The cotton trade of Ralelfjh this soa
iton i most natHfaotory, anl it is a
cau.se of congratulation not only to
dealers IB the-staple btit to all who have
the prosperity of our city at heart, to
see the Increase of the trade. The re
it'ipt.i thus far amount to 4.1,3:17 l:des.
Charlotte, hetweon which place and
Kalciuh there in a rivalry in trade, it
apH-ar?, is not so fortunate, for her re
oeipiM huvoMo fallen off that the state
ment only show 3H,l) bales as the re
sult of the seaMOH'a business in that
city. The Charlotte Observer nays this
ih a -onslderabIe falling off from last
yeax.tlioiufh the crop was never larger,
and armies that the diminution of the
irnde Is largely due to the fact that cot
ton was shipped directly by buyers
from jtoiuLa around, instead of leing
sld in the eity as heretofore. Here
Raleigh has anjadded advantage, for
her good name as a Market grows more
and more e;u b year, and there is no
plaee in the South when' tin' staple of
tin-grado Kold here brings such gxHl
price. This fact is assorted by both
nortliern buyer and by the farmer
here, and jus a the jnple In this sec
tion letter understainl it so there will
continue to lie a steady increase in the
tritde.

sion by Mr. McMahon of Ohio.
: Gov. Xicholls has finally signed the
bill repealing the charter of the Louisi
ana lottery company. The bill was
pjiSscd at the last session of the Legisla
ture, but the State Constitution gives
the governor a year, if necessary, in
which to consider such matters before
taking final action. This measure was
of particular importance, for it not only
revokes the charter of this particular
company, but prohibits the further
drawing of lotteries and the sale of lot
tery tickets In the State.
It is the intention of the Treasury
Department as soon as the April inter-
I est on the public debt is paid, and the
1.. . m . . . .
four per cent, refunding certificates put
wen on ineir way, to aevote cartsid
erable attention to the circulation
ofthe standard silver dollar. Since re
sumption the Treasury has sent out
upon orders therefor about $15,000 in
silver a day on a general average. The
coinage last month was $2,000,0o0. Since
the passage of the silver bill a large
amount of this coinage has accumulated
in the vaults.

Special Champion and Defender.
Washington Post.
One can scarcely read ten consecutive
lines in a Republican newspaper with
out findings claim that the Radical
party is the special champion, custodi
an and defender of "honesty" in all
tiungs. Lnder the circumstances it
might be well to appoint a ioint com
mittee of Congress, consisting of ImralLs
in behalf of the Senate, and Orth for tha
iiouse, to report what legislation , is
necessary to insure honest elections
and protect the purity; of the ballot.

Tne Hitting Ball Story.
Washfngton Star.
So General Sheridan and the Commis-I
mission er 01 Indian Anairs agree
in the opinion that the stories about
Sitting Hull are the inventions of wick
ed newspaper men, who go from' place
to place seeking whom and in what
manner they .may deceive. The fact
that a military officer should discredit
rumors of .a' threaded war while the armv I
1.-11 r . t. t '.-f
urn is penning, is not more niarveo,.us,
than the discovery of a subject of dls -
cussion respecting Indian affairs in re
gard to which Gen. Sheridan and Com
missioner Hoyt are able to agree.
Znclittriali. the Claimed Fanatic.
Washington Capital.
If the Democracv gained public favor
in a general sense in 1S7 by submitting
to an outrage tor the sake of peace, how
much more could the Republicans pro
fit m l..y by simply refraining from
captious and factious opposition to
what is as clearly righteous and just as
the formula that "right to life, liberty
and tne pursuit 01 happiness is inalien
able!
But there is no danger that thev will
do it. Epraim is .joined to his idols.
Zachariah is chained to his fanaticisms.
And Hoar is wedded to his hates.

Philadelphia Times.
Those who suppose that tho country-
is now watching with solicitude for
the Republican or the Democratic par
ty in I ongress to achieve some sig
nal partisan victory that mav be felt in
the P residential contest of 1SS0 are wo-
tullv mistaken. Never before in the
history ofthe Republic did the great
mass ot the people care so little for
mere partisan success or the promise of
mere partisan success, and never be
fore were the leaders of both parties in
Congress so. widely and so profoundly
distrusted as now.
The South losing Weig;ht
Springfield Republican.
That the South is losing its relative
weight in wealth and population grows
plainer at every opportunity for compar
ison, and the fear of a solid fcouth there
by ought to grow less. The post-office
department has had recently to add
14 ) new thces 111 each State to the pres
idential post-othces omces with a sal
ary of $100)1 and over, but few went
South, and, 111 the number ot these of-
hces in each State, 13 .Northern States
ranK. any Southern .State, and ew
xorK- ana Jiassaonusetto nave more
than all the Southern States put togeth
er, and as the salary ot those offices is
determined by the business :done in
each, their number is no unfair index I
oi wealth, intelligence and population.
Republican Backing of If ayes.
Providence (R. I.) Press.
The organs of the Republican stal
warts are really fipding something
wortnv 01 tneir commendation in tne .
character of President Hayes.. Those
that were silent are speaking in faint
praise; those that always referred to the
President and his course with an if or
'perhaps' have omitted those qualifying
wordK; . and the bitter and outspoken
traducicrs are silent. It is - conceded
even by the organs: which Jaave been
the most -chary of praise, that the Pres
ident really possesses a spinal column
flow long will it be before all the trim
mers, doubters, critics and quasi oppo
nents of President Hayes will be assur
ing their readers that he is and has been
since inauguration, their man, and as a
true Kepubucan hasalwavs received
their support.

and place for holding the State CovenT
tlon.
': ! Senators Gordon and Lamar- have
rented a house on Yermont 'avenue,'
Washington, which will be the head
quarters of the Southern Democrats.
The Cincinnati Enquirer thinks it was
almost wrong for Democrats to take the
seats of Republican Senators the latter
,had become so used to them.
It is palpably "unconstitutional" and
absolutely "revolutionary" to deny the
right of tne Kepuoiican party to pay its
campaign rail vers and election day
strikers out of tne national treasury.
Atlanta Constitution: The Republi
can minority in Congress is more fruit
ful of resolutions than a tupelo tree is of
berries, and the comparison may be
carried even farther.
Unless Mr. Hayes should interpose a
veto, the railroad companies will soon
be duly authorized to do a general tele
graph business, and a great reduction of
rates will ensure. Still as we say, Mr.
Hayes may interpose his divine right of
veto which he stole from Mr. Tilden.
The Boston Globe believes that shduld
the project for doing away with. Exec
utive sessions ofthe Senate be' carried
into effect there would be few to object,
since the discussions over nominations
to office are no more sacred than those
on general legislation.
The Louisville Courier-Journal finds
that the Republicans are bulldozing
Hayes in a very desperate manner, and
that they are very anxious to "block
the wheels of Government" by cutting1
short the supply of funds, which will be
very short if' Hayes chooses to veto
legitimate legislation,
Philadelphia Tjuiesi The-, president
savs his backbone is all right, but there
are stalwarts who think that that Jdr.
Hayes' opinion of what constitutes, back
bone differs some from theirs.
