The LATESEss OF THE CorroN CEor
The very striking difference between the
receipts OF cotton last year and tho pre-
sent at New Orleans, is stated as follows
IN tho 1Imas. of the 30th August:
"Ihere havo been further receipts of G2
bales Of new crop this week, making the
total to date II bales. including one
from Texas, against 1,C4l bnles last
year, including 2l0 from Texas. The
crop accounts have boen much more
discouraging, and caused pretty gene-
raj reduction Of estimates"
The Montgomery (Ala.) Adreriiser, Of
Thursday, snys five bales Of the now
crop OF cotton were received in this city
yesterday. making seven, so far. By
this time last year, not less than 300 had
been received.

Honesty Not a Creature OF Salary.
Honesty is not q relative term. A
man is either honest or dishonest, and
there can be no neutral ground between;
the boundaries meet, and those who are
not on one, side are on the other. The
defences lately set up in justification Of
thoso who participated in the back pay
steal are almost entirely based on the
idea, that it is. necessary. in order to
preserve mans honesty. that he should
receive high pay. The mental disposi-
tion which runs in danger of yielding
TO q temptation offered, can hardly be
considered, in the strict sense of the
term, honest. The very essence of this
virtue coneists in the ability to resist
every advance on it's purity. and its de.
dance to the lures Of peouniary gain.
The argument. that it is necessary to
defend the integrity of public officer,
by giving him what he considers ade-
quate pay is faliacions A man of pro-
bity would remain so,were his income
higher or lower5To say that q repre-.
sentative OF thepeople is either faithful
or dishonest, according to the amount
of salary he receives, Is mischievous
doctrine, which has for long time Of
footed popular ideas of propriety in
public Office, and has given rise to the
opinion, that it places additional secu-
rity around those who are in positions
courting temptation. The Judge on the
bench who needs the stimulation to up.
zightness of an increased stipend, could
hardly be ono in whom people could
place confidence. The assumption i'm
plies the total absence of such virtue,
and would lead to the inference that the
late Senator Broderick was correct when
he said that money would buy every
man, even the President. Such pro-
position bears its refutation on its.face.
If some men think reasonable people
can be deceived by such specious logic,
we think time will show the egregious
mistake. The power to resist tempta-
tion is an internal will. and is not in the
least subservient to any outside neces-
sity. Clay. Calhoun. Benton and Web
ster. pertinently suggests the New Or
leans Picayune. although they enjoyed
Wash hington society and its extragagant
style of living, never conceived it in
dispensable to the preservation of their
moral well-being that the country should
save them from the dangers of bribery
by an augmentation OF their yearly sala.
ries. The whole doctrine is pernicious.
and until men appreciate that honesty is
honest for its own sake, and that policy
is not what leads men to resist prostitu-
ton III trusts, but it is the inherent yir-
tue itself. It is sad commentary on
on. times, when such reasons are given
for the advocacy Of measures 30 plainly
hostile to every canon OF propriety and
truth.

Il PACPER MILLIoSArRE.-J.P ?. Han.
best, Esq, of Philadelphia, entered the
profession of law nearly thirty years
ago, with the determination to accumu.
late largo fortune. He obtained his
wish. He died o few days since, leaving
an estate OF about S1,00O,OOO, very
handsome figure. for one-fourth OF
which the majority OF lawyers would be
willing to abandon the noble profession,
with it's briefs and dusty records, it's
calf-skin libraries aud the painful
"vigils of twenty years." It is not very
clear in what way the deceased million
aire attorney oontrived to extract en-
joyment from the use of his money.
he was a first class shyster, and chased
money as if it were the chief good in
the universe. His clients were of the
poorest and lowest class, and he never
touched case unless his fees were paid
in advance, or bond given him that
made them perfectly secure. He pur-
chased large amount of real estate,
but reserved for himself only ono room,
which was his bed chamber, dining
room and law Office. In certain suit
it happened that several prominent law
yers Of Philadelphia had to have con-
ference with Hsnbest at his room,
where they found him sitting at his
desk with mass OF papers before him, q
chicken pot-pie in basin on his lap,
from which he picked out the tit-bits
with his fingers and then deposited the
bones on the floor at his side along with
the scraps Of his previous meals. FL
nally the poor wretch was stricken with
paralysis in his limbs. His heart had
been paralyzed long before. All he
could now do was to lie in his bare and
carpetless room like bloated spider,
watching his prey, in the shape of an
occasional client. Not friend was by
him to administer to GIs wants nor con-
sole him. he was destitute Of the CON-
monest comforts Of tho sick room. He
tried to make will, leaving few small
bequests to his sisters and brother, and
then endeavored to purchase ticket to
Heaven by bequeathing the bulk of his
property to charitable institutions. As
be died few days afterward. the will
did not meet the requirements Of the
Pennsylvania law in regard to time,
| which renders null and void the public
bequests Of will executed within one
calendar month Of the decense of the
testator; these charitable gifts which he
intended become imperative, and the
entire estate will be divided among the
children of two decoased brothers, the
living brother and two sisters. His
wealth thus ut last Will go TO some Of
the very persons whom he hoped to cut
| off from It's benefits. SO ended the in
cessant. painful and cheerlcss tolls OF
thirty years. The result could not have
been moro worthless By any contrivance
OF human ingenuity.

Within the past two weeks ten steam
ers have landed $4,000 persons on our
shores. and all report many more COM
ing. Upon this. the knowing ones Of
New York base a calculation, setting
down that not less than 2s9,0 900 immi-
grants may ho confidently expected to
arrive before the summer of 1874, has
fairly set in. These will probably bring
with them in gold not less than $685.
100000. They will add to the produc-
tive force OF the country almost an
equal number of laborers, for oil for
eigners who come to US come to work.
A large per centage Of these immigrants
are Germans and Scandinavians, most
Of whom will seek homes in the West,
and many OF whom acouM come to the
South were the proper inducements
held out or the proper step taken to in-
form them with reference to the true
character of our section of the country.
1t is certainly we'll worth looking after.
