Columbus t'nquirer ; On Monday night a
very severe tiro occurred in Lumpkin at a
late hour. The conflagration was ou the
oast sido of the square. The dry goods store
of Htolces A Kimbrough, and the grocery
house of W. K. Giliits were burned, together
witli all the buildings (mostly law ami other
offices) ou that sido to the vacant lot. The
Buddiugs wore of wood. The firms named
had pretty full stocks. Thero was no insu
rance. Some of the lawyers are reported to
have had consumed libraries and furniture.
From the fact after the tire the sale of
Stokes A Kimbrough was found broken
open, it is supposed that the establishment
was robbed aud then tired. The loss is
heavy when men lose tlieir all.
Atlauta Herald: A sail family last night

iblast for himself and his. They liad come
from Sarasota Bay, Fla., and were traveling
to reach their old aud native home in Bar
tow oouuty. The man was once a school
teacher. They are a helpless and needy
family, and the case is an appealing one to
all benevolent-minded persons to lead a
j, elpiug baud to them in their distress. Wo
ist the good citizens of Atlanta will find
t their hearts to do souietliiug for relief

H. Hardaway, of Thomas county,
writes : “It gives me pleasuro to promptly
answer your question as to the cost per
pound to raise cotton. I give you the cost
for seven years, to-wit: 1860, 14:50; 1807,
12:50:1868,12:25;
1871, 13:61; 1872, 10: i7- -The average is
11:88. This includes inte vr ost on value ql
land, repairs, interest ou teaii. l . taxes, fertil
izers, labor of cultivating, picking and pack
ing, hut nothing added for personal super
vision. The latter would be hard to esti
mate. This year’s crop has not been mar
keted, but will not exceed ten cents. I keep
a record of my crop annually, and it simply
required the copying, as the calculation was
already made aud entered on my memoran
dum book.”
Dr. Folks, of Waycross, gives the Valdosta
Times a timely article descriptive of how
clay may bo made to retiue sugar : When
the sugar is sufficiently dripped, spread it
about two inches thick on clean smooth
pi inks, fastened together like a battern
door, then spread soft wet clay ou it about
the same thickness. Put a thin piece _of
homespun between tlio sugar and clay. The
sugar so prepared cau be kept in the open
air in fair weather, and in-doors in bad wea
ther. As soon as tlio layer of clay is thor
oughly dry take it off, when tho sugar will
he foijpd brilliantly white, the wet clay hav
ing extracted all tho coloring matter. If
you should bo satisfied with the experiment
and the result, you cau continue the process
until you have prepared all you want for
family use, aud your surplus, which will find
a ready sabt and at an increased price, pay
ing you woll for your trouble.
The Columbus Enquirer heard one of the
most intelligent farmers in Muscogee coun
ty say the other day, that he was making
far more money on crop grass hay than by
his cotton. The formor cultivated itself.
All he had to do was to cut and bale it. The
cotton was worked, in fact, all the year ; for
there’s hardly a time when a planter is not
doing something for cotton. The staple
barely saves expenses, while the commonest
grass’ which grows everywhere, is putting
money in his pocket. He has plenty of corn
this year, and hence is so much hotter.
Planters should now begin to thoughtfully
consider. From replies sent hnn from all
parts of the State, the Commissioner of Ag
riculture, Dr. Janes, estimates that it cost
this season eleven cents per pound to raise
cotton, and fifty-eight cents for a bushel of
corn.
The Perry Home Journal says that at the
last meeting of Perry Grange it was unani

prepare and plant each one acre of land in
wheat this season ; and that the member re

titled to and receive cue bushel of wheat
from each member of the Grange who may
engage in said contest for the premium—
ach contestant to furnish the Graugo with
a description of his land, preparation, for
ttiization, kind of wheat sown, and all the
particulars of cultivation. Also, as many
as may incline, to put in one acre of oats
subject to the same regulations and pre
mium. Also, to raise one pig to the age of
one year, aud the one successful in raising
the finest hog to receive a ham from each
member. Every member of the Grange is
considered as taking part in these contests
unless he notifies the Secretary of his de
clination. •
J. W. Small, in Atlanta Constitution: An
old darkey of the ante helium type was found
prowling arouud iu among the offices of one
of the railroads ending in Atlanta. “VYhar
is de boss of de railroad cars, young mas
ter?” he anxiously queried. We directed
him to the office of the distinguished Presi
dent of the road and he entered it, bowing
and grinning in a very imposing way.
“Well, old man ?” said the President. “Yes,
sah Ef yer could spare time ter talk ter
an ole nigger a few miuits, sah?” “Oh, yes;
what is it?” “Well, yer see, Boss, I isD’t a
much iarned nigger and libs in de country,
an’ de gemmau down stairs said he’d sell
me a first-class ticket in de secon’-class kyar,
an’a seeon’-class ticket was desameiiira

