A New I’ork letter of Monday says:
"It in u estimated that by the middle of
April Liverpool will have a stock of cot
ton amounting to 1,000-000 bales, the lar
gest stock known in that market since
1860. It is this heavy weight of cotton
that keeps prices from advancing to meet
the American market and keeps back also
any favorable influences from our light
receipts. Cotton has gone forward more
rapidly this year than fur many years
past, and this is why Liverpool is getting
her maximum so early.
We copy some comments of the
National Republican, of Washington
city, oq the inaugural address of
President Hayes. We deem them op
portune at this particular time, when
movements at Washington indicate
a wavering or weakness of Hayes in
the maintenance pf bis ‘‘Southern
policy. ” The Re]mbHrnn is Consider
ed the organ of the now administra
tion, 03 jt was of Grunt’s. Could the
inaunfutal, 'its interpreted and ex
plained by that paper, have been
more expliolt in promising that the
people of Louisiana should be per
mitted to decido for themselves
whioh of the contesting governments
in their State was their choice? It is
understood that the article which we
copy was written by Stanley Mat
thews, and was inspired by the Pres
ident himself. The reader, after
carefully considering it, will seo how
basely the President must violate
his promises if he now intervenes by
military foroe in the contests of .Lou
isiana and South Carolina.
The Financial Chronicle contends
that money can bo made by raising
cotton at present prices, and cites
instances. But tbo Chronicle under
sUipds f that this caunot be done
by raising cotton alone, and it gives
the cotton growers advico which may
he summed up briefly us follows:
First. ‘‘Drive your own plow,”
which ujjans attend to your own
Corn, small grain and provisions. By
g thus© rules, tho Chroniote
bat 'American cotton can defy
competition both in price and staple.

added, aro gradually learning this
lesson by bitter experience. Their’s
has been a hard struggle; but with
qf g<*os lqc*i govern

somewhat recover from tho disas
tletus effects of the great devolution
through whioh they have passed.
6tiif dispatches from Washington
say that the status quo will b 8 main
tained in Louisiana. In reference to
that constructive situation, the New
Orleans Democrat of Wednesday
'■ yiaji of ceavefl; Gen.
Grant's last order distinctly swept
away all pretense of a mon
strosity* and now,
instead of the chaos of dual govern
ments in Louisiana, there ia but one
lawful aud constitutional govern
ment, which la iu the full exercise of
all the Powers of jgprernment, is able
toftixdlce 111 * its tuts, and neither
asks nor needs any recognition or
aid from the Federal Executive. All
that is asked or expected from that
power is that an Insurgent., impotent
aud insignificant squad of disturb
ers of law and order, be not enabled
by a certain quasi countenance of
United State* Eokliera, to set up in
our very AuiiUt a revolutionary ele

WEAKNESS OK TKKAITIF.HY.
We cannot yet toll whether the
resolution of the Presidents Cabinet
to Bend a commission to report on
Louisiana affairs means a re-consid
eration of the professed Intention to
letthe people ot that Htate make
their own local government, or
whether it signifies that tho admin
istration wants more time to settle
the difficulty In such a way as not to
antagonize the carpet-baggers of the
South and the extreme Rad
icals of the North. Either motive
is a discreditable one. The ques
tion whether the Federal Government
has a right, by military intervention,
to doaide a dispute ns to the lawful
government of a State, is a constitu
tional one. It Is not one that admits
of compromise or juggling in tho
Interest of any party. It has been
announced by the close friends of
tbe President that he disclaimed the
legal authority to interfere in that
manner, and that he recognized the
right of the State to decide the ques
tion for itself. This view is incom
patible with any delay, or with any
continuance Af unlawful Interference
in behalf of one of tho contesting
parties.
The honest and consistent course
for Mr, Hayes to pursue is either to
claim distinctly the right to interfere
by military power and make a State
government for the people of Louisi
ana, or to disclaim such power em
phatically and practically. If be in
tends to continue the usurpations of
the Grant administration, he should
say so at onoe, so that the people of
tho whole country may understand
what kind of a government they
live under. It is high time that this
question was settled, and It cannot
be settled by postponement, com
promise, or “waiting for something
to turn up.”
