Ah. incendiary lira at Savannah,
That* lay morning, burned two hand
some residences on AValdburg street, re
spectively oconpied by Messrs. John Q.
Butler and Jos. H. Hall, both of whom
whom, vith their families, were tempo
rarily absent.' Tha estimated loss is bo-
tween $3,000 and $10,000L

Cxdae Grove District, Walker county,
i3 a laud of fatness. It made this yeai
St,200 bushels of wheat, with a propor
tionate neavy yield of corn.
The Borne gas works are to be recon
structed, and new ones put up with ca
pacity to supply a city of 20,000 inhabi

Chop Barons-—'Tho Albany Netcs makes
a gluotnv one, as follows:
Mr. J. L. Dozior, of Ducker’s Station,
reports that the caterpillar is doing much
damage, and will strip all cotton in two
' weeks’ time. Thinks about five-eighths
or two-thirds of a crop will be made.
Mr. D. e.,ya ha does not believe in poisons.
In 1872 ho spent $500 in poisons for dc«
. atroytiig the caterpillar, but it did not
prevent them from ruining hia crop. Tno
boll worm has damaged him some, as has
also the ruet. Thinks about two-thirds
of a corn crop has been made; the pea
crop not so good, bnt cane and potatoes
are drat into. The people in his section
are somewhat discouraged, bat making
the beat possible ont of tbeir unfavorable
circuntstanoss.
Reports are conflicting as to crops in
Calhoun. Same report pretty fair pros
pect, others say it will be tho poorest
yield of cotton and corn known in the
coanty foi years; cane and potatoes good.
Great deal of grain will bo pat in this
fall; and farmers will do everything in
their power to supplement the short corn
crop and to make hog and hominy ac
borne.
Health of the county good compared
to what it was last year.
Tho cotton fields along tho A. and G.
B. B., between this point and Camilla,
present a deplorable spectacle. Many
are completely stripped of leaves, and
the bore stalks tell a pitiful tale. Scarce
ly any of them seem to have escaped tbe j
ravages of the worm. A gentleman in [
Camilla told us there was “not a green
leaf of cotton in Mitchol coantyand
oar observation goes far to confirm his
statement.
From Baker coanty come most gloomy
reports. Messrs. Fleming, Davis, Couch,
Gsliowuy, Solano and others state posi
tively tnat not more than one-third of a
crop can be gatnered, so severe are the
ravages of the caterpillar. Mr. Lark, ot
that coanty, who planted 600 acreB in
cotton, offers to take 100 bales for the
crop.
From iiae. Worth, Berrien, Colquitt
and Terrell reports are more encourag
ing, and Dougherty county is not so
bad.
Tub Central and Atlantic and Gulf
Bailroads carried 1,495 and 316 bales of
cotton respectively to Savannah, on Fri-
- day.
The Quitman Reporter says the cater
pillars will about finish ap the cotton this
week on most of the farms in that sec.
tion.
Diphtheria has been prevailing to an
alarming extent in Greensboro, reoently,
and many deaths among children are re

Youb Dhole Bobxbt.—What is the
matter with Bob Toombs, says the An-
gusta Neat, under this bead, and adds:
H« made the new Constitution, did not
he? He is tbe man who gave Georgia
its boul: salaries, and now a change has
come over your unde. In his advioe to
the State Solona he announces that re-
sponsib.e oSloes should have salaries that
will command men ot ability. This he
write.- conocrning the railroad commis
sioners f o be elected, and by comparison
with salaries in England, intimates that
$15,000 or thereabouts would be a good
salary. Ho also aays that the dignity of
the Commissioner should be equal to that
of onr Supreme Court Judges. Why
then can’t the dignified Commissioners
be oontent with tho miserable salary now
given to the Judges of the Supreme
Court of Georgia, or does your Uncle
Robert want to be a Railroad Commis
sioner?
Ths Gainesville Southron is authority
for the statement that “General Toombs
gave Colonel Prioe, President of tbe
North Georgia Agricultural College, his
efaeok for one thousand dollars, on ac
count of the Gilmer fond. This was In
adranoe of tbe regular payment.”

