letter to Mr. James Van Horn, of thi.. filling his place on the Enquirer, the local
JDehUfiijitJoji of Specie Pay
nieikth.
Specie pajn.ent may be defined to I
the “ability to pay in specie all necessary
dtiiaukLi, without producing ouch
nuagetncut of the currency as shall con
vuW ana disorganize the ptoductive in
dastriw of the country,** But bowooald
such B calamity be avoided at present.
With the demand for specie which would
in«tanUy arise from abroad ? The foreign
indebtedness of this country is put down
at ttcu thousand millions of dollars. Judg-
in/ by past experience much the huger
pertion of this amount would be
tor forthwith in hard currency, as Amer
lean paper aa not available in the ordina
ry transactions of business in Europe,
and must be converted into sterling
bullion at considerable expense to the
holder. Having a feeling recollection,
ltowever, of our inflated currency and its
depreciated value, the foreign debtor will
undoubtedly embrace the earliest oppor
tunity tu exchange every dollar of the
Mune into gold and silver coin. With
seven hundred millions of greenback;
only, in existence, and less than one hun
dred millions of coin, how in the name of
common sense can this be done at this
juncture t The attempt would sweep all
Hie money out of the country like a whirl-
Bind, and cause such a shrinkage
property and values of every description,
*a to restilt in almost universal bank
tuptey.
Wretched indeed, too, would be the
condition of the debt-laden and overtaxed
booth in such a contingency. It her peo
ple groan under the present scarcity of
money, anti their inability to escape from
the vassalage of the creditor, bow would
matters stand when tho contra- tion of
iwm to ons in tho value of a paper dollar,
its comp.ired to the amount of spocio in
circulation, takes place t For is it not
**elf-evident that to make one hundred
millions redeem seven hundryd millions,
the latter must shrink to tho value of the
former in all actual financial transac
tions F This would be tantamount to in-
creasing every man's debt term fold. I
Let us hear no more, then, of specie
resumption at the present critical period
of the country. We need every dollar in
circulation, and more besides, to relieve
the pressure which sits like a nightmare
ti|»on the price of cotton, and every de
partment of trade. The scarcity of
money is already tho banc, at least, of
this portion of tho Union.
Jersey vs. New York.
The World of Monday prints a map
contra-.ting the New York and Jersey
shores of the Hudson, and sounds a loud
alarm. Jersey has a better water front
age than Nsw York and it connects im-
mediately with a prodigious system of
inland transportation by canal and pul-
way. All the great trunk lines with the
West, one only exciqitcd, terminate on
the Jersey shore of tho Hudson, and so
do the foreign steamship linos. The con
tiguous cities of New Jersey which it is
proposed to inclnde in one corporation
now embrace a population of half a mil
lion ami are incrcaaing with tremendous
stride*; while more than five hundred
railway trains each day afford cheap and
rapid intercommunication with tho rural
vicinity. In fact, the World makes out a
pretty substantial scare for Gotham. ,
Cotton Crop of 1873.
Tho World, of Monday, says:
Tho October report of the Agricultural
Bureau at Washington upou the condition
of the cotton crop is altogether an extra-
ordin try document, and provokes unfa
vorable comment. Tho report for Sep
tember was regarded os altogether too fa
vorable to tho cotton prospect. That is
sued at the same time by the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange was regarded as
much more accurate. The report just is
sued is dolotous to the last degree, when
all who ore familiar with tho subject
know that the position of tho cotton crop
has improved rather than diminished in
the past month. Wo ore willing to give
Mr. Dodge all credit for his efforts, but
lie lias at least been unfortunate in the
last two reports upon cotton.
The Bureau is making pretty good
guesses now. Tho expectants of a heavy
increase on the crop of last year will be
disappointed. There will probably be very
little or none at all. Tho New York
Chronicle, wo see, attaches a good deal
of importance to tho question of an early
or late frost, while, in truth; that point
carries less weight with it this year than
at any previous period wo remember.
A very large part of the crop, having
long been denuded of foliage and snb-
st uitially killed by the worms, will pro
duce nothing more if ftost be delayed
till January.
Yklloxv Fkver in Texas.—A Picnynn*
special of the 22d inst., says :
“Galveston is full of refugees from
Bryan. Calvert and Columbus, with more
coming by each train. Telegrams from
Col uubus report the fever increasing ;ast
and of a very fatal type, with four deaths
in twelve hours. Hun. George W. Smith
and J. W. Horeourt are among the vic
tims. The place is almost depopulated.
A special relief train was forwarded to
day with physicians from Galveston.
Calvert telegrams report nine deaths in
SI hours. The disease continues very
violent. Business is almost entirely sus
pended.*’
Fleeing from tho interior to the sea
board to escape yellow fever, is a specta
cle we think never witnessed on the
American continent before this year.
The East Tennessee Counterfeit-
er\.—The examinations so far held in
Knoxville indicate a little dealing to the
amount oft wo, five, ten to twenty dollars
each in counterfeit fifty cent shinplas-

