GEOEGIA TELEGRAPH BUILDING Volume LIT—NO 41 the: state legislature. Atliuta, October 6,1879. THE SENATE met at nine this morning, the President in tho chair. Prayer by the Chaplain. The roll was called end a quorum found prcaent. The journal was read and approved. TBS mail COUBT OF IMPEACHMENT was called to order by tbe Chief Justice, 0:30 a. m. Tho minutes were read. When the coart adjourned on S&tur* day, Senator McDaniel had the floor, and this morning he resumed his argu mont on tho order of Senator Cum- xnio£. Senator McDaniel said that tho Treas urer did not deserve the credit of float ing tho bonds of tho State successfully, ns the sohome by which this was accom plished did not originate with Renfroe, but it was simply the result of former legislation, which he carried out just as any oti «r u.au could hare done. That he would nit take time by going over the ground covered so ably by Sen ators Clarke and Lester, bnt be bad this to lay, that the money deposited in the banks by Renfroe was still in bis hands, for this reason, it for no other, that it was deposited for his own benefit, and not for that of the State, as prescribed by ^I deny that it is necessary for a statute to bo passed beforo a section in toe Con- otitution becomes operative. This is true if yon wished to pat him in jeopardy of life and liberty in a criminal court, but thuisnot a proceeding to punisn Joan W. Renfroe as a man, bat it is the Court Of tho State to try tho Treasurer, a State officer. Whsa the Constitution speaks with its “shill not,” no statute is necessa- r \ h0 Coni til ut ion forbids imprisonment for debt. Now, what statute is necea- sary to enforce that prohibition ? Can it bo that after tbe acts passed and the pro- visions of the Constitution that the peo ple are powerless to impeach a Treasurer who has received thousands in violation of la w, when it is established by the plain est proof? What treasurer of an obscure couuty will not eay, if this kind of of fense goes unpunished bere in the capi tal, can he not do likewisa and go fret? Senator Simmons said ho did not re member that any law had been men tioned allowing Renfroe to do what he had been charged with. He did not wish personally to be hard on any man, bnt that he would stand by the vote cast by hlmBelf beforo bis constituents. The Order offered by Senator Cumming bad no other effect than to give the Senate the qnestion in broken dasos. Senator Bower said that be was op posed to the order, because the same end could be accomplished by Other means. The Senate was approaching tho closing scones of another solemn drama. Ha did not seek to bocomo a partisan on either side, or to question tbe motives of any Senator. The qnestion addressed itself to eaob individual and conscience of each Senator. He had his own rule of action, and would accord tbe same to each Senator. The law on the question bad already been argued by men having proceeded me, and though I might tread ground trodden before, I will give some of tbe grounds which will ioflaenco me, I cannot oonceive as a lawyer, stripped of all icflaencss within and withoat some men who know tho law, and look at this question in tho view presented bere in this Senate Chamber, I mean tbat, I can nob see how a partial mind can look at it in tbe way they have. Men are often partial not from meanness or corrup tion, but from a most nobis sentiment of friendship. That ho granted the jus tice to thoso Senators who have taken the other side that ft^-v were ioflaenosd by this noble sen-. and thus he could nut being bint . .-e the true view of the matter. Tb< « ay iu the con stitution In three i- - 'hst the Treas urer shall notrecei'- , nher compen sation, save his er< > Che Treasurer plocds Ignorance. " • the constitu tion said th* said t ! - »i3 a felony, it was a felony. V . • • 'he constitu tion declared that i> . • . -t the penalty was disqualification * 11 office, the defendant waa disqu ! . . from holding office. Now the qo-. ■ that presents is shall it be enforce. > i tho Legisla ture for a hundred y ■ ■ pass a law on the subject it would ■ . rdify the pro vision of tho code lit-. but here we bavo a court, which requires no legisla tive machinery to pne it into operation. Z stand here, not as an individual, bat as a servant of the people, as a Senator dealing with a Treasurer. The question is not whether Benfroo mado a good Treasurer, if, indeed, he only did his duty; if he was a better treasurer than his predecessor—it was became his pre decessor was only a bad treasurer. Nor do I look to wbat pnblc opinion says. If the ^rt-plo wish me to vote otherwise than my conviotlon, I will resign before I wiii do it. Z will vote as the law and my duty direots, it 1 stand or fall. flio Coart hero adjourned till 3:30 p. m. Tho Senate also adjourned 15 GENERAL. The Senate will probably reach a vote this evening od the Camming order, which will in effect be a teBt vote. It is with pain I have remarked tbe immense amount of lobbying, not only in tbe hotels and streets, but even in the private rooms of tbe Senate, wbieh has been employed in this case. The city has presented the appearanae of election times on soveral nights during tho prog ress of this triaL The defendant and his friends have not been idle both in and out of th» Senate. Night and day have they been at work. An immense amount of influence bas been brought to boar on the Senate, bnt let them do their duty. If Benfroe Is guilty, eay so; if he is in- nooent, let them find him so withoat any fear or favor. PSBSONAL. Again, it is my pleasure to mention unsolicited the honorable course and ia« ielligent views of Senator Bower. His is a pure heart and a dear bead. Suc cess to him. I would also mention with high commendation the speech of Sena- •tor McDaniel. Gaeolynn. THE HOUSE met at 9 o’olook and was called to order by tho Speaker. Prayer by Rev.

