has always carefully provided for the wants of his employes, and paid thera a rate of wages fully up to the average in all the States. During the financial crisis of 1857 and 1858, say they, Mr. Ames not only helped himself through the difficulty, but aided his neighbors too. Mr. Ames' career as a member of Congress and as one of the most energetic men of the times, especially as demonstrated iu connection with the Union Pacific railroad, is fal miliar. It is not doubted that he was much troubled in mind by the Credit-Mobilier scandal, but his whole life has been one of contin^ ual mental exertion, and the strain had begun to tell upon him some time ago. To the Credit-Mobilier scandal and his connection therewith it is useless to advert. The death of such a man, however, after he had made so many thousands of dollars, is a sermon of itself. Reproaches, as to the way he obtained or used his money are unnecessary to make it 3 A-l impressive, lhere was as oaa men as v/aaca Ames in Congress. Bat that he is dead, let him rest in peace. State Treasurer's Report. The Columbia Union publishes a statement of receipts and expenditures at the Treasury of the State for the semi-fiscal year commencing November 1st, 1872 and ending April 30th, 1873, as furnished by Treasurer Cardozo. From this statement it appears that the total receipts have been 81,482,325.95, and the expenditures 81,480,705.83, leaving on hand a balance of 81620.12. In concluding his statement, the Treasurer says : "The above payments were made during the last six months; the services for the various accounts paid, however, extend over a period of eighteen months ; 8718,581.30 being on account of deficiencies of the fiscal year 1871-72, and the balance, 8762,124.53 on account of current expenses of the present fiscal year 1872-73. Of the amount $267,002.96 paid on account of free schools, 867,854.68 was paid for the fiscal year 1871-72, the balance, 8199,148.28 on account of the fiscal year 1872-73. Hon. N. G. Parker was Treasurer during the month of November, which is included in the above report; 813,578.15 was received during that month, and 810,980.51 expended." The Lunatic Asylum. M. Laborde, M. D., who for thirty years Ponnnf nf fVio Rtftfp "Lunatic Asvlura.but I n uo v va vuv ? y , though not now a member of the Board, has recently published a letter in the Columbia Phctnix in reference to the present management of that institution. Having always taken great interest in this branch of benevolent effort, and on account of his long connection with the Asylum, he conceives that his opinion is not without some value. He concludes his letter as follows: "My last visit was about a fortnight ago, and with the view of commending it to the favorable consideration of the people of the State, I must ask thus publicly to say that it is admirably managed by Dr. Eusor, its present Superintendent, and that in consequence of the liberal provision of the General Assembly, he has been enabled to make many most important improvements ; and when these are perfected, I am sure that the institution will compare mostfavorably with any in this country. I was particularly struck by the accommodations for the colored insane, which are now in no respect inferior to those for the white; the more complete classification of the patients, the more complete provision for their meals, and the more thorough warming and ventilation of the buildings. Long associated as I was, with the former Superintendent, Dr. Parker, and a willing witness to his peculiar fitness for his position, I must congratulate the friends of the insane, and the public at large, upon the fact that his successor is worthy of him, and alike entitled to their trust and confidence. Truly, in my judgment, we have 'the right man in the right place.'" Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CINCINNATI. Cincinnati, May 10, 1873. newspaper gossip. The daily press has become a power in the land, second to none. Oratory, formerly so potent to move the multitude, has to take a back seat, and even the pulpit finds its influence less than that of the press. It is the every day educator?the medium through which the world sees the world. The orator speaks to but a few hundred people at a time, and bis words perish as soon as uttered, unless the press comes to his aid and preserves them. But the writer who speaks through a daily newspaper talks to ten thousand intelligent beings, and his words do not perish on the ear, but live after him. To be at the head of a great daily is a position of far more responsibility and importance than to be at the head of a State. The one is an ornamental figure head' the other an educator of the people. The press is growing in importance daily. More capable men are hold of the helm than ever before. The newspapers, being the daily literary food of the people, are far better sup- j ported than formerly, and the conductors of them are, therefore, better able to pay for editorial brains of the first class. The best writers of the country are drifting into newspaper work. A first-class writer?especially one who is able to shove off a good deal of matter on short notice?receives much better pay from the newspapers for their work than they can from book and magazine publishers. It, therefore, naturally follows that the writing brains of the country are being gobbled by the newspapers. As an average, first-class newspaper men receive from fifty to one hundred per cent, better pay than five years ago. ] Writers of established reputation find no 1 trouble in marketing their productions at good figures, providing always, that they have the "knack" of writing for the newspapers, which every one does not have, I