Cotton Policy.

There are two requisites that Should
Tot le lost sight of in that portion OF
the Union known as the cotton bell
one in the cities, sibe other in the coun-
Try. Cities should aim to establish
cotton factories, with view to export
yarn and Goth instead of the raw ma
ierisl. To further this, they should
PEEK from Congress such modifca,
ton Of our tariff laws as will facilitate

We understand that two or three
of the old city officers are somewhat
disgruntled at the EXCHANGE on ac-
count of a communication which ap-
peared in its columns last week, in
which the writer criticized the officers
for allowing Sd much lawlessness on
election day. We really thought
that all of our readers were we'll
enough informed to know that editors
are never responsible for what CORES
pondents say. Fer the information
of all, we repeat, that editors are only
responsible for what they write or
publish as their own matter. The
writer of an article is the responsible
party; the newspaper is only the ve>
hicle to put it before the pnblic. A
person might as well get mad with the
Postoffice Department for carrying
the news through the mails. But
enough of this. We think the gen
tlemen had no right to get mad with
any one. They were public servants,
and as such every citizen has a right
TO criticize their official conduct-to
praise them if they do well, or to con-
demn them for neglect of duty. It's
a newspapers privilege and duty to
record with impartiality the necs, es>
pecislly in its own town and neighbor-
hood, and this the EXCHANGE will
continue TO do in the future as in the
past. Threats to stop the paper" as
We learn, have been made by one or
two, will not stop the paper" from
doing what we consider right. We
will stale that we are and have been
personally friendly with ali the gen
tlemen of the old Board.

m'nstion not TO permit Mr.. stinson, who
was elected Accountant by Council to fiji
the vacsncs caused by the expiration of the
term Of Mr.. Taylor, to have access to the
binds, monies, papers and books Of his

Mr.. Vincent regrets having given the i'm
prssslon that he was discourteous to the
Flnsnee Committse, or to Council, as 1t
was not his purpose to be so, but, rather
to pay thsm the utmest respect. He, also,

tsou to the action Of Council, further than
this, that. having, by law, all the responsi>
'ility, moral and pecuniary, for the honest

THE ssAEorODAL COUNT.

Mr.. ,Ednunds delivered in the Senate, on
Monday, what the New York Herald called
a"cogent speech" on his bill providing for
the countingof the votes for President and
yice-P President, and the decision of ques-
tions arising thereon The provisions OF
the bill rs explained by him, are that it
changes the time for the election from the
first Tuesday in November to the first
Tuesday in October; that it provides that
the electors shall meet on the second Mon
Day In January instead Of the Grst Wednes
Gay IN .Desember-giving longer time to
The State to dispose of any dispute as to
who had been chosen that It provides that
the vote shal be counted on the second
Monday of February and, in case Of two,
or more, sets that the one should be counted
which both Houses Of Congress should de-
clare to be the true one. .- .t
We very mach doubt If any measure short
of 40 amendment to the Constitution would
prove adequate TO remove the obscurisy
with which the Ingenuity Of politicians
euvsioped this subject at the last election.
Nor do we see tha great necessity for any
change; for, from the foundation, of the
Government to '76 n, there never was any
difficulty Of serious nature about this
matter. The Constitution was sufficiently
explicit and the practice of Congress- wei,
eaoueh defined to have successfully and
peacefully met and overcome any ordinary
dIficulty. But, in fact, the daring eaders
o. the Republican party did not intend that
the reins Of government should pass from
their hands and, with shame be 1t spoken,
they found enough Democrats, who, taking
counsel of their fears, were ready TO &C.
qaiesee In any measure that had the appear
ance Of fairness. II our memory does not
betray us, It 10 this same Mr.. Eduunds
w,o b entitled to the paternity of that
odious scheme by which the viii Of the
? ople was overthrow, under the forms OF
law, and for the hrst time in the history OF
this country the Presidency was acquired
by pslpabls fraud Mr.. Edmunds sue
ceeded then in making the great body of
the Democrats In Congress believe that
anarchy and civil war would be the eonse-
qusnce Of failure TO adopt his "compro-
mise measure" and the result was, that,
Mr., yTnaen and the country were defrsuded
Of their rights. For this reason We think
upon the principle that "a burnt child
breads fire." Democrats should be wary Of
the plausible Mr.. Edmunds.

an organization is not looked on kindly by
