Cotton Money.

ave understand hal a petition
numerously signed by tho present
holders of Cotton Money, ha, been
handed to the Governor, requesting
him to communicate with the Leg
islature on the subject of Cotton
Money. The object of the petition
is merely to carry out the trust, as
sumed by the State, by causing the
original borrowers Of cotton money
to deliver cotton pursuant to their
bonds, or pay tho bonds according
to their tenor, and that, failing to
do so, the bonds OF notes shall be
put in suit for the benefit of the gem
eral note holders. 1t occurs to III
that as those borrowers of cotton
mt ney used the issue at par as cur
rency in the purchase of property
and tor all their wants, 1t Is but just
that the holders of cotton money are
entitled to have the trust carried
out ; these or at least that some
equitable provision should be made
for their relief, so hal the burden
may not rest exclusively on one
class of our citizens"
From the above statement and
argument Of the Clarion We are in>
tlined to believe that the Clarion
must be a large holder Of cotton
money, or has some friend who $50

reason why thecitizens d the State

the members absented themselves

to the interest of our people that

area OF taxable lands aud other prop
crty is left.to pay tie necessary tax
for ordinary county purposes, with
tho additional tax for school, court.

reasonably expect M additional in
crease Of the amount Of tax upon the
property left in tho county Our
county is not two large in any con-
%sldcration, aud all measures looking
to a division of the county are found
cd in recuniary gain to n few indi

The increase of town lots In valuet
or the proximity Of land to:the coun.
ty site thereby increasing in value
are the only true arguments as a
reason for tho great zeal shown by
certain individuals in organizing
new counties. Asa general rule the
formation of new counties in this
State since the war have been the
scheme Of partizan Spectators, and
in nearly every ease the people have
been wronged by these iniquitous
combinations. We place ourselves
fairly upon record, as we have ever
done, in denouncing oil measures
having for their object a division Of
Pamela county, aud will hold the
members Of the Logislaturcto n strict
account in permitting the disruption
OF our present county lines.
We have often thought it a great
pity that every one of the petty rail-
road towns q uldn't have a court
house and Jail, but that these aspi-
rants should be taxed exclusively for
the cost of the erection of the build
ings and that this wonld put a qui>
etus upon tho patriotic citizens who

Our county was well represented
by n very large number of our citi-
gems on Tuesday last, both in New
Orleans and in Memphis, to witness
the festivities incident to Shrove
Tuesday. From the newspapers we
learn that the ceremonies in Now
Orleans we're never more magnificent
or the number of visitors larger
The presence OF the Grand Duke
Alexis added much to the attraction
of visitors. But We must award the
palm to Memphis for having gotten
up, for the first attempt, a fair rival
to the honors that New Orleans has
heretofore borne for being the only
city in the Union where tho ceri-
monies incident to Mardi Gras was
worthy of attending. The number
of masqueraders in the day time in
Memphis was much larger than was
ever witnessed il New Orleahs.--
While the procession was very cred

respect the Grand March Of King
Momus, or The "Mystic Krew of Co.
