The two questions which head this ar
ticle have been propounded to us, in
substance, from various quarters. We
propose to reply to them both together
in this way, and in as brief and pointed
a manner as justice to tbe snbjeot will
allow.
1. The answer to the first question^
then, we say, in our judgment, depends
entirely upon a correct answer to another
question; and. that is, has Governor Bol
lock, in his administration, been guilty
of such malfeasance in office as to war
rant an impeachment ? Has he violated
any law ? Has he misused the funds or
credit of the State ? Has be, in any way,
corruptly abused the high trust imposed
in him ? If ho has, then, most assured
ly, in onr judgment, he ought to be im
peached and removed.
How tbe facts are we do not know. We
prejudge no man.
Bat upon the Legislature, as the Grand
Inquest of the State, devolves tbe great
and responsible duty of making a full and
impartial investigation of tbe facts—the
official acts of Governor Bullock; and if
he be found to be criminally derelict, be
should be brought to trial and punish
ment. For the purpose of the investiga
tion, we believe a Joint Committee of
the two Houses, two of the Senate, and
three of the House, composed of the
ablest and best men in each body, should
be raised, clothed with power to send for
persons and papers, to whom the whole
matter should he given in charge.
This Committee should be chosen in
in each House by a viva voce vote, and
not appointed by tbe Presiding officer of
either. The responsibility of the selec
tion should rest upon the individual
members of each House respectively,
who will, in this way, be responsible to
their constituents for the votes they may
givo in the selection of the Committee,
If, upon a thorough and impartial inves
tigation, by this Committee, between
Governor Bullock and the people of
Georgia, no oot of liis shall be found
which warrants an impeachment, then
no movement on that line onght to be
instituted. But if any such acts shall
be found, then, in our judgment, no
considerations of an extraneous nature
whatever, ought to arrest or prevent his
impeachment and removal.
In relation to the second question, as
to what should be done by the Legisla
tire upon the subject of the lease of the-
State Eoad, our opinion is, that all
questions pertaining to the validity of
this lease are of a judicial.character, and
that the Legislature should do nothing
in relation to it, except to provide by
joint resolution a law for having these
questions properly submitted to the
Courts.
The public sentiment of the State
twelve months ago seemed to be very
generally in favor of a lease of tbe road.
The policy or impolicy of that mode of
disposing, temporarily, of this property
of the State is not, therefore, now a ques
tion for tho consideration of the present
Legislature. The only question upon
this subject now properly before the
country, is the legality of the lease which
was made, and the only duty resting upon
the Legislature ia regard to it, is to have
that question properly settled by the
Courts. A. H. S.
ers, who, though comparatively few in
numbers, move the masses by "the irre-
sistable pressure" of sectional bate and
social proscription.

The venerable Dr. Means, while on his
ivav from Macon to Savannah last week,
bad his pocket picked of his watch and
Pocket book, containing $1,R)0. The
doctor advertises that if the thief will re
of the Atlantic will take their true posi
tion, and the circumstances certainly
warrant much higher figures than those
which now prevail. Tne crop does not
promise to exceed3,000,000 bales, though
a late frost might enable the planters to
save move.
On the other hand, advices from India
are not of an encouraging character by
any means. The low range of prices last
season naturally deterred the ryots from
extending the acreage under cottom and
the planting season proved vary unpropi-
tious. The British Commission reports
that the weather after the spring months
proved too wet for planting in the
central provinces and Berari, and since
the seed has been put in the ground
there has been entirely too much dry
weather, and in many sections vegetation
is being burned up.
When these facts are taken into consid
eration and allowance is, made for the in
creased consumptive power of Europe
this year, the position, of the market ap
pears very strong, and. the conclusion is
forced upon us that those engaged in the
cotton trade will have the advantage this
season of operating upon a rising market
instead of a falling one.

