A FEW PLAIN STATEMENT! Cotton, which ought to be a blessing to New Orleans, and which it is, in a certain restricted sense, is indisputably the source of many evils in a financial sense. The first of these is, that it suggests number less falsehoeds. and originates disastrous speculations that injure the entire com munity. In the opening of the season we are told that the crop is a failuregby those who desire to sell, and that it is a success by those who wish to buy. Every little country newspaper is hunted over for paragraphs to sustain these asser tions, a worm being found in Rapides assisting the sellers, nud a good report from Caddo assisting the buyers. If the impression can be fortified that a ten acre field has been ravaged in DeSoto, then the market is feverish for a rise, be cause it is assumed that this devastation is to influence the entire purchasing in terest from DeSoto to Manchester. The prevalence of these falsehoods may be- traced to an old tradition that the South controls the cotton market of the world, and that when our cotton fields fail the price of the staple must advance. Planters are told that the worm has made its appearance, and they at once refuse to ship to market, because such news ought to send the price up. So it would, prob ably, if the South controlled the market as she once did, but fortunately, or other wise, the South does not control the sup ply of cotton. Of the surplus on hand in Liverpool, at the latest dates, the United States only grew about one-fifth. Of the amonnt of cotton on shipboard, en route for England last month, fort}' thousand bales were reported to be from the South, and six hundred thousand bales from other cotton fields. If these figures are calculated for a moment, the planter will discover that h;s crop is not necessary to the world at all, and that when he holds it back for the purpose of producing a rise in prices, he is not only running the risk of a fall, but he is paying interest on his own money. A little sensible honesty in regard to our farming transactions will help every body. The planter should forward his crop at the earliest moment, sell it, invest the money, and then attend to the im provement of his place. By doing this he will be enabled to pay his debts and stop the interest which he is paying to the brokers; and he will be relieved from a great deal of anxiety; and he will help the country by keeping money plenty. At present all the legitimate capital that belongs to New Orleans is locked up in cotton. The banks are assisting to move the crops in the interest of their mercantile and commission customers, and they are, therefore, incapable of assist ing the other legitimate departments of business with that financial aid which they need. This enables a set of brokers to enter the money market and demand twenty and thirty per cent for loans. Some of the best houses in New Orleans are paving twenty per cent, and an unex ceptionable piece of commercial paper was discounted last week at twenty-five per cent. Other parties find it abso luely impossible to obtain money ou auv thiug like ev t n these extortionate terms. This thing occurs annually. Just about the time our season ought to open. New Orleans is regularly tied up with her cotton crop, which the planters in the country refuse to sell because they have heard something about worms, or are expecting to Lear something about worms which will enable them to realize enough more money out of their cotton to pay the interest which they Lave bound themselves f.ir. Robinson, with one hundred bales which he has farmed, reads a paragraph from some incompetent country editor that the cron in Tigerville is a failure. He at once orders his cot ton to be held back, which necessitates h;s broker to raise money at twenty per cent in order to pay expenses. By and by ItoLinsou hears that the same incom petent editor has reported the cotton at Tigerville splendid, and then he orders a sale and pockets his losses. For years this thing has been going on in the South—planters putting on the ruinous airs of speculators, capitalists and cotton gamblers. And for years they have been taken in at their own expense. Farming is oue thing and speculation another. One is done in the country, honestly, and the other is done on C'aron delet street, curiously, to draw it mild. Cotton circulars are the cards of the lat ter, and the ordinary market reports should be the guides of the former. Men who desire to gamble in cotton, by buying for a rise in the market, are a different sort of people from the planters who grow the staple. Speculators are men of widespread intelligence, whose area of knowledge spans nil countries. They figure with the product of Egypt, Brazil, Asia and all other cotton fields before them. They lock up their own money, and are well paid if ten per cent is made. The country farmer in Louisiana hardly sees beyouud his rail fence; neither un derstands the yield of other regions nor the consumption of his own State, and locks up somebody else's money. If he gains a cent on the pound his increased expenses