what is the remedy? To apply a corrective to fhis state of things would be, first, to cease giv- ing the negroes ideas above their capacity; second, to make them understand that they are amenable to the laws and as liable to punish- ment for their infraction as the white man; third, to make them comprehend that they qaust work or starve, ‘‘ root, hog, or die ;” and lastly, to leave the whites and the blacks in the South to settle the status of the two races among themselves, just as we do here in the North, without interference from Northern place-aeekers or corrupt and venal adventurers from any quarter. The New Cotton Crop. A very fine quality of cotton of the new crop this year has just been brought to the New York market from Carroll parish, Louisiand It was sold immediately at forty-six cents a pound, It is called the Peeler cotton, and has along, fine staple, approaching that of the famous Sea Island cotton. It is a different pro- duct, however, and, as it was grown in the interior and in the great cotton region of the Mississippi Valley, we suppose it can be raised where any of the ordinary staples are. The Sea Island cotton can only be grown within a short distance from the soa and in a particular locality ; the supply, consequently, is limited. Ifthe Peeler cotton should be generally culti- vated it would make a great change in the market value of this great American product, and might revolutionize the manufactures of the world. This particular kind of cotton was discovered three or four years ago in an acci- dental manner. Mr. Peel, a planter in the Mississippi Valley, found among his ordinary standing crop a plant bearing a much finer and longer staple than the rest. He carefully saved the seed, which he planted the next year, the year after and until he had seed enough of the new variety to sell to his neighbors. Thus it spread and acquired the name of Peeler cotton, No doubt it will be cultivated hereafter more extensively, as it has realized such a high price in the market. We may ex- pect very soon a large supply of this year’s cotton from all parts of the South. This will contribute vastly to relieve the necessities of the Southern people, to improve their condi- tion, and to stimulate trade with the North. We may say now that as far as the material interests and prospects of the South go the tide has turned in their favor. With peace and a continuance of such industry as the mass of Southerners have shown the last year they will soon become rich again Tue “Key” To THe “OrteNTAL QuEstiIoN.”"— A little speck of trouble is gathering in the East, tending to disturb the relations between France and Russia. It appears that froma time “‘the memory of man ranneth not to the contrary” the sacred key to the Holy Sepul- chre has been in the exclusive keeping of the Consul of France at Jerusalem. Russia has now preferred the requost that this momentous key be placed under the joint protection of Russia and France. The French Minister at Constantinople has written home a long pro- test against this demand, claiming that to con- cede it would materially injure the standing and influence of the French in the East. The Marquis de Moustier has made a similar report tothe Emperor, and it was decided to keep “Exclust¥e Whitrol of this key. The further de- f this clavicular affate * Pik bs a --« may, per- haps, prove vo wwe world that the particular “key” for the whole and everlastingly recur- ring ‘Oriental Question” has always been in the hands of France. The Holy Sepulchre has furnished the key to some of the bloodiest wars of Europe and Asia, from the Crusades the war of the Crimea, and the end is we Who knows? -. Renee SCENE QF zy .—-The eleva- Hon of this Relebeatod Spanish géfiéral and statesman to the position of Chief of State in Spain recalls a rather amusing anecdote. In 1839, or nearly thirty years ago, when the Heratp was having a lively tilt with Mr. Seward, then Governor of this State, terming him jocosely the ‘‘small potato” Governor, &c., a number of American shipmasters were present at an entertainment given at a port in Spain—Cadiz, we believe—which Espartero, already a highly distinguished eon of the realm, honored with his presence. Wishing to compliment especially certain New York shipmasters, Espartero gave asa toast, ‘The health of his Excelencia Sefior Small Potato, the Governor of the great American State of New York.” Of course there was great mer- riment among the Americans at this queer misapprehension on the part of the great Spaniard; but it is a question to this day among the survivors of the entertainment whether he was not getting off a sly joke alto- gether at their own expense. Coutapse oF THE Brxokrey INvestica- T10N.—Binckley has failed ; the Binckley prose- cution against Rollins and others of the In- ternal Revenue Bureau has collapsed, and Binckley’s principal witness, McHenry, is in- dicted for perjury. Sowego. Binckley un- dertook too much, It is simply impossible to upset these internal revenue rings by any sort of investigation, with the millions upon millions of money and the powerful retainers they have in both parties to back them up. Daniel in the lion’s den was a small affair compared with this hopeless adventure of Binckley into the mysteries of our internal revenue spolia- tions. And now, it appears, the Sub-Congres- sional Committee on Retrenchment, composed of Messrs. Van Wyck, Benton, Haleey, Jenckes and Edmunds, were in session yesterday at 221 Broadway, examining witnesses, &c., on these alleged internal revenue frauds.

