WKDXKSDAY MORNINGi::::NOV. 20.
Thk STATE Convention.—The General
Order pulillahed elsewhere thU morning,
Unit Hie place anil time of meeting of tlie
State Convention, recently elected—De-
cenitier 0th. 1HG7, at Atlanta.
The General Commanding; lias acted
promptly In calling the Delegate* together,
anil we congratulate these gentlemen upon
the fact, that their olllclal lot liaa been ao
pleasantly located. No city In the State
cun present superior facilities to render
(grangers comfortable; and no people
could do more to make a sojourn In the
city uTeeablu, than will bo done by the
people hi re. The Union residents are nu
merous, and will extend « hearty greeting
to the members. A comfort,dile hall will
I, e provided, of ample dimension*, and a o.
1 Hoarding Looses can be secured for all.
Atlanta may yet become tlig political eap-
ital of Georgia, -is sbe now tlie commer
cial centre of 'ate.
Tin' New- rproueli of the extra
. . in *„,■, Increasing tbc In
terest of the, 1 efromtlie Federal
Capital. The dispatenea this morning con
tain „ munber of Interesting Items, slgnili-
cunt of the future policy of the Executive
and Legislative Departments of tlie Gov-
eminent. , , .
It U apparent that tlie breach between
the President and Congress has not been
closed during tbo recess. The President
seemed to bo more defiant. while the
members seem determined. Of the result,
should a contest occur, there can be little
doubt. The extra session, which will ter
minate on or before the first Monday of
December, will be of paramount Import
ance to tbo country; whether for weal or
woe remains to be seen.
£3?" A special to the New York Times
says that there promises^) be a strong
pressure to bear upon Congress at Its ap
proaching session to secure a largo reduc
tion of the tax upon cotton anil woolen
fabrics. It is understood tliatCommlsslon-
•cr Wells will favor this reduction In Ills
annual report, If accompanied by a corres
ponding reduction in tlie tariff rates on the
same articles. Most of the manufacturers
. now concede that the Increased woolen ta
riff of last year has been a damage to their
interests. Mr. Wells will also recommend
tlie repeal of the cotton tax.
If the two Interests named unite In their
efforts—which they should do, as they do
not conflict—they will soon force the Gov
ernment to abandon its present restrictive
policy.
“That Shooting.—Under the above head
the Baltimore Sun, referring to the Wise-
Pollard rencontre, pointedly Insists that
•‘gentlemen from abroad” shall not make
a battle-ground of the streets of Baltimore,
and well says In conclusion :—“It might be
well, too, for the older heads of the South,
before Indulging the luxury of writing
such letters as led to this encounter, to be
think themselves of what may be the con
sequence upon the younger ones who have
not yet advanced beyond the false educa
tion which teaches that such contests may
he necessary or honorable/.’
The American also denounces the affair,
and inquires of its Richmond cotenipora-
vics “whether this transaction has been
conducted in accordance with the ‘code’for
street-fighting which Is so frequent In that
city.” ^
.1 ui>gk Chase.—On the evening of the
15th instant, Judge Chase delivered an ad
dress in Richmond at the dedication of the
Normal High School for colored people,
an abstract of which is given In our special
dispatches elsewhere. The Washington Star
gays: He strongly advocated the education
of the colored people, and hoped there
would soon be free seliools throughout the
entire South—schools in which there would
be no discrimination. It is also stated that
in an Interview with 1 the Rev, Mr. llunnl-
cutt ho rebuked him for hls extreme Radi
cal utterances as calculated to damage the
Republican party in the South.
Correction.—A lato dispatch from
Washington corrects the erroneous state
ment telegraphed from Richmond a day or
two ago regarding the expenditures of the
military government in that State, which
were put at live millions of dollars. Now,
the entire amount expended for the execu
tion of the Reconstruction Act up to Oct.
II, was one hundred and forty-live thou
sand dollars. Since then,lt has been some
what Increased, but it is probably not over
two hundred and Ally the*«s*d dollars.—
No other expenditures cooKlfct chargeable
to this account, unless It be the Freedmen’s
Buredu, which for the whole year through
out the entire South, spent a total of less
than threo and a half millions.
Bankruptcy Decision i.v Richmond.—
Judge Bond, register in bankruptcy at
Richmond, Va.. has delivered an opinion
in regard to applications for bankruptcy,
similar to that of Judge Batch ford, of N.
Y’ork. It is that property acquired or In
herited after an application Is tiled is not
liable for the debts of the party applying
for bankruptcy. This decision, ft is said,
