“Cotched at It."—The telegraphic re
port that the Senate of the United States
has ordered an investigation to ascertain
whether corrupt means have been used to
influence the vote of any Senator on the
Georgia hill, needs explanation : and the
only explanation that we have yet seen is
the following, which we cut from the spe

instant, to the Richmond lh'*patc\
“Railroad bonds indorsed by the State
of Georgia have b<vn offered to secure

Congressmen properly appreciate them.
All intelligent men everywhere, whoso
minds are not so biased by party preju
dice as totally to prevent the exercise of
reason and judgment, know that these
stories are trumped up, just at this par
ticular time, to help the schemes of u fac
tion in Georgia desperately striving to se
cure an unconstitutional prolongation of
l owc-r and the emoluments of office, llut
a President of the United Status, whose
duty it is “from timo to time to give Con
gress information of the state of the
l nioii, accepts them as true reports and
permits them to influence him against the
recommendation of an important measure
which lie had previously resolved to favor!
Here is exhibited either ft degree of
credulity that is pitiable as well us de
plorable. or a degree of hypocrisy dis
graceful to the high station which he
hold 1.

THE PRESIDENT'S VIEWS ON THE
REMOVAL ')•' DISABlI.ri IES.
Special tothr S> ,r Jferald.
Wahiiinuton, April 13. I staled in my
dispatches hud night that the J’resident
did not intend, for the present at least, to
Bond a message to Congress recommend
ing tlm general removal of disabilities. I
am able to-night to confirm that stale
meut on the v*.ry highest authority that
of the President himself. In the *eoiiise
of a brief conversation with the President
this morning 1 asked him whether he in
tended, us reported several times liitely,
to issuo an amnosty proclamation or to
aend a special message to Congress recom
mending the removal of disabilities im
posed by the Fourteenth Amendment!'
lie smiled good hutnorcdly and answered;
“No. sir. I don’t intend to issuo an am
nesty proclamation nt all. My predeces
sor, President Johnson, exhausted that
pretty thoroughly smiling,: but it impute
true that I did some tune ugo contemplate
sending to Congress a special m«.i
recommending tho removal "f nil disabili
ties. I thought that u fitting occasion f..r
a message of the kind would bo the resto
ration of Texas and tho other States to
the Union, believing that it would have
the effect to promote general good feeling
mid harmony throughout thn South: but
since then there have been so many com- j 11,1
plaints about outrages in the South and ! pi
requests for military interposition in some j
of tho States- like Tennessee and North |
Carolina — that I have reconsidered mv
resolution. I have come to tho conclu
sion that so long as the state of society in
those districts is such as to rail for mili
tary aid to preserve order, it would ho
useless to recommend to Congress the re
moval of disabilities. For the present,
therefore. 1 cannot send that message to
Congress."
f asked the President if it was true that
he had had a message of tho kind pre
pared ready to send to Congress, lie ru-
plied, “Yea, nr, and went on to state
that the document laid been nil ready, but
its presentation was abandoned for the j
notes of tho muteriul facts and

S .mo idea of tho slow work that Con

derived from the fact that tho House has
before it a reported bill of nixty pages,
and lias only considered and fixed the
r.iteH of articles contained iu the first sev
en «>r eight pages. When tho bill gets
through tho House it has to go to the
Senate, and if it passes that body it will
probably bo with amendments requiring