rious designs to do a business in circu

there were sixty more warrants oat in

Mis* koknatios.—One Nicholas Kiger,

».i, •enrieteJ jf intermarrying with a
white woman, in mid county, before th.
criminal circuit court, and sentenced to
city, we luun that thu dreadful
yellow fever, has reached the beautiful
nd healthy little dly of liaiubridj. and
uried away live of it-f people in c
Mght. The -ackness of the town and
county is very great. We deeply st m-
{stthbe with liarabkulgf in this her hour
of deep distr. a-. We h.ipe that the coid
weather of this week and the heavy £r-*it
which visited it Mon »ay night will <1 :ir
away the prevailing sickness and render
the city again healthy and prosperous.
The list of fleatlis on Sunday night lost
are as follows: Jesse King, Hortw.li
Swarengun, Mrs. Cloud, Mrs. Louis Khrl-
rich and Haywood Merritt. All of these
died in one night, in a city of less t!um
2J00 inhabitants. For several week-*
past the people of that section uave been
suffering from climatic yellow fever, but
the letter says that the physician* of that
city pronounce the type of fever, of
which the above deceased died, the same
as that prevailing at Shreveport and.
Memphis, or, in dther wonls, the genuim-
yellow fever. We hope that the physi
cians may be mistaken.
Also the following:
We now know why it is that Reese of
the Teleurafk and Mcssexocb is such
an inoorrigible and persistent wag of a
wit. He is the tail of the T>:le<iuaph and
Messxj*oxk ComjuLny, and the tail jf ani

And their ears, when long enough,

stand the strain, you can see for yourself.

Thr Wat to Kill IIowe Industrie*.
In agent of u printing establishment in
Detroit, Michigan, was prancing oroonu
the city yesterday soliciting job *ork,
such a* letter heads, cards, bill heads,
circular*, etc., from our mercantile com
munity. During the course of his per
ambulations he was oW-rved by some
keen-eyed personage, who looked not vita
favor upon his man uuvres, and his can
vassing was temporarily intemiptxl in
consequence, an invitation having been
extended him to step up the Exchange
and takeout the requisite license. Tuerc
was no help for it, and the festive agent
pranced into the clerk's office and planke.*
down $25, the amount required for the
privilege of taking probably $1,500 or $2,-
000 worth of work from this city. After se
curing this valuable paper the indefatiga
ble Western gent resumed his canvassing
tour with renewed energy, and succeeded
in inducing some of our worthy and highly
patriotic citixens to favor him with their
orders. Wa learn that the aforesaid
foreign agent expressed himself as highly
delighted at the result of his first day's
raid upon tho Savannah public. In facf,
his success has been greater tlion he had
anticipated. Now this being the case, is
it any matter of special wonder tliat there
should be complaints of hard time*,scarcity
of money, etc., among our industrious
classes ? When our merchant* deliber
ately give their work to foreign firms,
(which coo’d be equally as well done
here, and which should be done here,)
thus taking from our industrious artisans
the patronage that rightfully belongs to
them, it should not be surprising that
we see ono of our best enterprises lan
guishing. Now tnere is one remedy
which those whose claims are slighted
hare in the matter, and that is to ascer
tain who these merchants are that pat
ronize a Northern house in preference to
one in their own city that certainly has
more claims upon them, and resolutely
refuse to deal with them and influence
their friends to do likewise. What is
••sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander,’* and the merchants who help to
till the coffers of those who have no in
terest in common with us, should look to
them for favors and patronage, and not
to those whom they have slighted.

* Death of a Well Known Editor
and Author.—Major Stephen F. Miller
died of consumption, at hi* home in this
city, last afternoon, at the age of some
sixty-five years. He was a North Caro
linian by birth: and was educated for the
bar. He watc at one time assistant editor
of the New Orleans Delta, not long since j

