The promotion OF cotton-growing by
bull-hghts is certainly an enterprise
worthy the genius OF the New South"
Sunday exhibitions OF this kind may in
crease tho interest OF the civilized world
in the New Orleans Exposition, but we
confess our inability to perceive how the
exploits Of picadores and mdtGdores are to
stimulate the growth OF cotton. IL this
new feature OF agriculture shall prove
successful, we shall have less to say about
the backwardness OF the South. II bull
fights are so nourishing to cotton, the
wonder is that Spain is not greater cot
ton-produciug country, but perhaps the
Spanish intellect had not the inventive
capacity necessary to discover the con-
nsction and the relation OF cause and
effect between tho two ideas.

IN the appointment of Miller as Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, and
the consequent triumph of Randall,
a discrimination Cd the part of the
President to set himself against rev.
enue reform and the internal revenue
taxes. We hope that his fears may
be realized. There are two distinct
classes Of Democrats-the American
Democrat and the English Democrat /;
'he first believe in the protection of
ome industries, while the latter be.
evein sacrificing the interests of the
uerican manufacturer and the

fit Of the capitalist of Europe and his
pauper laborer. The two, now that
power has come to the Democracy,
are bound to fight. They cannot mix !;
they cannot harmonize; they are as
far apart as the old pro slavery Demo.
crat was from his anti.slavery brother,
and now that the responsibility of
shaping a policy cannet be shifted
lpon the Republicans, trial of
'rength is certain to ensue. The ap-
lintment Of Miller, from the tariff

The Public Health.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. The house
committee on public health decided that
by reason of the late stage of the session
and the crowded condition of the calen-
dar, it will be impossible to pass this ses-
sion the bill to protect the public health,
recently prepared by delegates from the
various state boards of health. The
committee, however decided to recon-
mend an appropriation of $250000 for
the national board of health, and $4,000
to be used under direction of the presi-
dent in preventing the spread of cholera,
should it appear in this country before
the next congress assemblies.
An Act of Justice.
A proposition favorably reported to the
senate will be offered as an amendment
to the consular and diplomatic appropri-
alton bill directing the payment of $4,375

to Russia, as one-fourth his years salary.
Death Of Mrs. Stanley Matthews.
Mrs. Mary Matthews, wife of Stanley

this morning. The funeral services will
be held at the residence Saturday fore
noon. The remains will then be taken
to Glendale, Ohio, and inferred in Spring
Grove cemetery.
The supreme court, as token of re-
spect to Judge Matthews and sympathy
with their associate, adjourned to Mon
day next.

Oklahoma TrOublet.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The adju-
tant general of the army, to-
day received a telegram from Brigadier
General Augur, commanding department
of the Missouri, announcing the number
of settlers on Oklahoma land which he
says is steadily increasing, having reached
nearly 400, and resistance to federal
authority is threatened. Secretary
Lincoln had conference with the
president on the subject this afternoon,
the result of which was that General
Augur was instructed to concentrate
more troops at the settlement and remove
the invaders from the territory in as
peaceable a manner as possible.
