LARBEST SiBCUUTIOH IN THECITT ANB COUNT'
SATURDAY, JUN*^ 18. 1866.
To otjb COWTBT FEIERDS.-A8 much Interest I.
It throughout the country in regard to the pros
pects of the cotton and other crops we wiU be grab
ful to our planting friends and others in the interioi
for information on that subject. Those who have op
portunities for obtaining valuable information in
regard to the growing crops, the working of the free-
labor system, and kindred matters, of general interest,
will confer a favor by communicating the same to us
THE BILL REGULATING OFFICIAL
APPOINTMENTS.
It has been generally supposed that the at
tempt to change existing laws and customs
recording the manner of tnakiog appoint
ments to office, which caused so much dis
cussion in the Senate, had been formally
abandoned, as not only futile but unneces
sary. But lijfc Williams, of Pennsylvania,
who is prominent in the House for his per
sonal hostility to the President, on Monday
last introduced a bill, not exactly from the
Judiciary Committee, but with tacit cousent
of a majority of its members, which pro
posed radical changes in the manner ol
making appointments to and removals from
office. Its chief features are: Making the
consent of the Senate necessary to the re
moval as well as to the appointment of an
officer; providing that when vacancies occur
durinn the recess of the Senate, from any
natural cause or disability, the President may
temporarily fill such vacancy by and with the
advice of the Attorney Geueral, providing
that when a person has once been nominated
for an office and rejected, be shall not be re
nominated; and raising all offices where the
salary exceeds $1,000, above the grade of so-
cullcd inferior offices by requiring their con
firmation by the Senate. The substance of
the whole thing is that it requires the joiut
appointing power to be exercised in removals
as well as in appointment. The bill was or
dered recommitted to the Committee on the
Judiciary, where it has not yet been con
sidered.
If the legislation of Congress continues
much longer in the line of innovation which
has characterized its actions thus far, it will
be necessary to appoint a Committee of In
vestigation to discover any vestige of the
Constitution under which the Government
was formerly administered. JVith the
changes which have been made and are to
be made in that once venerated instrument
thousands who have recently sworn to sup
port and abide by it would be unable to rec
ognize it. Repudiated and disregarded as it
is. it might as well be put aside altogether,
The politicians of the present day are evi
dently of the opinion that our age is too
much advanced in the science of government
to stand the need of a written Constitution,
or they desire a Constitution, like the tariff
law,, on a “sliding scale.”
EMIGRATION TOTHE UNITED STATES
We find in a Northern exchange some in
foresting statistics showing the wonderful
aad almost geometrical increase of European
immigration to this country. Tne numbero
foreigners arriving at New York, alone,
during the month of May last was 45,300
Of these . 873 were bound for Illinois, 916
Tue swelling proportions of the human ex
cdus irom Europe during the present year
completely surpass that of any former pe
riod. Ireland actually seems to be coming
over cn matse. It would seem that one ob
ject at this moment nearest to the heart ot
foe Irish youth of both sexes, is to escape
from the land of their birth to the fields ot
America. It is said that the most robust,
promising and energetic part of the popula
tion are constantly on the wing lor this con
tinent. Notwithstanding the fact that re
cently, labor there, for the very cause thus
designated, has become exceedingly Bcarce
and wages high, all who can rake and scrape
together, by any device, the necessary means
to pay i passage, are up and away tor Ame
rica. Well to do farmers, small manufactur
ers and merchants,professionals of all kinds,
likely mechanics, and day laborers, who
have accumulated their scanty savings, seem
equally affected by the mania of immigration
This isowing iu part, doubtless,to the appli
cation of the vigorous repression measures
adopted by the English Government since
the discovery of the Fenian conspiracy.
In Germany the excitement i9 nearly, if
not quite as great as in Ireland. The Prus
sians people, particularly, are terrified at the
thought ot a general European war and the
loss of civil liberty, which they appear to
believe will flow from it, no matter which
King or Emperor wins the field. The ut
most panic prevails among and throughout
all the petty State* of the Confederation,
in Austria, alone, an iron will represses this
feeling and closes the gates of exit. Yet, in
spite of these most strenuous efforts tbc
American Consul at Hamburgh writes, that
in that city alone, 150,000 emigrants have
already engaged passage for the United
States.
Is it indeed utterly impossible to attract
any portion of this immense and overflowing
tide of emigrants to the productive fields of
the South ? It really seems so. And yet
there is nothing whatever in the essence ot