Gold Mixing in Oolxthospx Couktt.
—We find the following in the last issue
of tbe Echo i
A gentleman just returned from the
gold regions in this coanty report great
preparations for work going on. The
ground is covered with machinery, a large
force ct men are at work patting it up
and electing the neoessary buildings,
while a squad of miners are sinking a
shaft sear at hand and getting out ore to
work on.
The point at whioh first dirt will be
broken is on Mr. Babe Perteet’s land,
near where Mr. J. A. Booth lives. The
plaoe selected for the mills is about 100
yards from the pnblio road, He. r a small
branch, and at a point where Ur. Winn
liod sunk an old shaft and discovered a
rich vein of ore. It is three-fonrths of a
mile from Baffalo creek, and we are told
that a railroad tanning from the mill to
that water-course has already been sur
veyed, aud work thereon will commence
as soon as the mice has been tested and
found to prove of value.
Witn the latest improvements in min
ing machinery, it requires but a small
supply of water to extraot tho gold from
the ore, and 90 per cent, of the preoious
dust oan be saved. Again, under the
Old mode of work so ore that wonld yield
l .as !t-u $30 per ton would pay; now it
can bo taken from a mine and separated
at a coot ot less than $2.50. It is estima
ted that mere is now in sight in our gold
belt over 1,000,000 tons of ore that will
Assay $25 *»er ton. If this be the ease
there ie. a clear profit .of $22,500,000 to
the 'Apiialiste who see fit to east their
cash on tne Oglethorpe gold fields.
Ic will oe some weeks before work will
begin. Very few have any idea of the
CMdiinacy and labor neoeaaary to put a
gold mine In operation* A tall etaek
ohimneyia now being ereoted, the naatn-
meth engine put in position, the iron
pestles arranged and buildings going up
like magus. Neighboring saw-mills are
running all tho time, every brick in a ra
dios of ten miles bought np and teams
find steady work in transporting tho ma
chinery and material.
For awhile hands wero paid $1 per
day, bnt upon the company learning that,
they wero giving them double the ubusI
price they reduoed them to SO cents. A
strike was then made, bnt it was not suc
cessful. The rebels were dismissed and
plenty of new hands easily found.
Property in ths mining belt is fest aa
vancing in price, but no new sales are ef
fected; woald-bo pnrobaseis are awaiting
to see how the company now at work will
succeed. We were told that the Magrnder
mine, in Columbia county, was sold last
week to eomo Philadelphia capitalists for
$13,000.
Large crowds daily visit the scene of
operations, and return astonished at the
amount of machinery they eee.
Referring to matters at Atlanta, the

