Uemotino tue Catital.—There was a capital
removing meeting in St. Lonis last week where
at two apeeohes wore made—two letters read
and two resolutions adopted. The Now York
Commercial Advertiser says “forty centuries
will look down upon the Federal capitol before
its domo will lift itself above Ibe Western prio
ries. That’s a mistake; but the decision of the
point is too remote to bet on.
Taxis, Taxes.—A contributor to tbe Atlantic
Monthly shows from tho official returns of the
Treasury Department thst daring the year end
ing December 31, 1870, the government col
lected from tbo oountry $109,208,833. As the
census puts the gsnersl population at 38,300,.
000, each man, woman and child paid, in taxes
for 1870, $10 C2, in addition to the amount paid
to the State and local governments, and tbe ten
fold greater amounts wormed ont of the people
as a bounty to the manufacturers.
The Boston Traveller (Bad.) has the follow
ing!
To show Mr. Sumner's opinion of General
Grant we have to repeat what be baa said on
more than one occasion: “General Grant," he
aays, "is tho lowest man who ever sat in the
Presidential chair; lower intellectually than
Andrew Johnson; lower morally than Franklin
Fieroe—and lower socially, because in private
life Mr. Fierce »u a Gentleman.” This la the
exact language used by Mr. Stunner, who does
not hesitate frankly to cay that General Grant
ahonld be impeached for his conduct towards
Santo Domingo.
Last Week’s Cotton Fionas, according to
the Commercial and Financial Chronicle, sho'
42,481 bales receipts at all the ports np to that

comparative footing np is as follows
1871.

to her by the prisoners, and to the burning of
tho abstracted vouchers. Tbe two men were
arraigned before Justice Dowling and Mrs. Hag
gerty before Jnstioe Led with, and were severally
committed for examination this evening. Mr.
John Graham has been engaged as oonnsel for
all tbe prisoners. Abont 6 o’clock last evening
the Comptroller and Jndges Barrett and Beach,
while searching the apartments of the Haggerty*
in the new Court-house, discovered the hal’f-
charred remains of the stolen vouchers.
What a frightful thing it would be if “Mas
sachusetts were lost to the Bepublicans? We
reckon the son would refuse to rise—the oocks
would not crow in the morning, and the oowa
give skim milk. Bat the staid old Boston Ad
vertiser ssys that Bntler's conreo will, like
enough, result in that horrid catastrophe, and
he also demands of General Grant to lay aside
his cigar and answer, like a man, “does he sup
pose that the great Bepublican party—the party
of high moral ideas—can really stand the strain,
the nomination of inch a man aa Boiler will
pat upon it?” And if not, what in tbe world
has got into Grant to be backing Butler? Now,
the Advertiser has never “traveled down Booth, ”
and don't know what strains, in the way of ras
cality, the party of high moral ideas can stand.
It if a tough old craft, and has been sailing the
stormy seas of fraud, corruption and misrule
for fifteen years, and has never started a plank
> far as we can see. Massachusetts will not
only stand it, bnt will be sure to have tbe heavi
est freight aboard of anybody, and underwrite
the wbolo adventure.
Counsel :o I’rosecute tlio Slate Itoatl
Ksllsrs.
We aee it stated that General Toombs, who
is volunteer oonnsel to prosecute the State Boad
raiders, declines to acoept any remuneration,
whatever, from any quarter, for his serrioea.
This is just what we expected of him. Be is
working for the people and the people's inter,
eats, and as they are, just now, in the condi
tion of the man who fell among theivea and was
stripped of all his clothes, besides being sorely
beaten and bruised, he very naturally concludes
they arc in no position to fee counsel to prose
cute tbe theivea. Whatever General T.’s faults
may be, no man can question his intense pride
in his State, and love and devotion to its people
and their interests. He may have orred much
in the eonrse of a long political career, bnt
never knowingly, at least, against Georgia and
Georgians. We aro glad to know that be is on the
trail of the robbers, and that it is a labor of love
and not money with him.
It is not for ns to condemn other gentlemen
of the profession who do not take tbe same
view of this question that General T. does.