The Election Canvass More Warm—Work- ingwmen’s Candidates for Parliaments Lonpon, Oct, 8, 1868. As the time for the election of members to the new Parliament draws near the interest and excitement in the canvass increase. Many boroughs that have heretofore been hopelessly tory are now contested by the whigs, who are counting upon the favorable ef- fects of the bill for increasing the number of voters and the other liberal measures passed by the last Parliament. In four of the boroughs workingmen’s candidates have been brought forward. ‘The prospects of their success are very favorable. The election of Right Hon. William E.

Splendid Reception of General Mc(tellan in Philadelphia—The General’s Speech to the PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8, 1868. ‘The procession tn honor of General McClellan to- day wasa splendid ovation, During the morning the upper sectionsjof the city were alive with parades of clubs mustering their members and marching to Broad and the adjacent streets, The weather was cool and blustering, with occasional showers of rain. Notwithstanding which the streets along the pub- Ushed route were filled with spectators, some of whom waited patiently from two o'clock untt!l nearly dark, The procession did not commence the march until three o'clock, and were two hours in passing a given point, It was preceded by Grand Marshal McCandless, with his aids, and avery large caval- cade followed, which included about 400 butchers, forming quite a feature, with white shirts and biue SUK sashes, In this portion of the procession were 1,600 mounted men, The Second division was composed of the Guard of Honor and the Reception and State committees, in carriages, escorting General McClellan, who rode in a barouche, and was constantly engaged in bowing to the plaudits of the spectators. Five other divisions followed, including firemen, various war associations and other civil clubs, Nearly every club had a cavalcade included in its ranks, and there were not less than a thousand vehicles of every conceivable description, from the six horse barouche to the single horse York wagou. ‘The clubs were generally clad in red shirts and car- ried fags with the motto, “Welcome Little Mac," The Americus Club turned out very strong, both mounted and on foot. On reaching the Continental Hotel General Me- Clellan reviewed the Ine from the balcony aud ad- civessed the assemblage as follows:— My FeLiow CrrizENs—You who have to-day hon- ored me with your presence, will you accept my earnest and heartfelt thanks—ail thatt have to offer you in retu.n for an honor that I will remember so long as memory serves me. (Cheers.) My comrades, I can receive no more welcome greeting éven in this my native city than the sound of the same cheers that have so often met me in camp, op the march and upon the field of battle.

Upon days that tried nien’s souls those shouts were an earnest that 1 could suey rely upon the heroiam and devotion of the army. They always evinced the love and sym- pathy that united us. When I paried from youon that sad November day that none of us can ever for- get, your voices proved to me that under new coi- manders you wouid lose none of your ancieut hero- ism. They were the echoes from Malvern, South Mountain and Antietam, and were the certain guarantees for your conduct at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, " Gettysburg, the Wilderness, and the crowning victory of Richmond. (Loud cheers.) Soldiers, whether of my own old Army of | the Potomac or of the gallant armies of the West, I thank you from the depths of @ soldier's heart for this welcome. (Cheers.)

