him for taking an influential stand in the
Senate, where his experience would have been
of great benefit to his State, as well as to the
country. But he was too high-minded to
seek the Office in the prevailing style, and it
was perhaps in consequence of his refusal
to resort to the ordinary electioneering tricks
that his defeat is to be solely attributed. The
fact that he positively and repeatedly refused
to accept position in President Grants
Cabinet, because of his inability to support
the dignity of such high official position
upon the meagre salary allowed, showed the
temper of the man, and his defeat for the
Senatorship under the present circumstances
is even stronger tribute to his manliness
and fitness for public life. -
But the Iowan legislators have not been
content to turn their backs upon q man who
refused to seek the Office within their gift;
they have parcelled out the Senatorial honors
as evenly as possible, selecting Mr.. j. b.
Howell for the remainder of Mr.. Grimes
term, which expires on March A. 1871, and
Judge George G.. Wright for the full term of
six years commencing with that date. Mr..
Howell has doubtless done the party some SER
vice, and his services were deemed to be de-
serving of a significant recognition, he being
the editor of a journal which boasts of the
significant Western title Of the Keokuk Gate
CITY. But by the time he gets fairly under
way, and begins to appreciate at its full value
the glory of Senatorial existence, his career
will be cut short, and Judge Wright, another
new and undisciplined hand, will enter the
arena. The latter is said to be brother OF
the late Governor Wright, of Indiana, and
was defeated as candidate for Congressional
honors as long ago as 1850. Since that date,
however, he has served upon the bench of the
Supreme Court, and when he finally makes
his advent in the Senate, may possibly add
something to the dignity and importance Of
that body. But if he does not come up to
the standard of sold Grimes, and go some
thing beyond it, he certainly will not amount
to much.

ported by European pOwers, it viii evidently
be necessary for the United States TO step in
and with strong hand bring her people to
their senses ct Ia {. An American protecto-
rate has long been talked about, and the pre-
sent unhappy state Of affairs would seem to
point to it as the only possible salvation Of
our so-called sister republic. President
Juarez deserves better fate than the one
which appears to be impending but the tenn
per of the people he has striven so nobly and
patriotically to keep in subsection renders
him or any other native Mexican unequal to
the task. Among the possibilities Of the fu-
ture, we should, therefore, not neglect to con-
template a protectorate over Mexico.

A BILL has been introduced in the State Leg
islature fixing the legal rate Of interest in the
absence of specific contracts at seven per
cent, and we trust it will meet with better
fate than the measures of similar character
which have been introduced in former years.
While the adjacent States of New York and
New Jersey continue to adhere to seven per
cent, the financial and commercial interests
of Philadelphia must suffer deeply from per-
sistence in six per cent. rate here, and
money must forever remain comparatively
scarce. We not only repel millions of foreign
capital which would otherwise seek invest
ment in our Commonwealth, but invite the
transfer Of immense sums belonging to our
own citizens to more liberal portions
of the Union. The insurance companies,
alone, would make Investments amounting in
the aggregate to very large sum in this city,
if they did not thereby incur positive loss.
When the demand for money is so limited as
to make it worth less than seven per cent. it
speedily falls to its true level, and the current
rate of interest paid at such periods in New
York does not exceed the rate prevailing here,
so that, in the long run, the borrowers, as a
class, pay but little or no more for accommo-
dations there than here. On the other hand
our suicidal policy, by discouraging the con-
centration of capital, tends to produce an un-
natural scarcity even in times of the greatest
abundance, and many useful enterprises lam
guish for want of proper financial support
which would be placed on permanent aud
prosperous footing by the legalization of a
seven per cent. rate of interest. We need
more capital badly, and the simple change in
the law which has been suggested would
exert potent influence in enabling our citi-
zens to obtain it.

LOPEZ.

LATER advices confirm the report that the
Paraguayan war is at last at an end, and
state that Lopez is wandering through the
forests of Brazil, at the head of a few follow
ers only. 1t was to be hoped that the budget
of news by the same arrival at Lisbon, ''from
Paraguayan sources, would confirm this story,
and enable us to believe for once that the
power of the Dictator is utterly broken,
but such was not destined to be the
case. Time and time we have been as
sured Of this, and as often We have been
obliged to submit to fiat contradiction, or
at least to material qualification. The
tyranny of this man Lopez has been SO
odious, the farce of this so-called Republic of
Paraguay has been such reproach to free
institutions, that it will be a relief to the
civilized world to know of certainty that
both are at an end. If suoh should, indeed,
prove to be the case, there will be another
outcry, as there has frequently been in the
past, against the grasping policy of Brazil,
and another lamentation of the imminent
danger in which all the South American Re-
publics are placed by the success of the allies
on the Parana But with the exceptions Of
the Argentine Confederation and Chill, these
so-called republics are SO completely given
over to anarchy that thore can be no hope for
them, save through the instrumentality of a
stable government, and If Dom Pedro should
chance to absorb half-dozen of them in the
next ten years, the future OF South America
would be materially frightened by this
''blow' at republican institutions.

