MACON, OCTOBER 2 1871.
Ifewa Items.
The New Tons Market.—We thought Col.
Jones would have been able to impart some
backbone to the New York cotton market, but
it seems the bears got ahead of him.
Express Business.—The Mobile Register says
the Southern Express Company in that place
are handling immense quantities of freight for
the interior. We are glad to see trade lively in
Mobile.
Warm.—We had a warm day yesterday, but
a friend from Southwestern Georgia says never
so many warm days will not help cotton much
in that section. It has done its devoir and
that a poor one.
Wife Beatino.—In case of a negro on trial
before the District Court of Winnsborougb,
La., for beating bis wife, the Judge decided
that the old common law was in force in Louis
iana, which gave to the husband “the right of
moderately chastising his wife.”
Lawful Ku-klux of the United States.—
The Wilmington Star says Lowerey fired into
a Charlotte and Rutherford train on Saturday,
and on Monday Lowerey and his gang dined at
the house of A. McNeill, and paid for their din
ner by flourishing knives and pistols at the
family.
Can't be Found.—A Utah dispatch of Friday
says subpcenas have been issued to bring before
the Grand Jury Brigham Young and some four
teen of his wives, and George A. Smith, who
ranks next to Brigham Young in the Mormon
Church, but they have not yet been found. It
is strange that a man with so large a family
can’t be found.
We are glad to see from the World that the
Democratic administration of the Erie Canal is
showing important advances in freights and
receipts—912,213 tons freight up to 16th Sep
tember, against 632,395 for the same time last
year, and $1,927,672 toll receipts, against $1,-
661,812 last year. At the same time the expense
of working the canal has been reduced nearly
forty per cent., or $491,389 against $803,646.
Now Quit It.—The New Orleans Picayune
which, we verily believe, started the Agassiz
tidal wave story, has got another fright up at
the expense of a column. Thistimeit isEncke’s
Comet, which, on the night of October 6th at
11 o’clock and 41 minutes precisely, is going to
hit the earth somewhere between the Indian
Ocean and the Himmalaya Mountains, and the
concussion, in conjunction with the joint at
traction of the sun and moon, is going to raise
the great tidal wave. If the Ficaynne does not
quit this panic making he will catch a shock or
concussion from a hundred broomsticks, each
one harder than a comet’s tail.
Aefaibs in Washington.—The Washington
correspondent of the World says every depart
ment of the Government there is in the most
admirable disorder, growing out of the absence
Of mo3t of the functionaries from Cabinet offi
cers down to the youngest clerks, all election-
erring, log-rolling, attending conventions and
laying wires for Grant’s renomination. Claim-
agents, pensioners, attorneys, members of Con
gress, and all who have any other business in
hand, except the renomination, come to Wash
ington, look about, find it impossible to get any
thing attended to, and go away using profane
language.
The Visible Suppply of cotton shown by the
Commercial and Financial Chroniole last Fri
day, was 1,693,915 against 1,317,104 bales at the
corresponding date last year. Excess, 376,811
bales, as compared with 1870. The receipts of
last week at the interior ports as compared with
the corresponding week of last year were as
follows: Augnsta, 1,353—3,669. Columbus,
473—1,893. Macon, 407—3,442. Montgomery,
1,093—2,153. Selma, 1,050—1,481. Memphis,
1,756—1,085. Nashville, 191—136. Total,
C,313 bales against 13,859 last year—or 7,546
bales less. The total receipts as telegraphed
on Friday last, were 42,464 against 68,464 bales
last year.
The Nobth Oabolina Ku-klux.—Ten of the
North Carolina Ku-klux were sentenced by
Judge Bond, of Raleigh, last Friday, as follows,
the prisoners being called separately and in
the order given: R. A. Shotwell, six years’ im
prisonment, with hard labor, and a fine of
$5,000; Alexander Defriest, two years and
$500; Ames Evans, six years and $5,000;
George Holland, two years and $500; William
McIntyre, two years and $500; William Teal,
three years and $500; David Collins, four
years and $500; William Scruggs, three years
and $500; Spencer M. Moore and D. H. For
tune, six months’ imprisonment each. •
Was the Fibst Man White oh Colobed?—
We are indebted to the Montgomery Advertiser
for an Ethiopian prelection showing that Father
Adam wa3 created black originally, and how he
came to take on a paler color. It is a curious
fact that the speculations of the “scientists”
are taking a shape not so widely divergent as
they might be from those of the African brother.
