Thk Boston Herald says: “Tho foot that Senator Logan was the Republican candi date for View-President,so furfrom constitu ting a “claim" for him as a presiding officer of tho Senate, furnishes a good reason why Be should not be chosen. The Republican Senators should not make use of the acci dent to reverse the verdict of the people." “It is ovi- Savs the Philadelphia Press: dent that the Southern prohibitionists are in earnest and that they will probably give tlm Southern Democracy more trouble than tho Northern Republicans have suffered from the same oaiue. If they are destined to Be the instrument tor rending tho Solid South nnd aiding in tho establishment of an honest Ballot-box in that section, every fair-minded man will bid them ‘God speed.”’ And if they are destined to reha bilitate the negrq and make him again au activo political force to rend the Democratic party, the Republicans will bid them “God apeod" and call for a “tiger.” 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 PM KB INAL.

And atnee Mias Oar- fluid kau eelected that for bar profession, it la a pleasure to know that “she la a lovely skater." 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 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.

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. ‘•In Iowa the subordinate courts have ruled in several instance* that the issue of constitutionality is at Mas* an open one, I Had style.

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.

Brunswick, Go, Ilow Cremation Looks, 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. manufacture of mild steel by the « sr process has, it is raid, been so j g.* reduced in cost in England that! tuj. A CAltD.
