In thia connection the view* of Ad miral Porter and General Sherman, whioh we pnbllah thia morning are of interact. The South ia vitally concerned in aa* pertaining what effect thia atruggla pray have on the price of her main staple, cot ton. That provisions will advance rapidly there seems to be no queation. They have quiekly aaoended la the initiative and immense quantities of grain and meet have already been a hipped from the porta of the United State* to foreign oountrie*. It will also add immanaaly to the ahipping interact* of this country, rad if the war be- oomaa general the American marine will he wondBfnlly enhanced by .the adoption of her flag by veeaelajof other lend*. The United State* will regain her former prestige ae a earlier of the world's com modities. The affeet on the South for a time will be depressing. She ha* no grain nor meat to export, but ia an importer. Her farmers pursue auoh a near-sighted oourra that they have nothing bnt ootton, and that cannot be eaten. The experience of ell European wars of any extent show that the prioe of ootton ia lowered. Stooka generally have followed in the same path, Of course the west* of large armies is iaealonlabla, bnt it ia not of that olaw of product in whioh ootton forma an ele ment. The clothing of European soldiers ia woolen. In times of revolution capital beeomra scary, and will not venture to even moderate proportion*.

Mraufaoturing flourisbee to ita full extent, end hegoe it staking! are to the larg est rapacity in the eerene day* of peaoe, when prosperity nigna universal,rad cap ital is expended in every direction. All these European con diets have tended to put down the prioe of ootton. There ia aemblenra to oor late revolntion. The qnotetiona aaoended to aa extraordinary rate beoraee the North and England oonld not get the ootton. Southerners wore ootton olothe* not from ohoioe, bnt aseemity, nag the staple waa the very oheepeat commodity to be found In the Confederacy. If the ooming straggle involves all Enropa wa fear that cotton will not pay for the ooat of prodnotion. Every nation is awaiting dsvslopmsuto with fearful ap prehensions.

Yesterday oorn edvanoed ten cents a bushel end meat a half a cent per pound on Monday. Dora not the prospect warn our farmers to make a surety of their bread? It is not yat too late. Ootton rannot be eaten by human being, nor fed to stock and what evails a man to have hundred, of bale, around him that will not pay the ooat of raising and besides have no oorn nor meat? That would present the Idea of extreme poverty amidst a anperfluent abundance. The St. Lotus Fin*.—Thu* far only thirteen peraons.are known to have per ished.

