The result was an utter collapse 6f the porner. and although doubtless many brokers have lost heavily , the cotton kmc hns not como out with flying colors.

The opening of the market was awaited vltlt great anxiety and the excitement ot the : row < l on 'change has not been equalled Jlnco the tlmo of the .groat Mor ris Hunger cottii corner in 1881.

Whatever Mr. Hattou's object may be in making these cbarges , helms put them lu a form which will demand some kind of action at the hands of either the civil service com mission or those- responsible for It. A FILIIIUSTKIHNO OUTLOOK. Congressman Gates , of Alabama , the ox- confedcrato who led the filibusters in the last congress against thu direct tax hill , and who Is one of the ablest men of his side of tlio boiiso , was recently lu Wash ington and now sends back some expressions. Ho bitterly opposes the propo sition to have u democratic leader Wno will hold the reins and eraek the whip over the democratic members of the Fitty-lli-it con gress. Ho regards Mr Haudall us being on the other side of the fence from the majority of his party , whllo with Sunset Cox dead the IJrcckinridgcs cannot control the body of democrats located lu the north. Ho docs not bellevo that Mr. Carlisle will bo able to lead the democrats en masse. "The democrats , " says Mr. Gates , "will never follow a leader lllto the republicans. Tlio republicans like a fiock of sheep will Jump the fence and follow the bell wether- buck wherever ho goes. Our people kick up behind , because there are issues Within the ranks such us the customs duties , the internal revenue and the southern ques tion , on which we dlviuo. I think that there should bo u steering committee appointed from tlio most conspicuous democrats iu tno bouse , whose business it xvill bo to suggest lines of policy , and to submit them from tune to tnno to the caucus. Wo will know Just what we are uoing then , and II wo have any differences wo can settle them lu caucus , in stead of on the fioor of the house lu open ses sion. " The fact Is , the democrats iu the Fifty-first congress are so split up ou the issues that they can never come together , mid there is something far seeing lu what .Mr. Oatcs says. A "steering committee" can bo composed of n member of each wing of the party. For Instance , tariff protection , Kan- dnll ; free trade , Carlisle ; anti-negro , Oates ; solid south , the Hrcckmridges , uud others representing an unfair count , un-recoiibtruc- tion and bulldoring can compose the com mittee. If nothing else is done it can agree that every effort shall ho bent toward keep ing the republicans from legislating. Colonel Oates Is very outspoken In what ho has to say. almost rebellious , and if what ho lias indicated is to ho put with the recent utter ance of Representative B.yiiuui , of Indianapolis - apolis , the democrats urn laying the pipes to spend six or eight months In filibustering mid fighting against legislation pledged by the republican party.
