The Atlautii Constitution of Sunday publishes the procuedmgu of the first day in the trial of C. 1*. McCalia, late General Bookkeeper of the State Road, on eharpea of embezzlement of the public funds and falsi tication of the books of hie office. The specifications are that he received sums of money from quite a number of railroads indebted to the State Road, for which sums ho failed to give them credit ou his books. The only witness exam ined on Saturday was B. F. Moore, late a book-keeper of the road. Ho testified to tho receipt of the money by McCnllu in several of tho eases charged, aud to his neglect to give credit ou the books. Counsel for defence said that they would admit getting tho money, but would show where it weut to. Col. Farrow, conducting the prosecution, said that tho roods named in the bill of indictment owed tho (Statu Ko;ul about $15,(MX), which he expected to prove was received and not accounted lor by defendant. Witness said that he knew nothing about the use made of the money by defendant —Know only what appeared from tho books and papers. it was said that Col. Bleckley and Gen. Tocuubs would bo mided to counsel for defence, aud Gen. Gurlreli and Collier »V Myratt tor the prosecution. The case was continued until to-day i,Tuesday.) Tin* Columbus .suu says that tho Mont- b gouiury J«/i « rtis, r endorses that resolu tion of the IVmiNylvunia Gemocratie plat form which declares that the late Constitu- ti'-nul Amotultncnta were adopted “in the niauner and by the authority constitution- ally Appointed aud it asks ns for “u platu answer" to the question whether we agree with the AdctrlUer in endorsing this declaration. In our reply to tho Sun, last week, wc quoted from an editorial of ouis, written early iu July last, iu which we recited this assertion of the l’ennsylvunia plat form, and declared that the Democrat io parly could not make it “without stultifi cation." The Sun aays that this language is “nou-oouiuiittai." if the editor of the Sun eanuot comprehend this expression, wo despair of our ability to pouetratc to ^u> seat of his understanding, unless wo can obtain the use of one of tiie diamond- pointed drills with which they bored the Mount Coins Tunnel.

Tho New York Herald regards tho Workiugmen's demonstration iu New York city, on tho lfith iust., aa a move ment sympathetic with the “Internation ale - agitation in Europe. It says that there were twenty-five thousand working men iu procession, ostensibly demon strating in favor of tho eight hour law, Lut that only a few of theso men would be personally affected by such a law. It Bays: Americans and Irishmen predominated probably; but there was an enthusiastic company of Frenchmen carrying a banner with the inscription, “Comite Intimation- ale," who shouted “ Vice Ui Hepubligue," aud two or three solid and solemn compa nies of Gormans who, side by side with the Stars and Stripes, carried the red. while and black of uuited Fatherland ; and in the midst of all was a company of colored men with four of their best look ing dignitaries riding in a carriage, it is difficult, indeed, to see why the enforce ment ot the Eight Hour law, which has certainly not been painfully or unusually agitated of Into, should have called forth so imtnoiiHO and enthusiastic and, we must say withal, orderly aud intelligent an assemblage. Probably there were not one hundred government employees, for whose benefit alone tho Eight Hour law has been established, iu the procession, nor one nmn iu tho crowd who would be willing to w ork only eight hours a day if lie were paid by the piece, or who does not comprehend that eight hours work means eight hours pay. The present agitation auout a matter of such little in terest as the Eight Hour law could alone have called forth such an army of earnest, orderly, well dressed aud intelligent work- iugmeu as paraded tin streets of New York yesterday. Tho demonstration was rather meant as a fatomization of tho labor ing classes of this city with the great In ternationale of Europe, that closely weld ed aud decp-pervmliug society that has just begun to make itself felt m the king ly capitals and imperial cities of the (Con tinent. end boldly asserts itself in the streets of London under the very eyes of the Quctn, ami shouts its hurrahs in Phromx Furl: within hearing of the Eng lish Prince. As such a demonstration it was complete. We regret to find in the Southern Standard, of Arkadelphia, Ark., an an nouncement of the death of one ot our old friends, Capt. Eugene W. Elliott.— Capt. Elliott was a nativo of Russell county, Ala., and a son of the late Georgo W. Elliott. lie removed to Arkansas when quite a young man, and died in New Orleans on the 30tb nit., aged about forty-five years. He and his father will he remembered by many of the people of Russell county. The Romo ('omutirrial, of the loth inst., says : “We hoar from good author ity that Gen. 1*. M. B.

