Inmli “ERROR CEASES TO BE DANGEROUS WHEN REASON IS LEFT FREE TO COMBAT IT.”—Jefferson. VOLUME XXII ATLANTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 1870. NUMBER 21 «■ DrrMi) Jutrliigfnrrr FUBLibBKO daily and weekly by JARKD IRWIN WHITAKER, Proprietor. ATLANTA, GEORGIA, Wednesday, June IB, I87C. Colton nanoferturlaK Bfoehtnor)’. A bill is before i be Sen Ate ol tbe United Suttee to admit tree oi ol duty cotton manufacturing machinery lo tbe extent ol 10,000 spindles to each importer. The existing (arid is about 40 per cent on this class of imports. We earnestly hope that the bill may pass. It would eive a strong impulse to cotton spinning in tbe South Heavy Majority. The official majority in the State of New York lor tbe Democratic candidate lor Chief Justice is announced to be 87,275. An old ring leader of the Radical party, (says tbe Nashville Cutan d. American,) in bearing the result, de clared “ the colored troops lougbt nobly; but they don’t vote worth a cent.” Vary Desirable. It is asserted by those best acquainted with the subject that if the House interun) tux bill succeeds in becoming a law, at leuti ball the present number of officers of internal revenue can be dispensed with. Tbe reason lor this i • given that tbe bill simplifies tbe workings of the internal tax system, cuts ofl unnecessary work, etc, reduces taxes so that about two districts can he consolidated into one, and half the officers carry on the work with as much facility as ii is now performed. Redaction of me Income Tex. Congress (the House) has voted to raise the amount, ol exemption iu iucoim-a to two thou sand dollars, aud reduce the rate to three per cent. It there was the least justice or ptopriely iu continuing the law itseil, the modification would he acceptable; but as Congress faithfully promised that it should expire with 1369, and as the people have nominally pronounced against its revival in any tortn, even this im provcmcnl will not answer in place ol the total and unconditional abolition ol the tax. A Story of Wasted Sympathies. Mrs. Kelly, who was captured some time ago by tbe Sioux, and whose account ol most inde ceut and brutal outrages upon her, committed by the savages, so worked up our people, bus arrived at Washington to look alter her claims before Congress. It apiiears that the Indians now there were the perpetrators ot the outrages. Notwithstanding this Mrs. Kelly visited them. Both parties seemed to be pleased with the meeting, and entered into a lively and apparently friendly chat. •• No Foreign l*ollcy to Defend.” The Bpringfleld Republican, a leading Repub lican paper of Massachusetts, states that there is a story circulating at Washington, which may or may not be true, that Secretary Fish met General Banks, Chairman of tbe House Com mittee on Foreign Adairs, at the White House, a day or two after the late attack by Y<>orhees and others on the State Department, tor ita course toward Cuba, and asked him why some mem her ot the committee, or some Republican, did not defend the Administration. General Banks replied sharply, so the story goes, aud even went so tar as to say that the State Department had no foreign policy to delend, after which botn became a little excited. It seems, however, that it has a domestic one to enforce. Special Iron Waohlnzton. We notice in the New Era of yesterday morn ing, the following special telegraphic dispatch to that paper: Special to the New Bra. WASHINGTON. Washington, June G.—There is not a word ot truth in tbe ataiement telegraphed trom this city in Associated Press dispatches on Saturday night that the Reconstruction Commiit<eby a vote of 8 to 7, bad agreed to amend Uie Georgia Lill, so as to require an election in November Ttoxt. The Committee sometime since agreed upon a bill for the admission of Georgia, simitar to that ot Mississippi, Virginia and Texas with an amendment authorizing the organization of militia, aud have taken no action ou the bill sicca The bill will be reported and put on its passage as soon as the other measures, now before the House, will permit. Gen. Butler made an ineffectual attempt to put the bill on its passage last Friday. The House is now lullv occupied with business presented by the Chairman ot the Committee ol Wuys aud Means, and appropriations. The Rev. Dr. Collier arrived here on Thurs day night, aud left for his home in Ohio on Sat urday evening. The Doctor expressed himself very lreely in conversation with members of Congress while here, in lavor ot sustaiuiDg Gov. Buttock and the Republican organization in Georgia, and in opposition lo any amendment forcing an amendment this fall. This puts a new phase upoo the Georgia Question, and a very different one irom that put upou it by the Associated Press ageut in his dispatch to the Southern press. Time will tell which is right—the special to the Era, or the agent ot the Associated Press. •» Spotted Tall ” and “ Red Cloud.” These two Indian braves with their followers, have created much sensation in Washington. The following notice of them, which we clip trom the Boston Post, will be iound interesting by our readers. Refering to Iheir occupation ot the same hotel floor, that paper says : “ The Chief of these two tribes have pitched their wigwarms on opposite sides ot the upper hall. They have strode to their imaginary chalk lines,, grand in wampum and leggins, moccasins and feathers, aud looked in sullen silence across one to the ..thee. Rut lor a stated lime not a word passed. Neither Red Cloud nor Spotted Tail indulged in a preliminary “ ugh I ” Two ladies, such as an appreciative dressmaker might gel up inside ot a couple ot thousand dollars, would study one another’s trimmiugs with very similar Interest and affection ” “ The Indians look out ol small eyes, but they are able to sec great thoughts.

