Onto.—The New Orleans l'icayuno, of Sat urday, says: It seams to be considered a* probable that toe Radicals will elect toeir Governor in Ohio, but that toe Legislature will be Bemocratie, thus securing a Democratic suocemor to Senator Sherman.

The election law is enacted expressly for swindling. The polls are kept open live days, and then the li*ls are sent np to the Secretary of Stale at Austin to be re- tinkered. Thi* interesting process called an election begin* next Tuesday, but we are unable to nay when it will end. Tn* But lx* Oami-aigm.—Thi* edition of the Txx.xoatrn will doubtless tell us something about too great “Bold Ben Butler Fight' Massachusetts* Our last represented Ben as bolding 432 out of l.Ofil votes of the delegates elect to the Springfield Convention. But that makes him far the strongest individual candi date before that body, and undoubtedly the dispatch emanates fnffh anli-Butlar sources. 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. •A. F.

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. Savannah Coxsebtatoby or Mcaio.—Profes sor Pvnfie’d, graduate of tho Leipzig Conserva tory of Musie, established last year a musical institution of high chsracter, which bears the endorsement of maDy of toe leading citixens of Savannah.

We find the following telegrams to toe Wes tern Press, in ths Nashville Union and American of Tuesday: Cleveland, September 25.—Easy Roberts is arrested at Saltneville, Ohio, Saturday, by an officer of the secret service, for passing counterfeit money. A considerable amount of counterfeit twos on the Ninth National Bank of New York was fonnd on his person. Roberts is the superintendent of one of the extensive ooal mines operated by the Cleveland Iron Company. He is wealthy, an active Radical, and was prominent in the community for his zeal in the cause of religion and kindred virtues. BUXDAT AS A POLITICAL ISSUE. Cincinnati, September 25.—Of thirteen Dem ocratic legislative candidates in this county in- car " terrogated by the Arbelter Hall party on repeal of the State Sunday and temperonoe laws, seven have pledged to repeal, fire decline, and one Judge Spencer, announces himself signally against repeal. All the Republican candidates have declined to make pledges. THE JOKE OP THE SEASON.

New Yoke, September 25.—Several gentle men from Louisiana, temporarily stopping in thia city, have received dispatches stating that yellow fever is now raging at New Orleans. Among the victims of this terrible disease is State Senator Peck.- The Cotton Prospects. A Mobile ootton factor writes the Tribune of that city as follows: There is no reason to apprehend a permanent decline in ootton this season. There U no 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.

Ban dy, Macon, are held for postage in toe Savannah offioe. When Savannah ladies whose families are suffering from fever remonstrate against so called serenades at a late hoar of the night, ye gentle minstrels tell them “to draw in their mugs, and stop np their hearers." The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Tuesday, says it has been informed that toe Baptists of Augusta have purchased a Urge lot on Telfair street, for the purpose of building thereon a theological seminary at a eoet of $25,000 or $30,000. Three wild cats were captured in Buffalo Swamp, Washington county, last week. Mr. Wm. Bolinoan, of Washington comity, died last Sunday, of heart disease. Rev. T. J. Camming has resigned the pas torate of toe Baptut church, at Sandersvilie, and is succeeded by Rev. E. C. Thomas. 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 Only 26D persons have registered for tho No vember mnnicipal election in Augusta, of which nmnbor only a very small population ore ne groes. It rained so at Savannah, on Monday, that the Democrats didn't hold their open-air meet ing to nominate mnnicipal officers. Ur. Jas. Russell, whose mysterious disappear ance from Savannah, we noticed yesterday, has tamed np all right. Fntnam Superior Court was in session lost week. Several negroes were found guilty of as sault with intent to murder on the day of the election riot in August, but toe J adge has not yet sentenced them. Speaking of the Democratio success at tho election for Tax Collector in Baldwin county, last week, the Federal Union, of Tuesday, says: This election satisfies us that a very large nnmber of tho colored voters have broken down the power of the nnion league here, which was mn by two or three colored men for their own interests only, and that of some scalawags who wish to use the oolored men to enable them to get office. The sime paper telb the following anecdote: In the city of Macon, some time in April last, that able and meritoriously popular min ister of the Baptist denomination, Rev. E. VT. Warren, in company with Mr. Watt Hollings 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. ATTENTION, LAWYERS! w*.
