Cotton Circular, in which they allowed
beyond ronsonablo doubt that the tnaun-

the utmost confidence that our planter®
will do ihrir very host to raiao a large
crop, and only fear that advoreo seasons
may curtail it! This is exceedingly cool,
but we cannot deny that they have good
roaftona Air such an assurance. It seem®
tiirtt they ho well understand the South

with hlinduens to our own interests. —
Our ciop of tl.iH year, they soy, “must
be both large and early" to HUpply the
inatiufACturera' demand. We know that
it can hardly l»o “early," but abould it be
largo, backwardness will not enable
planters to realize high prinoa on that
scorn. Accepting uu correct tbo menu-
im-turors’ up uranco that our plantera will
“»hi their utmost to furnish a largo crop,"
it would r.emi that the only h<>|>e of con

for it a good price is in the Providential

THK KXTRTOIO* BILL.
We remarked, the other day, upon the
evident design of the bill now before
Congress to extend to the eloee of the
next session the time within which the
President may suspend the writ of habeas
rorjyvt and otherwise act the part of mili
tary dictator within tho “States lately iu
insurrection." Advices from Washington
<®y that the bill will moet probably pase
tbo Senate, but that its passage by the
I f on so is very doubtful. In view of the
possibility of its defeat in tbo Houno,
another Hadicul expedient lo meet the
emergency is already being discussed
It is for Congress to take a recess (instead
<>f adjourning the session) until the 3<Hh
of November next, so as to extend this
session, and with it the President’s power
of suspetiHion, Ac., until after the Presi
dential election. It may be supposed that
if the opiionents of the extension bill
have the strength to defeat it in the
House, they can by the same vote prevent
this scheme of prolonging the sosaioii by
lakiug a recess. Hut it should be borne
in mind that the President is, by tbo
Constitution, empowered to “adjourn
Congress to such time as he insy think

Accounts published elsewhere show
that the Mormons, feeling relieved by a
late decision of the United Htatee, are
again becoming outrageous and defiant.
Tho deeision to which we allude—though
not rendered upon one of the recent cases
of criminal prosecution of Mormons—-
goes to the extent of pronouncing the il
legality of those proceedings. Tho case
carried up was taken from the Knpreme
Court of the Territory of Utuli, and it Lad
been tried iu that Territory before a jury
•ummoued by the United States Marshal.
The Supremo Conrt of the Unitod States
decided, about a week ago, that though
the Court in Utah which tried tho case
was a court created by the acts of Con
gress, it was not properly a conrt of the
United States, hut a Territorial Court of
Utah; therefore the jury abould have
been summoned by T erritorial officers and
in accordance with Territorial laws. The
Uuited States Marshal made out the jury
lists in tho late prosecutious of the Mor
mons, and it is only by preventing the se
lection or summoning of jurors by Torri-
torial oflicoru that tho Federal authorities
hopo to convict Mormons of the crimes

clare that the administration moat carry
them through the fight. ‘The State eleo-

“comes a month before too Presidential

This movomeut, in connection with the

ports further action in the ruattnr of the
tight between Fay uud Head—the one
Hlrivittg to retain unit the other to rognin

rightfully entitled. Gov. lleod Hiibmitted
Die «pionlion in dispute to thu Supremo
Court, locking the opinion of the JiiHtmes
whether the adjournment of tho Iligl)
Court of Impeachment, without trying
him, reinatAtes him in the Gubernatorial
«ifil#*e. | According to the Constitution of
Florida, an officer of the State is huh
pended from his official functions while a
trial f#ir hia impeaohmnnt is pending, and
the (piestiou is whether the trial in pend
ing wliilo the Legislature in not iu
Hioii, and utter it adjourned without try
ing tho case. J it was thought at Tails-
hnsiieo that tlio Suproine Court would
HUHtaiu Hood's claims, aud acting Gover
nor Fay, influenced by tide apprehension,
on tho IHil» inst. issued a proclamation
culling the Legislature together in extra
NUHsion uu the 2‘Jd inst. Tuesday, tho
2iUI inst., is the day appointed by the Su
premo Court for hearing aud acting on
Heed's application; so it is evidont that
Fay wants to get the Legislature together
in time to “head off" the Supreme Court,
by forbidding or obstructing its aeliou
on the ease. It is certain that ho oannot
got all or nearly all of tho members of
tho Legislature togother within fivo days
offer call, and tho first important ques
tion now is whether ho can aHseinble a
majority on the 22d. Tho second ques
tion is, will a majority of thoue assem
bled sido with him or with Hood. How
ever that may he, it is plain that intriguo,
violence or usurpation, not constitutional
law, will decide which of tho carpet-bag
gers in to rule Florida after the 2;W1.
The Suvanna) .tapers have reports that
the Unned Hiatus Commissioner at Tails-
bimaoo had issued warrants for the arrest
of Gov. Heed aud Hecrotary Gibbs. Hut
these reporta appear to lack confirmation,
or anticipated the facts. A more proba-
Htulouicnt Moeius to be that both parties
had made application to the Federal au
thorities for iutervoution. Wo are una