In the last number of Scribner the reader will
find a long and learned attempt to reconcile
geological and ethnological discoveries, facts
and speculations with the Mosaio account of the
creation of man. The write; contends that the
creation recorded In Genesis was the creation
of the last and most improved species of the
human raoe—the Adamio or Caucasian, and
that the African and Mongolian races had pre
existed for an indefinite period. His exposition
of the Scriptures in connection with this theory
is ingenious and suggestive, and the ethnologi
cal difficulties he presents in the way of the
common theory and interpretation are at least
puzzling. If he is right, then the African
brother was not wrong, at least In the idea that
black was the first oolor of the human species.
Radical Conventions.—The Radicals hold
their State Conventions in New York and Mas
sachusetts to-day. In the Empire State, at
Syracuse, a lively fight between iho Fenton-
Greeley and the Grant-Murphy factions is an
ticipated, but Greeley will be whipped out In
Massachusetts, Ben. Butler is to show fight for
a nomination for Governor, but Butler, they
say, is whipped already in the election for dele
gates to the Convention and the only question
is whether he will submit to the fiat of the Con
vention, or pleading ill usage run against its
nominee. The Massachusetts Convention, like
the Legislature, or * ‘General Court” as it is there
termed, is not a s mall body. It numbers over
a thousand delegates, and a fierce struggle is
anticipated. But for the fact that the great
Tammany explosion in New York has by its dis
closure of rank frauds more or less paralyzed
the Democracy of New York and the Union, the
situation would be encouraging. It is true the
National Democracy hold no respomibility
whatever for the Tammany frauds, but it is
nevertheless true they have brought a terrible
stigma on the Democratic name. It will not
do for Democrats to steal. Nothing better is
expected of the radicals; bnt the thunder of
Democratic reprobation is hushed and silenced
by the exposures of Tammany. It cannot
ring and reverberate in such slougby chambers.
Otbtebs.—The Montgomery Advertiser says
that city is flooded with oysters. We presume
they are out of the shell.
The same paper prediots that com will go up
and Baoon go down.
Ohio.—The New Orleans Picayune, of Sat
urday, says:
It seems to be considered as probable that the
Radicals will elect their Governor in Ohio, bnt
that the Legislature will be Bemocratio, thus
securing a Democratic successor to Senator
Sherman. Mr. Groesbeck appears to be the
favored man.
Texas.—The Democrats seem to be running
a very heavy schedule in Texas. In Galveston
they held a mass meeting on the 19th, at which
it is estimated ten thousand people were pres
ent. No doubt the State will go Democratic by
a large majority, bnt whether it will connt out
so is more than doubtful. The election law is
enacted expressly for swindling. The polls are
kept open five days, and then the lists are sent
up to the Secretary of State at Austin to be re
tinkered. This interesting process called an
election begins next Tuesday, but we are unable
to say when it will end.
The Butler Campaign.—This edition of the
Teleguaph will doubtless tell ns something
about the great “Bold Ben Butler Fight” in
Massachusetts. Our last represented Ben as
holding 432 out of 1,061 votes of the delegates
elect to the Springfield Convention. But that
makes him far the strongest individual candi
date beforo that body, and undoubtedly the
dispatch emanates from anti-Bntler sources. It
is a fact significant of bad taste and low morals
that Butler appears to be by far the most popu
lar man in the State of Massachusetts. The
State is fairly aflame in the grand quarrel.—
Campaign songs, handbills, caitoons and carri-
catures of all sorts are thick as autumn leaves.
A Boston dispatch of Snnday night, in the
Herald, claims a majority of delegates for But
ler, and prints the following general order to
delegates:
Our enemies, and the enemies of good gov
ernment and the people, presuming upon the
force of money, have threatened through, their
journals to prolong the sitting of the Conven
tion, in hopes to tire ont good men and weary
them in well doing. Let every Butler delegate
go to the Convention with three day’s rations,
and by that time our supplies will come up. By
order of the Butler Committee.
The Convention met yesterday, and wo shall
at least have a note of progress to-day. The
quarrel is a pretty one as it stands, and we hope
will result in a general explosion.
The Final Explosion at Hvt.t. Gate.—As the
reader is aware, U. S. engineers are engaged in
deepening the passage between Long Island
Sound and the Hudson river, called “Hell
Gate,” which is now obstructed by a great
ledge of quartz rock about 800 feet wide, and
300 feet into the river. When this is removed
and a channel affording twenty-fire or thirty
feet of water is obtained, it is supposed that
most of the foreign trade of New York will
enter and leave that port by way of Hell Gate
and the Sound, instead of Sandy Hook.
