The Aqe of Disfranchisement.—
TUtoJs emphatically the pge of dUffftnehin
ment, and the Radical Legislature of ,Teq* (
ncssee, acting iu full accord witl> tact
ical Congress ut Washington City, is well up
with the ago. It has passed an infamous
bill, by which . two-tb\rds of the vote/s of
West Tennessee have been disfranchised—
that is to swy, all who have borne arms
against the United States Government, or
Voluntarily aided, counselled, countenanced,
or encouraged in any way, the late rebel
lion : also, all, Who have held office under
the Confederate Government or State Gov>
eruments thereof, or given any money in
aid of said Government. It is thus that
the car of juggernaut roll* over the un
happy South, crushing beneath its mighty
weight every principle of justice, of right,
and of freedom, aye, even tho Constitution
itself. Thus it is that Brownlow, the By on-*
nisius of the West, triumphs in his moan
malignity, aud binds his State, hand and
foot, to Radicalism and injustice.
But, patience, people of Tennessee!
patienco people of the South! the day of
retribution must cotub at last. Tho good
sense, the sober second thought of tho
American people, will at- length awaken;
and when the lion shakes off his slnmbor,
and arouses himself in bis might, traitors,
disorganizers, tram piers upon Constitutional
liberty, may well tremble, for the day of
their'doom will have come. They will then
be crushed to atoms, and Liberty, guided
by reason aud justice, will resume its mild
and benignant sway over a once more peace
ful aud happy land. Until then, patience !

one of the finest and most successful pro
ductions of the State of Kentucky. Histo
rians have traced its genealogy as far back
as when Noah housed his family in tho ark.
After the flood, its ancestors were invaluable
to the human racd, as public benefactors—
having at one time furnished the children
of Israel with sustenance, enabling them to
make the perilous journey to the Red Sea.
Two members of tbo satno family fed an
army of Philistines, and furnished a suffi
cient quantity of leather to supply an Egyp- !
tian army with shoes. In after years the j
horns from one of these animals furnished
smoke stacks for the first steamboat that
plyed the Mississippi, and its bones wero
exhibited by Barnuin us the skeleton of a
Masterdom. The animal which will be ex
hibited to-day was raised by a Kentucky
farmer, considered a “lovely pet,” and there
fore received every attention, the princi
pal one, that of being “stall fed.” Being in
rather cm&arassed circumstances, pecuniary
considerations forced him to part with re
nowned “kph,” who has, for a number of
years, been considered tho “Prize steer

COTTON.
Our last Weekly Report, of Friday morning, May
4th, closed on a somewhat unsettled market, but
with a firm feeling on the part of holders, at 25 to
28c. for Middling to Good Middling.
A better feeling prevailed at the opening of the
present week, in consequence of more favorable
advices from the European markets, and on Monday
last, 7th instant, there M-ns a fair inquiry, and hold
ers realized about one-half cent advance on the
above quotations. Since Monday, however, up to
the present time df writing, there has not been so
much inquiry, the European udvices not proving
so favorable in their details as the impression first
conveyed, and our report closes on a dull market,
at about the same quotations as last, though more
defined and regular, viz.:

VVk Diuke the following extracts from
the Weekly Cotton Cii»«l» r of Win. Bryee i,
Cos., CottonJ Factore, ’29 Chambers street,
J>’ew York:
Aew York Man 4M, IS«7/-£loce our last
Circular, dated the 26th April, was issued,
wo have received Liverpool advices by tho
fjeotia to the Ist ult. The report of the
week shows an Irregular market, on whioh
was brought to bear the most depressing
innuonces j.yot an advance of a penny Ua a
penny and farthing over tbo extreme point
of depressioc was established and main
tained. The receipts of the week tfere enor
mous, amounting to 191,927 bales, of which
45,048 boles were American. 20,430 bales
of this description of cotton were taken to
the mills, more than fifty per cent, of the
week’s consumption, which amounted to
39,860 bales of all kinds. The stock has
run up to 819,890 bales of all descriptions,
of which but 830,060 bales are American, a
small percentage when the proportion of
this variety to the entire consumption be
considered. A most depressing combina
tion of circumstances weighed down on the
week; the Bullion in the Bank decreased
£345,006 —a feeling of distrust pervaded
the commercial community, and the failure
of Barned’s Banking Company, with liabili
ties to the amount of £3,350,000 served to
intensify rather than allay such feelings.
The Austro-Prussian difficulties kept assum
ing more and more the appearance of war
until late on the last day, when the happy
rumor was made current that it had been
agreed between the two Powers to mutually
disarm. The effect of this rumor was to
render the market more buoyant toward
the close, and we quote 14f pence for Mid
dling Uplands; Orleans a half penny dearer.
Our own market for the week has been
almost torpid. A wide discrepancy prevails
between the views of buyers and those of
sellers, and in our opinion we shall not have
an active market until the effect in Liver
pool be known of the news of our decreased
stock, diminishing receipts and discourag
ing advices from the South. The quota
tions we subjoin are reliable, and based on
actual sales and not on newspaper reports.
Middling Cottons are scarce and command
relatively higher prices than do the lower
grades. The speculative operators of onr
market have been industrious in their search
for lots pressed for sale at rates below those
current, and we have not observed as at all
abundant contracts for future delivery at
present prices, which for sometime past
have flooded our market, and kept spinners
supplied without their coming directly on
’Change. The general impression seems to
be that we are about “on the bottom,” unless
the Aifstro-Prussian affair should eventuate
io war, or some other, unlocked ior circum
stances happen. The offer has been made
by parties of abundant ability, to buy all
tho Middling Cotton in New York at 31c.
From the South our advices for tho week
are particularly discouraging, the bad seed
seem not confined to any particular section,
but from all parts come complaints on this
point. A severe storm passed over parts of
Carolina and Georgia during the past week
greatly damaging what young plants had
come up, and necessitating the re-sowing of
entire fields. L T nless the season be a very
long one, and the rest of it’ very favorable,
we think our estimate of 2,000,000 of bales
will scarcely be reached; and we do not
think it will be exceeded under auy circum
stances whatever. The unfortunate and
unsettled condition of our National affairs
is acting as more of a drawback on the
production of Cotton than is generally sup
posed. A feeling of distrust pervades the
South—a feeling incident to being governed
by laws in tho making of which she had no
hand —to paying taxes on which her opin
ion was never asked, nor her voice heard in
debate. These and similar anomalies in a
Republican form of Government deprive
men of that feeling of perfect security which
is indispensable to the successful prosecu
tion of every peaceful enterprise. Tho five
ceut tax on Cotton has not yet become a
law, and we sincerely trust that it will re
main a Bill before tho House till that House
becomes indeed the House of Representa
tives of the United States, and ceeses to be
the more political headquarters of a fanatic
faction. Taxation without representation
was in this country once declared a casus
belli, and remembering this, the existing
state of nffairs seems even more puzzling,
wl on 0!- • branch of the Govcrnmcntaccepts
taxes from States which another branch of
the Government declares not to exist as
such.
