*c:-ibed on the fourth day after the
killing. The prisoner confessed
the deed a* stated, and was placed
on trial before Judge Mackey at
I Sutnler on Wednesday last.- The
denv' l, ifll drew an immense throng of
' negroes to the Court House, where
faith in the power of the conjurer
satisfied them that the prisoner
could not be convicted, (hi* faith
was "strengthened by the fact iliat

Ceizaoo, Uclohor 13.— Judge
.1 tiucstiii,. in hi* cbm up t»-
d*y to tho Grand Jury, called nt-
" ntlini to that portion of the Ilevis-
>j statute* of Illinois imposing
lines and penalties upon • whoever'
contract* lo have or give to himself
itimber the option to sell or buy ut
i tmura lime any, grain or oilier
commodity, stock of any railroad or
• •tlior company, orgold, or forestalls
he market bv spreading false ru
mors to infltienco the prico of cotn-
moditles therein, or corners the
market, or attempts to do bo, in re-
iniiuu to any of such commodi-
'ies. '• # - ' ’ ,
lu explanation of ths same his
■ninsr said that tho statutedenouuc-
••d threo separate niisdeiKespors—
ihe sale “options,” forcstsllitig the
market, and cornering tho market.
Ail these, cither iu .name or spirif,
have bean always interdicted by
"iiiiimou iatv, and that of “forestall
ing’’ was at a very early day made
punishable in Eagjand by the statu
tes. The first offense is tlie illegal
* t!o of options for future delivery
of grain and. other commodities.
Tito fact that property is sold to be
ilciivered at a future day does not
make a Oomraci illegal ; or that it
i- not at the time possessed or owu-
•ul by the seller; or that the time
of its delireVy is left (within fixed
limits) optional with buyer or seller,
though in tine sense-any such sale is
a sale of an optior apparently
within the statute. What make* it
a gambling contract is ihe intent oT
parties that there shall not be a de-
livory of tne commodity sold, but a
paymtnt of differences by tlie party
losing upon the rise or fall of the
market. Of this intent the jury
a.-o to lie judges, and it may be in
ferred directly from the terms of
the contract, or indirectly fr.om the
co’.inc of dealing of parties.
The offense of “forestalling” has
been narrowed down by the statutes
*<> that it cover* only forestalling
the market by “spreading false ru
mor*" to influence tlie price of com
modities therein. The obvious pur
pose of the Legislature in making
.tliis provision wls to protect the
people and consumers, as Well a*
innocent traders, from the damage
resulting .from .unnatural and fictiti
ous fluctuations oi prices brought
about by tlio false suggestions of
interested persons.
A “corner” the _Judge described
as A process of driving' unsuspecting
dealers in grains, stocks and the
like into a “corral,” and relieving
them of their purses. The essence
of the offense consists in the party
securing a contract for future de
livery of some commodity at his
option, and then by engrossing the
stock of such commodity iu the

At the Assay office in New York
an experiment was recently made
with mutilated dollars, halves and
quarters whose face vaiue was $100,
They were found to weigh soventy-
uiglit ounces, and in the process of
in-ltiiig half an ounce- was lost.
Their, computation was made on
seventy-eight ounces, and. itj stood
nine hundred, w,rich was remark
ably good. Tho charges for refin
ing $1 7S. The Loudon market rate
r on tho day tho experiment was
inaue" was $1 12 per ounce, and the
net result was $76 9L The legal
weight ot $100 in coin is 80.375
ounces.
The average amount paid by a
Wall street firm fora moltllated
silver dollar, is seveuty-six cents
The decrease in the value ot the.
coin by punching varies from lo to
30 per cent. Some of these petty

even three holes are found in u cbio
of ns small a denomination as a

and imprisonment for the mutila

this subject: - •
“This so-called bogus circular ha*
succeeded in accomplishing what
the Government seemed to have
been powerless-to accomplish, for
its effect has beeu to stop the circu-

