Mr. Jacob Clements, of Alapaha, while under the influence of liquor, became offended at the remark of a negro. Some words ensued, which resulted in Clements drawing a pistol and shooting the negro, the ball entering his head and killing him instantly. He has since disappeared.

When Sheriff Askew demanded to know how or from whom he hid procured the implements with which he was working, George, with a sweet smile, replied: “Mr. Askew, it is your business to keep me in here, and it is my business to get out if I can." Well, the Thomasville Fair won't be much of a failure. John S. llarrall, formerly a Ii adica office holder in Stewart county, was killed recently by one of his tenants.

A Decatur county negro worked himself up into such a passion the other day, that he was compelled to put an end to the exist ence of a colored brother. it is impossible to speak of the State Fair with anything like precision.

The Atlanta Constitution ssys: “The Haverly troupe give a benefit also to the Memorial Association of Macon, Saturday night. They certainly deserve high com mendation for such liberal conduct, and will be rewarded for it.” 1 hey are not giv ing these benefits to gain popularity. There is no such clap-trap about the concern. The secret of the whole matter is, that the troupe has been so successful that they can afford to follow the irown inclinations in the niattor of benefits and the like. When an Atlanta man disappears, his fatuity know that he has been either lucked up as a juryman, or detained at the circus. Pig-Iron Ko ley stopped in Atlanta long enough to plaster up tlie places from which Senator Bayard lifted the hide. And now they are going lo have a “Grange Temple” in Atlanta. Is this sort of thing to have no ending ? Tho jury which examined into the sanity of Brinkley, tho Newnan wife-murderer, has agreed to disagree. Atlanta has had a shower of striped grasshoppers.

The gin liouso of Mr. D. S. Rodding, a few miles from Griffin, was dostroyod by fire the other day. The Thotnasvillo Exposition will be the largest fair held in Georgia this year. If you don’t believe it, go and see. Atlanta now wants a sowing machine factory. Sho ought to be satisfied with her lager beer foundry. Sawyer seems to be getting right straight after Kimball. Hi Hannibal will have to call for tho calf-rope before this thing is through with. The La Grange Reporter demands the re peal of the law that exempts Beveutv-five dollars worth of personal property from taxation. It boliovus that the only tvay to distribute tho burden of government justly is to make each person pay his share, be it large or small. And could anything be juster ? Tho Newnan Star nays that Mr. I. N. Far mer, liviug near that town, has made this year, on a two-plow farm, live hundred and forty bushels corn and at least twelve bales of cotton. Ho lost liis right arm in the first battle of Manassas, but still he makes a full hand at all farm work, using the stump arm with remarkable facility. All the work on his farm this year has been performed bv himself and one able-bodied hand, and fifty-seven days’ work of hix-od hoeing. He run only two plows. He has sold wood enough to pay Ins hoe hands, and don’t owe a cent for supplies. The Butler Herald learns that a Miss But ler, daughter of the watchman at Flint river bridge, on the Southwestern Railroad, was run over and killed by a poll car yester day evening late. She has been in the habit of putting her foot ou the track and jerking it up just in time for tho cars to miss it, or get ou the track aud run off just in time to escape being run over; but this last time proved fatal. She was standing on the track, facing the poll ear (which was coming up to Reynolds to let the gravel train pass), and put her foot up as if sho intended stop ping it, but before she could turn to leave the track she had met her sad fate, aud was crushed to death. The poll car was running down grade at the speed of twenty miles an hour, and it was impossible for it to be stopped.

