■low to Send Money.
In remitting money by mail, the
safest way to do so is by Draft, or Post
Office money order; and when neither of
these can be had, send in “Registered”
Letter. A letter can be “registered” at any
Post Office in the United States, as no Post
Master has any right to refuse, when asked
to do so.
Personal.
Ilia Excellency, Governor R. B. Bullock,
passed through our city last night en route
for Atlanta.
Richmond Superior Court.
This Court was in stssion all day yester
day, and travelled through with one divorce
case and two claim cases. It will be -in
session again to day.
-
Hand Off.
The colored man who was brought to the
city shot, on Sunday, had his hand amputa
ted ou Monday afternoon. He is otherwise
in a fairway of recovery.
An Owner Wanted.
• Who is the owner of the hat and auger
left in a certain gentleman’s yard in the
neighborhood of the canal, night before
last?
Habeas Corpua.
On yesterday John Talbott, colored, sued
out a habeas corpus before Judge Me Laws,
for the possession of a colored child named
Rosa Marshall. His Honor gave John the
child, and ordered the defendant to foot the
bill of costs.
Lost.
See advertisement in another column.of a
pair of Gold Sleeve Buttons, set with green
Blood Stones, lost between Georgia Railroad
and this office. The owner’s name is en
graved on one button. The finder is re
quested to leave them, and be liberally
rewarded for so doing, at.L9O Broad street.
Negro Killed.
We learn that a negro man was run over
by the up passenger train, near Waynesboro,
on Monday morning last,about 2 o’clock, and
killed. The train was rounding a sharp
curve, and no blame was attached to any one
connected with it, as it was one of those un
avoidable accidents not uncommon. The
man's name was unknown.
Extravagant.
To pay expenses to Atlanta, to attend the
meeting of the Legislature, expecting to get
a fat office, after you had voted and worked
for Democracy in the last election to the
extent of your ability—we tell you, it won’t
pay. You will lose your money, and, may
be, a part of your temper, sure.
Dead, Perhaps.
The Macon Journal d? Messenger learns
that W. P. Edwards, of Taylor county, Rep
resentative elect from the Third Congres
sional District of this State, died at Butler,
two or three days ago. The Journal says he
died of delirium tremens. As that is a
democratic disease, and as Edwards was a
Republican, we don’t believe it.
Burglary in the Night.
Messrs, C. A. Williams A Co. had their
store broken into night before last, and a
lot of bacon and lard stolen therefrom.
The burglars made an entrance through
the wall on one side of the rear door. This
was done in despite of a severe watchdog
and the guardian of the night upon that
beat. The noise was heard distinctly on
Reynolds street, not only the barking and
noise of the dog, but the hammering upon
the bricks. The dog is supposed to have
been quieted in an unusual way before
entrance was made, for he is a very vicious
animal.
We learn, since writing the above, that
Messrs. Williams, through the active exer
tions of our efficient police, have succeeded
in finding, not only the Bacon, but the Lard
lost, and what is best, also the thief and the*
receivers.
■Murder In Ogleiliorpc County.
We learn from a private letter, received
on yesterday, that Mr. 11. D. Baker, living
near Lexington Depot, Georgia Railroad)
w ” 8 brutally murdered on Saturday morn
mg last at his own house by a man named
M. R. Drummonds, It is said that Drum
moods crept upon Baker and shot him
fhree or four times, and then stubbed him
ln both sides, walking away with the remark
•bat it gave him consolation to know that
he had killed one d—d Radical.” Drum
monds has fled, and we presume a reward
Wl ' l be offered for him by the Governor.
Mr. Baker leaves a young widow, and one
w more children to mourn for his untimely
end.
County Court at Chambers.
Judge McLaws had a levee yesterday, and
bad only two cases worthy of special men
tion, to'wit:
State vs- Frank Taylor (colored) —charged
with simple larceny. Pleaded guilty, and
was sentenced to four months on the Public
Works.
State vs. Oliver and Emma Smith—in two
eases, one of them for abusive and naughty
words, and the other on a peace warrant.
Both were held to bail, and gave bonds.
Western Union Telegraph Co.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Western Union Telegraph Company
will be held at the Executive Office of the
Company, 145 Broadway, on the second
Wednesday (Bth) of July, 1868, at noon of
that day.
—— • 1 " • -
Why J
We would inquire if there is any statute
forbidding newsboys from selling papers at
the Union Depot. If not, wbat right has
the special policeman there to club or kick
one of the little fellows merely for offering
to sell his newspapers to passengers ? A
gentleman who arrivtd on the train from
Atlanta, yesterday morning, tells us that
he saw the watchman at the depot treat a
newsboy shamefully. This practice needs
the attention of the railway management.