" . Resolution by the Atlanta Liquor Deal ers Association.—The following resolution has just been adopted by tbe Atlanta Liquor Deal er,’ Association. We are uot apprised ol the exact nature of the suit in question. Re so! cod. That the President be instructed to request the Attorneys employed by tnU a-ooci-t- tiuii to co-operate with the attorneys ot our 5>s- v tnuah Liquor Dealers’ Ass.atUtion, in testing a mallei now iu court, iu i«l* ion to the- tax on distilled spirits, aud that |^< v n « 1 r them, all the aid in thrir power, in vou tueimg mid mil in case their services should he ueedea Resolved, That a copy ot this resolution be torwaroed to the Savannah Liquor Dealers’ As sociation.., STATE NEWS. The following novel view ol the return ot the Ex-Governor ol Idaho to Georgia, to publish in this place a paper yclept the “ True Georgian ” we note in a late number of the Columbus Sun : “The good people oi Georgia will learn with regret and mortification, that one Sam Bard, a notorious political vagraot, is going to return to the State He has written a letter to Grant re signing tbe position of Governor of Idaho, alleging as a reason, that reconstruction is uot eeithsl in Georgia. Along wiili bis resignation < otues the report that he will go into the edito rial business again, and will i-nmtueuce a cru sade against Bullock. We take this to mesa that Samuel has not been paid tor the Era, and is going to take it back. The promised crusade against Bullock will amount to weak and silly abuse ot him peisonatly, until he pays Bard to stop it” It is questionable whether Bard was ever appointed Governor of Idaho. A practice pre vails at Washington which is known us endow ing. It may be explained iu this way : A man desires an appointment, to wli**iu the adminls tration does not desire u> give one. In order to get rid ol bis importunities, he is endorser). That is, he is tenderer! the appointment alter he has written out and filed his resignation ot the same. He is then permitted to make what he cun out ot the honor roulerred.” Cheap Lots in Gainesville.—Judge J. W. Davis r,tiers to make a present of six lots, on the street leading lioru the Public Square to the Methodist Church, to any parly who will erect thereon good brick business houses. This is a generous nfler, and we hope to see six good stores going up there at an early day. [So says the Gainesville Eagle This is a liberal offer considering that Gainesville is a. growing town, aud when the Air-Line Railroad is completed to and passes through it, it must become a very important and tlirdty place] The Chops.—We have fiue rains now, and as the wheal is made and the corn crop iu the very be-t condition, no fears are now had tor the re sult this year Never, in the history ol the counlty for one hundred yeais, has there been such an abundant harvest of wheat, nor so good aprosp<ct lor corn. Iu many States of tbe great West, two ciops ol wheat have been held back lor higher prices; and now tbe prospect forces the whole immense stock on the market, which has already reduced good flour to $3 50 per barrel, and extra flour to $4 50, with the certainty of much lower prices. This is a dam per on theshylocks who gloat over the miseries ot maukiud; but good cheer to the poor who have worked hard for the last ten years to buy flour at $10 00 per bairel.—Air-Lime Eagle. Bought Lots—We are pleased to record tbe tact that Maj. Bell, the efficient Comptroller General of the State, bought a five acre lot in our town during his late visit here. We earnest ly insist up >n others to come and do likewise. Also, Dr. Chenault, trom Homer, has pur chased a t eautilul building lot of four acres, and says be will have his nice English cottage up aud living in it by September next. We are ever glad to welcome such gentlemen to our town, and hope to see many more soon. Come on, gentlemen, we have here hundreds ol desbable building lots at very reasonable figures — Air-Line Eagle. Says tbe same paper: The citizens of Union county had a Railroad meeting, which will soon be published. It had direct reference to the Macon aud Knoxville Road. We predict that they will not be dis appointed. The R >ad will soon be built, unless the projected means are absorbed, like those ot the Western North Carolina Rond, running from Morgantown to the line near Ducktown, Tenn., at which point the through route to Dal ton, Selma and Mobile will intersect it, and form one of the longest routes in the South, and one which is indispensable to tbe seiuemec* and full development of the resources of ten counties in Western North Carolina, and six counties in Northeast Georgia. Death.—We regret to announce the death of Mr Jno Jesse, an old and esteemed citizen oi this place Mr. Jesse was originally from Vir ginia, but has tor many years past been a resi dent of Washington, where his unassuming man ners and consistent life, have obtained tor him tbe respect and esteem ot alL He had, we learn, been confined to his room tor several years by tbe illness which terminated bis life.— Washing ton Gazette. Rain.—We are constantly receiving light showers ol rain, which wlil doubtless be of great benefit to the grain ctops, but which will also render very difficult the extermination of that greatest enemy of tanners—General Green.