MILEAGE—A SLIGHT DISCREPANCY.
The committee to whom was referred the
consideration of the charge that c ertain
members had drawn exorbitant mileage sub
mitted majority and minority reports.
Messrs. Snead and Goode submitted a ma
jority report, that at the instance of the
mover of the resolution (Hillyer of Camden.)
nine members, supposed by him to be guilty
of the offense, were summoned before u«, aud
upon a full investigation of their cutea, we
arc satisfied the charge, so far &a they are con
cerned, is utterly gratuitous and groundless.
Two of this number have not even drawn the
full amount to which they are legally entitled.
When it is rememiiered that at the last
wssi wi of this General Assembly, the mover
of this resolution was publicly reprimanded
at the Bar of this House, for the like offense
which he gratuitously charges upon others,
we r. gret to say that we are irresistibly driv
en to the conclusion, that in thus doing, he
was actuated by a spirit of malice and a de
sire to throw a mellow light over his own
criminal trcnsgre&sions.
Claiborne Snead,
C. T Goode.
3Ir. Ilillycr, of Camden. Chairman of the

Mr. Pou hoped the section would be re

Mr. w. D. Anderson, of Cobb, thought the
clerkship entirely superfluous. The object of
the bill was to furnish facilities for education,
and that section was not calculated to furnish
such facilities. He believed that the Com
missioner would have ample time to attend
to correspondence.

tion.

Mr. Speaker: The undersigned, members
of the House, who were prevented by a
motion to lay on the table from giving ex
pression to their objections to the bill giving
the aid of the State to the Atlantic and Guli
Railroad, respectfully submit: That, consid
ering the act to be in some of its features
unconstitutional, conceiving it to be in viola-
lation of the hitherto wise and well declared
policy of this—considering it to be a great
stretch of the principle of—State aid to ex
tend its operations to another State, and re
garding it 09 extremely unfort unatc that now,
when the credit of the State is struggling
through so many dangers, so many of her
bonds should be thrown upon the market:
We, therefore, earnestly protest against
this action, and respectfully request that our
protest be spread upon the journal of the
House.

CHARLES L. FUOST’S TESTIMONY.
The committee, Messrs. W. ii. Anderson,
Head and Lang, appointed to investigate the
alleged suppression of material testimony by
i Charles L. Front (President Brunswick and
Albany Railroad) before the Bond Committee,
and the withholding of the same from the
volume of printed evidence submitted by
said commit tec. -reported:
i “ That the act of the General Assembly of
December 9, r 1871, by virtue of which said
committee was appointed, specially charged
naid’ committee to. investigate the history
of said bond as to the illegal and fraud
ulent issuance and negotiation of the
same. The evidence bf said Frost not
included in the printed evidence sub
mitted by the Bond Committee, does not
i llustrate that issue. The evidence was not
material. For that reason and the farther
reason that the committee sought to print
notiiing but material testimony so as not to
incur any unncc-rsary expenditure, a por
tion of said Frost’s testimony was not
printed.
Said testimony was riot suppressed but
was left by the committee on file in the
Treasurer’s office subject to the inspection of
members of the LegisJa'ure. Its temporary
absence was accounted for satisfactorily to
your committee, It was- taken oat to be
copied.
Your committee will add that they were
sensibly impressed with the idea that the tes
timony of said Frost is justly subject to
very severe and unfavorable criticism.

Taking by the trade and export 66,000 bales
prr week for six.weeks is 396,000 bales, leav
ing stock on hand 756,000 bales, a decrease of
162,000 bales, compared with 178,000 last
year same time, and leaving the stock this
year 77 per cent, greater than last year.
But on the other hand, if the caterpillars
destroy 500,000 bales of this crop, which
some believe, it may frighten the spinners of
the world so that they may enter the market
and stock up so heavily that the supply will
seem to be so small that holders will not be
able to get their own prices for what cotton
there is left. Or, a killing frost may cutoff
the cotton crop the 1st of October snd have
the same effect.

