Wx see a paragraph going the newspaper rounds with exsapomUngregnlarity to the effeot that Jndge tread, of the Georgia Supreme Court, reuently decided so and so. We prooeed te stamp it out by simply remarking that there is no Uesd—we mean a man of that name, of course—on our Supreme Court Benob. Wo think tbe Head in question belongs to some body up in Tennesson. Tux total tobaooo crop of the United States in 1870 was 262,175,341 pounds; in 1860 it was 434,200,461 ponnds; and in 1850 it was 198,- 752,655 pounds. While tho crop was largely more than doubled during the deoada ending with 1860, it decreased nearly a third with the decade ending with 1870. The falling off ia no doubt due largely to tbe sxeiaa tax levied on it during tbe war, and still maintained, whioh dia- eoursgsa the consumption of it. Tux Vibwa Gibls.—Here is a what a corres pondent of the Boston Globe has to say of the Vienna girls: “In faot, under twenty-five there are no ugly ones; while for every third young lady one meets, one's heart jnmpa down into ona’a boots. They are mostly fair, with the clearest of complexions, bountiful hair and kill ing eyes; and the tame remarks apply equally to the servants. I have been iu many oapitals, but I never was so completely prostrated by ap- penrsr.ee aa I am here.” Routed —There were great things expected of the Illinois farmers in tha late jndioial eleo- tions in that State. It was supposed their can didates would sweep tha field, but tha result as far aa heard from is jnst the reverse. In the fifth distriot Chief Justice Lawrenoe was repu diated by the farmers,who put up A. W. MoOraig but Lawrenoe was re-elected by a handsome majority. In tho second district Scholfield de feated tbe farmer’s candidate by a large majori ty. Tbe farmers seem to have been routed at all points, but let them pick their flints and try it again. Death or Stoxiwaix Jaceson's Cowissebt. Major Weils J. Hawks died at his residence In Charlestown, West Virginia, on Wednesday last Major Hawks was a native of Massachusetts, but for more than thirty years he had been a citizen of Virginia. At the commencement of the late civil war be entered the service of the Confederate States, aad upon the promotion of Gan. Jaokson became a member of his staff; commissary respectively of hit brigade, division and corps. It will be remembered that just be fore tbe dasth of Gen. Jackson he was heard to •ay quickly, “A P. Hill, prepare for action; tell Major Hawks to send forward provisions for the troops.” Perhaps tha most comprehen sive description of Major Hawk’s character is embraced in the statement that Gen. Jackson bad entire confidence In him. Dm> of a Baoxxx Hejlxt.—Sentimental yonng ladles can find warrant for a copious flow of tears in this from the Utica Observer of re- oent date: “A sudden death occurred at Op- penheim, Fulton oounty, last night. Within the put year Johans Davis, a stepdaughter of Solomon Cramer, was engaged to be married to a man named Swat wont, who married another weman during the winter. Mira Davis' grief at this disappointment caused serious mental and physical affliction. Last evening her mother and herself saw the jilting lover and his wife pan by the window. The sight seemed to affect Mias Davis, and her appearance attracted her mother’s attention. The young lady, in response to questions and tears, said: ‘Don't svy for me, mother; I ehaii die to-night.’ At 10 T. ic. the girl was a oorpae. Ear death was Paused by • broken heart." and Gnat Canal. Some friend sends us the Boston Journal of Commerce of May 31st, whloh devotes a long and labored editorial leader to black-balling the Atlanta Governors’ Convention and the Atlan tic and Great Western Canal, as a new Credit Mobilier conspiracy and asrindle, which most be defeated at all oosts. The faot it maintains was demonstrated by the failure of the Teiraee- see minority report calling upon tha Qotern- ment to batld tbe canal—a proposition which all tbe friends of the scheme knew would bury It below the hand of resurrection, and was doubtless submitted with that design. Tbe opposition coming from Tennessee is dictated by supposed local interests. They be lieve a route below the line of their State will be detrimental to their trade. On the other hand, the Boston journal of Commerce repre sents hnge moneyed inveetments in Western and Eastern railways, and those raUwsys natn- rally fear the affeet of a new and cheap water route tor twelve months in the year. This is the allf&uoe now in prooeu of con summation to kill the canal and eternalize the bondage of the Western and Sonth6rn producers to exorbitant tariffs resulting from overland transportation—to subsidize both everlastingly to tho railway interest: Now the Southern and Western Farmers compose substantially tha great Agricultural class of the oonutry, before whioh all others pale In numbers and practical financial value. This interest oontrols a voting