We leave it to the sense of all just men to say whether the Republicans of this Town were fairly treated last Tues day evening in being denied the right of speech and the right of npponl. There were two calls, one for a Mass Mcetil)?, nnd one lor a meeting to n-?nii nuto an Independent ticket, Coder the first call?that for a Mass Meeting? Republicans wore at least outitied to he kcnnl. V? e regret sinecrcfy (b be compelled to uiniounec that the Supreme Court lias decided in favor of the jclators in the celebrated Morton-lMifsmaminmus caso, and has ordered that the Comptroller General levy n tax snffiricnt to pay the interest on the five bonds mentioned in the j rocccdings therein. Our only chance now is with the Legislature, which txohtipc will tome to our aid in the spirit of the platform on which the Republican party was success ful last year. In the Tinlei of the 2fst appeared the following notice: "attention a 1.1.7 ?** A Mass Mooting, to nominate a Tick et for Mayor und Aldermen, will hr? held si the Nook and Lad.hr Hall, on fats dty night at si o'clock.

Tho Chairman appointed the following gentlemen to serve on the committee : W J DeTroville, Samuel Dibble, 11 Riggs, Joseph MoNnmata, J I' llsrloy.

Iloroupou Mr Franic Mill it (olorod) aroao and wanted to know whether the meeting was ono for citizens gencislly or one for White men only. This was a eloeo hit. It brought M r Dibble to his logs in a moment, who very Bhrcwdly and promptly moved that two more names bo added to the committee to give an opportunity for expressing! themselves to those who wefo not.commit ted to the Republican tidlfet. ""All tho Democrats at onco saw the po^pt, ?r ) the motion was carried, wherdttADO, afWi some reflection by the Chairman, Messrs Krank Millet and Januar y Bnltzigcr th colored) were placed on the com mittee, the members of which then retired for consultation.

The Chrirman stated that he so ruled, whereupon the gentlcmin appealed from the decision of the C'oir. The Chair peremptorily, and without, at that time, giving any reason, refused to entertain tho appeal, whereupon the speaker took his scat. Anotlrcr gentleman hero arose and, stating that he aas not committed to tho previous nomination, offered a motion, which the chnir refused to put to the house The speaker appealed but his ap ! peal was peremptorily disallowed by the chairnnn, who said that his reasons for refusing certain motions and appeals was, that he had been informed that a plan had been laid by certain parties to inter fere with the pence and harmony of the meeting. The gentleman who hud first been denied the right of appeal, hereupon rose tc a question of privet ego, which the chair declined to henr. The gentle man then Mated that he had no part or sympathy with the alleged plan to dis turb the meeting nod requested to be Cxcepted from the gcociul charge made by the Chairman. The Chairman then stated that his charge did not include the speaker. Rcinnrks were made by Messrs J. P. Mays and I. C.

By our special teJegrnm from Colnm bia, it appears thut tlve Supreme Court has ordered a mandamus to tho Comp troller General, "commanding him in all respects, "as prayed for in the said five petitions and "suggestions" of Morton , Bliss A Co. In othor words, the Comp troller is dirocted to fix tho taxation nec essary to raiso a sum sufficient to pay the arrears of interest on the five bonds sued upon. But, we suppose, this is intended to scttlo the point that was iu disputo as to tho power or duty of the Comptroller to fix tho rato of taxation, without an express direction from tho Legislature. By what procons of reason ing the court hns arrived at this conclu - sion, can bo only matter of conjecture, until wo 80C tho opinion, which is said io oover one hundred and fifteen pages of legal cop. A^csult so contrary to the general and well-considered opinion of tho Bar of thc^Stato, canuot but Btrike our people with amazement, even in th^sc dnys j? strange and startling things. Wlietr the opinion is published we will bo'in hotter position to judge whether something may yet bo d >tie by I legislative or judicial notion to rescue the people from tho colloctioo of this ruinous tax: Wo pay ruinous became if the principle is oace established, it will bo applied to all of the bonds of the five classes sued on.

The issues in this case are entirely of law, and wore araurd before me, on the 16th instant, by 31 r. Youiuaiis for re iators and Mr. Tradewcll, city attorney, respondent. They arise on the answer of "The City of Columbia," a municipal corporation, to a rule issued oil the application of the rclators to mo in the absence of the judge of the Fifth Circuit from the State, requiring cnuse to bo shown why a writ ol prohibition should not i.-sue in accordance with the prayer of the rclators- BUguestion?

