Attorney General. The President onoe sent In

ates of that oollege now soattered ail over the
Bomb, has retired from that position. Ho is
one of the ablest, if not the ablest, snrgeon in
this country, and the “Jeff” will miss him
greatly. He will not retire from praotico, how
ever, whieh is good news to the many afflicted
persons who are constantly seeking relief at his

Bcrc-rn fob Ggtzbnob of Maasacnrams—
Ghavt Fatobs Ha AsFiaanoNS.—The Balti
more San's Washington correspondent writes
as follows under the above heads:
Mr. George P. Sanger, appointed by the Pros
ident as United States Attorney for Massachu
setts, is an old and respectable counsellor of
Boston. For twenty years he has edited the
standard edition of the laws of theUnited Slate*,
published by Little, Brown Jt Co. It is under,
stood that his appointment is dne to the in
fluence of General Batler and Senator Bout-
well. He had alsobeen personally reootamendod
by the Congressional delegation from Massa
chusetts, bn: after an announcement from him
that ho favored Bntler for Governor, several
of them endeavored to persuade the President
not to make the appointment- It is held from
this circnmstanoa that the influence of the ad
ministration is to be thrown in tho interest of
General Bntler.
If Butler should succeed In getting the regu
lar nomination, it is believed from the expres
sions of leading men of the State opposed to him
that there will be a bolt, and another Republi
can ticket pot In the field. The Boston Jour
nal and ike Boston Advertiser, the leading Be
publioan papers of the city, will also, it is pos
itively stated, relate to snpport him. General
Batler, with hie soenstomed confidence and aa-
aarance, snap* bis fingers and says that he Is
bound to win ; that he can lose 50,000 votes of

Macing the Ntales.
The Well street brokers are aboni to sue the
Old North State to collect interest on the car
pet bag swindling bonds which btv. been jog.
g'ed ont of that Slate. Beverdy Jjhnson sayt
that the State can be sued; bnt art. If of the
amendments to the Federal Constitution de
clares : ,
“The judicial power of theUnited States shall
not be oonsirued to extend to any salt in law or
equity commenced or prosecuted against one of
the United States by citizens of another State
or by citizens or'subjects of any foreign State.”
It fs difficult to imagine the kind of legal leg
erdemain by which this prohibition is to be cir
cumvented.
The fraudulent and swindling bonds which
are ontstandieg against each and all of the so-
termed “reconstructed States," (Mississippi ex-
oepted) are the direct result of naked usurps
tion by the Federal Government. That Gov
ernment, In defiance of the Constitution and
the reserved rights of the States, disfranchised
the original citizens of these commonwealths,
and made a nets citizenship; and when tbe new
citizens (negroes) were found not to be In the
majority, the Federal Government made thorn
so by the point of the bayonet and military au
thority.
These Ignorant negroes, the most of whom
could not distinguish A from B, were placed
nominaVf in possession of snprenso legislative
power in each of these States, bnt really were
bnt tbe eata paws of Northern and domestic
white radical adventurers of the vilest descrip
tion, who, by all the arts of cajolery and bri
bery manenvered and procured through their
negro dopes the isau&nco of many millions and
scores of millions of so-called State bonds.
Bnt as tho frand was too gigaotio to bo msn-
fpniated aiono by there white intriguants in the
Sonth, the latter procured the oo-operation of
equally shameless and corrupt allies amoDg the
sharp, facile and light-fingered financial opera
tors of the North. The latter acted, to some
extent, the part of receivers of stolen goods
vended to ontside parties so mnch of this paper
as'could be sold at pricet to cover rub*, and
held the balance in one form or another as prop,
erty or so called collaterals, on specnlation,
which would in ordinary circumstances be con
sidered wholly despersto, bnt in the existing
suspension of lew, and chaos and confusion of
sll principles and maxims of private and pnblio
jnstioe, they hoped to see folly successful.
These bonds were issued for mere pretence
of consideration by legislators made bo in de
fiance of fundamental law—sometimes put in
their seats by a sergeant and fi e of nokliera—
unable to sign their names or to read—without
a dollar's worth of taxable property—and these
bonds sssnmed to bind the property of the tax-
payers who, by violence and frand, were shot
ont of all proper representation and voioe in Iho
matter.
