Increased Compensation of City Of
ficers and Employees.— At the meeting
of the City Council, on Friday night, that
body very wisely and justly decided to
increase the compensation of city officers
and employees. The justice of this move
ment on the part of the City Council will
not fail to meet the approval of all liberal
minded citizens. It is no part of a wise
and true economy to shave the salaries of
city officials below the standard of ade
quate compensation for the laoors which
they are expected to perform, aud the re
sponsibility entailed upon them. Asa
general proposition, the better paid officials
are far the cheapest in the end. To men of
the right stamp, liberal compensation ope
rates as a stimulus to efficiency. Though
an exception to the general rule, the pres
ent. City Council have been enabled to re
tain iu several departments ol' the city
government men of experience, sagacity
and efficiency, on low salaries—the pay in
some instances falling below the require
ments of a decent living. These men, sen
sible of the financial embarrassments of
the city, have contentedly and faithfully
discharged the duties devolving upon them,
trusting to the liberality of the City Coun
cil for an increase, whenever, in its judg
ment., such increased compensation could
be given without detriment to the in
terests of the city. Now that mon
etary matters have been so engineer
ed as to place the city in a position
to make the advance requisite, we are
gratified that the City Council have signi
fied their intention of consummating a
purpose which several of the memliers have
had in view for a length of time, whenever
they were assured that this increase would
not consist alone of a promise to pay that
which the resources at command failed to
justify. No possible good could have been
effected by golden promises and copper per
formances.
We hope that the Mayor anil Finance
Committee may be governed by the broad
est possible liberality in determining the
amounts to be added to the respective
salaries—especially in the police depart
ment. The chief aim to be subserved in
making this increase, should be the eleva
tion of the occupation to a standard which
will command the services of men of char
acter, judgment, and ripe experience. The
addition of two or three dollars per month
to the present insufficient rates of compen
sation, will be of but small encouragement
and reward to those already in service, and
will in no wise operate as an inducement,
in case of changes, to command the ser
vices of that class of men to which we have
referred.
Sharp Stealing. —A iew days ago some
light-fingered sharper abstracted a couple
of axes from a boat belonging to Mr. J. T.
Hungerford. The axes were found in the
possession of a negro drayman, Ben Coop
er, on Friday, lie was endeavoring to
sell them, and accounted for their posses
sion by claiming that he had taken them
for debt from a negro woman, Sylvia Har
ris, employed on the boat. The.latter was
brought before Justice Ells, yesterday
morning, on charge of larceny of the
axes. An investigation resulted in the ac
quittal of the woman. A warrant was
then sued out against Ben Cooper, in
whose possession the axes were found, and
who wiw the principal witness against the
defendant to the first trial. He was found
guilty, and sentenced to twelve mouths on
the public works. “Sharp, short and de
cisive.”

