PRANK ItADICAIj ADMISSIONS.
Ben Butler is ruuuing for the Govcrn-
ortihip of MussacluiHetta, with the view of
bringing back to the Radical party the
foment men that have boon driven from
its ranks! However funny the announce
ment may seem, Ben openly proclaims it,
and admits that the party is now com
posed only of knaves and unprincipled
Lieu. In his speech at Ware, Mass., on
tho 5tli inst., hu said: “We had, in 18(18,
05,000 majority for Grant, but in 1870 we
hud only 8,000, and the cause of the loss
of 57,000 votes is that the leaders of the
Kepoblican party, in ordor to keep hold
of their places, have driven off all the
honest, true and conscientious Republi
cans." They didn't drive off Butler, it
appears, bnt it must be borne in mind
tlmt /,. had “a.place to hold." An honest
confession, it is said, is good for the soul,
but Ben's confession is not an honest one,
even if hu 1ms a soul. It is true, no
doubt, but the truth can sometimes be
told with only seltish motives, ns iu this
instance Ben Butler tells it with the hope
of thereby tluttering and gaining tho sup
port of tin' Radical “Labor ltefoiliters"
and Temperance men who have left their
party.
Of a similar character is a declaration
of C. C. Leigh, of New York, iu his
speech accepting the nomination for Sec-
rotary of State by the “Anti-Dram-Shop
('on vent ion.” Jti that speech he said:
“Ho had been one of the fathers of the
lb-publican party, but was obliged to con-
ft-’H that tho management of that party,
especially in his sc.-lion of the State, was
left loan great n sot of scalluwngs and
villiam* as ever cursed any party. Lead
ers of the Republican party there were
hnnght and sold by the Tammany party
the suiue ns beefsteako and chops in the
market. Tho only hope for the temper
ance cause was iu eeperate political ac
tion.”
With Butler and laugh as confessors,
the Radical party stands before the conn*
try branded with crime and corruption.
Their evidence was not needed to con
vince the country of tho fact, but as they
have turned “State’s witnesses" against
their associates, it is just that the prose
cution (the people) should have the bene
fit of their testimony.
Omrrtior Uullock.
The Salt Lake Tribune of the 1st inst.
announced the arrival of Gov. Bullock,
of Georgia, in its city, and said that lie
and his party were stopping at the Town-
Bend House. As the Governor's wife ac
companied him, it is not reasonable to
suppose that his stopping place is Utah,
hut lie was doubtless only tarrying there
a few days on his way to California.--
Wlmt official business he has there, has
not yet been disclosed; neither cun we
understand what right he, as tho Execu
tive of the Htato, has to prolong bis ab
sence from tho seat of government at a
time when important investigations of
Elute allairs under his administration arc
progressing, and when it is not publicly
known that ho has made any arrange
ment for devolving the powers and duties
of tho office, during his abseuco, upon
the ollicor constitutionally designated to
fill tho position during his incapacity.
Tho Tribune is not a Mormon paper,
but one of tho “trooly loil" sort, and it
seems very apprehensive that Brigham
Young will not treat Gov. Bullock with
the consideration due to his “unswerving
devotion to th** old flag." It says that
our wandering Governor “is one of those
sterling loyal men who passed through
tho recent rebellion with unt* mishit!
reputation," and that tho people of Geor
gia rewarded his constancy and zeal by
elevating him, Ac. If the editors of the
Tribune Lad seen him marching with a
musket on his shoulder to make war upon
tho United States even bet ore Georgia
hud seceded, its •enthusiasm about his
“unwavering devotion to the old flag"
would hardly be so intense, and it could
scarcely liumbng old Brigham into the
folly of making a “lion" of him iu Salt
Lake City.
Tin* "Gatlin buns" at New Orlraan.
We rather suspected the correctness of
our telegraphic reports about Grant's
readiness to have a fuir and full investi
gation of the oilicia! outrage at New Or
leans. and his willingness to punish his
party favorites if found guilty. The pri
vate statements of individual members of
the Warmuth committee show that the
President manifested a disposition to
prejudgo the case in favor of the officials
—especially to tho exculpation of his
brother-in-law, Casey—and that ho only
reluctantly made the promise to give the
matter further consideration. Members
of tho cummitteo are reported as having
said after the interview, that they were
very coolly received by the President;
that Mr. Grant remained standing during
the reading of the memorial and appeared
much excited, frequently interrupting the
reading, and at oue passago stamping bis
foot violently on tho floor and bringing
his elbow down on the keys of the piano,
which was behind him, with snch force as
to play a harsh accompaniment to the
reader. Some of the statements he flatly
contradicted—denying, for instance, that
Casey was responsible for the placing of
the troops in the Custom House, because
he was not thero at the time, and did not
have charge of that building. One of the
committee reminded him that the troops
were stationed outside of the Custom
House, and in a building of which Casey
hud charge: but the President still in
sisted that Casey was not to blatne; tho
delegation again asserting that he was.
The President 6aid that the address con
tained vory serious chsiges against the
Federal officers; also, that ha had never
authorized the employment of troops for
the purpose for which they war# used,
and that Gen. Reynolds, when he filled
the requisition of Marshal Packard, did
not know that they ware to be used at a
political convention. At tha conclusion
of the memorial, which was read by Gen.
Campbell, the Preeident said that he
should send n copy of it to the officials
charged, tunl hear their version of the
trouble, beforo taking any action in the
premises. The pilgrims were then civilly
bowed out, and the interview terminated.
The Cotton Prop of IS70.
We are indebted to tho proprietors of
The Commercial and Financial Chronicle,
New York, for au advanoe of their Annual
Cotton Crop Statement, published on tho
Uth iust. Their returns are to tho 1st of
September from all the ports, and are
therefore complete. They make tho total
receipts of the year which expired on tho
•list ult. 4,083,154 bales, at the various
ports, to which are added shipments from
Memphis, Ac., direct to Northorn manu
facturers 228,932 bales, and manufactured
iu the .South 91,240 bales—making a total
of 4,852,817 b iles.
The receipts at the ports of the several
States are given as follows: Louisiana
1,140,-tbt); Alabama 401,(.73; Texas 321,.
804; Floridu 18,5)18; Georgia 740,400;
South Carolina 850,582 ; North Carolina
1,820: ^ irgiuia 812,858; Tennessee, Ac.,
500,501. Of course these figures do not
represent the actual product of the States
named, but only the receipts at their
ports. The bales set down to Louisiunn,
\ irgiuia aud Tennessee, especially, are
greatly iu excess of their actual product.
Tho amount taken by spinners iu tho
Northern Elates is computed at 1,008,5
bales; and their stock on baud now is
returned at 80,750 bales iu excess of their
stock a year ago.
The total sea islaml crop of the United
States (included in the ahovo figures)
slatv-d ut 21,005* halos—being the shortest
crop of that description, except that of
$ -05*, for many years.