These are the transactions !he so-called North
Carolina bondholders sre going to enforce, con
summate and perfect by snit against tbe O'd
North State in tbe Federal eomts. We trn-t
by the time the process is completed the ontside
world will at least understand the whole mutter.
“Pax”—Son Pro Pace.
The writer of the article on the “Bar dinner"
was not the “looal,” who was otherwise engaged,
bnt one of the editors of this paper. Moreover,
he distinctly stated that he did not and could
not give any detailed account of the speeches
made on that occasion, owing to tbe lateness of
the honr and the absence of notes.
In the single remark made by Mr. Johnson,
which it Is olaimed had reference to Governor
Smith, it is tine that the predee language was
not heard; bnt that ita import (and he only pre
tended to give the snbstance of what was said)
is as stated, not one member of tbe bar present
will gainsay. Tbs verbiage may have been dif
ferent, bnt the impression created was (be
same.
We oharaoterizsd the speeob of the ex-Gov
ernor ss able, and regretted the inability to re
produce it; bnt contend that whether j-june or
not in tho eyes of “Hoosier," the little reported
of that speeoli was correct, with the slight ex
ception above conceded. Will any one present
deny it?
As to tho strictures of “Pax” In reference to
onr making any report at all the next morning,
wo beg leave to say that “live newspapers” en
deavor to make the moat of what occurs at such
times, and their readers, bo among them, would
be tho first to exclaim against the “lack of en
terprise” evinced by any neglect In the pre
mises.
So far as relates to hfs inability to write ont
the proceedings, after feasting to satiety upon
the good things of cur generous hosts of
Brown's Hotel,” the writer has only to say,
that he is too well known to be classed among
those addicted to tnch oonvivial excesses. His
report was meant to be a simple resnme of ac
tual incidents, oonpled with the reeital of a re
mark or two from each orator, showing the
drift and animus of the several speeches, with
out claiming to be foil and particular in any
instance. As snob, they were donbtless re
ceived by tbeanJlenoe and the pnblio generally.
Those “glaring italics” referred to by the
Atlanta “aorehetd," seem to have disgruntled
him not a little. Again we rise to explain.
When a newspaper editor or reporter assumes
to bo the ohronioler of events on any given oc
casion, it la allowable, and even customary thus
to give promlnecoe to salient points and telling
utterances.
The distinguished speaker “brought down the
house” when he used tbe language attributed to
him, or at least, as sll will admit, declared that
in his administration “he had never deoeived
any one.” It was not only right therefore, but
eminently joat that this palpable hit at some
body, as it seemed to be, should be recorded
with proper emphasis. Besides, some eminent
critics bold that italics do not add strength to
any allegation, bnt are rather an emblem of
weakness—tbe pure mother tongne, undressed,
beiog sufficient to point every idea.
This deponent did not, and does not say that
onr worthy chief magistrate was tbe individnsl
aimed at by tbs caustic remark of his prede
cessor. Well then may Gov. Smith exclaim,
save me “from my friends,'’ when they insist
upon lugging him into the arena, and mixing
his name with tbe convivial proceedings of a
Macon “Bar dining,” when it had never been
even mentioned by any of the company present.
We enter onr solemn protest against any
blame beirg Uid to the door of the learned end
genial members of the legal profession, whose
hospitality was so conspicuous on that occasion.
Had tho Governor of Georgia secepted of their
invitation, ho would have been received with
the honors and impressment due to his iilnstri-
ons position. Then whence all this pother?
This mnch ado about nothing ?

Bill Embodied.
Tho Louisville Ledger discovered these bills
embodied In a remarkable boy who made his ap
pearance at the Nashville depot Ust week, and
whom it dectares Jo be one of the greatest cu
riosities of the age. He is half white and half
black, not In the mnlatto and miscegenation
sense, bnt the lower hslf of his body is whiter
than white folks nsnally are, while the upper
portion was 35 black as midnight. His mother,
a coal black negress, was with him, and they
left cn the Nashville train at seven o clock last
evening. Ho is bnt three years old, and has al
ready learned to make money on: of his pecn-
Uaril.es. He made several nicklea yesterday in
a very few minutes. There is a round patch,
sbont three inches in diameter, of perfectly
beautiful hair on the top of his head, whieh is
surrounded by Uttle kinky negro woo!.