The
Excent Fieb xh Savannah.—
The Etivs has the following additional
particulars of the incendiary fire in that
city:
It appears that some time before the
fire the young gentlemen who occupied
Mr. Hull’s house, whilst m their room,
heard a suspicious noise on the premi
ses, and at once proceeded to investigate
the cause, and tbe discovery was made
that an elegant silver waiter had been
stolen. A search for the tbief proved
unsuccessful, and the gentlemen, alter
seeing carefnlly to the secarity of the
house, retired. They were sound asleep
when the fire was discovered, aad were
nearly suffocated with smoke before
they made their escape from the honse.
The supposition 1b tbat the thief, after
getting out of the house, seoreted himself
in the yard, and, when all was qniet, made
bis way to the stable in tbe yard of Mr.
Butler'adjomiDg, and fired it, the objeot
being to afford bis confederates an oppor
tunity, ic the confusion tbat wonld follow,
to plunder freely. This supposition u
borne ont by tbe disoovery that a num
ber of the articles removed from Mr. But
ler’s honse were stolen, and yesterday
morning early a gang of negroes were
upon the ground gathering np everything
they conld lay their hands on. During
the morning Mr. Butler had warrants is
sued by Magistrate Molina against some
of ibeae parties, who were known to have
carried off a lot of water and gas pipe,
and a constable was dispatched to hunt
them up.
Mr. Butler’s insurance was plaocd in
the Imperial and Northern, represented
by Messrs Nentville & Co., and waa aa
follows: $2,500 on Swelling, $100 on
stable and servants’ room, $100 on car
riage honse, $1,000 on turmtnre, $300 on
piano, making a total of $4,300.
He had jnst finished painting the house
throughout, and it was in perfeot and
elegant order. The loss aastained by
both Mr. Hall aid Mr. Butler exoeeds
their insurance by nearly $2,000 each
Ths Newt learns tbat a popular Savan
nah pilot “had a very Barrow escape from
drowning on Wednesday afternoon. He
bad taken a vessel to the outer bnoy, and
bidding the captain good-bye, returned
to bu boat, whioh waa then cast loose.
The aea waa running very high at the
time, and the ship was soon some dis
tance away, when suddenly his boat was
capsized and he waa thrown into the
water. He managed to secure the pain
ter, and wrapped it around hia body to
prevent being earned away by the raging
billowa' and held to the eide ot tha
craft with great difficulty, his station be
ing extremely perilous. After being in
tha water several hours, he waa finally
picked up by a psaaing tug and
brought into port greatly exhausted. We
could learn no farther particulars, but
understand that his escape from a watery
grave waa almost miraculous.

THE HIGH OOUBTOF IMP■ ACHWCNT
met at 3,30, p.m. The Chief Justice
called the court to order.
EVIDENCE FOB THE STATE CONTINUED,
In accordance with the ruling and
decitio of the Chief Justice and
the cnate in referenoe to the
introduction of the official report of Mad
ison Bell, former Comptroller General
daring th9 years 1S68, 1869 and 1870,
Manager Tnrner introduced tho said doc
uments in evidence. The purport of this
testimony is to show the transactions of
the wild land department at that time and
tha recommendation of Mr. Bell that
the law under which the department was
operated, should be repealed as bo
ing unjust and onerous to tho
people. Manager Turner also intro
dneed the report of Goldsmith on the
wild land law recommending tho re.en
actment of tho law.
MB. IV. A. WEIGHT BEINERODUCZD,
Witness stated tbat Col. Hardeman is
a clerk in the wild land office; so is Dr,
Bell also; eo is Mr. Swift. Witness ex
amined a reoord book of said office and
identified in said book the handwriting
of Dr. Bell, Col. Hardeman and of Ur.
Swift; never saw tbe book until this
morning; have seen Mr. Hinton P.
Wright in the Comptroller’s office; tho
Comptroller appeared to be friendly with
Mr. Wrigpt.
Cross-examination.—Witness, at re*
quest of Counselor Hopkins, offered the
book of unreturaed wild lands, and read
several entries and interlineations. These
entries ocourred on a number of pages,
Manager Tnrner tendered the book in
evidence whioh had been found in tho
Comptroller’s offioe this morning, in sup
port of the articlo whioh charges GoM-
rmiih with having obtained unduo
credits.
Counselor Hopkins objected on the
ground that the book did not appear to
ba a book of record, bat a book of pri
vats account,
The Cnief Justice ruled tbat the book
was prima facia a book of publio reoord
concerning the doings of the office, but
would submit it to tbe Senato.
Senator Speer asked that the point of
the admissibility of tbe book be put
the Senate, which was done, and the
xnling of tho ohair was unanimously sus
tained.
Manager Turner then stated that tho
book was a reoord of the returns of the
Ordinaries of the State to tho Comptrol
ler of wild lands from 1875.
Manager Turner then read a statement
of the amounts of the Ordinaries’ returns
on wild lands, whioh were returned to the
Treasurer by the Comptroller. Tho two
records showed a vast discrepancy be
tween tbe amounts actually returned to
and received by Goldsmith from the Or.
dinaries for tax on wild lands, and the
amounts appearing on the Treasurer’s
books as paid in by him as said tax.
Tbe court here adjourned as the
chamber was growing very dark. The
boar for assembling was fixed, alter
some debate, at 11 a. m. instead of 10,
in order to give tbe public printer time
to catoh up on the report of the proceed
ings.