The Savannah Morning New*, ignoring
the real distracting issues of the canvass,
ascribes the defeat of the Democrats of
California to their sanction of the “new
departure"; and to show tho extent to
which they sanctioned it, the Ears
quotes from their platform as follows:
“Wo regard tho three several amend
ments to tho Constitution recently adopt
ed ns u settlement in fact of all tho issues
of tho war, and that tho sumo aro no
longer issues before tho country."
Now, tho lion. A. li. Stephens, notic
ing this identical declaration of the Cali
fornia Democratic platform, a few days
siuce, said “this is our position exactly. "
It is stated that u demand haH boen
mudo upon Frusidout Grunt for tho re
moval of Gov. Solomons, of Washington
Territory, tho charge against him being
complicity with tho Itocciver of Public
Moneys in that Territory in tho wrongful
u.to of GoVonimcut funds. It is charged
that tho Reccivor distributed large sums
among prominent Radical politicians in
tho Territory, and that Gov. S. came iu
for his share.
The New York Herald, which gives
particular attention to Butlor’s canvass
for Governor of Massachusetts, and re
ports all his speeches, thus states his po
sition and his hobbies : “General Butler
goes for Gen. Grant, but is dead against
Mr. Greeley; ho goes for the administra
tion at Washington, but is dead against
tho administration ut Boston; he goes
for tho Massachusetts Liquor law, but is
opposed to its euforeeimut: he cultivates
newspaper reporters, but is dead aguiust
newspaper editors; he is opposed to a
course of personal warfaro against him
self, but he delights in applying the tom
ahawk and scalping knife to his accusers.
Ho goos about like a roaring lion seeking
whom he may devour, but ho is himself
devoured, us lie confesses, at every stop
ping place, by the ‘bloodhounds let loose
upon his trail.’ He goes for labor reform
and women's rights, out uud out, and he
is going to run for Governor anyhow."
The extent to which women exercise the
right to vote in Wyoming may be inferred
from the fact, Rtated by telegraph, that
one-sixth of the votes in Laramie county
were r.st by females. Probably the men
of the county outnumber the women four
to oue : so it is a reasonable conclusion
that most of the womon exercised the
right of suffiage.
By the way, suppose it can be shown
that the Kudical success in electing a
majority of one house of tho Territorial
Legislature of Wyoming was obtained by
the votes of women, and the Democrats
should coutest the election before Con
gress on the question of their right to
vote. This would present the issue to
Congress in a shape in which the Radicals
would hardly like to meet it. And yet, as
Wyoming is a Territory, Congress ought
to |»ash upon the right of female suflrago
there.
Mr. J. K. Cardozo, the well known
statistician aud political economist, has
published his annual cotton circular, in
which he discusses with care and candor
the relative conditions of aupply and de
mand, and their probable relative condi
tions in the future. His general conclu
sion is, that the supply and oonaumption
aro now nearly at an equilibrium, and **»■!
the tendency under a moderate atate of
prices for the raw material and manufac
tured produets is that consumption will