They are the best judges ol their own business,
of eonrse. Bnt wo express sineere regret that
there are not more of them fonnd agreeing with
General Toombs. From the array of counsel
published as having been retained to assist
Farrow to prosecute tho raiders and make them
disgorge, we greatly fear that all the stolen
property recovered will go for lawyers’ fees,
and tbe people be no richer than if nothing bad
been done. If tho Legislature desires to form
ulate an almost unanimous pnblio thought and
desire, it will, daring its first week's session,
put an end to all this business of making almost
the entire bar of one section pnblio proseentors
with fat retainers; and if extra counsel are
needed in any legal mailers to which tbe State
si a party, they will see to it that such counsel
reoeive reasonable pay, and then only fer serv
ices actually rendered. It will put an cud to,
and condemn, aa it deserves, tho shamcfnl prac
tice inaugurated by Bollock of allowing men
who don’t know tho difference between a cer
tiorari and » scire facias to fill their pockets
from the pnblio treasury under tho guiso of extra
oonnsel for the State.

Tbe Tidal Wave Netxb Predicted.—The
Wilmington Journal contains Mine interesting
correspondence about the “tidal wave." Walter
Griswold, U. S. Assistant Engineer of the Cape
Fear BiTer Improvements, writes Prcfesscr
Agassis at Cambridge (September 16th) inquir
ing if be ever made any such prognostication.

The Vouchee Thieves —The World of Pri.
day ssys:
The oity was startled yesterday to learn that
the persons who carried off the vouchers from
the Comptroller's office had been discovered and
arrested. The alleged robbers proved to Be
Edwin M. Haggerty, janitor of the new Court
house, formerly a member of the Board of
Conncilmen; Mrs. Haggerty, his wife; and
Charles ltAnlcli, captain of the watch of the new
Court-house. The nrreaU were made on the
affidavit of a servant girl in the employ of the
Haggerty s, who testified to a confession made
The Three Million Hales Humbug.
The New Orleans Pieayune has been informed,
by a gentleman who has just returned from an
extended tour in overy Southern State east of
the Mississippi Bivor, that Ibis is one of the
worst years for ootton he has ever known. In
somo places it is so stunted ono must get down
on bis knees to pick it. Tbe crop along the Al
abama Biver—and be has seen the conntry-on
both sides—be pronounces miserably poor; and
bis general conclusion is that even had there
been no floods, no worms nor devastatingstorms
this Reason, the cotton would still fall very far
below the average yield. Ho estimates the
coming crop at abpnt 2,250,000 boles. The
Picayune's informant is neither bayer, seller
nor planter.
In corroboration of which tbo Montgomery
Advertisor, of Friday, prints the following let
ler written from New Orleans on tbe 20th by
ono of the largest and best known cotton factors
in tbe United States.
‘■Tho worms have commenced work in earnest
on a large majority of tbe plantations below
Natchez, both on the river and bills, and a gen
eral destruction of tbe crop seems inevitable.
Bed Biver lands appear equally nnfortnnate.—
Wo have letters from a planter on Bod Biver,
some hundred miles above Alexandria, saying
that nntil the last two weeks his crop was tbe
best ho ever saw, bnt now was without a leaf or
yonng boll to be fonnd. In view of these facts
it would seem impossible for the crop to reach
3,000,000 bales and may fall greatly short of
that point.”
It will be remembered that tho bears have
all along been swearing that the Bed Biver
oonntry was making an immense orop, which
bubble is effectually pricked as above. The
crop, everywhere, seems to bavo met with dis-
aster.
"llcwnre ot Uio Bears!”
The last we heard of onr worthy colleague,
Col. H. H. Jones, he was backed np in one
corner of the Cotton Exchange in New York
fighting the ootton bean. This was abont 12
o'clock last Friday noon. The Colonel was sore
beset, bnt stood bis gonnd tooth and nail He
was insisting on abont half of last year's crop,
and they were vowing that there would be at
least a fall crop and a half. The Colonel was
expatiating and they were pooh-fooing, at a
feai ful rate! Do yon mean, Sir, to assert grave
ly, in this oompany, Sir, that there will be only
half a orop of cotton made this year, Sir ? “Well,
gentlemen, that is the opinion I have formed
after careful observation and enquiry, aided by
the experience of many years as a cotton-grower.
