Opening Of the Cotton Market.

Owing to a combination of I'M
toward and depressing circumstances,
we may expect the cotton market to
open this fall very dull and at low
figures, and the planter should make
his calculations accordingly. The
financial outlook is not promising by
any means; in fact we seem to be
verging on another crisis, to Judge
from recent failures oe some of the
most prominent commercial houses
in Europe and America.
The great banking house of Duncan,
Sherman & Co., of New York, whose
liabilities are estimated at five or six
millions of dollars, was closed on
Tuesday, and its affairs placed in the
hands Of an assignee. The asset Of
the house are principally in cotton in
Liverpool, which will be thrown upon
the market no doubt and sold at
reduced figures. Gold went up on
Wall Street to ll4a as soon as it was
known this house was closed Its
failure will no doubt be followed by
many others, as its credit was as
good as any house in America up to
the very moment it closed.
The cotton mills of England seem
to be in very bad condition. Out
of sixty-six mills at Oldham only six
are running, sixty being Close d and
the operatives thrown out of employ.
ment.
Upon the whole the outlook for our
cotton crop of this year, which will
soon be in the market, is by no
means fattering, and those who are
not able to hold it until things change
and a better market is opened for it,
may expect to receive very low
figures for it, unless things change
for the better before it is in the
market.

The Auditor Tenders his ReSiSna-
ton, and it is Accepted.

On the 2lst of July Auditor
Clinton rendered bis resignation, to
take effect on the 18th day of Deem
Der next, assigning as his reason for
so doing that he is tired of the IN
equal struggle of trying to protect
the finances of the State from the
ravagcs Of corrupt officials, rings and
other thieves, and charging the
Treasurer with being in collision with
these public plundcrers; and his
reason for dating the taking effect of
his resignation in December he states
to be, TO save the expense Of ordering
a new election, to give him time to
straighten up his books and to avoid
the charge of resigning to escape
further investigation and exposure
Gov. Kellogg accepts his resignation
and partially vindicates his character,
but intlmateS that he would have
sailed smoother if he had winked at
rascality for party's sake and been
more obedient to his party's behcsts.
We are inc.intd to believe that
Clinton is an honest man, that the
irregularities of his Office is chargeable
to his want of knowledge and the
rascality and lncompctency Of his
assistants, and for this reason we are
sorry he resigned; for with an
Auditor in collision with the Treas
urer and ring of thieves that SWARM
about that department the State is
| bound to suffer. And we have no
hope of Kellogg appointing any one
who is likely to interpose any objec-
ton to the piilagc of the people. The
Ring has driven its only opponent
from the field, and is not likely to
allow any other impeachment to be
thrown in its way.

FROM MONROE.
A Serious Affray-A Vicksburger
Interested.

MONROE, La July 25, 1875.
In advance of a regular letter |
give you now an account Of very
serious difficulty which occurred here
last night between Mr.. Geo J. Brad
field, of Vicksburg, and Mr.. Ems
minger, of Monroe, to which your
correspondent was an eye witness.
Both these gentlemen are engaged in
the ice business here, Mr.. Bradfield
being more recent candidate for
patronage in this line than the other
gentleman, and consequently the two
are rivals. They have, it appears,
not only been rivals, but have become
personally disagreeable to each other,
the reason being l believe that Brad
field has put the price Of Ice down to
a sum much low er than that asked by
Ensmingcr, and also been more
prompt in the delivery, etc. Brad
fields ice house is on the railroad
while Ensminger's is down in the
city the former has, therefore, adj
vantages in receiving his shipments
from Vicksburg which the latter does
not possess-stilI they have been
using the same platform until last
evening, when Bradfeld objected to
the use by his competitor, when the
latter claimed that be had just the
same right to use the platform as the
other. In the dispute which arose
Mr.. Ensminger called Mr.. Bradfeld q
liar, the epithet being embellished
with its usual profane accompaniment.
Bradield walked away from the angry
and excited man, and as be left he re-
marked: an see you again about

The Road Law Sustained.

