sitager, there would have been no cause for
1SC1, when tbe men of his own section were arrayed
on one side, and all the men of this section should
have been arrayed on the other, lie stood up and
rebuked the iell spirit of rebellion. The Const!-
lution was Uls ark of safety ; before it ho bowed
three times a dayVith more than Eastern devotion.
The manogers bad ransacked the records of 500
years to obtain perccdents of impeachment, but
be did not think they had found one case where an
officer was Impeached for obeying a higher duty
rather than a mitten law, which he believed to be
in derogation of it. He has stood up against fear-
lul opposition.
As your sentence is promulgated, end the pco
pie ask where is thy brother whom we placed with
you, and yon answer he Is slain by the sword of the
Constitution upon the altar of justice. He hid
seen great evil come from these unconstitutional
laws. He bad seen the State of Georgia pass a
penal law that no one should preach the gospel to
the Indians. A missionary undertook to preach
in defiance of tbe law and was put in prison. A
distinguished Senator, a relative of one now repre
senting the State of New Jersey on this floor, (Mr.
Frellnghuysen.) made cflorts to have the violated
Constitution of tbe United States made eflcctuaL
The Supreme Court decided the law unconstitu
tional, and the State of Georgia laughed at it aud
kept the missionary in prison. That violation ol
the Constitution had been fearfully avenged. The
State of South Carolina had a law imprisoning
colored seamen who ventured into her borders,
and drove out a citizen ol Massachusetts who went
there and endeavored to make a cose for tho Su
preme Court. He had 6ecn since then one of our
greatest captains, ol the lineage and name of the
Shermans, sweeping with his victorious legions
from mountain to sea, and trampling the whole
State ot South Carolina under hoof. Tho Consti
tution had travailed, bnt it had been vindicated.
If we had not enough lessons on this subject,
wo would l;avo more. We are at the weak point
of tho Constitution now. Wo have summoned a
million of men and untold treasure to our aid to
defend the Constitution in its time of peril; can
we summon thorn now? Will the people bo
satisfied that tho Constitution is to receive no
wound? Sco to it that you do not impair the
structure which tho framers of tho Constitution
have reared. Act as if your deliberations were
to bo conducted under tbeir scrutiny.
Mr. Evarts concluded at 3 r. at. Daring tho
last fifteen minutes of his argument he spoke so
low at times that it was impossible to catch all
hja words.
The usual recess was then taken, and Senators
crowded around Mr. Evarts’ in congratnlation.

A boy who smokes early or frequently, or iu

Removal of the State Capital.
We cheerfully endorse the following pro
test of our contemporary of tbe Journal &
Messenger. The idea of robbing an impov
erished people of several millions of dollars
to subserve no public convenience, butsimplv
to put money into tbe pockets of the real
estate owners of Atlanta, and that at the be
hest of a body who acted wholly without
authority from the people, is simply mon
strous':
If the Democratic party has a majority in
the Legislature, it is hoped that it will per
emptorily refuse to appropriate one dollar to
carry out the Radical plan of removing the
State Capital from Millcdgeville to Atlanta.
As the act of removal is purely legislative,
the late Convention liad not the shadow of a
right to engraft it into the new Constitution.
The question was sprung in the Convention
after it met, and not a word was ever said to
the people upon the subject while they were
voting upon the question of cal ing that body
together. And had that clause been sub
mitted to them separately it would have been
voted down by a hundred thousand majority.
But it was tacked on the other provisions of
time instrument and the whole document ac
cepted.
It is certain that nine-tenths at the people
of Georgia, Democrats and Radicals, do not
want the change made. There is no necessity
for it. Atlanta has not the geographical ad
vantages that Milledgeville has—the one is
no more accessible than the other. Atlanta,
just emerged from ashes, Las no public
buildings in which to qffer accomodations to
the Senate and House ol Representatives.—
The people of the State bankrupted, ruined,
and without money, are at this time wholly
unable to withstand even the burthensome
taxation imposed upon them by the Fcdcra
and the State Governments. The idea of im
posing a levy of two or three millions upon
them now for this purpose is not only folly,
but a crime.

