Only SIOO Salary tor the City Judge !
it is understood that the City Council have
fixed the salary of the Judge of our new Crimi
nal Court at only SIOO per annum. We have
hoard it said that this was not done on account
ol’ any personal or political antipathy to the
Judge elect, but because the Council nre op
posed to the creation of the Court and wish to
render it inefficient. The motive, in our judg
ment, is unjustifiable and contrary to the spirit
of the law. Whatever may be the opinion of
the Council as to the necessity or expediency
of instituting this Court, if is clearly their
duty now to give efficiency to the act estab
lishing it and to carry out the law iu its spirit.
The time for resistance was when the bill was
pending before the Legislature; any ‘•impe
diment” interposed now is factious and in
spirit illegal, and woliopo that the “sober sec
ond thought” will so convinco the Council.
It is a matter to be regretted that tin; Coun
cil did not determine the salary before the
election, as there could not then have been a
suspicion even that party feeling operated iu
the matter, and the candidatcscould then have
decided whether they would accept the office
with a merely nominal and wholly inadequate
salary.

The River.
Our river has risen about one foot within
the last two days, which indicates much more
rain up the country than we have been favored
with.
The steamers Ben Franklin and South Car
olina arrived, and the Oswichee left, yester
day morning. The South Carolina also left
about sundown. We heard, yesterday, that
the Tampa was aground a shortdistnnce below
this city.

Wo learned, as we were going to press, that
the Hon. IV. C. Da wsou, late Senator in Con
gress from this State, died very suddenly, at
his residence in Greensboro, on Tuesday.
The Circuit Court of Muscogee county is
now in session in this city—His Honor Judge
Worrill presiding. We learn that the Grand
Jury is busily engaged, and offenders may be
on the look-out accordingly.
The reports of yellow fever at many of the
West Indian and South American ports, and
the occasional arrival at our own ports of ves
sels whose crews have suffered from it on the
voyage, have prompted the authorities of cities
along the Atlantic coast to use all precautions
within their power to avert the dreaded
scourge. At Norfolk and Portsmouth thorough
measures for cleansing the cities have been
adopted, nud the quarantine regulations will
no doubt be strictly enforced. Much appre
hension on the subject exists there. It is stat
ed that a strict quarantine will he enforced at
New York as soon as warm weather sets in.

A Great Hail Storm.
Mr. W. 11. C. Price, in a letter to tho Mont
gomery Mail, gives some account of an extra
ordinary hail-storm at Auburn, Ala., and its
vicinity, on Sunday afternoon. The stones
varied in size from a pen to a lemon, but the
prevailing size was about as large as a guinea
egg! Mr. Price measured one which was 8
by 7 inches ! Os course, stones of this size,
falling for the space of twenty minutes, must
have occasioned much damage. Fruit trees
and gardens were riddled, window glass bro
ken in great quantities, and turkeys nud
smaller poultry killed in every yard.
This storm extended into Russel county.—
We have learned that great quantities of hail
fell in some sections, aud that disasters sim
ilar to those mentioned at Auburn were nu
merous. Had the crops been more advanced
they would have received very serious
injury; but both cotton and corn are small
and backward. The fruit, no doubt, was
beaten down and the trees injured to a consid
erable extent.

The Panama Railroad.
The Postmaster General has, through the
President, sent a communication to Congress
in reference to tho transportation of the mails
across the Isthmus, which exhibits in a strong
light the grasping proclivities of monopolies.
Now that the Nicaragua Transit route lias
been closed, or become too hazardous for the
Department to resort : it, the Pauaum Rail
road Company demur l a greatly increased
compensation for carrying the mails. They
require the very moderate sum of twenty-two
cents per pound for transporting mail matter
across the narrow Isthmus! This being now
tho only available route, the Postmaster Gen
eral says he unwillingly yields for the pres
ent to the unjust and exhorbitant demand,
and he asks authority to contract with the
Railroad Company at a price not to exceed
fifty thousand dollars per annum for convey
ance across the Isthmus alone, and for the
semi-monthly conveyance of the mails from
New York and New Orleans alternately to San
Francisco, via Nicaragua and Panama, at a
sum not exceeding $200,000 per annum.
Would it not be a measure of economy, as
well as of right and justice, for our Govern
ment at once to clear out all obstructions to
the Nicaragua route, whether they be Costa
Rican invaders or British war vessels ? And
how long can our Government afford to per
mit the negroes .at Panama to destroy mail
matter which costa it 22 cents per pound for
safe transportation •fifty miles?
Main Trunk Railway.
The Savannah Journal publishes nil intni*-
esting letter to its editor from Gov. Di'uome,
of Florida, in reference to r,h<; location of tl*-
route of this road. The main idea f the
Governor is that it ought, not to run tiirtln-i
----south than a direct line IVoni Warenlioro’ t.

