Come Down in Your Rents.— The follow
ing Irom the Mobile Tribune is very applicable
to this city : The time is approaching when
business men will be called upon to renew their
leases and rents on their storehouses. The
evil of the high and exorbitant rents which
our merchants have been compelled to pay are
too well known to need much comment here.
The high rents which have ruled since the close
of the war have done our city more injury
than many may imagine. Busiuesa interests
have been prostrated by them, aud many good,
worthy merchants driven into bankruptcy by
the same cause. With the experience ol the
past it is to be hoped that our merchants will
be met by the landlords in an accommodating,
liberal spirit the coining year. 'They should re
member that the excuse which has beeu given
in justification of the high rents—that the tax
on real estate is enormous—will not staud
argument. Merchants, as well as property
holders, are heavily taxed, and unless there is
a rednctiou in rents many ot them will not be
able to maintain themselves.
We hope these aud oilier facts will be taken
into consideration by ibe landlords aud that
they will carry out tlie noble and humane senl i
meat o( “ live and let live,” arid thereby pro
mote the prosperity aud happiness of all
classes, and at the same time benefit them"
selves.
Death of Judge Robert Dougherty. —YYe
are grieved to see in the Alabama papers the
announcement ol tin- death of this good man
aud useful citizen. He died at his residence in
Tnekegee, on Friday evening last, after a severe
illness of several weeks. Judge Dougherty was
one of the most benevolent, entertaining and
companionable men of bis time. His genial
nature and goodness ol heart made him a fa
vorite with all who knew him. Tu his younger
years be was a politician of brilliancy and suc
cess, and served with distinction in the Legis
lature of Alabama ; but for fourteen or iifteen
years preceding bis death he had filled the posi
tion of Judge of the Circuit Court—a station
for which he was admirably qualified. Ilis
record in ibis position is a highly honorable
one. Judge Dougherty was a younger brother
of the late Gov. Charles Dougherty, and of Win.
Dougherty, Esq., late of this city, and now of
Athens. He was a native of Georgia, and
moved to Macon county, Alabama, we think,
.--.bout the year 1842. —Columbus Enquirer.
Ten Years Imprisonment at Hard Labor
Many persons will remember Ihe barbarous
murder of Mr. Jas. A. Martin, near Allendaie,
Barnweii District, in April last, by a crowd ol
infuriated negroes. Jacob Green and George
Taylor, the two ringleaders of the crowd, the
miscreants who did the shooting, have been
tried lately in Aiken, before a military commis
sion— Moj. L. Walker, President, and Lieut.
Wm. Stone, Judge Advocate—found guilty of
murder and sentenced “ to be hung to death by
the neck, at such time and place as the proper
irevfcwing authority may direct.”
But fi-en. Cauby’s clemency has cheated the
galkw-s of Us rich dues, and the well deserved
sentence iff these two black fiends is mitigated
to ten years imprisonment at hard labor in Fort

Congressional.
Washington, July 23,
Senate.— Mr. Wileon introduced a bill of
the character indicated in the uoou dispatch,
for a provisional government of Mississippi.
Ordered printed.
Mr. Howe introduced a bill, additional to
tbe act suppressing insuncciiou iu the States,
applying to those lately reconstructed, pro
viding for Federal assistance only on applica
tion ol the Governors or Legislatures created
by the reconstruction acts. Referred to the
Judiciary Committee.
A bill subsidising a line of steamers hence
to Europe was passed.
The bill lor protecting Amtnicaus abroad
was resumed aud discussed to recess.
House. —After some unimportant business,
the recess resolution, from Monday to the
third Monday iu September, was taken up.
The arming of the Southern Stales monopo
lized attention, and every speaker, after having
expressed his views briefly on Hie subject, was
called to order for speaking on a bill pending
when not before tlie House. This movement is
evidently prominent iuttie mind of every mem
ber.
Mr.Garfleld was unwilling to adjourn nntil
bis party friends from the South were armed.
Mr. Washburn, recognized as Grant’s organ in
the House, said he disapproved of the measure
ou the ground that, within ten days, these arms
would be in the hands of rebels. Washburn,
favoring a recess, 'assured the Beuate that the
President would sign or veto all bills pending.
The Speaker announced the President hail
signed tlie tax bill with a protest.
Mr. Hoyden, of North Carolina, protested
against sending arms there; they were nol
needed, and would only lend to create strife
and excite passion, which he thought it was
the duly of Congress to assuage and, if possi
ble, to prevent.
Mr. Dewees, of North Carolina, made a wild
speech, appealing lor arms, and rising to belig
erent language, saying, in effect, “ Come on,
come on ; the representatives of l'onr million
of people, though they had dark skins, would
lie in the front.”
This’speech created much mirth on the floor,
hut was evidently deprecated by the Radicals.
Finally, the Senate resolution for a recess
was adopted, and a motion to reconsider the
vote to-uiorrow prevailed, which leaves tlie
question still open.
The House disposed ol the Missouri election
ease in favor of Pile, and adjourned.
W awliington.
Washington, July 23—Noon.
The adjourned Radical meeting passed reso
lutions ol impeachment, and appointed t com
mittee to present the resolutions to the Re
construction Committee. Resolutions regard

