Editors w.. Preachers.

In q sermon in Brooklyn a few days
ago DR.. Talmagc discussed the moral
condition OF that city. He said during
the year the police made 26,S57 arrests,
of which over 90 900 were males, show
ing that men are more than three times
as bad as women. All occupations and
professions have helped to make mp this
list of crime. OF clergymen there were
two arrested, and of journalists one.
Whereupon the Port Gibson Rerale
asks:
If the first stated fact shows that
men are three times as bad as women,
don't the last statement show that
preachers are twice as bad as editors:
We don't mean to say that it does-but
don't it?

A Warming to PlRuters AbOul
BagginE.

Boston, March 80, 1878
The attention of planters, factors, and
all interested in the staple, is called to
the very poor quality of Flax Bagging,
filed with Shives, which has appeared
to some extent on the cottons sent us
this season, and it is advised that it's
use be discontinued, as il is sure to lead
to trouble in the future.
The attention of the English spinners
has been called to the probable growth
in the use of this bagging, if an early
remonstrance is not made, and we hope
they will join us next year in declining
to receive any cotton covered with the
shivey cloth. Our objections to it are
as follows:
Is. When the bales are stripped the
shives remain IN the cotton, and are SO
tenacious that they do not always get
knocked out in the picker, but are Oft
en- carried into the cards and cause
taouble.
I'd. Cotton is badly stained where
this bagging, when wet touch es it.
Sd. 1t is worth but one cent to enc
and a half cents a pound as waste,
while other bagging brings two and
one half to four cents, q serious matter
whan it costs purchasers fully ten cents
per pound.

Filming Himself

We take the following notice from
the Natchez Democrat, and publish il
for its rarity:
During the session of the Cilcuit
Court, yesterday, and while the jury
we're out, his Honor Judge North called
Judge Shields to the chair, and, taking
his stand before the court, waived an
arraignmeat, plead guilty as charged
in the indictment found by the last
grand jury, of violating the privilege
tax, in not having paid his privilege
tax as a practicing lawyer, before his
appointment rs Circuit Judge and
Chancellor of this District. Thereupon
the Court with due solemnity. ordered
the Clerk to enter a ''ine of $40 aud
costs, and to stand committed until fine
and costs + paid, against the offend
er. Judge North thus sets a good ex-
ample for any delinquent lawyers who
may be practieing in his Court, to emu
late.

Don't MAGE the sacrnGce.

The Bay st. Louis Herald thinks
that the interest of the Fifth District
demands that Col. r. Seal make a sac
rafice and go to Congress next fall. By
a stretch of fancy we partially catch the
idea of how much honor and prosper ity
would result to this district from Col.
Seals election to Congress. but the
proportions OF this honor and p%rosperi-
ty are not sufficiently great to induce
us to consent to his making a sacrafice
to secure them to his b%enighted' people.
We would rather have some man who
would mot haye to make a ~sacrafice,
and hence would not be SO likely to
consider the act of REPRESENT ng his
District in Congress a charity to his
constituents. M
Our friends on the Sea Coast seem to
be afflicted with n chronic eagerness to
get Col. Seal into Office, and it is a
matter of regret to us that the Legisla-
ture did not provide for an additional
Justice Of the Peace in his county and
thus create an Office which he could
have filed without making . sacrafice
and in which he could have exercised
his very transcendent abilities among
those by whom they are most appre-
ciated. If such an arrangement is not
made. the people of this district may
as we'll resign themselves to periodical
doses of r. derrick during The remain
der of his natural life. -Elctrds Cit