ter get him neck bruk ’bout ais fus’-class
secon’ Kyar bizness ef he don’t git it jis
right, so I come up to you what am de giu

plained, aud the old man left in a serene aud
happy frame of mind.
Atlanta Herald: A reporter of the Herald
met a gentleman yesterday who had just
had a long talk with Foster Blodgett, over
in poor Carolina. He is inclined to the be
lief that what the Herald said in regard to
Blodgett’s return to Georgia is true. He
thinks, as we do, that Blodgett is likely to
turn up in Atlanta on auy of these "fine
mornings. We are wiling to stand on the
assertion that Blodgett will be in Georgia in
less than sixtv days, either upon his own
accord or upon a demand from the*Gover
nor. Blodgett says that he has about con
cluded njt to publish his book, descriptive
Of the scenes in the Bullock regime, as he
does not think that it would sell outside of
Georgia, and besides we think that he can
make more money by not publishing, than
he could by publishing if. He is very much
discouraged by the political outlook. He
says that the Radicals will probably carry
South Carolina next year, under press of the
Radical canvass, bat thinks this 'will be the
last time the State will ever go with the Re
publican party. We pray that his prophe
cy may prove "a true one.
David Dickson, of Hancock county : You
ask ms what it costs me to make cottoD.
At ouo time I could have told you its cost
per potnd; but what it costs to make it now
depend! ou so many contingencies it cannot
be estimated beforehand. I have sixty or
seventy tenants, and it costs no two the
same to make cotton. It depends on the
price of labor and its efficiency, direction of
the son and rain, time and quantity, worms,
caterpillars, storms, frosts, and land as well
as many other things. Crops vary from one
bale to eight bales per haud. There is one
thing certain, when cotton is below 16 cents
the tenant and landlord, in four cases out of
five, lose money. For example, two hands
on au average in Georgia, without manure,
will make about 3 bales each, making 6
bales; planting 12 acres each in cotton,
making 24 acres; 6 acres each in corn, mak
ing 12 acres; that is, per each mule, 36
acres. You may say this is low average, but
it is high enough as Georgia now is.
Six bales cotton. 2,400 pounds at 16
cents S3S4 00
Six bushels corn per acre on 12
acres at $1 per bnshel 72 00
Fodder 7 20
463 20
Less rent of laDd 145 80
347 40
One mule and feed $175 00
Tools, machinery and
horses 20 00
Hire of two hands 240 00
Use jt house, board and
wood 120 00
555 00
Loss 207 60
You may say my estimate is too low.
Then add to the product 331-3 per cent.,
making $463 20j still a loss of s9l 80. Add
on 50 percent., makiDg four and one-haif
bales per hand and nine bushels of corn,
and amounting to $521 10, still a loss of
£l3 90. Who will say a band will make four
and a half bales of cotton without manure,and
fifty-f ur bushels of corn, which is in the
last estimate ? I can see very plainly what
causes so much loss and hard times. The
planter furnishes everything—houses, gar
dens, patches, and the best wood on his
place, free of charge. The true plan is to
pay for all you get, and get pay for all you
lei go. The planter fnrnishes house, wood,
fruit, garden aDd patches, for three per
sons, to get poor labor out of one—out of
proper time, poor in quality, etc.
Atlanta Constitution : We learn from a
gentleman who passed through Douglass
ville on Wednesday, that James Clinton had
been committed for the murder of James
Seal. The evidence was very strong against
him, and the current opinion was that Clin
ton would turn State’s evidence against his
two accomplices, who were to have a pre
liminary examination yesterday. The body
of the murdered man was exhumed, a post
mortem held to find the ball, but with what
result, our informant did not know. Strange
rumors are afloat concerning the probable
connection of the accused with the killing of
a man named Ilicka near Dallas some five
years ago. Hicks’ house was fired, and as
he ran out of the house he was shot and
killed by parties in ambush. It is thought
that Clinton’s evidence will disclose the
perpetrators of this deed.
Thus the Griffin News: Friday, as the
S. G. A N. A. train rolled up to the depot
the conductor, Davie Croft, lit off and
shouted “Griffin 1 change cars for Atlanty!”
A pompous, fat individual, who had been
enjoying a comfortable’ snooze, was awak
ened" suddenly by the conductor’s shrill pip
ing, and raising the window gazed in aston
ishment at Dave’s meagre make up. Be
coming satisfied at last that h was in the
flesh, he withdrew his cranium inside and
rubbing his own portliness where it is most
convenient to rub, he soliloquized thusly:
“Well, that fellow makes more noise than
a hand calliope. I had no idea that he had
enough breath in him to make a damp spot
on a ten cent looking glass.”
Columbus Enquirer : The homestead laws
of Georgia give heads of families SI,OOO
personalty and $2,000 real estate in gold. An
endeavor was mado at the last session to re
duce this amount, but it failed. The Legis
lature granted such estates to be encum
bered and sold with the consent of the par
ties and when sanctioned by the Ordinary.
The Supreme Court has decided this cannot
be done. A number of these homesteads
have beeu disposed of, and some inquiry
has been made regarding them at the Ordi
nary’s office. The lawyers generally are of
the opinion no fortunes are to be made in
this business. Very few are able to pay
counsel very heavy fees, and if you go halves
and recover land, it hardly .pays the taxes.
Such cases do not appear to be sought after
with the greatest avidity.
Florida Affairs.

