Sitarte for m Coito? Supply.
It is said that the Cotton Supply Asso?
ciation iu England ia proparing to make
great efforts to atina?MU? iii? growth und
trade in cotton from India. A resoldtion
was passed at a late meeting of this as?
sociation, to the effect that-the speedy de?
velopment of tho railway system in.JR-.
dia ia necessaryyin order to facilitate the
transportation of ootton in that country
?nd ibo importation of it into England.
The reason giren for this was the insuf?
ficiency of the supply from the United
States, and it is said the stock of Ameri?
can cotton is not large cnongh to keep
the mills of Lancashire fully engaged.
Hitherto the great efforts and vast ex?
penditure of mopey by England to moot
the falling off of Amoricau cotton con?
voquent upon the war, and the subse?
quent disorganization of labar, have not
been adeqnate to tho exigency, notwith?
standing the large inorease which has
followed the stimulated production in
India and Egypt. American ootton is
still indispensable. Oar long staplo es?
pecially, so far as is known, has no sub?
stitute in the world. There is a combi?
nation of nrtaral advantages here for its
production which is not believed to ex?
ist anywhere olso. The ootton manu?
facturers cf England have beon changing
their machinery to suit the short staple
article of ludia and other countries.
There will bo no necessity, however, for
suoh a resort, tho Baltimore Sun remarks,
if there oan be such a restoration of the
Southern States to their normal political
relations as will inspire confidence, in?
troduce rn pit ni. enough to enable tho
planters i . extend their planting opera?
tions, ana re-organize labor and render
it reliable. Efforts, as is well known, are
making to introduce in the South a large
emigre:ion of laborers from China, but
whether this shall provo successful or
not, there ia labor enough there now, if
relieved from tho demoralizing influences
of fntermeddling political adventurers,
to produce as largo a crop of cotton as
was raised in any year before tho war.
Now AND THEN.-The New York
World wonders why tho Bepublicans,
who glorify over the reduction claimed
to have been effeoted in the public debt
in the five months of the present Admi?
nistration, never have a word of praise
in behalf of tho reduction of $600,000,
000 effected iu tho three years after the
close, of tho war, and prior to tho inau?
guration of Gen. Graut. It cannot see
why Gen. Grant deserves any moro
praise for $43,000,000 ia five months
than Audrow Johnson for 8800,000,000 iu
three years and BOVOU mouths. It takes
off the Times on account of its laborious
efforts to make a great financier of the
President, and says:
"With the closing up of somo sources
of expenditure, which would havo re?
duced this year's surplus, General Grant
has had as little to do as with the in?
creased returns from customs and inter?
nal taxes. Such, for example, as the
328,649,157 last year paid out of the
Treasury in additional bounties to sol?
diers, of which President Johnson's Se?
cretary of War recommended in his De?
cember report that no more claims should
bo considered after March 4; such as
the Freedmen's Bureauwaste, the Alaska
purchase, and the Pacific Railroad bonds,
to say nothing of the discontinuance of
costly military government in .seven
States, or the rapidly diminishing pen?
sion list. As to these things, therefore,
in which the Times claims that General
Grant's work and recreations prove so
advantageous to the country, it turns
ont that his work hos had no effect what?
ever, and his recreations none, except
the cost of his junketing in the Tallu
poosa, whioh did not belong to him.'*'
A JUST TRIBUTE FROM A FOE.-The
following from the address of Governor
Chamberlin, at the late re-union of the
Army of the Potomac, in New York, is
both true and just to those "who fought
nobly and well." Alluding to the "rag?
ged rebe's" who stood at Manossas, at
Chancellorsville and Petersburg, the Go?
vernor says:
"That Army of Northern Virginia!
Who can help looking back npon them
now with feelings half fraternal? Bagged
and reckless, yet careful to keep their
bayonets bright and lines of battle well
dressed; reduced to dire extremities
sometimes, yet always ready for a fight;
rough and rude, yet knowing well how
to make a field illustrious. Who can
forget them--tho brave, bronzed faces
that looked at us for four years across
the flaming pit-men with whom in a
hundred fierce grapples wo fought with
remorseless desperation and all the ter?
rible energy of death, till on the ono
side and the other 250,000 fell, and yet
we never hated except that they struck
at tho old flag."
The dead body .of Mowry Iron.?, who
murdered his wifo on the 21st of Juue
last, at Burrillvillo, was found on Satur?
day at Providence, B. I., in a swamp
near the scone of the murder. Ho evi?
dently killed himself soon after killing
his wifo.
The tunnel under ihe Straits of Dover,
it is announced, has been reported
against by the commission of French aud
English engineers to whom tho subject
was referred.