He was surprised, when about two thousand metres from the landing by a three hundred pound shell which passed through the fuanel, break ing the hoisting chain and port coaming of the boiler hateh, and striking the deck, where it exploded. The orew of the monitor were at once beat to qaaiters and the action com menced. The batteries on shore wero three in number, north and south re- doubts, with two 150 pound Krcpp guns, and tho centre oon.ainiog only one 3- OJO pounder.

Cue, tho Abato, whose machinery was being re paired, backing on a line from her Bafe position behind a oouple of English ves sels, firing a broadside and then hauling ahead again out of range of our guns. This movement, whioh wa3 several times repeated, was not always so rapidly ex ecuted as to avoid danger. One of the Haascar’s sholls hit her amidship, killing five of the orew and wounding ssvoral others, including Captain S. B. Siuohes and the exsoutive offiesr. The Magal- lenas.

The state of affairs is oansing great interest in the progress of the trial, as it ia known the vote will be very oloae.” Onr readers will perhaps find the remit elsewhere. Of the heavy failure in Augusta an nounced by telegraph Sunday morning, the Augusta Newt bas the following par ticulars: The largest failure in August* in m&ny years was suddenly made known to-day. The announcement that Messrs. J. F. & L. J. Miller had failed very heavily, sur prised everyone in Augusta this morn ing, except those immediately connected with their business. One ot the largest milling and grooery establishments in tne city, their commercial strength was thought to be perfectly secure, and in deed has bees till within the past two years, their assets being set down at about $75,000. Daring this recent period the firm has been crippled by the repeal of tho bankrupt law and consequent failures falling heavily on them. The immediate cause of the failure of Messrs. Miller, which ia very sudden, was occasioned by a recent loss of $30,- 000 in wheat failures. Be'ng mill men they bongbt grain heavily, and the re cent fluctuations and excitement went against them. Until about mid day it was tbonght that satisfactory arrange ments conld be made to bridge the ohastn and still xnn on, bnt finding it impossible, an assignment was made. The liabilities will reaoh about $75,000 while $25,000 assets are claimed. Mr. Z. Daniel was appointed assignee, and will take oharge of the assets for benefit of creditors. The heaviest loser proba bly is the National Bank of Augusts, who closed down on the firm this morning for a note for about twenty thousand dol lars causing the snspension. Nearly all the banks and a number ot individuals will suffer, bnt not to such an extent. Tho suspension i3 a surprise to every ouo, and is tbe street rnmor of to-day. No firms or individuals are so sexionsiy involved that this will b3 followed by ctber failures. The Messrs. Miller are well known business men in Augusta, and their strength has been undoubted. Energetic and industrious, they will cer tainly build themselves up again, for both may yet be cohaide-ed young men. An Athens letter in the Augusta 2fewt says tbe University opohid with elghty- fl 7 o students, end that 209 more are ex pected. The Atlanta Dispatch prints this item; List Light Senator Camming and b Mr. Hewitt, of Augusta, had a difficulty in tbo arcade of tee Kimball House. To-day Mr. Camming undo a strong ap psal ia favor r.f oot guilty in two Bm- tree o*iie. We learn Mr. Us wit; tm t Mr. Cumming cud asked bow mush mauev ho tud r. oeived from ftanfroe for making the speeoc. Mr. Camming piomp ly re sented the insult by striking Mr. Hewitt in the fao9. The matter ended 8t that point, Ur. Hewitt leaving the arcade. Wx infer from the following that the Tilden boom has not yet reached the of fice of the Atlanta Cbnrfilttf so*—at least to any great extent. Or is Col. Harris only funning? Mr. Tilden is represented as being very mnoh outraged at the recent occur rences in the Sontb. Very well. Nobody objeotB to that, Bnt what Mr. Tilde* wants to do is to give his attention and indignation to recent occurrences in New York. If lie will look after John Kelly, the CoMfifuiio* and the Burlington Haxoleye will look after the moral and political welfare of the South. It Mr. Tilden loses New York, the attitude of the Sooth will probably make him more indignant than ever. DirsHiRiA.