resources OF our interior country
and create both an increased demand
for and production of the grea'

commands the highest market price.
Witness in proof the more than suc'

THE COURT BiLL.

Az will be seen by an article in
another column, Senator Lamar
came nobly to the escue of the peo'
pie OF our section when the bill
authorizing a special term of the
United States district court to be
holden at this place came up before
the senate last week. The senate
judiciary committee reported advcr-
scly on the bill, Notwithstanding it
had passed the house, and when it
came before the senate there was
great influence brought to bear
against the passage of The bill, but
Mr.. Lamar, with the character stic
zeal which has marked his course in
every measure which he deemed for
the best, stood up man(uliy for tue
rights Of u people, and through
his able and persistent efforts Sc
cured the passage Of a bill, which,
to the people of the seacoast, is
second in importance TO none. 1t
has been our course in all matters
TO condemn when we deemed justi-
fed, and to praise when Observed,
and although we were greatly OPP
posed to Senator Lamar's course
with reference TO the silver bill and
took location to express our oplnN
ion thereon, his action in regard to
the court bill is deserving of the
highest praise at the hands of our
mill and log men, and Of the whole
in this section of country,
n or would we stop here, but to
Messrs. Morgan, of Alabama, Jones
Of Florida, Ellis of Louisiana, and
all the members of. congress from
Mississippi would we extend the
of our citizens for their eff.
orts to relieve US of one OF the most
niquitous and Unjust measures ever
1tempted upon a free people.

REMARKABLE. SUCCESS.

The success of the leading literary paper OF
the West, The CHICAGO LEDGEH, Is truly re-
markable. Since its Introduction TO the read
ing public, SIX years ago, The LEDGER has
steadily advanced in favor, aud is now ac-
knowledged second to no paper of the kind IN
the country. Its circulation Js national, and
has been obtained through the efforts of its
publishers to produce a paper Of high moral
character, and at the same time sell it at a price
consistent with the present hard times. That
they have succeeded, and well. too, the thou
sands ofreaders of THE LEDGER scattered from
Maine to Texas and from Oregon to Florida
will bear testimony. THE CHICAGO LeDeEB
IS a large forty-eight column weekly paper,
which contains stories both complete and
continued. in each number, written by the
best authors, and a great variety Of informa-
ton interesting to every one. The subscrip.
ton price of TN LEDGER is only Sl.50 per
year. postage paid, aud it is equal in every
particular TO other papers OF the same ebarac-
ter which sell for a year. Three copies Of
this valuable paper will be sent to any one who
sends 10 cents and then address 10 tbs

LAMAR'S VICTORY.
Timber Quesiion-uis Able Defense
of the Court BiI.

Special to Chicago Times.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator
Lamar gained quite a victory in the
senate to-day. The house bill pro.
viding for an extra session Of the
United States court in the southern
district of Mississippi, TO be held on
the second Monday in March, had
been reported adversely by the com
mittee on judiciary. This report
was pretty unanimous, being sus-
tanned by all the republican mems
bers Of the committee, as well as by
Senators Davis and Thurman, yet
Lamar succeeded in calling to his
support a majority of the senate,
and passed the bill over the report
by six majority. This bill excited
no little debate. Its main purpose
is to try the timber depreciation
cases. The report Of the committee
was based upon the theory that the
bill would establish.
A BAD PRECEDENT
and would be detrimental 10 public
interests. as it was not probable
that a fair trial could be had at this
time. Lamar and others advocated
the passage of the bill upon the
ground that the timber business Of
Mississippi was paralyzed by the
high-handed procedure of the gov
eminent agents in Selling timber
upon the merest p~retcxts' Morgan,
Of Alabama, Jones, Of Florida, and
Ellis, of Louisiana, all spoke in favor
of the bill, and the latter offered an
amendment making the provisions
of the bill extend to other states.
This was afterward withdrawn, how
ever, at the request Of Lamar, as it
promised to embarress the Missis-
sippi bill. Senators Edmunds, Da4
Wis, Thurman and Stone made
speeches against the bill. During
the discussion
BLAINE
again took sides with the demo-
Gratis. who seemed to make up La
mars backing, and made G lengthy
speech, in which he arraigned secN
rotary Carl Schurz for his action
in these timber seizures, Blaine was
not over particular in his remarks,
and handled MIR. Schurz with un>
gloved hands. He styled the acts
of this modern reformcr as without
law, and in his opinion, without
judgment Or discretion. There
were several attempts made to ad,
journ without voting on the bill, but
they were all defeated. Had more
time been given for debate, it is
surmised that
MR.. SCHURZ
would have been ventilated without
mercy. As it is, other bills OF q
nature will be in order, and
Schurz will be handled again

After more than a years silence.
the writer again enters the journals
istic arena. The ~hackneyed no
time" was the chief cause OF our re
tirement, and now on the occasion Of
a new debut, as it were, a generous
public is informed that only at in
tervals will we be guilty of intruding
upon its notice.
A general review Of the seasons
festivities convinces even an impar>
tial critic that pleasure has reigned
supreme. Dame Rumor is, how
ever, silent relative to the matrimo>
NAL market, which matter is a uMi>
versal regret, the more so as
marriage ceremonies r becoming
beautifully less in number.
Spring has come, and with its
coming we bid adieu to whatever
disappointment may have been occa-
stoned in the past, and with fond
pleasure look forward to the reallza-
ton of hopes now bright with
promise. But two seemingly short
months have passed, yet within this
short space Of time how many events
have taken place?
Events of magnitude and interest,
to which many Of us have given but
little thought or attention. Events
have also transpired affecting us
individually and collectively. refers
ence now being made to local lumber
trouble.
Happily we are in a measure re-
lieved for the present. The last Of
the thirty thousand logs which were
seized al Coward & Reeves boom
on Biloxi river we're bonded yester-
day. Considerable suffering has
been caused by the unjust action Of
government agents in TIE premises,
who seem TO have labored more to
crafty personal ends than public
zeal. As an extra session OF the
United States court is ordered for
Monday next at Scranton, it is safe
to conjecture that the troubles OF
oppressed mill and log men will be
ended.
In conformity to the annual GUS
tom, this being the season for factory
talk, the question is again %agitated.
That a cotton and wooden factory
is needed on the coast, or several, is
proved by the fact that thousands OF
dollars are yearly expended by our
merchants in the markets of New
Orleans and Mobile for this class of
goods. We have natural advan.
tages conducive to their successful
J manufacture not possessed by other