DANIEL LOTT.
1 live in Wayorosa, Ware county; in
1875 paid the taxes on the ltnd of Bondo
ft Co. and Fox & Co., to the Comptroller;
did it to get the fi. foe. on the land.
The tax was paid on the agreement that
witness should receive the fi. fas. when
issued; Comptroller at first refused to
give witness the fi. fas., but did it after
wards on the payment of the fifty cents
oostontbem. The Comptroller had no
interest with witness in tne transaction.
The lands on which witness paid taxes
nad beer advertised.
Cross Examination.—Have no know!
edge aa to wbo axe Bonao & Co., or Fox
ft Co.; never was agent tor those people.
Tbe tax receipts were not given me
as agent; paid tbe tax to get the fi. fss
Witness’ attention was fitet called to said
lands by a letter from Mr. Ward, of Bal
timore, wno asked me to pay tax on a
portion of the laud; part of the land was
mine by an imperfect title; can’t tell how
the lots were miae; some of the lots
were in Pierce; never repreeented myself
•« the agent of Hondo ft Co. or For &
Co.; nod an imperfect title to some three
orfonrlot3 of these lands in Berrien
county; wzs served with a subpoena to
briog all tbe papers connected with tho
transferred fi. foe.; did not understand it
to inolude all deeds and papers.
The Bnbpcaoa was read, and it showed
that it called for all papers, deeds and
evidence of title to these lands.
Witness resuming—Did not think the
deeds were worth anything; can’t tell
bow many were good nor bow many were
not; got tbe excess from the ealo of wild
laud under those deeds, but am under
bond to acconat for this excess; some of
the ownerB had good titles; don’t know
bow many claimed and got the excess.
Witness is honor bonnd to return the ex-
oeaa to the sheriffs in case the true own
ers claim the excess. The deeds wit
ness held were aot perfect, but some of
them were honest. I mean to be honest
about it
Manager Turner then read a bond
signed in Ware, and approved by the
sheriff of Dodge county tbe same day.
Witness—Mr. MoAxthar arranged that
basineaafor me; sent tbe bond to him;
have never had a settlement with Mo
Arthur; we owned some land together;
Griffin was not connected with witness;
think McArthur and ho are partners; the
bond was for the overplus; in some
transactions McArthur noted as claimant
for witness, where witness was transferee,
and witness sometimes did the same good
office for MuArttmr; no settlement has
been made between witness and Ho-
Artbur; McArthur waa interested with
<,omo of tho papers owned by witness;
got about two hundred or more lots from
tho Comptroller.
Witness—[To Counselor Hopkins]—
The sheriff of Dodge coanty has been
ruled.
Witness—[To Manager TarnerJ—Did
not employ counsel for the sheriff; Mo-
Arthur may have done sc; bo attended to
that.

nothing about the books. About 150,-
000 sores were sold ac that sale; stopped
the sale on abont 50,000 aores m Baker,
Mitchell, Dougherty and Worth coun
ties; asked the U. S. Marshal by what
anthoriiy he levied on tho lands; he

been $17.50. The amount waa written

request of the defendant, who at tbe time
of this writing baa not seen my report.

