A BTHICT COXSTHUOTIOH Or TUB COUBTIT UTIOSI—A Jl IIOSKST ABO KCUBONICAL ADMINISTRATION OF TUB GOVERNMENT. Ragland & Wynne, Proprietors. COLUMBUS, GA„ TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1872. Volume XLIV. -No. 37 The Weekly Enquirer. JOHN 11. MARTIN..... Editor. COLUMBUS: THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 1872. for it i Kenton Boltini tion oi The Third Attempt of the “Straight*.” The tliiril attempt to “organize a bolt" from the Cincinnati ami Baltimore nomi nations will be made at Louisville to-day. Wo have hopes that the good sense of the majority will overrule any nomination and squelch Blanton Duncan and his mischief- making for good and all. One thing is evident: the bolting strength throughout the country is much less now than it was at the time of the assembling of the Balti more Convention. One after another of the most prominent of the then dissatis fied Democrats have since either accepted Greeley “as a choice of evils" or declared their opposition to a new nomination. Messrs. Voorheoa, Bayard, Black, Andrew Johnson, and others, who at first refused to accept Greeley, have siuce declared their acquiescence in the undeniable choice of the great mass of the Democratic party; and Messrs. Wise, Chappell, II. V. Johnson, and others who would not at first submit to the judgment of the major ity, now counsel an abandonment of the purpose of making another nomination. Indeed, if any prominent Democrat, other than Hon. A. 11. Stephens, Ktill favors a nomination at Louisville, wo cuuuot with confidence name the man. Under these circumstances, a persist ence in the project of making a now nom ination at Louisville can only be reasona bly ascribed to some outside iutlucnco; •ertain that the Democratic dis- roni tli<! actiou at Cincinnati and e, at fust entitled to considera- m ount of their position and servi ces in the party, if not because of their numbers, have since successively repudi ated the Louisville movement, until it is now diifieiilt to see any Democratic pro pelling power In it. Only the Radical party is looking with any satisfaction or hope to Louisville, in expectation of a new nomination. Only the Radical party can be betielilted by Hiioh a nomination, for the wildest and most crotchety poli tician in the country cunuot cherish the belief that the Louisville nominee can carry a single State in the Union. These facts are so apparent to all moil, that if a now nomination is made at Louisville, m one e:ui possibly misunderstand in whose intercut it is made, or tho object sought to bo accomplished by it. We hope for the defeat of any nomination; but should one be made, we have u stronger confidence that it will only arouso tho true Dei racy of the country to n greater exertion mid thus aid in awakening the spirit that must will the; great light iu November. A writer iu tho Cuthhert Appeal con tends that tho cotton plaut itself, i diseased stale, produces tho germ of the destroying worm. Ilia theory is that “it every object, whether nnimato or iuani mate, animal or vegetable, tho elomonts of its destruction exist in itsolf." thinks that “irregularity of tho seasons, want of work, allowed,, to got grassy, too docp plowing after tho cotton begins to fruit, or anything that will produce an unnaturnl or disuused growth iu tho cot ton, will cause a gummy substance to exude from the stalk, and that is tho first development of the cotton caterpillar. To avoid him, then, prevent as far ah possible uu|r diseased condition of the crop." This theory docs not contlict with the successive stages and “crops" of the cat erpillar, as observed by those who have studied its development. We think that wo have in mind souio fuels connected with tho ravages of the catorpillar that do not support this theory ; bnt our object now is not to discuss tho quostiou—only to present the conclusions of an evidently sensible writer. TIIE COLORED VOTE OK THE SOI Til. Wo think that there is now very good reason to believe that tho nomination of Greeley and Brown, and their acceptance by the Democratic party, have materially divided tho negro vote of the South.— That the large majority of the colored vote is still for Grant and Radicalism, is not denied; but what we mean is that a sufficient number of oolored men are taking sides for Greeley aud Brown to re duce sensibly the great majorities wbioh that rAco have heretofore been casting for the Radical candidates, and probably enough to affect results in many counties aud in several States. We soo evidences of this not only here at home, hut in the reports that roach us of the formation of Greeley and Brown colored clubs in other cities and towns of the South ; also in the numerous cards of colored tueu de claring for Greeley, which wo notice in our exchanges. A break has certainly been made iu tho serried colored Radical column, and tho “uewly enfranchised" are by no moans unanimous for Grant. This is nu important and a beneficial roHult of tho action of the Democratic party in accepting Greeley And Brown.