MORNING,

While it was cold and snowing
here on New Year's Day, the weather
in the Northern cities was as mild as
in October. The Delaware river was
free from ice, and the steamers made
thair regular trips to Philadelphia,
which is a thing unknown, at the
same date, for several years past.

When we saw the negro band be-
announce this fore the Avalanche office, with the
crowd of negroes around, we were
struck with it as a very potent argu
ment to our pure rosy whites of Irish
descent. Had they all been present
to look on, the effect would have been
much greater. The "universal suf

Chancery Court and the Law Court,
occasioned by the resignations of
Judges tfMiTH and Lee, the duration
of which vacancies is only until the

did not leave thirty cents per pound
net for the raw material used in the
hands of the manufacturers. In other
words, cetton mills that were supplied
with cotton from week to week as re
quired for use, at the market price of
eotton for each week, and sold their
goods as produced at their market
value, all, with the special exceptions
above mentioned, either lost money
on the year's operations, or barely
escaped loss. Many mills show in
their balance sheet a resulting profit j
made during the year, from which ;
they are making the small dividends j
of the day. This, however, was
speculative profit accruing to those
who had the sagacity or good luck to
buy at the best time, and from cotton
bought when the prices were below I
the average of the season. The fact
remains that under the system of buy- j
ing cotton as wanted, and selling goods j
as produced, the manufacturing busi- j
MSS generally has been a losing one '
during the past year. Those who laid
in stock early got the best qualities at i
the lowest prices, and other things !
being equal, made the most money of
all that was made. The results to '
those who followed the opposite policy
are patent to all, and need not be j
stated. It is not to be assumed, how-!
ever, that what was good policy one :
year, under one set of circumstances,
would be good policy another year
under conditions very different, if not
quite opposite.
Last year the season began with
nearly all our spindles in full work, !
their production, especially of heavy
goods, being insufficient for the de- i
mand, and for some months they
worked up about 19,000 bales of cot
ton per week; by October 1, 1868, we
had learned the significant fact that
the consumption of cotton in the '
world had so outrun its production j
i during the year that it had drawn i
down the surplus stocks in market j
about SWLtOt bales as compared with
October L 1867; and it was known
early that our crop was turning out
much less ginned cotton than its
appearance in the field and its !
gathered weight of seed cotton had
promised, for it was a wet season
crop, always a small one, while th

sional delegation does not truly repre
sent the State, and not even tba Re
publicans of the State. It is utterly
false that " the L'nion peopl of Ten
nessee " are in danger and they will
not say so. The Chronicle says:
The condition of Tennesson sine the
be a candidate for the Circuit
Court, thus virtually at two elec
tions for the same office. Since,
Judge Marland L. Perkins has
become a candidate. So that there
v. LI be two candidates for the Law
Court vacancy, and perhaps also for
the Second Circuit, and two candidates
iMougan and Carctuers) for Chan
cellor, in case each shall als run for
the long term, which cornea off in the
elftclion of May Gth. It ia gratifying
to know that we have none but wor
thy man in the field. The result will
be determined by the exertions of the
frienda of the different candidates,
upon whoae influence and efforts it
depbnda. The election of the best
men for Judicial ofltees is not second
in importance, but even of more im
porLiiice than that of Mayor.
A considerable number of the
Republican members of Congress are
disposed to demand additional conces
sions fiom Tirginia as precedent to
the restoration of the State to the
Unicn. Another portion is willing to
keep faith, Virginia having done all
that was required of her. When the
ion of remanding Georgia to
military jurisdiction came up, Bixo
eam, of Ohio, Farnsworth, of Illi
nois, and several other Republicans
opposed and acted with the Demo
crate. Thi- shows that the shrewder
end more intelligent Republicans are
beginning to shrink from the con- i
tinued career of usurpation, and to ,
doubt whether party interests can be !
; it. When, therefore,
another similar question comes up,
cod when the audacious project of
putting Tennessee under military ju
risdiction t-hali be broached, we shall
look for the gathering storm of discord ;
In the Republican ranks to burst, and
do much to render them powerless.
Of such members of Congress as
have the hope of any political future,
we may reasonably expect that they
will soon find a limit at which they
will think fit to pause in the career of
Constitution breaking. The argu-ruc-cta
of the Democratic party have '
too much cogency.and the voice of the
!Norih. to be impotent, notwithstand
ing they come from a minority. There j
is a power behind Congrasa in the
peoj If, and there are extremes to
whic h members may not dare to go in
fear of the people. The division on !
the Georgia and Virginia questions '
indicates a beginning of the reaction.
The inflamed feelings of the war are
auaatiding, aud we think the Northern
pco; j u ill n , begin to see their true
interest in fostering and building up,
TrM- r than crashing the South. And
thie gained, we shall expect to see the j
action of Congress, growing daily more
and more conservative, and thia In