The Bankrupt Act.—The following de
cision has just been rendered in an important
case in Baltimore, in regard to the mnch dis
puted point whether the Bankrupt act went
into operation in March or in June last, and
consequently whether tbe requisition that
debtor’s assets shall equal half his liabilities
takes effect now, or not until June:
But it is not admitted that the act did not
take effect except as to the appointment of the
officers created thereby and tbe promulgation
of rules and general orders until the 1st day of
June, 1868, but to the contrary it will be found
that the important rights and liabilities de
volve upon parties immediately after the pas
sage of the act; [see section 23, 27, 29, 39,
and 44]—fertile right to compel a debtor
into voluntary bankruptcy—the disallowance
of preferences,or of a discharge to a bankrupt
and their right to have him punished for a
fraud upon his creditors. All these rights
and disablilities accrue as well before tbe
1st day of June as afterwards, and they are
vital points and matters of the law. I there
fore conclude that the act became a law in
March, and that by the 50th section there was
only a suspension of the remedies, that is of
petitions or other proceedings under the act,
so that they should not be filed, received, or
commenced before the 1st day of June after
wards, when the law should go into full oper
tion; that is to say, should f urnish all the re
medial and other processes for the execution
of its provisions.

The Georgia Election in Washington.
—Squirm and deny it as the Radicals may,
according to their own returns the Democrats
have a majority on joint ballot in tho Legis
lature, and when they come to voting, wo
predict that it will bo from ten to twenty
larger than it appears to be. This result has
greatly confounded the politicians at Wash
ington. Tho correspondent of tho New York
Times ssys:
The fact that tho Democrats have carried
the Georgia Legislature, thus securing tbe
United States Senators for that party, creates
a curious impression among tho Democrats
here. They don’t know whether to accept
the result or not—notbeiDg entirely satisfied
that sound figs can be gathered from such a
political thistle aX h Democratic Legislature
elected by a universal suffrage in un ex-slave
State. The result was accomplished by tbe
same machinery which gave the Governor of
Connecticut to the Democrats, and the Legis
lature to the Republicans. ITie Republican
majority of the State was mainly made up in
a few counties of heavy majorities, while the
Democrats carried a great many close coun
ties by Small majorities, thus securing their
legislative ticket, but not overcoming the
heavy Republican counties. Some of the
Georgia Radicals here, however, claim that
they will have a small majority in the Legis
lature on joint ballot.
Wno Should Cast a Stone at im
President.—Mr. Evarts, in the course of his
late speech, answers this question not a little
to the disparagement of Chief-Manager But
ler. He says:
It must be one who, by long discipline,
has learned to speak within bounds; one
whose lips would stammer at an imputation,
whose cheek would blush at a reproach,
whoso ears would tingle at an invective, and
whose eyes would close at an indecorum. It
must be ono who, by strict continuance of
speech, and by control over the tongue, that
unruly member, “has gained with all his
countrymen the praise of rulmg his own
spirit, which i9 greater than one who taketh
a city.” And now tbe challenge is answered,
and it seems that the honorable Manager to
whom this duty is assigned Is one who would
be recognized at once in the judgment of all
os “first in war,” “first in peace,” first m bold
ness ot words, and first in the hearts of all
his countrymen who love this wordy intre
pidity.- [Unrepressed laughter.]
pgy~The Spaniards have taken Saratoga by
storm since the opening of Angnsta, and
where French counts and German barons
have laid scigo in vain the Castilian dasb has
achieved a triumph. These Cubans have
such an easy, nonchalant air that they arc
perfectly irresistible to the Americans. They
sap and mine away at their approaches in
such on unconscious way, and withal in per-
ket bonhomme, that the citadel is captured be
fore the garrison is well aware of the attack.
