TUESDAY MORNING. JULY 11. 1871.
Akticipated Row ix New York —There is
great excitement in New York growing ont of
an anticipated row among the Irish population
of that city to-morrow. Tho Orangemen,
(Protestant Irish,) have proposed a grand pub
lic procession, which, in some way (not under
stood) is held as an insult and defiance by the
Catholic Irish. The latter have appealed to the
Mayor to forbid the procession, but as that
would be wholly inconsistent with civil and po
litical rights under this Government, the Mayor
has declined the undertaking. The Catholics,
therefore, have notified the publio that the Or
ange procession shall not be permitted, and are
preparing for an assault upon it. The Orange
men, on the other hand, put upon their mettle,
swear they will hold if, and thus the matter
stands.
Tho hierarchy and priesthood of the Catholic
Church in New York, on Sunday, appealed to
the members of their congregations to be quiet ;
but, as will be seen from the dispatches of
Monday morning, a meeting of tho Irish corpo
rations was held in the afternoon and a large
majority wore in favor of attacking the organi
zation.
Wo trust that hotter counsols will prevail and
the peace bo preserved. A riot is seldom a mat
ter of much premeditation. When tho people
have time for reflection they see the folly of it.
AU classes of politicians have the legal right to
march the streets in peace, and even flaunt of
fensive banners in the face of their fellow-citi
zens. The rights of freemen involve, to some
extent, tho right to be disagreeable and offen
sive ; and instead of undertaking to whip the
7,000 Now York Orangemen, tho fifteen thou
sand Irish Catholics, if they insist on revenge,
should take it in kind. If the Orangemen ridi
cule them in procession, lot thorn ridiculo the
orangemen the same way tho next day.
“Sweet Sovereign.”—Tho President has had
a high time in New Jersey—eating himself as
modelled in statuos of ice cream, gingerbread
and sugar, with a cigar in his mouth. The
President remarked that this was the only time
ho over saw himself with his cigar unlighted.
Senator Freliughuysen said the people .would
swallow Grant eagerly withont cream or sugar.
Betsey Frelinghuysen, pointing with her spoon
to tL dissolving scenes, presented by the
creamy figuros, said that wa3 the first time
Grant ever run. TopsySnap, a sour old spins-
tor, said it was the first time ho was ever in
melting mood, or had the milk of human kind-
noss in his bnzzum. Arabella White said a
President should not requiro so much siceetnin’,
and was then sharply chided by her mother
for a supposod indelicato allusion to tho gift
businoss. But Arabella spitefully rejoined that
she “didn't care a mossel,” and if the whole
Grant family wero there, down to the forty-sec
ond cousin, she would gladly eat ’em up, if that
would bo tho last of ’em. Upon this, Dr. Mc-
Cosh called the whole concern to order, just as
tho last “ice cream statoo of tho Gineral, tum
bled down kerslash into tho stand basin.” Those
were jolly times in the Jarsoys.
The Cotton Figures, (see dispatches on first
page,) show total receipts since September 1st,
1870, 3,029,1G0 bales, against 2,833,C07 the pre
vious yoar. Receipts during tho week a little
in excess of the week before. Exports very
light, and stock at the ports and interior points
198,468, against 189,095 last yoar. Exports
3,069,646, against 2,099,513. Liverpool stock
715,000, against 574,000 last year. Cotton
afloat—American 103,000, and Indian 521,560—
024,560 bales, against 490,540 last yoar. Wo
aro rominded that, in estimating tho incoming
orop, wo have omitted a material item in “over
land cotton”—that is, cotton forwarded by rail
way direct to United States consumers, which it
is supposod will amonnt to somewhere between
one and two hundred thousand bales, and swell
tho American ctoo orny>v.vn.a8‘ , s\A-ty*hr*xurty-
rnroo hundred thousand bales.
