The supreme tourt
Fruit} a perusal of the proceedings *f the Leg
islature, it seen that Mr. Gilo-oaiof War
ren, has introduced n bill to abolish thepupreme
Court, It will meet with many ad v lea tea in
both 11ranches of the General Assembly. We
trust that the bill may be defeated. Btjsl there
is a stroug popular sentiment against the Court,
which we heliwo will bo heightened by the re
cent electiou*. The Court should be re-organ
ixed and located at the capital. The Supreme
•fudges givon more time to promt inco their deuis
ions, and the Court will command the oonfidunee
rand resjsHJt of the people. This is what it most
needs. \V\ confess we are chagrined at the re
cent test for the qualification of a Judge by the
Legislature. It re a dangerous precedent. A
high minded Judge has bcou depised for a more
opinion in a ease. The charges wore made that
he was elected for this purpose—-presided in oases
where he was interested and of counsel, all of
which arc untrue and false, yet tho fiat goes forth
that ho must le decapitated. Henceforth, let
Jndgesofthc Supreme Court smell the popular
breeze from afar, as Job's war-horse the sumko of
battle, and govern thciusulves accordingly. There
is no need of such authorities us Chancellor Kent
and other*.

is called the “independent sovereignty” of the
A tats of Dade. A county almost hid behind the

but uouo the worst for intelligence, lie is the
wag of the lower branch of tho General Assem -
bly, and the announcement of his name by the
Speaker, as having possession of the floor, is fol
lowed by a storm of applause. For all this, he is
not without some gum, and frequently makes
capital hits. Horn in Buncombe District of
North Carolina, and coming from the sovereign
ty of Dade, he makes bold to say in his speeches
for his constituents, that he is not to ho out bun
cqniieti by any member. lie sometimes com
plains in being pronounced so frequently out ol‘
order, but his good nature overcome* all dispo
sition to grumble, anil a round of applause di
rects attention to him as be rises again to get tire
oor. He claims great, credit fbr having defeat
ed three candidates for the Legislature, while
other members held their seats by barely beuting j
a single competitor. In the Democratic caucus, ‘
he “pre-tumed,” >u his owu emphatic language,
that he would be heard in regard to the rules to j
govern it, us he had been on “nil sides of politics. •
even to the outside” and his experience wras i
worth something. The House could not get
along without Tatum. 110 is its very life and
soul, and many a dispotiding member, cheerless
and comfortless In view of tbo loss of a favorite ,
project, is made to sbuke his sides, when Tatum ■
rises. It is needless to say that he never fails in j
the passageof Aj bills. LUs e// te sßttytmctU* are i
worth a vote and it is freely given, even to the j
sacrifice of conscience and duty. All this is said i
without disparagement, to this Honorable Mem- j
ber, who, we trust, will ever represent his con- j
stituciiU as faithfully as now.

The Fair al Montgomery
Another return of this annual festival wsf j
h ailed yesterday in our sister city. With every i
successive year since its origin it has grown in ;
interest and importance, and bo# bills fair to
eclipse all of its Southern rivals, both in tho mer- j
it and variety of its exhibitions. Bimihir enter- j
prises in our own Btale has been conducted on
the reverse descending scale-—beginning well and j
fizzing out.
As many of our citizens, and Georgians from
other sections of the Btate, will visit Montgome
ry the present week, we lope they wifi catch
•some of the spirit of our neighbors, and, return
ing, dissent inate it among our own people. We j
have never before known an equal numb# o£our j
citizens, especially lad ice, visiting Montgomery
on a like occasion, and we know the character of
Alabamiaus for hospitality and gallantry too wolj j
to doubt that their visit will bo highly satisfac
tory. Columbus has certainly done ber part with j

