The Griffin Star, of Tuesday, says : Negro suffrage having been thrust upon ns, we see no way to avoid all its natural conse quences ; consequently, we say that, as long as the negroes are allowed to vote, they must be allowed to run for office. Under this view, all that remains for the people to do, is to endeav- or to control this negro element in the body pol itic to the best possible advantage for the peo ple. We know it requires a vast deal of inde pendence and nerve to plant ourselves upon such ground. We know the popular plan is to pander to popular prejudice, and resist ev ery advance of the enemy. Bat the best strat- egy requires that we yield s position which we know cannot be held, and fall back on one that is impregnable. Believing thus, we plant our selves upon the position that eligibility to office goes with suffrage; that one cannot exist with out the other; and that all efforts to separate the one from the other will be utterly futile. We are perfectly aware that this view of things runs counter to what is called popular opinion, as expressed by loud-mouthed, noisy politicians; but we appeal to the sober, second thought of the people to vindicate the correctness of our position. On the eligibility of negroes to hold office,the papers of the State are somewhat divided as to what action the Legislature should take in re gard to the expelled negroes. The most sub stantial and reliable papers, however, hold that inasmuch as the Legislature passed a resolution (vetoed by Bullock) that the whole question should be left to the Supreme Court; and inas much os the Supreme Court has declared the negro eligible, the Legislature shouldreinstate the negro members. The sapient editor of the Chron- iele_ and Sentinel says that the Supreme Court decision does not apply to Legislature members but only to countyofficers. The La Grange Re porter, an able and ultra Democratic paper, ad mits that the Legislature is committed to abide by the Supreme Court decision but advises all ,nore at present Flint River.

New York Dry Goods Market. From tie .naependent of theVth] It was very evident at the close of last month, that the market for domestic cottons had reached a point of depression where any considerable movement toward purchasing, or stocking up for future operations, would inevitably cause an advance of prices. The rate at which the raw material was selling would not admit of a profit to the manufacturers; and the stock in first hands of standard fabrics being smaU, compared with the ordinary supply at this season of the year, a rise in prices seemed a sure thing. Since then the prices of cotton has advanced, and the large dealers in shirtings and sheetings, fore seeing a rise, have commenced stocking up, and the consequence has been an advance of a half to a cent a yard in most of the standard makes. The movement has been very well distributed, and a considerable degree of activity has pre- ! vaik-d in tbe market for the whole week: cans- ' ing, as a natural consequence, a general ten dency to higher rates in overy description of do mestic goods. In unbleached shirting and sheetings the de mand has been rather more active than in any other descriptions of goods, and purchasers ap pear to have a very confident feeling that prices _"_':er. The heavy jobbers are most ly “bulls’’ in unbleached cottons, to adopt the phraseology of the Stock Exchange, and evince a decided wiHingness to be long in sheetings.— Standard makes are fuU half a cent higher than last week’s quotations.

The purchases, however, have been large; and the stock in first hands has been so sensibly re duced that a further advance seems highly prob able. There has been considerable animation in the demand for printing cloths in the gray, and the transactions have been large at advancing prices. The stock in first hands is limited, and we hear of sales being made at 9 cents for 64 square standard quality. Prints are rather unsettled at this transition period, when the dark patterns are not in fuU supply and the light styles are beginning to dis appear. But tho tendency to improve prices is very marked, and when the new fall styles are put upon the market an advance may pretty surely be counted on. At present the prices are about a half a cent higher than they were last week. Ginghams are in good demand, and the sup ply of favorite makes not more than up to the needs of the market. Prices are firm. Printed lawns seU readily at firm prices, and the demand for percales continues good. Rolled jaconets continue in active demand. The stock in first hands is very mnch reduced, and prices are