He made a brief apeeoh. He < cald: "AU the abilities and energies I , possess will be devoted to the enforce- i mont of the laws and the suppression of violence, disorder and orime. I promise j all: whom it may oonoern, that when I < am plaoed at the head of the department of justice, ao far as my jurisdiction in j that department may go, its mandates i will be dispensad without, fear or favor, j and with equal vigor and respect for all i classes and conditions of men. I regret ; that in some seo tiona of the country a spirit of lawlessness seems to prevail. I ] will favor every consideration of kind- ( ness to luduou obedience to the laws, | but if no other means will answer, then lam for using the whole power of the | couutry to crush ont every conspiracy against the peace of society and the j safety of unoffending citizens." The \ new Attorney-General is amazed that | any considerable number, ail thia time, ] should engage in violence and disorder, < (or there is nothing to gain and much to loee. If hatred and revenge are allowed j to overcome these considerations, then it < becomes the plain duty of tbe Govern- \ meat to interfere with its BtroDg arm and \ subdue these passions. He alludes to < being the first Cabinet officer from West j Of the Rocky Mountains, and promises | not to forget where his home is.

NIGHT DESPATCHES. , WASHINGTON, December 16.-The cot? ton retorna received in December at the Department of Agriculture' are similar in tenor to the November reporta-fully sustaining tbe moderate promise of im? provement npon the somewhat glowing views presented in October; yet tbe ohaoge is so marked as to modify mate? rially tbe prospeot first allowed in the monthly reports for July and September. The latest returns would indicate an es? timate almost identical with that of the September report fora favoring autumn, wbioh could scarcely bring a trop ex? ceeding 8,333,000 bales. Frosts have been delayed till November, and in some localitiea till tbe 20th; and the weather bas been generally favorable for picking, without waste or discoloring of fibre. A fair rendering of tbe recent local esti? mates, wbioh bave been unusually nu? merous and complete, gives a total ag? gregate of 3,400.000 bales as tbe present expectation of the cotton yield of 1871.

"We mest all stand together," be said, looking severely askant at the supposed delinquent; and the other man present, being the one addressed, and only a party eoho, and well paid for it, said, with a corresponding look in the same | direction, "Yes, we ought, surely, all to Bland togothor." And with that over whelming argument, doubtless they thought they bad settled the matter for then and all time. It was a soene worthy of Dickens or of I Naafc. Pity we have not tho latter bera j to serve op the South Carolina ring in ! the same style us Tammany 1 Pity the Scott, Parker, Neagle and Bampton faces should not grin ont at us every week from some Southern Harper, with the force and ludicrousness they so well merit, and with equal effectiveness on I the public mind. If there is suoh a I large constituency in New York that -pictures can best reach and enable to comprehend the situation, so, much more clearly, there is a larger one here. "Ought all to stand together!" Now [ that their villainy is being uncovered, this is their cry. Stand dose together, so, dear friends, (how very dear some \ friends suddenly become in times of trouble!) and oover us when threatened with well deserved punishment and dis? grace; bear fur us the evil name wo have | mado for you all, tho shame and discre? dit we have brought upon our cause and people in a land already too little dis? posed to regard ns with favori Standby] us/ Stand close by us/ What if we do fleece you all, friends I and foes, so nicely; rob you of every available penny; ref uno to pay our bills, and keep your money to build our own fortunes upon, till having kept it BO j long, it oomes to seem quite as though it belonged to ns, and we mean to keep it altogether. What of that? We arel fellow Republicans and friends, you know; you mustn't say a word! And being friends, we don't exactly like to ask for it; but if you want a bill paid, why, you simpletons, don't yon offer us that nice shave we have been waiting for so long-only half of it-to divide around among ns, a la Tammany; and if you have not enough ont cf thc rest o! it to pay the employees and other ex? penses, and are obliged to take for your? selves considerably less than nothing, why, that is no special business of ours, that we know of. We are bonnd to have the lion's share, anyway, seeing we can. That is our friend-ship, and clan-ship, and party-ship, and whatever else you may call it, when yon come down to the honest truth of it. Thank yon, our very dear, sweet friends; wo didu't know what tho Dickens and Fanny Feru style of friends was, till we became acquainted with you; bot we think we understand it now pretty thoroughly. It is all ex? ceedingly nice-for you, we must ac? knowledge; all these little games yon are BO well up to with friends and everybody else; bot with bright Qail Hamilton, wo fail to find stirring within us the graoious promptings to accept any such "call to martyrdom." Friendship is a very good thing in its way, but we are unromantic enough not to think it worth starving for. When it comes to asking people to go without clothes and to live on air; to consent to be dunned every time they go in the street, having co means to pay their honest debts because you will not pay yours; yon may be very dear, sweet friends, indeed; but you are not worth that. ASTBEA. One of our most prominent and acute merchants, writing to ns under date of December 13. eays: "After careful thought upon the sub jeot of the bond question and the City Hall and market improvements now being carried on by the City Counoil, and which was freely discussed by your? self and others in the Board of Trade, last evening, I am clearly of the opinion that the whole thing is wrong; and the sooner a stop is put to it, the better. Tbefioanoial affairs of the city and State are not in a coudition nt this time that wouid warrant the issue of bonds to j carry on any improvements. The peo? ple are now burdened with heavy taxer, and to inoreaso the taxes at this time for these improvements, would certainly be very injudicious and unwise. If the oity required these improvements, it would be unjust, at this time, to or?ate bonds for the purpose. The financial affairs of the country at this time are such, that we would have to seek a mar? ket out of the State to sell the bonds, and, with the present blemish given to the credit of the State by tho party in power, I doubt if the oity bonds could be sold at over forty cents on tho dollar; and you can see at once that it would be to the interest of tax-payers to have a stop put to all these improvements, and let them stand until things tuke a chango for the better. I have no idea that the bonds of the city, with the present ad? ministration controlling the affairs of the city, could be sold at over forty cents on the dollar, and the tax-payers wouid have to foot the balance. The subject of taxes seems to be but little under? stood among the people." Grand Duke Alexis Hat You will And at CHILDS & WILEY'S Clothing and Hat House.
