We present, in another part of this issue,
fair report of DR.. McCosh's address before
the American Educational Association. That
portion which we PRINT is chiefly directed to
the question of the disposition of the ninety
millions of acres of public land yet undis-
posed of. 1t has been seriously proposed that
this vast body of land, or the proceeds OF Its
sale, be given as an endowment to the Agri-
cultural Colleges of the country. DR.. McCosh
has but an humble opinion Of the usefulness
of these institutions; and he advocates, rather,
the dedication of the avails of future sales OF
public lands to a system of general education.
The details of this plan are, of course, to be
worked out hereafter. AS for tho strength OF
DR.. McCosh's position, we have only to say
that he has made some of his comparisons in
most telling manner; and we shall be glad
to see how his points can be answered. Ot
course, it is not fair to expect immediate re-
turns from these young agricultural educational
institutions; but the charge Of undue favor
itism is not so easily met.

We are left entirely to conjecture respecting
the causes of the recent Ministerial changes
in Great Britain. In regard to one OF them
there can be but one motive. Mr.. Ayrton,
the Commissioner of Works and Public Build
ings, has resigned, and will be sue
ceeded by Mr.. Adam, one of the Liberal
whips in the House OF Commons. Mr'
Gladstone, who has never manifested any great
disposition to conciliate the laboring classes,
finds himself now, on the eve of general
election, sadly in need of their support. AS
one means of attaining this end he has sacri-
feed Mr. Ayrton, who has rendered himself
particularly obnoxious to these classes by his
arbitrary regulations restricting the right OF
assembling in the public parks. From the
present disposition of the Radicals there seems
little probability of their being caught by this
chaff. On the contrary, they will probably be
emboldened by the concession.

4 paragraph Ia contemporary, which
has a lcok gather suggestive Of twenty

tence: '.la -9ll
A very experienced cotton croker yester.
day offered considerable wager that the
crop would not exceed two and quarter
million bales
We know that Inexperienced cotton
brokey' very we'll. He has few bales,
which he holds for rise. Last year he
pretended to offer wager that the then
coming crop would not amount to two
and three quarters millions. We have
already received three and half, without
taking into account the amount taken for
consumption. We made last season fully
four millions of bales in the United
States. and there has been slight in
crease this year over last. Our readers may
be assured that 40 experienced cotton
broker in New Orleans will, risk any
money on the proposition that the ia
coming crop will be less than three mil
lions, while there are plenty who are
ready to risk something on its going
above four. If all the cotton that has
been planted were to mature and be
safely picked it would probably overrun
five millions in spite of the worms, the
rust, the drouth, excessive rains and
short crop writer's.

SCURRILTTY EXTRA,

We have lately been complimented by
the Bohemians of the New Orleans Herald
with quite q shower of scurrility.l The
first provocation was based upon certain
comments deemed appropriate to '.the
Pope and the Pretender." These were in
terpreted by these guardians Of public
morality to mean an attack upon religion.
The second shower has been provoked by
. series Of writings in which we have
shown that the dishonesty of public ohi-
GERS is no new thing in Louisiana. One

of the Herald should with ''thess fingers"
have manipulated votes by the thousand
as John S.idell did by the hundred. The
defender Of the domestic rascals' dis.
putes ''the wholesale sobberies of the

funds" This is easy enough to do, but we
ask where is the money bequeathed by
these benefactors.
We stated the other day ''that the estate
which at the death Of Mr.. McDonogh
amounted to SO, 900, and which should
be worth $4,000, 600 to-day, is represented
by S23, 900 in real estate and $1674 A in
cash., according to the statement made to
the City Council June %, 1872" With
respect to the other trust funds similar,
though not such az astounding waste, will
be found to have been perpetrated. There
should be some exception in regard to the
Touro fund, but a comparison of the
others at present with their original value
and interest, will show great dilapidation.
