COLUMRUH: IV<<IIMH<II< > Morning, May ’4l, 1 Hr. liAItUKNT CITV CIRCULATION. Superior Court. Wp dropped into this Court yesterday, found it remarkably quiet and dignified, an<l really brilliant as to the bar, many of the legal gen tlemen present, being well known throughout the State, and not a few of them glorying iu the title of Ex-M. O. There was nothing of special importance (lone yesterday, and the Court was engaged, at the time of our visit, on a case in which recovery for burnt cotton was being insisted on by plaintiff, and stoutly opposed by defendant—the steamer Franklin, llis Honor, Judge Worrell, has some idu yn cracies. We notice in him, an entire contempt for everything like ceremony, beyond strict legal requirement; 110 sort of desire to magni fy his office: and a free, familiar, blunt style of talk to the lawyers, evincing bis desire to dispatch matters quickly, withoutperipbra.se, or waste of labor. Among other remarks of his during our brief stay, was one which we put upon paper, as an opinion merely, whose correctness, wo are, for our own part, unable to pass upon. The lawyers were “devilling” a very intelli gent witness who began to show some little spunk, by dropping tho “sir” in “yes sir,” and “no sir,” speaking short and quick, and with an ovident consciousness of being rather cavalierly treated. Thereupon, says the Judge— “ This Court has no parallel in Christendom. The smallest points are contested with as much vigor as if they involved millions; and the smaller tho point, the greater the vehemence and pertinacity of the contestants.” City Court. This Court commenced operations yester dayj Judge P. 11. Colquitt, on the llench, Ju nius A. Fox, Esq., Solicitor, and Calvin Strat ton, Esq., Clerk. Tho Grand Jury was busy all day, finding true bills against assaulters and batterers, among whom were two Magdalens—one re splendent in silk and ribbon—and the Solicitor was actively occupied throughout the day, issuing his summons and arrests. Tho Court passed upou ono case only—an “ assault and battery ” —visiting thereupon, the penality of a fine. The other cases will bo, for the most part, postponed, owing to absence of witnesses. A few of them, however, will receive their quietus during the present session. Tho Court promises well—very well; and will ore long bo recognized as a highly efficient arm o’’ retribution, and promoter of city mor ality. Owiug to “ one thing and another,” impression has obtained to some extent, that this Court would be a one-horse affair ; but we opine it will not bo long ero divers and sundry parties open their eyes to the fact that it is an entire team. Tho officers of tho Court, wo may remark, seem quito at/ fait —quite use to the role of presiding, prosecuting, and recording; and as to dignity, it is duo to our candor to say, that wo can perceive no difference iu tho two sides of the saw-dust that strews tho Court House passage—Superior Court one side, City Court the other. ♦ The Gordian Knot. We stated yesterday, on tho authority of the Washington Star, that Utah, a Mormon colony or Territory, would soou apply for admission, as a State—a delegation being now on their way to Washington, to make the application, and bringing with them a State Constitution. For thoso several years past, we have watched the gradual increase of the Mormon popula tion, supplied from two fruitful sources, polyg amy and foreign lands, and have speculated not a little upon the inevitable dilemma, which lias been steadily nearing us—the ques tion of assent to or donial of, this petitiou. Truly it is a difficult question. It is not pro bablo that the constitution above alluded to, abolishes thcTurco-Mormon practice of polyg amy, and its accompaniments of harems, sera glios, and other attendants of various sort, utterly repugnant to us of the present Union. Believing, as tho majority of Mormons do, that polygamy is not only permitted by the Divine Being, but is an institution authorized of hea ven ; and finding no obstacles thereto in the United States Constitution; and being anxious, as humau nature ever is, to carry a difficult point; and being stimulated thereto by past persecution; and being sustained and encour aged through that powerful element of man’s nature, tho religious sentiment, it is altogeth er probable that Utah will battle, inch by inch, for the plurality of wives. Tho strong est motives, however, for Mormon insistance on this doctrine will be found in the thirst of tho humau heart for triumph and revenge, and iu the fanaticism which utterly blinds the mere religionist. Mormondom hus been an Ishmalite hitherto, iu tbttt every man’s hand (almost) has been against her. With the cry of persecution upon bet lips she will now play out her pnrt, and turn her hand against every man who dares oppose her. Nor must any Hatter themselves that Mormondom is but a handful—petty, in significant, contemptible. Numerically, she is already respectable, and she will have many recruits from the “States.” Abolitionism itself, which liko the ravenous wolf, hath for these many years been at tlio southern heel, may uow take pause; aud as the