1t has been asked whether the United
States Supreme Court will not adjudi-
cate the pending Territorial Legisla-
ture-that is, the right Of the Territorial
Legislature to exclade slavery. In the
bred Scott case the chief Justice gave
his opinion to the effect that the
Territory, as creature of Congress,
could not do what Congress could not
do; but u case has arisen which will
bring that particular question directly
before the Court for decision. 1t will
involve the distinct question of the
right of Territory to exclude or
abolish slavery. Should the Court
decide that the Territory canDot.ex-
eroise this power in particular case,
the Territorial authorities must be
bound by it; and if in any case the pro
cesses of the Court should be resisted,
the United States Marshal must be
supported to any extent by the Execu-
tive of the United States. The case
which refer to is to come from Kansas.
The Territorial question may, perhaps,
thus be settled by the admission of
Kansas and by the expected decision
of the Supreme Court.

in the former striking the latter, and in
Major Rotrammel drawing and firing a

pistol was fred. Its contents struck
Mr.. Fleming on the stomach, burning
his clothes, but without, it is believed,
entering his person. The force of the
discharge was such as for the moment
to stun him. The ball, if the pistol was
so loaded, probably glanced and lodged
in the wall. 1t could not however, be
found. Mr. Fleming we are glad to
hear,ais NOT considered dangerously

| remarks IN relation to the
Growing Wealth of the South.
GAS the official returns of the popu-
lation and wealth of the different par
ishes of this State have been made
public, it has been a matter of pride to
note the fourishing condition in which
they present Louisiana. No single
county of any older State, with all the
aids of commerce and highly i'm
proved system of agriculture, has pre-
scented so cheering an evidence of
public prosperity, or more reliable
means for future progress.
The casual returns of the census
of this year from other slave States
furnishes the same steering facts. By
a reference to the returns for 1856, s57,
SO, and so, from the State of Texas,
the growth in wealth presented by that
frontier State is truly surprising. The
value of lands in one year, 1856, with
out the stimulus of completed railroads,
increased $6,694,2SS The total amount
of land in private hands showed more
than b thousand acres for every white
male citizen assessed with a poll tax.
The number of slaves was increased in
the year 1856 by an additional number
of l2,404. In 1852 and s5S the increase
was still lager number; while lands
rose nearly to double their estimation
in 1854, under the influence of railroads
and other favorable circumstances.
The production of the State was last
year put down at $3O,000,000, and its
exports at $20,000,0O0.
What non-slaveholding State, COM
pared with its population of white per-
sons, has produced sum which would
divide among the whites so large an
amount to each individual, taking sim
ply the exports as the basis of division,
as the State of Texas?
Smith county, in its census returns
for the present year. gave a property
valuation of $4,164,196, while the en-
tire white population is only 5,440 souls.
This gives more than 800 to each man,
woman and child, in the county. Such
is the result given by the industry of a
frontier population, in county whose
resources are yet undeveloped and
whose future of prosperity is scarcely
yet Indicated
Similar results are now furnished
from all of the Southwestern slave
States Their position is certainly ex-
tremely favorable. They all exhibit an
extraordinary prosperity, and we may
with some confidence conclude that the
figures given show, a law governing the
in wealth and all the essentials
of healthful progress that applies to
every community where slavery is an
element of the social organization.
These facts show strength which
cannot easily be overcome, and exhibit
the means in the hands of the Slave
States of producing profound impress
sion upon all communities whose views |
lro hostile to their peculiar insti-
.utious,"

The Territorial Questions fol-
D lowing, from the National Inteligonccr,
will at this time have peculiar interest
for all Southern readers:
We observe that s'Ion,' the Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, intimates that tho precise phase
of the Territorial question: which
was contemplated in the Kansas-N Nc
braska bill, and which by that measure
was referred to the decision of the Su-
preme Court, has just arisen in such Il
manner as to make case for adiudca-
ton by that tribunal. 1t is known that
i'll the case of bred Scott, the court
was simply called to consider the qucs-
tion in its relation to the power of
Congress over tho Territories, and
did not technically ascertain the Emi-
tations within which Territorial
Legislature, acting under the organic
law of Congress, might proceed to
mould and regulate the domestic insti-
tutions of Territory without infringe
ing the constitution of tho United
States. Indeed, to settle this question
in all its details was admitted by Mr..
Justice Camhbell to be beyond the iu-
risdiction of the Federal Judiciary.
We are not appraised of the facts con-
shutting the case indicated in the sub
Joined correspondence, but give the
statement ON the authority above do
signated.

Sun says:

Northern and Southern Banks.-The
New York Courier and Enquirer, of the
9th, making q comparative statement of
the strength of Northern and Southern
banks, accompanies it with the follow
ing just remarks:
The specie held at the South is fully
equal to that of the North, while the de-
mand at the former for coin is really in
considerable. Even at New Orleans,
which is tho. best fortified city in the
Union financially speaking), the ordi-
nary demand for specie is nominal.
There is really no export abroad, and
the unfavorable balance of trade may
always be anticipated 60 or 90 days,
thus giving the banks at that city ample
time to prepare for paying balances in
coin.
AT New York, on the contrary, we
frequently ship our two millions of coin
in a week. We are liable to a recur-
renee of such shipments every season;
and at every month of the year. Yet,
with this still pending liability-with
millions of deposits for account of
country banks and forign capitalists
with an impending political CRISIS in
i1IuopSj ouI NcW DIX DunkS are
barely provided with cash to pay their
out-of-town balances.
Boston, which is the redeeming point
for thirty millions of bank circulation,
and twenty millions of deposits, holds
less thanefve millions OF coin-depend-
ing again upon New York, in case of
need.
The above table shows that Kentucky,
Missouri, and Virginia, are moro con
servative in their systems than our
own; while the free Cor faise) paper
money systems of Illinois, Wisconsin
and Indiana, re based upon that
which is not money, and which, in
time of need, will not produce money.

Wheat to liverpool. Mr.. Geo.
Little, of Chicago, purchased, in Sep
TENDER last, and shipped cargo of
wheat from that port direct to Liver
pool, by way of the st. Lawrence river.
On last Friday week he received let
ter informing him that the grain had ar.
rived at Liverpool in twenty-five days
from the date of its shipment at
Chicago.
The route of shipment was as fol-
lows: From Chicago to Port Claiborne,
Upper Canada, thence to prt
Dalhousie, through the Welland : !,
from. that place to Quebec by prope
and thence to Liverpool by stear.
Deducting the delays and stoppages
the various ports of transhipment, the
number of days of travel was only
eighteen.
We would like to know whether the
amount of freight from Port Dalhousie
to Liverpool, was higher than from that
place to Oswcgo, thence New y ork,
over the canal or railroads and the Hud-
son river, and from that city to Liver
pool. For this is the knot of the question,

The Wheel of Fortune.

Only twonty years ago last November,
Louis Napoleon, tho present Emperor of
France, left tho st. Charles Hotol without

Bee of November 2oth, 1889, appeared tho
following account of tho noble Counts de-
parturo from that city:
Count Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, whose
arrival to this city was announced in several
of tho papers, has loft New Orleans in high
dudgcon, and for just reason. Ho was yes'
terday informed by the proprietors of the
ST. Charles Hotel that 1t was customary for
gentlemen travelling without baggage, (thc
Count was splendidly provided in that way
for a man of his tituIar dimensions.) J 10 pay

following dialogue ensued:
Count-My name is sufficient guarantee
for my bill.

good one but won't buy marketing.
Count-Make out my bill.
