Wc leave it to the sense of all just men to say whether the Republicans of this " own were fairly treated lust Tues day evening in being denied the right of speech and the right of apno-il. There were two calls, one*for a Mass Mcctin?, nnd on-1 lor a meeting to nomi nate an Independent ticket. Under the first call?that for n Mass Meeting? Republicans were at least ootitlcd to be hvartl. V? e regret sincerely ft be compelled to announce that the. Supreme Court has decided in favor of the rclators in the celebrated Morton-IHiismqndanuui enso, and has ordered that the Comptroller General levy n tax solhcient to pay the iutcvest on the Cre bonds mentioned in the j rocccding* therein. Our only chance now is with the Legislature, which meditipa will como to our aid in the spirit of the platlorm on which tbe Republican party was success ful last year. In the- Tinten of the 2I?t appeared the following notice: "?ATTENTION a I.I. ?

The notice in tho NKWd was read, and the meeting organized by the election of Cnpt. Janus F. Izlar as- Chairman and Mr. W. K. Crook as Sccrotary. Mr. T. C. Albcrgotti moved tlmt the nominations- be mado vica vom and not through a nominating committee, but the motion failed. ? A motion by \v. J. DcTrovifle, Ksq., was then carried, that a committco of five be appointed to nominato a muni eipal ticket, to be voted for nt the im pending town election. The Chairman appointed the following gentlemen to serve- on the committee : W J DeTrcvillc, Samuel Dibble, H Riggs, .Joseph MoNnmnrn, J P Hurley. All white and all Democrats except perhaps Mr Riggs, as to whnw present polities wo are uninformod. Iloroupou Mr Frank Millet (colored) aroso and wanted to know whether the meeting was ono for citizens generally or one for white men only. This was a eloso hit. It brought M r l>ibble to his legs in n moment, who Very shrewdly and promptly moved that two more names bo added to the committco to give nn opportunity for expressing themselves to those who wcjo not.commit ted to the Republican ticTTct. "All tho Democrats at once saw the pp^pt, and the motion was carriod, whorengpo, after some roflcction by the Chairman, Messrs Frank Millet and January -Bnltzigcr (J^pth colored) were placed on the com mittee, the members of which then retired for consultation. A gentleman who considered that the call in the Times for a Mass Meetin;/ was sufficiently comprehensiye^to em br.acc nil citizens, but who had*- been a few minutes before informed by the Chairman that those who were commit ted to the Republican ticket had no voice in the present meeting, hereupon arose and asked the Chairman (in the present tense) whether he rnled that he, the speaker, "had DO voice here." The Chrirman stated that he so ruled, whereupon the genllem in appsalod from the decision of the Cl,nir. The Chair peremptorily, and without, at that time, giving nny reason, refused to entertain tho appeal, whereupon the speaker took his scat. Another gentleman hero arose nnd, stating that he was not committed to the previous nomination, offered n motion, which the chair refused to put to the house The speaker appealed but his ap ' peal was peremptorily disallowed by the chairmm, 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 peace and harmony of the meeting. The gentleman who hud fltst been denied the right of appeal, hereupon rose to a question of privelege, which the chair declined to hear. The gentle man then elated that he had no part or sympathy with the alle; cd plan to dis turb the meeting and requested to be excepted from the gcmmil charge made by the Chairmau. The Chairman then stated that his charge did not include the speaker. Remarks were made by Messrs J. P Mays and I. C. Whitimorc, nnd on motion of Mr. Moseley tho mooting then adjourned subject to tho Chair man's call.

Ry our special telegram from Colntn bin, it appears that the Supreme Court has ordurcd n mandamus to tho Comp troller General, "commanding him in all respects, -'as prayod for in the said five petitions and "suggestions" of Morton, Rliss ft Co. In other words, tho Comp troller is directed to fix the taxation oco essary to raise a sum sufficient to pay the arrears of interest on tho five bonds sued upon. Rut, wo suppose, this is intended to SCttlo the point that was in dispute as to tho power or duty of tho Comptroller to fix tho rato of taxation, without an express direction from tho Legislature. Ry what procons of reason ing the court Ins arrived at this conclu - sion, can bo only matter of conjecture, ontil wo see the opinion, which is said to covar one hjundrod and fifteen pages of logal cap. A'rosult so contrary to tho general sad Well-considered opinion of I tjio Har of thciStato, cauuot but strike ' our people witji amazement, even in these days j&?-strnugo aud startling things. \Vhon* the opinion is published wc^rill be*in better position to judge wbcthor something may yet bo d >uc by legisiati; s or jadiciul action to rescue the people from tho colloctioo of this ruinous tax.

The issues in this case are entirely of law, and were argu? d before tue, on the lfith instant, by 31 r. Voutnaus for rc I a tori and Mr. Tradcwcll, city attorney, respondent. They arise en the answer of "The City of Columbia," a municipal corporation, to a rule issued on the application of the rclators to mo in the absence of the judge of the Fifth Circuit from the State, requiring ciusc to be shown why a writ ol prohibition should not i?sue in accordance with the prayer of the rclators? suggestiju.

