The Repeal of the Cotto Tax.
JfeK rery doolded majority by which the tax
of 2 oenU per pound on cotton was thrown
oil, ho to the country that Congress is
fully ftlire to the faot that some radical change
U neoesBary in order to save the industries of
the oenntry from prostration. The first step
In the right direction was made when one
hundred and forty-fire gentlemen voted to re
lieve that most valuable of onr productions,
with bat twenty to oppose the movement.
We not only esteem it in itself a most impor
tant advanoe in the right direction, but hail it
as a harbinger of a series of legislative enaot
jnenU whioh will gradually relieve our home
Industry from the ornshlng burdens under
whioh it is now striving to struggle. We do not
think the eotton tax was removed a day too
Boon, and only fear that the evil it has done
cannot be canoelled. During the debate on
the question in Congress, Judge Kelley read a
letter from a Philadelphia manufacturer, lately
returned from Europe, whioh is of interest, as
it intelligently sets forth facts which have not
yet reoeived the careful attention of any of
Our travellers. The writer says:
"In the great Exposition at Paris were sam
ples from seventy-two different localities, four
Horn tbe UnlteU Stales. Our sea Island was.of
tonrse, the flues t and longest in the collected
rorld ot cotton; but botween our sea island
daple there were from other countries twenty
temples superior to New Orleans middling,
friey have planted the Beed ol our sea island
long stfivlo in India, Ejypt, Asia Minor, Alge
ria, Italy, Africa, and many other countries,
and are getting a grnue of cotton which sur-
? 'asses our middling Orleans. Growing cotton
n these countries has now got fully established
as the best thing those people ever have, or pro-
i pauiy ever can ao; auu vuey win continue 10
I frow cotton superior to most of ours, no matter
wnat me price, xne Houtb has lost, by her trea
son, the best thing she bad the control of the
eottoa market, and I fear she will never got it
baolt until our price Is down to five cents for a
year or two; and our people most prepare to
grow it for that or to manufacture all tney can
not sell North, for Eorope on get along without
pur cotton, I am sorry to say,"
Judge Kelley followed the reading of the
letter with an eloquent appeal in favor of the
motion, - advocating it not on the ground
that it would, benefit the South, but that "the
Interests of the whole people demand its re
moval." One curious faot he showed wliich
Will cause general surprise. By figures it
appears that we have beoome a cotton importing
people. The following is a table of the imports
of raw cotton for the past four years:
Pounds. Value.
1S88 3,374.810 tO'4,812
1864 20 475,957 8.668 917
1865 3 024.282 1,16,608
1868 ... 6,270,887 1,323.178
There could be no more powerful argument
than this. It shows that, if we would save
our ootton-growing interests from total destruc
tion, a repeal of the tax i3 imperative. We
fi I hope the Senate will cive the matter its early
attention, and pass the bill as soon as the
routine of that body will allow.
An Opportunity for a Statesman.
Auiir, and for the fortieth time, a movement
looking towards a confederation of several of
the South American republlos has been in
augurated. . Tern has taken the initiative,
through 'Senor Barrenechea, her Minister of
Foreign Relations, who has reoently addressed
ft circular upon the subject to the representa
tives of Chili, Bolivia, and Ecuador. The
following figures show several : particulars
relating to these republics, the population, in
consequenoe of the lack of regular and reliable
enumeration, being estimated:

confederation a
magnificent domain, equal in extent to one
third of the territory of the United States, ex
clusive of our comparatively worthless acquisi
tion ef Alaska; while its great stretch of sea
coast, from the first degree of north latitude to
the forty second degree of south latitude,
throws it open to easy commercial intercourse
with the world, and favors it with every
range of climate. There is not, outside of our
own limits, a finer field for growth in all the
elements of nationality. Yet from the moment
when the first blow was struck against the
Sovereignty of Spain down to the present time,
whan President Frado, of Peru, lies enoamped
about the rebellious city of Arequipa, the en
lrgias and resources of all these South Ameri
can republlos have been frittered away by
Internal dissensions and petty foreign compli
cations. Their Governments, it is true, have
been somewhat more stable than those of
Uexiw, but tug results from the faot that
Mexloo la a territorial unit, and can therefore
devote its whole tin and attention to Internal
disputes, save when ome European nation in
terferes te attempt a oonUeHt.

