Whereupon Mr. Cox re marked that he had upon his side the intellect, courage and piety of tho Empire State of the South.” Cox is generally very happy in his remarks, and in this instance he made as good a hit as usual—Hill being one of the most intellectual men of the House, Smith having been a gallant soldier, and Felton being a distinguished preacher. Tho Indianapolis Sentinel looks into tho future, and observes : “The time of the administration of General Grant will be known in the future as the age of magnificent stealing by Government officials, and the carni val of crime in high places, instead of the age of peaee and prosperity which would have followed tho war with an intelligent and honest Gov ernment.^’ It is announced by a dispatch of the 20th from San Francisco that the “great race” will certainly come off on the 2*2d of February. There are nine entries, aud tho purse will bo $30,000. Several of tho horses most distinguished on the American turf are entered, and the race will certain ly be a very interesting and perhaps a memorable one. It is a four-mile running race.

Below wo append tho resolutions offered in tho Senate of the United States on Monday last , hy Mr. Mc- Donald of Indiana, as a substitute for those of his colloaguo, Mr. Mor ton, on the subject of the status of tho Federal and Htato governments. After our article of Friday last, mak ing somo strictures on Mr. Morton’s resolutions, It is hardly necessary for us to say that we heartily approve those of Mr. McDonald. There is not a sentence In them to which we do not give full assent, and Indeed there are very few propositions In them not distinctly laid down or clearly indicated in our article of Friday. Upon tho subject of the re spective rights and the political re lations of tho States and the Fedoral Government, Democrats all over the Union are entirely agreed, and this Is the general bond of union between them that must hold them together even when they differ upon questions of administrative policy. The great fact that one of the political parties of this country Is a party of centrali zation and consolidation, while the other esteems the undelegated rights of tho States and tho people as the very foundation of our whole fabric of government, cannot fail to estab lish the main dividing lines of our party organizations. Mr. McDon ald’s resolutions are very opportune as a declaration of the pilaciples of onoof the parties in a contest involv ing the re-assertion of the rights of the States and the people, of late years most outrageously trampled upon. Morton’s resolutions, being their very antithesis, meet this issue pretty squarely, and if his party fail to support them, it must bo because they are afraid to make their pro fession conform to their pructico— which Morton, it seems, is not afraid to do. In regard to Mr. McDonald’s last resolution, wo may say that there will bo no opposition to it from the South. Those of our people who prior to 1801 insisted upon secession as a peace able right of the States, now ac quiesce in the settlement of tills ques tion by the war. The Democrats of Alabama have lately, by a unani mous vote, sustained the .declaration of Mr. McDonald’s resolutions on this point, and in their decision the Democrats of tho other Southern States concur. There was always a lurgo party of us at the South who never regarded secession as a consti tutional or pertinent remedy. But wo lookod upon tho right of revolu tion, when grievances became un bearable, as an unalienated and iu alionuble right of every poople—as a right which the framers of the con stitution could never have thought of repudating so soon after they had successfully asserted it. Morton himself does not venture to deny this right in his resolutions, and no mere declaratory announcement can re pudiate or dostroy it. Tho followiugaro the resolutions of Mr. McDonald: Resolved l>y tho Senate, the House of Representatives oonourring, That tlie peo ple of the United States constitute a nation and aro one people in tho manner only and to tlie extent provided for in tho Federal Constitution and the amendments thereto. Resolved, That the United Colonies de clared and achieved their independence, and the Federal Constitution was framed and adopted by the several States former ly comprising tho confederacy, and called tlie Umtod Slates of America,tlie chief pur pose of which was to form a more perfect union, establish justice, iusuro domestic tranquility and provide for the common defense and tho powers not delegated by it to the United States, nor prohibited bv It to tho States, wore reserved to tho States respectively and to the people. Resolved, That as the States were, at the time of tho fo-matlon and adoption of tlie Federal Constitution, each sovereign, free and independent, except in so far only as such sovereignty had boon expressly delegated to tho Congress by tho articles of confederation, tho rights reserved to the States and to the people in tho forma tion of tho Fedoral Government wore sov ereign rights which cannot be impaired without usurpation, and the only sure rule by which to administer tho Federal Gov ernment with respect to tho rights of tho States and people, is a strict construc tion of the Federal Constitution and tho amendments thereto, and tho assumption of no doubtful powers. Resolved, That in tlie formation of tho Federal Government it was the clear de sign to leave oaeh State, and tho people thereof, sovereign as to all matters of lo cal or domestic conoern, and to confer upon the Foderal Government sovereign powers as to such matters as might affect the general welfare of all the States, or as might bo necessary to secure domestic tranquility, which powers aro deiiuod in the Federal constitution and its amend ments. Tho people of tho United States, therefore, from the nature and character of their governments, State and national, and from their relation to each other, are not a national unity iu tho ordinary sense of that term. Resolved, That it being