Of the 81, 100000 Of bonds out Of which the
State was swindled by that concern, and
which have been funded into consols. We
shall review the facts In this case Tomorrow.
We suggest now that Senator Mitchell, or
one Of his colleagues, offer . resolution to In
oulre into the plumber Of the free school fund
under act No. 81 Of 1879. Relative to this in
famous act, the present Supreme Court, in
the case OF the State ex rel. T. J. Durant vs.
the Board Of Liquidation, declared that It
was Unconstitutional and an net of spolia-
ton, designed to deplete the treasury Of every
available asset or fund in It,"
Again the court said: 'sThese school bonds
were supposed to be more saleahle chan Audi
tors warrants and certificates ofindebtedness,
with which the State had been deluged /;
hence, some device to get hold OF them had to
be concocted, and act No. 81 was the result"
And again the court said: "We, therefore, re-
gard the sale of these bonds held by the relator
to be null and void, and that he acquired no title
to them by virtue of the pretended sale under
section Of said act No. ST.
The fund thus abolished and then plundered
amounted to Si,123,5OO. Has the State no

The fifty odd Cheyennes that escaped death

have decamped and again got away from our
bold soldiers. They were surrounded, 1t was

There seems to be no lack OF unanimity on
the question of national quarantine. The
press, Northern, Western and Southern alike,
declare In favor Of an immediate and strict
quarantine. Such appears to be the view OF
every Senator and Representative. expert
and doctor, who came South to study our
late epidemic. Many papers urge this in the
interest OF New Orleans, declaring that
failure to do this will work irreparable injury
to our city, and probably result In heavy
loss of property, as they believe In the
earnestness of the threats of the Central Mis-
sissippi and Tennessee papers to burn the
railroad bridges, If necessary, to sever con-
nection with New Orleans We notice good
many slurs in the Northern press on the
present sanitary condition of this city;
indeed, all our visitors declare it to be
In an extremely filthy and unsatisfactory
condition. There seems to be general dis
position to attack New Orleans also. on the
supposition that public opinion here is bitter
ly opposed TO o quarantine-a supposition
evidently based on some wild remarks Of one
OF our city papers.

visible supply of cotton has not been
as low on the lst Of June as it
is now. Our total receipts to this
date are $4,000 bales ahead of last
year at this time, and as the table will
show, much more than that ahead of
any previous season. Yet the avail
able supply is so much below former
years that it is expected the stock on
hand will be largely reduced before
the end of September next. 1t is 1G
weeks until then, and at an average of
$4,000 bales per week for European
consumption, a low estimate, it will
require 100000 bales to satisfy the
trade until that date. The following
are the statistical figures:
