-The grain trade o* New Orleans is largely
increasing. The elevator at that city is one of
the largest as yet built, and long tows of barges

The Western papsrs are seriously alarmed at

nestly calling for a reduction of charges on the
transportation of grain.

ten thousand baptismal washings; yea, if teing
anchored, with a millstone tied to his neck, in

the devil, amid all his culinary, sinner-cooking
Apparatus, needn't despair."
-Tbe Washington correspondents say that
the present members of the Cabinet intend to
hold on to their positions until Congress meets.
In the meantime, Mr. Sumner is said to be
oastinp his eyes toward the State Department,
and Edwin M. Stanton is spoken of for the
Treasury Department by prominent Radicals,
who, while they are satisfied with Boutwoll's
politics, think he lacks force. It is said that

shoat the Cabinet has for its ultimate object
tbe displacement of some of tbe present. Cabi?
net officers to make way for more pronounced I
Radicals, like Sumner and Blanton.
-Borne of the hereditary legislators of Great

-\ new movomont is said to bo on foot in
Washington, which, if successful, will mate- J
rially strengthen the Cuban cause. Says the
Travoller correspondent : "Proniiuent Ameri?
cans aro endeavoring to induce tho President
to take Homo stop or make a declaration
showing hiB approval of the annexing of the
leland of ?3'. Domingo to the United States,
and that he is in sympathy with any move?
ment which has this objoct in view. This
would be merely an open declaration on
the part of the President of what ho
does not hesitate to admit in private
conversation,. and making, to a certain
extent, an official announcement of those
views. When this is done, it is claimed by
those who aro urging this course, thal Presi?
dent Baoz, of the St. Dumingo Republic, will
at once recognize tho belligerency of Cubans,
and extend such aid as will insure their suo
oess in obtaining their independence. As the
island of ot. Domingo is but a few hours sall
from Eastern Cuba, whore tho insurrection is
tho strongest, it would give the insurgents a
strong.foothold from whioh to ship munitions
of war, and commit depredations upon the
Spanish commerce with email vessels, which
could run out and in the harbors at pleasure.
This plan, it seem?, was proposed several days
ago, but kept secret from fe%r it would be
frustrated. Whether it is successful or not, per?
sons well-informed as to Cuban movements as?
sert, with great confidence, that St. Domingo '
will soon recognize Cuban belligerency.*

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 14, 1869.
The Triple Alliance.
A London dispatch to the New York Tri?
bune says that initiatory steps have been
taken for an alliance, both offensive and
defensive, between England, France and
Spain, against the United States; this meas?
ure being taken in view of the rejection of
the Alabama treaty, the tone of Sumner's
speech, the filibustering tendencies of
Grant's administration, and the reported
connivance of the United States authorities
with the expeditions against Cuba. This
dispatch is entitled to consideration, be?
cause it is sent, to a journal whioh has never
made a practice of oooking up highly-Bpi ced
foreign news for the sake of an ephemeral
notoriety. The foreign correspondence, of
the Tribune is 'both able and trustworthy,
and it may be taken for granted that it is
believed in the London office of that paper
that the new triple alliance is in procees of
formation.
But there is a broader and more emphatic
reason why such an alliance may be looked
for. If there is any virtue in senatorial
speaking, in newspaper writing, and in the
popular sentiment whioh is moulded by the
press, England will, sooner or later, be
forced into a war with the United States.
This must be as plain at the Court of St.
James as it is under the shadow of the
dusky Goddess Of Liberty who broods over
the Federal capital. And it is equally evi
I dent that it ie the desire of the United Stataa
-co-make war on England alone. Franoe has,
in every instance, escaped the opprobrium
whioh has been heaped upon "perfidious
"Albion." Her Majesty's Government re?
cognized the Southern Confederacy as a
belligerent power. Napoleon proposed to
recognize the independence of the Confede?
rate States. Earl Russell-a weak and ir?
resolute politician-allowed the golden op?
portunity to pass, and Franoe was not
strong enough to act alone. Yet lhere are
sweet words and honied phrases for the
Toileries, while Sumner's declamation and
Chandler's abuse are all that is vouchsafed
Great Bru???.
It is, then, manifestly to the interest of
the English Government to form an alliance
whioh will make her so strong that a war
with her would be hopeless and ruinous.
Thero is enough oonoeit in the universal
Yankee nation to goad on the Sphinx-like
Grant Co a war at any price. But with
Franoe at her back, England has nothing to
fear, and Spain, which is oheated and bam?
boozled at every turn by the Grant admin?
istration, would find in a coalition with
England and Franoe full security for Cuba,
and an armor of proof to defend her from the
ill concealed enmity of the United States.
Glancing over the field, then, it is safe to
say that a triple alliance, such as that spo?
ken of in the Tribune dispatch, would be,
foi England and Spain, a master stroke of
policy, while it would not in any way inter?
fere with the purposes of Franoe. This
being the case, it is fair to assume that
there is some foundation for the startling
rumor whioh in New York is "generally
"disbelieved."
In th? meanwhile, every Southerner
should wat oh the politioai horizon with a
oalm and steady eye. We know not what
might be the final result of a war between
the Government of the United States and
the three powers; but it is the part
of wisdom to keep our house in order
and be ready- to meet every issue that
may arise. Our people now should be ohary
of contracting debts and of increasing their
outstanding engagements. The first seri
OUB talk of a war would drive gold out of
sight, and in the course of the war the his
tory of the Confederate currency would bf
repeated. We must live quietly, and, as
fai as possible, within ourselves. Especial
attention should oontinue to be given to
raising breadstuffs. No opportunity should
be negleoted of increasing our manufaotu
ring oapaoity. Our aim should be to make
the South as far as possible independent
?o that if the war oloud does burst over this
country, we may be in a position to ride
out th? storm with but little loss, and be
able to take every proper advantage of th?
ohanoes and oontingenoUs of the future.
TIM Savannah and Charleston MailroaUl
We are requested to say that the Courier
was premature in announcing on Wednes
day that a contract had been perfected for
the rebuilding of th? Savannah and Charles?
ton Railroad from Coosawhatohie to Sa?
vannah. The oontraot at that tina was not
signed; but we are authorized to say that
ls now excouted, and* that Charleston will