THE “UNDER Duo" oN Top AGAIN !
Salt Lake, April 16, 1872.—The decia-
ion of tho Uuited Status Supremo Court
has croatod an intense excitement in the
territory. Tho Gentiles feel that now
they must roly on their own strong anus
to protect thumselvoH, since tho judicial
author dies at Washington have stripped
them of all protectson by placing tlio Ter
ritorial Courts in the hutnl-4 of tho Mor
mons. The Mormons are tremendously
elated and arrogant. They claim that tho
liord is on their side, und that Zion is ris
ing aa the Uuitod States are going to tho
had.
The effort is already scon. To-day the
Mormon police arrested Joseph Silver, a
noted ami prominent apostate, and bru
tally hauled him out of his house, drug
ged him through tho streets bareheaded,
and brought him before a Mormon Jus
tice, under tho Civil act. A crowd of
Geutiles followod.
Judge Haydoii demanded bis release,
stigmatizing the act a groat outrage on
tho rights of citizens, and offered bail to
any umouut. The prisoner dually was dis-
liurged, aud returned homo applauded
hy the people on the streets.
The feeling against the police and the
Mormon authorities is very bitter, aud
there is u general determination to artn
aud resist tho oppression of the Mor-
uious.
The situation is extromely critical. If
the Mormons do not desist from their
evil designs the Geutilos are determined
to resist all further outrages.
Congress itself is looked to to give
laws affording security to life aud proper
ty. Such act is absolutely necessary to
preveut the most serious disturbances.—
The present action of tho Mormon au
thorities ia only a foretaste of what ia to
oocur when Utah bus beeu admitted us a
State.
Yoorhees'bill meets with general accept
ance, and, l say, is required iu order to
keep the peace.
llrigham Young expects to be free in a
few dsye. Other prisoneis have the name
hope. They any the Mormon Law hits
taken the place of the Uuited States rule,
and that Zion is triumphant.

species of cotton plant, called botanicsllv

Miller claims that the plant is oapable of
being used for the same purpose as cot
ton. He kai made caudle aud lamp
wieka out of it, aud ropes, which bore aa

[Curre*j*,Uil*-DC® of tlie New York Wort#!.]
Wasbincton, April 15,1872.
While tho orgaus and the henchmfi of
the Administration affect to sneer in
public at the Cincinnati Convention, and
at those whoso name® have been mention
ed iu connection with it, evideuce it not
lacking to show that in private their cour
age is not quite np to the “sticking point.”
Il i3 ptrhaps not known to the mosses of
the u.aa who are ready to throw np their
hut® for Grant that within a few woeks—
indeed d*ys— a desperate effort has been
made by the Aduiinixtration to conciliate
Greeley, Fenton, Kumner, Trumbull, and *
all tbo disaffected Republican leaders.
There are the heat grounds for the asser
tion that tjiis originated, not in any love
or desire for association with these men,
but simply to keep them out of the Cin
cinnati movement. At first Gen. Grant
and his political advisers were disposed to
laugh at 'the idea of a revolt from the
p®rty being led by men like Greeley.
They consoled themselves with the idea
thsi a® soon as the nomination was mado
at Fbdadflphia all the dissatisfied would
tmuiiiHud support the regular ticket.
TLey are oatisfied Dow that this wa® a
false hope. At, a lost resort they have
utto opted conciliation.
Two or three gentlemen who support
Grant, and wrho were known to be perso-
nal friends of Mr. Greeley of long stand
ing—men who have fonght with him iu
favor of the tariff—were acleoted to make
a demonstration upon him. It was sup
posed that lung friendship and ancient
close party tie® would have some effect
upon the pLil-ihopher in bringing him
buck to the told. A letter was according
ly add reused to him. 'lhe response was
not by any means encouraging. Ou the
contrary, it amounted to a rebuff. Mr.
Greeley wus iu no mood to mako terms,
eveu though the advances came from the
other side. Ho has accordingly beeu
a'lAtidoned us a hopeless case. This is
the lust effort, aud the Administration
men ®ay nothing now remains but to fight
him to the bitter end. ^
The next demonstration was made upon
Fenton. Grant has an idea that the main
cause of Fenton's disaffection was tho
turning out of office of his friends in New
Yotk, and he thought all that was ucces-
sary was to reverse that policy and give
Feu toil a hhare of the patronage. Conk-
ling was consulted, and it was ascertained
that ho was williug to aacrifico u little of
hi® imperial sway m New York for tho
sake of hi® master in the White House.
It wa® accordingly arranged that Fenton .
should have s share : that a few of Conk- ■
ling's uien should he .juiutly dismissed
and Fenton men uppoiuted to succeed
thorn. It i® understood, however, that
when the matter was broached to Fenton
he gave it no encouragement, and intima
ted that he hiul n«> fuvors to usk.
Similar approaches have bcui made to
other disfati.-lied Republican Kenutois,
with likw results.
After scorning such liberal propositions
the Administration managers have come
t#i the conclusion that tha*o men are con
fident of success, and that there is some
thing moru in the Cincinnati movement
thuii they supposed. There is now no
secret mu lo ot the fact that the motivo of
this c mediation business was to break the
hack of the Cincinnati Convention by
withdrawing frourit tho men who are
likely to give it character and importance.
The time, however, for conciliation has
passed. The Liberul Republicans who
i have revolted are sati'-fied that thero is no
Inis journal, Hint. c huuce for Graut, uud they have no de-
tical men in each ! ; ~.i i... ...i ,