— Washington Gazette. A Well and Successfully Executed Trick —It is related of tbe Sheriff ot Houston county, that on visiting the jail a few days ago, two negro prisoners complained to him ot the dirty condition of their ceil, and told him it be would furnish them with a bucket oi whitewash they would whitewash it. He complied with their request The next visit he mails to their cell, immediately on opening the door, the con tents of tbe bucket were dashed in his face, which so blinded and disabled him as to enable the two darkies to make good their escape.— Savannah News. ’ Afloat Again.—Two of Savannah’s most gallant sons, Captain Wm. Ross Postell and Walter Wallace Smith, sailors, whose brave deeds afloat and whose hardships iu Northern prisons during the late war made their names familiar as household words throughout the South, sail to day lor Cuba on the British schooner Hamlet, the first named as Captain, aud the latter as mate. Their mission now is that ot quiet merchant sailors, and we hope they will have fair winds to waft their scho iner on her way. The Hamlet was cleared by our old triend, Mr. A. L. Richardson, lor St. Ja«o de Cuba, with a cargo of 92,372 teet yellow pine lumber, valued at $1,988 31.—Il>. A Tame Wild Cat.—Some seven weiksaso Mrs. Mary Graffe, wife of Mr Bernard Uraffe, on the corner ot Huntiogto.. and Montgomery streets, had presented to her the kitten ot a wild cat. It was then about oue week old. Mrs G. has taken a great deal of pains with the animal, and it is uow about the size ot a full grown house cat, and is very docile, and seems to be completely domesticated. When first received it was extremely wild. Our informant does uot Stale whether or not it is a good “ mouser.” As a house cat, however, he states that it is a com plete success, being as loving and as amiable in disposition as tbe veriest old Tom cal in the neighborhood.—lb Revolutionary Relics—Discovery of Homan Bones, Old Coins, &c.— Ou Saturday last, while the workmen were engaged iu exca vating lor the foundation ot the new Ireighl de- t «>t tor tbe Savannah & Charleston Railroad, a uurnber ol interesting and curious relies ol the past were discovered, which carry ns hack to the first rebellion in 1770, aud by violent con trast to struggles •more recent lor the same great principles ot self government. The new It eight depot is being built in the yard ol the Ceutial Railroad, south of the passenger depot. At this point was unearthed the bones ol several human beings, and among theta a human skull, to which was still adhering a bunch ol hair, plaited in three plaits. Tins skull, evidently, was that of an Indian, or one ol the old school gentlemen ot the pe riod. There was also found a number ot corns which, from the r position, (Heine in a pile to gether,) had been in a bag or purse, whicn had passed away into mother earth, leaving the metal behind. Amongst the coin were two one-dollar silver pieces and five Spanish quarters, bearing date Irom 1754 to 1776. borne of the bot.es were found iu a regularly made grav*’, and it is reasonable to suppose had the excavation been continued more these relics of the past would have been brought to light. Wi o kit- w> but '• bai c»'d “Touioehich'.'’ himself may uoi. claim these remnants of monad y as his own, or that some of the distinguished old lime “Kelts" who loll owed the uoble Couut Pulaski at the siege of Savannah may cot quietly sleep at this spot, even amid the con tinual bustle aud noise ot the iron horse as it dailv goes and comes. This spot is a portion of the hill Upon which, during the siege of Savannah in 1779. tbe Ameri cans had erected a retsmt. and the conclusion is not harsh to suppose that the remains Iound are those of some ot the d:&t “Rebs” who died gallantly during battle for the right ot self- government. We hope the collected and preserved, and that the Georgia Historic al will throw some light upon this interesting inquiry.—Savannah New*. The Cob® County Falk.—The monthly ex hibition of tbe industrial matter of Cobb county, came off yesterday in Marietta. It was in every way a success. The Society, under whoee aus pices the exhibition was held, has been organ ized only three months since, and this was their first eflort to bring before the public the produc tive wealth ol the coaoty. During the morning Niello)'s Hall was by maoy ladies and gentlemen, examining the articles on exhibition, aud admiring the richness oi their quality, ('berries, strawberries, rasplierries, currents—of the finest variety and most luscious flavor, em braced the fruitage, white cabbages, lettuce, dec., ol the largest size aud rarest species—represent the department ol vegetables. Tbe display ot butter was conspicuously splendid. The competition in this w as greater than in any other department. Such golden lumps we have never before seen in the South. The display would do honor to Goshen county, New York ; aud we here would remark, en pas sant, that it would he an excellent thing lor sune ol the ladies of Cobb to enter the lists at some county lair Noitb, as we leel satisfied that their dairy exhibition in Marietta yeateiday equals auy that vve have