JISTICE TO THE SOUTH.

The New York Tribune, commenting
on the action of the House on Thurs
day in restoring the names OF Southern
pensioners of the war of 1912, SAYS {:
{" The House was manly and generous,
" Yesterday, in restoring to their
- place on the pension rolls the South
:! ern survivors of the war of 1S12.-
- That they should have been stricken
" off that brief roll i'll moment of
's patriotic passion was natural enough,
" even though it may not have been
:. certain that they voluntarily sympa-
:. thized with the rebellion !; but it is
" too late now to discuss what peculiar
=. views these aged veterans of another
var had in 1862 Nobody will taunt
~ Messrs Butler, Bingham and VII
- lard with having courage to say now
L" for Southern men good words which
they would not have dared to say
=" during the late campaign. We are
- heartily glad that these gentlemen
can honestly declare there is no lon
ger any use in polishing mp the men,
ories Of the rebellion in order to keep
- them bright"
And the Baltimore Sun says g The
:. late decision of the House of Repre-
sentatiyee to restore the names of
" Southern soldiers of the was OF 1872
- and of their widows to the pension
{" roll is more important as indicative
{" of readiness to look over 1861 to
1912, than from any great benefits it
" will confer upon the number of per-
-s soas in the Southern States likely to
- be affected by this action of the
- House. 1t Is now full sixty years
- since the soldiers Of that period bore
il" arms in defence of the country, and
.: the number of survivors Iaust be
very small. But the money ccn,-
pensation to these survivors is the
- very smallest part of the matter. IL
- the action of the House may be re-
sarded as Indicating a returning
- sense Of justice a&nl fair play to the
;. Southern colnmu.4it 4e~. ii conveys a
" significance which is Of interest to

4 Commensurate Charity.

Zach time that Speaker Blaine has
come down on the floor from his Gle
waited chair to address the House he
has created sensation, and produced
n good deal of excitement One in
stance was when, more than year
ago, he called Gen. Butler to account
for alleged injustice done the Speaker,
and the other was when he demanded
an investigation into the charges made
against him in connection with the
Credit Mobiler scandal, which resulted
in the creation of the Poland Com
mittec, which Is now proceeding with
the investigation. Late Monday after
noon the Speaker walked deliberately
to the desk of Mr.. Dawes, the latter
gentleman being Ill the chair, and was
Immediately recognized and accorded
the floor. His manner was, as on
former similar occasions, very serious.
and his appearance on the floor was a
sufficient signal for q nOmentary stir,
and then all was quiet as could be, and
so continued until Mr. Blaine had con-
cludGd his remarks. An audible sigh
of relief was drawn by those present
when it was discovered that the pur-

ask for another investigation, but TO

A Fearful story of Poyert,

The New York Times relates the
following fearful story of poverty in
Brooklyn
a se4mstFess WIS arrested the other
day, in Brooklyn, for pawning clothing
which she had taken home to sew, and
upon her examination the following
evidence was elected {: She asserted
that she WAS employed by a Miss
Phillips, Of this city, who paid her II
cents for making four pair Of trowsefs,
90 cents for lual4ing twelve pair Of
drawers, and 25 cents tor making six
shirts. Because she did not finish the
trowsers as soon as she had agreed to,
Miss Phillips refused to pay her, and
she thereupon pawned them to keep
her family from starving. Here Is Il
case which ought to intereat those wo'
men who are continually crying ont
a9ainst the tyranny of men. 1t was
not man who exacted from this poor
seanstress such quantities Of work ri
such a preposterous price. 1t was a
woman who refused to pay her
the wretched pittance which she asked,
on the pretence that she had not fin
lshed her work sufficiently soon.

CAN COTTON IN GREAT IsKs=
TAIN.

The New York COn'nlercidt and fl
1za,,ciqf Chrantcfc says: The course of
the cotton market the last two YEARS
well illustrates the effect of price on
consumption. We refer to this point
now. as it may help our readers TO ap-
preciatc the force, or lack of force,
of the estimates for the coming year
in some of the Liverpool annual circu-
lars now appearing. In 1871, our
large crop year, English spinners took
weekly "a, 100 bales of American cot
ton; as, however, at the end of the year
they had according to Ott-Trumpler)
added to their stock nearly 100000
bales American, their actual value
could not have exceeded 80, 900 bales.
This wear the takings have been about
96. 900 bales American, and stock III
spinners' hands reduced about $4,000
bales, which would 1aalse the consump-
ton about %, 900 bales, OF falling Oft
in consumption al American OF 1000
bales per week. This result has been
brought about by rise i'll the price to
q point averaging this year 1O.66d.
for Middlings Orleans at Liverpool,
against S.77d., the average for the
previous year.
! The leading Liverpool circular OF
! JANUARY 1st, as a basis for its argu-
melt with regard to tie future, mis-
states-of course, unintentionally-the
| past. 1t says: 9 The actual consump-
ton of American cotton tits past year,
! (alloUing Tor reduttion Of :spinners'
stock1, hes been about oS, 900 bales per
week, and the year before "a, 800 bales
per week" Evidently this statement
is an oversight, for according TO it the
consumption is increased this year
above the takings by the amount OF
decrease in spinners' stock, but there
is an omission to decrease the takings
of 1871 by the amount which went into
spinners' stock that year. The actual
consumption would, therefore, with
this correction, average for the two
years only 10000 bales. as we have
given it above. Then, again, this same
writer gives the continental consnmp
ton OF American ut $50, 900 bales las
year, and increases it to $50, 900 bales
for this year.
According to Ott-Trumpler, the tota
takings of American for the Continen
(nis ports) for three years, have only
been 2, OPS, 900 bales, being an average
OF 576, 900 bales or for the last two
years of an average of 10000 bales
The past year the takings were onl,
sol 600 bales. Adding to these aver
ages for the two and three years
10000 bales, the amount used b,
Russia and other ports, not included
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1873-02-14
in his figures, and we have the average

