Grantville. The First Buie of Cotton—A Revival—The Herald. Grantville, Gl, August 12, 1873. To the Editors of tiie Herald: Dear Sirs: We send you the first open boll of cotton that has made its appearance in our market. It came from the plantation of Messrs. Stafford ,t Bro., near Grantville. These energetic and thoroughgoing gentle men have been the first to bring in a new bale of cotton for the last two years, and the indi cations are that they will be still ahead this season. The crop reports through this section are generally satisfactory. No “shedding of squares” or caterpillars yet complained ol'. An interesting revival is going on in the Methodist church at this place. Large crowds of eager seekers daily flock to the alter, and a goodly number have already joined. The Herald is daily becoming more popu lar with our people. Three weeks ago there were only six copies taken at this office; now there are fourteen. A paper so boldly, fear lessly and ably edited as the Herald caunot fail to receive the patronage of the people. A Subscriber. The Barlow-Woodson Tragedy. A PRETTY CLEAR CASE OF JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE. from the Omaha Bee, Aug. 8. The readers of the Bee will recollect read " ing in this paper on January 22, an acconn 1 of the killing of Dr. Wolfe, deputy post" master at Wyoming in this State, by one Me Waters, assisted, as it was said, by Wood- son and one Lacey; at least they had some thing to do with the affair. One Barlow, who was present when one of the shots fired by McWaters hit Dr. Wolfe, had, at the com mencement of the quarrel, taken the part of Dr. Wolfe, or pretended to do so, by firin some shots at McWaters. McWaters was some time ago arrested, and is now awaiting lus trial. Yesterday another homicide, growing out of the Wyoming postofflee affair, occurred at Percival station, thirty-two miles below Oma ha on the Kansas City, St. Joe and Council Bluffs railroad, in Iowa. The parties there to were Woodson and Barlow, the latter be ing killed by the former.. The particulars of the affair, as learned from an employe oi the railroad, are about as follows: After the ex citement arising out of the Wyoming tragedy had somewhat subsided, Woodson quietly sold out his property in Nebraska, and pur chased a place at Percival. It seems that some bitter quarrel had taken place between Woodson and Barlow about the Dr. Wolfe affair. Barlow claimed that Woodson had done some false twearing against him. Bar- low recently learned of the whereabouts of WoodsoD, and accordingly went to Percival with the avowed intention of killing him. He arrived there two or three days ago, and pub licly exhibiting a revolver, expressed his in tentions. Woodson was informed of Bar low’s threats, and therefore kept out of the way. Barlow began a thorough search of the place for his intended victim, and yesterday, about noon, be ended it by giving up his life. Woodson being in mortal fear of his own life, determined to settle the matter one way oi the other—either he or his enemy must go under the sod. So he procured a rifle, and carefully loading it, he lay in ambush for Barlow, and when he made his appearance Woodson deliberately took aim and fired. Barlow dropped in his very footsteps, having been shot through the heart and instantly killed. Woodson remained a few hours id the place without being arrested, and then disappeared, and has not been seen or heard of since. The general feeling of the citizens is that Barlow met a deserved death, as he had been warned to leave Woodson alone as he was a quiet but dangerous man. From the above statement it would seem that the killing of Barlow was a case of justifiable homicide, as under the circumstances it was life or death with Woodson. A Serious Sequel to the Epi- zooty. HOW THE BU.I HESS OP AH ENTEBPB1MKG CHI NES* EMPLOYMENT OFEICE WAS BROKEN UP. From tbe Sen Franciaco Chronicle. Daring the prevalence of the epizooty among the horses in this city an enterprising market man seenred the services of ten able- bodied Celestials to draw bis wagon through the streets. This was merely a sharp adver tising dodge, and waH only done for two hoars of one day. The Chinaman were engaged by Henry Stivers, a lumber dealer, from Ah Qnong, business manager lor a Chinese house on Sacramento Btreet. This Chinaman has attained great celebrity among his countrymen, and among white people for his learning, and is commonly called -'the scholar." He speaks oar language fluently, and reads and writes it with remarkable facil ity. It seems that the novel employment which he found for ten idle Celestials, has brought him into marked disrepute with his countrymen, and socially ostracised him, if it has not actually endangered bis life. A day. or two after this street parade of prancing Chinamen drawing a market wagon, which was subsequently pictured in the Kastern and London illustrated papers, a jocular poster was issued by some in dividual Chinaman, directing any Ce lestial in need of “ good fat horses" to call at the establishment of Ah Quong. The six companies took a more serious view of the matter. They issued a proclamation warning all Chinamen against hiring them selves out as horses, as it was degrading and beneath their dignity.