EVIDENCE FOB THE DEFENSE COXXXKUXH
James M. Goldsmith on tbe stand.
Witness suited tbe book in which tbe
interlineaticns ooour is tbu wild land
book for 1874; a separate book was kept
for each year; a book was kept in the of
fice showing fi. fas. sent 'sheriffs; tbe
interlineations witness thinks were made
all at one time. Witness waa present at
an interview in the Comptroller-General’s
office between-Wright and Hon Lonie
StrtokUnd. Striokland came in the offioe
first; Wright cam* in afterwards; had a
postal oard in bis band, containing■
dan; this brought ap the snbjeot of bnsl
ness and money. Striokland said be bad
shaved notes; Wright asked Striokland
if bo wonld like to make $100; Siriok-
iand said yes, if he conld do so honorably.
Wright answered he wonld not ask him
to do anything dishonorable. They then
went to one Bide. Heard Striokland say
if anyone insulted him he would resent it
even to striking. Had nothing to do with
the fi. fas. against the lands of Sanders
end Duncan. H»d no connection with
that matter at alb
Cross examined—The transfer of fi,
fas. to Lott was made in the winter of
1877. Tbe transfers were made ont first
and the interlinerationa of D. Lott,
Agent, made afterwards,probably a month
afterwards, Tbe interlinerationa may
have been made in 1878; issued the fi,
fas. against the Bo ado & Co. and Fox &
Co. lands under the instructions of Dr,
A. J. Bell. Bell is not anparior to wit
ness in the office; Goldsmith is the supe
rior of witneM; this was not witness’ reg
ular basinet*; did not observe that the
lands ware marked “paid;” would hare
made tha alteration all the same if I had
seen mark, at Bell’s request; never is
sued, to witness’ recollection, any other
fi. fae.; no ona was preaent when the al-
teratiou were made; never told W. A.
Wright about it; don’t remember how
many fi. fas. witness issued against the
Bondo & Co. and Fox ft Co. lands; know
how muoh oost waa charged against each
lot, bnt aot the whole amount of the oost:
never aaid that he did not knowat whose
instruction he issued the fi, fas. in
presence of Hon. John J. Hall and man
ager Polhill.
Manager Turner then read to witness a
statement made by him before tbe wild
land committee in conflict with a por
tion ot his evidence this morning. The
witness stated that upon reflection, hia
preaent memory was oorreot, and not the
statement before the committee.
Witness—Bell was not the chief olerk
in the wild land office. The interview
between Striokland and H. F. Wright
took place about the middle of July, m
the morning; witness recapitulated hia
testimony in referenoe to the interview;
thinks he heard the whole conversation;
saw no connection between the snbjeot,
which waa a business talk, and the re
mark by Mr. Strickland abont resenting
an insalt, etc.; thinks the Comptroller
came in the offioe; don’t remember that
he said anything abont the the paper to
be signed. The Comptroller never said
anything to witness in his life abont the
Bondo ft Co. or Fox & Co. lands until
after this investigation; did not sea the
Comptroller sign the fi. fas; the clerical
work was all done at the same time; may
have eigned the Comptroller’s name to
the fi. fas.; don’t remember whether he
signed the fi. fas. or not, but doss re
member that he did not seo the Comp,
troller sign them. The Comptroller payB
Bell, be should think, not by warrants
on the State, bat oat of money in tbe of
fice; don’t know hia salary; don’t know
what are his duties; he did attend to the
correspondence at one time; don’t know
muoh about the wild land offioe; don’t
know why witness was selected tc at
tend to the fi. fas. mentioned.
Ee-direct examination.—Have written
frequently in the books of the wild land
oflioi; the clerks did not confine their du
ties to any one department. Mr. Bell
was in the wild land offioe when the
Comptroller went into office; he under
stood the business of the wild land of
fice. The olerka employed were W. A.
Wright, S. J. Bell am) Varnadoe; all
were employed pretty busily.
Re-crosa examined.—Witness stated
knew all that those men did; don’t know
that Mr. W. A. Wright asked for help
to do hia duties; don’t remember that he
ever asked that Varnadoe ba appointed ro
holp him; gu did himself in making the
alterations by the liat furnished witness
by Dr. A. J. Beil; don’t romember how
long tho issue of the Bondo & Co. and
Fox & Co. fi. fas, waa after the general
issue and advertisement of the wildland
fi. fas. in the Constitution was made; it
was after the main i.sue was made—
after October.
By Senator Stephens—Who was the
proper clerk to make entries on the wild
-.and book ? A. William A. Wright was
chief olerk.
Q. Was it not tho business of tho
proper olerk to make that alteration? A.
Don’t think any olerk wonld ask me to
do a wrong thing.
In answer to several questions by sev
eral Senators, witness said tbat he nevA
told Goldsmith anything about it, and
that Goldsmith never had anything to do
with the transfer. Witness was not in
tbe wild land office; have made many en
tries in tho books of the wild land offioe
don’t remember what other alteration
were made; made the alterations at the
request of Dr, Bell.
By Senator Dubose—Did you make
the entries relating to the Bondo & Co.
and Fox ft Co. lands in 1874? A. Did
not; they were made by Mr. Swift.
By n Senator—Did yon ever trade in
wild landfc? A. Have sold some belong
ing to ma in Carroll oounty.
By Senator Bawera—Was any bill or
paper handed Mr. Striokland while in
tha room at the time of his interview
with Hinton F. Wright ? A. Not that I
saw.
Q. If von say any letter or paper was
handed Mr. Striokland, state who banded
it to him end who requested Strickland to
sign? A. It it happened it happened af
ter £ went out.
Q. Did yon or did yon not make the
interlmaation on the wild land reoord of
“D. Lott, uguat,” daring tho absence of
Mr. W. A. Wright from the office? A.
Don’t think it was.
Q- Waere was Mr. Wright at the time
yon made tho alteration? A, Don’t re
member.
Q. Did yon have anything to do with
tho fl taj. mentioned in conversation
with tho sale at Savannah? A, Never
heard of that tranBaotion nntil yester
day.