firmer without being higher. But an advance is not improbable, as there is an ac tual scarcity of certain colors. Cambrics are in better request, and prices are firmer, if not positively higher. An active busi ness has been done during the week in black and assorted colors. Silesias are rather more active, but without any material change of prices. Muslin de laines are without special change. The season is not favorable, and the demand is very limited. , Woolens have improved considerably, and an increased activity has stimulated purchasers. A fair business has been done in coatings. But manufacturers still complain of low prices, and a further improvement is looked for with much anxiety. Cassimeres are in a little better request, but without any material improvement in prices. Satinets are in steady demand for heavy weights, and prices are firm. Very little is doing in foreign goods, the trans actions being mostly limited to sales of thin goods and silks adapted to the summer trade of the city. Prices rule low. The sales at auc tion are on a very moderate scale, and the im portations have very largely faUen off. Division in the Republican Ranks in Penn sylvania.—The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing on the 17th inst, says: A number of Pennsylvania politicians, includ ing several members of Congress, arrived here to-day in tho interest of the Republican party of the State. They represent that there is an unfortunate and a very serious division among the leaders of the party in their State, with no prospect of a union before the approaching Gu bernatorial campaign. One fection goes so far as to threaten to nominate and support a candi date independent of the regular nomination of the party. Some of the most prominent of these “disorganizers," as they are termed, are Fede ral office-holders. This is especially the case amoDg tli© Government officials of Philadelphia. It seems to be a fight of the city politicians against those from the country districts. An ef fort is making to bring about several removals among the Philadelphia officials, or have them stop their interference in the organization of the party for the coming campaign. The Guber natorial Nominating Convention will be held in Philadelphia next week, and these Government officials can exercise great influence if they are so disposed. _ A Roman Catholic priest, who has been in charge of the pastorate at Circleviile, Ohio, was married to a Miss Sullivan, of that city, on the 5th of last month.

Perhaps no situation in life could afford great er intellectual e!njoyment than that of being a cultivator of the soil, in some life-giving, health- inspiring mountain region, where, long before the dawn, we plight, from some commanding elevation, watch for the gloriou3 coming of the god of day. ri Come with mo, then, ye pallid denizens of a great city’s stifling atmosphere; com j, and in imagination stand upon the summit of that his toric mount, to which we have alluded; there let us wait until night’s starry lamps begin to grow dim and finally disappear in the dark-bine vault above us. Now look far off toward the eastern boundary; see bow strange, how faint, how spectral is that feeble light which first her alds the coming dawn; yet it is growing bright er and brighter each moment, until now it seems as if ten thousand golden lances were be ing thrown from the hands of some invisible host, far above the rim of the horizon. All na ture around us sleeps! albeit that sublime mir acle, wrought by the fingers of a God, is going on. The clouds that float serenely in that quar ter of the heavens, begin to glow with alternate crimson and gold. The mountain peaks that stand like the outposts of creation, seeming like mighty human giants with their shining helmets on—these are the first earthly objects to catch the effulgent rays. Anon the fiery orb himself emerges into fuU view, and then every dew- washed flower, jeweled tree, wide-spreading plain and sparkling river, start from the cold, grey mist and shadow, breaking npon the enrap tured vision, a boundless panorama bathed in glorious, golden light! We have tried some times, but vainly, to imagine what must have been the emotions of joy and wonder that startled the souls of our primeval parents, even amid all the splendors of Eden, when they beheld for the first time that grandest cartoon of creation, the rising sun —painted by the pencil of the Divine Master upon the glowing canvas of the East! We marvel not when we call to mind the solemn adoration of the fire worshippers, or of those who erected mighty temples, upon whose al tars they