Caved in.

The Glasgow Times and Howard County
Banner have been for some time past,
catechising each other. The Times prompt
ly answered all the inquiries put by the
Banner, and in return the Banner, with
much more frankness than was to have been
expected, proceeded TO answer.
1t will be remembered that the Constitu.
tional power Of Congress to legislate on the
subject of slavery, was first made test of
Locoloco orthodoxy in Howard county; and
that General Clark and few others en-
deavored to get up the same test in the Wing
party. On this question Clark severed his
connection with the Wings, and is now a
candidate for signal defeat in the Congress
sional race with Lindey. The Banner
comes out when pressed by the Times and
openly repudates the test, and as we think,
fairly begs the question. The following
article taking from the Times of Thursday
clearly shows caving-in on the part Of the
.Antis Lexington Express.

ST. LOUIS MARKET.

From the Price Current, 9th.
ToBAcco.--We have to report an extremely dull
market for all descriptions except manufacturing
qualities, which are in steady demand at good pri
ces. For Tugs there are few BUYERS, and lots dur
ing the week, which comprised the greater part of
the offering, were taken at prices ranging, say
factory Tugs from SO so to 81; and planters from
81 10 81 so V 100 bsthe outside figure for choice
OF shipping leaf, few hogshesds offered were bid
in-the price not being satisfactory. We believe
there is scarcely shipper in the market, and the
price is nominal say for seconds 50 25@ 81 Is; and
frsts s5@6 IS p 100 ms. Manufacturing wanted
at full prices-common to good leaf ranging from
Sc TO $40 SO T. 100 ms; no fine offering.
In manufactured tobacco there is no movement,
and the business of the market is confined TO the
limited vents of the trade.
HEMp--At the date Of our last issue, an increase
demand sprung up for The supply of manufacturers
ORDER and for shipment to the eastern markets land
a further advance was established--some 800 or
900 bales having been taken, including common
and good from S145 to $i55; prime and choice at
S16O to Sl65; and dressed at 1920 p ton. The
market has since been steady, with good demand
for good and prime qualities, but the lower grades
are neglected. Upto Wednesday evening, about
1000 bales had been sold, including $50 bales at
Sl4s; 100 bales common to fair in lots from $50
10 sl56; small lot at $3.50; and about 200 bales
prime dressed at 1920 p ton. For two days past
the stock on the landing has consisted OF lower
river hemp, which is very inferior and badly broke
for which there is no buyers. and the sales were
confined 10 some $50 balls common to fair, in lots
at S150@$l56 p ton. The better qualities were
in active demand at the close at full rates as above
quoted.
BALE RoPE-At the close of last week and be-
ginning Of this, some 300 coils No. country were
sold at re p ID, since which we have heard of no
sale. At close there were buyers at the quotations
but no sellers.
BAcoN-Has been heavy during the week. par
ticularly joints, and limited business mas been
transacted in the article. Sales comprise some 200
or 300 cks, in lots--common 10 prime country
shoulders ranging from TO 4sc; rib sides from 81
to &c; clear from g. 10 7c; country cured hams al
6@6ic, and city from 81 to 7c per IL. Canv ssed
and sugar cured hams sell from to &c p 10, rs in
quality, order &C. For country cured, only strict.
y prime lots, in order, will sell at the outside rates
and rough or inferior, either in quality or order
will hardly command the the lowest figures.

Respect for the Compromises of 1850.

Compromises OF 1850 and 1920, but which
has never missed an opportunity OF glorying

Pacific Railroad.

The Pacific Railroad Company, it seems,
is in tight place, and unless muney is raised,
the work will have To stop. This has been
badly managed road, and the officers have
been censured for their heavy expenditure.
1t is thought by those who are competent to
Judge, that the road has cost $4,000 more
per mile than it should have done. Pecuni-
airy considerations it is thought, has been the
cause OF this. Twoyea ha. nearly elapsed,
and only about thirty miles have been COM
ple,ed, and the money is all expended. The
County Court, has ordered an election Tor
Monday next--sth inst. The object Of this
election is 10 give tax payers an opportunity
OF voting, whether they are willing To sub

600 in four years, TO be appropriated TO the
completion Of the Pacific Railroad 10 Jetfer-

Europe bonds having term Of years ia
run, cannot be sold unless at agreat sacraiice.
Bonds, predicated upon the annual taxes and
having only one, two, three and four years
10 run, it is thought would command par
This will be special lax, and tax payers we
believe will receive Railroad scrips, for the
amount paid, and when the sum OF 81 ,00O
is presented, stock Tor that amount of the
company will be given. The refusal to sub
init to this taxation will no doubt have al
injurious effect upon real estate, and tend &c
deprecale it. Real estate holders and bust.

vantage To submit 10 taxation.- 81. Louis
