The Result Still Uncertain. The returns of the election come in slow ly anil the race between Gordon and Bul lock is very close. The Radicals are trying, in every possible way, to create the impression that Bullock is elected, and, it isnotimprobable.thatthey will make out the result that way. The Opinion of the 30th foots up the re sult in ninety-one counties as follows : Bullock, 03,163 Gordon, G2,51G For Constitution, 63,428 Against, 53,086 Glynn. Camden and Charlton, gives 95G majority for Bullock, which, added to his other vote, gives him a majority of 1,G03. We have a majority of about twelve in the Legislature on joint ballot. Tribute of Respect, Mount Hickory Lodge, No. 133. We are called upon to deplore the loss of another one of our brethren. Brother Elisha Hendon, died March the 6th, 18G8. Brother H. was a true Mason, a good Christian—he was kind in all his in tercourse, and charitable to all. He pos sessed 'eminently that charity that thiuketh no evil; at least, he made it a rule to speak evil of no one. Brother H. had no enemies He died as lie had lived. He left this world in great peace, and with the greatest composure, bid his weeping family, one by one, a final adieu. Ills son, Hutson, Hendon, has been ta ken from among us. He was a young man, and was called away in the morning of life. But, while we deplore tlieir death, we bow with submission to tllfe edicts of our Grand Master above. Resolved, That we tender to the be reaved family our kindest sympathies, and a copy of this tribute. Resolved, That a copy of this Tribute of Respect be forwarded to the Rome Cou rier for publication, and also, that it be recorded on the Minutes of this Lodge. A W. II. Tweedkll Wm. Hicks, S- Committee R. P. Neal’ Tribute of Respect. Mount Hickory Lodge, No. 133. “In the midst of life, we are iu death.” We see demonstrations of the above every day that wo live. Death invades all ranks and brings all down to a level. Death has invaded our fraternity, aud taken from our midst our beloved brother, D. W. Pope, who died February 1st, 1868, iu the 34th year of his age. Brother Pope was gener ous, kind and indulgent, in all his inter course, and whatever imperfections lie may have had, let the mantle of charity hide them; and'let us emulate his good ac tions. He has left a heart-stricken wid ow aud three dear children to mourn his death. Resolved, That while we deplore his death, we bow with submission to the Di vine will. Resolved, That we tender the afflicted family our sympathies, and also forward them a copy of this preamble and resolu tions. Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upou the Minutes of the Lodge. John McClure, A J. Ramey, \ Committee. J. A. Tate, ) From Washington. Washington, April 28.—The following is the text of Mr. Sumner’s proposition: Whfreas, it is provided in the Consti tution of the United States that on trial of impeachment by the Senate, no person shall be convicted without, the concurrence of two-thirds of the members present; hut this requirement of two-thirds Is not extended to the judgments on such trials, which re main subject to tne general law that a ma jority prevail—therefore, in order to remove any doubt therefrom— Ordered, That any question which may arise with regard to the judgment shall be determined by a majority of the members present. The following are among the sentences of Manager Williams’ speech: ‘“Look at the bloody carnival of New Orleans, aud show mercy to loyalty and innocence, and not to treason.” After Williams concluded, Butler ex plained the managers’ connection with the -i//« Vela affair. Alluding to Nelson’s re ference thereto, Butler said it was not only a suppression of the truth, but a suggestion of falsehood. Nelson replied that this was not the time to measure characters with Butler, that could he done some other time. Nelson did not think he would suffer by the com parison. Considerable excitement ensued. Logan wanted to say something, but Senator Conkling, who was sitting near him, said. “General, be quiet.” The affair subsided with much suppressed wrath. Mr. Evarts commenced, and his first accent hushed the excited assemblage. He spoke to adjournment, and will continue to morrow. Indications are that Mr. Davis will uot be tried at the next term. t is stated on public—but doubtful au thority—that General Grant has advised General Schofield to decline the War Department, and request the President to withdraw his name. Full Cabinet to-day. A synopsis of Mr. Evart’s speech is utter ly impossible. Alluding to the parties to the trial, the House as the accuser, the President as the accused, the Senate as j urors, and the Chief Justice presiding, Mr. Evarts said , “we want no volunteers. Let no one raise so much as a little finger to jostle the contestants. ” Arguing the judicial character of the proceedings, Evarts said, in reply to all the managers who profess to speak in behalf of all the people, he would reply in one sen tence, representing but one voice, “Thou slialt not take the name of the laird thy God in vain. ” General Schofield has issned an order fix ing the quarantine regulations for ves sels coming to Virginia from infected ports. From Augusta. Augusta, April 28.