not be able to make ao much money, yet
he will not be in danger of loaiog to

I gregate of tolls paid for tho year 1870 ia

ly advanced to 20 cents for middling cot
ton in this market, aud lo 21 cents iu New
Vork.
More recent advices of tlio condiliou
of the plant have effected a material
change. The estimates of the preseut
crop being from fi to :lj milliou bales, fur
ther advance has beeu checked, aud pri
ces have gradually recoded to 17 cents for

Should tho above estimate of tho crop
prove to be correct, it will not be uo rea

The Situation—What Shall we Do?
We have read in some of our exchanges a
letter from Col. Winder P. Johnson, sou
of ex Gov. JiihUHoiA end a member elect
of the next Legislature, which C4*utaiiJH
very oetisible viewn in regard to tho proa
eut statu* uf political affairs.
To avoid quarreling among onraelve*
in regard to tho ao-osiled “now depart
ure," he says: i
“Let. the Vsllandigliam patty meet in J
convention, draft a platform und notui- i
uute a candidate for the Presidency. Wc j
will have nothing to do wifh their plat- I
form or convention, but will voto for the ,
nominee as a choice of evils.” * • • j
“Our trne position is one of sileuce
and inaction. We will not force uur
views upon those who claim lo be North
ern Democrats, nor will wo accept theirs; j
but we will joiu them in the fight against |
those who have planted the banner of
centralism within tbe sacred precincts of
State sovereignty. ’
This is precisely what we suggesieii to
Northern friends, during ourluie visit to
Washington, would be the bent course
for the Moutberu Dem»»eracy to adopt.—
They insist that we ought to be repre-
srn'ml iu the National Convention, but
beg that we studiously avoid aeuditig ex- I
trc-iue men aw delegates.
Oue thing ia very certain : There is no
sense in uuar ruling over tbia mitt ter iu
Georgia. It cannot affect tbe geueral re
sult oue iota—it cannot turn ono hair
black or vrhtte, or add one inch to the
Mtnture of any oue ; but it umy divide tha
party in Georgia, aud make it au easy
prey for Radicalism to gobble np !
Ry nil tueaua, then, let nn avoid quar-
rehug at home—preserve onr uuity aud
light the common enemy.

doned his in tout ion of caponing tbe fraud

but will do ho in a series of articlea, to ap
pear iu that journal. He says:
I he fact of my official connection with
the Government, familiarity with the per-
mous implicated, and with the details of
tuuuh of tha semi-official villainy, corrup
tion, fraud and favoritiam iu practice at
the na ion's capital, and of my o« n knowl
edge of the intriguing, unscrupulous and
dishoneat political deuMgognea who now
have the eoutrol of the Government, war
rant the Nnppo*ifii>u ih*t, if I aui pos
sessed of the abilities requisite, I have the
material tacts from which to give an ex
hibit which should initreat every lover of
his country, and iuduce him to demaud a
change of Government officials.
I am aware that such a course will bring
upon me a degree of personal vituperation.
1 intend to rumain at Washingtion, and
will not be less a Republican because of
this iJ-j«>*t, by which I desire to show the
public the style and practice of the politi
cal demagogues aud financial villains who
Imuu and are deairoua of continuing
thu coutr*>l of our nation'a polilica and fi
nances. 1 shall affix my name to all pa
pers emanating from mo, and will respond
only lo tbo.su who will show their hands
iu like manner.
My pH pern will open with tho establish-
mtdii slid proof, beyond aucceoaful eontio-
versy, of the gigaulio fraud ou tbe public
ami Government iu tbe artido uf Cuitcd
Staten bond's relating tu the redemption,
exchange, and lutereat thereou. 1 shall
endeavor to give thia subject (no little un
derstood,) such uu expose that the humbleat
min 1 ahull not fail to comprehend tbe cor
ruption and fraud by which tbe people or
the Government are swindled to the ex
tent of milhous of dollars annually.
During the progress of theso epistles to
the poojffe I shall expose the peculations
and mismanagement of the Priuting De
partment uf the Treasury, aa alao tbe
glaring frauds aud favoritiam in the paper
contracts of the Secretary of the Treasury,
iu the Mleciality uf what ia known aa the
fibre paper, and promise iu advauce rich
developments in that particular. Amony
tbe many matters I shall expose I intend
to give the history of the steamer Golden
Rule, which vessel was wrecked, pro-
medi’atedly, ou the lloncader Reefs, in
the Caribbean Sea, aud about three mil
lions of Government treasure was stolen
from tha Government safe on board.
Know as I do the parties who committed
the theft, I will show how one of these
parties became intimate with President
Grant (probably through Parisian outfit a
for ladien'), and that ultimately this mau's
name was actually sent to the United
States Senate for confirmation aa a high
official representative of our Government
si Paris. I will show bow and why said
nomination waa rejected, aud what high
dignitaries have druuk abundantly of the
Freuch wines presented to them aud pur
chased with the funds of the proceeds of
the robbery of tbe nation’s treasure on
board the Golden Rule.
1 shall continue these papers for the
benefit of all oouoerued, believing it ia to
tbe interest of the public to understand
the characters of tboee who rob and rule
them iu Washington.