If the Uun in nati Convention is wboly

a rupiesentative Republican convention
to meut ut a future day*, and tho Demo
cratic convention ho called to meet at the
suine time, it may lie feasible to unite the
action «>f the two conventions on ono onn-
didate and a platform of honesty, and to
sweep the country. Or if the ( incinnuti
Convention adjourn till after the meeting
of the Democratic Convention, it i® prob
able that the 1 »tt«-r wuiihl not date to
make a pronounced Democratic) nomina
tion, and would be compelled to choose
such a man as the udjouniod Cincinnati
Convention would endorse
Hut let the Uinciuuati g®nfleme»n dis
miss from their minds the idea that the
Democrats nro m» weak and used up that
thoy are ready to follow any load. Some
old office-s# e!;or®.weary of wailing for the
day of returning power, tuny be willing
to accept any teuns, however bumbling,
by which they may belong to the winning
party, but thu truth i® too plain to be lost
sight of, that the Democracy is an im
mense power, welded together by the
blows of frc#|Ucnt defeats, and tlint thou
sand® of its members think they can win
without any outside help. Let, therefore,
tho Liberal Republicans be careful and
wise or tLcy will make a miserable fail-
I'oliltral St Tract it of the South.
The Huston Advertiser lias been taking
a look at the census statistics, and draws
fro iu thorn Home political conclusions
wt i *h are not altogether satisfactory to
its Eastern miuQ. U s astonished to find
that, according to tho geographical appor
tionment of States, the South is still tho
leading political power in tho Union.
Here is ita article on tho subject:
We gave the other day some statistics
bearing on the production®, population,
and political power of tho different geo
graphical sect iocs of the Union. The
suggestion® of theso statistics have an
important hearing in this connection.—
Koctionally the electoral vote is divided
under the new law as follows :
Whole number 857
Necessary for a choice 173
Tho New Kngluud Ktates have..* 38
The Middle Ktates 7i
The Western Stale® 105
The late slave States 134
The Pacific Ktates 3
It is manifest that under the recast of
psrtiea urged by many able and discon
tented men, the South would recover her
old position us a centre of nolitionl {rower.
Many intelligent people nave atndionsFy
deluded themselves with lhe belief that
tho West is the seat of political power In
the Uuion. 'l ire Kouth leads the West in
population and preponderates in tho elec
toral oollege.

