The amount of cotton on hand being about
the same, the difference in price is to be ex-
planned. We do not believe that the condition
of the cotton fields of the United States affords
q sufficient reason for this diferende in price.
Perhaps the Post has not made due allow
ancs for the depressing effect of dull sales Of
cotton goods and the consequent apprehensions
of further decline in the price of the raw ma
terial. These matters are always taken into
account and made the most of BY spectators
as aids in the depression, of prices and the con-
struction of Corners" If American spinners
are deficient in orders for cotton goods the
price of the raw material naturally sympathizes
with the short demand The Post must find
the solution of its problem in its fayorite law

proportion to the price of other commodities.
1t costs to-day more to raise cotton than in
1860, but the price has risen only fourteen per
centum, while the price Of most other articles
Of trade has advanced from twenty-five to
thirty per eentum. The fact appears to be
that when American cotton can be bought for
less than nine pence a pound It is cheap, as is
shown BY the rapidity with which spinners and
dealers generally hasten to buy oil that is
offered when the price goes below that mark.
The present price of cotton is well-nigh un-
accountable from natural causes, as the fol-
lowing comparison OF the condition of the mar

CANDIDATES FOR ALBANY.

The nominations for Assemblymen from this
City are yet to be made, and it may possibly
be of benefit to call attention to the great
power welded by our representatives, and to
the importance of selecting better class of
men than those who have hitherto governed
us from Albany. 1t is to be observed, in the
first place. that all legislation relating to the
expenditure of money for boulevards, public
buildings, parks, docks, water works, &C.,
proceeds from the representatives of the City,
The country members concern themselves very
little about such matters and may always be
depended on to vote for what the representatives
from the City of their own political faith ask
them to support. In the second place, though
the City has some twenty-five or six Senators
and Assemblymen at Albany, most Of them
are looking out for their own interests, which
are not always identical with those of the
tax-paying community, including therein all
citizens who get their living honestly. But
even if they were all good men and true, those
who do not belong to the party in the ma
iority have no control over legislation.
During the last three years the Re-
publican party has had the Legislature. The
government of the City of New-YOrk
last Winter was vested in the six As
semblymen and one Senator who were the
only Administration Republicans so fortunate
as to be elected. Of these seven, four were
nobodies, the men of power and talent"
being James w. Booth, Bernard Biglin. and
Charles S. Spencer. At the back of these,
however, there was lobby made up of such
men as Commissioner George Van Mort,
Thomas Murphy, George Bliss, the Custom
house. Post-office. and Internal Revenue off,
GERS generally, and John !. Davenport
We state, what all our readers know to be
the fact that the only effective opposition
made during the last three years to the
schemes of these men has come from the pub
lie press. Now we are not willing to give the
name of reform to any and every exercise of
the governing power which falls short of the
yillainy of Tweed and Tom. Fields. Bliss,
Delafield Smith, Spencer, Murphy, Davenport,
and the rest of them, though perhaps not of
different species from Tweed, would have
need of more than his courage to equal his
exploits with the public In its present state Of

THE DRAMA.
FIFTH AVENUE THEATER.

This house was crowded on Saturday night,
and the assemblage with much satisfaction q neat
and merry medley OF dramatic features. Mr.. Days
adapted translation OF French triae given under the
name of "Ths Two Widows" proved q little tedious;
but It was commended by the sprghtly acting OF Mr.
George Clarke and Miss Fanny Davenport the eccentric
humor Of Mr.. Hardenburgh, and the prettiness and
steel polished sentiment OF Miss Sara Jewett. 1.-The
Two Widows" is the picture OF passage In cOurtshp-
itself nothing but taking sorcery from the sprighy
actor. t0lerably potential In dihusng q mid glow OF
merriment. Tableaux Illustrative Of Longfellow's
poem, "The Hanging Of the Crane" succeeded this.
The poem is commonplace. There is no imagination
in the Photographic deneaton Of the ordinary phases
OF human experience. sweet domestic sentiment Is
conveyed by the composition and its language Ia mus

rected the poem fuently, and the pictures well

With reference to this new piece. by the way, Mr..

DIX AND TILDEN.

