THE MISSOURI REPUBLICAN,
Hts Flag and EmbIems,
Democratic Principles, and the Inter-
ests of the West and south.
A Journal fOs the Home Circle, the
Office, the Store and the
Counting Room.

Prosperity still attends tho Missouri Repub-
lican. Surviving the malice of enemies and
the rivalry of competitors, its course continues
onward and upward. Wholly unscathed il
has passed through wars, conhagrations, eras
of business depression, political prescription
and periods of public corruption: and now it
points to its past conservative, progressive,
honorable record as an earnest of its future.
Plunderers, schemers. disturbers of the peace,
destroyers of the good name of the state and
their kind will be lashed as heretofore. Those
who assist to build up, promote and advance
the commercial. manufacturing and agricul-
tural interests of the Mississippi Valley will be
applauded and encouraged. The Republican
will aim to unity and make solid the peaceful,
not partisan, objects that must hereafter en-
gage the attention of the people of the West
and South. 1t will seek to allay sectional Bit
terness, instead of arraying section against sec
ton. 1t will war against Radicalism of all
sorts, holding that the safest channel is be-
tween the extremes. 1t will oppose Repudia-
ton and advocate honesty in regard to debts.
1t will favor sound currency sufficient for the
purpose of business. and suited alike to the
debtor and creditor classes. 1t will steadily
advocate atte ntion by the general government
to the subject of land and water transp ,rtation,
at least to the point of equality in behalf of this
section with the North and East. In the Pres
idential canvass os 1881 will support the nom-
inees OF the national Democratic convention
confident that they will be worthy; and with
the same belief it will promote the success of
the Democratic candidates for state. congress
sional and LEGAL offices.
Thus, with programme in accordance with
the fixed principles of years, and with a mis-
sion to inform, to educate, the Republican
puts forth its prospectus for 1880. All the news
from every quarter, excepting the merely sem
sational and prurent from the Sums and pur-
lieus ofvice-all the best current literature
the most careful and reliable reports of politi-
cal, commercial, financial and local events
the important doings of congress and of the
state NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. with editorial COM
ments by a corps of able writers-will continue
to be its leading features. Friends of the pa
per. who feel interested in tho circulation of
sound, conservative Democratic views. and
who appreciate reliable, pains taking Fami-
ly Journal, are respectfully asked to exert
themselves in this behalf in their several
neighbOrhoods.

Suffrage and Representation.

a reasonable call is made upon the
Superintendent of the Census of 1880
to collect statistics of the number of
the States by restrictions which should
lessen the representation of those
States pursuant to the fourteenth
amendment Of the federal constitution.
Although the ratification of that
amendment was perfected long before
the census of 1870 was taken, no sta>
tistics of the kind were collected in
that year. We observe that the
Springfield Republican-good New
England authoiity-admits that if
they had been they would have depri,
ed New England of probably one
and possibly two" members of the
House of Representatives, and conse-
quently of the Electoral College, by
JASON of the restrictions existing in
Rhode Island and Massa, hu ;etts
When We remember that the last
Presidential election was determined
by a majority of one vote in the cleo
toral count, and that the next bids
fair to be very closely contested, the
gravity of the omission in1S70 is MAJ :
ifest without argument. If the Super.
intendent of the Census does not pos
sess the requisite authority to avoidthis
omission next year there should be no
delay on the part of Congress to con-
fer it, so that the facts may be ascer>
tanned in season for the nextapportion-
ment of Representatives and Electors.

COTTONPRICEs AND COTTON
FACTS.
Memphis Appeal.