Lave consumed it. And be is as restless while waiting as a country politician, lor fear the thing will turn out badly. A little less lying, therefore, in town, and a little more business tact in the country, will make the cotton crop a much gieater blessing than it has been. CIVIL RULE. The election of General Grant in 13G3 to the Presidency of the United States, was undoubtedly a concession to the mili tary element of our people and govern ment; aud President Grant's administra tion has been rendered conspicuous for its patronage to military men. To a cer tain extent this is proper under the cir cumstances. The American people are not ungrateful and the President's indica tion to confer civil honors and emolu ments upon military men has not encoun tered their disapprobation. Aside from the services aud devotion displayed in the cause of the republic, as the commander of its armies, there were good reasons in 1863 why General Grant should be elected President Peace had not beeh fully re stored, although the rebellions armies had surrendered and dispersed. Much bitter feeling existed in the minds of many of the Southern people, and the wort of re construction in the Southern States was yet to be accomplished. The manner in which this was to be effected had already divided the people, and as it was essen tial to the friends of the Union that the work should be done so as to perpetuate the great principles involved in the war, it was necessary that the govern ment should be prepared for any emer gency. For this and the further reason that General Grant had achieved noble distinction as a soldier and friend of liberty, he was chosen President. When he was nominated by the Re publican party he was the General of the American army and under pay as a soldier. This was something unusual in the history of our country. But once before had the people gone directly to the army for its President. General Washing ton had retired from the army several years, and was engaged in superintending the cultivation of his farm when elected President General Jackson was defeated in his first canvass for the Presidency because of the prejudice that had been aroused in the people against the preten sions of military men; aud that was ten years after the hero of New Orleans had retired from military life. General Taylor was taken from the army and became President in 1849. This was two years after he had won the battle of Buena Vista in the war with Mexico. His selec tion was the first made directly from the army, aud he was sixty-five years old when he became President. He was a plain old man, who had done his country good service in the tented field, and the condition of political parties in 1843 favored his election to the Presidency. The Democrats had divided, and a portion of them, under the name of free-soilers, supported Martin Van Buren, while the Democratic party nominated Lewis Cass. General Taylor received the nomination of the Whig party, and became President. He was not a politician, and publicly pro claimed before his election that he had "no friends to reward, nor enemies to punish." It is very probable that if Gen eral Taylor had been a much younger man, and a more ambitious man, he could not have been taken from the army and made President without incurring the op position of some portion of the American people: for their prejudice is easily aroused against military men who aspire to civil rule. is TLe nomination and election of Gen eral Grant, in 1808, was considered a po litical necessity. The peculiar condition of the country seemed to demand it. Complete civil rule had to be established throughout the whole length and breadth oi the land before peace could prevail, and it wa» correctly supposed this could not be accomplished without the aid of the military arm of the government. To make government the more effective in restoring a permanent peace, and to re ward, perhaps, a worthy man, the Amer ican people, or that portion of it largely in the majority, concluding to deviate from the usual course in such matters, took General Grant from the army, w here be was chief in command, and placed him at the head of civil affairs. None seemed to understand better than Presi dent Grant what the majority wanted w hen they placed him at the head of the nation. In his inaugural address to the American people, without distinction of pa*rtv, he emphatically said, "Let us have peace." He knew this to be the wish of the majority of his countrymen, and it was a gentle intima tion to those who were belligerently in clined, or disposed to have their own way in reconstruction, that the government would be prepared to enforce the laws even against violence. The work of re construction is completed, and the neces sity for even the semblance of military government need no longer exist if the American people determine to have a civil ian for the next President. We repeat the work of reconstruction is completed, but peace can not be considered permanent until all parties yield faithful obedience to the laws. Ii all have honestly made up their minds