shipping cotton Goods to England.

1t is said that some of the Eastern
cotton mills are about to ship an in
voice Of their hleached cotton goods to
England, with view to opening up
market for them. This idea was sug-
gested by the decline Of these goods in
this market, while the same reduction
has not occurred in Great Britain,
leaving n difference in favor Of our
goods that offers a handsome profit to
ship. The only obstacle is the intro
duetion of them to the English consul
mer, as the quality is claimed to be su-
periOr, while the price Is lower. II Is
expected that the experiment will be
successful, in which case more exten-
siye shipments are contemplated. IL
Is now true that cotton goods are lower
| in the United States than in any other
market in the world.-lN. o. Times.

For long time whipping Grim
inals was abandoned in England,
but about ten years ago, so preva-
lent had highway robbery, CARROT
ing and offenses against weak per-
sons, women, and belated passengers
generally, that Parliament enacted
a law, giving police magistrates the
discrcssion of furnishing such Of
tenders with stripes. Since then
there has been marked decrease
in that species of crime.
Substantially the same law has
recently been put in force in Canada,
it is said with tho best results. In
Delaware the whipping post is still
a State institution, and it is a well
known fact that professional
thieves give that little State a wide
berth, and there are fewer such Of
fenscs, punishable there, with whip
ping, such as burglary, sneak thiev-
ing, gorroting, and all species of
robbery, attended with violence,
committed in that State, according
to population, than any other in the
Union.
Whipping certainly has more ter
rors for q certain class Of offenders
than confinement in jails and peni-
tentiaries; and it is well worth con-
sidering whether a county whipping
post wouldn't be n better invest
mont than the large amounts now
paid TO board vagrant thieves in our
county jails, and State penitentia-
ries.

What the Centennial Ought TO Accom-
pIish.

pIish.
DIR. Holland, in an article with the
above title in Scribner for August,
writes as follows
A few weeks ago, Mr.. Jefferson
Davis, .eX-President of the eCOnfederacy,
was reported to have eXhorted an
audience to which lie was speaking to
be as loyal to the old flag of the Union
now as they were during the Mexican
war. If the South could know what
music there We're in these words to
Northern ears-how grateful we were
to their old chief for them-it would
appreciate the strength of our longing
for II complete restoration of the ma
tional feeling that existed when
Northern and Southern blood mingled
in common sacrifice on Mexican soil.
This national feeling, this national
pride. this brotherly sympathy must be
restored; and accursed be any
Northern or Southern man, whether
in power or out of power, whether
politician, theOrizer, carpet -bagger,
president-maker, or plunderer, who
puts OBJ stacles in the way OF such II
restoration. Men of the South, we
want YOU. Men of the South, we long
for the restoration of your peace and
your prosperity. We would see your
cities thriving, your homes happy,
your plantations teeming with plente-
GUS harvests, your schools overlooking,
your wisest statesmen leading you,
and all causes and all memories of dis
cord wiped out forever. You do not
believe this? Then you do not know
4, So In Sf
we. Help us, as loving and loyal Amer
ican citizens, to make our politicians
better. Only remember and believe
that there is nothing that the North
wants so much to-day, as your recogni-
ton of the fact that the old relations
between you and us are forever re-
stOred-that your hope, your pride.
your policy and your destiny are one
with ours. Our children will grow up
to despise our childishness, If we can
not do away with our personal hates
so far that in the cause of an estaD-
lished nationality we may join hands
under the old flag. To bring about this
reunion of the two sections of the
country in the old fellowship, should
be the leading object of the approach
ing Centennial A celebration of the
national birth, begun, carried on and
finished by section, would be mocke-
nv and a shame. The nations of the
world might well point at it the finger
of scorn. The money expended upon
it were better sunk in the sea, or de-
voted to repairing the waste places of
the war. Men of the South, it is for
you to say whether your magnanimity
Is equal to your valor-whether you
are as reasonable rs you are brave, and
whether, like your old chief, you ac-
cept the definite and irreyersible re-
suit of the war which makes you and
yours forever members of the great
American nation with us. Let us see
to it, North and South, that the Cen
tennial heals all the old wounds, rec
onciles all the old differences, and
furnishes the occasion for such re-
union of the great American national
ity, rs shall make our celebration an
expression of fraternal good will
among all sections and all States, and
cornerstone over which shall be
reared new temple to national free
dom, concord, peace, and prosperity.

Mr.. Charles Nordhof, in recent
letter to the New York Herald, hits
the nail on the head, when he says:
General manhood suffrage is und0ubt-
edly a danger to community where,
as in these States, the entire body of
Ignorance and poverty has been mass
Ell bv sdroit politicians upon one side.
The attempt to continue for even four
,ears longer such state of things us
General Grant has, by Federal force,
maintained in Louisiana, would either
cause a necessary and entirely justiii-
able revolt or totally destroy society.
There are scores of parishes and coun-
ties where the colored voters are to the
white as four, six, eight and even ten
to one, where, therefore, ignorant men,
without property, and with no self-re-
straint or sense of honor in pecuniary
trust, would continue to rule absolute
ly: TO levy taxes which others must
pay; to elect judges and fiduciary Off
GERS out of their own number, to be the
tools of the least scrupulous and the
most greedy wretches in the commu-
nifty. There are to-day scores of par
ishes and counties in Louisiana, Ala
bama and Mississippi where the voice
of the people is not the voice of God
but the voice of the worst thief in the
community.-[Shreveport Times.

IMPOSING AND SOLEMN SERVICES AT ST..
BRDoET's CHURCH
The funeral OF the Rev. Father Corr took place
yesterday afternoon from ST. Broget's church. and
was very largely attended. The deceased priest
was hardly twenty-four years old. In consequence
of bis delicate health he had never been on q
mission or been able to celebrate mass or perform
the arduous duties OF q priest assigned to q city
parish. The funeral was peculiarly touching, on
account OF the youth OF the clergyman. He was
mournec by the whole parish especially by the
youthful portion, by whom he was specially be-
loved. ne having been born and reared in the
nelRhbornOod.
AZ nall-past ten O'Clock the services began, the
Introductory being the chanting OF the once Tor
the dead, q most solemn ceremony. There were
over sixty priests seated around the altar. most
OF them having Ueen the early friends o, Father
Corr, and several hundreds oil the graduates Of the
Christian Brothers schools were In tho
immediate vicinity OF the sanctuary sur
owing to the kindness oil the Rev. Father Lynch,

Tie weekly meeting OF the Young Mems woman
Suffrage League was held last evening at Cooper
Institute. Mr.. william Hanson deive ed an ad-
dress upon the "Poliucal and Social Equality OF
the sexes" In the course OF his remarks the lee
turer said that the only way to get to a proper
solution OF the subject OF political equality IL TO

ture. Every woman has right to util-
ize her physical and Intellectual capacl-
ties to the utmost. No man can say
to her, .'Thus far shall you go and no lurther.h
As far as her capacity extends so lar she has q
right to advance. Many men cay that women
should not enter the upit or the legislature or
the nails OF Congress. IL Is simply question
wnetner they possess the needed capacity Tor
these pursuits. Women DO lOssess TINS capacity,
and therefore thew nave d right TO enter In the

able decentralization and disorder in their Jursdic-

themselves into their chamber and cut Off all To-
tercourse with the outside word. Yesterday they
locked themselves IN ABOUT ten O'Clock with their
secretary, Mr.. White, and would permit no mes
sage from the busy world without to be sent In.
