fed that such is the case to a very great
extent.
BY Mr.. Beck:
Q. You were elected to the legislature
yourself uRder the constitution?
A. Yes, sir; my friends nominated ana
elected me without any solicitation on my
part.
on the adoption of this constitutions
A. Yes. sir.
Q. How many members OF your commit
tee are candidates for Office under this con-
stitution:
\. Very few, sir. The committee was
selected from the party without any regard
TO personal interest but for the purpose
simply of subscribing the interest of the 10y
al people of the State. This Is the para
mount consideration.
Q. Do you believe that if the constitution
was submitted again, and proper protection
given to your people, they would carry IL
by large majority:
y. Yes. sir; III proper protection could be
given them it would; but that could not be
had at this time. Furthermore the loyal
people have suffered so much already for
their principles, and in the advocacy OF
what they deemed right. but have been dis
appointed by delay, that il is impossible TO
tell just what would be the result If they
were compelled TO 90 through with all this
again. They have looked to Congress Tor
protection for three years, and have not got
lt yet, but, on the contrary, find the rebels
still ruling over them with an iron hand-
q. Is it bare possibility that the people
would ratify it if they had an opportunity to
do so?
\. Could fair election be had, the re-
publicans would ratify it 10y 10000 majority;
but there is the trouble, and military pro-
lection cannot reach the case. lt does very
well i'll the immediate vicinity of the polls
in keeping the peace, but cannot suppress
outside intimidation. However, the democ-
racy might now vote for ratification, and
take this course to get control of the state
government. The same means that defeated
the constitution would then be brought TO
bear to elect democratic candidates, and
this would leave the State in a worse con-
dition even than now.
By Mr.. Earnsworth
=. Don't you think you could get sufii-
Gent protection TO carry the constitution
under man like Sheridan or Sickles:
a. L have no doubt that either of tho:e
generals would do all he could to secure
fair election; but | doubt the ability OF any
general 10 give ample protection where the
opposition is so fierce as it was last June,
though the condition of things would no
doubt be much improved by having COM
mander who sought To protect loyal men
this our present commander, General Gil
lem, has not done.

Liverpool issued their usual monthly
and quarterly return of the emigration
from that port on April /. The re
port shows a large increase when COM
pared with the corresponding month of

noticeable, that the number of English
emigrants is far greater than that of
the previous years. During the past
month there sailed to the United StateS,
1888 passengers, of whom 4,S07 were
English, 657 Scotch, 1913 Irish, and

Some of our contemporaries advise
the people to act slowly in the move
ment to save their State from the con
firmed rule of the class Of Adventures
described in the letter of Maj. Wot-
ford. What harm can come of their
declaring promptly and alphabetically,
that they are for Z" a constitution that
will secure the political rights of all
citizens?' 1t will carry them against
the said constitution if submitted, as a
whole. It will commit them against
its DISTINGUISHING provisions if they
arc submitted separately.

The pretence of the carpet-b aggers
organ that the Democracy of the State
have recently embraced the Grant doc
trine of the ''civiI and political rights of
all the citizens within the State" IS
simply absurd. Everybody knows that
it was on this ground, as contradisiin-
guished from Prescription, they fought
and won the battle against the Radi-
Gals last summer. The Radical cor
morants are eagerly enjoying all the
offices Grant gives them. but they abb
hor his creed.

TOBACCO AND CoTToN-ADvAET-
AGES OF THIS MARKET. = Martin,
Gardner & Co., the well known to-
baceo men, have just issued q circular
TO planters, from which we make
some interesting extracts:
For the information of the trade,
we will give some statistical facts In
regard to our position and advantages.
Our location Is Ia the centre of a fer
tile country, producing, within cir
cult of 100 miles, more Tobacco than
the same section surrounding any 9TH
er city in the United Stares
Our shipping facilities are unsur-
passed. Evansville being situated at
the mouth OF Green River, with the
Evansville, Henderson and Nashville
Railroad running south from it,
through the very best tobacco counties
il Kentucky, together with from TWEEN
ty-two 10 twenty-five regular packets,
which make it tteIr port of discharge
coming from th4 Mississippi. upper
ADD Lower Ohio, Tennessee, Cumber-
land, Wabash auG. Green Rivers, car
rying merchandise of every descrip-
ton.
There was sold in this market the
first year $50 hogsheads of Tobacco,
whilst Paducah, GAINESVILLE and
Louisville struggled hard for ten or
fifteen years before they sold that
quantity in one season.
The amount of Tobacco received
and shipped from this place shows
the rapid increase of the production
in our vicinity, there having been in
1861, IL, Isl hogsheads received and
shipped. which increased to 81, $50
hogsheads for the year ending August
81, 1869, an increase of over 100 per
cent. IN eight years.
We have two large stemmeries, sew
eral re handling houses, and quite a
number of manufactures, and are
within forty minutes run of Hender-
son, with 16 large stemmeries, making
more strips than any ether city in the
United States.
Our success the past year has al
ready brought into existence two other
substantial sales warehouses, and we
confidently anticipate the sales the
coming season to reach from 10000 to
ID 600 hogsheads.
We have q Banking Capital OF -, :
1910. 1000. which is a great advantage to
operators.
We can at all times ship to New
Orleans cheaper than Louisville or
Clarksville, and as cheap as Paiucah,
and to New York as cheap as either
of them.
Most Of the above advantages apply
with equal force to Cotton, this being
directly on the route to the seaboard.
Our receipts and exports have reached
80, 900 bales the past year. All Cot
ton received here is taken readily at
the highest quotations.
