raing at the City Hall before Jndgcs Grannies
id Schofield—It. W. Stubbs, Esq., appearing for
be prosecution, and Messrs. Hunter & Hisbet for
be .prisoner. II. M. Green, Esq , acted as clerk
or the Court. Thera were seven witnesses sworn
•focr for the State and three for the defence, and
heir testimony was rather voluminous and some-
tat conflicting in regard to tho important point
B to which of the parties—the prisoner or deceas-
li-bronsbton the fight.
Celia Chisolm, wife of deceased, was tho first
fitness aworn. She stated, substantially, that the
»* named about a die or dice which a negro
«®*n named Sindv llohertson had borrowed from
’oa Stephens, and which a negro named Harrison
td borrowed from her and refused to return.—
sly asked Hunison a time or two for tho dice,
*•1 on his refu'ing to give them to her. she snatch-
dlu hat and threw it into tho street. After which
lewent to her room in a house in the yard, where
t* Idling took place. Soon afterward Paul went
her room to got Harrison’s hat, and in a little
Harrison entered in a threatening manner as
** **• going to strike Sindy. Paul intorferred,
kfcttg that he would pay for the hat, but he should
twitrile tho woman. Stephens, who had followed
Jarristii to Sindy Vs room, was eta’, ding at the door,
-I toldHsriison to make Sindy get his hat or
|kp her. Chisolm then asked Stephens if ho was
-tereeted in that fuss, to which Stephens replied
tot he was. whereupon Chisolm, as threo witnesses
““ted, drew his kniro and ran up to Stephens and
®*d him by ths collar with his left band, and
his knife in a threatening manner. Slepb-
91 gave back, and the two got into tho yard, and
to n«t thing was tho entrance of Stephens into
®Mj’n room with a brick in his band, expressing
^ determination to kill her, too, as the origina-
l ®ef ths fuss. Stephens then told those present
titlha had badly cut Chisolm, and that he was ly-

°®i to be true. Chisolm groaned onco or twice
he was taken into the house, and died with-

FHOJI WASHINGTON.
Special to Teletpraph and Jressengir.~\
WAsmsaTOjr, March 7.—There was a full House
to-day and much interest manifested.
Bingham opened the debate wih an able consti
tutional speech against the Georgia bill. He de
clared ho would not support the measure. The
Legislature and Governor was for a free people by
act of Congress. Davis, of New York, supported
the bill in an intemperate harangue, abounding in
the grossest misstatements. He claimed that Con
gress still had power to legislate over Georgia. He
charged the people with infamy and bad faith in
seating unreconstructed rebels in the Legislature.
He termed tho explosion of the negroes a crime
against humanity and law, and said the negroes
were expelled for crime of color, and men steeped
to the lips in treason seated in their stead.—
Georgia thu3 relieved Congress from former acts of
admission, and must come in through the same
gato-way as other rebellious States. He eulogized
Bullock, and said had he chosen ho might have
struck hands with the rebels—with purse-proud ar
istocrats, who had lost their slaves; but God did
not movo him to do so. History will ennoble Bul-
lock’B name as one who obeyed the dictates of God
and law. Davis was frequently interrupted by
Farnsworth, Bingham and others, who endeavored
to correct his mis-statements, and propounded
questions. Davis was unable or unwilling to an
swer.
Butler called the previous question, insuring a
Tote to-morrow. The House then adjourned.

■WASnixoTON, March 8.—The Bingham amend
ment to the Georgia Bill provides that nothing in
this act contained shall be construed to vacate any
offices now filled in the State of Georgia, either by
election of the people, or by appointment of the
Governor thoreof, by and with the advice and con
sent of tho Senate of said State; neither shall this
act be construed to extend tho official time of any
officer of said State beyond tho time limited by tho
Constitution thereof, dating from the election or
appointment of such officer.; nor to deprive the
peoploof Georgia of the right, under tho Constitu
tion. to elect Senators and Representatives of \ho
State of Georgia in the year 1870, either on the
day named in the Constitution of said State, or
such other day as the present Legislature may des
ignate by law.

considered dnring tho morning hour, but Stewart
said a minority of tho committee dissented from
tho majority report, and desired to state their ob
jections at a proper time, and it thereupon went
over and was placed on tho callender.
The extremists hope to pass tho bill without
Bingham’s amendment; hut it is believed their
anxiety to have the State admitted, so the Fifteenth
Amendment proclamation can bo issued, will secure
the passage of the bill as received from the House.
Bullock and Butkr were on the Senate floor sev
eral hours, making a canvass and lobbying Sen
ators.