might offer sacrifices to the great cen tral orb of light and life which was to them in verity, the bright god of their idolatry! And yet the majesty and beauty of that sun-rise, beheld from the bold mountain’s brow, was not the theme for the only thoughts that were passing through the mind in that hour of inspi ration and joy. We thought how consistent, how sublime, was every object in nature, as they presented themselves to us, each in their particular {spheres. The mighty star that swings in its cycle of a thousand years around the great solar fountain of light, is not any more perfect, is not any more beautiful or wonderful to the thoughtful mind, than is the poor fire fly, that carries beneath its delicate wing its tiny lamp, becoming (so to speak) its own torch bearer to death and decaj! The frail, but exquisite flower, on the rugged moun tain side, unfolding its tender petals, and lifting its dainty little cup for the life-giving dew drops of the fresh, young morning, although seeming ly so insignificant in itself, demands my sym pathy, my attention, just as much as did the bright bow of promise, later in the day, flinging ont its radiant banner of vermUlion and purple, of green and gold, and spanning the dark brow of the receding storm. What then, dear reader, is the language these bright jewels of creation speak? the impressive language they should teach ns ? Ah! from them we may learn order, system and obedience; from them we may learn our own sad deviations from the plain path of duty, and our great responsibility to that Being, whose aU-seeing eye notes even the fall of a sparrow. Oh! let us, then, give more of our attention to a contemplation and love of the beautiful, the true and the good; for in the midst of such devotion, surrounded by such scenes and sacred influences, we shall forget for the time being that the counting room is our church, the ledger our Bible, and gold our god! Oscar Linwood S. Louisville, Ky., Jane, ’69. From Webster County. A WORD ABOUT MACON HOTELS AND MERCHANTS. Preston, Webster Co., Ga., June 19, 1869. Editors Telegraph : Gents—Since my com munication of the 27th of May, we have been blessed with copious showers, and our crops have assumed quite a different aspect, particu larly on the red lands. They are now growing finely, where they have been worked out in time ; but I am sorry to inform you that three- fourths of the planters of this county are badly in grass. Our gray lands are not doing well, the cold weather so chiUed them that it will be impossible for them to recover in time to make anything like an average yield. What little wheat that was planted has been garnered and proved a failure—from one and half to two bushels per acre have been aU that was gathered. The warm weather is having a bad effect np on our freedmen ; they seem to be very partial to dark places where the sun don’t shine. Permit me to say a few words about your city, and a few of its business men. On my last visit I stopped with mine host, the Browns, at the Brown House, and found them, as usnal, ever ready to render their guest aU assistance that will render them comfortable and at home. Their table is furnished with every luxury the country affords, with polite and attentive servants. Now, Messrs. Editors, do not construe the above in disparagement of the claims of other hotels in your city, as I can speak from my own experience, as it has been my good fortune to stop, in my frequent visits to your city, with those courteous and polite gentlemen Collier Boys at the Lanier House, also with the Bying- ton Brothers, and find them all high-toned gen tlemen. And I believe that I can say, without fear of contradiction, that Macon cannot be ex- ceUed in hotels (I mean first-class) by any city North or South. A word now, relative to your merchants: I find J. B. Ross & Son, Wholesale Dry Goods & Grocers, clever, practical business men, with heavy stocks, and with attentive and accommodatingclerks who take pleasure in show ing their ample stock. The same can be said of B. A. Wise, the great Crockery, Glass and Hard ware man; also, Singleton, Hunt & Co., where yon can get shoes and hats of any shape and style yon may want, at fair prices. S. Waxel banm & Brother keep a large stock of staple and fancy dry goods at wholesale and retail, and wiU sell you good bargains; and if you want fancy dress goods, and to see the finest stock of notions in your city, go to S. T. Coleman’s, and yon can be suited both in quality and prices. I have no doubt that there are many other houses in your city that are equally as meritori ons as the above named, and I mean no dispar agement, as I speak only from personal expe rience. J. W. J. Farming to Profit.