A NEM TRADE OPENING

A NEW TRADE OPENING. Our manu-
fscturers Of cotton goods have brought
their business to such perfection thai they
are now selling cotton fabrics lower than
they have ever been sold in this country or
Europe. Calicoes Of q fair quality are now
sold at retail, in this place, at st cts. per
yard. The result 10 that before another
year our manufacturers will have con-
trolling influence over the foreign markets.
We are now shipping cotton goods TO Man
chester, the great cotton manufacturing
city of England. twenty-five hundred
bales have been ordered from Boston for
that city. Ii is true that our manufactu-
ries arc not making money at present, nor
is il our object to compete with England
in their own markets. But these facts
prove that we can make cotton fabrics
cheaper than they can be produced in any
other place on the globe, and that We shall
before many years, supply Esrope, Asia
and Africa with most of their cotton goods.
The above facts should forever shut up
the mouths of free traders. And they sue
ceeded in breaIing down the tariff, 40 they
desired, We should be dependant on Eng
land for our cotton goods, and send abroad
t~O dDlsrs for svsry one We now spend at
home. and our mechanics and laborers
would not be able TO earn svsH hall the

there is no doubt, silently, but none the less
surely. Whether they desire 1t or not, the
question will have TO be decided by the

HOW ACTORS LIVE AND DE-
There are, of the young men aud women

who have been and are crazy to get on tn,

are almost as poor as himself. There are
those, of course, who make immense SAL
aries. Edwin Booth, for instance, never
plays for less sthan $500 a night, and
Sothern, Charlotte Cushman. and dozen
others command quito as much. But you
can number this class on the fingers of
your two hands. These are the excep-
tions, just as Stewart and Clahin are among
merchants. The highest salary paid regu-
lar stock actors IN New York is 500 per
week for season of nine months. Out of
this sum the actor has to furnish his ward

A DEMOCRATIC EDITOR DENoUKCEs A
DEMOCRATIC GRAND JURY.-Our neigh
Dor OF the Democrat last week, comments
on the supplemental report OF the Grand
Jury, ard accuses them Of white washing
the tax sales Of uusested lands, and says
>'he will vouch for the truth in any sum he
10 able to command, if they will agree to
forfeit corresponding sum that the twelve
thousand reported havingbeen realized is not
correct" That may be good plan to get
out offs bad scrape BY blufing, bu. then it
does not alter the case any. Any reason
bic man, after investigating the case in the
Commissioners Office will be convinced
that the editor Of the Democrat was giving
circulation to q falsehood in his circular is
sued by himself and his man Friday
hr. Rietz. The Grand jury who made
the supplemental report last week, was
composed of a majority of Democrats with
Democratic foreman, and no one will
dare say that they are not honest men who
would refuse TO lend themselves to any
such low trickery and deception. a. the edi-
tor of the Democrat does TO make q politi-
cal point. Several Of the jury were men
who have, and now hold, very prominent
and responsible positions, and having no
interest on either side it would have been
suicidal for them 20 make a report partial
20 either party. They have undoubtedly
filed their mission, being under oath they
have submitted q report which they con-
scientiously believe 10 be correct. And as
for their competency to investigate the
whole affair, no one will doubt, but that
they were far better qualified than our
Beighbor or any of his Ring. As the re-
port does not meet the appreciation Of the
editor of the Democrat he very naturally
denounces il, and insults the whole Grand
Jury. Democrats aud Republicans. by
charging them with having evaded their
sworn duty, and purguring themselves, by
sabrniiting . report screening the guilty.

iDg has been one of vigor and economy in
the National administration. 1t is quite
q noticeable fact that decrease in expendi-
lures appears in all reports of the National
Department. Treasurer News official doc
ument, just given to the public, shows a
net decrease of expenditure Of 81, $50. 7O2 in
the last fiscal year. The figures are elo-
quent in denuncation of the partisan cries
that President Grants Administration is
the mos. extravagant that has directed the
Government. Expenditures have greatly
increased, it is true, but the Government
of the United States is not what it was fifty
years ago, period to which the opposition
ofto-day loves to point. Economy in every
department is now risidy insisted on. and
the large corps it was necessary to keep in
the various departments after the war, to
adjust matters, have been gradually de-
creased. The official figures point TO the