au Executive order authorizing Blodgett

backed by a police force, entered aud

iu the meantime, had appointed Attorney

It ia uot generally kaowu, or if it ih»
the fact has struck dumb iusuy who talked
very boldly while there was a doubt, that
tLe Louisiana outrage—the uko of the
United Htatea court or custom bouse and
the employment uf Federal troopa to
fi erce the action of a locul parly conven
tion—has beeu lully and formally ac
knowledged am the net of the President
and his Cabinet. The avowal haa beeu
made in a formal aud at tbe same time,
as it aeemu to ua, in a nueaking way.
However it in done, aud we patou* to ace
what prt-oaeN ao accredited and indepentl-
eut aa the Tribune, the Poat, and tbe Na
tion will say now. The Tribuue the other
day an id with emphasi* :
••We have uo continuation of the in
tended removal by the Preaideut of the
New Orleans officers who have diagracisl
his appointment, it is a pity that ho
needful au ucl ahould be ao needlessly
ilelayed. The Prenident cannot afford to
accept any leaponaihilily for the ahamcful
conduct of Collector Casey, Marshal
Packard, and their associates. The Re
publican administration that Hustnins men
who nae United States troops nnd United
States custom houses for ahull lug out
Kepublicuu delegates or overawing a Re
publican convention is mad."
There will, we imagine, have to be n
coimuiasiou dclunuticu myuircntlo ngiuust
folks very high io poaithin— uo less than
a Preaideut and threo Cabinet mtuiotera.
We oay thut the avouching of this out
rage ia both formal and aueskiug. What
we mean ia this : It is formal aud official
because it appeara iu the columns of a
journal edited by a leading Federal office
holder—oue who had intlueuce enough Ua
extoit the «ffice he contemptuously
hi»Lls, anti to bid his master “halt" when
he ordered hiui. It ia sneaking, because,
after all, the organ in iiuesliou is iu no
sense a press of extensive circulation or
representative of a large and intelligent
comui"uity, but, being published in a
corner, gave uu ambidextrous chance of
not being noticed. This offi ial annunci
ation appears in the Philadelphia Preaa,
edited by the collector of that port. It in
formal and authoritative, aud ia to thia
effect: that tho delegates to a Republican
convention in Louisiana being about tu
meet the Federal offici-holders were de-
»irous to recommend the Grant renomi-
natiuu, and iu order to do so it became
neceaaary to make the nominating body
amenable to Federal influences, and, if
need be, to Federal coercion. If they
met in the building where convention*
were ordiuarily held thia would b# impos
sible. But the Federal building*—custom
house aud court house—were at hand,
and once there, the convention could bo
made to do what was needed. Coftey,
hriHher-iu-law and collector, hurried to
Loug Branch, made his representation*
and received his instruct ions. He waa to
return, get up a pluusibls erase ot popular
disturbance aud send word to hia employ
ers. Accordingly (we now quote irum

t*> much for the court or custom house;
now for the soldiers. When the regular
delegates, tha Kapnbbeau Governor at
their head, repaired tu the new place of
meeting, “deputy marshals"—we quote
ag.un—“forbade their entrance," and
“two companies of United Hutea infantry
waro despatched in order to interpose."—
And they did. There, with their loaded
muskets aud Gatling guns, atood tbe Fed
eral soldiery, and when tbe Governor,
himself a delegate, attempted to speak to
the assembled and excited multitude •
shoulder-strapped subordinate mlettered
and ordered sileuce. This, too, is adiuit-
ted to have beeu done by direct Execu ive
authority, bueh, then, is the esse. The
President of the Uuited States does all
this, <uid yet public justice sleeps. No
armed Federal soldier lias s right to pot
his foot nn the soil uf a State except ixx
transit or at the requeet of the State 4*u-
tlioritiea. The Governor cannot ask for
them exoept in the absence of the Legis
lature. Ywt here, in spite of tbe Goveriw
or, somebody despatches for troop* and
they are furnished, aud they do their
work and a convention of the proper com
plexion is secured. And this is formally
approved by the Presideut! Where, wh
ask in all sobriety, is all this to eud ? Tho
question for the Republican constituen
cies ot New Orleans waa. Shall the Presi
dent be reuomiusted and his acta ap
proved ? The majority waa opposed t<>
this. Then it is the President aud a frag
ment of hia vagabond Cabinet anthorize

employment of tbe Federal troopa, aud by
the bayonet tbe required act iou ia secured.