Mr. Forsyth, of the Mobile Register, in his
last letter from Washington, says:
As an observer of the march of events at
this focus ot political sentiment, I should fail
short of duty as a faithful chronicler, did I
omit to note the all but universal feeling that
the revolution now in progress will culminate
in another domestic war—this time not a sec
tional, but a civil war. All intelligent Dem
ocrats have ceased to doubt that it is the de
sign of the Radical revolutionists to hold on
to the power of the Government under all
aud any circumstances. It is with this view
that they are so intent in driving Mr. Johnson
from the Executive seat and placing them
selves in full possession of ail the departments
of the Government when the critical hour
strikes. They will manipulate the votes of
the electoral college to give themselves a ma
jority, and they will force upon the Democrats
the fearful responsibility of inaugurating civil
war to sustain their claims justly resulting
from a constitutional majority of the people.
If Ihe Democratic President elect is a man
of weak and ncrevlcss character, they expect
an easy victory and acquiesce in their usur
pation. Hence the general Democratic desire
to select a leader who will be equal, in judg
ment, in daring, and in the confidence of the
people in the great emergency. The need is
for both a statesman and a soldier, and prob
ably the qualities of the latter in a high
and stern degree will be all essential to open
the path for the exercise cf the official quali
ties of the first. And perhaps, too, if the
right man is in tho right place—some man
of Jacksonian temper—the Radicals may be
deterred irom the coup de f rce which none
doubt it is their purpose to attempt, it re
mains to be said that I have not met tue first
Democrat who, having measured the danger
and the responsibility, hesitates to declare
that, his mind is made up to the solemn duty
of meeting the issue as presented, and of in
augurating, at the point of the bayonet, the
white President elected by a majority of the
white men of the United States.
Upon the premises being correct, Wash
ington will be a very lively place about tbe
fourth of next March. A civil war would
be a deplorable calamity ‘in this country,
where the energetic character of the people
compels them to do with all might whatever
they put their hands to. And once begun,
no man could forecast the end. It might
out last the thirty years’ German war, or go,
until slaughter survived the recollections of
the issues and principles upon which it was
originally urged. But there are worse
things than war in its most sanguinary and
destructive forms. The freedom of a nation
like this is peerless beyond all sacrifices;
priceless above all earthly boons. So reason
tbe nnti Radical men, and in the spirit of
the argument, they declare they have made
up their minds to act.
The Radicals who contend that the sun
and moon ought to stand still till Andrew
Johnson is removed have been a little flut
tered at the hint that Chief Justice Chase,
the close of the arguments on both sides, may
assume the right to deliver a charge on the
law and the testimony, according to the
usage of all other courts in criminal cases.
Mr. Sumner’s resolution, providing that
tbe close of the arguments the Senate shall
proceed to vote on the several specifications
of the indiement “guilty” or “not guilty,” it
is supposed is aimed to head off the Chief
Justice, and he may be headed off. He has,
however, the whole case in his hands upon
this very issue, and he may bring this mock
ery of a trial to an inglorious collapse by
taking a firm position in behalf of his right
and duty as presiding judge to deliver the
usual charge to the jury.
The Chief Justice, let us suppose, will
claim this right, and let us further suppose
that to avoid any controversy with him the
Senate will concede it: then, in order to se
cure the ends of justice in delivering his
charge, he has only, first,.to say that such is
the evidence and such is the law submitted
in this trial that the accused can be convicted
only upon presumption, and that according
ly, in his opinion, the indictment ought to
be quashed.
Secondly, with the refusal of the Senate to
accept this charge, the Chief Justice has only
to say that a sense of duty requires him to re
tire irom the court, and the case at once col
lapses, because his presence as the presiding
officer is necessary to the validity of this trial
from the beginning to the end. With his
retirement there would be no way to meet
the difficulty; because, if Mr. Chase should
be impeached, tried, convicted and removed
•for “high crimes and misdemeanors” in thsi
matter, his successor as Chief Justice would
have to be appointed by President Johnson
and confirmed by the Senate before the trial
of Johnson could be resumed. Under such
a state of things, in short, the Chief Justice
would be master of the situation, and An
drew Johnson could quietly settle himself
down to tbe administration of the functions
of bis office till tbe 4th of March next. The
Chief Justice, In assuming the right and in
taking the ground we have indicated, would
be acting consistently with the course he has
from the outset pursued iu behalf of his prero
f atives as presiding judge of this Court of
mpeacliment. Hence this flutter among the
Radicals upon the rumor that he will claim
the right to charge the members of the Sen
ate as a jury before they proceed as a jury to
declare their verdict. The Radicals fear and
hate him because be has notsurrendered him
self as an obedicnct party slave in this prose
cution. Why, then, should he be the con
venient instrument of mere party vengeance
in waiving his right to change the jury in this
case ? Let him insist upon it to the extremity
we have suggested, and, though the Radicals
may excommunicate him, the country will
endorse him.—Neio York Herald. *

Mr. Evarts’ Masterly Argument.