Opem 1-eMer to the Ooraraleeloh. Condensed by the Mobil* Register.] An open letter baa been addressed to the Commission by Messrs. Thus. J. Sommea, John A. Campbell and Henry C. Miller, whioh, it appears to us, should settle any doubts that may linger in the minds of tbafeatlaawn oomposing that body. The precedent alluded to by Mr. Evarta in his latter of anggeation ia brushed away at the outaet. The Uhode Island ease in 1842 ia totally different from that of Lonietana. The Dorr Con vention whioh extended the right of suf frage wu not authorised by any law of the existing Government. The dual governments of Bhode Island arose from dual constitutions, and the controversy involved the question whether the Dorr oonatitation and government had super seded the ancient charter, end the govern ment whose exiatsne* wu depeodent on it. Bnt in the use of Louisiana there are no rival fionstitutiona; both parties claim under the seme oonatitation to have been 4b1« ilmtui Under the Oonatitation of that State the returns of election In the ease of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor arq to be aealed up and transmitted by the proper returning officer to the Secretary of Blete, who to required to deliver them thus seeled to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, tor the purpose of having thorn examined and oonnted by the General Assembly. In the ease of the election of members of the General As sembly the returns must be made to the Secretary of State. The election law of 1872 wbioh provid ed for the Returning Board, whioh hu occasioned all the trouble in Louisian* by arresting the direst transmission of the returns of election, made np at the polls by the Oommimionen who actually held the eleotion and counted the votes depos ited in the ballot box, and diverting the return, from their constitutional ohannel to n tribunal whioh waa oreatod by a oor- ropt Legislature and Governor, to per petuate their power by manipulating tha returns, la n palpable violation of the Oonatttntion and is essentially inconsis tent with the right of the people to select their representativea. The letter demonstrates that the body, composed of persons indieeted on the fees of tha return* u Representatives and Senators, Is the only tribunal created by the Constitution to examine and oount the vote* for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, end hones it ia impossible that there should be two Governors, for the deotaion of this eonatitntional tribunal in favor of s partionler candidete ia conclu sive. The number of Bepresentatives and Senators returned aa elected on the face of the returns, unquestionably estab lished tbs predominance of the support ers of Ih* Nieholls Government in both branches of the General Assembly of the State, and it la peat doubt that Nieholls and Wilts were on the face of the returns duly eleoted Governor and Lientenent Governor. The Betnrning Board, having no con stitutional authority to ranvass these re turns, or to oheuge or otherwise manipu late them, it is manifest that the legiti mate legislative power and exeontive au thority of the State are vested in the Nioholla Government. It follow,, as e logioal sequence, that tbs court now recognized by the Nieholls legislative rad exeontive power, as the le gitimate Supreme Court, must be the de pository of the judioisl power of the State, It is impossible for the Nieholls Govern ment to recognise It court whioh repudi ates tha authority of tha Legislature to enaot, end of the Governor to exeonte lews. THE JTDTWBR AT gfTfOjr. smith, Edwards k Oa’e (Uv*rpool)01real*r.] Everything this year he* run oonnter to expectation, and in oohaeguenoe t dull end spiritless feeling prevails. At the opening of the year so sanguine was pub- llo feeling that perhaps n majority of the trade here end in Mehobeeter expected 8d. per pound to be retched by this Erne; in plaee of that the pries is practically fid. for middling nplaada, naff snob n re vulsion implies both n pecuniary lots and a great shook to confidence. We never re member to have seen n more unexpected development, and this applies to Man chester with even greater .fores than to Liverpool. Yarns have declined tolly 2d. per pound from the beet point of January, against Id. in ootton, consequently the margin to the spinner ia now vary poor. At such a time as thia the tenffeney U to « o into the extreme of despair, bat there re some hopeful feetwe* qbqnt the situ ation that should not be overlooked. The American crop Is running out fast er then waa expected n month or two ago, and it seems probable bow that 4j mil lions will not be reached—indeed many believe the total ooont will not exeeed 4,400,000. At the time the most sanguine view of the market prevailed, the favor ite estimate wee 41 millions, so the mod erate addition of 160,000 to 300,000 bales is of itself insufficient to aooount for to bean a fall in price. We think the drop In Eastern exohenge baa been n more weighty Inflnenee; and we venture to pn- diot that, as soon as a deeided upward torn show* itself, on entire change will oome over the situation. At present it is impossible to say how exohenge will go; it vaoillate* daily at about Is. 8|d. to Is. 9d. for six montha’s bills in Oalontta and Bombay. We do not think the Eastern market* ere over (applied with goods, end as soon as merchants see some sta bility in exchange business will reoom- h to only natural that the American Bocialut, in discussing Beecher’* West* •« trip, should say: “Whet'a the mean ing of thia almost national ovation ?

From the Cincinnati Commercial. ] A resident of Washington, who has been e oIom observer of the steeling in the name of improvements in that city, has reoently made a summery of the facts iu the rase, end submitted it to the Preei. dent. The following is his own oondensed statement of the matter submitted: “I mid that the Shepherd swindle here wa muoh worse than the Tweed swindle in New York, for the reason that Shepherd bad spent $60,000,000 on tnneitqry work—mainly seventy miles of rotten wood pavement—paying two or three times the value of the work; while Tweed, in New York, did not spend one-fourth of this relative sum comparing the popula tion and wealth of the two eities, while the work done by Tweed was always good and permanent, the swindle consisting in making tha work cost three or four time, ita aotual value. The Shep herd work wu very oostly and worse then worthless; the Tweed work wee good, but very oostly. But, worse then all, the Shepherd Bing stole *11 the money of the x>or emancipated sieves deposited in the ■’reedman’s Savings Bank against s rainy day end old age, while Tweed's Bibg would have scorned to steel money from poor emancipated sieves. And yet Tweed, e Democrat, by the not of Democrats, to gether with hia Bing, were brought to jratiee and mot to' prison, or forced to leave ths oountry; while, on the oontrary, Shepherd, a Republican, lives ins palace, and not on* of hie swindliag gang bee ever been brought to jratio*.

They show exohengee amounting to $7,660,. 610,398 against $7,077,203,094 same time lest year, e decrease of only 1.0 per cent. In the aggregates aa published New York gains $13,000,000, Boston $16,000,000, Louisville $14,000,000 and Kansas City $2,000,000; on the other haud, Philadel phia loses $108,000,000, Chioago $20,- 000,000, Cincinnati $16,000,000 and New Orleans $12,000,000. Theae changes, except at to Philadelphia, do not necessa rily imply a deoline in the volume of bus- inem done, aa they are accounted for by the decline in velum so apparent in cot ton and provision*. The New York Pub- lit, whioh must be regarded as one of th* best authorities in inch matters, com menting on the facts stated above, thinke “the aggregate movement to larger than it waa list year by at least 6 per cent, ea te quantities.” Taking the same eities for the month of March the clearings show a gain of 2 per oent. in values, end aa value* are muoh below last year, the gain in volnm* is very encouraging.

