J. John Beck, Ordinary, informs us that Calhoun co. is out debt. As we go to press, says the Cutk bert Appeal of Friday, we learn that Solicitor General Parker, of the Pa tau la Circuit, was piesentod by the Grand J ury of C lay county, on Thurs day, for mal-practieo in office, duly prosecutod and suspended until after tho adjournment of tho next legisla ture. B, & A. R. R.—Mr. James A. Barns has been appointed Buporin tondont, with headquarters at Bruns wick. Col. Hulbert is still General Superintendent of tho road, but will devote much of his time to the organ ization of tho Albany & Columbus and Columbus & Romo Railroads, of both of which ho is President. Calhonii Count f. We were pleased to learn from some of tho prominent citizens of Cal houn county, while on a visit to Mor gon, that the stands of corn wore good, and that more had boon planted than usual, and that there -was a determi nation on the part of the planters tc have their smokehouses a little ncaror home. This is a step in tho right di fret tion, and if our loaders of Calhoun and every other county want evidence to convince them of the truth of this assertion, let them come to Dawson, and see men who have boon farmers all their lives begging tho merchants to sell them, at any price , bacon and corn on time. Wo are glad to know that Calhoun is taking the lead in this particular, and our prediction is that she will be the most prosperous coun ty in South-West Georgia, if she gets her consent to go one step farther, and that is to wear out all their old clothes, unless they have the money to pay for now ones; ». keep out of debt. Any Price. As the soason for planting corn will soon be over, and fearing that our far mors will reason like some farmers of other sections, for the benefit of that class of our reader", we publish a sen sible article over tho signature of “any price,” and request that every farmer w r ho6o smoke houses and corn cribs have hertefore been in Tennesseo and Kentucky read it. The total exports for the expired por tion of the cotton year aro 2,287,686 against 1,541,409 for the eamo last year. The stocks at all the ports is 579,732, against 432,296, for the same time last year. Tho stock in Liverpool is 750,000, against 452,000 last year. Tho amonunt of American cotton afloat for Great Britain is 365,- 000 against 227,000 last year. The amount of Indian cotton afloat for Eu rope is 1G9,000 against 101,340 last year. Large crops have also been made in China, Egypt and Brazil, and that the eupplyexceods the demand is evidenced by the fact that the figures for this sta ple con*inue to rule lower. The re ports from the Western grain crops are not at all favorable, and the probabil ity is that while cotton continues to de cline, there is no possible hope for a marked decline in the provision mar ket. Docs not distress and utter bank ruptcy stare us in the face, if the pro gramme is not changed. We think we can produce facts to bear us out in the assertion. Then, let the news echo and re-echo that hog and homi ny is tho motto of the farmers in tSouth-wost Ga. Catalrt vor Carolina. —From tho number of Federal soldiers who have recently been ordered into South Car olina, one world imagine that tho peo ple of that State had again hoisted the palmetto flag and determined to give Uncle Sam’s government another bout. Ever since the people of York and Chester began to protect themselves and administered salutary punishment to a fotr miscreants whom the law would not punish, the movement of troops into the State has been almost incessant. Infantry having been pro nounced unavailable in campaigns a gainst the so-called Ku-Klux, all tho cavalry at the disposal of the govern ment has been sent across the Savan nah. On last Sunday morning an ex tra train on the Georgia railroad brought down from Atlanta two hun dred and fifty cavalry men and eigh teen car loads of horses. They left the same day for Columbia, which is the point of distribution. On yesterday af ternoon another special train left At lanta, bringing an additional force of one hundred cavalry soldiers and eight tars loaded with horses. Tho train will reaeh here at five o’clock this morning, and the forces will leave as Boon as possible for South Carolina.— A uffHtta Chronicle, 28 Ih Fifty-nino newspaper* on the Pa cific coast suspended publication dur ing the past year. Tlie FUli AfctHfckliiulion. Learning that Attorney General Farrow had returned to tho city from Oglcthoqie, Macon county, where ho bus been spending some time recently, conducting the investigation as to the assasination of Hon. George W. Fish, Judge of the Thirteenth Senatorial District Court, we took upon ourselves yesterday, the trouble to a*ceitiin di rectly from him such facts as the pub lic are permitted to know. A fbw days after tho assasination, the Governor sent the Attorney-Gen eral to Oglethorpe, with instructions to use every possiblo exertion, and in cur all necos6ary exiiensos to detect and punish the assassins. Tho Attor ney-General carriod with him two do tectives, Mr. Ed. Murphy and Capt. Rarbury. Upon arriving there, he fouud several prisoners in jail, and turned thorn all at liberty except ouo —a negro. Ho remained several days, and returned home, leaving the detec tives thore with full knowlodgo