Everts A Adams.—The Now York Sun an
nounces with a flourish of trumpets that a grand
movement is on foot among the Germans,
beaded by ex-Mayor Havemeysr, to bring out
a ticket composed of Hon. William H. Evarfs
for President nnd John Quincy Adams for
Vioe-President, and make an appeal to the peo
ple against the twaddle, bigotry, fraud aud folly
whioh now characterize tho management of
publio affairs. The Sun is particularly anxious
to escape the embarrassing dilemma which will
be presented by the renomination of Grant and
a Democratic ticket pure nnd simple, neither
of which it can support. We will say of his
tioket that it is one of sense and integrity—and
would so be regarded by the people.
Commencements at Athens and Oxford-
One Fare.—Referring to a report made by Mr.
Lowis at the Alumni meeting in Macon, stating
that he had mnde arrangements with the Cen
tral and Macon and Western Roads to carry at
tendants on the Alumni festival at Athens at
one faro for both ways, the Macon and Augusta
Railway reminds ns that they have been adver
tising in our paper two weeks to carry all attend
ants upon the commencements at Athens and
Oxford on the same terms. On the payment of
full fare in going, they will be famished a re
turn ticket free.
The Bureau’s Forthcoming Cotton Report.
The New York Commercial Advertiser of Friday
night says that private dispatches report that
tho returns received at the Agricultural Depart
ment show a decreased productive capacity in
the growth of cotton of a million ' and a half
acres, and a falling off of the crop as compared
with last year of twenty-three per cent. Twenty-
fite per cent, off the incoming crop would make
tho next crop more than 3,200,000 bales and we
do not believe it is going to be so much as that.
The Best Cotton Crop in the United States.
Tho Edgefield Advertiser says that Gapt. T. L.
Smith’s cotton crop, one mile north of Edgefield,
South Carolina, is the best one in Uncle Sam’s
dominions. The plants average waist high and
are thickly set with blooms and squares. The
ground is mellow and deep and not a sprig of
grass to be seen. Wo reckon the Advertiser is
about right
The Pennsylvania Manifesto shows in the
terse language of Jeremiah Black, the supreme
folly of the allegation that if the Democracy
should agree to make no issue upon the late
constitutional amendments—no material issnes
would be left and there would be no difference
between the two parties.
Obituary Notices.—Our charge for publish
ing obituary notices is ten cents a line, which
can bo readily computed by counting the man
uscript lines. A line of foolscap will ordinarily
make a printed lino in our columns. Count
your own lines, and inclose the money.
The Hattiexs have presented Senator Cha3.
Sumner with a gold medal for his opposition to
San Domingo annexation. The abstraction of
so ranch gold as this from Hayti will reduce their
currency two or three hundred per cent. more.
We have received a communication on the
subject of the late medical row in this oity,
which it is not possible to make room for to
day. To-morrow we may publish it.

Ad Error In Policy.
By a table the Montgomery Advertiser shows
that under the State Constitution just $4,241
value of property is exempted from levy in case
of a family consisting of man, wife and three
children'. This was short-sighted policy in Ala
bama. She ought to have exempted at least
$4,241,000 in value, and then the people would
have kept out of debt—leastways they could not
have got into it, which would have been an
equal blessing. In Georgis, we do these things
by “relief laws.” Every three or four years,
when some of the people get a little beyond
their depth, a crisis cornea, and we pass a relief
law. We naturally, like all high-minded people,
despise repudiation, and never interfere with
the obligations of contracts at all—by no means.
We simply require that the creditor shall come
forward and prove a few things, more or less.
If the debt is for real estate, the vendor must
prove that it has not depreciated—has always
brought good crops—and those crops sold for
good prices. That the location is healthy and
the debtor has paid nothing for doctors’ bills and
fnnerals. That there’s no homestead lien on it
and it has been returned for taxes, etc., etc.,
etc. If the debt is for corn, it must be shown
that the com was sound and the moles eat it
freely—that the negroes gave it to the stock and
did not steal any. That none was lost on the
road by reason of tom sacks and no males were
injured or lost from cholio while eating the com.
And so on through the chapter. This much il
lustrates tho tygh moral principle involved,
which is designed, as Dick Tarpin said, when
he emptied tho pockets of a usurer, to “sub-
sarvo the eends of jestice.” We like the Ala
bama plan better, becanse it does not take the
rapscallions unawares. But they havo not ex
empted enough. No state shonld exempt 1<=bs
than five millions at a pop.
