Price of Moles and Cattle In Ken
tucky.
We have before os a copy of the Western Cit
izen, published at Paris, Bourbon county, Ken
tucky, which place is the largest horse, mule
and cattle market in the State, and from which
point is shipped a large proportion of the mules
and horses offered for sale in this and other
Southern towns.
The Citizen quotes two year old mules at $120
to $160; broke mules $150 to $212. One lot of
28 mules brought $140 10; sucklings $45 to $63.
Another lot of 21 head, two year old, Bold at
$180; yearlings as high as $05; broke mules,
from $300 to $475 per pair.
The cattle market is reported brink. Sold 12
steers, three year olds, $72 65; 52 head threes,
$72 ; 20 head $60 ; oxen $75 to $135; 24 head
two year olds $68 35 per head; 22 yearlings
$44 10. Good cattle sustain C cents; common
two year olds brought about 5 cents.
The shipments of stock from the Paris pens
for the week ending 4th instant, amounted to 77
car-loads.
The Oratnd Tournament.
It will l>o seen from a correspondence npon
our first page, that the State F/ur Tournament
promises to be a splendid exhibition, and we
have no doubt, in the eyes of youth and beauty,
will bo far distance Berkshire and Chester swine,
Durham bulls and improved implements of all
kinds, in the grand show, that hardly a thought
will be turned to the latter. Weil, we can’t
help it.
The Tennessee Senatorial Election begin*
to-day. Andy Johnson is in Nashville in force,
and will make a hard fight for the position. If
he falls he will die kicking and with his face to
the foo. The opposition to him, however, is
heavy. The Banner opens on him with a quo
tation from Juvenal and four solid columns of
invective, snperadded to a fusilade of squibs.
We will throw up our cap for Andy if ho knocks
them all over; for we believe he is an honest
man and will do good in the Senate Chamber.
However, this is a time when the ]>o*t naii get
the bettor of the old fogies all the time.
Came Back to Georgia.—One day last week
we met Mr. — Turner and his wife, who stated
they h‘id just returned from Illinois. They had
gone there from Columbus, where they had re
sided for years, to better their fortunes. They
could make more monoy they said, but the cold
was too violent—it had nearly frozen them—and
they had returned to Georgia to live And die,
where they could occasionally. draw warm
breaths.—C< >1V )n b u* Su n.
Real estate in Philadelphia, it is said, is
worth nothing like what it was two or three
years ago, and is still declining in value. There
are more houses than tenants, and brick and
lumber are so low that buildings built when
prices wero higher cannot competo with thoso
more recently erected. The many Southerners,
too, Vho during the rebellion took refuge in
Philadelphia have gone back to the South and
lert vacant dwellings behind them.

being considered egotistical—that we should
remind the Telegraph that the editors of this
paper are native Georgians— that they never
oondacted a Whig sheet—that they did not sell
out their property in this State, or any portion
of it daring the war and hide the proceeds nntil
the storm was over—that they did not withdraw
themselves from the public while the war was in
progress—that one of them served actively in
field from the beginning of the conflict to its
close, while the other, although in delicate
health, devoted his services, time and money to
the care ind attention of the sick and wounded
soldiers and in other departments of the Confed
erate Government—that they opposed, in 18G7,
the original Reconstruction Acts of Congress,
and have always, and at all times, defended, to
the utmost of their ability, the rights of the peo
ple of the State against the encroachments of
Radical power, while some persons were whining
for peace and “moderation"—that they have
never been required, by public sentiment, to
retire from the conduct of a paper because its
influence was against the true interests of the
South.
Undoubtedly the editors of the Chronicle and
Sentinel have been governed daring and since
the war by an honest purpose to serve Georgia
and the South to the best of their ability. We
have never questioned it—directly or indirectly
•—by any charge or insinuation ; and that paper
wanders very far from the record to make the
expression of a mere preference of our own judg
ment over its own in respect to a line of policy
which will best subserve the interests of the
South and the Democratic party, the excuse for
personal flings and insinuations like the forego-
ing.