TUB HOVINCi COMMIMMIOK.
The game of Eight to Seven worked
bo successfully for the Radical party
that they propose to play the game
ot Two to One next, with Vice Presi
dent Wheeler as one of the Two-the
Bamo Wheeler who so artfully en
trapped the Democrats of Louisiana
two or three years ago. The big
Electoral tribunal having revised and
reversed tho action of the people in
the choice of a President and Vice
President, this little tribunal Is now
proposed to determine whether the
people of Louisiana and South Caro
lina may have the State governments
which they elected. That Is exactly
its mission, however ingeniously
circumstances may bo pleaded as
creating a necessity for it.
And the commission may stop in
the principal cities and enlighten the
people upon the new Southern policy
of the Administration! This is very
kind, though we may venture the
suggestion that, if it accords with the
constitution the Southern people al
ready understand and approve It;
and if it is “outside of the constitu
tion,” they want no light about it.
We hope that the commission will
everywhere bo courteously received
and attentively listened to, and if it
announces that the new administra
tion is determined to allow the peo
ple of the South local self-govern
ment, the Southern people will ap
plaud it; but that they will give it
distinctly to understand that this
right of the Southern States must be
acknowledged, or we will “let dis
cord reign forever.”
THK WASIIIXIITOY MONUMENT.
A DIVE UNDER ITS FOUNDATION.
Washington Csrrcgpundent Cincinnati Enq.J
In the midst of Babcock’s big nark
is that übused monument to Wash
ington. ono of the Instances of na
tional inconstancy. A few days ago
I was riding tnrough that new part
of the grounds, lovelv as some Ro
man ruin in the Cauipagna, and
there saw a few boys aud laborers
collected around a sort of covered
well just under tho immense marble
wall. As they were only live or six
feet high, and the structure already
stood one hundred and seventy-four
feet high and was fifty-live feet
square, I thought I never saw human
people look so insignificant. There
were six years of steady work and
$230,000 already iu that shaft, and
yet our Republican instability began
in 1854 to decay the work, and broke
it up, until Government stepped io,
during tho Centennial year, to re
lieve the people of their failure.
“What’s that you are looking at
down there?” said my companion to
ODe of the crew.
“A man.”
“What’s ho doing?”
“Feoliu’ for a hard bottom.”
Then we know that it was an en
gineering experiment to test tho as
sertion mat the foundation would
not hold the remainder of the shaft,
which is to be yet three hundred or
more feet high. Tho cost of the
shaft or obelisk complete would be
about $400,000 more. You can im
agine the weight, with walls from
two feet at tho top to fifteen feet
thick at. tho bottom, and a single oop-
I>er block from Michigan to go in one
place weighs one ton. Washington
himself approved of this site, which
is at right angle of two vistas, one
opening to the center of the Capitol,
the other to the center of the White
House, and the Washington Monu
ment is but a few rods from tho Po
tomac.
As we we were about to go away a
boy shouted:
“Mister, yer's this man come up?”
We went to the little yellow well
hole under that silent mainsail of
marble and saw an extraordinary
object. A creature, or rather mon
ster, was lying on its back, the head
part in a copper helmet, the eyes of a
goggjy green thickness, the shoul
ders plated with brass and the legs
with leather, while the feet were in
shoes of water-proof, large enough
for the feet of A cdlossal statue. A
voice came from under tho armor,
graveyard-like, and it said :
“I’ve been down thirty feet. The
gravel is good. It’s eight feet of
water in the well, and that took me
three feet under.” His pipe was
presently detached, his rivets uh
unscrewed, and there walked forth a
powerful laboring man, a little grog
gy on his legs, for air and warmth.
“I guess,” said he, when he was
provided with lighted tobacco, “I
guess Gineral Washington’s tomb
stone ’iL stand up on that tbair grav
el bottom.”
Probably it was this diver tho Cal
ifornia newspaper man saw come up
when he described seeing the petri
fied statue of General Washington.
Oath,
THE CABINET DIVIMION.
' i In—
Three Uidlnil and Three Conarrvallve
Kepiitillrans and Devenn.
