ored "cuss" all the way from Bainbridge
Georgia, who was selected as the Treasur-
er Of squad Of colored hands, composed
of laborers from Alabama, Georgia and
Florida. This gang recently moved camp
to the vicinity Of Carroll Jones, and were
under charge Of Capt. Walthall. Last
Sunday morning Foby skipped out with

Several Of the parties started in pursuit
and were in this city last Sunday looking
for their man. 1t is supposed that he will
make his way to New Orleans via Alexan-

1t scarcely can be said that market
exists III this locality. The want of trans
portation and the suspension Of naviga-
ton closes the usual activity in the pur-
chase and shipment Of cotton.
Planters are busily employed in getting
the staple out Of the fields, the weather
being unusally favorable to picking.
Close inquiry reveals the fact that the
crops in this parish, viii average about
one-half the psual yield. Some planters
will make but little, others from one-lslf
upto . full crop. The latter however,
are few and far between. The cotton
gathered is Of good staple and very clean.
Prices range from 81 to 1oc. The total
receipts Of the new crop VI. to the present
date, are VI bales.

THE GENERAL LIST


The stock market to-day opened very quiet. and
the early dealings presented no features of interest
The manner of opening the transactions in ST. Paul
stock however was a special exception to the gon-
eral rule and therefore is worthy of mention. The
last price Of the stock yesterday was 110L To-
day there seemed To DO small army of brokers
with orders to buy vt. Paul at the open

possible. SO it was that while the gen.
eral market began ct prices. where changed.
In most instances lower than yesterdays closing
fgurcs the first sale of 81. Paul was at 11O@ or 4
per cent up, and was almost Immediately followed
by sales at Ill. After that the stock was dull at
about 1908 until change came over the whole
market at q late hour During the morning duh
ness prices were inclined 10 droop, and
Lake Shore sold down to 1904. North
west to 1913. Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western to 1919 Enc to 47at and other stocks
huctuated within L or Il per cent Of their frat
figures. There was. hswever, an exceptional move
msnt in the Northern PaciAcs that carried the price
of the common from 42's up TO 1884, and Of the pro
fsrred from 72ak to 75la About onehalf Of the ad-
vanoes however, was lost almost as quickly a. they
had been made and after that those stocks no longer

The dealings in State bonds covered an unusually
wide range of issues but tho Tennessees attracted
the principal attention and were dealt in to largo

Railroad bonds were dull. and generally there was
little or no change in prices. st. Paul consols how

THE REVISED TESTAMENT.

An Act OF Parliament Necessary to Author
ize the New Version.
From the London Law Journal
How the revised version of the New Tes-
lament is to be authorized, if at all, and
whether it is lawful for any clergymen to
use it without authorization, are questions
upon which doubts have been expressed
it is remarkable that, while the Acts of
Uniformity carefully provide for true YER
sions of the book of common prayer being
used, nothing is said of the version of the
Bible. The table of lessons prefixed to the
Prayer Book, has the authority of an act of
parliament; but it is only by inference
from that table that the authorized YER
sion" can be said to be authorized at oil.
The Bible, as printed. has on the title
page the statement that tits Appointed to
be read in churches;'' but by what author
ity it was so appointed does not appear.
It would, however, be quito inconsistent
with the scheme of the Acts Of Uniformity
to suppose that any private judgment was
intended to be allowed in reading the les
sons. The Table of Lessons must be taken
to refer to the Transitions of the Bible
which was 10 common use at the time the
Table became law, and with the chapters
and verses of which its references cores.
pond. It cannot refer to translation not
then in existance; and it must refer to some
definite translation, as otherwise the clergy
man might read his own version of the
first and second lesson. If, therefore. as
would appear to be the case, the version of
Bible as now in use is authorized by the
Acts OF Uniformity, an act OF Parliment is
necessary to authorize the revised
version. .

MIR. EDWARD ATKINSON his an article
in the International Review for July, on
What makes the rate of interest" treats of
the difficulty of finding profitable employ
ment for these surplus incomes, which so
many rich people experience and which is
daily pushing higher and higher the prices
of safe interest and dividend bearing &c.
curities. Mr.. Atkinson's view is that in
terest is low because Of the limited number
OF borrowers whom the owners Of capital
are willing to trust. Most of those whom
they would trust have capital of their own
and will not borrow, while those who want
to borrow will not, it is feared, be able to re-
pay when called on. Consequently, lenders
compete with one another in seeking oppor-
tunities to lend safely, and the rate Of in
terest goes steady down. If all our COM
mon laborers, especially in the southern
states, possessed more skill, and could d.
rect their labor more int lligently, there
would be quicker demand for all our CAPT.
tai. If all states we're free from repudi-
alton, their people would not suffer 70,
need of capital. It may follow that a very
low rate Of interest in country of such
unlimited possibilities as our own is not a
matter to boast Of overmuch, although it
may enable US to reduce the burden Of in.
tsrest on our debt. Such saving is but a
tride, and could we'll be spared if We could
safely and surely apply our means to the
more complete use Of our immense advan-
ages.