to this, civil rule can pre vail without the aid of the military. Surely, no portion of our people require to be told this. Nor is it necessary to tell them that if they desire to have a civilian instead of a soldier in the Presi dential chair, the matter is in their own hands. It is the It is the opposition of the minority to the rule of the majority that has brought about a necessity for the use of extraor dinary measures. Let the minority re member this, and yield gracefully, in the future, to the constitution and laws. Then the country can have peace without the aid of the military to enforce it. Then it will be unnecessary for Mr. Pendleton to tell the people that they have "an auto cratic power greater than that of Samson, as he stood and closed his arms around the pillars of the temple ready to bring it down upon the heads of all who w°re within it. The people are the autocratic power iu this country; the only absolute power, if they are true to themselves. It is therefore wrong to say that any oue man possesses autocratic power in this country, for that implies that the people Lave surrendered their liberties. We do not believe they are prepared to admit this. Ths Democratic party can make no headway against President Grant by ac cusing him of being an autocrat, because he enforces the law. That is his sworn duty. If the Democrats really prefer civil rule, in toto, they should work with the majority for its just administration. LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR DUNN'S DENIAL. It will be seen by his note that Lieuten ant Got ernor Dunn disclaims the pater nity of the sentiment attributed to him. He denies having made use of the lan guage charged, or its equivalent. If he had contented himself with a simple de nial, we might, perhaps, have let the mat ter pass as one of the mistakes that wit nesses and auditors often make in mat ters that come under their notice. But Dunn is apparently ambitions of appear ing in the Republican as the advocate tl exponent of some original principle of olicy. Be therefore sends to ns a Yathcr prosy recital of platitudes, which being sifteebout appear to U3 to mean that he is in favor of colored men having the right to hold any office to which the people may elect them. As this question was not ia any manner involved ia the charge against him, we look upon his declaration as decidedly gratuitous. The charge was that he has advised the colored people to vote only for colored men, as white men are unworthy of trust. His simple denial that he entertains or ever uttered such a sentiment is sufficient for the purpose of the controversy. It now becomes an issue of tact between himself and our inform ants, whose names are at his service if he desires to pursue the case fur ther. We have no apology to of fer for publishing the specific charge. He admits having seen it made substantially in other papers. So have we. But he has not before thought proper to deny it. And now that we have given him the opportunity to be heard in his defense, he has spoken by putting in a plea of not guilty. If we fail in the evi dence we can produce, wo shall cheerfully throw up the case and admit his plea, for it would afford us no pleasure to know that the second officer in the State, and the "first representative of his race," en tertains sentiments so fatal to the interests of the weaker half of our citizens. He will please take notice that we Lave not placed him iu a false and injurious posi tion, nor in any position whatever. We have merely called his attention to reports which, in our judgment, reflected upon his character as a man of common sense, for the purpose of giving him an oppor tnnity to contradict them if untrue. And we shall endeavor to be entirely fair in all future treatment of the subject, and weigh the testimony on both sides with impartiality. For if we have any prefer ence, it is ia favor of the hope that Lieutenant Governor Dunn is not the upholder of political sentiments that would deprive a citizen of his privileges because he unfortunately happens to be white. BEV. L. C. MATLACK. D. D. The many friends in this city and else where of the distinguished divine, Rev. Dr. Matlack, will be glad to leam that he is again convalescing. The doctor had but partially recovered from a severe attack of yellow fever when his estimable wife was suddenly prostrated with con gestion of the brain, and died in less than five hours. This terribie bereavement, under which he staggered for several days, proved too severe a blow for him in Lis enfeebled condition, and a relapse of the fever, which proved far more severe than the first attack, came very near causing his death. The crisis, however, was reached yesterday and successfully passed, and we have the assurance of Lis phy sician that with care he will undoubtedly recover. Colonel Hodgson, who is considered an intelligent man generally, was the author of the suggestion that the shooting of Clanton was a premeditated assassination. The mere reading of the statement made by Clanton's friends was sufficient to sat isfy any perfectly