AN INSULT TO THE SOUTH.

jackson News.
The selection OF General Robert Il.
Lee for one Of the positions in the hall
OF fame has set the partisan hounds OF
the north TO barking at great rate.
The New York Sun is particularly
mean in criticising the selection Of
General Lee. The comments Of that
paper are enough to make the blood
Of any true Southerner boil. The
younger generation in the South after
reading the TRADE, feel deep sorrow
that the Confederacy was beaten.
They feel like they are without
country and that it is alwayt to be
thrown up to them that their kins-
men were rebels in lighting for what
they believed was right. The war is
over and the Southern people NE will
ling to abide by the result, but it i'm
parts to them a spirit Of bitterness
when they read such denunciation OF
their chosen leaders, men whom the
world and history have accorded the
highest places OF iohrr
Do the people OF the North think
that it will promote good fellowship?
Do they imagine that the people Of
the South will submit without mur.
mur?
II the hall OF fame was designed for
Northern men only why was not the
fact announced at the start and no
Southerner would have been proposed.
The blackguarding OF the New York
Sun will take from Lee none of the
glory to which he Is justly entitled,
but it will stir within the breast of
every true Southern man a contempt
for that newspaper. which like the
jackal attacks its pray only after it Is
sure that IL is dead. and is in striking
contrast to the course pursued by the
papers OF the South, which have never
denounced these men IN the North
who followed their conscience and
fought for the preservation of the
Union. The Sun since Dana died
seem to he the willing tool OF any one
who will pay the price. That the
article denounciatory Of Lee was in
spired for political reasons there seems
no reason to doubt and the people Of
the South should shun the Sun like a
leper. 1t is unfit to come into any
Southern home.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Aug. 1o-After opening
steady with prices unchanged TO points
lower the cotton market became sensa-
| tionally active and developed most posi-
tive strength The fact that the local con-
on the theory of favorable crop conditions,
leading to heavy accumulation of short
accounts, put the market in shape for the
crop report announced on change at II
o'clock to-day. The excitement that fol-
lowed the official statement was intense
and exceptional. Prices ieaped and 10
points between transactions. The immedi-
ate effect of the report was to advance the
market 20d21 points. The advance from
the lowest prices TO the highest prices of
the day was a matter of 24029 points
Shorts were wild and there was an in
pour of buying orders, which contributed
to the days usual total of business, esti-
mated al the close TO million bales
There We're numerous intervals of violent
reaction under selling to secure profits;
but the undertone of the market remained
very firm. the trading having an eye to
the possibility of a Liverpool scare to-
morrow. Included in to-day's business
was a larger per centage of bull Specula
ton than has been seen here for a long
time past. Even the professional contin-
gent changed their tactics and operated
for higher prices. The market was finally
very steady in tone at a net advance of
14G22 points New England spinners who
have of late been rather pessimistic in
their talk, were buying the more remote
new crop deliveries.

Want One Like Drummer.

Tampa Times: The Times heartily in
dorses the suggestion made by a cores
pondent in to-day's issue that DIR. j. Y
Porter, at present state he alth officer be
employed by the CITY of Tampa as health
officer. No matter what salary he might
demand the people could well afford to
pay it. The losses sustained through the
p essen; scare alCne would raw him a
princely salary for many years. Savannah
was some time ago confronted by a sit
uation somewhat similar, and that city
employed the noted expert, DIR. w. F.
Drummer who was then located at Havana
agent of the marine hospital service.
He is paid a handsome salary, but the
Times is informed that the people of that
city unanimously regard him the best
inve stment that they have ever made
With Drummer on guard they feel abso-
lutely safe-and so would the people of
Tampa with DR.. Porter located here in
similar capacity.

seemed reasonable. August is critical
month for cotton. drought last year cut
thc crop down one million bales, and made
the total about 9,25O000 bales. According
to private advices. the crop now points
to about ten millions, but this is mere
guesswork as it is entirely 100 early to
make any estimate. We look for strong

New York, Aug. 10.-Hubbard Bros e.
Co. say: From Washington came the
surprise of the year in a bureau report of
70 against 75.s last season. For the past
five weeks the government, the Chronicle
aud the vast majority of abe private re-
ports indicated continuous Improvement
in the condition of the crop. on the pub
lection of the report, the market quickly
jumped some twenty points on the COW
ering of the remaining short interest, and
some buying for a further advance The
trade cannot reconcile the condition in the
reports issued by the government and
though feeling this report may bring out
side buying, are not certain in their con-
viction of a small crop. The report is ex-
pccted 40 attract decided buying in Liv-
erpooi tomorrow.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 10-Yesterday dead

relieved by one or two features in to-
days market. The strength in special
cases had a sympathetic effect in the mar
row general market and earlier weakness
was overcome, but the advance generally
stopped short at about last nights level.
The exception was Sugar, which ruled
above last nights level all day on opera
tons by recent bull managers in the
stock. There was no news to explain the
market but the stock became fairly active
