A WRITER in the Cincinnati Gazette
makes some very sensible remarks on the
prices, cotton, currency and financial pros
poets of the year 1872. His ideas concern
ing the undue Importance which has been
attached TO cotton, rs production of the
United States, seem to us eminently sound.
The folly of proaouncing cotton King" Of
American produce has been as sufficiently
demonstrated as has that other absurdity--
the belief that the South would lose by
the abolition Of slavery. The war de-
throned both these idols, and yet neither
cotton nor the South have lost anything.
In 1859 the average gold price of cotton
was II cents per pound. In 1871 it brought
10 cents in gold. And this is not owing,
as many argue, to Scant supply IN ISI.
The cotton crop of the present averages
fully as well as that before the war, and as
the work of raising it Is done by the freed
men, another mooted question is thereby
Settled-the question whether free negroes
work as well as slaves. Neither is this in
creased value of cotton the result of an in
creased volume of currency, as is proven
by the fact that the price Of other staples,
more important than cotton, has not ex-
periencad a like augmentation. The true
solution Of the problem lies here. More
cotton goods are manufactured now thar
before the war, hence a greater demand fol
cotton and the greater price paid for it
And so the South has gained rather thar
lost by the abolition of slavery. Cotton ha:
taken its proper place among articles o
produce and the negroes have proven them
selves able to work without master.-AI

A Grant Protectorate.

We have bit of information from
Washington, says the Saginau Courier 70
the effect that President Grant is exceed
ingly anxious to establish a protectorate
over Mexico. The miserable condition of
that beautiful country iustities any decent
measures of pacitieation, and 1t would
under any ordinary circumstances, be.
perhaps. the most friendly as well rs the
wisest act our Government could perform
1t would assist in the development Of
Mexico's resources it would lead to ex-
tensive emigration, and in time to the
absorption of the entire country into the
great family of States.
But are Grant and the present Admins
tration the right parties to bring about 50
desirable result A protectorate over 4
vast country, full of the most diverse and
disorderly members of society, accus-
toned for years to civil war and minor
freebooting, il not an easy matter, espec-
tally for q government which has so far
shown its inability to protect one OF its
own citizens on foreign soil
In the same mail which brings us fresh
word of this proposed protectorate, comes
the news of an American citizen. a DR.
Howard. transported to penal colony in
Africa by the Spanish authorities OF Cuba
tor no crime whatever, but on the per
iured testimony OF an outlaw who did ii
to save his own head Why did not our
Government protect Or. Howard Of
course the matter will be investigated
after the usual tishy fashion represents
tons" will go to Spain and much ink viii
be shed. and then possibly pr Howard
will be pardoned in time to be brought
home in his coffin He is an old man. and
the climate Of Africa will end his troubles
in twelvemonth. A great Government
we have, truly, to extend a "protectorate"
over eight millions OF people.

boxes. The seat has been given to Nc
Clure; and it is a result well fitted to
make the cheeks of the President Jingle
with shame, if the President were capa-
BILE of such a feeling. 1t is at least hap
Ply augury for the country in this. that it
shows how effective, throughout the coun-
try, that union of Democrats and anti
Grant Republicans can be made for next
November, which has now been tried On
a smaller scale but with such a significant
result, in this local election in Philadel-
phia. If the corrupt party in power can
be thus overthrown, the National Demo
cratic Convention should see to it that the
candidate should be one on whom all an
ti-Grant men can unite.

Mexican Outrages on the Texas Border.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser says -
The President has requested Secretary
Fish to prepare a list of all the outraves
which have been committed since 1865 by
Mexicans who have crossed the Rio
Grande into Texas. The President in
tends to make the list the subject of a
special message to Congress He had in
tended until recently to deter any refer
ence to the subject until his next annual
message, but the breaking out of new
revolution in Mexico has increased the
amount OF lawlessness on the frontier to
such an extent that he deems the matter
worthy OF immediate attention. An ad-
ditional force OF cavalry has been sent to
the frontier to prevent the predatory bands
OF Mexicans from crossing the river to
make forage upon the Texans. 1t begins
to be whispered about that formal de-
mand upon the Mexican government to
promptly check and punish these outrages
will soon be made, and that if the demand
is not complied with, it is not improbable
that our government will order the troops
across the Rio Grande to pursue and cap
ture the bandits. The Texans, in present
ments made by grand .iuries in the border
counties, charge that the Mexican author
tiles are in full sympathy with the robbers,
and the recent appointment of Cortinas as
commander-in -chief OF the Mexican troops
on the Rio Grande is cited as iustifying
this charge. Cortinas having himself com
mitted numerous murders and robberies
In Texas, for which he now stands in
dicted."
