In 1850 and 1860 the receipts OF cotton from
America constituted fOur-fifths of the British
Imports. In 1861 they reached only first year
of the war; per cent, in 1864 / u per cent, and
In 1867 they started up to 81 per cent, amount
ing In 1876 TO G2 per cent, while the proportion
of Indian cotton bad fallen to 1873 per cent.
The United States, besides defeating all
competitors in the amount Of their crop, have
maintained an answering excellence in their
cotton, although American seed and Amer
lean planters were introduced In India; their

Third. There is no evidence in the case to
prove that the issues Of notes by the Bank Of
Tennessee after May 6, 1861, were made for
the purpose Of aiding insurgents or III viola
tion Of the Constitution and laws of the
United States, and that consequently the con-

The judgment of the Supreme Court Of
Tennessee is, therefore, reversed and the
cause remanded for further proceedings in

the assumption that the governments of the
seeded States were lawful governments.
The Chief Justice also delivered dissenting
opinion.

POISONED WATERS.

From some cause as yet unexplained, the
waters from which Florida fishermen take
their fish are poisoned to such great extent
as to entirely stop the business of fishing.
The singular circumstance is thus described
by the Key West (Fla.) Key:
For over two months the fishermen have
been unable to get live fish to Havana; they
all die on reaching the putrid waters of the
bay, which has now extended over one hun.
dred and fifty miles into the Gulf of Mexico.
The smack George Storrs, Captain Reb AL
len attempted to run TO the westward in hopes
of escaping the deadly waters, and when fifty
miles west of Tortugas, in twenty-five faith
oms water, lost bis whole fare of fish in very
short time. He describes the poisoned water
to the south and west of him as far as he
could see. The largest fish, such as shark,
jew. fish and turtle, were floating around his
vessel He pointed his vessel eastward and
entered our port Oh Tuesday, almost Disguised.
On Saturday, the water had appeared near
the northwest lighthouse, with it's thousands
of dead fish, floating like tufts of cotton over
the sea. On Monday and Tuesday the water
was dotted with dead Portuguese men.of:war,
"a marine animal but not until Wednesday
did the dead fish appear in sight. The strata
of dark reddish water passed through our
island channels, carrying on its surface fish of
all kinds-many of them of the largest speci-
mems of sharks, Jewish, barracuda, grouper,
grunta, interspersed With 4 few kinds Of the

where the Squire had slept ten years, to put
her beside him; and I've nothing left of

The R1eHTs OF THE STArEs.-In the Su-
preme Court of the United States last week,
Justice Field delivered an opinion which will
attract general attention, involving as it does,
the status of the seeding States during the
war. The case came up on writ of error
from the Supreme Court of Tennessee. The
principal question involved is whether the
State of Tennessee is obliged to receive in
payment of taxes the now deprecated notes
of the Bank of Tennessee as it bound itself
to do by Section IL of the charter of that
bank in 1888; or whether it can repudiate
that contract as to notes issued after May 6,
1861, on the ground that the State Govern.
ment was then forcibly seized by insurgents
and its powers usurped. The case raises sev-
eral Federal questions of interest, In the
opinion delivered, it is held,
First. That the theory>that there can be

we have seen the lady take the workingman's 8
seat without the smiling "Thank you" she
would have bestowed upon the wearer of
gloves and white shirt, we have been convinced
that female politeness is not always first
class article, and that one may be the belle of
belledom without being genuine lady.

from plebian stock, to be deficient in learning
and in cash, to have neither the honors nor the
manners of courts, and yet to be one of Gods
own gentlemen. Of that man only who has

Mr.. BLAINE's RESOLUTIONS.

On the second day OF the session, caucuses
were held by both Democratic and Republi.
can members of the Senate to determine their
respective courses of action upon the Blaine
resolutions, submitted the previous day, which
provide for inquiry by the judiciary commit
tee concerning alleged violations of the right
of suffrage at the recent elections, and the
propriety of enactiDg additional legislation
for its more perfect security in all the States
of the Union. The Republicans decided to
pass the resolution for adoption, after amend
ing it so as to provide that investigation shall
be made by special committee, instead of
the committee on the judiciary.
1t was also determined in the Republican
caucus that resolution shall be offered short
ly, for discussion and action in the Senate,
declaring entire the validity of the constitu-
tional amendments and asserting the proprie-
ty of enforcing them by appropriate legisls.-
tion. Democratic Senators, with unanimity,
decided to take the position that the Blaine
resolutions should be amended so as to refer to
alleged violations of laws or abridgements of
the right of suffrage in both the Northern and
Southern States, instead of omitting reference
to any specific part of the country, and that
as thus amended they will vote for its adop-
ton. ... ...
The following are the resolutions as sub
mitted by Mr.. Blaine
Resolved, That the judiciary committee be
instructed to inquire and report to the Senate
whether, at the recent elections the constitu-
tional rights of American citizens were viola
ted in any of the States of the Union; wheth-
er the rig ght of suffrage of citizens Of the Uni
ted States, or any class of such citizens, was
denied or abridged by the action of the cleo.
ton officers of any State, in refusing to re-
ceive their votes, in failing to count them, or
in receiving and counting fraudulent ballots
in pursuance of a conspiracy to make the
lawful votes of such citizens Of no effect and
whether such citizens were prevented from ex-
ercising the elective franchise, or forced to use
it against their wishes by violence or threats,
or hostile demonstrations of armed or other
organizations, or by any other unlawful
means or practice.
Resolved, That the judiciary committee be
further instructed to inquire and report,
whether it is within the competency of Con-
gress to provide, by additional legislation, for
more perfect security of the right of suffrage
to citizens of the United States in all the
States of the Union.
Resolved, That in prosecuting these inqui.
ries the judiciary committee shall have the
right to send for persons and papers.
