t<> hum but wealth. In almost all other
■onsptcuously the reverse, brick or stone. An experiment on a small
cannot be cor. iderod and refuted seriatim
and in detaiL We propose, however,
briefly to r \ow the reasons why the Coast
Water line, can never accomjdish the ends
proposed by the Great Western steam ca
nal under contemplation.
In she first place, it is Tastly the longest
route. Savannah is actually as near to
the Great Centre of the West, St. Louis,
by the Great Western canal, as New Or
b-ana is to the same point by way of the
Mississippi river. Thus there is a dear
saving of the hundreds of miles distance
from New Orleans to Savannah, and all
consequent freights and charges.
2. The objection that grain in bulk
suffers great detriment while passing
through the worm, moist regions of the
Gnlf, would remain in full force, os the
mode of transportation and the climate
would be unchanged by the new route.
3. There would, in reality, be no prac
tical extension of the the Mississippi to
the Atlantic, for the reason that river
barg and flat-boats could not pass
through thefMissisaippi sound, and the
numerous other broad inlets on the Gulf
coast with safety. These extensive sheets
of water are frequently swept by the
fierce gales and hurricanes of that semi-
tropical sea, and ore dangerous even to
the most sea-worthy craft. Hence, a
fleet of light draught, sea-going steam
la built with a proper regard to
strength, would bo requisite, and, more-
ver, these must be coppered to protect
them from the ravenous insects of the
Gulf. AU freight reaching New Orleans
would require to be transhipped to these
vessels, at greatly increased expense. It
has been already demonstrated that canal
•arges cannot navigate tho great lakes
r the North.
4. The yielding quicksands of the
Southern Coast, render it highly improba
ble that the Canal portion# of the Coast
Line route could be constructed at all, or
kept open, even, if finished, unless the bot
tom and Hides are paved and faced with
sin.

A Lame Conclusion.
Tho collapse of tho big balloon is one
of the tamest conclusions to a grand
huiubug of which wo have ever heard.
It ftccms the thing could not even stand
th.* procctM of inflation, and proved itself
n>tten InTore it wo# ripe. Upon the sup-
pi^'.ution that it had gotten fairly under
way and made a veritable start
voyage, what a slim chance there would
have Iteen for its enduring tho 'Unfits of
the air currents it certainly would hav«
cncoxuitered. We think. Wise aiul hi
companions ought to get on their kneo
and give thanks for tho collapse. It ha
saved their lives, and given them gooi
margin Kir future boasting what they
could have done if tho lalloon had not
exploded.
As an adviwtiseiuent of the Graphic,
lt*>wev«*r, it has been tin immense si
and all the bread its proprietors luiv
njHin tho waters in thu direction luis al
reaily come back to them. We suppose
this is th«' last we slxall hear of aerial
voyage* to Europe, and tho opening of a
lmlloon line for piuscngers who cannot
wait on tho slow time of a steamship
must 1m considered as having been in
definitely postponed.
Tuk vicinity of Now York, and possi
bly Now York itself, needs a little civil
ising. Here is how they act on Long
Island:
The tragic result of the tarring and
feathering of young Kelsey doe^not seem
to have, as it ought, the effect of deter
ring other people era Long Island from a
•nunUr.means of amusement. The vil
lage of Glen Cow has fumUhed the
latest ease. It has a number of strong-
minded women among its population, and
aile has already been made in the at
tempt to Connect Darien and Brunswick
anal. After sinking large sums of
money in the attempt* the scheme proved
failure from the quicksand', encountered
and tlio constant filling up of the work.
■ is reminded of difficulties of a
similar nature, which for a long time
id insuperable, in the construction
of the Suez Canal, and which continuo to
necessitate an outlay of many millions
annually, to keep ithn passable condition.
5. The Coast Water Line, even when
in operation, would be liable to destruc
tion at any time in the event of a war
vith a maritime power. Exposed to at
tack for hundreds of miles, the smallest
hostilearmed steamer, or even boat expedi
tions, ceuld seize the tonnage of the ca
nal at will, and destroy tho work itself.
Nor could it be defended by stationary
fleets on a coast so dangerous and full of
shoals, granting that they could bo spared
for such a purpose. On tho contrary provis
iona, men, and war materials ad libitum
could be brought from the interior to the
coast at any time in perfect safety, by the
Atlantic ami Great Western Canal.
6. The Coast Water Line rente would
only benefit materially tho large cities by
the way, or at it terminus. The people
already groan under the infliction of ru
inous local r: diroad freights, and these
would necessarily be continued. Thus
the planter or merchant in Macon or Mil-
lodgevillo ordering a shipment of groin
by that route, must pay to have it un
loaded at Savannah, and place 1 on board
the cars, and in addition, be taxed os at
present with the usual railroad chages.
But the main object of such a work
should bo to save these local and extraor
dinary fores, which add so mnch to the
prime cost of the necessaries of life.
7. The rates of freight would 1» higher
on tho Coast Water Line. Let us exam
ine the figures and facts in the premises.
Take, for example, a shipment of grain
to Atlanta from St. Louis. By the Coast
Water Line tho charges would be:
Cash paid elevator per ton at St.
Louis GG
Cosh paid freight per ton from
St. Louis to New Orleans 2.31

