Tobacco Exchange.

observe this new move by our tobacco men was
gone into last Thursday by selling on the square,
next door to the Northern Bank, at which there was
an unusual large attendance, owing to its convent
to all parties. The sale was spirited and the
article sold well at an advance the previous day.
Twas glad to see many new parties around the board
business of every class. Heretofore it has been
entirely ont of their power to attend it has been
too far for them to go, consuming too much of their
time.
can but think this good move for all parties
being more convenient for buyers and expedting to
warehousemen afIording to the planter an oppor-
tunity to sell his tobacco at any time instead of
waiting an appointed one; also concentrating the
buyers, thereby afIording more bidders, which is
guarantee of better prices. hope all parties will
give this move their countenance and support as it
should have. OBSERVER.

neS- We learn through our Nashville exchanges
that terrible affair resulting in the death of two
men and the wounding of third, occurred last
Friday, on the steamer d. l.. Hodge, while on q
trip down Red river, from Shreveport to New Or
leans. One of the men killed was Mr.. Charles Fort,
lately of this city and the other was Mr., r. j. Lyles,
OF Nashville. 1t appears that hunch-backed man
got on the boat at Shreveport and took deck passage
for New Orleans. He had about 500 in money,
part of which he gave into the keeping of the clerk
of the boat The next evening he told the clerk
that there were two men on board who wanted 10
kill him. and asked to be transferred to the cabin.
This was done; and that night after nearly all the
passengers had gone to bed, this man, Sheath, ap-
preached a table where some two or three others
were sitting and Selling one of them attempted to
cut his throat with Bowie knife aud although
prevented from executing his purpose fully, he in
licted pretty severe wound Mcssrs. Fort and
Tyles who were sleeping close by, were aroused by
the noise made, and on opening their state-room
door to look out they were attacked, after the
other, and fatally stabbed by Sheath. Neither OF
them lived five minutes after being wounded
Seath was finally disarmed and secured, and II was
only through the earnest efforts Of the captain of tn,
boat that he was saved from Lynch law on the spot
He together with the bodies Of his two victims, wa
taken on to New Orleans and handed over to tn,

say The editor Of the Richn,cnd Wing says Of
Andy Joi.i,sons Homestead Bill that Ne regards iAsll
such legislation as violative of the purposes for
which, and the principle on which, the public lands
are held BY the goveinment---as agrarian in ten
dcncy--sud as calculated still more to aggrnndize
the abolition States at the expense of the South =
and of the author Of the bin the Wig says aheis
an uAmitigated radical and demagogue"
That is all very plain talk, but no less true, we
believe, than plain, from most Of the States and
Territories in which the public lands are located the
South is,excluded by-anti-slavery laws. Southern
men will not go to them Because they cannot take
their slaves wish them; and the only way in which
they can derive benefit from the public lands at all
IS in having them sold At prices that will enrich the
government and then they share in it only indi-
rectIy, rot positively. But the agrarian Senator
from Tennessee that delectable poor mans friend
Andy johnson, rot content to have the public lands
cpen at fair price, TO freesoilers, alone wants to
give the lands to them. The bill has passed the
Senate. 1t provides that any head Of a family may
take up 100 acres, and ifhe shall build a house on
it, and live it FIVE years, then, on his paying %
cents acre for it, it becomes his property This
twenty five cents part ofitis an amendment. Andy
wanted to gise the land away. Such a law might
do if before passing them the reesoers did not pass

Mr. EDITOR II desire to avail myself of the wide

either direct or remote. aude to the Tobacco
Exchange. An effort is now being made to estsb-

ton she has won as a tobacco market to look well
into the tendency of the proposed new concern.
The manner of selling tobacco here ever since an
inspection was established every one knows
The sampling, inspecting, and classifying of the
tobacco is left to competent honest men, and Sc far
as we know, or have ever heard, the duties of the
inspectors have been satisfactorily discharged. AZ
ter the inspection the samples neatly tied, and label
led, are taken to "the board" where all the buyers
are congregated, and these submitted, one by one,
to them, and sold at public auction. Can any mode
of selling be fairer than this, or is any other method
of serg more likely to produce the full value of
the tobacco. Certainly not, think. Under this
system, to say the least tobacco has uniformly
brought a higher price than in any other market
South or West Where then is the necessity for a
change? Under the ordinary prudential rule Of
'letting well enough alone" none should be thought
Of But oneis thoughtof and is earnestly advocated
/ by most Of the buyers and some of the warehouse
men, and the change suggested is radical and com

take all the samples from every warehouse, to one

Now il no one is to be benefited by this change il
of course, ought not to be made, and il therefore
becomes proper TO ask "eho is to be bcnelitted''
Is it the Planter Howl Is there anything in the
proposed change likely TO benefit him. or is it like

The deficiency in his Office has been known it is

The abominable democratic custom of levying
contributions from all office-hoders to carry cleo
tions must Of ITSELF infuse corruption throughout
the whole mass of them. They take money, oSten-
sibly from their own pocket, to promote and sus-
tain this democratic cause, and then reimburse their

how much the country is benefited by the rule of
such patriots may well be seen in this last exposed
