To ora Conuxar FniasD*.—A» much interest is
tsit throughout the country In .regard to the pros
pects of tho cottou and other crops we will be grate
ful to our planting friends and others tn tho Interior
for infosasstlon on that subject. Those who have op-
-poriuulties for obtaining valuable information in
rsgard to the growing crops, the working of the free-
labor system, and kindred matters, of general Interest,
Wlli confer a favor by communicating the Bamo to us.
THE EXPECTED TllOl'BLiK.
It is useless to try to conceal the fact tliat
there is some apprehension in the minds of
intelligent business men that we are on the
eve of a financial crisis. This uneasiness is
caused by the heavy weight of taxation, the
unsettled condition of political affairs, and
the inordinate speculation and extravagance
so prevalent all over the land. The ques
tion which first presents itself when consider
ing this important matter is, what can be
done to avert the supposed impending evil?
We believe it may be avoided by thorough
and complete reform in those matters so
plainly leading to disaster. Should the de
sired changes not be made the crisis will
inevitably supervene—business will be pros
trated, fortunes will be lost, and financial
disorder and distress will reign among all
classes. In view, then, of this possible dan
ger, how important it is that every man use
his best judgment in making preparation to
meet it. And this remark isr especially ap
plicable to the people of the South, when, as
the result of a financial crisis, money will be
come scarce, the rates of interest will ad
vance, sales of all kinds will be curtailed,
prices will fall to the minimum, and employ
ment will be hard to obtain. Who will be
the chief sufferers? Those whom the panic,
if it comes, finds in debt—and this truth we
would like to impress upon every Tender of
our paper. As the effect of an old and mis
chievous custom in the South, we are too
prone to incur liabilities which we« Jgromise
and expect to meet promptly, and .which we
could meet under favorable circumstances.
But, unfortunately, as experience has shown,
the crash suddenly breaks the debtor, he
fails to raise money to meet his obligations,
he must of necessity submit to great sacri
flee, and financial ruin is the result. Busi
ness men would not suffer more, perhaps,
than the laboring men who earn, their living
by honest industry : but the measure of the
suffering of the latter will depend greatly
upon the preparation that they shall have
made for it. The man who is now prac
ticing strict economy, and carefully laying
up every cent he can spare, would scarcely
feal the general crash; for if his wages
should be curtailed, or he he thrown out of
employment entirely, the same causes that
thus affect him would diminish the prices of
every hing purchasable to the lowest notch,
and every dollar he is now saving would then
ba worth three. Then it is'clearly the duty
of all to save every dollar that is not needed
for absolute necessaries, bearing in mind the
fact that it may possibly have a three-fold
value in the time of want. Do- this, and if
the apprehended crisis comes you will be un
harmed amid the general ruin.

Aboushtso iKFnmomanr von Debt a Exqlaxd.
A new reform is proposed in England. The Bank
ruptcy bill now pending in Parliament provides for
the abolition of imprisonment for debt. The London
Times says:
“ This change, at .lint desired on the grouud .of hu
manity, may now be defended on the simplest princi-
plee of common sense. If it were cruel to put s man
lu prison to lie there forever, it is absurd to - put him
there only for the purpose of taking him out again,
and that at the public expense. With imprisonment
for debt falls, as we appr ehend, almost the whole ju
risdiction of in-olvency as opposed to bankruptcy. A
vast amount of time and trouble hitherto expended in
getting debtors who had no means of payment released
from arrest, will be swept away, and persons will no
longer obtain credit on the strength of the chance that
some compassiouate relative will release them from
imprisonment. It is impossible to speak too highly of
this change, whether viewed with reference to the
principles of political economy, of law, or of morality."
ME. BOTTS’ PLAN OF RECONSTRUC
TION.
Jno. M. Botts, of Virginia, has addressed
an open letter to the members of Congress,
•taring the objections of what he is pleased
to designate the class of true Southern
Union men whom he .represents to the plan
of reconstruction now before Congress, and
suggesting a substitute which, he believes,
will effect all desirable purposes.
His objections‘are that the proposed plan
makes no provision for the Union white
men ; that the proposed disfranchisement is
based upon wrong principles, being depen
dent upou the grade of offence committed,
a\d fails to reach mapy of the most mis
chievous ag'Uls in exciting the rebellion;
and that it is impracticable, as it will not be
adopted. He proposes in lieu of this plan,
to exclude from office in the Federal State
Governments, for ten years, all who were
over twenty-five years old at the breaking
out of the "rebellion,” unless they can take
an oath exculpating themselves from ever
having written or done anything to aid the
South in the late war, or “to alienate the af
fections or allegiance of the people of the
United States.”
Those whose age d 'os not exclude them to
be allowed to lin'd office only on taking oath
of tin unqualified allegiance in the future to
the Government of the United Slates.
This plau it will be observed, affects Norih-
ern ‘'Copperheads” as well as “Southern
Rebels.” It is Considered by Mr Botts and
. his admirers an improvement- on the third
section of the amendment before Congress,
for which it is offered as a substitute, but
fails, say some of the radicals, where .the
committee’s bill itself fails, in ignoring the
essential point of. the recognition ol the
equal lights of the i'reedinen, who have not
forfeited it by crime, to be represented in the
Government. .—
This man Botts is to be the leader of a new
political organization in the Southern States,
to be styled the Union party, and bis opin
ions are therefore important and worthy of
notice. For the information of our leaders
in regard to this new party we give in an
other column a report of their recent Con
vention at Alexandria,-Va: it wiH-be seen
that the leaders, although disagreeing, upon
certain points, are exceedingly bitter against
the "Rubs,” and propose to disfranchise them
forever.