Fain I and shocking spooling Affair.
This momlhg, one of the most painful cases of
shooting occurred which it has boon our duty to
record lately, and which has resulted in the death
of tho party, Lewis Jones, a young man aged
about twenty-one, and a clerk in tho General
Laud Office. The circumstances attending it, as
fur as we are enabled to learu, appear to boas
follows :
Young Jouefi wa* spending last evening with
some friends on Massachusetts avenue, and some
occasion presenting itselt ho found his pocket
book missing. Ho wrote u note to his mother, u
widow lady, who resides on the south side of
New York avenue, between tMh aud Itth streets.
The note was delivered, rand a reply made that
she would much prefer ho would eotue and get it
himself, as it seemed that she was a little fear
ful that he was intending to beabsuut that night
or to leave the city.
Not getting the pocket book, he returned to
his mother’s residence, where he was most kindly
admonished on being absent from home so much
j of his time, aud urgently persuaded to retnaiu
; more at home with his mother and sisters. After
J this friendly conference with his only parent he
i retired. This morning on appearing with the
i family, his mother again took him aside, and bc
| senched him kindly to be better tn future . to
| Uu\ u lima* vurafusimii who detained him from
his homo and to live more with his parent and
| sisters, and at tho same time throw tug her anus
around his neck and kissing him.
He apeared to heed her fora momeut, but with
! drew from her arms, and then suddenly drawing
a pistol, remarked i •*! have lived long enough,
I can’t stand thisor, “Mother, sec what l am
truing to do,” and, presenting the pistol tu his
; torebcad, fired. The ball entered about the ecu
; tre of'his iorohend, and ho sank almost lifeless
into his agonized parent's arms. The alarm was
| given, and the household was soon present, to-
I gather with tho neighbors and passers-hv. l’hys
I ic-iaus were immediately summoned, who probed
! the wound, hut could not find the ball. The
; wound was large and frightful, indeed, owing to
t the proximity of tho pistol to his bead. Ho ro
i mained insensible, writhing in the agonies of
i pain, until dmuh relieved him of his sufferings,
j This sad occurrence happened at about i) o’clock,
’ and he died at twenty minutes past 1 o’clock that
: afternoon.
This is not the first attempt be has made to
i commit suicide, he having taken au overdose of
! laudanum a short time since, but which failed in
j its object.
N estarday ho applied to a friend to ho his sec
| ond in a duel which he expected to take a part,
> caused, we believe, by a Jove affair.
! The deceased was very small for his age, and
! was tho son of the late George 11. Jouos, assis
tant secretary to the President to sign land pa
! rents. A, the death of his father he took his
’ place in the Land Office, and was the side up
port of his family.

An Appeal lor the Hupreinc ttourl.
j The members of the Legislature are not nn
j mindful of the fact that tho Supreme Court >0 an
1 unpopular institution with the people. That it is
: growing more *0 every day in nlso known, and
that now is tbe time to re-organis© it, or abolish
it altogether. Relieved of its itinerant ohnroo
; ter —its justly won title of orntdle bag* Court—
. the Judges given more time to pronounce their
decisions, and other le-ner changes made, the
! Court would be a monument to tbe wisdom of
j ihoraa who advocated it* organization. The fre
quent changes of the Judges impairs its usoful
-1 lies*, while the removal of a Judge for hi* mere
opinion in a case, is a precedent dangerous to be
j set, a blow at the independence of tho Judiciary,
and tho erection of a standard for the qualifieu
i ticaj of an officer destructive te> the rights of the
people, arid prejudicial to the ends of justice.
Were men intallible tbe rule would be a good one;
hut in view ot the wenkneiw of human nature, a
! correct version of the law*would be a matter of
i less moment than the effect of its enunciation
’ upon the popular oar. Passion and prejudice
; would turn the scales of justice a* quickly as the
i coat of tbo political trickster, and firmnesra and
I integrity, honesty of cunvkffion, and purity of
I purpose would yield before tbe despotism of pub
j lie opinion. Let us rally together to preserve
’ the Court. The emergency has arrived. The
! people expect to hear from their Representative*
! upon the subject. Will tbey not counsel together,
i and adopt a plan for lt re-organization. The
■ Judiciary Committees of the two Houses should
mature a bill at the earliest day. Will tbey do
j it, or abolish tho Court. ?

If thcro evor was a period when the South
might with cfcrtainty. calculate the furtherance us
of her peculiar interests, a*,id tho permanent estab

*o long been contending, that period is the pres

every reasonable desire. Our political opponents
at tlio South rare broken and divided. I’artisan
prejudices have grown and flourished among them
until they have dipt asunder the great trunk of
their strength. Now if ever, let the South unite,
and all will he well. For the first time, the lino
of domarkation is clearly drawn ut the North be
tween the conservators of the Constitution, and
the hiinded adherents of the ‘‘Higher Law.” At 1
the North, there will possibly bo the fiercest po
litical contest that that section of tho confederacy
has ever witnessed. With the South rests the
issue. The interest* of all parties South, arc too
nearly rallied for them to biekor on minor differ
ences, or admit in their action tho influence of

