Col R. II. Lindsay, Sbreveport Dear 8ir I recently visited Sbreveport and remained there four or five days, which to me, was a source or pleasure, and, I trust, of profit eU-; for I lrned a great deal we farmers should kuotv, iu many re- chants with whom we have to doal.

We too often censure and abuse 1 hem without jnst cause claiming tbat our cotton did not bring the anticipated price; tbat tbe weight, did not tally with tbe weights at borne or tbat it was so dirty it was below classification. Now all tbis is wrong, and resnlti from tbe lack of proper information. During my stay in your beautiful city my attention was called to au incident jhicb was iu striking illustration of tbe point iu view. A broker bad bought a bale ot cotton, probably from the table, and wben he sampled it be took a sheet of brown paper aid hook upon it the dirt from the sample. My opinion was that alter tbe shaking process the cotton would bave weighed one pound aud tbe dirt two pounds.

So, tbe broker had bought three pouuds of dirt and cotton to get one pound of tbe staple. And this state of things will exist nntil we learn to handle our cotton more carefully. So much for the dirt. As for tbe weights, I cannot believe there is a respectable mer chant in Sbreveport and as a class there are none more respectable apvwbere who would knowingly defraud a Armer in the weight of his cotton, knowing, as tbey cer tainly do, that tbe word of God is "what soever measure ye mete, it shall be meas ured to yon again." lo sumltbe whole matter np, after a personal acquaintance and experience with tbe leading merchant, ot Sbreveport for thirty long years 1 bave come to tbe honest conclusion that tbey are in tbe main a high-toned set o' gentlemen. They are social, liberal, and intelligent, and consequently I bad rather trust my trade iu their bands than in the tiands of the merchants of any other com mercial city I have tried since I been a citizen ot Texas.

But there is something we very much Deed and without which Shseveport must lose a very large trade from this section. I mean railroads which will bring us in closer connection. Tbe tax oa our cotton as freight by wagon from Eastern Texas to your city or to auy other point, is simply enormous. Tbia state of things can ouly be obviated by a railroad from Sbreveport into tbe interior ot Texas through this section of country. What has become ot the Southwestern road? The success of that enterprise would prove of untold advan tages to your merchants and real estate owners.

lours J. B. Armstrong. A difficulty occurred on Mr. A.

C. Brown's plantation, nearly opposite this place, on Tuesday last, between a white man named llson and a colored man named Charles Jones, which resulted in both men being severely wounded with knives, tbe white man being cut to the hollow, allowing his entrails to protude to such an extent as to almost cause death. Bad whisky was the cause cf the trouble, and no one seems to know anything more than tbat as to how the fight started, Conshatta Citizen. Good Advice. The Georgia Grange says "it the planters of the bouth would make their plantations strict! self-sus taining, and buy nothing which they cotiM themselves produce, cotton wonld never be below thirty cents per pound, and they would become tbe wealthiest people under the sun." The Tyler Democrat and Reporter of the 13th contains the valedictory of Mr.

L. H. Beaird, who established the Democrat nearly six year. ago. Mr.

H. V. Hamilton remain, in sole charge as editor and pro prietor. We wish this excellent and staunch Democratic paper a full measure of success. The Nationals or Greenbackers carried the day in the late municipal election in Little Rock.

Tbe friends of that party claim that they defeated tho united Demo cratic and Republicau ticket. It is to be hoped the Tiltons won't reunite justyet. Such stories will come so handy during tbe midsummer dullaess. Worcester Press. "They say," remarked the Rev.

In official quarters and at clubs tbe feeling is equally despondent. Before the adjournment of parliament for Easter recess, Right Honorable Mr. Edward Forester, liberal member for Bradford, will probably ask Sir Stafford North-cote, chancellor of exchequer in tbe honse of for tbe latest information concerning negotiations.

