COTTON PROSPECTS.
licans can

The cotton crop for the year ending the 1st
inst. is 4,170,000 bales, which has been ex-
ceeded only three times in the history OF cot
ton culture in this country. This large crop
follows the large crop of 1928, which was
3930,OOO bales. The natural result is that
manufacturers are now provided with larger
stocks than usual and that prices are tending
downward. The aggregate amount in dollars
and cents realized by the planters from the
crop of 1894 has been considerably less than
the sum obtained for the crop of the preced-
ing year, which was 100000 bales smaller.
In spite of the circumstances we have men
toned, which will generally be considered
adverse to the interests of the planters, we
are still Of the opinion we expressed last year,
that the prospects of those engaged in the
cultivation and manufacture of cotton in the
United States were never better, taking o
broad view of the future. The heavy crops
of breadstuffs throughout the world and the
consequent low prices of food, insure for the
coming twelve months larger consumption
of cotton goods than has ever yet been
reached, The consumption will further be
stimulated by the low prices now ruling, cot
ton goods having reached lower value than
they have touched since 1861. We need not
dwell longer on these facts, since they will
be acknowledged by every one to be the most
powerful of stimulants to increased consump-
ton. Only little time is needed to bring
them into effective operation.
We observed year ago that the export
trade of the United States with China and
South America in cotton goods of our own
manufacture, which had obtained considerable
dimensions previous to 1861, would probably
soon be regained and extended. The official
returns of the Custom-house show that great
progress has been made in this direction, and
the exports of the current calendar year from
the ports of New-York and Boston are greater
for the first eight months than those for the
corresponding period of any preceding year
since $780,.
The quantity of raw cotton worked up in
the United States last year, after allowing
100000 bales for the increase of manufac-
turers' stocks, is 100000 bales, against
1900 900 bales the preceding year, and an
average of $4,000 bales for the two years
1859 and 1860. The European manufacturers
fully recognize the superiority of American
cotton over the East lIndan and other varie-
ties, and if our planters feel the pressure of
low prices they may find some solace in the
fact that their rivals suffer even more keenly
from the same cause. The truth is that
American cotton is steadily regaining from its
foreign competitors the supreme position it
occupied before the war. The only formid-
able obstacle to the permanent prosperity of
the planting interest is the misgovernment of
the Southern States. In Georgia, Texas,
North Carolina. and some other Statss this

THE PRESIDENTS VICTORY.

Gen. Grant has vanquished the people of
Louisiana again, He has telegraphed to his
generals and his admirals he has set the army
and navy in motion; and the lawful
Government of Louisiana surrenders
If there was any doubt before as
to the character of the usurpatlon
which rules the unhappy State by favor OF
the Presdent-any question whether the peo-
nile really acquesced in it-there can be none
now. The outrage stands out henceforth In
all its naked deformity, an unpar-
donable crime against popular sut-
frage and the sovereignty of State.
government which the people loathe and
despise was forced upon Louisiana by the
soldiers of the President. Left to themselves
for moment, the people threw it off and in
stalled the officers whom they had regu-
larly chosen at the polls. The deposed
intruders made no fight; they were as helpless
and cowardly as children in the presence OF
the indignant people; but covering behind
the shutters of the Custom-house they tele-
graphed to the President, "The people have
"put us out; this is your job; come you and
"put US back again."
Two years ago Grant yielded to the'bad
advice of his d1sreputable associates, and
installed Kellogg at New-Orleans, by fraud
and force, because he wanted the elec-
toral vote of the State, which majority
of the voters had given to the other
side That wicked deed has brought forth
q full crop of crimes. We have seen him dis
persing Legislature at the point of the bay
onet, expelling legitimate Government with
threats of martial law, and reversing the
course of justice by the scandalous sup
port of perjured court. His own
friends have exclaimed at the inquity
of these proceedings, and warned him
to desist. The hottest partisans of his
administration have denounced the wicked
usurpations Of Kellogg and Durell with an
indignation that does them credit. Seventeen
Republican Senators voted in February, 1878,
to declare the pretended election of Kel-
legg null and void, and to turn him
out of office. The President himself finally
admitted in a special message to Congress
that so many forgeries and frauds had been
discovered that he was not sure of Kell0ggs
title. An official investigation proved the
rascality of the whole transaction be-
yond any possibility of denial. But the
President would not halt. He must carry out
his original crime to its natural consequences,
and the inexorable logic of events has led
him to this crowning shame. For the first
time in the history of the United States the
soldiers of the Union are employed
to drive out legitimate Governor,
and place a miserable pretender in the State
House to shoot down in the streets the people
who may refuse to obey him. For this disgrace
c1a ha
which refused to act on the Louisiana report
and the Republican party which tacitly ap-
proved the wrong, are both TO blame; but it
is upon the President that the chief response
bIlity must est,-the President who began the
long course of oppression-the President who
could have stopped it at any moment If he had
chosen and could stop it nOw-the President
who is probably the only man in America not

