Talk on Change.

The talk yesterday was Of discounts exchange and
cotton. Something was said about sugar, but as it
will be some weeks before that article will be in
abundance on the Market we do not consider the re-
cent forced sales as any criterion for the range of
prices for the season.
There were several arrivals of boats yesterday.
Cotton In freely from Red river for the time of
year. Fair quantities are also coming in from the
several shipping points on the Mississippi. This
shows determination on the part of many planters
to place factors in possession Of what they have ad
vanced on. We can hardly realize the thought that
there are many planters SO lost to justice and plghed
faith as to withhold their cotton which they pledged
months and months ago to their agents. From pre-
sent indications, do not believe that any important
advance over present prices will be realized for weeks
The price OF cotton in the present extraordinary
position of affairs on this side of the Atlantic, and
expected similar position on the other side will not
for the time being be regulated by the quantity
grown. The question now is gold-that is, where are
the dollars to pay for the cotton? Sixteen hundred
thousand dollars have been received by the three last
steamers at New York. How much of that will come
to New Orleans !? Now, we want to hear of ten mil
lions Of dollars being received, then shall know
where we stand. There are no precedents in the
annals Of commercial history for the present posture
OF commercial and financial affairs, and it is idle to
undertake to predict what the course Of events will
be. If there are any seers change, they seem to
be nonplused for the time being. Whether we are
or are not ont of the woods one thing is pretty
tain, everything in the way of trade has got to de-
cline expenditures have got to be reduced and those
who have been thinking to take the town of Liver.

Gigantic Frauds in Contemplation:
THE PEOPLE OF THE THIRD DISTRICT TO BE
.. CHEATED!l e-


THE PEOPLE OF THE THIRD DISTRICT TO BE
CHEATED!l
Several days ago we told the honest voting masses
of the Third Congressional District that we had
son to believe plots and plans foot to pract
cally deprive them Of the dearest rights of freemen
the elective franchiseor in other words to coonize
sufficient number of fraudulent voters in that Dis
trict to hold and cast the balance of power in favor
of Thomas Green Davidson, the Slidelan candidate.
We then expected most of the colonists-instru-
ments of fraud and corruption--would go into the
Third District from New Orleans, the organ of the
nominally dominant party having publicly given up
the contest, SO far the city was concerned; but
we find mportations from abroad are relied on,
which, with the human rag, tag and bobtail of the
metropolis, are to carry the day against the lion
souled denizens of the piney woods.
From authority of the utmost reliability we learn
that the steamboat Hiawatha from ST. Louis brought
down four hundred Irishmen, whom, it was well un-
derstood had their passages paid for the purpose of
voting in Louisiana. This fact patent and well
known during the trip, as,we are informed.
A large proportion of these persons were landed
below Baton Rouge, and at different points along the
river, as far as Davdson's District extended. The
remainder, one hundred and sxty-five were brought
to the city, and will probably be dispatched in due
season by the Jackson Railroad, to the lower Florida
parishes, to enable the benghted citizens there to
ercise periodically and judicously the inalienable
and inesmabe prerogative Of free and Unrestricted
suffrage!
We understand more men have been brought down
by two other boats, but as we have been unable to
gather sufficient particulars to warrant suitable
notice, we shall postpone further mention for the
present. H."
Truly, this is a amentable and humiliating state
of affairs. Men brought fifteen hundred miles to
vote down and crush beneath their fraud the voice of
the patriotic sufragans of the Third District But,
it is only par with former practices of the Da-
vidsonSlide dynasty, and if the people will allow it
shall have nothing further to say the subject.
We have discharged duty to the fullest extent in
giving them warning in ample time.
