WHERE WE CENT Err. AND s'CLEAR.

For the purpose of regulating the
foreign trade, and of collecting the
duties on imports the United States
is divided into a hundred or 80 Gus
toms districts, each with point desig-
mated for''entry" and clearance. All
goods coming into the country else
where, or indeed anywhere, and not
''entered," that is brought to the
notice of an officer of customs, come
in illegally and are said to be SNUG
gled- Every ship on the ocean must
have cleared" that is obtained from
an officer of customs q certificate
that her voyage is regular and legal,
or she is an offender against inter
national laws and liable to be sliced
as rover or a pirate.
The foreign commerce of the coun-
try is confined, chiefly, to the ten
ports of New York, Boston, New
Orleans, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
San Franisco, Galveston, Savannah,
Charleston and Norfolk; these cities
controlling more than ninety-two per
cent of it. For although there are be-
sides these, 40 customs districts on the
Atlantic coast; II on the Gulf coast,
6 on the Pacific coast; and % on the
Northern lakes, all of them together
have less than eight per cent. of
this enormous traffic. All are provided
with custom~houses, each with a
corps OF customs officers and fully
equipped, but at a number of them
the business done is less than the
expenses. They are kept up at an
actual cost to the government and
serve only to prevent smuggling.
The farmer encloses his field on every
side, although he expects to go
in and out at but one, two or three
points. If single gap be left down
the whole is exposed.
The relative commercial impor
lance of these ten ports will appear
from statement in detail of imports
and exports:

sonal organization for future uses.
The President, however, had tested
the temper of the country,
and felt that it was
altogether more safe and comforta-
BILE to put behind him the intense
exasperations in the state of New
York, which threaten to make it
Democratic next week. The same
gentleman who tod me there was a
GOODNESS between Conkling and
Arthur said last night: q do not see
how the Republicans cam carry the
State. The half breeds have become
aggressive in SO many districts, not
only in this city, but throughout the
interior; that there will be cutting
of names, running Of opposition
men, and total decentralization OF
our campaign finances that must
beat the ticket. We can collect no
tmoney. The custom-house will not
give US a cent. It takes o large
amount Of money and special effort
for the republicans to carry New
York.

In these figures, New York, it will
be seen, takes precedence of all the
rest of the country. She is our great
mart, the metropolis of American
commerce. Hence her peculiar char
acter; an aggregation of people, not
only from all parts of this country,
but from all the ends of the earth,
animated by common purpose, each
to get ahead of all the rest, to live
and not let live, to make the most in
the shortest time and at the lowest
cost, and then to squander it in the
ostentation of luxury; without pub
lie sentiment, without public spirit,
without patriotism; by the admis
sion of her best citizens (and there are
many such, better nowhere) the place
where Satan has his seat, the Testers
ing point at all corruption, develop
ing in the gambling of Wall street,
in the frauds and perjury of her GUS
tom-house, in the denominations of
her politics, in the mercenary admin
istration of her government and even
in the tone of what is called society.
She is the least American of all our
cities. Even her press sometimes
breathes an exotic air, and is the We
hicle of exotic thought.

THE BLESSING OF A SOUND CUR
RENCY.

There is one reflection in connec-
ton with the recent bank failure at
Newark, that is peculiarly gratifying.
JAY Cooke failed for smaller amount
in 1873, and the whole country was
thrown into agitation over it. The
banks everywhere suspended pay
ment and many went into liquidation.
Business firms collapsed and fnan-
cial ruin overwhelmed thousands.
But now, this immense defalcation
creates scarcely a ripple outside the
individuals who were so unfortunate
as to have their deposits in the i'll
fated and grossly mismanaged bank.
It affords a striking illustration Of
the advantages of stable currency.
Then, the value of our paper cur
rency was unsettled-it fuctuated
daily. Now, it is fixed. A Treasury
note, or q national bank note, fol
one dollar is worth one hundred
cents in silver or gold. Its value
cannot be affected, and consequently
there can be no such a thing as {
financial panic. Everything moves

The New Orleans Times Of Nov.
Sd says:
General Samuel Thomas, vice
president of the East Tennessee and
Georgia, f. J. Kimball, president of
the Shenandoah Valley and first vice
president of the Norfolk and West

yesterday morning. The gentlemen
were also accompanied by those we'll
known officials Major J. T. OBrien,
general superintendent, and J. r.
Ogden, general freight and passen-
ger agent Of the entire Cole system.
AS the lease by the Cole syndicate of
the Louisville and Nashville line
from Calera to New Orleans has been
confirmed by both roads, the gentle
men whose names are given visited
this city on a tour of observation,
and carefully noted the terminal
facilities which New Orleans pos
sesees. During the day various
points Of interest were visited, and
the gentlemen expressed themselves
as being we'll satisfied that New
Orleans had bright future before
her. The party left last evening via
the L. and n. Road for the East. 1t
is understood that the lease men,

