Tin: COTTON SUPPLY.
The people of Great Britain arc again agi
tated over the question of cotton supply.
They have tried many experiments in differ
ent portions of the world only to discover that
their best resource is in America, and thai
when our planters fail to glut the market, all
the products of India, Egypt, and Brazil ex
ercise no serious influence, in cheapening our
great Southern staple. The manufacturers of
Manchester are soundly berated by corres
pondents of the London Times for their re
fusal to embark extensively in cotton-planting
schemes, but the writers who make these
complaints only display their ignorance of
true business principles. The woollen manu
facturers might as well busy themselves with
sheep-raising projects, and squander their
capital in wild schemes for increasing the
product of wool in the pastoral regions of the
world. Of all divisions of labor, none is so
marked as that which exists between the
producers of the raw material which enters
into the textile fabrics, and the men who, by
the aid of complicated machinery and fac
tory operatives, convert it into shirts and
sheetings or cloths and cassimeres. The com
bination of agriculture and domestic manu
factures, on a small scale, is entirely practi
cable, and it was in former times exemplified
in hundreds of thousands of homesteads in
this country, but it involves a ceaseless
round of drudgery and a waste of productive
power. It would be even wiser for the
grower of cotton to attempt to manufacture
it than for the manufacturer to attempt to
cultivate the raw material. Few men have
the requisite capital, time, or talent for pro
secuting both pursuits simultaneously; and if
they are not singularly fortunate in the selec
tion of their assistants, they will be more apt
to lose money than to gain wealth by dab
bling in large plantations in one direction and
managing large factories in another. The
Manchester men know all this far better than
the critics who have undertaken to instruct
them, and they know, too, that America must
continue to rule the cotton markets of the
world, and that any other region can, at the
Lest, only gain transient prosperity.
The British Government by its policy in
India and elsewhere has done and is doing
everything in its power to diminish British
dependence upon American supplies. But
the natural advantages possessed on our
Southern soil, combined with the superior
knowledge and energy of the American peo
ple, place our cotton-growing interests be
yond competition, and compel the Manchester
men to make their purchases from us, not
from any feelings of good-will, but because
they cannot be as well served by the pro
ducers of any other region. The new cotton
crop promises to be an unusually large and
fine one. This fact will help to confirm the
resolution complained of in the Times, and
after Southern labor is thoroughly reorga
nized, no fears need bo entertained of the
continued supremacy of American cotton.
TIIK WATER SUPPLY.
The scarcity of water from which the citizens
of Philadelphia are now suffering must
strike any visitor as an absurdity that could
only result from extreme bad management.
AVitb. two large rivers at our doors, it is cer
tainly a remarkable occurrence that even in
time of the severest drought there should be
any deficiency in the water supply, or any
fear of inconvenience or suffering. The
water at the Fairmount works, however, is
very nearly exhausted, and unless there is a
heavy fall of rain within a day or two, our
citizens will probably be reduced to the last
extremity. Among a people who have been
accustomed to the lavish use of water, this
will bo a misfortune the extent of which can
scarcely be estimated. That nothing but an
actual stoppage of the water supply
will make the average Thiladelphiau
understand the exigencies of the situation is
sufficiently proved by the fact that, in spite
of the official request of the Chief Engineer
of the Water Works for an economical use of
the water, and the explanations of the scarcity
that have been made by the newspapers, on
Saturday aud Sunday pavements were scrub
bed as usual in all parts of the city, and it is
doubtful whether one-half of our population
made any effort to save a gallon of the pre
cious fluid. In such a case as this, it certainly
soema that the Mayor ought to have authority
to do something more than make a re
quest; but, after all, the citizens are not the
ones who are in blame. The benefits of a
plentiful water supply for all purposes cannot
be overestimated. The health of the city
largely depends upon it, and the washing of
pavements, sprinkling of the streets, and the
constant running of water in the gutters, all
are sanitary auxiliaries of the first importance.
It is an absurdity to say that there is not
enough water in the Schulkill to supply the
- city at all times, and a water famine can only
come from bad management and an insuffi
ciency in the means used for filling the reser-
voirs. At the Fairmount works forty gallons
or more are required to pump one gallon into
the reservoir, and the inadequacy of tlie pre
sent water power machinery has long been
apparent, without any proper en on; being
made to remedy the difficulty; aud it seems
as if some calamity like that which is threat
ened is needed to awaken our authorities to a
croper sense of their duties in the premises,
The water loan bill, which was under discus
sion in Council, was practically killed by the
themselves hi tint
not bo nbtiiinv1 ; but
even if the bill had been piiHsn.1, It nouM
scarcely have availed to remedy (lin preqnnt
evil. What is wanted is n complete ifroti
struction of the Fairmount works: n tulnl
abolition of the old wntor-wlioels mid t li sub
stitution of properly oonsdntcloil stenm
pumpfi. In no other way rati n wnler supply
be secured in the future, nnd it is certainly
to be hoped that the milVcritij; nnd 1ots of
property that has already been oeensionod by
the drought will impress I lie fuel Hint n
change is needed upon the min is of (Inn"
who are entrusted with the power mid respon
sibility of acting in the mutter.