The report if the New York Chamber of jtnet Attorney Fi«L before the U: S..District
Coart on Tuesday, compels ns to defer its
publication for another day. We can pro
mise our readers to-morrow the only correct
and full report of this important argument
the Country. The Committee appointed to MUCH surprise is expressed in Washington at the
report on the subject do not rest their case conduct of Baron Stoeckle.Mfce Russian Minister, in
ou lilt-re Hsseriion or random declamation,
but on the evidence of lacts carefully ascer-
tnined. The arguments urged by the Com
mittee were patent to all competent inqui
rers, and it forms a subject of melancholy
reflection that such a paper should go forth
to the world in vindication of sound princi
ples of taxation. The Committee of Ways
and Means in the Senate have shown how
imperfect is their knowledge of the subject
when they have assumed that the excise of
five cents per pound on cottoa falls on the
consumer, instead of the producer. The
Committee of the Chamber make only a
brief reference to this self-evident position,
apparently conceiving jt a point on wbicb
it is not necessary to bestow any argument.
The Committee say:
The natural course seems now to be for eotton to
decline, perhaps very slowly, and by fits and starts,
until it reaches half it* present value, if the growths
if 1SGQ and 1807 are prolific ; and it is equally na
tural to suppose ou ' planters must make two succes
sive crops, each of 3,000,000 or 4,000,000 of bain, and
dell them at very low prices before the cultivation in
the Bombay district will be materially curtailed. The
prospective difficulties of the American planter, even
without any tax on account, are great, probably
greater than he supposes, as both in the North and
south there are. still lurking ideas that “American
cotton is king." For if be secure a large crop, he is
sure to meet a low price ; while if. hia crop is short,
,nd his earnings therefore small, the cultivation in
other countries will continue to increase. Yet at this
very lime, when he is struggling for existence, a tax
of five cents per pound is proposed, which, being
practically an rxjxn't duty, is equivalent to charging
him with that amount tor the purpose of paying it
over to the cultivation of Egypt, India and Brazil.
Of what weight cm be Mr. Conkling’s
asseriion, in the men of facts, “that if the
American staple can be put into the marked
at 15 1-2 cents per pound, surely it esn af
ford to pay the five cent tax and still com
pete wiib the world.”
He further averred “that in the emergency
which had passed away cotton bad been
largely grown in Brasil and in other fields,
but we were able to compete successfully
with any rival cotton growing country. He
thought the entire cotton crop of the world
was about twelve millions of bales. The
highest crop in the United States bad been
five millions of bales.”
From what state of facts does he infer
that “we were able to compete successfully
with any rival cotton growing country?”
The United States are now patting the ex
periment to trial of competing with the cot
ton growing countries of the world. Mr.
Conkling is anticipating the result, under the
new system of labor, when be states that
“the emergency bad passed away” of -main
taining competition with the cotton growing
countries of the world.
Mr. Opdyke took those views of the sub
ject which should govern the enlightened
merchant. “He thought it unwise on the
part of Congress to burden any staple such
as cotton with a tax which must necessarily
cripple our commerce. It it was intended to i
make the Mouth aid in paying the vast debt i
it bad caused us to contract by imposing this
tax upon cotton, that was a doctrine which,
would hardly find advocates in that Cham- i
ber. He regarded the policy by which such j
a tax was proposed as unwile and unjust. ”

He says ibis report tabs heavily on the hopes

that there is scarcely a member of the House

does not believe that, not only according to
justice, but in accordance with the spirit of
the constitution and the principles on rihicb
the government is bused, the right of every

have a voice in the representation with every
other citizen is unquestionable, and that there

Head-Centre Stephens on tax Canada
Scheme.—In an address to a delegation which

said that “to attack Canada was, in his
opinion, to strike a death-blow at Irish na
tionality, and this was the unanimous feeling
of the Irish Republicans at home. They de
sired nothing bnt support—money and the
materials of war—from America, and looked
upon all attack# upon Canada as a fatal di
version from the true aims and purposes of
the Brotherhood—the disenthral m«qt of the
Irish race.” “To compromise the country
which has given you shelter and opened to
you a career of useftflneae is not the way to
free Ireland, and Vrill never effect that for
which we are organiAd. What prevented us
from fighting? Dissensions in America—and
these dissensions were kept alive by the
scheme of wreaking a magnificent revenge
upon England through her Canadian posses
sions. The revenge,” he continued, “ might
be magnificent; but its' magnificence was
suicidal—was ruinous to the prospects and
hopes of the people at home.”