The plan now in progress for the removal of
this great ledge is a daring and efficient one.
Fits have been sunk near the margin of the
river to the depth of thirty-two feet below its
bed. From the bottom of these pits wide gal
leries are drilled and blasted ont directly under
the ledge, and leaving only enough of it to form
a roof. When these shall have orossed the
ledge, transverse passages will be drilled and
blasted, leaving the roof to bo supported by pil
lars left at intersections. The Grand Finale
was thus explained by General Newton, who is
the engineer in charge, to a party of officers
who visited the work last Saturday and were
stunned by a grand feu de joie of nitro-glyce-
rene explosions let off at the time. Said Gen.
Newton:
“What will the noise be when, after we have
excavated the entire distance, cut all the cross
sections, reduced all the columns to the mini
mum size, we blow the whole three acres of rook
up at the same moment?” The General hero
explained that when the pillars had been re
duced to tbe smallest possible size consistent
with safety they would be bored or “honey-
corned,” and the apertures filled with, nitro-gly-
cerine. These would be all connected with elec
tric wires; the water will be let into ail the pas
sages and cover everything completely; then
the battery will fire the whole mass at the same
instant and the entire mass of rock, now an ob
struction to the oommerce of the city of New
York, will sink down into the alleys ent beneath,
and a splendid navigable passage will be left
for the shipping. “We have now been a little
over two yearn,” said the General, “but if Con
gress wouldonly let ns have the necessary mon
ey to carry it ont as a private exterprise would
be conducted, we should soon have the passage
cleared and this fearful obstruction sank down
out of all danger.”
Atlanta Gossip.
A bnsy little bird who hops about Atlanta
very industriously, picking up the crumbs of
freshest, fattest gossip that fall from the various
political tables in tbat city, was down this way
the other day, and while here perched himself
ou our desk and chirped of many things.
First, he informed ns that certain Democratic
politicians—principally of the small fry order—
were busy “fixing” up “slates” and making com
binations to divide ont the various offices to be
disposed of when the Legislature meets. In
fact the little bird gave us to understand—being
a bird of immense credulity—that it was “all
settled, sir,” and nothing remained but for the
honorable Senators and Representatives to meet
and ratify it. We are not yet exactly prepared
to tell all we learned from the little chirper, bnt
we may do so between this date and the first
day of November.
If wa know anything of publio sentiment,
however, we may set down some of these little
games as already coppered. They won’t begin
to work, and there ia an overlasting smash
awaiting some of the slates. The people are
going to make snch combinations as will innre
to their interests, and not to the paltry, sordid
greeds of trumpery politicians and blatherskite
demagogues. If a resolute and thoroughly in
earnest public sentiment can keep the Legisla
ture rigidly in the right track, that body will do
the people’s work as well as may be, not the
work of a few men whoso ambition and office-
hunger are in inverse ratio both to their deserts
and capacity.
Gentlemen “log-rollers!”—be sure and keep
yonr lines of retreat well open, and especially
have more than one string to yonr bows, or we
greatly foar you will be laid out as cold as a
wedge, and “flat broke” besides.
Judge Reese, of Wilkes, for Presi
dent of tbe Senate.
We are rejoiced to see the press of Georgia
almost, if not quite, unanimous in favor of
Judge William Reese for President of tbe Sen
ate. This is always an important office, bnt at
this time is likely to be much more important,
from the probability that on the President of
tbe Senate will devolve the duties of the State
Executive for the next two years, for we verily
believe the next Legislature, in spite of all the
pleadings of Bullock’s proclamation editors,
will do themselves the honor of impeaching the
present incumbrance. We know Judge Beese
is a modest man, but surely his modesty will
net justify him bi refusing a position to which
the united voice of the people have called him.
If Judge Beese is called from the eastempart
of the State to preside over the Senate, it will
be every way proper to take the Speaker of the
House from tho western, if there is in that sec
tion a member every way qualified for the of
fice. Happily we have the very man needed, in
Smith, of Muscogee. No better man than he
can be found. He is emphatically the right
man in the right place. Let him be elected
Speaker and all the people will say amen.
We find the above in the Federal Union, of
Tuesday. The Union is in error as to the ex
piration of Bollock’s term of office, and there*
fore as to the period of occupancy of tho Exec
utive Chair by his successor in case of his im
peachment by the Legislature. His term of
office rightfully expires on the 4th of July, 1872,
he having been inaugurated July 4th, 1868, bat
the election for his successor does not occur
until the November following, under the law aB
it now stands, and consequently no will be Gov
ernor until that time. If, therefore,heisremoved
by impeachment, bis successor, tho President
of the Senate, will only hold possession of the
GnbernatorisI chair for one, instead of two
years.