The Suggestion sets out various grounds of prohibitiuu, all of which are contested by the City of Columbia Some ol the questions involved are not free from doubt ; but the view taken as to the first ground relied on in the sug gestion renders it unnecessary to pas> upon any other issue* than those involved in the pleadings in regard thereto. That ground is: I hat the City of ( olumbi? "had no right to ordain said ordinance, or to require payment by the rclators for the issuing of licenses to them as hanks, or to issue the executions against them, first, because the power of the City of Columbia to raise revenue, of which said ordinance is any exercise, is only hy Way of taxation, and expressly limited to assessment and collection ol tnxes tor corporate purposes, equal and uniform in respevt to persona and pro perty, ns appears hy sections 3(1, !>7 and 41 of article 1, section 33 of article 2, and sections 1,8 and 'J of article 0, and various other provisions of the constitu tion of this State, nil of which have been violated by said ordinance, it is alleged." Both the pleadings and the argument concede what in unquestionably correct: That this aidinauoe assesses, and the executions are for tho collection oftaxes, for tho purpose of raising revenue. In addition to the provisions of Artiole 1, Section 30 j Article 11, Section 33, nnd Article IX, Scctiou 1, prescribing uni formity aud equality "as the rulo of taxatiou, tho 8th Section of the (Jth Article- of the State constitution is as follows: "The corporate authorities of counties, townships, school districts, towns and villages mny bo vostcd with power to assess aud oollect taxes for corporate purposes ; such taxes to be uniform in respect to persons nnd property withia the jurisdiction of tho body imposing tho same:" This language seems too plainly to establish uniformity as tho rule of taxa tion to admit of doubt, nnd au inspection of the ordinance shows clearlv that this rule prescribed by the constitution has -.?.?r=_^R been violutcd. Nor is this repugnance to tbo constitution at all obviated by the fact tint all buukcrs and banks arc treated alike. Tbo principles laid down iu Cooley on Constitutional Limitations, 498, 5d3. 604, supported by a number of decisions in jsistjr States where the pro per construction ofsimilur constitution al provisions has been adjudicated, and the reasoning in the case of Knowltoo vs. the supervisors of^tock County, 1) Wisconsin, 410, and of he tSuprcme Court of the United States, Oilman vs the City of Sheboygan, 2 Black, 510, are conclusive. It is thorolore ordered that a writ of prohibition issue in accordance with tin* prayer of the suggestion, and that the relntors have execution for their costs. (Signed) T. II.COOKK. Columbia, S C, August 25, 1873. A similar decision was made i:> the cases of K. J. Scott 4\ Son, private bankers, and of D. Qambrill, broker. The city will appeal and tho cases be taken tip for final adjudication to tho Supreme Court. The lOiuing Cotton C rop. tiik future of prices' The following letter appears in the New "York Bulletin, of Monday last. While wc trust that the writer's antici pations of low prices for cotton m-iy not be realized there is much in the lector th.;t will interest our readers: Mobile, August 17. The favorable weather has continued to greatly improve our cotton crop pros pects ; from all quarters we receive .tone hut satisfactory aocouots, and from some localities the plant is represented as exceeding in vigor, development and fruiting tin; very best years within the memory of planters. We b tvo thus been carried into mid August, tho most critical month, with every circumstance to encourage the very beat hopes, and it from now forward nothing uuhVsccn occurs, id* a disastrous nature, and a fine dry autumn ensues, not unlikely after the rainy summer we have had, w; shall undoubtedly have an mindly lirg; pro duction. Ol course everybody indulges in calculations as to what crop figures 1874 may Bually turn up, the favorable estimate pretty much all OVOT the South being 4,000,000 bale*, and beyond this, should we have a bite kil ing frost. I perceive, from the report of the bureau of agriculture, at Washington, il.-t 0,650 OO ? M??s*> r cialtit.nloli ought to yield 4, ;00,000 bales iu the event of a protracted picking SOison into fail time, taking late yens as a batis, hu*? that some disaster mj^'ot cripple it, so a? to produce hut 3,700,0Jd t? 3,S>)0, MliU bales. I h awing n line between two extremes, we have'4 000,000 to 4,-J?O, 000 bales, which cither favorable or unfavorable circumstances will decide I during tho c lining lour ui uuhs. i'iling, then a crop which has every appealance of Lo ng a bountiful one, upon one that ccrtuiuly bus proved of respectable dimensions, in not there eve ry argument of plain logic in favor ot lower prices? This year wc have no horse disease, or at leust there is n?? ap prehension of one at present, and horses and mules do not fail us at a time when wo.require their assistance most. My expectations of low prices are fixed more particularly upon the period tnvirJ-ithe close of the year, when we may rcona hly expect heavy receipts. Our marke' i e mains quiet; the only purchases making arc for account af some icmian houses in New Orleans, in qualities principally ranging between ordinary ami good ordinary, at from 15 to 16c. Our stock has now been reduc ed to 7,000 bales, with a most sparing selection. N essels arc scarce, and I fear much that the extreme scarcity of sail ing craft will be otic of the features of the coming campaign, inasmuch as the lack of available bottom is the genera! complaint everywhere for some time past for maritime disasters during the past three years have been more frequent than is usually the case, and tho ship building that has been going on during the interval does not fill the gap thus made by one half. The luinhering in terests on the coast of the cottou States alone has became so vast that it absorbs a number of vessels beyond all precedent to curry the iuoacased production of our saw mills on the seaboard. Now, it si chances that this timber business seems to be a most profitable one, and that it can stund even exorbitant ratos of freight thus $13 per thousand to Cuba, 814 to Texas, S14a$lQ to Philndephin and Bos ton, and us much as $32 to Moutcvidoo, which is prccisoly on a par with j 1. for 1 cotton to Liverpool. Ex- Governor PaVton; of Alabama, in a letter to The South, says that the dividend paid by the Augusta cotton mills is over 20 per cent, a year. A cotton mill at Petersburg, Virginia, pays 25 per cent, a year. Ouo at Co lumbus, Georgia, pays over 20 per cent.' The mills in this State do at least as well. Aud at this vory time the Now England mills tiro struggling along with small profits, and even talk of working short time so as to reduce stocks and improve prices. 'J'ha difference between their foubie and sinking condition ?sd the vigorous activity of the Southern mills is accounted for by the "five cents a pound" advantage which tho Southern manufacturer has in his tilt with New Knglaqd.?North Carolina Paper.