— We uoed not horu dilate upon the evils to both classes of tho voting population of tho South of tho political antagonism of rucos. Tho nniuiositios and jealousies —not to Kay the daugers—that must be incidental to tho eontiunod array of all the whites of the South on oue sido in party contests, and all the negroes on the other Hide, are bo manifest that noue hut the Radical party could ho rockloss or un scrupulous enough to oncourngo it.— Such a condition is one of the greatest ovils that cun affiict any community ; it is a stniubliug-block to coufidonco aud friendly feeling, a fomeuter of distrust nud prejudice, und a standing meuaco to peace aud good order. It is a remarkable fact that tho most teliigent and respected of tho colored aro generally those who are taking their stand with tho whiten for Greeley aud this fact ntfordH an assurance thnl movement will progress with even more marked results tbun at presold.— Ignorance nud prcjudico may for u time mako a stout fight against intelligence aud progress, but must surely continually lose grouud aud haw to give way iu tin ond. Tho colored men who are now tak iug their stand with the whites for Groe ley nud Brown aro piouoers iu a groat moral movement that will prove of im mense advantage to their race aud to thoir section. They may have to oiicouu- tor abuse, and in some cases violence at first, hut time will vindicate the upright ness of their motives nud tho wisdom of their courso nud briug confusiou to their enemies who advise thorn to uu opposite course. Mr. G. C. Bancroft, of Cuthbort, in throwing a ball to tho first baseman, on Tuesday last, bad his arm broken by the jerk caused by tho not of throwing. The bouo was entirely broken about half-wny between the elbow aud tho shoulder. Col. J. H. Lowe and Wm. Fitzgerald aro tho Democratic candidates for the Legislature in Stewart county—nominated by a county convention held ou Saturday before lust. Tho Lumpkin Teleyraph reports tho Rale of soiuo new corn to merchants of its town, last week, nt 7.** cents per bushel; and adds that it is thought it will soon sell at AO cents. Tho Democrats of Atlanta voted on Saturday for the eloction of delegates to tho Nominating Convention of tho 5th Congressional District. Two tickets wore run—one favoring tho nomination of Col Glonn, tho othor for Mr. Candler. Tho highest candidate on tho Glenn ticket received 1,007 votes, and tho highest on tho Candler ticket (54(5 ; average majority for Col. Glenn 8C1. Two members of the Legislature re cently chosen iu North Carolina on Caldwell ticket, have already come out for Greeley. Tho total cotton receipts of Montgom cry, Ala., for the year ending the filst ult., were 53,211 bales, against 07,049 bale* the proviotis year. Stock on hand 1st inst., by actual count, 430 bales. The Montgomery Advertiser compiles late advices from all tho cotton growing States, furnished by exchanges, from which it nppenrs that the disasters to the crop have c-vciywhero curtailed it, and that “all the Southern Stateshaving fared •like there is no danger of large crops in other States depressing prices in this." The reason givon for Grant’s withhold' ing the pardon of the four “Ku-Klux' prisoners recommended for mercy by Whitely, was that ho received “official ad vices" from North Carolina protesting against it. And we are informed by North Caroline papers that about the time these “official advices" were sent to Washington, Gov. Coldwell pardoned four Radical thieves confined in the peni- tiary of that State. Of coarse these our votes are sure for Grant* Vermont. Tho Radicals liuvo again carried this State, us they have never once foiled to carry it by a huge majority over nineo tho Radicnl party was organized. Their ma jority now is variously stutod from 25,000 a full vote. In tho l'residon tial election of 18(58, on it full vote, it 32,122, as follows: Grant 44,113; Seymour 12,031. At tho Governtir's elec tion iu 1871, wlion tho vote was small,tho Radical majority was 21,309—tho Radical ticket having 33,307, und tho Democratic ticket 12,038. So it has boon fexfe* many yoarH, the Radicnl majority varying from JO,000 to 33,000, according to tho fullness of the vote. Tho vote being this year a full one, it appears that the DemocrntH and Liberals havo reduced the Radical majority of 1808 some five or six thou sand votes. This does not much affect tho Radical domination in Vermont, but tho sumo ratio of gain in other States would play tho mischief with Grant’i chaucos for re-election. Tho Radicals of tho 2d Cougrossional District have nominated R. H. Wbitely for ro-elcclion. Wo learn from the last number of tho Southern C'ulticutur—a good number, by tho wuy—that Mr. W. L.

