generally exempt from all effects of the
panic, because they are nearly all destined
for special points in the interior, and
know just where they will join friends^or
gain employment, or invest in farms be
fore they start from Europe. Besides,
they are frugal, and bring out bond cou
pons or something that represents more
or less gold to each emigrant.”

Tardy Justice Jail Birds Ac
cumulating. jq j t
Last week in tho Randolph 'Superior
Court three colored criminals were sent
to tho penitentiary, and one of the num
ber, guilty of burglary in tbe most ag
gravated form, Judge Kiddoo very prop
erly sentenced for twenty years.
Seven other important criminals re
main in jail, whose - 'CaSes it ,wa3 impos
sible to reach. Now this is a very heavy
imposition upon that county, but as mat
ters stand there was no other alterna
tive.
Judge Kiddoo is industripns and prompt
in the discharge of his duties, and has
ab-> ordered an adjourned term of his
court in January. But the accumulation
of business on tho docket is immense,
and, in the opinion of an able member of
the bar, would require a session of sev
eral months to exhaust. In tho mean
time cases of crime and theft continue to
multiply among the negroes, and tax
payers are grievously burdened with the
lioard and maintenance of these offenders.
And yet it is Bafe to affirm that not one
freed man in five is prosecuted for violat
ing the law. The trouble and expense is
too great, and conviction and imprison
ment amount to nothing in the estima
tion of this class of our population. In
deed, many are glad to obtain lodging
and food for a few weeks with unlimited
sleeping privileges, free of cost. The
disgrace is a mere bagatelle
There are only tvmethods of laying
the axe to th» root of-*■*•*■- «.-» .»• y. One
tLc restoration of corporeal punishment
for larceny and similar offences, and the
other the establishment of County Courts
for the trial of all crimes under the grade
of murder. The , former, which would
probably prove the cheapest and most
effectual remedy, seems to be at present
impracticable. But the latter, in the
experience of our own county of Bibb
serves a most admirable purpose. Here
tbe costs of tbe court are more than de
frayed by tho fines and penalties im
posed, while the vengeance of the law is
made to descend at once upon tbe guilty
heads of delinquents. Hence vagrants
once so plentiful, are now as scarce as
frost in summer. Moreover, tbe Superior
Court is relieved of a vast amount of vex
atious, and tedious litigation, and has
more time to devote to graver causes.
We trust then for the goo l of society
and to ensure tho ends of justice, that
every populous county in the State
will establish & home court for the
speedy trial of minor offences. It is not
often that the intervention of a jury is
considered necessary, and the effect is
very salutary as a preventive of crime.
Sudden and certain punishment are in
dispensable for breaches of law, where a
large portion of the masses are ignorant
and irresponsible. They must be made
to realise and feel that justice is no myth,
but will be meted out without delay upon
the heads of all offenders. The jail house
too, they should learn was not designed
to be an asylum for loafers and vagrants.
Last Week’s Cotton Figures.
The cotton receipts of the week ending
last Friday night, 14th instant, were
124,060 boles against 128,114 bales last
week, 108.039 bales tbe previous week
and 100,452 bales three weeks since, mak
ing the total receipts since the first of
September, 1873, 722,724 bales against
887,588 bales for tbe same period of 1872,
showing a decrease since September 1,
1873, of 164,854 bales.
The interior port cotton receipts for
the week were 36,740 bales against 35,-
417 bales the same week last year. The
shipments were 37,162against 30,458 bales
last year and the stocks are 57,777 against
64,232 last year.
The Chronicle’s table of visible supply
foots up 1,900,460 bales against 2,037,954
last year and 1,961,111 the year before,
showadecrease respectively of 137,494and
60,650 bales. The Liverpool quotations
for middling uplands compare as follows:
1873, 8*d; 1872,9|d; 1871, 9}.
The Chronicle has the following upon
the New York market for'the week:
The decided improvement during the
week in financial affairs has in a measure
lifted the bnrden under which cotton was
laboring, and as a consequence of the re
lief prices have risen again. In fact, we
have had a steadily advancing market all
the week, and at the close middling up
land were quoted at 15ic., against 13jtc.
last Friday, an advance of 1 Je. against a
decline the week previous of lie. The
business done has been mainly for ex
port, but there has been some increase in
the demand for consumption and a slight
revival of speculation. Holders began
to advance their pretensions last Satur
day, when qtvotations were marked lc.
higher, and on Monday another Jc. But
it was not nntil Tuesday that there was
much business done. On Wednesday
quotations were further advanced Jo., and
on Thursday 4c. without checking the
demand. To-day holders made a still
further advance of 8c., but at the close
quotations were nominal, buyers having
retired. Tho higher quotations to-day
were mainly the result of the higher gold
premium.
The weather reports for the week were
favorable throughout the cotton region—
dry and cold. Average thermometer at
Galveston 63; at Mobile 60; at Selma
62; at Montgomery and Macon 61; at
Colnmbu3 55.
The Chronicle, putting the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange estimate of the
incoming crop into figpres, says it shows
a total crop of 3,682,000 boles.
W-
Malone’s Appeal to tbe
preme Court.
A brief note in the night telegrams in
our last edition told the fate of the appeal^
of Milton Malone’s counsel to the Su
preme Court of the United States. It
wa3 as follows: /' ; .
"The application of Milton Malone,
from Georgia, convicted of murder, who
applied on the ground that the law which
required the jury to be intelligent, ex
cluded colored men from the jury box,
was dismissed—there Icing no Federal
question presented.”
Althongh it is somewhat difficult to
infhginc how the court could fairly come
to any other decision, we are glad to no
tice it as another evidence of growing in^
disposition on the part of this Federal
tribunal to interfere with the govern
ments and jurisdiction of the States.
Malone is under sentence of death, to
be executed next Friday week, 28th No
vember, in Atlanta. The failure of this
appeal extinguishes the last hope of es
cape. xf- ’•*' I