ever.seen in that lali- ilude. There was but little competition in the ce reals—in iact but a small amount on exhibition. The,wheat was oi a very superior quality. One attraction of the table Fair was a stalk of cotton eighteeu inches in height, grown on tbe farm ot Mr. Roberts, the President ot the Cobb County Agricultural Society. It was the object ot univeisal atten tion. The charm which exists in the Southern mind in regard to the raising ot this plant, was very fully and happily exemplified iu the fasci nation, which seemed to hold the crowds around the table upon which the little giant was placed. Everybody must see King Colton. An amateur band discoursed some delightful music while the committee were engaged iD awarding the several premiums Al 1 o’clock the Agricultural Society met iu the hall, and the President announced the successful competitors. Robert B. McAfee was awarded a $10 cup for the best colt; W B Whiteinoie, a $10 cup for the best vegetables; B. Stripling. a $10 cup tor the best early wheat; Mrs. T. M. Foster, a $5 butter knife tor the best butter (not handled.) CoIoDel Mansfield made the opening address, in which he gracefully introduced Colonel D. W. Lewis—as late Secretary of the State Agri cultural Society—a9 the orator of the occasion. We regiet uot being able to hear the address. The net proceeds ot the fair will foot up some $25. We are convinced by our visit to Cobb of this tact, that the is one ot the liveliest counties in the State, aDd will add fresh laurels to her brow at the coming Atlauta Fair. A Good Thing — We learn that guano and other fertilizeis ate net selling so last as tome time back. Gentlemen from the rural dittricts are stealing the thunder of the fertilizing com panies. They have been taught how to make their own fertilizers. They buy tbe ingredients themselves, and make what they want. We are glad to learn this. The industry and intelli gence ot cur agriculturalists are leaping its reward ; tbe independence oi the planter and farmer is now almost complete; every one ot that class must be intelligent in order to have rich golden harvests; be takes some good South ern horticultural journal, reads it week by week, practices the philosophy ot its pages, makes a study of his farm and a science ol his labor, and walks over his fat acrea the most independent man on the face of God’s green globe. Tbe Public p.bt-luaportaitS Financial PYe|M»altlona. In the House, os tbe 6lh, Mr. Schenck, Chair man of Committee on Ways and from Means, that committee reported a bill to authorize the funding ot the public debt, and for other purposes. Recommitted an«L,.ordered pr inted. It author izes the issue of oije billion ot coupons and reg istered thirty-year bonds, redeemable in coin, bearing four per cent, coin interest, the princi pal aud interest to he exempt from all Federal, State, municipal or local taxation. The total bonded debt is not to be increased, but new bonds are to be exchanged tor outstanding 5 20 bonds al par value. The 4ili sectiou, -authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to set' all surplus ot gold in the Treasury, the proceed* of which are to be used in buying up and canceling 5-20 bonds. The subsequent sections authorize the cancellation aud destruction of S ends now or hereafter held as sinking and sp. oial funds, a detailed record thereof to be kept. And the same to be deducted from the outstanding debt, and an amount equal to the interest on.ell bonds belonging to the sinking fund shall he applied to the payment of the public debt. This is one of the most important financial propositions that has been submitted to Con gress tbe present hsbijk and coming as it does trom the Committee -m Ways and Means, is in vested with more importance than it coming from any other sou re-. It is evideut the Coni rnittee have seriou-T r ..usidered the magnitude ot the public debt, Lb, pressure upon the govern ment, and look upoo the proposed measures as the only one by a.;u through which it can be relieved, and its finances placed in a healthy condition. The late day, however, in the ses sion, at which the *f*ili is reported, renders it doubtful whether it dan be acted upon before the day fixed lor the ad mrnment ot Congress. If so, it will have to lay over to, or will probably be renewed, the nex(( War Cloud* In ilie East, Private advices Ksve been received in New York, from Liverpool, slating that the coalmen lal buyers cleared the breads tuffs market ahead ot cable quotations ;j hence English purchasers had to tall back ou bur market, and the result was that they swept it iu less than teu minutes of two hundred th.inluud bushels ol wheat, and were dissatisfied that they could not get a suffi cient supply of flour lor immediate shipping purposes. Ou Sunday orders were received by cable fiom France tor lurlher purchases, and there exists now no.il Aubt that serious troubles are apprehended on the continent. War in the East ot Europe is among the im mediate probabilities'jf the summer. Russia is again regarded as an aggressor by the Western powers, and it is belli red that Prussia this time will join France in preventing the Czar from dealing a death bfowjo Turkey. It is evident that the Egyptian Vic