More Reconstruction.—There was a lively de
bate over the Georgia Reconstruction bill in the
House of Representatives yesterday. Ben But
ler spoke in its favor, and in the coarse of his
remarks alluded to Tennessee, and said that he
proposed to very soon bring the attention of the
House and country to that State, where hundreds
of men were being murdered weekly. Mr.
Farnsworth denounced tho Georgia bill as in
tended to prolong the tenure of office of those
representatives from that State who had served
in the previous Congress, and expressed tho
opinion that Congress had got itself far enough
in a muddle with its reconstruction legislation.
If there is one thing more than another that in-
clines ns to oppose any further meddling with

murder, robbery and desolation which will be
published in the radical newspapers as soon as
they are taken in hand. Let us re flect for a

The Cadetships —Bowen in a Tight. — A
Washington dispatch of the 8th in the Charles
ton News, says:
Gen. Elliott, of Philadelphia, testified before
the committee to-day, that hchad paid one thou
sand dollars cash for the cadetship from the se
cond Congressional district (Bowen's) of South
Carolina. The bargain, however, seems to have
been effected so cunningly that the witness
conld not say that Bowen had got the money.
Bat though the testimony fails, so far, on this
point, nobody has the slightest doubt of Bow
en’s guilt; and moro witnesses are to be exam
ined, by whom it is believed tho missing link in
the chain of evidence can be supplied. *

The Now York Ilerald says that a well-known
lady of Washington who dresses elegantly, gives
magnificent dinners and entertains charmingly,
now and then numbers a guest who remembers
very well (for it was not so very long ago) when
she presided at the counter of a large beer sa
loon in the interior of Pennsylvania.
In an English court of iaw lately, a fitness
was called to attest to a person’s insanity. “I
know he’s mad,” said the witness, “because
he imagines himself to be the prophet Jere
miah.” “Do you consider that to be a proof
of men’s derangement ?’’ asked the examining
counsel. “I should rather think so,” confi
dently replied the witness, “seeing that I my
self am the prophet Jeremiah.”
Weekly Review of the Market.
OFFICE TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER,»
March 9—Evening, 1870. )
Cotton—Receipts to-day 72 bales: sales 593; ship
ped 293.
Receipts for the week ending this evening, the
above included, 556 bales; sales for the same time
1576; shipments 1318—showing an increase of re
ceipts last week upon thoso of the week before of
40 bales; increase of sales 594.
Tho leading feature of the cotton market since
the date of our last weekly report has been tho
downward tendency of prices. They have fal
len off dming tho week just 2%c per pound. Not
withstanding this rapid and heavy decline in pricea
onr buyers have manifested from day to day a con
siderable amount of plnck, and there has been gen
erally a good demand at market rates.
The market opened quiet this morning atl8J^c,
but the usual noon dispatches knocked off the 4^
and there was tittle done until the evening reports
from New York were received, which brought the
glad tidings that for once in the last fortnight that
market had closed steady. It was responded to here
and our market closed steady and firm this eveniog
at 18@18j£c for middlings. Let ns hope that prices
have touched bottom at last.

the receipts and shipments of the two warehouses

Financial.—The money market is rather closer
than on the date of onr last weekly review. The
heavy declinein the prices of gold and cotton, par
ticularly tho latter, has made the banks a titt’o cau
tious. as it is clear that at present rates eomebody
is bound to lose heavily on cotton. However, tho
hanks are still discounting A1 paper, properly secur
ed, at quoted rates.
The operations in stocks and bonds are few and
far between, bnt prices remain remarkably steady
and firm. After carefully revoiwing our list of
prices, we find but ono or two slight changes to
make.
The prices of gold and stiver are very materially re
duced. The sales ot stiver for the last day or two
have been quite heavy, on account of the stiver
change which some of onr saloon keepers are pay
ing out. We quote:

Groceries and Provisions.—Since tho date of
onr last review, the general market has been dull
and unsettled. There has been tittle or nothing
done in the dry goods line, particularly in cotton
fabrics and prints, on account of the unsettled
state of tho New York market, and tho war that has
been waging among some of the dealers there. Onr
merchants havo not yet bought their spring stocks
of prints and on this account are very fortunate, as
at present New York prices they can certainly suffer
no loss on this class of goods. As yet but few new
goods have been received for tho spring trade, but
in a short while we may expect it to open with a
life and epirit almost unprecedented in the history
of this market.
The bnls of trade the last week has been confined
to the grocery and provision tine. Prices are a shade
lower for com and bacon than they were a week
ago, and it has been a matter of surprise to us that
they have kept up so well under the adverse reports
which have been received during the last fortnight
from the Western markets. The stocks of bacon
and com are now heavy in this city, hut the demand
is also heavy, and until a material decline takes
place in tho West,we may expect no material change
in prices of produce here. With these general re
marks wo give carefully revised quotations, as fol

