Another One Nulled.
On the 19th of last mouth a paragraph
appeared in the Chronicle <£' .'entinel, in
forming the tax payers of Augusta that
the City Council had offered Alexander 11.
Stephens a fee of ton thousand dollars to
defend Chief Dillon and Lieutenant Evans,
arrested for the homicide of C. A. Red.
We didn’t believe it, coming from such a
source—and wrote an interrogatory to Mr.
Stephens, and bis answer came only last
night:
“It is not true that I have been offered a
fee or retainer by either side in the case
referred to. Your letter was forwarded to
me here. I expect to be at home in two or
three weeks.

Who Is Governor 1
The Democracy of Georgia, through their
spokesman, Toombs, declare that Ciiabi.es
J, Jenkins is the lawful Governor of this
State. But our distinguished fellow-citizen
Jenkins is the man appointed under John
son’s ‘experiment’ at reconstruction—and if
the. theory of State Rights be
correct, Johnson’s action was ‘unconstitu
tional and void,’ and the only person now
entitled to hold the office of Governor in
Georgia is Hon. Joseph E. Brown, who
held the position when the military power of
the rebellion collapsed.

Recorder'* Court.
Aiderman Philpot had a lively session,
yesterday.
A colored butcher, who was ‘sloshin
around’ at the market on Saturday night—
Jos Bird—was sent to jail in default of
non payment of $25 fine. Subsequently paid.
Robert Lewis, freedman, put an enemy
in his mouth, that temporarily stole away
his brains—got drunk. Breached the 18th
section. Paid $5 and costs.
Frank Williams and Charley Cade*
colored, were consigned to the work-house,
fifty days each, for fractures of the 18th
section.
A young man, on Ellis street, plain, paid
J 25 and costs, for the fun of intoxication and
cursing the police.
A wife of a Broadway restauranter was
fined SSO for getting up a good-sized dis
\lurbance at her husband’s headquarters,
yesterday forenoon. Committed.
Too Bad.
Some of the Democratic journals are very
much worried because some Republican
journals declare ‘the workingmen of this
country are not so bad off as tho European
workingmen.’ If the workingmen aro not
satisfied with this fact, all they have to do is
to vote for Seymocii and free trade, and
they will soon find themselves as ‘bad off us
the European workingmen.’ The success of
the Democratic party, with their free trade
ideas, will bring the workingmen of this
country down to the level of the pauper la
borer of the old world. If this is what our
workingmen want, they can very easily have
that want gratified, If they want good
wages, prosperity, the restoration of the na
tion’s credit, and the maintenance of the
Union —which is the easiest and only honor
able road to the payment of our national
debt—let them vote for GraKi and Colfax
Fillmore Eire Company.
At a regular meeting of Fillmore, No. '4,

The Last Hoop-Skirt,
The ‘Zepbyrina’ is the suggestive name of

'[From the Atlanta Constitution.
The Georgia Legislature.
Atlanta, September 7, 186 s.
SENATE.
Mr. Candler moved to reconsider the
action of the Senate on the relief bill,
because but one feature of the bill had
been discussed. All amendments made by
those who were ojlposed to relief were voted
down. It is wrong, because it is alone for
the benefit of one class of the people.
Mr. Adkins spoke in opposition to the
motion to reconsider. Tinies have changed
anfl now our people must have relief. This
is the most equitable law that cati be made.
The creditor and debtor bout have rights
alike.
Mr. Nunnally reviewed the argument for
and against the bill, and spoke in opposi

ceived, in which he stated that he had signed
the Air-Line bill ; also, a resolution empow
ering the State Treasurer to pay Clerks ol
Committees a certain sum, according to the
provisions ot the same.
Mr. Price moved that two hundred copies

