Columbus Enquirer: About 500 tons
of fertilizers were sold in this section last
year, against !>O7 the year before, and
four thousand the previous season. They
have been supplemented by manures
made at home, and this has proved de
cidedly more advantageous. In the State,
generally, about $3,500,000 of foreign
fertilizers hare been taken. It will re
quire one bale of cotton to every seven
produced in the State to pay for it. This
is pretty severe. It is a matter of great
doubt whether the purchasers have been
compensated by increased yield.
Wayne Triumph 2d; On yesterday, and
even the day before, the major portion of
the citizens of Brunswick were thrown
into an unusual excitement in view of the
trial of certain parties who are supposed
to have been implicated in the forgery of
the names of the llsyor and Treasurer
of the City Council on several thousand
dollar's worth of city scrip, issued in
IST2 or 1873. One of the men concerned
was arrested and lodged in jail
several dayj ago, and was to have
been given a hearing on yesterday,
bat for want of important witnesses
the investigation was postponed. An
other party, supposed to be connected
with the counterfeiting, was also ar
rested and brought before His Honor
James Houston, Judge of the County
Court, during the day, and gave bond for
his appearance at nine o’clock a. m. to
day, when he will undergo an examina
tion as to his guilt or innocence in the
premises. We will withhold his name
until further developments are made
manifest. We sincerely trust, however,
that the party charged with this dishon
orable act may prove himself clear be
yond all question, and that his good name
may remain as of yore—untarnished and
unapproachable.

A correspondent of the Union suggests
—and we heartily indorse the suggestion
—that mas-i meetings be held in every

immigration to the latter State will re

recover in many a year. The people of
the counties ought to move at once.

The Sentinel makes some interesting
compilations from the tax returns of va
rious counties. The population of Frank
lin county is returned at 1,375; value of
real estate, $30,343; value of personal
property, $43,646 ; number of acres
planted in cane, 25 ; number of acres
planted in corn, 50; total number of
orange trees 6,011; total number of bear
ing orange trees, 1,323; number of deaths
from the Ist of January, 1875, to the Ist
of April, 20. The returns show that
there is not an acre of cotton planted in
this county. To the value of real estate
should be added, the Tax Collector
says, the sum of SBO,OOO, and to
the value of personal property, the
sum of SII,OOO, belonging to non
residents. This would made the value
of real estate in the county $140,945, and
that of personal property $54,646. In
looking over the United States census of
1870, we find the population put down at
1,256, and the value of real and personal
property at $227,285. This shows an in
crease of population of 119, and a de
crease in the value of real and personal
property of $32,696. It will be seen that
the proportion of orange trees, bearing,
to the total growth, is a little over one to
evory four. No statistics, with regard to
orauge culture, are given in the census
of 1870, so that we are not able to note
what progress has been made, if any, in
this industry.
The population of Liberty county is
returned at 941; value of real estate,
$30,896; value of personal property,
$29,266 ; number of acres in cotton, 265;
number of acres in cane, 51; number of
acres in corn, 1,057 ; total number of or
ange trees, 3,781; number of trees bear
ing, 725; number of deaths from the Ist
of January, 1875, to the Ist of April, 5.
The United States census for 1870 returns
the population of this county at 1,050,
and the value of real and personal prop
erty at $198,499. This shows a decrease
since then in the population of 109, and
in the value of real and per
sonal property of $138,337. There
is evidently a mistake in the
returns as to the value of real and
personal property in this county, for, by
reference to the tax books in the office of
the Comptroller for last year, we find
that the valuation of personal property
alone is $230 more than the total valua
tion of real and personal property as
given by the census taker. Last year the
total valuation of personal property was
$60,392, and that of real estate $174,870.
The returns from this county are made
up in a very slovenly manner, and are
manifestly not worth the paper they are
written upon, as far as accuracy is con
cerned.
The population of Hernando county
is returned at 3,147; the total number of
orange trees, 105,190; total number bear
ing fruit, 1,454, or one in about every 75;
total number of acres planted in cane,
252. The returns from this county are
very crudely made up, so that we have
not been able to get at the acreage plant
ed in com and cotton. The return made
of the number of orange trees is not
worth much, as it is evident that every
two-leaved sprout from an orange seed
has been returned as a tree. One man
we find has as many as 25,000 of these,
but not a tree bearing. It shows, how
ever, that the people are turning their
attention to orange culture. From the
census of 1870 we find that the popula
tion of Hernando county was then 2,938,
and the valuation of real and personal
property was $474,782. This is a gain in
the population over that of 1870 of 209.
The Palatka Herald says that the house
of a poor white woman near Newtown
was entered a week or so ago by a big
negro who threatened to shoot her if she
made a noise. She was lying ill at the
time. The scoundrel took all her pro
visions and left. The woman has since
died, and it is supposed that her fright
was partly the cause of her death.
Thus the Palatka Herald: Hear what
one of our East Florida correspondents
says: “I bought for S2OO a small tract of
land containing about four acres of
cleared ground and a few shaky houses.
My object was to plant a grove of oranges
and to raise other tropical fruits. My
family and myself cleared ten more acres,
from which we gathered corn, potatoes,
peas, Ac., sufficient to furnish us with
bread and fatten our pigs. Since then
we have done all of our work with our
hands, with something to put upon the
shelf. We have now about thirty acres
of land cleared; half is planted in orange
trees, some of which bloomed last year.
Our banana patch, about thirty yards
square, alone produces enough to supply
us with flour. We haye also a good house
nearly completed. We would not take