They were not only uncalled for, but are un
founded in everything in which they are de
signed to bo injurious. Tho writer—one of the
editors of the Telegraph—is the only person
connected with the paper not bora in the South,
but has spent his wholo manhood here. It has
held him and all his goods and chattels—affec
tions and interests—for more than a generation.
He parted with no property and concealed none
daring tho war. In tho last year of the war a
physical malady compelled him to retiro from
the excitement and responsibility of editorial
life, but ho did not transfer his property in the
Telegraph nntil after the surrender. His
whole heart was in the success of the Confeder
ate struggle, as his wholo heart is now in the
effort to repair tho waste and desolation which
resulted from it, and make the best of our con
dition. We venture no comparison of our pub
lic services with those of our assailant, which
were meritorious and important; but only claim
that we did our best. And when the writer re
tired from tho Telegraph, he left it with a cir
culation and popularity altogether unrivaled in
Georgia at any time in her history.
It seems strange that the Chronicle and Sen
tinel and its editor in chief should attack any
body for tho crime of being whigs. The writer
was one of those who refused to be transferred
to Know-nothingism, and joined the democracy
against tho latter in 1854. He had much dis
tinguished company in Georgia in making that
trip, and regrets that the Chronicle and Senti
nel did not join tho “excursion** at that time.
Finally, wo agree with the Chroniclo when ho
SAys “tho public cares little for theso personal
matters” and our wonder is that he should in
troduce them. Why should ho perpetually im
pugn the motives and patriotism of the Tele
graph ? Are wo not entitled to fair construc
tion ? If our suggestions are ill-considered—
our reasoning feeble—if, as he says, we do a
good deal of it ichiuing' t instead of giving fair,
manly, honest and prudent counsel—the people
can see it just as well as tho Chronicle, and will
rate it at its true value. We suggest to our as
sailant, that he distrusts the good senso of the
peoplo when he manifests so much dread of the
power and influence of the Telegraph.
If tho people cannot see that we mean well
and think rightly, and give them reasonable
conclusions, tho Teleoraph will have little or
no influence. If they find us consulting our
personal whims, piques and animosities, instead
of tho reason in the case, and trying to divest
ourselves of all these blind and dangerous coun
sellors when we seek to advise them, they will
rightly reject all onr counsel as bastard—the
offspring of passion instead of judgment.
Let the Chroniclo liberalizo itself a little. Let
it learn to admit that differences of opinion can
exist without criminal intent or moral or mental
depravity. No man should expect to set up
himself or his notions as tho sole standard of all
moral, social and political truth and rectitude,
and denounce all mankind into conformity with
them. If he does, he will faiL He will some
times find himself in a minority of one. In our
judgment-, argument, persuasion, conciliation,
good temper, forbearance and toleration are far
more potent allies of political truth and party
success than all the whips that were ever twisted
by scorn and contempt.

Gone to Work.-—Our Charleston exchanges
state that the negro longshoremen, who rule the
roost in that city, and whose strikes and riotous
demonstrations have already been noticed, have
gone to work, a compromise having been effect
ed by which they agree to resume labor npon
certain stipulations therein stated, the most im
portant being that they receive $2 50 per day,
7 o'clock a. M. to 6 p. M., and 40 cents per hour
for work after time. They will not, however,
work along side green hands. We congratulate
the merchants and shippers, as much loss and
inconvenience has resulted from the strike of
these “skilled labor” darkies.
“Hold Your Cottqft.* 9
Such is the advice given to the planters by
most of the newspapers of the South. Whether
it be good or bad, we shall not pretend to say.
Perhaps it would be better in such cases to state
facts and leave the planter to decide for himself.
Without doing violence to this subject there are
some remarks which it may not be amiss to
make on tho subject.
The question may be viewed in a two-fold as
pect—of interest and of duty. The planter is
not always at liberty to decide tho point whether
he should sell or not according to his fancy or
judgment of the chances.
As regards the interest of the planter to sell,
as before stated, we prefer to leave him to de
termine the question for himself. We may say
though, that, as a general rule, it is safest and
best in the long run to sell as soon as the crop
is ready for market, without incurring expenses
of storage, insurance and loss of weight from
theft and natural causes. Experience has proved
this rule to be the best, though it is subject to
limitations, in cases, for instance, where it is
evident that combinations have been formed to
keep down the price ; and even then there are
risks. With prompt sales, the planter pays off
his debts, supplies the wants of his family and
farm without heavy cost in the way of interest
and advancements, preserves his credit and
feels at ease.