majority at the ballot box, and It rests with them sione to say whethsr they will suffer themselves to be vie- □mixed in this way, or bring their united energies to the work of self-def*noe and self protection. The cause Is indispensable to their own deliverance and liberty. It means increased trade at paying rates to all tbe wes tern producers and It means comparatively oheap food to tha Southern produoers. It means prosperity to both sections. Will either of them halt or fail to put forward their ut most strength to cany out tha project ? THE SOUTH CAXOUIA BOND MAUDS CONFESSED IS COUET. Comptroller Ho*e Admit* the Existence ® r Vraadalsal Honda, InoaaUar to »7,- 191.700. The Charleston News and Courier publishes one of five returns made by Comptroller Gen eral Hoge to the petition in mandamus filed by Morton, Bliss A Co. Hoge, though a Republican, In bis return says: This respondent further shows and charges that, to tha extent at least of 97,191,700, the aggregate herein above referred to b not the valid debt of the State, and that the bonds enu merated in said report, if outstanding, are to that extent outstanding without the authority of law; and in view Of this condition of the public debt, this oourt, if it have jariedictioa to require this respondent to give notice of a rate per centum to be levied to pay the interest upon the public debt, should not order suoh writ to Issue until an investigation shall first be had to ascertain what portion of the said aggre gate of publio debt subsists as tbe valid debt of tbe State. This is a plain eonfession, and one which in spires the News and Courier to urge the utter repudiation of tha fraudulent bonds. Quarto Newspapers. / S The quarto form of publication has been adopted by dailies in the leading cities (as we suppose) because It Is more convenient to add to that sixe of page the supplementary sheets demanded occasionally by a pressure of news UDd advertising business. It is not so conven ient to the reader as the folio form. Another reason for tbe smeller quarto page may possibly be the greeter oonvenlense of stereotyping—it 1* easier to take a easting of a small than a large page, and tbe dailies of New York print not from type, but from plates. Bat whatever may be the reason, the quarto Is the fashion of the large cities, and the ambition of smaller ones to follow. A quarto form, however, is not neeaesarily an cnl irgti form as to the whole sheet. In the ease of several of the papere whloh have recently adopted it, the result haa been less printed matter. This is tine of the St. Louis Republioan—and also, as we think, of the Bal timore Gazette. The Teuxoboth, in its pres ent size, oonld be made into a formidable quar to with a considerable loss of the matter it now daily prints. It is the largest dally and weekly sheet In Georgia, and oarries a very liberal sup ply of reading matter, whioh we do not oare to boast about. It apeaka for itself, and we know satisfies its numerous readers. We print the weekly in quarto simply because the sheet used is too large to be manageable conveniently ia any other form. But in the use of the quarto there ia a great waate of paper in additional margins, and where the dimensions of the sheet are not necessarily very large the folio newspaper form la far more convenient to the reader. , Batxbridfr, Uuthbert and Colambns Kail road. We aro glad to note some symptoms of re turning life and vigor to this enterprise. The late sale removed all impediments as to pro prietorship, eto., out of the way, and the ener- getio gentlemen who are now interested in the undertaking will doubtless strain every nerve to oomplete it. Already an organization has been effeoted, with Mr. Lowe, of Atlanta, as President, and tbe Savannah Nows and Atlanta Sun speak hopefully of its prospects. It should be borne in mind that tbe road bed has been very nearly oompleted as far as Colquitt, a diatanoe of twenty miles, and much of the other grading botween that point and Onthbert is also well advanced. This is one of the projects also to which the aid of the State is pledged, and as eoou ss the first twenty miles hava been put in running order, the owners will call for the first instal ment of 915,000 per mile in bonds of the State, whioh will give an impetus to the oonstrnotion of the remaining sections. Ws are utterly opposed to State aid, but when once the faith of tbe commonwealth has bean plighted, provided the terms of the oontract are striotly complied with, there is no honorable escape from the obligation. Tho people of Bainbridge and Cuthbart are warmly interested in tbe snoceas of this new Northern route, and the writer on a recent visit to that region, found tho new owners very sanguine aa to the future prospects of the road. Oar best wishes attend their efforts. Wet Weather. We have had rain in Maoon every day since Sunday and the promise of a wet month Is am ple. Agreeably to the