New YORK, Mar. 10.-That there has
been more or less nervousness over the pc
ltical situation in Brazil has been shown
for several days, in the active takings Of
spot coffee at the coffee exchange The
sharp decline in exchange on Saturday, and
its continued easy range had fret marked
effect upon the French markets In to day 3
opening dealings. Dispatches from
Havre showed that there was q
general desire to cover all OBJ
standing contracts and under The buying
pressure radical advance, or p francs was
made. The New York market started this
morning with radical feeling to buying,
and by the end OF the first call, the sales had
reached 24 900 bags. which was the largest
business in some months. Prices began ad-
vancing. and flally shot upward fully 80
to 65 polnts. The shorts here are covering
up contracts freely. There appears good
deal of alarm over the situation 10 the be
lief that shipments forward will be re-
stricted.

The State Debt
HICKORY grove. Malch

To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
send you this to see if the reasoning is logi-
cal, and if not to get come one to show the faacy
of it, The Supreme Court has decided that a
State can violate contract and thereby defraud
citizen and cause him the loss of money or prop
erty; the State itself being the sole judge of right
or wrong. Now all admit that if citizen refuses
to pay his taxes the State can sell his property.
The man who has coupons wishes to pay his taxes
with them The State says II now violate that
contract" and sells his property. He takes his
case before the Supreme Court, and / say that if
the COURTS consistent they must say they have no
jurisdiction, or their present decision is an ab.
sardity. Yours respectfully, GEO. B. TYLER.
