The New York Time. thus alludes
to the return of Liberals, to the Repub.
lican fold ~ Zone Of. the suggestive
features Of the recent Republican con-
vention in Maine was the presence Of
several delegates who last year we're
known as Liberals Their action
doubtless indicates the return of nearl y
all those Who were deceived into the
support Of Democracy, and although so
few in numbers that they are not of
political consequence, it is gratifying to
know that they have been visited with
repentance. When the time for politi.
cal action arrives in the other States,
a similar fact will no doubt be observed
and it will be found that the moribund
Democratic party has derived no bene.
fit from the fraud Of last year, but has
everywhere shruuk to its normal dimin.

Nothing can be more cruel and moth.

make mud-pies to leap fences, to row,
to fish, to climb trees, to chase butter
flies, to gather wild. flowers, to 1.-Two out
OF doors from morning until plight, and
to do all those things that, innocent and
healthy childhood delights in, in cheap,
strong clothes provided for the purpose.

THE COTTON REcE1prs.-The influx of cot
ton this season into all the ports is almost un-
paralleled in the history of that staple. The
receipts nearly double those of last year, and
largely exceed those of the great crop of 1869.
Making all due allowances for the uncommonly
favorable season, the unusual dryness, and the
rapid movement under good prices, it is obvi-
GUS that the estimates made last summer, un-
der the influence of drought panic, will have
to be revised and corrected, and the figures
placed higher.
Instead of three and quarter, it is now gen.
orally conceded that the crop will exceed three
and half millions. Such crop, when mid
ding cotton commands nineteen cents per
pound, ought to 80 far to resuscitate and
strengthen our great agriculture; ard in spite
of our many other drawbacks and disadvan-
tages, place our section on the high road to
prosperity and wealth. 1t is believed that un-
der system of cultivation, and with present
labor, cotton can be produced at twelve to ff-
teen cents per pound. This leaves margin Of
profit, andSopens a splendid prospect to the
cultiyators of this valuable product If our
planters will only reduce their expenses and
keep from borrowing, raise their own corn, and
get rid of their surplus land, they will soon be-
come the most independent portion of our
whole population.-N 0. Times.

COMPULSORY voT1NG.-The idea of legisla-
tive enactments both State and National, pro-
viding for compulsory voting, has been! !broached
at various periods for several years past, par
ticularIy in the North. A new impetus has
been given to it of late from the recent Presi-
Dental election returns, which disclose the fact
that hundreds of thousands of voters, inclu-
ding multitudes in the most popular States, ab-
most sacred right of American citizenship
The propriety Of calling upon Congress to pass
a law providing fines or imprisonment for those
who neglect to vote is now being more serious
ly agitated than would be imagined Speaking
for the future by the light of the past it is hard
to say what Congress may or may not do.