weather tables published in our oolumns on the 1st instant, between sev en and eight inohes of rain fell here during the month of May, bnt mnoh of that rain was not of a character to saturate the soil. It cams down in torrents, and ran off in the same shape. Thai, notwithstanding all this immense rain fall, the ground is not, so far, surcharged with any great excess of water. The showers of the present are felt more particularly in their inter ruptions to farm labor and the impetus they give to grass and weeds in the growing crops. The farmers are overtaxed already in the effort to keep their fields clean, and they are like to have a good deal more labor of the same kind on their hands than they can accomplish. Simmer complaints. We call attention to Mr. Payne's notice sug gesting a reliable remedy for all the diseases of the stomaoh and bowels whioh are incident to iMi season of the year. It oannot be denied that there is a genera! predisposition here, and throughout the whole oonutry to affections of this nature, which in New Orleans and other communities have even developed into cholera of a malignant type. An ounce of preventive ia better than a pound of cure, says the adage, and every prudent per son and family will keep on hand a bottle of Bryant's cholera mixture, or some other remedy which can be resorted to in au emergency. Mr. George Payne enjoys an enviable pre eminence as a skillful and reliable apothecary, and prescriptions pnt up by him are always compounded from the purest medicines, and no one need fair poieoning at his hands through criminal negligence. The “Doctor,” as he is familiarly called, though “rebel" to the backbone, and a true ■on of Dixie, was nevertheless in great request by Wilson's army of sinners, who, despite his known proclivities, thronged his drug store ia quest of some nostrum to cure the codec- quenoes of their folly and exoese; and the good man, though sorely tempted to give them a sure passage to kingdom oome, yet had the magnanimity to heat their ailments whils pock eting their greenbacks. Mr. Payne’s name is tbe synonim of honesty, and his large experi ence as m druggist has enabled him to discover many valuable remedies for the diseases of this climate, whioh he will pat up at reasonable rates and furnish advice gratis. Remember his stand, opposite the Palace of Justioe. Woman's Bcffbaox nr Pxuxstlvaiiu.—Tbe proposition to strike the word “male” from the article on the elective franchise before the Pennsylvania Constitutional convention, was defeated by a vota iff aye*, *2, noss 67. Bar. Hr. Beecher ew the Cosiestenotes The Christian Union, edited by Rev. Henry Word Beeeber, in en article on the propoeitton to deok the Confederate graves, whloh was hissed down by the North with nearly unani mous indignation, has tbe following whioh we copy in respect to the general kindness of its spirit: We reoognize, of eouree, in tho protest of these gentlemen a staunch loyalty to their no tion of a patriotism which la In itself admirable. Their mistake, as it seems to us, is a misappre hension of the conditions of the oase both past and present. They assert, and with truth, that after victory so dearly bought as oars there mast be no tampering with the spirit whioh so nearly oocreame a*. They also assert, and with error, that honor offered to our enemies’ dead, or ooaoiliation extended to them living, ia such tampering. And here we take issue. There are two aspects of onr late melancholy war whloh we of the North ongbt never to for get, and which, practically, we hardly ever re member. One te the fast that, as a oommnnity, we did oonsent to the ever growing encroach ments of slavery, of which war was tbe logical and inevitable end. Oars was a baser sin than than that of the South. For the South bed taught itself to believe that slavery derived ite strength from the Bible, and it planted itaelf on the abstraot right of the patriarchal institution. Supple doctors of divinily supplied it with scriptural arguments. The churohes, roost of them at least, did not hesitate to fellowship it. The whole South, religiously, was as solidly or thodox as it was solidly slaveholding. In an enormous agricultural oountry, where tbs masses oould neither read nor write, and where, natnraily, the newspapers had almost no part in the education of the people, it was inevitable that a few orators and political managers should control tbe community. So that slavsry, and the consequent secession were, to a remarkable degree, the honest cause of the whole people. And with a splendid oourage and enduranoe they followed lheir disunion flag to wounds and death, aa simply and bravely as if it had been the banner of the Crone and they the old Crusa ders. They were very ignorant and very wrong, bat they died for the beet oeuse they knew— their ides of patriotism. Bat we who believed slavery to be wrong, who oould not lore onr oonscieroes to justify