people's convention, and control it with

The New York Tribune has the follow
ing:
The Formers* Movement has complete-
last yea
counties which gave Dexno&atia majori
ties. - In only twelve of then bare the
Democrats made nominations this year.
In sixteen they have formally «lisltraded
their organization; in eight they have
called conventions which are expected to
do nothing except disband, and in the re
maining nine counties the situation is
uncertain.
This only proves that the Republicans
hare been, and still really are opposed, as
a party, to the notsonaWe demands of the
grangers. Hence, relying upon their
large majority in the State, they propose
to hold together and fight the farmers.
The Democrats, on the contrary, are in
sympathy with the movement, and willing
to aid the Patrons of Husbandry in their
effort to dislodge from their positions the
corrupt office-holders and ring masters,
who have so long oppressed the people.
The present contest is simply a war be
tween honesty and dishonesty, monopo
lists and anti-monopolists, and an effort
on the part of the planters to secure
cheap transportation, and the legitimate
rights to which they are fairly entitled.
With these ideas, the majority of the
Democrats and many honest Republicans
also, are in perfect rapport, and hence the
action of the former in the premises.
Immunity to Roguery.
The difficulty of inflicting punishment
upon those guilty of the grossest frauds,
and the most flagrant betrayal of dele
gated trusts, is doubtless the reason why
such acts of perfidy continue to multiply
so rapidly. Juries are packed, judges
suborned, witnesses silenced,•''anil the
whole course of justice diverted from its
true channels by tho baleful influence of
gold. Even the red-handed murderer
laughs to acorn too often the majesty of
tho law, and escapes through some one
of the meshes of the net which the stat
ute weaves around him. The thousand
and one expedients which can be trumped
up almost in every case, to retard, cripple,
and even defeat the ends of justice, are al
ways resorted to when the accused can
raise the wind for his counsel, and finally,
the public worn out by the delay, and
grown indifferent, or forgetful of the
fact* in the case, express no surprise
when tho guilty go free.
The* remarks aro suggested by the
probable course which the notorious Rod-
man case will take. The New York
Tribune of the 10th inst. has this to say
about it:
Tho impression is gaining ground that
the prosecution of Rodman will prove to
bo a force, that an understanding has
been arrive' at between the prosecution
and the defense, that the evidence against
Rodman will not be brought out so as to
secure a. conviction, and that hie associ
ates will escape unscathed. Tho state
ment is made that the trial will take
peared in a new dress, modernized in
style and vastly improved in app*£irance.
Its columns being reduced two ems in
width make it a thirty-six column in
stead of a thirty-two colour: paper, as
before. The general make-up of the pa
per is most artistic, and the reading mat-
ly demoralized both of the old parties in j ter shows progressive brain work and in-
IUinaU, bat th.* Democrat seem to hav j I leased editorial industry. And all this
been the most shattered. At the elec- j without a toot in advance or a diapason
tkm of last year. there were forty-five °* hrag afterwards. Modesty and merit
• * generally go together. The above wat
written for last week’s paper, but the
typos failed to go deep enough on the
copy-book to reach it. It affords us pleas
ure now to add that the editors of the
Txi.LEGi.vrii and Messengeu continue
to make it the most beautiful as well as
most interesting daily paper wo wet of.
There is no rubbing out the fact of its su
periority over it-. Southern competitors,
and, really, there is no reason why it
should not excell, for it is better sustained
at home, and bas four intelligent, clever,
average editors. Not until the steam
piano, or screeching caliope is engaged to
play the accompaniment to the brass horn
too tings of more noisy and less substan
tial enterprises, will the Telegraph and
Messenger be in danger of supercedure.
The same paper says:
Killed bt Lightning — Singular
Freak.—On Monday last during the
thunderstorm, John Long, a colored man
employod on Colonel McLarin’s Oakey
Woods Place, was lighting his pipe at
tho fire place, and while in the act was
instantly killed by a current of lightning
that came down the chimney. Strange
to say, the chimney and building escaped
injury. We learn from CoL McLarin,
who was called to the negro a few min
utes after he was stricken down, that
there wa3 no explosion; that the man was
thrown back upon the floor, and that the
clothing was literally stripped from ope-
half his body from head to foot, and his
right shoe torn off.
The Albany Central City says a school
of nine sturgeons were caught in two
fish traps in Muckalee creek, near that
place, last Tuesday night. None of them
measured less than three feet in length,
and weighed over forty pounds each.