AMUSEMENTS. NIBio's GARDEN.—The extraordinary successful Season of opéra douse at Nibio’s Garden ended last night, Mr. Bateman’s pluck in opening the season there in midsummer, when, according to the stereo- typed phrase, “everybody was out of town," has been rewarded beyond even his own sanguine an- Ulcipations, For three months every representation of “Barbe Bleue” has been witnessed by crowded houses. Yesterday evening Blue Beard and his six wives, including the inimitable Boulotte, King Bo- béche, Queen Clementine, Princess Hermia, Prince Saphir, Popolani, Alvarez, Count Oscar and the whole glittering throng of nobles, pages, guards, Peasants, Mexicans and Bohemians (with Mlle. De Rosa as the central figure of the delicious saltatory anachronism of this admirable opera), bade farewell to the frequenters of Niblo's Garden, The village in Brittany, Blue Beard’s castle, the palace of King Bobéche, the alchemist’s cave and the royal wed- ding scene, all dissolved and passed away “like the baseless fabric of a vision.” After the first act Mr. Bateman was enthusiastically applauded while he made the following speech:— LabIEs AND GentLRMEN—I appear before you, in response your geuerous invitation, to perform what I feel to be a dificult task—that of adequately thanking you for the kind and constant support with which you have honored the performances of the opera boug? company during the summer sea- Son at Niblo’s Garden. The dificulties of a sum- Mer season are not few, but it has been my _privile, to find you at all tunes and in all varietles of weather with smiling faces and in great numbers, as to-night, giving ald and encouragement to my undertaking. Not only on my own account, but also on the part of the ladies aud gentiemen of my troupe, whoin I repre- sent, | have to offer acknowledgments; and 1 have moreover a duty to perform to them, for I should be pains. to let the occasion pass without warily testifying to the zeal, the prompmess and the heartiness with which they have seconded ni, eiiorts tor your entertainment. In all my experl- ence as-an actor and #3 & manager it hay never been iy fortune to deal with more cordial and agreeable associates, If 1 could remember all their names L should be glad to express to them In- dividuaily my sense of their merits; but as that is impossible I will only say that all the good will and earnest endeavor that you have seen in Mile, Irma and M. Aujac have been equally dispinyed by every member of the tronpe in his particular sphere. As they are about to leave you for a short time T ought perhaps to tell you where they are going. ‘They start to-morrow for the West, to take the place of the other branch of my company—little Mile, Tostée and the rest—who will be among us in New York again next Wednesday, A few weeks later the entire com- pany will be united and at your service. WALLACK’S THEATRE.—The popular play of “Love's Sacrifice’? was the bill at this house last evening, including the first appearance this season of Miss Rose Eytinge, Mrs, John Befton, Miss Mary Barreit and Mr. C. H. Rockwell. The particular at- traction of the evening was Miss Eytinge’s appear- ance as Margaret Elmore, and by a full and stylish audience she was welcomed with the enthusiasm which announces the presence of a great gun at a Political mass meeting. It ia hardly necessary to say anything more of the performance than the fact that it Was neatly and smoothly rendered in all its detalis; that the dressing was superb, that the costume of Miss Eytinge was “perfectly splendid,” as more than one of the ladies of the parquet defined tt, and that her acting made this old play as good as new, and fresh a8 on its frat representation. She is, in truth, a fine actress, and in all the essentials of youth, beauty, grace, voice and manner she is highly favored, She was 8o well ee however, by Miss Jennings, Mrs. Sefton, J. W. Wallack, Fisher, Ringgold, Stoddard, Rockwell and every member of the cast that she was naturally inspired to do her very best. And so it is, old play or new play, an of solid This evening two pieces, “simon Bor- trand” and “Dearer Than Life.”” New York TAHEATRE.—“OvT OF THE STREETS.” — Judging from the audience at tne New York theatre last night and the way It relished “Ont of the Streets,” it is evident people like familiar scenes and pictures of Iife. There was performed jugt that which we are in the habit of seeing in da'%y life in the streets, markets and other places in this good city of New York, and very effective and amusing scenes some of them are. 4 great deal cannot said for the plot’ of the plece, but it is really ontertaining from the familiarity of the | representations rather than trom the novelty.

McEvoy's HiBRRNICON.—AS we predicted a few weeks ago this extibition yas provede aecinen ape esq, Pixe’g Music Hall being far fo Small fo a6- commodate the fargé audience that nightly repaired thither, the exibition has been transferred to the theatre of the building, which, from dreas circle to the upper gallery, was thronged last evening. The different scenes presented have lost none of their attractions by repetition; but the singing of Mr. Birch admits of a good deal of improvement, while Miss Roland lacks careful and la! “en training before she can do justice to Moore’s-tMelodies, The cos- tume of the Irish driver has very little semblance of the reality, and Mr. McEvoy would materially im- rove the character by substituting the dinged black Ra so familiar to tourists, for the ridiculous article on his craniam with a green band. More shunplicity | and less exaggeration would be nearer the ct which Mr, McEvoy in otier respects so faithfully Masical and Theatrical Notes.

STRANGE PRocEEDINGSs.—Some months since a rich, imbecile old man, named Robert Carrick, died and was buried. Wednesday night, however, the body was exhumed and a poriion taken to New York by two surgeons who had come for the pur- pose, at the instigation, it is said, of some of the heirs of the deceased. Some of the latter have been con- testing a certain codicil to the old gentleman's will, and the case has been before the courts ever since his death, and there are suspicions of foul play by poison adminisiered by his latter-day friends, foc the proof of which the body was yesterday dclivered into the surgeon’s hands for an examination.

ALLEGED ALDERMANIC CORRUPTION,—Some months ago a committee of the Board of Aldermen was se lected to decide upon a site for the erection of a new station house for the Fiftieth precinct. The com- mittee, through their chairman, subsequently report- ed in favor of purchasing a certain plot of ground in Flatbush avenue for that purpose. Mayor Kalb- fleisch, however, sent in a communication to the Board of Aldermen before the ‘inal adoption of the report, asking that an investigation be held in the matter before the question as to its adoption was put. The Common Council then appointed theMayor and Aldermen Whitney, Elliott, Arm- field and O'Brien as a committee of invest tion. Last night a witness cca before this committee and testified that the lots on Flatbush avenue which had been reported by the tirst com- mittee had beea purchased by Alderman Dantels, who caused the deed to be made out in his (wit- ness’) name. The charge is ® serious one, as It implies that the Alderman would have been pecu- Niarily benefited to the extent of several hundred doliars had the littie job gone through successfully.
