To which Mr.. Mari orally replied as follows:

We repeat that there armed rioters There are
no armed men Canal-st SO far as we know We came
on mission OF peace, ana we believe that II the Gov
ernOr accedod to the proposition we 6rough to-day
which was, 10 abdicate-it would have pached the
people OF Louisiana aud might, or would have, pre-
vented violence bloodshed. SO far as we are con-
cerned we are prepared pledge TO him no violence ~
person property, and we feel in position on the
contrary to assure that there should DO perfect
immunity 10 both.
The substance of the foregoing reply was subse-
quently, by Mr. Marrs request, reduced to writing
by the Governors private secretary, and handed to
him to read at the mass meeting. Gen. Dlbble, on
the part of the Governor, replied:
have to repeat what 1 said before. that while
there may be 10 armed men Caual-st.. there are
armed bodies within short distance, assembled on tue
call as your mass meeting.
The Committee then retired and soon after re-
ported the result of this interview to the meeting
The people were then advised to go home, get their
arms and ammunition, and return to assist the
White League, who were then under arms, to exc
cute plans that would be arranged for them. The
people then quietly dispersed Afterward quite
large number formed in procession and marched up

HON. R. II. I8RIDGEkS.

We learn that Hon. r. r. Bridgers,
President of the Wilmington and We'll
don and Wilmington, Columbia and
Augusta Railroads, has been appointed
Director. Vice President and Gene
raj Manager of the Southern Security
Company. This Appointment greatly
extends the field of Mr.. Bridgers'
duties and responsibilities, and is as
well deserved as it is complimentary
to him.
Mr.. Bridgers took charge of the
Wilmington and Weldon Railroad i'm
mediately after the war when that line
was run down and in debt. He was
then without experience in this de-
partment of business. By his energy,
faitkfulness and ability he has grad
ually risen in the confidence and regard
of those who have invested their means
in Southern railroads until he now
succeeds as the General Manager of
all the roads owned and controlled by
the Southern Security Company.
Having known Mr.. Bridgers since
our early manhood, we feel snre that
the confidence heretofore reposed in
him, and this additional evidence of
the estimation in which he is held by
those who know him best, is we'll
placed. He will prove as faithful and
efficient in his new and extended field
of labors as he has in his former posi-
ton. He certainly has our best wishes
for his success.

the extension of time for rule No. of
the Rules Of Trade requiring that
the heads of spirits turpentine casks
must either be OF ash or white oak, and
that barrels with poplar heads would
not be accepted ss merchantable.
After mature and lengthy discussion
of the propriety of the extension of
time, the following resolution confirm
ing their action was adopted
WHEREAS, 1t has been made mani
fest to this Board of Managers, that

impracticable for the present, as
many distillers and manufacturers of
barrels have no seasoned timber, ex-
cept poplar, for heading therefore
ResolUed, That Their be so amend
ed as to allow the use of poplar heads
until September l, 1874, subject, how
ever, to a deduction of 25 cents per
barrel, on all barrels with poplar
heads.

heads should be abandoned, and no

ONE PROSPEROUS STATE.

1t is refreshing, says the Augusta
C0nstitutiona{iSt, to turn from South
Carolina and Louisiana and contem-
plate the condition of Texas. In spite
Of a Radical regime, now happily a
thing of the past, Texas has emerged
from war and misgovernmenti in a very
comfortable status financially. The
entire bonded debt of the State is
81, ,661, 131 due to school fund $780,
306 floating debt about 100000. A
New York claim on bonds deposited
as collaterals amounts to $400, 900.
The entire debt sums upabout SO, ,O00,-
600. The current expenses of the
State for the present year amount to
81, 1891 To meet these demands
the State has available 81, 73s, sos, ex-
elusive of the present years income
from taxes. The new Governor gives
the Legislature some capital advice as
to economy, and, asking authority to
fund the floating debt, settle claims in
New York, and sell bonds deposited
there, concludes with the words of
wisdom, eve ought to settle what we
now owe, and hereafter pay as we go. :"
The future of Texas is assured. She