The Schuylkill Navigation Cinqmny hn-t n
right under its charter to all the wilier in Hie
river except (lint which flows over the d un.
and we are now in reality nl (lie mercy of
this corporation. II hns consented to open
its dams, and the Chief l'.ii;;ineer of the
Waterworks estimates tlmt nl unit t ii dnys'
supply can bo furnished in this manner, nnd
when that is exhausted there is nothing we
can do but to look to Providence. This
brings the matter to a direct issue, and it
shows conclusively that there is incompetence
nnd had management somewhere, ami that a
reform is imperatively needed. In the mean
time it is gratifying to notice that the heavens
give indications of rain. None of any mo
ment, however, 1ms as yet fallen, and we can
only wait in hopeful expectancy that a relief
will be afforded before the reservoirs run en
tirely dry.
THE DELA WAIIK DK.VOCllAUY.
The light of the Democracy in these latter
days is very generally hidden under the
bushel of defeat, and the unterrified masses
can frequently obtain a glance at the flicker
ing party taper only by having resort to the
most desperate measures. But in the groat
State of Delaware the pillory and the whip
ping-post nre still the standard deities, and a
young man who is about to take unto himself
a wife must first give security that the future
companion of his bosom shall not become a
burden on the community. Such a medi:eval
code, as a matter of course, betokens a
general acceptance of undiluted Democratic
doctrine, a general reliance upon the Demo
cratic candle for political light. The thriving
town of Wilmington, however, has been
brought into ready communication with the
nineteenth century by the railroad and the
telegraph, and, equally as a matter of course,
has for some years past been under the cou
trol of the Bepublicans. It is the solitary
oasis in the great Delaware desert, a small
patch of green whereon the traveller may
stand while he contemplates the abomination
of desolation round about.
The antediluvians who control the rest of
the State have recently determined upon
bringing Wilmington under their sway, in
order that the State may present an unbroken
front against the further encroachments of
the civilization of the age. They have gone
about this task in the old-fashioned Demo
cratic way. As a clear majority of the voters
under the laws which govern the rest of the
State, and which formerly governed Wil
mington, were thorough-going Republicans,
the franchise must necessarily be extended, to
bring about a change. The device of enfran
chising the blacks, and then trusting to their
well-known affection for their "old masters"
to secure their adoption of the Democratic
faith, seems not to have entered their heads.
Instead of doing this, the last Legislature, one
house of which was unanimously Democratic,
and the other almost so, passed a law throw
ing open the polls to all white men who have
paid their county tax, whether they have paid
their city and school tax or not. This will
suffice to swell the Democratic ranks by seve
ral hundreds, for the Delaware Democracy,
like the Democracy in general, are averse to
the payment of taxes, and hold in special ab
horrence taxes which are appropriated to
school purposes. Yet this might not accom
plish the object, and so the city was divided
into nine wards, instead of six as formerly,
the new divisions being so gerrymandered as to
give the Democracy the best possible show for
carrying a majority of them, even in defiance
of the voice of the majority in the city at
large. And to make assurance doubly sure,
nine Democrats were designated by name to
conduct the elections in all the wards, in con
nection with assistants of their own appoint
ment. Thus the situation stands in Wilmington.
The Democrats have already made their nomi
nations, and are preparing to put the new law
and its machinery into such efficient opera
tion that a victory will be assured them. The
Republicans will place their ticket in the field
next Saturday, aud will then go about the up
hill work of maintaining their position under
the old Btate of affairs. The result of the
contest is a matter of grave doubt.
Mexico still labors under the chronic aftlic-
tion of anarchy. A correspondent writes
that, despite the rigorous policy of Juarez,
the disruption of the unfortunate Republic is
considered by many as being imminent
General Bustamente, at the head of a consi
derable revolutionary force, threatens to seve
the ties which bind the States of Queretaro
and San Luis Fotosi to the Federal Union-
Sonora and Sinaloa are regarded as lost; and
in Yucatan, Chiapas, and Jalisco the Indians
present a formidable insurrectionary front,
while in Durango and Guerrero the Federal
troops have also encountered the aborigines
in several severe engagements. Although the
United States is much better off without
Mexico, we fear that annexation will nrovn
the only remedy for the ills to which our sister
republic is heir.