—The un-official count of 90 counties give Bullock a majori ty of 2,268. There are yet 42 counties to hear from, which will probably lessen Bul lock’s majority, and thereby leave the re sult of the election very donbtful. From New Orleans. New Orleans, April 29.—Special Agent Sloanake yesterday seized three large breweries at Houston. Texas, valued at 8100,000, for violation of Internal Rev enue law; also recovered a large portion of tobacco and spirits stored in the warehouse at Galvcstou. From Augusta. Augusta, April 29.—Eighty-four coun ties gives the Senate 13 Democrats and eleven Radicals; in the House 69 Dcrno- crals aud 46 Radicals. Two negroes elect ed to the Senate and twelve to the House. It will take the official count to decide the choice for Governor. From Tennessee. Cincinnati, April 30.—A special to the Commercial says that Browulow, with out Legislative authority, but urged by let ters from Senator Fowler and members of the House, has determined to call out the militia to suppress violence. JUDGE CURTIS. Impressions of the Man and his Great Speech In the Senate. An Able and aged Minister, Gone to Ills Rest. Rev. John W.

At Atlanta, it is proposed to purchase the "Lym House.” a magnificent dwelling, to he presented to the Bishop on the same conditions. Flection News. Augusta, April 30.—One hundred and nine counties give Bullock 7,689 majority. Republicans also claim the Senate. Aaron A. Bradley, of Boston, is one of the ne groes elected to the Senate from Savannah. As he was expelled from the Convention for being an unexpired convict of Sing Sing, it is believed wiil not be allowed to take his seat in the Legislature. New York Market. New York, April 30.—Cotton market opened very dull and closed steady. Sales 2,600 bales at 321. Wheat active at a de cline. Corn, yellow, Southern, 81 20.— Mess pork 829 75. Lard 181 to 191. Su gar active; Muscovado 11 to 121. From Washington. Washington, April 29.—In the House, a resolution was offered to print five hun dred copies of the Southern Constitutions. In the impeachment Court, Mr. Sum ner moved the adoption of resolutions of censure against Nelson for using language naeiy re provoKC a aim. .jc « tions. Nelson produced a letter, dated March 9, with Butler and Logan’s signatures, re garding Alta Vela. Butler desired to see the letter. Nelson desired some pledge that it would he returned. Chase made some objection, when Nelson said he would prefer depositing them with the Secretary of the Senate, who could show them to Butler. Here the matter stopped. Evarts proceeded. Radical Destruction op Commerce. Radical government, or rather misgov- ernment, lias destroyed, or nearly destroyed, three of the great interests of this country. 1st—Sugar. Before the war the census showed thatf. man to mao, Louisiana pro duced more values than even Vermont, the next highest State in the scale of produc tion. History records few examples of so stupendous and rapid a destruction of a Jr cat branch of national industry as has acfallcn the sugar interest of the United States. The crop of 1861-62 was one of sugar estates returned as lif operation vfr Significant Concession.—Thurlow Weed, in his Advertiser, says: “President Johnson adopted President Lincoln’s plan of -.‘pacification,’‘ which, un- t'da sudden change of front was the plan of the Republican Party. Congress framed an Amendment to the Constitution, forever Abolishing Slavery, which the States were required to adopt. This, with the repeal of the Ordinances of Secession, in the judg ment of Mr. Lincoln and Congress, ended Secession and Rebellion, restored the Union, and re-established the authority of the Gov ernment. But here crept in the new ideas. From Washington. Washington, April 20.—Meade tele- graphs Grant that Georgia ratifies the Con stitution and elects Bullock, but the Legis- lature is Democratic.

There were over eight hundred votes polled iu this county on affidavit of regis tration and citizenship. Three hundred and twenty-six of these swore they registered iu Dougherty, hut their names do not ap pear on the hooks or lists. Major Cochran ordered the managers to receive them. Of the otheis, at least oue-half are believed to have committed perjury. It is also known that many voted who are registered here hut now reside in other counties, and it is estimated that not less than six to eight hundred illegal votes were polled, and of these the probability is, that not more than one-fifth were cast for the Democratic tick- ’ Protest will be entered, and, if General Meade is not foiled by Hulbert. the milk in the Cocoa-nut will he accounted for.