But the filojy defe&slre aSianoe wbtcli Jt m
subbed sinoe the 12th of, January, 1868, J
is about on a par with the confederation vjhioh
preoeded the adoption of our Federal Consti
tution; and, in oommon with all who have an
abiding interest in the suooess of free institu
tions in the New World, we must rejoice to be
assured that the leading minds of the four re
publics are again agitating the subjeot of a
oloser and more permanent union. The oir
oular of Senor Barrenechea, to which we re
ferred at the outset, breathes the true spirit,
and is oouohed in language whioh fully
realizes the paramount necessity of union.
The Peruvian Minister of Foreign Relations,
notwithstanding his long experience in South
American politics, has not lost faith in free
institutions similar to our own. "The Ameri
can Union," he says, "has advanced some
steps, despite predictions and doubts to the
contrary. It is, therefore, manifest that this
grand idea is, in a oertain sense, abso
lutely realizable." Senor Barreneohea fur
ther says that "the spirit of absolute
separation and antagonism is opposed by
all those who comprehend the situation
ot South America." But hitherto all
eflbrts at counteracting this antagonistic
spirit have come to nought. "The different
American Congresses that have met sinoe the
time of Bolivar have not produced anything
but vague hopes for some, and for others
dcceitfulness, that have fomented the ideas
of separation and division." The unwarrant
able assaults of Spain, however, have tended
to advance the principles of union in a few
months far more than the labors of half a
century; and the Chilian Minister of Foreign
Relations, in a recent report to Congress, has
been led to prophesy that the present alliance,
flimsy as it is, is but "a happy presage of a
more vast and complete Union."
For the purpose of furthering the realization
of this happy consummation, which was
dreamed of by Bolivar himself, the Peruvian
Minister proposes, as a preliminary to a solid
union, that there shall be convened yearly an
assembly of plenipotentiaries of the four re
publics, to deliberate upon measures calcu
lated "to establish and maintain the Federal
ties." The following programme of subjeots
to be brought especially before this assembly
is laid down: The revision of the treaty of
alliance of January 12, 18 6G; the settle
ment of any and all disputes between
the allied republics; uniformity in
political, civil, criminal, commercial, and edu
cational legislation; the establishment, in com
mon, of post-roads and telegraph systems; the
adoption of an international plan of immigra
tion from Europe and the United State; the
revision of treaties with foreign nations, abro
gating all which do not reoeive the common
approval; and the negotiation of new treaties
between foreign powers and the Union. "The
republics," says Senor Barrenechea, "should
not only ally themselves for their oommon de
fense and mutual security; they should aspire
to a higher aim that of forming a respectable
entidad the only way to found solidly their
wealth; to exchange with advantage recipro
cally their elements of progress; and to figure
with dignity among the grand body of nations
that compose the civilized world."
The Ministers of Chili and Bolivia resident
in the Peruvian capital have already signified
their approval of this grand scheme, and on
the first of March next the first assembly of
the allied republics is expeoted to convene in
the city of Lima. This event, if It transpires,
will be the most significant and important in
the recent history of South America; and if
the admirable spirit of the Peruvian circular
is infused into the meeting, the dawning of
better days will be heralded. A few years
under the system proposed will serve to de
monstrate not only its merits and strength, but
its inherent weakness and radical defeots;
and the double light thereby shed upon
South American politics will, we trust, lead
directly to a more perfect and permanent
union. If there is in any one of the four re
publics a man who is worthy of the title of
statesman, a rare opportunity is now before
him. The initiative having bean taken, there
is needed, to perfect and consummate the
grand idea of a South Amerioan republio
which shall be something more than a mookery
of the name, the directing hand of a patri
otic and masterly mind. The man who pos
sesses the sterling qualities which the situa
tion demands can scarcely fail of suooess; and
success will place his name in the same rank
with Lincoln, Bismarck, and Cavonr.
A Glimpse of the Golden Age.
The New York Chamber of Commerce held its
regular monthly meeting yesterday afternoon,
and at the very outset got into hot water
on the subject of the resumption of speoie
payments. ' It appears that at the preceding
meeting a committee was appointed to draft
memorial to Congress, urging upon that body
the adoption of such measures as would ensure
the earlv resumption of specie payments. M r.
w
A. A. Low, a gentleman of great financial ex
perience, acted as chairman of the committee,
and yesterday their report was presented, and
after considerable wrangling, the memorial as
drafted by the committee was adopted, and
the offioers directed to transmit copies of it
forthwith to every member of Congress. Mr.