things to withhold them from the Southern
States, where it is admitted that some of the
loveliest, most salubrious and most fertile re
gions of America may be found. Our peo
ple have been too completely impoverished
by the war to control this matter to any
great extent; 'yet, it is in the power of
Northern men of foresight who are interested
in the development ot Southern interests, to
turn the life-giving stream largely into the
Southern channel. It has been truly said
that it could act here like tresh, new blood
in an exhausted system, and that superfluity
which, at the more crowded North brings
sorrow and disease, would here be absorbed
by numberless demands for labor, and the
vast spaces of unproductive territory yet
scarcely stirred by the implements of hus
bandry.
We sincerely hope that this subject will
yet engage the earnest attention of our North
ern friends who, by earnest effort, may ac
complish much iu the manner we have indi
cated for the resuscitation of the Southern
States, and the advancement of their own in
terests. ✓
THE JUSTICES Ol
COURT AN# THIS CtttK LAW
It will be [recollected it was officially
announced, some Weeks since, that Governor
Jenkins had succeeded, under an act of the
Legislature, in obtaining the money to pur
chase com for the indigent widows and or
phans of soldiery disabled soldiers, infirm
and destitute white persons, Afi. entitled to
receive the some. Prompted Vf A sense of
duty, and that earnest desire for'the dPBfe of
humanity for which he has been p&verbially
distinguished, his Excellency, as soon as the
money became subject to hie order, promptly
purchased the com, and shipped it to Atlanta,
where it is now awaiting distribution, under
the supervision of P. Thwentt, Esq., dis
tributing agent.
On the 24th ultimo, Mr. Thwentt ad
dressed a circular to the Justices of the
inferior Court in each county of the State,
informing them that he wae ready to dis
tribute the com from Atlanta, and requesting
:hem to inform him at what depot or depots
on any one of the railroads shipments would
oe received. We have been reliably informed
that, up to within a few days past, no re
sponses had been received to his circular
rom the following counties, viz: Appling.
Bulloch,. Burke, Butts, Camden, Charlton,
Joffee, De Kalb, Emanuel, Echols, Glynn,
Irwin, Jasp'er, Lowndes, McIntosh, Miller,
Montgomery, Rabun, |Telfair, Washington
md Webster. We are informed also that no
returns had been received from these counties
of the names of those entitled as beneficiaries
under the act of the Legislature, which re
quires the Justices of the Interior Courts “to
make out and forward to the Governor a
tatement of the number in each class within
their respective counties who must suffer for
bread unless they receive aid, and to require
such soldiers’ widows, for herself and chil
dren, and each guardian or person in charge
of an orphan of a deceased soldier, and such
person who is dependant upon a deceased
soldier for support, and each soldier who is a
cripple for life, and each aged and infirm
white person who claims the benefit of this
act,'to make oath that they have not the
means of support, or of getting bread enough
to live upon without aid, and that they are
unable by their own labor to obtain bread.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
Washington, lone 15.—The President returned to
the Senate the biff incorporating the Montana Min
ing Company with Ills objections. The President
thinks tbe biff gives a monopoly to a corporation of
unknown corporators, and to tbe detriment of settlers
who hare rights to claim land under the homestead
law.
In the House a Committee was appointed to investi
gate the facts of Bossean’s aaault on Grinneff, to report
the same, with a resolution looking to the vindication
of the dignity of the House and the protection’of its
members.
Mr. Bingham submitted a concurrent resolution
questing tbe president to inform, forthwith, the Gov
ernors of thej Uites of the passage by Congress of the
-proposed coyrftltational amendment, so that the legis
latures IU ay act on it at once. The resolution waa ob
jected to, and remarks followed, which led to a deci
sion by the speaker that joint resolutions did not have
to be submitted to the President for his signature.
After some debate on the special order of the day, the
bill restoring the Southern. States to their politics 1
privileges, the Honse^fioorned.
Steamship Transaction—Arrest ot the
« Purchasers.
New Yoee, June 15.—L. Morton Montgomery snd
A. H. Coulds, late of the Confederate army, and reprs-
senting themselves to be agents of Santa Anns, in
April purchased the steamer Agnes, for one hundred
thousand dollars in ooid, from W. J. Taylor & Co., of
Philadelphia, to be paid on the delivery of the vessel
at St. Thomas. The purchase was repudiated by the
General, and the owners of the vessel returned to this
country and gave the purchasers one bond to fulfill
the terms of the contract. They failed, however, and
were yesterday arrested on warrants and committed
to jail, in default of bail in $30,000 each.