The Enquirer has those itruu:
The Macon Fair.—This long talked
of Fair commences next Mon.lay ami con
tinues during the week. .It will proba
bly be the biggest thing in the way of a
Fair that has yet occurred in Georgia.
Macon has done wonders to work .it up,
and such a thing as even a partial failure
is not dreamed of. The - psomiuu. list is
veiy extensive and liberal; the pro
gramme for the several days ha* been so
arranged as to interest and please almost
all classes of people, and in short nothing
has been left umioiiu to make the Fair a
success. Immense crowds will attend
despite of the panic. We bear of many
who are going from Coiambus, sinoe it
has been known they can go and return
for one fare ($4).
Sum Prospects fob Cotton.—During
oar late trip over the Eutaula and Mont
gomery, and Mobile and Girard Railroads,
we are confident we did not see in the
several fields ^passed, os much a* ten
of open and unpicked cotton. T
xic ul- arc all & tripped of leave.*, and t
tolls are all apparently open. Where
our part of a b.g cotton crop is to come
from we cannot see. The fields off from
the roods may, perhaps, promise better,
but we are disposed to doubt it. We will
put down 50,000 boles a* the extreme lim

How to Do It.—A friend, with little
money, has i*eeu worrying his brain as to
how he can get to tue Macon fair anu
stay a week with little or no ttwt. The
railroad fare, he fears, he will not be able
to dodge. But when he gets there hl>
programme is cut and dried as follows
Go without dinner, and in the evening
get drunk and get into the guard-house,
where he will obtain lodging and coarse
fare. The ilayor, of course, will be too
busy and in too good humor to try him,
ami each morning he will be turned out
scot-free.
Come along. We'll guarantee you the

DAY I>ISPATCHKS.
Cobb County at the State Fair.—
Under this head the Marietta Journal
Cobb county is in for it. Twenty can
loaded with stock, grain, fine arts, manu
factures, and her products generally, left
Marietta last Wednesday morning for
the State Fair, to compete for the $luuu
premium, offered to tiie county making
the finest display, in point of variety -ana
merit. The general superintendent, M.
G. Whitlock, and his energetic oo-labor
ers, at the head of the departments, have
been unremitting in their efforts, work
ing day and nignt, and liavo spent tueir
money freely, in enter that Cobb might
nave a proper and creditable display at
this annu l State Fair. We do not fear
the result. Toe dUylay Cobb county
will make will be magnificent in eveiy
particular. Our citixens throughout the
county have done manfully. All the de
partment* will be handsomely represent
ed, except Floriculture, which is omitted
owing to the Lateness of the season, os Jack
Frost is now upon us, and our rarest and
cnoicest plants and dowers have to bo
housed for tho winter, to ke**p them from
being killed. Some of the tropical plants
such os Oranges, Lemons. Li aes, Citron,
Banannas, Ac., are among the number
which our citixens have devoted a good
of time and spent money in cnltivating.
In the Fine Art Department, Frof. J.
S. Nichols ho* two hundred and sixty
specimens that for beauty, taste, elegance
and excellence cannot be surpassed.—
Home manufactures and industries are
lull—cassimeres, jeans, shirting, imple
ments. wagons, buggies, harness, Ac., are
very aa*. The stock is remarkably tine.
Jver sixty horses, mares, colts and stal-
uons, are aloug. Then there are Berk
shire and Yorkshire hogs. Seveial of
these hogs will weigh from 500 to 900
l»omil*. Fine blooded bulls, cows and
calves, sheep, turkeys, guineas, ducks,
geese, chicketis, are of fine growth and
good breed. There ore hundreds of spec
imen* of jellies, preserves, pickets, wines,
breads, cakes, vegetables, bed quilts,
counterpanes, embroidiery, needle work,
etc., and a quantity of other things too
numerous to weution. Altogether Cobb
will have two thousand articles on exhi
bition. There are one hundred and
twenty specimen* of Cobb county timber.
Besides tue train of cars full, much stock
and article* will start to-day by land.
The dwelling bouse of Mrs. Harlow,
near Marietta, was burned last Tuesday
with all it* contents—except the folks, of
course. There was $1,200 insurance on
it which, the Journal rather queerly says,
“places her in very comfortable circum
stances"—just as if the fire was an in
vestment on which she had realized a
profit.
The Red River Raft*
The Caurier-Joornai says the fact that
the removal of the great raft of the Rod
river, extending from a point fifty miles
above Shreveport to the Arkansas State
line, has been named as one of the causes
of malaria at that town this season, gives
much interest to this great work of our
civil engineers. The raft over sixty years
ago extended along Bed River for one
hundred miles and formed a serious ob
struction to navigation. Logs, stumps,
root* and snags of all kinds were caught
in the entanglement, which became more
solid every year with accumulated mate
rials. A deposit of mud gathered on this
enormous floating island, whoso breadth
in many place.* covered the river from
shore to shore, until sufficient soil was
accumulated to afford support for willows
and cottonwoods a foot in diameter. The
cavigation possible was through the
channels around the raft, but these
were available only during high water.
The Government engineers for many
cars worked at the raft with snag-boats,
•lasting-powder and saws. In 1854 the
raft was reduced to twelve miles, but
from that time the obstruction increased,
owing to the interruption of the work
upon it. Lieutenant Woodruff’s plan
was adopted last year by the Govern
ment, and that officer went to work with
great success, having about finished his
work when he fell a victim to yellow
fever. It has been suggested that the
release of a vast quantity of decayed
vegetable matter from its imprisonment,
and its sudden exposure to the sun, con
tributed largely to the plague which has
devastated Shreveport. The benefit
which navigation will derive from the re-
f Redriv
said they have confidence in ami will
truit the destiny of the State to the party
which we believe i* sound in principle
and whose crowning glory it has always
been to inaintun purity in legislation
and honesty in administration. [Great
applause.] * Above all, my friends, we re
joice tliat this triumph has been secured
to us in the person of an able, eminent,
honest and distinguished statesman,
whose sagacity, judgment and patriotism
will be exerted to enable us to use power
jo that, while serving the country,
will insure and extend the success of the
DMLoemtie party. [Comm.]
And whom shall we congratulate ? To
whom shall we give thanks? Gentle
men, we con give thanks to and congrat
ulate the young inen of tho State who
hava for the first time cost their votes,
and who, in spite of abuse, in spite of de
traction and enmity, have followed their
own noble instinct* and impulses, and
have allied themselves to a party which,
m all its history, in all its acts, in all the
power it ha* exercised, has been true to
itself, to liberty, to the country, and to
the county.
And, gentlemen, there is anot er class
of men whom we may thank and congrat
ulate. I speak -f the old line Demo
crat*. [Applause and cries of “Here we
are.”] I speak of the men who, amid
the disastrous defeats of the past, have
alway* kept the faith as it was handed
down to us by our fathers. I speak of
the men who in twenty years of disaster
have never lost confidence, have never
lost courage in hope, but kept their arms
burnished and their spears brigut. [Loud
applause.] I speak of men who ore sat
isfied always to do tueir duty os patriots
and leave the rest to the people and to
God. [Cheers.]
Let us suow all the world, show it so
plainly that even the blind shall see and
the deaf hear, that the Democratic party
lias been petrified in the fires of political
misfortune. [Cries of “that** so.' J That
in the discipline of the hut fifteen years
it has gained strength, nerve, purity.
honesty. [Cheers.] And tliat now,
more tuan ever, it ha* an aspiration fora
loftier, honester, and a more exalted
patriotism. Let us show by the wisdom
of our legislation, by the purity of our ad
ministration, that our highest ambition