tho design to make (lie government formed under the Federal constitution perpetual, the right of any State or any mimbor of States to secede from tho Union was not reserved, and so far as such right has been claimed to exist it should be deemed forever sot tled against it by the results of the late civil war. A DisPATcn announces that Gov. Chamberlain, of South Carolina, re fuses to commission Whipple and Moses, the two obnoxious Circuit Judges elect in that State. Their re cent election raised quite a storm of disapprobation, in which the best portion of tho Republican party of South Carolina participated, and Chamberlain belongs to that portion of the party. To show the depth of tho feeling thus aroused, we make the followiug extract from the Colum bia Union-Herald: “From one end of the country to the ot her South Carolina Republican ism will once more become a steueh in the nostrils of men of all parties. This will be deemed of little amount at present by the poor fools who have signed the death-warrant of the party in the State, but in that near and cer tain future, when in degradation and despair they learn the bitter lessons of adversity, it will be seen by them that their’ misfortunes come from themselves. They will see that no man, no party, no State can resist the awful power of public opinion.” Tho Indianapolis Herald says: “The man who designed our State seal is dead. In the language of the Dutch poet, ‘lt is well.’ Any man who would try to make people be lieve a full grown buffalo bull would deliberately rush up to a granger who was chopping down a tree at sun rise ought to die.” THE TIMES: THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 23, 187a. COTTON 111 I MM; IN IHIMMOrKI. It is no doubt known to our readers t hat for some years past cotton crops have been raised in a few of the coun ties of South-oastern Missouri. The culture has been upon too small u scale to affect materially, or even per ceptibly, tho amount of tho general crop or tho prices obtained for It. Still it does not disconcert us to see tho statement that this culture does not pay expenses there, because there is an extensive strip of country along tho same line of latitude in which cotton can also be profitably raised if in the lower counties of Missouri, and there is evidently enough of it raised in the United .States now. But we cannot fully understand the cal culations by which the Missourians satisfy themselves that they cannot pay expenses in raising cotton. The following is tho statement of the Stoddard County (MoJ Messenger us to tho cost of cultivating twelve acres in cotton there: “Labor of one man for four months, witli board, SIOO. horse and feed S4O, rent of ground S4O, picking 1800 pounds per acre at ono cent a pound s2l(l—total cost $3%. Tho product will be half a bale to tho acre, or six bales for the twelve acres. Estimating 500 pounds to the bale, at lie. a pound the proceeds will be $330, or SOO less thun cost.” . It appears from this that one man and one horse made 6 bales of cotton, of 500 pounds each, in four months— all except tho picking out. Tho cost, $25 a month, for the man’s wages and board, was not greatly moro than that paid by Southern planters for negro labor, and the price of horse feed must have been less in Missouri than in Gcorj/la—so that there could have been no great difference in these two items of expense, taken together, in tho two sections. The Missourian figures out a failure to pay expenses; yet most Southern cotton planters making six bales by the labor of one man and one mule, would have made money at 11c. per pound. They must either have very clum sy cotton pickers in Missouri, or they pay very high wages for cotton pick ing there. One cent per pound paid for picking seed cotton would reverse the balance with Southern planters also- amounting as it does to moro than one-fourth the value of the seed cotton. But here again we cannot understand the Missourian’s figures. If he picked 1800 pounds of seed cot ton from each of the twelve acres, he ought to have made twelve bales, in stead of six, from his twelve acres, unless they have a very peculiar kind of cotton in Missouri. Eitherwe must double the proceeds of the Missouri an’s crop, or we must deduct one-half tho amount (S2I6J charged to account of picking the cotton; ami cither of these operations would exhibit a profit instead of a loss from his cot ton planting. Wo concludo that tho Missouri edi tor did not understand tho subject he was writing about. Ho could probably state much more accurate ly the cost and profit of hog raising. We thought tliat it was coming, and here it is. A pica of insanity has been ontered for Charles Fisher, Assistant District Attorney at Wash ington, who is charged with abstract ing court papers. What a wonder that the parties convicted as mem bers of the St. Louis whiskey ring did not think of the plea of Insanity! V. I*. Wilson’s Successor. The resolution of Senator Ed munds requiring the Senate to elect a President pro ton. on the 7th of January is an interesting one. It involves tho question whether or not there is a President of the Senate within the moaning of tho Constitu tion and the law; it involves the pos sible succession to the Presidency of the United States; it touches the con stitutional rights of the Sneaker of the House and of Senator Ferry; it relates to the temper of the Senate concerning Senator Ferry and his views. There can bo but littio doubt that, tho President pro ton. of the Senate holds that office during the existence of the body which elected him. That is in accordance with leg islative usage. That was tile inten tion of the Senate when it elected him. Ho wasn’t elected for a day, but for the Forty- Fourth Congress. We know of ho precedent antagonizing this view. But does he succeed to the perma nent President of the Senate ? If he is tho lawful “President of the Sen ate” to-day, of course no other man can be lawfully elected to that posi tion. He is entitled to his rights as the occupant