The elections which lake place on Sun?
day, May 26, are causing deep excitement
in France, and four meetiugs in P?ris of a
political character have been dispersed by
the police. As was' expected, the opposi?
tion to tho government in the capita) and
the ohief cities is more aotive than ever be?
fore ; but, so perfeot is the machinery of
the government, and so great the iufluenoe
exercised by ItB officials, that it will be
almost impossible for a. oaudidate in the
rural districts to obtain more than a re?
spectable majority. The Emperor, in re?
moving the restrictions upon the employ?
ment of workingmen, and in decreeing a
pension to the surviving veterans of the
Empire, has struck high for popular sup?
port ; for Napoleon is shrewd enough to
know that the intelligent portion of the
people are becoming weary of his system of
personal government, and that i* ia time tc
concede to them a larger abare of power and
restore at least the form of parliamentary
freedom. This oau only be done in a legis?
lative assembly which om be relied on
never to exercise its privileges in persist?
ent opposition to his interests and will.
Henoe his efforts not to secure a govern
meat success, which is certain, but to pre
vent the opposition from adding to their
strength by electing additional members
THE LONDON TIMES, of the 29th ult., has a
loader commenting upon the appointment of
Mr. Motley and the proposed renewal of nego?
tiations on the Alabama claims. The oable
briefly r iferred to this article a few days ainoe
in such terms as to exoite muon anxiety to eeo
the article in full, on the part of the mer?
chants, bankers and others, whose interests
are more or lesa influenced by the discussion
of the question. The article is in good tem?
per throughout, though the regret ia repeat?
edly expressed that tho John son-Stanley treaty
was not accepted by the Americans,- "especial?
ly aa Mi. Seward (aa keen a diplomatist as any
country could desire) had accepted it as a dual?
ity." Had the result been otherwise, the edi?
tor intimates, ''the United States would have*|
obtained a treaty which a good many English
people thought to involve excessive conces?
sions on out* part." The artiole concludes aa
follows : "If we are invited to discuss tho
question of England's right to recognize the
Southerners as belligerents, it Will bo for her
Majesty's Government to decide whether, after
all that baa been said and written on the sub?
ject, it is worth while to revive that contro?
versy. There are limits beyond which national
courtesy cannot pass, and when we are asked
to acknowledge that an ordinary act of national
sovereignty, necessary for the due security of
our own commerce, wu au offence against the
Americans to be expiated by apologies or
payments, there cannot be much uso in dis?
cussion."

FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON8 :
1st Because it is a home institution m ?UL ged and

2d. Because it ls the ouly monied institution of
the kind that loans its funds tn the states from which
they are derived.
3d. Because it is purely mutual; all policyholders
share tu its profits or earnings. Its large sud in?
creasing assets belong exclusively to the policy
holders.
4tu. Because Its rates are 1" wer than those of most
other companies. And Its dividends will be larger.
5th. Because it invests its fuuds at rates of interest
averaging ten per cent., while Eastern comp mies'
rates average less than seveu per cent. This makes
the dividends of the Associ?t'on larger and the rates
of premium smaller. One hundred dollars improved
at six per cent, lor fifty i ears will amount to $i,842ol.
The same amount invested at ten per cent, will pro?
duce $11.739 09. Difference iu fivo: ol' tho teu per
cent, investment $9,897 08.
6th. Because you ought to insure in a successful in?

tion of its age in the United States.