Although St. Lonirjia so anxious to possess
the national capitol, and offers five hundred
acres of good truck land whereon to erect the

A HAHi)-rtisiii:i newspaper correspondent
has had an interview with George Francis
Train, the result of which was that George,
Francis regards the American people as the
most cowardly on the face of the earth, ami
is assured that they will elect him President
of the United States in IHJ-J. If George
Francis is anything of a prophet, he might
have added that the American people are also
the most idiotic on the face of the earth. His
election to the Presidency could be reason
ably anticipated on no other hyp jfhesis.
Grac e Greenwood has unearthed a vene
rable gentleman in this city who could not
answer from personal knowledge the mo
mentous question, "Did Washington ever
swear?" but who, from what he had heard
his father and sundry old soldiers say,
thought that " the Father of his Country"
was in the habit of "blazing away consider
ably in times of great excitement." The
moral of the famous hatchet story, however,
still remains undisturbed.
O 11 ITl'A It V.
marshal Veil.
Adolpli Neil, Marshal of France ami Minister of
War, died ou Saturday. He was born at Muret, lu
the department of the Haute-Garonne, on the 4th of
October, 1S02, was admitted to the rolytechnique lu
1 sal ami entered the Keole 'Application of Metis In
1923. He obtained his commission as lieutenant of
engineers in lS'JT, and became a captain in the corps
In 1831. In the year 1S32 he sailed for Algeria, where
he served actively and with dHtiuction, being spe
cially congratulated by the then Minister of War for
his conduct at the capture of C'onstaiitlne. He was
also rewarded by promotion to command as chefdt
batailloit. The young ottlcer rose rapidly, being lieutenant-colonel
In 112, colonel lu ls-iii, and chief of
the stall' engineers attached to the expedition to
Home In 1S49. Here he attracted notice from the
Pope, and being honored by Napoleon with the com
mission of general of;brigade, was despatched in the
duty of carrying the keys of the city to his Holiness
at (iaeta. lteturuing to France, he was placed
in direction of the Department of Engi
neers, under the Minister of War, and
here earned the rank of general of division, to which
he w as promoted April 30, iS53. In ISM he marched
with an expeditionary corps to the Baltic, taking
command of the engineers at the siege of Bomar
sund. He was appointed an ald-dc-camp to Napo
leon ou his return. In January, 1355, (ieneral Nell
went to the Crimea, charged to Investigate the con
dition of the Imperial army and report on the pro
gress of the siege. In this he decided that a complete
investment of Sebastopol was necessary, and that Its
vulnerable point was the Malakoil'. He was right,
and proved It. A few days after the fall of the Kus
slan stronghold he received the Grand Cross of the
Legion of Honor. He was created a Senator of
France, June 7, is')". In 1(sss he went to Italy to
demand from Victor Emanuel the hand of the Prin
cess Clotilde in marriage for Prince Napoleon.
During the war in Ituly, in 1359, he commanded the
Fourth corps of the Army of the Alps, and was par
ticularly distinguished at Solferino. After the peace
he was created a Marshal of France. He was an
eminent debater In the Senate. Marshal Neil wrote
a history of the siege of Sebastopol.
In lsoT he was appointed Minister of War, to which
position he was reconfirmed Just previous to bin
death. His administration of his oillce was charac
terized by his usual vigor and energy, and at the
time of the contest between Austria aud Prussia he
set to work to raise the standard of eillclency lu the
French army, and in a very short time he made It
superior to that of any force In Kurope. He was a
devoted adherent of the Emperor, aud one of the
men upon whom Napoleon most Implicitly relied to
sustain him in case of dilllculty. He was bitterly
hostile to Prusslau ascenduncy in Europe, and was
anxious to bring ubout a contest for the superiority
between that couutry and France. He however ac
quiesced in the Emperor's decision against a war,
and devoted himself to the task of keeping the
French army up to the highest state of eillclency.
llle was considered as one of tle most able otllcers
In the service of the Emperor, and ho is almost the
last of those who assisted Napoleon III to overthrow
the republic and re-establish the empire. For some
time past he was seriously 111, and his death was
hourly expec ted. The same cable despatch that an
nounces his decease states Unit the Emperor was so
much affected by the event; that he was obliged w
hastily leave the Chalons bamp while the military
.Men were In progress. Like Marshal McMahon,
Marshal Neil was of Irish extraction.

From facts that have c Jine to our knowledge it it
evident that the attempt to open it was renewed ne

lock. The hanmuTlng was heard by parties in th
neighborhood for several hours, but supposing it t,'
arise from the railroad men replacing a delectivJ
rail, excited no alarm. Tho tools, with the exception
of the drills, were left. It Is evident that "ey 'S