of facts was all that was wanted. Mr.
Howe's 81 exposure adopted needless
tone of animosity toward the Commits

The demands upon American merchants,
which the Spanish Consul at Baltimore is
making, are unusual and exorbitant. If the
authorities in Cuba were to insist upon the
payment of several thousand dollars upon a
ships cargo, we should probably have small
means of redress. But the charge of forty
cents on each package of merchandise, which
the Consul makes, is very much like the effort
of a foreign Power to levy taxation In this
country. Such proceeding should not be
tolerated.

Another "polce outrage is recorded in our

spectacle working girls, who were arrested at
an early hour in the evening while on their
way home from work, carried to station
house, grossly insulted, refused permission 70
communicate with their friends respecting
their plight, thrown into cell, and brought
up before Justice the next morning. The
officer who effected the arrest may have done
so under mistake, but there seems to be no
excuse whatever for the outrageous proceed

other features of the case, it is clearly evidene
that any person may be subjected TO the Viies'

Mayor Hayemeyer's attack on ex-Sheriff
Kelly will attract more attention than some Oh
his previous utterances, because of its appar-
emily formidable array of figures. But the
matters that it refers to have some time
ago passed into history, and 1t Will not
probably be difficult to ascertain the
facts from very different point OF view.
However, the bombshell is exploded and its
smoke will fill the air till shot comes from
the other side. The Sheriff's office is undoubt-
edly very expensive piece of our political
machinery, and of no small profit to its in
cumbent. Anything which shall tend to lessen
its expense will be hailed with joy by taxpay-
ers. But the manifesto OF the Mayor mas
rather the aspect of politicians attack on an
opponent who has brought him into disgrace
than the effort OF public servant toward lnl-
tiating needed reform.

The stories of outrages inflicted upon ne
groes in various localities in the Southern
States are too numerous and too specific to
be disposed of as mere fictions invented for
political purposes. Whipping, shooting, kill
ing, with designated names and places, con-
stitute a kind of evidence that should not be
difficult of yerifcation. Even few ascer-
tained instances OF the sort must work incal-
culable injury to the South. For every negro
that is the victim Of outrage there is whole
district, perhaps an entire State, that suffers
in public estimation. immigration stops, credit
declines, improvement languishes,' wherever
the spirit of lawlessness is reputed to prevail.
Renorts like these furnish the enemies of
good government in the South with their
most efficient weapon.

Henry Yore of Portsmouth, Va, though he was
blessed with kind father, absurdly fell in love
with his step-mother, variety OF attachment
heretofore regarded as morally impossible So Yore
fled with the step-mother aforesaid to Richmond.
Old Yore did MT like it. He thought it contrary to
first principles His son might have hated bis
step-mother never so much, but carrying her OIL
in this way was absurd So thought the old gentle
man, and he was confirmed in his opinion by the
fact that the runaways bore away with them most
of his money-$9O0 in solid silver coin. So the be-
reayed parent sat down in sackcloth and ashes, and
refused to be comforted. Meanwhile the fugtives
are in Jail in Richmond awaiting his coming. We
consider this young man, dreadfulIy erroneous as
his conduct has been, in some sort philosophical
benefactor of mankind. He has added to our store
of knowledge. He has corrected grave misappre-
tensions He has shown that between the step
son and the step-mother no natural repugnance
exists, II he can love, others certainly in his posi-
t;on can tolerate.