This morning', news from St. Petersburg ia not calculated to increase confidence. Tbe fact tbat the cabinets of London and St. Petersburg resorted to semi official intercourse seem to indicate tbat official expres sion would have only intensified their differences. Tbe result of tbe interchange of views is not hopeful, Russia substantially repenting her former auswer, and England reaffirming the principal originally laid down.

Reports of Austro Russian agreement under pressure from Prince Bismarck on tbe former is denied by Count Andra.ssy's friends, who declare Prince Bismarck's at titude, as between Austria and Ku.wia, has been one of entire neutrality. He well aoderstauds tbat Russia nrged the minimum, not tbe maximum, of her objections against tbe treaty of Sau Htefano and tbat tbe uargin for mediation is extremely narrow. London, April 1(5. All reports about Rnisia having sent a reply to Austria's objections are contradicted from tbe said source iu other circles. In Vienna it is stattd tbe emperor and military party are stronger than oCunt Andraaxy, and will not snppott bis anti-uussiau policy.

Among a large class of Anstrians the belief is said to prevail tbat Austria bas nothing substantial to gain by either peace or war, because Hungary would reseut tbe annexation of Slavonic countries, but that action would be forced ou tbe monarchy if tbe Russians attempt to disarm or occupy Ronmania. i'rince liismnrcks reported answer to M.Bratiano, the Roumanian prime minis ter, is confirmed by a statement in yester day's Norde Deutsche ifoitung of Berlin, bicti was as follow: Mr. Brattano must bsvo known before bis arrival bere tbat Germany is not disposed to subordinate ber own relations to Russia to a regard for the withes cf Rournauia in tbe Bessara bia question, which doe. not touch Ger man Pro-Ruesian advices from Constantinople say tbe situation is to tbe utmost.

In the bouse of com mons air btafford Aortncote, chancellor, replying to inquiry says the situation is anxious, but nothing has occurred to aggravate it or to diminish tbe hope of a sat isfactory arrangement.

Sir stafiord Jiorthcote moved tuo ad journment of tbe two bouses at their rising to-day until the Oth of May. Sir Wilfred Lawson, radical member from Carlisle, criticised tbis step in view of tbe serious crisis. Mr.

Henry Fawcett. liberal member for Hackney, moved aa amendment providing for an adjournment to tbe 2ltli inst. bir St a flora Aortbcote deprecated tms proceeding, which he would alarm tbe world. Tbe Right Hon. Win, E.

It bad been aaid there was no nse in bim saying anything and that he would have said nothing but for the fact tbat be was' suffering from personal disappointment, lie denied tbat this was true, and said be1 had no accomplices He spoke for himself alone no oue knew what be intended to say before be made that speech.

He did not expect to reseat Gov.

It bad been widely proclaimed tbat for years be bad been strnggling for a seat ou tbe supreme court bench.

The supreme court of Missouri has rendered a decision which ii desjgned for and will possibly have the effect, in great measure, of putting an end to one of the worst evils connected with tbe administration of justice and the settlement of disputes in courts of law. The decision is that an attorney guilty of champerty ia liable to both fine and imprisonment. Champerty, as defined by Webster, ie an agreement with either party to a suit, plaintiff or defendant, to supply money, services or evidence by which to aid in carrying on the suit, with tbe understanding that for such services the persons shall receive a part of the property iu dispute if the party so supplied prevails. Iu other words, under tbis decision of tbe Missouri supreme court, a lawyer who offers to conduct a suit in consideration ot a portion of tbe expected judgment, is guilty of champerty and liable iu that state to fine and imprisonment. It frequently happens that property with perfect title is attacked under tbis system, and tbe owners thereof subjected to all the annoyance en gendered thereby.

This is purely black mailing, lb. party aggrieved sometimes prefer to compromise rather than undergo the expense ot a defense, and will payout money to get rid of the annoyance. It is a disreputable practice, and more common than might be supposed. The example set by the supreme court of Missouri may be judiciously imitated elsewhere. Interest Table.
