is a fact significant of bad taste and low morals
that Butler appears to bo by far the most popu
lar man in the State of Massachuaitln. The
State is fairly aflame in the grand qnarrcl.—
Campaign songs, handbills, cartoons and carri-
oaturea of all sorts are thick as autumn leaves.
A Boston dispatch of Sunday night, in the
Herald, olaims a majority of delegates for But
ler, and prints the following general order to
delegates:
Our enemies, and tho enemies of good gov
eminent and the people, presuming upon toe
force of money, have threatened through their
journals to prolong the sitting of the Conven
tion, in hopes to tire out good men and weary
them in well doing. Let every Butler delegate
go to the Convention with three day's rations,
and by that time our supplies will come up. By
order of tho Butler Committee.
The Convention met yesterday, and we shall
at least have a note of progress to-dsy. The
quarrel is a prefly ono as it stands, and we hope
will result in a general explosion.
Tnx Fixer. Exmosiox at TIili, GITA —Is tho
reader is aware, U. B. engineers are engaged in
deepening the passage between Long Island
Bound and the Hudson river, called “Hell
Gate," which is now obstructed by a great
ledge of quarts rock about 800 feet wide, and
tlOO feet into tho river. When this is removed
and a channel affording twenty-five or thirty
feet of wator is obtained, it is supposed tost
most of the foreigu trade of New York will
enter and loave that port by way of Hell Gate
and toe Bound, instead of Bandy Hook.
The plan now in progress for the removal of
this groat ledge is a daring and efficient one.
Fits have been sunk near the margin of toe
river to the depth of thirty-two feet below its
bed. From toe bottom of these pits wide gal
leries are drilled and bleated out directly under
toe ledge, and leaving only enough of it to form
a roof. When these shall have crossed the
ledge, transverse passages will be drilled and
blasted, leaving the roof to be supported by pil
lars left at intersections. The Grand Finale
was thus explained by General Newton, who is
the engineer inobarge, to a party of officers
who visited toe work last Saturday and were
stunned by a grand feu de joie of nitro-glyce-
rene explosions let off at the time. Said Gen.
Newton :
“What will the noise be when, after we have
excavated the entire distance, cut all the cross
aeotious, reduced all the columns to the mini
mum sixe, we blow toe whole three acres of rook
up at the same moment?” The General here
explained that when the pillars bad been re-
duoed to the smallest possible size consistent
with safety they would be bored or “noney-
eomed," and the apertures filled with nitro-gly-
oerine. These would be all connected with eleo-
trio wires j the water will be let into all the pas
sages and cover everything completely; then
the battery will fire the whole mass at the same
instant and the entire mass of rock, now an ob
struction to the oommerce of the city of Now
York, will sink down into the alleys cut beneath,
and a splendid navigable passtge will be left
for the shipping. “We have now been a little
over two veers, said the General, “but if Con
gress would only let us have toe necessary mon
ey to carry it out as a private exterpnse would
bo conducted, we ahonld soon hare toe Disease
cleared and this fearful obstruction sunk doro
oat of all danger."
Judge Keese, or Wilkes. for Presi
dent ol tlio Semite.
We are rejoiced to see tho prers of Georgia
almost^ if not quite, unanimous in furor of
Jodgo William Reese for President of the Sen
ate. This is always an important office, but at
this time ii likely to be much more ' important,
from the probability that on the President of
toe Senate will devolve the duties of the State
Executive for the next two years, for we verily
believe the next Legislature, in spite of all the
pleading* of Bullock’s proclamation editors,
will do themselves toe honor of impeaching toe
present incumbrance. We know Judge Reese
■ a modest man, but surely his modesty will
not justify him in refusing a position to which
the united voice of the people have called him.
If Judge Reese is called from the eastern part
of toe State to preside over the Senate, it will
be every way proper to take toe 8peaker of the
House from the western, if there is in that 803-
tion a member every way qualified for the c f-
fioe. Happily we have the very man needed, in
Smith, of Muscogee. No better man than he
can bo found. He is emphatically the right
man in the right place. Let him be elected
Speaker and a*! the people will say amen.