appears in the National Republican at
Washington, of which the following is a
si g ai il eu ut extract:
"The system of putting the ballot-box
into the hands of the ignorant masses-no
matter of what origin, if continued, can?
not faill?~7??d lo"'v'e?y sertbusi if not
disastrous results. Congress will be re?
miss in its duty to tho country if early
action on the subject is neglected. It is
contended by many of our ablest men,
and with great force of argument, that
the best suffrage qualification, would be
'ability to read aud write the English
language correctly.* With this as the
universal qualification test iu all Federal
and State elections, the ballot-box would
bo protected against igoorauoo, and to a
very large extent against the possibility
of corruption." * * *
"It is objected that wo cannot deprive
any portion of our citizens of tho right
of suffrage atready granted to them.
There is no ground upon which to base
such a conclusion; but if eveu tho argu?
ment was sound it would afford no plea
against the proposed change in tho laws
governing tho right of suffrage Suppose
Congress, during tho next session,
enacted a sixteenth amendment to the
Constitution, requiring tho qualification
of 'ability to read and writo tho English
language correctly,' as tho condition of
a right of suffrage, to take effect in ono,
two, or any certain number of years
hence that might be agreed upon, and
called upon tho different States to ratify
their act, what State or class of intelli?
gent citizens would object to the propo?
sition? None whatever. Tho measure
would bo universally popular, as afford?
ing a check against that control of the
ballot-box by ignorance and corruption
now dreaded in thc future by our wisest
statesmen."
Thus the radicals turn upon their own
work, and viudicato tho wisdom and
statesmanship of their opponents
throughout this controversy over nigger
equality. What bas Sambo to say now?
ClHCUMNAViaATION OF TUE GLOOE.
Mr. E. H. Hall, in a lotter published in
a New York contemporary, announces
that provision is now made for tho cir?
cumnavigation of tho globo iu three
months. 22,000 miles of steam naviga?
tion and railway travel-from Now York
to Liverpool; from Liverpool, via Lon?
don and Puris, to Marseilles; thenco to
Suez, Aden, Bombay, Calcutta, Point de
Gaile, Singapore, Hong Kong and Yo?
kohama; across the Pacific to San Fran?
cisco; then home, via Salt Lake City,
Omaha and Chicago-all to be done in
ninety days, if tho traveler keeps
moving, or in six months if he travels
"comfortably!" Tho ocean routes on
th's old maps are wondrously changed.
Tracing the courso of the fast steamers
across tho Atlaufic: the short cut down
through France to tho Mediterranean;
the liuo to tho Isthmus of Suez, where
tho ship canal is almost ready; and then
the steamer routes through the lied,
Arabian, Indian und China seas and
over tho Pacific, connecting with the
new railway across this continent
tracing these, and then noting the an?
cient track of sailing vessels around Cupo
Hom and the Cape of Good Hope, no
modern tourist can refrain from blessing
tho discoverers and inventors who have
so shortened and quickened the ways of
traversing and seeiug tho globe.
SOUTHERN MANUFACTURES.-Tho recent
exhibition of textile fabrics in Cincinnati,
it is stated, shows that thc South is
largely extending its cottou manufacto?
ries. According to the latest reports,
Georgia has forty-seven cottou mills;
South Carolina, forty; Missouri, twenty
seven; Alabama, eleven; Tennessee,
forty; and there are also many mills in
North Carolina and South Carolina. The
product generally is fine shirtings and
sheetings, and the specimens exhibited
at Cincinnati compared favorably with
the goods from the New England manu?
factories.
The Tribune says that Chinese emigra?
tion and the coolie trade ore entirely dis?
tinct in their character, conditions, and
consequonccs, the lutter being in no ma?
terial respects different from the slave
trade*, while tho former is surrounded by
guards and checks on the part of tho
colonial authorities, for which they are
entitled to credit. It says tho law of
18C2 was designed to suppress the coolie
trade, and not to| interfere at all with le?
gitimate Chinese emigration, tho advan?
tages of which have been great and
manifold to this country.
NEGRO OUTRAGES.-On Saturday even?
ing, a band of tho North Carolina ne?
groes who are at work on tho Eufaula
Poad, made an attack on some negroes
at Col. Mitchell's plantation. They were
met with a determined resistance. The
assailing party wero fired upon and two
of the assailants killed outright. Several
others wero wounded.
A fire broke out in tho town of Yon?
kers, about mid-night, Sunday, which
destroyed all the property on an entire
block bounded by fonr streets. Tho loss
is estimated at #100,000, which is only
partially covered by insurance. Tho suf?
ferers aro principally dealers in lumber
and coal.
A couple of drummers, or, as they are
politely termed, commercial travelers,
wero arrested in Charleston, on Wednes?
day, charged with violating tho ordi?
nance to license and regulato traveling
agents.
As Thomas Gilmartin, of Cleveland,
Ohio, was attempting to enter tho houso
of his father, early yesterday morning,
his father heard him, and thinking it was
a burglar, fired a shot, killing his Eon in?