When the nominations were made, we took
occasion to congratulate the people of this State
on the certainty that, in any event. they would
have good Governor. Since then we have
had the usual Overhauling of records, garblng
of speeches and miscOnstructiOn of acts, to
which the politicians of each party still think
it profitable to subject the candidate of their
opponents. At the end of it all, we see no
reason to abate our original satisfaction.
On national grounds it may turn out
specially desirable to elect or to defeat par
ticular candidate. But so far as the duties Of
the executive chair are concerned, the people
are sure to be well Off,-to get honest service.
economy, sound policy, decency and dignity
at Albany-whether Gen. Dix or Mr. Tilden
should be the next Governor of New-YOrk.
Mr.. Frederick A. Conkling has presented
pungent arraignment of Gen. Dix for various
acts of his public or business life, and
specially for his connection with the
Credit Mobilier. To this we are not aware
that any authoritative reply has been
made, and we are not clear that any
would be useful. SO far as they could
for that question at all, the people made up
their minds about it good while ago, con-
tinued generally to believe in Gov. Dix's hon
esty, and are not likely now to change. MIR.
John McKeOn presents this morning an in
dictment of Mr.. Tiden It, too, derives special
bitterness from the fact that its author is
an old party associate of the man he
arraigns. Mr.. Tilden's friends are prompt with
a comprehensive, and apparently complete
answer. 1t will be read with interest, but we
doubt if it is needed. Nobody is going
to be deceived about Mr.. Tilden's Ca
reer. He was not rebel. He sus-
tanned the war for the Union from the
outset, with voice and purse. He is not
railroad thief, or the tool of railroad corpora
tons. He was not Credit Mobllerist. He
is the ablest and most effective enemy of the
Ring. His integrity is unquestiOned and his
character stainless. People who have thought
of voting for him will not bo deferred by the
views of Silas Wright or Martin Van Buren.
We have small respect for the party organ
izations behind the two candidates. The peo-
p!e are dissatisfied with One, dhwiiiing
to trust the other, and desirous of 80
voting as neither to indOrse the National
Administration nor to revive the Bourbon
Democracy. But they are in no trouble about
Messrs. Dix and TIlden. They have given
their confidence to both, and will not be made
unhappy by the personal triumph of either.

men we have mentioned, provided places are

in power and they will give the legislators OF
Louisiana and South Carolina cause to shrink
from comparison with them as creators OF
debts for other people to pay.
We have thus very briefly sketched the
disease which has fastened on the vitals of
our City, and which threatens to destroy
either its credit or its trade, and possibly
both. 1t remains for our business mensinclud
ing the surviving members of the late Com
mittee of Seventy who are out OF Office, to
send to the Legislature men of standing in
the community. We vouch for it that if such
men are elected their views will have weight
with the country members. In no
other way that we can see can the
prodigal waste of the credit and resources of
the City be stopped For three years of So
called Reform" Legislatures and City Gov
ernments we have seen this extravaganza 60

ally, from the Battery to the Capitol, does not
rain down from Heaven. If they are satisfied
with the bills, let them continue to be repre-
sented at Albany by the same men who have
been doing their business hitherto, and who
intend to do it next Winter, and they Will
have more bills of the same Sort We warn
them in time.

OUR TRADE WITH CANADA.

The discovery has just been made that Our
exports to Canada have hitherto been incOr-
porated in the statistics of our foreign COM
merce to the amount of only three-fOurths of
the actual quantities and values. We have
read the explanation telegraphed from Wash
ington and we must say it strikes us as any
thing but satisfactory. The Canadian officials
report S43,2S9,173 of imports from the United
States for the fiscal year ended June 30 last,
while our Custom house officials report only
49,, ,565,627 of exports for the same period, an
omission of $l0,724,146 or very nearly one
fourth. The explanation is:
That large part Of our exports to those Provinces
crosses the border at Suspension Bridge, Y, st. Al
bans and Island Pond w. Gin cars" and 1t is impossi
BILE to obtain accounts of merchandise
red there being law to detan laud vehicles as there
is in the case OF vessels until tue nauests Of the
goes in detail are furnished.
And why is there no lawf Why has atten-
ton not been called to the incompleteness of
these returns befOrei Why cannot the Cana
dian officials and those of the United States
obtain the contents of these railroad cars at
the same time and placef Statistics are worse
than useless if they are as incomplete as those
of our exports to Canada now turn out to be.
This revelation is anything but credltable to
the "best civil service on the planet"