cent event in this section in the following
felicitous manner:

A Loop-hole in the Dueling:
Case.
The case of A. W. Clausscn, who acted
as second in the duel between Gray and
Hecksher, and who was committed for
contempt in refusing to answer the ques
tion* of the grand juiy, was again brought
before Judge Fanclier yesterday. IGs
counsel, Mr. Fullerton, claimed that the
statute make:, such contempt a criminal
offense, punishable by a fine of $250 or
imprisonment not exceeding 30 days, or
both, whereas the prisoner was indefinite
ly committed, and there was no warrant
for such order, and the prisoner should be
discharged. Judge Sandier said.he dis
tinctly added “30 days,” but somehow it
was not given in the order. The question
wa* whether it could be amended. As
sistant District-Attorney Allen said it
could be amended under habeas corpus
proceedings. Mr. Fullerton replied that
this was not a habeas corpus, but a certi
orari in a case where there was no bail,
and no need of a habeas corpus. There
was no amendatory power in tho court.
Judge Faneher said the order was un
doubtedly wrong in not having the words
added, “not exceeding 30 days.” The or
der of commitment was then discharged.
—TV&tine.
The cases are rare indeed where duel

but received a full pardon from the gov

cut open a Bucker iish was found inside

It seems that the tail of the sucker had

and tickled it until the poor creature was

An Incident of Clayton Counit Su
perior Court.—Ihe Griffin News says :
A case that excit d a good deal of at
tention, was that of an old negro man,
who was found guilty of selling whisky
without license. He was found guilty
and sentenced to pay a fine of $75. He
was tho first negro over owned by Thomas
Crawford, Esq., of Clayton county, and
when “freedom come about” Mr. C. was
worth about $100,00Q. Mr. Crawford
heard of this sentence about 9 o'clock at
night, got up and gave the necessary
amount to his son, sent him to Jonesboro
and paid the old negro out before mid
night. This was an action prompted by
the best motives of the heart, for the old
negro had not lived with Mr. Crawford
since the war.
Platform of the Charleston Ne
groes.
The Charleston negroes are raising their
figures. The seem to consider that, as
they furnish the majorities by which
their miserable white allies steal into
office, they ought to liave the right to
take entire charge of tho whole matter.
They are willing for the present to give
the scallawags and carpet-baggers half
the offices, retaining the other half for
themselves. Their platform is stated as
follows for tho next municipal election:
For next Mayor, a white man; nine
colored Aldermen (mat positively), and nine
white; captain or chief of police, colored
man; first lieutenant, whit?'; second lieu
tenant, colored; then all the subordinates
or non-commissioned officers and privates
on the police force, white and colored.
These colored men must be of our own
choice in politics. TVe also demand an
equal alternate pro rata in all the other de
partment* of the city government, and share
in the Executive patronage ; and no man,
we care not whom, shall receive our votes
as a candidate who does not indorse and
advocate these measures.
They further demand that the choice
of white men with whom*they will con
descend to serve must be left to them
selves, and must come up to their require
ments, as they are determined to share
the offices and State and municipal pat
ronage with none “who do not stand fairly
and squarely on our (their) platform.”