THE PARTISAN MEANNESS OF IMPEACHMENT
EXPOSED—CHASE URGES RESISTANCE TO
RADICAL DESPOTISM.
Tte Reconstruction Committee on the
Constitutions of thf Southern States.—
A meeting of the Reconstruction Committee
was held this morning, which lasted for some
time. The question of restoring South Caro
lina and Arkansas to their former relation?
with the other States was considered at
length, add the constitution of the first
named State, which is the only one here, was
the subject of discussion. No final conclusion
was arrived at, the whole matter being post
poned until the constitutions of the other
Southern States arrive. The purpose of the
committee is to have' all the South
ern States restored to the Union under
constitutions as nearly alike as possible, and
presenting a positive uniformity on tbe sub
jects of education and suffrage. On Satur
day next another meeting will be held, at
which time it is expected that the constitu
tions of Arkansas, North Carolina, Georgia,
and Louisianajwill have arrived, and the com
mittee be enabled to adopt some definite
plan for restoration. It is believed, however,
and generally conceded, that all of the States
will be admitted to representation and to
their former positions in tbe Union, under
the bill reported on yesterdag in the House.
[New York Herald.
£3?”It is reported that Senator Fessenden
has said, openly and boldly, that be “will
not perjure himself to please party friends."
The most extreme of the Radical papers have
already opeued thejr batteries upon bim as a
renegade and traitor. Eu; are ri*ey not a
little too fast in drawing tVs inference from
that rematkt Da they not thereby concede
that ho must “pcijure himself’ in order to
please his party.? The conclusion strikes ns
as a good deal too broad.—N. Y. Times.
Special to tbe Louisville Courier.]
Washington, April 28.—Mr. Evarts spoke
for two hours, taking a broad and compre
hensive view of all the questions, and laying
down the foundation for his argument. His
description of the powers of the different de
partments of the Government, personifying
them and bringing them all within the walls
of the Senate chamber where there is a deadly
strife, was a picture of rare grandeur and
beauty. Tlie powers and duty of tbe Presi
dent to defend and preserve the! Constitution
were clearly stated. He referred in caustic
terms to Congress with its present exaggera
ted and almost omnipotent pretensions far
exceeding its scope of duty.
He pointed out the obligations of the Sen
ate in court; their delicate aud important
/tractions in the trial and what was due to
impartial justice, their country, their oaths,
and' their God. This portion of his remarks
was uttered with a weight and solemnity
which powerfully impressed all who heard
him. He tore impeachment to shreds and
tatters, exposed its factious selHshness, its
want of principle and truth, and made its
partisan measures despicable in the eyes of
all. He read an extract from Judge Spen
cer's speech in Judge Peck’s case, where he
said in appearing iu it he would scorn to
bring the spirit of party before an august
body of Senators. This was too much for
Butler even, and that worthy left the cham'
ber in dismay. He pictured the condition of
the President’s office if Johnson is deposed,
and said the Constitution never contempla
ted that it should be filled byapy one except
ing he was elected by the people.
Senators are discussing the point particu
larly to-night, and, in the event of Johnson’s
removal, it is not improbable that the pres
ent law will be amended so as to Lave an
election lor President at an early day.
Some Senators bold that tbe present exigen
cies of tho country demand it.
In this connection the doubt of "Wade’s
eligibility as successor as not being an officer
of the government within the meaning of the
law was discussed. It is known the Chief
Justice has said there is grave doubts of U,
and this is urged as an additional reason for
filling the office in the contingency named
by a general election.