A LITTLE MORE BACKBOXR NEEDED BY
THE PRESIDENT.
Special to N. 0„ Democrat,)
Washington, March 20, 11 :30 r. k.—
At the Cabiuet session to-day it was
develoi>ed that Hayes Is surrounded
by three different sets of influences—
the old Radical, bloody-sbirt influ
ence, represented in the Cabinet by
John Sherman, McCrary and Thomp
son ; the Conservative Influence, rep
resented by Schurz, Key and Evarts;
and the good-muured, compromise
influence, represented by Attorney
General Devens, and embodied in
himself.
Oa the question of Hayes' new
Southern policy, as a glittering gen
erality, the Cabinet was unanimous
ly in its favor; but when the question
turned on some practical step toward
carrying it out, the above indicated
division of opinion occurred. The
results of to-day's session may be
summed up in these words: Hayes’
new Southern policy was endorsed as
a sentiment, but temporarily, at least,
postponed as a practicality.
There was no time during to-day’s
session when one word of decision
irom Hayes himself would not have
settled every difficulty. He could
have spoken it easily enough; he
ought to have learned by this time
that he hus nothing to fear from tho
old Radical element, so long as he
has offices to give, but he certainly
yielded somewhat to-day ; he seems
to be afraid of Blaine, who is known
to be advising Packard's present
warlike demonstration, and who
threatens that if Hayes gives Pack
aril up to the fury of the “rebels,” as
he calls the people of Louisiana, bo
will lecture through every town in
the North on tho subjuct of "Our
Later Andrew Johnson. ’
On the other hand, Schurz, Evarts,
Stanley Matthews and Charles Foster
are uncompromising in the conserva
tive direction. Schurz and Evarts
vielded to-day, but have uo intention
of taking a back track. It may be
stated authoritatively that neither of
them will consent to remain Id the
Cabinet if Hayes does not fulllll to
the letter the pledges to the South
made by him iu his inaugural.
It must not be inferred that the
Radicals in the Cabinet—Shermuu,
McCrary and Thompson—are as bit
ter and extreme as Blaine. Nouo of
them ask or hope for the recognition
of Packard; they simply ask that
troops be not removed just yet, and
advocate sending a commission, to
consist, of one Radical, one Conserva
tive Republican and one Demo
crat,, South immediately, to examine
into the situation of Louisiana and
South Carolina. The inuin object of
these Radicals is to gain time, as
t.bey hope for a reaction in tho North
against Hayes’ Southern policy.
They hope, also, to force Schurz,
Evarts and Key out of the Cabinet,
and finally to got entire possession
of Hayes, after breaking up his pres
ent. incongruous arrangement.
To this end the Democratic influences
from New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania
are contributing to no small exteut —cer-
tain Democratic candidates for the Speak
ership, believing that the only way to
prevent the break up of the Democratic
House caucus is by defeating Hives’
Southern policy and tlins altogether
alienating the Southern Democrats from
him.
Schurz and Evarts intend to force
things to a speedy issue; they may con
sent to a commission to consist of Wheel
er, Foster and one Democrat going South
and reporting, but they will not consent
to anything that looks like a regonilionof
Packard ot an active success of his pre
tensions.
The fact is that Stanley Matthews and
Foster have been supplying Hayes with
backbone, but they are both absent, and
it may be necessary for both to return to
help Hayes recover his grip.
Buell.
Nutts AKalnst Ex-C oiilrderutrs.
From ike Richmond (Ya ) Dispatch.)
Suits have been entered in the Cir
cuit Court of the United States(Judge
Bond’s) against ex-Gov. Wm. Smith
for $15,000; Col. Shelton C. Davis,
Clerk of the Senate, for $1,000; Lieut.
Gov. H. W. Thomas, formerly second
Auditor, for $2,000; Col. Geo. W.
Muuford. $5,000; St. Leger L. Mon
cure, $2,000; ,T. L. Shackleford, $500;
Daniel Denoon, $500; J. O. Chiles,
$2,500; Judge E. H. Fitzbugh, $2,500,
and Philip F. Howard, $2,000, being
amounts, principal, interest, etc.,
of sums of monoy paid in coin to tbe
officers named from the State Treas
ury on the eve of the evacuation.