Condition of Alabama.
What swift destruction—what a total
and airfni 1 blight Vs foUowed the one
year’s lapse of Alabama into the foul em
braces of negro radicalism may be seen
in the following summary of her condi
tion which forms the opening paragraph
of an article upon the State debt, in the
Montgomery Advertiser of last Tuesday.
Siys that paper:
It is not easy to imagine a State in a
worse condition, financially, than this
once opulent and thriving commonwealth.
It has wasted and wilted in. the poisonous
breath of radicalism, like every other
Southern community, only to a somewhat
more miserable extent than some others.
Alabama owes a debt it is not possible
with her small, and now broken and poor
population, to pay. No Legislature can
ever be brought to the capitol that will
take the responsibility of trying to levy
and collect a tax to meet m full the
direct debt of the State, to pay for a reo-
sonable school system, and the current
expenses of the Government. The di-
rect debt of tho State, when correctly
ascertained, will be found to amount to
near $25,000,000. The floating debt will
be found to amount to several other mil
lions The State's Treasury is empty and
likely to continue so. Her credit is at
tho lowest point. She cannot borrow, if
at all, except at a ruinous discount. The
assets of the State we regard as almost
nihil, under present circumstances. The
planters are nearly all in debt. The few
manufacturing establishments' in the
State are either ruim-d or crippled. We
believe the Southern and Central por
tions of Alabama are bankrupt. 1m,
State, as a whole, is bankrunt
We do —** 10 “J t1mt the md *
icaia created such an enormous debt as
this in a single year—it was, on the con
trary, the accumulation of several years
of their administration. But, as every
addition to a heavy burden tells with
vastly augmenting force, so it is probahlo
that it was the last year which mode the
burden wholly insupportable. As the
boundaries of solvency are approached
an increase of debt, comparatively insig
nificant, in itself considered, may be fatal.
It is the last straw, says the old eastern
proverb, that breaks the camel’s bock.
Alabama, with a year’s breathing spell
under a Democratic administration, was
oeginning to recover, but the triumph of
the African majority and their fuglemen
last fall and their revolutionary move
ments in running a duplicate State Leg
islature completed the financial rain of
the State in a very short time.
We point to the fate of Alabama as a
beacon of wamirg to Georgia. There is
no chance for Georgia if, by any means,
that hybrid party of destruction and ruin
get into power for a single gubernatorial
term. Georgia owes now just as much
as she can carry, and any material addi
tion to the debt would be ruinous.
The constant peril under which we live
of a State Government wholly irresponsi
ble to and wholly careless of.the tax
payers, demands (as we remarked yester
day) some constitutional provisions re
stricting the power of the Legislature to
create debt. At present we are in peril
of financial ruin as the result of every
election. A Government controlled by
non tar payers is in its very composition
so fatally wrong that ruin must inevita
bly follow it; and the fate of all the
negro States of the South is not acciden
tal—not attributable merely to the ex
ceptional rascality of these politicians,
but it is tbe certain result of the crazy,
imprarticable system established by the
Radicals—which can never work out any
other conclusion than political, social and
financial ruin.
Louisiana Sugar.
A Louisiana correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune says: “ The sugar interest
for this State has been, for the last few
years, a waning one. For some reason,
the sugar planters do not seem to make
a success of the free-labor system. It is
probable that the fault is not so much in
the system as in the connection with it
of the extravagance of detail which ac
companied the old-time way. At all
events, the fact is patent, that this moat
profitable of all agricultural interests in
ante-bellum times has of late been little
better than a maelstrom intp which many
an unfortunate planter’s fortune has been
engulfed. The number who are really
making money at it is few, while hun
dreds of plantations are lying quite idle,
being eaten up with taxes, and their
broad acres fast growing up to weeds,
and retrograding to tbe condition in
which DeSote found them.”
The fault is "in the system” as the cor
respondent knows, if he knows anything,
and had the manliness to acknowledge it.
It is just there and no where else. Hotr
can he expect the sugar, or any other in
terest of Louisiana to prosper under a
system, that dampels the planter to pay
the most exorbitant price for labor—
twenty-four dollars a month and rations
—with the negroes only half working, and
then sending them to the Legislature to
finish the ruin of the planter by the most
exorbitant taxes ?.. .The Chicago Tribune
and its friends brought about this condi
tion of affairs, and its tofamy is beginning
to so gall them that they, find it neces-
sap’ tp cast about for somebody, or some
thing upon which to saddle tho responsi
bility. We don’t wonder at their eager
ness to fix it upon ‘.'the extravagance of de
tail which accompanied the old time way,”
but-the ‘’damned spotf’-^won’t ant "under
such manipulation as that. Making vot
ers of, and pitting the Whites of Louisi
ana at the mercy of the negroes of that
State by Radical legislation, backed by
Federal bayonets, is the sole'cause of her
“broad acres fast growing up in weeds.”
All the lies and explanations that can be
written or spoken" by Radical newspapers,
correspondents and stumpers cannot
shake, much loss shatter, the solid
strength of that fact. It is impregnable,

