In so for as the general trade is concern-
ed, the usual summer Inertia prevails, and
the commercial status may now be said to
be at the lowest point, from which bo per-
manent reaction can be expected till the
setting in of the Fall trade.
The wholesale trade continues nominal,
and the summer-heat, connected with other
causes that prevail at this season, has pre*
vented much movement in the retail direc-
tion.
The business in staple articles has been
small, whilst dry and fancy goods have
met a very light demand.
In regard to the crop prospect, there has
be,n but little change for the better since
our last weekly report, Indeed, there is, if
anything, less cause of encouragement now
than a week ago. In some of the Northern
sections of the State, dry weather is pre-
vailing, and, unless rain be had, injury
must result.

Braaoe, Colorado and Trinity plantations
were almost completely wrecked. In some
places, the insect is already going into the
chrysalis or web state, previously to a more
extensiye generation and depredation on
the p'ant.
An item which has obtained great promi-
nence within the last week is the discovery
of remedies against the insect, claimed to
be not only effective de&troyers of the
worm, but also of practicable application
The most p omineni is that proposed b/
Mr. H, F. Gillette, of Harris county, and
alleged by him to be a most effectual safe*
guard, as well as destrover. We allude to
arsenie, which Mr. Gillette and his neigh-
bors simply mix with a barrel of water,
which is sprinkled on the cotton by a per-
son on horseback. Mr, Gillette says tbat
a man on a mule can sprinkle 12 acres per
day, and that the worms completely 1 ave
the cotton thus sprinkled. We think Mir.
QQlette's plan is the must effectual wa have
se*n of applying the arsenic. Others nix
t with meal and sift on the cotton whilst
the dew Is on. If arsenie proves to be a
remedy, and a practical remedy, tbe benefit
to cotton growers will be incalculable, and
millions will be saved.
As regard quotations, we refer to the last

The announcement tbat a District
Judge bad issued process requiring
Judges Walker and Ogdeu, of tbe
Sapreme Court of tbe State, to appear
belore him at Seguin to answer as
per ct ntempt, is calculated to arrest
attention. We deprecate the exis-
tence of eriteh unseemly clashing of
authority, and do not nphold Jadge
Mauey in his cauee. As the same
time, we are much, at a loas to know
where the Sapreme Court got its au«
fcbority to punish Jadge'Maoey by
fine and imprisonment for a judicial
act performed by him We deny the
authority. Article 1893, page 412,
Oldham & White's Digest, certainly
cannot beheld to apply to a judicial
officer in the performance or non*
performance of a judicial act, Our
construction of the Constitutional
provisions conferring jurisdiction np-
on the Supreme and District Courts,
satisfy us that the District Courts are
of much more extensive and enlarged
jurisdiction than the Sapreme Court;
that, in fact,. the Supreme
Court has only ajppellate jurisdic-
tion. § 3, art. 5. after speaking of
interlocutory judgments, saye:
Tbe Sapreme Court and tbe Judge
thereof, shall have power to issue
tbe writ of habeas corpus, and un
der such regulations as may be pie-
scribed by law, may issue the writ
of mandamus—and such other
writs as may be necessary to en«
force4ts own jurisdiction.*' Now
this cahnot be intended to embrace
tbe power to pot a Jadge of tbe
District Court, in a common j*U
among felons, merely because in the:
exercise of his judgment he denie*
tbe jurisdiction of the Appellate
Conrt. If he er'ee in his judgment,
be is not tbns to be punished and
disgraced. For an official act, he is
not amenable civilly or criminally.
If he acts arbitrarily and oppres*
sively, he is punishable by impeach-
ment and not otherwise.
The Supreme Court, ai at present
organized, is not looked upon as was
Kent or Marshal—nor yet ss tbe
Bench composed of Li peso nab, Hemp-
hill and Wheeler—nor tbe Jadg«s
removed by tbe military authorities.