THE GEORGIA 1’ItESS.

terday morning for NY ashington, whither ho has
been summoned to testify bofore the K. K. Com

Maj. J. Mott Middleton, a prominent citizen
and planter, died at Savannah, last Friday.
After yesterday the Savannah banks will close

Saturday was a scorcher at Savannah. The
Republican reports three coses of prostration
from heat, its local among the nnmber. In the
editor’s sanctum at 8:30 p. m., the mercury
marked 94 degrees. Oar friend S. mast “take
off his flesh and ait in his bones,” to keep cool
under such a pressure of caloric.
Michael Reilly, an employee at Haywood’s
ice house, at Savannah, died veiy suddenly, on
Saturday.
Tho Savannah Advertiser, of Sunday, says:

The Advertiser, of Sunday, says
The Spanish Trade of Savannah—Valuable
Statistics of 1870-71.—Until the season of 1870
and 1871, it was an nnnsual thing to observe a
Spanish vessel in the port of Savannah, prob
ably not more than one or two clearing through
out an entire season. Daring the past year,
however, this trade, heretofore confined princi
pally to Charleston, was transferred to Savannah,
and as a result we find an entry of forty-two
Spanish vessels, including two steamers, twen
ty-six barks, and fourteen brigs, exporting 31,-
162 bales of cotton, 1,830 barrels of rosin, 236,-
833 feet of lumber, and 31,609 staves. These
vessels, upon their arrival, met with unsur
passed dispatch, filling up quickly through the
efforts of Messrs. Charles Green, Son & Co.,
who controlled the entire shipments to Spain,
while Messrs. Octavus Cohen & Co. and Messrs.
J. W. Anderson’s Sons & Co. filled up rapidly
for Liverpool and Havre. This new addition to
the commercial interests of Savannah, so ex
tensively inaugurated, we are informed will be
increased two-fold the coming season, as ar
rangements are now being perfected for con
ducting that particular branch of commerce on
a more extended scale.
On last Thursday night, 120 bales of cotton
were shipped from Nashville to New York, via
Atlanta, Augusta aud Charleston. This is the
first shipment of the kind since the war, says
the Constitutionalist.
Of the watermelon trade of Angusta the Con
stitutionalist says:
Watermelon Trade of Augusta.—The whole
country depends almost entirely upon the imme
diate neighborhood of Augusta for a supply of
melons, and thousands are annually shipped
from this city to New York, Charleston, Savan
nah and other places, where they find a ready
sale at high prices. We know of an instance
where a young friend of ours has realized $10
per day since the commencement of the season,
after an expenditure of not more than $300, and
with one hand and mnle to cultivate his crop.
From the 3d to the 7th inst, 9,362 watermelons
were shipped over the Central Railroad to New
York. Of these, 5,939 were shipped in one day
—the 7th. Daring the same lime, 5,907 melons
were forwarded by the South Carolina Railroad
to New York and 5G0 to Charleston. Thus, in
a week's time, over 11,000 watermelons, grown
in the vicinity of Angusta, have been shipped
principally tc New York. These, at an average
of 25 cents apiece, would amonnt to nearly
$3,000 in value. This is only a small beginning
of what is to come, for we understand that the
crop will be one of tha largest ever made in the
county, and contracts have been made with par
ties at the North who will take as many melons
as can be shipped.
We qnote the following from the Chronicle
and Sentinel, of Sunday:
The Other Brother Caught.—Several days
ago we noticed the arrest of a somewhat cele
brated character, William Oxford, aliis Taylor,
by the sheriff and three men in Burke oounty.
Bullock offered a reward of $2,000 for his cap
ture, which, we understand, has been promptly
paid over to his captors. On last Friday even
ing the other brother, Henry Oxford alias Tay
lor, was brought to the city under arrest. It
appers that information was received that he
was working in a saw mill near No. 11, on the
Central Railroad, in Jefferson county, and Judge
Gibson issued a bench warrant for his appre
hension. A few days ago, we learn. Messrs. G.