wolf, when bribed with a bit of meat, suspends the chase till it be devoured, so the abolition horde may suspend for a brief period, its occupation pro per, and amuse itself with advocacy of polyga my. Whatever is new, rash, wild, supremely mad, and disorganizing, is nutriment to these hordes— delectable food. We may therefore confidently expect that abolitionism, womans rightsism, free loveism, Fourierism, Grccly ism, and Parkerism, will coalesce with Mor monism, to accomplish the darling object of their hearts —the mere carrying of a point, let that point bo ever so small, ever so temporary. There is trouble ahead, turn this matter as we may. We see no outlet whatever, which ! is not violative of commonly received political l and republican principles. But what of that? | Are we never to walk alone? Are we so cow ardly that we dure not depart from old-time ; charts, though we know that adhesion to them will be ruin ! We hope not. And come what | will, it is our sdlemu duty to say to Mormon i dom, and to all who join her, puugk tiiyski,k i ki.uk Tirnn panst not kntkii. ♦ Jere. Clomonn Gobbed. The lion. Senator from Alabama was re i lieved of $l2O, and some valuables,a few days since, al. a Pittsburgh hotel. The robbers, three in number, two of whom were English men, have been caged Mr. (J. could not iden tify liis money, but identified one of the parties as the person who robbed him. They were all “flush” when arrested. ♦ Porpoise Leather. The skin of tho white porpoise lias been tanned in England, and a report say , it is fur superior to the skin of any land uttimul. A pair of boots was exhibted which had worn out seven soles, though the price of the new leath er is no more than that of common calf skin. Efforts are on foot to make Annapolis, Md., the Headquarters of the Eastern Division of tho United States Army. The Administration is said to favor the scheme. .Should it bo adopted, the officers will reside in tho city, and the soldiers quarter at Fort Madison. Lands and Land Warranto. The bill recently passed in the United States Senate, and previously by the House, granting lands to lowa for Railroad purposes, has caused a panic in the “ warrant” market. As the measure will close most of the land offices in that .State, the Union says that warrants are expected to fall below $1 per acre, and purchasers are at present unwilling togo much boyond that rate. The Common Council of Winchester, Va., arc thinking of issuing corporation bills of $5 each, to tho amount of SIOO,OOO, and will sub mit the proposition to the voters of the town. Tho pistols which O’Connell used in his duel with D’Esterre, were sold by auction in Lime rick lately, for twenty-seven shillings the pair. Recognition of Padre Vijil. In his late Message on this subject, the Pres ident makes the following points, among oth ers : “ We recognize all governments, without question as to their source or organization, or the means by which the governing powers at tain their power, provided there be a govern ment de facto accepted by the people of the country.” “ We do not go behind the fact of a foreign government exercising tho actual power to investigate questions of legitimacy.” “ We do not inquire into the causes which may have led to a change of government. To us it is indifferent whether a successful revo lution has been aided by foreign intervention or not; whether insurrection has overthrown the existing government and another estab lished in its place according to pre-existing forms, or in 11 manner adopted for the occasion by those whom we may find in actual posses sion of power.” All these matters are left to the people and the public authorities of countries respectively. During the sixty seven yesrs of our existence under our present Constitution, we have had occasion to recognize governments de facto, founded either by domestic revolution or by military invasion from abroad, in many of the Governments of Europe. The principle is vastly more important ns applicable to the Central American States, where revolutions are constantly occurring.— Therefore, when the Minister from Nicaragua presented himself, some months since, bearing the commission of President Rivas, if the facts which are now presented had existed, he must have been received. The various objections to him were stated. Another Minister has now presented him self and been received, satisfactory evidence appearing that he represents the Government tie facto, and go far as such exists, the Govern ment dc Jure, of that Republic. The message states that a Special Commis sioner has been dispatched to Panama to in vestigate tlio facts of late occurrence in that quarter, and suggests that other measures for the security of transit must be resorted to, and if the present Constitutional power of the President is not sufficient, he will communi cate to Congress such recommendations as the exigency of the case may indicate. Miscellaneous Foreign Items. Postage stamps have just been introduced into Sweden, and the cost of letteer carriage is now the same to nil parts of tho country.