—The Oglethorpe Echo says diptheria, in a most violent form, is reg- ing in Wolfshln district end other sec tions of this county. It is most fatal In its effects, a number of deaths being re ported. One lady recently died standing up, while near at hand two ot her chil dren were in the last throes of death. Our physicians pronounce it very oonta- glous, and say all remedies fail in its treatment. Great exertions are being made to atop its ravages, bnt as yet with out avail. Graene and Morgan oounties have been suffering from this plague for several weeks post, and a large number ot deaths are reoorded. The same paper says it Is estimated “that over 5,009 acres of fertile low- grounds have been cleared in Oglethorpe this year, and will be planted i* corn. next season. This will increase onr grain crop by at least 100,000 bushels—the bottoms in this section easily averaging twenty bushels per acre. After the war these fertile l&ndB were mostly thrown out, for want of hands to ditoh and culti vate them." A Chicago man worth ono million was in Oglethorpe county tho other day in specting the gold mines. The Echo says he wilt invest largely. Did would have bad a more cheerful sound. Th9 editor of the Echo is evidently get ting solid. He annonness “no o’nb rates no more, and no wood wanted at any price.” Albany Advertiser: We are no apolo gise for Governor Oolquitt, nor do we de sire to be understood as leaning toward him for another term; but we must pro test against the oontemptible means that are being employed by some individuals and newspapers to injnre his good namo and oreato a feeling of distrust towards him in the minds of the masses. Such under-belt thrusts as have and ore being direoted at the Governor are calculated to create a sympathy for him in the hearts of all fair-minded people, and, in a politioal point of view, will do him more good than barm. Having printed the statement referred to below in this column, we give tho correction the same position: Editors Telegraph and Hettinger: I find in your issue ot to-day an extraot from the Augusta Chronicle, containing a boast “that the best ootton picking done in one day in the South was reosntly ac complished on the plantation or Dr. J. S. Oliphant, of Jefferson county. I am somewhat astonished to learn that tho highest picker gathered only 4G9 pound?. I beg leave to bear testimony to the fact that I Lave two hands onmyfarmin, Macon connty, on Flint river, who gath ered in one day, of dry cotton, the one 612 ponnds, the other 669 pounds. Their names are respectively Simon and Spsn- oer Carson. The cotton was weighed by disinterested parties. Respectfully, J- P. Cabsjn Reynolds, Ga„ Oat. 4,1879. Hh Won’t Rieion.—An Atlanta letter to the Augusta Chronicle says: John Nelms says he won’t resign. He denies that he has dona anything for which he deserves to Icae the offioe of Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary. Mr. Nelms is a deoided man, and means what he nays abont this matter. Governor Colquitt now has bsfore him the evi dence in the investigation of Mr. Nelma’ oonduot, with a request from the House that he take suoh action thereon as he may deem proper. As to what the Gov ernor will do there are different surmises. As I said in my last letter, this question has placed the Governor in a delioate sit uation. His aotion is anxiously awaited both by bis friends and bis active oppo nents, who, I must believe, hope to make capital out of it. Speaking of the Governor, it may be well to say tbat he looks as cheerful and pleasant as ever. He has had a stormy administration, whioh will be historical. Abuse doss not always hurt a public man. Alt Calhoun, the brilliant Yankee, who oame down here a few years ago, took held of the Columbol Enquirer and kept the town in a boii until he left, used to eay when he was abased, that it neoes- sary, he wonld hire a few suefh fellows as his enemies to stand around bar-rooms and cusa him aa tho best means of mak ing him solid with the good people ot the place. I do not apply these remarks to the opponents ot Govern Oolqnitb as any reflection on their respectability, but merely as an evidence that too muoh abuse like too muoh poison, goes back on itself, and loaves the intended victim feeling a little badlj-, it may be. but sometimes really benefitted. Ths Republican Revival. — In the Sonth is a matter over which the Northern journals are trying to raise a sensation, oat ontside of their enthusi astic comments on the subject little is heard of it. Atlanta is surely the Re publican centre of the State, it that shattered party can claim a oentre. Among the leading Republicans hero I find nothing to indicate such hopefulness as that which is seen in the spirit of the Northern' press. It does not seem probable that any organisation will be had for the State campaign ot next year. Popular trial ahows the wocth of every sxtide, and thirty-four years of constant use have proven the great efficaey of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup; it has no superior. . , ft sH>»*fai Letter in Courier-JournaLl The defense of Dr. Blackburn made by the Courier-Journal ia eoniidered a master- piece; and when yon charged that the impor tation or yellow fever into Northern towns, even if true, was no worse than tbe inocula tion of Confederate prisoners with syphilitio rims instead of vaodne by Federal surgeons la Northern prison pens, tt seemed to act as a quietus on the restlexe souls of some of the Radical papers.