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- ters, the parties being principally cross rood grocers, and evidently with no se rious designs to do a business in circu it! mg counterfeit money. Some seventy are under arrest in East Tennessee, and there were sixty more warrants oat in "\\’e.»tern North Carolina. The whole WiTirs a very unimportant aspect. Kksi m.tiox of Sibcik Fatmexts.— The Chicago Board of Trade ia now elaborating a plan for paying specie in paper. That is the earnest way to do it- Let vrn all pay up in good notes, due ninety-nine years a and lie happy. ml a dav after date Mis* koknatios.—One Nicholas Kiger, a n.*i-r.\ living in Clarke coantf. Indiana, ».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 mals generally wag. And their ears, when long enough, generally flop. Notably those of the donkey family. If there is a look ing-glass in Albany strong enough to stand the strain, you can see for yourself. Mas. N. L. Redd, of Columbus, has written a novel called the “Innocent Criminal," which is highly spoken of. She has gone to New York to superin tend its publication. The Griffin News learns from a gentle man just from Henry Superior Court that in the cose of Frank Mickeljohn vs. the Macon and Western Railroad, tried on Wednesday, a verdict of $500 was re turned for the plaintiff. He sued for $100,000, and we are told was offered ten thousand os a compromise some time sfaoe. Tue Dawson Journal says June Daniel, tho old Democratic negro of Terrell county, was the only man, white or block, who paid his tax when the collector made his first round in that county. It took ten darkies, ten dogs and the local of the Talbot ton Standard, all last Friday night, to capture four 'possums. The local's port of the campaign was giv ing directions how to cut the trees down. Tue Americus Republican, of Thurs day, says: Fire in Webster County.—On last Monday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, tho residence of 'Captain A. C. Bell, on his plantation in Webster county, totally destroyed by fire, together with most of the furniture and a lot of jewelry belonging to Mr. Murk Bell, who occupied tl.e house at the time of the disaster. The file is supposed to have originated in the stove room. Lo*s $6,OOU. Insured in the Hannibal (Mo.) Insurance Company for $3,(JtAh Augusta is to have a steam luun Irv, to 3ommunce work nert week. Marhadujtb Slade, a can vomer for the Singer Sewing Machine Company, at tempted to commit suicide at Augusta last week by swallowing two ounces of laudanum. It was thought lie would re cover, as two darkeys were hard at wo.k walking him up and down all the after noon. We quote the following from the Sa vounah News: 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.

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.

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 it for Columbus. 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 best place in the street brigade, and a free sight at all the outside Fair attrac- Among the speaker*at th** jpand Dem ocratic Jubilation in Cincinnati, the other night, was the Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton, our *e.-oa 1 choice for President of these United States, so-called. Some of his words put us into such a camp-meeting frame of mind that we feel constrained to publish th»*m. He said: We rejoice to-night, my Mlow-citizens. because we believe tiuti the people of Ohio have done a patriotic duty, and have done it so wisely an l -o well that its results will inure to the benefit of the whole country.

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 ui to serve th* people, and our greatest efforts to do them good. [Cheers.] Let as nhow to tiu* Republican-; wim are <i. satisfied with their party that they ha 1 e a safe refuge in our party. i_Great cheering.J Let us show to the “People’s” party that we are the true party of re form, and if they want to establisn purity 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. [Cheers.] 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. President Johnson, os we ail ki^c iYo7~pi.bU.hed * Ttomloo».

Chicago, October —Tne Finance Board of Trade reports for the resump tion of specie payments and the redemp tion of greenbacks in gold after the first Monday in July. 1877. The redeemed notes are to be available for all pay ments by the United States, other than those where specie is specially secured by existing laws.

Mr. Wendell said that some of the money went to quarters which would have been among the last to be suspected; whereas certain Senators against whom suspicion was most rife never touched a dollar of the money. Mr. Wendell also said that they had several more votes secured to be gi^en in favor of acquittal in case they should be required to ac- im * complish that result; but if not needed to acquit, then to be cast for conviction. One of the most curious things about the whole transaction was the manner in which the money was paid over after the quittal had taken place.

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 Meeting of Bishops. New York, October 2-4.—A special Wyoming and New Mexico, was held this morning at Grace church. The meeting was opened by a litany service, after which Rti Rev. K. H.
