degrees. In Adirondack it has fallen to
55 degrees, and overcoats are in demand
at many of the lakes and other summe r
resorts. Thcro have been frosts in the
northern counties every month except
this, and fears are entertained that the
same result may ensue tc-night, which
would cause. incalculable damage to
crops of all kinds, especially corn, which
is already somewhat injured by the cold

The Chop Situation.—As to Texas, the
Chronicles Friday telegrams from Galves
ton report some complaints of rust and
shedding, caterpillars at rcy< ral points,
and generally too tnnch rain; but, on the
whole, the crop was doing well. Two now
bales bad been received at Galveston. At
Indiancl* there had been three hard rains
daring the week. Caterpillars wero
fought actively with poisons. At Corsi
cana tho weather was said to bo terribly
hot, and tbo crop developing promisingly.
At Dallas tho week wrs very dry and
hot. At Bronham thero was rain on four
days of tho week, and bolls were rotting.
Crop still in good condition.
As to Louieians, in New Orleans fonr
inches and twenty-one hundredths of
rain fell on two days. In Shreveport
cotton was making rapidly. Rain 2.58.
weather generally favorable.
From Miesisaippl the reports wero all
favorable. Little Rock, in Arkansas, al ■ o
tent a good report. Tennessee, so far
as reported, was all right.
In Alabama, caterpillars was reported
with no material damage. Selma says
tho crop accounts oro less favorable.
Goorgia, Columbus excepted, makes no
complaint. Columbus reports caterpil
lars without material injury so far. and
mat developing badly.
On tho whole, tho crop situation may
bo pronounced without material damage,
and uncommonly promising.
South Carolinian will permit the matter
to go beyond the attitude of a moral con
flict. If, disregarding the plain law and
reason of the case tbo United SiAtes make
a jU.n ministerial demand for the pris

sed (bat the State will resist it. Sncb re
sistance wonld of course be vain and un
availing. The Charleston News and Cour
ier well says:
The crime of which the prisoners are
accused is an offense against the State,
and not against the United State*. No
United States C:urt can try for murder,
committed in a State of the Union. The
. fleet of transferring such a case to the
United States Court i*, to allow that
Coart to decide, without trial, whether
there is a foundation for the charge. If
the Court decide in the affirmative, it
cannot try the case, and the prisoners
are left, at last, to be tried in the State
Courts, which, by that time, are not
likely U> be able to reach them. If the
Court decide in the negative, the prison
ers are summarily discharged. A doc
trine more monstrous was never preached.
Meanwhile, tho Northern Radical pa
pers are robbing their hands in undis-
gni*cd glee over tho prospect of "another