II. Bluudford, in regard to the residence of the former at the time of his election to tho Senate from this, tho 24th Senato rial District. It will bo observed that Col. Thornton bases his citizenship iu Chattahoochee, hypothetically upon tho fact that his fami ly resided hero during part of ’G3-’G4 and ’Go. Now, wo would ask Col. Thornton if his family were not here daring his ab sence in the army, as refugees, or, for tho convenience of tho subsistence depart ment ? Did not Col. Thornton, iu or abont June, ’Go, remove his books and of fice fnruituro to Columbus, and did he not open his office tbero at that time ? At the tirno Col. Thornton was running for Seuator fur this District, did he not vote in Museoyce tor Representatives of Muscogee ? Wo are creditably informed that in the early part of ’Go, Col. Thornton was a can didute for Judge of this county, and was defeated by C'apt. E. G. Kaiford, one of the issues being that Col. Thornton was not a citizon of Chattahoochee. Follow citizens of Muscogee, let jus tice l>© done, aud if Chuttahoocheo county is entitled to tho tteuutoriul honors at this time, yield them to her. Chattahoochee.

I From n synopsis of the bill passed l>y I the Legislature at its last session, defin ing the terms of offico of the various State officials, as prepared by the Atlanta Sun, tho Macou Teleyraph makes this ab stract : Tho official term of the next Governor begius January' 1st, 1873, aud expires January 1st, 1877—of Senators elected at the ensuing eloction four years from Jan uary 1st, 1873—of Representatives two years from January 1st, 1873. The term of offico of the successor of the Supreme Court Judge appointed in 18G8, for four years, (, McCay) will begin January tho 1st, 1873, aud expires iu twelve years from that date. The term of office of the suc cessor of tho Judgo appointed in 18G8, for eight years, will begin January 1st, and coutiuuo twelve years. This is the place now held by Judge Montgom- Tho term of the successor of tho Chief Justice (Warner) will begin January 1st, 1881, and continue twelve years. Uoroaftor all judges of this court will bo uppoiuted for twelve years. The torins of tho successors of the Superior Court judges appointed iu 18G8, for four years, bogiu Juuuary 1st, 1873, and expire Jan uary 1st, 1881. The tortus of successors to Superior Court judges appointed in •8, for oight years, will begin January 1st, 1877, and expire January 1st, 1885. Hereafter all judges of this court will be appointed for eight years. The tenn of ‘ ice of successors to Solicitors General appointed in 18G8, for four years, will be gin January 1st, 1873, and oxpiro January 1st, 1877.

Other county officers elected tho same time will hold two years from Junuary 1st, 1873. Tho bill further provides that whenever the tonus of offico of JudgoH of the Su preme mid Superior courts shall oxpire they shall not be deemod to expire until the inauguration of a now elected Govern- •r, who shall bn empowered to make ap pointuicuts to fill tho expired terms.