taken up, the same being a bill to authorize
the General Assembly to elect a Board ol
Commissioners for the Western and Atlantic
Railroad, whose duty it shall be to control
the same, elect all officers, and have exclu
sive management in all matters pertaining
to the Road.
[A message from the Senate was received,
concurring in the House resolution author
izing Mr- John W. Burke to proceed with
the State printing.]
Mr. Crawford was in favor of the lull
under consideration. He proceeded to argue
that the Road had heretofore beeu run by
party, and for exclusive party purposes, in
stead of in a financial point of view. He
wished to have it run for the financial inter
ests of the State. On taking his seat, Mr.
Butt moved the previous question, but hy re
quest withdrew bis motion.
Mr. O'Neal, of Lowndes, rose in opposi
tion to the bill. Ho thought ft was a party
movement. He asked the honest Duiaocrata
of the House if Genera! Gordon had been
elected Governor would they have voted for
such a bill ?
Mr. Bryant took the floor and consumed
his fifteen minutes in opposition to the bill.
He thought this was one of the most corrupt
measures ever preientefl to Illis General
Assembly.
■ During Mr. Bryant’s remarks some one
offered a substitute for the whole, which the
Speaker rtrled out of order.
Mr. Scott obtained the floor and said that
he did not wish to make a speech, but only
wanted to stop the harangue of the gentle
man from Richmond. A few thrust were
then given and received; by both parties,
when Mr. Scott moved the previous question,

STATENEWS.
General Lafayette McLaws is at Macon,
as agent for the sale of the Winchester rifle,
that shoots 120 times » minute.
A gentleman from Lawton, Burke county,
informs us that the crops in that eection are
excellent. The season has been good, and
cons and Cotton have both done well. The
work of picking has commenced, and the
cotton is of good quality. Com is almost
ripe, and the yield will be heavy.— Savannah
Republican.
Some fiend or fiends made an attempt to
blow up the residence of Judge B. D. Smith
on Sunday night. An explosion occurred
and it was discovered that powder had been
introduced between the ceiling and weather
boarding of the house and set on Ere. The
explosion wakened the family iu timo to
prevent the house taking fire. Two men
were seen hurrying .away immediately alter
the explosion ; but there is no clue to the
perpetrators of the outrage.— Atlanta Intel
ligencer.
Savannah, through her Gulf Koad, is
fighting us for the present cotton crop of
Southwestern Georgia. The contest prom
ises to be a spirited one. The Central and
the Southwestern Railroads are fully strip
ped and in regular trim for the tight, and,
iu the melee, freights will go down to the
atmosphere of aero. The opposing forces
have steamboats on the Flint, Thronateeska
and the Chattahoochee, with instructions to
get cotton at some sort of rates if they can,
and if not, get it anyhow. Their main busi
ness is to get cotton. The longest pole
knocks down the persimmons. As the Cen
tral and Southwestern have spliced their
poles, the Gulf will hardly be able to find*
timber enough to make one to match.—Ma
con Messenger.
Thomasville, Ga., September 3, 1868.
Editor emi Sih—l send you
per Express some of the caterpillars now
destroying our cotton. These were gathered
from my field this morning, at 11 o'clock,
and will leave here at Ip. m. You will see
how they are destroying, not only the leaves
and tender forms, but also some of the bolls.
This is a complaint as far as this
county extends, and as far as wc can hear.
Our best informed and most reliable planters
say that not more than one-third of a crop
can possibly be realized. The entire crop
can lie gathered and prepared for market by
the last of October or early in November.
Very respectfully, A. J.
[We have received the box above referred
to, containing the caterpillars and samples
of bolls, and die devastation these pestifer
ous iiLsects have made is sad to contemplate.
Every boll is Completely riddled.]
[Savannah Republican.
This morning about 8 o’clock, the new
bridge being built across the Chattahoochee
river, in consequence of the rising waters,
which drifted rafts of timber against the
temporary structures, washed them away,
and the whole came down with a tremendous
crash and fatal results; taking neiftly the
entire second span, which reached the brick
pier, a distance from the wooden one of
about three hundred feet, The cries mid
groans of the sufferers, like a panic shock,
was soon communicated to the inhabitants,
and our city was iu general commotion, rush
ing to the river tq save the perishing ones.
Shifts and floatboats were procured, and
the dead and [he wounded were landed along
on the banks of the river from the ruins of
the fallen bridge, as they drifted down the
stream.
About thirty hands were employed ou the
bridge—ffiiany were working underneath
and a large number of spectators were also
on the bridge, at the time it full. All went
down together, from an altitude of about 80