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Philadelphia, Sept. 29, 1879. A TRIP TO LOWELL. Before leaving Boston the writer spsnt one dav meat agreeably at the home and headquarters of Beast Butler. He sal lied forth to make a formal coll upon the hero of Dutoh Gap oanal, the tyrant of New Orleans and the betrayer, one by ono, of every party in the nation, but either fortunately or unfortunately he had gone to oonsnlt with hla Indepen dent friends in the Northwest, and, of oourse, was not to be soon. In the pond ing oontest for Governor never was self ishness, supreme and isolated, more com pletely exemplified than in the candidaoy of Bntier. With ASTONISHING SAGACITY, and masterly management, too, ho bos contrived to bring all manner of extremes together and weld into one compact fac tion every discontented element in the State. Herd-money Republicans, soft-money Demoorats, the universalforeigu element, the biggest portion of the “Grand Army of the • Union," tho out and out Greenbackers, the disgruntled Fall River strikers, all, in short, who desire change, it matters not how far asunder may bs their political opinions, are rallying liko one man to {he butler standard. In him they consider they have found the most ablo and available leader to break np the present State government, whioh is the chief object in view. After that is accomplished, then the cards will be abutted over again, and new political combinations arise. True to his treaoh- eroua record, it is a notable foot that the “Beast” bas very muoh modified bis greenback positions, and sedulously avoids any demonstrations in that direc tion. His sole hope of success is by cat ting into the Democratio and Republican ranks; hence this reticence. If needfal to promote his own aspirations, he stands ready to sell oat anybody and every body. But it is wonderful how.heartily Butler is hated, oven in his own home. We heard some of tho most prominent citizens of Lowell and Boston express their unutterable disgust for the man, and the coming oan- vass will bo bitter indeed. The old Bos ton Postja manfully rallying the true Democracy, and striving to keep them together. But, including tho Prohibi tionists, there will bo FOUR 0ANDIDATE3 in the field,and a solid nnionof all tbo dis affected elements may eleot Butler. Then look oat for him as an Independent can didate in the next Presidential raoe. Was ever a State so torn np and divided within it3£lf a3 staid old Massachusetts ? At Lowell we first visited the world re nowned establishment of AYBB & GO., and bad tho pleasure of greeting that genial friend and staunch ex-Confederate, Capt Geo. A. Gordon,and the chemist Mr. M. 0. Gove,who Is wellknownin Angusia. Both gentlemen were exceedingly polite and altentive, and the Captain just as he did several years ago, sho we the writer all over the premises. W shall not repeat the description then printed in the Telegraph, but simply give present statistics and results. Messrs. Ayer & Co. have agensies es tablished and sell their madioines in 07- ery olvilizad country on the globe. They advertise in 3.0G0 papers at an annual outlay of $160,000. They scatter broadcast all over creation EIGHT AND A HALF MILLIONS ot almanacs, whioh are all printed by themselves under the same roof where their medicines are manufactured. We saw about twenty iteaty presses at work upon them, and a multitude of neat and pretty girls doing tho stitching and finishing. Two almanacs are printed and turned off every second, and they are rendered in Spanish, Portuguese, French, Polish, German and Italian. PILL B0XI3 BT THE MILLION. The neat little hexes for the pills whioh are so familiar to all, are made to order in Sohoharie, N. Y. To illustrate the potency of improved machinery it is suffi- cient to say that these boxes are furnish ed to the proprietors at fifty for one cent, and their contents cost two cents apiece. They are sold at twenty-five cents each. Bnt it is the handling of them that monnts np so heavily. We connted seventy hogsheads of these little stomach disturbers. In