As to whether there are entirely tenable
grounds upon which to base impeachment—not
a mere attempt thereat—we do not know posi-
itively. We have neardthat some very thought
ful, earnest Democrats—men of much repute
and weight in the counsels of the party—think
that sufficient evidence to convict has not, as
pet, been developed, bnt that there is a strong
probability that a searching, honest investiga
tion of the State Road, State bonds and other
matters connected with the administration of
State affairs for the past four years, would pnt
the question beyond peradventore. The sound
ness of that opinion, of coarse, is to be tested
by actual investigation.
One thing, however, seems very clear to onr
mind: That an impeachment without the clear
est and most impregnable proof of guilt on the
part of the person whose conviction is sought,
would be worse than a crime. It would be a
blunder of the hugest proportions and most
dangerous character, which could not fail to
react most disastrously upon the Democracy not
only of this, bnt other States. If the Legisla
ture should determine to impeach Bollock, let it
feel and know, as did the old woman who had
actually buried her husband, that it has “a dead
sure thing.”
Upon the general question of the entire
fitness of the gentlemen named by the Fed
eral Union fox the respective offices of President
of the Senate and Speaker of the House, we
do not feel called on to express any opinion be
yond adding onr endorsement of the good words
spoken by onr contemporary. If their fellow-
members see fit thus to honor the gentlemen
named, we shall feel entirely satisfied that they
have made wise selections, and that results will
most convinoingly demonstrate that fact. Bnt
the Telegraph and Messenger has so special
candidates for either position. Its motto is:
May the best men win—and its pledge is to
support them in all their endeavors to advance
the interests and promote the welfare of Geor
gia and her people.
Foolish ana Mischievous Programme
A correspondent of the Atlanta Daily San
signing himself “Titus” whom that paper un
derwrites as “one of the first men in Georgia,”
lays ont a programme for the approaching ses
sion of the Legislature, some part of which we
do not except to, bnt we hope and trust no man
in the Legislature will be controlled by the fol
lowing suggestion:
2. As a matter of principle, we will not take
into consideration the question of eligibility.
We believe the people of Georgia are pretty well
united in their endorsement of Mr. Stephens’
programme, which is to insist upon all of onr
constitutional rights. We have electedSenators,
and they have been wrongfully and unconstitu
tionally rejeoted. .To send those who have been
made eligible—merely because they are eligible
—would be begging the question; and an ad
mission that Congress has the right to make
eligible or ineligible onr Representatives and
Senators. It would be a “departure.” It would
be “acquiescing in and accepting” tbe fraudu
lent and illegal rulings of Congress. Let us be
consistent in all things.
We should think the fate of North Carolina
and Zebnlon B. Yance would be soffioient illus
tration of the folly and impracticability of the
course recommended. The Democrats of Geor
gia owe it to themselves and the country to se
lect a good and safe man for the Senate of tho
United States, possessing the qualifications for
a seat in that body.
Georgia News from Washington.
The Savannah Advertiser, of Tuesday, prints
the following among its Washington specials of
the day before:
Gray of Boston, Freeman of Griffin, Webster
of Columbus, Bell of Americas, and Gove, ex-
Congressman, are applicants for the Collector-
ship of the Second District.
A complete report of the indebtedness of the
Central Railroad and Banking Company to the
government in the matter of tax on net earn
ings from 1866 to 1870 inclusive, will be laid
before the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
to-morrow. The claim foots up $152,000, ex
clusive of penalties. As soon as these papers
are filed and examined, instructions will be
issued to the District Attorney to proceed
against the road.
One of those prominent “Skowheganite” car
pet baggers who infest the third Georgia Dis
trict, to prove his great love for the negro, has
been trying to have Belcher ousted and himself
appointed oollector.
Alberger, of Florida, is here, making war on
Krzyzanowski, with a view to securing his place,
with doubtful success.
Some of *‘Planchette’s’’ Little Games.—The
Western papers give tho details of the latest
doings of that pesky humbug “Planchette, ”
winch may serve to point a moral if not adorn
a tale. It seems that a foolish yonng woman
whose name is nowRtha Adams, which it was
not a fow days ago, and probably will not be in
a short time to come, recently married a yonng
Connecticut farmer named Adaws, and with him
set out on a wedding tour from Norwalk, intend
ing to go to Cleveland, Ohio, and thence by the
lakes to Chicago. On the steamer she became
acquainted with a yonng New Yorker giving his
namo as George D. Bankin, and with him she
played at revelations through “planchette."
