Tnit Butler Herald comes oat strongly this we -k in a column editorial for Sen' ator Bayard 03 the next Democratic can didate fat President. It strikes ns this is a little premature, bat Sammy Tildon is bard at work, and has been for months. 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 Gsxruaii Woptobd’s farm, five miles from Gsrters7ilie, comprises 3,000 aores, and it the subject of an extended notioa . In tho Ust Fret Brest. Ho is mnsh too comfortably situated to be hanEonng af ter office. At least it so occars to ns. 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 tants. 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 ported. 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.” Halt, oounty gives in $1,891,086 worth of kxaole property this peer. We should like to know what her return was befere ■he had a railroad. Let ns hear from tbe Regie or Southron. Stock xh a Chutext.—The Savannah Beoorder tells * moving story of the trib ulations ot • sweep in that oity who* Stack fast in a chimney, and only got out by leaving as toll moat of his clothing nod a lot of his skin. The Chalybeate Springs in Meriwether oounty had 1,600 visitors the past season, and their transportation from Geneva cost $8,000. 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 Gainesville Eagle well says: Tne truth or falsity of all that ha3 been said must be proven. The guilty must bo punished, and the innocent must be vindicated and slanderous tongnes set at rest. The people demand this much. Where the charges are ot a character that they oan be notieed officially the Legislature mu3t do their duty and probe to tho bottom. “Hew to the line, lot the chip3 fall where they wilL” Where they are not of Hub character, lot free, untrammelled and nnpartlsan press discuss them until tho trnth is reached. The people demand tho trnth 2 Let tnu investigation proceed! The Hampton Weekly say3 tho gin house, gin and ootton press of Mr. Sam Baiber at Stark, Butts county, was burned by an incendiary last Monday night. The Cathbert Appeal saya the cotton yield in that section will bs abort, and that the universal complaint is of large weed and little fruit. The Columbus papers report the sud den death of Mrs. W. H. Williams, a well known and much esteemed lady of that city. A forty pound encumber and a one and a half pound apple are products over which Lumpkin coanty is making some ado just now. The Dahlonega Signal says tho “de structive cut worm, which did so much damage to tho timber on the Blue Bidge in the early spring, deposited thousands of egga in the forest of that neighborhood and now every twig is a swaying mass of eggs and young worms or insects. Con sequently another plagne may be expected ftom this quarter.” The Oglethorpe Echo says nice mntton sells for only thirty cents a quarter in Lex ington. 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 British steamship “Xroubador’ has just arrived at Savannah from Plym outh, England, and will proceed at once to load with ootton. She is the first of a large fleet of steamers that annually visit Savannah daring the ootton season. Atlanta, September 11,1879. 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. fuck Speculation, A brakeman on a Western railroad placed $50 in a combination, which tamed a profit or 3% per oent, equal to $887.53 per one hundred shores, netting a profit of $193.50, in audition to the $;0 he invested- A con ductor m»de $l,176.2i in two combinations. A superintendent of an Eastern railway made $16,210.13 in three combinations. Others have also made large profits This system of stock speculations consolidates the interests of thousands into one whole, dividing the profits pro rata every thirty days. The combinations, handled with the beet skill and experience, attain great enc odes in the stock market. From $25 to $10,000 can thus do invested with vast ad vantage.

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.

Did yon give these lands in and pay the taxes on them for the purpose of get ting color of 'itle to thorn? A I did it to get the bonds. Is not your friend “Ward” a fblitioua per-:cn? A. Ho is not. If bo is a real person give his address. , Baltimore. Did yon not know be did not own the lands ? A I never said he did. Did not yon and Goldsmith agree at New Holland Springs that yon could relieve the double tax by paying tbe eingle tax? A We had agreement about it. Went to the Springs with Dr. Bell to get the Comptroller to take the tax. Tbe Comp troller did not come back with us. In answer to oertain questions by Sena tor Bower, witness stated he did not know the firm oi Bondo & Co. and Fox & Co., never saw them; was not employ ed by them; paid his own money on them; nevor was reimbursed by the firms above stated; know nothing abont them; did not have any authority to make retorns for Bondo ft Co. and Fox & Cc; don’t know how the books in tho Comptroller’s offioe were interlined; know 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.

THE HIGH COUBT OF IMPEACHMENT _ wan oalled io otdur by the Chief Juotica Tne minutes were read 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?
