Clippings.
The Vicksburg Herald of the thirty
first says: 1.-The Robert E. Lee refused ali the
cotton she could, and got away with two
thousand three hundred bales, leaving the
wharf looking mighty encouraging for the
Katie.....--.Tne river is getting low IRON mere
down, and boats cannot safely load TO more
than teu feet The Cincinnati Enquirer
OF the thirty-drSt, in speaking OF the Pitts
burg coal shipments 70 that city, says: "a
comparison OF the total shipments for the
years 1873 and lS74 show that 1874 IS behind
jhat OF ls73 some seventeen and half million
bushels. The shipments 20 Cincinnati for
1919 fall short OF those of 1873 some two and a
half million bushels, which Will be a surprise
to many as the market has ruled very low
this year As a general thing, and the supply
was supposed 70 have been in excess Of that
Of any previous year" The same paper of
Monday says: sc. /. and j KOuns, of New
Orleans, and well-known Red river steam
boatmen, have instituted suit in the
United States circuit court for New
York City against OTIS n. Cutter, claiming
thirty-two thousand dollars damages. The
suit is predicateo on the action Of Cutler while
special agent OF the treasury department in
1865, in New Orleans, FOR regulating the trade
in cotton in what was known as the insur-
defendants unlawtuly. II Is thought Cutter
will have a hard time Of il to exhibit cleal
hands. Ben +. Butler is one OF the attorneys
for the defense. Should this suit go against
Cutler other suits TO the amount OF ten mil
lion dollars will ne instituted against him.