Sir ; If I could persuade my heart to become
as wicked as the hearts of Wm. 11. Seward, tier
rit Smith, Joshua if. Giddings, Wendell Phil
lips and company, I should wish that the plan
ters of the South could or would *upond the cul
tivation of cotton for but three bort years. I
mean cotton produced by negro tlure labor. Such
a wish would betray a bearttassm:** totally incom
patible with civilized bumaalty -aii appetite for
feasting upon human sufl'uriug beyond any of
which we read in the annals of civilized nations.
Suppose that New England, Old England and
France- were not to receive a bale of cotton, pro
duced by slave labor, for but three yerars, and
what would bo the condition of thousand* on
thousands of operative* who are now made come ]
lurtablo by their tabors in cotton factories, and j
have no other means of support? Tho mind j
sickens at tho thought of SUcfl astute of abject
poverty and suffering among those thousands on
thousands of operatives both in America and
Europe. But would the evil resulting from the
suspension of cotton planting stop with the
wretchedness it would bring upon the operatives
of the few .States of America and of Europe?
Let us examine but a little.
Without cotton to manulaoture into good* whrat
would become of the manufacturer* ? 01 what
use would they bo to their owners? Would they
not be dead property, not worth a cent, for tho
time; aud would not the distress extend to the
merchant whose principal trade is in eotfou
goods? And not, only to the merchant, but his
clerks, and through every class of people who
make up cotton goods for a living, and those who
purchase and wear them ?
But, suppose a total u*|>on*ion of cotton plan
ting in the South beyond the immediate wants of
the planters themselves, hew many largo fortniies
would rot down in tbo decay of cotton factories;
and where would •ivilizeil man find a substitute
for cotton good* ? Carry out the heartless fan at i
oism of Seward, Smith, (lidding*, Phillips A Cos.,
in the abolition of slavery in the Smith, and the
operatives of England, France and the free Htatcs
of America, the owners of manufactories, the
merchant, the fanner, and every class of people
who make use of cotton goods, would corse the
day that brought such heartless fanatic* into Hie
world !—fanatics who would tare tb® slave from
hi* master, by whom he l* fed and clothed, and
provided With a physician in sickness, in order to
bring abject poverty, such as tbe world has not
known, upon hundred* of thousand* of white peo
ple, whoso comfort depend* upon the manufacture
and use of cotton goods ! Have such mon souls ?

Horrible Affair.
It was with much regret that wo learned from
our young tow unman, P. p. Page, Esq., that his
father, who resides in Conecuh county, was way
laid and murdered by a highwayman on Friday
evening last, somewhere, it we mistake not. near
Claiborne, Ala. The oiremubstances, us detailed
to us, wore about a:j follows:
Mr. Page and a brother-in-law of his bad been
to market to dispose of their cotton, and on their
return home, finding that nn obstruction had been
placed in Jhy read, the latter got out of the hug
gv to remove it. Whil.-t he was engaged in do
ing this, someone. who was coioonlcd nearby,
fired upon !be old gentleman, who had kept Ills
scat iu the vehicle the contents us the gun
biking officet in bis breast. Hu is said to brave
expired iu a few moments. Subsequently, the
kinsman of Mr. Page was also tired upon, and se
verely, but perhaps not mortally, wounded, lie
succeeded in getting into the buggy, and, driving
at a rapid rate, soon reached a bouse some two
or three miles distant, w ith the body of the de
ceased still in the vehicle thus escaping front
the hands of the supposed highway robber.