SOUin CAROLINA VS. THE
STATES:
Some weeks ago certain U. 8. Internal
revenue officers, in pursuit of one Red
mond, charged with illicit distillation;
forcibly assailed the house of one Amos
Ladd, of Fiokens oonnty, wherein they
supposed Redmond lay concealed. Ladd
standing on the threshold of bis honse,
warned them off, and snapped his gnn at
them, whereupon they fired upon and
killed him
Tho Grand Jary of the Saperior Court
for Pickens oonnty iudioted them for
murdor, and thereupon application was
made to Jndge Kershaw, of that conuty,
for a transfer of tbo case and papers to
tho U. 8. Circuit Court for tho State.
This application was refused, bnt the
Judge granted amotion to change the
venno to Greenville.
Meantime the Washington Cabinet
have had tho case under advisement
without coming to a decision, nntil lost
Friday, when, according to tho corres
pondent of tho Baltimore Nun, the fol
lowing action was had:
Washington, July 26.—A decision
was reached to-day in regard to tho South
Carolina revenue cases by tho President,
which will havo the effect of raising a
square issue between the Federal gov
ernment and tho State government of
South Carolina. Special Counsel Earle
arrived here to-day from South Carolina
to consult with Attorney General Devens
in regard to the case. After the Cabinet
meeting was concluded, General Devens
and Mr. Ilarle had a long conference
with Ihe I’resident, when tho case waa
thoroughly discussed in all its bearings.
It was decided to call Secretary Evarta
to tho conference, nnd to hear his view
as to the law and tho duty of tho general
government nnder the circumstances.
Secretary Erarts took the position that
tho Federal authorities must maintain
its sovereignty nnd its right to dispose
of tho coses before its own courts without
interference by tho State authorities, nnd
that tho government should proceed to
act at once under section 643 of the Re
vised Statutes, and to have tho cases
removed nnder said section to tho Circuit
Court of the United State*.
After further discussion and inter
change of opinions the President decided
to accept the view taken by Secretary
Eva: and not to let the rases go to the
Supreme Conrt of tho State on appeal.
The necessary instructions havo been
given to carry tho decision into effect.
Mr. Earle left hero to-night for Balti
more to see Judge Bond, who is tho Uni
ted States Circuit judgo of South Care-
linn, and to arrange with him to go to
South Carolina at onco and hold a spe
cial term of Conrt, so that the coses ean
be removed from tho Stato Court, and
the imprisoned rovenne officials released
. n blit.
Great interest ia manifested in IheBe
proceedings hers by federal cffioials, and
the belief is shared by many tbat Jndgo
Kershaw will not acquiesce in the step
abont to be taken, and that tho Stnte nffi.
dels will not surrender np the four reve
nue cffioials to tho United States Mar
shal iu response to the summons of the
Circuit Court. If this oonr.se is pursued
an open conflict and a resort to armed
force on tho part of the federal authori
ty wonld seem to be inevitable.
It is no seers t that both the President
snd Attorney General Devens have been
inclined for a day or two to allow Ibesu
oases to go to tho Snpreme Conrt of tho
State of South Carolina, on appeal, with
out resorting to the alternative agreed
npon to-day. Both of these officials have
wanted to avoid a conflict if possible, and
Attorney General Devens in 6peaking of
the.'ease said be saw no reason for bringing
abont an issue with the State govern
ment. He was disposed to take the con
servative oonrso of letting (he case be
disposed of by the South Carolina courts
in regular older, and thus avoid anv feel
ing between the federal and State officials.
The calling of Secretary Erarts into the
case, however, has led the President to
adopt the other conrse, and to risk an
lseue with the State anlborUier.
It became known ho a considerable
camber cf Republicans that the Presi
dent was inclined to l.t the State courts
settle these cases, and no little feeling
was produced in consequence, which
wonld have manifested itself if the Pres
ident had not adopted Secretary Erarts’
view of the matter. It was freely
charged by Republicans to-day that the
President and Attorney General Devens
were exhibiting cowardice in dealing with
Of Governor Hampton and the effect of
an issue with him upon the country at
large. Republican politicians are now
thoroughly satisfied with the line of ac
tion agreed upon, and say that if the
State authorities attempt to resist the
FI deral authorities in attempt'ng to carry,
into execution sei tion C43 that it wil
have an excellent • ff t. throughout the