Special to tho Cincinnati Commercial.
Milwaukee, Sept. 8.—The Hon. Hor-
nco Greeley took the train at Lufnyetto,
1ml., this morning at two o'clock, and ar
rived in Chicago iu time for breakfast.—
lie was received by tho Hon. John Wont-
worth and the Hon. John B. Grinnoll, ex-
Represeulativo from Iowa, and couveycd
to tho Trcmont House in a carriago. The
gentlemen gave Mr. Greeley uu elaborate
broakfast. Their welcome to Mr. Greeley
was vory cordial, and tho conversation
which these three distinguished Ameri
cans enjoyed was very interesting.
Tho gentlemen looked upon Mr. Gree
ley ns a probable candidate for the Presi
dency, mid congratulated him upon tho
likelihood of his nomination.
Mr. Wentworth said: “Grant 1ms not
the shadow of a chance for even tho nom
ination." Mr. WouGvorth adds that
throughout the West, aud particularly iu
Illinois, there is a quiet feeling of cou-
tempt for the nepotist that cannot bo
Both Sonntors, Trumbull ami Lognu,
are openly and avowedly Grant's enemies,
the hitter particularly so.
Gen. Logan says that his wholo influ
ence shall bo directed to preveut Gruut's
rcnouii nation.
Mr. Grinncll said ho could prouiiso tho
State of Iowa for Mr. Greuloy, if ho
would allow his name to go to tho Con
vention.
At this, Mr. Greeley smiled compla
cently, and said that 1m was “iu charge
of his friends." So far as 1m wah con
cerned, it was of no nccouut whether
Grant was nominated or not, but practi
cally he was opposed to tho nomination.
Mr. Groeley uddod, “If wo nominate
Graut, wo shall cerluinly bo dofoated.—
The public will stand no tnoro horso-jock
ey and pioseut-tuking Presidents,
have bad enough of thorn. 1 toll
gentlemen, wo must take a new depart
ure, and 1 can assure you that wo of tho
East aro dcti-rmiuod that it shall bo don*

but I want everybody now to understand
wlmt 1 think. When wo take hofd of
Grant it will not be with silk gloves
our hands. It has got to be done,
must throw Grant ovoiboard, or wo shall
bo defeated."
“But," said Mr. Grinucll, ns fhougli
asking for information, “what would yot:
have us do, Mr. Greuloy? Suppose wo
throw Grunt over, what nan we do? Yoii
know our people don't want to jump out
of tho Imug-pan into the tiro. Now, if
you will give us tho slightest hope that
you intond to put your owu nuiuo for-
ward, wo would willingly throw out
Grant."
At this, Mr. Greeley looked rather mys
teriously at Mr. Grinnoll. and said: ‘‘All
I want is to have a good man nominated,
who, if elected, will consent to give up
tho office ut tho ond of Ids term. Re
sides, 1 want to nominate a man wl

people here in the West that we aro going
to light against Grant to the extent of

Mr. Wentworth seemed delighted at
this expression of Mr. Greeloy s views,
uud promised that he would circuluto
them fur uud wide, wherever it
necessary.