M Hood, Chas Evans and Frank Bland, went
down to Jefferson from this city, and nabbed
him. A reward of $5,000 has been offered for
his arrest. He is now safe in the jail of this
citv. It is said that Oxford has made some as
tounding revelations about the Kn klnx in Wash
ington and Emanuel, but whether his disclos
ures were truth or merely jest, is unknown.
Requisition.—We learn that the Governor of
South Carolina has made a requisition npon the
Governor of Georgia for the body of Owen L
W. Smith, the oolored preacher, who is charged
with being the leader of the Ku klnx who killed
Low, and wounded Mr. Red and his wife and I
mother, and who was arrested by the Angusta
police, aud committed as a fugitive from jus
tice. He is also’ to be taken to South Carolina
to be triad under the Ru klux bill m the United
States C.ourt
Another National Bane —Some days since
we announced the formation of a third National
Bank in Angnsta. This morning we are grati
fied at being able to announce that a fourth
National Bank has been organized. At the
meeting of the stockholders of the Angusta
Savings Bank the other evening, it was deter
mined to convert that corporation into a Na
tional Bank. It is believed that the bank will
be ready for bnsineas in a very short time. The
capital stock is $325,000.
A lady who is forty years old, very good look
ing, the mother of ten children, whose avoir
dupois is represented by the figures 405, and
who can stand in a half bushel measure and
shonlder two and a half bnshels of wheat, is
among the visitors at Catoosa Springs at present.
Whew!
We clip, as follows, from the Colnmhns En
quirer, of Sunday:
Seale Station, Ala., July 7, 1871.—During
a heavy rain and thunder storm here yesterday
afternoon, about 5 o clock, Mr. Zorkowski’s
livery stable was stricken by lightning, carry
ing away and damagtug a considerable portion
of the front end of the building, killing a son
of Mr. Benjamin R. Henry, aged about ten
years, and prostrated Captain Robert N. How
ard and two negro men, who were all the per
sons in the stable at the time. As soon as dis
covered, they were all held tn a stream of water
close by. made by the rain falling in torrents.
Captain Howard and the negroes revived slowly,
and are all out this morning, bnt complaining
of injuries sustained.
H. L Kimball.—A reliable gentleman and
contractor from Enfanla, now present in our
city, preparing to bid on the work of the North
and South Road, reports that H. L Kimball has
sold out the Brunswick and Albany Railroad, of
which ho was elected President a short time
back, with such sounding trumpets. The Cen
tral Railroad interest was the purchaser. Com
ment is unnecessary.
Mr. Wm. C. Mullikin “acknowledges the
corn” in the last Washington Gazette. He sent
on for a “gold hunting watch,” and received a
box of sawdnst. Mullikin says in italics, “I am
cored.”
Tho Athens Banner, of Friday, makes this
donble thrust:
Gone.—To avoid the responsibility of writing
editorials this hot weather, the editor incoti-
nently took a paper collar and a comb and left
on Wednesday. From his taking his comb we
conclude he is going to Atlanta.
We saw him Friday, and he complained of the
heat. The idea of a man with that sort of a
wardrobe, making such a complaint 1.
The Bainbridge Sun says:
A Nigger Guardian Skins his Ward Alive.—
Last Monday was brought before Judge Gurley’s
court negro a named Lewis Yonng, charged
with cruelty to his ward, a juvenile suffrage-
slinger of about five years old, named Wesley
Glenn. The child was presented to the court
and examined; and his back was found to be
literally skinned, presenting a disgusting speo-
tacle. It seems that this inhuman monster has
been in the habit of torturing yonng Glenn by
degrees, and it was clearly proven‘in court—for
his back was in the highest state of lacerated
putrefaction. Yonng went to jail in default of
bail.
Mr. Charles Dimock, engineer at a saw mill
at Conyers, had his left arm cut off by a circu
lar saw last Thursday.
Daring the conrse of an animated discossion
with knives at Newton Faotory, last week, be
tween Ike Thomas and Tom and Jack Parker,
the former was Btabbed in fourteen places—once
in the longs.