There is authority for stating that in view
of the alarming strides of the Radicals to
ward despotism Chief Justice Chase has said
it was time every lover of constitutional lib
erty shonld band together against the de-
structionists.

W. C. Watts &■ Co.’s Weekly M.rket
Report.
Liverpool, April 17.1868.
Cotton.—Our last issue was under date of Thurs
day. tho 9th inst., when wo reported a largo business
for tbe preceding five business days, and at the dose
we quoted middling American atl2d to 12J4d for Up
lands and Orleans. Friday and Saturday were close
holidays in tho Cotton market. On Monday telegrams
from New York reported an increase, both in receipts
and shipments from tho American ports, of about
10,003 bales, forweek ending 10th instant, upon the
preceding week. This was much larger all round
than previously estimated, and would no doubt have
caused some decline hero in prices but for tho report
ed advance of 3 cents in New York and large Ameri
can orders to buy. This unexpected large advance in
Now York, where prices wero before relatively dearer
than in this market, gavo strength to the report that
the increased receipts wero at tho expense of interior
depots, and hence wo might look for a very large fall
ing off in receipts this week, inasmuch as the stock at
the interior depots were reduced to a very low point.
Tho result was quite an active speculative demandat
improving prices. On Tuesday tho reports from Man
chester were more favorable than expected, and a
further advance of 1 cent in New York was reported;
prices hero continued to improvo and before the close
of business American to arrivo, distant shipments,
were sold at 12?£d to 13d for Uplands and Orleans, and
on tho spot middling Orleans touched 12%1. On
Wednesday we had news of adownward turn in prices
inNewYork.and privato telegrams estimated receipts
at tho American ports at 37,0U0 to 40,000 for the week
ending to-day. This being more liberal than anlici-
>ated, and later advices from Bombay reporting large
ly increased shipments, prices took a downward turn
here, and continued to declino until last evening,
when American to arrivo and on the spot, closed }£d
lower than the extreme prices of Tuesday, and Or-
eans, basis middling, on shipboard in port, was sold
as low as 12^6 deliverable from warehouse.
The sales of the week (five days) ending la?t even
ing sum up 55,780 bales, of which 32,680 were taken by
the trade, 5900 declared for export; and 17,200 on spec
ulation. Fiom these figures it would appear that
the trade took near 12,000 less than their estimated
weekly resumption, but inasmuch as many of the
mills were closed two or throe days during tho holi
days, it is doubtful if spinners have now a less st ck
on hand than on the9th instant. It will beobserved
that exporters continue to buy tho small supply of
Surrats in this market; should no political event in
terrupt tho course of trade on the continent we
will no doubt after the 1st Juno next witness a large
ly increased export demand in this market.
Tho general position ot the market continues to in
crease the strength. From our tables below it will bo
seen tho stock is now 385,950 bales less than last year,
and the estimated supply at sea from India and Amer
ica 152.000 bales less, making the total apparent de
ficit. as compared with last year, 537,950 kales, against
487,790 as per our report last week. If to this deficit
wo add 207,000 bales decrease in stocks in American
ports 10th instant, wo have 751.950 bales deficit in ap
parent supply. It is therefore becoming more and
more evident that unless the receipts at the American
ports from this until tho close of August should be
considerably largor than same time last year (and we
doubt if they will be as large) and the shipments from
India for tho next two monts much larger than last
year, that consumption mast soon bo largely reduced
in order to come with tho basis of supply.
Manchester, which for tho past two weeks has been
buoyed up by a large South American demand for
goods, is now apparently hanging to the skirts of this
market, and to-day reported very quiet and prices
rathro easier. ,

Fallacies of tbe Faculty.
The stomach is the ruling organ of tho system. If
the digestion is imperfect, every member, every gland
every muscle, every nerve and fibre is more orless out
of order. A11 the brain is clouded. The spirits are
depressed. All dyspeptics know this to be tho truth*
It is not, however, half tho truth. Columns would be
required to enumerate tho pains and penalties of dys
pepsia, nor could any pen', do them justice. Tens of
thousands feel them 4 no man can describe them;
Can they be prevented 7 Can they be relieved?
