ferred to tho Federal courts, whero they
are still pending. The Supreme Coart of
the State has never directly pasted upon
the question, we believe, but has inti-
mated a preference for the theory that
saloon-keeping is not a vested right, and
that property in liquors or liquor manufac
tories does not come within the doctrine of
protection which requires the owners there
of to be remunerated when it is taken or de
stroyed for tho publie good. In Illinois,
the Supreme Court has recently decided
that selling liquor is a common law right,
subject to such rules and restrictions ns the
State may see fit to impose—a view which
carries with it the idea that property of
that kind cannot bo taken or destroyed
without compensation under any circum
stances. The whole controversy turns
upon the character nnd extent of the police
power of a State. This power is undenia
bly a great one, but it is not supremo and
unconditional. It has its limitations; and
therein lies tho measure of doubt and of
difficulty.
“It seems strange that where we have had
so much temperance legislation and conten
tion, the question of the exact limit of the
police power in dealing with the liquor
traffic has never yet been carried to the Su
preme Court of the United States for final
determination. There can be no misgiving
a3 to what that court would say concerning
the right of a State to pass a prohibitory
1 »w of the utmost stringency. It recognized
such n right as long ago as 1S15, and has
confirmed it by several later decisions. A
State certainly may govern the liquor traffic
as it pleases, nnd prohibit it altogether un
der the severest penalties. Rut the conclu
sion does follow, by any means, that the
right to do this includes the right to de
stroy property without paying for it—or
that a brewery or a stock of liquors is not
property in the meaning of the constitu
tion. This important aspect of the prob
lem is still to be settled; and it bears n
very interesting and significant relation lo
the prohibition movement everywhere.
The Superior Court Iras said that the police
power nmy be legitimately so exercised os
to impair tho obligation of a contract—as
when a liquor-seller's license is terminated
by the passage of a prohibitory law; but
it carefully added, ‘We do not mean to
say that property actually in existence,
and in which the right cf the owner has
become vested, may ba taken for the pub
is* g'—H .I..,, compensation.' In
on analogous coso it held that ‘when vested
rights of property stand in the way of tho
public good they can be removed by
swarding compensation to tho owner;' hut
no bint was advanced that such rights may
be arbitrarily disregarded, even though tho
highest interests of society may thereby he
conserved and promoted. Taking tho whole
line of decisions in this connection, it seems
very probable shat when the Supremo Court
shall come to deal directly with the question
it will decide that where a prohibitory liquor
law is passed the owners of distilleries,
breweries and liquors on lmnd must ho paid
for their le-ses; and our prohibition friends
will do well to keep this contingency in
mind as they 'go marching on.'.
Cot (on Statement.
From tho Chronicle's cotton article of
December!, tho following facts are gathered
relative to the movement of the ctop for the
post week:
For the week ending this evening (De
cember 4), the total receipts have reached
242,700 boles, against 250,025 bales lost
walk, 270,421 bales the mevious week and
202,001 bales three weeks since, making the
total receipts since the first of September,
1885, 2,668,079 baios, against 2,781,751 baits
for the same period of 1884, showing a de
crease since September 1, 1885, of 113,072
bales.
The receipts of all tho interior towns for
the week have boen 207,000 hales. Last
year the receipts of tho same week wero
188,845 bales. The old interior stocks have
increased during the week 41,390 bales, and
are to-night 49,075 boles more than nt tho
sumo period last year. The receipts at tho
same tow ns havo been 3,993 bales more
than tho same week last year, and since
September 1 the receipts at all the towns
aro 278,612 boles more than for the same
time in 1884.
Among tho interior towns, the receipts nt
Macon for the week have been 2,530 bales.
Last year tho receipts for the week were
2,061 bales. These figures show a (increase
for the week of 469 hales.
The totai receipts from the plnutatioi s
since September 1, 1885, are 3,034,856
bales; in 1884 were 3,080,555 bales; in 1883
were 3,023,089 boles.
Although the roccipts at the outports the
past week were 242,797 bales, the actual
movement from plantations was 285,019
bales, tlie balance going to increase the
stocks at tho interior towns. Last year the
receipts from the plantations for the same
week were 325,186 bales, and for 1883 they
were 277,307 hales.
The imports into continental ports this
week knvo been 51,000 bales.
The figures indicate a decrease in tho
cotton in sight to-night of 244,242 bales os
compared with the samo date of 1834, a de
crease of 388,298 bales as compared with
tho corresponding date of 1883, and a
decrease of 66,612 bales as compared with
1882.
The Chronicle has tho following to say of
tho market fluctuations for the week under