The boy is to be taken on to Wsshington and
presented in form to Charles Stunner. He is
then to be placed dally on a pedestal in the
rotunda of the capital and stand there as a Uvicg
embodiment of Radicalism, to prove that their
schemes are not at irreconcilable war with na
ture and God Almighty. A portrait of him will
also be carefully painted and placed on the Bad
en! standards with the motto—“in hoceigno rin-
oere.” After this they will all take the 4 th cf
Jnly and feel better.
Investments In Colorado.
Oar friend Jodge XL B. Gerry, late of the
City Court of Macon, and the onliest Judge that
tribunal ever had, is now a Umb of the law In
Denver. CoL, and offert his services in to-day'
edition in making investments in that territory
for his Georgia friends. Colorado is one of
those places where a thing doubles in vaine while
you are writing the title deeds, and henoe a wo
man never can teU or bny anything there. Ail
kinds of property is like factory yarn during the
late unpleasantness. It rues fifty per oent.
while yon are making np your mind to give what
the enss had the presumption to sak for it in
the first instance.
They are a fast people. Yesterday we got a
pamphlet from there on which the Treasures of
all sorts of colors, pictnres and letter press art
in general had been lavished on tinted paper to
show the glories, riches, fertfflty and healthi
ness of Colorado, and every man in Colorado
had lent a fieger to the pie—showing how those
western people eo operate and stand np to each
other in makiDg a common fortune. They don't
want any body left oat in the cold without his
pile, and hence what any one says the rest
stand ready to swear to, like good fellows.
Bnt we have no doubt Colorado is the great
est place in Grant’s kingdom. And as for Den
ver—Denver started with a seedling log cabin
four years ago, and is now twioe as big as Ms
, with parks, bonlevards, fountains, water
works, opera houses, paved streets and every
thing city like, cxnept they haven't got ladies
enough to attract a man of taste. Hang a coun
try where there are ten sharp good-looking men
to one woman of dnnbtfal or hypothetical at
traction!. It may be, and donbtless is, a fine
plaee for the girls, bat hard on a man of donbt-
fnl or failing powers. Ills living under a clond
all the lime. For ail that, however, we suppose
it is now the easiest place known for turning
a dollar into three or f onr.
Last Week’s Cotton Figures.
The New York Chronicle reports the receipts
of the seven days ending list Friday night,
(20th instant,) at 19,672 bales against 18,245
bales last week, 25,130 bales the previous week
and 30,906 bales three weeks since, making tbe
total receipts since the first September, 1872,
3,475,881 bales against 2,682,296 bales for the
same period of 1871-72, showing an increase
sinoe September 1, 1872, of 793,585 bales.
Tbe reoeipts at the interior ports for tbe same
time were 3,668 bales against 1,130 for ths cor
responding week of last year. The shipments
were 10,830 against 2,301, and the stocks foot
np 43,101 against 13,471. The Chronicle’s ta
ble of visible supply foots np 2,764,123, against
2,579,612 last year and 2,563,635 in 1871, show
ing an increase over last.year of 184,611 bales.
Beporting the New York market for the week,
the Ghroniole says;
There has been very little doing in spot oot-
ton the past week, a farther nominal advance
having brought business almost to a standstill.
On Monday low middlings of all growths were
advanc'd to 19jc., and on Tuesday to 20s.,
where they stood down to tbe close of business
to day, ordinary remaining at 14 ja. all the week,
the Liverpool report has been unchanged in
price end without special aotivlty. This want
of response to the rise here, together with the
decline in gold and higher ooean freights, have
stood in tbo way of any movement on for
eign account, while tho demand from spinners
has fallen off materially, so that the influences
supporting prices have been entirely specula
tive, based epon the rednoed stocks, large short
sales, end bad accounts of the growing crop.
Tbe weather report of the Chronicle tells gen
eral of wet and snitry weather rnl abundant
grass. At New Orlesns rain everyday bntone.
Same in Mobile. Belma, Macon and Golnm-
bns rain more than half the week. Mercury
average at Mobile 81, Macon 81, Selma 84,
Montgomery 85, Oolnmbut 83 and Savannah 87.
Tbe Chronicle, reviewing the general situation,
■ays It is very promising and the prospeots for
a heavy crop fair.
The Difference Between the Two.