[From tho Circular of Wm. Bryce & Co.
New York Callon 'Review.
New Yom, Sept 4, 1868.
Cur List circular reviewed the market to the
28th ult., when wo quoted Uplands as steady in
Liverpool at lid., and Low Middlings weak at
28e hero. On Saturday, tho business in Liver
pool was 15,000 bales at unchanged prices. Very
little was done here, only 1,200 bales being sold,
and no noticeable difference was made in quota
lion.-. Ou Monday, there was no change in Liv.
•rpeol, and tho market here was steady on the
good grades, and firmer on the lower ones. Sales
1,500 bales—l,ooo to Spinners, 300 to exporters,
and 200 on speculation. Gold 1.445. On Tues
day, Liverpool was more quiet; sales 12,000
bales at lid. A good demand existed here frofu
spin- ers, and a very large quantity was sold fur
future delivery. The heavy receipts at New
Orleans made holders a little more anxious to
sell. On Wednesday, Liverpool was again quoted
quiet, and more anxiety to sell was noticeable
here; the lots of now Cotton offering, to arrive,
gave buyers decidedly the advantage. Sales
2,800 bales, mostly to consumption. On Thurs
day, the cable advised the opening iu Liverpool
as steady, but at tho elose prides were sd. lower.
Our market followed tho tone of Liverpool, and
closed hoary at some reduction in quotations.
To day tho market has been very weak and prices
more than a half cent lower.
Cable advices report a steady market in Liver
pool, although less active than the two preceding
weeks. Sales of the week 69,090 bales, including
46,000 to the trade, 18,000 to exporters, and
5,000 to speculators. Stock in port 512,000 bales,
including 175,000 American. Afloat for Groat
Britain 672,000 bales, including only 3,000 frotq
this country.
Import has been less than last year by 114,550
bales, the consumption has been more by 200,560
bales, the actual export less by 163,280 bales,
and the stock is less by 256,430 baies than in
1867, Cotton afloat from India by mail advices
to July 21, for Groat Britain, footed up 710,000
bales, against 531,0a0 same time last year. By
cable to the 14th ultimo, 6,500 bales were known
to be afloat from America for Great Britain,
against 26,000 baies last year. The visible tup
ply of all kinds foots up 1,232,710 bales, against
1,325,640 ia 1867. Bullion ia Bank $20,735,201.
Our own market for the week under review, as
Will be’ noted from the summery above given,
baa been quite active, although at generally
easier figures ter spot cottons All classes of
buyers have taken their share, although spinners
have been our main reliance. Tho demand for
Ordinaries opened very briskly and soon checked
Itself by tho advance demanded by holders, and
wo close with but little inquiry for thia grade,
owing to tho above reason, and the low range for
gold. Good Ordinaries have not boon particu
larly active, and have mostly gone to exporters
on a basis of 25c. The stock of these cottons is
ran 1, even when compared with our scanty
total stock. Low Middlings have been irregular,
and tho name now covers a very wide range of
grades. The demand has been wholly from
spinners, and our quotationsreprosont tho prices
paid. For Middlings there has been but little
inquiry, and buyers of this grade seem willing to
defer buying until tho new o»op begins te come
in more freely. For fine eottens there has
been a little call, but mostly for small par
cols; the prices paid have been most
irregular. In Cottons to arrive, there has been
some little movement at rates a shade under spot
prices. The main feature of the wook has been
the excitement in cantracts for December and
November delivery ; in our last circular wo re
ferred to tho advancing tendency of those options,
and during tho week, under a strong demand
from spinners, shippers arid speculators, prices
have become fully one cent dourer. Wo quote
25c sellers’ option for November, and 24a24jcfor
same option rest of tho year. The sales of this
description have amounted to several thousand
bales, aud there are large orders here (mainly
from the South) to buy at a slight reduction from
rates as above quoted—the estimates of the
crop received from some sections fully justifying
such orders to purchase. The tendency of "gold
has been downward, and the closing rates are
fully one point lower than last week. Sterling
has been dull, but closes a shade steadier than
our last quotations.

to this office; and whereas, from the said proceed
ings it appears that the cause of the alleged ineli