eroy’s preparations for wal against Turkey are openly encouraged and aided by Russia, and the Crimean war may have to be iought over again to keep the Czar out of Constantinople. The effects of such a war upon the American States, will necessarily be a rise in all bread staffs; which tbe gra*£rs ol wheat in the West will be thankful for. We do not think it will at all affect the price or demand for cotton, but will certainly affect those growers ot that great Southern staple, whs, instead ol growing all the wheat and other grain they need for con sumption, depend upon the West for them. Those people whose hair is taming gray should use Hall’s Vegetable Sicilian Hair Re- newer to restore it to its patera] color and vigor. A Portuguese McFarland. A small country reads os a great lesson on a great subject. This is not surprising. Says old Ben Johnson: “ It is not growing like a tree In bulk, doth make men better be.” And it uot men, not nations A Portuguese husband, much more certainly and plainly wronged in his affections than the dull creature McFarland, has just given the world an infinitely higher and more equitable type ol conjugal ven geance than be. This Lusi anian Othello, D’ Aveira by name, a man ot excellent social po sition, was married to a young Brazilian beauty only nineteen years old, whom he is described as loving with a fervor usual, perhaps, with hus bands in Lisbon. It is the lrequent late of hus bands marrjed to charming young ladies of nine teen to possess iniima e friends ol their own Bex who tully appreciate tbe fascinations of their wives. Senhor D’Aveira had not escaped this fate. His intimate friend was a certain Senhor Garrett, a conspicuous member of Lisbon society, and a man ot letters alike in public and private. The Paris Figaro, iu commenting upon the ap pearance ol Lord Cole as a correspondent in the recent Mordaunt case in London, oddly mistook the meaning ot the phrase, and pointed out. to the amazement of all Frenchmen, that puritan ical severity of British morals which makes “ correspondence ” on tbe part of a married wo man with any man but lier husband a criminal offense Not even in England is “ correspon dence ” iu such circumstances as yet a crime. But iu aud out ot England it is worse than a crime—lor it is a blunder. So it proved in Por tugal. The husbands ol Senhnra D’Aveira discovered his wile’s correspondence with his friend Gar rett, forced trom her a lull aud l&lal confession* of all that he most dreaded yet was most deter mined to hear, and thereupon proceeded—to murder the guilty lovu - ? Not at ail. His first act was to put to death bis wile, which he did in the most considerate possible way, first stupe- lying her with chlorolorm, and then strangling her with his hands Othello would doubtless have done as much hadamesthetics been known iu bis time, lor his use ol the holster was clearly innnded to have the same effect on Desdemona which chloroform had on Sen bora D’Aveira. The ladv once out ol the way, her lord sent word to the lalse friend that he longed to send him alter his paramour. Henlror Garrett, struck with horror and remorse, refused point blank to meet his injured friend in the way “ cus tomary among genllemeu.” He informed Sen hor D’ rveira, however that on a given day, at a given time, he shoml leave Lisbon forever ' by the train to Paris, anti that if Seulior D’Aveira designed to shoot him an opportunity would then offer. This magnan imity had its effect. . Instead of repairing with a revolver to the railway station and blowing out the brains ot Garrett, D’Aveira got into a cab, went lo the police office, anil gave himself up as the murderer of his wile. Tbe murdered iady was buried atuid the tears and flowers of the capital. The murderer lies in jail awaiting his tn&l. The self-exiled lover has gone to France to enter aTrappist monastery, where he will divide his time between digging bis own grave and praying for pardon, and where he will only be allowed to speak with his lellow- creatures once a week, ou Thursdays, and then tor the cheerful pnrpose of bidding them “remem ber death.” Here are all the materials ot a genu me tragedy; but it is not upon the literary or the sentimental aspects of the case that we just now care to dwelL What we desire to insist upon is the dignity and the logic of these proceedings of the Portuguese husband as compared with the low, seitisi*, aud cowardly conduct of die slayer ot Richardson. Tbe suffering which alouecan excuse a man for taking tbe life of the man who has iufl cied it upon him should be so intense us u* u.ukr li*«- unendurable by the snflerer himse I D Av.- ia, m >i»rr< nd.-ring bimsell to justice, courts tt*e ilea h \\i>ch McFarland so eagerly sought to e?ras~- In kiiling Richardson rather than his wile, McFar land insulted the latter by the implication that, though she had betrayed him, it was only be cause she was the tool of a superior nature.