True she lias been ssivi'd Im fore nine thousand, nine lim dred and ninety-unie times, but Chief Justice Flow lias saved it for the. tcu tlutiisaudtli time. (ilory In, like the old ship of zi.ni. .she has landed many thou sand and vmi Litnl as many more. The Chief Justice has patched th.' Kak which he alleges th Keeor der's court made in the old parch mint, lilt lie wants no mouiine nt such as it is the custom to erect to the. nit mory of constitution silvers. He will he satisfied with the fees. True, the Chief Justice ban not saitl st much to us, huf sjiee he. sonic time ago udvertisctl for lases in the oni-sado of im u stitutitu saving, we are warrant etl iu drawing this conclusion.

Parker, who moved to liiH.sh the proceedings on the ground that the count did not have jurisdiction, that under the act creating the hecorder s court the trial of such eases was giv en exelusnelv to that colli t. The Chit f Justice savetl the con stilutioii on the spot by ruling that hi' did have jurisdiction, liicith nt to the saviig of the constitution, if the Xuprenn Court htiids with the Chi. f Jus tice, tlie latter will luive the ep- jsirtiiniity to leopen h;, court in ;J on the con :: ami rake in more fees, like lie usvd to do before the hole was km eked hi the con stiturtkm by the creation of the Kit-order's ctuirt.

The fact is that among the actual consumers of cotton, unbiased by specula tive influences, the belief Is growing, ami rightly so, that pre sent qiMafiM!.s pretty nearly, if not cnitirdy, discount this year's yield even though it be of bum per proportions.