The Nut-cession
Is settled, so far as John Logan is cot-
corned. Within the last few days his a< -
mirers have dubbed him (‘The Man of Des
tiny, ” and bis phenomenal luck wouldseem
to give him seine claim to the title.
Tho fact that he dealines tho unanimous
nomination of his party, shows that ho bns
something better in view. The public is
not specially interested in this. That his
party closed up its tines, acted with har
rnony and presented an nnhrokon front, is
something to he rogardod. Defeat has noq
demoralized the Republicans, and it any
poiata can be gained during the coming ses
sion of Congress, they will strive for them
with greet unanimity.
The action of the Senato in Logan’s case
and his own ooudnetin declining, looks to
the election of Edmunds. Sherman will
prefer to be upon the floor of the Senate,
whero he can compete with Logan in the
leadership. If, as has been alleged, Mr.
Blaine managed that abort and brilliant
canvass for Logan, ho would seem lo
h ive lost none of hia power or prestige.
The Democrats of tho House may do
themselves, the party and the couuty great
damage by'factional wrangling*. They
have much to gain by harmonious and
united notion.
The speculation in cotton for future delivery ut
this market has been only moderately active fur the
week under revlew.snd price*bare generally ahown
a downward tendency, although tho dedlnea have
not on any day been Important Advices from
Liverpool and Manchester have been quite unsatis
factory, Indicating a movement wholly unequal to
tho disposal of the Increased yield which U to bo-
lleved » yet to come forward. The bean, however,
were timid sellers, and tbo yielding at values was
due mainly to the absence ot buyers to toko ouch
quantities aa were offered by the bulls who
wlsbod to close out tbetr recent purchase*, for the
rise. The partial recovery which took place on
VVodneaday waa of no apecial significance. To-day
there was an advance of a few points on abetter re
port from Liverpool and the continued compara
tively small receipt* at the ports, but u renewal.of
the war-cloud In Europe, weak Manchester reports
and advices of a probable large Increase in the East
India crop, caused a decline In the closing hour.
Cutton on the spot was quiet and unchanged. There
wv ut times u fair spinning demand, but other
branches of tho triads were dull. A scarcity of high
grades begins to be mentioned. To-day the market
waa quiet and unebangud at 9 7,tCo for middling
uplands.

paper on “The Economy of Vice uud Crime,"

ways of destroying tho weak and interior,
and altohougli some who solid this road are

I rohibltl-m nnd Constitutional Law.
The 81. Louis Globe-Democrat, in uoting
tbe constitutional objections urged by the
whisky men of Atlanta against the enforce
ment of the law whioh would become oper
ative if the result of the late election were
announced, present* this summary:
“Similar cases have arisen under like
circumstances in other localities, and the
questions involved have been decided both
ways hy Elate courts and by the minor fed
eral tribunals. The Supreme Court of
K mass has held that the ntau who engages
iu the manufacture and sole of liquors does
at his own risk as to the future pessage
of prohibitory liquor laws, aud so cannot
maintain a auit for damages when an in
vestment of that kind is tbns destroyed.
In other words, the position was taken,
►ilwtantlally, that auch property may be
sacrificed at any time by tho law-making
I elver for moral purpoeee and in
the Interest of social order and welfare. A
dissenting opinion wes rendered in this
cose by Justice Brewer, now tho United
fitiitea Circuit Judge of title district, iu
which it was tugued that while the State
had aa undoubted right to pass lawn for
th“ suppression of the liquor business iu
all forms, it was bound at the same time to
make compensation for the property ren
dered valueless by such Initiation; and the
some view hat ban token by the United
State* Distri -t court in that State.

