Prophetic Butler.
rom the New York News]
The gift Of phrophecy has
allen on some of the Radical
congressman. Ben. Butler,
whose political PRESENCE is as
good as that of any other
man, announced in his speech |
the other day that his party |
would soon be in q minority |
in the House of Representa-
tives, and he should then ask
that every act of his life should
be investigated. In INDUCING
in this observation, Mr.. Butler
suggested three future possi~
bilities. First. that the next
House of Representatives will
be- Democratic; second, that
the Essex District in Massae
chusetts will return him to
Congress /; third, that a Demo
cratic investigation of his char
acter and actions would prove
him to be a patriot and 0 man
without guile. In the first
prediction the hero OF Dutch
Gap is undoubtedly right. His
party will be in a minority in
the next Congress. We are
also disposed to believe that he
is correct in his second predic>
ton. We have Away held that
Butler is a fair representa-
tive of the average morality and
political feeling of Massachu.

whelming popular in the Essex

people to understand how it is
that the production Of cotton
since the war has been so large
as it has if the negro labor sys-
tenn has been SO much demor>
allied as is generally repre-
scented. The answer to this is
very easily given. Before the
war nearly all the cotton was
made by negro labor. but since
its close thousands and thou
sands Of white men have gone
into the cotton fields and la
bored with such energy and
intelligence as to produce won-
derful results. The Memphis
Appeal expresses the belief
that the greater part of the
cotton shipped to that imports
ant outlet for the staple is now
raised by white labor, and it
further says that while the
culture Of cotton has been un-
remunerative in q large portion
Of the negro States, it has been
highly profitable aud has great
" expanded in the white
States. The Mobile Register
asserts that African labor has
excluded white labor from the
great cotton region of Alaba-
ma, and thereby destroyed the
production Of cotton upon
some of the richest lands OF
the South. The receipts OF
cotton at important points OF
shipment show that as a rule
the production has decreased
in those regions where the
planters depend upon the ne
groes almost exclusively fol
labor; but this falling off is
more than counterbalanced by
the increase which is the pro-
duct Of white labor. In Ten
nessee, Arkansas, Missouri
northern Texas, and the Indian
Territory a greatly increased
acreage has been devoted t.
the production of cotton, which
is mainly cultivated with white
labor. The Augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel says that in north
ern Georgia, along the line o
the Air Line Railroad, wher,
cotton is produced by whit,
labor, the yield is steadil.
increasing. During 1873 th,
receipts at Atlanta were 49,
30 bales. This year they wer'
54.889, or nearly double thos'
of the preceding year. In tn
