Cortina is in the hands of tho authori-
ties. In the language of the day, "what
will they do about it3" Some of his po-
lice. or, more properly speaking, SNUG
glers, thieves and robbers, have also
been arrested by the military guard on
the frontier, and are now safe in prison.
For many years Cortinn has openly de-
fed the Government Of Mexico, and
reig1ed supreme on the Rio Grande
Through the Free Zone he smuggled
goods into both Mexico and tho United
States, and reaped full and rich harvest
from this dishonest practice. At the
same time he conducted the cattle-steal-
ing business in that region Of Texas be-
tween the Rio Grende and Nueces, and
supplied the markets Of Cuba, Jamaica
md othor portions of tho West Indies
with provisions. This also added to his
yearly income. The Mexican Govern
and knew that Cortinn, while holding
the commission of general in the army
of the republic, was thief md muir
derer. On q recent occasion, when some
of his men were caught with stolen cat
tie IN their possession, and punished
by Mexican local officer, Cortina shot
the administrator of the INV and hing
one of the witnesses in the case. For
these acts he was summoned to the City
of Mexico. He did not go, but resigned
his military commission, and paid no
moro attention to the matter. This is
the man who is now in tho hands of the
authorities. If properly tried, he cannot
escape the gallows. The bullet lie is not
entitled to, as he is common outlaw, n
mean rObber of unnrmed ranches, de-
spiceble murderer Of women and chill
drcn. Now is the time for the Mexican
Government to show it's real desire to
break up robbery on the soil of the
United States. Let it hang Cortina and
the principal outlaws of his gang, and
scatter the remainder by the terrors of
the law. and peace will reign upon the
frontier

a congress of the cotton States will ns-
semble mt Raleigh, N. c., on the 18th of
this month. This body is composed of
delegates from the various agricultural
societies and organizations of the belt of
cotton-producingS States, and the meeting
is intended to consider and report upon
tho condition of tho Gotten interests in
certain localities, what means arc ncces-
sary in order to increase the area of cot
ton planted, and its yield per acre. The
labor question, policy of Southern manu-
fncturcs, and direct trade with Europe
will also be introduced in the congress,
and examined in all their bearings. The
South still hns mastery Of the cotton
supply of the world, and will continue
to have unless tho fact is changed by un-
wise action on tho part Of those engaged
in raising this product. The growing of
cotton has been tried in Brazil, Egypt
and India. In tho two latter countries
England has expended vast amount of
money to make the cotton crops n sue
cess. But the yield could not be forced
beyond certain point, and that not n
remunerative one either to grower or
buyer. AS q matter of course, consumers
of cotton in England, France and all
other manufacturing countries have
been compelled to fall back upon this
nation for their supply, and the demand
is increased. These facts will, no doubt,
enter largely into tho deliberations of
the coming congress

The iCoCRT OF COMMON PLEAs-ExTRA
TERM.-The case of the State of South
Carolina, plaintiff, against Niles G.
Parker, defendant, WAS called and PRO
ceedcd with.
Captain J. l.. Little continued lis tes
TINY. He testified rs to the amount of
bonds and coupons manipulated during
the time he was in the Trcasurcr's Office:
lie said that the safe i'll the office was
locked by combination lock, which
combination was not revealed to him
until within one month before he left.
Mr.. Henry l.. Tappnn was next called.
on behalf of the plaintiff. He testified
that he WAS in the Treasurcrs Office
from short time after n. c. paricrs
election up to within two weeks of
Parkcr's leaving the Office upon the cx-
pira.ion of his term; lie snid that if there
was any uniricndlincss or misundcr-
standing between himself and Parker, he
had forgotten it; he said Parker had
asked him IL few weeks before his term
expired whether he (Tappan) cared to
remain tonScr i'll the Office, provided his
salary WAS paid up to the expiration of
the term. Witness said lie would accept
the salary and leave the Office. He
was paid by Parker in full; he said
that there were two safes in the depart
mcnt, one in the Treasurcr's private
ONCE, and the other, larger one, in the
front Office; there was II vault also; dur
ing part Of Pnrker's term this vault was
poorly secured by wooden door. Wit
ness knew the combination on the large
safe, and, during Parkcr's absence, of
the smaller one. Witness remembered
only one box Of coupons sent by Kimp-
ton to Parker; this was sent after Sep
tember, 1871; Parker told witness to
place the coupons in the vault, md not
to cancel them. Witness examined the
box and saw that it contained coupons
done up in the ordinary way, without
paper Wrappers; afterwards Parker took
this box of coupons and placed it in his
private safe in the Treasurer's Office.
Witness remembers two or three coupons
plckcd up by servant while sweeping
the office; Parker had told witness that
he had lost one or two coupons. Wit
ness thinks they were found in the Trea-
surer's private Office. There was on one
occasion theft by n servant of two 500
bonds, which were left unsigned and un-
sealed in vault to which this servant
had access for the purpose of cleaning
It, There was also requisition by the
Treasurer on the Financial Agent, Kimp-
ton, for 700 coupons of the denonlina-
ton of $50 each; GOO were sent; these
were needed to straighten up the books