it, still aocepted and enoouraged it through love of gold and desire of an ignoble peaoe. We taught the South that it oould not demand what we should not be found ready to give. And when, at last, slavery threatened our na tional life, It was tha instinot of self-preserva tion rather than any nobler sentiment whiob prompted reaistanoe. In that golden summer of ImIO, we went on gatneriDg and spending, and living taxations lives, c SI bless of the por- tsots in tbe sky. In tbe early spring of 1861, it was not only the enemies of tbe Union who donbted its power to preserve Us own integrity. It was its friends; the Seoretary of State, the commnndor-in chief at its army, the great mer chants and great lawyers—ales! to often the great preaohers of the great eities. There was nothing in the attitude of the North, almost up to the moment of firing on Fort Sumter, to check the menace of the Sonth. There was everything to indidate that the Union would quietly fall apart. Because we are by no means innocent of the war, therefore it behoovee ns to apeak temper ately of our fellow-sinners, however we abhor our common sin. And we ought never to have forgotten that, sharing their guilt, we oould not shut them oat from that redemption for whloh wo fought. If the objeot of the war were not a restored and regenerated Union, bet only the triumph of a late-routed North over an insolent and defiant Sonth, then their cause was as much better than onrs ss honest devotion to an ideal, however mistaken, is better than pnre vindic tiveness. We have no moral ground to stand upon, but are guilty of our brother’s blood, un less we meant to make an offering to Gad of our national sin, and to free them, with our selves, from the body of that death. We lose, then, the only harvest worth the reaping from the tears and blood that both sides bo plentifully sowed, if we will not see our brother in onr enemy, and a common ooun try in the alien sections. Sober and discreet travellers in the South, men like Bryant and the great chief justioe, not easily deceived, tes tify that they have found everywhere a kindli ness of feeling whioh wonld be brotherliness if any answering kindliness encouraged it. If we are not yet lofty enough to forgive the living, who themselves have something to forgive in ns, let ns st least respect the heroism and the honesty of the dead. They were of our race and of our kindred. They were not greatly different from onraelves. Remembering that we invited, through oowardice or greed, the war that they plunged ns into through a mad fanaticism; remembering that only a reunited and noble Union can justify the awful cost of blood and agony, shall wa refuse to lay flowers of kindness on the tnrf that eight yean of peaoe have nourished ? Let us rather heap it high with blossoms, and if we bring rue for bitter mournings let ns not forget rosemary for sweet remembrance, and pansies for generous thoughts. _____ The Late General Clanton — Borne Errors Corrected. We published on Taesday a statement made by a Knoxville correspondent of the Atlanta Herald, to the effect that the widow of General Gianton had married again, and consequently tbe oondoct of the proseoution against his slayer, Nelson, was left to the State’s attorney, who was a law partner of Nelson’s brother. The Columbus Sun notioed tho same statement and replies to it aa follows, with the request that all papers that published the story will also publish the denial. It says: , We are informed by a connection of the late General Clanton’s family, and a gentleman we know wall, that upon Clanton’s assassination by Nelson, his estate was found to be worth nothing. Some $3,500 were made up by the people of Alabama, to buy his widow, who it tti’l a widow, and in deep mourning for her husband, a house and lot Mrs. Clanton stiff owes something on the house. The State of Alabama has never paid her for the legal ser vices, rendered by her husband, and daring the year ot 1871 and 1872 her main support was from the pay of her two sons, aged 10 and 12 years, as pages in tbe Legislature. The State of Alabama is to blame for not paying the widow of General Clanton the amount due him; which wonld have been willingly spent by her in proeeonting the murderer of her husband. ADDRESS FROM GOT. HcEKERT. He Tlelds to the Dictator, hot Will Use All legal sad Moral Mesas to Maiatsla His Nights. Nxw Toxx, June 2.