party that we are the true party of re

and honesty the way to do it is to return
to their old seats within the Democratic
home. [Loud applause.] If we do this,
if we show that tiie Democratic party is
neither dead nor useless, but imbued with
hope, strength, activity, courage, and
patriotism, we will gatucr them all in.

THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
How Andy Jolinson was Acquitted.
The New York Sun is editorially respon
sible for the following:
The presence of Andrew Johnson in
Washington recalls to mind the memora
ble impeachment trial in which he was
defcii'laut toward tin* clo «* his t- rm
office os President of the United States.
I'nc Lit.- i'oru.-Iius WVu.L II. who was fa
miliar with the incidents of fiat trial, and
an actor in some of the moot important
of them, used to say that Air. Johnson’s
acquittal was attributable, not as many
supposed, to the ability and eloquence oi
the distinguished counsel employed by
him, but to the use of money. We never
understood that Mr. Johnson himself fur
nished any part of the sum paid; although
tho parties who advanced it unquestiona
bly counted upou pexsonal advantages to
themselves to result from his apprecia
tion and gratitude after the trial should
be over.
Mr. Wendell’s story was os follows:
The idea of saving Mr. Johnson had been
almost wholly relinquished by his friends;
his conviction seemed a foregone conclu
sion, and was ulmo.it *mivcr.-uily spoken
of as certain, when, one Sunday, while
Mr. Wendell was sitting in one of the
public rooms at Brown's Hotel—since
changed to tho Metropolitan—he was ac
costed by an acquaintance, who asked:
“ Wendell, do you want to bet a hundred
thousand dollars that Johnson will be
convicted ? Because, if you do, I will
take the bet.”
Air. Wendell said he at once compre
hended what the proposition meant, and
after a little further conversation request
ed a little time in which to make up liis
mind, and appointed a later hour in the
same day for another meeting with tho
party who had made it.
“I flew round,” continued Air. Wendell,
‘and after seeing several persons, found
that I could raise sixty thousand dollars ;
so when this man came back again, I said
to him, I will bet yon sixty thousand dol
lars.”
I don’t want to bet sixty thousand
dollars,” was the instantaneous reply, “I
offered to bet you one hundred thousand
dollars; if yon do not wish to take that
we will let the matter drop. I will bet
that or nothing—no smaller sum.”
Wendell now perjured that the man
was unquestionably in earnest, and that
if he took the bet the result would be one
of two thing*: Johnson would be acquit
ted or he would win a hundred thou*and
dollars. He requested further time,
hich was accorded, with the understand
ing, however, that at the nert interview
the money was to be up or the negotia
tion was to be at an end.
Air. Wendell knew where and to whom
to go to raise money for such a purpose :
no man in the country knew better; and
although such a sudden demand for so
large a sum taxed his energies severely,
he succeeded in getting the amount to
gether within the time limited. Tne
terms of the bet were fully complied with
and the money was put up.