The Sentinel has heard another version of
the Wakulla county murder. It is said
that since the indictment of Walker he has
made a eonfessiou to this effect; He says
that on the night of the murder Joe Allen
came to his house about 8 o’clock, and asked
him to go coon hunting with him. Allen
had his gun with him. He consented, and
when a short distance from his house, Alien
said to him, “you know the difficulty be
tween me and Jackson? Well, lam going
to kill him right now. Here is ten dollars
if you go along with me, and if you don’t I
will kill you right on the spot.” Walker
was terrified, and went along; and he says
that Allen put his gun through the
opening in the wall of Jackson’s house
and shot him. He says further that Allen
had lus feet wrapped in moss to conceal
his tracks. While in prison, before the
meeting of the grand jury, Allen and he
were in the same cell, and Allen told him if
he were called before the grand jury to
swear that he knew nothing about it. He
did so, being, *s he says, terrified by the
threats of Allen. Seeing that Allen has
escaped and that he is held, he now makes j
a confession of the whole matter. He says '
that he could have no possible motive lor
the murder of Jackson, for they were good
friends ; but that Allen and the deceased
were enemies, and that Allen had attempted
to take his life before. In defense of Allen
it is said that ou the night of the murder he
had a sick child, and he can prove by parties
who were with him that he was not out of
the house during that night. Thus the
matter stands.

iu which was stated that the party
or parties aud cause was unknown
—since the shooting we have been informed
that on the night of the shooting, one Jack
Clark, a colored man, a notorious villian and
thief, was undoubtedly the party who did
the shooting, and F. McKeel,another colored
man, a teacher of one of the public schools
of this county, was arrested and tried
before ’Squire Harvey, at Greenwood,
as accessory furnishing Clark with
the necessary ammunition to commit
the act. The evidence was insufficient,
however, to warrant a committal, and
McKeel was released. Clark had already
left for parts unknown. The reported cause
of the shooting is, that Wnorley and Mc-
Keel are aspirants for candidacy to the Leg
islature. Some time since Whorley, bv let
ter to Rev. George Martin, denounced
McKeel as a bummer and instrumental ini
the defeat of a Republican in Alabama. If
the above statements be true, politics was
undou ledly the cause of the shooting ; but
whether McKeel was accessory, we are un
able to express an opinion with the informa
tion at hand.