— The Portuguese gentleman exhibited a much finer feeling of respect for the capacity aDd the responsibility ot woman. Nor esn the behavior of the paramour, Garrett, be pro nounced other than delicate aud refined. The whole story, in short, reveals & social order so much superior to that hot and hugger-mugger- in s incoherence of the conjugal system which was exhibited to us by the history ot Richard son and the McFaiLnds, and applauded by the Beechers and the Froth i oghams, that one is tempted to hope Portugal may give herself the trouble of seeding out to ns a missionary enter prise tor the reform of Boston matrimony and Indiana divorces.—New York World. iroMiith. We only occasionally now see notices of this remarkable Hungarian, who, years ago, drew the attention of every European nation to his movements, and was received and treated by the people of this country and its government with the most distinguished consideration. Soon after his return from America to Europe, his star began to wane, and the latest heard of him is that he is giving lessons in foreign lan guges in Turin in^r.rer to make a living, steadily nefusiiig to ^cnc^t auy prcscrets or aid from friends, resolutely bent upon earning his own living. In doing so, he will achieve an act more entitling him to have his name inscribed upon the roll of fame, than any other of his eventful life. Manufactures, South and North. An article in De Bow's Review contains a few figures which show the loss suffered by the cotton-growing States in sending their raw cotton to foreign mills to be manufactured. Of 2,392,254 hales, one and a halt millions are said to have been exported to foreign countries. Northern mills spun 767,512 bales, or 32 per cent., and Southern mills 64 998 bales, or about 2$ per cent. The Review says: “When we re flect on the immense addition to the value ot onr crop to be imparted by the employment of machinery abd labor, we really deem it a sub ject of paramount importance to every states man." t Cotton Estimates. Estimates of the coming cotton crop have al ready been made, even before the first bloom has made its appearance. The highest estimate is tour million bales—the lowest three and a half millions. The Dumber ol caterpillars and boll-worms, frosts and heavy rains, (it is we’l said by the Nashville Union & American,) are not estimated. A Horrible Crime—Retributive Justice. We are informed that a horrible crime was com mitted by a negro man upon tbe person of a lady named Mrs. Newman, in the neighborhood of Greenville, Kentucky.ou last Friday. In the inornmg the lady told her husband that she and her son were going to spend the day at a neigh bor’s bouse, and it they did not return that night he need not leel uneasy. Between her own and her neighbor’s l&rm she was met by the negro, who violated her person, then murdered her and her son. The next morning the husband started to his neighbor’s farm to escort his wife and son home, aud found them on the roadaide brutally murdered. The news soon spread—men col lected—investigated the matter, and soon were satisfied as to who was the guilty wretch. He was arrested that day and made a lull confes sion ot his guilt. WKilsi in the hands of an of ficer he was taken possession of by the excited populace, who at once decided to smear him with tar and burn him at the stake; but whilst the party appointed to precure the tar was gone, the populace became impatient and hung the negro to the tree until he was dead. His head was then severed lioui the body and posted in the Public Square ot Greenville, ou a stake set iu the ground iu front of the court-house, and no one was allowed to remove it. The leaders o! the populace are said t<> be Radicals; so the Radical papers cannot raise a howl this time in relation lo one ot tlu-ir party being murdered by Southern Ku Kiux! As tor us, we care not who were the leaders, they did a deed that de serves commendation. Let summary justice be inflicted in aii such cases, before tney gi t into the hands ol the lawyers.—liussdloiile (Kg) Herald. Carl Benson sums up the woman's rights question ponderously anil learned, thus : ■ It is not that Woman ' has not ryous enough, or that she has not the precise combination of nous and epistrme requisite to form sophia, since tor our purpose, nothing so high as sophia is needed; it is rather that she lacks phronesis." This suggests a reminiscence ot Douglas Jer- rold, who, walking with a literary chum in Bil lingsgate fish-market one day, intimated his de termination to vanquish, in a battle of words, the first fish-woman he encountered. Accord ingly he opened fiie on oneot these viragoes, by declaring her fish was tainted, which provoked upon his devoted head a shower ot the nc-st un refined obscenity of that classic quarter.

STATE NEWS. Amalgamation—Our community was thrown into a perfect whirl of excitement yesterday by the marriage ot a young white man named Jno. Noble to a negro woman named Amanda Par ker, by E. B. Rucker, pastor ol the colored Baptist church of this city. It seems the par ties came from Alabama, procured a license in this county, and proceeded with U.e ceremony. The news got in circulation, and daring the afternoon a warrant was issued and the parties taken before Justice Shivers, where the man and bride were bound over in the sum of $500, and in default were sent to' the guard-house. The officiating clergyman was put under bond ol $200, and in default most go to jail. We presume the Grand Juiy will take cognizance ot the case to day.