The following extract from u letter from
a soldier on tho l'laius to u friend in Mil
waukee, in printed in Iho J'Jrinin!/ H ' v -
ronttin of that city .
“We arc after tho ludmimhot Mast, and
1 tell you the man who picks those fellows
up for dogans finds himself woefully de
ceived. A part of our troop had been on
the trail of a small band "f Sioux, and
they bad dodged us, and bother' d us. and
h<mt us, until we determined to havolhuin,
ami it appeared, so suddenly, too, that
there was in lelmneo for them to escape.
Each man Heated himself squarely in his
saddle, and with rovolver in band we
dashed on. There squat each identical
Sioux on Ids pony just as though we were
miles away, and us stoically indifferent as
though they did not care a continental.
As wo, at full gallop, drew m ar, theollicer
iu command felt that we were riding into
homo trap, but it was too Into lo sound a
retreat, uud on wo went.
“I think tlm distance between us and
thn Sioux and their ponu.swnb just twelve
feet before a single redskin bad moved a
musclo; then, quicker than you could * ay
‘seat,’ off from Hie shoulders of inch
identical Sioux came the fiery led blank'.I
he worn, and up ami down it wa;« .shaken
vigorously in the very farm* of our horses.
We had boasted a great 'leal over those
horscH, and they would do uu.vtliing we
wanted them to tlm! is to:,ay, they would
drive through a prairie fiialongside a
bull buffalo, through a jnaii in dog village,
and over dead Jinliam., but 1 tell you, you
ought to have seen them, lo u horse, turn
tail and run from those blankets. Wo
were getting along so nicely, ami each
trooper was so eager to make a dead suro
thing of his redskin, that we let the horses
have much their own way. and we repent
ed of it. Just as flight ein d as they could
be, and away they went in every direction.
“Troops were sprawling on Iho ground,
and others were clinging to horses' manes,
with both feet not only out of the stir
rups, but pointing up in the air. It was
the worst stampede I ever saw. and I have
looked at ‘some' in my day. If tlio Sioux
had followed up they might have made u
few scalps, but they scorned so well pleased
with tho result of the trick that those who
were unhorsed near them say they disap
peared as if they Lad gone down through
the earth. When our troops assembled,
we, ono and all, declared that the thing
best of the kind ever heard of,
urgent necessity.
Bui tlm Court cannot recognize any ne
«•' isity above or beyond the Constitution.
Tl.ut is the limit of its view. Its duly i*,
not to decide whether an act of Congress
was needed or not, but whether it was
constitutional or not. What aro called
necessities aro frequently mere purlisau
considerations, and the Gourt cannot en
tertain them, even though they represent

of tho Court, und Congross had no power

Bui tlmro is ono view of thin question
that, tho champions of Congressional om
nipotence seem to bavo overlooked. They
claim for Congress the power to iiiuko u
creditor accept depreciated paper in pay
ment of n debt contracted in coin that,
is, contracted when tho only legal tender
was coin. Tlio depreciated paper may be
worth tio cents on tho dollar; it. may bo
worth 10 cents oil the dollar; it may Im
worth only to cents on the dollar; it
tlm same. If Congress has a light to
make if a legal tender for pre-existiii}.
debts, tho creditor is bound to ucccpL it
and pocket his loss without a murmur.
What, then, is to prevent tlm uppheati
of the siuiie principle to the holders
the national debt ? If Congress may i
pair tlm obligation of n thousand ct
tracts, w hy may it not impair tlm obliga
tion of one more? Jf it may compel
dinary creditors to uccopl paper for c

Wo learn that sev nil days since while
th" Deputy Slmritr «>| St. Clair county was
absent from Ins home in Ashville. a negro
man went to his bouse and insulted and
abused Uis w ife. The Shcrid', on learn
ing tlm facts, went lo tlm negro, and
while reprimanding him fur his conduct.
Jack Springfield came upnnd interfered in
tho negro’s behalf. An altercation oc
curred between tho Sheriff and Spring-
field and their friends on both sides,
whi» li rv.,lilted in tho shooting of Spring-
li"ld and olio of his brothers and the driv
ing of liis party out of tlm town. Tho
friends of Springfield then went to tho
linn of th«! Alabama and Chattanooga rail-
mail. whom u largo number of negroes
wore at worl;, ami getting about ono
hundred of (liem (ogolhor returned to
ward the town, which they threatened to
lay in ashes. Tlio citizciiB of Ashville,
hearing of this movement, organized a
parly and went out to meet tho rioters.
They were met at, Cnnoo creek, about a
mile from town, and after parleying for a
time, propoHid to tho eitizeus that if they
would give up four persons, whom they
named, to their vengeance, they (tho
Radicals) would disperso and trouble
them no more. Of course tho citizens
would not agree to this, but told tlm Had
icals that they would resist their further
advance by force of arms. After Home
further delay, tlio Radicals hogan to
Kin uk off and finally disappeared in the
direction whence they came. They wero
not to be dmutod of a victim, however
innocent though ho might be, and on
their way Imek seized oil an inoffen