The Exiled Sheriff of Warren
County Returns and Claims, his Office.
—From a reliable correspondent in War
renton, we learn that the self-expatriated
sheriff of Warren county has, by and with
the consent of Governor Bullock, returned
to Warrenton, backed.by General Terry’s
military, to claim the office which he so ig*
nominiously abandoned a few months
since. Os the scene, our correspondent
writes:
“ Old Warren county has been reinstated
in the Union, at least one would surmise
as much from “appearances.” J. C. (‘Chap’)
• Norris, the party who forfeited the office of
sheriff, and who has been remaining in At
lanta since, returned yesterday. He was
escorted by a colonel and twenty men, and
took up his quarters with the military
during the day. Last night he visited his
house, being guarded by twenty men, and
remained till this morning, when he mar
shaled his troops and returned to camp.
“It would have excited your facial or
gans to an unlimited degree of risibility to
have witnessed this grand and imposing
display of Imperialism in the Republican
county of Warren. The venerable ex-
High Sheriff, with an immense cane in
hand, aud with the air of one who comes
to conquer, took position twenty yards in
front of his escort, waved his baton, and
the procession moved off.
“ It is impossible for me to give any
thing like a description of this ridiculous
affair, and will trust to your imagination
more than fny ability.
“ Governor Bullock has written to Maj.
Van Voast, that Norris is entitled to the
office of sheriff, but the law and people say
otherwise; therefore, Mr. B.’s letter will
not accomplish much.
“The military examined the record con
cerning the appointment of Mr. Raley
(Norris’ successor), and, up to last night,
were of opinion that Norris could not be
reinstated—at least they so expressed.
“ We expect some lively times here dur
ing the day—that is, pulling among the
lawyers.
“ Bullock’s object in sending Norris here,
is plain, and seeing it we hope to defeat
him.
“ They can’t knock the pegs from under
civil law in Warren, unless they can get
Norris back. Ouce reinstated, he would
declare himself unable to execute the law,
and % call on the military for assistance.—
Securing that (which he undoubtedly
would) an indiscriminate arrest would fol
low.
“This is a grand move on t,lie part of
Bullock, Norris and the Radicals, but it is
too near the surface to succeed.”
Up to the closing of the mail yesterday
morning, at 9 o’clock, no other develop
ments had taken place. There was an un
reliable rumor that a squad of soldiers
were to visit the Adkius neighborhood
yesterday, for the purpose of making some
arrests.
Behavior of Cnußcn Choirs.— lt is a
well observed truth that church choirs are
rarely painfully devout in their religious
devotions. The Courier-Journal thus raci
ly shows up a few of the prevalent cus
toms practiced by these orgiiftizations :
“ The unseemly behavior of choirs lias
been an old subject of remark. It is as
tonishing how soon the devil gets into the
best of folks when they are organized into
a choir. Still there is some excuse for
quartette singers, for they do not pretend
to come to church to worship, but to lie
worshipped. In a church in a remote city,
the leader of the choir reads the Sunday
Times or Tribune. during tiie sermon time.
With an amount of cheek truly sublime,
he sits upon his chair, in plain view of the
expounding preacher, his feet comfortably
perched upon the gallery vail, and in this
edifying way he unites “ business and re
ligion.” In another church it, was long the
custom for the bass and tenor to go
behind the organ to “kiss the book,” as
Trineulo lias it, until tlie sermon’s end
would often find them “indisposed,” and
unable to sing. The chosen piece would
then lie ('hanged for a duet for soprano and
alto. In another church the organist was
often knocked out or his closing voluntary
by the vigorous discussion of bonnets car
ried on at his elbow. In another case the
organist sometimes writes letters to friends,
and sometimes sits upon the door and
sleeps the sleep of the innocent, her head
comfortably pillowed on the leader’s shoul
der. At other times, these “two babes in
the wood” sit holding each other’s hands,
and so in mute sympathy beguile the tedi
ous hours. Iu another, the congregation
are wont to come and reverently bow their
heads in devotion, as a prepartiou for the
solemn service about to begin. The choir
come in smiling, sit gaily talking during
the opening voluntary of tlie organ, and
have, in general, an air quite removed from
painful devotion.”
Terrible Storm and Destruction of
Property. —A correspondent of the Co
lumbia (S. C.) Phcenix, writing from New
berry, informs that paper that a terri
ble rain and wind storm occurred in New
berry Wednesday afternoon, during which
several trees were blown down and houses
unroofed. The spire of the Lutheran
Church was struck by lightning and scat
tered in every direction. In fact, the
whole front of the church beneath the
steeple is a mass of ruins. The building is
totally unfit for use at present, and will re
quire extensive repairs. This storm is the
most severe one which has visited that sec
tion of country for many years.
Cotton Statement. —We give below
the statement of cotton on hand in Augusta
and Hamburg on May 31st, for the years
1850, 1860, 1868, and 186 ii, and also the
comparative receipts for those years:

Good Wheat. —Mr. James Warren has
laid on our tabic a sample of wheat grown
on his farm. The land upon which it was
grown is denominated as poor, but fer
tilized with cotton seed. The heads are
well develop'd and weighty, attesting the
value of Mr. Warren’s system of culture.
Bricklaying and Plastering. —Mr.
James Murphy is prepared to execute
faithfully anti promptly all orders for
brick work and plastering. Mr. M. has re
cently executed a job at this office; and we
commend him as a competent workman.
Sale Continued.— The auction sale of
China and Japanese wares will be contin
ued on Monday, at the auction house of
Messrs. Bignon & Crump. Some rare and
beautiful articles will be disposed of.
Pattern Sale. —Note the pattern sale
of dress goods, which commences at the
store of Messrs. James A. Gray & Cos. on
Monday morning. Prices have been re
duced, and bargains may be expected.
Carpentering. —Mr. Luke Rice Is pre
pared to do all kinds of carpenteringwork,
in good style, at short notice, and at rea
sonable rates. We have had recent occa
sion to judge of the character of the work
executed by Mr. Rice, and can recommend it.
Bathing Pool. —The Boisclair Pond,
about three miles and a half from the city,
on the old plank road, has been put in
complete order for bathing purposes. Just
the distance for an afternoon ride and
pleasant bath.

