CHATTANOOGA has two sprightly
dailies, the Herald, Radical, and the
Times, Democratic. We are glad
indeed, to see one of our Tennessee
towns show such a remarkable evil
dence of growth, enterprise and pros.
perity. The Times suspended, or died
several months ago, and comes out
now in a bran-new dress. We al.
ways did wonder how man who has
a beautiful wife, like KIRBY has,
could be content to print such a blur
red paper like the old Times; but
we iergive him everything, be-
cause Ihe has now one of the hand
somest papers printed in the South,
or any where else. And the editorial
management is equally as good. In
arece nt number the Times has cspi-
tai ar icle against the prevailing Gus
tom ofnewspaper quarrels. 1t con-
denim sand we heartily join it in
its cIondemnation-the practice of
news papers making personal assaults
upon contemporaries in political con.
troversies. BRowHLow commenced
the ignoble practice many years ago,
and the press of to-day can never at
tain itslegitimate power of excellence
until il is discountenanced and frown
ed upon as any other dishonorable
act. A paper that simply represents
one man is a miserable failure and
an imposit on upon the community
it should represent. No fact is more
forcibly taught by experience than
impersonality in newspapers. Jour-
nalism is a noble profession, and its
auacks are those whose highest ambi'
ton is TO get their names placed at
the head of the column, IS editor.

BELOW we give an extract from
our Congressional Representative
speech, made in explanation of his
vote in favor of removing the duty
from tea and coffee. Mr.. BIRD, OF
New Jersey, Democrat, had oppos-
ed putting those two articles on the
free list, not because he was pro.
tectionist, but that he believed it was
one of the electioneering tricks OF
the Radicals. In reply, Gen. WHIT
THoRNE said:
As said before, Mr.. Speaker,
am, by my political faith, by all the
political training which 1 have re.
ceived, against monopolies, and
stand here to-day ready to corporate
with every gentleman who may pro-
pose any measure that will take of
the burdens now resting upon the
taxpayer of the country. l am in
favor of every measure that will
tighten the burdens of the lsboring
men of this land ; and I think may
say to my friend from New jersey
that not only myself, but the greal
body of Democrats who voted with
me the other day in favor Of the pro-
position to put tea and coffee on the
free list, viii be found ready to CO.
operate with him in the direction ]
1 have just indicated.
But, sir, have found, in consider.
ing the best way of advancing the
interests of the poormen of this coun.
try, that our only hope Of success in
measuses for their relief lies in d.
viding if possible those who repre-.
sent these separate interests of the
country. For instance when the
people clearly see and feel that by
reason of the duty of iron they are
paying an enormous tax upon that
single commodity which enters al.
most every branch of industry and
every article of domestic use, which
tax for protection enriches the few
at the expense of tho many, then
that monopoly will be stricken
down.
1 repeat, that the great body OF
those who think as I do-the great
body of Democrats upon this side
will be found cooperating with the
gentleman in securing for the people
OF this country cheap blankets, cheap
calico, cheap alpaca. 1 do not care
SO much about soda and saleratus,
except 30 far as principle lie involv-
ed. 1 think that many poor men in
this country do not use articles; but
1 would cheaper every article en-
tering into general use or consump-
ton by the people. This is my po-
sition. Whether propositions of this
kind be put together in the aggre.
gate or presented singly, the gentle
man will find me voting according
to this principle.

The Next Cotton Crop.
New Orleans correspondent of the New York
WOrld.l


New Orleans c0rres Rop{sP of the New York
Business men in this great cotton
mart are discussing serious pro.
blem: What will be the effect of the
Presidential campaign on the next
cotton crop? The question is one OF
equal Importance at the North, for
upon the great staple depends our
ability to meet our commercial >obli-
cations to Europe and to regulate our
business at home. 1t is beyond doubt
that General GRANT will make extra.
ordinary efforts to carry the South
ern States. To this end species of
cajolery, every sensation dodge
known to political wire -pullers, win
be used to bring out and fasten the
negro vote. There will be mass con-
ventions, barbacues, torch-light pro-
cessions, protracted meetings, and all
that sort OF thing, to tickle the Afri-
eau ear and eye. Labor will there
fore be uncertain in its operations.
The negro, after all, is but child in
intellect. He is easily drawn away
by glitter and show. The excite.
ment and dissipation of a political
gathering, the flattely and fawning
of white men who want his vote, are
peculiarly attractive to him. He is
improvident. He has nc disposition
to work for more than q bare liveli-
hood. When the barbecue comes in
competition with the hoe, free liquor
at the hastings, with the toll in the
field, who doubts where our colored
brother will be found The hottest
part of the Presidential campaign
will come in the picking season, when
a day or an hour lost is SO much
lost to the cotton crop, and a loss
that cannot be retrieved. Is it not
possible therefore that next season
there may be very short crop in
consequence of the partial withdraw
al of the negroes from labor, and
may not the price for middiings once
more range in the thirties !? The
matter is worthy of thought in the
commercial world. 5 -