since the war, and shows how completely
I Tennessee has fallen undsr relwl control,
i What can Congress do to relieve a people

! liop. We'seo men elected to office who
I are disfranchised by the XIYth Amend

: Democratic leaders that It they per

1 people. The answer in nearly every case
was to defeat every man who took this
view. Under such a terrorism as this the
; l'nion people of Tennessee are in greater
danger than they were during the war,
1 and, unless shielded by Congress, they
; will have to fly to some other quarter.
The whole Tennessee Congressional dele-
grtion, with one exception, Mr. Hawkins,
, have addressed a memorial to Congress
! setting lorth the facts of the case, and this
memorial has been indorsed by Senator
j Urownlow, notwithstanding his support

that of our own Nicolson pavement,

; is a reptile in it of huge proportions.
Ordinances should be drawn to touch
all men alike, and not framed to pro
tect certain interests. There is far too
much jobbing and speculating in Coun
cils, and some day we will strip the
mask off of certain men in both
branches, and show how they open
and iave streets and do other acts to
benefit sections of the city in which
they own property." There is much
in this secret. AVe have observed, as
a remarkable fact here, that the most
earnest advocates of the Nicolson tax
in our Board of Aldermen, were those
from the new wards, where property
wholly escapes taxation on the front
foot principle. We hope our new
Board will never be guilty of a simi
lar atrocity, let the Legislature author
ise what it may.

taiaty that the supply of the world I
for lbOil would be inadequate unless j
consumption should be curtailed by :
advanced prices.
Thi year, the season began with
twenty per cent, ef our spindles idle, j
or changed off from heavy to light !
yarns, equivalent to a reduction of!
twenty per cent, or more in the con-
sumption of cotton, say to lo.OOO bales
par week, a rate not exceeded in the
avenge since June last, and the de- j
mand for cotton goods hardly enough
to take off the diminished production
even at the low and unprofitable ;
prices obtainable. By October L, 18611, j
wo had learned that notwithstanding
Usa reduced supply of cotton during
the year, its consumption had dimin
ished iHiri passu, under the restrain- ,
ing power of high prices, leaving the
surplus stocks in market about the
same as in October, 1808. And now it
is Known mat our present crop is :
turning out month after month an un
expected increase in bales, and much
more Grinned cotton than the annear- :
! ance of the fields, and the gathered
: weight of seed-cotton promised when !
judged under the experience of last
season, for this was a dry season crop,
always a large one, while the Novem
hex and December reports from India
tell of the promised abundance of the
CNp there together giving the world
fair assurance of an increase in the
year's supply of cotton not less than
500,000 and probably 1,000,000 bales. ;
Our prices now, by gold standard,
are above the average of last year, in j
the face of a supply promising to be!
12 to 2T per cent, more than the world !
could consume when prices restricted
use within the smaller supply of that !
year. As these actual and prospective
relations of supply and demand shall '
become visible in Europe, and when i
the replenishing of their local stocks i
shall have given tangible evidence of !
supply at hand, prices there, already i
lower to consumers than ours, may i
find their true relation in further de- ;
cline. The comparison that we have ;
presented of conditiens last year and
this year, suggests the expediency of a j
policy how opposite to that which was
most successful then. When the ex-
Iort trade shall have glutted itself at
IBM present prices, or those two or three I
cents lower (to Is? en a parity with !
Liverpool), doubtless an ample supply
with no lack of better qualities will
remain (or the largest possible home j
