Supreme Court.
When our press telegrams from Washington
announced that the “Supreme Court had denied
a writ of error in the Twitchell case,” we took
it for granted that it must be the Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania; but we find, as a last chance
.to save the desperate man, an appeal had been
made to the United States Supreme Court
against the constitutionality of a Pennsylvania
statute in relation to indictments for murder,
charging it to be in conflict with the fifth
amendment of the Constitution of the United
States. The court refused the writ of error on
the ground that the fifth and sixth amendments
to the Constitution were not restrictions upon
State Governments but only upon the Govern
ment of the United States.
Since this decision Twitchell has made a “t
fession" charging tho actual deed of murder up-
en his wife; but nobody credits it. The wife
was acquitted for want of evidence; but the
murder of Mrs. Hill was evidently a joint en
terprise.
The Work on the Macon nu«l Bruns
wick Railroad.
We promised, says the Brunswick Banner of
the 2d instant, in a subsequent issue to speak
of the immense work that had been accomplished
on this end of the road. We had bat little oppor
tunity during oar late trip to the 80 mile station
to notice particularly the heavy work along the
road; wo however observed that swamp after
swamp had been encountered. When we reached
the present terminus, Major Orme conducted
us (on foot) a distance of more than a quarter
of a mile on a railway made by. heaps of large
logs which had been rolled for some distance
through water and mud neatly waist deep.
Of one fact we were fully convinced, that
while it is hard work to build a road through
rocks and mountains, it is no small job to build
a road through swamps of such depth and width
as those through which the Macon and Bruns
wick railroad runs. Major Onno and his co
laborers deserve a great deal of praise for the
work so well done, under such unfavorable cir
cumstance*. It will be remembered that Major
Orme has had but a small force to operate with,
and when we take into consideration the labor
performed, we cannot utter a word of complaint,
neither can any one else reasonably do so. If
a largo force had been on this end of the road
it would doubtless Save reached the A. A G. K.
It., before this day.
An llnplcawnut Dilrmum In Rhode
Island
Rhode Island, says the New York World, is
now set down among the doubtful States on tho
adoption of the proposed fifteenth patch. The
Legislature has postponed its consideration till
the May session, when a new Legislature will
. sit. It is discovered that tho fifteenth patch,by
abolishing property qualifications, will enfran
chise some ten thousand persons in that State
who aro now debarred from voting simply be-
canso they aro poor and white, and these ten
thousand would be pretty sure to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket, thus turning over the State, which
is now Republican, by eight thousand majority.
The Rhode Island Radicals would like to per
mit negroes to vote, but they are bound to ex
clude from tho suffrage as many white Demo
crats as they can.
Cotton.—The York Circular of Saturday last,
says tho Columbus Enquirer, gives tho receipts
of tho week at all the ports 33,220 bales, against
32,750 tho previous week, showing an increase
of 470 bales. The receipts of tho corresponding
week of last year were 36,000 bales. Tho ex
ports of the week from all United States ports
to Great Britain were 43,955 ; to the Continent
14,890 against 30,015 to Great Britain and 9270
to tho Continent last week. The stock on hand
and on shipboord not yet cleared at all United
States ports is 360,805 against 390,000 last
week, showing a decrease in stock at United
States ports of 37,165.
Tho receipts of the week ending April 8, 1868,
were 49,000 bales. To reach that figure the re
ceipts of this week must be larger than any
week’s receipts since February.
Groan u. Rxooxstkuctxos not a Favorite
Tome.—Butler, according to the telegram, made
another attempt to take up the ease of Georgia
in tho House on Tuesday, but the opposition to
it was almost unanimous. This is encouraging.
Gentlemen of the House, wo hope your indis
position to take up the com of Georgia will be
permanent, or, at the least survive daring the re
mainder of tho session.
The Alabama Gold Life
Company.
We print upon the first page a circular of
this company issued on the 1st instant, and dia-
closing its operations for the first four months
of its existence. It will be observed that iu
premiums received during this infantile period
of the company have amounted to about sixty
thousand dollars in gold, although the company
can scarcely be said to have begun its opera
tions fit earnest, outside the city of Mobile.