We find the above in the Federal Union, of
Tuesday. The Union is in error as to the ex
piration of Bullock's term of office, and there
fore as to toe period of occupancy of the Exec
utive Chair by his successor in case of his im
peachment by the Legislature. His term of
office rightfully expires on the 4th of July, 1872,
he having boon inaugurated July 4th, 1868, but
the election for his successor does not occur
until the November following, under the law as
it nowstands, and consequently he will be Gov
ernor until that time. If, therefore, he is removed
by impeachment, his successor, the President
of toe Senate, will only hold possession of the
Gubernatorial chair for one, instead of two
yean.
As to whether thero are entirely tenable
grounds upon which to base impeachment—not
a mere attempt thereat—ne do not know potd
i lively. We have heard that some very thought
ful, earnest Democrats—men of much repute
and weight in too counsels of toe party—think
n>.t sufficient evidence to convict has not, as
pet, been developed, but that there is a strong
probability toat a searching, honest investiga
tion of the State Road, State bonds and other
matters opnnected with the administration of
Btato affairs for toe past fonr years, would put
the question beyond peradventnre. The sound
ness of that opinion, of course, is to be tested
by actual investigation.
One thing, however, seems very clear to our
mind : That an Impeachment without the clear
est and most impregnable proof of guilt on the
part of the person whose conviction is sought,
would be worse than a crime. It would be a
blunder of toe hugest proportions and most
dangerous character, which could not fail to
react most disastrously upon the Democracy not
only of this, but other States. If the J>gisla-
luro should determine to impeach Bullock, let it
feel and know, as did toe old woman who had
actually buried her husband, that it has “a dead
sure thing.”
Upon the 'general question of the entire
fitness of the gentlemen named by the Fed.
eral Union for too respective offices of President
of the Senate and Speaker of the House. We
do not feel called on to express any opinion be
yond adding our endorsement of the good words
spoken by our contemporary. If their fellow-
memliers see fit thus to honor the gentlemen
named, wo shall feel entirely satisfied that they
havo made wise selections, and that results will
most convincingly demonstrate that fact. But
the Teleouaph axd Mnsoras* lias no special
candidates for either position. Its motto is
May the best men win—and its pledge is to
support them in all their endeavors to advance
the interests and promote the welfare of Geor
gia and her people.
Fooliab and Mischievous Programme
A correspondent of tho Atlanta Daily Sun
signing himself “Titus” whom that paper un
derwrites as “one of the first men in Georgia,
lays out a programme for the approaching ses
sion of the Legislature, some part of which we
do not except to, but we hope and trust no man
in the Legislature will be controlled by the fol
lowing suggestion:
2. As a matter of principle, wo will not tako
into consideration the question of eligibility.
Wo believe the people of Georgia are pretty well
united in their endorsement of Mr. Stephens’
programme, which is to insist npon all of our
cuuBliluLlunal rlglita. Wo hAVO oloclodSenators.
and they have been wrongfully and unconstitu
tionally rejected. To sand those who have been
made eligible—merely because they are eligible
—would be begging tho question, and an. ad
mission that Congress has the right to make
eligible or ineligible our Representatives and
Senators. It would be a “departure.” It would
be “acquiescing in and accepting” the fraudu
lent and illegal ruliDgs of CoDgrtss. Let us be
consistent in all things.
We should think the fate of North Carolina
and Zebulon B. Vance would bo sufficient illus
tration of the folly and impracticability of toe
course recommended. The Democrats of Geor
gia owe it to themselves and tho country to se.
lent a good and safe man for the Senate of tho
United States, possessing too qualifications for
seat in toat body.

son,* a prominent commission merchant in Mo

ion the cotton crop of 1671-2 will not amount to
more than 2,500,000 bales. He tUnks the Bu
reau reports of large crops will do good, as the
Northern and English spinners, believing them,
will go on consuming the stocks they have on
hand and those in Liverpool and other large
ports in which the planter has no interest; and
later in the fall, when tho condition of the yield
will be almost exactly known, their demand
will cause prices to spring upward. The farm
ers then will receive the benefit.
This opinion, from the Southern stand-point,
appears a very correct one. Tho Montgomery
Advertiser tells of a bull in that city who was
weeping so as to be inoontrollable, because he
saw no ohanoe of cotton going higher than sixty
cents per pound.