The IIIIiioIm bmnt-llourUnii Plot, SrniNoiir.LD, III., Aug. 30.—Great ex ilement was created in this city to-day, in political circles, over the discovery of the fact that prominent Grniit Congres sional candidates and officials iu this State are managing mid sending delegates to the Blanton Duncan Louisville Conven tion. Tho whole correapoiidouco relating the movement in Illinois, iuoludiug letters from Blanton Duncan, Wilbur F. Storey, Major Will C. Moreau, and others >f that ilk, has been found, haviug been lost by Joseph Lodlio, the prime mover in this State of Grant’s Louisville side show. These letters prove beyond a doubt that Grant and his place-holders throughout the country lire running the convoution to be held ut LouiHvillo next woek. One from J. Daniels, of Chicago, to Lodlio, says: “If you havo blanks send Mr. Charles H. Home, of the Inter-Ocoau office, fifty, aud the hauio number to lion. B. Furwell." The suniu correspondent, mother letter can send fifty delegates if desired, and from the best ward-workers hero.” Daniels again writes: “Please send iny card to Gen. S. 1). At kins, postmaster at Freeport, 111. It will help you." N. C. Myers telegraphs to Lodlio to come to Chicugo, as certain par ties want to see him on inqiortuut busi ness. W. F. Story, of the Chieugo Times, writes to Lodliu, “If tho proposed Louis ville Convention shall he largely attended, and if duinpliools cun bo kept off it, and especially out of # tho load of it, it may bo of great service!" Other letters in this butch from the manipulators of tho Blan ton Duncan movement say that, if tho Louisville Convention is not a success as u means to dofont Greeley, its fricudH should voto for Grant. Annthor lottcr was found directed to Mr. Lodlio from a prominent Grant can didate in this city, in which Lodlio is di rected to call ou certain Grant Radicals iu SAiigamon county for assistance und information as to the proper persons for delegates to Louisville, stating that all ex penses will be paid. The whole tenor of nil tho letters shows conclusively that the entire Louisville Convention moveinont is managed for Grant and by Grant’s office holders and with Grant’s money, aided by unscrupulous knnves claiming to be Dem ocrats. Your correspondent haa exam ined all the letters, aud made tho extracts from them as abovo stated. Election Frauds.—A Washington cor respondent of tho New York Tribune, whom that pnpor vouches for and says ho held high offico under Lincoln, writes the Tribune giving tho details of a Grant plot to carry Indiana and Pennsylvania by the shipment of four or five thousand nogroes to those States, from Kentucky aud the District of Columbia. He says tho following facts in rolatiou to the North Caroliua eloction aro now established, to wit ; That tho steamer Vanderbilt was brought to Washington and her berths and best furnituro remov ed ; that on the 27th of July (the North Carolina electiou being the 1st of August) she was chartered by u colored man (con coaling his white employers) for a round trip to Norfolk and return, for $500, ho paying the money down ; that sho took on board seven hundred negroes, all —not a woman in the crowd—put off and did not return till the 4th of August; that the pretence was a religious meeting, bnt the absence of wotnou, and other facta, mado this pretence ridiculous ; those ne- 8 roes were all employes of the District Government, and were taken to North Carolina and voted. Charles Francis Adams and Horace Greeley were candidates for the Presiden tial nomination before the Cincinnati Convention. Mr. Grooley was the fortu nate competitor, receiving tho nomination after a sharp contest. Now, the report reaches ns tbat Mr. AdAtus says he “does not sympathize with the Greeley move ment, aud regards tho election of Grant as essential to the best interests of the country. ’’ Tho Courier-Journal, commenting on his reported position, says Mr. Adams did not consider that Grant’s re-election woud bo conducive to tho welfare of the country when ho wrote the letter whieh was published just beforo the Cincinnati Convention met, and wo confess our dis- appointment in him if he proves recalci trant aud goes over to the Radicals be* cause Greeley, instead of Adams, received tho nomination. Should ho prove him self capable of such littleness, we certain ly shall not regret that we were overruled in our first choice of a Presidential nomi nee. _ Ex-President Andrew Johnson on Sat urday night, at Naahville, announoed him self a candidate for Congress for the State at large—accepting what he termed the nomination tendered by the people. He promised to make an aotive and thorough oanvaaa, inviting his opponent to go with him. Gen. Frank Cheatham is the regu lar nominee, and game to the back-bone, so that we may expect live timea in our neighboring State. It is no affair of ours. We are in favor of State rights, and there fore willing that the people of Tennessee may aeleot their own RepreM*tattvea in Owgrtei.