In Wisconsin & care has been made
os to the legality of the Liquor Law, which
requires dealers to give bonds to pay all
damages arising from tho sale of intoxi
cating beverages.
The Supreme Court of that State de
cided that the State had the right te pro
hibit liquor selling, or to permit it ac
cording to its pleasure, and if it permits
it, it may qualify the permission in
and immediately proceeded to a room
where his brother wa? sleeping. As he
opened the door. Cap was arisingdrom
the bed preparatory to going to dinner.
Bill at once fired on him with a pistol.
Tho hall entered the left breast ju^t be
low the nipple, killing tho brother in
stantly. Bill would have fired again, had
he not been prevented by a sister. He
was arrested directly after and lodged in
jail. Bill Seats is club-footed. He was re
garded as jailor, as he daily fed the pris
oners. As he went to the jail, it was liis
habit to borrow a putol from Mr. Woodsy
Ligon, after his visit would return it. His
failure to do so this day was noticed.
Cap. Seats, up to & few years ago, was
a drummer for a New York houso, and
commanded a large salary. Liquor is
assigned as the cause of the difficulty.
We give the narrative as told by several
gentlemen from Hamilton.
Mrs. Penelope Teft, widow of the
late I. K. Toft, an old and greatly re
spected citizen of Savannah, died quite
suddenly in that city on Thursday morn
ing. She had been living in Savannah
for forty years. Her husband was cashier
of the State Bonk for thirty years or
more.
The Bain bridge Democrat announces
the death in that county, last week, of
Mr. J. L. Newnan, aged 89 years, and of
Bella Martin, a negro woman, aged 114
years.
The Democrat also prints this interest
ing paragraph :
The Macon Telegraph and Messen
ger.—This great Southern newspaper,
always one of the neatest typographically
in the country, has donned an entire new
suit of type. It is now the largest and
best patronized paper in Georgia, carrying
an average of twenty-three long columns
of paying advertisements daily, being
twice as many as its most successful con
temporary.
Five stores, kept by negroes in the su
burbs of Atlanta, were burned Friday
morning.
Dr. A. G. Thomas, a graduate of the
Atlanta Medical College, was recently
appointed Professor of Latin in the
Northwestern University, at Indianapo
lis, Indiana.
We quote as follows from the Chronicle
and Sentinel of Friday:
The Cotton Crop—An Augustan the
W:inner.—From dispatches received yes
terday, it was ascertained that the Fi
nancial Chronicle foots up the cotton
crop of 1872-3 at 3,930,508 bales. Ac
cording to this the lucky winner of the
$1,740, the amount in the Augusta cotton
pool, is Mr. Berry Benson, of this city,
his estimate being 3,931,277, or 769 bales
or or the actual crop. Mr. J. J. Doughty,
also of this city, is the next nearest, hia
estimate being 3,000 under the Financial
Chronicle's statement. The majority of
the remainder of the 35S estimates ’are
understood to be far below the real crop.
A^Singular Explosion.—We learn that
. last Sunday morning, while two small ne-
I gro boys were playing with an empty
ceived some little pay for carrying it. The
fear of the clique has vanished everywhere
except among Wall street speculators,
who are still occasionally quaking at a
shadow; and tho doom of. the cliques, as
a great power bent on taxing th 3 trade
of the_countiy, is sealed. There is no
longer any formidable band o? freeboot
ers organized and disciplined to levy black
mail on tho reviving trade and commerce
of the United States. The discipline is gone,
the organization is dissolving, and the fear
onee inspired is replaced by hatred and
contempt. The leaders are at loggerheads,
the brokers scheming to avoid the losses
which they see must fall upon their prin
cipals; and the gold chque of a week ago
is engaged as the conspirators of Block
Friday were engaged after the collapse.
To use the expressive language of their
patron saint, it is “each man drag out his
own corpse.” What is yet in store for
the gold clique, in marketing the large
amount of gold which it has not yet been
able to sell and in cloning up it ? contracts
to deliver every active security at tha
Stock Exchange, is an interesting ques
tion, but not vital to the community to
day. If their entire destruction is still
postponed for a little longer their disper
sion into a mere malignant rabble is al
ready effected, and the rest can await its
turn.