It is now regarded as a matter of certainty that there will be a “pinch in Ootoher and November."

Tho last Palatka Herald has a letter from Orange county, Florida, containing a thrilling narrative of the sinking of u good portion of Orange county and the tonuatiou of a lake whore it once stood. After relating the experience of one man, he goes to another, whose account is as follows: More and more wonderful. Mr. Alex. K.

The Augusta papers of Tuesday contain accounts of a duel fought ou Sunduy last, at GritnilcviHe, S. C., between two citizens of Augusta- -Capt. Win. D'Auliguuo and Mr. John Dell. A trivial quarrel had occurred between them, during which (’apt. D'Autigunc struck Mr. Dell. Mr. Dell challenged him, but both parties worn nr rented before they could leavo tho city, ami put under bonds of $1,000 each to keep tho peace. It was supposed that this had stopped further proceedings to wards tlic duel. But Mr. Dell renewed tho challenge, and they repaired with their friends to Graniteville, where the duel was fought ' eurly Sunday morning. They fought with nuvv revolvers. At the first shot ('apt. D’Antignac's clothes were perforated. At the second shot Mr. Dell received a severe flesh wound iu both legs below the knee, and this ended the conflict. Both parties returned to Augusta.

Ho says that within tliu past ten days a prominent lawyer of Georgia proposed to him to buy this property, offering in payment a certified claim against a certain ruilroad iu Georgia for legal fees amounting to an hundivd thousand dollars, stating that all he had to do was to present the claim and get tho money. Wigfall refused to give tho name of the lawyer, as he had been requested to treat tho matter confiden tially.