sensible man. which we deny that Colonel Hodgson is, that the shooting was purely incidental to the meeting of a hot-headed individual with one that was half drunk, and that Clan ton was more to blame than Nelson. The utterance of such a charge, under the cir cumstances, seeing how the father of young Nelson had acted in the arrest of his own son, was a very unjust and un generous thing, and the retraction which Hodgson has made will never relieve him from the censure of good men for his ill judged and partisan accusation. He has distinctly and definitely withdrawn the wicked defamation. Now let us see if the Patriot will have the manliness to do the same thing. It is worthy of notice by the Repub lican party that the Customhouse is sup ported in its attacks upon the Governor by the Democratic press throughout the State. A Customhouse employe is writ ing the correspondence of the Demo cratic papers. This is a virtual partner ship, and shows plainly which side of the house is selling out. Most of the disaffected Republicans who are crying out against Governor Wannoth as un sound, once sent a communication to Washington assuring the President that Collector Casey was a Democrat. They suspected Hervig of being a Democrat too, but now they are all faithful, and are the favorites of the Democratic press. It is curious to think about. If Lieutenan: Governor Dunn wants the colored people in Louisiana to sup port only men tf their own race because they are in a mijority, he can not object to the same rule when applied the other way; that colortd men shall be excluded from all federal offices because in the United States tae whites are in the ma jority. Mr. D:nn is weaker than his enemies have asserted him to be, and he is proving tie feet to the satisfaction of everybody in his latest efforts. OX CARONDELET STREET. The money nnrket is yet in ^reat stress. City certificates,usually reckoned as sood investment, go feeing at low rates. 8tate warrants are not quotable. There is a dis taste daily groving against paper, and an inclination toward cash for its owu sake. Applications for accommodation loans on the banks must »e backed up by the most unquestionable .'ollaterals. Domestic ex change is quiet, and sight on Xew York is yet par. Gold is rated at 11316911334, and none but the ordinary sales transpired. A want of spirit,* lack of enterprise, an all prevailing indolence extends like a cloud over the field, ind is surprising at this season of the ymr. All operations beyond those absolutely necessary are held in abeyance, and '.hough the future looks promising, yet tie clouds are yet hanging in the horizon. The stock marlet is flat. Levee stock is improving in valte, and closed yesterday at $4—209 shares laving been sold at this price. Those wfose faith was reduced, and 1 toll who wagered the stoic would not rally, be gan to look blank, while the opposite- side were cheerful. Waterworks stock has not yet been wiped out, and, shorts covering have induced an imitation of buoyancy in the paper. Neither Fertilizer, Slaughter house nor Lottery could afford consolation yesterday, and no offers were made nor propositions put either from the ranks of buyers or borrowers. The stock market wfii not stand much, and a slight move meat will either depress or elevate it, hut until the Chicago fire ceases to be felt, the market will have a disposition toward ua. mitigated dullness. Cotton ia still in good request, hut offer ings are scant. In the afternoon, discourag ing advices arrived from Liverpool, and the inquiry was somewhat damped down. Nevertheless, sales are unprecedented, con sidering the news, and at least eighteen hundred hales were sold. Factors were willing to make a few concessions, and small lots were eagerly snapped up. C'onnterl'eit Mrkln. It was recently stated that counterfeit nickies to the amount of fifteen hundred dollars were sunk by officers of the Canal itndT.'laiborne Street Railroad Company in the Mississippi river, so that they might never get into circulation again. The quantity of counterfeit nickies was so great that the general impression pre vailed that it was intended to report the sinking of fifteen hundred nickies, aud not fifteen hundred dollars in amouut. We learn, however, that the amount actually thrown into the river by the Claiborne Railroad Company was the sum first stated—fifteen hundred dollars. This was the accumulation of three years. The counterfeit nickies dropped into the street car boxee amounted to about a dime a day for each (Jar on all the routes. This seems inconsiderable, but when it is reflected that there are hundreds of street cars con stantly running ia this city, it will ba seen that the aggregate amount daily reaches a large sum in the course of a year. The question pertinently suggests itself, can not the counterfeiters be hunted out and arrested. It is very probable that the same proportion of counterfeit nickies cir culate in every branch of trade, and are paid out by innocent holders in many in stances, who have not learned to distin guish the counterfeit from the genuine.