These speculations differ iu most cases as widely as the papers do in politics that pub* lish them. Tbe last which we notice is from the New York Express,vrbieh says: “The House (Georgia) Re construction Mil, ready to be re ported at tbe first opportunity, goes even tar ahead of the Bingham amendment. It is spe cially provided (herein that a new election in the State shall be held tbe coming iall, as is provi ded in the Stale Constitution. Tbe bill difiers in all its essential features from the Senate bill, which was some time Bince passed by that body i i such an incongruous shape after a protracted debate. It is gravely apprehended that the present status of the question, and the seeming incompatibility ot views in Congress, will, alter all, put off an adjustment ot Qeorgia till the next session. We are not sure that this is to be regretted. The present condition of Qeorgia is bad enough, and any additional radical legisla tion cau only have the effect to aggravate her sufferings.” II Georgia is to be “ left out in the cold ” by Congress till the nfext session, and we coulees appearances seem to favor that conclusion, then Qeorgia will be left in a condition approaching as near to anarchy as any State ever was, and her prosperity const qucnlly retarded for yet another indt finite period. As it is, the administration oi her civil establishment has received a check which materially aflects both public and private inter* sis, and which her people earnestly wish re moved by some prompt aud definite action of Congress. We have looked earnestly lor this, but in vain, for a month past. One day’s tele graphic dispatch during that period guve us hope that some bill would be reported and promptly acted upon by which the State would be reconstructed and restored to the Uniou, to be followed on the next by another full ot dis appointment to that hope. We have some id* a “ down ” here in Georgia, that she is of some consequence to the Union ; that but few of tbe States excel her in resources or productions; that, when restored to the Union, she will bear allegiance to it t and that her people will not again attempt its disruption they having honestly resolved to accept the political situation ” as it is, having been vanquished in the late effoit they made to maintain the an cient order of things in the State. But Con gress does not seem to think as we do, it the impression be correct that it will postpone ac tion upon her reconstruction beyond tbe present session. Well, be it so I With neither the will nor the power to resist what Congress may do in the premises, Georgia most bide her time, and wait tbe pleasure of her masters, till she be comes one and tbe equal of ail the other States. Till then, let her people bear patiently and re signedly whatever inflictions may be put upon them. t’sriBnvUl* aud Van Wert Haitroaa Company.

The last Legislature made him an appropriation of $20'J per mouth lot ten years, but the Governor pocketed the hiH, and it did not become a law.

As Mad as March Hares. The following remonstianc *, from the- Hunts ville Democrat, is just and timely, but we fear that it will have no better effect than similar appeals which have’ beeu ao earnestly made, di late throughout tbe Southern press: Just to think oi such a price for com in tho county ot Madison, where we have known, years ago, corn to be so abundant as to go begging a! fifty cents a barrel, at points eighteen or twenty miles from Huntsville. Planters, many of them, in ottr county, are actually compelled to buy corn now at $i 50 per bushel, or $7 50 per bar rel f And yet, we learn that our planters are cultivating more cotton this year than they did last year, and are oot making even a propor tional increase in the area planted. About half past 4 o’clock Sub day morning, Mr. Robert I. Caughey, a guest oi !be M»rehall House, and a well-known cotton merchant of Savannah, was found lying in tbe hotel yard, grroaoiog, with a large cut over his forehead and his left leg broken. Medical aid was summoned and his wounds were dressed, and the sufferer was removed to his room, where he died in about an hour after he was discovered. The base of his skull was fractured. The deceased had been laboring under strong mental excite ment on Saturday evening, and had procured a nervine with which to quiet his nerves on Satur day night, and was in bed at 12 o’clock Saturday night, not under the influence ot liquor. The coroner’s jury, after hearing evidence, found that the deceased had come to his death b*' fall ing, accidentally, out of his room window in the Marshall House, while laboring under tem porary aberration of mind, caused by extreme nervous excitement. He was a native ot Belfast, Ireland, but tor twenty years had resided in Savannah, engaged as a cotton buyer.—Augusta paper.

Kenan, in this, wc are pained to announce his death on the 1st inst., between 10 and 12 o'clock at night. His disease was inflammation oi Ihe bowels. Aged 65 years. In the death of CoL Kenan, our city ba9 lost an able and influential citizen ; a man of mark, and great lorce of character. Nature had done much for him both as regards a hand some person, and a fine and brilliant mind. He had the great gilt and faculty ol impressing any one favorably upon first sight, and when he so willed, could make himself the most agreeable ot companions. With fine conversational pow ers his company was ever sought, and there was a playfulness, humor, and bonhommic about him, that wa9 really inviting. Yet, like other meu, he had his faults, and was impatient ot contradiction or opposition; was ambitious of office and honors and illy brooked opposition when it inteiferred with bis plans, desires or measures. Such, however, is generally charac teristic of all men of decided characters. How ever, within tbe past tew 3 earn bis character in tliis icspict became gnatly modified. As a lawyer, be stood high, especially as a criminal one, and was in bis true mental ele ment on such occasions, as he was master of feeling, pathos or passion as tbe case demanded. Long will his memory live among the legal brethren among whom be a sociated, and in the counties in which he practiced. As a legislator, he had a clear and discrimi nating mind, and was a tactician of no ordinary ability; in iact, be had but few, if any, supe riors. He has Berved his county in the Legisla ture a number of years, and was, during the late war, a member of tbe Confederate Congress, and enjoyed the confidence and respect of Mr. Davis. He held, in early life, several important positions, and filled them with marked ability. As there will be a tribute to his memory by his brethren of the Bar, we do not deem it necessary to elaborate his character and services more fully. It may be gratifying to his old IrieDds through out the State, and to his immediate friends, to know, that tor the last two years he had given the subject of religion prayerful thought, and made no disguise ol the fact, that he rested his hopes of eternal life upon the merits ot a cruci fied Savior. He was fully aware of bis condi tion and felt no alarm at his approaching disso lution. Tbe Rev. D. E. Butler, of Augusta, preached his funeral sermon, and business was suspended in the city during the s* rvices.

