named John F. Morton, Michael Morton,
Cokely, and a German named Her
man Tilguer, were killed by a party of
Mexicans. On the 13th, at Cayman Lake,
thirty miles northwest of Corpus Christi,
three Hexioane were found hanging to a
tree, and “it is not supposed they banged
themselves." Other cases of single hom
icide are also reported.
Tan New York Tribune says: If Mr.
Oakes Ames,deceased, had gone on making
shovels, Instead of meddling with Mobi-
Her, he might have been living now and
honored, and hie estate might have been
solvent, which, we regret, for the sake of
his creditors, it turns out not be. Com
missioners have been appointed, and the
usual statement is made that, all in good
‘time, everybody will be paid in foil.
This may or may not be, for the expense
of settling an insolvent estate is usually
very large, and too many of the Ames as
sets are in Western and Southern bonds
and stocks, not very marketable now, and
exceedingly in want, so far as par is oou-
oerned, of higher quotation. •
TBUL OP GRANT PARINn PRIM-
ONE RU.
The second trial of the Graut Parish
prisoners has been commenced at New
Orleans, in the United Staten Circuit
Court, Judges Bradley and Woods presid
ing. The prisoners are eight in number,
all whites; the witnesses for the prosecu
tion are nearly ell negroes, and very nu
merous. The preliminary array and rul
ings look very unfavorable for the pris
oners. Their counsel objeoted to the
array of the jury—1st, beoause they were
not all registered voters, as roquired by
the law of Louisiana; 2d, that they had
not been drawn ten days before the term
of the court, ss required by the rule; 3d,
that they hod been cbosen with special
reference to distinctions of raoe, os for
bidden by ah set of Congress. Mr. Whita
ker said that out of 200 jurorssummoned,
190 were negroes. The Oonrt overruled
the first two objections, and admitted
evidence on the last, stating, however,
that no offloer of the court would be re
quired to eriminate himself. The. Clerk
of the court then testified that be knew
that the white registered voters of New
Orleans far outnumbered the colored;
that in forming tlib jury the whites had
at first outnumbered the negroes by fif.
teen or twenty, but “afterwards these had
been lopped off and negroes substituted."
The difference between Mr. Whitaker's
statement of the proportions of the raoes
on the jury and the Clerk's seems to be
founded on their different ideas as to
what admixture of blood mokes a per.
eon of color.
Mr. Whitaker asked that every one of
the jnrors called be asked to asy whether
be was a negro or not; but this propoal
tion was not aooepted. Finally, the
Court overrated tbs third point and the
whole challenge of the jury. The jury
were then called, a large majority being
' negroes; and as far as the selection had
progressed on Monday, four white and
three colored jurors had been chosen.
—The Atlanta correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle writes: “It is said
with a great degree of probability that
several failures will occur in this oity be
fore a great while among young mer
chants. money is very coerce, and it iB
bsHewed that the business community is
mors critically situated than it was during
the financial crisis last fall.
oonatry would be infinitely better off to
day. The close of the contest between
the veterans of both sections was but the
signal for that larger, more ruinous, and
mote ignoble strife, which the polltteiaao
initiated under the plea of national recon
struction. Hod Lincoln lived, we would
have hoped for better things—and with
reason—but ha died, and the spirit that
bad iofused his eause with the broad
spirit of humanity was lost, leaving the
bitter end prejudiced who had viewed
the struggle ‘from afar to Annie in
and weave ekaekles for tb^raelpleaa
Southern giant whose veins were drained
and whose strength was gone. The story
of those reconstruction days are the
darkest in tbs history ofHhe war, which
was cruelly prolonged when there wee no
power to resist, which is indeed still pro
longed under the sanction of an adminis
tration whioh we hoped to respect, and
whoaa inevitable mistakes we were pre
pared to look on with charity. But we
contemplated no mistakes that would taka
the semblance of outrages sgaioet justice
and humanity. Yet the errors into which
this ill-advised administration has fallen
oannot be attoned for in our day, and
their reoords will be the ineffaceable stain
on the escutcheon of the dominant party.
It may be well to give out the watchword
of “Let ns have peace." But it is an in
sult when those who shout it most heartily
are busy the while in spread,
mg contention and strife, while
they rob the people who they olaim are
not qualified to eare for themselves. Let
General Grant aome South; he has been
invited, and the invitation was meant in
good faith; but let him come still, and
take Booth Carolina on bis way. Virginia
has her battle-fields, her dead and ruined
homes; but nnder the shadow of the Ospi.
tol she has dared to rule herself, and has
been able to struggle up. North Carolina
has escaped, but in a less degree, and her
condition would be gloomy indeed were
it not contrasted with that State to the
South, which the politicians have delight
ed to oonsider the soape goat of the dead
Confederacy. South Carolina, like
city captured aftor a fierce strog.
gle by the Goths, has been giv.
eu over to sack and plunder. Igno
rant, unprincipled adventurers from the
North, with pliant tools in the freedmen,
who meant to do right if left to them
selves, have bound her; and this by men
who never opposed her when her sword
was drawn, and who now like vampires suck
her soanty life blood, and hypothecate her
skeleton that they may grow fat. In vain
do the tax-payers appeal, in vain does the
independent press cry for juatioe ; the
Administration oan acknowledge no wrong
in the States that sustain it, and prostrate
South Carolina is too weak to call again
for aid.
Alabama is no longer a place of rest.
Northern adventurers are there supple,
mented by the renegade sons of the
South, and united for plunder, they rob
the Commonwealth while they shout

