comparatively out Of debt; and the debts

-ndiated as condition affixed by the
Radical party to their restoration to the
Union even under the despicable govern

are the net product of the stealing opera
tions of the carpet-baggers and scallawags
who have been foiAted into the control of
these once proud and prosperous common

was fraudulently contracted by these
lawless gangs to enrich themselves and

The Cotton Market.

1t will be remembered by those who
observed the course of the cotton market
last season, that at the early part of the
season the receipts were not so large as
at the corresponding time of the one
previous CS69) Still, the receipts of
the present season (1S7D at the latest
dates as compared with those of the
corresponding time last year show 4
falling of OF nearly one-half. And yet
it will not be assumed that this is due TO
disposition ON the part of planters to
withhold their crops from market. The
result is attributable to the late planting
and the unfavorable season, and it unaues-
tionably foreshadows yield so reduced
that it will fail far below the estimates
which have been made of the crop.
With this preliminary observation, we
will quote the following extract from the
circular of Liverpool firm, of a recent
date, from which intelligent readers who
are advised OF the present prospects of the

The Supreme Court decided this case
yesterday, Judge Simrall delivering the
opinion of the Court, which was con-
CURED in by his associates. The decis-
ion was to the effect that the office is now
vacant, and that neither the Pilot nor
Leader is State Printer. The manner of
filling the Office is laid down in the law of
1857, Revised Code. Messrs. Kimball g.
Fisher resigned during the session of the
Legislature and the Governor appointed
Kimball & Raymond their successors,
which the court decided he had no legal
authority to do. Yet they were Public
Printers de fdctO, and their acts are re-
cognized as lawful so long as there was
no legal question raised.
Meantime in the squabble of the
Wreekers over the job the people will re-
main in ignorance of the laws they are
required to obey.

There is talk of arresting Gov. Alcorn
ON the charge of intimidation" under
the Enforcement Act. He is not only
threatening to remove, but actually
removing, men from office for exercising
their right to vote as they please in the
coming election. He may say he is
exercising his Executive prerogative I'M
der the State law. But the act of Con-
gress says "any State law to the contrary
Notwithstanding" And the Radical
doctrine is that the federal law no matter
how it conflicts with the Constitution and
laws, and even the reserved rights of a
State, is supreme.

1t is notorious that the Scallawags who
have conspired with the Carpet Baggers
to run the niger party" as they call it,
for the plumber and prescription of the
Southern whites, were in times of slavery