a Slight 1IlSTAkE

The Montgomery advertiser and
Mail after quoting what Senator Ran
som said to the correspondent Of the
New York Herald in relation to the
condition of affairs in North Carolina,
says:
"The trouble that has overtaken
" the North Carolina farmers is due
" to their folly in abandoning the
crops snited to their locality, and
going into the cotton raising bnsi-
ness. Until they go back to first
" principles they will lose money, and
g when they devote their attention to
' grain and tobacco the "good time
" will come again. The cost of fer
tilizing per acre Of cotton land In
North Carolina knocks off all chance
g for profit
Our esteemed cotemporary has un-
doubtedly ventured upon unknown
ground in thus accounting for the
sstrouble" that has overtaken the North
Carolina farmers. In no portion of
the OCaUe, 50 lux dS "O hnO", LII "hiSh
tobacco and grain" were once grown,
is cotton now the staple product. The
principal portion of the lands in
North Carolina devoted to the cul-
t.A..t.uI. % cotton are those lying on
the waters of the Roanoke, Tar and
Neuse rivers, and in the tier of coun-
ties living on the southern border OF
the State. These lands have never
constituted a "grain and tobacco"
country since the cultivation Of cotton
became general in the South, and so
far as production is concerned, Will
for series of years compare favor
ably with the cotton lands of Ala
bama. In North Carolina, worms do
comparatively little damage to the
crop, and this exemption compensates
for any advantage that Alabama may
have over us in other respects.
The .'trouble with the farmers OF
North Caroline" is not that they have
abandoned the cultivation of tobacco
and grain for that of cotton, for as
general rule the lands specially adapt
ed to the one are not suited the other,
but that the labor of the country is IN
an utterly demoralized conditien-a
trouble, if we mistake not, that we
have seen perplex good farmers with
good lands, even on the sacred soil OF
Alabama, fully as much as it has per
nlexed those in our own State.
We have no doubt that our cotem
porary is thoroughly posted as to the
trouble with Alabama farmers, but II
view of what has come within our Owl
observation, we beg leave to sugges
that he is slightly mistaken as to thu
cause of "the trouble with the Nortt
! Carolina farmers"

ton. 1t is an Office, rich in moieties
and other perquisites, which no man
| can cultivate and work as we'll as But
ler. The man who holds the collector
ship can bully and punish the Boston
merchants. Butler hates the mer-
chants, as he said the other day, in series
ofprofane double epithets, such as news
papers usually indicate by dashes.
He especially hates the solid men of
Boston, who regard him as trickster
and worse; and now he will have a
chance to get even with them. For
Simmons ia only creature of Buffers,
and the Boston collectoIship will be
run as distinctly for Buffers profit
and advantage as if the general
himself sat at the receipt of customs.
The merchants of Boston, without any
noteworthy exceptions, have resisted
this appointment by every means but
President Grant has considered their
feelings as little as he has regarded
those Of the business men of New York
on many occasions. Butler had to be
paid in some way for the valuable SER
vices he has rendered t. President
Grant, ard the Boston collectorship
was the reward. The President hoped
last year that Bntier would get the
nomination for Governor and the
whole power of the administration was
thrown for him before the convention
assembled. Defeated there, Butler
receives the consolation of the Boston
collectorship, in the person of his faith
full henchman, Simmons. Besides the
money to be made out of the Office
in moieties extracted from writhing
Boston merchants-Butler can use it
as the stepping-stone to the Governor
ship of old Massachusetts,. and from
that Office his ambition would take but
a single stride to the Presidency! And
these are the reasons why Boston is
over Simmons. Simmons,
himself, stands for Butler;
and Butler stands for the Admiristra-
ton in Massachusetts,. 1t will be
bitter fight, fraught with grave conse-
quences not only to Butler bat to |
President Grant, and to the future of |
the Republican party. We, who are
out of the heat of the fray, will still |
look on with interest, AMI hope that |
good to the pc, pie at large
will result from the falling cut of the
politicians.