At the lltli Amendment celebration in

have labored fur all my life, it would be
this : For tho next twenty years to go to
tho ballot-box and vote, not os n Republi

The meaning of the above is that l*hil-

about seven years old, by two black in

from Macon, who had murdered her hus
band and was fleeing from an officer. Tlm
father of the girl was found digging u

and w hen asked who lie was going to bury,
replied that a child had died suddenly lit
his house on tlio night before. Tho
corpse soon after arrived and on examina
tion,it was found to havo been beaten most
barbarously from bond to foci, and its
skull fractured. A coroner’s jury wuh em
paneled and an examination of the body
by Dr. Moors substaniated tho fact, that
tho girl had died under tlio terrible whip
ping she had received. Tlio testimony
proved that the girl wuh in good health on
Friday, and that Jack McCray and his
wife Rhoda, with whom slio lived were
very cruel to her. They woro committed
to jail to await triul before tho Crawford

I wish l could report that ti c ;.reu of
th" proviri* m en ps hud been largely in-
or"iis( d, ami that to bo devoted to cotton
proportionately diminished ; but i beliovo
that thi! relative proportion of 1 Mil) will
not lie maturially changed, and that “go
ing in for a big crop of cotton” is still the
prevalent practice. Indeed, from all I
can seo nnd learn, this is not only true of
this section, but will be found to bo ho
throughout tho agricultural portions of
the State. Last year the planters in this
section acted more wisely than those of
other places. They planted to produce
“enough to do them, and generally suc
ceeded ; but few raisod any surplus, wbilo
many were obliged to buy to feel the’
hands nnd stock until another crop is
gathered. I do not hco that tho lesson of
<;*.» lias produced any salutary effect,
other portions of the State,where the “all
cotton and no corn mania" was moro
prevalent than it was in this neighbor
hood, it still rages, nnd whilo overy indi
vidual funner declares most eloquently
that it is supremo folly not to plant “a
plenty of corn first und then plant os
much cotton as you can tend." I find
thut these very men who preach such
sound doctrine aro going to repeat their
folly of l ist year, expecting, doubtless,
that every ouu*will follow their good nd-
vieo, while they plant “all cotton,” and
that thus they will havo a big crop, and
“get a big price.”

The Columbia (S. C.) correspondent of
the Charleston Courier, gives tho follow
iug :
The cottou soed oil factory, under the
management of Gou. Alexander, has
made n successful start. Oils of the finest
quality have been expressed from both
the lieuo (Hcmmuni indicant) and tho cot
tou seed. Tho former i.s liner than tho
olive oil usually used for tublo use ; finer,
in having a more pleasant taste and fla
vor. 'Iho merits of this bone, which
prows in our coast districts, have beeu
discussed iu the Rural Carolinian.
The four materials from which this new
establishment can rnnko oil are, cotton
seed, bone, castor bean ; Palma. Chratti\
und tho common pindar or ground nut
(Arachin //y/><>!/"")- The cotton seed is
tho most important, in boing by all odds
tlio most abundant. This establishment
pays from 20 to 21 cents a bushel. Tho
liono is worth £3 a bushol. Tho castor
beau is worth £1.10 a bushed. Tho pin
dar is in such demand for legislative con
sumption, that tho price is too high to
make tho oil-making from it profitable.
A knowledge of those facts should stim
ulate planters to tho production of these
seeds. Cotton takes care of itself, but
bone, castor bent* and pimlurs can bo
grown with largo profit. Reno will yield
over twenty bushels to tlio acres, and this
at throe dollars per bushel, is over sixty
I fllurs an acre. The castor bean will
yield sixty bushels to the acre, and this is
uiuety dollars an acre. This grows all
over tho Stato, and is easily grown uud
gathered. Fiudars are also g'>od for cat
tle, either iu or out »>f the Legislature.