The prospects of our market at present are associated iu a very close degree with tho prog cess of tho American crop uml the opinions eutertainod regarding its condition. Tho late unfavorable rumors have revived tho auxiety of tho trudo, aud they look with uneasiness upon our fust- diiuiniHhiug stock, and are extremely sensitive to a 11^ nows reaching us from America. There is no doubt that public opiuion has lately veered rouud a little upou the subject of tho growing crop.— During July and most of August, no weather accounts reached us, except such as were highly favorable, and tbo idea be came prevalent on both sides of the At lantic that the great damage undoubtedly done iu May und Juno was almost re paired, and that tho crop was really flour ishing. Tho largo decrease iti the nroa planted, of which wo heard so much in June, retreated in the background; esti mates of tho probable or possible yield kept steadily advancing, till three and a half to three and three-quarter millions becaino perhaps the favorite figure. Of late thero havo been ho vend loss fu- vorablo accounts. Tho worm has made its appcarauco in some of tho cotton States, uud travelers recently returned re port that tho plant is small und backward, md that tho yiold cannot, possibly equal or near equal the ucrouble product of lust your. They further report tho reduced ueu is fully us largo us was stated early iu the season, and load us to beliovo that n very heavy reduction on last yeuv’s crop is a certainty—probably a million of bales, i>r about 23 per cent. Thero are others ugidu who stoutly resist this view, nnd hold that tho crop is doing very well upou tho wlufio, nnd speak of oven t.tKi0,0(H) as possible, if tho tho picking kcuhou is ns lino as last year, and 3;J millions as quite probable. Wo are sorry to say tlial our judgment upon the wlufio does not incline to tho more favorable view. The various in formation put before us point in the di rection of a short crop. Wc urn con vinced that Uioro is u very considerable dcoreuHo in aioa under cotton, and do not lliiuk Iho condition of the plant is nearly ns good as it was this time last your. Our view is that it will need a very good sou- sou liouceforth to give a crop of tlnco nnd a hull millions; uml should there bo a bad picking season, or sorious damage from worms, tho position would bo u very critical one. Wc do not think that much harm ns yet 1ms btcu done from worms, uor do wo think that tho condition has al tered materially for tho worse during the past fortnight; but wo mo not of tho opinion thut thoro over was reason to take a very favorable view of the crop, and wo four that tho effect of the good weather was somewhat exaggerated. Mouuwhilo our consumption goes on unchecked, uud it runs so heavily and persistently upou American llmt it is a matter of cortainty we will bo pinched during October und November. Indeed, it is iiujjOHsiblo thut tho trade cau long continue their present consumption ot ubout 30,000 bales weekly of thut descrip tion; for if tho total deliveries, including export, from now to tho end of tho your nro kept down to 30,000 bules per week, there cannot bo 100,000 Indus iu stock during Novomhor. This raises tho ques tion of stocks hold by tho trade, wfiich was so much dismissed sumo time ago, and w o aro minified to lay boforo our read ers a statement on thut subject that may prove interesting. About tho middle of August wo had inquiries made at all the importuut munuluoturing towns, uud re turns obtained of tho quuutilics of cotton hold at tho curriers’ depots, uud w o loiin 1 thut tho total wus 108,(UK) halos, of which 43.000 bales wore hold in Manchester. If to this bo added about 20,000 bales, us a rough estimato of tho many small points whore thoro uro a few scattered mills troiu which we could not obtain returns, wo may estimato with tolorublo exactness that the total amount held by tho trade, exclu sive of what is at their mills, is about 130.000 bules, or u little over two weeks’ consumption. >Vo look upon this as the surplus stock, allowing what is kept at the mills as u fair working slock, uud the quantity is cortuiuly less than was gcuor- uily imagiuod, aud proves that tho con sumption has been extremely large. At one time w e thought 38,000 bules a wcok a l ull ostimuto, but wo think it must huvo rather exceeded that figure, uud us yet there is no sigu of abatement, but rather the opposite, us new machinery is being fust put up. It is evident, therefore, that consump- tion has overtaken supply this year iu a way thut seems scarcely credible, uud, notwithstanding that Europe will receive u surplus of uioro thuu a million of bales over 1870, thoro will apparently bo hardly any surplus stock visible iu Eugluud, uud not much on tho continent, at* tho end of tho your. The argument, therefore, jumps to tho lips of every one, how can tho con sumption be supplied next your if tho American crop is three-quarters of n mil- lion bales less? And it is difficult to answer it, except by grouting that con sumption must be somewhut restricted by high prices. At the same time it must be borne in mind that the continent will not have the sume absorbing power next year. An immense vacuum hud to be tilled up this year. All the stocks, both at tho mills uud commercial depots, were run out ut the beginning of the yeur, and these have been most amply replenished, so that only uctual consumption must be fed next year. Our own spinners and those in America are ulso unusually well stocked, aud some portiou of those stocks will no doubt be carried into next yeur, and if American cotton is to rule at Ufa l()d. per pound, in place of 7(<e8d., there will bo various littlo economies practiced, which cun scarcely bo specified iu detuil, but which tell in the aggregate. Altogether we aro inclined to believe thut a crop of threo uud a half million bules will curry us through next soasun without. Revere scarcity, though at a pretty high level of prioe; should the crop, uufortuuately, fall below that, there will be considerable An noyance to the trade, aud probubly for some time dangerously high prices; and it is much to ho hoped in the interests of sound trade that there will be a favorable picking season and no additional cause of uneasiness. From India thero is nothing notewor thy. The planting on the Bombay side is believed to be rather shorter than last year, and tho stock iu Bombay is almost cleared out, so that very little ouu he shipped from there for some mouths. Tho stock of old cotton remaining up country is also thought to he less than lust your. We have confidence, however, that high prices will always draw out of India more than cau he accounted for on any theory of crop, and therefore we would bo far from saying that India will not give us more next year if prices rule high. From Caloutta and Madras a good deal more cotton is shipping thau last year, and the relative increase from that side of Iudia will probably bo sustained. From Egypt the accounts of tho grow, ing crop are very favorublo, and auother bumper one is expected. • This has emitted much depression in Egyptian cotton, und prevented that improvement iu the autumn wbioh was generally looked for; indeed, all this year Egyptian cotton has ruled below American of corresponding a , and at present fair Egyptian ia aa mack as Jd below middling Or leans—an almost unprecedented occur rence : the normal relation of value used to be |d to Id over it. The extreme cheapness of Egyptian cotton, ooabiued with an extraordinanr demand for floe yarns, has given to Bol ton spinners an unusual advantage, and they nave bad all this year the creem of the trade of Lanoeehire. We should not, however build too .oonAdontly upon «a- other immense crop iu Egypt. It has happened before that a very nue promise in I tic autumn bos been suddenly blighted before maturity, aud two very large crops seldom follow each other in that country. Should any such casualty befall this crop, tho ’-iso in long staple cotton would be heavy, for tho trade onn well afford to P»y R- Surat cotton keeps relatively cheap, and if'will likely do so for o good while yet; fin* spinners will only resort to it slowly and reluctantly os they are driven off American from its dearness. It is proba ble thut most spinners will pay an extra price for American for two or three months, rather than impair the present high quality of their yarn or risk trouble with their operatives. Later in tho year v.o may expect some revival of.export demand, and this will help to carry off’ tho liberal supply of blast India cottou wo ill have on the market tho noxt two or nue months.