A REvENGEruL ORaAN.-Thc stomach
is revengeful organ. If we assign it
indiscstible food, it not only refuses to
perform its Office, but inflicts upon us
unspenkable torturcs, such MS those of
Indigestion, collie, cholera morbus, &c.
Not content with giving us pain, it fire.
4uenily inangurates nm excessive and
wasting diarrhona, called dyscntery,
which carries us to our graves. With II
view to prevent these consequences, as
soon as the stomach gives notice by pre-
monitory twinges that its cargo is not to
its liking, wine-glass-full or two of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters should be
swallowed. This admimblo digestive
cordial will promptly reconcile the re-
fractory organ to its contents, and pre-
vent any OF those annoying and possibly
fatal results which the presence of indi-
gestible food in the stomach is liable to
produce. The Bitters are also superb
tonic, restorative and appetizer. J9T1t3

Missing Man Found.

james o. Eddy, of Hartland, whose
mysterious disappearance about two
weeks ago has been the cause of much ex-
element and conjecture, was discovered
Wednesday of last week, at Eagle
bridge, N. Y. A Mr.. Andrew found
him in the barn, in the evening of that
day, where he had lain in sort of stu
por ever since the Tuesday noon before.
He said he had been without food for two
days and half, and had been wander
ing about the country for two weeks.
His swollen and blistered feet and gen.
orally emaciated and bedraggled ap-
pearance bore ample witness to the truth
ofhis statements. Eddy is said to be free
from disease, but seems to be in sadly
demented condition. 1t appears that
Mr.. Eddy who is nephew of Mr.. An.
drew has worked for him some fifteen
years ago, and there seems to have been
aim enough in the crazed mans wander
ings to visit the locality once familiar to
him. The unfortunate man was carried
to the house, being too weak to walk,
but recognized none of the family but
Henry Andrew, upon him he seemed to
rely and would not allow him to leave

graphed the news of the discovery to

overjoyed at seeing him alive, as fears
of murder or suicide had driven them
almost to distraction. Hopes are enter
tanned that his disorder may yield to
proper treatment, and that he may be
restored to soundness of mind.

North Carolina had an election for a
Constitutional Convention last week,
and the result has been practically an
unexpected republican success. The
democrats may have half dozen ma
jority in the convention, but the fact
that last year the State went democratic
by some 10000 majority, where nowthe
republicans have gained so largely as to
have majority on the popular vote, is
triumph sufficient to show that the peo-
pie of the old north State do not mean
to trust their affairs to unsafe and doubt
full hands.

Frederick Billings is making prepare
tions to exhibit his Southdown sheep at
the approaching New England, State
and county fairs, and he will receive
the thanks of breeders for bringing
them out. Some of his flock are first
prize English animals, and taking his
flock as whole, it is not saying too
much to say that it is superior to any
in the United States. He exhibited at
the New England fair last season for
the first time and took the first premiums.

Philadelphia, in 1876, what Vermont
can do in breeding these favorite Eng