The itcrent .iMdlrltil Klrrtloii
A correspondent of the Macon 7Vs hyrujih, writ
ing (rout Milledgevillo, indulges the following
pert nontand judioious reflections in reference to
the recent election for Judges of tho Supreme
Court before the Legislature :
“The scramble, It was a scramble for J udge of
the Supreme Court, has terminated in tho vice
lion of Richard F. Lyon of Dougherty, over
Jmlgo lienning. Judge Stephens was elected
without opposition, and I presume ho has justly
earned the compliment, as all sides seem to agree
that bis short judicial career has been eminently
successful.
Your readers, doubtless, know more of Judge
Lyon than your correspondent, hut it is due to
him as one u| the novi homines to state that his
friends and brethren of tlie bar, give him a high
character us u man and a lawyer, and they speak
confidently, of hi.-; capacity in all respects to per
form all tho duties of tho high and responsible
position to which ho has successfully aspired.-
Judge Banning gocaotfthe Bench ii victim of a
mania, and not a principle.
lfo was beaten not because ho was corrupt or
unlearned, or non compos, but because ho had
doubled case not in conformity wi'h the views
of J majority oft he people oi the State. In the
• artiest canvass which was made against him, I
did not for once hear his integrity a Judge or
gentleman impugned, but when ilio Bank ease
was!mentioned there was the rub.
His now considered the settled policy of Goor
gin.ltbat a Judge must m ver wistuko to decide
in flvor of the few versus the many, for If ho
dooi the many seek their vengeance.
I Very much fear that the workings of this rule
will hot strengthen the Court or contribute any
thing to its popularity, with the solidarity of tile
peoalo.
Will you not, Mr. Editor, raise the voice oj
warning against the future and manifold evils of
this present elective judiciary system.
L Is it not better that Judge should bo independ
ent of, than dependent on the caprice and pas
cions tf the people. Would it not be belter to
clear the Judge office of the mephitic exhalations
constantly coming up from the dirty pool of poli
tics? Is it not better that we should have Judg
es renowned for tlieir skill aud leu ruing, iu the
noble science of the Law, rather than to select
them for their zenl and ability ns partisans.--
Would it uut ho hotter for the welfare of the State
that the appointment of the Judges should be
placed beyond the roach and influence of political
ties and associations beyond and above the pen
etration of popular favor, and where from his high
judicial eminence he could aud would decide tho
popular lav or. Let’iis
have some change or our courts will soon become
the mere expositions of the voice of the strong
overpowering the weak.

lishert a pamphlet relative, to the authorship of
Washington's Farewell Address, tn wlitcti, Speck
mg of the original heads, or hints, or draft, as it
< Amo from Washington to Hamilton, he says:
These are golden truths, a treasure of political
wnjdom, experience, and foresight, which, from
the gravity of their tone, the depth of their sin
cerity, their simplicity, and the tenderness as well
ns the strength of the concern they manifest for
the whole people, make, in themselves, a “Fare
well Address,” as it were, from h dying father to
his children. And they are Washington's alone
without, suggestion by any body Madison,
Hamilton, or any other friend or adviser-drawn
from the depth -•! Washington's own heart; and
if the whole Farewell Address, as it now stands
n the record, were demon posed, and such parts
dispelled as were added to give the paper an en
trance into the minds of statesmen and legisla
tors, and to plum it among the permanent rules
of government, the great residuum would he