But it is on tho duty aspect of the question that
we feel at liberty to remark with more freedom,
as we can here advance an opinion and give ad
vice without incurring the risk of leading the
planter into error. When men owe money, and
it is due and needed by the creditor, and especi
ally where the debt has been contracted on the
faith of the crop, they are under a moral obliga
tion to sell, in justice to others, and it is not a mat
ter in which they can rightfully indulge a choice.
Esoecially is this the case when a remunerating
price can be obtained in this market, as at the
present time. The planter has no right to make
his factor or other creditor suffer when he can
sell his crop at a handsome profit just because
he thinks he can get more by waiting. Twenty-
five cents per pound affords a liberal margin af
ter the payment of all expenses, and when a plan
ter can get it, he has no excuse for asking the
indulgence of creditors. He should at least sell
enough to pay off his indebtedness, as a matter
of duty and good faith, and then should he feel
inclined to gamble on the remainder of his crop,
it is his own lookout and nobody else’s business.
These views, we think, are correct, and ad
dress themselves directly to the moral sense of
the planters. Let all act upon them as a rule,
and we shall bear but little of “hard times**
from a dead-lock in the cotton market—Savan
nah Republican.
Plainly, a man has no right to hold his crop at
the expense of his creditors. His paper should
be met at maturity, even if, in order to meet it,
he is compelled to sell cotton at unsatisfactory
prices. To hold it is to sacrifice “a good name,
which is better than riches,” and to speculate on
his creditor’s money and not his own. We have
never advised any man to hold his crop at such
a sacrifice of character and justice, because in
our judgment it would be a very suicidal as well
as wicked policy. He only who is ont of debt or
who can arrange with his creditors to postpone
their claims can honestly hold his cotton for a
rise.
Case of the Cuba*
WimixoTON, October 11.—The case of the Cuba
was opened tliia morning by Mr. G. H. Lowrey, of
New York, who appeared with Col. George Davis,
late Attorney General of the Confederate States,
and Judge O. P. Hears, of this city, for the Repub
lic of Cuba; by reading a commission of Commo
dore Higgins, as an officer of the CobanNavy, and also
formal protest by him against the exercise of juris
diction by the civil courts over his ship, she being a
public ship of war, of a recognized nation. After
stating the character of the vessel, Col. Higgins sol
emnly protests in the name and for tho honor of
Caba against any detention or interference with his
ship. The conclusion of tho protest is as foliowb :
And now having, for the dignity and honor of the
republic of Cuba, made & protest against tho exer
cise of & jurisdiction over public ships, unknown
among nations, and being willing and desirous to
have the truth known to all nations and persons,
and particularly tho citizens of tho United States,
and do declare it is certain that the said vessel has
not, in any of her preparations, offended against the
neutrality laws of the United States in the manner
changed, or in any other manner, and I aver that
tho said vessel is now m the eame condition in every
respect as when she was purchased from the Gov
ernment of tho United States in the month of Jane,
1869, except a few immaterial alterations, and not
relating to her character or uao as a war vessel, and
except farther that the said vessel, since the said
purchase and while out of tho limits of the United
States, and more than twenty days after the
departure therefrom and after wo had entered
a British port, and had been there seized by
the public authorities, examined and discharged,
and had cleared therefrom, and then, and not
till then, was she sold and delivered to tho
Republic of Cuba, and was fitted out and armed
upon the high seas and beyond the jurisdiction of
the United States and of all other nations; that all
tho proceedings aforesaid is far from being in dis
regard of the right and dignity of the United States;
wero in a careful and truo respect therefor, and
under tho sanction of well established principles of
public laws.
(Signed) Edward Higgins,
Commodore Cuban Navy, and Commander
of tho Cuban Steamship Cuba.
In order to allow the government time to produce
witnesses, tho United States Commissioner, Ruther
ford, continued the case till Saturday next, at 10)4
o’clock, a. it.
