Wednesday, May 8, 1872.
The ('anal.
White in Atlanta, we called on
Col. Frobcl, President of the canal
coMfMuy. He is sanguine of the
svcceaa of the biß now before
Congress, granting aid to this
great enterprise. This bill re
quired th« Government of the
United Slates to endorse the
bonds of the company, and guar
antee the payment of the interest
until tin- completion of the work;
the amount of tire guarantee by
tire government to be eighty thou- j
sand dollars per wile.
The company do not propose to
do the carrying trade themselves,
and therefore there can be no mo- j
nopoly or nnjnst discrimination
against way freights, which gives
so much cause of complaint
against the railroads of the State
Everybody who desires to can
put a barge npon the canal, pay
ing the of toll provided
by tire bill, that being live mills
on a ton per mile. The expense
of building a canal-boat, with a
capacity of two hundred tons, will
r»utexceed two hundred and fifty
or three hundred dollars. Ordi
nary farmers, with small means,
can own their own boat and tiaus
port their crops to market wiih
their faun teams during the fall
and winter. We have heard the
question frequently asked, what
length of time will it take to cum- j
plete the work? Col. FrobclV
opinion is that if Congress passes
the bill this session, thereby afford
ing the company abundant means
to push the work forward, that it
may be completed in two years.
The important question now is,
what is the prospect of success?
Tlie bill is now upon its third
reading and has been referred to
the Committee on Commerce, who
are waiting the report of Col. Mc-
Farland, the engineer appointed
by (lie War Depart maw t to super
intend this survey. That report
is now about ready and we are
informed it will be as favorable as
the most sanguine friends of the
enterprise could expect. As soon
as this report is presented, the
committees appointed by the cities
of Atlanta, Macon, Savannah,
Rome, and other cities, and the
delegates appointed by the State
Agricultural Convention, will pro
ceed immediately to Washington
and go before the Committee
The Secretary of War lias given
assurances that Ms influence will
be exerted in behalf of the pro
*ct; numerous Setiet rs and Rep
resentatives from the West are
taking an active interest in its
behalf, and the President will in
terpose m* objection, but the com
pany expect Him hearty co-opera
tion. Col. Price, who is a mem
ber of the Company, feels confi
dent that no organized opposition
has yet been developed. Tlie
prospect Is bright, aud this great
enterprise which at first was re
garded by many as visouary, may
before the first of June become a
fixed certainty.
The agent of tire company left
our town last week securing tire
right of way on the line from this
point to Macon, which the people
are cheerfully giving. An agent
will soon be on the other end of
tire line.
Uovrubt —The admission of
Gen. Ransom, of North Carolina,

admission completes the representa

injured that they cannot possibly

been employed in it; the company
employed instead men who are
termed ‘ blacklegs” or non union

tected the military during the sus

\ Washington, May 2—Dispatches

| i lie following letter from Chief
Justice Chase is published to day :
Washington, D. C\, April 29,1872.
Dear Sir : My name, if we may
judge from newspapers, will not
be much considered at Cincinnati,
ahti I am quite content and none
the less grateful to iny It tends
who think it should be so, as you
know 1 have not sought or desired
nomination. If it were judged
the best means of Uniting the
greatest number of those opposed
to the administration on principle
it would doubtless be tny duty to
accept it. If any other man be f
preferred, I shall be entirely sat
isfied. What is essential with me
is that wbnt lias been gained of
freedom be seemed beyond perad
venture, that the currency be plac
ed on a sound basis, that real re
form be accomplished in taxation,'J
internal and external, and in per !
tect reconciliation of sections and 1
citizens. Your Parkersburg plat
form, us I remember it, evades
these views substantially, and 1
hope none contrary to it will be
adopted. Youra truly,
K. I’. Chase.

'I he coroner’s* inquest disclosed
the following particulars: It seems
that a negro woman living on the
plantation of Dr. Join R Mercer,
in this county, had some tune since
sworn a child to a negro man named
Orren Mercer, who had been placed
under a bend for its maintainince.
On Monday manning of last week,
this God-forsaken wretch went to the
cabin of the negro woman, which
contained only the child, some four
months old, and its uurse, a girl about
twelve years of age.
He used every means to induce
the girl to leave the house, asking
her to go out and get him some
fresh water, bnt she refused to do so,
stating that Lite mother ordered her
not to leave the chiid. He wished
to know if the child could drink
water, and being answered in the
negative, went to the cradle where
the Helpless being was lying and
spreading his coat ever both to
avoid observation pouied some kind
of mixture in its mouth ard imme
diately made off.
Tire girl, however, observed all of
his movements from a chair into
which she had dimed, and saw him
pour from a vial into the child’s
mouth.
Her testimony bfore the coroner’s
inxuest was direct and conclusive
and clearly established the gui.t of
the murderer. In a short time after
tlie position was administered tlie
child was taken with violent vomit
ing and died during tlie course of
t lie day.
Beiore death the entire scalp fell
off, and the whole face turned black
from tlie effect of the poison, which
was pronounced by the physician* in
attendance to be caustic potash.
1 lie n urderer was arrested on the
following day and lodged in the
county jail.
He will be tried at the next Supe
rior Court, which convenes on Mon
day next.
If any one ever deserved tlie gal
lows, it is most assuredly this miser
able wretch, who, to gratify a re
l vengeful -pite, couid thus inhumanly
j murder such a defenceless object, hi
| tact, the gallows is too good for him.
