Cotton.

The market this morning was very
quiet, though prices were firm; offerings
were light, with a good inquiry, and in
most cases holders we're asking full
prices, hence transactions we're not very
heavy. Estimated sales for the day, 500
bales; sales yesterday were $50 bales, Of
which spinners took 225, exporters 100
and spectators so. New York spots

THE REPUBLICAN, NOMINEE FOR CONGRESS.
The nomination Of DR.. C. S. MILLS for the
House Of Representatives by the Radical
Convention yesterday is in advance a con-
fcssion Of the defeat that awaits the candi~
date Of that party. DR.. MILLS is gentle
man OF character and reputation; but he is
not ut all fitted to be a congressman. Nor
do we suppose that either he or his nomina-
tors expect success to crown their efforts to
defeat GILBET c. WALKER. PopHAM, being
little lame, initiated the Vermont cap
tain in the army Of the Revolution,
and began his retreat "just before
the battle" was joined. Like JOEY BAG
STOCK, he IS 'sdeyilish sly" and has left
DR.. MILLS to hold the bag. AS, how
ever, the Doctors present Office IS to be
filled next year by some good Democrat, ne
is exeusablc for taking call the chances"
though we must confess that We count this
last chance regular ToM-THUAB.
Governor WALKER can now go on with
his can yass in the western States. He is not
needed here. His election is assured.

It expected that people who never reaa
the law and the decisions Of the Supreme
Court, and know nothing about the powers
that have been legally entrusted to these de-
putty marshals, will be overawed by the airs
these creatures Of the Administration may
nut on ut the election precincts, and for fear
OF being arrested will keep away from the
polls. We hope the press throughout the
country will take pains to enlighten their
readers on this matter by the publication OF
the lao as it is, and not as Judge Taft
paints it, and will see to it that no man is
intimidated by this bullying letter OF the
Attorney General. Thank Heaven! he is
not the Judge OF the law. The Supreme
Court of the United States Is yet pure and
unsullied IN it's judicial capacity, and it has
again and again set aside the unconstitu-
tional cnactments of a Radical Congress on
this very subject, and 1ebuked the partisan
Administration that has attempted their en-
forcement. The liberties OF the country
are in its hands and not in the dirty palm OF
Alphonzo Norfolk Yirginian.
In the absence Of Inappropriate legisla.
tion," and in face Of the unconstitutional
character Of the enforcement law, the
present orders OF the General command
ing and the War Department contemplate
nothing more nor less than the establish
ment OF martial law in times Of peace; and
we are anxious to know what the good peo-
pie OF the country Will say in reply to this
bold and despetic assumption Of authority;
Are the southern States to be satrapies, ana
Washington to be modern Susa, or IS the
Constitution to be preserved in its integ-
rity, and the States respected? This is the
question which they must answer.-Nor-

Edwards Oh any other Southern Methodist
preacher. II he choose to remove to one OF
those cities he will at once be enrolled as 4
member OF the Annual Conference and sta
toned wherever the bishop shall deem it
proper 10 send him."
No. The two Churches arc rs distinct As
they have been for thirty years. Neither
ministers nor members can be enrolled in
either Church on mere removal. They must
be formally received by certificate. We are
sorry the Dispatch cannot get out Of the
Cloud christian Adrocate.
1t is the -idcocdte that is in nNbibuS; not
we. The agreement between the commits
sioners OF the two Churches says:
"They should each receive from the Other
ministers and members in good standing
with the same alacrity and credit as il com
in" from their own Church, and without in
reference with each others institutions OF
missions they should nevertheless COOPERATE
III all Christian enterprises"
Dr. EDWARDS would, therefore, be re
ceived in the Baltimore Conference OF TIT
Northern Church "with the same dtaCritl
and credit us if coming from" a norther,
conference.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1876-09-07

The Richmond Dispatch advises Mr.
Tucker to drop his argument Oil the constl-
nationality OF magistrates opening and dc
tanning the United States mail, as unsuited
to the temper OF tue times and inconsistent
with the arbitramcnt OF war. We quite
agree with the Dispatch in this level -headed
remonstrance, and as Mr.. Tucker will prob
ably be renominated for Congress to-day
we respectfully recommend it to his favor
able Observation-Disclosures appeal.
Now that GRANT has determined to elect
HAYES by force and bribery, we are dis
posed to say that if RAYS speech had never
been made tile result would have been the
same. The soldiers and money OF the
United States are such powerful instru-
ments of oppression and SO convincing us
arguments, that RAMS logic is nowhere.
Before TAFT's order was issued we were dis
posed to blame him for having lost us votes
enough in some of the closely-contested
States to have elected TlLDEN ii added to
the votes he will receive anyhow; but now
we shall lay our defeat entirely upon TAFT,
GRANT. and the army and money OF UNCLE