will Increase materially the number of ap
plicants in Richmond.
iy Fitz John Porter sought but did not
obtain an Interview With General Grant,
on the 15th, on the subject of Ids applica
tion to have the sentence In his case set
aside. It was reported tiiat the Attorney
■General’s ofllce has furnished the Presi
dent with an opinion alllrming hls pow
er to reopen the case, set aside the verdict
and order a now trial.
Richmond, Texas, Nov. 10.
After a long silence, one ought to be
able to communicate something Interest
ing,,but such is not the case this time with
your correspondent. The yellow fever has
placed a quarantine on travel for some
time, and news too.
The people In the towns along the Rio
Grande have recently suffered severely
from a terrible tornado. Brownsville, op
posite Mntaiuoras, has been almost razed.
The loss of life was fearful. Never have I
rend of go large a number of deaths, from a
storm or tornado, among a population no
greater. This has indeed been a calamit
ous year for Texas. The yellow fever had
broken out at Brownsville a short time be
fore tlie visitation of the storm. The fever
lias even reached Han Antonio.
The deaths at Huntsville, lu a population
often or twelve hundred, were 162, up to
the 20th ult. At Navasota, iu a smaller
population, the deaths, up to the time men
tioned, were 170. This is certainly a very
heavy mortality.
1 learn from the Opinion, that numerous
emigrant trains are directing their course
towards Texas. They will receive a cor
dial welcome, and can buy, rent or lease
lands on easy terms. Provisions are cheap
er In Texas than any other State in
the Union, outside of the north western
region, and they are nearly as cheap as
they are there. Southern men, determined
to change their base of operations, can
And no place offering greater Inducements
than a large portion of Texas. There is
hardly any part of the State in which a
man cannot raise stock for hls own use,
with little or no expense. This year hav
ing been one of unusual disaster, we may
reasonably hope for some future exemption.
Early In the season, while the roads
good, and the weather is mild, is the best
time for Immigrants to move.
In northern and central Texas, although
Immigrants have already commenced
pouring in, corn is still cheap, being only
from fifty to sixty eents a bushel.
Exaggerated accounts of the state of
society have deterred many from seeking
houses and comfort in Texas. This is one
of those errors which is hard to correct.
Since 1 came here, 1 have read accounts
of crimes, committed east of tlie Missis
sippi, surpassing any thing that has oc
curred in Texas, In the same time.
There is no talk of an election for Con
volition, nor is it likely that any orders on
the subject will bo issued, until General
Hancock assumes command of the District
In person. This will necessarily be at an
early day, for old Jack Frost cannot much
longer delay his visit.
In consequence of the yellow fever at
Galveston and Houston, as well as its pre
valence along the lines of railroads leading
to these places, the Fall trade has been ex
ceedingly dull. On this account, the Win
ter trade, when it docs open, will no doubt
bo very heavy, and somewhat atone for
the dullness of the Fall season.
The cotton crop of the State cannot
reach 150,000 hales this season. This fall
ing off, in connection with the depression
of the price, will necessarily causo money
to ho very scarce.
Sugar planters commenced rolling from
a week to ten days ago. The yield is said
to be good, and tho article manufactured
of an excellent quality. Those engaged in
tlie /‘sweetening” business will he flush
when they dispose of their crops, for si
commands and will continue to command
round figures. Unfortunately, sugar plant
In" never received much attention In Tex
us, her neighboring sister, Louisiana, belnj
regarded as better adapted to tho growth
of the cane. Hereafter It will receive more
attention, especially In that portion of
State in which cotton has proved two suc
cessive failures. Iter.
C3T The receipts for Unties on imports
from Nov. 1 to Nov. 9 have been as follows:
Boston $341,913; New York $2,498,031,
Philadelphia $125,007; Baltimore $238,047;
San Francisco, from Oct. G to 12, $100,132.
Total, $3,300,390.
Returns from the receipts of customs at
New Orleans have not been received for
two months past, owing to tho prevalence
of yellow fever. Instructions havo been
sent thither by tho Commissioners of Cus
toms to furnish the returns.
HTTho Washington Star says that John
H. Surratt continues in good health at the
jail, and bears his confinement philosoph
ically, sometimes engaging in conversa
tion with hls sister and a few other rela
tions, who occasionally call upon him, but
most of his time is employed in reading
religious books.

