GRANT AND robson.
How a Woman Regards a Third Term for
the old Regime.


Mrs. Mary Clemmer, the most racy
woman correspondent in Washington,
writing thence Of the third term
talk says:
Who that loves his country, can
hear with indifference the first certain
war cry Of the politician marshaling
his clans for his own possible personal
triumph for mere mercenary victory?
One mustsmile at the names that in
the first flush Of Republican triumph
are blazQled on the triumphal gates
as that Of tho possible President Of
1880, They are such very old ac-
quaintances, these names and their
owners. Personally and as public
men we are exceedingly well acquaint-
ed with these gentlemen and the
people have only TO be equally well
acquainted to make it impossible that
any one Of them shall ever be the
President Of tho United States. To
one perfectly conscious of what the
Grant administration was, and Of the
lingering odor of it left 10 the atmos-
phere, the little outory for Grant
which followed the elections was
perfectly natural sequence. Ever
since he left US, it has been an amus.
ing and yet a forlorn sight TO watch
the pilgrims who have come hither t.
pronounce his name with praise, anc
prayer, and ELUSIVE ~prophesy. Mer
who iattened on the treasury fol
years men who held place and ps.
ronage through his personal favor
men who love themselves supremely
who for the chanoe Of power ar,
ready TO forget honor and honesty
: these are the men who are vancouver.

NE COTroE MARKET.

OH -. .H.
During the past six weeks upwards
o 12O.OO0 bales of cotton have been
sold in this market. While this de-
notes great activity among those who
deal in the staple, yet an examination
of the direction it has been shipped
will show that the state Of trade and
action among the spinners Of the
Eastern States is anything but salts
factory or encouraging Barely 10000
bales Of the total sales have gone to
Eastern factories, nearly 1000 bales
were bought on speculation and the
remainder, over $1,000 bales, went
abroad chiefly via the Mississippi
river, the gulf, and the ocean route.
1t is stated that owing to the low
prices Of manufactured goods no
profits have been realized by Eastern
spinners for the past three years; also
that many factories have sustained
hsayy losses during that period, and
that they only keep up a sembssnce Of
activity by running On short time and
wifi reduced force. buying raw cot

aside from dullness in trade to ehecl
the spinners demand for cotton. On
brokers complain ofhigh. and in som
cases. discriminating freight tariffs
which have initiated largely agsins
the spinning interests, and which, i
some instances have driven them t
buy in other markets. The presen
season opened with the freight tart
on cotton to Boston at 40 per cent 0
about 2 % per bale. After the Ii
of November a sudden advance to 9
per cent. was made. Railroad me
soon found that cotton shipments to tn
East practically ceased, and recent
a new tariff at so cents to Boston an
IS cents to New York was agreedupo
as a more eQuable rate compared wit
the tariff from other points. As some
thing over 10000 bales Of cotton wer
purchased here for American spinner

all they have taken from here sine

that they see daylight ahead, and tbs