Not for War.
The Cincinnati Commercial seems to
“be as strongly opposed to war with -the
Spanish Dons as most of the papers at
the North and West are in favor of it.
Its issue of Saturday bristles with sueh
paragraphs as the following :
The New York Herald tells us “the
people are aroused” about ftie “Santiago
barbarity.” Pooh ! The people are not
in a state of unhealthy excitement about
the shooting of a parcel of filibusters..
If people do not want to-be shot they

We reprinted yesterday from a New
York Herald report of last October, part
of the proceedings, of an •* International
Congress of Land and Forest Culturists,”
held at-Vienna, daring the recent Exposi
tion". The facta developed therein on
the subject of the influence of forests
upon rainfall and climate, were exceed
ingly interesting end seem to us to set at
rest a point warmly advanced, and as
earnestly controverted, that the amount
of rainfall is very largely promoted by
forest growth, and as largely diminished
by stripping the earth of 'ts forest cover
ing.
In that debate, indeed, it was roundly
asserted that man could pretty nearly
graduate tho amount of rainfall by regu
lating the area of forest. That by this
process he eonld turn a fruitful soil into
an arid desert, and vice versa; and, in
fact, so control the amount of surface
drainage as to make and unmake naviga
ble rivers. If that article escaped the
reader’s attention, we beg to refer him to
it again in the edition of yesterday.
Assuming that this high scientific au
thority and careful observation of physi
cal phenomena all over the earth, are to
bo relied upon, we want to call attention
to some remarkable climatic modifi«* tr ons
in the United States' which nave taken
place since the war, and been more par
ticularly noticeable within the past three
years. Wo want to direct the reader’s
notice to the fact that, particularly with
in the past three years, the summer cli
mates of the North and the Sontb seem
almost to have changed places. In the
South, instead of our long customary
snmmerdrouths which used to be so often
very injurious or fatal to the corn crop
and vegetables, we now have supera
bundant and even submerging rains in
June and July; and the change is so
great as really to modify farm products.
Now look at the converse fact in the
North and West. There a moist and
watery climate has given place to' terri
ble summer drouths which dry up the
springs and wells—seriously diminish the
water supplies of the great cities—porch
up the great grass and clover crops, and
produce such inflammable conditions of
field, forest and city that the country and
the world have been shocked by many
successive great conflagrations in all
three, which have involved the most dis
tressing loss of life and property.
To what, then, but to the same causes—
the spread and the destruction of forest
growth are the sesingular climatic changes
due? In the Southern States, the aboli
tion of slavery and consequent abstrac
tion of such a vast proportion of our labor
from the field, is fast remitting from one-
half to two-thirds of our once cultivated
area to the bosh. The most of this land
was originally' pine, and therefore lightly
shaded, whereas it is now re-covered with
a dense sorub growth far more effective
than the original growth, in producing
those chemical changes in the atmosphere
resulting in rain.
Now how is it in the North and West ?
The following article informs us :
The Phoorbss or the Timber Glut
tony.—Mr. James Little, of Montreal,
foresees that the people of the United
States will give their pine, hemlock and
spruce lands east of the Boeky Mountains
such a clean shave within the next ten
years that there will be nothing left worth
mentioning. These kinds of lumber, he
says, are chiefly found in Maine, New
York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and on
the head waters of the Mississippi in
Minnesota and Wisconsin. Maine’s sup
ply of pint, is nearly gone, and her people
are cutting spruce as small as six inches.
Pennsylvania is annually cutting off