—ledger, i The Rice Crop. Tho crop of rieo grown iu 1871 was vory small, tho total amount pounded at our millM being about 14,200 casks. Tho storms of August 1871 did great damogo to the crop, aud mauy of our planters went down under tho pressure of their Iosros. ill bo remembered that thoro was considerable discussion iu Congress last wiuter as to the proprioty of continuing the tax on rico, inasmuch as tlio crop of this cereal had largely diminished sinco tho war, and mauy plantations that were formerly vory productive lmd boon entire ly abandoned. Tho ground of ninny of tho petitions for removal of tho tux was the fact that if it was retained it would seriously interfere with tho negroes in tho rico districts, who were entirely depend ent on it ns a moans of living. Wo reproduce the following statistics as to tho yield for ttvo years in the States of North and South Carolina and Geor gia, which may be of intcroBt to our read ers: Casks. 18(115 12,500 1808 !....! 30,795 1809 00,140 1870 07,735 As stated above, tho amount- pounded in this city reached about 14,200 casks. It is impossible, thus early, to givo the yield for tho three States for the past year but as soou as we receive the duto our renders shall bo informed of the result. Our information os to the now crop is of the most favorable nature, and if tho harvest soasou turns out to he n good one tho prospects are fair for the largest crop mado sinco tho war. Wo sincerely trust that tho rico planters will havo a favorable season, nnd thoir greatest anticipa tions bo roalizod.—Sarannah Advertiser. Tho lion. W. I*. Price, of Dahlonegn, writes ss follows to the editor of tho Gainesville Eagle, under the date of the 21st inst : Dear Sin : The North Goorgin Agricul tural College at Dahlonega lias, by an ar rangement between the trustees of Hint institution and tho trustees of the State University, lit Athens, become an integral purt of the State Agricultural and Mochau- lcsl College of Georgia. The details will be given to the public in a short time.— The Dahlouega institution will open in January. Tho arrangement is one every way ealculated to benefit both institutions, mid I am ploased to stale that tho most amicable feelings exist between the fiionds of Athens and Dahlonegn. I have tho honor to remain your obedi ent servunt, W. Pr Price. Johkpii E. Brown as a Farmer.—Gov. Brown owns soiuo very valuable land iu Cherokee county, which lie has cultivated to advantage ami mado quite profitable to himself before and since the war. He turned his attention to the cultivation of hay very soon after the war, ami last year his income from his hay crop alone was about $10,000. This year his wheat crop will yield him about $3000. Last winter and wiuter before hist we haw very large quantities of corn forage, (baled fodder and shucks) iu the market for civic, which was grown on his farm in Cherokee. Last year he planted Homo cotton and succeeded very well with it—ho well, in deod, that it puid handsomely. This year quito a number of bis neighbors lmvo followed his example, and for tho first tinio in that section a large amount of cotton is plnntcd. Wo fear ho 1ms set, and they have followed, a had example.— Atlanta Sun. Homicide in Buchanan.—Mr. Thomas Killgoro, was killed nt Buchanan, Haral son county, on tho 27th inst., by Sir. A. D. Wood, Ordinary of the county. The following aro the particulars ns givon t< us : There hud been some previous diffi culty between Killgoro uml Wood. Ou last Monday while Killgoro was out talk ing with Col. Jeff Head, Wood aud his son-in-law Gentry, went with double-bar rel shot guns aud sat on tho stops of Kill- gore’s grocery. As Killgoro was return ing with Col. Heud, Gentry snapped his g un at him, mid as Killgoro, was lowering is own gun, Wood bhot, bringing him to his kuoes, ami before lie could rise, Wood shot again, both shots taking effect iu the head and heart. Ho do id iu about three hours. Wood and Gentry wore arrested aud are now iu jail .—Home Courier, 3UL Tiik Hon. Thomas Haiidf.man at Gainesville.—There was a large Demo cratic meeting hold at Gainesville yester day, which was addressed by lion. Tims. Hardeman, of Mucon, in his usual able and happy style. Tho meeting was very enthusiastic, aud nearly unanimous for Greeley. Just as tho speaker was ascending the rostrum, u note was handed him request ing free dismission, and stating that O’Neal, of Lowndes—who now resides in Gainesville—would discuss political mat tors with him. Col. H. read tho note to the audienco, nnd suid that he was too old to he caught in that trap; ho had boon invited by the citizens to uddress them, and lmd no right to inflict upon them a speech from HUtih a source; lie knew that it was impossibl for O’Ncul to get a decent audienco any other wuy, and this was an effort to push himself into white society, lie must go among his own sort.. This created a tremendous applausi and O’Neal quietly disappeared.