COTTON.

FN1IE financial crisis now pressing
1 on all, forces us to appeal to our
ratrons. We believe tilat the crisis
will soon pass away, but in order to
have relief it is necessary that the
farmers send forward their produce,
for it is the Cotton which furnishes
the currency by which the wheels OF
business must be creased. We do
not ask you to sell your cotton at
sacrifice, but simply to place it In ott
hands for shipment, 80 thot we can
feel assured of having something
from which at the proper time We can
realize the amount Of your indebted
ness. We chcerfully agree to hold
such Cotton as you may send us for
any reasonable time that we may
agree upon. By this means you will
avoid all the dangers and exposurers
incident to it's being stored at home,
and arc in q position to take imme-
diato advantage of any favorable
change in price-you will have the
satisfaction to know that you have
done all in your power to meet your
obligations, and this without any sac
ri6cc on your part.
Should you prefer it, we are willing
to take Cotton at the highest market
price in settlement of accounts or Tor
goods.
Respectfully,
Wardlaw & Edwards.

THE New York Herald thus speaks
of Andrew johnson: "Ex- President
johnson on the Constitution is an old
story, and yet in his discourse on that
subject the other evening at Wash
ington there was much matter enti-
tied TO the thoughtful attention of the
American people. Granting that we
have outliVed that old-time absurdity
that there is degree of sacredness in
the ordinances OF the Constitution
which commands our respect when all
other arguments fail, aud granting
that Mr.. Johnson's presentideas were
those of generation which has passed
away, his general argument on tho
dangers which menace the liberties of
the people is none the less adapted to
the present time. We know, at all
events. that there is no danger in the
old-time faith and hopest patriotism

THE army estimates for the coming
year amount to $56, 800, 600. This is
an increase of S13, ,646. 900 over last
year. There is a cooIness in this
amounting to efrontery. Almost
every body Is satisfied that nearly the
entire army can be dispensed with,
with no detriment to the public SER
vice. Yet here we find the army
managers wanting nearly $4,000, 900
more than they did last year. $14, 900, :
000! Why, half a century ago that
was all the money required TO defray
the whole expenses OF the United
States Government, Why should
there be any more money spent on the
army this than there was last year
We are glad that the army officials or
War Department have made this ex-
traordinary demand. twill open the
eyes of the people to this most mon
strous exaction, and it viii set them to
thinking whether $5,000000 of the
S56, ,000,O90 are really necessary for
the operations of the army in time of
profound peace. The people, especi-
ally under the present financial panic,
demand economy in the public expen-
ditures, and it is through these army
appropriations that most of it can be
obtained. AS long as we maintain an
extraordinary standing army, costing
over $50, GOO, 600 per year-and all un-
necessary-we can do nothing in the
way of reform. A standing army is
the great obstacle, and must be re-
moved.

Thunders An Around the SKY.

The same news, says the st Paul
| Pioneer, comes from all quarters.
Every great labor interest is depressed
and suffering. In New Orleans and
throughout the South, there is no
money to buy sugar, rice, tobacco, or
cotton. In the iron regions of Lake
Superior and elsewhere, there ia none
to pay for labor; and this is true also
| of the copper mines. In the lumber
districts it is the same, and TO-, that
matter, diminished sales in the west
correspond with closed factories in
the East.
Where has the money gomez The
total volume shut. up somewhere, is
| about $a00.000,000. 1t has not been
retired by the government, nor paid
by the bankers. Nor is it in use to
exchange for real values. What, then,
is this miracle of paper dPouth, in the
presence of an ocean of created wealth
waiting use? The secret is not hard
of explanation. Confidence has been
shaken. Faith is dead. Men no long
er trust each other. Wealth itself is
regarded as insecurity. The bubble,