Rehearsal of the Trajredy by a Fresh
Witness.
New York, September 11. — The
friends of Mrs. Benton, arrested yester
day as an important witness in the Stokes
case, allege that the evidence she would
give would be the following: She had
been visiting a friend in the .Grand Cen
tral Hotel, half an hour before the com
mission of the murder. Happening to
look out of the parlor window, she saw,
on the opposite side of the way, Edward
S. Stokes. She beckoned to him and he
crossed Broadway and entered the hotel,
then came up to the parlor and conversed
with her tor ovor fifteen minutes. She
left him in the parlcr, descended the la
dies' stairway, and was just going out of
the street door when Fi?k drove up. Fnk
met her and talked with her In wont of'
the hotel for a few moments.
Fisk then entered the hotel and she
started, when 6he heard the report of a
pistol and saw a boy run out of the hotel
in evident fright. She went back to the
ladies' entrance and had again entered
the hotel, when looking up the stairway
she saw two men carrying Fisk up stairs.
As she was going up stairs she found on
one of the lower steps a revolver, and
from its position thought that it mast
have belonged to Fisk. She concealed
the revolver and went up stairs to her
friend's room. That friend had persuaded
her not to reveal her finding the pistol.
Since the murder she has not said any
thing to the authorities concerning Fisk’:
revolver, fearing it might injure the
chance of Stokes' acquittal.
Mrs. Benton's maiden name was “Win
nie White, born in Lexington, Ky., in
1836. Soon after reaching womanhood,
she went to New Orleans, and in that city
remained for over fifteen years, being
especially notorious during the war. In
1863 she married Gen. Benton, of the
United States army, who died very sud
denly three months after the marriage.
Mrs. Benton, in 1865, went to Washing
ton, remained there three years and then
come to this city, where she has since re
sided. In 1871 it is alleged she became
acquainted with James Fisk and Edward
S. Stokes.
The Evening Post says the next trial
of Stokes for the shooting of Fisk is set
down for October 6th.

