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>. Given nnder my hand and seal this day of - 1’- [u. s-J * 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.” f.egnl.

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.

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. Adjourned. The City Comptroller, Sheriff and District Attorney have taken possession of 'heir offices, under Buchanan's order of Saturday, taking the Constitution oath. 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. —.. Missiwippi Election. Jacmon, June 30.—The second day's election has closed here. The Republican majority is 616 in this county, where there is a registered colored majority of 1,700. The election will not close throughout the State for several days. Full returns have been received from but few counties. Some of the Republican strongholds have been heard from. The majority for the Democrats, up to this time, is 12,785. The Republican newspaper at this place says that, in all the counties where the Democrats have received majorities, the election must be declared illegal and void, although there is not a single outrage known to the public. The official organ of the Republican party in this State has suspended publication. The polls at Vicksburg were kept open until 10 o’clock on Saturday night, by Gen.