sin mako Fairchild’s [Rep.] majority for

Minnesota make the Republican majority

follows: Senate—Republican, lo; Demo

It was rumored on tho streets yes
terday, that Gen. Popo has ordered this

tenth of December next, and that the order

Journals of tills city, this morning.—Intel
ligencer.
As the “ order” did not appear in any of
the Journals of the city, tho Disunion Rad

A Fund for Gov. Andrew’s Family.—
Say what people will of Boston, she is not
ungrateful to her great men. The rich men
there are raising for the late Governor An
drew’s family a fluid that Is sure to be
$50,000, and may reach $100,000.

m i. i> ,'TAi j n court for Southern
h.mt (,K usoiA—District Court—
lion, John /.'/■.si ne, Jutfgn 1 *reei<1 ing—SO-
vember, lo. h67.—Ex-Governor Brown,
counsel for Foster Blodgett, filed an affida
vit, sworn to by said Blodgett, In open
Court, tending to prove that he (Blodgett)
had some months ago received information
from Colonel Fitch, District Attorney, that
a charge of perjury wonld bo preferred
against him before the grand jury at the
mvsent term of the Court; that Colonel
Fitch promised to allow hls (Blodgett’s)
witnesses to go before the grand Jury: and,
also, that he had been informed and be
lieved that Colonel Fitch was sick in the
city of Now York when the Court met:
and, therefore, lie considered it doubtful
whether his ease could be brought before
tho present grand jury.
The object of this affidavit was stated by
the counsel to be. to show that there was
charge against Mr. Blodgett now nendiii;
before the grand Jury, and also to shot
why he did not challenge said jurors be
fore they were sworn.
Colonel Piteh, District Attorney, then
resumed his argument In opposition to the
motion of ex-Governor Brown as counsel,
to he permitted to challenge certain mem
bers of the grand Jury on the ground tiiat
they had been engaged in tlie late rebellion,
in the course of which ho read numerous
authorities in support of tho proposition
that an Individual member of the grand
jury cannot be challenged after he lias
been sworn, except for a causo which has
arisen since lie was sworn.
Counsel for Mr. Blodgett, in reply to the
argument of Colonel Fitch, insisted that
the Act of Congress of tho 17th of June,
1862, was not passed exclusively for the
protection of the Government, but for the
protection of every citizen of the Govern
ment, and therefore the right of challenge
is not confined to the legal representative
of the Government, and in support of this
construction of the statute he referred to
tlie settled policy of the Government,
giving the accused a decided advantage
over the Government, in the right to
challenge the jurors by whom he is to
he trieu. lie also showed that he had made
his motion to challenge the jurors at the
earliest moment when It could be made
after Mr. Blodgett had notice that his case
was pending before tho grand jury, and
before they had found a bill—no final
action having yet been had on his case.
After the conclusion of the argument of
ex-Governor Brown, tlie Court granted the
petition of Mr. Blodgett, and ruled that the
right of challenge under the first section of
the Act of Congress, belonged as well to
the accused as to the Government, and ap
plied as well to grand jurors as to petit ju
rors, and is possessed by every person
against whom a criminal charge may be
preferred, ami that Mr. "Blodgett having
moved to challenge tho jurors at the earli
est time that he could. be heard by the
Court, lie bus a right to be heard.
The Court then informed the grand ju
ror. 1 *t when any one of them was chal-
ieng • oath prescribed in the second
seetl*e .Vet of Congrcssof the 17thof
June. .vmild be read to him, and if ho
did not choose to take it, he should retire
from the box.
The names of the jurors objected to were
then called, and tho oath read to them by
the Clerk of the Court whereupon all the
jurors challenged, with the exception of
Martin Duggan and John S. Sturtevant,
declined to take the oath, and retired from
the jury box.
The United States Marshal was then di
rected to summon thirty-six additional
grand jurors from the body of the District
to appear in Court at twelve o’clock, M.,
on Monday next to which hour the Court
adjourned.—Sav. Republican.
Fight Between Indians and Negroes.
The Han Antonia (Texas) Express thus
describes a desperate fight that took place
recently between colored soldiers and
Indians:
Major Bacon and Lieutenant Fred.
Moore, of the 9th United States cavalry,
with an escort of seven men, on their waj
down from Fort Lancaster, on tho lltl
ultimo, after nightfall, met a white man
running at full speed chased by a party
of Indians, lie reported that ho was
traveling with the mail party when the
Indians made the attack. These officers
prepared for a fight and pushed onward
Home four miles further on they were
hailed by Walton, another white man of
the mall party whom tlie Indians were
after. Still onward they discovered tlie
bodies of Corporal Wright and private
Irvine, colored, of tlie Ninth, and the mail
was found scattered along the road. The
mail party, numbering tliree privates and
a corporal of tho Ninth, with two white
men, left Howard Springs about sunset.
Some threo tulles from tlie Springs they
were surrounded by about three hundred
Indians on horseback, who surrounded
and began to close in upon them. Walton
says the colored soldiers dismounted and
acted very bravely, the corporal acting
with great coolness. They fought the
Indians for some time, when tho corporal
was shot through by a bullet and sunk to
the earth; hls last words were: “Take
my gun, lam killed.” Upon tho killing
or tlie corporal, Walton said to the men:
“Now, we must escape”—the Indians
S the red around tho mules which carried
9 mails, they having broken loose. In
attempting to force their way through, one
of the other colored soldiers was killed
along with hls horse. Walton abandoned
hls animal and took to the rocks and
bushes, where ho was found by Major
Bacon’s party, and the white man first met
got through with a slight wound. The
two other colored soldiers havo since
reported at Lancaster, one wounded
a h the lungs and one through the
jr.
