Union says 10 per cent, higher and abont the same decrease in snpply, while labor has increased 200 per oent. Negroes do beat as croppers or tenants, particularly if supervised. Yoxk re ports no great variation in supply or price of negro labor, and no great increase in white labor. Negroes do better for themselves as hired laborers than in any other capacity. The report of the eondition of the crops Is generally unfavorable. On the whole, it is evident that Sonth Carolina needs a more gen oral pitching in to work by the whites. The negroes are imitative: when they see the whites working the crops as if they were in solemn earnest, they follow snit.

He bad rather poor success, inasmach as ho refused give the pledges they required, bnt on the railrosd problem he was outspoken enough. We qnote the following frpm the Herald’s re port of his speech: General Bailer first took np the subject of special legislation, and alinded to the special provisions in favor of corporations in the mat ter of transportation of frolgbt and passengers, giving away from the people the control of the transportation of the necessaries of life and the common highway carriage of persons. . In a neighboring State a single individual had, through special privilege, acquired a fortnne of seventy-fire or a hundred millions. Mnch of the production of the oonntry had been ab sorbed by the few to the explosion of many. The great question of the lionr, therefore, was. How was this charge for transportation of per sons and property to be bronght down to its sim ple elements of oost ? Bat by having the State or nation undertake the bmdsess of rsiJronding for them, Gen. Butler argued, they should have sn- peradded to the bnrdans and wrongs of corporate and private exactions the corruptions and pecu lations incident to the freqnent changes in party political machinery. Let the 8tate open com petition to all in tho conveyance of freight and passengers over the railroads which are its own common highways. The land and the rights of way of all the railroads in the State has been taken by law under tho oonstitntional provisions that the taking was by the government for common convezdenco and necessity of the whole people. Bs it so. Then let every man enjoy this common convenience and have the power to rue the same by patting his car on these highways, subject to snch rules and regulations as may be necessary. All that was necessary was to return to the idea of empowering every man to pnt his car upon the railroad to go over it for a reasonable toll to be fixed by the direc tory, and, of course, subject to sppeal to a prop er tribunal in case of disagreement between its owner and the road. That reasonable toll, of coarse, wonld be the oost of the wear and tear of the road and the oost of the drawing the car, with a fair bnt not exhorbitant use of the capi tal invested. Any oompany or individual could have his own 6ide track and his own warehouse, •hich he might load cars to be drawn by mo tive power of the road ; if not by his own en- gine. __ Correspondence. Under this head, we find the following in a late issue of “The South," published in New York city: Macon, Ga., Jane 27, 1873. Editors of The South : GcrrLXirxx—Under the head of “Georgia," in yonr paper, Macon seems to be continually ignored as a city in the State, while Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Gslnmbu* and MxIIedge- ville are mentioned as chief towns. We beg to state there to such a place as Macon, a growing city of 20,000 inhabitants, situated near the geographical centre of the State, at tbe bead of navigation of the Ocmnlgee river, npon the ter mination of the granite formation, npon the edge of tbe undulating plain seaward. Tbe al titude of the place is about 350 feet above the level of the sea. Five railroads, with several branches, radiate to as many points of the com pass northward, westward, southward and east ward. Tbe place was incorporated as a town in tbe year 1823. In a commercial point of view, no place in Georgia equals it. The article of trade and shipment has been chiefly ootton, tbe receipts having ranged at 80,000 to 130,000 bales per annum. The place has reoently become the chief distributing point of the State for the pro vision trade from the northwest. Tbe health cf the city will compare favorably with that of the Southern or of tbe New England States. We have good schools free to all. Two col leges, male and female, tbe latter, “Wealey&n Female College," to tbe oldest female college in the United States. If from the above facto and other informa tion, yon can locate ns nnder the head of “ Georgia/’ please do so. Your*, truly. A. G. Butts.