Gov. Bullock’s Resiguitiou.
Last evening, the. entire community
was roused to a high degree of excite
ment by the report that the Governor
had resigned, and that Hon. Benj. Con
ley, the President of tho last Senate,
had been sworn in as his successor by
Chief Justice Lochrane. . We publish
the official correspondence, as well as the
Governor’s address to his political
friends, in which he pretends to give his
Teasons for resigning, in another column
this morning.
This step is equivalent to a plea of
guilty. If he had remained here and
openly confessed it, the public mind
would hardly be any more firmly impres
sed with its truth, while he would have
received more sympathy and respect by
all classes. When he left, it was an
nouncedthat he would return to-night.
It is now stated by his friends that he
will return in two weeks. We have al
ready intimated a suspicion—a half
prophecy, that he would never return if
he could help it.

His Honor was engaged in a higher
tribunal yesterday morning, and dele
gated his Pythias, Lowry, to present his
compliments and entertain his guests.—
Lowry is a connoisseur in drawing-room
etiquette. He receives and dismisses
His Honor’s company with an ease, self-
possession and dignity that at once hon
ors himself and flatters the guests. Many
of them, prompted by the purest dictates
of patriotism, offer contributions of five
and ten dollars to the city government,
which is never refused. Pythias, also
anxious to prolong their stay, often
presses his guests to visit the public
buildings, and his solicitations to visit
the calaboose and jail are often so urgent
that it would be positively uncourteous
to refuse. All honor to our city magis
trates.

were present to witness the final disposi

question was “cussed and dis-cussed”un

From the New Orleans Picayune of Saturday.
Probable Future of the Cotton
Market.
The range of prices for cotton contin
ue to rule unusually low, considering the
position of the staple and the prospects
of supplies in the future. The .quota
tions are not now so high as one month
since, by jc. or more, though there has
been no material improvement in the
crops, and the supply of American
pressing on the market has not been
large.
Liverpool, the great authority in the
cotton market, is just now loaded with
East India cotton of last year’s crop, and
and prices there are depressed in conse
quence. The low quotations transmitted
from Liverpool to every quarter ojf the
globs, exercises a controlling influence
upon prices in other markets, and the
staple therefore continues to sell at rates
which may be considered as dispropor
tionately low in view of the present pros
pects of supply and demand.
As we have said before, the supply of
East India cotton offered pi the Liver
pool and Continental markets at this
season of the year, naturally exercises a
bad effect upon the American staple.
This is more strictly true this season, for
spinnera had provided liberal stocks of
American cotton to ran in with the poor
er grades, find are, therefore; more inde
pendent than for years past.
This depressing cause, however, is bnt
temporary, and will be removed at an
early date, when cottons “rom this side

She said, ‘I will, yon bet.* ”
But a policeman came up about this
time and said the gentleman was perjur
ing himself, he had sworn eternal fealty
to whisky. He was tom from his dulci-
na’s charms, conveyed to His Honor’s
Court, where he said he was home-sick,
as well as love-sick. Lowry offered him
the princely hospitalities of the calaboose
as a consolation in his desolation. We
understand he wanders about the echo
ing corridors of that stately pile mourn
ing—
“Only to see your face again,
Only to touch your hand,—
Only to hear your voice again,
Ere I go to tho silent land!

Where the soft winds come and go.
Only to know you will think one day.
Though never the thought yon tell,

Bricklayers and masons in Chicago are

which each shall pledge himse.t to work

rebuilding the city. They also wish that

Salt Lake, Oct. 29.—Tlie prisoners
ire quartered comfortably. Elder Geo.
O. Cannon arrived this morning from
San Francisco, and preached this even
ing in the large Tabernacle to an audi
ence, numbering at least 10,000. He
counseled bis hearers to abstain from any
act of violence, and submit to tbe law.—
God would protect them and deliver them
from their persecutors. Tlie crusade
against them, he said, would only
strengthen and glorify them iu the end.
Their church could not be overturned;
their faith was the inspiration of the Di
vine Spirit, and would endure.
Elder Pratt was not so conservative. He
did not want any whining Judge to say
to him as he did to Hawkins, “I am sor
ry for yon.” He wanted uo sympathy
from any Federal official. He was ready
to go to jail for twenty years, bnt he did
not want any sympathy from such a
source. He predicted that God would
totally overthrow and. annihilate the
tho present prosecutors of the Mormon
people.