My opinion is, this has been the most unfavor
able ootton year within the range of my per
sonal knowledge; end if the crop overgoes one-
half of last year's product, it has got to do it
per force of favorable conditions yet to be de
veloped. I look for m ire than a million and a
half falling off from lart year's crop.” This
was “cold pizen” to the bears. They oonld not,
and would not Bland it. It was not the right
kind of talk, and we snspeet they gave him hot
ooffee and an oyster stew to stop his month.
Train Stoitxd dt a NzoboMob.—The Vicks
burg Herald, of the 16th, is informed that the
down passenger train on the Mississippi Central
Railroad, the day before, was stopped at Grena
da, by a band of negroes, for what purpose it
is not known. The road has lately discharged
the negro brakesmen on the passenger trains,
and pat white men in their places, and it is sup
posed to have been the discharged negroes who
made the row. They were armed, as onr in
formant tells ns, with both dabs and pistols,
and attempted to force their way into the sleep
ing coach, when the brakesman fired into them,
wounding one, when the others retired, and
the train prooeeded on its way.
Anfler's Bombshell.
The following is the full text of Treasurer
Angier’a last manifesto, mention of which was
made in onr telegraphio oolumn of Sunday:
State Tbeasdeeb's Office,*
Atlanta, Go., September|23, 1871. )
Whereas, Paragraph 75, of the Code of Geor
gia, provides, “The Governor shall reside at the
seat of gotemmesst daring his term of office,”
Whereas, Bnfns B. Bollock, the Governor of
Georgia, bos been remote from tbe “seat of
government,” even from the State of Georgia,
for nearly three months, and no one in the State
Department, not even his private secretaries,
know where he is, or the time of his return, and
the law requiring the approval and signature of
the Governor to all Executive warrants on the
State Treasury :
The Treasurer deems it his duty to give
notice that from this lime no warrants on the
State Treasury will be paid by the Treasurer,
without a resident Governor to approve them,
exoept those on the Civil Establishment and
Special Appropriations—the law in these esses
specifying the amount. N. L. Asoms,
State Treasurer.

THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Hr. D. J. Dickinson, for more than thirty
years a citizen of Bainbridge, died last Wednes
day.
The Episcopalians of Bainbridge aro prepar
ing to build a church.
Wo dip the following from the Atlanta Con
stitution, of Sunday:
The State Boad ItcvEsnoanoN —The State
Boad investigation waxes lively. Tbe legal
proceedings instituted against the three highly
respectable gentlemen, Messrs. Bedwme, Raw-
son and Hammock, by air. McCalla, for certain
ipers in their possession, fonnd among the
ate Boad documents and alleged to be Mc-
Calla’s private papers,forma a nioe liule episode,
that may amount to nothing or something.
Copies of the disputed papers will be fonnd in
onr local oolumn, in tho report of the proceed
ings of the case.
These papers are important, chiefly as show
ing that Mr. McCalla has been alter 20 per cent,
of the State Bold frauds, and proposes a divis
ion with Major Hargrove; and that Mr. Ben
Conley, of the Board of State Boad Commis
sioners, were willing for the contract to be
made, so far as he had anthority. Whether it
is right for the State to pay this 20 per cent to
salaried men is a question. Whether the Board
of Commissioners meant to give McCalla large
fees for investigating and unearthing matters on
the books, which his official position gave him
knowledge of, is another matter. Whether
this is a test question over unimportant papers
that may, if snecesefnl, embolden an attempt
to get other and more important papers in the
committee’s hands as private papers is still an
other question. Whether this movement of Mr.
McCalls was a big speculation to make a ronnd
sum that the State is entitled to, and which the
State’s officers, if vigilant, could get, is still an
other matter.