* The proclamation also forbid all Chinamen from having any thing to do with Ah Qnong. Tbo subject seems to have rankled in the Chinese breast, and QuoDg received letters threatening him with death. He wo* forced to leave the Chi nese quarters and take up his residence among white people. He announces his intention of returning to China shortly, his commercial genins not being sufficiently appreciated by his countrymen here. Deshohia, Iowa, August 14.187:1. The anti-monopoly Convention nominated Andrew Porter for Governor, and Frederick O’Donerly, Lt. Governor. The resolutions favor a tariff for revenue. Only about one third of the counties were represented. THF FARMERS’ WAR. The Granges Arraying themselves Against the Merchants' Unions. Richmond Va., August 14. 1873. The farmers’ granges bare been established in con siderable numbers in Virginia, and applications are being sent to the Centre of tbe grange organization here for detailed information. A mercantile organization, which has become very obnoxious to the farmers, facilitates the establishment of these granges. The merchants have a combination by which they seok to maintain uniformly high prices upon all articles. In all the rural districts of the State the workings of this combiration have long been very oppressive, and the grange question is now being ae- tvely discussed as a means of relief. WORKINGMEN’S WAR. The Trades Unions of New York Will Insist on the Eight Hour Law. New Yoke, August 13, 1873. The Tribune furnishes the following: “The various trades unions are making arrangements in a general way to bold a mass meeting in September to discuss tbe present aspects of the Isbor movement and to en deavor, if possible, to bring about a more general ob servation of the eight-hour rule. The working meu complain that little by little the observance of eight honrs for a day’s work is being disregarded by em ployers. Not long ago one of the prominent carpenters and builders of th; city was waited by the committee representing men in his employ, and asked whether or not the association of employ- had not agreed to ignore the eight-hour rule and return gradually and quietly to the ten-hoar system. He replied that he knew of no such arrangement. It had not been discussed at the meetings of the asso ciation. At the same time he could not but confess that many of the employers who had giveu tbe eight hour plan a fair trial had come to regard it as a fail ure, and gone back to tbo ten-hour system. Inquiry shows that in certain trades the eight-hour plan is almost entirely ignored. This is the care with the piano-forte manufacturers’ cabinet makers, carvers, upholsterers and iron workers. In these trades there were so many employers who refused to co-opoi&te with the working that s majority of those who acceded to the de mand for eight hours have been compelled to return to the old system, or leave the field altogether. Some workmen are in favor of a general strike, and wish to have those who are working eight honrs cease alto gether until employers who are unwilling to grant a reduction of honrs of labor shall be brought to terms. This has been denounced as absurd and suicidal by the trades, whose numbers and organization compel a gen eral observance of the eight hour rule by tbeir em ployers. Nothing definite has yet been determined THE PROTECTIONISTS. The Tariff Leaven Working in PennsyIvania. Washington, August 13, 1873. A recent letter from a prominent Pennsylvania pro tectionist received here shows that the tariff men are expecting a severs contest next winter, and doubt their ability to maiutaln their ground. The recent ex portation of iron from this country to England and Canada, much of which has been exported from Chi cago, is a phenomenon which causes them annoyance and numerous inquiries are raised as to tbe explana tion of these exportations. Liberal Maes Convention. Bangob, Mf. , August 14, 1873. The Liberal Mass Convention, of this city, was or ganized this forenoon. A Committee on Business was appointed, when tbe convention adjourned till two o’clock. Leas than forty people in the ha 1. California Democratic Convention. 8aS FnANCT.ee o, August 14, 1873.

The machinery is slauding upright, though it is rusted and somewhat broken. The boiler broken in. There is nothing but spoiled coffee ly ing in tbe bow of the boat, but nothing seems worth saving, except tbe machinery and old iron. Madrid, August 14, 1873. Further computation is said to have arisen fiom the interference of Prussian frigates In Spanish affairs. Eight hundred Spanish sailors who were aent by the Government from Alicante to Eacambato, to take possession of the iron-clais Vithoria and Alamanca, were refused possession by Cspt. Werner, on the ground that there was no authority from Berlin to deliver them up. The sailors were obliged to remain in a position where they were menaced and placed at the msrey of the Insurgents; therefore, Werner de clared that tbe aailors were under his protection. The Insurgents declare that the steamer must leave Eecambato, or they will open fire upon her without regard to the Prussians. CUBA. Tbe Captain General Proclamates. Havana, August 14, 1873. The Captain General published to day a telegram from the Colonial Minister of Spain, counseling citi- i to discard all fears as to the consequences of the projected reform in Cuba.