—Afriend of ours residing three miles from Sandersville, run four plows, last year, working Mro hands to the plow. From the labor of the eight hands and four plows he produced a crop worth $6350. His expenses for hire of hands, provisions, guano, etc., amounted to $3000. Leaving a clear profit of $3350. This is no guess work, but an accurate state ment made to us in person by Mr. , who did not know that we intended publishing it. To rtiis account could be added hundreds of bushels of peas which could not be gathered for want of time to pick them, but which will come up the next faU in the pork account. Sir. ’s land is no better, except as he he has made it so,than thousands of adres in the county. But he plants what he cultivates and cultivates what he plants. His com crib is not located in Nashville, his smoke house in Cin cinnati or his hay loft in Pennsylvania. His horses are able to work, and they do it. If any body has done better we should like to see the figures.—Central Georgian. From Hall County. The GainsviHe Air Line Eagle of the 18th has the following upon wheat, clover and Tinjothy in that county: Colonel O. B. Thompson, of this county, left in onr office on Tuesday last, some#ery fine samples of wheat—the stalks measuring over five and a half feet, and one of the heads count ed containing sixty-eight grains. It is of the Boughton or Tappahannoc variety, and was grown on land without manure, bnt where clo ver had been grown for three years previously, with the second crop last year turned under in the faU before the wheat was sown. The crop is now being harvested, and we learn from him, is one of the best ever raised on his plantation. He also, at the same time, left some of the Timothy, raised on the same farm, which meas ures over four feet. This we believe is the first experiment made with this grass in onr section, and we are gratified to learn that it has proved a complete success. It has been already suffi ciently demonstrated that clover will grow as well in North East Georgia as any where, and if it shonld tnm ont (as these samples would indi cate) that Timothy will groweqnally well, its in troduction will prove a blessing to the whole country. By cultivating these- two most important ciops, onr farmers will be able to_ largely in crease the number of their stock,;improve the soil, and rednee the home consumption of com nearly or quite one half. The surveys of the Air Line Railroad were progressing rapidly. The county had voted $100,000 subccripiion to the road hy a majority of 197 in 572 votes. "We received no Atlanta Intelligencer yester day. The Era came to hand. A very heavy majority of votes in the ’Wes tern Methodist Churches has been given in favor of lay representation. The Press on the Decision—Our Duty. From the Albany Newti\ We regret to see so much unnecessary bitter ness and reckless denunciation. Several of onr leading daily papers have absolutely defiled themselves by descending to harmless invectine and impotent fury. They not only betray weak ness in billingsgate, but 'prejudice the cause they seek to promote. If the conduct of Joe Brown and Kent McCay has not already sunk them to the lowest depths of popular perdition in Georgia, violent phillipics by the press wiU fail to send them there. The vocabulary of epithets has already been exhausted on them, and a rehash of the efforts to consign them to infamy can never reach far enongh down the track they took to do them harm. There is not a respectable or honest man or woman in Geor gia, who does not recognize their complete abasement and irrevocable abandoment of truth, honor, and decency. If anght could be gainecl by again holding them up to the gaze and scorn of mankind, we might be induced to dip onr pen in gaul and search a Thesaurus for words ont of which to coin some blistering curses; bnt the labor is not worth the candle—it would be a work of supererogation, and we decline to en ter npon it. Nor do we approve the hurtful threats in dulged in by some of our contemporaries.