The order to suspend the exchange oil
silver certificates for gold coin or bullion is
expected to cause trouble when the cotton
crop Is paid Off The practice has been for
persons in New York who dispose of the
cotton crop for the planters to deposit gold
in the sub-treasury there, and upon notice
Of the fact Treasurer Giltlllan here would
authorize the sub-Treasurer at New Or
leans TO issue an equRl amount OF silver
certificates, which would bc used in pay
ing the expenses Of gathering tile
cotton crop. The demand for this
exchange has been very heavy for
three years past during this season
of the year. The demand begins early in
the autumn and continues until the early
part OF January. The only way for the
planter to get the certificates now Is to pay
the stof transporting the silver from New
YORK and depositing It with the sub-Treas.
urer OF New Orleans and receiving in return
the certificates. The Treasury cannot afford
relief by sending legal tender notes OF sill
yer certificates, because the notes are not
on hand In this condition Of affairs the
only recourse Is to pay the expressage upon
the notes or certificates from New York to
New Orleans, and this will be no small
item OF cost.

John Logan, not to say President Arthur,
have been notified Of the intention OF the

brief visit here neglected nobody. Though
Ottenest seer, as is his custom, supporting
the pillars Of the Riggs House lobby, or
blowing clouds OF smoke into the

the purpose Of starting Blaine boom, he
has succeeded In doing II, and no longer
does lingering doubt exist respecting Mr..
Blaine's purposes. Mr.. Foster has not