IN MS ngureS, and we have the average
continental takings for the past three
years, 766, 900 bales. AS to the coming
year, unless priceshere are going down
to fifteen cents, as they did in 1870, the
supposition that the takings would
equal that years takings, when 50
large all amount went into stock, would
appear unreasonable
In discussing, then, this question of
future consumption in Europe, it
strikes us that the past and present
surroundings of the market cannot be
too closely scrutinized. A year of the
cheapest cotton since 1S60-61 certainly
cannot be our guide for an estimate.
Nor will the past three years furnish
us correct standard, as those years
cover period of far larger spinning
capacity than was ever before attained,
and during thirty of the thirty-six
months the activities of English ma
chinery were stimulated to the highest
ever known for a continuous twelve
month. This spindle capacity is still
increasing under contracts not COM
plete but are not the conditions ad-
verse to an increased, or even sus-
tanned employment of the spindles
Cotton is comparatively dear the mill
expenses enhanced ; profits have al
most or quite ceased on the production
IF hut no fol, b.,f fa,,
dency is continually toward finer yarns,
and a consumption of cotton per spin
die and the general features of the
trade, as reported, are dullness and
disaster in the place OF activity and
good returns.
Nothing but lower prices can restore
the desirable conditions-full activity
with profit which prevailed for about
two years prior to the midsummer of
1872. Either the production of cotton
goods and yarns must be shortened so
as to force an advance of prices by de-
ficiency of supply, or prices must fall
so far as TO enlarge the distribution of
those goods. When high prices follow
upon an excessive distribution of
goods among the consumers, who are
chiefly of the worlds poor people, the
alternative Of lower prices or restricted
markets is inevitable 1t has been
shown repeatedly that the consuming
world can for months deny itself the
purchase of high priced fabrics.
Lower prices of goods imply lower
prices of raw cotton, or disaster to the
manufacturing interests and stopping
work. Whether England shall in
crease or diminish her consumption of
cotton during 1873 is therefore a ques-
ton of price.
We abstain for the present from
making any exact estimate of the
probable consumption this year. The
figures for the past twelve months are
not all i'll yet, and, besides, very
short time will throw much light also
on the question of supply. What We
have said, however, would indicate
that, IL onr opinion, with cotton at ten
pence, the circular in question has
considerably over-cstimntcd European
consumption.

WHO SHALL 1T BE :,


are getting up quite "tempest in q
teapot over the relative claims OF
Judge Settle and Senator Pool for q
seat IN the Cabinet-a family quarrel
with which we have nothing to do.
We have seen no manifestations on
the part of President Grant that he
Will appoint either of them or .any
other man." Unless Treasurer Bout
well is elected United States Senator,
IN place of Vice-President Wilson, we
do not believe there will be change
IN the Cabinet, and if Mr. Boutwell's S
portfolio is to be given away, hardly
any Southern man will get it. At
least, no man in sympathy with
Southern commercial and agricultural
interests can hope to get it. We do
not know, however, if this exception
would exclude Pool. But Northern
capitalists are very suspicious, and will
hardly be willing to trust traitor.
If, however, one of the Southern
mentcd with position in the Cabinet,
we suppose Settle would do as we'll as
any of them. He has brains enough
to fill an unimportant position with
credit. He has some soul and feeling.
He is "good fellow" He is good
looking man, also, and will look we'll
Il
a festive occasion with great credit to
himself and his State.
John Pool has brains enough, and
that is all. His mind and body are
lily shaped. His appearance and
manners repulsive. His influence,
anywhere and everywhere, like his
soul, is small.
When John Pool took his seat in the
United States Senate he had advan-
tages which ought to have given him
an influence for good second to few
men in that body. Thank God he
obtained no position, for it would have
been used for the prostration and ruin
of his State He is a man of ability
He had occupied a prominent position
as one of the leaders of the old Whig
party of the State, when his party
friends and party opponents were
gentlemen of integrity and brains. He
went to the United States Senate when
the Republican party of the Union
desired good material in the South.
They found themselves cursed with
representatives in both branches of
Congress, without brains, without
character, without "local habi-
tations or names" 1t was to be
supposed that under these circum-
stances that so conspicuous an excep-
ton as John Pool would have
at once established reputation and
HGI an influence in the Senate, which
would have at least lifted him above
the worthless vagrants by whom he
was surrounded.
Not so however Not the equal Of
Abbott or Sawyer in influence, he oc-
cupied a position no better than the
negro Revels or the npstart Ames, or
the infan,o,ls Clayton. And he VIII
leave "a record no more worthy or use
full. Indeed, until Governor AlcorH
took his seat, it does not appear that amy
Southern Republican has won n posi-
ton in the Senate which has command
ed til" respect even of his party friends.
II President Grant will take the adj
<iec of :. .'rebel, who has as little
respect for his administration rs he
can possibly have for c1lr disloyalty,
we shouJdsay take Settle. We Civ" the
advice although We suspect that it will
bo as little haeded by Grant as it will
be tsesirad by Settle.
