savannah Weekly Market.

SAVANNAH, April ACKNOWLEDGING the early
part of the week under review our market evlnced
considerable excitement, which quieted down to-
wards the close, our factors generally feeling 100
strong to yield to prices offered Our receipts nave
been 600 bales an amount, as we expected, con-
sideraby over last week. in consequence OF the large
orders filed in interior towns frou this place. Our
sdyices from these points show great reducoon OF
stocks and we have no sufficient evidence as yet to
predicate any more Cotton to come IN than We nave
already given as likely to be received. New Orleans
adces also greatly in favor OF crop OF less than
two and quarter millions, Notwithstanding her
own apparently heavy receipts. We estimate the
receipts at all the ports for the week at 4S0oO bales
but In giving this We would state that We are just
large enough here to make 1t positive that interior
stocks are greatly reduced We also hear OF an Ala
bama demand in our up country markets which ls
TO the general opinion in stating that the position OF
Cotton from the figures presented, warrants all the
confidence r. posed in it. We offer as closing prices
to-day Mddling 80; low middling 20; good ordt-
nary 90.

Impossible to obtain a Fair Trial 20


In the United States Senate on Monday last
Mr.. Conkling called up joint resolution to

the Circuit Court Of this County to the United

The honorable Senator from West Virginia
must surely be indulging a little piece Of face
,;opsnsss. The idea Of a Radical finding 1t I'm
,ossible to obtain fair trial in jefferson Coun-
~ where Judge, jury, officers Of all grades,
LAWYERS and voters almost without exception,
are Radicals, is simply tarcical. Or ifthere be
any truth in the Senator's statement, itis are
Fiction on bis own party. It was only few
DAYS ago that senator Chapine, in the Radical
STATE Convention, claimed SresSlouA' u''''
ina,ion as due TO this County because $500
legal voters had been disfraHehise3 in the ln-
terest Of the Radicals-leaving only some three
hundred to control the affairs Of the County
Senator Wiley knows that no person but
REGISTERED rofsr can sit upon a West Virginia
Jury. and an examination Of the lists Of jurors
empanneled for the Courts Of this County Tor
the past three years viii reveal the fact that but
little Of conservative element has dignihed the
Jury box.
Il is Senator WILEY who gravely asserts

The Presidency.

Politicians are becoming very active IN view
Of the near approach Of the time for holding the
National Democratic and Conservative Con-
vention in New York 1.-THE 4th Of JULY
We are Of those who think the nomination
is due to President johnson, with such Vice
President as Senator Dixon or Governor Eng
rsb Of Connecticut. Whatever Of effective re-
sistence has been interposed to the excuses Of
Radicalism has been through the iron will Of
Mr.. johnson, under circumstances well calcu-
lated 20 appal men Of ordinary metal
Many Of the ofice-seekers blame him for not
using the prescription broom freely, but these
do not seem to remember the true condition Of
affairs. With two-thirds of both Houses Of
Congress against him, the greater portion Of
them maliCuantsof the worst stripe, what more
could he DO than he has done?
Antagonists have naturally sprung mp, and
the friends Of prominent candidates are couse-
quently pushing their own as well as the for
tunes Of their favorites Pendlston Hendricks.
Doolttle. and T. p. Blair in the West; Sey-
mour. Hancock. Dixon, and English in the
North and East and now the friends Of Judge
Chase are pressing him as an original State
Rights Democrat. Our want Of space forbijs

We had no desire to enter into a newspaper
controversy concerning the respective merits
of these machines, but could not in justice to
ourselves be silent after reading the article of
the SPIRIT of May 10, in which the editor
spoke of Wheat Reapers in general, but took
good care TO particularize, as he subsequently
admits having spoken with perhaps too much
favoritism of the pioneer in the field of pro-
gress the Mccormick Reaper.
In his reply to our article he says: " that
our readers may not misapprehend either the
Agents OF ourself, we publish their card, tho
not solicited to do So" Certainly we had 10
objection neither will we interpose any Objec-
ton to his re-printins the following card which
bears n singular resemblance to the one quoted
by the Spirit, the names being the substantial
difference:

anv rivalry that exists is between other ma
chimes Of less notoriety and inferior merit.

the chief object Of this communication being to

Second Cong essionai District.

The Radical Congressional nominating Con-
veution for this District, says the Martinsburg
Nepc Era, Of Thursday last, met at Clarksburg
last Thursday. The contest between the
friends Of the various aSspirautS was warm and
bitter. After much wrangliug, James W.
McGrew Of Preston. was nominated. As we
predicted, the Hon B. NJ Kitchen was stab
bed in the house Of his friends" Weeks ago
we saw that his doom was written. The skill
ful manner in which the wires were worked by
those opposed tn him, clearly foreshadowed
the result TO our mind We have in our time
seen, and kno some little of party trickery,
and it is not unfrequently that the very best
men are overslaughed by its workings. In
this case we pass no opinion. Mr. Kitchen is
a good citizen, and in all his private dealings is
known to he an honest, upright straightforward
gentleman. As politician he has certainly
stuck close to the tenetS Of his party The
most Radical could hardly find fault with him
on that score. In view Of all this, he was GER
tainly entitled 20 the endorsement of a renom-
ination by his party. This would simply have
been in accordance with the usual custom in
such matters. The failure to give him such
endorsement is an implied rebuke of no mild
type What he has done to merit such sting
ing condemnation at the hands of his party
friends, we know not, and care less-it is not
our funeral. However, the offence, if any,
must have been rank, if the punishment be
inst