In a long article on Aaron Barr, the St. Louis
Republican draws a comparison cn some points
between him and Hamilton, which strikes ns ss
one of tbo truest and fittest we have ever known
made. It has been the fashion in this country
ever since Hamilton’s death at Barr's hands, to
exalt tbe one to the plane of a demi-god while
damning the other to tbe lowest depth of scorn
and infamy; bnt we think pnblio opinion is un
dergoing a change in this respect. The recent
revelations made by James Parton in his life of
Jefferson, present Hamilton in a most despica
ble light, and one that cannot fail to seriously
clond the brightness of the halo with which his
tory and ths tragic circumstances of his death
have enoircled his name and fame. The writer
in the Bspnbliosn has evidently been carefully
studying the characters of the two men, and in
the extract bslow has clearly set forth some of
the most radical differences of disposition and
personal character between them. Ho Bays:
In the long list of his (Barr’s) transgressions
it mnst be acknowledged that hypocrisy and
meanness have no place. Had he been a hypo
crite, he might have divided with Hamilton the
favors and partiality of Washington. Both Barr
and Hamilton had a small opinion of the man
so infinitely their snperior; Barr expressed his
contempt cpenly and bore tbe penalty—Hamil
ton smiled, and fawned, and flittered, and
reaped his reward. Nor did Barr ever stoop to
stab an enemy in the back. Ho was incapable
of slandering a rival in private letters or at s
private dinner table; he was ready to meet him
faoe to faoe and fight if necessary, bnt ho was
no whisperer retailing scandals be dared not
endorse. Had he believed in his heart, as Ham
ilton did, that duelling was wrong, no pressure
of pnblio opinion, no threats of social outlawry
could have driven him to the so-called “field of
honor.” Had he intrigued with Mrs. Reynolds,
as Hamilton did, he wonid have gone to tbe
gallows rather than publish his paramour's
frailty to the world. “Any woman,” he used
to ssy, “ whose arms have sheltered me is for
ever sacred to me.” Ha was the gentleman even
in bis nices. He sadly lacked moral principle;
he did not lack moral courage.
African Church Services.
Bev. James Morrow, of Dublin, recently ap
pointed to the charge of the “Ames Methodist
Church" in New Orleans, corresponding with
the Irish Evangelist, a paper published .'n Dah
lia, has the following aoont “the people of
color” in one of his letters:
They are now deeply interested in the ques
tion of education. They know that it is power.
On last Sunday I attended c service in one of
their churches, and heard one of them preach.
After reading his text, he said, “Fit read my
text again, and then I’m off.” TbeD, with a
smile that was childlike and bland, he said, “1
don’t want to make yon glad twioe—glad to see
me begin, and then glad to see me qnit, so I
mean to be short.” He made an honest effort
to explain the necessity of the atonement, and
then spoke of the change which religion makes,
and rose in the poetical—"In de desert we hear
de hoot of de owl and de roar of de lion, de
scream of de panther, and de cry of de wild
fowl, bnt I hear no song dere. I hear no mnsio
dere. It is all desert. Bnt Jesns comes, and
we have springs in de desert, and we have flow
ers. He is de shadow of de great rock in de
weary land for de poor traveler. De heart of
de sinner is de devil's den, bnt Jesns breaks it
np wid his new threshing instrument which is
de hamper of his word.” The fine confusion of
images in the lest sentence did not spoil the
effect. How shall I describe the singing? The
words are somewhat grotesque, and foil of sur
prise. Bat they are rythmical, and, like pro
verbs, bear the muks of many contributors.
Sometimes the melodies are weired and wonder
ful in their pathos. So far as my experience
goes, they are all in a minor key, and echo in
their sadness the harden, of the rade rhymes.
They have a marked rflection for refrains and
choruses, \fhlch very frequently have no rela
tion to the preceding words.
Here is a solo: “De fox have hole in de
ground. Da bird have nest in de air, Ebery one
have a hiding place, Bat we, poor sinners, have
none.” Chorus inquires—“Now ain't that bard?
• rials, great tribulations. Now ain't that hari?