the Florida line, it.- Im duo.-- will scriwul.v

He thinks that this route would not be juoi-o

Warosboro’ to Pensacola, which cannot lie (At
tained without legislation on the part of Flov
ida, which she will hardly consent to. Th
Governor would also require Georgia to aid in
building the road from the junction to Pens. * -
cola, or he would not favor any concession on
the part of Florida. He says that Georgia,
cannot run her road into Florida, or form airy
connection with a Florida road, under any
charter now existing.
These views of Gov. Rvoome are certainly
entitled to consideration and weight in deter
mining tlic location of tho Main Trunk.

In tho Senate to-day nothing was done.
The House has passed the bill for the re
moval of the obstructions in the Savannah
River.
Mr. Clingman offered a resolution author
izing the President to employ any part of th e
laml or naval force of the country and volun

Kansas Affairs in tho Massachusetts
Legislature.
Boston, May 1.
In the Senate to-day two reports were sub
mitted from tho special committee upon Kan
sas affairs. The majority reported a series
of resolutions, taking strong Northern ground,
denouncing the interference of the bonier ruf
fians, the bogus Territorial Legislature, and
tho course of the national administration, de
claring that Kansas should be admitted as :i
free State, and commending the cause to the
sympathy of the people of Massachusetts. The
resolutions were ordered to a second reading.
The minority report, which is signed by two
members of the committee, maintains the le
gality of the Territorial Legislature and law ts,
and sustains the course of the administration.

Col. Sumner would remain at Lawrence wit li
his whole command until the arrests were
made. Parties had been sent to Lecompton.
The Deputy Sheriff of Douglas county was
having writs issued against one hundred citi
zens of Lawrence for violations of the Territo
rial law. Col. Sumner had threatened the
people for having fired into the soldiers'tents*.
Gov. Robinson charged the act upon the pro