The time for tho Democratic party in this State
to assemble and appoint delegates to tho Charles
ton Convention has not yet been agreed upon by
(he Democratic Executive Committee. Without
dictating to tho committee, we are permitted to
make a few suggestions. In our judgment, tho
longer we postpone the assembling of the Conven
tion the hotter. At a late a day as is convenient
delegates appointed to roeeivo the sauc
ii iu of tbe people as to tbo beat man for the
Presidential raao. Tho middle of February would j
be soon enough. Besides tho idea of directly
representing the people in Convention, ihe dele- J
gates are far removed from the probability of
being influenced iu their selections for the State, i
Were the Democratic members of the Legislature I
to elect, the Charleston delegates, it would be nn ‘]
easy matter to bias tho judgments of many, in ,
favor of one or anotlieroaadidate.. Without blink- j
ing the question, aud addressing ourselves to tjyri|
honesty of all good democrats, would it be difqjj
cult to procure the vote ot a member in favor of j
a particular candidate, if iu return a consideration
would[be paid therefor iu the way of help for a
favorite project? Anew county, tor instance, in
which the member felt his reputation and his all
depended upon its passage ?
Have not many members of the Legislature tlieir J
price, when it comes to voting ? All this is said
without impeaching the Integrity of any member,
because the trade is considered bona Jide, without
ihe color of dishonesty and is regarded as the best
sort of wire working. But the main idea is that
(be delegates should corns fresh from the people,
and clothed with the duty ol electing delegates,
ami that duty alone. There are true men in the
Democratic ranks throughout (he Union, who
would rally the South. Hunter and Wise, of
Virginia, Stephens, Toombs and Cobb, of Geor
gia, Breekenridge, , of Kentucky, Davis and
Brown, of Mississippi, and others: while at the
North, Gen. Joe Lane, of Oregon, and Dickinson
of Now York, are the most popular. The .South
is entitled to the nominee, and she should demand
it at Charleston. If a Northern man is to be ta
ken, the press throughout the Month, point gener
ally to the Marion of the Mk\i< an War. ilia
past record shows that he is a man us steel and
true to the rights of all sections.
Capt. Ilrown only for a stumpaic.
Ossawattomie Brown, on being asked if he had
anything to say in mitigation of tho sentence
about to be pronounced upon him, solemnly de
clared that, he had no intention of getting up an
insurrection among tho negroos—that ho did not I
contemplate the murder otSmybody -that he did j
not intend to commit treason —and that his only
oh j cot was to get up stampedes of tho slaves in j
Virginia and Maryland, as lie had done in Kan
sas and Missouri. And yet, the Captain would!
carry along with him such innocent playthings, |
it? pikes ami Mhorpe’s rifles, and powder and balls.
This was rather troublosomu for these “martyrs 1
of liberty,” who only wanted to create a slam-j
pedo (!) The truth is, such weapons and muni
tions oi war ate seldom found iu the possession !
of those who do not intend to use them. It was |
paying dear for the whistle to go to so much cost !
to have pikes made suited to unskilled hands, and j
bulls moulded and powder bought just to engage
in tho very innocent diversion of making a slam- I
not to consider him a martyr, for ho was not go- *
ing to harm a hair of u person’s head, and only j
cut the wires down and murdered a few unsus- i
pec ting people after the fun began, contrary, to j
his original design and the main idea of his plot, j
That’s all.

He had with him a sermon from the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, in behalf of Ossa watt o
inio Brown, with sentiments of which he concur
red, and thought, of course, Capt. Brown, the in
surrectionist, a martyr to liberty. A Vigilance