The Canada papers are discussing the ques- sion whether the Fenian General, O’Neill, can be extradited for “ an assault with an attempt to kill,” one of the crimes specified in the extra dition treaty. The Toronto Leader concludes that, as the offense was not committed on Can adian soil, O’Neill having been arrested before crossing tbe line, “ it wonld be alike useless and impolitic to demand his extradition.” The Leader says, however: “ Did we have him in ‘ durance vile ’ there would be no disposition to deal leniently with tbe rascal. He would get his deserts.” It ie fortunate tor O’Neill that he was captured by the United States Marshal in stead of the British troops. Washington Correspondence New York San. A AVralliy Envoy. A curious incideut has leaked from ihe State Department, a very leaky vessel in essentials, though so mysteriously and solemnly reticent iu small particulars. Shoiily after a very objec tionable speech iron* the lion. William Mun- f en, of Ohio, on Cuban affairs, Baron Charles *ederer, the Austrian Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, visited the Secretary ot State, with the speech aforesaid in hand. The interview is thus narrated: The Baron called the attention of Mr. Fish to it, and said that he had come on behalf ol his Government to ask explanation and satisfaction from the Government ot the United Slates. “This,” he said, “ is not the mere production of your newspaper canaille, but it comes irom a member of Congress, and is published in the Government organ, the Globe." The Baron wished to know whether catego rically or otherwise. Mr. Fish declared (and no doubt with unusual sincerity) that he did not subscribe to any part of it; and furthermore was willing to concede that the speech was an outrage and Mungen a nuisance ; nay, he would even agree with the Baron that both the press and Congress were nuisances. But what could be done in the premises ? Mungen had abused him. “ Never mind flat,” said the Baron; “I would not even mind it if he abused me ; but it is my Government he insults, and I den feel it here,” striking his left breast. But, Baron, he has abused the British gov- ment, and the Russian, and Ihe Spauish, aud the United States government.” Yes; but I am not de keeper of (he honneur ol zese, but it is for the insult to the Empereur I demand reparation.” My dear Baron,” replied the Secretary, “ I really cannot make this an international ques tion. I deeply regret that we have no power to punish this exasperating man. Our laws, un fortunately, do not permit it. Look, he’ ha3 abused even our own President.” Ware dat ?” asked the Baron. “ No, lie call him gifted President; mean genius, talent; flat ter him, abuse everybody and all governments else.” Not” ejaculated Mr. Fish, “he meant fo in sult the President; he told a falsehood when he said the President was gifted.” “ What,” asked the puzzled Baron. “ He say what not true when he called the President gifted? Weill ma foi! Zougb you and 1, Monsieur Fish, know dat he is not very bright, you his minister might have let him pass’dat leetle compliment. ’But il he abuse do Presi dent and you have to suffer dat, 1 have uo more to say.

It appears that two neighboring boys, named Anderson aud Whisenhunt, were engaged, ou tbe day above named, iu playing the game or marbles, when a dispute arose between them in regard to the game. From high words the difficulty came to blows, when young Ander son gave way, and retreated a short distance, pursued by his antagonist. Placing himself on the defensive, be drew his penknile, and as young Whisenhunt advanced upon him he struck a blow will* the knife which severed (he jugular vein in his neck, causing immediate death. Our correspondent (a minister of the Gospel) adds: “It is tbe general opinion that young Ander son wa9 hot so much in fault; but the terrible and fatal result is an awlul and nover-to be for gotten warning to Sabbath breakers. Let pa rents, who have the welfare aud eternal happi ness of their children at heart, heed it. See to it that yon inculcate in their youthful minds a proper reverence for that sacred command: ■Remember the Sabbith day to keep it holy.’ ”— Jonesboro (Tenn.) Uuion Flag, 3d. Who Kn.T.itn General Zollicoffer ? —The generally accepted opinion has been that it was CoL Fry, of tbe fourth Kentucky, who killed Gen. Zollicoffer at Mill Spring. It i3 now claimed that Fry was credited with a feat that was performod by a private soldier in his regi ment. The Stanford (Ky) Dispatch details the story of how General Zollicoffer was killed and says the fatal bullet was fired by a young man named Chrisman, who was a member of Fry’s regiment. That paper says that after the war young Uhrisman brooded over the act until his friends began to apprehend danger of insanity, and adds: The reflection that he had killed a human being, who, at tbe time, could have been made a prisoner by the mere stretching forth of hi9 hand, who was powerless to do him any in jury, so'wrought upon his conscience—preyed, as it were, upon the vitals of his mind—that he finally sank, and, it is feared, into hopeless in sanity. A lew days ago a writ was awarded against him by the Judge ot Wayne County Court, when the foregoing facts were elicited which his dejected and forlorn condition of in sanity folly established, and he wa3 sent, lor more skUllhl treatment, to the lunatic asylum, at Hopkinsville.—Nashville Union <Sc American.
