Tt was evident after the close of the evidence that the Investigating com mute could not choose but And that Cheatham had acted against the policy of the association. In spite of the fact that but little apparent effort waa made by those members of the commit tee moat In the foreground to draw out damaging evidence, Mr. Cheatham's own admissions were sufficient, with out other evidence, to make a caaa against him. There were member* of the committee who said but little, but who listened quietly and seemed strongly Impressed by the evidence pro- sented. Whery-the committee returned to tha office fof Chairman Johnson, In the Empire building, at 8 o'clock it waa an nounced that the deliberations were over, and nothing remained but to pre pare the report.

"As to the btttsr attacks made by Mr. Jordan upon the contract market of this city and New York, and his evi dent desire to turn the American cot ton planters over to the tender merries of the foreign mill representatives, op erating through Liverpool and Havre, I am at a loss to understand, even admitting his honesty of purpose, the base Ingratitude he has displayed. For It Is a fact well known throughout the South, thut had It not hren for the active support of the Individual bars of the New Orleans cotton ex change and their contribution of some thing like 18,000 with which to pay the expenses of Its organization, the Southern Cotton Association would have had no present existence.

"To the New York exchange possi bly he does not owe so direct a debt of gratitude, but to Individual members of the Institution, he Is unquestionably under obligations since he has been received by the officers of that Institu tion with every mark of distinction and has accepted courtesies at the hands of prominent members that should cer tainly have precluded any such sub sequent denunciation* and charges as t(iose he has leveled at hie entertain- 'A year or more ago Mr. Jordan waa dating hla official correspondence from the cabin of Mr. Joe Headley's private yacht, and today we And him Indulging In unbridled billingsgate at the ex- E ense of a class of which hie then oat was a representative member.