Jacksonville Union ; We understand
that a man answering to the description
given by Mr. Farmer, at whose house the
murderer of Johnson stopped, was ar
rested at Key West by Sheriff Roberts,
of Monroe county, on Wednesday, the
25 th ult. The person arrested came from
jessup yia Cedar Keys to Key West, and
sold near Jessup a cream-colored horse
which also answers to the description of
the one ridden by the murderer. These
facts and the fact that the suspected per
son should take a pleasure trip to Rey
West at this time of the year make it
tolerably certain that the murderer of
Senator Johnson has-been captured. We
have no sympathy with cold-blooded
murderers, notwithstanding the Sentinel
from its watch tower may think so, and
hope this man may be speedily hanged if
the crime is proved upon him. At the
same time we are sorry that the State
will probably have to pay out a thousand
dollars, as it is not overburdened with
wealth. The prisoner left Key West
under guard on the steamer which sailed
on Tuesday for Cedar Keys.
Final Presentments of the Urand Jury
of Washing-ton County.
We, the grand jurors of the county of
Washington, selected, chosen and sworn
for this special term, ordered by his
Honor Judge Herschel V. Johnson, for
the investigation and trial of such per
sons as are charged with an attempt to
incite insurrection, make the following
presentment:
Through the dispensation of a kind and
wonderful Providence, the eyes of our
people were opened in time to stay the
threatening demon’s bloody hand; and
thanks, many and loud, should be raised
to high Heaven in praise of that good
Lord who has saved us from so bloody a
scene as was seemingly appreheded.
W c entered upon the discharge of the
duties imposed upon us with great care
and with great solemnity, knowing full
well our weighty responsibilities. Not
withstanding the atrociousness of the
crime charged, we succeeded well, we
think and trust, in dispelling all selfish
ness, all prejudices, and all bitterness
that such conduct is so well calculated to
incite in our weak natures.
Knowing well our actions would be
severely criticised, notwithstanding all
the precautions we could possess our-
we entered fearless, of conse
quences, upon the discharge of the im
portant trust, and now cherish the happy
consciousness of having done our full
duty.
In the presentments of the March
term of this court we congratulated our
people upon the improved morals, the
prosperity, peace and good will that
reigned among us. We, in terms earnest
and as strong as we had language to com
mand, complimented His Honor for the
improved status of our county, brought
about by his rigid administration of the
law, not in the least anticipating such a
diabolical outrage in our midst as has
called this special session of the court.
Some of us, but a few courts past,
served upon a grand jury of this county
that congratulated our people upon the
good feeling that prevailed between the
races, and cautioned our colored people
against those seeking to stir up strife and
arraign the races in antagonism to each
other.
How sad to-day the seeming changes—
how unfortunate for both races. The col
ored people have seemingly allowed wicked
and designing men to inflame their pas
sions to such an extent that some had
been inspired by the wicked one to take
the lives of not c nly white men, but of
innocent and unsuspecting women and
children. Sad indeed to contemplate, if
true.
In our investigations we found the
major portion of the cases charged with
an attempt to incite an insurrection,
when the testimony was most decided as
to their guilt, to be from the counties of
Laurens and Johnson. The larger por
tion arraigned in this county, we are of
opinion, were duped into these nefarious
plots by a few wicked demons, such as the
so-called “Gen.” Rivers, of South Caro
lina, “Gen.” Morris, of Burke county,
and a few others in this and adjoining
counties.
Believing this, we recommended the
discharge of those that were deceived
and misguided, assured that the severe
lesson taught would be regarded as a
warning, and in future they would give a
deaf ear to such abominable wickedness,
and co-operate with all good citizens in
suppressing crime, for without peace and
prosperity among us, no happiness can
exist.
Can we not cherish the hope—believ
ing the larger portion of our colored peo
ple knew nothing of the plot—that in the
future our relations will be undisturbed.
Let this be the earnest desire and effort
of every good citizen, not only of Wash
ington county, but of all this section of
country.
The indiscriminate arrests by our offi
cials, though actuated by the best of mo
tives, was exceedingly unfortunate, and
it is to be regretted; for so large a ebt
to be put upon Washington county at
times so trying financially, is indeed bur
densome upon our people, now already
oppressed in finances.
The liberal policy pursued in holding
those charged with an attempt to incite
an insurrection, from the counties of
Laurens and Johnson, was suicidal and
hasty, as they were not within the juris
diction of this court and should have been
imprisoned and tried in the counties
where the crimes were committed, and
we cgmmend Hi Hon. Judge Johnson
for giving such direction, as no doubt
they will be dealt with as such gross
offenders of the law so richly deserve.
We cannot too highly commend our
people for the wisdom and discretion
displayed by them under such trying cir
cumstances—not a gun having been fired
or a drop of blood spilt -whilst we were
so much exasperated. We have wisely
submitted our grievauces to the proper
tribunal, believing justice would be
meted out to all. We cannot but repeat
our congratulations, that our people,
withholding violent bauds, allowed wis
dom, moderation and justice to prevail.
We were deeply impressed with the
charge of His Honor Judge Johnson, for
the wholesome advice given, and in ex
pounding the law to us; also, for the
wisdom displayed in having his charge
in such shape as not to be misconstrued:
for, as stated, the responsibility involved
in these trials is momentous in impor
tance, not only to the county, but to the
whole country. The legal ability, as well
as the weight of character, so richly pos
sessed by His Honor, makes it indeed
gratifying to us that such trials are under
his charge, for no one will dare impugn
the motives and acts of so great, so good,
and so wise a man.
We offer as a proof our appreciation of
His Honor’s charge, the result of our la
bors in laying hands on the leaders of so
nefarious and wicked a plot, and recom
mend the discharge of the following par
ties: Mack Dorch, George Usher, Cur
rington Kelsey, Jesse Demas, Tom Kel
sey, James Sessions, William Smith,
Erwin Shepherd, Jesse Kitrell, Calvin
Shepherd, Simon Daniel,. Richard Ed
wards, Fred Snell, Virgil Walker, Mitchell
Harris, John Harris, John Roberth, Dan
Smith, Alexander Taylor, March Fitzpat
rick,Edd Jackson,Mose Peacock, Howard
Dillard, Jack Hall, Robert Robison, Ned
Peacock, Adam Spinks, Arthur Hunter,
Willis Duggan, believing they were mis
guided, deceived and duped into these
mischievous and wicked plans, by the
parties named, and that the general good
will be subserved by such action.
In taking leave of His Honor Judge
Herschel V. Johnson, we would be doing
violence to our feelings and great injus
tice to His Honor’s merits, were we not
to tender our heartfelt thinks for his
courtesies to this body, and for his wise
administration of the laws, thus making
crime odious to evil doers.
We assure His Honor his acts and his
memory will ever find an abiding place
deep in the hearts of all our people.
To the Attorney-General, Colonel N. J.
Hammond, we also tender our sincere
and earnest thanks for his presence with
us cn so severe and trying an occasion;
also, for the courtesies extended us and
the impartiality and ability displayed in
the management of the prosecution of
the cases put upon trial.
Also, to the Solicitor General, John W.
Robison, not only for the courtesies ex
tended this body, but also for the facili
ties offered us in dispatching the busi
ness before us.