Hit.t. County Silver Mine.—We have in our
office a specimen of silver from the Hall oonnty
silver mine. The vein is six miles northeast of
Gainesville, ten feet thick, and has only been
opened twenty feet The assays in the United
States Mint, and by Professors Shepherd and
Hayes, and Dis. Babcock and Jackson, show it
to be worth from §20 to $G0 per ton for silver,
and from §5 to $40 for gold. The highest as
say was §2,176 per ton, and the general avenge
$2 per ton greater than tho Comstock lode in
Nevada, which last year yielded twelvo million
dollars. The mine belongs to Mr. A. II. Cochran.
IsiroETANT Papers Missing.—Wo learn thst
there are several important papers missing from
the documents of the State Boad, among which
aro certain papers in the case of Mrs. Beck’s
claim, and a voucher signed by James Spronll
last year for $1,500. James Spronll died, it is
said, in January, 1866.
Mr. Walton Grimsley, an old and greatly es
teemed citizen of Early county, died last week,
sged67 yean.
Macon county has a large crop of chill and
fever on hand, at present.
Mr. James Bussell, Superintendent of Pnblio
Works, at Savannah, baa been missing since
last Tuesday.
George Wilson, from Illinois, bnt recently in
the employ of the Atlantic and Gnlf Railway,
died in a wagon at the depot of that road, at
Savannah, on Friday night.
We find the following items in tho Cnthbert
Appeal, of Saturday:
Onn Railroads.—The opinions held by people
in these parts in regard to the Brunswick and
Albany, and Bainbridge, Cnthbert and Colum
bus Railroads, are as varied as the colors of
Joseph’s coat. And most people are as much
puzzled to know bow “things will finally work
out” as they coaid well be. It is held by some
that both roads will rnn on tbo samo bed from
Carter’s Mill to Spring Vale. Others think this
joint arrangement will only be to Cathbert;
and yet others—and we might say a very large
number—believe that notwithstanding the
pledges to the contrary, Uto Brunswick and Al-
bany Road will never come nearer this eity
than Carter’s. This latter opinion is strength
ened by tho positive assertion of some that a
portion of the grading between that point and
Cnthbert is on tho narrow guago order. We are
informed that all the work now being done on
tho Bainbridge, Cathbert and Colombns Road
is for a narrow gnago road.
Ktmuat.t. Currency.—Several of onr mer
chants refused to take Brunswick and Albany
Railroad money lost week, for the reason that
its redemption bad been stopped, both here and
in Atlanta. We were shown a telegram from
Atlanta, to one of onr merchants, who had sent
a lot of it to that eity. stating that it was impos
sible to get greenbacks for it Parties in At
lanta who had been receiving it from onr mer
chants for goods also telegraphed that no more
of it would be received by them.
Bio Snakes.—David Henry, frocdmnn, killed
a rattlo-snako inside the incorporate limits of
this city, a few days ago, having fifteen rattles.
It was something over four feet long, and as
large as a man's thigh.
We also learn that Mr. Prichard killed a pa
triarch of the rattle snake species in Clsy county
last week, with eighty-three yonng snakes; the
yonng being from four to five inches in leDgtb.
Ho says tbe skin, after being token off held
three pecks of meal. This is a pretty good
showing in tho way of “snaiz.”
Ssys tbe Colombns Enquirer, of Sunday:
Excitement in Girard.—A black, sneaking
negro man has been prowling around Girard for
a week or two past, committing divers offences,
snch as rnnning down and frightening colored
women, obtaining goods nnder false pretenses,
disturbing churches, and tbe like. On Thursday
night he went to the colored church,opened tho
the door, dashed in while the negroes were at
prayer,making sundry threats of what he intend
ed to do. He was arrested by tbe negroes and
was yesterday morning taken before Justice
Harris, where he was convicted of the last named
offerse, and sont to jail. The negro says he
was once a waiter at Brown’s Hotel in Macon,
was afterwards a reporter for one of the
papers, and in view of his talents was sent to
Girard by Gen. Meade to take the place of Jcs-
t ice Ryder. He is nndonbtedly an unmitigated
“blow-h-rd” and rascal. His cose caused a good
deal of exoitement among the negroes.
