HOMICIDE IN RAPIDEs. Alexandria
Democrat Of the 22d inst, says
Dennis Sullivan, an old and we'll known
citizen of Rapides, was shot in the head and
instantly killed, at his residence, nine miles
below town, on last Saturday evening. He
had just returned from town, had dismounted
from his horse, and while in the act of I'M
bridling him received the fatal shot in the
back OF his head from the hands of his muir
derer, who was hidden in ambush near by
The Democrat says this has not caused sur
prise to the community, for he was constantly
engaged in broils, and almost all his neigh
bors, both white and colored, had been forced
to dread him and place themselves purely on
the defensive.

The report that the owners of the rescued
steamer Amerique will appeal from the de ision
awarding S5Oo,0OO to the salvors is credible
The company have held that the abandonment
OF the ship was unnecessary, and the dismissal
of Capt. Rousseau was, therefore, inevitable
under the circumstances. The value of the ship
and cargo was about 81 000, 900; the claim of the
salvors was equal to one-half of that amount
Marine law declares that salvage implies that
reasonable am ,unt shall be retained by the own
ers of the derelict ship, on the other haud, that
sa vors shall be requlted literally as the
property will allow. In England, where this case
has been adjudicated one-tnird of the total value
is all that has us tally been allowed except in
special cases. The maximum allowance has
been the costs, losses, and one half the value of
the property saved, although the ship BIZ dere-
hct. La the case Of LAmeriqae the property
was absolutely abandoneu the officers made no
preparations to return to the vessel. Therefore
the court allowed one-half of the value of the
ship and cargo leaving the costs Of the salvors
out OF the question. This Is all that the salyors
cllmed and it is natural that the owners, who
regard the abandonment, Of the ship as needless,
should demur TO the verdict

THE PROSPECTS FOB COTTON.

New YORK, July 2j.-rhe market for cotton on
the spot has continued excessively dull through
out the entire week, and values show a further
shrinkage of tc. There is very little inclination
to purchase for other than immediate necessities.
The accounts Of the new crop are exceedingly
favorable, and probably the prices will be lower.
Liverpool has been very dull which may be at
tributed to the same cause.
For forward deliveryth-re has at all times been
wide huctdation and variable tone to the mar
ket. Every little news from the growing crop is
at once picked up by the brokers who gather
about the ring, and bull and bear the market as
may be to their interest. The ear Iy mouth. par
ticularly rule weak, which can be- accounted f,r
by the large stocks on hand AMI the absence
of demand. The total sales for the week reached
1882 blles, of VIII Oh 1850 we're future deliv-
cry, 1872 on the spot, including 1901 for export,

gradually being worn away As the sham
Conservative party is found by thorn to be
but an empty shell and a meaningless name,
the Republican party is found to be the
party of progressive thought, Of freedom
and of assured success, because its claims
for support are based upon principles as
solid as the everlasting hills. They cannot
avoid making the contrast between the two
parties, and, although blinded by the preju-
dice Of race in the late contest, it may be
accepted as prophecy certain TO be full
filled that the people Of Virginia, in the
event of national campaign, will be sufa-
GENTLY aroused to their dearest interests to
repudiate the leaders who have deceived
them and flattered their State pride in the
past, and to cast their votes for the party
which now controls, and will continue to
control, the Federal Government.

CONGRESS YESTERDAY.

The financial discussion in the Senate
yesterday arose with all the vigor of youth
after it has once passed into the mature ase
of legislation, and bids fair to again live
over heightened career. And this second
existence seems destined to be enlivened by
sharp personal controversies instead ofprosy
arguments, in which eager scrutiny of in
dividual financial records will prove pro-
ductive of acrimonious retort, even if no
greater damage be inflicted. From the
revelations of yesterday it would appear
that consistency cannot be maintained dur
ing long public service, and that actions
contradicting and in conflict must arise to
harrow the feelings of the legislators. A
just excuse for this apparent discrepancy in
public life-that different periods and situa-
tons require different remedies-is not
deemed worthy of acknowledgment, and in
consequence the resort is the "record, Z"
upon the principle that establishing the
error of one man will substantiate the vir-
tue of another. But where all are so pro-
life of speech it is difficult programme to
successfully follow, and, like edged tools,
prove very dangerous when recklessly
handled. The first to bear the brunt of this
kind of argument was Senator Morton, who
appears to he a recent convert to the more
money party. Smarting under the exposal
of past utterances he examined the Globe,
and as a reward discovered that the only
perceptible difference between Mr. Sherman
and himself Is, that while both have, at
stated intervals, held the same views, now
they have changed places, and are again
Numerically opposite. And this gave Mr..
Morton the sought opportunity TO proclaim
his antagonist the best exponent Of the
policy Of increased circulation that has ever
appeared in Senatorial conflict. But this
rehabilitation of old theories does NOT ap-
pear to possess any merit as remedial
agent in the present crisis. and can only be
intended to confound their authors. This
introduction Of rebuttal evidence was only
the prelude to an event in which the loss
Of Senatorial dignity was the most prom
inent Characteristic. The old vagary still

ONE of the Philadelphia evening !

ONE of the Philadelphia evening journals,
the Bulletin, We believe-tclls the following
story about two Of its representatives in Con-
gress and the Centennial Mr.. O'Neill had
been intrusted with the memorial asking Con-
gress to assemble in Carpenters hall in septem-
Der next, and it was his intention to press upon
Congress the duty of accepting the invitation.
But as soon as Mr.. O'Neill was safely out of
the way, Judge Kelley introduced resolution
upon the subject, and thus very dexterously
contrived to rob his absent colleague of what
ever glory was 10 be obtained by appearing as
the champion of measure which was certain
to be very popular at home" If Judge Kelley
did this it was really cruel. The only way to
remedy the thing now is to give Mr.. O'Neill .

about the Centennial.
