The two questions which head this ar ticle have been propounded to us, in substance, from various quarters. We propose to reply to them both together in this way, and in as brief and pointed a manner as justice to tbe snbjeot will allow. 1. The answer to the first question^ then, we say, in our judgment, depends entirely upon a correct answer to another question; and. that is, has Governor Bol lock, in his administration, been guilty of such malfeasance in office as to war rant an impeachment ? Has he violated any law ? Has he misused the funds or credit of the State ? Has be, in any way, corruptly abused the high trust imposed in him ? If ho has, then, most assured ly, in onr judgment, he ought to be im peached and removed. How tbe facts are we do not know. We prejudge no man. Bat upon the Legislature, as the Grand Inquest of the State, devolves tbe great and responsible duty of making a full and impartial investigation of tbe facts—the official acts of Governor Bullock; and if he be found to be criminally derelict, be should be brought to trial and punish ment. For the purpose of the investiga tion, we believe a Joint Committee of the two Houses, two of the Senate, and three of the House, composed of the ablest and best men in each body, should be raised, clothed with power to send for persons and papers, to whom the whole matter should he given in charge. This Committee should be chosen in in each House by a viva voce vote, and not appointed by tbe Presiding officer of either. The responsibility of the selec tion should rest upon the individual members of each House respectively, who will, in this way, be responsible to their constituents for the votes they may givo in the selection of the Committee, If, upon a thorough and impartial inves tigation, by this Committee, between Governor Bullock and the people of Georgia, no oot of liis shall be found which warrants an impeachment, then no movement on that line onght to be instituted. But if any such acts shall be found, then, in our judgment, no considerations of an extraneous nature whatever, ought to arrest or prevent his impeachment and removal. In relation to the second question, as to what should be done by the Legisla tire upon the subject of the lease of the- State Eoad, our opinion is, that all questions pertaining to the validity of this lease are of a judicial.character, and that the Legislature should do nothing in relation to it, except to provide by joint resolution a law for having these questions properly submitted to the Courts. The public sentiment of the State twelve months ago seemed to be very generally in favor of a lease of tbe road. The policy or impolicy of that mode of disposing, temporarily, of this property of the State is not, therefore, now a ques tion for tho consideration of the present Legislature. The only question upon this subject now properly before the country, is the legality of the lease which was made, and the only duty resting upon the Legislature ia regard to it, is to have that question properly settled by the Courts.

The doctor advertises that if the thief will re of the Atlantic will take their true posi tion, and the circumstances certainly warrant much higher figures than those which now prevail. Tne crop does not promise to exceed3,000,000 bales, though a late frost might enable the planters to save move. On the other hand, advices from India are not of an encouraging character by any means. The low range of prices last season naturally deterred the ryots from extending the acreage under cottom and the planting season proved vary unpropi- tious. The British Commission reports that the weather after the spring months proved too wet for planting in the central provinces and Berari, and since the seed has been put in the ground there has been entirely too much dry weather, and in many sections vegetation is being burned up. When these facts are taken into consid eration and allowance is, made for the in creased consumptive power of Europe this year, the position, of the market ap pears very strong, and. the conclusion is forced upon us that those engaged in the cotton trade will have the advantage this season of operating upon a rising market instead of a falling one.

Last evening, the. entire community was roused to a high degree of excite ment by the report that the Governor had resigned, and that Hon. Benj. Con ley, the President of tho last Senate, had been sworn in as his successor by Chief Justice Lochrane. . We publish the official correspondence, as well as the Governor’s address to his political friends, in which he pretends to give his Teasons for resigning, in another column this morning. This step is equivalent to a plea of guilty. If he had remained here and openly confessed it, the public mind would hardly be any more firmly impres sed with its truth, while he would have received more sympathy and respect by all classes. When he left, it was an nouncedthat he would return to-night. It is now stated by his friends that he will return in two weeks. We have al ready intimated a suspicion—a half prophecy, that he would never return if he could help it. bv many. Judge Conley was sworn in as Govern or yesterday at 3 o’clock.

His Honor was engaged in a higher tribunal yesterday morning, and dele gated his Pythias, Lowry, to present his compliments and entertain his guests.— Lowry is a connoisseur in drawing-room etiquette. He receives and dismisses His Honor’s company with an ease, self- possession and dignity that at once hon ors himself and flatters the guests. Many of them, prompted by the purest dictates of patriotism, offer contributions of five and ten dollars to the city government, which is never refused. Pythias, also anxious to prolong their stay, often presses his guests to visit the public buildings, and his solicitations to visit the calaboose and jail are often so urgent that it would be positively uncourteous to refuse. All honor to our city magis trates. A HOST of attorneys, witnesses and spectators were present to witness the final disposi tion of a nuisan'ce in the form of a slaugh ter pen out near the barracks. The question was “cussed and dis-cussed”un til Lowry, uncertain whether it was a nuisance to the feitizens or not, was satisfied the affair was a nuisance to him, and so advised the defendant to emigrate to a locality where the social habits of dead swine and deceased cattle was duly appreciated. But he had no idea of be ing ostracised; so he appealed to a higher tribunal for permission to continue his traffic in dead pork and deceased beef.