While in that city, attending the sessions of
the Southern Press Association a few weeks
ago, our attention was directed to this new en
terprise, and we were well impressed with the
sound practical philosophy of the scheme, which
was elaborated by the leading merchants and
business men of Mobile who own and control it
The financinl future of tH« country is one of
tho most uncertain things in the world. Wheth
er- this stupendous fabric of national credit
which has been erected by the government an A
which has become, in time, the foundation of
almost all other individual and corporate cred
its, shall survive even the shocks of peace and
ultimately harmonize its vast proportions with
the monetary and finam-ial systems of the out
side world is itself a problem, which must bring
many an anxious thought to lb# capitalist and
the man in control of large funded trust
properties.
But should it outlive the chapter of material
and politicafoccidenta of peace, bow will it sus
tain the fierce shocks of war? When the public
credit is strained to its utmost tension but little
more will snap the cord. It ia the last straw
which breaks the camel’s back; and when the
foundation credits give way the whole fabric
totters and falls. In such a catastrophe the en
tire range of stocks and securities, which now
constitute the chief representatives of value in
the United States, would either be destroyed or
temporarily disabled.
On such views as these the Alabama Gold
Life Insurance Company is founded, upon the
plan of dealing in nothing but gold. Its capi
tal stock was paid in in gold, and its premiums
are collected and losses paid in gold. It is meet
ing with extraordinary success, and we do not
doubt that, in the course of a year, it will take a
leading position, not only in the South, but in all
sections of the Union, and in all the great cities
of the North and West-; for it is the intention
of the directory to push the operations of this
company in all the American centres of capital.
They believe it is a scheme which will oommend
itself to the good sense and confidence of the
country.
The general agents of this company for the
State of Georgia are Messrs. Wanrnto and
Born, of Newnan, who, we presume, win secure
a proper representation of its claims in all im
portant points in the State.
Civil
to
Miixedgevilix Muxicifai, Election.-—The
Becorder says that in the city election, on Fri
day last, L. H. Briscoe, Esq., was elected May
or—no opposition. For Clerk, Peter Fair;
Marshal, John B. Fair; Aldermen, Jos. Stanley,
Dr. S. G. White, Ezekiel Trice, William A
Williams, P. T. Taylor and Dr. W. H. HalL
Axdt Johnson was to speak in Nashville to
day. He must be careful or they will send
Brownlcv’s negro melish after him, and if he
takes to tho swamp, we shall have another Moses
in the bulrushes.
Much Whisky Btbnt.—Tho Frankfort, Ken
tucky, Yeoman chronicles tho destruction of
Gaines, Berry Jb Ca’s Bonded Warehouse with
3500 barrels of whisky.
Ritoit. distinguished Tennesseeans, at the
Brown House yesterday, expressed full confi
dence that Andy Johnson would be the next
Governor of that State.
Esbob Cobeected.—Reporting soles by the
United States Marshal, yesterday, our local
column stated that the “Coalson Place, near
Hawkinsville," was sold. He was mistaken.
It was some other place—not Mr. Coalson’s.
Pobtcoai. is so hard up that as a measure of
economy the King has resorted*o the expedient
of reducing the number of deputies in the Na
tional Assembly, at the hazard, it is said, of a
popular outbreak. The Portugese must care
more for their legislatures than we do here.
Yesterday must have been a tolerably good
day for dry times in the way of trade. One Ma
con house reported sales ten thousand dollars.
The most ancient newspaper correspondent
is Pro Bono Publico. He has been writing a
long time. Civis is another old fellow.
Aftaibs in Europe.—An intelligent corres
pondent has furnished us an interesting resume
of affairs in Europe, which will be found on our
first page.
One negro Magistrate and two Constables
were elected in Savannah last Saturday.
Delegation from Georgia
Washington.
The telegrams before, and the Augusta papers
afterward, have announced a very sudden move
ment in Augusta to raise and send to Washing
ton a delegation from Augusta, Atlanta, Macon
and Columbus, to appear before the Reconstruc
tion Committee in the way of protest against
tho Butler bill; and the Chronicle and Sentinel
■ays that five gentlemen were to Icavo that city
at three o'clock Tuesday morning on that errand
in behalf of Augpsta. They were Mayor Rus
sel], Messrs. J. & Hook, Henry W. Hilliard, W.
T. Gould and Goo. T. Barnes. We have heard
nothing about this movement in Macon or the
other cities. Indeed, it strikes ns, if any good
could have been accomplished by it under other
circumstances, it is now quite too late. A joint
resolution has passed both bouses of Congress
to adjourn next Saturday, and even if Congress
should hold over beyond that time, everything
is in tho hurry and confusion of an expiring
session, aggravated by the excitements peculiar
to this crisis in the administration. It strikes
us tbs delegation could hardly get a hearing;
and by the telegrams of yesterday, there seems
to be a growing indisposition in Congress to
tako up tho os ass of the “unreconstructed
States,” this session. Wo hope they will be
given the go-by.