— Letter boxes have been fastened up all over the city of Stockholm. Prince Napoleon intends taking a long tour ou the conclusion of the baptismal fetes at Pa ris. He will visit Scotland, Ireland, the north of England, Sweden, Norway, Nc., accompa nied by a few of his intimate friends. The Emperor Napoleon has just purchased 18,000 square metre of land in the city of Pa ris and divided it off into lots, on which he intends immediately building a largo number of bouses for the accommodation of the poorer classes of his subjects. Each house, as soon as it is built will be sold at public auction, and the proceeds applied to building another. A hill is now before the French Legislature for reducing the postago on printed matter to 8-6 of a cent per ounce to any part of the country—from any department to any part of the same department one-half the above rate. This is about oue third only of existing rates. There acem< to be little doubt that the law will pass, and if so, it will go iutooperatlon the Ist of next July. Baron Bulow. One of the prominent officers of the Costa Rican army is a Prussian Baron of tho name of Bulow. He held a command in the army of Bluchor when it so opportunely arrived to the aid of Wellington on the field ’of Waterloo. Some years ago he took part in an emigration scheme to this Continent, which did not, how ever, answer the expectations of its progeni tors. Afterwards he took up liis residence in Central America. A gentleman who saw him tn Honduras several years since, states that ho is ono of the most expert marksmen he ever saw. and expresses the opinion that if there are many like him in the Costa Rican army, a bloody and doubtful contest is before the force of General Walker and his Nicaragunn allies. Later from Kansas. St. Louis, May 17 —Advices from Kansas state that Governor Shannon had sent an ex press to Loxington, Mo., with the necessary papers to arrest Gov. Robinson. A Question of Veracity Between Mr. Clay ion and the British Ministry. Senate, May 14. —Mr. C layton said he had seen in the morning newspapers what purported to be an extract froth a letter from the British Minister at Washington, dated March 31st, 1866, in which Mr. Crumpton says: “It will be within your Lordship’s recollec tion that Mr. Clayton was informed by Sir Henry Bulwer, before the treaty of 1860 was signed, that Russia was tie jure and de facto a British possession, and Mr. ( layton lias on various occasions since, in conversation with me, stated that he considered Kuatnu a Brit j isli possession as much as Jamaica, or any other British West India Island. Mr. Clayton branded thjs statement as ut terly untrue in every particular. The British , Minister must have labored under 11 hallucin ation us strange as ever entered the brain of I any man to make sueh a declaration. Noth ! ing like it had ever escaped him in conversa tion with Crumpton or any body else. Fortu 11,1 toly the fact did not rest merely upon the statements of Mr. Crumpton and himself. He hud n living witness, and first he would call attention to a letter written by Mr. Crumpton, ami read in the Senate on the 1-th January, 1860, in which he, (Mr. Crumpton,) attempt ed to prove that Ruatun was not h dependency of Belize, und was not exempted from the pro vision of the treaty of 1860. Mr. Clayton had Mr. Crumpton’s testimony on the subject, and road it to the Senate. He would now read it again to contradict Mr. Crumpton's statement, which was made known to him for the first time this morning, and of which he had not the most remote conception. In this letter Mr. Crampton said— “ The dependencies of British Honduras are in my opinion, distinctly enumerated in the treaty of 1780.” Jte hud made this statement deliberately, and the irresistable conclusion was that Itus tan was not included in these dependencies. Mr. Clayton said while 110 was detained ut his lodgings, by sickness, in February or March last, he was called upon by Mr. Crittenden, aud while they were engaged iu conversation on the subject, Mr. Crampton came in to in vite him (laughter) to dine with him. He (Clayton) was too sick to accept the invitation, but took occasion to ask Mr. Crampton if he knew anything of the charge that he (Clayton) had ever admitted that Ruatun wus exempted from the operation of the treaty, and Mr. Crampton in most unqualified terms acknow ledged that there was no truth in the report that he, (Clayton,) had ever made any such intimation to him. Agditional Testimony. —Mr. Crittenden corroborated Mr. Clayton’s statement. Ho could not pretend to give the details of a conversation at which he was accidentally present, but according to his recollection, the substance of it was directly contrary to the statement iu the newspapers, and sustained the account Mr. Clayton had given of it. Mr. Clayton said he had made speech after speech in the Senate endeavoring to prove di rectly the reverse of what he was represented as admitting. He was willing to put the most charitable construction upon it, but it was an utter mistake. Mr. Cass thought it very certain Mr. Clay ton, unless in some fit of insanity, could never have said to Mr. Crampton what was attribu ted to