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
The Supreme Court.
Washington, October, 24. The busi
ness before the United States Supreme
Court may be briefly btated as follows :
About t.velve ca*es, of more or less
importance, which were argued at the
last term of the Court, were held over for
decision at the present term. Among
them are two cases from Utah, one of
which presents the same question as was
decided in the case of Clinton et al. vs.
Englebrecht et al., some two years since,
whether it is the duty of the United
States Attorney, for the Territory, to
prosecute, in the several counties, all per
sons accused of offenses, as well against i
the laws of the United States, as against
the laws of the Territory. The court be
low sustained the District Attorney upon
the ground that the courts established in
the Territory were courts of the United
States. I*, the case is to be dec ded upon
the authority of the case cited above,
this decision must be overruled, for it
was therein held, the late Chief-Justice
delivering the opinion, that these courts
were Territorial courts and not courts of
the United States. The other Utah case
presents the question of the jurisdiction
of probate court* of the Territoiy, under
the act of Congress organizing the Ter-
ritoriaTgovernment.
Another important case, held over,
comes from the Supreme Court of lows,
and present* the question whether the
various State laws, and particularly those
of Iowa, forbidding the manufacture and
sale of alcoholic liquors are not in conflict
with the provisions of the fourteenth
amendment. It is contended that inas
much as such liquors are recognized as
property, by the Federal laws, no State
cau deprive its citizens of the rig t to
hold and deal in it, in the manner sought,
and that the party whose property has
been seized and destroyed under the Law,
is entitled to redress, by virtue of the
amendment cited, and to immunity in
future.
A case involving the constitutionality
of the Enforcement act from South Car
olina, also argued last w|nti-r by Reverdy i .. - ., u- *»- , ,* .,
JohMor, against tho co^titutiona’ity of meetm S °f g* of Buho P"- far th f
tho aot, -as also on the docket for decis- of finm^the vacancy oc^sjoned
ion; but the pardod of tho party by the *- if. Randall,
President on account of eitemuting c;r- | ® 11,1011 of Co ora ‘ 0,
cuinstances in the case, has necessarily
concluded the case by abatement. Mr.
Johnson was quite anxious that the case
should be decided last term and wa*
hopeful of a decision sustaining his posi
tion, relying somewhat on the sanction
by the then Chief Justice.
A number of cases were also ordered
for reargument, mostly tax and railroad
cases, resisting the actions of the revenue
department. The docket is very full,
and, under the new law allowing appeals
and writs of error from State courts
wherever a federal question is rriia jd on
trial, must continue to increase and per
haps even to the extent to require a rem
edy.
There was a full Cabinet to^lar. Win.
O. Goodloe was appointed p*-n.-ion agent
for Lexington, Ky.
MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
About Specie Resumption.
■Washington, October 24.—It will be
recollected that nearly two weeks ago the
President, during an interview of a semi
official character, said a return tj a specie
basis can never be effected except by a
hrinkage of values; that the shrinkage
ha* now taken place; tne currency has
appreciated to about par with silver, and
the wonder to him wa* that silver
not pouring out when this could take
place. His theory was, the country will
absorb two or three hundred million dol
lars of it. Since that time the Presi
dent, in consultation with the Secretary
the Treasury, has been considering
how such a result might be produced,
with a view of affording relief to the
country within legal limit. The director
‘ the mint ha* been acting inacconlacce
with the President’s policy, making
arrangements for coining gold and silver
an extent heretofore unprecedented,
as to be ready for a resumption of spe
cie payment, there being large quanti
ties of these in etuis awaiting coinage.
The first step in resumption has been
taken, it having been ascertained to-<lay
from the Secretory of the Treasurry that
the Government will pay out silver as
soon as it can bo profitably and conven
iently coined for that purpose. '-f t