Editors Cohtliltil'on: Suffer me, through
your columns, to retom my grateful acknowL
elements to **31ny Voters,” m your issue
of the 38 [ h, i.nnouoc ; Qg myself as a candi
date for the Hou$c of Re-picscotatives from
DeKalb county. It is an honor indeed to be
thought wot thy to represent in the halls of
Legislatoin such a county a3 DeKalb—a
county with a roti aud climate unsurpassed.
w : th farmers of established reputation for
practicality and success; with her Gordons,
Colqullls, Candtcrs, Howards, Hilly ere, Gold
smiths, and other men of acknowledged
worth and ability; her pre-eminence in the
Sunday School and eveiy other good work; her
glorious Democratic record, untarnished and
unspotted—a a honor not to be despised.
Rut private considerations impel me to de
cline being a candidate at «his time. While
I have naught to say against any whose
names have been suggested, candor and
justice to moral worth requires me to say
that the lion. \Y\ L. Goldsmith, of Decatur,
who lies made a faithful, prompt, aud reliable
Representative should be re-uoininated by
acclamation. I see no reason for a change.
Rut should the people, titlicr in convention,
or by primary election, select some other
good Democrat to be their stand aid bearer, I
will support him with all tue energy I possess.
It is desirable that tlie voice of the people
be expressed. Tfci» can only be done by a
convention of dclegatcsfrom each district, or
a mass meet ing'of the partv. It can not be
bad by Tom; Dick and Latry announcing

Portland, Me., August 15.—The follow
ing is the address of Mr. Greeley in the City
Hillyttikyr-.«it
Mr. Chairman and Ladies and Gentlemen :
It is certainly due that throughout tho
course of my life, so far as I have been
connected with public affairs, I have strug
gled with such.xapacity as God has given
me fop—first, impartial and universal liber
ty ; second, for the union and greatness of
onr common country; and third, and by no
means least, when the former* end was at
tained, for early and hearty reconciliation
and peace among our countrymen. For
these great_ ends ^ have struggled, and
I hops the issue of the third is
not doubtful. I thoroughly comprehend
that no personal consideration has drawn
this vast assembly together. Other higher
and grander considerations have collected
you around me to-day. It is part of the un
written law of our country that a candidate
for the Presidency may not make speeches
in vindication . and commendation of the
measures which his election is intended to
promote, though a candidate for Vice Presi
dent is under no such inhibition. 1 not only
acquiesce in the restriction; I recognize ana
affirm its propriety. The temptation to mis
interpret and misrepresent a candidate for the
higher posts is so great that the means of circu
lating such perversions among the people who
never see a word of their refutation, are so
vast that a candidate has no moral right to
subject his friends to the perils. He must
be brave, if not, invite by taking part in the
canvass. Yet thcie ia a truth to be uttered
in behalf-of those who have placed me
before the American p'oplc in n
present attitude, which does them sui
honor that I claim the privilege of
staling it here, and now lh» 1s
that truth. No person has ever yet made tbe
fact known that he proposed to support, dr
actively did support, my nomination, wheth
er at Cincinnati, at Baltimore, or in any ac
tion which resulted in sending dePrates to
either Convention as the basis of a claim for
office at my hands; no one who favored my
nomin&tlbn before either Convention has
sought office at my hands, either for
himself or for any one else; nor
has any .one suggested to me that I
might strengthen myself as a candidate by
promising to appoint any one to an important
office, in a very few instances less than a
dozen. I am certain some of * the smaller
fry of politicians have, since my double nomi
nation, hinted that I might increase my
chances of election by promlring a Post
Office or some such place. To my volunteer
bound, except to their own private interest. , - . ,
And I would sound a note of mu ding to the comspomlenta every where respectively,
people to beware of the cry of “no wmven- I have not usually responded to there over.
tures, but l now give general notice that
should I be elected I will consider the claims
of these untimely aspirants, after thoie df
the more moderate and retired shall have
been fully satisfied. [Applause.] In two or
three instances I* -have- been asked to say
whether I would or Would not,if elected; con
fine my appointments H Republicans, I an
swer these by pointing to the plank in
the Cincinnati platfoim wherein , all
who concur in the principles there
in involved are cordially invited to
participate in their establishment and vindi
cation. 1 .never,,yet, heard of a man who
asked his neighbors to help him raise a house
and proceedod to kick him out of it as soon
as the roof was fairly over his head. For
my own part* I recognize eveiy honest Ulan
who approves and adheres to the platform
as my political brother, V.nd as such fully en
titled to my confidence and friendly regard.
One other point demands a word: The e
who are adverse to me ask me what pledge
I have given to those lately hostile to the
Union to secure their favor and support. I
auswer that no man or woman in all the
South ever asked of mo, either directly
tion," however plantltrfy u»ged. Doubtless
there are many now urg-og it, good, honest
men who are niiaware oi the evil results that
may follow such a course. There is danger in
it. It *s the eiy of those who would entail
upon the State the payment of millions
of i legal bonus issued by Bullock. The on’y
safe course is to get a full, fair aud free c*x-
pivsiion of tho will of tile paiiy os to who
shall be the*r candidates from county to Con
gressional offices. The “do convention”
movement is designed for pi ivate ends, aud
not for public good. I a-.*ain warn the peo
ple to beware of it When the party speaks
and expresses its will, let every merabey obey.
There is no medium ground to occupy. Ue
who docs not support tbe nominees of the
Democratic party is not a true and faithful
member of the pirty, for by his own act he
aligns hiuiscR with its enemies. He votes
against its Hour aces—ca n the Radicals do
more?
It is well known that certain parties inject
into eveiy canvass local issues, when no such
local issue ex* s»s or should exist. I nm
aware that there is a strong local prejudice
existing at Decatur against Stone 3Iouutain.
But Stone Mountain does not reciprocate
ti; aud, will in this canvass, support Mr.