Chinese Immigration.
A correspondent of a New York journal pre
dicts that there will soon be an immense rush
of emigration from China to this country. The
interest which the, subject has awakened among
tho Chinese is shown by an article in the Shang-
hae Daily News, which sets forth elaborately
and in a most attractive manner the advantages
of a residence in California. Among other re
commendations it is mentioned “that those who
believe in ‘Buddha’ will be permitted to erect
temples without let or hindrance." The pros
pect of having suffrage under the fifteenth
amendment is not announced, the news of the
passage of the resolution submitting that ques
tion to the States not having then reached
China, nor, if it had, is it likely that it would
have been much of an inducement to a practi
cal, working people like the Chinese, who, like
most people who find it hard to obtain the bare
moans of subsistence, do not over-estimate the
importance of political privileges. At the same
time, when this power is placed in their hands,
they will be very likely to employ it in the first
placo for purposes of self-protection, and, hav
ing tested its efficacy in that respect, the poli
ticians vfill soon put them in the way of using
it for other purposes. If the emigration from
the East to the United States shall prove
great as is anticipated, or even very consider
able, it will be curious, at least, to note its
effect in case the fifteenth amendment is
adopted.
A Negro Standing Army in the .Sbnth
We aro Sony to learn from the Charleston
News that Gov. Soott, of South Carolina, is
raising a standing army of negroes in that State,
in the pretended cause of civil order. The News
says:
We learn that on Monday last orders were re
ceived at Abbeville Court-house for the imme
diate formation of-a company of negro State
troops. The news that sixteen dollars a month,
army rations, and perhaps a uniform, cdnld be
had for the .asking, spread like wildfire, and
within twenty-four hours -about fifty negroes
were enrolled. Many of them had been work
ing steadily in the field, but abandoned their
employers without leave or warning. No public
notice of this new prank was taken by the white
people of the district; but Hntson LomaT,- a
colored member of the Legislature, and an
other prominent Radical, sent to Columbia an
urgent request that the order for the enlistment
of the negroes should be revoked, or at least
suspended. This was, we believe, the condition
of affairs in Abbeville three days ago.
Abbeville, at the time that the enlistment of
negro soldiers began, was in a condition of pro
found peace. The laws, uncouth and anoma
lous as they are, were being regularly executed.
No colored' man was treated harshly or severely.
Every white man was laboring steadily, to im
prove his position, and to forget, if possible, for
a little while, that the ancient commonwealth of
South Carolina was ruled by the emancipated
slave, the vicious renegade and the beggarly
stranger. There was no shadow of turmoil or
wrong in the whole district.
There is no community in the United States
which would not be utterly disorganized and in
censed to fury by the attempt to dragoon the
whites with an armed negro militia. If Soott
wants to breed a civil war in South Carolina in
a ™nnth, let him persist in this thing.
Ex&lish Mantfactcbing Districts. Great
distress exists in the English manufacturing
districts, and the scarcity of employments is in-
creasing.
Limn 1 Frosts, as we notice, have singed the
gardens vegetables a little within the lost few
days, but in general they are not materially
hurt.
BY TELEGRAPH,
President Grant’s Pint Message.
April 7.—The following message of
the President wae received by Congreee at Lo'dock
this afternoon: *—
o the Smalt and Ho tut of Representatives t
■While I am aware that the time in which Congreee'
proposes now to remain in session is very brief, and
that it is the desire, as far as is consistent with the
public interest, to avoid entering upon the general
business of legislation, there is one subject which
concerns,-forcibly, the welfare of the country, that
I deem it my duty to bring before you.
I have no doubt that you will concur with mein
the opinion, that it is desirable to restore the States
which were engaged in the rebellion to their proper
relations to the Government and country, at as
early a period as the people of those States shall be
found willing to become peaceful and orderly com
munities, and to adopt and anch Consti
tutions and laws as wifi effectually secure the civil
and political rights of all persons within their
borders.