Washington, November 13,1875.
COMING in.
The tide has just began to set in, and this
burgh has began fill up. Cameron is
here with a host ennsylvanians at his
back, clamoring for place in the Interior
Department, which the average Radic i de
scendant of W. Penn believes to be the
legitimate plunder of that State. Watts,
the old agriculturist, has crammed his de
partment with proteges of the Keystone
State, and enabled several young men to
start into the seed and horticultural busi
ness. Morrill, of Vermont, is also raiding
on Zach, and Patterson, of South Carolina,
is forcing things to have one Thoman, an
emigrant from Dalmatia, placed in a soft
position. Thoman is very dark comlex
ioned, and passed himself off in South Caro
lina as a negro, after the war, and was
elected by the colored vote Secretary of
State. But they found out afterwards, from
his association with the Mennerchor, that
he was of German proclivities, and there
and then went back on him. He should be
taken care of. Jere Black, of Pennsylvania,
Senator Kelly, from Oregon, who cleaned
out Willlamg, and others, including a scat
tering of Radical members of Congress, are
in town.
A SERENADE.
Some hangers-on and offieo hunters and
holders, anxious to display their loyalty, got
up a serenade for Grant A Cos. after the elec
ti n news got in. The occupant of the
White House came forth after the music was
over and addressed the viebald crowd in his
asual laconic style, stating, howev.- •, that
the indications pointed to another four years
of power. Boss Shepherd also received
some music, and other lesser lights were
also given a dose. Since Chandler has been
going for the boys in his department and
taking scalps bv the wholesale, the other
departments have closed their lines, and
now a clerk thinks it worth his place to go
forth during office hours for a supply of
nouri.-hment. It is rumored that there have
been over seventy discharges in Zack’s
ranche, including the chief clerk of the De
partment and the chief clerks of the Patent
and Laud offices. The youths who did not
pony up for electioneering purposes are now
feeling tho wrath.
THE NEWSPAPER MEN
have been trying to shove one of their party
in under the great Michigander. The youth
is Arthur Shepherd, formerly connected
with the Republican, and they want to make
him Superintendent of the Patent Office.
Shaw, the Nestor of the press, Murtagh,
proprietor of the Republican, and a dele"-
gation of Bohemians, visited the war Sena
tor and urged Arty’s claims. But Zack, be
ing down on newspaper men, gave them a
cool reception, and told them that no va
cancy existed. He is savago against the
News for its lucubrations, arid to.please him
THE KEK-RONICLE,
The colicky organ of the left wing of the
administration, which is eking out a miser
able existence on government pap, pitched
into the News about it Washington corres
pondent, and intormev its readers that we
are an “impostor,” and “hold a position
under tho government, obtained by repre
senting ourself to have been a persecuted
and ostracised Southern Republican.’' This
is good for the Chronicle, and about as
truthful as the majority of its lies. Harlan,
the saint, is do longer connected with it, or
he would not have such hard things said; but
little Georgy Corkhill, who sold himself to
the Pacific Mail crowd for the small sum of
SI,OOO, is agitated to find out who is writing
up the history of the administration from
this point, and is hitting out wildly. He
has just got back from Europe, deposed W.
Penn Clarke, the etymologist, from the edi
torial chair, and stands ready to vindicate
Bill King or die in the attempt. Georgy
would rtake a nice partner for the great'
MC.,
who steers the Tallahassee Sentinel with
Isaac Walton, the ex-fisher of trifles, at the
engines. Me. can tack bettor than auy man
in the South, and Captain Steam’s ship of
State could not be managed without him.
A gentleman from North Carolina, a bosom
friend of the defunct railroad king 1
Littlefield, gave me Mc.’s pedigree. He
s <ys Me. was a rampant advocate of seces
sion, and went into the Confederate States
army as a Lieutenant, but finding that his
hide was in danger of being perforated,
jumped the issue and turned up* next as a
clerk in the Freedman’s Bureau under Pur
man, which place he lost from his love of
the bowl ana bad habits. He became a bit
ter partizan of bonny Governor Reed’s, but
betrayed him and joined his opponents.
He is a valuable accession to the Radical
ranks, and lives now only to avenge the
public cowhiding given him by Cocke in Tal
lahassee. He should be here with a ramb
ling youth from Live Oak, who sports the
name of
JACKSON,
ex-proprietor of the Shackson House in that
village. His motto was “Duff and Hash,”
but he fed Keep, of the Live Oak Times, so
high that the latter individual threw him
down stairs when he went to collect his bill.
This led him to drop Live Oak and open the
Planters’ House iu Tallahassee, where fried
liver and sturgeon made the tables groan,
and five cent whisky rejoiced the souls of
thirsty Radicals. But the flames consumed
his hostelry, and now he faces the world as
