"The dangers of our ci 'are magnified

porary adds : . ' '. ,-,t: -." -
"The capacity of the port of Wilming
ton has been too' well understood by .the
trade and commerce of the country,'(for
the best part of two ; past centuries, and
its facilities for improvement too much

the age, for the ridicule of any jival in

South Atlantic ports.
"Of Beaufort Harbor, it ought not to
be necessary to speak to any intelligent
man of this generation. But since the
enemies , of the North Carolina System
have invested it with the dangers of Cape
Hatteras, it is, perhaps, ' necessary to
state that It is situated nearly seventy
miles South of the great maritime scare
crow of pur coast " Beaufort or Old Top-!
sail inlet is located on the. least dangerous
'portion of the. North Carolina seacbast,
fronting an open sea.; - A survey made by
jLawson; in Trl718,n gaye eighteen ' feet of
water on the har at mean Iqw water.
Wimble in 1738 verified Lawson, and
found the same depth, of water. During
the' Revolutionary war, an English cruiser
drawing twenty-two feet came into Beau
fort, and the Coast Survey report of
Professor Bache in 1851 represents ' the
bar as having seventeen feet at mean low
Water. The report on the Coast Survey,
made to Congress in 1851, stated that "a
khip drawing twenty feet water can leave
at any state of the tide, with almost any
wind, and discharge her. pilot at sea in
"rom thirty to forty-five minutes after
weighing anchor.''
"A resident pilot reports that on the
first of January, of last year, he took out
the schooner, E. J. Congleton, drawing
eleven feet with her centre-board down
eight, making a draft of nineteen feet;
and casting the lead on frequent occasions
he has never found less than eighteen or
nineteen feet of water on the bar : mean
rise and fall of the tide on the bar at Beau
'fort, two feet eight inches; ordinary mean
rise and tall ot spring tide, three feet
three inches; mean rise and fall of neap
ides, two feet two inches."
"With such a harbor as Beaufort,'
he Observer concludes, "North Carolina
has the capacity and the facilities for deve
loping a commerce scarcely second to any
State of the Union, except New York
Nature has here invited the commerce of
an empire and it only wants a North
Carolina System to establish and develop
it."
Then let us have it.
GOV. TILDEN SHO WS A CLEAN
BILL
At his earnest request iGov. Tilden has
been permitted to testify before the Pot
ter sub-committee, and he declares that
lie never saw or heard of or suspected the
cipher dispatches by the Tribune until
their publication; that no negotiations for
the 'vote of Florida or South Carolina
were undertaken with his authority, sane
tion or knowledge; that the first he heard
of the South Carolina transaction was
Mr. Cooper s communication to him of
Pelton's dispatch from Baltimore asking
foa $60,000 or $80,000, and that he then
immediately ordered that proceeding stop
ped and Pel ton home. He knew nothing
of the . proffer of Florida s vote till the
whole matter was long past, when Mr.
Marble mentioned it as a bygone affair
that there had been such, a 'proffer and
- that it had been declined. "I believe,''
he said, "I declare beforet God and my
country it Is my' entire' belief that -the
vote and the certificates of South Caro-
. Una, of Florida and of Louisiana, were
bought; that the Presidency was bought
.Pelton'g act was an inchoate offense, but
on the other side the act which was done
was a completed and consummated fraud,
and the possession of the Presidency of
the United States was given to a man who
was not elected." The examination lasted
two hours and a half.
.'- The testimony fills up considerable Bpace
in the Northern daily papers,' and there is
no doubt that the examination of Gov.
Tilden was conducted with much force and
rigor, Commenting on the evidence the
Philadelphia (JkrvntcUIIerald says :
j" Weed, ' Pelton and Marble chief co-.
" parcener--preceded , Mr. Tilden on ' the
stand; they absolved him absolutely from
au guuiy Knowieage.ana. gave to tne
purity of his character testinjony which
only needed to 'come from "a pure source
to be the -very highest encomium. ' The
material point 4s that they all , agreed in
this :1 that Mr.rTSden had no part in and
did not authorize ; any corrupt negotia
tions, :and when ; it 'waa suggested to him
that yoteiwerfbr-sale, he declared that
tie would scorn to win -by any means not
absolutely honorabl.
"Now Mr. Tilden has spoken for him
sell, ile nas denied witn indignation that
he was a party to any bargain. The man-
ner and the matter of his declaration are
just what we' would expect from an honest
man. v His manner was intensefonearnest, J

THE PRICE OF NEWSPAPERS.
: A ' friend - ask why is that the 'price of
newspapers does not drop with thi price
of clothing -and 'provisions? 'It is a rea
sonable uesliob,' and we find it frtnkly
answered by the Hai tford Currant. The
newspapers t of T the 'first-class are better
now than they were a few years ago, and
the cost of producing them i is more, while
; their receipts' for advertising are much less
.than formerly.? The newspapers have
shared to the full exten t the hardness of the
times, v Few of them have made much
money since 1873 ; many of the most im
portant newspapers have been published
without profit,' some at a loss. Every
daily paper m the country, so far as we
know, is sold at much below its cost it
depends wholly upon the advertising for
making up the deficit. When business is
poor the newspaper is the first to feel it.
The failures in newspapers much exceed
the successes. The fact is that the cheap
est thing that a man buys or takes into
his house is a good newspaper. The
"modern journal with ' the news of all the
world freshly gathered is indeed a marvel
of cheapness. ;
THE DECLINE -IN THE PRICE
OF COTTON. '
A report from the agricultural depart
ment just issued among other items gives
the prices of the cotton crop? concerning
which it is said : We are guided by the
prices received by the plagter, which have
ruled excessively low this winter, the aver
age fot" the whole country- being about 8
cents per pound- f The great value of this
crop 13 founded on the demand for export.
Prior to the war, in 1859 and 1860, the
amount imported into Great Britain from
the United States was four-fifths their
whole importation. During the war it
fell off to less than 2 per cent. Starting in
1866 at 37 per cent we find that m 1878
we had regained the position we held
prior to 1861, and that four-fifths of the
cotton used and manufactured in Great
Britain came from the United States.
The proportion of our total crop exported
to foreign ports was 3,340,000 bales out
of a crop of 4,750,000 bales during the
year endiug September 1, 1878.' The
production of this great staple seems to
be too large, and the result is shown in
glutted markets and low prices, the larger
crop of 1878 being worth less than that of
the preceding year. Basing the calcula
tion of prices on that received by the pro
ducer, we find the value of j the crop of
1878 to be $194,700,000. -and for 1877
$240,000,000, while the number of bales
was 4,750,000 in 1877 and 5,200,000
for 1878.