Gold aud Greenbacks
It is one of the anomalies of the financial
situation that our merchants cannot forecast
the future premium on gold, and at a critical
period like the present, gold ranges in the
maiket some fifty per cent, below where it
stood five months ago. Hence the question is
anxiously heard on all sides, will the price go
lower, or will there be a reaction to a higher
point? The most conflicting arguments are
used on the opposing sides of the controversy.
Into these contests we do not need just now
to enter. It will better serve the present pur
pose to point out some things on which both
parties are agreed.
And, in the first place, it is on all sides con
ceded that there is a normal premium for gold
over greenbacks, if we could only discover it,
and that this normal or absolute price is the
point to which the market price o gold will
always tend. So soon as any disturbing forces
are removed, which cause temporary aberra
tions, this equilibrium wilt strive to re-estab
lish itself, and gold will rise or full to its proper
level.
Secondly, it is agreed that the ratio between
greenbacks and gold is governed by the lesser
or greater amount of depreciation of our paper
currency. And as depreciation means redun
dancy, it fol^ws that the range of the gold
premium is higher or lower according as the
volume of the currency is augmented, and
other things being equal, the price of gold rises
and falls according as the currentof toe circu
lating money is greater or lesser than is de
manded ibr the legitimate want3 of business
on a specie basis.
Thirdly, it is notorious that the volume of
the currency has received no decrease of such
a serious nature since September last as to
force a fall in gold of fifty, or even thirty or
twenty per cent. .
Fourthly, the cause of the fall in gold being
outside of the changes in the volume of the
currency, and greenback circulation remaining
now what it was when gold sold at twenty or
thirty per cent, above its present level, it fol
lows then that gold was much above its normal
level, or else that gold is now much below
that level.
It is at this stage of the argument that the
opposing parties separate. The bears think
gold is too high still, and that it tends by its
own weight to seek a lower point The bulls,
on the other hand, declare that temporary
causes have put the premium down, that the
Secretary of the Treasury has helped these de
pressing causes by forcing gold down on the
market when the market is already glutted
with it, and when there is, for the present, no
ready outlet. These vexed questions are bo
eagerly discussed as to throw an atmosphere
of uncertainty over the whole subject, and are
already rendering all parties less dogmatic and
less postive. We referred a few weeks ago to
some facts which may, perhaps, aid in solving
the gold problem. Theseiacts regard the in
creased supply of the precious metals, and
the effects of that increase in raising the nom
inal level of prices. Without going into a te
dious detail, it is enough to say that, although
prior to 1848 the average annual yield of the
precious metals had, for three hundred years,
been no more than twenty-one millions, the
amount since 1S4S had been ten times as
much, or over two hundred millions. Now a
large part of this gold crop of the world is ab
sorbed by the arts, but still it is fair to assume
that ten tiroes as much coin has been minted
dnring the last twenty years.
It is true that commercial transactions have
also multiplied for which a much larger sup
ply- of circulating money'Would be required.
But, on the other hand, thero has been a dis
placement of coin by paper'to an immense ex
tent; even in British India, and much more in
Franco and in this country. In view of the?e
tacts the question is raised whether we ought
not to expect that this vast increase in the
volume of tho specie currency would produce
some depreciation in its relative value. After
the discovery of America, in .1492, gold de
clined in value; why should not the new dis
covery of Australian and Californian gold
mines since 1848 produce % similar perturba
tion of values? Such is, in brief, the argu
ment, and the only reply seems to be that, if
it be true, it is brought about for us in a way
no human sagacity couid foresee; and if we
should arrive at specie payments by any such
way as is here suggested, we shall add another *
to the numerous illustrations of Mr. Madi
son's words to Miss Mariineau that Prow-
denoe seemed to have set the American peer
pie to do many things which had always beef-
tofore been held impossible.—Keto York Com

inducing calm and refreshing repose, without the
pernicious and distressing reactionary disturbance
of the nervous system that results from the exhibi

teething, ensuring rest to mothers and nurses anil