Large Sale of Negroes.
At the sale of tho negroes belonging to the
estate of William Zeigler, late of Crawford Cos.
in this State, consisting of 19G, and ages,
ranging from 81 to infants, they brought the
large sum of $148,966; being an average of
$736,51, apiece. They sold in families ac
cording to the will of the testator. The lar
gest family consisted of nine persons, $5,900-
We think it a great mistake that negroes bring
less when sold in families, to say nothing of
the humanity of the policy. —Macon Mmmger
FROM KANSAS.
The Shooting of Sheriff Jones—More
Troops sent for.
rrim flu* Post. May 1.
A gentleman who arrived iu thi city yester
day from Kansas, gives us the latest anil most
import ans intelligence ‘from that territory.—-
lie is a gentleman well known iu this city, and
liis statements can be fullyTelied on. W c may
slate that he is nut a democrat or a party man,
mid makes perfectly impartial statements. (Ic
gives, f acts ...ml leaves the .reader to diaw the
inferences. He left Lawrence, Kansas, on the
21thof April, and reached here late at night
outlie 29th. Only five days through.
lie say- that prey ion- to April I'.lth, every
thing was quietin the Territory, aud free-,State
and pro-slavery men were living in harmony,
and .attending quietlyto their own affairs'. On
the 19th Sheriff Jones left Lecompton with a
small posse of men for Lawrence, for the pur
pose of arresting the notorious S. N. Wood,
against whom he had no less than six warrants,
one issued on the complaint of a froc-State
man. On the arrival of the Sheriff at Law
rence he arrested Mr. Wood. V crowd imme
diately collected and rescued Wood, taking
from the Sheriff at the same time a pistol, the
only weapon lie had, and drove Iriui out of the
town with many insults, lie returned to Le
compton, the place of his residence. *
On .Sunday, the 20th of April, with a small
number of assistants, became to arrest Wood
again. On his arrival here he made a list of
the names of men in Lawrence on whom lie
called for assistance in the discharge of his
duty. They refused to obey. Finding he
could get no assistance, he quietly returned to
Lecompton. It is presumed he informed Gov.
Shannon that he could not make the arrest
without a military force, as the Governor im
mediately sent to Fort Leavenworth for troops,
and sent a telegraphic message to the Presi
dent. Only twelve soldiers were sent for, as
it was the aim to prevent anything serious
from occurring. They came to Lawrence with
Sheriff Jones on Wednesday, April 23d, and
proceeded to make tiie following arrests: •!.
G. Fuller and A. J. Smith, charged with res
cuing S. N. Wood from the Sheriff on the Sat
urday previous; and the following persons for
refusing to assist the Sheriff on the next day
after the rescue: GeorgeF. Warren, F. Hunt,
A. D. Lyman and the noted John Hutchinson.
The citizens did not interfere with these ar
rests. No resistance or disturbance arose.—
After the arrest ho took the prisoners to a
public house kept by a man named Hinman,
where he left them in charge of the soldiers,
giving them a good supper at ins own cost.—
Our informant was stopping at thesamo house,
and eat at the same table.’
The Sheriff was in and out of the house un
til twenty minutes past nine o’clock at night.
The Sheriff then went out, and some three or
four pistol shots were scon heard. Mr. Hin
man came in twenty minutes afterwards,
and said that Sheriff Jones was shot and des
perately wounded. < )ur informant went out
to ascertain the facts. He found everything
apparently quiet. The soldiers had pitched
two tents back of the inn, in one of which the
officers of the military slept, ft was ascer
tained that the Sheriff was shot at three times,
bat not injured. He then went to the officers’
tent and sat down in the back part of it. Some
persons, as yet unknown, when our informant
left, walked round the tent and fired a ball
through the canvass of the tent. It struck
the Sheriff in tho small of the back, destroying
the spine. He sent for a doctor who advised
his removal to the Free-State Hotel, where the
Congress Investigating Committee then'were.
The Sheriff was carried from the tent to that
hotel, where four physicians paid him all at
tention during the night. He bled profusely
and suffered severely, and by morning he was
very weak and almost pulseless, and no hopes
were entertained of his recovery. Kven should
he recover he must be cripple for life. On
that day our informant left, and is now in
Pittsburg. On the Wednesday that the Sher
iff was shot a party of ten soldiers on their
way from an Indian station passed through
Lawrence, and crossing the river encamped
some live hundred yards from the city. After
the Sheriff was shot Lieut. Mclntosh sent for
them : and they returned about two o’clock at
night. So on Thursday morning there were
twenty-two United States soldiers, all told, in
the city, and all was quiet. Thcprisoncrs had
not been rescued.
An order had been sent to Fort Leavenworth
for more troops, and fifty had leftfor Lawrence
to preserve the peace.
The American Question.
What hidden motive is producing the exas
perating and uncalled-for articles upon Amer
ican affairs in the Times? It cannot be the
profits of the journalist that impels these in
sulting and mischievous diatribes, for every
body is indignant at the recklessness of the
writer. Just at the timo when every states
man is disposed to show the greatest reserve
and forbearance in alluding to our difficulties
with the United States, the Times is hurling
insults across the Atlantic with as little
thought as a schoolboy bestows on liis squibs
and crackers. Yesterday in an article upon
the close of the Russian war, we are told that
having disposed of one pretender to universal
dominion in the East, we must now prepare to
meet another in the West. America, wo are
gravely told, is aiming at the dictatorship of
the world. If so, she is aiming at it through
some means totally different from those of the
great military powers of Europe. America,
with an army of twelve thousand men, with u
navy numbering but one line-of-battle-ship,
u"il with her whole coast entirely without de
fences, seeking to place herself “above all the
world, is a supposition so monstrous that it
will be viewed in America as a mere pretence
for covering designs on the part of Europe
against America.
England at the head of her army cud navy,
is novv a very formidable power for instant
operations against any enemy ; and the Amer
icans who persist in regarding the Times as
the organ ot Lord Clarendon, will suspect that
this language covers some design, oris intend
ed to precipitate some quarrel with them.—
Me observe, too, that it is said that the Eng
lish and French navies are uniting in the Gulf
ot Mexico for a visit to Central America.—
We hope this is not true. What business has
1 ranee in this quarrel ? She is not a party to
the t layton-Bulwer Treaty—she is not the
protector of the Mosquito Indians. What bn
siuess has she, or rather, what right have we
to call in her armed interference hi that dis
pute ? M’o trust there is no truth in the report.
It would confirm the interpretation put by the
Americans on the language of Lord Clarendon
in the House—that England and France were
prepared to act in concert upon American af
fairs.—London Morning Star.