Sept. 13, 1871.—A case involving the rights of ambassadors under international law will shortly bo presented to the State Department. Tlie decision of tho United Status will bo probably called for to confirm established prece dents on the laws of contracts between a citizen of the United States uud a foreign Power. Mr. Sidney Oaksmith, ou the 3th day of August, 1805), contracted with the ilaytieu government, then under the Presidency of Sylvaiti Sal nave, for tho salo and delivery of an iron-clad culled tho Atlanta. The sum to be puid was $130,- (100 in gold or eufi'eo ; $30,(100 in gold lo be paid oil tho complete equipment uud armament of the vessel, nud tno balauco lo be paid within a curtain specified time, either iu coffee or gold, uccordiug to the option of tho Haytieu government; und $40,401 38 was paid ou accouut of the contract, nnd the vessel was, ut the re quest aud demand of Mr. Tate, the then .Minister Plenipotentiary ut Washington of the Huy tion government, formally de livered to the Uuytieu government on the 3d of December, 1803, ut Philadelphia, he (Mr. Tate) signing tho necessary receipt therefor, uud iu which he wus joined by Admirul Elms, tho Admiral commanding tho snid ram Atlanta. The Atlanta sailed from tho port of Philadelphia on the 10th day of December, 18Cfi, with her officers uud crew, and under the Haytien flag, to carry out tho strife then pending with Sulnave and Hugot. The Atlanlu from the day of her departure from our shores has never been hoard of, Sulnave has ful- lun and Nossago Suget, now President of the liuylieu republic, is culled ou to pay this littlo bill, amounting to $10l),3U3 42. The law of nations doolaros the liability of tho preseut government of Iluyti to pay the amount. From the date of the restoration und during the numerous rev olutions iu Fruuco thut have uprooted so many forms of government, the contracts made by all prior governments have been recoguizcd and fuithfully performed.— Under these precedents au effort will be uiado to enforce tho payment of the amount ooutructed for.—Corr. iV.

As many more have been stolon and crossed over since Juno 1, from other points of Texas soil. The Heutinel says more armed bands have lately come into Texas from Mexico for the purpose of stealing cattle, und urges the people to organize to put the marauders down. Gen. Reynolds has officially recommen ded that Unitf^d States troops be employ ed to aid tho Texuns in recovering their property stolen by the Kioknpoos aud tak en iuto Mexico.—N. 0. Picayune.

Coi'liuas lias threatened him with retalia tion ; hut Thompson does his duty, not withstanding, giving a good lesson to the other rnneheros. There is a project on foot of raising a body of armed volunteers to sustain Thompson. Gen. McCook, U. K.

Tho Sentinel, of tho 8th inst., says the cattle thieves continue vigorously to pur sue their trade along the Rio Grande, above Brownsville. They have stripped many ranches of all their cattle. There is no mounted U. 8. force on the Texas side of the river to interfere with them ; nnd . ia Mexican authorities furnish every facility to sell their plunder, openly, in the Mexican markets.

Indian Railways.—The recent official report of tho government director of the Iudian railway companies, gives some in teresting statistics concerning the growth and extent of that branch of enterprise in the far East. There are now in India 5,050 miles of railway, 350 of which were completed last your and 211 since the beginning of 1871. Commencing at Negapatam, the southern terminus of wbat is called the Madras system, the line runs via Bombay, Jub- bulpore, Allahabad and Lahore, to Mool- tun on the Indus, a distance of not leaa than 2,800 miles. Thus tha three presi dency towns, and the oapitali of the northwest provinces and tha Pnnjsnh, are now united by iron links, and in event of war can be reached easily and speedily from the great military oantres. Tha commercial advantages are too pelpable to need notioe. All thie has been done at a cost of about $440,000,000 eatimsting tha entire expenditures np lo the let or last April.