CHATHAM COUNTY’S AGRICULTU
RAL RESOURCES.
Crop Statistics for 1873—Aa Interesting
Exhibit.
Ascertaining that Mr. Barnard E. Bee.
the courteous Receiver of Tax Returns
for Chatham county, had completed his
work of collecting the agricultural sta
tistics of the county for 1875 and was
about forwarding the report to the Com
missioner of Agriculture at Atlanta, we
called upon him on Saturday and request
ed the privilege of making extracts there
from. The book was kindly placed at our
disposal, and upon a thorough examina
tion we have extracted the following as
of general public interest. These statis
tics are collected by the Receiver for the
Department of Agriculture under the in
structions of the Commissioner of Agri
culture, in compliance with the provi
sions of the act approved February 20,
1*73, and the act amendatory thereof,
approved March 2, 1875. Each tax-payer
is required by law to make these returns
under oath. The importance of full and
correet returns is apparent, and it is the
duty of every tax-payer to make the re
turns promptly and explicitly. As, how
ever, there is no penalty attached to a
failure to comply with these regulations,
many neglected to make the returns, and
additional labor and trouble were thus oc
casioned in gathering the desired informa
tion. It will be observed that the de
faulters’ exhibit is quite large. Annexed
ill be found the returns from the several
districts:

Spelgellzed Iron—Georgia’s Resources.
We were yesterday shown by Mr. Jas.
McPherson, Clerk of the United States
Courts, a specimen of speigelized iron,
from Diamond Furnace, Bartow county,
Georgia, Willard Ward, Esq., proprietor.
This is the first iron of the kind that
has ever been manufactured in this coun
try, and is extremely valuable, being used
in the manufacture of steel.
We learn from Mr. McPherson that Mr.
Ward has been very busy for the last two
months trying to make speigel iron, and
has at last succeeded in making a first-class
article, high enough in manganese and low
enough in phosphorous to bring a first
class price. As stated, this is about the
first successful undertaking of the kind
made in this country. It is an extremely
rare sort of iron in the United States,
and the specimen before us enables us to
understand that “Spiegel” is the Ger
man for “mirror,” as it is peculiarly
bright and brilliant.
The following is aa extract froi% the
letter received by Mr. McPherson:
“ This iron is used in the manufacture
of steel, and as the Bessmer Works are
the only portion of the iron industry
that have not suffered by the late hard
times, will greedily buy all the “Speigel”
they can lay hands on, and we think we
are not over confident when we see a
bright future reflected in our iron mirror. ”
Tlie Notorious “Geu.” Jos. Morris—A
Reward Offered for flis Capture.
The negro “Gen." Joseph Morris, who
figured prominently as a leader of the
late insurrectionary movement, is still at
large, though it is to he hoped that he
may soon be captured and brought to
punishment. Gov. Smith has offered a
reward of five hundred dollars for the
apprehension of this individual, and this,
at least, should be an incentive to some
enterprising detective to go to work to
ferret him out. He is about thirty-five
years of age, tall, and spare made, with
long heels and small thanks, and as black
as the interior of a tar barrel.

SAVANNAH HARKKT.
WEEKLY BSrORT.
OFFICE OF THE HORNING NEWS,!
Savannah, September TANARUS, 1875. f
General Remarks.— Tl.e trade of the city
lias been steadily increasing for the past few
weeks, and msy now he- said to have fairly
opened. Jobbers have all laid in very heavy
stocks in anticipation oi a heavy fall trade,
which is generally conceded we will have.
These stocks have been selected especially to
suit the interior trade, and merchants who have
so far visited the city have seemed well pleased
with assortments, and prices too, and a large
majority of them have purchased quite freely of
all kinds of merchandise.
The jobbing trade of Savannah has now be
come so firmly established, and our jobbers so
well qualifies to select goods to suit the trade,
that interio; merchants and inauy of our local
retailers lino that they can buy to better advan
tage here than m any of the Northern markets.
Many of the goods sold here are bought directly
front agents of the manufacturers, and not from
jobbers, and we are thus enabled to sell at as low
prices as tee same goods can be purchased from
jobbers at in either New York or Boston. The
sooner all interior merchants learn this fact, the
better it will be for them and the country.
Nothing of importance in the way of changes
in the market has occurred during the week. The
prices of dry goods remain firm and unchanged.
Some slight advances are i oted in the grocery
and provision ime. Bacon is firm and higher.
Money is easy and to be had to any reasonable
amount at the banks at the usual rates.
Cotton.—The market has been a little irregu
lar the past week, and more has been done than
for several weeks past. Since the Ist instant re
ceipts have been very good and have made
more margin for buyers to operate, though
prices have declined and holders are
not disposed to sell any more than
they can help at present quotations. On Thurs
day good middling advanced l-16c., and on Fri
day fell off again and remained unchanged
vntil Monday, when good middling and mid
dling were reduced %c., and to-day all grades
fell oil' %c., showing a decline of %c. since our
last report. Our market, of course, has been
controlled by the feeling Nwr York and
Liverpool. Thelrp has been considerable in
quiry in futures in the past few days, though
the sales lor the week only toot up 600 bales for
November and December at 13c. Our market

Crops.—We learn from our correspondents,
an : trorn other sources throughout the cotton
growing sections, that the weather the past week
has been just what was needed at this particular
stage of the plant. It fias been warm and dry,
and in many sections has done an immense
amount of good. If i; will only continue for a
few weeks longer, there will be no more com
plaint of the •‘boil worm,” and with along, fa
vorable picking season, there is every reason to
believe that the result will be satisfactory.
The receipts of cotton at this port for the past
week, from all sources, have been 2,007 bales
upland, against 3,8:3 bales upland and 8 bales
sea island for the corresponding date last year.
The particulars of the receips have been as
follows : Per Central Railroad, 940 bales upland;
per Atlantic aDd Gulf Railroad, 839 b. les upland;
PC. c ‘rts, 40 bales upland; per Augusta steamers,
180 bales upland; per Florida steamers, 8 bales
upland.
The exports for the week have been 914 bales
upland and 20 bales sea island, moving as sfol
lows : To N' ,v York, 445 lwles upland; To Balti
more, 43 bales upland and 'BO bales sea island;
to Philadelphia, 425 bales upland.
The stock on hand at the close of the market
yesterday was 2,119 bales upland and 21 bales gea
island, against 5,476 bales upland and 103 bales
sea island for the corresponding date last year.