COnkling's Relations With Arthur,

COnklings RELATIONS WIN Aftnufs
"Gath" in the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The question of ex-senator Conk-
ling's relation to President Arthur
has been much guessed at. 1 have
some information on that point which
is, 1 think, new and correct. When
1 was in Washington city two or
three weeks ago l met. group Of
New York city politicians who had
gone down there to secure the Presi-
dents influence for certain stalwsrt
senator who had adhered to
Conkling's cause at Albany SO
tenaciously that he was about
to lose his senatorship, the people
not admitting his course. His friends
went to Washington to see If the
president would not give them some
encouragement to run him neverthe-
less, and, perhaps, to back him up
with patronage. From one of these
gentlemen [ have learned that Mr..
Conkling, on the same day that they
called, had his final interview with
President Arthur. What Mr.. Conk-
ling asked the President to do my
informants do not know, but they
affirm that on that day a rupture was
made. Conkling lett the president
soured, came on from Washington
City, and asked the. clerk at the
Fifth avenue hotel not to register his
name, and staying that night at the
hotel, slipped away in the morning,
and has ever since remained ih Utica.
Here my informant stops, though l
might personally guess what Conk-
ling asked the. President to do. He
may have asked him to give distin-
guished positions to certain OF the
parties who conducted his cause at
Albany, and were about to be thrown
out by the people. He may have
asked the President to name sec
rotary of the treasury who would be
Mr.. Conkling's olte, ego. and would
handle the Treasury Department SO
as to keep solid Mr.. Conkling's psr-

When he gets a dollar he knows what
it is, and that it's value cannot be
affected by the failure of any other
man. People can see now the so

can see what benefit they have
gained and what evils they have es-
capped by disregarding the teachings
of political false prophets who taught
them the doctrine that an inflated

THE COTTON CROP.
Report of Condition in Several
States.

States.
New ORLEANS, November 5.-The
Democrat has received number of
special dispatches concerning the
condition of the cotton crop, Of
which the following is summary:
Alabama.-Frost has occurred and
the weather is fine and cool and good
for picking, which will soon be over
Arkansas.-The cotton crop in some
sections of the State is gathered but
not yet marketed, in consequence of
rain lately, but the rain has damaged
the crop very slightly, except to in
terfere with picking. The crop es~
innate is now smaller than it was a
month ago. The farmers are hold
ing back their Cotton for better
prices.
Florida--The weather is good Cor
picking, which is nearly finished.
Two-thirds of the crop has been
marketed.
Georgia.-The past week has been
favorable for gathering. The dry,
hot weather has caused the cotton TO
open unusually fast, and it is being
picked as fast as It opens. Very lit
tie of the crop has been marketed,
the planters being too busy. A
heavy frost occurred Oh Thursday,
but did no damage.
| Louisiana weather has been
rainy and very little field work has
been done. There has been no
change in the yield. Most of the
crop has been marketed and the bal
| ance is rapidly being shipped to the
market.
Mississippi.-The cotton has been
damaged somewhat of late by rain
but the weather now is fine. Frost
occurred on Friday morning. The
picking will be finished by December
if the weather continues as al
present.
Tennessee.-The weather during
the past week has been unfavorable
fer picking. The crop will be gath
cred by Nov. ODD. About three
eighths of the crop has been mar
| keted.
Texas-A heavy frost occurred OF
Thursday. The cotton crop shows
no change. The worms still con-
tinues. The yield is now calculated
at five eighths of crop. 80 pei
cent of the crop has been picked
and half marketed.

were hauled all the way from Balti
more in six-horse wagons and the
price for delivering them was six
dollars per hundred. It took usually,
forty days to make the trip with
these large covered wagons.
Merchants then sold goods On
twelve months time to farmers, who,
after killing his pork, would come in
and settle up. Very. little was lost
in those days in the Way Of bad
debts The farmers of the country
were especially honest, and while
they may not have been altogether
prompt, their integrity, as body,
was something remarkable. Selling
goods on twelve months time would
be an uncertain business now, but
the gentleman with whom we held
the conversation remarked that his
business never went on more smooth
~ or pleasantly than it did then.
Times have changed since then.
Instead of travelling on horseback, OF
on stage-eoaches, and taking two
weeks or more to make the journey,
it requires only about twenty-four
hours to go from Knoxville to Balti-
more. Instead of forty days to de-
liver bill of goods from that city in
Knoxville, or from New York, week
will suffice. We complain Of high
rates now, but if we had to pay six
dollars per hundred, we would com
plain much more. Instead of twelve
months time, all goods are now sold
for cash, OF only few days.
And there are other changes Then
Church street was the extreme north
ern limit of the business portion of
the town. Now what is done in that
locality is not drop in the bucket.
Our courthouse then was eonsid
cred a very respectable building.
Nowit is fit only for a habitation for
bats and beetles. Whites addition
was then q corn~feld. Now it is
dotted over with comfortable and
elegant residences. Then officer
Stacks, who was the terror of the
town boys and offenders generally,
did the police duty for the city
Now it takes a dozen or more police
men to keep US straight, and some>
times we ere not straight to boast of
at that.
| There are many pleasant remi-
niscences in the past history of our
ever conservative old city, some Of
them amusing and others instruc
tive. If some of our older citizens
could be prevailed upon to write a
series of papers detailing some OF
them they would be read with inter-
est.

HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED.

In conversation with a leading
business man of this city few days
ago, he spoke of the business in
Knoxville in years gone by. Then
our merchants made their purchases
principally at Baltimore. Occasion
ally, one of the more pretentions
would go as far as Philadelphia to

THERE was something somewhat
mysterious in the proceedings Of the
city council Friday night, as re-
ported in the papers. We are puz-
zled to understand it, Officer Ruck
ert arrested two men and locked
them up. He said they were drunk
and disorderly. The mayor dis.
charged them without trial and
said they were not drunk. He OK
planned that they were Germans,
didn't understand English and were
entitled to an interpreter. Whether
they didn't know how to get drunk
in English, or whether Officer Ruck
ert did not understand drunk in
German, and therefore ought to have
had it translated into English before
proceeding in the case, is what puz-
zles us. We conclude that a drunk
is a different sort of thing in differ
ent languages, and Alderman Mich
aels was probably, when he COM
planned at the arbitrary action of the
mayor, laboring under the impress
sion that a drunk is drunk the
world over.
