miscuously, it gets along very Well

and are usually admired by non critical
people. But, unfortunately, it has snob-
bish habit of referring to men Of I'M
doubted position, and calling them as
witnesses by retailing some corner gro
Gerry gossip illustrative of the point un-

Just been made the victim of one of these
attempts on the part Of the Times to show
its intimate acquaintance with great men,
and he is far from pleased with the implied
fellowship. In card addressed to that
paper he shakes the little anecdote all to
pieces in the following unmerciful
manner:
Ny attention has been called to an article
in vOur issue of the seventeenth instant en-
titled. The affair at the Louisiana Uniyer-
lowing connection. "If we are not very
much mistaken, Generals Fitzhugh Lee and
Samuel w. Ferguson, while cadets at West
Point, plead guilty before general court
martial. at which General Scott presided,
to the charge of driving through the parade
ground and out to Benny Ravens disguised
in women's clothes. Their plea was received,
and after great deliberatiOn, both were re-
turned to duty with reprimand" As this
statement is slightly incorrect, wish to
make the following corrections:
l. Neither General Fitzhugh Lee nor my
self were ever tried before any court mar
tial at which General Scott presided.
, Neither General Lee nor myself were
ever tried before any court martial for

clothes.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The rates for cotton have given way and
have let out thousands previously hemmed
in with their stringeney We have heard
this alluded to as occasioned by the sheer
impossibility that factors should hold out.
while on the other hand it is held as due to
an old fashioned falling OF in the demand
across the water. The rates are showing
down to a quarter less than Monday, and
going back to the average ten days ago.
The old heads usually tell spasm from a
permanent stroke, just as mariners know
cats paw from a wind. Buyers are becom-

Gated downward movement as the one
prevalent. No appearance Of Saturdays or
Mondays business gra:itied stockholders or
stock buyers. good deal OF talk came to
the surface and was swept Of. leaving the
current OF affairs placid as a lake in mid
summer. Lottery stock was spoken of as
destined to improve, from the main reason
there was nothing TO prevent it. 1t does
appear strange that these obligations which
yield a fruit OF twenty-five per cent should
be quoted from $6S to SO share We
have heard this accounted for in the state
ment that it was kept down so that it might
be all taken in. We have listened to an
enthusiastic believer in Jefferson City Gas
light stock, who AYERS as his conscientious
belief that the company will Fay ten per

corporation are quoted at Sos to $6S, but
few are to be had. Levee stands stock still.

servient to the will of the powers that be,
and none know it better than the people.
This, when it is the case, operates against
the reelection of President that has put
his faith in Office holders instead of the
people. There is also bound to be large
number Of ''outs" who are anxious to dis
place the ''ins, !" and they will be most ac-
tive against President who builds too
much on the strength Of an army Of Office
holders. We hold the success of Repub-
Gcan principles far above the success of
office holders, and where there is a
departure from those principles, we deem
it our duty to speak out, that the success
Of the Republican party may not be en-
dangered. There is good reason for be-
lieving it will continue to meri. the con-
tidence Of the people by endeavoring to
correct whatever Of error may have crept
into Republican administration. But
to make this more secure we are satisfied
to have two political parties that can COM
mand the confidence of the people.

ten cents a day for the privilege of being
swindled, and not excite nlUrmur from

and completeness OF the swindle But
this does no. relieve the State from the