—A New Orleans special gives an address of Gov. McEoery, in whioh he says: “President Grant as tbs Chief Magistrate of the nation, has assumed the high and grave re sponsibility of foisting upon the people of this State a usurpation without precedent in this or any other free oountry, and he is answerable before the bar of public opinion for this high handed measure. The President with the army navy at hie command has the physical power to"coerce the people of this State Into any line of policy ha may be pleased to dic tate, and it would be bnt folly and madness to interpose a resistance likely to bring MIn con flict with the national authority. Yet the deeply fixed sentiments of irrepressible hos tility in the minds and hearts of an outraged people against the vilest usurpation ever at tempted to be fastened upon freemen, will find their full seope and vent. I advise that these manly and patriotic sentiments take form and shape through all the moral and legal agendas possible to be devised. In the meantime I trust peace and order zaay reign supreme throughout the State, and that all our indus trial pursuits will be unembarrawed by politi es! difficulties. Aad especially do I urge upon the neoule of the two races who are numeri- SSJ^rty equal in this State, to cultivate OTe towards the other nothing but feelings of unity, good will, and aSotual MfcntMtta*." ratten In North Georgia. Our friend Martin, now of the Colnmbua San who retired from the editorial conduct of the Eaquirer when it passed into the hands of the new proprietor, Mr Calhoun, some three weeks since, spent the interval between laying down his pen and taking it np again in a holiday ex cursion to North Georgia, and the following nnder the above head ia the result oi his ob servations from an agricultural standpoint. He says: One who has not had an occnlar demonstra tion can hardly form an adequate estimation of the extent of the ootton crop this year in the oountry above Atlanta. The rich valleys here tofore devoted almost exclusively to grain, are now in large part appropriated to the fleecy staple, and tbe wheat crop having been much thinned out by the severe freezes of tho winter, it is upon, their ootton crops the farmers gen erally are, for the first time, relying for money next fall. On the rich lands of Gwinnett and Forsyth oountieo, cotton bears about the same proportion to corn planted as on the plan-stions of this section, and even throughout Dawson and Lumpkin counties cotton fields abound. We heard, also, of extensive cotton planting in Jaekson, Hail, and other counties of North Georgia. It is the present agrionltural mania of North Georgia, and success or failnre in the planting of cotton this year will have a marked effect on the prosperity and progress of the section. In many localities of that region it is, to great extent, a n6w business—the discovery having only been made a year or two ago that liberal use of fertilizers will overoome what has hitherto been oonaulered the great obsUc.s to the anocesaful cultivation of cotton np there, viz: tbe shortness of the growing season. Lost year’s success by a comparative few having con vinced the people generally that guano will stimulate the growth and hurry the fruiting of the plant on iheir rich lands to such s degree to compensate for their shorter season, they are this year staking everything upon ootton. The joyful cry of “ eureka,” as applicable to their planting economy, barsts as universally from their Ups as the deep searching, never- failing and world-known ‘'eureka” of our friend Dr. Hood exhibits itself painted npon their rocks and fences. And they are “pitching” into cotton with tbe same venturesome and hap-hazatd devotion ex hibited by our planters in this section. They bay their guano on time, pledging the forth coming cotton crop for the purchase money, and hire their labor npon the same contingency. The probability is that most of them have gram snd meat enough to last them while making this otop, and herein they have tbe advantage of onr-plonters farther South. Bat how well they may be off in this respect after this year's operations, we will not forebode. “Sufficient onto the day is the evil thereof.” The applica tion of guano to the cotton is universal. Even on tbe rieh bottom lands of the Chattahoochee river, in Gwinnett and Forsyth connties—lands that will make forty to fifty bushels of corn per sure without manure—they are liberally apply ing guano to their ootton. We heard of one planter on arented farm on the Chattahoochee, through whose lands we passed, who has this year bought abont $1,100 worth of guano for his cotton, and bought it on time. His land wonld give the maximum yield of oorn above named, with good seasons, without manure. It is evident that he haB tisked heavily on cotton this year, and means to “make a spoon or spoil a horn.” And hia course ia precisely that of many others in tho splendid agricultural sco- tion of which we are writing. BY TELEGRAPH DAT DISPATCHES. Bayard Taylor ou Journalism. Mr. Bayard Taylor, who is at Vienna as tbe correspondent of the New York Tribune, seems to have made a great hit at the press banquet preliminary to the opening of the Exposition, both as a speaker and exponent of Journalism. He spoke in German, constructing a new German word to characterize the festival. From the Vienna Deutsche Zsitung we take the following report of the speech, which cer tainly presents the finest epitome of