COMMERCIAL AND FINANcYa1.

small sales OF cotton in the morning, at
3Oc: AT noon, dispatches from New York,
giving decline in gold and quoting mid
ding at 4o@41c., f1al''-a depressing effect,
unchanged. The sales at the Chffamber Of
Commerce was new feature in our nhiasg.
ket. The attendance was not large, and
the sales were light. 1,700 sacks Of corn
were sold at s21@S5c. Flour, S7.4O@s9.
The buying rate of gold was about 25.
CINcINNAT1, March 29.-Flour dull and
unchanged. Wheat unsettled and excited;
choice should bring s2.3o@s2.35. Corn
firm and in good demand, at 52@59c. Oats,
40@44c. Whiskey dull, at s2.23@S2. "a.
Mess pork is in good demand, at $3.50
S2o.25, closing with buyers at the latter
rate and no sellers. Bulk meats duh. at
S2913c. Lard 18c. Gold 81.
LOUISVILLE, March 28.-Therc was q
much better feeling in the market to-day
for many of the leading articles, with an
advance obtained ON several products
which were actually declining last evening.
The improvement in currency and the
very favorable tenor ofthe foreign advices,
have had the influence to enhance prices
and stimulate the market. Mess pork has
advanced fully 81 per Dbl. on previous
rates, sales having been made at s24.75,
but most holders ask s25. .50@$26.
RICHMOND, March 29.-The week has
been one Of considerable excitement on
the financial question. 1t has been one Of
tightness and apprehension. There is
more steadiness in the market to-day. Dry
goods have declined, but are firm.
AUGUSTA, March 29.-There was toier-
able fair demand for cotton to-day, with
but little offering. A few sales were made
at an advance of 1@2c. on Yesterdays
prices. The receipts were 44S bales.
Brokers are buying gold Mt 25@26 and
selling at 2S; buying silver at 20, and sell
ing at 25.
BUSINESS IN NKw YoRK.-The week closes
dull in most departments of trade. In
cotton, groceries and few other articles
o moderate activity is visible, but with
these exceptions, the business doing is
far below the expectations entertained in
the earlier part of the season. The dry
goods trade, within the day or two past,
has shown some animation, but the feeling
IN regard to values is still so unsettled,
that purchases are made with extreme
caution. The city was rarely so full Of
country merchants; but under the belief
that gold must further decline and bring
down other values along with it, the most
OF them refrain from purchasing. Some
few who cannot stand exorbitant hotel
bills are getting their orders filed and
going home, but the great majority are
staying to look on.
New YORK, March 30.-Cotton has de-
clining tendency. Sales of 900 bales, at

be deemed reasonable by such commission
er," "ln general for performing such other
duties as may be required in the premises. :"
All these fees are to be ''paid out of the
Treasury of the United States,'' whether
there is conviction or not; but in case Of
conviction, they are to be recoverable from
the defendant. 1t seems to me that under
the influence of such temptations, bad
men might convert any law, however be-
nIfilcent, into an instrument of persecu-
ton and fraud.
By the eighth section of the bill, the
United States Courts, which sit only in one
with the Marshal and District Attorney,
(and necessarily with the clerk, although
he is not mentioned,) to any part of the
District, upon the order Of the President,
and there hold court ''for the purpose Of
the more speedy arrest and trial Of per-
sons charged with q violation Of this Act"
and there the Judge and the officers of the
court must remain, upon the order of the
President, s'for tho time therein desig-
mated"
The ninth section author zes the Presi-
dent, or such person as he may empower
for that purpose, ''to employ such part of
the land and naval forces Of the United
States, or Of the militia, as shall be neces-
sary to prevent the violation and enforce
the due execution Of this Act" This Ian
guage seems to imply q permanent mill
tary force, that is to be always at hand,
and whose only business is to be the en-
forcement Of this measure over the vast
region where it is intended to operate.
l do not propose to consider the policy of
this bill. 10 me, the details of the bill
seem fraught with evil. The white race
and the black race of the South have hith-
erto lived together under the relation of
master and slave-capital owning labor
Now suddenly that relation is changed,
and as to ownership, capital and labor are
divorced. They stand now each master of
itself. In this new relation, one being ne
adjustment, which both are deeply inter
ested in making harmonious. Each has
equal power insettling the terms, and if
left to the laws that regulate capital and
labor, it is confidently believed that they

COTroN CRoP-From the best information we can
get, are satisfied the cotton crop Of Cherokee is
much better than anticipated after the appearance
of the worms. We have had excellent weather for
picking and the cotton is cleaner from trash than
usual We feel authorised in saying the cotton crop
in Cherokee will yield much to the amount planted
as almost any previous year A good deal Of our cot
ton we are informed is shipped to Houston.

ADMIRAL SEHuEs.-We are sorry to learn that the
Mobile Gazette, admiral Semmes' paper, has suspended
for the want Of patronage. We pleased, however,
to learn from the New Orleans Times that professor
D. T. Boyd superintendent of the Louisiana Seminary,
has secured his services as professor of moral philoso
ply and English literature The Times adds that the
school is most eligiby situated, the high lands,
near Alexandra, Oh Red river and IS in most
foursLiag condition There present one hundred
and sixty cadets and full corps of professors, and
fir as classics and mathematics are concerned the in
stituton possesses al the advantages of Yale and
Harvard colleges It hardly necessary to add that
here is fine library connected with the school, and
that it is in every respect one Of the finest educational
establishments in the south"

TELEGRAPH OFFICE,

Shreveport, Nov. 26, $50.
that the telegraph lines in this department are con
roed and worked by the government, and that it is
devoid Of that promptness attention, reliability and
responsibility which commercial business demands, I
beg to assure them that such is not the caethe lines
having been turned over December 1st 1865, to the
South Western Telegraph company, and since consol-
idated and now known as the Western Union Tele-
graph company whose lines connect with nearly all
the principal cities on the globe. The blanks and en-
velopes turned over by the government which we have
been using in the absence Of other material has prob
ably given rise to such belief In a few days hope
to have others with the proper heading.

We take the above extracts from speeches recently

the public feeling which makes such uteraces oera-
bic 70 an American audience. Governor Curtin IS
well known as an amiabe, biud-hearted, as wen as
able leader Of lis party who has always borne CON
sentative reputation If there is one thing more than
another which has marked the very successful career of
speaker Cofax it is his uniform suayty and his good
understanding with lis opponents. But both seem
utterly to ignore the fact that the is They
use the same style Of address in 1866 with which they
sought to nfame their audiences to the fighting pitch
in 1864 When men like these are found threatening
violence and breathing slaughter is it any wonder that
the Brownlows and the Buffers, the Logans and the
HamtOns like madmen, abuse like scolds, or
threaten like pirates? Nor is it to be wondered at
that people reused to uuthinkng pbrenzy to
greet every sentiment that reeks OF war and blood
SHIELD from the lips of excited orators, should lose
sight Of the fundamental principles OF the govern

patriotism.