Hendricks moved that Nelson be allow ed to read so much as would show the date aud signature, carried. Nelson, holding the letter faced toward the Senate, said : “Senators will see the letter dated March 9, and hero attached to it they will see the autographs of B. 1*. Butler and John A. Logan. The leadership which Sumner has re sumed regarding new rules is evidently dis tasteful to several Senators. Canby telegraphs Grant that the major ity for the Constitution in North Carolina is 13,000; thirty-six counties unheard from. o , In transferred Court claims, many depo sitions in cotton cases not properly witness ed to, but extended hero by the Commis sioner from phonographic notes, the Court ordered new depositions, causing de lay and disappointment in many cases. The Reconstruction Committee met to- that year was 1,292, and the product 459, 410 hogsheads of sugar, and 36,752,800 gallons of molasses—now the crop is little or nothing. 2d Cotton. The United States crop in 1859-60 was 4,657,770 hales; in 1860- 01,3,656,0S6 hales. The crop in 1867 was immensely diminished, and is likely to be diminished more and more, every year. The labor on cotton is scarcely one half what it was, and the plantersare so discour aged that they are turning their energies into cereals. 3d_-The shipping of the North.— Our foreign commerce is not altogether, but nearly annihilated—and but for the monopoly we have in our coasting trade, the zVmcrican flag would almost cease to float upon the ocean. From having been the first shipping nation in the world, we are running into the fifth and sixth rate powers in foreign shipping. When a na tion thus ceases to raise and nurse seamen for its ocean defense, it puts itself and its commerce iu a fair way to be the prey of better governed States.—New York Ex press. A Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial writes : The opening speech for tlie defense was a quiet and grave reminder of a sort oT le gal eloquence that was trite forty years ago. Itbrought to mind, in its stately periods, dispassionately, rationally, concisely utter ed, 'the days of ^Marshall, Kent and Sto ry- Mr. Curtis is a man without a smile or a trifle. Sombre is his vesture, purple in his color. He is very like Daniel Webster in his stature, face aud manner. He seldom walks in anybody’s company—but with a slow, deliberate stride, leaning on a cane, he comes alone to the Capitol, ponderously mounts the steps, wipes his forehead iu the ante-room, and, entering the Senate, sits in a condition of vigilant retirement, like a turkey gobbler bottling up his rage and working his craw, lie exchanges no words with his legal brethren. If introduced to anybody in any pause or recess, he shakes hands with that gravity which Webster used to revel in. He weighs about a hun dred and ninety pounds, perhaps more. Na ture gave him a good, large Webstcriau head; and his face is a fine old liver-color. He perspires with great freedom, hut nev er through excitement. His paunch is stately; his cloth gaiters are eminently le gal; no gold seal disturbs the demureness of his vest; his blue eyes retreat into his brows, and his head into his standing col lar, and he listens like a phosphorescent bull-dog in a dark cellar. Such is Judge Curtis, with the addi tions of straight, brown liair and a face smoothly shaven. Rising to speak, to-day, there were about twenty books of reference before him. He put his hands on the baize tablej looked his gloomy, grandest, and be gan with the manner of a funeral ora tion. His voice is not strong, hut naturally trained by tlie temperament of the man, and pitched upou tlie same natural key, it reaches the car very pleasantly and. strives to do no more. As it carried so its calm burden of argument at an equal pace, the minds of all of us left the domains of polities, and rose with its cadences into the atmosphere of law. Insensibly we all be gan to feel that Butler’s speech, which we all had supposed a great performance, had been no more than a smart audacity. This old-time man, never in a hurry, never in zeal, addressed himself to the supposition that his auditors were all learned and self- respecting gentlemen. Every time he said “Senators!” he made a cold chill go through the Senate; for during the past two weeks one-half the Senators have forgotten their rank. I venture the supposition that this speech got more respect in every Senator’s silent mind than any utterance of liis own has had for a year past. I did not follow it closely enough to tell you the effect of it as an argument But it did this, which But- self aud of the occasion. Everything that had been said before grew little and mean after Curtis had talked an hour. In all that time he never changed his place, never fal tered for a word, nor used any undignified expression whatsoever. Judge Chase heard the argument with the gravest care. It was a study to look at the Chief Justiceand the solid old pleader, taking his time so tremen dously. From