cerning him. H* wae sent from the city, wc un

Dietary at a Homwpatblc Hospital.
To take a robin’s leg,
(Mind, the dmmstiek merely,)
Put it in a tub,
Filled up with water nearly,
Set. it out of doors,
In a place that’s shady,
Let it stand a week,
(Three days if fop a lady,)
Drop a spoonful of it
fu a five pail kettle,
Which may be made of tin,
Or any baser ipetal ;
Fill the kettle up,
Sit it on a boiling.
Strain the liquor well,
To prevent its oiling,
One atom add of salt,
For the thickening one rice kernel,
And use to light the fire,
“The Homeopathic Journal.”
Let tho liquor boil
Half an hour, no longer,
(If’tis for a man.
Os course you’l make it stronger.)
Should you now desire
That the soup be flavory,
Stir it onoc around.
With a stalk of savory.
When the broth i made,
Nothing can excel it;
Theu, three times a day,
Lot the patient smell it.
If he ©nano* to die.
Say ’twns nature did it;
If he ehanoe to live,
Give the soup tho credit.
Mts in Hours.—A discovery waa made yes
terday that created quite a sensation in the May
or's Court and along the Bay generally. Capt.
Goodwin received information, Saturday last,
which caused suspicion to rest upon a person who
has been living iu the city, “off and on,” for near
ly eighteen months, dressed as a female, that the
sox of the wearer was disguised. A medical ex
amination proved that his suspicions were cor
rect, ami Miss Annie Thomas alias Caroline Page
was discovered to boa man. Captain Goodwin
arrested him, and yesterday morning an examin
ation was bad before his Honor the Mayor, by
whom he wa* sentenced to ten days imprisonment
and his apparel ordered to he changed to that
suited to his sex. On hi* examination he stated
hi3 name to be Charles Williams. He converses
freely aud well, and with all of tho aetion and
delicate, toned voice of a woman. Ho is an ex
quisite counterfeit, and seems up to th© arts of
the sex, assume* the female admirably in hi*
in 'inner* aud deportment, wears her clothes grace
tully, and they are arranged with a certain de
gree of taste, wholly inconsistent with the habit*
ol males. He say* that Bordeaux is the place of
his nativity, and that his parents were French
and German. His acccut is slightly indicative of
his I rench education, and the genorul appeoram ®
“l his faee, while iu female apparel, is that of a
bold and dissipated woman. A* above remarked
he ha* been iu the city some eighteen months,
ami is well known by a large number of our citi
zen*. none of whom ever suspected the deception,
lie has boarded at the Pulaski House, City Hotel
and Screven House, but his money seemed to fail
aud when attacked bv sickness ho bad to go to
the City Hospital, where the attending physician
never entertained a suspicion of his sex. Os
late, he seems to have had no regular place of
abode, but. would wander over the city begging
loud of negroes and repairing to th© barraotts **it
night to sleep. Ho rouge* highly and pull* out
his beard, of which he has very little, with pin
cers. He appear* to be some twenty-eight year*
of age and asserts that he ha* dressed as a fe
male since he was ten year* old, nearly all tba
1 time. He come over iu the lust trip of the Gor
dou, from Charleston.— Sav. Republican 15 tk.
Tiff Rbmuious Pkkhk on Old Brown.—
Tho New York Ohsorver, organ of the Old School
Presbyterians, takes strong ground against par
doning Old Brown. Assuming that be waa guil
ty of murder and insurrection, it argue* as fol
lows : “Punishment in the government of God
irfatffff rifltt’flrlWl?'’ Love demauds that one
WHO lias made waT upon society sumi me. rm
l.iTiibropy, the love of mini, the love of the hu
man race, the love of the greatest number, re
quires that murderers be punished, as God, who
is love, ordained. * * * And we tremble less
in view of Brown’s mud freak, than we do in face
of the fact, liiat there is abroad in the land a
o ntinuMit that would shield him and others from
just consequence es their crimes. When
those men embarked in this war upon the State;
when they prepared guns for the white men and
a thousand spears for tho blacks to be used in
barbarous slaughter; when they imbrued their
hands in blood by taki'.g the first victim (an
honest colored man wbo made no resistance, but
was only seeking to escape from their hands,)
and murdering him in cold blood: when they
refused to lay down their arms after being over
powered, and continued their murderous work,
they threw away all claim to compassion aud put
t born selves on the hazard of the revolution they
bad begun, if others can find any cause for par
doning such crime we cannot.”
Alabama State Fair. — Yesterday, Tuesday,
was the first day. The entries on Monday had
boon to twice the amount, or more, than those of
the same day last year. On yesterday th© re
ceipts, perhaps, were not quite so large os on the
same day last your, but there were several causes
tbr it. The weather for weeks past has beeu os
dry as (be bottom of the Red Bea when the Isrtu
lites passed over it, and grorat clouds of dust have
so filiud the air that oue could hardly see ten pa
ce* from him. And on yesterday the West Point
train was about three hours behind time, bring
ing down from five to seven hundred persons, all
of whom would probably have visited the Fair
had they got iu in time, and had it not been for
the dust. Besides, there is a great deficiency of
hotel accommodation, and a great many have
ben deterred from coming in on that account.
We want at least one more large first rate hotel
here, and Montgomery will not be herself until
we get it.
Notwithstanding these drawbacks, the Fair on
yesterday- was a complete success. The exhibi
tion of articles was very full, ami generally, of a
sort superior to any thing ever seen in Mont
gomery. To-day, no doubt, the rooms will be
filled up, and all departments display a full as
sortment of everything. We therefore defer our
•peoiflootions until to morrow.— Mont. Mail.
Abolition Euishafueh. —Under this head the
Virginia (Fredericksburg)Democratic Recorder,
says:
W'e learn that several *©r%'ants in Culpepper,
have reported to their masters that they have
been approached by strangers with inducement*
to run :iwray. The people are exercising becom
ing vigdanco to ierret out these incendiaries.—
The truth is, we no longer have any use in Vir
ginia for the vagabond tourist or itinerant ped
dlers of unknown character who have heretofore
found rooourse among ua. And it become* our
citizen* to hold all such to account.
Kandko Cotton.—There is some danger of
going into extremes in regard to sanded cotton.
All cotton that is gathered after a rain, which
hangs low on the stalk, will contain some sand
that the giu will not take out. But this does not
properly come under the denomination of cotton
of which semuch complaint is justly made.
We heard yesterday of a lot of cotton selling
for thirteeu cent*, which wa* afterwards rejected
because it was sanded. Iu less than an hour af
terwards it was re sold to another party for fif
teen and a half cent*.
Some buyers seem to be absolutely frightened
at the idea of sand in cotton. It will not do to
carry this idea into extreme*.