OUR BOOK TABLE.-"My Daughter El
linor," is tho title of a book, which
comes from I^essrs. Duffie it Chapman.
"My Daughter Ellinor" is one of tho
cleverest of American novels. It gives a
correct and faithful picturo of life nt
Washington, tho capital of the United
States; thc political intrigues and party
manoeuvres transpiring in society; the
corruption extending to its social rela?
tions. In tho character of Mr. Grey is
presented with fidelity tho Washington
politician; tho influence he exerts and
tho manner of exertion, in all its crooked
bearings, whilst as a foil appears the
description of his daughter Ellinor, a
sweet and noble woman, wielding a royal
sway in tho drawing-room, and perfect
in her domestic circle. This clover book
is a story of the present day, told in a
vigorous, nervous stylo, aud is well
worthy of moro than this passing notice.
Messrs. Duffie ?fe Chapman aro well sup?
plied with copies of My Daughter Elli
uor, which they offer for sale at a mode?
rate price.
BE CHEERFUL.-A cheerful face is tho
radiance of the soul, and should be worn
at all times, especially at home. Let
your cheerfulness be felt for good
wherever you arc, aud let your smiles bo
scattered liko sun-beams, "ou tho unjust
as well as on tho just." Such a disposi?
tion, reader, will yield you a rich reward,

Smiles arelittlothiugs; thoyoost nothing,

tho giver and recoiver-pleasant little
ripples to watoh on tho shores of every?

TH* Jftrir?nxt o? Boura C?WUIKA,.
.We call tho special ott eut ion of our
.reader/t^aadv?rt?~m?,at in -rtlfction
to tbis' Uiaitersity published " in the
PHCBNIX, and also to the subjoined ex?
tract from tho Columbia correspondence,
of tho Anderson Intelligencer:
"Tho University of South Carolina
lives. It may be stated as a fact beyond
a doubt that it is the intention of the
party in power to retain the able Faculty
of this iustitution. The gentlemen com?
posing the Faculty are men of great
learning, aud are identified with the his?
tory nud interests of our State. Few
men, to great learning, have united
greater earnestness in instructing the
young men of our land. There names
are written upou thousands of diplomas
throughout the country, and few men
aro moro highly appreciated while liv?
ing, or would bo moro deeply deplored
in death. Mnjor C. D. Melton, Profes?
sor of Law, possesses legal talents of the
highest order. He is prominent among
thc mt st brilliant men of the profession.
Tho Medical Professors are men whoso
names will live iu the profession, and
their fame esto perpetua. Thero is only
ono vacancy to bo filled, that of the chair
of Chemistry. Professor Sheppard, so
long known us an able member of tho
Faculty of the Charleston College, will,
it is thought, fill the chair. Let the in?
telligence that tho University of South
Carolina, durum et vencrabile nomen, hos
passed the breakers aud lives, be pro?
claimed throughout our State. It is to
bc hoped that ere many weeks have
passed, tho silent gloom of the old cam?
pus will fade before tho blaze of many
mid-night lamps, and the bell which
hangs so silently now in the mos3-covered
belfry, aud is so familiar in its sounds to
so many cars in our State, will awake
hundreds of students to prayers to thank
their God that they have au opportunity
of obtaining au education, for without
it 'the world with its thrones, empires
and wrestling millions,' is mere trash,
and life is a blank. If tho young men
of our State will only move ou in the
cause of knowledge with that 'indomita?
ble will and uudauuted soul' which has
characterized their ancestors in all of
their deeds, the day will not be far dis?
tant when the bright sun of independ?
ence and prosperity will burst upon us
with all of its resplendeut brilliancy,
and at the name of Carolina in the fu?
ture, as in tho post, the world will bow
down in reverence. "