Tmkx will do at C incinnati.-—With ref
erence to to the Cincinnati Convention,
the New York Tribune Rays:
Those present from csoh 8t*te will
doubtless orgauize as a delegation, with a
chairman aud secretary, and will first de
termine what candidates would be most
certain or most likely to carry their own
State, and then be ready to oonfer and
compare notes with others. If it be de
cided that a nomination shall be made,
then the chairman of ench delegation will
be authorized to cast in its behalf aa xuanj
votes as its Ktate is entitled to cast
through its electoral college, so that the
few members present from Muige or Cali
fornia shall not be swamped by the many
from Ohio or Missouri. In short, no
pains will be spared to collect and em
body public opinion, which may prove
a nife other than that of this or tbnt
iique In 'Washington.

llrpibllrnu,
SmiNaviELD, 111., April 13.—'Tko an
nouncement that Governor Palmer wa.®
no longer a candidate before the Uepnbli-
curuNtiifo Convention of May 2d, has ere-
ntea quite a consternation among tho fol
lowers of General Grant. It Iias also
transpired that Governor Palmer on the
lytb 4i*b, wrote to Mr. Trumbull that lie
wou’4 support the nominee of the CiucinJ
nati Convention if that body Kulecis f«»r
oaudidatea statesman whose political rec
ords aud private life has been each as can
insure the confidence of the country.
Governor Palmer's well earned military
reputation, his adherence to the written
constitution and law®, and his ability and
s: nailing throughout the nation and espe
cially ui the great West, hi® sUteamanKUip
aud patriotism, has created the belief with
vory many people that ho is tho proper
peraon to nominate for the Liberal Repub
lican candidate for the Presidency nt Cin
cinnati.
Gen. Palmer, formerly principal Ap
praiser of the New York Custom House,
states that in August of 1870, Murphy,
tbu collector, scut for bim and gave him
thu interesting information that “General
Grant wa® studying the polities of New
York with great oare, aud that no one
conld appreciate the tuterest which he
took in the Kioto and city politics;" and
that Grant thought that in ease of a
disagreement as to who should bo the
Republican candidate for Governor, that
he (Groat) should be allowed to name the
eon didate.
Really this it approaching very closely
to the leductioo of Ktates into mere pro
vinces, with the Governors to be np-
poiut«d by the President; in point of
fast meet people would prefer that mode
to be adopted at once, to having the
President sending bis Tom Murphy’e
around among the office holders,ab®*o®ing
each one a pro rate to raise funds to cor
rupt delegates to a State Convention.
Can any one imagine John Quinoy
Adams, or James Madison, or any other
man who was nt any time President of the
Uuited States, descending to play the
huckster in the ward politics of any of
our great cities? The very supporiiiou
is ridiculous. It was reserved for tbi® ig
norant and self-conceited wooden head to
imagine that he con undermine all the in
stitutions of the country, to the end that
he and his brothers-iu-law, end his own
and bis wife's kin as far oat as they can be
counted, c*u be enabled to revel in the
treasure of the people, wrung from them
by blundering legislation and super-ser
viceable subordinates.—Pittsburg l*ost.

by our Representatives at Washington.—
The old speeches were rehashed for the
oceassion, fresh spice being added hy Mr.
B. F. Bnt’er, who opposed the bill on the
groimd that the great outcry for the re
peel of the privilege came from the me
tropolitan papers, which were anxious to
crowd out small local papers of the coun
try,“afid to bave in their own hands the
character Mod fame and position of every
publie fiw so that bir associated tele-
sTams. sod associated slander* and scan
dals they can crush down public men."—
Deeply sympathising with Mr. Butler's
personal grievances, and fearing, with
Mr, CsrroU, that “the abolition of the
fracking privilege would bring about the
ruin of The Republiey” the House deter
mined, in a fit of patriotism, that docu
ments and dirty linen should be franked
the Mine aa ever, and so agreed to a mo
tion to reeemnrit, which kula the bill, and
thus salved the wounds of Mr. Butler,

reports we receive at to the agreement
between plantera and laborers, and ar
rangements for cultivation i>#]ually advan
tageous to both, w*e may expect » large
increase in the cotton crop of 1872 over
that of 1871, if the aeaaon proves a favor
able one. The newe we receive to thia
effect ia general and reliable.
From the tobacco-growing nectiona we
receive eqiuilv encouraging reports as to
the area which will be planted the pres
ent aeason. There ia promise of a large
ly increased production the present year
of this great ataplo, paitiealariy in Ten-
neaeee, Kentucky and ludiana. In tho
Utter Ktate our information is to the ef
fect that the farmers are paying increas
ed attention to tbs enkivetion of tobacco,
and it ie believed the crop of 1871, if the
teaeon proves e good one, will be much
the largest ever cultivated in Indiana.
The oora erop throughout the Southern
Status promises lo be n large one. In

replanting done, but in the main tbe crop