A New Way to Get Collards.
We have all heard of boring artesian
wells, and we all know’ about button hole
bores; but the very latest attempt at boring
occurred Monday night, where the guard
on duty in a well known garden in this city
discovered an intruder just over the wall,
fired at him, and in bis escape he left
behind him his hat and an auger, and took
away some shot in his carcase. He evi
dently was intent on “boring tor collards
if not, what-could he find to bore at in a
vegetable garden?
♦ ■ -
Legacy.
A recently deceased Democratic candi.
date for the Georgia Legislature, of the
plain color, left his property to his
“colored” wife and children, and yet this
man and his party are so horror struck at
“social equality 1” Was this woman raised
up, or was he not razed down by his own
acts? Will Aunt Hannah answer the
question ? or, in her reticence, will some
other brother of the so called take the old
woman's place and answer?
Richmond County Academy.
By the merest accident we learned, on
yesterday, that there was an annual exami
nation, or something of the sort, going on
there. We know nothing of who has this
school in charge, but we believe it is a public
institution, and one in which, it seems to us,
all our people have an interest, at least all
those who are tie friends of education- We
are of the latter class of the people. We
believe that ignorance, and with it supersti
tion and old-wives fables, is the prime cause
of all the crimes, disease, death and unhap -
piness in this country, and that, on the other
hand, liberal ideas, untrammelled thought
and educated minds are the only hope of our
temporal or spiritual salvation.
-<♦>—
Street Beggar*.
This class arc getting to be numerous and
troublesome. On yesterday they were out
in force —young’boys and young women,
looking strong enough to tie us, begging
alms 1 Did you ever hear of “the like of
that now?” We gave them an editor's alms,
and what is that, ch? “Go to work, ye
spalpeens.”
One ease got us—we went under—we
couldn’t help it—and God forbid we ever
should —that was a poorly clad, sightless
man. Blind I unable to see the beauties of
God’s creation around him day and night—
deprived by an accident of the most precious
boon (sight) ever given to man—groping
his weary existence until his lime comes,
led by another. Who could refuse a pit
tance? Could you, reader? We went
under—we divided with him ; and not
wishing to boost, we say emphatically that
we are amply remunerated. The cheering
associations of yesterday with our fellow
men, with whom we came afterwards in con
tact, amply repaid the first annoyance, and
the after sacrifice. Go thou and do lilte
wise.
“ ’Tis not all of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.”

“He’s Thur.”
We well remember an obi shrewd horse
jockey once, who spurred a friend terribly
in a horse trade. The horse old Lip sold
was a generally useful animal. Will he
plough? “He’s thar,” answered Lip. Will
he draw in harness? “He’s thar.” Does
he ride well ? "He’s thar.” The horse was
bought, paid for and taken home. He was
tried at everything, but would neither
plough, draw, or be ridden. Os course, dis
satisfaction was the result, and the horse was
carried back; but old Lip refused to take
him. “Why, you said be would plough,
draw in harness, and was good under the
saddle,” said our friend, in great indignation.
“I never told you any such thing. Mr. ,
replied old Lip; “I only said, ‘he was thar,’
in answer to your questions, and I’ll be
blessed if he uiu.t thar; but you are smarter
than I am, if you can get him away from
thar, for I’ve known him some time, and,
before I came across you, never could find a
man fool enough to touch him. Good-bye.”
Legal.
We came across the following yesterday.
It is a genuine document, and no mistake,
of a “J. P," delivered to his Bailiff, with
orders to serve the paper instanter, to-wit:
“Bo wise—by my experience taught,
I die, alas, for want of thought.”
Mr. Jailer—ls you do not deliver prisoner,
according to the State's Warrant* in hand, I will
haul you up before Judge to-morrvw at
#». n>.

* N. B.—The Jailor had refused to respond, in
the forenoon, to the State’s Warrant.
The reply and the prisoner, upon the
receipt of the above mandamus, were both
delivered up to the officer:
Hon. ,J. P., Late Captain of the Glorious
old G. JI.:
Dear Sir—l disclaim the assumption of ally
authority, as the “Hoc Pocus” was produced—l
submit. Respectfully,
Formerly a good W—ky taker.
N. B. —What do you say ?
The Court says:
“Mr. Bailiff, dismiss the case.”

[From the Circular of Wm. Bryce <fc Co.
New York Colton Review.
New York, June 26, 1868.