“Planchette” told her that George was her
soul’s husband, with whom alone she should live,
and so, when the boat tonebed at Mil waukee, tbe
precious pair eloped—the lady having obtained
herhusband’spocketbook, containing somewhat
less than a tho a sand dollars. They made the
best of their way to Quincy, where Rankin got
the woman to give him the parse and a valuable
diamond ring. Then he eloped alone, leaving
the following heartless note behind him, which
is about as contemptible a piece of villainy as
has been heard of for a long time:
Deab Girl : I am called suddenly away from
yon. Return to your “hubby” at Elgin until I
call for you. An revoir. George. *
The poor, foolish woman went to Kansas City
without baggage or money, concerning the loss
of which “planchette” had said nothing.
The Opinion Regarding Cotton.—A. F. Wat
son, a prominent commission merchant in Mo
bile, writes to the Selma Times that in his opin
ion the cotton orop of 1871-2 will not amount to
more than 2,500,000 bales. He thinks the Bu
reau reports of large crops will do good, as the
Northern and English spinners, believing them,
will go on consuming the stooks they have on
hand and those in Liverpool and other large
ports in which the planter has no interest; and
later in the fall, when the condition of the yield
will be almost exactly known, their demand
will cause prices to spring upward. Tho farm
ers then will receive the benefit.
This opinion, from the Southern stand-point,
appears a very correot one. The Montgomery
AdveHiser tells of a boll in that city who was
weeping bo as to be inoontrollable, because he
saw no chano* of cotton going higher than sixty
cents per pound.
Hon. D. W. Yoobhkes.—We learn that this
distinguished gentleman, one of the most elo
quent orators in the country, was, on Saturday
last,selected by the Demosthenian Society of the
University of Georgia, to deliver the annual
address before the two literary societies of that
institution, at the oommenoement next August.
We do not know that Mr. Yoorhees will aooept,
but earnestly trust he will. We can promise
him, in advance, a Highland welcome if he con
sents to make Georgia a visit.
At the same time, Hon. Joel A. Billups, of
Madison, and Samuel Hall, Esq., of this city,
were elected-first and second alternates, respec
tively—both admirable selections.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
The remains of the sixty-seven Confederate
soldiers which arrived at Savannah, from Get
tysburg, on Friday, were buried in Laurel
Grove on Sunday, with the most imposing cere
monies. A procession was formed at the Ex
change composed of ox-Confederate soldiers,
police, citizens and ladies, and three rounds of
musketry as well as minute guns were fired at
the grave. The Beva. T. O. Stanley and Don-
lop conducted the religious services.
Mr. George C. Band, jr., of Savannah, was
married at West Chester Park, Mas3., last
Thursday, to Miss Genie L. Blanchard, of the
latter place.
Dr. Landrum preached his farewell sermon
at the Savannah Baptist Church on Sunday
morning, and left for Memphis, Monday night.
The editor of tho Atlanta Era is nothing if
not critical. His last shot is as follows. Time 1
Willingham:
Here is a remarkably sharp thing from the
LaGrange Bepoxtex:
“The Cartersville Express spells it ‘redicu-
lous.’ If some smart lexicographer could get
up a dictionary for the special use of some of
our Georgia editors who don’t care how they
spell, it would, perhaps be a great convenience
to them.”
The Reporter, speaking of a LaGrange lady,
says: “Shei3an alumni of the Sonthem Fe
male College.” If some smart classical scholar
would get up a Latin grammar for some of our
Georgia editors who don’tunderstand the ancient
languages, it would, perhaps, be a great con
venience to them.
The Atlanta locals say the musqnitoes are in
tolerable up at that famous “summer resort.”
Now, wo can account for our missing stock.
The following is a sample of Atlanta locals.
We qnote from the Constitution, of yesterday:
Query.—What lawyer and doctor got turned
round so completely a few nights ago that they
mistook the back door for tbe front one ? And
who had to bny a a new snit of clothes the next
morning?
That celebrated bogus money deteotive,
“Wogans,” Wimpey, has settled in Atlanta to
practice law. Why isn’t he employed as extra
connsel in the State Road cases, we should like
to know?
The Era complains that fast driving is get
ting to be a “great nuisance” in Atlanta.