— Whatever may be our future policy, this is not the time to foreshadow it; and the editor who, at this critical juncture of onr affairs, proclaims continued hostility on the adjudicated issues, and a latent purpose to reopen and reverse them, is as mnch a public enemy as the vile in struments who are the authors of onr humilia tion. A frank avowal that we accept the situation, and wiU stand by the laws in good faith, is due to our own good sense; and the perils that environ ns admonish ns that there is wisdom in the policy; but if to such a pledge we couple a declaration or threat that we intend to violate it and reverse the order of things as soon as we are permitted to manage our own affairs, we shall bnt offer a premium for fnrther aggress ions, and invite additional oppressive le tion. Of course we aU hope for a better day, and none of ns expect the present state of things to last always; but how the change is to be brought abont, and when, for onr amelioration, are questions for the future, and to the softening influences of time, with its unerring develop ment of truth, we must now look for the final solution of our difficulties. Then, a truce, say we; and a calm, combined, determined effort to convert the evils that are npon ns to the good of the State and aU of her people. The negro is not to blame for having the misfortune thrust upon him, and we should not visit him with unkindness on account of the anomalous position of affairs evolved from the mad crncible of radical fanaticism. Rather let us scrupulously observe a coarse of kindness, generosity and justice towards him, and culti vate relations that will make him fed and know that we are his friends, and that his highest in terests and very existence are involved in our destiny. This coarse will insure his friendship and fidelity in domestic relations, and his willing aid in promoting the general interests and poli tical economy of the State. Supreme Court. Tuesday, June 22, 1869. L. J. Winn, of Atlanta, was admitted to this bar. ' After the opinions in cases argned last week had been delivered, the Court took np No. 17— Clark et. iL, vs. Jerry BeH, from Dougherty, and Gen. Wright resumed his opening argu ment, pending which the Court adjourned until 3 o’clock, v. m. In the evening Mr. B. H. Hill replied for de fendant in error, and, on conclusion of his speech, the Court adjourned until 10 a. al, to morrow. , Horrible.—A Yankee mulatto school marm was brought np before B. D. Smith, Notary Pub lic, yesterday, charged with being a procuress fora Yankee Doctor named BlackweU. Her name is Dellman. She is, we believe, a Catho lic. She is charged by a negro man, who sent his daughter to her at her house, near the Race Track, with having induced him to let her take care of her daughter daring the absence of his wife, and aiding mid abetting this Yankee Doc tor in outraging the person of his daughter, only about eleven years of age. She denies the alle gation, and denounces it as a conspiracy to in jure her. She waived an examination and gave bond in the ram of $500 for her appearance at the next Superior Court, when she will demand a trial Blaokwell had not been arrested. [Atlanta, Constitution. Connecticut reports 112 Baptist churches, with 19,350 members. Negro Eligibility. From the Central Georgian.] The Supreme Court of Georgia has decided this vexed question at last, and says the negro is eligible to office. Judge Warner, the noble old Roman, stands alone in opposition to it.— The people were prepared for such a decision from Judge McCay, bnt not from Jndge Brown. He first sprang the question at Marietta, months ago, and to a great extent is responsible for its agitation. Bnt times change and men change with them. Judge Brown, perhaps, then saw “through a glass darkly.” The fourteenth amendment enabled him to see more clearly.. Bnt it is useless to disenss the question far ther. «The deed is done. It has cast a gloom over the State. The dread consequence of ele vating vice and ignoranee is npon us. The end no man can foresee. The eye of the country was fixed upon Georgia, and hope was buoyant that she would form a nucleus around which conld gather and harmonize the disjointed in terests of onr common country. Bnt she too is driven from her moorings and all is lost. No longer can we hold np the beacon light and cry “look unto us.” Clothed in sackcloth andashes, Georgia strikes “Wisdom” from her motto, and mourns her greatness gone. And who did it? ‘‘TeU it not in Gath, pub lish it not in the streets of Ascalon,” bnt it was he whom she had nurtured into life! Bnt “let ns have peace. ” No good can be ac complished by stiring np the public mind against the Supreme Court. “Obey the powers that be,” is the scripture injunction. We have op posed, as Georgians, the elevation of the negro to place and power, for the common weaL He is not prepared for it, intellectually or otherwise. The intelligent, honest freedman knows this to be true. He is but a child—an infant—in polit ical matters,too easily led astray by bad men to occupy a responsible position. The enemies to the peace of the