au insurance agent, and takes risks on’eve
rything but Florida hotels.
BEEK.
The convention of lager manufacturers
assailed the Commissioner of Internal Re
venue yesterday, and the great Pratt
trembled before the indignant representa
tives of long drink. They don’t want to be
assessed for malt used in excess of two aud
a half bushels to one barrel of beer, and
swore by the memory of Gambrinus to
stand up for their rights. No matter how
the Teutons may stand on the financial is
sues, when the cry of beer is raised they
stand shoulder to shoulder to resist any
assault upon it.
LOOK OCT.
Don Pedro, of Brazil, is being anxiously
looked for here. He is bringing two hun
dred thousand dollars worth of diamonds
with him, and as the treasury robbers aud
safe burglars will be turned loose before his
arrival we will see the officials here sporting
brilliants in profusion very soon, unless he
fortifies like Jones, of Nevada, and keeps a
guard on duty at his door.
PASSED AWAY.
The colored cadet at the Naval Academy,
Master Baker, of Mississippi, has been dis
missed by request of the Superintendent.
The boys could not overlook the color line,
and the embryo Farraguts, Perrys’ and
Porters “hoo-doo’d” and “hazed” him until
old Admiral Rodgers got tired and ran him
out. All the old naval officers are opposed
to the enlistment of colored aeamep, and
like the army, do not intend to admit a col
ored officer in their circle if they can avoid
it. Thus the colored cadets at the Military
Academy have failed, and their chances for
turning out an officer of ebon hue from
either academy are daily growing less.
ODDS AND ENDS.
The serious illness of Vice-President Wil
son led to a good deal of discussion as to
who would occupy tne vice chair in the Sen--
ate this gegsion. Matt Carpenter would
have been first choice if he was in the Sen
ate, but he has gone from our gaze. Ferry,
of Michigan, acted during Wilson’s absence
in the called session, being elected by the
Senate, but Hamlin and Cameron feel dis
posed to urge their claims. Hamlin is the
oldest Senator and was Vice-President under
Lincoln, so that his chances would be the
best.
Ex-Senator Fenton is swinging around
here, trying to work himself into the good
graces of the administration again.
The friends of Thurman are talking him
up again as an available Presidential candi
date. They say he can make a better fight
than Hendricks.
Grant’s friend, Routt, Governor of Colo
rado, is here talking of his Senatorial pros
pects.
The claim agents are excited upon a point
lately sprung. They say that the act of 1864
providing for the payment of Southern
claims specifies that the Auditor shall pay
the claims upon their being duly certified
by the Quartermaster General. Ingalls has
only been acting, and Meigs, who hag been
shipped off on a fool’s errand to Europe to
get him out of the way, should sign the pa
pers. The claim agents fear that the Au
ditor may refuse the payment of claims on
this ground, hut, as he has no appropriation
yet, they had better wait awhile before get
ting excited.
The Florida Railroad case is still under
digestion by the Supreme Court, and. Mr.
Holland is awaiting anxiously but confident
ly for their decision. He thinks that road
is his and he proposes to have it.
Mr. Rice, of Pensacola, has been here for
several days, but has returned home again
with the intention of returning during the
session of Congress.
J. C. Kimball, of Atlanta, is at the Metro?
politan Hotel, and W. U. Garrard and Mr.
Falligant, of Savannah, are in the city.
The American Public Health Association,
consisting principally of army medical offi
cers and Marine Hospital attaches, have
been holding a convention in Baltimore,
and are about to attack Congress for legis
lation to bring about co-operation between
the general government and State govern
ments for a uniform and efficient system for
the registration of births, deaths and mar
riages. Of course a bureau on the Bureau
of Statistics principle will then be needed,
and some of these boys anticipate a good
berth.
Old Pratt, in his annual report on Internal
Revenue, states that there are eighty mil
lion chewers, smokers and snnffers in the
United States (how is that ?) who consume
fifteen pounds of tobacco each per annum.
Pratt mast have g 1 Ten his census report
away, or sold it to some second-hand book
store.
The talk of Orville Grant aDd Babcock
being connected with the whiskv ring has
not been hushed up yet. Avery, "late chief
clerk of the Treasury, has been hanging
around here, but has been called to St. Louis
to answer the indictment against him.
Billy McGarrahan, the man who claims the
New Idria mines, is preparing to go for Con
gress again, and Sutro is expected here to
open up his tunnel claim again. A Colonel
Craig, who claims 70,000 acres of land in
Colorado,which there is some trouble about,
is here also. The Land office make some
quibble about his title, and unless he
■"comes down” handsomely, he may have
trouble about it. The wheels of govern
ment must be greased.
Walt Whitman, the good grey poet, is on
the streets here in his big slouch hat and

