The people of the cotton growing
States are now suffering in an unpre-
cidenred condition, from the effects
of the late financial pressure and the
low price at which they have been COM
PEELED to sell their crops OF cotton:
Owing to the destruction of credit, and
the great scarcity of money, and the
unreasonable shertness of the cotton
crop, and still greater shortness OF the
corn crop. without aid or relief from
some Quarter, we do not see how 1t Is
possible for the people Of the South to
carry on their farming operations the
present year The repayment TO US
Of the tax we paid on cotton, for the
wears mentioned, would enable US to
proceed with the cultivation of our
lands, and securing our crops for the
present year. Whilst We do not ask 1t
as boon, feelingas we do, that 1t Is
Justly due US, and that we have the
right to ask it as an act of justice;

generosity and magnanimity, on the
part of a great and powerful govern
ment. TO come to our relief at this
alarming crisis, although such a course
on the part of your Honorable Bodies,
would involve an act Of mere justice
towards those, who were the victims
of an unjust, oppressive, and uncon-
stitutional discrimination, against their

A Libel salt

A prosecution for libel is an unsual pro
ceeding in this State Parties, who have
been aggrieved have generally relied up
on other methods Of separation. When
the cause of complaint has been against
the press, if It's conductors were gentle
men, who have given circulation to un,
founded statements, they have been as
prompt to correct as they were to pub
lish them Ii the publications were true
the parties whom they have concerned
have not had the temerity to rush into
the Courts and to risk the chances o.
making bad, worse. An exception to this
rule of settling such matters outside
the Courts has been made by Mr.. h
NJ. Hall, Chief of Police of Vicksburg
who conceiving himself aggrieved by /
statement in the Nicksburger implica
ting him in a Matchmaking operation
caused the arrest Of the conductors o
that paper, who in a preliminary tria
before a Justice Of the Peace They were
DOunu over IN the unreasonable SUN
of s25, 900. The Magistrate evidently
did not act in fear of the Constitution
which he is sworn to support, else il
would have restrained him from requir-
ing excessive bail"
These proceedings were scarcely over,
when another and a still graver scene is
introduced i'll the play. Messrs Frank
Dennison and j. b. Pegram have gone
before a Magistrate and made oath that
the said L. NJ. Hall as Chief of Police
has "corruptly and feloniously accepted
as bribe' sums amounting to a thous-
and dollars for allowing them to keep a
gambling and faro bank in the
said city of Vicksburg in violation of the
ordinances thereof The preliminary
trial in this case was to have come off
yesterday The editors of the Vicks-
burger have not exhibited the least trep-
idation. They evidently believed them
selves fortified with a strong hand be-
fore they entered upon the game.

A last card which desperate gamesters
interested in the defeat OF measures de-
signed to eurtail their allowances from
the public Treasury, is to steal or multi
ate bills after their enrolment, so as
to destroy their meaning. A number
of important measures have been defeat
ed by this sort of rascaity at previous
sessions, and the game has been tried
the present session on the bill to reduce
the pay of County Superintendents
After it had passed the House, it was
on being taken up in the Senate, found
to have been foully dealt with. Commit
tees were promptly appointed and neeessa-
nv action taken, to repair the mischief.
The Legislature will have to adopt eff
fective safeguards to prevent repetition
of this game, or it will find, when too
late, that all the time, labor and money
spent in passing Reform bills, have been
thrown away.

The Cotton Tie Monopoly.

Cotton ties are now quoted at seven
cents pound, with prices tending down
ward. The planters have been paying
the present season from twelve to twelve
and one half-cents. They knew it was an
extortion by which somebody was amass-
ing enormous profits at their expense,
but they had no means in operation to
break it up. 1t happens, however, to
be one of these very kind of abuses
which it is the purpose of the Farmers
cooperative movement to overturn.
1t has engaged the attention of the
Changers, and through their agents they
are producing a rival business which
in a few weeks have reduced prices
nearly one-half. It is said that Nc
Comb, mot our great Railroad builder, J
whose English Company has monopo-
Used the manufacture of ties by buying
up competing firms, has amassed mil
lions upon millions of dollars at the ex-
pense ofthe planters. The planters propose
now to cooperate with a Joint Stock
Company with works at Chattanooga,
Tennessee, to manufacture ties, and to
have them furnished at half the rates
they have been paying. Meantime.
for present purposes, arrangements, will
be effected to have them furnished by
other manufacturers at seven cents
pound, probably less.
This is the secret of the fall of FIVE
cents per pound in the article of cotton
ties. The movement will be carried
forward and will save to the producers
from two to three millions of dollars
each crop. So much for what the
Changers are doing; and this is but a
single item.

" The Moral Cyclone. -

This is the significant term which DIR.
Beecher applies to the crusade which the
ladies, in portions of the country, are
waging with such tremendous effect
against intemperanee. In late sermon
he said that history would show no par
allel to the effort making in the West to
suppress drinking, which he char
acterized as the ''scourge of the house
hold. 1t is an evil that has defed leg
lation; but now, under Providence,
there has arisen moral cyclone-a per-
feet tempest of influence. The move
ment is spreading rapidly and is attend
ed with success everywhere. The ladies
engaged in it are doing a noble work,
and deserve the prayers of the good, as
they are, crowned with the blessings of
God