Columbus Ehguirer: The Savaunah Ca dets, at the late State Fair in Macon, won the prize for being the best-drilled company in tho State, over tho organizations of Macon, Atlanta aud other places. This year her rifio team took a $3 JO prize from twelve competitors from all parts of the State. Though only a way station for cotton ou the route to New' York and Europe, she shows proudly whenever a test of merit transpires, and in hospitality is the queen iest city iu the world. How shoddy the banquets of Atlanta appear by the side of that of the elegant Savaueae. Bainbridge Democrat: During the pre liminary trial of Milo Donaldson, for the offense of murder, before his Houor Judge Campbell, oil Wednesday, is was affecting indeed to witness the interest manifested in tho prisoner by his former master. Milo had slain, iu mortal combat, one of his race. Au unusual array of persecution was dis played towards him by his own color. He could look, in his forlorn condition, not to his race for succor—for he was totally de serted by them iu his fearful hour of need. Then to whom could he look? His former master—true to his instinct and moved by au everlasting affection aud attachment for his former slave—with out solicitation from anyone, but moved by an honest desire to see liis old servant secure justice and see him ably represented by Counsel, set himself to work aud procured the very best counsel he could get at his own expense, and he is now being ably rep resented before the committing court.' The deep and uninterested devotion of the former master on this oeeasiou was indeed affecting. He and his former slave were reared together in their childhood, and he eould not bear the idea of deserting him in his time of need. Augusta Constitutionalist of Saturday : A visit was made yesterday to Crawfordville, by a representative of the Constitutionalist who ascertained that the “Great Commoner” is still iu a condition to excite the appre hensions of his friends. Dr. Steiner was hastily summoned to his bedside on Satur day night last, and remained in close at tendance until Wednesday night. Dr. Kent was with Mr. Stephens when our represent ative visited “Liberty Hall.” Painters are engaged in painting the outside of the house, and the interior has evidently just been painted and renovated. The writer is a sufferer from colie wherever painters are using white paint, and the idea occurred to him that the ill ness of Mr. Stephens might be traced to this cause. Still, Dr. Steiner, from his diagnosis of the case, decides that his pa tient is suffering from a neuralgic affection of the chief organs of the stomach, and it was reported yesterday, gouty symptoms have manifested themselves. 'No person outside of Mr. Stephens’s family circle are permitted to visit him, as it only excites him. Any cause which occasions' excite ment to him rushes his pulse up to 110, and as the healthy normal pulse is from 60 to 75, our readers can judge of his condition. Doses of morphine, of about one eighth of a grain, are administered to give him relief from the pain he naturally suffers. Major Miller, his secretary, informed our representative that the second attack occurred last Saturday as Mr. Stephens was chatting with some friends, especially in relation to his labors on John son’s E'ncvclopcedia, which has already reached the letter “M.” The discussion of all subjects likely to excite Mr. Stephens, have been tabooed since he was first at tacked. Everyone having the welfare of the country—particularly the South—at heart, cannot bat view with intense interest the state of Mr. Stephens's health, for bis opio ions at this juncture of affairs will be in valuable in pointing oat the true coarse for patriots to pursue. A cotton seed thief has been brought to grief in Bainbridge. Blocker, a Deputy United States Marshal, has actually succeeded In cepturiDg a crazy negro named Ike Wimberly, iu Columbus, and has carried him to Montgomery under a charge of voting illegally in Alabama. And yet there are thoee amongst us who contend that tbese Federal beef-eater* are inefficient. The Atlanta Commonwealth seems to be of the opinion that Judge Hopkins is not at present in a proper condition, mentally or physically, to sit to judgment upon his'fel lo* man, and suggests that he retire until his health is restored. Mr. Frank Phillips, of Columbus, acci dentally shot his brother Wy.ly the other day while out hunting. The wound is pro bably fatal. A white man in Oglethorpe county suc ceeded in breaking a negro’s head With so feeble an instrument as a noe-handle. Surely this is the age of miracles. A correspondent of the Hawktnsville Dis patch says that Mr. J. It. Smith, of Coffee county, formerly Messenger of the House of Representatives, has not bought a pouud of meat for family use since the war, hut has sold a quantity every year; that he has corn to spare, but never sells it, preferring to loan it to ins people and receive pay in kind; that he has both gold and greenbacks loaned out, and refuses to take any interest over seven per cent.; that he favors a con stitutional convention and a redaction of salaries, and a session of the Legislature every four yetrs; and that he is no Granger stumping the State with an eye to the Gov ernorship.