At 10 o'clock yeHtorday rooming, A. L. Harris, late Master of Transportation ot tho Western & Atlantic Railroad, was ar raigned before Justice Butt on u charge, preferred by G. W. Lee, of being a com mon cheat and swindler. Col. Leo swears that be and Harris and La Foutuiue were interested in a patent for a railroad switch, and that Harris pro posed to buy ont Lee's interest for $1,000, and did buy said interest, giving him (Lee) $500 iu money and a lathe and some iron in payment of the reaidue,' and that the two latter artielea wero the property of the Btate of Georgia. In the afternoon Mr. Antebins testified that ho was at that time au employee of the State Road, and that ha waa ordered by Harris to let Ijee have enough iron to put dowu a switch, aud did so. Did not know what tho iron waa worth. He nev er heard Harris and Lee consulting about the switch. Tho iron was worked np in the State Road shop, and the switch was put dowu in the yard of the engino house. Did not kuow of any trudo between these gentlemen iu regard lo tho switch. Mr. Le Fontaine was one of the inter ested parties in the patent, and sold his interest lo Harris for $250 in cash and took his note for the balance. The note remains uucaneellcd. Did not hear Har ris suy ho had bought Lee’s interest. He had seen three of the switches down, ono ut Cnrtersville, one at the Fair Grounds aud one in the Btate Road shop. Ho heard Lee aud Harris talking about itsjm- periority over other switches, 'Ac. He hud tried to soil his interest to Varuey G us kill before he sold to Harris. The ituess lives at Cartersville and heard that some ono had come up and claimed tho lathe as tho property of the Btate.— Ho thought the luthe was worth about ^ 150. He did not kuow at the time that Harris had sold tho switch to the Btate Road. Foster Blodgett testified that bo saw tho model of the switch, and remarked to Harris and others ut the tirno thut it was of uu account, but as it was a Houthoru invention, by Southern men, he felt it his duty to encourage it in every legitimate way, uud ordered two or three to ho put down os u tost of its merits, und furnished the iron for the purpose. After seeing it tried he bought tlio right from Harris tor the State Road, giving him $20 per mile for the entire length of tho road, whieh is 138 miles, and the amount was $2,7CO. This was ubout the last of October, 1870, The contract is in writing aud in the pos session of witness. The one in the shop had been iu use threo or four months bo- fore he made the purchase. Harris was paid in December, 1870. Tho Treasnrer hook will show the exact date. There wus no understanding beforehand that he would purchase it. Does not recollect whether the trade was made before the act leasing the road was passed or not. He never granted permission to any one to use the luthe. He gave orders to put down the switch on the Btate Road, but on no other. Col. Glean, of Cartersville, is a claiui- uttorney for this road. When he took out possessory warraut for the lathe, Har ris and Lee both appeared anxious that he should hold it for the Btate. He knew nothing of the trade between Harris and Lee ubout the switch or lathe. Telegraphic dispatches were presented to prove that the irou shipped to Leo, at Cartersville, to put dowu a switch, was done by Harris’ order. W. G. Newman testified that the bill of lading of tho iron went forward as per order. Ho did not know what the iron wus intended for, nor whether it was ever paid for or not. Don’t recollect furnishing any moro iron for that pur pose. .John II. Flynn says that in 1868, by or der of Campbell Wallace, he sent to Mo- Kethen, at Cartersville, an old lathe, with the understanding that he was to purchase it, if ho wanted it, at $250. Does not know what became of it. Thinks there are other switches mnoh bottor than the one Lee put down. As it now Manila it is of no use to the road. Thinks one could be put down at a cost of $50. This closed the testimony, aud the mag istrate, in summing it up, remarked that not only had the prosecution failed to es tablish the oharges, but singularly failed to prove even an attempt at swindling and cheating, aud therefore released the pris oner unconditionally.—Atlanta Sun,\dth. United Btatks Law in North Caro lina.—The late Uw of Congress to en force the fourteenth and fifteenth amend ments is to be applied on a large soals in North Carolina. Forty “Kn Kluxee" have been hauled in from different parts of Rutherford county to Raleigh, and their triuls are bv this time in progress. The law, as wo have formerly printed ont, is harsh and unjustly discriminating in some portions. Its weakness or its strength will now be fully developed. Among the alleged offenders are some persons of very good standing in North Carolina, and they have distinguished counsel at their elbows. The truth will doubtless come out, under the investigation, more fully than it was elicited by the Congressional committee. A thonssnd witnesses are in attendance. The oath taken by the grand jury who presented the iudictmenta is the one provided in the act above referred to, and shuts ont from that body all possible sympathisers with the Ku-Klux band; and Judge Bond's charge had a partisan point to it. The object of the law and of the government officers in North Carolina is to force convictions, if it can be done.— The resnlt will be awaited with great an- xioty both South and North, as it will probably have a bearing on the elections.