I'm bound to leave this world.” Solo—“Meth
odist, Methodist is my name, Methodist toil die;
I’ll be baptized and live on the Methodist ride,
and Methodist will I die.” Still the chorus in
sists, “Now ain’t that hard?” Whereupon an
other soloist proclaims that she is a Presbyte
rian, and means to die one. Bat even to this
declaration the chorns objects—“Now ain’t that

ton area was reported in 6Tery State. An in
crease over that of last year is now reported in
every State. The per centage of inorease in a
State as found by dividing the aggregate of in
crease in oannties by tbe number reported, is,
as a rale, too high, because almost always the
largest portion of increase will be from counties
hsviog a comparatively small acreage; bnt
reckoning in the rongh way of estimating, the
increase indicated is, in Virginia 23 per oent.;
North Carolina and Georgia 14; South Carolina
Florida 3; Alabama 9; Mississippi and
Louisiana 4; Texas31; AikansaslO; sndTcn-
nesse 15.
This makes ths average inorease in the cotton
States, reckoned in the tame way, nearly 12
per ceLt.
The p» r cent, of increase reported last year
was in North Carolina and Arkansas 16, Sonth
Carolina 9, Georgia and Tennessee 12. Florida
■nd Mi.-I, Bippi to, Alabama and Louisiana 11,
Texas 18. and tho average throughout the cot
ton States approximating 13 per cent.
It will be noticed that in both years Texas
makes the largest relative increase.
Onr reports indicato a prevalent increase in
the relative amonnt of fertilizers nsed. The
acreage cultivated will fall considerably bolow
that planted. A cold, backward spring, cansing
mnch seed to rot in the ground, a very wet May,
preventing work and increasing the subsequent
demand for it, and the impossibility of obtain
ing anffioient labor to Bnbdne over the whole
breadth sown, the excessive weeds and grass
consequent npon the extraordinary wet soason,
conspire to make this resnlt inevitable.
Betnrns concur in plaoing the crop from two
to three weeks later than nsnal.
Florida reports an average condition, two per
cent, above annnal average. All the others fall
below. Virginia and Alabama 7 per cent.;
North Carolina 15; South Carolina 12; Geor
gia and Loniaiana 6; Mississippi and Arkansas
8; Texas 14, and Tennessee 10. Bnt it will be
seen from the extracts below that very gener
ally the weather in tbe last few days of May was
favorable, and there was a hopcfnl prospect that
tbe condition wonid rapidly improve.
Another part of this report will show that
worms and caterpillars have made an early
appearance at varioo3 points, and are oansing
considerable apprehension of destructive rav-
*8“. ^
Virginia, from wb’.oh four counties reported
the caltnre of cotton last year, reports eight
this, and an increase of acreage in all except
Patrick, Chesterfield and King William, in
which it i3 unchanged.
Tee Corn Crop-
The statistical returns of corn completed to
Jnne ilrat, dD not include the areas and condi
tion, for the reason that it is too eaily; bnt the
foot notes of correspondents show (he planting
of oorn in most sections of tbe oonntry has been
much retarded by excessively wet and cold
weather, and that the pests which usually thrive
in snch a season—the cat worms—have com
menced extensive operations and threaten to
greatly damage the crop.

by a very pretty play, and slipped npon an
easy shot. The game then stood: Gamier,

Chicago la • Stew—Prices Down to
Ante-Bellnm Figures.
Chicago, Jens 21.—Daring the past week a
camber of bins of No. 2 corn, amounting in
the aggregate to abont 115,000 bushels, in two of
the elevators here, have been posted on Change,
as is required in snch cases, as ont of oondition.
The n&tnral effect on the corn market has been
to create an unsettled feeling, and to depress
prices, and yesteiday No. 2 com sold at 27c per
bnshel, cash, which is the lowest point touched
in this market for twelve years. There has
been considerable feeling aroused among oper
ators in corn, and charges have been made on
Change and in tbe city press that the corn
posted as heating was fraudulently posted for
the benefit of certain parties and to the detri
ment of tbe trade.
A resolution was introdneed on Change to
day, which under the rales lies over till Monday,
providing for the appointment of a committee
to investigate these charges, and if they find
that there is good grounds for them, in
structing the attorney or the board to ascertain
it there are grounds for legal proceedings
against the parties making tbe postings.

Tbe Story ol tbe fflodoe Massacre as
Told by a Survivor.
Mr. A. B. Meacham, one of tbe peaoe com
missioners who, with General Canby and Bev.
