savannah Weekly Market.

SAVANNAH, May 7.--CoTToN-Our market has
shown the most une1ampled week Of quietude since
our last that oil have experienced since the war; and
the fact is holders will not yield buyers will not ope-
rate at their figures, and the whole market amounts
to dead lock.
Late declining dispatches from New York and Liv.
erpool have rather staggered the sangune holders,
but without any feeling Of distrust IN the future be-
ing evinced as most parties holding not disposed
to SELL and in fact the bulk Of the entire cotton for
sale here is controlled by men who can do 80, and
who do not expect prices to recede materially, and
ultimately, actual scarcity, to go up very high.
Caution Is wanted sadly at such prices but every
thing assumes on the question OF supply and de-
mand very healthy hue, for cotton moro pardcu-
larly this side of the water as when the foreign
loading feet Is cleared We shall exhibit terrible de-
fcil jor home consumption, which cannot be replaced
except by import, and when all begin that style OF
business We shall have the nucleus OF serious f.
nancial panic.
The stocks in the interior are very limited the to-
tnl amountat the most prominent places being about
2l, ,QOU bales, and our advices from them point to
but small receipts for the rest of the season. Angus
tn will probably receive about 5000 bales more the
whole Of which will be required TO keep the mills IN
that section In operation and the supply fom other
parts Of the State Is almost entirely exhausted. 40
counts from Louisiana point to more favorable re-
suit of present planting than last Here We are
scarcely disposed to contend for as good yield on
account OF heavy freshets, requiring replantng al.
ways precarious. We hope for the best, and quote
as the ruling figure Of the week at SOC for good ord
nary. with in some cases, Gales at lower 1gure5.
Middling Is held firmly at S2c and low midding at
31c.
SEA misunderstanding our quotations Of last
week, we would add that they are nominal receipts
and sales being too small to furniah matter for
market report. few bags Of extra nne have been
soil at 81 80.
The receipts for the week have been 81 bales sea
island and 1855 baes unpland against SO bales sea
island and SOFT bales upland for the same period
last year. The exports have been-to liverpool 500

BRASS BAND.-We are requested TO re-
mind the citizens of GAINESVILLE that an
earnest effort Is being made by several en-
ergetic and deserving young men to raise
snnicient meansto procure Instruments for
the purpose of establishing brass band in
our city. This enterprise certainly should,
and we trust will, receive the hearty support
ana encouragement of all who feel an in
tcrest and pride in the welfare of clariss-
vile. The movement was first inaugurated
lastspring, but was temporarily relinquish-
ell In consequence of the pressure in finan-
cial affairs andthe fears entertained I'm re-
gard to crops. These causes being removed,
they now renew TN cir appeals for aid In this
highly commendable work. ,Themen who
compose this organization are energetic,
steady, industrious mechanics, who intend
to make this their permanent home. The
lack of means to purchase Instruments Is
the only hindrance to the complete success
of the enterprise. Those who have SUBJ
scribed will be called upon in q few days,
and we hope that all who have not will res
pond literally to their appeal for aid in this
laudable undertaking. The advantages of
such an organization are so apparent as to
require no explanation, and the effort
should not be allowed to fail for the want
ola few dollars, when small amount from
each one interested would render 1t u COM
plete success.

TIE bogus f4th amendment to the
Constitution provides that If any
State denies'to any class the right of
suffrage, that entire class shall be de-
Quoted from the basis of representa-
ton. Tlsis was intended to apply
only to negroes; but inasmuch as the
amendment does not expressly say so,
the application of the principle can
not be restricted TO any particular
class, but includes negroes, Chinese,
Indians, and rebels. The latter as a
class, are DISTINGUISHED, by this State,
to the number OF about one hundred
thousand, and of course the represent
tation I'm Congress must be curtailed
to that extent; and in ratio with that
decrease of political strength I'M the
national councils, will be the increas-
ell influence of thenegro element over
the destiny of the whole country
And what is gained in loyalty-tlIat
is, treason TO the Union and the Con-
stitution-will be lost to the political
power of the State, as compared with
the States of the North.
Brownlow claims for Tennessee an
extra member of Congress, on account
of the acknowledgements of the negro,
forgetting that the increased citizen
ship based upon that reimbursement
Is more than eounterbalanced by the
decreased citizenship occasioned by
the Acknowledgement of q large ma
joiity of the whites. So far then from
being entitled to another representa-
tive in Congress, it will be found that
the nth amendment will unseat one
Or more Of the Radicals who now mis-
represent and disgrace the State.