uier directly or
through another, any other pledge than is
given in all my acto and works. From the
hour of Lee’s surrender to this moment, no
Southern man ever hinted to mean expecta
tion, hope or wish that the rebel debt,
whether Confederate or State, should be
assumed or paid by tbe United States Qov-
ernment, and no Southern man who
could be elected to a legislature or made
Colonel of a militia regiment even suggested
the pens’oniug of all tbe rebel soldiers, or
any of them, even as a remote ppasibility.
Ail who nomina.ed me were perfectly aware
that I upheld and justified Federal legisla
tion to suppress Ku Klux conspiracy and
outrages, though,I.had long ago insist-
ed as strenuously as I now do that com
plete amnesty aud general oblivion of the
bloody, hateful past, wonld do more for tbe
suppression and utter extinction of snch out
rages than all the force bills and suspension
of habeat ccrptu ever devised by man.
Wrong and crime must be suppressed and
punished. But far wiser and nobler is the
legislation, the policy by which they
prevented. From those who sup-
G rt me in the South I have heard
t one demand—“Justice," but one
desire—“ Reconciliation.” They wish to he
heartily re-united and at peace with the North
on any terms which do not involve the sur
render of their manhood. They ask that
they should be regarded and treated by all.
Federal authority as citizens and not as cul
prits, so long as they obey and uphold every
law consistent with equality and right. They
desire a rule which, alike for white.and black,
•hall encourage industry; they discourage
rapacity and villiany; they cherish a hope
in which I fully concur, that between the5lh
of November and tbe 4th of March next
quite a number of Governors and other dig
nitaries, who, in the absurd namo of Re
publicanism and loyalty, have for years beeu
piling debts and -taxes upon their war-
Wasted States, will follow the wholesome
example of Bullock, of Georgia, and seek
the .hades of private life. The darker and
deeper there 'shades, the better for them-
s fives and formankind; and it is to be hoped
(list my election may hasten the much
desired begira of thieving carpet-beggeia
has reconciled them to the necessity of sup
porting mo many who would otherwise hi
hesitated aud, probably refused to do so.
Cotton*
The receipts this week an; 2.000 bales, 500
less than last year, and 3,0G0 less than two
years since. It is likely the receipts for next
week will be 3,009 bales, compared with 7,000
last year, and 5,000 the ’year before; and re
ceipts at interior towns 500 bales, compared
with 2,000 last year and 1,500 the year
before.
The .weather this week'has been warmer
than last, the thermometer averaging 84 at
noon, and for two days stood at 88 at noon.
YVind has been southeast all the week until
yesterday, two days clear with very light
showers, one day clear and hot, then two
days cloudy with very light showers, then
one rainy day, and yesterday clear and
pleasant.
The indications are that we shall have hot
but otherwise pleasant weather next week.
We have passed our smallest weeks’ re
ceipts, and this we k raise our estimate. We
expect there will be 1,000 bales of new cot
ton delivered at Galveston, Te.xas, next week.
From many portions of the South we bear
of caterpillars, but 8- e no scisod to chang<
our figures of last week.
Several of our correspondents write that
the damage is greatly exaggerated, and if we
s iould have hot and dry we it her from tlrs
time, the injury would be small in many lo
calities, where the reports come fr>m
that the cottoa is ruined.
It is now time to top cotton, as it has
grown nnbugli to weed, and should have the
time from now until frost to mature what has
already grown.
One of our Liverpool friends makes the
quantity of American cotton in sight and
expected at only 25,009 bales per
week from this time until November
1st, and so argues there may not lie enough;
while we make it 34,000 bales for the same
time, and believe there will be a plenty.
3Iany persons are, no doubt, expecting
gold to go up, and thus raise the price of cot
ton, but if a sudden rise in gold for a few
days should come it would help; but very
few persons who are holding cotton, aud as
soon as the present ..crop of cotton begins to
go forward to Europe* we expect
exchange to be so plenty that gold will
recede to ten percent, premium or less.
The time for planting the India crop is now
over. YVe have not yet heard the extent < f
the land planted in cotton, but suppose the
high prices have effected the Ryots just as it
would our planters, causing lh *m to plant all
they will he able to cultivate. Fur this Week
cotton lias been very steady in New York,
with medium sales. Contracts have changed
bnt little, and it is likely the
violent fluctuations in prices are about
over for this season. We do not expect to
see December contracts go *l»ove 19 cents
again. Many persons are basing their hopes
for a rise next month, upon the idea that
thJJ quantity afloat for Liver[*ool, is so small
that the stock there will decrease so very fast,
say 50,000 bales per week, th it it will put
the price up. In this we differ with them
last year, at this time, the stock
in Liverpool was 505,000 bales; in six weeks
:t was 423000 ba es, a decrc:vse of 173,000
bales This year the stock is 918,000 bales,
the amouut afloat is 234,000 bales, *11 of