An Atlanta excursion party purpose honoring
Macon with their presence, on Friday.
The Era thinks it a “disgusting sight” to see
white and negro women chained together, and
working in the chain-gang on the streets. There
are a great many more disgosting sights than
that np there. But what does this trewly loyl
sheet mean by such a slam at the doctrine of
equality “ without distinction of race and
oolor?”
Madison is to have a “Silver Comet” Band.
Pity the sorrows of the Madisonians!
Mr. John A. Shields, a well-known citizen,
died near Madison, last Friday night.
Walter Hill, Esq., of this city, was admitted
to tho bar, at Talbot Superior Court, last week,
on his diploma as a graduate of the University
law school, at Athens.
The patent air brake bas been adopted on tbe
Western and Atlantio Railroad, and hereafter it
will be attached to all passenger trains.
Says the Constitution, of yesterday:
Preliminary Examination.—We learn that
John Hill, Frederick Patrick, W. K. Thomas,
Melvin Kennedy, and A. J. Wages, who were
brought to this city Saturday evening from
Gwinnett county, will have a hearing this morn
ing before United States Commissioner (7. B.
Smith. We could not ascertain what the charges
against them were. Some say they are charged
with Ku-klnxism; others that it is illicit distil
lation.
The Griffin Star, of yesterday, says:
. On Saturday night the np passenger train
came very near xnnning over a negro, who was
lying beside tbe track near Thornton’s station.
The cow-catcher picked np his coat, which was
on the track. On Sunday some negroes picked
him up a short distance this side, and he was
brought to the city on Sunday night and taken
charge of by the proper authorities. There was
no sign of a hurt on him, though he appeared
to be perfectly helpless, and had to be lifted
from the cars. He is doubtless crazy.
Letters for Jacob Klooh, and Mrs. M. J. Ban
dy, Macon, are held for postage in the Savannah
office.
When Savannah ladies whose families are
suffering from fever remonstrate against so-
called serenades at a late hour of the night, ye
gentle minstrels tell them “to draw in their
mugs, and stop np their hearers.”
The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Tuesday, says
it has been informed that the Baptists of Augnsta
have purchased a large lot on Telfair street, for
the purpose of building thereon a theological
seminary at a cost of $25,000 or $30,000.
Three wild cats were captured in Buffalo
Swamp, Washington county, last week.
Mr. Wm. Bolineau, of Washington county,
died last Sunday, of heart disease.
Rev. T. J. Gumming has resigned the pas
torate of the Baptist church, at Sandersville,
and is succeeded by Rev. E. C. Thomas.
The Sandersville Georgian prints a synopsis
of the testimony taken in the Carr-Grantiand
case before Judge Twiggs last week, which
trial, as has been already announced, resulted
in a verdict of justifiable homicide. We quote
as follows:
Dr. George D. Case, of Milledgeville, was pnt
upon the stand. We deem it "unnecessary to
give the Doctor's testimony in detail, as to lo
cation of wound, condition of body when
opened, etc., and shall give only the portion
upon which the proseention relied. It fell to
Dr. Case’s lot to open the body and make the
examination, five other physicians assisting.
It was his opinion that from the natnre and
size of the wound, the ball passing through the
middle lobe of right long, the anterior wall of
the right auricle of the heart and through the
anterior part of the upper lobe of left lung,
death must have ensued almost instantly. This
was simply his opinion. Deceased might havo
lived half a minute, and if at the time of re
ceiving the wound he was running, he might have
ran five or six steps—as far as a man conld run
in half a minute—but would think he would
have fallen very soon. Had he fallen in his
tracks did not think he could have risen again.
The Doctor believed the person shooting fired
from the rear, slightly obliquely. Conld not
say what the position of deceased might have
been a moment before; he might have wheeled
suddenly. The Doctor admitted that from read
ing authorities, since the examination in Mfl-
ledgeville, his mind had somewhat changed.
There were cases upon record where persons
had been wounded m the heart and lived for
days, some for years; but none where the
wound was of the size of this and through the
anricle of the heart.
The defenoe having admitted the identity of
the body, the next important witness was Mrs.
Wadsworth. Bhe was at Dr. Carr’s the day of
the killing. Asked Dr. O. to send her home.
Told her he would after breakfast. Got ready
and Dr. O. not appearing, sbe went into the
hall and met him. Told her that Seaton bad
made a fuss about the buggy and she was at an
end. Asked her if she would ride in an ambu
lance. She would if safe. The Doctor went
ont at tho gate. Mr. Grantland came ont of
Mrs. G.’s room, appeared to be in a hurry.
