your childhood, let the experience of
life, testify. We have seen many n

Settled.

A certain English lawyer was
noted for many years as having but
one case-a chancery suit. Yet he
was prosperous and happy. Years
rolled on and the lawyer grew old,
and having initiated his son into the
mysteries of chancery practice con-
cluded to withdraw from the active
duties of the profession and retire.
the son being less astute than the
father strightway, when he had got
the reins of power in his hands,
went zealously to work to settle up
the suit, which had been so long in
the hands OF his father; and having
succeeded. went joyously to his sire
with the news; but instead of receiv-
ing appreciation he received rsproach-
es. "What said the ancient at
torney, settled the case My God
my son you have ruined US On
that case I have lived for thirty five
years, and on that case I expected to
live the balance Of my days. But
: now that you have settled it, what
shall we do? The above will apply
to the Republican party. Its stock
and trade was the bloody shirt and
Southssn. agitatioa. IL pr0spsssa and
fattened on gore that was spilled, its
thieves cried rebellion to distract the
attention of the people while they
robbed and plundered the treasury.
But there comes o new hand into
power, and without consulting the
old heads, the case is suddenly set
tied, and the party left without cap
ital. For twenty years it has cried
over the outrages perpetrated on the
darkey, all the time, however, taking
care to keep in position to plunder
the white man, but Hayes has ended
that business, and now there is moth
ing left to cry about, nothing to dis
tract the people from Republican
fraud and villany, and therefore the
Democracy must win.-Old Ben
Wade sees the error; so does Blaine.

clare handsome dividend at the close
of the season.
Now, we see q great necessity; We
see that under certain conditions the
necessity may be supplied. Query :
Do these conditions obtain In fact? Or,
more explicitly, can there be secured
for COMPRISING sufficient number of
bales to justify the investment? do
not think-and others ripe in years and
experience agree with lne-that there
is any doubt at all about the matter.
The two towns of Trenton and Monroe
receive, think, about 4O, 900 bales, in
Guiding re-shipping cotton. The act
ual purchases, presume, will aggre-
gate 1900 and IL, 600 for Monroe and
Trenton respectively. Very nearly all
this cotton would finally be compressed
here, and although some of our lner-
chants should persist in shipping to
New Orleans, they would in the end
he forced to discontinue it, because it is
plain that he who ships to New Orleans
cannot compete in, the market with
those who sell here to resident brokers
ut an advance of say one-half cent
over net New Orleans figures. Then,
such facilities here for handling the
great staple would inevitably give us
such an advantage over other interior
markets, now our successful competi-
tors, that the great bulk of the .cotton
and hence the trade, would be diverted
from them, and would naturally flow
to these two points.
This subject admits of almost unend-
ing elaboration, and I may in Il future
issue of your paper take occasion to
discuss it in other aspects.