Baltimore, Md., August 19 —The officers
of the Third National Bank state their loss
by burglary ns follows:
Fifty-seven thousand green backs and
National Bank notes, of which eight notes
were $100 each, and twenty-four notes $50
each, of the Third National Bank. The fol
lowing bonds are held as collateral: The
Northern Central Railroad, $2,500; North
Carolina State bonds, $' 1,500; Marietta and
Cincinnati Railroad, $100; United States
5:20s. $1,500; Western -I ary land Railroad,
$2,000. T.he bank offers a reward of ten
thousand dollars for the recovery of the
almve, or a pro rata for a partial
recovery of individual losses. The amount
lost by'depositors having boxes in the vault,
can’t be ascertained as many of them are out
of town. The hiss will probably amount to
several hundred thousand dollars, as it is
known several boxes containing bonds and
other securities amounting to seventy-five
thousand dollars were taken. The first floor
of Gluing’s bank building from which the
entrance was male into tlie Imnk vault, was

The Latest Swindlh,—Certain sanctimo
nious charlatans would fsin persuade the
world that diffusive stimulants have no medi
cinal value, and that detestable slops, com
posed of griping adds aud drastic purgative*,
are better tonics tbau the finest vegetable in
gredients combined with the purest and mel
lowest products of the still. But this son of
thing won’t go down. The stomach of our
common sense reject* it, aathe physical stom
ach of eveiy man with an undcpravcil palate
rejects, with loathing and abhorrence, the
nauseous abominations, “free from alcohol,”
which Humbugs ore trying <o thrust down

It is not likely that while Plantation Bitten,

much headway, bul H js as well to put the