—Alla nt a Constitution, *1st. General Banks on the Main Ques tion.—Iu bis Into speech for Greeley nnd Brown at Lynn, Mass., General Banks ex pressed tho opinion that “tho administra tion party, with its loaders nnd its organi zation, will bo destroyed by this canvass, aud that a new party of wiser and hotter men will bo installed in their places;" that this will h&ppon even though Gener al Grant may bo ro-olocted; that lio can nover re-establish the power of that party of which he is tho head, because tho peo ple of all parties and all sections are wise enough to recogni/.o tho errors of tho pant, nnd come together to remove them and the consequences to themselves und the country. In other words, General Banks bolds the opinion that, who * General Grant is defouted or elected, tho corruptions of tbe party in powor will be checked by tho pressure! of public opinion upon Congress and the adminis tration, and that the administration party, aa now organized, will bo broken up and dispersed. Nor do we think that he is very wide of the mark in this opinion, in asmuch as the disintegration of the re publican party has already commenced. N. Y. Herald. “And if Greeley is elected,'' said Con greseiuan Roberts to a Herald writer, “as he doubtless will he, not his strength, hut his sensibility, will elect him—his pity, his raady apprehension of the orring, the wrecked, the recoverable. First in mer cy for the slave, first in mercy for tho ruined Houlh, limt merciful lor the strug gling Caban, the Irishman, the Ilnlisn, Greeley awakens feelings everuwbcrc, and, the more they harp on this weakness, tho more they strengthen him iu human nature."

Wo aro glad to see that tho people of New York aro bocoming awakened to tho enormity of making thoir jails tho recep tacles of Federal primnors, tried and con victed in a remote State, and, therefore, by what may bo termed a foreign juris diction. That there are eases coming bo- tho United States Courts which mo Federal character, and tborofore, proporly before them, we do not deny—ns, for instance, where murders or outrages perpetrated on tho high sons, cases of smuggling or piracy, crimes committed at Federal naval stations or military posts, mid over which the United Staten exer cise exclusive authority ; in short, all cu- hioh are iu their essence Federal, and not State, or local. For tho safe keeping aud duo punishment of all such offenders committed or convicted by a Federal Court sitting within any State, such State may consent to tho use of its prisons, or it may refuse to have anything to do with them, at its optiou. Whether the Southerners imprisoned ut the Albany penitentiary como properly within tin* category of those which the slut in law of Now York makes it imperative upon ils prison authorities to receive, wo now pro ceed to inquire. Section 1(5 of the No York statute relating to Prisons, Ac., d dares: “It shall ho tho duty of tho keeper of each couuty prison to receive into the prison every person duly committed thereto, for uuy utfouco against the United States, l»y any court or officer of tho United Slates, and to confine such poreon in tho prison until ho shall bo duly dis- hurged, tho United States supporting such person during his confinement. The provisions of this article relative to tho mode of coniiuing prisoners aud convicts hIiuII apply to all persons so committed by any court or officer of tho United States. ’ Blit by section 145 of tho sauio article it is provided that it shall ho the duty of tho respective keepers of ouch of tho county und State prisons to roccivo into tho s>iid pris und safely to keep therein, subject to displinu of such prison, any criminal i viclcdof any offence against the United States, sentenced tu he imprisoned the in by any court of tho United States, i ting within this State, until such sentence bo executed, or until such convict shall ho discharged by duo courso of law, the United States supporting such convict und puyiug tho expenses attendant upon tho oxecutiou of such sentence." By comparing these two sections of tho Now York Code, it will ho perceived that they furnish no warrant whatever to tin Federal authorities to demand that per sons convicted iu Federal courts, Kilting outside of the territorial limits of tin Stale of New York, skull bo received uml incarcerated in any of its State prisons. Section 145 obviously limits and re stricts tho operation aud effect of section 1(5. But ovou if it bo conceded thut it does not have this restrictive effect, nnd giving tho widest scope to tho geucral luugunge of socliou Hi— a scope aud moaning cortninly not contemplated by its frauiers—Federal prisoners committed or convicted by “any court or officer of the United States," can only lawfully bo con fined iu some ono of tho county prisons of Now York—not in ono of its State prisons or penitentiaries. Tho confine ment, therefore, of the Ku Klux prisoners from South Curoliua iu tho Albany Pei ' toutiary—which is a State institution— not authorized by tho existing law of Ne York, and wo venture to hope that situ tho subject has been brought publicly to tho Attoutiou of tho peoplo of New York, soiuo steps will bo tukon to test tho quostiou.