assure you. Clever newspaper writers are, like poets?born, not made. Also, like poets, they are seldom fit for anything else. And for this reason the "rehash of journal- j ism," recently established in Massachusetts, will be a failure. They are attempting to educate men to be editors up there, the same as they are educated for lawyers and doctors. It will not work. Outside of a newspaper office there is no place to teach journalism. ? J ~_i? ii flDU unless lue tttuumaic iUi juumaiii5t.iv, uvuors has the knack of quick observation and rapid composition, he will not be a success in the line, no matter how much he has dabbled in printer's ink and soft paper in his early days. I have never heard of but one graduate being turned out of the "school of journalism," and he went West and got work on a rural sheet at six dollars a week. Not being able to support himself on this allowance, he resigned his position and went into the lager beer business where he realizes seven dollars a week and board. Illustrating the rapid strides of the newspapers it is only necessary to refer to the late feat of the New York Herald, in employing four eminent writers to "do" the Vienna exposition, aud causing their reports to be forwarded by cable at an expense of not less than one thousaud dollars a column. Looking at the great world's fair through American eyes, they have John Russell Young, the brilliant journalist. For an English view they have Edmund Yates, the well-known novelist. From Germany they have employed two of the most eminent writers in the Fatherland. Their letters are forwarded by cable, first! published in German, and translated to Eng- j1 lish the following day. Of course all this means mouey, and a . good deal of it. Writers of such world-wide , reputation as the Herald has in Vienna can- j not be employed for a song. John Russell Youug they keep in Europe, by the year, at a salary of eight thousand dollars, gold. The New York Times has employed the leading newspaper correspondeut of the world to do its Vienna work. I refer to Dr. Russell. Russell is an able tnau, but an expensive correspondent. During the recent GermanFrench war, the New York Sun attempted to employ him, but drew off when they learned j that his bill would be one thousand dollars a week, in gold, and traveling expenses. The j Vienna exposition, however, being a peacea- ( ble concern, and no danger or hazard to run, j i as in war, it is likely that the Times gets the > I t -V Li. i ? I oenem 01 nis jauuu peii ul a icss uguiv. There are several newspaper editors and managers in New York city who receive salaries of ten thousand dollars a year. Henry Ward Beecher gets five thousand a year for his short articles in the New York Ledger, i It is his name more than what he writes that commands so high a figure, amounting, in the aggregate to about two hundred dollars a column for his productions. Editorial writers on the New York World receive salaries ranging from oue hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars a week. It is 1 regarded in some quarters, as the ablest edited paper in the United States. The 'Tribune editors receive from three to five thousand dollars a year. George William Curtis, of , Harper's Weekly, is said to receive a salary of ten thousand dollars. All these are fine salaries, but when it comes 1 to the ordinary run of reporters, the pay is meagre. On the New York dailies, reporters receive from eighteen to thirty-five dollars a week, the average being about twenty-five ( dollars. The New York Sun employs ell its i reporting done by the column. They pay ] eight dollars a column. One of their reporters told me tbfe other day that he sometimes made as high as ninety dollars a week, and then again not ten. When a man happens not to find anything to write about, of course he can't write. The Western papers pay nearly as good salaries as the New York papers. George ; Alfred Townsend receives from the Chicago Tribune five thousand dollars a year for his Washington letters, of which he writes about ? 1- TT_ ?1 ? IWO a WeeK. XltJ wums a guuu ucai iui njt New York Herald, and between the two makes about ten thousand dollars. The Cincinnati Commercial used to pay Donn Piatt one hun- , dred dollars a week for his letters, and they were well worth it. He is the liveliest correspondent connected with the American press. The army of telegraphers at Washington? i those who make up their dispatches for the 1 daily papers?receive salaries ranging from , fifty to one hundred dollars a week. The New York Tribune has three men there ; also, the Herald. The other papers have a less number. But the salaries of these men, in comparison to the telegraph tolls on what ! they send, are small. Press dispatches from i Washington to New York cost one cent a word. This may strike the reader as not being heavy; but a column or two, every day, at that rate, will soon amount to a large sum. < The papers here, however, have to pay much more?the rate from Washington to Cincinnati being three cents a word. The Commer- ! cial, of this city, pays out for dispatches about ; seven hundred dollars a week. The entire expenses of the paper amount to about one thousand dollars a day, but it has a large ; circulation, and brings its proprietors a clear i income of one hundred thousand dollars a year. The Sunday edition of the Commercial is the most profitable. For the past three Sundays its cash receipts for advertisements have been over a thousand dollars each day. The Chicago Tribune pays its proprietors a handsome income, amounting year before last, notwithstanding the fire, to one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. After the fire, one of the proprietors was