we do assert that the Times manufactures
its thunder from materials furnished by
the representatives of one side OF the
cases referred to, and that, notwithstand-
ing this aid, it is wholly incompetent just
now to discuss its side of the question.
When the authors of the articles in the
Times have taken pains to study the
statute books, and the decisions of the
General Land Office and Of the United
States Supreme Court, upon the subject
upon which they are trying to make lit
tie capital, they may-we do not affirm it
pcsitively-they may be able to form de-
cent opinion upon it. They probably will
not be able to do so before; and We sug
gest that they would, after such study,
perhaps be more competent to judge of

points they have made the basis of their
article Of yesterday. Such thunder is
very cheap.
The REPUBLICAN has never said s'that
the age Of title, or one based on long
possession, gives no validity or preference
over recent claim As we'll as we can
see through the bad grammar of the
Times, We presume it means to set up its
novel ideas about prescription in this
doubtful sentence. It stated its point
more clearly the other day, when it sug-
gested. with sublime indifference to the
decisions of the United States Supreme
Court, that though prescription could not
run against ''the king, it should not be
for an instant supposed that the same
rule held as to the government of the
United States In reply We have only to
say, in the words of the Times, that
''this is a novel and extraordinary pre-
tense, worthy OF the stupidity ''and IN
scrupulousaess of those with whom it
originated"

BEGINNING TO IMPROVE.

The receipts Of cotton begin to grow
quite liberal, and relief to our stringent
money market is certain to follow. Money
on the street, for which 263 per cent a
month is now demanded, will shortly seek
investment at greatly reduced rates. The
crops of 1871 throughout the South are
likely, as usual, to disappoint the in
terested prophets who have all along been
ready to swear that nothing worth men,
tioning had been raised. The receipts of
cotton at all the ports last week exceeded
those for the same time last year; the
sugar crop will be greatly in excess of
that of any other year since the war,
though some Of the country editors en-
deavor to make their papers interesting
by publishing reports of short yield.
This State will also have more rice to har-
vest this year than ever before. These are
our staples, and upon which We depend
for the means Of getting along.
1t only remains for those who are
charged with moving tie crops to improve
their time. Let them bear in mind the
OF ready money, and they will
at once conclude that the time to realize
is when tie harvest is ready. Holding
back is dangerous practice, which gen.
orally results in loss to the producer, for
an advance in price is constantly required
glad to see by the constantly increasing
receipts at this port that our planters are
to understand and act upon
the more sensible idea Of quick sales and
certain profits.

| The stock market is particularly low.
Life in operations and dealings in this paper
consists of vigorous demand. backed by
some hope of profit or dream of realization.
But the characteristic of late transactions
is neither demand nor supply. neither buy
ing nor selling. state Of t1atness and
smooth and even surface without ripple to
disturb it. 1t is impossible TO tell the fea-
ture of Mexican Gulf Canal stock, though
yesterday it was under cloud. 1t was
even whispered that offers were made thirty
per cent below the quotations of two weeks
since. but the party did not toe the mark
No shares were sold at these figures. but in
quiries, not unmixed with anxiety, were
put forward to ascertain the eau Of the
sudden chute.
Levee stock is quoted at the same figure
it held for fifteen days. A sale of 100
shares at So 62ls, and 100 at s. -, were
the only transactions heard of. Every one
is waiting for developments. In the mean
time both parties are facing each other. the
holders watching fitting opportunity to
unload. and the would-be purchasers hes
itating being not so sure but that the best
time to buy may be the present, but at the
same time. anticipating further fall. A
noted fnancier and successful man in a
pecuniary sense is reputed to be the new
president of the directors of the company,
and other negotiations looking to the put
ting up of money are in progress. but with
out result so far. Still. the belief is shared
bv brokers that the stock at present prices
is good purchase.
City appropriation certificates are i'm
proving. While they were held by those
who required to change them into cash
they fell to price near 60. At present 81
to 81 are the figures between which the
price oscillates, with tendency upward.
CITY ten per cent bonds are not quoted at
so fair rate. in proportion to the standing
of certificates. The demand for ali classes
of city securities is Indifferent. 1t appears
as if the tide of business had ebbed from
our street and flowed to other and more
pleasant places. We hear OF no movement
in State securities. Levee bonds are not
alluded to in ordinary conversation. War
rants do not appear. except at rates which
it is impossible to negotiate. 1t is incon-
ceivable to one who is not used to the dry
nature Of affairs how slow the coach moves.
The general impression is that cotton
will advance beyond yesterdays figures
themselves an improvement on Saturdays
highest. The reported ascent in Liverpool
has been strengthened by other advices OF
the same tenor. Where calculations fall
short is in anticipations of these sudden
turns upward or an equally precipitate de-
scent. Activity is now everywhere per-
ceptible in cotton, and is visible relief to
the dullness in everything else.