The anthorityof the United States, which has been
vindicated and established by Its military power,
must undoubtedly be assented for the abeolnte pro
tection of all its citizens in the full enjqyment of the
freedom and security which is the object of a repub
lican government, but whenever the people of a re
bellious State are ready to eater in good faith upon
the accomplishment of this object in entire con
formity with the constitutional snthority of Congress
it is certainly desirable that aU causae of irritation
shoald be removed as promptly as pnarfhlo, that a
more perfect union may be established and the
country be restored to peace and prosperity.
The Convention of the people of Virginia, which
met in Richmond on Tuesday, December 2d. 1967,
framed a constitution for that State which eras adopt
ed by the Convention on the 17th of April, 1868, and
I desire respectfully to call the attention of Congress
to the propriety of providing by law for the holding
of an election in that State at some time during the
months of Msy and Juno next, under direction of
the military commander of the District, at
which election the question of tho adoption
of that constitution shall bo submitted to the
citizens of the State, and if this shoald ssem de
sirable, I would recommend that a separate vote be
taken upon such parts as may be thought expedient,
and that, at the same time and under the same au
thority, there shall be an election for the officers
provided under such constitutions, snd that the
oonatitotion or such parte thereof as shall have been
adopted by the people be submitted to Congress on
the 1st Monday of December next, for its considera
tion so that in the same as then approved, the
necessary steps will have been taken for the resto
ration of the State of Virginia to its proper relations
to the Union.
I am led to make this recommendation from the
confident hope and belief that the people of that
State are now ready to co-operate with the National
Government, in bringing it again into such relations
to the Union aa it ought, as soon aa possible, to es
tablish and maintain and to givs to all its people
those equal rights under tha law which were assert
ed in the Declaration of Independence, in the words
of one of the moat illustrious of ila sons.
1 desire, also, to ask tho consideration of Con
gress to the question, whether there is not jnst
gieunS for believing that the constitution framed
by a Convention of tho people of Xissisaippi. for
that State, and once rejected, might not be again
submitted to the people of that State in like man
ner, with tho probability of the same result ?

Mexico.
NzwYobx, March 5.—Tho Herald's Mexico
correspondent says the civil war in the State of
Tamaulipas continues to rage with unabated
fury. A party of rebels near Vergas defeated
Escobedo’s troops near Villa Grossa, capturing
bis equipage, archives, and §27,000 in specie.
The same party attacked the city of Lin area,
but were repulsed with heavy loss.
Escobedo's policy toward the rebels Is of the
most bloody and relentless character. Nothing
but extermination satisfies him. He has given
orders to have shot all foreigners who are not
provided with passports. Two American traders
on their return from Saltillo to the Rio Grande,
were robbed by the military, then shot and their
bodies hung on trees.
Letter from Washington.
The Adjournment and Butin*** of Congre**-—
Georgia and Virginia Ddegation* to the Preti-
dent—I'nion Pad fie Railroad—The Preti-
dent't Nomination*—The Judiciary BUI, cte.
Curreepondtne* of the Bnttimor« Sun.]
It may be set down as pretty certain, now
♦b»t an adjournment tine dt* will be had on next
Saturday, the House having promptly concurred
in the Senate's amendment to that effect to its
resolution. To get everything up, business will
be moved daring thi* week and it is quite prob-
able night sessions will be resorted to.
The extremists in both houses will make a
desperate effort to pass a bill of some kind for
Georgia, but success cannot be assumed,
as there are other matters neeessary to be con
sidered which may pnsh off the Georgia matter,
which, if so, will not be a subject of much re
gret, as many people, including even orthodox
Republicans, think Georgia can manage to exist
without any further congressional interference.
Gov. Bollock, however, who has been here
some time, is at the Capitol daily, and never
rests in his attempts to induce congressional
action in such a way aa to farther the particular
interests of his clique. The President is uader-
stoood to have expressed to Mr. Bullock his
doubts of tho legality of any further interference
by Congress, bat, tike the cautious man ho is,
qualifies his doubts with the assertion that
there aro better lawyers in Congress than he,
and lie supposes they will know what is right.
A second delegation of Georgians also called
on the President, which was headed by Hon.
Joshua Hill, and representing the conservative
element. They are utterly opposed to the rale
of Bollock and his friends, and want a State
government upon tho theory and principlo ad-
vocated by ex-Gov. Brown and Alexander H.
Stephens and others, and aro endeavoring to
convince the President and Congress that pcaoe
will be more speedily restored by looking In
that direction than in any other.