Our last Circular reviewed the market to the
19th inst-, when we quoted Uplands at lljd in
Liverpool with an active market, and at 31c
here with but little doing. On Saturday, Liver
pool was loss active, although unchanged in
price. The market here opened steady, but
with the very light existing demand closed
heavy and lower on spies of 1,400 bales. On
Monday, Liverpool declined Jd, and the market
here was nominally unchanged, holders refusing
to make any concession, and buyers declining
to go on without; sales 600 bales. On Tuesday,
Liverpool was very dull; sales 7,000 at lljd.
On this news buyers almost wholly withdrew
from the market, and several holders with
peremptory orders to sell, accepted a decline of
nearly one cent on current grades. The busi
ness was confined to 667 bales, all to spinners,
and 30c was the basis of the outside asking
price. On Wednesday, Liverpool was again off
jd, Uplands being quoted lljalUd. There was
less pressure to sell hero, and although not
quotably higher, the tone of the market was
decidedly better. The sales reached 1,100 bales,
mostly all to spinners. On Thursday, Liver
pool was more active; sales 12,000, and prices
116 d better. The business hero was very fair,
footing up 3,100 bales at fully 4c advance on
all grades. At the close, 3le was the best price
at which Upland Middlings could bo bought,
although 30Jc was the basis on which quotations
were made. One feature of the day was the
sale of 700 bales for export. To-day the market
has been excited, and prices are fully one cent
higher. The advance has been made on the
largo spinning demand, and has been mos.
noticeable in the former grades.
Cable advices have come regularly to hand
and report a rather irregular market in Liver
pool, the closing price being about the same as
last week. Sales of the week 68,000 bales, of
which 45,000 went to the trade, 14,000 to ex
porters, and 9,000 to speculators. Stock in port
607,000 bales, including 369,000 from this coun
try. Cotton at sea for Great Britain 539,000
bales, iucluding 39,000 from America. Visible
supply on the spot and afloat 1,146,000.
Our own market has been rather irregular, but
closes at higher figures current at the date of our
last review. The buying has been done almost
wholly by our spinners, exporters being com
pletely shut out of the market, as far as spot
Cotton gees, and we do not find any transit lots
offering. As usual with only a home demand,
the grades below Low Middling have been almost
unsaleable, and the* quotations for them are
nominal. A more marked difference in price has
■been made between Upland and Gulf Cottons
than any time this season ; the latter varieties
are scarce, and generally held above the views of
buyers. The assortment on sale has been poor,
and the offerings on no day very large ; the de
mand bas, lowcvor, been of a sluggish nature,
and some little pressing has been noticeable,
especially on dull drye. ISpinuers have not taken
their consumption any week yet, and it is gene
rally believed wo will have a much more active
market after July Ist, when many of the corpo
rations make up their annual or semi-annual
statements. Speculation has continued torpid,
and, without some bad crop accounts are received,
we do not look for any renewal of the specula
tive movement till next Fall. But little has been
heard of importing Cotton from Great Britain,
and it is not likely to occur until prices rise
materially on this side, for to leave any margin
of pront, Miaaisoße cqstina lljd. in Liverpool,
with gold at 1.40, would havv u. j, 8r g p or
over 33c., aud the probability of the importation
at the rates now current is palpably slight. It is
certain that good clean Cotton will be very scarce
in Europe before our new crop comes in, and
some of our operators Lave been ordering Mid
dling Cotton bought in Liverpool, and it is said
that it is extremtly difficult to purchase that
grade at the daily quotations ; those consumers
in Manchester who arc compelled to use fine
American Cottons, will soon have to stock their
mills, in anticipation of the scarcity certain to
occur in September and October next. The com
moner sorts of Amer can will, no doubt, move
comparatively slowly, when the Indian.fleet
begins to arrive, aud a fair supply of Surats
comes in the market.

Louisiana Legislature,
New Orleans, June 30—When the Sen
ate met this morning only the names of 19
Republicans, who took the test oath yester
day, were called—all answered. After roll
call Sambola, Democrat, remarked that his
name had not been called, and informed the
chair that he was present.
The chair replied, that there were other
gentlemen present whose names had not been
called, and who had not interrupted the
business of the Senate.
While the minutes were being read, Jewell,
of New Orleans, rose and demanded that the
communication from the commanding Gen
eral, which he knew was in the possession of
the presiding officer, relative to the oath to
be taken by Senators, should be read before
any other business should be transacted.
No attention was paid to the demand.
After some difficulty, order was restored,
and the Secretary finished the reading of the
minutes.
The Chairman of the Committee on Elec
tions reported that Hugh J. Campbell,
Republican, was entitled to a seat as Senator
from the Second District, in piace of Anthony
Sambola, Democrat, declared elected by
Gen. Buchanan, the Committee saying, in
their report, that Gen. Buchanan had no
r'ght to change the return of the registrars,
thus directly charging the Commanding
General with fraud.
