What Becomes of Cotton.
Where does all the cotton goto? Last
year some of it went as follows:

all cotton goods, the United States %
per cent, the continental countries OF
Europe 80 per cent.
England exports one-half Of her manu-
features, the United States only 7 per
cent, which is not very fattering ex-
hibit for the enterprise and activity of
our manufacturers. 1t is, however, at
tributable to some extent to the almost
prohibitory tariff with which many of
the articles used in cotton manufacture
are weighed down.-NeO Orleans
Dispatch.

The Fifth Judge.

That Judge Davis will be excluded as
the possible fifth Judge on the commits
sion to count the electoral vote, If the pub
lie voice shall be allowed any weight in
the matter. is too evident to admit of a
doubt. His selection as an umpire in
case involving the election of President,
now that he has become chosen leader
and representative in the Senate of the
party to which Mr.. Tilden belongs, would
be too bare-faced an act even for the
supporters Of Tilden to urge. Suppose
Mr. Davis accepts the senatorship to which
he is elected-of which we do not believe
there is the least doubt-then if he were to
act as umpire between Tildcn and Hayes,
be would have an immense temptation to
cast his influence for Tiiden, because with
Tilden for President, Davis would control
all The federal patronage of Illinois, be-
sides securing for himself so much pres
tge and influence in the democratic party
because Of his making Tilden President
that he would be able to secure the demo-
cratic nomination for President ia 1880.
The monstrosity of making a man so sit
uated In relation to the controversy as Da-
Wis is an arbiter in the case must be APP
parent to anybody with grain of sense.
The remarks of leading papers all set
forth the improperly Of Davis being upon
the commission. The Tribune says: 1T
would be an insult to the moral sense OF
the country to select. as the professedly
impartial arbiter in the Presidential con-
test, . man who had just been chosen to
q high political Office by a partisan vote
If there are democratic members who
would propose such departure from the
proiessed object Of the bill, we take it for
granted that there will be no republican
member who will consent to 1t, or to any
appeal to chance of which that can be a
possible result" .. .r4st ..
A Washington correspondent of the

Maine Stands Erect.

The noblest impulses. the beldest and
truest instincts, the most generous enthu-
siasm of the Republicans of the State
respond af6rmatively to the action of the
Maine delegation in Congress against the
Compromise device. Serene as the air
OF her hills and firm as the blocks Of granite
from her quarries, with that stern New
England independence which is still a
reality among our people, our chosen men
at Washington have comprehendcd their
duties and refused TO yield to menace and
intimidation. and would not trample on
the Constitution and the usages of the best
days of the Republic. They have firmly
believed that they had no right to lower
the constitutional authority and the proud
prestige of the Nation because Of the au-
dacious yet powerless threats of a reckless
faction which becomes dangerous only in
the presence of weakness and pusillanimity.
Thus they stand as the true representa-
tives of that real New England. Of which
there were once living opponents on the
soil of Bunker Hill. Their action thus
carries with it a purpose and moral pow
err which are fair opponents of Maine Re-
publicanism in its earlier days
The Republican party of Maine as thus
represented is in striking contrast with
that of Massachusetts Judged by the
record just made. Twenty seven
years ago similar eclipse came
over the Old Confhonwea On
the 9Th of March that year FaneuiI Hall
echoed the voice of weakness, compro-
mise, and surrender on the vital question
of Human Rights. The great Webster
then went down, and the political conse-
quences to himself and others are among
the unseemly records of the past. To-day
the old home OF the Cradle of Liberty is
q synonym of vacillation, timidity, and
weakness on the great question of the con-
stitulional and just prerogative of the Ma
ton, and Faneuil Hall is voiced by Jimmy
Msdigan and Pat Collins.
True descendants of that sturdy old
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire stock
from whose loins Maine Republicans
sprung, they are the living representatives
Of New England 10 all that the genuine
heart and soul of New Englanders hold
dear-Human Liberty and the authority
oil the Nation unawed by threats, unse-
duced by the spirit of Compromise. So
long as Maine holds firmly to this type OF
Republicanism she will command respect
and influence In the great party whose in
tegrity and preservation are of such sig
nal importance 10 the National welfare.