Washington, Sept. 8.—Our Mexican
troubles are beginning to excite the most
serious apprehensions of tho Administra

Homicide in Baker COMaty.
We gather the following particulars
from a private loiter just received from
Baker couuty :
Ou Friday, 1st September, Mr. James
W. Ivey, a son of Mr. R. D. Ivey, one of
the most inllueutial citizens of that
county, was killed by a negro Inborer,
on the plantation of the latter, named
Sam Long. It seems that there were
some hogs missing, and suspicion rested
ou this negro, who owned hogs himself.
Deceased, thinking that the murk had
been altered, had beeu hunting the miss
ing hogs, aud the negro threatened to
shoot deceased if ho “did not quit both
ering himself about his hogs"; aflor which
deceased thought it prudent to carry a
pistol with which to defend himself in
case he wus uttneked by said negro. On
Friday, 1st Sept., deceased was out hunt
ing for the missiug swine, aud while out
wcut near the negro’s house, aud began
to call hogs ; whereupon said negro came
out and commanded deceased “to let his
hogs ulono," and deceased told him that
he would do nothing of tho kind until he
looked at his hogs und saw if his missing
ones w ore not among them, nnd told him
to go iuto his house, that he did uot want
any difficulty with him. Tho negro
startod iu, nnd his wife met and told him
tliut ho should not bnve his gun, but ho
rushed iu uud succeeded in getting a

before turning thorn out iu tho fall.
As soon ns tho gruss rises sullicicntly in
tho spring for tho cattlo to subsist upon
while travelling, tho process of guthuring
• hord begins. In every direction for
miles and miles tho country is scoured for
certain marks and brands, and by small
or large lots they are driven to tho place
for collecting the herd. Tho four year
olds and upwards are called beef. Some
times while collecting they gather the
most of tho herd ou the open prairie, aud
hands are employed day und night to
guard them, riding around nnd keeping
them together, guarding ofl' all animals
that might tend to give them a scare aud
causo a stampede. But occasionally, and
I may say very frequently, tho stampede
comes when least looked for—caused by a
cut or a dog, or any trifling thing that
frightens oue or two, that run ; then tlio
fright is communicated to others, tiulil
finally the wholo herd aro under a w ild
fright aud break away at headlong speed,
regardless of guards or anything olse. If
in a pen, the rails or pickets are cast aside
or brushed down by the weight of num
bers, and an opening forced. In the jam
and confusion horns are broken off, logs
broken, and numbers otherwise mutilated
or bruised. The herder can only then
urge his horse to full speed to keep up
with, and if possible get in advance of
them, after they have exhausted thorn-
Helves by running, and bring them to a
stand. Frequently the greater part of tho
herd are loat—in every instance more or
less of them are lost. Tho herders must
he with them night and day, taking regu
lar watches. These are some of tho perils
aud hardships of the cow boy's life. After
the herd are gathered and everything is
ready for moving, then by law thoy must
be driven to the nearest Court House,
where they moat furnish the Clerk of tho
District Court with what it called the bill
of aale and tally liatto be recorded, con
taining the name of the seller, if pur
chased, the number, age, kind, mark and
breed of each particular animal. Here,
too, the herd are subject to the inspection
of any pereon, and aometimea hundreds
are taken out by the owners thereof whore