the seope and character of true journalism whioh we have ever read. Mr. Taylor said: This press festival is to me the expression of a oloser onion of the press in all lands, in order to extirpato old prejudices, to farther peaoefal and instructive comparisons in politic?, society and literature, and finally—I might also say—to inaugurate a kind of universal world sociability (WcUqemuthlichkdt) among the people of all civilized countries. [Loud and enthusiaatio applsnse. j For I assert that a higher mission has been confided to the prese than merely to speak with tbe changing voioe of the day. [Cries of “True.”) Its domain lies' between liteiatnre and statesman ship, and takes hold on both. It ia tree, indeed, as Freligraph says, in speaking of politics, “the author stands upon a loftier watch tower than tbe turrets of party.” But it is enough for us that each party has its turrets; and while tho masses of its followers are straggling below in the dust of battle, the experienced and oousoientiona journalist stands above on tbe watoh-tower and overlooks the conflict without sharing its worst passions. [Applause.] The press cf all oountries, in the wonderful growth and development of the lest twenty-five years, has learned the same lesson —that every new freedom brings with it a new dnty, and in the same measure as its power and influenoe have increased, Us moderation and its earnest endeavor to judge prominent questions justly have also become prominent. We must wait long for the millennial season of universal peaoe; bnt where, as here to-night, the jour nalists of all oiviiized lands are so cordially re ceived and so fraternally associate, the path of peaoefal and healthy progress is snrely made a little firmer than before. The conclusion ot this speech was almost lost in the storm of applause whioh hailed it. Tbe Porlngncse minister Unable to Pay His Beard la Washington. One day in November, 1871, the Amerioan residents in Paris were considerably agitated, particularly the female portion of them. The reason of it all was that one of their number, a yonng, handsome, spirited, wealthy New York heiress was on that day to exchange her plain Repnblioan name of Adele Allien for that of Chevalier de Lobe, of London, at the time at tached to the Legation of Portugal at Paris. Tbe Chevalier, though possessed of a pretty big handle to his name, had nothing monetary ex cept a soant salary. He was fully twenty-five years older than his yonng Amerioan wife. Bnt in view of his title this difference was not con sidered an objection. And so the nnion of the two was consummated, and in order to make it folly binding In the eye of the church as well as of the State, the ceremony of tying the knot was performed once by a Roman Catholic priest and by Minieter Washburne. The father of the bride, though of French stock, is a native of New York, and thoroughly American in thought and feeling, and, it is said, wonld have preferred for son-in-law any young e'erk, irrespective of salary or posses sions. Bnt Miss Adele’s mother was not of the same opinion. She was of German parentage —her father, now dead for a long time, was the Prussian Consul in this city fornearly forty years. She had visited Enrope, and among the highest government circles had acquired a partiality for life among the nobility. The mother’s will prevailed, and the wealth; house of Horstman Brothers & Allien, manufacturers of military goods in New York and Phila delphia, become allied by marriage with tbe poor house of tho Lobo?, of Portugal. At first things went on smoothly enongh. De Lobo opened to his yonng wife the doors to the bighest society everywhere in Enrope, and the money of the young bride’s fstherwas sufficient for the extravaganoe. But long before the year expired trouble was caused by financial embar rassments. The Chevalier needed more money than he oonld get through his wife, and became dissatisfied. In the meantime te was trans ferred to Washington as Minister Resident, which more than trebled his legitimate income. It appears that gome day last week Chevalier de Lobo quit Washington. He was in arrears to hi3 landlady for one month's board, and had not the money to pay. Other claims had been arsed for seettlment, and the landlady had threatened to lock him out and seize his bag- gige. Bnt tha legal status of a foreign minis ter is such that he cannot be sued for money demands. Secretary Fish has acted upon that principle. As Boon as the secretary ef Cheva lier de Lobo ascertained that the cruel landlady was detaining the baggage of the Portugese representative, he is said to have informed Secretary Fish of the fact, who informed the landlady that she hid no right to the coarse she pursued. At the same time the Secretary of State has taken steps to present the whole af fair to the Foreign Office of Portugal, asking for the immediate recall of tha Chevalier, and that his debts be settled.—AT.