country say that onr opposition to negro office holders is basedupon a hatred toward the race. Whyshould we hate them ? They nursed ns in infancy, played with ns in childhood, partook of onr youthful sports and labored with and for ns in riper years. Hate them! why shonld we ? Bad men have told them so and made many of them believe that we did, and would pnt them back in slavery if we conld. A malicious falsehood! They pay us better as hired servants than as slaves. No clothing to buy now, no doctor’s bill to pay, no thousand dollars out of pocket when one dies. It hnrt ns mnch at first, and made many of ns very poor, to have them taken from ns; but now we see it was “a blessing in dis guise. ” A gentleman who owned three hundred, told ns only last week, that he could not be in duced to take them back as slaves. But this is wandering far from the starting point. We look upon the decision of the Court as most importnne just now, but hope for the best. . The Effect. From the Albany fiews.] A certain class of editors in Georgia are dili gently engaged in disenssing the proposition, whether the late decision of the Supreme Court entities the negroes, who were expelled, to re sume their seats in the Legislature. We are sorry the question has been sprung, and regret that leading journals have stooped to discuss it. Especially do we commiserate those who have undertaken the task of arguing the negative. Sophistry and quibbling will not sustain them, and for the life of ns we see noth ing else in their columns of argument. The Constitutional right of toe two Houses to jndge of the qualifications of their own mem bers, is not a power to exclude persons consti tutionally and legally entitled to seats. The power thus conferred obviously extends to toe exclusion of persons not eligible under toe Constitution and the Code, and to persons not legally elected, and no farther. The judging of “qualifications” simply-means an examination into the election returns and toe eligibility, and if such examination discloses the fact that the person or persons is or are legally elected, and :'s or are eligible under toe Constitution, the , judgment must be in accordance with such facts’ The idea that the Senate and House have the power to decide otherwise is absurd, and shonld not be encouraged or entertained for a moment. Snch a doctrine would exclude every elected representative who might be obnoxious to toe majority, and ought not tc be countenanced by toe people, even though the unseated negro be restored. The power to expel a member is derived from a different principle in the organic law, and we do not say that either House may not exclude for reasons that wonld justify expulsion; bnt such cases do not come within toe range of the power to exclude for disqualification. Decision of the Supreme Court. *f Georgia. DELIVERED AT ATLANTA, TUESDAY, JUNE 22. From the Constitution. Charlotte Scott, plaintiff iff error, vs. The State of Georgia, defendant in error. Indict ment . for adnltery and fornication. Prom Dougherty. Brown, C. J.—1. The Code of Georgia, adopt ed by toe new Constitution, forever prohibits toe marriage relation between white persons »n<4 persons of African descent, and declares snch marriages null and void. 2. This section of the Code is not repealed by nor is it inconsistent with, that part of the Con stitution which declares that <c The social status of the citizen shall never be the subject of leg islation.” That clause of the Constitution ab solutely denies to, toe Legislature the power to pass laws in future, regulating the social status, or compelling the two races to unite in social in tercourse. As the law then in existence allowed Churches, for instance, to determine for them selves who shonld occupy their seats, and where they shonld sit, and permitted Railroads and Steamboat companies, and Hotel’keepers, to classify and assign places to- those using their accommodations, according tasocial status, and grade, as they might think proper; the. Constitu tion’ puts it beyond the power of the Legisla ture ever to enact any law compelling them to make different classifications, or to group to. gether in social intercourse those who do not re- congnize each other as social equals. As the social relations of citizens are not the proper subjects of legislation, the Constitution has wisely put toe matter at rest, by denying to toe Legislature, the power to repeal or enact laws on that subject. Judgment affirmed. H. Morgan, for plaintiff in error. R. H. IVhitley, Solicitor General for the State. James C. & J. C. Denham, plaintiffs in error, ts. J. J. Williams, defendant in error—Claim, from Mitchell county. Brown, C. J.