Jackson Carter has been sentenced to be hanged in Ware c mnty on the 19th of No vember. He killed h s brother-in-law. Mr. William 11. Foy, one of the most faith ful officers ou tho Macon and Brunswick Railroad, is dead. Here is the way the Appeal talks about the progress of Brunswick : “Two oyster canning establishments, a grist mill, a stave manufactory, cotton rolling through, tur- I pontine stills to be located here, and per haps a tannery also; all new enterprises, aud developed within a few weeks.” The Thomaston Herald lea ns from relia ble authority that Judge George W. Davis, of Upson county, has gathered from nine acres of laud four indeed andjifty bushels of good corn, au t wage of fifty bushels to tne acre. In Pulaski county a man can’t visit his own fish-trap without getting shot. Valdosta will be largely represented at the Thomasville Fair. An Alapaha man killed a negro the other day. Tho man was drunk, and tho trouble arose, as usual, from a very trivial cause. Sugar boilings have begun in Southern Georgia. Judge Buchanan will probably retire from the bench. Major J. V. H. AUon has been nominated for Ma.'or of Augusta. Sorghum syrup is popular iu Meriwether. Captain Thomas B. Stubbs has became editor of tho Hamilton Visitor. A sewing machine agent eloped from Ma rietta the other day. Athens Georgian: There are now in the University something less than two hun dred students. They are all orderly and steady, and are prosecuting their duties vigorously. More will undoubtedly come in after awhile, and we hope to see our college well filled. Prof. Lumpkin tells us that the average ages of the students are greater than usual, the majority being between eighteen and twenty, and very few below seventeen. We aie glad to hear this, be cause everybody knows that the older a boy is, tho better can he appreciate the ad vantages of such an institution as ours. Aud, again, younger boys are more apt to ho led astray by lntluencos which necessarily surround him at any and every college. Prof. Cumming, of the chair of natur.il philosophy aud astronomy, has been heard from aud will be here about the Ist of No vember next. Valdosta Times: After the repeated solici tations of her friends, Mrs. Juliette Ashley has consented to allow her daughter, Vir ginia, of thirteen summers, to outer at the Thomasville Fair for the premium offered for the best young lady performer on the piauo under eighteen. Little Virginia has never scon a professor and has taken only fifty-two lessons under her mother. She lias had access to a piano off and on for only two years, and for live mouths recently her practice has been on an organ altogether, still thero are few young ladies iu the com munity who can excel her. The pieces she will play at Thomasville she has selected aud learned herself. The Sandersville Herald has the following scene iu Johnson Superior Court: The case of the State vs. John Caroway was called, when Gen. R. W. Carswell, who represented tho accused, arose and said, “ May it please your Honor, the defendant, John Caroway, who, as your Honor will observe, is a gay and festive youth, has been engaged for some time past in the effort to woo and win tho rustic maiden, Leonoro Price, now by his side; they have now determined 'to per petuate matrimony, and request that your Honor will tie the mystic knot between them, and thus absolve them from all charge of crime, and send them ou rejoicing. Whereupon His Honor proceeded, in the presence of a large ojiowd assembled in the court house, to pronounce one of the most eloquent and touching marriage ceremonies ever heard. The bride aud groom presented a rather unique appearance, arrayed in their marriage costumes, both being barefooted aud clad in homespun clothes. Hawktnsville Dispatch: A party of dis guised men, numbering forty or fifty, went ou horseback to the store of Bob Smith, at Allen’s cross roads, in Wilkinson count}', on Saturday night laßt, and set fire to the building, which was entirely consumed, to gether with a large stock of new goods and a four-horse wagon containing five bales of cotton. Willie Smith, a nephew of the pro prietor, was sleeping in the store. He was awakened and told to take out his owu clothing and other effects, and also permit ted to remove the books and valuable papers of the store. He requested the privilege of moving the wagon load of cotton, but was refused. A chest of tools belonging to Mr. McCoy was also taken out. When the build ing was partly enveloped in flames the party left in a gallop. Montezuma Weekly : Mr. William Jay, the bridge builder on the Southwestern Railroad, tells of a frog that was encased in the brick foundation supporting a marked column of the tressel leading to the bridge over Flint river, which, to his certain knowledge, has occupied his place of confinement for some thing over twelve years, and yet, to his utter astonishment, when the light of the sun reached his subterranean vault a few days ago, the frog was found to be as healthy 'as when buried iu the spring of 1863. While constructing this foundation in 1863 the idea occurred to him that the test might be made, and as the circumstances authorized the project, the plan of a test was adopted without any settled notion as to the fact of his experi ment ever being fully realized under bis personal observation. Tho oft repeated story of this animal’s ability to live for ages iu a dormant state he thinks is fully con firmed since the frog alluded to exhibited no change in its appearance other (ban of a manifest bleaching from the effect of its long retirement. When confined to the repository of its twelve years inactivity it reposed iu an indenture of its shape and size formed in the soft mortar by its weight, w'hich had long since resolved into the consistency of stone, aud when released by an incision into the structure a few days' ago, the frog leaped from its confinement, leaving the mark of its shape, which had thus hard ened >nto adamant around him. There is no telling how long this frog may have lived in this home of his confinement. South Carolina Affairs. Major J. M. Martin, an aged citizen of Rock Hill, died on Saturday. He was the oldest Mason in the State. Immigrants are arriving in Greenville in small squads. Col. Riou, of Winsboro, has pre sented the editor of the News several tea seed taken from a plant now growing in his yard. The plant is luxuriant, and measures five feet eight inches in height. It is not protected from cold, but shares the winter just the same as the other shrubbery. The seed was planted in 1860. This is still another evidence that the South is the garden spot of the world, and especially Fairfield. Almost any thing can be raised there with proper at tention. The torch of the incendiary destroyed three houses in Columbia for Mrs. M. W. Stratton, Monday night. Her son in-law, J. D. Giilman, has been arrested and locked up as the guilty party. Gov. Chamberlain will address the visitors to the Greenville Fair. His speech will be an eztempo. Chicken cholera is prevailing in Winns boro. The young bloods of Columbia got in a row with the circus men during the stay of the show in that town, and the result was two of them were badly beaten. Two circus men were arrested. One of the most successful planters in Marion county, writing to his Charleston correspondents, says: “I drop you this note to inform you that the cotton was killed dead on Saturday and Sunday nights, 16th and 17th insts., and this is, I think, very early; there has not been such a frost here so early in the season as this in over twenty years. My crop will be considerably injured by it, and, indeed, the whole of this section of the coun try.” The prospects of the Spartanburg and Ash ville Railroad are continually brightening. The work is going steadily ahead. County fairs are in progress in Green ville and Abbeville counties. The Irish Volunteer Rifle Club, of Charleston, propose to adopt anew uni form. It will be similar to the one worn by the New York Seventh Regiment. The census of Sumter county : Grand total, 31,480. Whites, 8,394; colored, 23,086; white voters, 1,827; colored voters, 4,362.