Can they be banished at once and forever? Unqnes-
tionably they can. No dyspeptic has ever taken HOS-
TETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS in vain. Bolieve
no ono who says the • complaint is incurable. This
great vegetable stomachic will eradicate it—is eradi
cating it ia thousands of cases over which medical
practitioners have shaken their heads ominously say
ing “Nothing can bo done.” The faculty has
its fallacies. One of them is that indigestion is the
most difficult of all the ordinary ailments of mankind
to combat and subdue. This is a mistake. Nothing
can be easier than to conquer it if the true specific' be
administered. This vegetablo combination which has
become famous throughout tho civilized world as
Hostotter’s Stomach Bitters is an antidote to the dis
ease which has never been known to fail, and fortu
nately it is everywhere procurable. If you wish to
fool with the dyspepsia, try the pharmacopoeia pre
scriptions. If you want to root it out and prevent its
recurrence, take the Bitters daily. There is no dis
count on the testimony in its favor. If there is a man
or woman who has ever tried it for indigestion without
being benefited, the fact has not transpired. Univer
sal, uncontradicted praise avouches its wonderful tonic
virtues.

gathering of mourners attended tbe obse
quies of Henry J. Harstene formerly of the
United States Navy, which took place yes
terday in Newark, N. J. The remains en
cased in a metalic casket, were removed from
the residence of ElihuDay to Trinity church,
where the beautiful burial service of tho
Episcopal Church was recited by Rev. Dr. M.
Meier Smith, tbe rector. At its conclusion
the anthem “I heard a voice from Heaven,”
was effectively rendered by the choir. Over
the remains was thrown a beautiful United
States flag, worked in silver and gold, and on
this were^laid the magnificent jewel-hilted
sword presented to the deceased by Queen
Victoria for his action connected with the
British war veasel Resolute, and a neatly ar
ranged floral anchor. At the close of the
service the funeral cortege proceeded to
Mount Pleasant Cemetery, and there the re
mains were committed to mother earth.—
Among those present were Major General

Bryce Cfc Coi’s WeeRly- Cotton Circular.
New York. May 1.1868.
Cotton.-Our inatket has bean tamo throughout
the week; tbe business has been extremely small, and
this fact has been as much due to the indisposition of
sellers to sell as tho slowness of buyers to buy. We
continue to rule higher than Liverpool in spite of
cheap freights and high rates for sterling; with this
fact remembered, and an utter absence of home de
mand, it is perhaps extraordinary that prices have
been so well maintained. The speculation which has
been buyiDg this week has bcou of a strong character
and able to carry its purchases. It is also to be re
marked that a very powerful clique have hammered
the market in hopes of causing a decline to the export
point, but their offorts seem to hAVe been futile, and
toward the close of the week they have manifested a
disposition to boy at the small decline which has
been made. Spinners hold aloct with rcui-rrkable
persistency, and short time has been adopted by some
of tho mills. Goods do not move ataliridg profit to
spinners, and they seem to hesitate about accumula
ting stock at tho current prices of cotton. Some
operators in cotton have disposed of their entire stock
of domestics to a single operator. If this spirit of
speculation assumes any large proportions, we may
look for a heavy advance in cotton under a spinning
demand.
