THERE was panic in the st. Louis
cotton market yesterday, occasioned,
it is said, by failures in Dardanelle,
Ark, and Houston, Tex, and our
special states that a similar
feeling prevailed in New York. This
last is not true. There was and is no
occasion for panic in New York except
among the bulls who have stood by
their convictions too long. The Mem
phis market, as Bradstreet's weekly re.
view, elsewhere published, says, is in a
strongly intrenched condition, factors
being equal TO any emergency. tiias

The BILL for the restoration and retire
ment of FRI JOHN PORTER has finally
passed the senate and the man whose DISC
bedience of orders cost the country 30
dearly, and who was, after fair trial before
a court martial the members of which were
thoroughly conversant with all the details of
the matter, convicted of the treachery with
which he was charged the man who as Hon.
JOHN A. LOGAN stated a few days since in
his argument before the senate, would have
been shot for his crime had not Mr.. LINCOLN
said "For Gods sake don't require me TO
shoot democrat at this time" is now an
honorably retired officer of the army, with a
salary of $4,000 year for life. True the
president has not yet signed the bill but
he will do so, probably, before this article
shall be placed in type. The present admin
istration is more than willing. it is anxious
to reward those who gave aid and comfort
to armed rebellion, but when it comes to
granting few trihing pensions to disabled
soldiers of the Union, the presidential veto
is interposed at once. The motto of the
administration seems to be "No soldier
need apply"-that is, unless he wore the
gray and not the blue, or unless his acts
were in aid of rebels and traitors.

The Detroit Tribune in discussing the
temperance question, very pertinently asks,
Why not pledge the republican party, in
its platform, to the addition of a county
local option clause to the existing tax law?
1t adds, "Such a proposal will satisfy all
reasonable and practical men. In commu-
mites where public sentiment is strong
enough to insist upon it, the popular vote
would decree prohibition. Why should it
not have that right? In other localities,
where majority could not be obtained in
favor of prohibition, it is plain that no law
of that character could be enforced. In all
such cases, there would be left the tax law
to regulate and restrain. Such law pro-
viding for local option would relegate the
whole question to each county and leave it
to be determined by the people" We are
by no means sure that the plan suggested
by our esteemed contemporary is not the
wisest and most judicious plan that could
be adopted for the settlement of this matter
and for the practical advancement of the
temperance cause. II is not new and I'M
tried plan, but one which has been substan-
tally adopted in different states, and, so far
as we are informed has uniformly proved
successful. 1t certainly offers to the people
of any county where majority of the voters
may desire it, an opportunity for practical
prohibition while, at the same time, it would
leave the present statute to regulate the
business in counties where the temperance
sentiment is not such as to demand the
suppression of the traffic. Should it be
tried and work successfully and satisfactorily
in portion of the state, it would be pow
erful educator for other localities and might
eventually result in a general prohibition of
the traffic throughout the entire state.

ranked among the prominently great
men who have presided over the supreme
court of the United States, nevertheless he
was man of great ability, and his career
was distinguished and useful one. AS a
legislator he made no great mark, being
much better fitted, both by nature and edu-
cation, for judicial than for Legislative
Office. His resignation of his position on
the bench TO accept seat in the senate of
the United States has generally been re-
garded as changing the complexion of the
electoral commission that decided the great
Hayes Tilden contest of 1876, although it is
not probable that anybody knew at that
time, nor that they have since known, what
his convictions were upon that matter or
how he would have cast his vote. He was a
man of great honor and sterling integrity,
and no one has right to suppose he would
have acted in any way that did not accord
with his convictions of right and justice.
During its early history, Mr.. DAVIS was one
of the leaders of the republican party, but
latterly, as is well known, he has claimed to
occupy an independent position, and not to
be identified with either OF the great politi-
cal parties, although, during the last CAM
paign, he was an ardent supporter of Blaine
and Logan. Full of years, honored and
by his countrymen, he has gone
down to his grave, and the universal verdict
will be a truly good man has fallen.

The drift of popular sentiment in the
ranks of the republican party, seems to be
decidedly in favor of Hon. G. G. LUCE as can
didate for the Office of governor. The NORTH
ERNER is most decidedly of the opinion that
no better, stronger or more judicious nomina-
ton could be made. Mr.. LUCE is everywhere
recognized as a man of integrity and abil-
ity, and his sterling republicanism is unques-
toned. In addition to all this he is decidedly
popular, and especially so with the farming
community. The NoRTHERNKR would not
advocate the nomination of any man for an
Office simply because he is farmer, any
more than it would because he might happen
to be a carpenter, blacksmith or even a
newspaper man, but when man possesses,
like Mr.. LUCE, all the requisites to make
good officer, it would have the party avail
itself of his popularity, whether it should
arise from the fact that he belongs
to the great and honorable army of tllers of
the soil, or from any other cause. We know
Mr.. LUCE has declared he is not candidate
for the Office, and we do not believe he is in
the sense of being seeker for it. but he has
not said he would not accept the nomination
if it should be rendered to him. We think
that, in such a case, he could not consistently
decline, nor do we believe he would attempt
to do so. With Mr.. LUCE at the head of the
ticket and the other candidates selected with
equal discretion there would be no doubt
of a sweeping republican victory in Mich
igan.

The presidential veto of pension bills is
becoming monotonous. Perhaps it could not
be expected that man who, like Cleve-
land, never smelt gunpowder, unless it
was at Fourth of July celebration, and who
took exceeding good care to keep as far
away from rebel bullets as possible, should
have any great degree of sympathy for old
soldiers, or their widows and children And
then, let it not be forgotten that majority
of his political friends were on the other
side during the late unpleasantness.
