ceved from Radical sources that disorder
and disregard of human life is widespread in Texas

drawal of the troops.
On the other hand the same correspondent states
that delegation had visited the White House. among

THE MEAT oUssTIos.-If there is one subject more,
than another which troubles planterst is the meat
question. The high price of pork meat the fayorite
food of the negro is serious drawback to successful
planting when cotton is at a low figure There is no
question in the world but the South can raise its own
meat easier and cheaper than the West but the fact is
the planters viii not give it their attention. at least as
long as cotton commands twenty cents per pound.
The ring packers at the West are aware of this,
and they mean to make their knowledge pay them WELL
St. Louis correspondent in writing to the New Or
leans Pcayune, throws ite light on the subject &C.
companied with some very sensible advice This cor.
respondent for which the Pcayune stands responsible
suggests very simple remedy to break up these rings
and bring pork meat down to fair price. We really
hope our planters and farmers will not only avail them
selves of his advice but will seek for permanent re.
lief by raising their in the future Here is
the letter speak of:
ST. LOUIS, Dec 9, 1869.
To the Editors of the Picayune:
Genttemen-l wish to call your attention to the sub
Ject OF high priced meats-I mean pork, hog meat
and think If the South and the Southern people are
true to themselves they in measure put stop to
the imitation OF hogs and hog meat every year
fou must know that a ring " is formed in this city,
as we'll as IN Cincinnati and Louisville, and the other
principal packing points in the West to keep up the
price of pork. These rings are moneyed monopoes,
who have for the past few years assumed to themselves
the province OF giving pork lard etc. the South in
such quantities and at such prices may suit them
Selves regardless of the price of other produce or the
relation OF pork to corn, wheat flour, cheese butter
or any other article They virtusly say the South
ern people: you want pork, must have pork, and we
mean to make you pay for pork
II any doubts this let him examine the nrires
OF Hour, corn meal butter cheese, and every other
censumptive article in the market and see if pork is
not by long odds the dearest
How is this brought about by the monopoly? Su.
perhne -four selling in this market to-day at 81 SO
to 81 75 corn meal at 81 25 to 81 SO per bb; beef
choice mess at IS 30 to 80 per bbl corn at rs to so
cents per bush wheat SIS cents to 81 l6 per bush
pork at s3l to S3l % per bb OR to l6 cents per
pound
Now the remedy. see that your municipal author.
lles have undertaken to regulate the price of bread
Let the press of Louisiana and the entire South inau.
gurate war against the high price of meats Let the
people OF the South come to the determination of not
paying above fair relative value for pork Let them
dispense with the use of hogproducts for thirty days.
and see how last would be the decline The number
Of hogs packed in the West far ahead of last season.
and there will be enough meat for all at fair prices

IHE ApPoRrIoSMENT BILL-Tbe Washington cor
respondento of the St. Louis Democrat under date of

that the House shall have three hundred members the
Secretary of the Interior shall make up the apportion

think two hundred and seventyfve is enough for the