WEEPue OVER TIE QAPTIvEs.


Some of our contemporaries, of which
number the Picayane is one, are fearfully
annoyed because number of citizens in
South Carolina have been dragged from
their beds and thrust into loathsome
prisons by the United States authorities.
Is it an unusual thing for citizen to be
dragged from his home and put into a
loathsome prison? 1.-THE criminal records
of the country are worthy of belief a great
many men, and even women and children,
too, have been pulled out of bed and put
into common confinement. The reason
why, is the main thing. These men in
South Carolina are accused of having
killed, in cold blood, under cover of the
night, poor and unprotected people,
against whom they had no cause of
enmity, except that they were black,
or that their politics were not of the
popular sort For this sort of acts
poor men have been arrested in
all ages, and put into loathsome dun
geons in all countries And it is gener-
ally accepted as reasonable conclusion
that the officers who make this kind of
arrests are human beings, and that they
have some justification for their actions.
We we'll remember when the authorities
arrested and confined body Of citizens
in North Carolina, the country was told
that it was a military outrage; but when
the grand jury convicted them, and when
Judge Bond sentenced them, and when
their own friends admitted their wicked
ness. but pleaded for mercy, as they were
weak and ignorant people, the organs
that had infamed their readers about the
outrage, never had the sense nor the pa
triotism to retract the outrageous false
hoods which they had printed at the
outset. As for ourselves, We lament the
necessity for the arrests in South Car
DINA. but we assume that the officers
did their duty according to the evidence
before them, and that the right will be
indicated in the end. If these men are
the guilty parties they are represented to
be, they have fallen into arrest and con-
6nement very properly, and they will
have chance to repent Of their wicked
ness in place where their capacity for
evil doing will not be 80 extensive as it
was in the mountains of South Carolina.
They will have more mercy shown to
them, too, than they exhibited toward
their victims In the meantime the tears
that are being shed for the prisoners in
South Carolina ought to be divided out
and proportioned among the criminals in
confinement elsewhere. The Louisiana
over distant offenders is not |
exactly one of the States right rights.
Each State ought to shed its own tears.

The Times, having been fairly convicted
of gross SANDER, thorough ignorance and
weak abuse concerning what it is pleased
to denominate the ''land-grabbing
scheme in the REPUBLICAN, and by the
card published in its own columns by
Messrs. Barnard and Hyatt, United States
receiver and register at New Orleans, still
keeps up discordant noise upon the
subject, upon the ground that a round
Misrepresentation we'll stuck to will travel
as far as the truth. 1t apparently hopes
by constant reiteration, in accordance
with its usual practice, to make the un-
thinking part Of its readers give some
credence to its bugaboo talk. The Times
seems to have but one motto pitch i'm

certain lands in Louisiana under the stat.
utes Of the United States, meets with no
attention on the part Of our contempt
rary. On the contrary, after conviction
OF falsehood, it repeats its old story, re-
asseverates its nonsensical and wholly ig-

THE LEvEEs IN POIKTE COUPEE.

Colonel F. L. Claiborne, president of the
police jury Of Pointe Coupee, called upon
us last evening to explain the condition
Of the levees in his parish. He represents
them to be in urgent need Of immediate
repairs. That the work can now be done
at an expense of only about $4,000,
while if it is put off till the spring, when
the river rises, it viii! take more than ten
times this sum to protect the parish from
overflow. Another consideration which
should not be lost sight of is the fact that
to inundate Pointe Coupee is to lay waste
about nine important rear and adjoining
parishes, and obstruct travel on two i'm
portant railroads. But as the necessity
for protecting this important key parish
from overflow is obvious to every man
who is at all familiar with the geography
of this State We need only call general at
tention to the subject. The people Of
Pointe Coupee, represented by their po-
lice jury, call upon New Orleans for as
sistance in raising the money for the
work at once. The planters up there
have not the means to advance. The
police jury can not legally raise tax
until thereto specially authorized by the
Legislature. But there is no doubt this
will be done in time. The Governor has
promised his assistance to the extent of
his power, and no friend of Louisiana will
raise voice in opposition. The object
is to obtain at once by loan or subscrip-
ton money enough to do the work Our
merchants are too much interested in the
matter to refuse their contributions, and
We hope to hear that the application
about to be made to them will meet with
success. Colonel Claiborne has appointed
Messrs. F. L. Jewell, H. Ledoux and L.
L. Sims, Of his parish, delegates to lay
the case before our citizens and solicit
their aid. We commend them to all who
can possibly contribute even so small
sum as five dollars for this vital work.
