PERHAPS the St. Adams Advertiser Is not
aware that the paragraphs it quotes side by
side, from the FREE Press, were published
ten gears apart. If it was aware ofthat fact
would it have been anything more thaD dc
cent journalism for it TO attach the proper
dates to the respective paragraphs? Per
haps the Adrutisr will see, if it tries, that
the fact that Mr.. Barlow received fair Re-
publican nomination for State Senator, in
IS, docs not gate prove that he received the
Republican nomination for Congress, this
year; nor does it follow from the circum-
stance that We then considered him square
Republican and gentleman Of high character,
that he is necessarily to be so regarded now.
Many men were good Republicans ten years
ago, who are rot such to-day and many
things have cone out in that period about
Mr.. Barlow to modify our former estimate OF
him. We should be very glad il we could
think as well of him now as We did ten
years ago, or ten months ago, or even ten
weeks ago.

COTTON.

In our last weekly review of the official
week OF the cotton market we quoted mid
ding IN New York at III 7-l6,; 1t remained
at the same figure at the end OF the week
and that has been the rate-with an interval
of three days at llSsc-ever since June 18Th.
New Orleans also remained unchanged at
lie, which it has quoted for nearly three
weeks; Liverpool quoted esd, an advance of
lad during the week; Memphis still quoted
the lie to which it declined on the twenty
sixth OF June. This statement shows no un-
changed market during the week, except in
Liverpool, where there has been an advance
to which there has been no response on this
side The favorable reports of the cotton ex-
changes are one reason OF this. 1t Is true
that mich wet weather has caused anxiety IN
some place., but the very hot, dry weather OF
the several past days is dong away with all
such feelings and restoring the expectation OF
an unusually early arrival of cotton In the
market in August end September. That ex-
pectation prevents tie strong statistical posi-
ton having the effect on prices it would have
otherwise The New York corr respondent of
the New Orleans PicdyUne writes upon this
subject: The cotton market lacks vim.
Damage from wet weather and worms con-
have lost their influence. Like as
with the grain crop, there Is be-
lief that there will be more cotton raised
this year than will be picked, and hence
the momentaTy bad accounts have no effect.
Even John Bull appears t. have dropped
them from his mind, as the market over there
has become dull and barely steady. Prices to-
day are lower than they were week ago
whereas, according to the much talked of
statistical position, they should have been
much better. A prominent broker remarked
this forenoon that cotton was weak on its
own weakness. " The New York World, of
Friday, says OF the market there: The high
est figures of the day were not sustained, and
the close was fat, under the continued favor