the Columbus San. The Ramie Plant. [Special telegram to the New York Heruld. THE GREAT RADICAL CONSPIRACY. Press and Sap-press. We had the pleasure of a call, on Friday morning last, from Col. Maurice Maloney, commanding the Post of Savannah, and his Adjutant, Lieut H. B. Sarson, and were made acquainted with the contents of a document, a copy of which has since been furnished us, and which is as follows: USEFUL HINTS. We have given in our columns, from time to time, such notices of the Ramie Plant, a proposed substitute for Cotton, as have fal len under our notice in our exchanges. These, we confess, have been tor the most part meagre and unsatisfactory in detail. We have now the pleasure and opportuni ty of layingbefore our readers some interest ing and inportant facts about this valuable plant, which are gathered from a small pamphlet ou the subject, kindly presented to us by our enterprising fellow citizens. H. C. Mitchell & Co. It appears that the plant is a native of Asia, and has been extensively cultivated in that -country, in sections embracing a great *'ariety of soil and climate. It has been introduced into Mexico and has been profitably cultivated iu that country, and some experiments are now being made with it by planters of lionisiana and Mississippi. The product of the plant isafibre obtained from the stalk, very white and glossy like cotton, aud resembling the staple of Sea Island cotton, though much longer and stronger. This fibre is used in the manufac tures of cloth, either by itself or by being mixed with wool or cotton. It is easily and speedily prepared for market by a kind of gin, made for the purpose, which does not require as much power as the ordinary cotton gin. It is ahardy and vigorous plant, Dot likely to be injured by long spells of rain or drouth, and is easily cultivated, not requiring the same amount of labor or the continuous labor that must he bestowed up on cotton. No plowing at all for two years ifter planting is required, the hoe and har row being quite sufficient to keep it free from the interference of weeds and grass. It is not necessary to plant it oftener than once in seven or eight years, as the plant will continue to grow from the roots and rattoons left in tlie ground. The product of this plant commands iu the Liverpool market sixty-five cents per pound, and it is thought that with improvement iu its culti vation and preparation,^ much larger price can he obtained. Indeed, it is expected of it, that it will become a formidable rival of Flax which is worth from two to three dollars per pound. A Mr. Kapp, who lias tested it in Lou isiana, is satisfied that two crops of the plant may be raised in that climate in one season, and another planter who has tested it in Mississippi, thinks that from six hun- dren to one thousand pounds may be realiz ed on an acre, according to the quality of the laud. In addition to its otherqualities, it furnishes food for cattle, hogs and poul try, and its tender shoots are esteemed a fine table vegetable. In view of these facts, and the further consideration that it is not taxed, it would seem that there arc good reasons for the be lief that this plant may, to a great extent, supersede the cultivation of cotton in the South. Ramie requires less labor, time and expense, makes more per acre, and brings more per pound than cotton. The erops are not liable to be ruined or lost by ca to~tne tnousanu Tn.-imitra-v. — —.— cotton is. We would advise our farming friends to give some attention to this impor tant subject. They are doubtless satisfied that at present prices, cotton cannot be suc cessfully raised by nigger statesmen. Very few of them will care to repeat next year the disastrous experiment of this. If the one half the promises made in behalf of this plant can be realized, the nigger may he left to live on politics, and the Southern planter may yet recover the prosperity lost by emancipation, taxation and the foolish and criminal effort by a political faction to make the African the peerof the whiteman. The experiment is at least worth a trial, and we trust, in another year, to he able to re port the experience of some of our enter prising and enlightened planters with the Ramie Plant. The Plot of the Radicals for the Overthrow of a Republican Government-—The Exe cutive and the Supreme Court to be Abol ished— The terms of Office of Grant and the Senators to be extender! to Ten Years —-4 CombinedMilitarg and Senatorial Dic tatorship Contemplated. Washington, April 14,186S. ' History records numerous instances of conspirators to overthrow existing govern ments, or to change ruling dynasties, but they have generally been the work of a few restless spirits, who have kept their real designs concealed from all but their imme diate associates, and thus have led their followers blindly on in the path of revolu tion in ignorance of its ultimate goal. The Jacobins of Franco were bold in their ac tion; but even with them when their revo lutionary