The strong and rapid rise in the
price of cotton is leading TO much dis
cussion rs to what the result viii be,
and whether prices as they stand will
hold, or whether they are in part the
produce of excitement and specula>
ton. 1t is not surprising that such
questions should be asked VIXEN we see
the startling contrast between thisyears
quotations and those of last year. In
Memphis yesterday, middling cotton
quoted twelve and three-quarter cents
a pound; on the same day last year
the quotation was eight and one-eighth
cents, difference of four and one
fourth cents pound. The New York
Chronicle has an article in this weeks
issue headed, "The Cotton Craze" a
title that initiates its estimate of pres
ext prices The article gives up
guessing where the advance will stop,
hut says that all admit there will con e
a turning point. The Chronicle pro-
ceeds TO advise that heads be kept
"level" and the facts of supply and
demand attended to. Although the
rivers have been very low, receipts
from plantations showed, on Friday
last, an excess of four hundred and
sixty-one thousand three hundred and
eighty-six bales over last season az the
same time, and our supply for Europe
will not he less than three million,
three hundred thousaGd bales. Put
ting aside South Carolina, and posi-
bly, North Carolina, except Texas, no
state will show decrease; in the Mis-
sissippi valley there is very large in
crease. The total supply Of Europe
this year, reduced TO bales of four hun
dred pounds, will be six million two
hundred and nine Thousand and sixty
two hales, of which four million Two
hundred and twenty.seven thousand
and five hundred bales will he Ameri-
can. This is the supply; now what
i Europe's cen sumption? Wild ideas
prevail on the subject without facts to
justify estimates. Ellison's circular
shows that up to Nov. l, England has
consumed weekly only fifty thousand
and the continent forty-seven thou
sand bales of four hundred pounds
each. At low prices this proportion
might be increased later, but who will
speculate in cotton at l3 to ii cents a
pound on Il large increase of consump-
ton in Europe, when every country
there has suffered the infection of bad
harvests? Suppose, however, that the
consumption should rise to a hundred
thousand bales a week, this would
make FIVE million two hundred thou
sand bales for the year and have
million bales TO be added to the stock
at the end of the year. The Chroni-
Gle declines to comment upon these
f,cts, but they will not fail to receive
attention from the thoughtful.

Probable UpshOt of the Louis
lana Senatorial Investigation.
The clerk of the committee which
went to Louisiana to investigate SEN
ator kellogg, writes to the paper in
Georgia of which he is editor, giving
resume of the Investigation. He
says: 40 most of those who have fol-
lowed the progress of the investiga.
ton in Washington and in New Or
leans, two things will appear. First,
that the pretended Legislature which
elected Kellogg to the United States
Senate did not have a legal quorum,
and that Kellogg resorted to openand
indiscriminate corruption to secure the
votes of this illegal body; aud, second,
that Judge Spofford himself was not
legally chosen United States Senator
from Louisiana. Therefore, we can
see but one course for the Senate to
pursue in the determination of this
question, and that is to say that Meth
er the sitting member nor the contes-
tant was legally elected, and declare
the seat vacant. This can be speedily
filed by the new Legislature of Louis
lana, and then the State will once
more have two legally chosen Sena-
tors"

What Memphis Asks.

The citizens of Memphis do not ask
the State of Tennessee to give them
anything. They do not ask for any
remission of taxes. They simply ask
the privilege of taxing themselves
to pay for building sewers. The citi-
zens had better pay half million dol
lars out of their own pockets than be
compelled to flee another summer

October 18th, 1878, it sold at S6A, a
fluctuation of 93s per cent. in seven
days; 1880 shares sold on a margin of
one per cent. required an actual CAPT.
tai of $12,5O0. The same stock deliver

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, July 10, 1879.


Mr.. EDITORIALS still further evil
dence Of the true spirit of the South in
regard to their cause not being lost on
the battlefield and their faith in estab.
fishing the supremacy Of State-rights
so earnestly advocated by the Confed-
crate Democracy during the late extra
session Of Congress, l give extracts
from memorial address delivered a
short time since, at Rose Hill Cemetery,
Macon, Ca, by the Rev. Walker Lewis.
Ladies and Gentlemen We meet
here to commemorate our fallen heroes
and emphasize our loyalty to the cause
for which they died. Mindful Of their
heroism and self-immolatisn in our
behalf, we should greet every Memorial
Day with the symbols of veneration
and abiding gratitude. The clay that
sentinels their sacred dust from profane
intrusion is greatly honored, and privi-
legged in no common way are the
hearts that mingle tears and flowers
upon their silent graves.
The motives that impelled our dead
to take the sword need no aid from
men to insure successful defense; from
the heights Of their sublime holiness
they can never be dislodged. No thirst
for blood, no greed Of gain, no instinct
to plumber, was the impulsive cause of
their arming; and not before their
country was invaded and their rights
were imperiled did they appeal to wars
stern arbitratment.
AS Abraham spoke in the olden
time to his kinsman, Lot, the South,
before her sword was drawn, had said
to the North, "Let their be no more
