Cotton Statement.

At latest dates middling upIands
cotton was quoted at Liverpool, on
at 6; last year, same date, at 6 GIG; in
in 1876 at 6, and in 1875 at I'd. The
visible supply tables showed 1859, 057
bales, against 1874, 854 bales in 1877;
1,065, 275 bales in 1876; 1898, 919 bales
in 1873. OF this visible supply 1, 001, :
957 bales were American, against $685.
604 bales in 1877; 1,216, $50 bales in
1876; 1887, $50 bales in 1875. These
figures indicate a decrease in the cotton
in sight of 1887 bales as compared
with the same date Of 1877; So, 318
bales as compared with 1876.

Gas Light Playing Out.

EDIsoN's GREAT ELECTRIC LIGHT in
vention has caused connection among
the gas manufacturers of the principal
cities of Europe and America. 1t is
certainly one of the most remarkable
inventions of this remarkable age of
science, and promises to supercede the
use of gas, to the infinite annoyance Of
monopolists. The Scientific American,
describing the underlying principle of this
Few system of lighting, says that it is
based on the well known fact that wire
may be heated by an electric current in
the same manner as wires are now heated
temporarily and used for instantaneously
lighting gas in large public halls. The
coil of platinum wire heretofore used
simply for lighting gas is to be made
itself the source of the new electric light,
the coil being made white hot or self
luminous by an electric current. 1t is
said that Mr.. Edison has invented a
simple device for preventing fusion of
the wire by checking the flow of the
current as the wire approaches the point
of fusion, and that he has fully succeed
ed in getting steady glow of pure light
The question of economy or relative cost
will have to be determined before Mr..
Edison's electric light can be pronounced
a dangerous rival to other methods of
making light. As to this we have only
the general estimate of the inventor that
it is cheaper than gas, but how much
cheaper he does not know.

Mr.. A. S. Hewitt, of New York, will
not be in Congress again. The Demo
cracts Of his District rejected him for a
denomination. His imbecility and
vacillation were shown in the Chair
manship of the National Execu-
tive Committee (Which he had the
sense to resign after his failure) and his
assumed leadership of the Tilden forces
in the House of Representatives pending
the electoral count. He not only voted
to continue the count by the Commission
after it had shown itself to be cheat,
which was worse than supporting the
original scheme, but he voted for the
Burchard and Hartridge resolutions
declaring the sanctity of fraud. The
Democracy must rid itself of incum-
brances like Hewitt before the next
Presidential count is made

GEN. S. NJ BARLOW, a prominent New
ork Republican, is quoted by the New
\ ork Tribune as declaring that nc does not
see anything in the cipher dispatches to
change the views he has always entertained
and expressed in pect to the election in
Florida. He has no doubt that Mr.. Tilden
was honestly and fairly elected in Florida,
and was sWindied out of his election by the
Returning Board" Gen. Barlow has no
doubt also that the Returning Board would
have given Mr.. Tilden the electoral vote if
his friends and seen fit to pay tor it.
This is all true. Even if the ciphers
are genuine, which we doubt, they do
not affect the real vote, nor change the
fact that the Presidency was
bought by Mr.. Hays and the Republican
managers, after their rejection by the
people; but they do prove that Mr..
Tilden's case was managed by fools, if