[Special Correspondence of the Morning News.
Febnandina, November 12, 1875.
In consequence of the non-appearance
of a number of the defendant’s witnesses
this morning, for the very cogent reason
that the prosecution had purposely neg
lected to summon them in time, counsel
for Harney liichard asked for a post
ponement until the 15th instant.
THE RENOWNED FLUNKEY
who happens to be dignified with the
misnomer of judge, commonly called
Archibald, condescended to patronize the
defence, and announced his willigness to
continue the case over until the spring
term of the Circuit Court. No objection
being raised by either party, such was
made the order. Now please be careful
not to allow Archibald any credit for
magnanimity or a desire to mete out
justice to the accused until you have
comprehended his motive for this unex
pected stroke of policy. The Judge, by
some means or other, hath suddenly dis
covered that he cannot constitutionally
extend one term of court into another, as
such a proceeding would invalidate all
transactions before the protracted term.
The time prescribed by law for bolding
court in Nassau county expires on the
13th inst., and although these fellows
have never allowed their gyrations to be
circumscribed by any such a dead-letter as
the Constitution, they have in this instance
seen fit to deviate from their general plan
of disregarding the existence of that docu
ment. lam fully cognizant of the fact
that they had succeeded in getting a jury
of the kind to suit their nefarious pur
poses, and only the apprehension that
some avenue of escape might be left open
for Richard induced them to order a
continuance. The accused has entered
into a recognizance in the sum of twenty
five thousand dollars, and has furnished
some of the staunchest men the State can
boast of as sureties. They are extremely
anxious to gain time also, and Archibald
has lately been uttering the most puny
lamentations to the friends of the ac
cused, and reiterating his intention of
playing an even-handed role.
• THE EXCORIATION
administered editorially by the Morning
News seems to have cut him to the quick,
and has certainly deepened the convict
kind of a look he has always worn. Mc-
Donnell is endeavoring to sneak away
from the odium which has enveloped
him, by asserting that if he had a hun
dred thousand dollars he would cheer
fully relinquish it if this thing had never
happened. It is to be regretted that he
has not that trifling sum, but as it is, he
may evince his sincerity by refunding to
Harney Richard a portion of the ex
pense which his friends and himself have
been compelled to undergo. Other
wise we must perforce consider the
grandiloquent wail of “Uncle Tad,” noth
ing more nor less than a stupendous con
centration of the veriest balderdash. J.
P. C. Emmons, associate counsel for the
prosecutors, remarked within the hearing
of your correspondent that if it were not
for the fact that he was a religious man
he would become seriously exasperated at
the truths contained in the Morning
News. This is particularly severe on reli
gion, and may indicate the early downfall
of that institution, if Emmons’ compan
ions conclude to follow suit.
THE CELBBBATED NINCOMPOOP,
sometimes called Judge of the Fourth
Judicial Circuit, has been making the
most heartrending overtures to the friends
of Richard for a compromise, and claims
that the thing has gone far enough. None
of the Radical crew like your correspon
dent, and if they are able to detect the
inhuman barbarian who disclosed their
secrets dire will be the aforesaid barba
rian’s fate. The negroes do not appear
to relish the continuance in the least,
and evidently are itching for a demon
stration of their revolutionary feelings.
The opportunity for them to make asses
of themselves in conjunction with Mc-
Donnoll, Archibald and Emmons was too
enticing to be lost.
“banquo’s” ghost
is in possession of a magnificent drama,
comedy or farce, or whatever you please
to call it. The dram. pers. are Archi
bald, Emmons and “Uncle Tad.”
The scene was this city, the time
one day last week. Some of the
“jedge’s” enemies are so uncharitable as
to insinuate that his Honor was drunk,
but I brand this slander as false in toto,
and conscientiously asseverate that the
distinguished individual was—if the
drama has any basis of fact whatever—
merely suffering from indigestion, and
the tremendous tension which his ner
vous system has recently sustained in
grappling with the intricacies of the plot
to extinguish an innocent man and se
questrate a couple of thousand dollars.
Not to create undue suspense, and to
avoid provoking equivocation, the comedy
runs that at the hour of midnight, at
some period during this month, the
learned Judge was heard yelling in a
semi-somnambulistic state:
“SCPPBESS IT AT ONCE.”
The following colloquy is reported to
have ensued : •
Archibald— (holding a copy of the
Morning News) —This must be stopped.
Let me command the Sheriff to forthwith
suppress this merciless newspaper.
Emmons —Nay, nay, most honored and
revered Seigneur, Savannah is without
your jurisdiction.
Archibald —(frantically)—Talk not to
me of circuit or jurisdiction. Did not I
dispatch Joe Valentine into Alachua, and
did not my master, the illimitably gra
cious Stearns, approve my action?
Therefore my behest —the Savannah
Morning News must be arrested, and by
noon to-morrow we shall have quashed
that imperious sheet. Ho! Mr. Sheriff !
McDonnell (in tears)--Great, glorious
potentate. I make bold to say that Savan
nah is not even in this State; ah! boo
hoo! boo-hoo!
Archibald— Aye ! aye ! ’Tis e’en so;
what then shall be our project? We have
been marplots, sycophantic slaves, fiend
ish rascals, and shall we not be revenged
for being told of it to our teeth? The
State line shall be extended, or by the
mighty Steams . Here the trio are
said to have closed their eyes.
So you will infer it is by no meaDS im
probable that the Forest City will be in
demand as soon after our next Legisla
ture convenes as possible, if not sooner.
Banquo.
A Canal Ring Victory. —The New
York Canal Board have reinstated En
gineers Yates and Babcock, who were
suspended some time since for alleged
complicity m the canal frauds. This re
sult is significant, as being the first vic
tory of the canal ring since the election,
and it is thought presages an ample
amount of vigorous fighting close at
hand.
We are sorry to see a popular error re
garding heaven adopted by Mr. Moody in
one of his recent discourses. It is that
of interpreting the imagery of the visions
described in the Book of Revelations as
literal pictures of the abode of the bless
ed. The fact is that what St. John saw
was not a permanent state of things, but
a special array of smybols, relating as
much to this world as to the other. For
example, the New Jerusalem, with its
streets of gold, gates of pearl, and foun -
dations of precious stones, is expressly
declared to have been seen descending
out of heaven upon earth. In like man
ner, the great white throne, with its sea
of glass in front and its attendant angels
standing rouud about, is, we are told, a
prophecy of things to be hereafter.
There is nowhere in the Bible any de
scription of heaven as such, and wise
men abstain from dogmatizing concern
ing it.—JVefc York Sun.
A little five year-older, who was always
allowed to choose the prettiest kitten for
his pet and playmate before the other
nurslings were drowned, was taken to his
mother s sick room the other morning to
see two tiny new babies. He looked
reflectively from one to the other for a
minute or two, then poking his chubby
finger into the cheek of the plumpest
baby, he said, decidedly, “Save this
one.”
NITUOGLYCER INF. TN HIS POCKET. A
man named Knight, in charge of a g°ng
of laborers at South Natick, Mass.,
slipped a charge of nitro-giycerine into
his pocket, which subsequently exploded
as he was entering a wagon with a man
named Ryan. Both men were blown to
a great distance. Ryan’s injuries are
fatal.
Mrs. Forrest states that “a mutual
friend busied himself ostensibly in trying
to effect a better relation between herself
and Forrest, but really in widening the
breach.’ Could this mutual friend have
been Forney?
Sheep are now selling in Fresno coun
ty, Cal., at 75 cents each.
Don’t Beg the Question. —It is an in
fallible sign that a cause is weak when its
claims are sought to be established by
mere bold assertion without argument or
substantial proof. Dr. Tutt asserts that
his Hair Dye is the best, and he adduces
undoubted evidence to substantiate the
truth of the assertion.
BEAD WHAT EXPERTS SAY.
New Obbeans, May 10, 1871.
Dk. Tutt — Dear Sir: We, the under
signed, wish to inform you that we have
tried your Hair Dye and find it to be the
best we have ever used. For its natural
black color, it far excels all other dyes.
Our customers will have no other. Since
we began its use, our business in the dye
ing department has rapidly increased.
We think it a great triumph.