of his theory of the case. About ten days afterwards, John R. Holsenback, a Radical bailiff of that Militia District, was arrested and a day fixed for a court of inquiry. Tho At torney-General, in tho meanwhile, re turns to Oglethorpe and appoars at the Court of inquiry, determined to arrest old man Lloyd, the father of Thomas 1\ Lloyd, Solicitor-General of that Ju dicial circuit, but didn’t wish to arrest him until night During the day the jail was cleaned out and placed in a more decent and comfortable condition Among other things which wore done for the comfort and cleanliness of the prisoners, a dry goods box was placod' in tho room as a dressing table, and a glass, comb, etc , provided and placed on it. Also, another box of like kind, upon which was placod tho wator buck et and wash pan. About two o’clock that night, old man Lloyd, who was the npplicant for the Judgeship, to which Fish had re cently boon appointed, was arrebted and brought to tho Court-house, and (lie prisoner, Holsenback, was brought from jail to tho Court-homo. While Holsenback was at the Court-house, tho dotectives wero secreted in the two boxes in tho prison. After some dis cussion (1) it was concluded not to en ter into the investigation until morn in<r, and Holsenback was returned to his bod in jail, and Mr. Lloyd with him. They suspected that detectives were about the jail, but had no suspi cion they were in the room with thorn. They talked in a low tone, 60 that they could not have been heard by any one, even at the innner door. But one of tho detectives were within four feet of them, and the other within ten feet of them, and both the detectives heard all that was said between them. Tha conversation continued for three hears, and tho detectives, after hearing all that was said, disclosed their pres ence—boing unable to continue long er in their cramped condition in the boxes. Tho conversation overheard by the detectives, discloses every ma terial fact connected with tho assassi nation. Holsenback and Lloyd are equally guilty, and under the direct evidence thus obtained, and other evidences in possession of the Attorney-General, cannot escape conviction. The Attor ney-General assuros us he will bo able tojconvict both of them. Holsenback waived further investigation before the court of inquiry, nnd went to jail to await his trial in May. Lloyd had no counsel, aa he had just been arrested, and the court adjourned to Tuosday next, when he w ill have a hearing be fore a court of inquiry.— Atlanta Con stitution. Origin of Hie Ku-Klux. The Courier-Journal affirms that the Ku-Klux Klan, as it was original ly constituted, has beon disolvod and is no longer in existence. What now goes under the name is simply gangs of thieves and marauders, without or ganization, without any relation bo tween tho dilforent bands, and with out any other purpose than plunder. Tho Courier-Jorunal gives the fol’wing account of original Ku-Klux: “Tho Ku-Klux Klan was peculiarl of Southern origin, and was intended to counteract the ‘Grand army of the Republic’ and tho ,Loyal League,’ and for the hotter protection of the fami lies of Southern men from the depre dations of robbers turned loose on so ciety after the war. Their object was to protect, notjto depredate; to built up, not to destroy. As evidence of their motives —peace and good order—the oath which each member took upon himself was a pledge to ‘support the Constitution as given us by our fore fathers, and to protect tho woak a- gainst the strong.’ “This shows that it was only the disturbers of thepublic peace, the land pirates who follow closo upon the heels of such disorganization of society as ensues alter long war, who had any cause to fear the terrible bugboar of Ku-Kluxisui. “Its name was suggested by the noise which tho old army muskets make when springing the lock and discharging the peice. Ku-Klux- Klang —the first two syllables made by the lock, the last was the hang or clang, of the discharge, the final ‘g’ being afterwards dropped for the sake of euphony. “Their signs aad grips were few and simple. A member was recog nized by returning twice a gentle pres sure of tho hand, or when hand-shak ing was not practicable, passing the fingers of right hand gsntly through the hair, in response to a like motion from the inquirer. “The Klan was organized as before stated, in a sentiment of peace and good will to all, and malice toward none. It was established by the very best men in the country, tho leaders of the Confederate armies, and extend ed from tire Potomac to the Rio Gran de It was composed of men who loved poace for its own sake ;it was a perfect knight errantry of the South ern States ; as harmless and intended to be far more useful and subservient of good morals than tho Loyal League and the Graud Army. The (Miiiitcrs (Mauling *«»' Their Own Kuiu—l-ook out tor (laid Times. Ect.vci.a, Ala., March 12, 1871. Editor Eufaula News: I have just received the New A,irk Cotton Circular, of date tho 17th in stant, and find the following facts sta ted thorein. The total receipts at all the ports since Ist September last to this date, amounted to 3,153,517 bales, showing an increase of 859,644 bales over last yoar—and considerable more than the total receipts at ,all tho ports for the year 1869-70 (from Boptombor, 1869, to September, 1870.) It also states that large crops havo been made in India, China, Egypt, and Brazil, and the result will be that the supply for tho next twelve months will largely ex ceed the demand, and “with another planting like tho last, wo must bo wil ling to accept lower prices.” This cir cular is not published iu tho interest of speculators or any class of busiuoss mou, but is published by tho “ Com mercial and Financial Chronicle ” which is highly esteemed by all business men in tliis country and Europe, and no one doubts the correctness el its inten tions and statements It is believed by many cotton iu»n, and porsons of large experience, that tho present low prices (which are said to bo ruinous) will not deter the planters from plowing in all the cotton they can. and that a large orop w'ill be made this year, and those opinions have influenced tho specula tors to sell cotracts for the delivery of low middling cotton in Now York in August and September next at 13J to 14 cents per pound, and December and Jan’ry contracts at probably lowor fig ures—winch is equal to about 14 cents per pound for low middling on the plan tation lam informed! that a large majority of planters, ovorwhere, think that prosont prices will influence small planting of cotton and large planting corn, and, acting on this idea, they will materially increase the area of cotton planting this yoar over last year —will saise a largo crop, and get high prices. I have received a letter from an old friend residing in Mississippi in which he states that he and his special friends intend to “steal a march’ on the plan ters this year by planting about twice as much as last year, and expects to make a small fortune by his operation. I noed not state that he is influenced to this course by opinions that there will be a small crop planted, and that prices must rule higher next winter. A prominent and well informed citi izeu of Georgia stated to mo to-day that planters in his section would plant more than last yoar, and that they have bought largely of fertilizers. Now, should a majority of planters plant more than last yoar upon the idoa that their neighbors will plant le3s, tho result will be a crop exceed ing four million bales, and round crops of cotton may soli in Eufaula at five to six per pound. Should this even hap hon, what willl be the consequences ? Tho very thought makos me shudder, and I will close this communication. Ant Price. A Doatoil Editor Proclaims til® Truth. The Boston Courier, which noithor in war nor peace has bowed the knee to the oppressor, thus speaks of the South : “ Recount ruction of tho South. —The late Governor Andrew said, iu effect, that any reorganization of the South which was not brought about by the co-operation of tho men of ability, and the natural leaders of Southern opin ion, would prove a delusion. Recon struction has beon couducfod upon the ideas of the most malignant enemies of the South in Congress. Southern people of intelligence and character have been entirely ignored, and the Southern States have been put into the hands of white adventurers from the North, called carpet-baggers and scalawags. The result is that the South has become a running sore, a social gangrene, and the genuine Southern poople have been hopelessly alienated from tho Federal govern ment. Tins government has neither tho power nor tho right to rule millions of men permanently by the applica tion of force. It is not a government of authority, but of consent. The forefathers of the wliito men of the South, who have been handed over by a usurping Congress to tho rule of Af rican barbarians and white vagabonds, helped form the Federal government, some of them taking a leading part in its establishment The presence in Congress of a lot of ill-balanced sec tionalism and apostles of hatred, like the late Thad. Stevens and others still prominent in Loth branches of that body, has finally resulted in transform ing a part of this country into an Ire land or Poland. What business have men like Ben Butlor and others of like antecedents, whose very names instant ly excite bad blood, to be taking a leading part in the attempt to heal the wounds of civil war ? Congress should long ago have boon purged of all men whoso names had been too prominent ly associated with the original cause of difference between the North and the South. Tho Southern disunionists and fire-eaters were di*poaod of by the war. Our Northern sectionalists and disunionists should have bad decency enough to have taken themselves out of the way, if evon ill-advised constit uencies wore willing to keep them in Congress. Tho men who helped to bring on the war are, of course, the worst possible agents of reconstruc tion, and the restoration of harmony and fraternal feeling. The white peo ple of the South ‘still live,’ and may I be counted by millions. They cannot qe permanently harmonized and paci fied by carpet-baggers or Federal bay onets.” —lt is understood that the next na tional convention of Radical party will demand that each canditato for the Presidential nomination shall submit a printed catalogue of Ids adult rela tions, and that no catalogue shall con sist of more than two volumes of five hundred pages nonpareil each. — Cour ier-Journal.