Wright, J. W. Crnn, J. W. Calhoun, Dr. T. J. Teague, F. M. Gibson and Geo. J. Toney. Mr, W. Pugh Jones’s bar room, not quite finished, was also burned. Out of all this valuable real estate only two houses were insured, and only two of the stocks of goods were protected by a policy of insurance. The aggregate loss, as estimated by the parties them selves, is about thirty-four thousand dol lars. The losses ou every side are severe. Some lost everything they possessed in the world. No dwellings were burned and no person was seriously hurt, although several ran a narrow risk of their lives from the explosion of kegs of powder, which various parties forgot to remove promptly from their stores. The fire was the work of an incendiary. The Union-Herakl announces authori tatively that the Phcenix has suspended indefinitely. J. A. Selby, Esq., the pro prietor, has gone into voluntary bank ruptcy, and an injunction has been issued against certain creditors who were about to levy on his property. The magnificent granite Post Office just finished at Columbia, was opened to the public on Tuesday.

As a criterion of the state of trade, the statistics of fail area in business are inter esting in such periods as the present, and we avail ourselves of the opportunity af forded by Messrs. B. G. Dun A Cos., of the Mercantile Agency, to present our readers with the figures for the past nine months. The elaborate quarterly circular of the agency contains details that our apace will not permit to publish, but a synopsis wifi convey all that is essential. It appears that the failures in the United States for the three quarters have been as follows : 1875. Number. Amount. January, February and March. .1,888 $43,17G,000 April, May and June 1,581 83.657.000 July.

But with the total failures of previous entire years before us, divided by three-fourths, a comparative result is reached, which will be sufficient for all practical purposes. rr otal Three- Total Tbrec- Faiiures fourths Liabilities fourths for Year, of Same, for Year. of Same.

