Stormy weather has interfered ma
t~erially with business for the past
forty hours, and cotton picking is in
a temporary state of suspension, while
gloom reigns for the time being among
cotton growers. Prices exhibit slight
changes from yesterday, with leading
articles of consumption in the main
tending downward. Corn is lower,
oats easy, bran and hay firm, cornmeal
dull and slow to sell; -four is weaker,
meats continue their downward in;
cline; sugar and molosses are looking
toward lower prices; rice is dull and
coffee tame. Several steamers at the
landing have been unable to deliver
large consignments for this market on
account oftheinclement weather. The

were mainly to GIL orders Of dealers.
and but little offers for sale from first
hands, while the dealers themselves

A Han OF
How Old Calvin Won "A Bet from

Little Rock Gazette
Old black Calvin, who worked on
the levee until he had acquired sufi
cient "larnin', - borrowed a lot of old
books and opened a law Office in Little
Rock. Yesterday he was standing on
the street Boosting of his requirements
when young Adolph Jackson, who has
just received a collegiate education,
approached and remarked
Uncle Calvin, why do you thus

ance2 | hold it., Uncle Calvin, that
the colOred race is one replete with
the smouldering fires of genius. Don't
heap ashes on the Goals which are
wont to glow and CLEAN with heaven

Calvin regarded the young man for
a moment, and said

The parties went to the Office. "Now,

OF Washington and Dover streets, for
friendly conversation. Alter a per.
sonal introduction to the gentlemen
present, the company retired to the
lecture hall, where Robert Treat
Paine, jr., in briefremarks introduced
Hon. Josiah Quincy, who, after "A few
words i'll relation to the cooperative
movements in Boston and the sur.
roundings, invited Mr.. Hughes to
speak of the English system and
its workings. This Mr.. Hughes did.
explaining the plans adopted in his
country, FIRST speaking of the
R0chdale plan of cooperative
stores, on which plan the greatest sue
cess had been achieved. This gives
the buyer a share of the earnings in
proportion to his purchases, dividends
being made at stated times, and thus,
while not competing in prices with
private stores, inducing him to buy
at the co operative stores, and, at the
end OF the quarter or halfyear, getting
a share Of the profit he had helped to
make. This had led TO self-denial and
thrift among the laboring classes.
which had been astonishing in its re-
suits. There were one thousand so
%cieties in England and Scotland
which were divided into districts, and
a mere nominal sum per member paid
all the expenses of the management
Of an immense wholesale store. from
which all purchased their supplies at
the same rate. A certain portion of the
profits OF these stores were devoted to
the establishment of reading rooms, ed
u%cational classes and seaside homes.
and these had also been a great sue
cess. The development Of co-operat-
i've manufactures wasspoken ofand the
advance in this direction was referred
to as having led many employers to
give a certain share of their profits to
their help, this having tended to make
the employees more reasonable in their
demands for wages. The tendency o.
trade, he said, was to get in 4 few
hands, and thus have the big fish eat
up the little ones; but now the little
fish make a stand from this very CO.
operative movement. He believed
that cooperation was the true devel-
opment of Christianity in the present
day, a contest between a religious
spirit and a trade spirit, and the latter
must be subdued to advance civiIiza.

hearty applause, and after a few re-

Nashville SUM-
1t is said by the high-tax organs
that the leaders ofthe low.tax party
are mere Office seekers. 1t is a silly
charge, and hardly worthy Of notice.
In truth, the people are moyingin this
matter without leaders. There is
scarcely a single mai advocating the
cause Of the people in this canvass
that cal properly be called a politi-
cal leader. But the same cannot
be said Of the railroad and bondhold-
ers' parties, headed respectively BY
Wright and Hawkins. Every old
political fossil, party hack and chronic
office seeker in the state are to b.
found in the ranks of those two par.
ties. The cohesive power that binds
them together is public plumber.
Their methods are discreditable
and their object is Office.
They have betrayed and plum
dered the people heretofore,
and they ask a new lease of power that
they may continue their nefarious
practices. The paramount question
at issue in this canvass, stripped of all
verbiage and clap-trap, is the liberty
Of the people. The people, en- masse,
are slow to move, but, thank heaven.
they have at last become aroused to
the dangers that environ them. They
have risen in their might and are de-.
termined to retire to the shades of
private life all those who have betray.
ed their confidence.