SAVANNAH MARKET.
WEEKLY REPORT.
OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS,)
Savannah, November 16, 1875, j
General Remarks Trade the past week
has been very quiet, and but little has been done.
No disposition on the part of either local or in
terior buyers to operate beyond the actual require
ments of their business, and by this caution
which has been practiced throughout the season,
their stocks are generally in a healthy condition.
The only business done has been on orders from
the interior and the light demand by local retail
ers—there being no visiting merchants in the
city. Jobbers report that business the past sea
son has been somewhat smaller in volume than
last year, though it has been morejsatisfactory,
from the fact that interior merchants
have conducted their business with more care
than usual—have watched their purchases and
bought with such care that they are not now
hampered with old, unsaleable stocks. This has
enabled them to meet their engagements
promptly, thus creating a more healthy con
dition of trade throughout the country.
There have been no price changes of import
ance during the week, and the market is gene
rally quiet but firm.
Cotton.—The market the past week has ruled
quiet, with but slight change in quotations, the
only change being an advance of %c. on good
middling, middling and low middling. There
has been some irregularity during the week from
the firmness on the part of holders, notwith
standing the dullness in New York and Liver
pool. This has, to some extent, prevented op
erations, as buyers were unwilling to go on at
their prices. To-day, however, there has been a
better feeling in the market, and holders have
felt some encouragement, though the market was
too firm to admit of large transactions.
W e give below the daily transactions and tone
of the market for the week, which will give a
correct review for that time. The market to
night closed Arm. We quote:

Sea Island.—The market has been raiher
quiet during the week, with smaller sales than
the week previous, being only about 75 bales,
which were made at from 2S@34c.

neglected the past week, the total sales being
only 1,200 bales, as follows: Tuesday, 1,100 bales
for January at 13c; B'riday, 100 bales for Novem
ber at 13c.
The receipts of cotton at this port for the past
week, from all sources, have been 25,795 bales
upland and 113 bales sea island, against 30,1)40
bales upland and 180 bales sea island for the

follows : Per Central Railroad, 19,807 bales up
land; per Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, 4,457 bales
Upland; per Augusta steamers, 1,192 bales upland;
per Florida steamers, 41 bales upland and 113
bales sea island; from Fort Royal, 223 bales
upland; by carts, 75 bales.

472 bales upland,: to Charleston, 6 bales upland.
The stock on hand at the close of the market
yesterday was 78,662 bales upland and 475 bales
sea island, against 83,221 bales upland and 812
bales sea island for the corresponding date last
year.
Rice.—The market for this grain the past
week has been an active one, with large transac
tions in clean, the sales for the week being about
800 caskß, mostly at full prices. Transactions in
rough have been heavy. The receipts for the
week have been 40,000 bushels, ar.d the exports
for the same time have been 654 casks, as fol
lows: To New York, 599 casks; to Baltimore, 55
casks. We close with a firm market at for:

The foliowing is a resume of the week:
Wednesday, November 10.-Market illy supplied
to-day, and factors have maintained a firm front
in defiance of worse advices from Liverpool, and
we close with some demand for the better
grades, while the lower are neglected. The
market closed steady, with sales of about 1,200
bales. We quote:

Thursday, November 11.—The market was firm,
and selections were light and undesirable, and
where buyers necessities required it, they had to
pay full quotations. At the second call quota
tions were advanced %c. on all grades, which
was sustained to the close. Liverpool closed
firm, with sales of 14,000 bales, and middling up

pay full prices for all they took. Liverpool
closed quiet and unchanged, with sales of 10,000
bales; and New York quiet and easy at yester
day’s prices. In futures, 100 bales were sold for
