while as much as 1t to "a per cent. per

little doing in scrips or bonds. Prices
Of local securities are nominal and I'M

the new law for the transportation of

The Treasury Department is making
preparations to enforce the new law for

COTTON.
The market to-day is inactive and dull,
with very light demand. Choice grades
are in request, but there is none in the
market. One lot of $50 bales strict good
ordinary to low middling was offered at

this morning were confined exclusively
to low and mixed cotton at Ia to Ice,
and foot up to about 30 bales. The New
York market opened dull and nominal
at the closing rates of last night, and the
Liverpool market dull, with estimated
sales of 5000 bales at Sd for uplands and
Sid for Orleans. A Washington special
of the I'd says that the Agricultural bu-
reau thinks there is good reason for es-
timating the cotton crop for this year at
trihe less than three million bales. On
the South Carolina coast and in Ala
bama the crop is unusually good, and
the arrival of new bales in market ex-
ceeds that of last year,

ENTERPRISE.
A LittIe matter set Right.

We are ready to concede TO our neigh
bors creditable degree Of journalistic
enterprise. When they fall short it is
not their fault; but we have right to
protest in such cases, when they try to
shuttle off the blame on us or our friends.
We take our dispatches by the new tele-
graph line, and have no war to make on
the old one. Yesterday, for instance,
we published special dispatch from
Brownsville, giving an account of the
Freeman shooting ARRAY and bowie-knife
exercise. The following paragraph ap-
pears in this mornings Avalanche:
A dispatch giving particulars of the
difficulty between the hFreemans at
Brownsville, on Tuesday, was sent to the
Avalanche as early as four clock in the
afternoon, per the Southern Pacific and
Atlantic Line, but for some reason was
not transmitted or at least has not yet
come to hand This is in answer to- our
correspondent at Brownsville, who in
quires, per the Western Union Line, why
this telegram did not appear in yester-
days Avalanche. 4
1t would appear then that the Ava
lanche takes specials by the Southern
line, and that the Southern line sup
pressed this particular dispatch to the
Avalanche. This, is the inference, if it
is not directly charged. The following
correspondence sets forth the facts
geY4 MS MRMPHIs. August 4.
Mr.Moore. Operator at Brownsville, Tenn;
Did any one at Brownsville hand you
a message last Tuesday about the Free
man difficulty, to be sent to the Avalanche
of this place? Answer.

The Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1865-1870, 1870-03-19

SPAIN.-Madrid, March l6.-A fierce con-
troversy is in progress here on the best
method of disposing Of the Cuban question.
Some journals make bold to argue in favor
Of abandoning the island to the United
States. This proposition is bitterly opposed
by majority Of the press as cowardly and
unpatriotic. In the Cortes yesterday, Gen.
Prim, in answer to an inquiry as to the cir
cumstances of the attack on him in the
streets, said the mob surrounded him, shout
ing "Down with CONSUMPTION" and threw
stones at him. He declared that in future
Government would deal summarily with such
disorder. The funeral of Prince Henri de
Bourbon was conducted by the Masons.
When the remains were brought to the
church, the officiating priest, seeing Masonic
emblems on the coffin, withdrew the insignia
Of the Church, and refused to perform relig-
ious ceremonies. No troops took part in the
procession which followed the remains to the
grave.
The Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1865-1870, 1870-03-19

Tx COwBIDINGo of Mr.. George Wilkes,
editor of 1.-THE Spirit of the Times" by
Maj. W. W. Leland is quite a surprising
and notable occurrence. We are not
furnished with the causes of the difficulty
but infer that Wilkes must have attacked
Leland through his paper. 1t is quite
certain that Wilkes must have been
taken BY surprise or at a most decided
disadvantage for We may well Suppose
that be is accustomed to carry arms
about his person, is being a we'll known
fact that it is but few years since he
was accidentally wounded by a sho. in
the leg from one of his own pocket pis-
tolls falling upon tie floor ofhis sleeping
apartment in Washington. Moreover,
Wilkes is a most decided Imam about
town" aud il accustomed to meet, a,
all hours of the day and night, with cir
cunstauces in which lie needs TO be
prepared for immediate self protection.
Wilkes is high spirited man, and we
are deceived if be submits 20 his casti-
cation without an attempt at exacting
'saiisfactiou' in one way or another.
