ties Of upwards of 100000. has caused
much excitement in cotton circles abroad,
and numerous houses have already sue
climbed to the pressure upon them. The
forenoon cable announces the fall of Kel-

lowed quickly upon R. II. Farmon & Co.
and Hollinshead & Tettley, all foreign
cotton operators. Others are expected to
follow, and the cotton market is in a de-
pressed state at all points to-day in conse-
quence Of the financial troubles alluded
to. twill perhaps be several days before

days in jail for contempt Of court besides
paying fine Of fifty dollars; aud now he
is cited to appear again for publishing the
comments of other papers published in
different parts Of the State. The Judge
holds thst he has no personal or vindic-
tive feeling in the matter, which may or
may not be consistent with the fact that
he inflicted the full penalty of the law on
Harris This may have been necessary to
sustain the dignity ofthe court The Judge
takes the remarkable position that his
jurisdiction in the contempt line extends
all over the State, and that he has author
ity to cite any Arkanssw editor before
him guilty Of the offence If this view
holds it would follow that any paper in
the State, say the Osceola Times, for in
stance, copying an article from paper
published outside Of the State containing
the elements Of contempt might have to
answer before Judge Woods court al
Hot Springs. We do not remember any
thing so absurd and so utterly repugnant
to the idea Of free speech, and the rights
Of a free press, since the days when the
Boss Shepherd ring had Charles A. Dana
indicted in Washington by bribed jury
for something he had written in New
York and published in the Sun. There
was lunatic Judge in the District Of
Columbia who held that he had
jurisdiction for contempt and for libGl all
over the United States and actually tried
to have Dana arrested in New York and
brought to Washington City. But the
little judicial autocrat, whe had bigger
opinion Of himself and the Office he dis
graced than anybody else, failed
to impress himself upon the
It annals of jurisprudence, and
il would require d search into the files Of
the Sun to find even his name. He soon
passed out of sight and out of mind. He
was too big in tho office and
too small out of it to be
remembered very long Mr. Dana
still lives snd so does the Sun. The
Judge who imagnes that he is above and
beyond the Jurisdiction of fair criticism
will find sooner or later that there is
more terrible contempt than contempt of
court-it is the lasting, Gnal, irrevocable
contempt and disgust of the public.

saying that there was no man who ever

charged with no practical knowledge of

It was even said that his appointment was
alone due to the fact that he had slept in

of the fact that he has been able to over
come all prejudice and criticism, and to

OUR Uncle Samuel j. Tilden has about
finished his fine quarter Of million dollar
house at Grammercy Park, and il is un-
derstood that ss soon as the New York
State election is over he win give an old
fashioned house warming to some leading
Democratic friends. This is all right and
proper, and there are thousands of Demo-
crats in every State who would be proud
Of an invitation even il they could not at
tend. The old gentleman is wealthy and
fond of his friends, He is in some respects
the most distinguished private citizen Of
the country, and it might be supposed
that he could beallowed TO invite his chos-
en- friends to look through his new house
and to partake Of his hospitality without
starting the rumor that this Is a political
move, But it is anything for sensation
these days and some Of the papers see in
this house warming deep laid plan to
bring Mr. Tilden before the country again
and secure his nomination for the Presi-
dency. This idea, however, is in accord
with popular belief that the old ticket II
again placed in the field will be elected
and that there would be no mistake in
counting the electoral vote, But for tho
impression that Mr. Tilden is an aged man,
not physically vigorous enough to stand
the excitement of another Presidential
canvass and to discharge the duties
Of President he would have
a much more active sup
port. He has given no sign that he de-
sire1 the nomination, and some who have
enjoyed his confidence give assurance that
he has no further aspirations, and only
wishes TO live quiet, retired life. There
There is no reason TO doubt this oft-re
peated assertion, and il does seem that as
q matter Of personal respect and common
deconcy, the distinguished old gentleman
might call his friends together upon such
an occasion as this and have his social
pleasures without being suspected of po.
litical motives and plans,

SEVERAL ofthe country newspspers,and
especially those printed in the valley re-
gion. have within the past few weeks an
nounced an improved prospect in the
yield of cotton, and yet there are those
who don't like to sec it ventilated, would
like to keep it hid as it were, for fear
of depressing the market. If the
same persons could conceal or distort the
figures Of the cotton movement, heheavy
port receipts and the increasing stocks,
they might possibly help their cause but
they cannot hire this work done, therefore
must submit to fate. 1t is possible the
value of cotton may advance later on, and
it is to be hoped that a sharp advance may
ensue, for the planters all deserve a good
round price for their cotton, but this re-
suit cannot be realized until the
marketing movement slackens. That il
will be decreased at an early day is very
certain, but until it does, and until there
is more activity in the cotton traffic
abroad, there is very little chance for
material advanced in our leading staple,

LIVERPOOL, October 81, 1880 am.
The suspension Of Kellar & Fenton, cot
ton brokers, was announced this morning
at o clock Henry PeAree & Co, and
Joseph Taylor & Co., cotton brokerage
firms, have also suspended.
NOON. Tho market is laboring under
the effects of the recent failures, but fair
spot business Is doing. Business in futures,
thowever, is confined TO small dealings in
October and November deliveries, with
no dealings in distant months.
2P. M.-The excitement in the cotton
trade continues. The Cotton Exchange
is crowded with merchants, brokers and
visitors anxious for latest developments.
The tension in business circles is acute.
LONDON, October 3l.-The cotton fail
ures in Liverpool have depressed the
stock market here.
FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE UNDER
GROUND EXPLOSIONS.
LONDON, October 3l.-The excitement
over the explosions on the Underground
railway line last evening was very great.
A large number Of policemen, under
special inspectors, were on duty all night
at the various railway stations guarding
the line. A heavy force also watches the
houses Of Parliament and other public
buildings. The explosion at Charing
Gross occurred at a distance Of 200 yards
west of the station. There was no train
there at the time. The walls of the tun-
mel were battered. but the rails were not
misplaced. The windows in the station
were blown out, but the roof was not
damaged No person was hurt there. At
the Praed street station the force of the
explosion was terrific Although work
men have been busily engaged all night
removing the debris, they have not yet
finished their task, nor has the damage at
that place been repaired. The tunnel
there was not destroyed, but a deep hole
made in.the roadbed. The brick work was
blown out and gas pipes and telegraph
lines broken. The refreshment saloon
was wrecked, and the windows of ether
rooms in the station were smashed. The
explosion occurred Immediately under a
passing train, forty yards west OF the sta
ton. All the persons injured were in the
last two coaches Twenty-eight persons
were wounded and were taken to st.
Mary's hospital. -Four Of them were se-
riously hurt but they passed a favorable
night, and are expected TO recover. Others
were able to go to their homes during the
might. Both Of the explosions occurred
about s or 10 o'clock in the evening. All
the detectives and police are searching for
the perpetrators of the outrage, and the
railway officers are assisting them.