—llaltimorc (/azette, Failuiikh of Cotton Mehchants in Liveiipool.—Tho Liverpool Shipping A Commercial Express of Saturday the 17th August says : During tho last fow days there has boon a good doAl of gossip afloat on the Liver pool Excliaiigo in connection with tho financial position of sovoral well known firms iu tuo cotton trado. At first tho re ports wero looked upon as rather prema ture, but yesterduy they eulmiusted in a positive fact. Iu couucctiou with the cotton trado, a gentleman, who is related by marriage with ono of tho most emi nent bauking firms iu England and Amer ica, and who is conuoctcd with an English nobleman, has absented himself from business, and it is stated thnl his deficits amount to about 4145,000. His wherea bouts is at present unknown, but it is stated that ho has gone on a tour to Swit zerland. The other two firms who have succumbed iu consequouco of rush specu lations in the importntiou of cotton, aro highly reiqiectahlo, but it is feared that iu consequence of their wide-spread connec tion, their atoppugo will cause other fail ures in the manufacturing districts, as tho cotton now lying to thoir order is, so far as money is concerned, something enor mous. Another firm, wbioh had boon doing a good inland business in tho cot ton trade, is, unfortunately for a largo number of clients, oxpected to “go" to day (Saturday.) The cotton trado is, however, not alone in its scandals. A gentleman connected with ono of tho most eminent legal firms in Liverpool, has boon absent for the last two days, and it is understood that he now resides iu Genova. A corn broker is also non est.

Au esteemed nud prominent citizen, who is iu full idUliutiou with the Southern opp uu.nls of Mr. Greeley, but who is nevertheless anxious to do the reform can didate justice, adcs us to define Mr. Gree ley’s altitude toward tho South nt tho cut- in euk of the war. Wo tuke pleasure in complying with so courteous a request, uml will do so by reproducing Mr. Gree ley’s own utterances. Aftor the electiou of Mr. Lincoln, the foieshndowed actiou of the cotton States was tukon. Secession began iu due and solemn form. The consequent excite ment in the North ran high, nnd the pub lic spirit cried out for summary proceed ings. So bitter and overwhelming was the feeling against the South, that /u was set down us a traitor to his country, who dared to counsel deliberation or delay. Ou the 9tli day of November, 18(50, two lays after Mr. Lincoln’s election, the fol lowing remarkable article appeared iu the New York Tribune, written by Horace Urcolcy : ‘Goino to (Jo.—The people of tho Uni ted States havo indicated, according to tho forms prescribed by the Constitution, their desire that Ahruknm Lincoln, of Il linois, shall be thoir next President, uml Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, their Yice- President. A very large plurality of the popular voto bus been cast for them, and u decided majority of Eloctois chosen, will undoubtedly voto for and elect i on the limt Wednesday iu December next. Tho electoral votes will be formal ly sealed up ami to warded to Washington, thole to bo opened and counted, oil u giv- duy in February next, in the presence ot both Houses ut Congress ; nnd it will then bo the duty of Mr. John C. Breckin ridge, us President of tho Senate, to de clare Lincoln and Hamlin duly elected President and Vice-President of these United States. iuuio people do not like this, ns is natural. Dogberry discovered, a good while ago, that ‘When two ride a horse, one must ude behind.' That is not generally dt oiued u preferable seat; but tlio rule remains unaffected by that iroumslauce. Wo know how to sympa thize with the defeated; for we remember ire felt, when Aduuis was defeated: und Clay, und Scott, und Fremont, it is decide illy pleasanter to bo on the winning side, especially when—as now—it happens ulso to Do on the riyht side. “Wo sympathize with the ulUictod : but wo cannot recommend them to do any thing desperate. What is the use? They aro beaten now ; they may triumph next lime: iu fact, they have generally h id their own way. li.ul they Imou subjected to tho