Tho writer was one of the goodly mim
her present on Saturday at the grand
barbecue given at Kilpatrick’s Spring, in
honor of Colonel Janu s H. Blount, and
to testify the gratitude of tho people to
the Lord of tho harvest for the bountiful
crop prospect which gladdens tho heart
of the hnsbanaman.
Toe particulars of thia improvised
feast havo already been given to onr
readers by "ye local.” Wo can only Bay
that it was a joyfcl reunion of farmers,
lawyers, doctors, nnd tho representatives
of every guild, who wero alike delighted
to meet and exchange congratulations
with each other upon the cheerful aspect
of affairs both at home and abroad.
It was our Aral exonrsion into Jones
oonnty, nnd we weio wholly unprepared
for tha boaulifsl Eoenety and lovely
landscapes which continually rose to view
on either eido of the highway.
Long vistas of connlry lay spread out
for many mileB, broken by steep ra
vine*, smiling valleys snd magnifioent
bills and slopes, crowned with noble for-
63ts and waving fields of corn and cotton.
The former .were genorslly "made,’
and promise an abundant yield of lusty
oars end fall crops of peas.
The latter aro far belter than it ap
peared possible for tho soil to produce,
and exhibited the most careful tilth and
cultivation. The effects of dronght were
visible in the dropping leaves and frnit
and wilted weed, bnt as a whole, we ven
ture the assertion that never was the
outlook moro favorable for remunerative
crops than at present.
Tho surface is exceedingly broken, hill
after hill succeeding each other and oft-
times rising to the attitude of little
monntains.
Yet we were pleased to note very few
of those unsight yawning gullies which
so greatly mar the face of Middle Geor
gia-
Hill-sido ditches were not nnfrequeatly
to be seen, and eminences standing at an
angle of 45 degroes to the horizon, yet
clothed with blooming and luxuriant
crops of ootton. Tbo soil is alluvial,with
a good base of clay, and hag been most
judiciously plowed and cultivated, and
perhaps fertilized. We saw no Bigns of
blight or rust, and a little rain, which has
already probably been vouchsafed, will
make tho average Joues oonnty planter
happy, and send many a bale of the
fleecy staple into Macon,
For the most part, the roadjwag laid out
npon an elevated ridgo which command
ed repealed ravishing views of our fair
oity with ils college*, pinnacles and spires,
even when miles of space intervened.
Wo never tired looking upon tho fair
prospect which stretched ont like a grand
panorama on cither baud, doited with
woodland, farm nnd stream, and flocked
and shaded l>y alternate aloud and sun
shine.

Tlie Report of tb«s Board of
Visitors to the University of
Georgia.
We notice toms very discourteous and
gratuitous remarks in the Athens
O.ronicU animadverting upon the recent
report of the Board of Visitors, which
was carefully considered and unanimous
ly adopted by tbat body. No reply Is
deemed necessary. The gentlemen com
posing tbat Board were fully posted as
to their specific duties, and spared
neither pains or labor in tbe exhaustive
examination, which was given to all the
papers of the Senior Class.
All that was necessary in the premises
was Btated reiating .thereto, mid such in
formation given with reference to the
cnrricclum of study, the industry and ef
ficacy of tbe corps of instructors and the
general cooditioc of tne University as
wa3 deemod meet and proper.
The Board pnrsned the conrso
adopted by its predecessors for many
years, nnd, so far aa wo know iu every
previous instance.
They wero not only a Board of Exam
iners, but a Board of Ftsifors, who under
tbe instructions and request of the Gov
ernor, wero expected, as the paid inquis
itors of ths SUte, to throw all the light
possible upon tho condition of tho Uni
versity at a time when there was tuch a
universal demind for information, andeo
much complaint. This they did in all
good faith and candor, without vouching
for many of tbe statements which seemed
nnsuatained by competent authority,
suggesting remedies which they felt they
had neither tbe right to indicate, or the
power to enforce.
They believed that the people of the
Stato expected their paid representativ
at least to gather all tho facts and onciifs
of thositnatinn and present them with
out exaggeration or garbling, tbat tLe
trustees, aud thoso who do possess tbe
right to intervene might inquire into tho
varions allegations and then be prepared
to act intelligently. Farther than this
they did not go, nnd their statements
aro entitled to just as much and no more
credence and importanco than those vol
unteered by any other ten gentlemen in
the State.
Why this attack upon the Board then
who, wo can testify, worked day and night
in tho dischargo of their legitimate da
tie*,and did no moro than had been dono
by tbeir predecessors and by request, ip
stating what were tho alleged causes
tho decline of tho University?
Our young oontompurany is simply
mistaken tbon, In asserting that the
"Board reviewed and critioisod the
Trustees, the Facnlty, eto, eto.” They
stndiously refrained from doing so, and
Btated explicitly that such was not their
prerogative or province. If ho would
publish the roport such would bo the
verdict of tho reader. But wo do not in
tend to be led inlo any controversy with
him, content to Rtand by tbe text and ob
vious meaning of the repoit.
We notice, atso, another anonymous
article in the Chronicle and Constitution
alist which does great injustice to the
Board of Visitors.
Bat tho statements made are so far
fetched and extravagant, and tho concln
sions co irrelevant and illogical, that wo
do not deem them worthy of notice. How
easy it is to attack and rail at any pro
duction, while at tho same time sedu
lously withholding it from tho public, so
that tho injustice of tho comments may
not be made patent to all?