Under date of September 21st, a Sandersville
correspondent of the Savannah News, writes as
follows:
Tbeerteof Dr. Vi. Vi. Cair, for killing Seaton
DnBiguon (Grantland,) his son-in-law, war
brought to Sandersville for a commitment trial
before Judge Twiggs on Wednesday last. The
jury of inquest, held over the body the day after
the killing, rendered a verdict of justifiable
homicide. The relatives of deceased had the
body exhumed at M'lledgeville four days after
interment and examined by the physicians of
tho oity, who, in dissection, traced the eonrse of
the ball. Dr. Case was present as wi.aess for
the State. The only apparent plansible plea
offered by the proseentors was that Mr. G. must
have been shot from the rear, from the eonrse
the ball sped through the body, hence Mr. G.
was not advancing on defendant, and thereby
jeoparding bis life to the extent of his j nstifiably
killing him, Mr. G. Tho defendant's witnesses
(all who saw it) testified that Mr. G. was advanc
ing with pistol pointing at defendant, and in the
position shooting, right side toward defendant,
when the filing took place. The ball passed
through the right arm and through a part
of both longs and the right v, aticle of
the heart, which indicated a very slight tmn
of the body, doubtless made as defendant raised
his gun to fire. The case was very ably argued
by Messrs. Gilmore & Evans, of Sandersville,
tor defendant, and Gen. Wright, of Augusta,
and Mr. Williamson, of Milledgeville, for the
State. The examination of witnesses and plead
ings occupied two days. The Judge did not
find any gnilt. The prisoner wei released from
custody. Dr. Carr is on upright, peaceable
citizen, and has many friends, (as this trial in
dicates by their presenoe) all of whom deplore
fss he does) the killing of Mr. Grantland, yet
freely and folly exonerate him from all blame.
He coaid not have done less and saved his own
life. ’Tis a sad occnrrenoe, that a yonng man
of promise should provoke and urge on a diffi
culty, nntil his life is ent off by the last man
who, willingly, would have sought it.
The red-headed heretie of the Savannah News
ssys “Reese, of the Macon Telegraph, is a
disbeliever in tho P. G. in G.”—which it ain't
so. We are half owner of a two year old who
is, nndonbtedly, that very personage.
We quote, as follows, from tbo Atlanta Son,
of yesterday:
A Man Found Crushed to Death on the State
Boad.—A man by tho namo of Danaway was
fonnd about 11J o’clock Saturday night, jnst be
yond the Bolling Mills, terribly mangled and
dead. The 10) o’clock passenger train from
Chattanooga had passed over him, crashing his
limbs and body fearfully. The general opinion
of his friends and neighbors is that ho was
fonlly dealt with, and placed upon the track af
terwards. He was a hand at the Bolling Mill,
and was not addicted to drinking, and one gen
tleman who saw him bnt a little while before
says be was not at all intoxicated. He was abont
twenty-one years of age, and was a hard worker
and thrifty man. He lived with and supported
a widowed mother, and bore a good character.
The engineer of the outward bound train knew
nothing of it, and every circumstance points to
n daik and bloody murder previous to the ap
proach of the train. Two old negroes who live
near by state that they beard a considerable row
jnst before bis body was fonnd. Detectives
are at work in that neighborhood, and strong
hopes are entertained of terreting ont the mur
derers, it this is one.
An Attempted Outrage nr a Negro.—Wo
learn from passengers who came by the Geor
gia Railroad on Saturday evening, that tho littlo
city ot Madison was considerably agitated, caus
ed by a negro who attemped to outrage a yonng
lady there on last Friday evening, and tho enh-
sequent appearance in town that night cf a body
of men who avowed a determination to summa
rily deal with the ruffian. It appears that the
negro was arrested and put in jail, and when
the party of avengers came to town that night
the jailor oonld not be found, and therefore
they failed in securing the kejs to the jaiL
Great apprehensions were entertained by the
citizens thst the pariy weald return on the fol
lowing (Saturday) night, force tho jail, if neo-
essary, and take the negro away. Wo will, no
donbt, get farther news from that place daring
the day.