mckenzie's raid.
For the purpose ofj showing
M^xicau eeiitioietlt about this m
ter we give tbe f ►llowiogjfllrotn
editorial,of Ifte Two Republics, a
paper published iu Eogltih at thV
City cf .Mexico:
It is argued by raariy of (the best
friends of Mexico, t^at tbe neceaeity
for the ch^stieement of the Kicka-
poos and Lipans^-had exieted for a
long time and that tbe authorities
of Mexico jQad been appealed: to,
from time to ts'rae; but tbat those
who charged upon the Mexican au-
thorities an unwillingness to sup"
press the raids of tbe Iadiacs into
Texas, are unjust: When it is coifc
sidered tbeimmenHe tracts of desert
country bordering Mexico and
Texts, with tbe limited military
means possessed by tbe government
of Mexico it must De seen ibat it is
utteily impossible for the authori-
ties to prevent these incursions.,
Under these considerations the pre-
cautionary measures adopted by the
government ofT the United States,
which are claimed'to be justifiable,
should have been i i the spirit of
friendship and forbearance towards
a neighboring, friendly * republic,
whose only fault in this respect
was inability to keep ac large mili*'
tary establishment on thg frontier.
While the Mexican press have, re-
ceived the intelligence with calmness
and dignity, numerous American
journals bave made it a great sensa-
tional matter for one purpose or an-
other. Thd filibusters bave seized
opon it; glorified tbe victory o? a
regiment of cavalry over a handful of
Indians who were surprised in their
village ; anu have attempt to give
the incident a turn favorable to their
intended robbery and plundering on a
grander scale. There ere other jour-
nals, however, in the United States
that honorably combat tbe schemes of
the filibusters; who even attack tbe
government of tbe United States
opon account of t e McKenzie raid.
They protest not so much against
the raid but against tbe spirit n
wh ch they believe it was inangu-
rated, received and attempted to be
used.
We bave the fullest confidence
that thiB difficulty can be settled
satisfactorily and honorably to both
governments, and tbat tor the nonce
the filibustering element will be
held in abeyance.
the cotton crop:
Washington, July 8 —Partial re^
ports received at the department of
agriculture from the cotton regions to
July let represent niqch wet weather,
which, in eoma States will make the
crop bacfcwarj in maturing. Indica-
tions are that whatever may be cfee-
injury to the crop from tfaia anrt
other causes, any deficiency will, it
is supposed be supplied by the larger
planting area than heretofore, and
therefore it is believed that the crap
of' this year will at least be equal to
that of last-
a new motive power.

here of the discovery at a new mo-

A CaaflKt af 'jirifllktl«s«
Gen. ShermaAjjiWho is never very
reticent wi h his opinions, bae late-
ly, by a single .toocb, exposed a
very weak point ig the so-called
Peace Policy with"Indians. Sa-
tana anu L;gr Tree, twe ireacbSrois
and dunriierona chiefs, convicted
^aod beld iti duress by the'State^ au-
thorities in Texas, were promised
their pardon and freedeftn 'by the
General Government. We do'not
recollect th^t any extenuation of
their guilt was urged by anybody;
but tbe Kiowas and Cbejennes#
wboEnli^was desired to conciliate;
denamwi the freedom of their
chiefs; without the concession they
would not talk of peace, much less
keep it. In a moment of weakness,
and with tbat lofty ignorance of
tbe rights of States which is too
too apt to^ cbar^acterize a purely
.military administration, tbe Gov-
ernment promised that Sa-
tana and B-g Tree should
be set free. ' There7
pened, however, to be a State cf
Texas, wbich had aot only convicted
theee Indians of murder, Jbut held
them in prison. General Sherman
was appealed to f^r'i his opinion in
the matter, as tbe Governor of Texas
was willing to be convinced of tbe
expediency of releasing the prisoners.
The General, with bis usual bappy
disregard of #hat is expected ofbim,
said tbat be bad 'no more regard'-for
Indian sincerity than he had for that
tf prairie wolves, and that he b&ped
the Indian Bureau would manage its
wards without the aid of the army.
IUa clear that the Ganeral has pot
itrve views of the Indian Question so
far as the good faith of the Indians is
concerned, and tbat he does not be*
lieve that the promise of tbe Kiowas
and Cbeyennes to bebavo themselves
if iheir chiefs are restored to tbem ii