General Remarks.—Since our last review no es
sentially new clement has been introduced into the
cotton question. The Abyssinian war has ended, but
it will take so long a time to remove the army, stores,
etc., that no increase of freights from Bombay can be
expected until after tho wot season has set in-
period too remote to have much effect on the price __
cotton. The cable advises that the Bombay exports
for the first half of April were 30.400 hales, but tho
course of the Liverpool market has been a strong
argument that these figures are erroneous. Our re
ceipts aro very small, and for all practicable purposes
we may consider the crop as in. The stock on Land
not on board ship seem3 very small, and we do not
think Europe can look for more than 50,000 bales ir
addition to shipments now on the way or about clear
ing. Taking this view of the case, let our homo trade
be as bad as it may bo. we must look for a higher
range of pricos. for tho supply of Europe is fully 500.-
000 bales short compared with tho present rate of
consumption. Short time will of course correct this
deficiency, but it docs not seem that current prices
are high enough to induce such a movement. Tho
rice crop of India is reported as excellent, and th
means a largo demand tor Manchester fabrics. The
political horizon of Europe has no signs of a war
cloud, -and a brisk continental trado must be looked
for. Lastly, the home trado of Great Britain is excel
lent on account of the promise of largo crops, and
when wo consider that an active home trade will take
one-third of tho productions of Manchester, short
time at 12J4J. seems a very remote myth. In another
month or six weeks tho prospect of our crop will hare
more or less influence on tho markets of Europe, and
it is not perhaps too early to look at the promise of
the yield of1868-69. A great change of feeling on this
point has come over the market of Jate; the stimula
tion of high prices is everywhere acknowledged, but
there are some general principles and physical facts,
qaite as powerful as tho stimulation of 30 cts., which
are at work in this country os counterbalances to the
hopes of a big qrop. Tho geno.al impression seems to
bo that the crop of1867-63 will bo a maximum measure
fur that of 1868-69. It is a notorious fact that a large
number of mules havo beon disposed of during the
Winter to tho Northern and Border States by those
who planted on a large scale during tho past season,
and their Ability to cultivate is correspondingly di
minished even if the disposition were as strong as last
year. Cotton planting sinco tho surrender ha3 been
anything but lucrative, and from every- section wo
hear tho report that farmers fear to entor extensively
into the cultivation of a staple which has paid a loss
for three successive seasons. Another point should
likowiso ho considered—tho political agitation inci
dent to a presidential campaign cannot fail to serious
ly detract from tho amount of cotton ricked, for the
kiborers aro in thomain working this season for wages
and have no direct personal interest ra the crop, while
tho politicians will do their utmost to turn tho atten
tion of tho freedmen to political barbecues and pro
cessions. and consequently from their labor, at the
most critical period of the crop. Thcso three.causes
are general, and apply to all the Cotton States, to-
wit: lack ot live stock, fears of planting based on the
if three successive years, and the political agi-

In addition to theso general causes, tho late rains _
necessitated the replanting of a largo amount of the
cotton sown. It is truo that a long autumn will
remedy tho damage of a late Spring, hut tho most
severo rains have occurred in the more northern of
the cotton States, where at best the season is short,
and where they can ill afford to replant at this season.
The above reasons seem tho foundation of the grow
ing belief in a small crop noxt year, and Europe will
sooner orlater believe in them; for having been so
greatly misled last year concerning tho size of our
crop, a rush to the other extreme is mo3t probable
next season.

Who is Mr. Groesbeck ?—Mr. Groesback
of the President’s counsel seems to be a gen-
deman who only waited an opportunity, and
needed a suitaiile theatre, to establish a shin
ing reputatioa for abilities and eloquence.
He is a New Yorker by birtb, and about
forty-two years of age. After studying law,
he established himself in Cincinnati. The
standing he immediately acquired as a law
yer is attested by the fact that in 1852, when
Ire was only twenty six years of age, he was
appointed a member of the commission to
codity the laws of Ohio, his qualifications
having been made known by bis service tbe
previous year in the State Canstitutional
Convention.
In 1850 he was elected by the Democrats ot
the Second Ohio District to represent them
in the Thirty-fifth Congress, Mr. Pendleton
t sing first elected to Congress at tho same
time from the First District. Mr. Grocsbeck
served but one term, aud was on the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. In the winter
of 1860 he was a member of the Peace Con
ference at Washington, and was elected the
next year to the Ohio State Senate. Although
Mr. Groesbfck has for many years been well
known in his own State, he had not acquired
a national reputation until the accident of
Mr. Black’s withdrawal from the impeach
ment case supplied the opportunity of which
he has made so splendid a use. The Demo
cratic party lias many gifted men who, like
him, are just entering on their vigorous
prime; and when the party comes into power
there will be a harvest of talents into the na
tional counsels.—N. Y. World.
