look bock upon opport'mitje* lost,

from the laek oj th* nteesssry sad pos
sible effort! It we knew better b>w to

3Thk Nest Session.—lt is now an
dt-rstuod in Washington that Congress
will be soiled to assemble on the fourth
of June. The fifteenth sod twentieth
of May had been urged a* dates which
would anticipate the hot west her sever

here to tho time originally named Mr.
Hayss dots not bslicvs the session will
be a loDg,onc, but others differ widely
from that opinion Senator Merrimou,
who is st present in Washington, thinks
it W’ll last till nest September, on tbe
ground that general legislation will bo
entered upon and tbat there will b*
•stored upon and that there will be
hostility to the poliey of the admlnie
tratieo- On tbe other bead, it is said
there is a fetter from Senator Blaine in
iba eity wftfcb does not anticipate s
protracted session, and thus indicates
that be does not expect s general war
fare tloug the whole Republican line
against tV; 2i i them policy. Ex-Speak

President Hayes has accepted his
high trust froas tba lawfully created
and universally accepted tribunal.—
Philadelphia Time*
This says the New York Snt*, is the
argument of those wbo patrenice the
fraudulent President, but it is not
sound. It was not a lawfully created
tribunal, becaose it was contrary to tbe
Constitution. It was not universally
accepted, because the protest against
it was earnest and unceasing. And
even if it had b#en lawfully crested
and universally accepted, its decision
was invalid and. remains invalid, be
cause it adopted and consecrated fraud
and declared lie* to be truth. Hayes
received no high trust from that com
mission; be received fraud, and he is
fraud.

rope being iovolved in war tbe prospect
is that corn ibis fall will command
sixty cents to one dolltr a bushel flour
ten to twelve dollars a barrel, and bseon
twenty cents s pound, while it is not
expected that cotton will rescb more
than ten cents a pound. Now what will
it profit a man if be makes a large erep
of cotton and has to give the proceeds of
two pounds of cotton for one pound of
bacon, or six pounds of eotton for a
bushel of corn, and of ooa hundred or
one hundred and twenty pounds ot otlon
for a.barrel of flour ? We advise our
planting friends b fore putting ell
their fields in cotton to the neglect of
breadstuff and forage, to sit down and
deliberately study the problem.