Some of the money was paid here,
some on the route by canal to
Lynchburg, and others at Lynch
burg—all by the disbursing officers
of the State Government. Tite Dis
trict Attorney has commenced
these suits in obedience to in
structions from Washington; aud
the reason they were not be
fore commenced, as stated, is that
sufficient evidence was not obtaina
ble until recently. The sums enum
erated are larger than those natually
received by the defendants. For in
stance, the amount Gov. Smith re
ceived was $5,000; Judge Fitzbugh
$1,000; Col. Davis S3OO, and so on.
Members of the Legislature got S2O.
The United States authorities claim
in the case of Gov. Smith that little
or no money was due him for services
by the State at that time. The U. S.
Government contends that it Is enti
tled by conquest and succession to
ail the assets of the Confederate State
of Virginia. The gentlemen most in
terested in this matter seem to have
no fears of the result. In many, if
not in most oases, it can be proved
that what was paid them in coin was
no more than was due them on sala
ry account. Judge Fitzhugh, in 1874,
turned into the treasury SI,OOO in
gold on this account, and had previ
ously Un 1865) offered it to Gov. Pler
pont, who declined to receive it,
alleging that his State government
was not the same as the Richmond
government.”
The Committee on Citlea.
The Committee on Cities in the
Legislature have at length concluded
to take up the report of the Special
Commission providing a plan for a
better system of municipal adminis
tration. They hold a joint meetiug
to-morrow to hear what is to be said
Tor and against it. With great pro
priety, ttie Municipal Reform Society
will send one of its ablest men to
urge the Committee to make a favor
able report, and to impress upon
them the necessity of prompt action,
in order that the necessary prelimi
nary action may be taken at this ses
sion to submit it as a constitutional
amendment. We do not see how
this Reform Association could do
less, seeing that as long ago as last
December it unanimously resolved
“that the Judiciary Committee be
requested to prepare and promote
the passage of a law, and if need be
a constitutional amendment, which
shall enable and provide for the
election by the tax payers of cities
and villages of a municipal body
which shall have the authority of de
termining the amount of taxes, the
salaries and the expenditures in and
for the local purposes of such cities
and villages respectively.” The Com
mittee in Cities cannot do better
than to accept this resolution as em
bodying the expectations and wishes
of the great body of the tax pavers.
Let them, therefore, bring the pro
grsed amendment fairly before the
ouee, and If that body choose to
assume tbe responsibility of post
poning it, on the plea that there is
not tlrue at. this session to consider
it, they will have a serious account
to settle with their constituents, wbo
In this matter, we are persuaded, are
In no mood now to be trifled with.—

Maine Barbarian*.
About fifty years ago a family
named Bubier went into the Maine
forest north of Lewiston and cut
themselves off completely from civ
ilization. Recently they were discov
ered by a correspondent of the Bos
ton Globe. Their hovels were scat
tered about in the patches of cleared
land which they had made. The
vagrant family had multiplied into
several families, including over fifty
persons, and was dwelling iu poverty,
ignorance, and sloth. The log houses
were unprovided with anything that
could contribute to human comfort.
There was bo furniture except blocks
and pieces of log. But ono person
could read, and he wouldn’t. Not a
book or a scrap of printed pu[er was
to be found iu the place. None of
the younger generation had ever been
to the nearest town. All were pro
foundly ignorant of the world, and
devoid of either religion or morality.
They obtained a precatious subsist
ence from such scantly crops as their
lazy habits prompted them to obtain,
and from the game of the forest uud
the fish of Dead river. In short, the
Rublers, under the influence of nature
and solitude, had relapsed into a
barbarism more depressing than
that of the savages that dwelt, in
ti.ose woods three centuries ago.
A New Motor.
Dr. Potter, of Griffin, according to
tbe papers, has invented an electric
motor which bids fair to supersede
the processes of steam. Ho hus sent
a model on to Washington, and will
follow in a few days himself. Dr.
Potter, it is stated, can generate
electricity with his motor in quanti
ties heretofore unparalleled, and
with this he proposes to decompose
water into a vapor or gas many times
more powerful than steam, and this
is to be used iu propelling machinery.
