ROBBINH , the com epondent of the Inter-Ocean , teems to leu hive learned a losjon in Nebraska politics since the convening of ibe and legislature and the election of Senator Van Wyck. In a late dispatch to his home paper Mr. Robbins makes tbe following remarks upon the result of ihe senatorial contest : VanWyck's candidacy has received bts all the aid aad eoaourageeieBt Senator rich Blunders could give it , and tluc will bo regarded as a victory for the Sana- and dors wing of tha party in Nebraska.

Omaha right v AMERICAN COTTON MANUFAO- TUHES- America stand e second among the nations in the cstent of its cotton nnnufsciures , Englsnd alone out- r Tiking it. It ° w W fait to clore tbe gap , and , gaining control ot thoie mcrkets now Urgely monopolised by Britlih goods , to had the world In the production tnd manufacture of cotton. Tbe canses of the decline of the E iglUb cotton ln.de and the at tendant rise of American textile - n- ufactnres , are not hard to discover. The inflated state of the world's mar ket prior to the commercial panic of 1873 crested an enormous demand for nil classes of cottons , which England , with superior facilitieswas best able to uupply. Evensubseonentlytothopan- ic , np to the year 1876 the markets of India and China wore heavy consumers of English goods an d stimulated the al ready uverstraiaei production of the factories. The crash of 1877 in India and the heavy fall in rupees for which alone ihe goods were sold , entailed fearful losses in the English market. To increase profits the manufacturers resort'd to the most barefaced meth ods of weighing their goods with clay.andthe trick detectedjioonjieatted upon its inventors. The consequent accumulation of cotton goods in tie eitt depressing prices therebslow the. current cost of production in Men. cheater largely reduced the outturn of the English mills and almoit e t oj- ed the usual profits on the piodactlou Before 1873 , theyetr of f-e panic , American factories had ipentjlarge sums in improving the mills and machinery , enlarging their c p ty and cheapen ing the cost of the several processes of making cotton cloth. The hard times following 1873 were juat what wa * re quired for working out the Vest Im provements and the best econcrates , yet keeping the miilc running , ( heir labor employed sad well paid , and the country supplied with ooiion goods at low and falling prices. All this was accomplished , and besides the con struction of 1,750,000 spindles wholly new , other millions of old tpindles and oth 3i machinery of the cotton mills were replaced with nqw of the beet de vices yet known. The result was an increase of prodnctivo capacity far beyond the proportion of added ma chinery , all fitted fez producing bettci goods thao before at ckecper cost. Exporters soon found the piloa of on cottons low enough to enter the for eign markets there to compete with Manchester Roods , and the demand fit home and abroad was sn oient to keep I upg production , when the re vival of bufiinoti osmo our mills found themselves untblo to fill the orders which came pouring in upon them from nearly every portion of the globe. By the report of the census there are now in the United States 230,223 looms , 10,921,147 spindles , which einsnme annually 1,586,481 bales of ootton and employ 181,628 persons. Thirty ot of our thirtyight states have cotton mills within their borders. Momclnss ts leads with 94,788 looms , 4,465,230 cpitidles , employing C2,794 operatives , followed by Rhode Island with 30,274 looms ; Now Hamp- hirowith 25,487 ; Connecticut , 13- , 036 ; Maine , 15,978 , and Now Tarr with 12,822. In the southern slates , Georgia leads with 4,71 ? loonu , fol lowed by Maryland wi h 2,325 and North Carolina with 1.W50. These figures do not include the hosiery tnSlle , or any , of .the mills known KB woolen rnllli , where cotton may be a component material in the manufacture. They show the won derful development of manufactures this branch of indnsiry within the , put twenty yean. The constant red j ? increasing demand for Avoriun cot tons , for export , are sufficient gnsr- antoe for the future.

The howl has gone up all along the trail from Tray , Blanche , and the whole pack , that those who have bein the moit persistent ant and gent in their demands upon this point , know nothing about what they ask for or wh t they want. It is B very great pity , indeed , that all the 'aseurate knowledge upon this question Is confined to tha editor * of the rail road organs and the paid lobbyists. Yet the arguments employed mean only this , if they esn anything at all. It is unfortunate that this information mation is eonfined to such a limited The governors of the great ttate of New York , Pennsylvania , Minnesota , and almost every other state in the eait , hare called the attention of the legislatures of their roipootirea states to the neceiaity of juat such legisla tion as is needed and demanded in this state. Sa far as we are advi od , no one has asked for anything of any op- prf ssive nature in this state in fact , not ueor BO much as is being demand ed elsewhere. Yet wo me told dally that the paoplo here do not under stand or know what they da want. However , we ihink that wo are justi fied in assuring thost newspapers snd others * ho aroworklng so strenuously in iho interests of the railroads , that the people will not be likely to mak * application to any of their class to act si their guardians in this matter. Our Future ) States. , census returns from the tern- tories , ehowing thslr present popn lation and their grosvth slnca 1870 , furnish valuable indications as to their . _ future _ development and the probable time of their admission as states of the inion. Dskota reports tha largest growth in the decennial bariod. Her population Increased from 14,181 to34Q2 , a gain of 120,321. Woh&vo already discussed the future of this vast ie'ion and pre onted reasons for its division into thraa territories , and the spzeay admiieion of the most popu lous diviiion as a elate. The portion of the prssent territory south of the iortv-slxth parallel and east of " the one "husdrodth meridian hoe already a population , if we estimate the Immigration aihca the censujwas taken , not falling much if any short of 100,000 , and another year's influx of new settlers will probably in crease it to 120,000. The eecijon north of tha forty-sir h parallel , lying railrotdjind including tha fertile valley of Red river , Is rapidly filling up wiih rbeat farmars/and mar b expected to grow up to the dignity of a state during the next ten year * . Mont populous of all the territories is Utah , which has 143,80 ? inhabit ants , and has gained 57,121 slnco 1870. .On iho score of population alone Utah has lonx had the right to claim admission us a state , but con gress has never shown a disposition to r cogazo ! this clr.im , and probably never will , so loag as the territory is cursed hj polygamy. To give her sUto autonomy would be to enable its paople to perpstnats polygamy , by atata latta , and to put ihnmselves wholly outside iho reach of federal interference. It is eafe to say that Utah will remain in her present con dition of tutelage until her social life is purified of its peculiar abomination. She is out of the future list of states for an Indefinite period. New Mexico , which actually receded in population between 1860 and 1870 , ia now showing t slow but healthy growth , snd with the completion of the Atchison - son , Topika and Santa Fo railroad to her capittl and the construction of the Southern Pacific line across her pouthera countier , will undoubtedly receive a largo accets of new settlers. We may reasonably look for her cd- mission during tbo n xt five or cix year * . She his now 118,430 inh&bi- tanta.