As to the Uuttinwn Affair.
Quitman, December 2.—Editor Tf.i.e-
orapu: Un returning nfter a brief absence
from town, my attention was culled to tho
article in your isauc of November 26th,
copied from the Ohio State Journal. It
seems the proverbial printer's office boy has
tuodu havoc with facts whero there could be
no motive for misstutemeut—as in the name
of tbe principal nnd in the number of
teachers lu the school whoso building was
burned.
No other vindication of n community can
be so strong tut tho char ictir of the people
themselves. In tho unfortunate matter of
the burning of the negro school building,
certainly nothing can speak moro clearly
for the best people of Quitman than the
resolutions p rased in formal publia meet
ing, and the rewards offered for the detec
tion and convict oa of the orimins's a tie. s
it lie tlie just and rigorous pumsbmout of
the guilty.
As for myself, no mob was about my
botue at any time, and if my lifo wits in
.longer because uf iuviting tho teachers to
my house, 1 did not theu know it, nor do 1
now betisve it.
While, I urn informed, severe remarks
were made by n few, .the best citizens com
imuttlcd the net h* urtiiy.
The lutly teachers wen much frightened,
fearing personal iluager for themselves uud
lor me. They undoubtedly, aud perhaps
naturally, interpreted tbe words and ucts ot
tl.u lew uml the worst us voicing the senti
ment of the many aud the best, a tuitutp
prchotisiou of which no words of mine
c mill relieve them.
This, with the shock of tho burning nnd
t te loss of almost everything, to their feel
ing, filled the town with lawlessness till
>dh difficulty they could ho persuaded to
a "»pt my proffered hospitality. Yet iu uli
Mr. I’arr conducted himself us a Christian
ntleman nnd his assistants as Christian
todies.
But I wish to relieve the best people of
Quitman from any imputation of sanction
ing the mue. 1 am assured, sir, they
both condemn it most positively sud most
sincerely desire to see the criminals brought
to justice. \Vh<-n that is done we wilt need
tio vindication from anyone.

Report of tn F.j o wltneas.
Tbo remains arrived at Lancaster nt 9:30
Sunday, and nt 3:40 that afternoon the body
was placed in tho retort. The body was
wrapped only in >• white cloth, which was
Mituaiteil iu a solution of alum (to prevent
the chth from being instantly destroyed by
the boat], and in this Bhapo it waa laid in
the iron cradle, which was placed on s mov
able track, the same height ns the
retort. This was then wheel
ed up by propulsion obtained
with iron rods, that permitted the ntiend-
unto who did it to stand at a sufficient dis
tunes from the furnace to uvoid being in
jured hy the heat. Tho fnrnnco door op
ened, the cage containing the body was
rolled into the edge of the opening, whero
the carriage struck an obstruction, placed
there for that purpose, which threw the
body into tho retort, leaving the iron
truck to be drawn back out of danger.
The body was thrown into a fur
hnce heated beyond that one that
Nehuebanezzor commanded to be heated
“one seven times more than it waa wont to
be heated,” and into which Khndraeb and
his companion were pitched head first,
“bound fn their coats, their hosen and their
beta and other garments.” The fnrnote
door clanged black again, and through a
small aperture the scene insult was noted.
Owing to the saturation of ths cloth, and,
possibly, also to the expulsion
<>f moisture from tho body, the
first sad instant effect waa s dense and
vapor which filled the interior of the fur
nace, hiding the body. No flame entered
the incloeure, and in ■ few moments the
space became clear again, and the body,
still wrapped in the alum-prepared sheet,
was seen ns a dazzling, incandescent mass,
looking something like the modern, glow,
ing mass in tbe rotort of a glass-making
f*tm*.~. At 6 o'clock it waa found that
the body had been reduced to sahes.