the manufacture of tho sarBsparilla syrup SIX HUNDRED BABR2L3 of N. E. ruin are consumed annually, and hundreds of barrels of the beat white sngav. The company employ 200 hands, and Us net income foots np the enormous sum of $800,000. All ot this from tho sale of three popular nostrums. ! A FORTUNE FOB SOHXBODX. Captain Gordon said it was amazing now many inquixies*were made by the col- ored people from ail quarters of the Union for some preparation which wonld take the “kinks oat of their wool.” This race peculiarity is so obstinate that it will yield to no pulling, carding or manipula tion. Back tho hair rolls np as tight as ever again at every attempt. And tbe imitative darkey does not like it. He wishes not only to dress, but wear his hair like “de white folks.” But the latter feat he cannot accomplish, and hence he is unhappy. What a field for Yankee ingenuity 1 Mr. Ayor, brother of the originator of these remedies, is a courteous and intelli gent old gentleman. With our friend Gordon as gnide and oicerone, next we visited and examined all the departments of the LOWELL OABFXT MANUFACTURING COM PANY, whioh is the largest establishment of the Unfl on the continent,and turns ont noth ing bat Brussels and In£r.ia carpets. We watohed the operation from the mo ment that the dirty wool was thoronghly washed and cleansed by being rapidly whirled about and rent in fragments in the water of a swift mill race in the base ment of the lofty building, until it mads its final reappearance in the form of handsome rolls of carpeting to adorn the mansions of the opulent. Eioh process ia exceedingly interesting but cannot be described within the limits of a newspaper letter. Again we axe forced to confine onr observations to the baro statistics of this mammoth concern. The “Lowell Carpet Manufacturing Company” gives employment te SIXTEEN HUNDRED LABORERS, 1,000 of whom are females and 600 men. They turn ont daily, baled and ready for shipment, 7.500 yards of their beautiful fabrics. Sixteen thousand pounds of wool are consumed ia the sime time, the product in carpets weighing four tons. Sixty looms in a room covering can acre in extent, daily werva forty yards each, of Brussels carpets, whioh does not In- olade the ingrain department. The warp room, dye room, tpinnaig room, pattern room, carding loom aud waste room, each ia deserving of notloe did time permit. The pattern rocm es pecially, where the ingenious figures ere devised and skilfaiiy ersoa'ed w.s a Win der in itself. The mills gjp driven by a (oxbinati.-n of steam and water power. Of the lattsr. 800 horse power, ia utilized whioh is sup plemented by MANY POWERFUL STEAM ENGINES, having no leas than fifty-one huge boilers,' eaob forty feet long by thirty-three inch es inside capaoity. Tho consumption of ooal is 4,500 tons yearly, and the im mense cellar is oapablo o4 holding 3,000 tons. Tho driving wheel is twenty-five feet in diameter. Everything in this mammoth establishment moves like dock work, and all the details are of the most interesting charaoter and highly in structive to the visitor. Lowell oontains about 50,009 inhabi tants and hundreds of manufactories of every description. The results produced by skilled labor from the raw material are most astonishing, and their actnal value almost fabuloas in the aggregate. Those are the enterprises that have en riched New England sad transformed her rooky and 6terile domain into a land teaming with prosperity and populous oities. The agricultural interest dwin dles into insignificance by tho side of the manufacturing. We were told that the .wholeof Massachusetts does not produce corn and wheat sufficient to feed the sin gle city of Boston. Indeed, seldom was a corn patch larger than an acre to be seeo, and grass, apples and pears seemjto ba the staples. But we must hurry on with this narra tive of the Bimpla incidents of travel. Betraoinghls way without aooidfent by the same route to New York, the writer, the next day, went over in about two hours (distance 93 miles), to William Penn’s ~~ ‘ CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE, The speed of the train was almost ap palling, and the oonoussion of passing looomotives and cars resembled tho orash of thunder. But every precaution is ta ken for the proteotion of tho traveler, and the accidents and oiaualtles are very few. Hero all is life and bnsllc, too, though the rush does net compare with that of New York. Trade is said to be very satis factory,and is reviving all over tho North.’ Bnt tho engagements of tbe writer mnst curtail incontinently this hurried comma* nication, and he respectfully bide the reader adieu.