him. Mr. Pratt inquired what evidence there was that this letter was authentic. He thought then must be some mistake. Mr. Clayton had no knowledge as to its au thenticity'. When his attention was called to it this morning, he was much astonished, and his first duty was to disprove the statement. No matter by whom made —it was false. If Mr. Crampton never made such a statement, he was not injured by these remarks; but if he did make it, it was for Mr. Crampton to ex plain. It had appeared in the public prints, and until it was denied or disavowed, Mr. Clayton was bound to suppose it was a genuine document. He should, however, he very hap py to be assured to the contrary. Mr. Fish, in response to a question from Mr. Clayton, said that in the course of two interviews with Mr. Crampton, the latter had stated that Mr. Clayton always denied that Ruatan was a British possession, lie Clay ton) thought there must he some mistake in tho copy of the letter. Mr. Cass said that Great Britain, being re peatedly driven from oue point of defence, had invariably taken refuge at another, and recent events had showed this more strongly than ever. The Wheat Crop in Tennessee. The Knoville Register of the 15tli instaut says: From many reports, which reach us, we fear that the wheat crop, iu many places, is destined to turn out badly. The fly lias made its appearance in several portions of this coun ty, and many wheat-fields have suffered se verely. The idications are that the damage by the fly, is pretty general throughout lower East Tennessee. Dr. Davis, of Post Oak Springs, in Roane county, writes us: “ The wheat crop, as far as I have seen it, seems destined to destruc tion, by the Hessian fly. I have examined the bunches in several fields aud found from one to forty eggs attached to the stalks.” The Maryville East Tennesseean, of last week says: From some of our farming friends we learn that great fears are entertained that they will not make a half crop of wheat, on account of the fly. It looked quite promis ing until within a few weeks, and now some of the farmers are willing to sell their crop for the feud. The last Athens Post says the wheat has been injured by the fly in that region. Persons from upper East Tennessee inform us that the fly has not been noticed iu that section, and the wheat is quite promising. The Growing Wheat Crop. Mo have advices from all parts of the West ern States, including Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, lowa, and Wisconsin, from which wo learn that, with the exception of Tennessee, where it has been frozen out, the growing wheat looks exceedingly promising and henlthv. I'he breadth of land sown with wheat last tall was greatly increased over former years; and the indications now are, that should tho present month prove favorable, the wheat crop of 1860 will bo the lnrgcst by *JS per cent, ever gathered in the Union. The fate of the wheat crop cannot be decided upon with any certainty until after the middle of June.— C memnati Price Current. - Rail Road Telegraph. . le Michigan Central llnil Rond Company, is engaged in ereetiug substantial telegraph connection between Detroit and Chicago. The ; cost will he about two thousand dollars per month, which, of course, they intend to save, ; ‘ ,l freedom from accident, delnys, kc. Every train will carry an instrument, which can be connected with the line at a moment’s notice, by which the situation and direction of every train upon the whole road can be known at once. This improvement will be equal to a double track for convenience, safety and des- I patch; it will be finished in a few weeks. Brunswick City Lots. Alluding to the lute sale of lots in liiuus wick, the Herald says : .* The character of the purchasers may bo inferred from the fact, that although the sale was continued till near sun-set. at which time there was a railroad meeting, contracts were made that evening for improvements on the lots purchased. There are many persons here desirous of purchasing —and had intended do ing so—but the lots sold for more than they anticipated, and they have not yet got their ideas sufficiently elevated to carry out their intentions.” Iu this connection, we publish the following from the Savannah Republican, as matter of news merely, highly interesting to many of our readers , the Republican is commenting on the late Brunswick Railroad meeting, aud says: It seems that the Directors have declined to surrender certain chartered privileges to the Atlantic & Gulf Company, which surrender was made by the provisions of the charter a necessary condition to the success of the last mentioned work. We are also told that the Main Trunk road was left wholly out of the question, and the Company resolved to push forward their own work according to the ori ginal plan. Contracts were made with plan ters along the Brunswick survey for grading and wooden superstructure as far as the Alla paha, which, we are told, is some seventy miles beyond the proposed initial point of the Main Trunk road : while arrangements have been made with northern houses to furnish the iron for the whole of this distance. Nor