What About Redeeming the Bonds.—
From tho Chicago Tribune, 7th.—It is
reported thul certain individuals holdiug
5-20 bonds of tho numbers and dates
called in by Secretary Boulwell for re
demption kuvo already presented them at
tho Treasury nnd usked for the gold, and
that they huvo been answered tliut the de
partment would not bo roudy to redoem
thorn until the expiration of niuoty days
from the duto of the notice. Tho ques
tion will naturally bo asked, what has be
came of tho $25,000,000 gold deposited
in the Treasury by Juy Cooke A Co. two
or throe weeks ago? Jt any such gold
wus deposited it inust be lying idle, draw
ing no interest, while the 5-20 bonds con
tinue to druw interest os before at tho
rule of six per cent, per aunuui. Why
should the Government not embrace tho
opportunity to pay them off immediately
with Jay Cooke's gold und stop the inter
est?
If this deposit of $25,000,000 is all n
myth, it is proper to inquire whether the
Government is paying intercut to Jny
Cooke *V Co. on a bogus check, and, if so,
why <4 like privilege is not accorded to all
American citizens who can raise a two
cent stamp und sign their numes to a
piece of paper ?
A Soda Lake.—A soda lake has beeu
discovered near Indopentlenco Rock, in
this Territory, the waters of which are
about to be utilized in the manufacture
of soda. T he lake is about a mile and a
half iu circumference, about a mile cast
of Independence Rock, close to Sweet
water river, urd six'y-five miles east of
Rawlings, on tho Union Pacific, with a
good natural road from ono to the other.
It is estimated that sixty thousand tons of
soda can bo manufactured atiuuully, at a
cost not exceeding two dollars per ton,
and tho freight to tho railroad, it is be
lieved, will be about twclvo dollars per
ton. Soda manufactured from tho waters
of this lake has been tested by two scien
tific men—a Mr. McDonald uud Dr. Wa
ters, of Carson City. Tho former gontIo
nian pronounces it to bo a sesquicarbon-
ate of soda. Dr. Waters detected a trace
of sulphuric acid, which increases its
value.—Ciugen n c Leader.

Fire in Dawhon, Ga.—We learn from a
private letter that tho total loss in goods,
with two buildings included, amount to
$85,500, with an aggregate insurance of
$14,500. There were thirteen buildings
destroyed, consisting of eight stores, one
warehouse, oue carriage establishment,
and throo other houses. There was very
littlo insurance on the houses consumed,
which will muke the loss sustained by real
estate owners, all of whom were citizens
of Dawson, very heuvy. The fire v(ui
first discovered about half past eleven
o'clock at night, and spreud with such
fearful rapidity through the wooden blook
of edifices as to make it impossible that
much should bo perservod from the flames.
Fortuuutely no new goods had been re
ceived by tlie sufferers, or their losses
would huvo been much greater. At the
commencement of the business season, as
it is, the want of houses in which to do
business, will operate materially against
the business and prosperity of the town.
It is believed that all of this destruction
of property has been visited upon that
people by an incendiary. If the proofs
are sufficient aud the guilty one can be
discovered, mercy should exercise little
influence as to tho verdict rendered
against him.—Evfaula News, Wth.
Court-House Burnt by Incendiaries.
From Mr. G. C. Rogers, who arrived
this morning per Air-Line Railroad from
Lawrenceviile, we learn that the Court
House at Lawrenoeville waa distroyed by
fire between twelve and one o’clock this
morning. The flames spread with great
rapidity, and tho Couuty Reoorda were
destroyed. Fifty dollars was offered to
any one who would save them.
Ono man ventnred in, bnt the flamee
were too intense, and he had to retreat
with only a few paper*.
It is said to be evidently the work of
incendiaries. One man under bond for
his appearance to answer a crimoal offense
was arrested with a box of matches and
revolver in his pocket. Several men on
horseback loft town soon after the fire
was discovered, shonting and firing off
pistols. It is supposed that they are the
guilty patties, and the one arrested was a
member of the gong.

It will be apparent from these order*
that Gen. Hancock had nothing whatever
to do with the trial. It is folly substan
tiated that, aftor the statement mode by
Payne, declaring the innocence of Mrs.
Surratt of any complicity iu the murder
of President Lincoln had been sent to

tioned conriom between the plane of exe

pated.
We inspected on Saturday morning a
narrow gauge passenger coach which waa
in transit for tuo Tuekegee Railroad. It
was a neat, cosy little affair, supplied
with all the laiout oonveniencies of mod-
oro railroad improvements. The seats
wore on each aide, after the manner of a
street omnibus, with arms between eaoh.
It Will seat 84 passengers, is 80 feet long,
6 feet 6^inches wide, 10 feet and 6 inehea
high, with raised roof, and weight only
14,000 pounds. The main sills are 27
inohhs above the rails of the track, whioh
ia 1R Inches loss than is customary on
broad gauge roadw. The wheels are 24
inches in diameter, and the whole con
structed to run with the greatest eaae.
The cost is about $2,500.
The baggage, mail and express oar is
built aftor precisely the same model as ia
now used on the broad gange. The oar
ia front tho celebrated works of Jackson,
Slrnrpo A Co., of Wilmington, Del., who
make tho narrow gauge rolling stock a

