GENERAL BUSINESS.


There is but little change to report Il
our general markets. Produce remain'
firm with very fair stocks on. hand. Corn
is held by some dealers for higher prices
but the. market is not very active
Buyers generally are very conservative
in their views, and purchase just whai
they are compelled to. The aggregate
sales Of our city at this time viii, how
ever, make a very fair showing, and 81
nearly everything is bought for cash, we
do not know but what tie condition OF
our market is as healthy as it has been
fer many months.
COTTON. There has been so much
excitement In this staple to-day, that ae-
curate quotations, as well as the impress
siOns OF buyer and seller, are bard to
give. The market rose with each hour
during the day, and every dispatch in
creased the views Of factors and caused
buyers to offer freely the figure at which
but few moments befors they hesitated.
The closing new York dispatch quoted a
decline, but it did not eallse holders here
to eoncede anything. The market closed
firm, with margin Of from A69lc above
the offering figures. There are many
orders here to fill, some of which are
limited, while others are not, and it is
probable that most of the latter viii be
closed out tomorrow.

How TO TAKE CARE OF BEEF
HIDES. In the first place, be particu-
lar not to cut or scar them in taking
off. Trim out the tail bone, horns
and scull; cut off the legs about eight
inches below the knee. Ifyou are not
near market, and wish to dry them,
salt them lightly Immediately after
skinning. Hang up on pole-not
over Darrell head or pickett fence
flesh side out, and well stretched from
head to tail. Always hang under
cover to protect them from the storms.
BY following these instructions, which
are very simple, you will always get
the top of the market, and recollect as
the warm days of Summer come on the
moths 60 to work on hides-and soon
render them worthless.-Hide and
Leather Journal.
The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1867-06-01

Stagnation and distrust are the
characteristics of business affairs in
every part of the country. The paper
currency is abundant, and is piled VI
by the bale in the commercial cities,
particularly in New York. There is
no safe business calling for its en-
ployment, and its holders are chary OF
loans upon any sort of security less
valuable than gold itself We have
noticed instances in which planters
and cotton factors from Georgia have
offered in New York o high rate of
interest and most ample security upon
crops, land, DC, for money to make
their plantations productive, and they
could not obtain it in the great COM
mercial emporium. This is the more
remarkable for the reason that, by a
law of the State of Georgia, a first
lien is given to the lender upon the
crops and property.
These facts show a want of conf
dence in the present condition of the
affairs of the country that is truly
ominous.-National Intelligencer.

ANprRsoNYrIrr VERSUS CAMp Mon.

ANDERsoNyILL VERSUS CAMP Mon
ToN.--We would be glad to have the
Journal answer us plain, simple
question. If the rebels deliberately
starved and tortured our prisoners to
death in their vile prison pens, why is
it that the reports Of the War Depart
ment show a greater proportion of
deaths among rebel prisoners in the
North than among Union prisoners in
the South !? Why is it that rebel pris-
oners at Camp Morton, Johnson's
Island. and other points, who were
kindly treated, comfortably clothed,
well fed, and scientifically doctored,
died out of the service more rapidly
than our own men who were starved,
frozen, shot, inoculated with hospital
gangrene, and otherwise fiendishly tor
tured to death in the hells of Belle
Isle, Salisbury and Andersonville P
indianapolis Herald.
The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1867-06-01
what the Acts Require.

The Reconstruction acts require
twelve months citizenship. with resi-
dence, prior to the time of voting, an
age of twenty one years, non-dis-
1ranchisement for felony or par
ticipatlon in rebellion, an oath of
obedience to the Constitution and
laws, and the averments that the
afiant has never been q member of
any State Legislature or holder of
any executive or judicial office in any
State, and afterwards engaged in insur-
rection or rebellion against the United
States, or given aid or comfort to the
enemies thereof, or that he has never
taken an oath as member of the Con-
gress of the United States, or as an
officer of the United States, or as
member of any State Legislature, OF
as an executive CT judicial officer of
any State, to support the Constitution
of the United States, and etterwards
engaged in Instruction or rebellion
against the United States, or given aid
or comfort to the enemies thereof.
This is plain. No matter what SER
vice, in military or civil capacity,
man may have rendered the Confede-
racy, provided he had not previously
held an executive, Legislative or judi
ciaI office in any State requiring him
to take the oath to support the Con-
stitution of the United States, or has
NOT taken the sana ~--el- ~.-~LO.
of the United States Congress or as a
United States officer-he is authorized |
to register and vote. And he is au-
thorized to register and vote, even if
he has held these official positions and
taken the necessary o ath, provided he
gave only passive support to the
Confederacy. In cases of doubt they
are to be construed favorably to the
applicant.
The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1867-06-01
Domestic Markets.

We beg to cal the attention no
only of the Registers, but our citizens
generally, to that part of the Attorney
Generals opinion which refers to dis
qualification. He says:
must repeat what has been said
before, that to avoid disqualications
two elements mus concur-frst, hold
ing the designated office, State OF
Federal, accompanied by an official
oath to support the Constitution of the
United States; and second, engaging
in the rebellion against the United
States, or giving aid or comfort to its
enemies; both of these must not only
concur, but they must concur in the
order of time mentioned-frst, the
office and the oath, afterwards en-.
gaging in therebellion, or giving aid
or comfort. A person who has held
an Office within the meaning of the
law, and has taken the official oath, and
who has not afterwards participated in
the rebellion may very safely take
this oath, and SO, too, the person who
