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. And said court shall return none who fail to By Telegraph. 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.

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.

Washington, Juno 15.—The Senate Finance Com mittee will fix the tax on cotton at two cents per pound, and it is probable that the two Houses will compromise on three cents per pound. The general principles of the House biff are not altered. 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 Senator. 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 to Alexandria.—Richmond limn' New York Market.

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. < Notice.