of tho place to which ho was chosen. The fact that when ho was elected the Senators did not anticipate the death of the Vice Pres ident, cannotenter the discussion. It is said that this movement for the election of a President pro ton. is for the purpose of displacing Ferry, not for making his position more secure and his succession to the highest office in the event of tho President’s deatli more certain. The resolution singu larly calls for the election of a “Pres ident pro tern.” There is already a President pro tern., and if lie is iiot “President of the Senate,” recog nized by the Constitution and tho law, no “President pro tern.” that the Senate might elect would be. If there is no “President of the Senate” on the death of the President of the United States tho Speaker of tho House becomes President of the United States, and this fact can not bo changed without changing the law of the land. Have the Senators the right to choose a “President of the Senate,” strictly speaking? Was it intended that the possible naming of a President should be left to the United States Senate? Was it not meant that the Speaker, tho head of the representative body of the coun try, should be President in ease of the death of tho President and Vice- President?—Cincinnati Enquirer. Territorial Government. It is un derstood in Washington that the del gates from tho different Territories will endeavor this session to amend the general law relating to their gov ernment so as to make the principal offices, now iu the gift of the Presi dent, elective. A couple of years ago, in a spasm of reform, the President promised that he would, whenever possible, select the Territorial officers from among the actual residents of the Territories; but tLis policy was soon reversed, and the Administra tion returned to tho old system of quartering decayed politicians upon them. It is argued that if the Terri tories are allowed to choose t iieir own officers, the management of their af fairs will be greatly improved, and many abuses, which it is now impos sible to remedy, will bo corrected. It is probable that a bill looking to this end will pass the House. l.nrendH of G<-ncU. Mr. George Smith, who had charge of the expedition sent to Assyria by the London Telegraph, has been busi ly engaged since his return in arrang ing the inscriptions ho found buried in Chaldean, uud Assyrian mounds. With several small pieces in the British museum collection ho has succeeded in obtaining a continuous scries of legends giving tho history of tlie world from the creation down to some period after the fall of man. Linked with some of these he also found other legends on primitive his tory, including the story of the build ing of the tower of Babel and of tho confusion of tongues. Mr. Smith will publish u full account and trans lation of these Genesis legends. In a recent letter to the Telegraph he save: The narrative on the Assyrian tab lets commences with a description of the period before the world was cre ated, when there existed a chaos of confusion. The chaos is presided over by a female power named Tisa lat and Tlaruat, corresponding to the Thalaith of Berosus; but as it pro ceeds tho Assyrian account agrees rather with the Bible than with the short account from Berosus. We are told, in the inscriptions, of the fall of thocelestial being who appears to cor respond to Satan. In his ambition lie raises his hand against the sanc tuary of the God of heaven, and the description of him is really magnifi cent. This rebellion leads to a war in heaven and tho conquest of tho powers of evil, the gods in due course creating the universe in stages, as in tho Mosaic narrative, surveying each step of the work and pronouncing ft good. The divine work culminates in tlie creation of man, who is made upright and free from evil, and en dowed by the gods with the noble faculty of speech. The Deity then delivers a long address to tho newly created being, instructing him in ail his duties and privileges, and point ing out the glory of iiis state. This condition of blessing does.not last long before man, yielding to tempta tion, fails; and the Deity then pro nounces upon him n terrible curse, invoking on his head all the evils which have since afflicted humanity. The Blackberry Trade. Tho Nashville American says one hundred thousand pounds of dried blackberries have been shipped from that city this year. The prices paid rangod from six to ten and a half cenls, generally advancing half a cent at a time. Over $l,lOO was paid to one man tills year by one dealer for 11,3(12 pounds of berries gath ered for him. The American adds: Tho pickers, instead of remaining idle, tackled all tlie blackberry bushes near and far, and made money as long as there remained a berry on them. On every farm in the county, where blackberry bushes are found growing, they are cut down to give room for corn, grain, etc. The farmer thinks he is making money by so doing, yet if the ground lie of a sterile character, and the grain, etc., does not grow well thereon, it would have been much better to have allowed tho bushes to remain and lino the domestic purse with dollars realized from the sale of tlie berries. When carefully dried, blackberries are said to retain their original taste better than any other fruit. It only requires a careful con sideration of the above facts, by our friends in the country, to realize their truth. They should reflect, and when summer comes again, keep an eye on the blackberry crop. The Proposed Compromise. -The Western Democrats propose to com promise, and are willing to meet their hard-money brethren of the East half-way. All they insist on is a repeal of the Resumption Aot,no further contraction, the substitu tion of greenbacks for National Bank bills, and the taking of greenbacks at tlie Custom-house for revenue. But at the latest advices the Eastern Democrat was peering through his spectacles with intense anxiety to discover where the compromise comes in. He can not see it.—New York Graphic, Ilep.
