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. The Chairman of the State Reform Committee of Wisconsin has issued a call for a State Convention to meet at Mil waukee on September 29. The address concludes as follows: “Fellow-citizens: Let in arise and turn the money changers ont of the temples of legislation. Lot us inaugurate an area of real an 1 not mer ly pretended reform. Let us bury positions I tk* P*ut and build for the future. Let Albany mat 's a splendid mortuary show ing for August- There were only three deaths in that plaro during the month— one from old age, one still born, and one from ;oin viking like cholera morbus.

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 Cash paid elevator at New Or leans 0.GG From New Orleans to Savannah, estimated distance by pro posed canal 900 miles..." 2.14.20 Mb people's convention, and control it with out reference to the aims of any indi vidual.” 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. The Acworth Monitor refers to a re cent event in this section in the following felicitous manner: Macon Telegraph and Messenger.— This splandid paper comes to us in an entirely new dress—looking as neat and trim as a 4 ‘swcet sixteener' when waiting for an expected lover. It is the leading paper of Middle Georgia, and is no doubt the best paying newspaper in tho State. The came of its veteran founder and sen ior editor calls up many pleasant recollec tions of the past. His genial face, and friendly grasp, once seen and felt, are not aeon forgotten. Joseph Clisby, with liis philosophy and cool judgment—Jones, with his vigor and boldness—Reese, with liis exquisite taste—and Watson, with liis poetry and ready wit—make, up the strongest editorial team in the State. A gentle it an who lias recently trav eled over Bullock county, Ala.—one of the richest in that State—tells the Co lumbus Sun that the cotton yield this year will not he more than one hale of cotton to every twenty-five acres. The Sun has this item: Homicide in Hamilton on Tuesday— A Lbother Kills Another.—About Tuesday noon, at the residence of their mother, in Hamilton, Bill Seats killed hia brother " Cap ” Seats. The first is about forty-two years of age, the latter thirty- five. The affair hapv'jned Tuesday noon. The brothers had a difficulty Monday, but it was thought to tv of no consequence, as quarrels between them were notunfre- plnco in the court in which Judge McCue sits as a jiutico, and that important tes timony will be ruled out. The statement quent. At the close of dinner, Tuesday, of collusion between the prosecution and (Dili Seats remarked he was going to kill defense are strengthened by the fact that the damned rascal, or war is to that effect.

But by the *team barge system (is reported tho prosecutor, acting .District Attorney Cullen, is tho nephew and law pfcitner of Judge McCue, the chief director, stock holder, and counsel of the Brooklyn Trust Company. It is stated, a’, o, that it was by Judge MoCoe's advice that the defal cation which occurred some years ago by Rodman was hushed up. There appeared yesterday to be a hitch in the matter of Rodman's indictment, but evidence of his gnilt will probably be furnished to that body to-day. 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 ing laws are enforced, and just now we can coll to mind but one instance, that of James “Watson Webb, who was convicted, but received a full pardon from the gov ernor of New York. However wrong the sentiment, there Shoals, Newton county, and is told by the CovingtenMafcj! prise f di . s : A young am was siting .rpot. the bonk of Yellow river when he noticed a large cat fish float to the surface of the water, and from the appearance of its movements he knew it must be deathly sick. After the fish was taken out and cut open a Bucker iish was found inside whieii weighed four poumls and a half. It seems that the tail of the sucker had got hitched in the throat of the cat fish and tickled it until the poor creature was so sick that it had to give up. 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.” The Decline in Gold. Under this head the World sharpens its pen and proceeds for Jay Gould and his felon conspirators of the gold clique as follows. It is good news and good reading both: It is now time to note once more the defeat and decay of the gold clique—a miserable company of adventurers whoso sole idea of gain is based upon injury to business, degradation of the currency, and fraudulent abuse of the power of chartered lxmks. “Within a week gold was soiling at 116, and foreign exchange was depressed to a point th.it threatened stop page of exports for a time, while the fear, of what the Jay Gould party might do caused loans of gold, aghinst deposit of its value in currency, to cost 1J per cent. . for sixty days’ use.

DAY DISPATCHES. The Killinp or McCook. Yankton, D. T., September 13.—Th2 death of Gen. McCook was the result of a personal quarrel. The fight originated in a billiard parlor.

Important Court Decision in Favor of Temperance. 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.

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. tides cheapening materially t bread and meat throughout the ic co?t world.

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.

It is not the intention of the company to remove the shops from Sacramento. Gov. Booth ha3 been tendered a public reception to-night by the people of this city. The Ferer at Shreveport.