Tbe fuggestion sets out various grounds of prohibition, all of which are contested by the Ciiy id Columbia Some ol the questions involved are not free from doubt ; but the view taken us to the lint groun 1 relied on in the sug gestion renders it unnecessary to pass upon any other issue* than those involved in tho pleadings in regard thereto. That ground is : That the City of Columbia ??had no right to ordain said ordinance, or to require payment by the rclntor^ for the issuing of licenses to them ns 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 by way of taxation, and expressly limited to assessment and collection ol taxes lor corporate purposes, cqu il and uniform in respect to persons and pro perty, as appears by sections 3G, 37 and 41 of article 1 , section 33 of article 2, and sections 1, Sand [t of article 1>. aiid various other provisions of the const it u tion of this State, nil of which have been vklatcd by said ordinance, it is alleged." Both the pleadings anil tbo argnnn tit concede wliat is unquestionably correct: That this ?idinauoa assesses, nnd the executions are for the collection of taxes, for tho purpose of raising revenue. In addition to I he provisions of Article 1, Section 30 ; Article 11, Section 83, and Article IX, Section 1, prescribing uni formity aud equality 'as tho rule of taxation, tbo 8th Section of the 9th A i tide of the State constitutiou is as follow?: "The corporate authorities of countios, townships, school districts, towns and villages may bo vested with power to assess aud collect taxes for corporate purposes ; such taxes to bo uniform in respect to parsons and property within the jurisdiction of tho body imposing tho same:" This language seems too plainly to ostablisb uniformity as tho rule of taxa tion to admit of doubt, and an inspection of the ordinance shows clearly that this rule prescribed by the coustitution has -_n - been violated. Nor is this repugnance to tlio constitution at all obviated by the fact, that nil haukori and banks arc treated alike. The principles laid down iu Cooley on Constitutional Limitations, ?193,503, 604, supported by a number of decisions in sist-T States whore .die pro per construction of similar constitution al provisions has been adjudicated, a'id tho reasoning in the case of KnowllJu vs. the supervisors ofliock County, 1) Wisconsin, 410, and of he tSupreme Court of the I'nited States, Oilman vs the City of Sheboygan, 2 Black, 510, are conclusive. It is thcrolore ordered that a writ of prohibition issue in accordance with the prayer of the suggestion, and that the relators have execution for their costs. (Signed) T. II. COOKK.

The following letter appears in the New "York Hullcliu, of Monday lust. While wc trust that the writer's antici pations of lo\v prices for cotton m ay not be realized there is much iu the letter that will interest our readers: Mobile, August 17. The favorable weather has continued to greatly improve our cotton crop pros pects ; from all quarters wo receive ;iono hut satisfactory accouots, and from some localities the plant is represented as exceeding in vigor, developin int and fruiting the very best years within the memory id' planters. We hive thus been carried into mid August, thu most critical month, with every circumstance to cucourugc the very bj.st hopes/and if from now forward nothing Unfcseen occurs, of a disastrous nature, and a fine dry autumn ensues, not unlikely after tho rainy summer wc h ive had, woahajl VQ luubtt dly h ive an u t->n illy I irgo pro ? duction. Oi coursouvorybody indulges ; in calculations as to what crop figures IS74 may liu;:lly turn up, the favorable estimate pretty much alt over the South being 4,000,000 bales, and beyond this, should wc have ? lite killing frost. I perceive, from the report of the bureau of agriculture, at Washington, tl.-t U,C5U oo ? **r?a .... I t- Bul?irwV|o0 ought to yield 4, 00,000 hales iu the i \ out of a protracted picking >e tson into full time, taking late yens as a basis, but that sotuo disaster might cripple-it, so a? to produce but 3,700,0 I i u 3,800, 000 hales. Drawing it line between two extremes, we have 4 000,000 to 4,250, 000 bales, which either favorable or unfavorable circumstances will decide ! during tho Coming tour miulhs. 1'iling, then a crop which has every appearance of Lo ng a bountiful one, upon one that certainly has proved of respectable dimensions, in not there eve ry argument of plain logic in favor of lower prices? This year wo have no horse di>ea>e. or at leust there is no ap prehension of one at present, and horses ami mules tlo not fail us at a time when wc require their nssiatanee most. My expectations of low prices are fixed in ire particularly upon the period InvirJsthe close of the year, when we may rcoua bly expect heavy receipts. Our market lemaius quiet; the only purchases making arc for account of some lcniiatt houses in New Orleaus, in qualities principally ranging between ordinary and good ordinary, at from 15 to 10c. Our stock has now been redue ed to 7,000 bales, with a most sparing selection. N essels are scarce, and I fear much that the extreme scarcity of sail ing craf t will be one of the features of the Coming campaign, inasmuch as tho lack of available bottom is the geoera! complaint everywhere for some time past for maritime disasters during the past three years have been more frequent than is usually the case, and the ship building that has been going on during the interval does not till the gap thus made by one half. The lumbering in terests on the coast of the Cottou States alone has became so vast that it absorbs u number of vessels beyond all precedent to carry the iueaeased production of our saw mills on the seaboard. Now, it si chances that this timber business soems to be a most protituhle one, nnd that it can stand even exorbitant rates of freight thus $13 per thousand to Cuba, -Ml to Texas, $14s$l(i to 1'hiladephia ami Bos ton, and us much as $32 to Montevideo, which is precisely on a par with |d. for cotton to Liverpool. in???????????? ii Ex- Governor Button, of Alabama, in a letter to The. South, says that the dividend paid by the Augusta cotton mills is ovor 20 per cent, n year. A cottou mill at Petersburg, Virginia, pays 25 per cent, a year. One at Co lumbus, Georgia, pays over 20 per cent. Tho mills in this State do at least as woll. And at this very timo the Now England mills ore struggling along with small profits, and oven talk of working short time so as to reduce stocks and improve prices. The difference between their focble and sinking condition and the vigorous activity of the Southern mills is accounted for by the "five cents a pound" advantage which the Southern manufacturer has in his tilt with New Kngluud.?North Carolina Paper.