Evacuation of Turkey by the Allies.
The London Times of tho sth ultimo has an
article upon the evacuation of the Turkish
territory by tho itllieil armies, that contains
suggestions of interest, an,l, to our mind, of
no little insignificance. We append a portion
of it, from Which present distrust or future
ulterior purposes may be inferred, according
to the fancy of the reader:
“The presence of the Western forces in the
East is now only a question of months. Such
a war ns this has, of course, causod the accu
mulation of immense stores of all kinds. The
British army is said to be provided with food
anil other necessaries for nearly a twelvemonth.
All kinds fit’ warlike material have been des
patched to the Bosphorus, in expectation of a
stoutly contested campaign between immense
armies iu a country where everything must be
provided beforehand. We have barracks, sta
bling, hutting in incalculable quantities.—
Even what must necessarily be left behind in
camp will be a rich prize for the Russians
who may first occupy the ground now so well
known to Englishmen. The ports of Turkey
are full of British vessels; the buildings which
do duty for Warehouses arc overflowing with
British property, intended for the use of the
army. It may confidently be expected that
the year 1867 will be far advanced before the
last man and the last cargo of shells can pass
the Dardanelles on their way homeward. Nor
can we think that any haste is necessary iu
completing the evacuation. We have accu
mulated large stores aud assembled a great,
army for the defence of Turkey, and there is
no reason that we should incur the expense of
new transports aud a greater amount of labor,
in order to hurry back with such speed as
may gratify (he desire of those whom we saved
to be quickly rid of us. Let the retirement
be decently effected by the means at the dis
posal of the authorities, and let us not aban
don our privilege of employing a military and
naval force in the oouutry as long as there are
stores to guard or transports to direct. Cer
tainly, as long as Austria retains her hold of
tho l'rincipalities there should be a French
and English force on the Bosphorus. We
were the first and most devoted allies of Tur
key, and it is our duty, no less than our right,
to hold our position until the last foreign sol
diers, whether neutrals on the Danube or en
emies iu Armenia, have quitted the Turkish
soil.
“England is peculiarly situated in one re
spect. More than 20,000 of the Turkish
troops have been taken into her service, are
commanded by English officers, and are under
the orders of the English Commander-in-Chief.
This body i ill soon leave the point of Russian
territory w iieh it now occupies. An impor
taut quest) m is, what is to become of what
was the Ti rkish contingent? Ft seems to us
that England might well advise, or insist that
it should be perpetual, or at least exist for a
time. Tho peculiar fitness of the British offi
cers to command Orientals has been often
proved. Not to speak of Clive or Coote, we
may take instances from tbc history of Tur
key itself. More than half a century since,
an Englishman commanding a handful of
Musslemen on the rampart of Acre, caused
the subsequent conqueror of Europe to ex
claim: “That man has changed ipy destiny!”
Tho defence of Silistvia and the defence of
Kars are fresh in the remembrance of every
one. Nor has the Turkish contingent itself
failed to show during the short time that it
has existed the capabilities of its officers and
the spirit and obedience of its men. The per
petuation of this force under some other
name seems a plan likely to benefit Turkey
as much as it reflects credit ou our own coun
try. There is nothing to prevent England
from lending an efficient staff of officers to her
ally, nor is there anything in the constitution
of the Turkish State which could make such
an arrangement injurious or derogatory.”
Large Location of Land.
I t is said that Gen. Simpkins, of South Car
olina, has contracted with a large land dealer
of Galveston for fifty thousand acres of Texas
lands. The General is now sojourning in Port
Lavaca. Dr. Ford, of the Austin Times, and
Mnj. B. J. White, of Jackson, arc his resident
agents in that State ; also Col. Bob Wilson, of
Houston, and Judge Mills, of Lamar. Gen.
Simpkins is said to be a man of great wealth,
and deeply interested in theprosperity of Texas.
On his late visit to Austin, he was invited, by
resolution, to a seat in the House of Repre
sentatives. Tho General has many old friends
and acquaintances in Texas, who remember
his efforts to servo our cause many years ago.
The citizens of San Antonio hope to have him
permanently scttledainoug them. Aside from
his wealth and enterprise, Geu. Simpkins has
a national reputation as the author of “The
Mule Trade,” and “ Buck Pettus in the Land
lady’s Hoorn,” two literary productions of
great merit.

Old Heinelsperger, a few days since, gave

the old gentleman discovered the gander near
the wood pile, minus that important append
age, a heal. lie called his son, and, in an
angry tone, demanded :
“ Shonny, vot for you kill the goosey shick- |