The questions submitted wore with ref erence to funds taken from tho Treasury by officers employed in the bnroan by means of forged receipts and vouchers for bounties dne colored soldier*, and by means of receipts and vouchers fraudulently procured from them. The opinion required and was npon two points: First—In cases where the gnilty parties cannot be proseented, what shonld bo tbe conrae in order to secure protection of the interests of the Government and of claimants ? Second—When propeenfion is not barred by the statute limitations, what action shonld be bad, and to what extent is the late commission er of the bnrean of rrf ogees, freed men and abandoned lands and bis chief disbursing officer responsible ? The opinion is, that if any military officer detailed for dnty in the Freedmen’s Bureau has been gnilty of misppropriation of money, or of any violation of tbe rales and regulations gov erning disbursing officers of the army, he may be tried by oonrt-martial in tbe same manner as any other snch army officer; and that claim •gents and other persons not officers of the Government who bave obtained money from tbe bnrean by means of forged receipts and vouchers and other frtnfis, can be proseented criminally if two years have not elapsed since the commission of the crime, and can also be sned in the civil courts of the United States in the same manner as employes of the bnrean can be. There is no statute limiting the time within whioh the Government may bo^in a civil suit, bnt suits for penalties and donble damages nn der the act of Maroh 21, 18G3, mast be began within six years. The Attorney General says: “As to the chief disbursing officer, It is almost impossible, npon tbe faots which are now before me, to state what his liabilities to tbe Government may be. Of oonrse he is liable both civilly and criminally for his own miscondaot. How far he to liable for the acts of subordinates employed nnder him is a question which it is impossible for me to an swer without a copy of his bond, and without more information in respect to his appointment and employment than I have been able to ob tain from the perusal of the papers sent to me. If any other officers gave bonds to tbe Govern ment their seenrities are liable for their mis conduct or loss occasioned by them according the tenor thereof.” Synopsis Weather Statement, War Dxp’t, Office Chief Signal Officer, Washington, Jnly 9.

Salcido oi* a Yonng and Wealthy Widow. Correspondence New York World ] Hillsboro*, Obanoe County, N. O., Jnly 1.— A case of euicido nnder very distressing circnm- stanoes oocnrred night before last at Cedar Grove, distant abont four miles from this town. Mrs. Maria Murray, a yonng, handsome and wealthy widow, took her own life by hanging herself with an extemporized rope made of yarn twisted together. Mrs. Murray w*3 abont twenty-eight years of age, and w*9 the widow of Mr. William Marray, a man who was uni versally respected in the community. She moved in the best society of Orange oonnty, asd belonged to an influential family. Before her marriage she was one of the belles of this vicinity. The melancholy circumstances that led to her suicide are these: When Mr. Marray died, abont two years ago, he had in his em ployment as overseer of his farm a man named Wiiliam R. White, a married man and a person of low breeding, bnt of considerable good looks. This man continued to act as overseer after Mr. Murray’s death, living on the plaoe with his wife. Some months ago Mrs. White became jealon* of Mrs. Marray and charged that an intimaoy existed between her and her hnsband. Gossip took np the tale, and for some time past has been busy with stories of the intimacy. It to said that about two weeks ago faots were developed in Mrs. Murray’s con dition which amply justified the worst that the gossip of the neighborhood had asserted. A six-months* child was prematurely bom, whioh was buried by White and Mrs. Marray in strong ashes. When this fast became known, the sug gestion wps made that the widow and White, as well as the physician who had prescribed tbe mediqine, shonld be arrested for mnrder. White heard of this and immediately disap peared. The effeot on Mrs. Marray was to de press her exceedingly. She made one or two attempts to destroy herself, and in order to pre vent her from oarrying her pnrpose into execu tion her friends and neighbors kept a ceaseless watch upon her. At least one person was al ways with her. On Sunday night one of these neighbors slept with her. Wakicg during the night, she missed Mrs. Marray from her side. A search revealed the faot that Mrs. Murray had hasged herself with the twisted yarn, at tached to an iron ring in a room In the upper story of tbe house. The nnfortnnate woman leaves three children. White will be arrested if he can be fonnd. A Pennsylvania preacher while holding ser vice recently gave thanks in a fervent prayer for the prosperous condition of their crops, “excepting.