500,000 000 feet, chiefly of pine and hem
lock, which will use up the whole in less
than, five years, and northern New
York, which produces 300,000,000 feet an
nually, is going to be appropriated by the
state as a reservoir and public park. The
destruction of trees in Minnesota and
Wisconsin is rapidly increasing. The
consumption of these kinds of timber in
Michigan, a State 'that is supposed to
have an inexhaustible supply, reached,
last year, 2,910,000,000 feet, the Chicago
fire making a tremendous draft upon the
forests, and this year’s product is 2,000,-
000,000. Our alarmist figures that the
next dozen years wall require seventy
thousand million feet of timber, which
would cover fourteen million acres,
whereas we have only seven million
acres uncut. Canada is already largely
drawn upon, but, says the writer, were
she to appply the immediate wants of
the United States, every stick of her pine
east of the R-ocky mountains would be
used up in three years. The unequal
duly imposed by the United States Gov
ernment, by which the cheaper kinds of
timber from Canada are shut out of the
market, is severely criticised. The state
ments of this writer are somewhat alartn
ing, and his strictures on the duty very
proper, but what can we do ? We must
have the timber, and all that is left us is
to go ahead and cut it, and when it is
gone, the good Lord will hunt'us up
something better, as he did when we had
harpooned all the whales, and the oil was
getting low in onr lamps.
Thus we see that precisely opposite
processes are going on in the two sections.
The South is rapidly reverting to the
bush, under the inspirations of African
freedom, and the North, under a heavy
demand for lumber, is being still more
rapidly stripped of her forest covering.
Some may point us to the fact that
there is also a somewhat heavy devasta
tion of pine forests for lumber in the
South. This is%rue; hat the process of
denudation in pine is very slow, com
pared with that of reinvestment in a
denser oaken shade; and the shade of
Southern pine timber trees, at best, is
very 'light, while thjit of the Northern
white pine, spruce, hemloek and hack
matack is as dense a shade as any forest
trees we know of.
Thus it seems to us the views of this
interesting paper are amply sustained bv
grand existing phenomena in the territory
of the United States; ang the people of
the South may count almost with cer
tainty upon an alteration in the character
of their climate, justifying and caltng
for different processes in agriculture and
a corresponding modification of crops.

blown down—two of the trees, very large
oaks, near the Sand Hills being tom up
by the roots. The damage to the fences
in the country around Augusta was very
great. At Columbus a portion of the tin
roofing of the Alabama warehouse and
some from the Fontaine warehouse was
blown off, and the chimneysof the steamer
Baudy Moore blown on to the pilot house
completely demolishing it. Chimneys,
trees and fences suffered severely. At
Americus the damage was confined to
trees and fences. Hail-stones of two or
three pounds weight were found on the
streets the next morning, and the roofs of
many houses were loaded with masses of
ice. A ginliouse of Mr. John David, six
mile3 from Colnmbus, was also blown
down.

Sundaw night’s storm extended as far
us Habersham county in the northeastern
part of the State. An observatory on a
mountain in that county put up by the
Federal Coast Survey Corps was blown
down, and the instruments carried some
distance. The Atlanta Constitution says
the Female College at West Point was
blown down and destroyed causingaloss of
$10,000. At Fairbum on the Atlanta and
West Point railway the storm destroyed
the Court-house and the railroad depot,
uprooted trees and leveled fences. The
walls of a brick building in process of
erection adjoining the wooden store of
Bohannon, Bird & Co., were blown down,
crushing in the store and killing Mr.
John Bird, who was sleeping in the store.
The store was crushed to pieces and a
large stock of goods destroyed.
At Atlanta not much damage was done.