discipline of adversity so oinm us wo have, tluy would probably boar it with more philosophy, and drp »rt thotusclvcs more befittingly. We live to lean, and Olio uf th<! most difficult acquirements in that of meeting reverses with graceful fortitude. “Jim telegraph informs ns that most of tho Cotton States aro meditating u with drawal from the Union, because of Lin coln's election. Very well: the}' have a ight to meditate,and meditation is a prof itable employment of leisure. We have a chronic, invincible disbelief in disun ion ns a remedy for either Northern or Southern grievances. Wo cannot see any necessary connection between the alleged disease and this ultia-hcroicreined}; still, we say, if any one sees lit to meditate dis union, let him do so unmolested. That was a huso utul hypocrite row that was onto raised, at S< >111110111 dictation, about the cars of John Quuicy Adauis, because he presented a petition for the dissolution of the Union. The petitioner had a right to mako tho request; it was the member's duty to present it. And now, if the Cot ton States consider tlm value of the Union detestable, wo maintain their perfect right to discuss it. Nay: wo held, with Jeffer son, to the inalienable right of communi ties to alter or abolish forms ol govern ment that havo become oppressive or in jurious : aud, if tho Cotton States shall decide I hut they cun do hotter out of the Union than iu it, wo insist on letting tln m go iu ponce, 'iho right to socedo may he a rovolutiouarp 0110,but it exists neverthe less; and we do not see how one putty call have a right to do what another party has a right to prevent. Wo mu-d over re sist tin* asserted right of uuy State to re main ill the Union, und nullify or defy the laws thereof; to withdraw from the Uiiiou is quite another mutter. And, whenever a considerable section of our Union shall deliberately resolve to go out, we .shall resist all ooereive measures de signed to keep it iu. We hopa never to live iu a republic, whereof one scctiou is pinned to the residue by buyout ts. “But, whilo uu thus uphold the pract i cal liberty, if not the abstract right, of se cession,wo must insist that the step ho la ken, if it over shall be, with the delibera tion und gravity befitting so momentous uu issue. Let ample tune be given lor re duction; let tho hunjeet be l'uiiy canvussed buiorc the people, and lot n popular vote lie taken in every case, betoie seeussiou is decreed. But, the people bo told just why they are Asked to break up the confedera tion; lei tie iu lmve both sides of the ques tion luily presented ; let them rolled, de liberate, then voto; und lot tho act of se cession ho the echo of 1.11 unmisluknhlo, popular fact. A judgment thus rendered, u tii-uiuud lor separation so backed, would either l>o acquiesced iu without the cliu- sion of blood, or those who rushed upon carnage to defy aud defeat it, would place themselves clearly in tho wrong. “Tho measures now being inaugurated iu the Colton Stutcs, with a view (appa rently) to secession, seem to us destitute of gravity and legitimate forco. They hear the unmistakable impress of haste*— of passion—of distrust of the popular judgment. They soeui clearly intended 10 precipitate the South iuto rebellion be foro the baselessness uf tho clumors which have misled and excited her, can be ascertained by tho grout hotly ut ln-r people. Wo trust thut they will be con fronted with calmness, with dignity, and with unwavering trust iu tho iuhorcut strength of the Union and the loyalty of the American poople." Mich wero Mr. Greeley's first words to his party and to ull parties, when it cost more thau wo can now appruciate to utter thorn. How far they wero wiso and how far prophetic, tho bloody interval enables tho uiunl ordinary miud to comprehend : und how reasonably they can bo ooustrued as bitterly or mildly hostile to the Southern States and people, it requires little fuir- ucsh to discover. Mr. Greeley was denounced by his par ty for his conciliatory expressions, and it is proposed to defeat him now for adher ing to tho principles thou und thoruiu af firmed. Whilo it is true that tho subsequent war with its bitterness aud animosities swept tho writer of that artielo into the popular current, let it not bo forgotleu that tho same writer was tho first to counsel re conciliation on the only enduring basis, when hostilities ceased. Wo do not urge Mr. Greeley upon our people because he is icil/i us in ull things that wo deem essential to a peaceful Na tionality, but because, as Frusideut of tho United States, he would bo incapable of misinterpreting our notions, afflicting os with unconstitutional aud arbitrary exac tions,or sanctioning tho outrageous abuse in the various departments of the Gov ernment ondor which wo groau without during to appeal. licit alhll.