—1. When toe affidavit to foreclose a mortgage is made, by an attorney, the recital in it that he is attorney-at-law for the mortgagee is sufficient. 2. An affidavit to foreclose a mortgage on personal property, in Mitchell county, made be fore a justice of the Inferior Court of Dougherty connty, on the 24th day of October, 1866, ana the order of foreclosure issued npon toe affida vit, by the Judge of toe Comity Court of Mitch, ell connty, on toe 29th of October, 1866, is a legal proceeding. At that time toe Justice of the Inferior Court had the right to administer the oath, and toe County Judge had toe right to issue toe order. 3. A mortgagee, whose mortgage covers prop erty in Georgia, and in Tennessee, cannot be compelled by a junior mortgagee, whose mort gage covers part of toe same property in Geor gia, to go ont of the jurisdiction of toe Court, into another State, and pursue his remedy first against the property in Tennessee. 4. When there is a dispute between mortgagor and mortgagee, as to their respective rights uni der toe mortgage, and toe mortgagee files his bill, and pending the proceeding in equity; they agree to refer the whole qnestion in dispute to arbitration, and awardis rendered, and, by con sent of both parties made the judgment of the Court, toe judgment is prima facie correct, and a junior mortagee not a party to the judgment, who alleges that it operates as fraud upon him, will be held to proof of actual fraud. When no fraudulent intent is shown, toe simple fact that the senior mortgagee, whose mortgage covered a growing crop, and other property, was required by toe award and judgment to pay, and did pay, a certain sum of money to the mortgagor, is not sufficient evidence of fraud upon toe rights of toe junior mortgagee, whose mortgage covered only the growing crop, to justify toe jury in finding for the junior mortgagee. Judgment reversed. Yason and Davis for plaintiffs in error. Hines and Hobbs for defendant in error. The; I’ic-Nic at Gordon and Gordon Mills. From the Central Georgian, 23-/.] Through toe kindness of Folsom, of that most excellent wayside Inn, the Gordon House, we spent a delightful day at Gordon on Wednesday last. One mile from toe Depot is situated a lovely place for holding a pic-nic. Under a ading pine, CoL Folsom has erected a plat form sufficiently large to accommodate four sets of dancers, where those so inclined can partic ipate in that most fascinating amusement. Throughout toe grove are arranged seats for parties who prefer a quiet conversation; swings for toe more juvenile portion of toe assembly are also erected. Hard by is one of the finest mill-ponds we ever saw, where are to be found number of boats, (one ready manned), for toe nse of exenrsionists. Assembled at this delightful retreat on Wednesday morning were lovely daughters and gallant sons from Wilkinson, and adjoining counties, and also quite an array of grace and beauty, with their gentlemanly escorts, from the city of Macon, all came ont to participate _ in toe festivities of toe day. Miller’s String Band, from Macon, was also present, discours ing toe sweetest music. A most bountiful re past, embracing all that appetite conld crave, was served up. It is unnecessary to say more than that it was a glorious time. The point is so admirably adapted to picnic excursion that we wonder attention has not been given it before. The trains from Savannah and Macon pass Gordon within a short time of each other, and jnst at a pleasant hoar in toe morn ing. The Hotel is admirably kept by a Land lord and Lady who regard not their own comfort or convenience while serving their gnests. All these combined give the Gordon Mills a pecu liar attraction for toe purpose above named. A word abont the Gordon Mills. These Mills, as before remarked, are situated one mile from toe Railroad Depot, and are capable (with only two sets of stones,) of grinding three hundred bushels of grain per day. The water wheel is one of toe best in the country, and, with the head of water ever at hand, capable of driving any reasonable amount of machinery. CoL Folsom contemplates adding a cotton and wool factory, as soon as circumstances will per mit. Parties can ship grain to these milk by railroad and return, for one fare. Shipped one day, ground and returned the next. Tennessee Securities. The Herald’s money report of the 18th, no ticing a decline in Tennessee Securities, let it self loose upon Brownlowism as follows: It seems that the State of Tennessee has been financially a sad victim to toe political wrangles which have distracted her councils. According to figures which will be given to toe public in a few day through toe Comptroller,the State which was first to undergo reconstruction and which under better auspices wonld have been among the most prosperous in toe Union will, on the first day of July next, be bankrupt for a sum amounting to nearly four millions of dollars.