Bullock. From the New Orleans Picayune of Saturday. Probable Future of the Cotton Market. The range of prices for cotton contin ue to rule unusually low, considering the position of the staple and the prospects of supplies in the future. The .quota tions are not now so high as one month since, by jc. or more, though there has been no material improvement in the crops, and the supply of American pressing on the market has not been large. Liverpool, the great authority in the cotton market, is just now loaded with East India cotton of last year’s crop, and and prices there are depressed in conse quence. The low quotations transmitted from Liverpool to every quarter ojf the globs, exercises a controlling influence upon prices in other markets, and the staple therefore continues to sell at rates which may be considered as dispropor tionately low in view of the present pros pects of supply and demand. As we have said before, the supply of East India cotton offered pi the Liver pool and Continental markets at this season of the year, naturally exercises a bad effect upon the American staple. This is more strictly true this season, for spinnera had provided liberal stocks of American cotton to ran in with the poor er grades, find are, therefore; more inde pendent than for years past. This depressing cause, however, is bnt temporary, and will be removed at an early date, when cottons “rom this side “They sat upon tho front door mat, Whore softly shone the moon, And listened to the music that Came from the beer saloon. His manly arm did round her twine, Their Ups in kisses met— And when he asked ‘Wilt thou be mine?’ She said, ‘I will, yon bet.* ” But a policeman came up about this time and said the gentleman was perjur ing himself, he had sworn eternal fealty to whisky. He was tom from his dulci- na’s charms, conveyed to His Honor’s Court, where he said he was home-sick, as well as love-sick. Lowry offered him the princely hospitalities of the calaboose as a consolation in his desolation. We understand he wanders about the echo ing corridors of that stately pile mourn ing— “Only to see your face again, Only to touch your hand,— Only to hear your voice again, Ere I go to tho silent land! Only to know yon will one day see, When the sun is sinking low, A shady nook, near the snidit brook, Where the soft winds come and go. Only to know you will think one day. Though never the thought yon tell, ‘Ah! for a love that I threw away Fo this one loved me well!’ ” SARAH SUDDS got pretty deep into the suds. She was charged with “d(ucking) c(ats) in quag mires) and p(eddling) l(ime).” She was invited to sojourn in the lock-up for thirty days. (Lowry does not fancy this revolution in commerce.) TTTF.

They also wish that each should work under the supervision of an architect, and not for contractors, as the latter charge exorbitant prices for work and say the masons compel them to do so. Salt Lake, Oct. 29.—Tlie prisoners ire quartered comfortably. Elder Geo. O. Cannon arrived this morning from San Francisco, and preached this even ing in the large Tabernacle to an audi ence, numbering at least 10,000. He counseled bis hearers to abstain from any act of violence, and submit to tbe law.— God would protect them and deliver them from their persecutors. Tlie crusade against them, he said, would only strengthen and glorify them iu the end. Their church could not be overturned; their faith was the inspiration of the Di vine Spirit, and would endure. Elder Pratt was not so conservative. He did not want any whining Judge to say to him as he did to Hawkins, “I am sor ry for yon.” He wanted uo sympathy from any Federal official. He was ready to go to jail for twenty years, bnt he did not want any sympathy from such a source. He predicted that God would totally overthrow and. annihilate the tho present prosecutors of the Mormon people. Nothing further has been heard from or seen of Hyde, the apostle. Chicago, October 30.—The Legislature has passed a joint resolution authorizing the Secretary of State to prepare a list of the law boeks stored in the basement of the State House, preparatory to offering them for sale to the Chicago lawyers. The Tribune appeals to the generous in behalf of the sufferers of Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota. Probably 50,- 000 persons in northern Wisconsin and Michigan have been stripped of every possession. Many have been rendered sick, blind or crippled by the ordeal which will necessarily make them objects of charity for some time to come. Where whole families and whole communities were involved in a common ruin, there are no neighbors nor relatives upon whom, as in Chicago, some of the suffer ers can fall back for assistance. The officers of the Bricklayer’s Union assert that that trade has taken no action regarding wages, and the advance in wa ges has been owing to the competing bids of employers, who offered larger wages to journeymen to leave their former em ployers.

Philadelphia, October 30. — The steamer Hoplen, built for the United States Coast Survey, will sail to-morrow for Boston, where Professor Agassiz and party will be taken on board and start on an exploring expedition around Cape Horn and up the Pacific Coast.

Cincinnati, October 30—Andrew Sterr, a farmer living six miles east of Duppas, Ohio, was confronted in his own house by a robber who presented a revolver.— Sterr knocked the revolver from the rob ber’s band and stabbed him to death with a pocket knife. The Coroner’s jury ex onerated him. Albany, Ga., October 30.—An injunc tion was granted Saturday against sundry parties who have seized property of the Brunswick and Albany Railroad. Screv en has been confirmed by the Court as receiver. New York, October 30.—Forty pris oners, confined for debt in the Ludlow street jail, were taken before Judge Barnard, of the Supreme Court this morning, to have their cases examined. Charles Wood, aged 77, and Wm. John son, a negro, were discharged. The re mainder of the prisoners were directed to prepare to prepare statements of their cases by Thursday next, for submission to the Court.
