COTTON PAOT0Rs.

We said yesterday that the burden placed
upon the cotton interest Of Louisiana by
the expensive manner in which the crop is
handled in New Orleans is too heavy to
be borne by any free labor system under
heaven. If corn and wheat were handled
in New York and Chicago as cotton is here,
the Northern farmers would soon cease to
produce them.
Under the slave regime, in consequence
of the constantly advancing price of cot
ton and the increased value of slaves from
year to year, the planters, at least many of
them, prospered in spite of the in
cidental but burdensome taxes i'm
posed upon the products of their
plantations by the city factors who
had the selling of the crop. The factors
were then Ia condition 10 furnish ma
terial aid to the planters in the way of
leans, advances, acceptances, etc. The.
benefits may be said to have been mutual
But this is no longer the case. The factor

fact would not loan him money if he could,
so thoroughly convinced is he, at last, that
the acknowledgements tatiOn-negro-driving
system of raising cotton, SO thoroughly
tried and exploded since the war, is a
snare for capitalists and delusion to both
planters and freedmen.
Now as the city factor can no longer
render assistance to the planter, why
should he still claim the privilege of sell
ing crops of the latter at the ruinOus rate Of
per centage and commission charged in for
mer times?
Every man who knows anything about
this important matter and it is all import
ant to cotton growers-understands that
the business of the cotton factor, as hereto.
fore carried on, must speedily come to an
end. The planters will have to take this
thing into their own hands just as the far
mers, who raise and sell wheat and corn,
have done in the North. How this can be
done we will endeavor to explain here
after.

a memorable occasion. Then came that
wholly unanswerable rebus, Is Andrew

problem, "what has Andrew johnson

was badgered with appeals to solve this
riddle, until in despair they asked Mr..
Nelson to let them off for that day at
least, and allow them to sleep upon it.
1t is dificllt to say anything serious con-
corning this absurd performance. But no

think, without agreeing with us in the
opinion that A. J. himself could not have
done his cause much more harm than Judge
Nelson inflicted on it by his rodomontade

TOURNAMENTS,


We notice that grand tournament is to
come off at Lauderdale, Mississippi, on the
eighth of next month. Our candid advice
relative to these exhibitions of the South
ern chivalry is simply " Don't do it," If
there is any resemblance whatever between
the chivalric knights Of the olden times and
the Southern ohivalry, and many deluded
people seem TO think there is, the famous
and doughty knight of La Mancha might
well be taken for fair representation OF
the latter. In fact change the locale, the
names, and the surroundings, and there
could scarcely be better description OF
the original fre-eater and secessionist down
to his role as a national reconstructionist,
than that furnished by CerVantes.
Chivalry throve in bold and brutal age
Of the world: and some OF the most fere-
cious and truculent characters in history,
as Edward l. and Richard l., were knights
of high esteem and high priests of this
then privileged class. OF all the hosts Of
ancient chivalry the fame of scarcely mora
than a single knight has descended to our
times of whom it could be said that he was
sans peur ct sans reproche
The literature and the manners Of the
age of chiFalry were thoroughly licentious
and indicate the most impure intercourse,
of the sexes. What regard for the
marriage VOW, for law and order,
for the sanctities of family life
had the bedizened knight Grant who wan
dered over the world in search of Quixotic
adventure, when nine-tenths of all the So
ciety about him were grooming in poverty
and wretchedness, and who, in our day
would be arrested as a vagrant or locked
up as a lunatic?
The fact is your chivalric knight was
usually worthless braggart, and any at
tempt to reproduce him can only excite
laughter and ridicule. YOU ones, Smith
or Brown, the owner of a saw-mill or per
haps the lucky possessor of cOrnfel and
potato patch, living in a wooden one story
house instead ola grand castle-you have
no mission Of this kind. The thing is sim
ply ridiculous, and we fancy you are
ashamed fit; at least you ought to be. And
you, Miss Mary Ann, Susan, or Eliza Jane
who are infinitely the superiors of the ladiei
who once trained influence and adjudged
the prize, please don't convert your male
friends into fitting knights, and thereby
make us all ridiculous. If you feel thai
you and your friends would be hopelesslJ
degraded by adopting the elegant anc
healthfuI sports of the North, as base ball
cricket, etc., adopt those ofEngland, Germa
ny, or any other country under the sun. Al
we ask is don't make us the Laughing stool
Of mankind by these ridiculous tournament