ported from the Committee of Fifteen forthia purpose
would be vetoed. It ianecessry, therefore, to puttt

solution was passed at the opening of the acaarm. ana
thus evade the veto. No Senator or Bejweosntonve

in a bedtick, with the initials "K. B. on the clothing.
This makes four female bodies that have been discov
ered inclosed in the same manner on that beach dur
ing the last two weeks.
Trial of Paymaster Paulding.
Washisgton, June 15.—The trial of Paymaster
Paulding was concluded to-day. It waa shown that he
had disbursed over one hundred and forty million
dollars in the Department of Washington, and larger
sums in the South. Nothing was ever alleged against
his official acts until hia deposits of large sums with
the Merchants’ National Bank, just before the failure,
for which he was arraigned for violation of orders.
None of the evidence showed corrupt motives. The
findings of the Court-Martial was sent to the Presi
dent.
Rumored Assassination of Judge U^deiw
wood
Washington, June 15.—Rumors of the assassination
of Judge Underwood were started in the city to-day—
it was a canard-
take this oath, and shall allow none to take it
who, in their opinion, have the means of pro
curing bread, or are by their labor able to
earn the same.”
As the State only delivers the com at Rail
road stations, we respectfully suggest to the
Justices of the Inferior Couffi^of McIntosh,
Glynn, Camden, Charlton and Echols that it
would be advisable to have the shares
of corn duo them sent to some person
in this city, to be forwarded by boats or
other conveyance.
We publish the above facts for the informa
tion of all concerned, with the remark, that
if the com is needed in the counties named,
it is of the highest importance that the re
turns for distribution and the directions for
shipment should be forwarded forthwith to
the distributing agent at Atlanta. The day
on which the distribution will be made is
near at hand, and ■ the non-reception of the
necessary papers may deprive the delinquent
counties of their distribution shares of an ar
ticle of subsistence which is doubtless
needed by the classes of people for which it
was intended.

Democratic Nomination for U. S. Senator
In New Hampshire.
Washinoion, Jane 15 —The Republicans of New
Hampshire have pominated Jas. W. Patterson, the pre
sent Congressman from that State, for United States

Rki’orted Indictment of Gen. John C.
Breckinridge.—The Richmond papers state
positively that Gen. Breckinridge was in
dicted at the same time that a true bill was
found against Mr. Davis by Underwood’s
jury. The indictment is a literal copy of
that of Mr. Davis, with the exception of tbe
being thought that the President would not
grant him amnesty while under indictment
for treason. We are pleased to observe that
many of our Northern cotemporaries, of
noth political parties, condemn unhesitating
ly this unexpected proceeding, which has
been not inaptly characterized as “another
evidence of the malignity that rules in the
counsels of the bloodthirsty Underwood,
who, to Jeffreys’ disregard of hifmanity,
unites the assinine qualities of a Dogberry.”
It is believed, however, that by the inter
position of Northern gentlemen of influence,
»ome of whom are prominent Republicans,
ibo prosecution in this case will be restrained
by executive action, and General B. allowed
to return to the United States.
The Ship Monarch of the Seas, with 700
Passengers, Supposed to be Lost.
New Yoke, June 15.—Fears are entertained for the
safety of the clipper ship Monarch of the SeaB, now
forty’ days over due from Liverpool, having sailed
from that port on March 20th, with 700 passengers.
The Cholera in Mew York.
New Yobe, June 15.—Another death from cholera
in Cherry street is reported, and two more cases, not
fatal. Several new cases have occurred at quarantine.
It is denied that the Tinderpest affects cattle here.
The Special Milk Inspector says it is the common
swiff disease that is now prevailing.
The Richmond Times, speaking of Horace
Greeley’s proffer of bail for the release of Mr.
Davis, says: “All this talk of bail for bis
(Mr. Davis’) appearance is the sheerest non
sense, bosh and gammon. It is positively
sickening to read of that hoary political hack,
Horace Greeley, going to Washington lo
offer himself as a bondman—a good adver
tising and political card possibly, and remind
ing us of Barnum’s subscription to a cburcb.
11 Mr. Davis wished bail, and it was granted
there are hundreds of high-toned gentlemen
in New England of wealth and worth, who
sympathized with us and our cause, and the
principles for which we fought, who would
go bis security to any amount” Mr. Davis
has certainly suffered misfortune aud hu
miliation enough without being compelled to
owe his enlargement to such friends of the
South as Horace Greeley.
Tiib Most Ridiculous Stort Yet—At
leoed Attempt to Assassinate Underwood
in Richmond.—Judge Underwood’s organ,
the Alexandria State Journal, says *‘an at
tempt was made to assassinate him (Under
wood) during tbe session of bis court in
Richmond,” and “other attempts of like
character will be made daring the recess of
bis court.” During his recent visit to this
city a gentleman accidentally jostled him on
the street. This was tbe “attempt to assas
sinate” the just and upright Judge. It is
singular he said nothing about it till he got