The present axoessive stock of ootton In Liverpool is entirely owing to the very rapid forwarding of the crop. Onr max imum stook a few years ago used to be reached in Jnly ; we wonld not be aura prised if it waa reaohed this year in April, certainly it will be reached mnoh earlier then in any previous year, end the amount of ootton to arrive here from June to November will be naturally amall. The present plethora of ootton will rapidly disappear in the antnmn, and wa folly expect that after July onr stock will run deoidediy lower then Inst year. There Is little doubt but that tfiff con sumption of ootton this season will be larger then the (apply, end we may resell Ootober with the lightest atooks held for gome years. In the faoe of thia it 1* difficult to avoid the conolralon that s decided improve ment will set in sooner or later. Whether we are now ripe for that improvement may be questioned. The arrahing losses on our present stook oause great financial weakness; business is not fairly started iu Manchester, and spinners ere not com pelled to bay from bsrennasa of stock; consequently it ia an open question whether the time for a bona fide turn has yet arrived, but we do not think it will be long deferred, and oiroumstanoea might occur whioh wonld entirely obange the faoe of the market. The political situation is still a oause of anxiety. Russian polioy is so vaoillatiag that it is impossible to tell from dsy to day whet steps she will take, bat at the moment it looks rather like e rapture with Turkey when the season suitable for warlike operations arrives. We do not think any worse consequences will follow from war itself than now arise from the fear of it. In fact w* iodine to think that soon after wet is declared we shall see a revival of trade. There is little ebanoe that any of the Great Powers will intervene, ends war' between Russia and Turkey oan hardly be of long duration. The barbarious mlsgovernment of Tdr- key, and her oynioal defienoe of European opinion, have left her entirely without friends, and many will look upon a war as the only possible remedy for evils that have beoome perfectly intolerable. A Pkeaemnea Explains*. A planter owning one thousand acres of fair average land in the healthy por tion of the ootton States ia n poor man. He oonld not not sell his land probably for more then $6,000. He looks to the North, and finds land ranging from $60 to $200 per aore. H> looks to Eaglanjl, Holland or Belgium, and finds it averag ing from $300 to $600 per sore. Why this difference? Iff the land In theee countries better than oars? Not by na ture—if it be better it to by the difference in treatment Is their climate better then onto? The acknowledged superiorly ia on onr side. Are the prjoes of their prodnots any better thon ours? On an avenge not so good. Are the taxes lighter then oars? If we are compelled to pay their tax, either at the North or in England, oar lend woa(d at onoe be sold for taxes. Have they val uable orops whioh they can raise end whioh we cannot nice? There is not e farm prod not In either Old England or New England whioh we eennot raise in equal .perfection ct the South. Is their labor cheaper than onra? Tha coat of labor at the North nearly doubles the oast of labor at tha South. In England labor to oheaper than with ra. Bnt tha differ ence to perhaps oompenmted by the poor and church rates and other exoeasi vs taxes paid by the English %gmers. U their climate to as good as that of the oountrie* referred to, If onr lands tons good u theirs, if onr products bring pe good prioes, if our taxes ore mnoh lighter, if we oan grow all tha oropa that they grow, if labor to cheaper with ra than .it to at the North, and if difference in taxes compensate for the cheapness of labor In England, why is it that their lend is so valuable and oars so valueless ? We shell find the map of use to na In 1 answering this question. If we take the map of the United Statea, end pat onr finger upon the Statea or parts of 8tal)ee in whioh lend sells at the highest prioe, we shall find that In those 8tates or parts of States the greatest attention to paid to the oultivation of the grasses and forage plants. If we open the map of Europe we shall find the same rale holds good. The oheapest lands of Earop* are those of Spain, where little attention is paid to the grasses. The value of land rises exactly in proportion to th* attention wbioh is given to them, in England and Holland reaehing sometimes for farming purposes to $1,000 per sere. Holland to almost a continuous meadow. This land veins culminates in Lombardy, where irrigated meadow lends rent for $00 to $100 per sere. Without exception, in Europe end America, where n large portion of land is in grass or forage erope, the prioe of land is high, reaching tha Agates above men tioned. On th* other hand, without, ex ception, wherever in either oontinent the f grosses do not receive this attention, ended estate is comparatively of low veins— O. W. Howard.