Tbe corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With Imitate bending down.
The gentian’s bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In nusty ponds the milk weed
Its hidden tilk has span.
The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every rnetdow nook:
And asters by the brook-side
Make asters in tbe brook.
From dewy lanes at moming
The grapes sweet odors rise,
At r.oonthe roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies.
Brail these lovely tokens
September days are hero,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.

The Chinese are rapdlv multiplying in thia

question is frequently asked, “where do

were given in this paper showing how largely
theae people are figuring in Jersey City as
Iaundiymen, tooacoo and cigar dealers, and
even as street peddlers. Hoooken, it may be
aaid, i« having similar experiences. There,
I am informed, noma of them are not only

the effrontery ereu to trench on tue sacred

Interview in World.l
“Do yon think Mr. Tilden’e ohareta foe
tha n animation aa good as anyone’s?
“Well, I shouldn't want to say that I did.
Tf I said anything I should be expressing an
opinion.”
“Well, yon have read, have you not, the
reeent statements of Mr. Field iu the World
abont Mr. XUdan’s connection with the Ele-
TAiOti road btools? *
“Oh, yes, I have read them all and thought
about them. At Long Branch they were the
chief topio of conversation ftom tite day on
whioh the first interview with Mr. Field ap
peared in the World. I don’t objeot to tell
ing yon what I thought about them. They
reminded me of a cose in conrt in which a
witness was asked what he knew abont the
parti a to the aoit then pending. ‘Weil,’the
witness replied. ‘I know both parties and I
consider them both infamous rascals, bnt of
the two I rather think t e defendant is the
worst.’ Bo I think that in the Field-Til-
doa case the defendant is probably worse
than the plaintiff.”
“Mr. Tilden,”yoar correspondent contin
ued, "has not yet found t ma to reply to Mr.
Field’s explioit charges over his own name.
Should he let them go unanswered, and
should the pnblio come to feel that he has
intentionally deceived and ovene&cbed a
business associate, do you thiuk his poatical
proepects would be injured?”
‘‘In the way In which political affairs go
nowadays,” Mr. Stephens replied, “crime
seems to be so obstacle to a man’s advance
ment.”