Mr. Thomas, went to hold that lost and fatal
parley with Captain Jack, is now in Washing
ton and barely recovered from the wounds re
ceived on that occasion. To the correspondent
of tho Tribune ho tells the following story of
the massaore:
The three commissioners went into the con
ference taking their lives in their hands. Frank
Biddle, the interpreter, and his wife, who knew
the men they went to meet, tried all means to
dissuade them from going, and Mr. Meacham
says that a Modoc brought word from his camp
to Biddle’s squaw, warning tfcem of their
dancer. Bnt even this had no effect on either
General Canby or Dr. Thomas. Tbo spirit of
the latter, although perhaps not that of a prac
tical man well acquainted with Indian char
acter, was most lolty. In response to the en
treaties of Mr. Meacham, whose experience with
Indians taught him that these warnings had
truth in them, his reply was, in subBtance:
“God will call mo at his proper time. If he
desires mo to offer my life in this manner, I
6hall not withhold it." Both ho and General
Canby were firm in the refasal to permit any
member of tho party to carry arms, as there
was a stipulation to the ccn'rary, or to allow
any promises to be made to the Indians for
temporary purposes that were not meant to be
fulfilled. Mr. Meacham followed tho only
course in honor left open to him. He conld
not, as chairman of the commission, say per
emptorily to two older and more distinguished
men than himself, “You shall not go;” he conld
not remain behind while they ventured alone
into danger. He acoepted the inevitable and
went. He naturally regrets, now, that he did
not refuse to permit the conference, whatever
might have been the oonseqneneea to himself.
Tbe meeting took place in an open space, previ
ously marked by the erection of a white tent,
aronnd which gathered the group as closely as a
oircle of frlend3 in a drawing room. The talk
wont on for some time without accident or
incident. Mr. Meacham, keenly on the watch,
saw fall 20 minate3 before any shot was fired
that tronble was brewing, and saw it in an
event that would have seemed meaningless to
any one nnnsed to Indian ways. He had left
hiB horse untied, and had hang his coat on the
saddle. Hooker Jim tied the horse, and taking
the coat from Us place pnt it on, bnttoned it np
carefully to the chin, and strutted before a com
panion, saying: “Me old Meacham now. Think
I look like* old man Meacham ?" This sudden
outbreak of insolence first awakened his suspi
cions. After the interval of abont 20 minutes
Jack rose and moved back a little from the cir
cle, with hi3 Bide to Gen. Canby and his hand
in his breast. This, Mr. Meacham thinks, was
tbe signal for others to draw near, as two Mo-
docs came running op with goes in their hands.
Seeing their approach all sprang to their feet,
and Meacham cried, “Jack, what does this
mean?” “Kautuxie/” All ready!”—yelled
ont the Modoo chieftain, as he swung ont
his arm and snapped his revolver at Gen.
Canby. Then began the fight, the story of
which has already been told. Mr. Meacham
was Bhot by Schonchin first, who leaped at him
with a revolver in one hand acd a knife glitter
ing above his head in the other. He afterward
became the target of nearly 20 shots, he thinks,
all of which were fired at a range of less than
half-a-dozen yards. By a marvelous good for
tune, none of them entered the skull. As he
lay stunned, the Indians had sufficient time to
Btxip him of his clothing, and were attempting
to get his scalp when Biddle’s squaw, who
seems to have been a ready woman, cried “Sol
diers 1” and the Modoca fled in fright. The
scarcity of hla hair, on which he had then his
first cause of congratulation, was the reason of
this delay, bnt the ingenious savage, rather than
lose such a trophy, wa3 evidently preparing to
take the scalp from the side of toe head, by this
expedient gaining the additional ornament cf an
ear.
The Shah of Persia, now on a visit to Eng.
land, is said to be a man cf forty-five; rather
good looking for an Oriental; an excellent
horseman; courteous in manner; something of
a Haroun al Baschid in doing acts of charity,
and of a Kirg Cophetna in having married a
peasant girl in a romantic freak—possibly
thinking be conld afford it, she being his eighth,
and the others boasting of the purest blood.
With true Eastern calmness, be expresses no
surprise at the novel world through whieh his
travels lead him, and, if a cannon were to go off
accidentally within a few inches of his royal
person, be would take it as a part of tbe cere
monies of the West.