son said he had a hill prepared, vacating ail
offices in Mississippi and filling them from
persons recently voted lor who could take the
t.esL oath ; the military commander to enforce
law without delay, and this shall constitute
Mississippi’s government until otherwise
ordered. Resolutions con let ring extraordinary
powers ou the Virginia Convention were
adopted. No action regarding Texas. The
feeling oi the meeting was intensely bitter.
Eggleston was present and approved ot Wil
son’s Mississippi plan.

A grand Seymour and Blair demonstration
took place to-night, surpassing anything oi the
kind since the war. The streets were illumi
nated with blazing tar barrels. Beils rung,
cannon fired, together with music and a pyro
technic display. An immense ratification meet
ing was held in the theatre. Tbe building was
crowded to overflowing, many ladies being
present. Tbe galleries were filled withcoloi
cd people. Speeches were made by Col. R. H.
Cowan aud Major Robert Wranee. The stage
ot the theatre was decotated with United
States flags. Dixie and the Star Spangled Ban
ner were played by colored brass bands, and
both received witii rapturous applause.
A Grant and Colfax ratification meeting will
be held to-morrow night.

New Orleans, July 23.
The T>i]l appropiating special funds ir, the
State Treasury to defraying the expenses of the
Legislature, vetoed by Gov. Wartnouth, was
yesterday passed by both Houses over the veto.
A resolution calling upon the Commauder of
tbe Army for military was adopted in both
Houses.
Tne House passed a resolution so appoint a
committee to form anew charter fer the city of
New Orleans.
The printing bill, as finally passed yesterday,
gives to tbe Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
and Speaker of the House entire control of
State, municipal and parochial printing. It vir
tually empowers them to establish one Repub
lican paper in each parish in the State.
Senator Jewell, ol the Printing Committee,
speaking in opposition to the bill, offered to do
the work defined for the official journal of the
Slate at halt rates prescribed, and to pay the
State a bonus of fifty thousand dollars ffi gold
yearly, and give bond in one hundred thousand
dollars.
Senator Poiudexter, colored Radical, spoke
and voted against the bill on the ground of the
enormous taxation it would involve.
O’Hara, another Radical, supported the bill
on the ground that it was to support the Radi
cal party.
When the final vote was taken the Demo
crats left the House. '

The New York Cotton Market
The Commercial and Financial Chronicle of
the 18th reports the cotton market as follows :
By special telegrams received by us from each
of tiie Southern ports we arc in possession of
the returns showing the receipts, exports, <fce,
of coti on for the week ending this evening, July
17. From the figures thus obtained it appears
that the total receipts for the last seven days
have reached 8,835 hairs (against 3.067 bales
last, week; 2,463 tales the previous week, and
2,701 bales three weeks since), making the ag
gregate receipts since September 1,1867, up to
this date, including the returns by telegraph,
2,174,714 bales, against 1,835,334 bales for the
same period in 1866-7, being an excess this sea
son over last season of 389.380 bales.
The exports for the week reach a total of
only 3.647 bales, of which 2,174 bales were to
Great, Britain and 1,473 Wiles to the Continent,
while tbe stocks at all the ports, as made up
this evening, are reduced to 85,004 bales.
Compared with the (Corresponding week of
last season, there is a decrease in tbe exports
this wevk ol 8.198 bales, so that the former in
crease iu the totnljffilpnjents since September
1, 1567, as compared •fcitb the same period of
the previnar rear, is now reduced to about
133,000 tales, while tL) stocks are 72,345 bales
less than they were at this time a year ago.
The market this wet4c has been without ma
terial change so lar at the influences that are
acting upon it are concerned. In the trade for
goods f in-n- has been a slight increase in the
demand at rather betjer orices and a decided
improvement of feeling. Confidence in a good
Summer and Fall tracD seems to be general.—
This feeling, and the farther fact that stocks of
goods are now very lotv, have led to freer pur
chases of cotton on the part of spinners. But
as speculative holders have shown a disposition
to realize, and receivers are willing sellers from
the wharf, prices have declined from for
middling uplands on Friday last to 31%@32 at
the close to-day. According to the Liverpool
Brokers’ Circular (July 2), the visible supply
of cotton has decidedly improved, owing to the
increased shipments from Bombay, tne total
stock and afloat at present comparing quite
favorably with last year. The average rate Os

