A RICH PIECE OF LEGISLATION.
The Detroit Free Presa says :
"The riche; .t piece of legislation
was thc adopt-on by the House of the
following preamble and resolution,
introduced by Rollins, of New Hamp?
shire :
" 'Whereas, house rents are high
and means of educating colored
children limited, therefore,
'Resolved, That a tax of twenty per
cent, be imposed on rentals which
exceed $600, to be applied to said
education.'
"It is hard to tell which to admire
most in this, the clear appreciation of
cause and effect which associated high
rents with negro education, or the
financial acuteness which devised the
plea of cheapening an item of do?
mestic expense by taxing it. Either
is worthy of the present half-crazed
Legislature of the nation."
From Japan we learn that thc two
treaty ports of Riago and Ossaca have
been thrown open to commerce ac?
cording to agreement. The opera?
tions of the combined fleets of Eng?
land, France and Holland appear to
have brought about this result.
In India there are fears of famine
in Bengal, and of warlike trouble in
Affghan and along thc Punjaub fron?
tiers.
Sir Rutherford Alcock, the Bri?
tish Ambassador in China, is
pushing forward to Pekin without
obstruction. His object is stated to
be to obtaiii authority to construct
an English railway in the Celestial
empire, running as near to the capi?
tal as possible.
The late late Judge Collamcr used
to give the following order of busi?
ness in the United States Senate:
' -First, " said the Judge, "have a
prayer by the chaplain; next the
reading of the journal; then Wilson
introduces a bill; then Sumner makes
a classical speech; then Fessenden
gets mad, and then the Senate ad?
journs. This order has undergone
very little change since Judge Colla
mer's death. First, prayer; next,
reading the journal; then Wilson in?
troduces a bill; then Sumner makes
an assaidt on the President; then
somebody proposes to amend the
Constitution, and then Senate ad?
journs.-Chicago Post.
The Nashville Union and American
says: "If Andrew Johnson, as Presi?
dent of the United States, upheld by
the conservative sentiments of the
country, doesn't succeed in defeating
the radical disunionists in Congress,
and their aiders and abettors in Ten?
nessee, it will be the first fight in
which he has ever engaged that he
didn't come out best. He is a host
within himself, but, thrice armed in a
just quarrel, he will prove invincible.
Mark the prediction and stand from
under."
THE MILLENNIUM.-The Charlottes?
ville Chronicle concludes a disquisition
on the millennium question with the
following practical application :
"If weean get the millennium, how
contemptible the Northern radicals
will appear, and how little shall we
regard their interminable amend
rr^nts to theJTederal Constitution!"
|fc^30^*r?i?nl^oi it, Messrs. Radi?
cals! How will you feel if the mil?
lennium should come and catch you
at your present work?

The Captain-General of Cuba has

Advices of a late date are to the
effect that the Secretary would pro?

therefrom.
BAD PROSPECT FOR THE FREEDMEN.
Hon. John Bell advances the "rea?
sonable conjecture," that, at the end
of the next twenty years, the negro
population of the South will have di?
minished from 4,000,000 to 500,000,

Since August last, the Treasury De?

TUMBLING.-The Raleigh Progress

NEW YORK, Januarv 2G.-Cotton steady
at 47?48c, chiefly latter. Gold 39L
BALTIMORE, January 21.-Flour dull.
Wheat scarce. Corn firm -white 90c. Oats
dull. Provisions quiet. Coffee inactive.
Sugars dull. Whiskey unchanged.
NEW ORLEANS, January 19-11 A. M.
The cotton market appears to be unusually
quiet, and thus far tho sales havo been
confined to 100 bales, at yesterday's pries,
and two or three other small lots at ab t
the same rates. Thero seems to bu a
general inclination to await tho later ac?
counts from Liverpool, now fully due. They
may bri ig a response to thc short receipts
at this port (11,271 bales) for tho week
ending on the 14th ult. Our quotations
last*fcvcning were 40@42c. for ordinary; 45
@46c. for good ordinary; 47?48c. for low
middling; and 50c. for middling.
Thc demand for sugar and molasses, no?
ticed yesterday, has altogether subsided,
and tho market is nearly at a stand-still to?
day, there being no buvers at previous
figures. The supplies, though not large,
arc fair, but consist mostly of tho lower
grades, which are not wanted. Thc sales
to-day are. confined to 21 hhds. good fair
sugar at 144c. ^ lt>, and 101 bbls. molasses
within the rango of Yesterday's prices
common, 65(i?;70e.; good to prime, 75@85c;
choice, 90fi?.'.)5c. gallon.
AUGUSTA. January 24.-There was some
little inquiry for cotton, and a few sales
were effected at lower prices. Wc quote
middlings 40<7i,:41c, and good middlings
42c. The market is, however, generally
dull, and holders are not. w.liing to sell at
above prices, while buyers do not show a
disposition to offer more, owing to the de?
cline in Northern and European markets.
The prcsenc stagnation cannot continue
for any length of time. The markets
abroad have received only a temporary
check Cotton is bouud to advance. The
demands of European and Northern manu?
facturers must be supplied, and the efforts
now being made to forestall tho Southern
markets cannot he of long duration.