AFFAIRs IN NOEFHRRN LOUISIANA

Accounts from Northern Louisiana, re-
ceived since the election disclose a most
deplOrable state of political affairs in that
region. The late contest seems to have
revived the old spirit ofhate in the rebels,
who have pursued an organized, systematic
plan Of intimidation, accompanied in many
cases with acts of violence. Not only were
the freedmen prevented from voting, but
the system of intimidation was extended to
the few white men who had the courage
and patriotism to vote for the Constitution
and the Republican candidates The mill
tary protection contemplated by the recon
struciion laws has been entirely wanting.
The officers, inspired by the bad example
Of the President, and the apathy Of the late
Commanding General, have taken no pains
to perform their duty, and the lawless ele-
ment has grown bold in consequence.
II is stated that unless President johnson
is impeached and depOsed, and change
for the better Is at once made in the mill
tary policy in Louisiana, the outspoken
and prominent Republicans in such par
ishes as De Soto, Bienville, Morehouse,
Union, and others in the northern part Of
the State must pack up their effects and
leave for a less barbarOus locality.
From undoubted sources we learn that
the late murder Of Franklin Sinclair was
one Of The grossest of outrages, and the
/ pretended trial and acquittal of his muir.

civil law under rebel administration appear
to have had q striking illustration in the

THE ST. LOUIS, VAHDALIA, AND TERRE
HAUTE RAILROAD.-We have new evidences
that the work on the St. Louis, Yandalia,
and Terre Haute railroad is being vigor-
ously pressed. About a thousand tons of
English railroad iron, consigned to the
company, arrived from New Orleans few
days ago, and fifteen hundred tons more are
expected soon to arrive from Pennsylvania.
General Winslow will on Monday begin the
laying of the first named lot of rails, which
are Of ffty-six pound iron, and then proceed
with the second lot, which is of siXty-fOur
pound. The road will thenceforwRrd be
finished with the latter kind. For some
weeks the company have been busy at sur
facing the completed part, which is now
thoroughly finished to point between Col,
linsYille and Troy. The track is to be pushed
forward to Efingham county, ia bingham,
The late rains have not injured the work,
without delay, but rather benefited it by
settling the rails. The people on the route
are to be Congratulated on the success of the
ea.erp-ise thus far, and its frightening
prospects of speedy completion.

The Michigan Constitutional Election.
A correspondent of the New York hide
pendent gives the following account of the
causes for the defeat of the new Constitution
in Michigan at the recent election:
LANSING, April Z, 1868.
DEAR SIR-Let me assure you that our
Constitution was not defeated by the enc
mics of equal suffrage. Multitudes voted
against it for other reasons. Some were in
dignant with wretched clause relative to
the power of supervisors. Some preferred
to keep the old Constitution rather than risk
the liquor question under the new. Thou
sands had the mistaken idea that it made
salaries too high; and many feared that the
expenses of the State generally would be
ruinously increased. Of course, every be-
sotted negro hater voted no; but they are
not a majority. The battle was lost not by
numbers on that question, but, as battles
often are, by combination of unforeseen
causes outside of the relative strength of
armies.
The party of progress has lost nothing but
little time in the result. The next Legis-
lature will surely Offer an amendment pro-
Viding for equal suffrage, and the people
will, on a distinct issue, ratify it. We have
lost nothing in the election of township Off
GERS; and Michigan is just as sure as Massa-
chusetts for % 900 majority for Grant (and
Colfax, hope) next fall.
Yours, truly, q. b. STEBBlNS,