A Mobile ootton factor writes the Tribune of
that city as follows:
There is no reason to apprehend a permanent

well informed man in the South who does not
know that the inooming crop will fall from
twelve to fifteen hundred thousand bales abort
cf that of last season, which amounted to 4,-
352,000 bales. We have seen that it baa nearly
aU been consumed, and there is now a very light
stock of manufactured goods on toe markets of
the world. With money at low rates in Enrop*
and New York, a general peace prevailing, and
the increase of over five millions of spindles in
operation, ta it extravagant to say cotton will
command twenty-five cents or more before the
season cloaca?
\ repeat, if planters will 6hip only enough
o meet their engagement* with factors who
*" u>,lko their crops—and will
withhold the remainder from market—they will
nnlorth^ZT 1 ™ sufficient to make
np for toe short crop. By this means they will

Tfie Sandersville Georgian prints a synopsis
of the testimony taken in the Carr-Grantland
ease before Judge Twiggs last week, which
trial, as baa been already announced, resulted
in a verdict of justifiable homicide. We quote
follows:
Dr. George D. Case, of Mtiledgeville, was put
npon the stand. We deem it unnecessary to
give toe Doctor’s testimony in detail, as to lo
cation of wound, condition of body when
opened, etc., and shall give only toe portion
npon which toe prosecution relied. It fell to
Dr. Case’s lot to open toe body and make the
examination, five other physicians assisting.
It was his opinion tost from the nature and
size of tho wound, the bill passing through toe
middle lobe of right lung, the anterior wall of
the right auricle of the heart and throngh tho
anterior part of the upper lobe of left lung,
death must have ensued almost instantly. This
was simply his opinion. Deceased might have
lived half a minute, and if at the time of re
ceiving the wound he was running, he might have
run five or six steps—as far as a man conld run
in half a minute—bnt would think he would
have fallen very soon. Had he fallen in his
tracks did not think he conld have risen again.
The Doctor believed toe person shooting fired
from the rear, slightly obliquely. Conld not
say what toe position of deceased might have
been a moment before; he might have wheeled
suddenly. The Doctor admitted that from read
ing authorities since the examination in Mil-
ledgeville, his mind had somewhat changed.
There were cases npon record where persons
bad been wounded in the heart and lived for
days, some for years; but none where the
wound was of the size of this and through toe
auricle of the heart.
The defence having admitted ihe identity of
the body, toe next important witness was Mrs.
Wadsworth. She was at Dr. Carr’s the day of
the killing. Asked Dr. 0. to send her home.
Told her he wonld after breakfast. Got ready
and Dr. O. not appearing, she wont into the
hall and met him. Told her that Seaton bod
made a fuss about the buggy and she was at an
end. Asked her if she wonld ride in an ambu
lance. She would if safe. The Doctor went
ont at tho gate. Mr. Grontland came out of
Mrs. G.’s room, appeared to be in a harry.
Said he wonld see her safe home. Told Mrs.
Care he wonld famish buggy if she would fur
nish the mules. He went out at gate and in the
same direction Dr. C. had gono. Dr. O. came
back and went into his room, staid abont a min-
nte and camo ont. Said I would be carried
borne safely, that Seaton bad taken the matter
in hand. Walked with his gnn by his side, his
hand npon it Think gnn was not cocked. As
he got abont the bottom step he said, yon are
going to shoot me, eh ? throwed np his gnn
and fired. Did not near Grantland answer.
Conld not see him at the time. Saw him run
ont at the gate after he was shot Had a pistol
in one hand and his band npon his breast. She
went to where Mr. Grantland was lying; saw
pistol abont fonr feet from him. The defence
introduced three of tho servants who testified
very clearly for people of toeir class. The man
testified that ha was at the carriage bonse pre
preparing to hitch the mules to too ambulance as
directed by Dr. Carr. Mr. Grantland came and
ordered the buggy instead. Wascxcited. Hadon
a pistol. Dr. O. said nothing but went off toward
house. After he was gono a short time, Grant-
land said, I’ll kill the damned son-of-a-biteb.
Drew his pistol and went toward house. After
a short time heard report of gun and ball Btrike
tree. Saw Grantland tunning and saw him fall.