Riley, the late President of the Second Avenue
Railroad, expressed his belief that ten years
would elapse before specie payments could be
resumed, but a majority of the Chamber dis
agreed with him, and fixed upon the 1st of
January. 16G9, as the commencement of our
financial millennium.
memorial likewise reoommends that,
as a mng of forcing gold into circulation, the
Beoretary f Treasury be required here
after to receW, legal-tenders in payment of
custom duties to vfc. amount of ten per oent.
This likewise encouuv,red considerable oppo
sition, but the Chamber sphered to the belief
that it had at last hit upon fcappy solution
of the vexed problem of our nauj fianoes,
and the memorial was adopted as Pitted bf
UiownuDitUe. " 4 -'
Our Real Estate "Taking to Itself!
! Wing.'
FbbmdhiT Johi?on, in his Message to Con
gress, after dwelling on the advantage of a
naval station in the West Indies, announoes
(hat "The islands of St. Thomas and St.
John's, which constitute a part of the group
called the Virgin Inlands, seemed to offor us
advantages immediately desirable, while their
aoquisjUon could be secured. A treaty has,
therefore, been concluded with the King of
Denmark lor the cession of these islands, and
will be submitted to the Senate for con
sideration." About the same time the Pre
sident waa penning the glowing paragraph
descriptive of the delightful additions to our
oomfort and convenience whioh the acquisi
tion of these valuable islands would secure, the
"valuable islands" were undergoing a series
of phenomena whioh not only will deter all
sane Americans from emigrating there, but
has induced every one who can to flee from
these shores of the "Virgins." We are told
that ,
'Fifty-seven ulioekg of enrthqunke, rapidly
SuccerUInK each other, were felt at HI. Thomas
on the 20ih of November. One shook lasted
two m I mi I en. The sea rose (iO feet on the city,
aod everything was Huumerged. The loss of
Hie was enormous, aod linmeuss quantities of
merchandise wero destroytd. '1 ho surviving
ifibHbliants are homeless and destitute, and
have fled to the mountains. Those that re
mained are striving, by every moans, to leave
the lHland.
"The steamship La Plata is the only vessel
which has sailed since the culamity.and she
left 1500 persons behind for want of accommoda
tions. Kvery business Qrm on the Island is in
solvent, and all the steamship and other com
panies nave abandoned it. No coil lg to be had,
and all the wharves are destroyed. At the lime
of the sailing of the steamer the earthquake
continued at intervals. The destruction is In
calculable at Ht. Thomas and Toriola and St.
Croix. Little 8aba Island la a horrible volcauo
and nearly all burled In ashes."
In the same column which contains this in
telligence we find the following:
'Tiie Governor of Kt. Thomas has returned
from Kuione to deliver that island to the United
States. According to the stipulations, the
amount, to be paid by the United States Is
7, 500,000."
It seems to us, taking all these paragraphs
together, that the United States, instead of
being about to purchase, is about being sold.
The old saying that "land cannot runaway,"
and that "real estate is the safest of all invest
ments," is proved to be an error, while we
are yet holding out the gold to pay for these
islands, these little editions of Paradise, of
which the President says they offer "advan
tages immediately desirable," seem about to
become part of another region than Eden. We
ory to the Senate "hold." Already we have
purchased an iceberg, which may suddenly
crush all our fellow-countrymen of Alaska, and
now we are to buy a volcano, probably the
same "horrible" one which has burned the
"Little Saba" into aBhes. We think the United
States must insist that Denmark insert a olause
of warranty, for we fear thawhen we ask for
bread we will be given a stone. It seems that
the fruits of this treaty are literally of the
Dead Sea they will turn to ashes on our
touch. -
The Fees of the How" Officers.
The belect Council yesterday adopted a reso
lution similar in Bpirit to what we have again
and again advocated. The resolution requests
the Legislature to repeal the law allowing the
"Row" officers to draw certain perquisites
from the City Treasury, making th03e offioers
salaried, and compelling them, out of their
fees, to purchase the various books and sta
tionery to be used in their offices. This is cer
tainly proper. It does not propose to reduoe
the receipts of those officers to the mere salary
allowed by law, but to allow them to still re
ceive numerous fees, but they are not to
derive their profits from the treasury of the
city. It is simply ridiculous to allow fifty per
cent, of all fees collected to be retained, as is
now done in many of those offloes. We have
our doubts whether the Legislature will com
ply with the request of Counoil, as that body
seldom does what it is asked to, but whether
the law is repealed or not, Council has shown
a commendable spirit in favor of reform in
doing its part by requesting its repeal.
