The SOuil,'s Hopeful Futnrc..
Boston HeraydIl

A matter of great interest to New
England, and vital importance TO the.
South, is the rapid increase of cotton
mills in the states south Of the Poto-.
mao. North Carolina has Fifty mills
and in all there are reported one hun
dred and eighty-three erected since the
war in the cotton growing states. This.
is the only opportunity OF the South.
Let principles OF economy be observed.
in state and municipal government
let capitalists be assured that they will
not be burdened by enormous taxes,
let law and. order prevail as in New
England, and there is no reason why
the region where cotton grows at the
factory door, where rivers turn the
mill wheels, and tho adjacent fields
furnish the operatives with tie staff of
life, cannot compete successfully witE,
the territory east Of the Hudson
which brings its cotton thousand
miles for manufacture. bnys. its fuel
FIVE hundred miles away, and trans
ports the food Of it's laborers half way
across the continent. The outlook in
the Southern states is hopeful. and
they must have great future beiora
them.

WASHINGTON. LETTER.
WAsHINGTdN, D. g.
June Is. '79. :

i. "a, IRE II - - - SCI. .H .
1t was finally settled yesterday that
the silver bill should go over until De.
cember, and that Senator Bayard's
resignation as chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee should not be &C.
cepted. The Senator had rendered
his resignation, as is known, because
it was proposed that the Senate should
withdraw the bill from his Committee
and act at once upon it. Senator Bay
ard is Of opinion, may state, that be.
fore d. .cember next the silver question
will in a great measure settle itself.
The recent and continuing advance in
the price Of silver bullion only con-
firms predictions long ago made by
him in discussing the relations Of the
metals. g., ~, .t. et...-a. ,5aAi
The Seuste wishes to adjourn 'cn' Che
24th and thinks it can. The Legisla-
tive bill goes to Mr.. Hayes to-day. and
will probably be signed ut once. There
is not much doubt that the Army bill,
also, when it reaches him, will have
his signature. Then there will be
nothing to dispute over but the Judi.
oial expenses" bill. That is not likely
to cause any delay, for. if the bill is
vetoed, the democratic majority will
at once do one of two things-it will
pass a modified bill or at once adjourn.
The 9th may be taken as the proba-
BILE day Of adjournment. .
Some twenty-five bills have been
passed and approved during this ses-
sion, out of two thousaDd five hundred
which have been presented.
Yesterday in the House Mr.. Nc
Lane spoke in favor of the bill to pro-
hibit assessments upon or contributions
by Federal Office holders tor political
purposes. There was decided Repub-
lican opposition. The Ola hundred
thousand office holders of the country,
all Republicans, will have to repeat
this Fall and next Fall the heavy con-
tributions of 1876. AS Mr.. MeLane
forcibly said, there is nothing more
corrupting than this making official
life depend upon the payment Of mon
ey.
Prof. Gamgee's plan for preventing
the importation of the yellow fever
has been adopted by the National
Board of Health" and he will at once
90 on with his preparations. Unless
he exhibits more energy than the
Board has the yellow fever may come
and go before his operations commence.
The Secretary Of State is receiving
many letters from various sections of
the country. urging him to take vari-
Gus courses in relation TO the projected
canal across the Isthmus. All the
letters agree that so important a work,
and one 10 which we have and must
ever have the greatest interest, should
not be left to the control Of foreign
governments. Mr.. Evarts is doubtless
alive to the necessities and proprieties
Of the case. DEN.

COMMENTING upon the sentence OF
Flynn. the slayer Of Berthards, to &" i'm.
EDrisonment for life." the Carson APpeoi
thus logically expresses its views:
I" II there ever was a man who ought
to have paid the penalty OF his crime
on the gallows, it is that man Flynn.
Before the commission OF the crime for
which he was just sentenced, he had IL
more years to serve in the State Prison
for various other crimes. He is now
about 40 years Of age; add II years to
i5;th"t would make him 62 years Of age
at the expiration of lis prior sentences
probably longer than he will live
Consequently the conclusion we nat
urally come to is that Flynn was not
punished at all for his Inst and most
henious ofrensc."