Another servant, a woman, testified that as she
was passing around the bouse she saw Mr. G. ap
proaching rapidly with pistol drawn and cocked.
She was afraid to pass and stopped. Mr. G. did
not seem to see her, bnt waa looking at some
thing before him. She looked under the house
(the house is high off the ground) and saw Dr.
Carr coming down steps. He run down the bot
tom steps, throwed np his gun and fired. Grant-
land ran out at toe gate some distance and felL
Dr. Carr walked out the way Mr. G. ran, cams
back and afterwords went to him. Bose, another
woman, testified that she went to and conversed
with Mr. G., bathed his face and hands, held
umbella over him and stayed with him until he
died. The servants also testified to sending for
physicians and other matters of minor impor
tance. Dr. Mathis fonnd the deceased dead. The
Dr. described wounds, etc., fonnd pistol near
by cocked. ’Twas fall of dirt, as if it had
been dropped. It was also developed in the
trial that Mr. Grantland had threatened Dr.
Carr’s life before. Bnt we desist The “start
ling developments” to be made were toat
the facts were at variance with science. Mr.
Grantland did run sixty or seventy yards after
be waa shot, lived from 30 to 60 ruinates, spoke
and made fonr attempts to rise, as was proven
beyond donbt

worth, whose cbeerfnl and pleasant counte
nance reflected its sparkling beams npon his
oompanion and Major Bill Napier, whom tbay
met. After an exchange of the ordinary salu
tation of the day, Mr. Warren remarked to
Major Napier that he never saw him at his
church, but says he, “I need not have said that
for I have heard that yon only go to bear such
big preachers as the great and good Bishop
Pieroo,” to which the Major replied: “ You
know that I appreciate your rare virtues as a
guitleman, and toe whole State concedes yonr
great worth as an expounder of the Divine
law, bnt there is thia difference between ns,
that whilst we both want to go to heaven, I go
by land and yon by water.
Mr. B. G. Stern, a well known merchant of
Columbus, died last Satnrdsy night, aged sixty
years.
The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Tuesday, in
an article beaded “Reform the Judiciary” ar
gues that toe Legislature must necessarily take
into early and serious consideration the present
condition of onr State Jndid&ry, and more es
pecially the Circuit Courts. It thinks that there
are twice as many circuits as are necessary for
toe business of the country, and that instead of
nineteen circnits there should be only ten, and
that to secure the best legal talent toe salaries
should be fixed at $4,000 instead of $2,500 as
now. As thero are now nineteen judges at
$2,500 each, making $47,500 aggregate, the
change wonld result in a saving to the Stale of
$7,500.
We quote the following from the Atlanta Con
stitution, of yesterday:
Axbxst or A Hcbdxxeii.—Yesterday Captain
Skilea, United States detective, arrested in this
city a man named Edward Hilton, charged with
killing a Mr. Barks,
justly one of toe most broken counties in Mid
dle Georgia. The Directors are evidently bent
on completing the twenty miles necessary lo
secure State aid before the Legislature assem
bles in November.
Cotton—Opinions differ widely'as to the
crop, compared with last year, all toe way from
one fourth to three-fourths. The estimate we
made a few weeks since, of a half crop, we are
satisfied will not oome V6ry wide of the mark.
The Empire Warehouse received 445 bales last
year, np to September 26 h, against 115 bales
to the same date tbie wanon.
A Danoebocs Chauacykb —Mr. V. T. Lass ter
informs ns that Green Mayfield, alias McGee,
a daxperate negro wao»e hiun's arc in the upper
portion of this county and the lower part of
Butts, his somewhat changed his programme,
from hog and poultry stealing to house bre aking.
Mr. Laseter met him in the road near his resi
dence last night, when the outlaw shot at him
several times. Mr. L. returned the fire, and
the negro escaped in a dense wood.
Rate or Taxation.—We alluded in our last
issne to the probable rate of taxation in this
county for the current year. It ia now evident
that the authorities intend to create another
‘ ‘sinking” fond. The official order calls for two
hundred and fifty per cent, on the State tax; or
in other words, $10 on the $1,000. The State
tax is 40 cents on the $100.- Thus it will be
seen the tax payers of the connty have to ante
to the tune of $14 on the $1,000.