It is such a half life, you say, it is vegetating; you canid not live so. Well perhaps so. But I imagine that it is a sort of vegetation that will bloo** oot grandly in the sunshine cf a sew 3 «fe." The Walworth Tragedy. New Yobk, Jane 4.—A resident of Saratoga says Mrs. Walworth, the wife of the man mur dered yesterday, was a Miss Nellie Hardin, daughter cf Coil Hardin, of Kentucky, who was killed in the battle of Buena Viata. After the death of the Colonel, his wife went to Chan cellor Walworth, father of the murdered man to settle some contest about the estate of the late Colonel. It ended by tbe Chancellor mar. rying the widow. This naturally brought the daughter Nellie and Mansfield Tracy Walworth constantly together, and the resnlt was that they mailed. In the course of years Walworth began In- dulging habitually in intoxication, and became brutal in his treatment of bis wife, and on some occasions struck her. This treatment oontinued until the ontbreak of the late war, when Wal worth, through his father, obtained a position in the State Department at Washington, and his habits were improved. It was Boon discovered that Walworth was nsing the means his position famished him with to give secret information to the Confederate autnorieB of what was transpiring in the North. He was arrested and sentenced to the capital prison, bnt released through the itflseaoe of his father and allowed to go to Saratoga, where he made a report to the authorities every day till the close of the war. Iu the meantime, his father died, leaving uoihiDg to the son or daughter In law, and the former resumed his old habits. His oondnot at length beoame unbearable, and Mrs. Walworth left him and shortly pro cared a divorce. She then obtained a position as clerk in the Treasury Department in Washington, where she remained for two years, and then went to Saratoga and opened a young ladies’ seminary. It was while she was there that she began to reoeive letters from Walworth, threatening and insulting her, and making outrageous charges against her. It was these letters which oaused the son to leave hia home and commit the hor rible sot. One of the 1 d rotors who attended on the mur dered man, said that when he went np ctairs to his room, he found Mr. Walworth was lyiog on the floor, with hia head on the carpet and gasp ing. His pulse gave one or two pulsations, when the doctor took his arm in his hand, and then stopped completely. Blood was gushing from a wound in bis left breast and from hia arm. He died in about a quarter of a minute alter the doctor entered the room. He was shortly after placed in bed and the doctor says that young Walworth, when he was brought iuto the room, reported the conversa tion between himself and father as follows: Walworth (the son) standing before his father.—“You have again written letters to my mother, threatening both her life and my own. Will you solemnly promise never to make suoh threats again? ’ Walworth (the father.)—' I do make that promise.” Walworth (the son )—“You hive, also, re peated the insult made to my mother. Do you promise never to nse insulting language to mother again?” Walworth (father.)—“ I do make snch promise. Walworth (son.)—Drawing the revolver,and pointing it at his father. “ You hare made that promise before. I do not believe you. You shall never have the opportunity of doing so again, and then the firing took plaoe without a moment's interval of hesitation. The Walworth Pariclde. Frank Walworth, who shot hia father, is in oeil No. 67. Mrs. Walworth telographed to ex Judge Beaob, “See my son Frank H. Walworth at once, and attend to his case.” Beach subsequently had a consultation with hia client. Fire In Norwich. Washington, Jane 4.—The carpet and yarn mill near Norwich, Conn., was bnrncd to-day.

