TEE resolution offered in the House Of
the Legislature last Friday by Hon. Josiah
NJ. Thompson, one Of our members, will be
found in the CITIZEN this week. 1t ex-
presses the feelings Of the Republicans Of
our county and is just the kind of censure
that. should have passed on Don Cameron.
But the Cameron henchmen were too nu-
merous. Mr.. Thompson however stuck to
it bravely and whom he again called it up
on Monday last it received the votes of 25
of the best members in the House.

with all vigor. Now is the time, and
through Congress is the shortest road to
that end The Legislatures of the several
States at tho same time could beacting, for
if the movement failed in Congress it can be

demning Blair county's Senator, John A.
Lemon, and Representatives A. P. Nc
Donald and A A. Slayer for voting for the
reelection of Donald Cameron at United

The Cotton Report.

Special to the Gazette
New ORLEANS, La, Nov. A.-Atwood,
Violet & Co. say:
F,utures-Fear of a falling off in receipts
is again the cause of better feeling every
where, and our market was advanced IL
points and is 1-l6c better on spots. Liver
pool opened better, lost the improve
ment and closed about the same
as last night, with sales of 5000 bales.
The advance here was partly caused by the
report of a prominent Memphis firm to be
issued tomorrow, showing for that dis
ner cent short of last year.
liverpool is expected to be better to-mor-
row but whether this market and New
York will further advance on the improve
ment there depends largely upon how much
short interest there is in the market
March being an active month here
we take that as basis 1t, at the close
here, was twenty-seven points a9oTe
middling. If middling cotton should be
worth on the 1st of March next SIS cents,
March cotton will sell here on the same day
at S cents To show what may be ex-
pected and how premiums are wiped
out. middling to-day was advanced
to 7.56, and yet December contracts closed
here at Isl, or 8 points over yesterday,
whereas February, March and later months