The grand and petit jurios were empan-
neled and'sworn. Arch Howell, Esq., of
Cobb county, was appointed foreman of
the grand jury, and 0. E. Grenville fore
man of the petit jury.
Judge Erskine made an elaborats and
sensible charge to the Grand Jury, calling
their attention to the laws of the United
States, and particularly to tha Internal
Revenue laws. On the Internal Revenue
laws he said, in substance:
I ask your attention to the Internal Rev
enue laws of the United States. I desire
to imprees upon yon to be vigilant in en
quiring into and deteotiug frauds upon the
Revenue. The frauds committed on rev
enue are enormous, and they are commit
ted with A daring impunity beyond the
eonoepiion of any one. The Government
most be protected against a violation ef
that which is necessary to its esistenoe, aa
also every honest man who is ready to
pay the just demands of the government
upon him.
Judge Erskine called attention to sev
eral of the eriipinal laws of the United
States, particularly to tho act of April 20,
1871, passed to enforce the 14tb Amend
ment, end generally known as the Ku-
Klnx Bill. He defined the word Ku-Klnx
ss a corruption of the Greek word Kuklos,
a e vole, a circle, or association. The term
in itself innooent, has been made to eover
sets of, murder, assssaination and lawless
ness. Indeed, the Judqe will pardon oe
for saying that be handled the Ku-Klox
with gloves off. He instructed the Grand

GENERAL HANCOCK NOT A MEMRF.R OF THE

CHARGED WITH THE DUTY OF
EXECUTING ITS MANDATES.
Corrtuponilencc of tlio New York Ilerntd.]
Washington, Sept. 8, 1871.
Comment is made in an editorial of the
Herald, of August 25th. on the objection
of sn Ohio paper to tne nomination of
Gon. Winfield Scott Hancock by the next
Democratic National Convention, because
“he waa a party to the military murder of
Widow Surratt." The Herald's editorial
says :
This is a startling Democratic objec
tion, and mean ns it may be, we sunpect
that, with its ventilation down South,
Gen. Hanco.ck will lose caste with the
fire-eaters as tbeir Presidential favorite.
Gen. Hancock, in connection with the
hanging of Mrs. Surratt, simply did hie
duty as a soldier uuder tho orders of his
superiors aud the laws of the army ; but
for all that, it is probable that the revival
of this awful affuir will operate to the
prejudice of the Goneral among the Dem
ocratic chivalry, South aud North."
Every good citizen, without regard to
party or creed, will indorse and applaud
the Herald for the sentiment that Han
cock “simply did bis dnty aa a soldier
under the orders of his superiors aud the
laws of the army.” It would seem to be
us irrolovant to the subject to refer back
to tho peculiar circumstances that in the
trying days of 1865 surrounded those
whoso names are now canvassed as possi
ble candidates for the Presidency in 1872,
as it might have been to refer back in
1868 to tho circumstances which surroun
ded Gen. Graut previous to his appear
ance at Spriugtield, 111., when summoned
from comparative obscurity to a position
of responsibility.
The institution of comparisons as be
tween the various candidates in tlie field
representing both political parties is not
the object of this letter; bnt so deter
mined seem to be those who misrepresent
history in the matter of Gen. Hancock's
olliciul relations with the trial and execu
tion of Mrs. Surratt, that your correspon
dent has taken tho trouble to furnish the
country, through tho columns of tho Her
ald, with all the official facts bearing upon
the subject. These will ut least prove
that Gon. Hancock was not a member of
the military commission, and that he was
not unsigned to duty to attend upon the
comuiibfcion or to execute its mandates.
Gen. Hancock at the time waa the com
manding officer of a military department
of great extent, including Pennsylvania
and other States, as well as the District
of Columbia. His headquarters were at
Washington ; and as snch commanding
officer he was served with a writ of habeas
oorpun granted by Judge Wylie. He ap
peared before the Court, bnt bis superior
officer, the President, bad atupondoa the
writ of habeas corpus, and thereupon the
Judge decided that the Court possessed no
further power in the premises.
This was all the official relation Gen.
Hancock had with the arrest, trial or
execution of Mrs. Surratt. Now let the
official record speak:
