But for this relief we are told there most have been a oraeb, and so it is urged that nothing more oppor tune has happened in commercial affairs for a long time. There is no donbt that the rise was only tracsient and unreal so far as the merits of the staple are concerned; but it bee enabled bankers and speculators to es cape temporarily, and in part, from a perilous position and has, therefore, aver ted a collapse that otherwise seemed in- ‘ evitable.

The fugitives surrendered their arms to onr citizens to be returned to Mexico. A number of the mutineer* were killed on the Mexican side.

The House judiciary committee to-day considered the bill introduced by Sena tor Bayard entitled “a bill in relation to j nries and to repeal sections 801,820,821 and part of 800 of the revised statutes,” which passed the Senate last Friday. An amendment proposed by reprerenta- liva Heibert, of Alabama, was discussed, progress at Atlanta. The Dispatch says, “In a coo), calm manner and firm clear voice, Drewqg .Tye stood np before tbe jury and .read the following statement.” We maksono extract from the sam<*. The prisoner said: I was molested in a plaoe where I thought and still think I had a vested right to be, and by a min much my su perior iu strength, swearing before I should kill there he would kill me or I should kill him. He drew a knife and made at me as 1 believe with a deliberate intention to kill me. I fired. He wheel ed about that time and tben wont into tbe slangbter-pen. When he camo ont he told me he was shot. Is3td, "yon oan’t blame me; yon brought it on your self.” As to the evidence of Mrs Mans field it is positively' false. Gentlemen of the jury, I was compelled to do what I did. As to doing it with malioe afore thought I am innocent. I could not pre vent what oooarrei oa that unfortunate day. But of a sense of my deep regret I have no power of expression. Wttn this I close. It is proposed to invito the members of the Somh .Carolina press association to visit Atlanta . on Thursday and par take o? the hospitalities of the city. The Air Line road, which always doos the liberal thing, will farnith a special train for the brethren, and Colonel Evan Ho - ell is obairman of tbe oommittee of oiti- zshs who will go to Greenville, Santb Carolina, and extend the above.invitaUon. This ia just what itshonld be. We glean from the Dispatch. A Mistake Rectified.—We know a man who wants to bet a suit of clothes that Cox, the murderer of Colonel Al ston, although convicted by a jary of his oountry, and sentenced to imprisonment for life, will never be sent to tne peniten tiary. It makes us torn red in the face, for the sake of the law# of our State, when a man dings such a banter as this Bt us,but then there is not enoueh faith in the just and impattial execution of those laws, left within ps, to bear us np in tak ing the beti—Allani/Adverliscr. : We think the above ia far too harBh upon the legislaiure and executive of the State—Macon Telegraph. To this onr respected and esteemed contemporary thus rejclns: .Will the Teleobafh be kind enough "to .tell ns wherqin this is “harsh” upon flhe ‘iLegUlaforaand Executive” of the Slate ? I! it has any reference to either the Legislature or Executive, then we must confess that we cannot construe our own language correctly. Neither the Legislature nor the Executive have had anything to do with tbe Cox trial, nor do we see how, in the regular order of things, they ever can or will have, «x • cept the Governor should conclude to pardon tbe murderer, which' we have no idea he will ever do.' We subsequently printed another para graph showing that the Legislature could not, if It would, pardon Hr. Cox, and the editors of the Advertiser, as will be seen, do not believe the Governor will do so- This relieves them from all imputation of harshness against either the Legislative or Executive, and we cheerfully make the amende for what was simply inadvertence only. We suppose onr contemporary bad reference to the nnositsinties of the law should a new trial be granted Cox. If it ahonld not be acoorded, then, most as suredly, the prisoner, unless be .makes good bis esoape, must, under tbe penalty tbe Judge has imposed, go to tbe State’s prison. 130 besd of sheep.