W. J. Keith a ud other citizens of Grif
fin have filed a bill in Spalding county
enjoining the Mayor and Council of that
town from collecting taxes levied by them
to pay interest on certain bonds issued,
as complainants allege, in violation of
law and the charter of the city, which
only allows a tax of seventy-five cents on
every $ 100 worth of property. The bonds
amount to $55,000—$40,000 worth of
whidli were issued in favor of the Griffin,
Madison and Monticello railroad, and the
$15,000 to ran the municipal machine,
and negotiated at a discount of $3,000, in
the aggregate. In order to pay interest
on these bonds a tax of one and one-fourth
pier cent, was levied on all taxable propi-
erty, and the complainants propose to re
sist the payment of the difference be
tween the tax as fixed by the charter and
that assessed bf the Counfjj. Let them
keep np the fight nntil ffe have a new
State convention, when all these matters
will be straightened out satisfactorily,
by municipal authorities being confined
to their legitimate duties as understood
in the good old da^s of the past.
Colonel Clarke.—Col. E. Y. Clarke,
the young and gallant proprietor of tho
Atlanta Constitution, lias been unani
mously requostpd to redeliver his lecture
on “ Journalism ” before the Press Con
vention which meets here on December
16th. The lecture is represented as able
and interesting, full of thoughts which
will engross the attention of all classes.
We predict for him a full house, and to
his audience a speech, eloquent, pleasing
and effe ifive. Columbus Sun.
As Colonel Clarke is away, we, the
senior editor, take the pleasant liberty of
reproducing the above kindly notice from
a source proverbially careful in praise ox
blame, and, therefore, to be highly es
teemed. It is, perhaps, proper to add
that €a his unusual talent and energy,
Colonel Clarke joins a thought and devo
tion to the honor, usefulness and influ
ence of journalism and a fraternal spirit
to brother journalists not surpassed by
any newspaper man in the State or out
of it. This much mpy not be unbecom
mg,,to say in his absence, .without his
knowledge, jftnd by, one who has had
every means of gauging him thoroughly.

An Atlanta gentleman who was in'
Griffin on Monday informed the Star that
he had been travelling several days,
through the country by private convey-
oe, and was “surprised to see that the.
were running almost as numerous
is common in March. Cotton fields
are being turned upside down without
waiting to get out the “last picking;"
and ’ wheat is being sowed with a rush.
He says ttvat the farmers he talks with
theifi dream of ondden wealth through
cotton has dissolved; henceforth they
willFaise com and small gram, and en
deavor to keep out of debt.’’ L
The Star says the storm Sunday night

and that there is not one word of truth in
it from beginning to end. Those ladies
have been duped by a swindler who has
imposed upon their credulity.

Citizens’ Meeting.—On last Wednes
day night a large number of the citizens
of Forsyth assembled in the Court-house
for the purpose of taking some action in
regard to the money issued nnd circulated
by the City Council, and which has been
attacked through the courts for want of
constitutionality, etc. Most of the peo
ple present were enthusia tic in support
of the proposition to sustain the money,
although the courts should hold that the
same was unconstitutional and illegal.
Many speeches were made setting forth
the great good and beneficial results
which had nccrued to the town and coun
ty generally by reason of the circulation
of the money, together with the moral
obligation upon every citizen to sustain
the money and prevent innocent holders
from Buffering. It will be seen, by refer
ence to the resolutions passed and signed
by the parties, that they obligate them
selves, individually and collectively, to
redeem the same. It appears from the
resolutions that the individual liability
assumed to make the money good,
amounts to at least three-quarters of a
million of dollars. This money still
passes currently and is good for foreign
exchange and greenbacks at the banks.
We arc authorized to say that merchants
in adjoining towns and cities who may
receive the money can get cuirency for
the same by calling on the hanks.
Another Gin-house Burned.—We re
gret to learn that on last Tuesday, about
3 o’clock, the gin-house of Mr. J. F.
Clower, containing seven bales of cotton,
was completely destroyed by fire. The
fire is supposed to have originated from
a rock or match in the cotton. Loss be
tween $1,000 and $1,200.
More Cotton Burned.—We under
stand that Mr. Cicero Pritchett had two
bales of cotton in tho seed burned on last
Saturday night, in a cotton house on the
plantation of Mr. Jno. H. Greene. Tho
negro -guilty of the foul and dastardly
act, has been captured; and we under
take to say will suffer the full penalty of
the law.
Good Cotton Picking.—Mr. Jas. M.
White has a negro on his place who
picked 555 ponnd3 of cotton in one day,
last week, Mr. Gas Smith “sees that,”
and goe- him better, thus: his son, four
teen years of age, in a contest with a ne
gro boy, picked in ono day, 586 pounds;
tho negro piclring 636 pounds. This ex
ceeds any picking that we have heard of
this season, in Middle Georgia, and is
truly wonderful for this season.

Referring to the explosion of the

killing the engineer and firemay and de