Said he would see her safo home. Told Mrs.
Carr he would famish buggy if she would fur
nish tbe mules. He went ont at galo and in the
same direction Dr. O. had gone. Dr. O. came
back and went into his room, staid about a min
ute and came out. Said I would be carried
home safely, that Seaton had taken the matter
in hand. Walked with hi3 gon by his side, his
hand upon it. Think gun was not cocked. As
he got about the bottom step he said, you are
going to shoot me, eh ? throwed up ms gun
and fired. Did not near Grantland answer.
Could not see him at the time. Saw him run
ont at the gate after he was shot Had a pistol
in one hand and his hand upon bis breast. She
went to where Mr. Grantland was lying; saw
pistol about four feet from him. The defence
introduced three of the servants who testified
very clearly for people of their class. The man
testified that he was at the carriage house pre
preparing to hitch the mules to the ambulance as
direoted by Dr. Carr. Mr. Grantland came and
ordered the buggy instead. Wasexcited. Had on
a pistol. Dr. O. said nothing bnt went off toward
house. After he was gone & short time, Grant-
land said, I’ll kill the damned son-of-a-bitch.
Drew his pistol and went toward house. After
a short time heard report of gun and ball strike
tree. Saw Grantland mnaing and saw him falL
Another servant, a woman, testified that as she
was passing around the house she saw Mr. G. ap
proaching rapidly with pistol drawn and cooked.
She was afraid to pass and stopped. Mr. G. did
not seem to see her, but was looking at some
thing before him, She looked under the house
(the house is high off the ground) and saw Dr.
Carr coming down steps. He ran down tbe bot
tom steps, throwed nphis gun and fired. Grant-
land ran out at the gate some distance and fell.
Dr. Carr walked ont the way Mr. G. ran, came
back and afterwards went to him. Bose, another
woman; testified that she went to and conversed
with Mr. G., bathed his face and hands, held
umbella over him and stayed with him until he
died. The servants also testified to Bending for
physioians and other matters of minor impor
tance. Dr. Mathis found the deceased dead. The
Dr. described wonnds, etc., found pistol near
by cooked. ’Twas full of dirt, as if it had
been dropped. It was also developed in the
trial that Mr. Grantland had threatened Dr.
Carr’s life before. But we desist. The “start
ling developments” to be made were that
the facts were at variance with science. Mr.
Grantland did ran sixty or seventy yards after
he was shot, lived from 30 to 60 minutes, spoke
and made four attempts to rise, as was proven
beyond doubt.
Only 269 persons have registered for the No
vember municipal election in Augusta, of which
number only a very small population are ne
groes.
It rained so at Savannah, on Monday, that
the Democrats didn’t hold their open-air meet
ing to nominate municipal officers.
Mr. Jas. Bussell, whose mysterious disappear
ance from Savannah, wa noticed yesterday, has
turned up all right.
Patnam Superior Court was in session last
week. Several negroes were found guilty of as
sault with intent to murder on the day of the
election riot in August, but the Jadge has not yet
sentenced them.
Speaking of the Democratic success at the
election for Tax Collector in Baldwin county,
last week, the Federal Union, of Tuesday, says:
This election satisfies us that a very large
number of the colored voters have broken down
the power of the anion league here, which was
ran by two or three colored men for their own
interests only, and that of some scalawags who
wish to use the colored men to enable them to
get office.
The same paper tells the following anecdote:
In the city of Maoon, some time in April
last, that able and meritoriously popular min
ister of the Baptist denomination, Bev. E. W.
Warren, in company with Mr. Walt Hollings
worth, whose cheerful and pleasant counte
nance reflected its sparkling beams upon his
companion and Major Bill Napier, whom they
met. After an exchange of the ordinary salu
tation of the day, Mr. Warren remarked to
Major Napier that he never saw him at his
church, but says he, “I need not have said that
for I have heard that you only go to hear such
big preachers as the great and good Bishop
Pierce,”to which the Major replied: “You
know that I appreciate your rare virtues as a
gentleman, and the whole State concedes your
great worth as an expounder of the Divine
law, bnt there is this difference between ns,
that whilst we both want to go to heaven, I go
by land and you by water.
Mr. B. G. Stern, a well known merchant of
Columbus, died last Saturday night, aged sixty
years.