The Telgr pn Ck > naolldation. Pa.nl Pioneer Prra. consolidation of the Western with the American , like the consolidation of the Weitern Now snd the Atlantic and Pacific' cosspaiUa , has had the of- Next wfilch might have been antici . The business public have be alarmed at tha monopoly of the telegraphic business of the country by , gigantic corporation , and at the St. , prospect of oppressive telegraph tolls ; and tha remit is that in New York and Chicago moTements iavo already been Inangurated _ bf capitalist.- , looking to the establish ment of independent lines between thoie cltiea to form the bate of n in dependent i/stem of telegraphic linci throughout the country. As was de tailed in our Chicago and Hew Tork dispatches , a number of prominent business men and large opJtal- iatsof both cities hare taken step * , each independently of thb other , to form nevr companies for this purpose , and to coard against future absorp tion. There is to be a provision In the charters , which they are to apply for from their respective legislatures , forbidding combinations with any other companies under penalty of for feiture. Though these schemes are yet in embryo , there ia every proba bility that they will be carriad into execution , and for two reasons. First , the great bulk of the commercial busi ness of the countrj is now done through the telegraph. It has becom * such a necessity of the ordinary daily commercial transactions of the coun try that it has about superceded _ tlie nuilo as a means of communicxtiou. Hence , it is of vital importance to all the business interests of the country thtt tha telegraphic toll * should be reduced to thp lowest rate. A a longj therefore , as any rasson es- iss ! for the apprehsnaion that ratat will ba maintained at or raised to a oppressive figure , ag could easily be deco by r. compauy having the exclu sive control of ths telegraph businss * of the country , the business interests of the country will seek to protect thanuelres by the establishment of in dependent ; , teltgraph lints. The second reason if that the est of constructing end ( raa'uitaiuidg telsgrt pfVass is so email in proportion to tfie'revauife ro ceivcd from them that tbera trill b a eonstaat temptation for competitors to enter the fiuld ao long as this dii proportion exists. As t'io country grows waslthier , and the circle of largo capitalists seeking opportunities for profitable mreetment is constantly and rapidly widening , there will be a growing difpetition on their part to encroach on the fields now under the exclusive control of single telegraphic companies. And there is only ono way in wh ch thsy can protect thorn- selves from thuae encroachments , and thai is to reduce and keep their raioa io so low a standard that no independ enfc companies can hope to compete with them. Possibly this may prove to bo the future policy of the recently consolidated companies. If they should adopt the policy of the British postal telegrapli and establish a low upifprfn rafej without regard to dii taoce , throughout tlio ccuut J ' ow , for example , AS the British rate thcro ens be but little doubt that the same zeaults would follow as upon tl introduction of tbe uniform penny rate of postage in Great Britain , or three cents postage in this country. It wonld u vastly increase the busi ness of the telegraph lines , as to yield in the aggregate is hrge a profit as they now obtain in the re duced business of higher rater. . To this complexion it must come at lasi. If the mammoth telegraph monopo lies of the ountry shall not ba forced to the adoption of this policy to pro tect themselves from private compe tition , or the sttll more threatening competition of ihe government , then it wll either be brought about as the result of competition , or by the method every day becoming more popular , the establishment of a sys tem of postal telegraphy by the gov ernment. Wo have a very strong im- , presMou that the existing telegraph companies will eventually sos ths ne cessity of voluntarily adopting this policy as n measure of self-protecti- , and that they will prefer to do all the business of tha country at rates which will effectually defy and repress com petition rather than to do it at rates which are constantly inviting compe tition and governmental interference. Mr. Trod Barr , Mansfield , Ohio , writes as follows : After &uff ring with rheumatism for six months and applying n number of remedies wiihout binefit , I procured n bottle of St. Jacobs Oil from my druggist , Mr. C.