hEMEMBER Lor's WITE Mrs. Stowe has
remembered great many things which il
would have been better for her to forget.
and, what is still worse, has insisted upon
teliing the world everything that she remeu-
Ders. But she bns not remembered the scrip
tursi injunction to Remember Lots wife,"
In her weak and puerile ''vindication" of the
SANDER upon the memory Of Lord Byron and
his sister, she refers, in indignant terms, to
an alleged autobiography of Byron published
in an English magazine in 1924, and asserts
that, If all feelings of honor, delicacy, and hu-
manity towards Lady Byron had not been
paralyzed, the editor of this periodical "would
have been overwhelmed with storm OF popu-
lar Indignation, which, like the fire upon
Sodo'n, acoald hGoe left hsD, a pillar Of salt
for warning to all future generations.
Mrs. Stoves lot has been cast a generation
later, and at time when the feelings of
honor, delicacy, and humanity have not
been entirely paralyzed SO that she has
been compelled to bear the full brunt of
just such storm Of popular indignation as
she here invokes upon the head of another
scandal-monger long since defunot. All her
present tribulations came from her habit, as
shown in the lines above quoted, of reading
her Bible upside down and backwards, after
the fashion in vogue with some Eastern
nations, instead of searching the Scriptures in
the manner practised by right-minded Chris
tians. Her knowledge of the misfortunes of
Sodom and the tribulations of Lots wife is
almost as vague as her knowledge of the re-
quirements of common decency

The Governor of Louisiana has signed
bill to punish gambling in that State, and
though we can scarcely expect the new law to
be strictly enforced immediately the fact Of
its passage affords gratifying indication of
an improved tone of public sentiment.
Blacklegs and the chivalrous devotees of the
vice which has hitherto been unchecked on
the river steamboats, and in the saloons of
New Orleans, are rapidly declining in the
social scale, and the old roues will soon be
compelled to invent new and more manly
way of picking pockets. c

THE EXTRADITION QUESTION.
The CANADIAN papers take very sensible
view of the Caldwell extradition case, basing
their position, however rather on the ground
that the Dominion is in danger Of becoming
the sanctuary of frauds and felons, than on
that of good will and good faith towards the
United States. Caldwell fed from New York
to Canada, when accused of forgery in the
former State, and having been arrested, his
extradition was demanded. But his counsel
contrived to get up some very nice distinc-
tions on the difference between forgery in
Canada and forgery in New York, and the
Montreal judge was SO muddled thereby that
the prisoner was discharged. Then resort
was had to a very sharp trick, which showed
that Montreal is almost as far advanced as
New York in the refnements of the art of
thwarting justice and defying law. Caldwell
was suffered to leave the courtroom in
peace; but when the agents of this Gov
ernment, prepared with q new warrant
for his arrest, started in pursuit of
the fugitive, they found the doors
barricaded, and before they could make their
exit from the Canadian temple of justice, the
fugitive had obtained such a start that up to
this time he has successfully eludsd his pur-
suers. 1t is not very creditable to Canadian
law that the alleged culprit should be suffered
to go at liberty, and it is still less creditable
that he should be saved from pursuit by such
an unseemly dodge as the one resorted to.
Such proceedings do not tend to help the
cause of reciprocity much, a fact of which
the leading journals of the Dominion appear
oognizant but by hindering the renewal Of
reciprocity, they indirectly forward the cause
of annexation, as the administrators of Mon
treal justice and other superlatively loyal
people will eventually discover.

TIE NATIONAL RAILWAY CoMPANY.-We learn
that the Chief Engine reported to the directors
OF the National Railway Company, as the result Of
careful instrumental surveys, that there is no grade
ON the line between this city and New York exceed
ing twenty feet to the mile, and that the curvature
in case is less than 1886 feet the line being most
remarkably straight throughout its length. These
facts prove the directors the peculiar adaptation
Of this route to high and safe Speeds and confirm
them in the determination to make it In every re-
speet the best road in the country, to accommodate
the great trade that will centre upon 1t.