The Cecil (Md.) Democrat says of the crops
in that county :
Harvest of wheat aud hay is well nigh finish
ed. The crops of both are fine., The wheat
matured much better than was anticipated
Oats ffiive made a rapid growth, and in some
parts of the county are ready for harvest. It is
feared that the drought which has in the lower
part of the pounty continued for many weeks,
will make this crop light, however, and corn is
generally suffering from want ol rain. The
peach crop in the Sassafras district is estimated
at fifty liaskets. This may lie considered a lib
eral estimate from a section that usually counts
its product by hundreds of thousands.

Stoney Point, White Cos., Ark., May 23, ’66.
Dr. John Bull—Ztearr Sir : Last February I was in
Louisville purchasing drugs, and I got some of your Sar
saparilla aud Cedron Bitters.
My gon-iu-l&w, who was with me iu the store, has been
down with rheumatism lor some tune, commenced on the
Bitters, and soou found his general health improved.
Dr. Gist, who has been in bad health, tried tliein, and
he also improved.
Dr. Copfkk, who has been in hail health for several
years—stomach and liver atlected—he improved very much
by the use of your Bittern. Indeed the Cedron Bitters
has given you great popularity in this settlement. 1
think I could sell a great quantity of your medicines this

TO MY UNITED STATES AND WORLD
WIDE READERS.
I have received many testimonials from professional
and medical men, as my almanacs aud various publica
tions have shown, all of which are genuine. The follow
ing letter from a highly educated and popular physician
In Georgia, is certainly runout the most .sensible commu
nications t have ever received. l>r. Clkmknt knows ex
actly what he speaks of. aud his testimony deserves to he
written in letters of gold. Hear what tlie Doctor says of
“ Bull's Worm Destroyer:
ViLLANOW, Wai.ker Uocnty, Ga„ »
.1 uue 29, lSliti. >
Dr. John Boll—Deor Sir: 1 have recently given your
“ Worm Destroyer” several trials, and lind it wonderfully
ethcacious. It has not tailed iu a single instance to have
the wished for effect. lam doing a pretty large country
practice, and have daily use for some article of the kiud,
lain free to confess that I know of no remedy recom
mended by the ablest authors that is no certain aud
speedy in its effects. Ou the contrary they are uncertain
in the extreme. My object in writing you is to find out
upon what terms I can get tlie medicine directly irom
you. If I can get it upou easy terms, 1 shall use a great
deal of it. I am aware that the use of such articles is
contrary to the teaching', and practice of a great majority
of the regular line of M. D.’s, but I see no just cause or
good sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be
efficient, simply because we may be ignorant of its combi
nation. I’or my part, 1 shall make it a rule to use all and
any means to alleviate suffering humanity which I may be
able to command—not hesitating because some one more
ingenious than my self may have learned its effects first,
and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge.
However, I am by no means an advocate or supporter of
the thousands of worthless nostrums that flood the coun
try, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which
human flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform me of
your best terms.
I am, sir, most respectfully,

rhea aud scrofula, for which I gave him your Sarsaparilla.
It cured him. I lave for ten years recommended it to
many ill New York, Ohio, and lowa, for scrofula, lever
Boren, and general debility. Perfect success has attended
it. The cures effected iu some cases ot Hcrofula and lever
sores were almost miraculous. I am very anxious formy
Hon to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla. He is

you for it. His wounds were terrible, but I believe he
will recover.

DR. JOHN BULL,
MANUFACTURER AND TENDBR OF THE CELEBRATED
Smitli’s Tonic Syrup!
FOR THE CURE OF
AGUE AND FEVER
OR
CHILLS AND FEVER
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claim
for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered tot, e
public for the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent a , ,
of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of she t
or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and
Southwestern country to bear him testimony to the
truth of the assertion, that m no case whatever will it
fail to cure, if the directions are strictly iollowed and car
ried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been
sufficient lor a cure, and whole families have been cured
by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the gen
eral health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case
morefeertain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller
doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked
more especially in difficult and long standing cases
Usually, this medicine will not require any aid tokeepthe
bowels in good order ; should the patient, however, re
quire a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or
lour doses of the Tonic, a single dose of “ Bull’s Vegeta
ble Family Pills ” will be sufficient.
