"Futura,, Punlshment.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 13.-Ths Cotton Ex-
change was the scene Of wild commotion
to-day, and genuine panic was narrowly
large; perhaps two-thirds Of the New
Orleans dealers are on that side of the
market. For a week past their losses
have been heavy owing to the rapid de-
cline of cotton, and the aggregate has
been enormous. The strain was too heavy
for number of houses, two of which
suspended last week, and others were only
saved from similar fate by slight re-
action on Friday.
THE BULLS CAUGHT MAPPING.
Very few were prepared for the news
that greeted them when the Exchange
opened this morning. As soon as it was
announced that there had been q heavy
decliae both in New York and Liverpool
the market became dsmoralized. At the
first call a decline Of twenty points was
recorded, and prices continued to 60 down
steadily thereafter.
PERFEcr FRENZY
seized the operators, and during almost
the entire day the scenes in and around
the future room of the Exchange fairly
rivaled pandemonium. Nothing like the
excitement has been known for many
months, perhaps never before. Soon after
the opening call the failure of Pryns &
Green was bulletined. This did not tend
To rsassurs the contsnding brokers, and
as IL was quickly followed by the suspen-
sions OF Lewis & Williams, Winchester
s. Quackenbush, J. A. LATTE, G.. L, Walker
and Williams, Pinckard & Co., the Ex-
change became still further demoralized,
and had not recovered its tone when the
closing hour arrived. The firms which
suspended were small, with three excep-
tions, and
THE AGGREoATE LIABILITIES
are not over $40, 900 on this days opera
lions, but since the break commenced il
has been enormous. When il was discov-
cred that so many houses were topping
over, with indications that other and lar
ger firms must follow and a general smash
up snsue, leading bear houses Joined with
the bull interests to maintain prices, but
houses continue to topple.

A Texas paper makes the singular state =
ment that there are more young men in
the penitenlaries in this country learning
trades than there are out side Of them,
and adds
"The principle cause of this is that we
are educating young men for gentlemen
trying to make lawyers, preachers, doc
tors and clerks out of material that ma
ture intended for acksmiths, bricklay-
ers, carpenters, tailors and honest hewers
Of wood and drawers of water.
1t is almost impossible to find q young
man who is willing to learn q trade. for
fear he will forget his dignity by doing a
little drudgery."

THERE ie q scheme before the Legisla-

in this state, and tue State endorse ell
the new bonds. The counties which owe
no railroad debts are, naturally enough
opposed to this scheme. The scheme,
however, provides that each county shall
pay its own debts-the State only stands
as security. and is thereby interested in
compelling the levy of special taxes to
pay the same. The sane bill failed 4