THE COTTON CHOP.
Outlook From New Orleanv und
Summary of Heceut Dl.pctclm.
It is gratifying to learn fromipnr
special crop growing dispatches,
that the cotton crop of tho State is
iu much more promising condition,
than it was two weeks ago. It is
uol to be n good one, it is true, and
will show a lamentaole falling off
from last year; but it will be much
market, making it impossible for j better than we had any reason to ex-
the other party to complete his coir
tract but by purchasing of hi* ad
versary at his own price, and pay
ing in cash' the di fie re nee fixed by
such adversary. A* was said of.'
another great wrong: “If til’s isnot
wrong, then nothing is wrung.’’
Public rumor on the t-trert and in
the pies* Justifies me iu saying that
these offenses aro rife among u*,
and in asking you if evidence to
that effect should reach you to make
them the subject ut inquiry. Your
duty and mine are plain, ilowever
powerful the combination m drfy
the law*, and hoire/cr difficult t»
detect end punish tlie crime, we
raik ourselves with tlio criminal if
wc fall to bring the terrors of the
law to bear up"i> him.
Hi* honor added that it was not
the duty of the jnry to seek inqnM-l
torinily for evitimice that crimes |
hove been eamrnittcd, bn!
should such evidence reach t.,cni
pect a month ago. The cause of
tlie failure this year hss been princi
pally tho drouth,-which has not on
ly scorched the corn and cotton to
death, but killed even the trees. It
hastened fruiting, snd the crop, ln-
-tead ot being a. laie one, as expect
ed, really ripened in advance of
time. During the past two week*,
of that is for county tax.
They run a cash schedule now and
they hsye the conbty on the high
f-isir to low taxes. 'Well, this 1*

—We heard a conversation the oth-
ef da j-"which may not be uninterest
ing m our reader*- The Dramatis
Personae were as iollows: A large,
portly gentleman, fat as old Daniel
Ltmbert, fond of his ease, who
laugh* jovially and love* bis pipe.
Another was a lawyer, looking out
for t;,ir world’s goods, and li iving
an eye to “the provisions of that
The. third wa9 a
farmer, a tiller of tho soil, an .old
settler, who knows how it has been
fur .many a year. .
. The fat man was smoking bis pipe,
and seeming by indulging in utopian
dreams.'Tax collecting aud farm
ing seemed to him as a sorry per
formance, in the bright perspective
of what George. Willingham had
said.
. “Well,” said the- lawyer, “wlial
are you thinking about, Mr. Tax
C 'Hector ?” I was thinking of what
George Willingham said about
Florida." “ What did George say 7"
“day I” “Wby/Oeorga said a great
dial. He lives, yotr know, in Fiori
da. Ue only went there a poor boy
a few years ago and now he I-
w Till $25,000. And, just to think,
lammt ihe same old stand still.”
H ero’s the farmer who h-td hoped for
a big crop, but lioped in vain, caught
the infection from the Tax Collect
or’s eye, and remarked, "Why that
beats farming. Y->u say George L
in tho orange bu*inc**, is he?” “Ol
oourse he is,-and getting-rich, I tell
yon,” responded the fat man, as he
wiped the* perspiration 'from
brow.-
Tho-/lawyer put in again. “You
sey George went‘there on un
cleared land snd has dono all that ?
'.llow did he Uvo in the meantime?
Who stood for'him? Have they
got factors and warchoUso men
dowu there who take liens on the
orange crop as they do here on
-ton?” “Lfens, factors, live in the
meantime—the devil yon
replied George’s friend,
no—don’t need it there in Hernan
do county, where George lives. Let
toe tell yon. George says yon don’t
have to • work much—an acre
corn will make the first
bushels, add then meat, nc
fifteen cents, and "only chicken onr
Sunday or when company comes, as
here in Mitchell, bnt, George says,
ho can go out every morning aud
kill fifty squirrels in as many min-
utes. and turkeys,'too, and 'possums,
and ducks and wild geese—and as
for fish”—
The laner could stand it no lon
ger,- he proposed to the farmer
to get 'np a team and let’s go
do wn and see George and bny in
Florida and possess that land be
fore all the old yankeys from New
England and Wisconsin and Minne
sota took the country. - The old

here 40 -years ago. Then he bad
money a plenty—fish enongb, birds
enough, bnt now it was very-bard
to get the baby a frock. The Tax
Collector resumed. “George says
old man Shape lives on an island
near him and has only to throw out
his pole and mfish of large size is on
it. 'Then yon remember when
Tump and I went to see George.
Why we saw where the potato ends
had taken root, near the kitchen
reimSpw, and the vine* ran on and on
for nearly a' mile, and all George
had-to do was to dig a bill and theie
was a day’s bread—and George
says he only planted a garden once
in six years and keep the grass out.
Itjnst hears on. His bean vines
were as bigasfa young tree last win-
terwhen they were killed for the first
time in ten years.” The party broke
up—each declaring he was goiug to
Florida—the fat man having the
last word. “Now remember, this is
all true; yon know George, our old

Mr. Birnett preferred to retire. But
in the new appqjutment tho finger
of politics glares frowning.'y for the