By the same motor ho proposes to
generate a burning gas, and with this,
as it is stated, the lights now so
costly will bo made very nearly as
cheap as moonshine. These, at least,
are the predictions, aud wo await the
result in patience, if not hope.—

Economy of the French.
Home aud Farm.]
The French butcher separates the
bones from his steaks, and places
them where they will do the most
good. The housewife orders just
enough for each person aud no more,
even to the coffee. If a chance
visitor drops in, somebody quietly
retires and the extra cup is provided,
but nothing extra by carelessness or
intention, when the little range is
extinguished, and waits for another
time. No roaring cook-stoves and
red-hot covers all day long for no
purpose but waste. The egg laid to
diy costs a little more thau one laid
lust week. Values are nicely estima
ted, and the smallest surplus is care
fully saved. A thousand little econ
omies are practiced, and it is res
pectable to practice them. Cooking
is an economical as well as sanitary
and gustatory science. A French
cook will make a franc go as far as
an Americon housewife will make
three, and how much further than
tho American Bridget nobody
knows—we should probably be
greatly astonished could the compu
lation bo made, how much of the
financial, recuperative powers of
France are owing to her soups and
cheap food; better living, after all,
than the heavy bread and grass
failures of our culinary ignorance.
An Uncivil Bank Teller.
The Boston Journal describes a little
Incident thus: ‘‘A few days since a gentle
man connected with one of the largest
sale manufacturing concerns in Boston
entered a bank, and presenting a check
lor SIOO, waited to receive the money.
The paying teller took the check, looked
at it and then at the gentleman, and toss
ing the check back to him, said very crutly,
‘I don’t know anything about you.’ ‘Well,’
replied the gantleman, ‘l’m pretty well*
known: there’s a man who knows me,’
pointing to the cashier. The party ap
pealed to identified the applicant, and
being informed that he was the person to
whom the check was made payable, the
teller accepted the’same and threw out a,
package of bills, which the applicant took
and stepping to a side desk began to couut.
A shade of vexation at the incivility ol
the teller, followed by a look of surprise,
was observed by the cashier, who inquired
if anything was the matter. ‘I should
say there was,’ was the reply; ‘my check
called lorslooand I have received $1,000.’
It was now the cashier’s turn to manifest
Bis chagrin that such a mistake should
occur. He, however, consoled himself
with the reflection that the money had
fallen into honest hands, which he was
prompt in declaring. The receiver re
turned to the teller, and, having ap
prised him of the mistake lie had made,
proceeded to admonish him of the danger
to which the funds of the bank were ex
posed by his carelessness paying SIOO
checks with packages of SI,OOO. The
gentleman also took occasi >n to read the
young man a lesson in civility; a cheap
commodity in which he was advised to
invest, lie then handed the teller S9OO
and left him in a state of painful confus
ion, from which he has not yet recovered
sufficiently to apol >gize for his rudeness
and acknowledge his obligation to the
gentleman for returning the amount over
paid.”
V
The official statistics as to the num
ber of killed and wounded in the Ger
man army during the war with
France is just published at Berlin.
The number of killed and wounded
was of officers 3,919, and of soldiers
60,978. The number of officers and
soldiers either killed or who died of
their wounds was 1,374 and 16,877 re
spectively. The proportion of the
killed to the wounded was 1 in 344 for
the officers and 1 in 5 for the men.
The majority of killed and wounded
belonged to the infantry, which lost
57,943, ns compared to 2,236 in the
cavalry and 4,266 in the artillery.
Oul.v 5,084 were killed or wounded by
artillery fire, as against 55.8G2 by
musketry; and, though artillery had
never been so much employed as in
the Franco-German war, 21 losses out
of every 23 on the Germun side were
due to infantry fire.
Hlllum'* In It.
From the Richmond Dispatch.)
Both Houses of the General Assem
bly have passed a bill incorporating
an association of Jennings estate’s
claimants. Should they get all the
money that is supposed to be due
them they will have some $400,000,-

knowing that ‘‘there’s millions in

one of the corporators and to insert
that of Mulberry Sellers. The House
declined to adopt the proposition.