A Trip to (lie North.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger-. Having
just returned from a brief business tour to New

clusions gathered during my visit.
I went the western route, and leaving Atlanta
on the morning train I arrived at Chattanooga
at 4 p. m Having five honrs to remain in the
city,my friend, Tomlinson Fort, Esq., formerly
cf Milledgeville, Ga., took me ont to see this
yonng anil rapidly improving city. It is sur
prising to witness tbe rapid strides that are be
ing made here, and it bids fair to be the Pitts
burg of the S-iu h There are the extensive
Roore IroD Works for mannfictnring railroad
fish bar iron rails, the Yalean Works for making
merchantable bar iron, Bromley <fc Evans’ car
wheel factory and Thomas Webster & Co.’s
foundry and machine shop. Besides there are ex
tensive establishments for manufacturing leath
er, and articles of various kinds in wool. There
is a largo new hotel built by J. C. Stanton at a
cost of abont $200,000 and having all the mod
ern conveniences. I also noticed a number of
new blocks of buildings going np in various parts
of the city. Chattanooga bids fair to be one of
onr most important cities. Mr. Fort informed
me that there is quite a demand forcity property
^ood prices.
assing rapidly through Nashville, Louisville
and Cincinnati, I took a palace sleeping car from
tbe Utter eity to PhiUdelphia, and had a most
delightful ride over the Pennsylvania Central.
This road passes over a most beantifnl and pic
turesque country, and amply repays us for the
trip.
Upon my arrival at New York, I fonnd my
friend A. jnst in the act of leaving for CatskiU
Mountains for a day or two, and insisted upon
my going with him. I gladly accepted the in
vitation, ard at 3:20 onr party (Mr. A., Mr. B.
and myself) took the fast train on Hudson
River Railroad for CatskiU landing, and after a
few hoars' ride, daring which we enjoyed 100
miles or more of benntifnl Hudson Biver scene
ry, we arrived at what was once known a9 the
village of Falling Waters, made celebrated by
Irving's legend of “Sleepy Hollow.” From this
point we rede to the foot of the mountain, where
Mr. A.’s family were spending the summer.
After a refreshing sleep in the farm-house of
Mr. Philo Peck, we went with a party to the top
of Catskil] Mountain. Beantifnl cascades, tow
ering hills, picturesque coves, and delightful
views of surrounding country. The view from
the CatskiU Mountain House is enchanting be
yond anything we ever conceived. As far as
the eyo can reach are to be seen rolling streams,
handsome cottages and fertile farms. It is a
joy to behold all this beantifnl scenery. On
onr way down (ho mountain, we passed through
the Sleepy HoUow, and had pointed ont to ns
the very stone upon which Bip Van Winkle is
said to have slept his twenty years’ sleep.
Returning to New York, I spent two weeks in
business circles. One from the South, where
money is scarce and times bard, is amazed at
tho wonderful prosperity of this Northern clime.
The people seem to have more money than they
know what to do with. All the time you see
evidences of this fact—in the pulling down of
old houses which are reaUy fine to put in their
places new and more costly structures—in the
handsome equipages to be seen on Broadway,
and in tbo various pubUc drives. These people
seem to be without fear for tho future, as they
spend money with an unsparing hand. I said
so s gentleman who was speaking of the large
turns of money lying nninvested in New York:
“Why don’t you send it down Sonth where
money is so scarce and where money brings
such heavy interest?” His reply was, “We are
afraid of the Sonth. Your people aro not set
tled, and we fear that investments made would
not bo secure.” Want of faith in the Sonth
keeps hundreds of capitalists from coming
among ns. This want of faith is groundless,
and grows of want of knowledge. They don’t
understand ns. Oh that the time would come
when the Sonth can bo properly understood
among the people of the North. Northern men
who come here toeholp build np the Sonth will
always meet a hearty welcome, and will find
their investments profitable. Let us encourage
such ventures, and we shall benefit onr country,
and bring among ns many good citizens. B.