On motion that Campbell be sworn in, 17
votes were cast, all in the affirmative.
Campbell took his seat, giving the Repub
licans twenty present.
No Democratic member could obtain
"recognition by the Chair.
A motion to allow Blackman, DetiWierat,
to address the Senate was tabled.
The Chair then handed a communication
to the Secretary, which he was directed to
read, and which proved to be the document
demanded by Jewell. It was an order
addressed to 0. J. Dunn.
Tue Lieutenant Governor, as President of
the Senate, communicated the following
telegram of Gen. Grant to Gen. Buchanan :
‘"I have no orders at present to give, but I
repeat to you, as heretofore, that the mem
bers of the Louisiana Legislature tire only
required to take the oath prescribed by their
Constitution, and are not required to take
the test oath prescribed in the Reconstruction
Acts. Generals Meade and Canby are acting
on this view of the case. (Signed)
“U. 8. Grant.”
Gen. Buchanan directs that the oath pre
scribed by the Constitution, and no other, be
required.
Dunn suggested that the communication
be referred to a Committe, which suggestion
was adopted, the Committee to be appointed
after the election of permanent officers.
A tesolution ratifying the Fourteenth
Amendment was offered, but was postponed
till the House was heard from.
Adjourned.
In the House, similar scenes were enacted.
A copy of Grant's telegram was read to
the House, and referred to a Committee.
The Committee on Elections reported
adversely to the entire Democratic delega
tion from Caddo Parish, whose names appear
in the election order. The Republicans were
accordingly sworn in.

The City Comptroller, Sheriff and District

Congressional.
Washington, June 30.— Senate: Arcso
lution from the Texas Reconstruction
Convention, narrating disorders and mur
ders in that State, was referred io the Judi
ciary Committee. ,
Thomas W. Osborn, as Senator from
Florida, was seated by a vote of thirty three
to six.
Civil appropriation was resumed and
discussed to adjournment.
House: Several purely political motions,
referring to finances, were introduced and
discussed without definite action.
It is evident the object of the Republi
cans is to make finance a paramount ques
tion in the approaching contest, ignoring or
making a secondary condition of the South
under the Reconstruction Acts.
Credentials from the Florida representa
tives were referred to the Election Com
mittee.
The River and Harbor Bill, without
amendment affecting the South, passed. It
goes to the Senate.
A joint resolution to adjourn on-the 15th
of July passed by 91 to 47.
The Alaska appropriation was taken up,
and a night session ordered.
Washington Items.
Washington, June 30.—Numbers of
Southern delegates continue passing North
ward. Among those visiting lhe President
to day, were Cols. W. A. Reed and Arthur
Hood, of Georgia.
Crowd at the White House is too large for
poinied aonversation, but all delegates found
opportunity to say a word in condemnation
of the harsh treatment of citizens of Colurn
bus, tfa., uro imprisoned at Atlanta by-
Gen. Meade.
Full but brief Cabinet session to day.
Sentiments of Southern delegates give a
glow to Hancock’s prospects. An under
current for Chase isquite strong.
Grant departed westward with his family.
Gen. Rawlins officiates during Grant's
absence.
The Senate had an executive session, but
did nothing. Action of any kind in an
executive way until after the nomination is
improbable.
The Senate tabled the House resolution
to adjourn on 15th prox.
Politics to day at an absolute stand still.
Violent partisans of the various candi
dates are still keeping the old confidence,
and even in sporting circles no clue can be
had. The issue seems considered, great
as to be held sacred by the sporting fra
ternity.
Trial of the Columbus Prisoners.
Atlanta, June 30. —The Court for the
trial of the Columbus prisoners met this
morning at ten o’clock.
Ex-Gov. Brown and three associates for
the prosecution; Alex. 11. Stephens and
others for the defence.
Stephens entered the following plea in
behalf of the prisoners :
“They do not wish to be understood as
admitting the rightful jurisdiction of this
Court, constituted and organized as it now
is, under rules and articles of war, to try
officers according to the lawsand customs of
war, to take charge of the trial against the
laws of the State of Georgia, whereof they
are accused—they being all engaged in
pursuits of civil life and in no way con
nected with military service, whether in the
land or naval forces of the United States, ci
of the mililia thereof, in actual service; they
hereby expressly reserve to themselves
severally their rights hereafter to be claimed
and asserted, if need be, to insist tiiat this
trial is not in conformity with the laws of
the land, nor in accordance with their rights
of trial by jury as guaranteed under the
Constitution of the United States. All
plead not guilty.”
Charles Williams, Sergeant U. S. Army,
was the first witness. His testimony con
sumed the day, and implicates Kirksey,
Hudson, and others, in the shooting of
Ashburn.