It was generally understood in our
parish that the case Of the State VS..
W. 7. Ivy, for failure to work the
road, which was tried in the Parish
Court week before last, was test
case, which was to decide whether or
not the Police Jury had a right to
make it a penal offence for a person
10 refuse to work the road His
honor, r. p. Williams, Parish Judge,
had the case under advisement for
several days, and VIC presume gave
it and the law thorough and ex-
haustive investigation and the result
was q decision sustaining the road
law and the conviction of the accused.
But for the forethought of the accused,
in paying the fine of the Alto Justice
Court before the case was brought
before the Parish Court, he would
have been sent to Jail under the de-
cision of the latter; but the produc-
,ion of a receipt from the Justice,
dated prior to the filing of the informa-
ton in the Parish Court, saved him
from going to the lookup. We believe
this is a true statement of the case,
as far as we can learn, which would
have been made in our last issue but
that we were waiting to be furnished
with a correct transcript from our
District Attorney Protein, but which
we failed to get. We applied to the
Clerk for a copy of the decision and
was informed that it was not made in
writing, which fact we offer as an
excuse if tue statement is not correct,

While we acknowledge the great
Importance of the financial department
of our government, and its establish
ment upon a hard money basis, we
still insist that the first work of the
people is to rescue the government
from the hands of those who have
brought the financial trouble upon Us.
Indeed we can see no other means
of escape from the difficulty; no other
means of establishing any solid linan-
cial basis, than by taking all the
affairs of government out of the hands
of those who have proven themselves
incapable of managing them, revolu-
tionizing the whole system of finance
and civil service, and organizing a
new system Of retrencbment and
economy in the management of the
affairs of government.
1t is folly-madness-for the people
to allow themselves to be duped and
lulled into q delusive confidence in
future prosperity AID security to be
evolved from the enunciation of self
evident axioms, of an equalization Of
the circulating mediums, without even
a suggestion of practical means of
bringing about such equalization,
while the expenses of the government
continue to exceed the revenue.
The remedy lies in striking out
boldly in favor of the abolishing of
the circumlocution offices of our gov
eminent, the turning out of the Bar
nacle families, driving off of the vul-
lures, a reduction of the numerous
officials and attaches to the lowest
number possible, and reduction Of
their salaries to such amounts as will
compensate them for their services,
and not set them up as lords add
princes, to revel in all manner Of &C.
bauchery at the expense of people
whom they are reducing 20 q state of
serfdom by their profigacy. The
party that will enter the campaign of
1876 on such platform as this should
triumph over all OPPOSITION Then
would a government promise to pay
be worth its face value in gold in any
market, and there would be enough
money in the country for all practical
purposes without any imitation.

Publishers Of country papers cannot always
wish theirs discontinued AT the expiration Of
the time, while majority do not. Knowing
the BEAC is worth mor1 than the subscrip-
ton price, and that it is so regarded by large
number of patrons, we have no desire to
force it upon any one; and, therefore, suggest
notify us of the fact as soon as their time ex-
pires, and not continue to receive it for eight
or ten months and then refuse to pay for it
because they didn't renew their subscription
that is not honest.

No business firm composed of men
of intelligence would think of expect.
ing corps of clerks who had brought
it to the verge Of bankruptcy, through
incaracity or dishonesty. to bring it
safely out of its financial difficulties
and if the company were to entrust
the task to such clerks its members
would be regarded as either idiotic
or insane. So should the people OF
the United States bregarded if they
any long entrust those who have in
volved the country in' its present
financial difficulty with the manage.
ment Of the affairs Of government.
It strikes us as ridiculously absurd
to hear republicans talking about that
party arriving at a practicable solu'
ton of the vexed problem, and bring
ing the government safely out Of the
difficulty into which it has been
pluneing it deeper and deeper every
day since it assumed control OF the
affairs of government. Better "step
down and out" acknowledge their
inability to untangle the skein and
turn it over to new hands.