Governor Smith made a speech before the farmers to-day. It was said to be the fiocst effort of his life. He look decided gronnd in favor of the Patrons of Husbandry. He said, “I am on general principles, opposed to secret political organizations, but if I under stand the objects of the Patrons of Husband ry, I am with them heart and soul, and bid them God speed.” Malcolm Johnson was elected Secretary of the State Agricultural Society, vice Dan’l Barnett, resigned. George W. Adair, of Forsyth, was elected to a Vice Presidency, and Mr. Middlebrooks, of Pike, placed npon the Executive Commit tee. The misunderstanding between Yancey and Colquitt, is adjusted, and no bitterness exists between these two excellent gentlemen. The firit meetiug of the State Grange, or ganized on the 8th of May in Macon, was held here during the session of the Agricultura Convention. Forty granges were represent ed, and the meeting was enthusiastic. The Macon Advertiser, Baruesville Ga zette, Saudersville Herald, Cuthbert Ap peal, and W. E. H. Searcy, of Griffin, were candidates for election as “ Orgaus of the Granges.” Mr. Taylor, the Secretary of the State Grange, is openly for the Herald for this position, aud he is backed by a great many of the Granges. Leaving the Herald out of consideration, the Monroe Adv- tiser is decidedly tbo most popular with the Granges, as it should be. Gov. Smith’s speech will be published, lie especially advocated the passage of strict vagrant laws for Georgia. It created intense enthusiasm. A resolution was passed asking the Legis lature to regulate the number of pounds of cotton seed to the bushel. Auother one (by Hardeman), asking the Legislature to pass a law for the better regulation of labor, fcnd for the enforcement of labor contracts. The convention adjourned to-day at 12 o’clock, to meet in Columbus next October, and the members went down on a special train at 3 o’clock. Athens outdid herself in hospitality.

Correspcndenoeof the Baltimor American The gentlemen among the wealthier clang of Vienna are remarkably lino looking, beiDg generally tall, well-formed and graceful in tbeir movements. They also dress with ex cellent taste aDd elegance, and aro wholly different in appearance from the .American idea of German characteristics. Not one of your fAir readers would be able to decide from their appearance whether they wero Germaus or Boston Yankees, except they have more ruddy complexions, and aro gene rally more robust in their physical develop ment. The officers of the army, ot whom thore&rc thousands in Vienna, are seldom less than eix feet in height, and are, as a body, tho fittest formed men that can bo found iu any part of tho globe. They dress in tight-fitting uniforms, and, us wo once before remarked, movo along tbo streets with tho air of men who know themselves to be ob jects of admiration. At tli e Reidhof to-night about thirty of them wero taking their sup pers, and every one of them would bo claused He has forty acres of the precious grain, which in riding through he cannot touch the ta&sel with his hand.

The Board of Education of this couuty, will hold the election for teachers for the coming scholastic year on Saturday morning, at 10 o’clock, at their rooms in the cou*t house building. From the scarcity of necessary buildings, it is not a certainty that there will be any more elected than will nc needed for the east Macou school. A Fox Chase. We had a regular old fashioned fox chase on Cherry street. Benner’s Iteyuard not to be outdone by his companion in captivity, Bruin, (who took his prome nade Sunday evening, and in a respectable manner, as became the day,) slipped his moorings in the cool of the evening, as though he fancied he could make bet ter time when not so oppressively hot. But, unfortunately, he reckoned not of the breakers ahead, and was serenely sailing along when he was discovered by P. H. Ward's big dog, made a dash at him, when up the street, they bringing all to doors and windows and throwing life into the before deserted street. He was brought to a bait a very few moments after the dogs 6cented the game. A (luecr Go-Cart. Yesterday the denizens of the Brown House and neighborhood were entertained by the perigrinations ot a llliputian cart, made of a cigar box, drawn by a couple of rodents that had just been persuaded to leavo their little ne9ts by the persuasive fingers of a couple of little nigs at the barber shop. They had hitched them up and with a great “var mint” of a bug with an unmentionable name to per sonate the driver, they soon collected quite a crowd around them.