Tha Court of Claims to-day, rendered n de cision ot general interest and very great im portance, in the case of Wm. A Hayeroft vs. the United States, which iB precisely identical in principle, and conditions of fact with the well known Elmira J. Kelly case, likewise pending. Mr. Haycrcft’s suit was brought July 30tb, 1872, for the proceeds of oertain cotton seized and sold by the agents of the United States Government. Tbe captured and abandoned property act limited this time, within which suits could be brought for the proceeds of such seizures to August 20, 1868, being two years from tbe date of the termination of the rebel lion, as fixed by tbe Presidential proclamation of August 20,1866. Tbe Supreme Court decides that the amnesty proclatiom of Deoember 25, 1868, relieved all persons in the Sen them States from obligation to prove their loyalty in the Court of Claims, and Hayeroft, in filing his claim in 1872, con tended that, in consequence of said amnesty proclamation and decision of the Supreme Court, disloyal ootton claimants, like himself, had a right to commenoe their suits at any time within six years after the date of tbe procla mation of December 25, 1868, nnder the gene ral statute of limitations applicable to suits brought in this oourt; for the reason that he bad no standing in the oourt prior to the iaru- anee of «a»4 amnesty, and that Ui cause of I notion occurred at this date, although his pro perty was taken in 1868. The Attorney General filed a plea to the jurisdiction, on the ground that all suite for ootton were required to he .brought within two years—the limitation of the captured and aban doned property aot. Boatly and Casey, oounsel for the claimant, demurred, and the Conrt to-day over-ruled the demurrer and sustained tho plea to the juris diction. Tbe oounsel for the olaimant then appealed to the Snpreme Court. This decision, if sustained by the Snpreme Court, will bar and exolnde claim? for tho pro ceeds of cotton to the amoant of about fifteen million dollars. In the case of Charles Hill, an alien subjeot of Great Britain, olaiming the prooeeds of cer tain ootton caplnred from his faotors by tbs United States military furoes, Hill having re sided in England dnring the entire period of tbe rebellion, tbe conrt deoided that the pre sumption in favor of his having preserved his nentrality ia not overthrown by the proof of the mere fact that he was interested and subscribed money to certain adventures for running the blockade. These adventures, the oourt says, may never have been pnt afloat, or, if they were, may never have reaohed the seat ot the block ade. It ia therefore held to be neoeasary to show, not only the purpose to give aid and comfort to the rebels, bnt the fact that aid and comfort were given. This faot not being proved, judgment is given for the olaimant. In the case of Warren R. Dent the oonrt de oided that a portion of the prooeods of captured ootton paid by the Government to an informer oould not now be recovered from the United Statea. This deciaon is based npon the general principles of the statute, that the olaimants ean reoover no more than the net prooeeda paid into the United States Treasury. An important deoision was also rendered in the case of Walter D. Spott, of Mississippi, to the effeot that olaimants who pnrobased cotton from agents of the Confederate Government, knowing at the time that the proceeds were to be nsed in the proseentien of war against the Federal Government, acquired no title to their pnrehases, and, therefore, have no right of ao- tion against the United States for subsequent capture and aalo of anoh ootton. This deoision governs and excludes elaims to the amount of $3,000,000. An appeal was tak en to the Supreme Court. The Conrt of Claims made an order referring what are known as the Vicksbnrg ootton oases, involving the prooeeda of 9,000 bales, to Eben Everlith, of Washington city, as a speoial com missioner, to disentangle the complicated ques tions of ownership, etc., ar.d report at the next term, and then adjourned till the third Monday of next Ootober.

Memphis, Jane 4.—For the past ten days, a disease has prevailed here, which, at first, the physicians pronounced cholera morbns, or malarial fover; bnt no alarm was felt nntil yes terday, when the physicians generally agreed that it was cholera, some dasBicg it as sporndio and others as Asiatic. Therefore its ravages have been chiefly confined to negroes and laboring classes, and in the absenoe ot an or ganized board of health, it is difficult to esti mate the nnmbor ot fatal oases. The doctors say the disease, it promptly attended, yields to treatment. Among, the latest viotims is Geo. Moore, of the Memphis and Lonisville Transfer Company, who died last night.

What Shall we do With the Wodoea T Washington, Jane 4 —It is said by the high est military authority that the Modocs could not surrender as prisoners of war in the sense known to nations when war is declared in aooordanoe with constituted forms. Not hav ing been so received they are not entitled to consideration as prisoners of war. The orders leaned to the Commanding General direotly after the assassination of General Canby and Rev. Dr. Thomas, were not to exterminate the the Modoo8, bnt it was said their conduct had been such that their extermination wonld be justifiable, thus leaving the matter to the dis cretion of General Davis. Therefore, if he had ordered the killing of these Indians, he would not have been oensured by superior authority.
