q The aggregate receipts Of cotton
here for the presentseason now reaches
1863, ,484 bales, and 38,019 ahead of last
year; also 19,349 ahead of year before
last at this date. If we receive as
much from now to the close Of August
as we did last season, our total for the
current year will exceed 425, 600 bales.
The incoming receipts, accord
ing to the cotton EXCHANGE
figures, by the various lines of traffic
continue to excite attention and all
worthy Of comparison with last years
movement. The Little Rock railway
shows as heretofore the largest excess,
it having brought here 81, ,148 bales
against 80, ,448 bales at this date last
season. The Memphis and Charleston
ranks next, its import list being H.
S48 bales against 62,855 bales, The
Mississippi and Tennessee road has
brought 48,57S bales against $1,000
bales the Memphis and Paducah
road 95O6 bales, against SO4O
bales. The Louisville and Nash
vile exhibits decrease Of nearly
1000 bales, the total being 81, ,543 bales,
against 38,434 last year. The river
imports aggregate 92,632 bales. Of
this, 64,O44 bales came from the main
valley Of the Mississippi river, and
is over 5000 bales ahead Of last year.
White river has sent us 1923 bales,
an excess Of nearly 2OGO over last
year. Arkansas river has sent 97O6
bales, decrease Of nearly 1000, and
st. Francis has shipped 1854 bales,
falling off of nearly
1000 bales The export movement is
also matter Of interest. The total
to yesterday reaching, 1926 bales
against 256,731 bales last year at this
time. Of this the Mississippi and
Tennessee railroad carried south
1891 bales, against 3S,O52 last year !.
while steamboats, have carried bur
6782 bales south, against 67 $50 bal 5
at this date last season. Boats to the
north have taken 81, ,272 bales, against
54,34l. The Memphis and Charleston
railroad has taken out 49,.
7S8, against 1862, ind the Louis
vile and Nashville S1,62l, against
6O,44S bales last year at this date.
The stock here is now III ,662 bales.
and is nearly double the stock we
held last year or the year before at
this time. Last weeks sales were
1900 bales, but more liberal takings
are anticipated during the next few
days if the stimulated feeling which
sprung up yesterday and still prevails,
is maintained. H isDolI

THE SALARY ACT DECLARED UNCON-
STITUTIONAL.

A special dispatch received at loon
to-day from Nashville announces that
the $4,000 act; passel by tie
last legislature, has been declared un !
constitutional by the supreme court
This is a just decision and nothing
more than we expected. The act
was piece of demagoguery
on the part of the authors and abet-
tors, and was intended to make a
cheap reputation for few men, at the
expense of the larger counties in this
state. The unconstitutionality of such
an act WAS urged in the legislature,
but its advocates insisted on giving it
u trial, and now we see the
result. The Shelby delegation,
we are frank to say, voted for
the bill, with but one or two
exceptions, but owing to the numer-
Gus Memphis bills pending they we're
not in a position TO resist the over
whelming majority mustered in the
name of the Three R's"-retrench-
ment, reform, relief. Judge j. L. T.
Sneed, who received the dispatch, was
one Of the leading counsel for the
plaintiffs against the state.

CowLEY, the shepherd, when taken
to BlackwelIs island to serve his
term of one year in the peniten-
tiary, was recognized by some of the
convicts to whom he had preached
such long sermons that their dinners
was cold when they got away from
him. Hence they had given him
the pet name Of Gold Soup"
Before Oowley's long beard was
shaved off be had a fine clerical ap-
pearancc; but after that, when he
came out in a convicts suit, he had
more of the appearance Of an English
prize fighter. He is English by birth,
and is ffty-two years old. He has
neryed himself to serve out his term,
and has gone to work at the shoe
trade. From the start he has made.
it is likely that he will come out
fair shoemaker, and be able to do
more good to mems soles than he ever
did before. An example of this
kind will have salutary effect. Too
many men adopt the cloak of religion
to serve the devil in, and Cowlcy
seems TO be one of this class who
bring shame upon the cause of re-
ligion anda blush to the very cheek of
civilization. The exposure and
prompt punishment Of such men de-
ters the ruilty and encourages those
who DO their duty.

The Representatives OF a Big

Dismissed without Warm

ceeding.

New York specill to Chicago Tribune.l
A no less singular event than the
discharge of an entire firm was the
business sensation here to-day. There
is probably no more extensive cotton
and produce commission house in the
world than the firm of Ralli Brothers.
Their headquarters arein London, and
they have branch house in everyciv-
ilized country. The New York concern
has been managed by Panitelli and
Antonio Faehiri and Antonio Vouros.
p. A. Fachiri and Mr.. Vouros have
been here six years. Previous to that
the latter was manager of the Calcutta
branch. Under the peculiar regula-
tions of the central firm, Messrs.
Fachiri aud Vouros were allowed a
"house.rent" salary of four thousand
dollars per annum each, and given an
interest in the profits of the branch,
besides being regarded as partners of
the Ralli Bros. 1t is a rule of the
central firm to require all its partners.
before admission, to sign paper
declaring their position forfeited
the moment they speculate in one bale
of cotton, one pound ofhemp, jute or
fax seed, one railroad share, one share
of any kind dealt on any stock OK
change in any country and so son
Even what are known as full partners,
gentlemen who invest 100000 in the
capital of the concern, are required to
bind themselves to an observance of
this rule. The head Of the London
house heard, it appears, that his New
York managers were speculating in
cotton. About three months ago p. Y 4,
Fachiri-no relative of the gen
tleman before name--came to
this country ostensibly to
add his experience to the
New York branch. He has
been connected with tie Ralli
Brothers for tn rty years, and was
formerly principal Of the Bombay
house. He had himself duly elected
member of the cotton exchange, and
went to work as though he meant to
stay. His real purpose, however, was
to investigate the charges of specula
ton against his fellow partners. He
conducted his inquiries with such
secrecy that they never susp aeted him
In the Germanic, which arrived Sun
day, was Theodore Ralli, nephew Of
the senior partners of the Ralli
brother When Messrs. Fachiri and
VourOs came down to their office this
morning they were astounded to find
in the possession Of ?. Y. Fachiri
and T. 2, Ralli, who handed each Of
hem copies of an official note inform
ing them that they were at once
retired from employment. This was
the first notification they received.
Similar notes were sent privately to
various customers of the concern
throughout the country. The affair
has caused tremendous sensation in
businel circles here. The action is
without precedent.