fires were- first kindled only the men who applied the match knew fully the extent of the destruction that was designed to follow the conflagration. Tlie Radical conspiracy now under full way at JVash- ingtou is probably the most reckless that lias ever sought to strike at the life of a strong and beneficent government and to reduce a happy people to a state of anar chy. Events have occurred here within the past two or three days which reader it cer tain that the ultimate object of the meu who arc now striving to control the Re publican party in CongTcss is to effect an entire change in our republican form of government, and to substitute in its place a dictatorship more absolute and arbitrary than that of Robespierre and the Commune do Paris. The apparent triumph of the impeachcrs on Saturday last, when the Senate, alter giving the broadest license to the Managers iu regard to the admission of evidence against President Johnson, re fused to the latter the privilege of examin ing Gen. Sherman on points vital to the de fense, Imparted such confidence to the Radical conspirators as to tempt them to cast aside all caution, and to boast openly of their power and of the manner in which they arc resolved to cxerciso it. In the bar rooms and over the’ dinner tables principles were avowed which, under other governments, would consign theirexponcuts to a felou cell. The objects of the revolu tionists were declared to be the entire overthrow of constitutional Republican government, as a failure, proved to be such by the war of the rebellion, and the sub stitution of a so-called “Government of the people,’’ under the delusive Jacobin cry of “Liberty and Equality.” Tho means aud proocs3 by which this end is to be accom plished are set forth as follows : Tlie conviction and removal of Andrew Johnson, and tlie installation of Ben Wade in the Presidency for .three or four months befere the commencement of the next Presidential term. Immigration—Fruits In the South—The Ex perience of a Practical Man. The following are extracts from a private letter, written by one of the ablest lawyers and most practical farmers of Georgia to his friends in this city. Every word is worthy of the serious consideration of our people: Columbus, Ga., April 23,1868. “If you propose to bring out immigrants as laborers, it will not do. I have tried it. But if you propose tb bring them out and sub-divide your lauds, and start small farms giving them an opportunity to become land owners, it will bring the South out. We have to cease being planters, and become landlords. The negro must move out, and the immigrant move in; and then the South will blossom'dike the rose despite of gov ernment. ■‘My nursery hist year was for my own nsc, to increase my orchards, and therefore yielded no profit; but this year I think it will bring me 83,000.

The taste for light wines has'to he cultivated. I have 4,000 bearing peach trees. I sold last year in New York and other markets, $8,200 worth. It cost me about four thousand dollars to put the crop iu market, which was 81,500 more than usual, the steamboats having been ta ken off tlie line at Savannah early in the season, which forced me to pay 83 50 per bushel by express. Good Southern peach es bring 88 to 812 per bushel iu New York; and tlie freight by steamer and railroad is about 81 05. I have planted 10,000 trcc3 this year, and shall plant 10,000 more next year. The sale in New York is unlimited, and the improvement for shipment rapidly developing in various ways. AVlien I plant an orchard, I have the stumps dug and burnt about 15 to 18inchcs below the surface. This I get done for 8 cents each, by contract, and a good hand will make 75 to 80 cents a day when he gets used to it.

He examined the rase carefully, felt of the pulse, which appeared strong and almost healthy, pro nounced the case hopeful, and after pre- b cribing, was about to depart. The_ patient requested the doctor to remain, with the remark that he should be dead in just ten minutes. The doctor supposing it to be only a whim of the imagination , thought it best not to heed it, and left without delay, with the remark thathe was sure he would soon be better. As soon as he left, the young man firmly, and in about his usual voice" told a gentloman present to look at liis waph and note the time, for in just ten minutes from the time he spoke he would be dead. The friend, like the physician, to turn his attention from the subject, paid no attention to to it, but performed some other slight attention. After about five minutes more had elapsed, the sick man a-i-ain spoke to his friend : “Why did you not look at your watch? Five minutes have passed. I have only five minutes more to live.” The friend then looked at his watch and noted the time. In just five minutes the patient was dead.—Galena Ga zelte, April 18. of which the people arj^o he kept .in a any strong drinks, we are not_prepared to ewav—q — J * . stateof excitement and good humor, and to sa,..
