will now notice the only reason
I have ever heard urged in favor OF
this law which is that 1t enables
farmers who are poor and own no
lands to obtain credit. There never
has been time in the history OF this
country when poor man, known
10 be houest and industrious, could
not get all the credit he needed, II
credit could be had at all. Such a
time we never will have. Ii so
men this law IS unnecessary to en-
able such OF our citizens to obtain
necessary credit, and hence must
be necessary only to enable the 10
dolent and rascally to obtain credit
As previously shown it is this class
who, under the operations OF TINS
law, imposing burdens upon their
brother farmers under the weight
Of which they can not prosper. Ii
il were repealed such conditions
wonld be brought about az would
encourage and stimulate. if not force
/ them to ameli)rate their habits and
morals But il ii was made unlawful
for deeds OF trust or mortgages 10 be
piven upon crops to be grown and
no farmer could get credit without
pladging lands as security all would
be benefited; in this event farmers
who own no lands would then have
to depend upon those who own the
lands they cultivate for supplies, &c.
! Our present credit system is a sys-
TEN under which we borrow money
through merchants 10 the form of
supplies, &c, at rates of interest
ranging IS high as 80 per cent. Ii
lands were mortgaged no such rates
would be paid, because the mer-
chants risk being so much less he
could afford to narrow down his
margin tor profit, and because the
lands would command money al
reasonable rates of interest. En-
gIish capitalists are now lending
money, through financial agents, to
cotton planters at s per cent. per
annum secured by mortgages on
lands. An agency for this purpose
has been established at Natcbez
and this could be done, no doubt
upon a more extensive scale by 8
CO operative effort on the part Of
land owners who might need capital
to operate their farms.
In conclusion | will say, | find &
great majority of farmers in oul
section are in favor of the repeal oil
this law, and | have yet to find the
merchant who is. This is substan-
'ieI evidence that it is a good law
to encourage merchandising, and Z
bad one to encourage agriculture
But to effectualiy estOp or destroy
the credit saytem, based upon this
law, more than its simple repca
would he necessary. Our Supreme
Court decided a few years ago that
under common law a lien upon 6
crop to be grown was valid and
binding, and therefore TO destroy
this system the taking of such lien:
would have to be prohibited by law
L the views | have presented arc
correct our present credit system Ii
rninous to the interests of our far
mers and ought to be Destroyed by
appropriate legislation; and if it Is
not it will be through the fault OF
the farmers of the State. 1t will be
because we will send men to the
Legislature who either do not un'
derstand our interest, or who be

the non-producing few at our eX

Remarks.

It will be observed that the receipts Of
cotton at ports are over 6I,ooo bales less
than same time last year, while in this city
the increase is 1900 bales.
Since last report, the market has de-
clined % on low middling and above.
l cannot say as to prices in November
and December. The receipts must be
heavy, and this fact may prevent an ad-
vance. T. ]. CARVER,

Irish ..Slnartness.-

The respect which the Irish have for
their priests does not prevent them from enjoying
joke at their expense. 1 remember hearing of an
instance OF poor girl going to priest to ask him
tounite her to the boy other choice The holy man
demanded two soYereigns Tor the accommodation.
The girl pleaded hard that she had not so much
money, but he was ineXoTable-two sovereiens he
must have.
She wasleaying the house in the greatest de-
spondeney, when her eye lighted on the priests
cloak hanging on a peg in the hall. A bright
thought occurred to her quick Irish mind; she
took it down and vanished. Half an hour later
she returned with the money, accompanied by her
beloved Pat. The priest was now all smiles per-
formed the service with great good will, and be-
slowed on the happy couple hearty blessing and
as they left the church, Kathleen dropped a cour-
tesy, thanked him for his kindness, aud presented
him with the pawn ticket that he might recover his
cloak.
The convenient manner in which priests mod
ny the penalties for ofenses is cxemplifed in the
following story: A poor man came to confession
and what he had TO tell was that he had stolen a
pig.
WAS it a good pig ?" inquired the parish priest
"Egad, your reverence, it wus an illigant era
tur"
Did 1t belong to rich man or TO poor one?"
Oh, very rich man, your reverence"
'Well, well, that makesa difference 1t is not of
much consequence; he could afford to lose it. You
need only say few Ave Marias' and 'Pater Nos
ters' for q week"
Thanks, your reverence; I'll do that"
"By the way, Pat,' said the priest as he was
going out, whom did the pig belong to-"
Belong to, did you say? Shure, didn't it belong
to your riverence?"
once asked somewhat intelligent and very
loquacious Irishman whether his countrymen
we're not thriftless
Every, SIR" he replied; Its becase they're a
Dawble- minded people, sir. They're above think
ing of thrifes. Shure, isn't it grand thing for
man W hen he's ATTN his breakfast not to know
whe re he'll go for dinner"-LOadon Societn

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The following observations the transactions In
the financial market yesterday, together with highest
lowest and closing stock quotations. furnished by
the banking house of H. d. Cooke, IT,, & Co., Ii92
street, Washington, D. c.:
Prices In the stock market to-day have varied &C
cording TO the reports received from Washington
the funding bill and certain other subjects which affect
the general financial condition of the country. The
nrst report current On Change this morning was that
the House had passed the three per cent funding bill
exactly as it came from the Senate. This created
panicky feeling, and stocks at the opening and shortly
thereafter looked weakened and dull Shortly after
this twas mored that the Secretary of the Treasury
had issued call for S. 900 fves and skies. Apph-
cation at the sub Treasury confirmed this ruor, the
following notice being found posted:
General Thomas Hiithouse. Assistant Treasurer:
. SIR: You viii please give notice in the usual way
bids for hyes or skies Of a. either chilled or
uncaled. JOHN SHERMAN, Sec'y Tress'y."
On this news the market advanced 1s@3k per cent.
Soon after this dispatches from Was hingten an
nouncng that President Hayes had vetoed the fund
ing bill Strange to say the receipt of this ntelli
genee the market declined A@T per cent, but soon
turned and advanced sharply z(92z per cent under
Large demand from covering shorts and outside par
ties who have held al0of until the funding bill ques-
ton should have been settled Now that this bone of
contention is laid aside for the time being what are
we to look for for criterion of prices in the near fu
ture? The only available barometer see is the
reports of earnings and expenditures of the various
press opinion one way or the other but merely to
lay such Information as We may obtain before the
public. The past winter has been Of unexcelled
severity since the winter of 1855. This fact has
caused greatly increased expenditure on the part Of
the railroads IN the maintenance of their roadwayS,
delivery of trains, &c On many roads this extra
has reduced the earnings so per cent Quite
a number of roads are Withholding their reports,
which fact is very significant and looks though
they did not have very encouraging for their
stockholders. These reports look disconraging for
bulls, but we do not wish to follow out the conciu
sions which might be inferred merely giving the facts
for what they worth. The veto of the funding bill
is very apt to " boom" prices in the near future.
Whether the unfavorable railroad tfnanciaD reports
will have their due effect the market in the ulti
mate future remains to be seen. Call loans to-day,