We get the following from the Outhbert Ap
peal of Saturday:
Attempted Outrage.—Abont one o’clook on
the night of the 3d inst, a daughter of Mr.
Grant, living in this county, was aroused from
her slumbers by the forcible entrance of a ne
gro man into her room. Upon giving the alarm,
the negro made his escape. The young ladiy’s
father and brother came quickly to the rescue,
aud were told the direction taken by the negro,
and also that he was in a state of nudity. These
gentlemen proceeded to the cabin of a negro
man employed on the farm, and sure enough
found him in the act of dressing. They carried
him ont into the woods to give him another kind
of “dressing,” bnt he made his escape, followed
by a few pistol balls—the effect of which is un
known. Nothing has been seen of the negro
since. His wife came to town on Tuesday, and
L-a Mr. Gra"*- W* o«*ootBd on a charge
of murder. They were released upon giving
bond for their appearance at the next Sup«»i«"
Coart. ;
Judge Keils.—The article published some
time since in reference to Judge Keils, of Ala
bama, was a news item procured from a clergy
man, and given in snbstance just as it was re
ceived from him. Afterwards a prominent cit
izen of Enfanla repeated the same almost with
out variation, which he says was the current re
port of tho city. Jndge Keils now denies the
truth of the statement, and we give him the
benefit of that denial. The publio oan take
and sum up the evidence if they choose, in the
premises, and form its own conclusion.. We do
not care to pursue the subject any farther. The
game is not worth the candle. We will assure
the irate Judge, however, that, despite his pol
itics, we would not wilfully misrepresent him.
As we are ever ready to give both sides a hear
ing we will publish the letter of Jndge Keils to
morrow. JEL H. J.
Maoon and Augusta Railroad.—A note to
the editors calls their attention to the fact that
this road has already advertised that it will
carry and return visitors to the Athens com
mencement for one fare, and that its omission
from the list of roads that had agreed to do so,
noted in the account of the proceedings of the
Alumni Association meeting, in this city last
Friday, may create a false impression. We
take great pleasure in setting the M. and A.
Road right in the premises, as it is the shortest
and speediest route of reaching Athens from
Maoon and vicinity—leaving here after early
breakfast, and landing passengers in Athens by
4 p. M. same day.
American Newspaper Directory.—Geo. P.
Rowell & Co., publishers and newspaper adver
tising agents, 41 Park Row, New York, have
just issued the American Newspaper Directory,
a splendid royal octavo volume of 500 pages,
giving all possible statistics about the periodi
cal press in America. In the United States and
Canadas there are 6,438 periodicals, with an ag
gregate circulation of 1,499,922,219. In Geor
gia there are 14 dailies, 5 tri-weeklies, 7 semi
weeklies, 86 weeklies, and an aggregate of 123
in all.
The New Loan.—The loan contemplated by
tho new funding bill of Secretary Boutwell has
gone np. The Secretary has directed the Con
tinental Bank Note Company of New York to
discontinue printing bonds. So far two hun
dred millions have been printed and sixty-seven
millions are said to have been “taken.” But of
this amount, only seven millions have been
really subscribed for, and the balance has been
exchanged for other securities held by the na
tional banks. As a financial measure the new
loan is a “dead cock in the pit.”
The Growing Cotton Crop.—A Herald special
from Washington dated 6th, says :
The Department of Agriculture is preparing
to issue next week another report of the cotton
acreage of the Southern States aud the general
condition of the crop. Returns already received
at the Department show a greater decrease in
the acreage than the report issued last month,
and it is believed that the lowest estimate al
ready given of the yield of the cotton crop for
1871 is not far ont of the way.
Figures show that there is about twenty mil
lions less gold in :he country now than there
was a year ago. Foreign travel on the part of
Americans has a good deal to do with diminish

To successfully get through with it has required
the establishment of agencies throughout the
United States. This has been done; but to ac
complish it, more time has been necessary than at
first supposed. We are now in working order from
New York to San Francisco. The drawing will come
off on AUGUST 31st, withont faiL By that date,
we will have realized our most sanguine expecta
tions. and will render the pubhc that satisfaction
we have always designed to give. Our offices
everywhere will continue open until then.