— This is in addition to toe immatured .bonded debt of forty millions. The State now owes $600,000onacooont of that January interest; $1 ,- 150,000 to the school fund, of which $130,000 is in toe form of Comptroller’s warrants; $225,000 on Militia and Penitentiary account, and $1,100,- 000 for past due bonds. The interest to be met Jnly 1st amounts to $1,100,000, making an ag gregate of nearly $4,000,000. To pay this toe State has only $350,000 due from the railroads whose bonds she endorsed. Flagg & Fish, plaintiffs in error, vs. John W. Johnston, defendant in error. Foreclosure of mortgage from Dougherty. Brown, C. J.—1. When a mortgage made to Thos. W. Willingham, his heirs and assigns, was transferred by W’illingham, by written as signment, to John W. Johnston as administrator of Green D. Sharke, deceased, such assignment, if properly stamped, conveyed the mortgage to toe estate, and it became assets in toe hands of the administrator ; and the proceedings to fore close it must be in the name of said Johnston as administrator, and not in his individual charac ter. Judgment reversed. .. H. Morgan, for plaintiff in error. Hines and Hobbs, for defendant in error. John Doe, ex. dem., Benj. F. Toggle vs. Rich ard Roe, cas. ejr., and John H. McMath and John Teal, tenants.' Ejectment from Sumter. Brown, C. J.—A grant issued to Isaac O. Hol land, orphan. It appeared by parol that there was no such person as Isaac O. Holland, orphan, in the district at the time of giving in for draws; but that Isaac O. Holland’s orphan, Mary Hol land, was in the district and did give in for a draw. Held: That parol evidence of these facts may be given to toe jury, not to prove a mis take in the name of toe grantee, bnt to give ef fect to the grant by identifying the person, in tended as the grantee. Judgment reversed. J. J. Scarborough by S. H. Hawkins and Rich ard H. Clark, for plaintiff in error; W. A. Hawkins, for defendants in. error. A Day’s Grime In New York. In a late number of the New York Tribune appears toe following: Onr chapter of crime in and about the city is again painfully full. No clue has been found to the murderer of WoodalL A notorious liquor seller in Houston street (who beat a man to death a few months ago) nearly killed Joseph Hogan on Saturday. There was a shooting case in Pearl street; there was an assault with a hatchet in Rose street; a Sixth Ward fight in Elizabeth street; a stabbing case in East Broad way; another in Catherine street; more stab bing in toe Ninth avenue; a man found in toe river at South Brooklyn—probably murdered. Besides all these, there were half a dozen small er affairs of a similar nature; and an attack npon a negro in Brooklyn yesterday resulted in a homicide. In the light of the foregoing the distress of the Tribune over disorders in toe South should abate. The Tribune should consider that mak ing due allowances for toe social and political npheavak of Reconstruction, toe South should not reasonably be expected to be so far in ad vance of New York as she is, bnt being so, a crime now and then might be possibly set down to toe general account of the infirmities of hu man nature, rather than to any particular - dev ilish and rebellions disposition of toe people. Life Insurance in England.—According to statistics recently published by Parliament, says toe New York Commercial Advertiser, in toe last twenty-five years there have been 267 life assurance companies registered in England. Of these 148 have been wound up, or have ceased to transact business, and 43 have been amalga mated with stronger companies, so that only 76. are now in existence. Of the 43 amalgamated companies, 13 were on mutual principles, and 30 were on a stock basis. The paid-up capital of those 30 stock companies amounted in toe aggregate to $1,912,395, giving an average to each of 63,746. The subscribed capital how ever, was mnch higher; in one instance the paid-up capital was $53,290, but the subscribed was $1,242,500. The lowest capital heU by a company at the time of amalgamation was $545, and the highest $459,800. The Insurance Reg ister gives a more detailed account of these transfers and amalgamations, and abo.ws that the European absorbed 33, the Albert 22, the Eagle 20 weaker companies.