A Sad Case.—A few days ago a police'
mau discovered a woman iu tho first ward
in a vacant honse. The house was per-
footly deserted aud tho poor woman lay
on tho floor. She had just given birth to
a child, which was plainly a mulatto.
Dr. Pinson, the city phvsioian of the
first ward was called to her aid, aod some
kind ladies sent in what was necessnry
for her pressing wants. Still aho lay in
great deetitntion, nnd yesterday she died.
The child is also dead. Both bodies wero
buried yeHterday. The woman's name
was Lizzio Norman.
Tho oaso in all its aspects is one of the
saddest wo havo over known, and it is
patnfnl to bo compelled to obroniclo it.
The death of the Charleston Journal of
Commerce nearly brings to an end dual

in that seotion since he was born.

Erricr cr Dbouth in Baldwin and
Gwixnett Counties.—The Old Capital
says on this subject:
Much of tbe upland corn in th6;conntv
is alresuy too serion-ly injured to be re

The Rev. Jehu L. Stewart, who has

The Berrien county News says tho
wcolseason in that section hns clostd
with a falling off in shipments of about

The same paper has the following: Mr.
Amos Sutton has had jaundice for sev
eral months, and died last Tuesday.
Eight hours beforo death, while at the
stool, he passed from one to two feet of
bia intestine*, which were veiy bloody
and ulcerated. Dr*. Talley, B ogie and
Fort examined them and thought they
were the whole of tho Duodenum and a
part of the Jejunum. Dre. Bogle and
Fort have a portion of tho intei tines pre
served in alcohol, and it has brtn seen by
largo number*. They want their medi
cal brethren of Savannah and Albany to
examine them. Can the records of mod-
icino show anything similar ?

Not Precisely.—Under this head the
Lumpkin Independent has tno following:
A correspondent writing to tho South
Georgian, from Amoricus, nays ;ho Stow-
art county will certainly send her dele
gates to the Congressional C invention
instructed to vote for Mr. Fort, of Arnor-
icua. Thi3 will be news to tho peoplo of
Stewart county. We havo hero ;ofore had
an idea that the voter* of Steivi.it county
wero entitled to speak for tbeiaselves in
such matter*, but it seems that an Arner-
icus scribbler, who sign* himself "Claud,”
has roliovcd thorn of tbo treat lo of say
ing for whom her delegat03 should vote
in tbo coming Convention. Tho zealous
supporters of honoat old Phil Cook,
throughout Stewart county, will bo cha
grined to lcain that they havo been dis
franchised, and that from now on thoy
are to be governed by a ring of Americas
grumblers who are writing up, or rather
trying to write up opposition t> General
Cook. Thoy aro seeking to gel. into tho
field three or four candidates ag linst him,
hoping to get up a dead lock ir. tho Con
vention and prevent his nomination
They flatter Col. Kibbee’s friends, who
are urging him for the position, with tho
idea tnat General Cook is fi^t losing
ground in this patt of tho District, anil
that Mr. Fort will draw nil several coun
ties. They are not seeking to run Fort
in tho eastern counties, bnt urge the
claims thero of Kibbeo and McArthur,
with the view of dividing up the delege
tiors so ns to prevent tho nomination of
any candidate, and especially off General
Cook.
People of Stewart county, are you go
ing to ho dictated to by this ring of Eore-
heads who aro making war upo n General
Cook, or do you propose to stand by tho
man of your choice. Let the friends of
General Cook bo on hand here in the mass
meeting on the 10th of Augu.-t next, tbo
second Saturday, and see to it that the
sentiment of Stewart county is properly
represented in tho delegation you send to
make nomination of your candidate for
Congress.

no doubt, paid by tho bondholders and

tho minds or the people us a great mau.”
Next year, said he, “when he returns
home by way of San Francisco, bo will
havo such a reception through the coun

never man ever got before him. Why,
George Pullman is building now, I’m