cept our ttanks for courtesies of late New
York papers.
Cheap Freights. —Bacon is brought
from St. Louis to Macon for 97 cents per
100 pounds; corn 32 cents per bushel, and
flour $1 15 per barrel.
The XlXth Century. —This % the.sig
nifleant and appropriate title of anew
monthly literary magazine, just issued iu
Charleston, the first number of which has
reached us. From a cursory glance at its
contents, we are persuaded to predict an
appreciative reception of this new candi
date from the reading public. It professes
to steer clear of politics, and to tjffe the
people a magazine representative of the
age. The initial number presents a-most
pleasing variety of matter, calculated to
instruct, amuse and entertain.
Aside from its more solid and instruct
ive articles on current literature, it pre
sents a bevy of highly humorous “ Sooty
graphs,” typical of the assembled wisdom
of the present legislators of South Caroli
na, drawn w'ith comic charcoal precision.
We cordially commend this periodical as
of fine conception as to the wants of the
people. It is under the management of
Mr. F. G. DeFontaine, so well and favora
bly remembered as the accomplished and
entertaining war correspondent, “Per
sonne.”
Fiendish Murder and Arson in South
Carolina.— The Pickens (S. C.) Courier
contains the following report of a recent
murder in Pickens county:
“Some time last week a murder was com
mitted, in the settlement known as Salu
brity, in Pickens county, which exceeds in
flendisliness and cowardice anything we
ever heard of. The barn and stables of a
Mr. Willard was discovered to be on fire
at a late hour at night, when he and a
man by tlie name of Rampey hastened to •
the conflagration, to arrest, if possible, the
devouring flames. Orr reaching the spot,
it was found that tlie Are had made sucli
headway that it could not be stopped, and
Willard and Rampey rushed in the stables
to rescue the horses and other stock, and
while thus engaged were fired upon by un
known persons without. Mr. Willard was
struck in the neck by a ball, which result
ed in his death in a few minutes. Rampey
was struck on the leg, causing a painful
wound. We arc not informed of any clue
as to who the perpetrators were.”
Challenge to Fire Companies. —The
following challenge to Are companies ap
pears in tlie New York Clipper , of the sth
instant:
“ New Orleans, La ., April 27, 1869.—At
the regular monthly meeting, held at the
hall of Mechanics’ Fire Company, No. 6,
it was unanimously resolved to challenge
any one named Are company in the United
States for $2,000 a side, on the following
conditions : Each company to have thirty
members, who will run one half mile on
any race track between New York city and
this city, with a hand engine, get ready
and throw water through 100 feet of hose
in the quickest time. All communications
to be addressed to Iloliert A. Diamond,

6, New Orleans, La.

“Committee of Challenge.—R. A. Dia

The Zeiglek Estate. —Mr. Wm.Zeigler,
a wealthy bachelor, died in this city in 1855,
and his remains were deposited in a hand
some vault in tlie Rose Hill Cemetery, bat
it was infamously and meanlv defaced and
desecrated by the Federal soldiers who en
tered the city about the time of the surren
der of Lee and Johnston. But to the estate
of Mr. Zeigler:
.We are informed that a mulatto woman,
whom he kept in life, and by whom he had
three daughters, returned to this city yes
terday morning,from near Cincinnati, with
her oldest daughter, aud claims, in accord
ance with Zeiglcr’s will, his estate, or at
le ist twenty thousand dollars apiece for the
three daughters. We understand, also, that
Air. Crutchfield is the guardian or trustee,
jfor the oldest daughter of Mr. Zeigler, and
that, he has within immediate reach $20,-
000 for her, if it shall be decided that she is
entitled to it..— Macon Telegraph.
The Blue Kidge Railroad. — The Wai
lialla (S. C.) Courier , of the 28th tilt., learns
from W. H. D. Gaillard, Superintendent of
the Blue Ridge Railroad that, on and after
Saturday, the sth of June, instant, the Blue
Ridge Railroad Company will take charge
of their road, an run daily trains from An
derson C. 11. to Walhaila.» The Courier
says: “We congratulate the company on
its resumption of operations, at the same
time we express the hope that it will be
able to keep up daily connections with the
Greenville and Columbia Railroad trains.
The prosperous condition of the road un
der its present management leads us to be
lieve that the road will pay handsomely in
the future, witli a like promptness on the
part of its officials and employees. Tri
weekly and semi-occasional trips, at irreg
ular intervals, will not pay.”
Talbot County Money. —We have seen
some of this money, and must say that it is
well gotten up. The vignette is beautiful,
and the general appearance of the bills
highly creditable to the designer, engraver,
and printer. A. W. Bethune, Esq., ordi
nary, we believe, is author of the design.
Only $5,000 were issued, in l’s, 2’s, and s’s.
The bills are signed on the right by B.
Curley, treasurer, and on the left by A. W.
Bethune, ordinary. They are redeemable
in currency on the Ist day of January, 1870,
and are also receivable in payment of all
taxes due the county. At present, they
pass quite freely at 25 per cent, discount.
[Talbotton Gazette, 3d.
Crops in Talbot. —From what we can
learn, the wheat crop of this county, says
the West Georgia Gazette, will lie unpreee
dently large. Some farmers have already
commenced harvesting. Corn, of which a
large quantity has been planted, is doing
well; and cotton, notwithstanding the eold
Spring, is making good headway under a
warm sun.
Dr. F. S. Lewie, charged with the homi
cide of Elliot Drafts, Esq, of Lexington
county, S. C., some days since, lias been
bailed by his Honor, Judge Boozer, in the
sum of $5,000 for his appearance at the
next term of the Court of General Sessions
for that county.
The Weather and Cross. —For several
days past the weather has been unusually
warm, and the growing crops have improv
ed greatly. Cotton was badly stunned by
the protracted cool, wet weather we have
had until within the past ten days, but it is
now looking well. The prospect for a
wheat crop is very good. We have lieai’d
but little complaint of its being injured
either by rust or fly in any locality. The
amount of corn planted seems to lie so
small that it does not elicit much comment.
[Elberton Gazette, 4th.
Crops. —Wheat, which is now ready for
the harvest, is decidedly good. There is
not, perhaps, as great an area sown as was
last year, but the yield is far better.
Com is doing finely. The stands are
generally good and crop flourishing, to the
entire satisfaction of farmers. Witli good
seasons we shall hope to see an abundant
yield. .
Crops were never in a better condition
as to tillage. The freed men are generally
behaving well, and everything looks hope
ful.—Hancock Journal, 4th.
New Wheat. —Fanners iu this section
are now busily engaged in cutting their
wheat. It is said to be of a very fair qual
ity, though we have not yet seen any in the
market. We learn that the first new wheat
of the season will be received to-day from
Gordon. It was purchased there for a gen
tleman of this city, at $1 75 per bushel
[Macon Telegraph.
Dodotng a Negro Postmaster. —lt is
said that the citizens of Cuthbert have or
dered their mail -stopped at Ward’s Sta
tion. They prefer to hire a boy to go after
it daily, than to have it pass through the
hands of the negro postmaster.

