COTTON PREMIUMS.

One of the great distinctive features
of the great st. Louis fair, that opens
on the 9TH of next October is the un-
precedentedly large premiums offered
for the best bales of cotton exhibited
there. Among these premiums we
note u premium Of five hundred dollars
for the best bale grown in each state,
Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, Tennessee and Texas; one of
one hundred and fifty dollars for the
best bale grown by each of the Indian
nations, Choctaw, Creek, Cherokee and
Chickasaw; and one grand sweepstake
of one thousand dollars for the best
bale, open to all the states and terrific
ries. Among the rules governing the
decisions, are the following Cotton
grown in 1874 can alone compete.
Bales weighing less than four hundred
pounds cannot compete. The premi-
ums offered to states and territories are
exclusively for cotton raised north of
the thirty-second parallel. Cotton
raised on sea islands cannot compete
for the sweepstake premium. Cotton
that has been run through any ma.
chinery for the purpose of cleaning,
outside of the ginning process, is ex-
cluded from competition.
The cotton premiums aggregate
eleven thousand dollars.

ST. LOUIS, July 81, 1874.
On our departure from Little Rock
the delegation gave three hearty cheers
as n further token of their appreciation
OF the hospitality of the citizens of
Little Rock. AS the train moved off
we were greeted with cheers in return,
and many expressions of good will.
Our trip To st. Louis was very
pleasant, and ut times full of fun. An
impromptu court martial was held
upon one of our prominent citizens, nj
which Governor Hubbard presided
with dignity and ability. Counsel for
plaintiff and defendant were appoint
cd. as also sheriff, and n jury of twelve
in one was empannelled. An indict-
ment with six specifications was drawn
up, TO which the prisoner plead mot
guilty." The decisions of the court
and the speeches of the attorneys were
highly amusing, and the sheriff was
frequently compelled to call the court
to order. Witnesses were not al
lowed 10 give facts or favor but Were
confined to their opinions, and those
In favor Of the prisoner were ruled out.
Inc court instructed the jury of
Twelve in one to bring in verdict OF
guilty, which they or Ii did, and fined
MIN six bottles of wine. Bond of five
hundred thousand dollars was required
and readily secured The episode was
greatly enjoyed by all.

1t is part Of our theory that the true

interests Of the city, since the city de-
ponds, for all it is or can be, on the.

tagonism between the farmer and the.
mechanic.

motto; and it is a good gospel for the
man who works in the shop as well as
for the man who follows the pillow.

ened the continuance Of their power.
It vii. be seen, from the above, that
our charges Of extravaganza were in
reference to the quantity and the use
lessness of the printing done. We
made no charge that the rates provided
by law were too high. We knew moth
ing about that. We claimed, however,
that there had been great frauds com
mitted. not by reason of the rates fixed,
but by tricks Of construction, under
which large prices were paid for STAT
matter sometimes page containing
three or four lines, being charged and
paid for as a solid page Of printing.
We also asserted that tricks of inter-
probation had been resorted to by which
large sums had been taken out Of the
public treasury. For instance, the Press
Company received S4OS for printing the
Report of the Horticultural Society
and 81 $50 FOR BINDING THE SANE. Three
times as mach for binding q book as
ii cost to print it, Again: the Press
Company received SALAD for printing

much to fold a book as to print it,!
These we're frauds of Interpretation,
tricks Of the trade-they did not de-
pend on the prices clearly fixed for
honest work; they were advantages
obtained, as we now believe, by col
fusion between the printers and the
officers Of the State.
The discussion provoked great deal

the Monopoly party must suffer. The

answered, and SO with the subtlety char