is this all: we are told that the Brunswick Company, not content with destroying all pros pect of the Main Trunk, have determined to frustrate a connection between Savannah and Florida east of the Allapaha, and have order ed their engineers to survey and locate a branch line over the same route, they claim ing exclusive privilege twenty miles on either side, not only of their main line, but of their branches. They have also determined on an other branch, from their main line to Alban}'. Our contemporary of the Georgian k Jour nal is evidently alarmed at these bold ftml de cided movements on the part of the Brunswick Company, and seems to think that it is entire ly iu the power of the Company to carry out all which they resolved upon doing. We shall not say it is not in their power, but wo may say that the late meeting devolped no addi tional “ways and means” to those which they possessed heretofore, when they failed to do it. For ourselves, we see nothing in the late proceedings at Brunswick to excite our appre hension on account either of the interests of Savannah, or of the Main Trunk Railroad. And especially do we join issue with our con temporary in his suggestion that the “ true policy ” of Savannan, is “to strike directly for Albany.” Allied Navy in the Gulf. The late Kingston, Jamaica, Journal says: Id. B. M. ship Powerful (83) Captain Massie, from this port to Havana, with orders to unite all the English and French naval forces sta tioned in the Mexican Gulf, and to start im mediately for Nicaragua. The French frigate L’ Ambuscade had reach ed Punta Arena with strict orders to put down fillibustering expeditions she might fall in with on the high seas. The screw steamship Pembroke (GO) Capt. George H. Seymour, and the screw steamship Cornwallis, (60 guns) Capt. George G. Wel lesly, were waiting orders at Bermuda on the 3d March. Rev. James 11. DeVotie. The friends of this able minister of the Gospel will be pleased to learn, that he has been called and accepted the Pastorate of the Baptist Church at Columbus, Georgia. We regret to lose as able a man from our State, but we congratulate the citizens of Columbus in being able to secure the services of a gen tleman of so devout piety, and so an able divine as the Rev. James 11. Devotie.— Marion (Ala.) Commonwealth. Head Quarters of the Indians. The Alligator (Fla.) Advertiser of the 9th instant, says that Col. Wright of the exploring party, has made a report to Col. Whitney sta stioned at that place, in which he states that the Seminoles have made Gulf Hammock, in Levy county, their place of rendezvous. Trails had been seen, at various points in the neigh borhood, leading into the Hammock, and it is believed that the greater portion of the sav ,ages ai - e ensconced in that swamp from which they sally forth 011 their depredations. Col. Wright calls for aid to explore it, as his pres ent force is wholly inadequate for that pur pose. The necessary aid lias been sent for ward by the Governor. The Tampa Penin sular of the 10th, says two soldiers were fired upon by a party of Indians at Fort Drum on the 2d instant, but the latter made their es cape into the hammock. —Savannah Rep. Mr. Mace, who testified before the commit tee of Congress in Kansas, in relation to some of the outrages perpetrated there, has been shot at by an unknown person, and narrowly escaped with his life. He was badly wound ed. Another Attempt, —Last Monday night, another attempt was made to set fire to Judge Bird’s residence, at the same place where the former attempt was made. It would ho a great blessing, and a relief to every citizen in Cahaba, to find out who this incendiary can be. It seems that he confines his operations to Judgo Bird’s premises, and must be influenced by some feeling of interest or hostility to him or his family —Cahaba (Ala) Gazette. Frost on the Ninth of May. N e learn that considerable frost was seen in this latitude on the 9th inst., in low places. The weather during the latter part of last week was rather cool for comfort, and the crops suffered considerably from the effects of it. —Marion (Ala.) Commonwealth. Congressional. May 10 —In the Senate a resolution was adopted directing that experiments be made at the mint, with a view of detecting and pre venting unlawful deterioration of coius. lhe action of the Naval Board was then dis cussed. Senate adjourned until Monday. The House was engaged with the Court of Claims’ budget. V rule was finally adopted, that all bills from the Court be referred to the Committee on Claims, and that the Committee he allowed to report every Friday. House adjourned until Monday. Important to American Travellers. It is perhaps not generally known that the Austrian government has given notice that the American travelling passports will not be re spected by their officials if they bear date three years anterior to 1860. It is, therefore proper for Americans about visiting Aus- ! tria to have their passports renewed, which can be done by forwarding the same to the State Department at Washington directly, or j through the proper authorities in the different I cities. — Exchange.