The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Tuesday, in
au article headed “Reform the Judioiary” ar
gues that the Legislature must necessarily take
into early and serious consideration the present
condition of our State Judiciary, and more es
pecially the Circuit Courts. It thinks that there
are twice as many circuits as are necessary for
the business of the country, and that instead of
nineteen cironits there should be only ten, and
that to secure the best legal talent the salaries
should be fixed at $4,000 instead of $2,500 as
now. As there are now nineteen judges at
$2,500 each, making $47,4100 aggregate, the
change would result in a saving to tbe State of
$7,500.
We quote the following from the Atlanta Con
stitution, of yesterday:
Abbest of a Murderer.—Yesterday Captain
Skiles, United States deteotive, arrested in this
city a man named Edward Hilton, charged with
killing a Mr. Burks, proprietor of tbe Shelby-
ville (Tenn.) Hotel on the 28ti» of January,
1861. Hilton, we learn, had been going under
an assumed name here. Captain Skiles left
with the prisoner last night for Tennessee.
Committed.—Yesterday John Hill, Frederick
Patrick, W. K. Thomas, Melvin Kennedy and
A. J. Wages, of Gwinnett county, had a hear
ing before United States Commissioner, W. B.
Smith, on a charge of conspiring with others,
and going to a Mr. Chambers, in Gwinnett coun
ty, and whipping two colored persons. They
were allowed to give bond in the sum of $1,000
each, bnt owing to the court refusing to accept
parties who signed by power of attorney, they
were committed to jail. From wbat we can
gather it is no Ku-klux case, and the reward of
fered by the Governor in such cases had more
to dc> with their arrest than anything else.
We get the following items from the Monroe
Advertiser of Tuesday:
Griffin and Madison Railroad.—It is as
serted, by parties in position to know whereof
they affirm, that the road from Griffin as far as
Indian Spring is ready for contract. The align
ment is unexpectedly good. There is no very
heavy work. It is nearly straight, which is
something to the credit of the corps of engineers,
considering that Batts connty is reputed very
justly one of tho most broken counties in Mid
dle Georgia. The Directors are evidently bent
on completing the twenty miles neeeBsary to
secure State aid before the Legislature assem
bles in November.
Cotton.—Opinions, differ widely as to the
orop, compared with last year, all the way from
one-fourth to three-fourths. The estimate we
made a few weeks sinoe, of a half orop, we are
satisfied will not come very wide of the mark.
The Empire Warehouse received 445 bales last
year, up to September 26th, against 115 bales
to the same date this season.
A Dangerous Character.—Mr. Y. T. Laseter
informs us that Green Mayfield, alias McGee,
a desperate negro whose haunts are in the upper
portion of this county and the lower part of
Butts, has somewhat changed his programme,
from hog and poultry stealing to house breaking.
Mr. Laseter met him in the road near his resi
dence last night, when the outlaw shot at him
several times. Mr. L. returned the fire, and
the negro escaped in a dense wood.
Bats of Taxation.—We alluded in our last
issue to the probable rate of taxation in this
county for the current year. It is now evident
that the authorities intend to oreate another
‘ ‘sinking” fund. The official order calls for two
hundred and fifty per cent on tbe State tax; or
in other words, $10 on tbe $1,000. Tho State
tax is 40 cents on the $100. Thus it will be
seen the tax payers of the county have to ante
to the tune of $14 on the $1,000.
Tbe Cotton Prospects.
A Mobile cotton faotor writes the Tribune of
that city as follows:
There is no reason to apprehend a permanent
deoline In cotton this season. There is no
well informed man in the Sonth who does not'
know that the incoming crop wilt fall from
twelve to fifteen hundred thousand bales short
of that of last season, which amounted to 4,-
352,000 bales. We have seen that it has nearly
all been consumed, and there isnowa very light
stock of manufactured goods on the markets of
the world. With money at low rates in Europe
and New York, a general peace prevailing, and
the increase of over five millions of spindles in
operation, is it extravagant to say cotton will
command twenty-five oents or more beforo the
season doses ?
Now, I repeat, if planters will ship only enough
to meet their engagements with faotors who
have aided them to make their orops—and will
withhold the remainder from market—they will
obtain remunerative prices, sufficient to make
up for tbe short orop. By thiB means they will
realize the advance which must take place, in
stead of speculators.
A nurse girl serving in the family of a wealthy
squatter in Australia has suddenly stepped into
a title and a property of .£40,000, under the
name of Lady Elizabeth Morton. The Fall
Mall Gazette says that this romance in real life
should make people more considerate in their
conduct toward their servants.