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
H. D. Cook and U. S. Grant—You
Tickle me and Pll Tickle You.
District Columbia, Exectiye Office, “J
“Washington, September 10,1873. )
To His ExcciUency U. S Grant, President:
Dear Sir—I beg to tender my resig
nation of the office of Governor of the
District of Columbia, to take effect on
Saturday next, the 13th instant. I am
urged to this action by the fact that the
combined demands from my private bus
iness and my pul .lie duties have been so
exacting, that 1 am no longer able to
meet both or cither of these demands as
thoroughly as I should wish, yet it has
been my sincere purpose so to administ r
tho government of the District as best to
promote the welfare of the people of all
classes, and to advance the national capi
tal to that position which it ought to
occupy as the seat of the national gov
ernment.
This purpose has been ably seconded
by the other officers of the district gov
ernment and especially by the Vice Pres
ident of the Board of Public Works
and my other associates of the board,
whose energy, courage and comprehen
sive judgment have achieved such bril
liant results. I have also to thank yon,
Mr. President, for the unvarying confi
dence you liave reposed in me, and for
the substantial encouragement and sup
port you have given me and my associ
ates in the management of tho affairs of
the district. With sentiments of great
regard and sincere respect,
Your obedient servant,
H. D. Cooke.
To this letter the President replied as
follows:
Long Branch, N.J., September 12.
Dear Sir: Your letter of resignation
of the office of Governor of the Territory
of the District of Columbia is received,
and it is with regret that I accept it,
you being the first Governor of the Dis
trict of Columbia since the present form
of civil administration has been applied
to it. I am aware of the labors you have
been called on to perform in organizing
and systematizing new forms and modes
of administration, and also how zealously
and ably you have performed those du
ties under your administration of the af
fairs of the Territorial government of
the District of Columbia, assisted as you
have been by able and energetic subor
dinates.
The national capital has advanced to
wards what it should be with a rapidity
that astonishes and pleases every one
who has been away from it for a few
years and returns. If your successors in
the office give the satisfaction you have,
property owners in the District of Colum
bia, the people at large, and all who have
an interest in the nation's capital will
have reason to congratulate themselves
on tho new form of government given to
them.
Yours truly, U. S. G rant.
To Hon. H. D. Cooke, Governor of the
Territory of the District of Columbia.
Kenyon, Cox & Co.’s Failure.
New York, September 13.—Only 3,600
shares were sold out under the rule to
day for account of Kenyon, Cox Sc Co.
The cause of their failure has been large
advances to the Canada Southern rail
way, some of which are now beginning to
fn.li due.
Kenyan, Cox, Daniel Drew and others
have loaned their paper to assist in com
pleting the road, trusting to further ne
gotiation of bonds at London. Last Mon
day advices were received’ from London
stating that it was impossible at present
to negotiate the bonds, and a consulta
tion was held of parties in the interest of
the Canada Southern. Some were willing
to contribute their quota, others were
absent from the city, and consequently
no unity of action be had, and Kenyon,
Cox & Co. finally resolved to suspend.
The parties connected with the Canada
Southern railway are among some of the
richest and most influential railroad men
Kenyon, Cox & Co., and the Canada
Southern Railroad.
Kenyon, Cox & Co., said thi? afternoon
that the Canada Southern Railroad owes
$2,250,000, and has $3,250,000 of first
mortgage bonds of its own connecting
roads. As late as Monday favorable ad
vices were received by the cable in regard
to }»bioing abroad. The dji- : uity
had occurred very suddenly and occasioned
a* much surprise to Drew as to any one.
Cox denied the rumor that Drew permit
ted the suspension of the firm for some
ulterior object. He said Drew had thus
far acted honorably, and would, could he
have foreseen the complications three
weeks ago, have prevented the suspension
by converting some of his assets into cash.
Cox said that notes of the Canada
Southern railroad to the amount of
$l,50o.000, bearing tho indorsement of
himself and Drew, will mature within
thirty days, beginning to-day. Although
these could not be mot immediately, he
believed that every creditor would obtain
a hundred cents on the dollar. Tho pro
ject would eventually be successful, and
the holders of bonds should not sacrifice
them.
The Evening Post says there is no
doubt of Drew’s ability to pay in full
every dollar he owes, and still have a for
tune left.
Cheap Transportation Committee.
At the session of the Senate C ommittee
on Transportation, Mr. Have . General
Manager of the Blue Lino Freight Com
pany, made a supplementary statement,
explaining the difference between lino
cars and local cars and the reason why
elevators are built out West instead of in
New York. The Central road spoke on.
the same subject. It is supposed the
committee will conclude this evening.
Still More About Kenyon, Cox & Co.
The members of the firm of Kenyon,
Cox Sc Co. decline to make any further
explanation than that they are paying all
their small bills.
The statement that Daniel Drew is in
Europe is incorrect, he being at present
his residence in this city, where ho is
confined by slight illness.
