iV i .~m ««■> w>B»n«nawMi Telegraph & Messenger. 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. BSgSSS" aggsaigaga !■ i-.mwae 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. Gen. Benning, of Colnmhns, left' home yes terday morning for NY ashington, whither ho has been summoned to testify bofore the K. K. Com mittee. Maj. J. Mott Middleton, a prominent citizen and planter, died at Savannah, last Friday. After yesterday the Savannah banks will close at 1 p. m. until September 1st 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: Eli Wilson, H. J. Beddingfield, Thomas Welch, Jordan Wood, Elisha Dukes, West Meadows, James Welch, W. Peter Smith, Enoch Smith, Ezra New and William Hull, arrested on a warrant issued by United States Commission er A. W. Stone, on complaint of Thomas Pope, for on alleged violation of the Ku-klux act in Washington county, Ga., wore brought before a court of inquiry, composed of United States Commissioners G. L. Lee and H. O. Wayne, for examination yesterday. After hearing the tes timony Peter Smith, Enoch Smith, Ezra New and William Hall, were discharged, the remain der of the party giving bonds in the sum of one thousand dollars each, or a joint bond in the sum of eight thousand dollars, for their appear ance on Monday momiDg, at 10 o’clock. Thomas Simms, a Virginian, passing through Savannah on his way to Jacksonville, fell insen sible in the street, from hemorrhage from an old wound in his side, on Saturday. He receiv ed medical aid, and the hemorrhage was checked. Brother Welliman, one of the shining lights of the Savannah Cnstom House, and a trewly loyl pillar of the institution, being cashier there of, is “short” $11,000. P. S.—His “insanity” is momentarily expected. The Georgia Historical Society, of Savannah, finding their present quarters too small, have fitted up a new building—Armory Hall—in fine style, and moved in Saturday. A so-called white man, who at Savannah, per- provided with a husband, waTenfoey intiTher room a night or two since, and treated to a gen teel conrhutino hj> (fm ,— 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 ing our stock of if. masses PLANTERS, TAKE NOTICE. BA-GON. BACON.