complaining of feeling poor and "broke up." A sympathetic friend offered him two hundred aud fifty thousand dollars for his interest in the Tinbune, which was a sum sufficient, he thought, to give the poor fellow a start. But the J "poor man" would not take it, and he has not been heard to complain of his poverty since. Fire will not destroy a popular newspaper. The office, types, fixtures, and all concerned, i may pass away; but the good will remains, : and that is the most valuable part of a great daily. The Chicago Tribune probably could ' uot be bought for a million and a half of dol- i lars. A million would not touch the Cincin- I nati Commercial. It is not so easy to get an interest in an established newspaper as it used to be. It now takes money, and a good deal of it. The men who own the great dailies of the present day came into possession of their property by growth, rather than by purchase. : The time was when the Cincinnati Commercial could have been bought, lock stock and bar- , rel, for thirty-five hundred dollars. In its 1 early days?thirty years ago?it had a hard I struggle for existence, and came near yielding ' the ghost several times. The Enquirer and < the Gazette would not condescend to notice the young bantling j but they pay some attention to it now, as it has a larger circulation and a larger revenue than both of them put together. I have thrown all these facts about newspapers together, thinking they might be of interest to the intelligent readers of the Enquirer. In the future, I may have some- i thing more to say on the subject, but at pres-'! ent will not add to this already lengthy letter. I? nemo, i , PROSPECTS OF THE COTTON TRADE. |1 The future of this staple is a matter of great!1 moment, not only to the cotton trade, but also to the community at large ; and whether the crop is sold at an average price of say 20 cents or 15 cents, is a matter of considerable importance to every interest of the country. That the crop now being marketed, is a large j one there is no doubt. The estimates at the j ; South range between 3,750,000 bales and i 3,850,000 bales, while at the North they vary . ! between 3,800,000 bales and 4,000,000 bales. ! We always look to the South for the lowest i' estimate, and to the North for the highest;' j and probably the truth may prove to lie somewhere between these extremes. The statiscal ' position of the crop stood at the close of week I ( I before last as follows: The actual receipts of , j cotton at all the ports since September 1st, 1 have been 3,291,779 bales, against 2,545,622 ; j corresponding time last year, showing an in- | | crease of 656,157 bales. The receipts at the ? interior towns for the same time have been 826,549 bales against 738,592 same time last i, year, showing an increase of 87,957 bales. ; i i The stocks at all ports are 454,846 bales, j against 296,695 same day last year, showing j an increase of 158,154 bales; and stocks at < the interior towns 84,141 bales, against 39,130 in 1872, showing an increase this year of j 45,011 bales ; taken together, the stocks at the ports and the interior show on 538,900 bales, against 335,820 same time last year, giving an increase this year over last of 203,165 bales. 1 ' In comparing these stocks we must not over look the fact that planters and those interested in an advance of the staple, are holding, as far as in their power, their cotton on their plantations where it does not show in the counts taken of stock. The exports, although large, are not in proportion to the increased supply. They have been, since September 1st, 2,106,552 bales against 1,747,189 last year, when the exports for the entire cotton year were 1,957,314 bales. The amount of American cotton afloat for Great Britain is 226,000 bales, against 202,000 last year at the same time. The stock of American cotton in Liverpool is 313,000 bales, against 310,970 bales same time last year. The Liverpool movement shows an evident indisposition to load up with American cotton. That indisposition, however, may be quite as much the result of the general depression of the cotton trade as of a want of confidence | in the future value of our staple. It is not | unnatural, considering the present condition of manufacturing affairs in England, that Liverpool should keep a very cautious looknut upon the probable volume of the crop of 1872, and the prospects of the one just planted ; and the trade of that port may reasonably be expected to assume an attitude in favor of lower prices. It is, of course, too early yet to form any definite opinion about the probabilities of the new crop. We have takeu measures for collecting all the facts at present ascertainable on this point, and shall soon lay them before our readers. In the meantime it may be safely affirmed. 1. That the acreage planted with cotton this year is materially larger than thatof last year. 2. That, generally throughout the South, there has been an increased use of cotton fertilizers, the consumption apparently having been beyond all precedent. 3. That the weather has been on the whole favorable to getting in the crop in good condition. 4. That since the planting, the weath-1 er has been too cold, but the plant has not been sufficiently up to sustain any serious consequent injury. 5. That the-supply of labor is, on the whole, adequate to the needs of the planters. Up to this point, therefore, the probabilities point to an increased crop, assuming average conditions as to the weather, worms, labor, etcetera ; and an augmented crop has always proved to imply lower prices. The following table (taken from Our Annual for the year 1872) fully illustrates this point: Average Crop. Season of Value of Crop. Price.
