The Enemy* Strategy-
The efforts to defeat, ruin forever,
and kilf the Dermatic party, are
numerous, deep lald^poreiftent, an
pressed vigorously and earnestly by
the party in power. Those who
•wish the defeat of the party, are
trying to get it to take some plausi
ble but suicidal step from which it
can never recover, but which will
inevitably prove fatal.
The first was the New Departure
programme. This movement was
•one of magnitude and looked threat
ening Co man. The-'Sun was the
first paper in the South, if not in the
Union, to attack and boldly fight
the heresy. It is dead, and is no
.longer in the way. <.
The next was Passivism, or Pos-
.sumism, but it was so sickly that it
•died soon after its birth. It made
but little show, and attracted but
little attention during its feeble grid
short lived existence.
Next came the proposition for the
Democrats to unite with the so-call
ed “Liberal Republicans” for the
paramount objec| of defeating Grant
in the next residential race. The
organs of thi3 sly movement earnest
ly represent the dangerous ambition
of the military tyrant, and lustily
call upon us to ignore our principles
for the present, and help the disaf
fected squad of Radicals to beat
Grant. This ridiculous proposition
lias met with but little favor, and it
Is fast subsiding. It was but a
alight wave—not amounting to a
clever sized billow on the great sea
of public opinion. It was very fool
ish in any one ever to have proposed
it, and those who did so are begin
ning to see it.
Wc cannot notice aD the schemes
and tricks to bring a Trojan
into the citadel and strongholds of
the Democratic camp, or to induce
the pa% to forsake their own de
fenses and walk over to the enemy’s
camp. The latest is-a puerile effort
to weaken the party—especially
in the South. It originated in this
city—in a movement to celebrate
Henry Clay’s Dirth-day. It has
been foreshadowed for months in
the columns of the New Era. It
proposes to revive the old Whig
party, or something like it. Hon.
13. Hi Hill is believed to be its chief
inspiration and director. Thos. A.
R. Felson and John Baxter, of Ten-
ncs«c, have taken up the move
ment. The Jtanner of Nashville,
which bolted the Democratic nomi
nation in the last Congressional
campaign, leans that way, '“hearti
ly applauds” to have “a convention
of the Conservative masses of Ten
nessee,^ and favors “a consultative
meeting of the Conservative citizens
of Tennessee.” Yes; anything to de
feat the Democracy—even if it re
sult in the re-election ol Grant-—the
real editor, and control its. politics;
that is to be run under his direction
and supervision, and that he has
Gubernatorial aspirations—eject
ing to make a desperate effort to de

campaign, and succeed to the Chair
now so worthily filled by GoV. Smith.
The whole is a scheme to defeat the
Democratic party, and that means

“Buffalo Bill,” the original genu

wiped out more redskins, killed ihore
grizzlies, and raised more particular
mischief generally upon the plains
than any other man, according to
Ned Buntiine, passed through this
city on Friday last, on his way East.
Buffalo William only stopped in this
city long enough to “corral” suffi
cient provisions at the depot dining
hall to last him to Buffalo. He was
attired in the usual buckskin suit so
often described in ten cent works of
fiction, aud created much consterna
tion among the sable waite. s by eat

his bread with a Bowie knife that he
had twisted around among the vitals
of scores of Indians, as the notches
oh the handle prove. He wore a
gray shirt, upon which Hashed the
fifty cent solitaire that Alexis gave
hiinj for his services in the recent
buffalo hunt that has flooded the
country with cheap meat, and nearly
ruined the butchers. While leisurely
awaiting the departure of the Eastern
express “Bill” amused himself by
throwing his railroad ticket in the
air, and shooting it full ol holes with
his revolver, often putting six ballet
holes through the same before it fell
to the ground. While thus engaged
a tobacco dealer came into the depot,
bringing a large wooden Indian
which he intended to express to
Painesville for a eigar dealer’s sign.

blood-thirsty demon of the forest

use the tomahawk that is immovably
fixed in Iks band, he was cut into
mincemeat, and his enemy waved
aloft the wooden top-not that had
decorated his finely carved head.
The bystanders stood aghast at the
fearful tragedy, and the traifl mov

stepped on board as calm as. ever,

Cotton Crop Prospects.
The incoming cotton crop of onr
Southern States is likely to fall short'
of that grown in 18T0 some throe-
fourths of a million of bale3 npoh
which premise the price has consid
erably advanced, standing now some
eight cents higher than at the cor
responding date last year. But not
withstanding the deficiency in the
American crop, English spinners
evidently do not apprehend any
dearth of supply, from the fact that

the greater part of the season, ruled

bales, to be placed against toe
possible or probable deficiency
from this side of the Atlantic. Add
to the supplies of other sources than
the United 'States and it promises to
be more abundant. FronWlndia the
accounts are somewhat contradicto
ry. Some damage has been done in
certain districts, but there is no
reason to suppose that the amount
grown will vary much from last
year, whilst the comparatively high
prices ruling will, as has always
been the case with that country,
materially increase the quantity,
brought to the seaboard for ship
ment.
The accounts from Brazil are fev-
orable, and some increase from last
year’s supply from that quarter is
expected. From Egypt the quanti

last year, so that on toe whole En
glish spinners reasonably look for
