TEN PROSPEROUS STATES.

Under this caption the New York Sun OF
the twenty-ninth Of December INDUCES In a
very hopeful and encouraging survey Of the
condition and prospects Of the ten cotton
States. After showing that the people Of
these States have risen out OF the desolation
of unsuccessful war, through the most heroic
patience and endeavor, to plane OF prosper
ity more substantial and enduring than that
or any others and after rebuking the narrow
preiudices Of the North, which persist In see
Ing only evil In the South and ignoring evil
dences Of conspicuous good, the Sun goes on
to point out another important elem mt OF
prosperity which promises TO lift still higher
the fortunes OF the South. The Sun truly
Gays that In these States only can cotton be
proiitably cultivated. and that whereas
breadstuffs can bs produced everywhere,
cotton can he produced nowhere except In
the South. Furthermore, that as long az the
human race increases. and trade continues to
develope, there Is no danger or prospect OF
an over-production OF cotton. That staple
advances steadily In popular favor, and popu-
lar use. It is adapted to the wants Of the
rich as well as the poor, and Ia universal In
It's uses. And then with the control OF this
Indispensable staple, and occupying the
region In which II Is grown. there comes to
the South another agency OF profit. For,
says the Sun;
The machine recently invented BY Mr.. Olem-
ent Of Memphis must also be taken into con-
sidepatiun. This msoh Inc Ia 80 simple that the
stupid iabNr used IL the South can manage 1t
without difficulty. The tnveation enables tho
planter to spin. at small expense. the raw cot.

chimes. and 1t Is estimated, II Ii bs generally
introduced. tina IL will enable thu planter to net
as per cent more on hs cotton. willis the money
paid for spinning, instead OF being paid TO
English AMI Northern srinners, will be paid
to the iahorers OF the ) ruth. This machine of
Clements will probably create an industrial
ey)lutton In the cotton States, greater In ex-
tent even than was accom- piish ID by the saw
gin. patented by Ell Whitney In i7aa
This is the invention to which the DEMO-
Graf has repeatedly called the attention OF its
readers, urging upon them the Importance OF
inquiring into the subject and OF considering
the propriety of adopting It, Already nearly
every leading paper In the North has spoken
of the Clement Attachment, and all have tes-
tilted to its utility and value. Not only
among these witnesses who must OF necessity
regard 1t In the abstract, but among witnesses
nearer home, who consider 1t with all the
lively and eager vigilance OF deeply inter-
ested parties, has the Clement Attachment
b en- discussed and commended. Only two or
three days ago we published the full report
OF the Commissioner OF Agriculture
it was shown. upon the strength OF care
ful personal investigation. that the attach
ment almost doubled the value of cotton

Tilden denies having advised Gareelon how
to count out the Republicans In Maine, and
now comes Ben Butler with u similar denial.
Who 10 the guilty man2 The Philadelphia
Times discovers him In John Sherman. While
Sherman was Ia Maine, nomlnaiy canvasstng
that State for the Republicans, he threw out
the suggestion to the Democrats and the Re-
publcans which they have just carried out.
John, 1t is claimed, from his intercourse with
Mad Wells and Tom Anderson down here In
1870, knew more about the art OF counting out
than any man In the North. The OK PLANTATION
OF his course In Maine, the Times thinks, Is
easy enough. II effsctuaIly disposes OF
Blaine In the convention OF 1880. That "orator
OF the bloody shirt" will come to the eonven-
ton with his own State in the hands OF the
enemy. This, Sherman thinks, is enough to
rule Blaine out, and reduce the fight to one
between himself and Grant.

THE DAY AFTER.

It Is to be doubted whether any amount Of
remonstranee and objurgatlon will have the
effect of celebrating the time-honored Oh
servances of New Years Day. Reformers
may deelaim and propagandists strive, but
the cheering egg-nogg, the convivlat fire.
water and the meandering grape-iuice will
continue to hold their places In the affections
OF the people and upon the lunch tables OF
society. After all there is a vast amount Of
cant wasted on this subject. Nothing could
be more preposterous than TO claim that the
experiences Of New Year caller is likely to
incline him to dram-drlnking. We speak
from the eminenee OF thorough and abiding
memory when we assert that Ii there be
one thing more than another calculated
to give one gloomy views OF intuxi-
cation II Is the result OF one
good, healthy New Years booze. Not ell the
Murphys that ever harapgued since the be-
ginning Of the world, II they were boiled down
Into one burning ipveetive. could furnish half
the elUaupnce Of that nine story head. that
messy tongue, that parched throat and dizzy
stomach. or course the reformefs must be
allowed TO reform, and the missionaries TO
strive; but the mixed drunk OF one New
Years round will snatch more youth from a

gether. Let the victims of yesterdays battle
send In their experience.

The New York canal ring Is looking forward
to very happy and prosperous season next
year under the management OF Gov. Cornell.
The ring received some very heavy blows
under Tlden and Robinson, and, 1t WAS
thought, was fatally crushed. The election
of Cornell, however, has revived 1t. and 1t
proposes to get control OF the canals again
and work them as In the happy days Of old.
1t was well understood that Howard Soule,
candidate for State Engineer, was nominated
by the Republicans to secure the vote OF this
ring. The nomination was 30 distasteful
that the honester Republicans opposed Soule,
thus defeating him. The ring now proposes
that Gov. Cornell shall appoint Soule to the
important position Of Superintendent OF Pub
lie Works, and It Is thought that their claim
will be granted. This will give the ring q
complete control OF the canals again.

1t Is understood that Immediately after the
reassembling OF Congress the name OF Sem
ator Edmunds will be sent to the Senate for
the place on the Supreme Bench to b made
vacant by the resignation Of Justice Hunt
The latter has been DESTROYS Of resigning for
some time, but has been prevented from ling
80 because he has not yet served sufficient
length OF time to entitle him to the sajary Of
retired Judge. His health Is such that he
has been unable to attend to his duties for
some time. The business Of the court is very
much behind, and Judge Hunt has concluded
to resign at once, trusting that the bill now
before Congress, allowing him to retire In
eight instead Of ten years, will be passed.

A strange Christmas story Is that of John
simpson In Baltimore. Simpson was on his
death bed, In the last stages of consumption,
on Christmas day. He had been out Of work
for long time on account Of his sickness, and
his family was In a very necessitous condi-
ton. To make matters worse, his three chill
dren fell i'll at the same time with himself
from starvation. On Christmas he could en-
dure their suiferings no longer, rose from his
sick bed and stole some irons from neigh
bor, which he sold. buying medicine and food
Tor his children with the proceeds. It was
too late, however, and all the three children
have since died; the doctors say from expos
ure and want of food and medicine. Simpson
seems to have become completely broken
down by this, for he went TO the woman from
whom he had stolen the irons. confessed his
|crime and promised to make restitution. As
y sequel to the story. 1t should be stated that
HE woman refused to overlook the crime, In
eted upon prosecuting simpson, and has
NM now locked up In Jail, where there Is every
probability he will leave this cold world be-
fore the trial comes on.