The Union Pacific Railroad imbroglio is the
" order in the Senate to-morrow, and it is
will occupy tho entire day. There are
several amendments to be offered to the House
bill, and quite a number of Senators tiavo ‘de
termined to speak on the subject. The fight is
a most interesting one, and is watched with
great anxiety by all parties here.
The President will this week send in bis nom
inations as fast as they can be made out, as the
fortunate parties for all classes of positions havo
been prettv much all determined upon. The
Senate will sqpre all the time it possibly can
from legislation to finish up the executive busi
ness, as Senators desire, if poasiblo, to avoid
the necessity of a called extra session of the
Semite. They will certainly have to work tike
beavers to prevent it.
Three days were taken np with discussing the
merits of General Longstreot, and many of tho
Radical Senators who voted for him say that
they ore glad be is confirmed, but they truly
hope tho President will send in no more tike him,
and it is very likely that the President will ac
quiesce in their wishes.
The bill to amend the judicial system of the
United States, having been amended by the
House, is now being considered by the Senate
judiciary committee, who will probably report
it with some future amendments, but in such a
shape as to secure the concurrence of both
houses. In anticipation of its passage there ig
quite a lively anxiety among the legal fraternity
throughout as to the prospective occupants of
the new judgeships it creates.
For the additional justice of the Supreme
Court, ex-Attorney General ETarts is promi
nently mentioned. For the fifteenth circuit
judgeship) to be created, there are no end to
eminent lawyers who wiil tie wilting to serve
the government in that capacity. For the new
circuit judgeship of New York, ex-Senator Har
ris, of that State is most prominently men
tioned.
Nohthkbn Visitors at Aixex.—The Chronicle
and Sentinel, of Augusta, learns from Aiken,
that Thnrlow Weed's health is much improved.
Mr. Stetson, of the Astor House snd ex-Secrota
ry Seward were expected there, Senator Sprague
has engaged a furnished house. Mis. Sprague
and family and Miss Chase were expected to ar
rive on Wednesday.
There is a large crowd of visitors now at
Aiken, and many more are expected daring the
present month.
The same paper also says:
We had the pleasure of a call yesterday from
Mr. Derby, the enterprising New York pub
lisher, who owns a valuable fruit farm near
Aiken, and whose family have been spending
the winter there. With him, we were glad to
meet the Hon John E. Dcvetin, Corporation
Attorney for the city of New York, who has also
been spending a few weeks with his family at
Aiken.
These gentlemen are very much pleased with
our delightful winter climate, and speak in fine
terms of their situation at Aiken.
Colckbcs Municipal Goverxhest.—The new
mayor and city administration were inaugurated
on Monday. The Enquirer says:
Mayor Mott, in retiring, delivered a hand
some and well conceived valedictory address, in
which he briefly reviewed the condition of tho
city affairs as he found them, as he administer
ed them, and as he left them ; and concluded
by de daring that if in the past there had been
any differences between himself and his fellow
citizens, that on his own part he then and there
buried them alL The inaugural address of
Mayor Mcllhenny was appropriate and sugges
tive of business.
.The new city government has struck for the
most rigid economy. The salary of the Mayor is
fixed at $1,000; clerks $1,200; resrabsl deputy
and two bridge kepers $1,000 each; wharfinger
$600; city physician $800, and so on.
1 period of thirty-
ballasted and ready
The Old Intelligencer—Interesting
Rumor.
A dispatch to the New York Herald says:
It is whispered about in certain confidential
circles that Senator Sprague contemplates the
purchase of the (fid National Intelligencer, now
completely run to seed, and that he intends to
give it a new lease of life in engineering a new
pbRtiesI jihewiiwit, Oman Independent tack, in
behalf of Chief Justice Chase for the succession.
How the old Intelligencer apparently flourished
under Andy Johnson is a marvel to the uniti-
ated, and the solution of the mystery will prob-
ably involve some very remarkable develop
ments. Let it suffice, for the present, that in
losing the sops of the kitchen it is said to be
hard up, and that Senator Sprague can get it
cheap for cash. Looking at his recent bold and
independent course in the Senate these rumors
have the air of plausibility, and there may be
something in them. Unquestionably, a "Wash
ington newspaper under Sprague’s control, lead
ing off on the line of his late speeches, would

and the Democracy ready to back him in it.
It is supposed that the cultivation of tobacco
in Virginia and North Carolina will be aban
doned. Those who planted last year are report
ed to have realized enormous losses, and will
plant no more hereafter^until it shall become
less ruinous to do so.