A Fish Story. —A note from Mr. J. M.
Clyatt, of Clyattville, informs us of a fish

WASHINGTON.
Washington, June s —Noon Presi
dent appointed Chas. R- Mobley, Attorney
for the Southern District of Florida; John
Lynch, Surveyor General of the District of
Louisiana.
Hoff reports from Matanzas, the 2ith,
that the feelings of animosity between the
volunteers and tlie Cuban element is much
less than he had been led to believe when
at Havana, on the 20th. A stranger would
not suspect a revolution to lie in progres
sion.
Lieut. Commander Eastinau reported that
the railway to Puerto Principle has been
repaired, and locomotive and freight cars
come down to Nuevitas at a slow rate,
taking three days to go forty-eight miles,
guarded by 2.000 men.
On the Bth or 10th of May, bands of in
surgents attacked the convoy of a train,
defeated them, destroyed the bridges built
by the Spaniards, and captured I'orty-tliree
officers and men, including a Colonel. This
is the only decided success the revolution
ists have lately had. The removal of Gen.
Lesca by tlie Governor, and the appoint
ment of General Letoua to succeed him
gave great dissatisfaction. In consequence
of the successful landing of expeditions in
the District of Guautaniinb and the defeat
of the Spaniards in the recent engagements
there, the insurgents had been greatly
strengthened and new life infused into it,
when, to all appearances, it was dying out
two weeks previously.

Charles Langston (colored) was appoint

In the case of James Weaver, a citizeu of
Texas, tried for murder, convicted and sent
enced to be hung, by a military commis
sion, the Attorney General has given an
opinion, in which he reviews tlie recon
struction laws and the duties of command
ing officers, and says: “As the State of
Texas had not, in September, 1868, and has
not since, adopted a constitution in con
formity with tlie provisions of the act of
Congress, and has not become entitled to
representation in Congress, the act was
operative in Texas at the time tlie military
commission was organized for the trial of
Weaver, and the commanding general ex
ercised the discretion entrusted to him by
tlie third section, by deciding that it
was necessary that a military commission
should be organized for the trial. If, there
fore, the statute of March 2, 1867, is a con
stitutional and valid statute, it then ap
[teal's that th© jurisdiction of the said mili
tary commission was complete and that
there is 110 legal obstacle to the execution
of the sentence.” The Attorney General
maintains that the right of w’ar did not
necessarily terminate with the cessation of
active and actual hostilities, and not until
the work of restoring tlie relations of peace
shall have been accomplished, can it lie
so considered. It is for Congress to deter
mine when the war lias so for ended that
the work can be safely and successfully
completed. The Attorney General sees no
reason in law for withholding the Presi.
dent’s approval of the findings. During his
argument, the Attorney General said: “It
is obvious that Congress, under the Con
stitution, has no right in time of peace, to
subject any citizen of a State to trial and
punishment by military power.”