The effects of the panic of 1873, or rather the excesses of which that was the climax, are eeen in a great number of the casualties included in the foregoing figures. Certainly the increase in the amount of the liabilities is traceable to the attempt, on the part of some of the heav iest houses v, ho have succumbed, to float themselves along by increasing their obligations, and otherwise postponing the evil day, in the hope ol a revival of business and a return of better times, When their assets would become more realizable. Then it must be borne iu mind that just such a period as this tests very severely the stability of all whose affairs are at ail. expanded, while those whose claims t o credit rest only on previous reputation, and who have only the shell or poor remains of lost or diminished fortunes, are utterly unable to withstand the search ing, realizing spirit of the day. The times are unfavorable to such as these, and the consequences are to be seen in a largely in creased list of failures and heavier liabilities than in the average of years. Departure from legitimate business principles, perhaps iu former years, or even of more recent oc currence, is the cause to which not a few of the failures of the last quarter can be traced, and these results are more properly charge able to the indiscretion of individuals, or their want of judgment, than to a disorgan ized or unsafe condition of trade.” It is apparent from the foregoing figures and other indications that the disease with which the commercial community has been affected is one of slow development; but it by no meanß follows that, because the symptoms are now becoming more marked than formerly, the recovery of the patient is any the more remote. On the contrary, there are many indications, referred to iu the circular, of returning health and vigor. Chief among the hopeful signs of the times is the disposition to rapidly realize upon the abundant crops which have been so successfully harvested, and which must greatly increase the purchasing and debt paying power of a large class of the com munity. In anticipation of this movement in oropß and currency, the agency reports that a very fair trade has been' done at almost all jobbing centres, and though business by no means attains its former volume or profitableness, the results of tbe autumn trade are in the main encouraging. The circular goes on to state that “numer ous interests remain depressed; that capital continues timid and hence idle; that many manufactories are only partially etnployed; that some staples of merchandise show no profit, while others can only be sold at a loss; and that there is much which prevents a hopeful view of business matters.” These considerations, no doubt, account for the increased number of failures. There is no denying the fact that the reduction of the volume of business, tbe seeming impossi bility of largely reducing expenses, and above all, the eiormous number engaged iu business, iu proportion to the trade to be done, even in the best of years, and which periods like the present “weed out” most effectually—these are causes for an increased latlure list, which may justly be attributed to the pressure of the times.’ But, after all, as the Agency suggests, it may be doubted if this process is au unmixed evil. As to the future condition of the trade of the country, there are, as above alluded to, some hopeful signs, and the convictions seems to bo that, “as compared with the condition of things at this date last year, there is certainly an improved prospect. Notwithstanding the figures presented above, the year has been by no means one of disaster, and, though the process seems a slow one which leads on to prosperity, it is none the less a sure one.” The circular concludes with a practical, and we take it a very timely warning, in reference to loose credits, and states that: “ There is noticeable a gradual increase in the time of credit given and the great advance in tho amounts granted. An undue expansion of credits for the purpose of in ducing business is an evil policy at any time, but it is peculiarly so when economy, re stricted trade and gradual reduction of ex isting indebtedness should be the features of the hour. Cheap credit is the sure pre cursor of disaster, and, while the strongest element in the financial fabric in these try iug times has hitherto been the small in debtedness, it is not difficult to see that if the lines of credit become lax in time, amount or character, all that promises fa vorably will only contribute to hasten an unhealthy and an unsafe condition of busi ness. If, on the contrary, a wise conserva tism is practiced in this respect—if the standard of credit is elevated, rather than lowered, and a rigid scrutiny made into the claims of all tvho seek it, the prosperitv for which all pray will come as soon, and be far more likely to stay when come it does.” The tendency of unwise credits is illus trated by the figures given of the failures in Canada, which indicate that though the trade of the Dominion two years ago was very prosperous, in the past nine months thirty in every thousand traders have failed, while the figures in the United States show that only < 'ght in every thousand have suc cumbed. It is stated that the solid pros perity of the great body of the people of the Dominion is undoubted, and already good progress is being made toward recov ery in the health of its trade, but the figures referred to teach the lesson that expansion in unwise credits is most delusive and dan gerous.

WEEKLY REPORT. .OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS,) Savannah, October 2i, 1575. f General Remarks.— Business has been rather quiet the past week in all branches of trade, though a very satisfactory amount has been done. The continued ease in the money market seems to have the natural effect of reviving business, still it is conducted in such a quiet manner that every thing has the appearance of being dull. The job bers, however, say that they are constantly fill ing orders, which will constitute the largest part of business the balance of the season, as buyers through the interior have nearly ail been in the market and com pleted their fall and winter stocks. The late cold weather had the effect of bringing many mer chants into the market who had delayed their fall purchases ns long as they could- They bought fall stocks of all kinds of merchandise, and most of them have returned. There have been no •• ranges of importance in the dry goods market since our last (report, notwithstand ing the fact that prints and domestic cotton goods have suffered a very heavy decline in the Nortnem marke s. The decline, however does not appear to be a legitimate one, bnt is of a speculative nature, and prices will probably be settled again in the coarse ot a few day*. The high price of bacon noted in our last report has been abate i by the restoration of quiet in the Western markets, and quotations are reduced to 13c, for clear rib sides, and other meats have un dergone a proportionate reduction. The money market has been fairly active dur ing the week at tin! usual rates, though there has been some excitement caused l>y the suspension ot a large cotton commissiou house. Securities have been in demand at advanced prices, and large sales have been made. Cotton.—The market for spots was quiet but firm during the early part of the week, but later, upon advices of an adverse nature from control ling markets and the exceedingly heavy receipts it became dull and irregular, and for the last three days prices have been steadily declining until to-night, when they show a decline of %c. since last reported. On Wednesday they de clined %c. On Thursday there was a like falling off. On Saturday there was still a further decline of Sic; on Monday a %c., and to-day we note a further reduction of l-16c. Holders have gener ally been unwilling to meet these prices and have resisted them whenever they could, but buyers, of course, would pay no more, and have purchased freely whenever holders would meet their views. We give below the daily resume of the market for each day during the week, which will fully explain the tone aud condition of the market for the week. The market closed quiet to-night.