[From the Richmond Whig.
Napoleon, Mr. geward and Santa Anna
When three such astute diplomats as Louis Na
poleon, William H. Seward and Santa Anna, set their
heads t gether in consultation, ordinary mortals may
not by the closest scrutiny succeed in detecting their
purposes until such time as they may choose to di-
vuige them; but every one will feel assured that thay
have some great purpose in view. Such men do not
fall together accidentally, or from personal affection
and ufflnity. Beyond their own immediate hearth-
stones and family circles, this class of men are with
out sympathies, affections and affinities. When Mr.
Seward made his mysterious voyagp to the West
Indienj he fished up the old Mexican exile, and held a
conference with him. • The private relations between
these two public men were not such as to oall fox such
a visit. It was immedistely suspected that Mr.
Seward’s visit to und conference with Santa Anna had
political significance, aud was connected with the
Fr.u:co-Mexican question. This opinion was strength
ened when, a short time thereafter, the old
Mexican chief left his island residence and ap
peared in tbe United States. The promise to
withdraw the French troops from Mexico—which su
pervened upon the consultations alluded—imparted
additional strength to this opinion. Shrewd politi
cians begin to see more in these conferences than the
mere withdrawal of the Frenoh troops from Mexico
and the abandonment of Maximilian to his own un
aided resources. They draw auguries from the con
ferences and intrigues now on foot by no mean* fa
vorable to the Imperial Government now existing in
Mexico, or to the pretensions of the so-called Liberal
Government, which, by a pleasant fiction, is supposed
to be administered by President Juarez. It ia conjec
tured that the tripartite understanding and purpose of
Napoleon, Seward aud Santa Anna Is to combine all
Mexico in a sort of conspiracy to oast Maximilian and
Juarez, and make the opportunity for Santa Anna to
slip in, either as Emperor or President of Mexico.
The French troops may be made serviceable in effec
tuating this scheme before their withdrawal from
Mexico, if such be the design of Naj>olson.
They belong to him, and were merely loaned or
hired to Maximilian. Mr. Romero, who represents at
Washington the imaginary Liberal Government of
Mexico, and all tbe Mexicans in the United States
who are in the interest of Juarez, loudly and bitterly
denounce Sanu Anns, and accuse him of plotting the
downfall of Juarez aud his own elevation. As for Na
poleon, he maintains before tbe world that hia part in
placing and maintaining Maximilian upon the throne
of Mexico was taken to secure the payment of French
claims. By placing Santa Anna in the seat of Maxi
milian, either as Emperor or president, according
to the election of the Mexicans, he will have it in his
power to secure a treaty guaranteeing not only the
original French claims, but the payment of all ex
penses attending the Frenoh invasion. This would
accomplish his object, and satisfy the susceptibilities
of tbo sensitive French, people.
So far as tbe UuitetkStates Government is con
cerned, the re-establishment of Santa Anna in Mexico
would, looking to ulterior objects, we are inclined
to think, be not a bad stroke of policy. With Maxi
milian on the throne war would ultimately be inevi
table; for every hour or his occupancy of that throne
is a continuance in the violation of a cherished tradi
tion of our people—the Monroe doctrine. As for
Juarez and his faction, there ia no rational hope of his
being able, unaided, to eject Maximilian and achieve
an undisputed mastery of the country.
We have said that it is difficult to probe the designs
of such diplomatists as Louis Napoleon, Santa Anna
aud our Secretary of State. As to the two first named
we shall not attempt it; nor shall we venture anr
scrutiny into the plant of the last, farther <ti»" to sug
gest that all enquiry in that direction will begin
wrong that does not take for a clue tbe idea that
Mexico is, at some day perhaps not distant, to bo in
corporated in the United Mates. The doctrine of
“manifest destiny" Jus really no more earnest disci
ple than Mr. Seward. Canaan, Mexico, "the whole
unbounded continent” are embraced in tea expansive
view of tbe future of this oountry. The presence of
Maximilian in Mexico, under European patronage, is,
therefore, "an impediment to be rid ot" and, hence,
the conference—we had almost written collusion—
Santa Anna. <

Statea, who had selected land in the neighborhood of
the Cordova colony^deeiring to oocngjr a building lo-
oated on or near said land, ordered an Indian family
occupying it to “clear out" forthwith. The Indians
did so and afterward laid their case tteten the leader
of the nearest Liberal oommacd. _ IMS officer, with
about one thousand mounted worn, made a forced
march to the Cordova colony, took twenty-five Ameri
cans prisoners, and carried them awty as hostage! for
the future good oondnet of the rmuindte. Ills under
