ton. Although large import from
America is close at hand, they have
not chosen to wait for it, but have ev-
identity been guided by other consid-
erations. The cloth market has been
frmer, and orders are still received
from India, Notwithstanding the
heavy shipments of the past few
months, Tie demand here still
runs mostly on bright white
cotton of the better grades and on cot
ton with staple. Texas cotton Of the
new crop is IN much favor, partly ow-
ing to its improved staple as compar-
ed with the last crop and partly owing
to the absence Of supplies of Orleans
cotton; good and extra stapled Amer
ican of the better gradesis very scarce
and commands full prices. The grades
of ordinary and good ordinary Of good
color have been dearer this week, but
the lower qualities and all stained
cotton are still difficult of sale, even
at what seems low prices. There is
much speculationa as to the probable
extent Of the American crop, and
opinions vary from time to time. A
crop equal to the last would at the
moment be considered a fair, con-
servative estimate. The stock of cot
ton held by English spinners we now
estimate at $4,000 bales, against 7O,-
900 bales last year, and $1,000 bales
the year before at the same date. The
average receipts last year from Ameri-
ca between October 22d and Decem-
Der Sd were 68,S2O bales per week, or
4l2,92l bales during the six weeks
This added to the present stock of
$4,000 bales American would give
100000 bales. The receipts at Bonn
bay from January the 18th up to date
have been ,095,000 bales against 8l9,
600 last year, and shipments to Europe
$50, 600 bales agains96OO, ,OOOlast year.

I'D. LEDGER:-Tho comedy of er-
rors has resulted in a tragic way for
the democracy. The two great bodies
under false lcadcrships have met de-
feat, and republicanism in Tennessee
is gloating over its unexpected success.
Now, is it not evident that both bodies
had something right and something
wrong? TIE lamp of experience
should throw a light forward rather
than backward. The defeat will do
great good if we profit by it. The
great leading idea Of honesty on public
as we'll as private matters was the con-
trolling one in one body; and the right
Of a people to manage their own affairs
in the other. Now the masses in
each recognize the soundnoss of the
rroat controlling principle that aetu-
sted the other. But the leadership
was fatally defective. Let US look at
the state debt matter quietly and
soberly, forgetting the erimina-
tions and recriminations behind. The
peopls are for an honest and
fair adjustment and they wish Ito do
thus themselves.
Now, the two leading ideas Of the
masses Of the democracy are here in a
nutshell, The former they do not
wish to avoid, the latter cannot be
prevented. but" says the repqbli-
cans, you cant help yourselves. For
tunately VIC have a constitution. This
says, mo money shall be drawn from
the treasury, but in consequence Of
appropriations made by law" Master
this with its context. Then one legs
lataFe cannot encrOach upon the levy
ing power Of another, nor upon its
constitutional right of appropriation
| If Colonel Colyar's suit to test the
| legislative control over these matters
be based upon the correct idea Of the
| law and the constitution, then the re-
peal Of the third section Of the Fund
Ing Act of 1873 was absolutely void
and the question is at an end. But j
! it be erroneous, then no legislation o.
4 the eemiag term can bind the people
as a law Of the Medes ant
Persians. If they SGT apart pOr
ton in the hands of the treasurer
it only affects their own levy
lIf they make the coupons re
ceiyable iOf taxeg, the same resul
follows--the next legislature can re
peal it. No sacred contract idea car
override the constitution Of the state
This the legislature must obey. The
the mode is to make fair, honorable
and Just compromise, in theshape Of
constitutional amepdmant, be passe
by a majority of the coming body, an'
then by two-thirds of the next legis
iature under Sec. 3, Art NJ, Of th
constitution. This will satisfy eacl
: This will satisfy the masses. Tn! II
! will settle the matter forever. Thl
, will bring peace. And we see no wa

ean be forced to, and VIC see no wa

Of 995, ,3O6, of which 39l OIL are whites
and 6O4, ,235 are colorei. This is good
news to the readers Of republican
newspapers who have been taught that
most of the colored people in that
state were killed off years ago. As the

BAR ROOM BROIL,
And Its Fearful Conse-
quences.
A River Mate Stabbed Eight Times
by a Night Watchman.
Death for One and Prison Bars
for the other.
BAR BOON BROIL,

About two o'clock this morning
Captain Hackett Of the police, while
standing on the corner Of Main and
Adams streets, heard some one scream
ing in the direction of Washington
street, and repairing hastily to the
spot found a man lying in the gutter
on the corner of Main and Washing
ton, bleeding profusely. He lay only
few feet from the front door Of Joe
Emmerich's saloon. Conceiving the
idea that the man who did the
cutting might be in the saloon,
Captain Hackett gave the door few
vigorous kicks when it was opened by
Emmerich, who, however, seemed to
know nothing of the affair. He said
two men were fighting in the saloon
and he elected them, but knew neither
one Of them.
Placing their hands together, so as
to form a litter, six men conveyed the
wounded man to the station house,
when it was ascertained that his name
was Matt Reeves, a river mate recent
ly employed on the steamer, Katie
Hooper, in the Arkansas river trade.
DR.. King, of the board of health, was
summoned and made an examination
of his wounds, but could do him no
good. He had been stabbed eight
times with the large blade of a pocket
knife. -Four of the wounds were in
the back and four in front. The
most serious one was just under the
left nipple and penetrated several
inches. Death followed within half
an hour after he was taken to the sta
ton house.
Immediately after sending for DR..
King, Captain Hackett went back to
Emmerich's saloon, and Emmerich
then told him that the murderer was
watchman at the Southern Oil
Works, named Klink lie said one
ofthe combatants mad entered the
saloon a little before mi dnight and af-
ter drinking a little fell asleep on a
bench. When about to close up he
awoke the man and told him to leave.
Approaching the counter where the
other man stood, where remarks were
made which he did not remember
They then commenced to quarrel and
he put them out. They returned and
he put them out again,
when a fight occurred, during which
Reeves received his death wounds.
Failing to find Klink anywhere ia
the neighborhood, Captain Haekett
went to his residenceon Fifth street
near the turn table, where he founC
him asleep on the aoor and arrested
him.
| Kiink was searched at the station
house, but no weapon qf any kind wal
found. He did not deny killing