now by the blood spilled and the crimes
committed in the suicidal struggles for

But pass all the States by—God knows
the best of them is none too wall off
end look at Louisiana now; and look back
at the twelve long dreary years of her
terrible Buffering, and the bitterest oppo
nent of secession will turn in horror from
the story of her wrongs, feeliug they
have far exoeeded the demands of retrib
utive justioe. It was not enough that
New Orleans—the Qneen of the Missis
sippi—should fall early into the hands of
the Federal foroes; that for three years
her tributary rivers should be filled with
warlike flotillas; that the happy homes
of the onoe prosperous Btate should be
given to pillage and the torch, and
the Boil be . reddened with the
blood of the bravest. All this she
(Louisiana) expected; for all this
dared when she seoeded. But
when that prayed for peaoo came—
when Federal and Confederate, forgetting
the battles of the past and the results of
the oonfliot, thanked Heaven that the
strife was over and hastened to their
homes—then distracted Louisiana might
well expeot peace. She did expect it,
little thinking that the most terrible or
deal lay before her. l‘eaee found her
impoverished but hopeful; t-nd the peo
ple, rejoicing that the struggle was over,
and that there was nothing more to lose,
turned to build up again the Orescent
Oity and the Pelican State. But there
was more to lose, and the vultures de
scended on the famished body to drain
its remaining vitality and bind
the skeleton in the chains of
debt. Beady, but thonghtless, tools
were to hand in the the enfranchised
colored people—who, if left to them
selves, could have been made good and
useful citizens. The plague has come
and gone, like the war, leaving its treok
curse of the Mate raiesa ef Louisiana.

THE PEERS CONTENTION.
Those proprietors and editors of the
Georgia Press who attended the Conven
tion at Maoon this week had a most hos
pitable reception and a very enjoyable
time. The only matter of regret is that
more of them did not attend, and thus
give to these meetings the fall represen
tative and sooiel character, without which
they cannot accomplish much good. The
citizens of Maoon accorded them a cor
dial and generous welcome and the “free
dom” of places most attractive or inter
esting; and the energetic and public-
spirited Mayor Huff—who compresses
into a small spaee more vim, enterprise
and taste than almost any other man in
the State—extended to them a prinoely
greeting and entertainment. Long will
the “press gang” praserve a lively and
pleasing recollection of the hospitality
and generosity of Maoon and her oiti-
xens.
Twenty-four papers were represented
on the first day. A resolution to “let up”
in the condemnation of “patent outsides”
met such general opposition that the
mover withdrew it, and members of tbs
Association were reminded of their obli
gation not to recognise or exchange with
papers using sooh outsides. Members
were also admonished to adhere to the
rates of legal advertising as prescribed by
the law of the Association.
In the afternoon, a number of carriages
were provided by Mayor Huff, and in
these the members of the Aasooiation
were treated to a ride through the. most
attractive portions of the city. Among
other places whioh they visited was the
Georgia Academy for the Blind, in ac
cordance with an invitation of the Princi
pal, where they were muoh entertained
and edified by the exgrdaes.
On Wednesday several more members
appeared. Moat of the business meeting
of this day was devoted to the organiza
tion and affairs of the Assooiatjpn,
which would not interest the publio.
The committee appointed last year to
correspond in reference to the getting up
of a National Press Convention, reported
a general response favorable to the prop
osition; but as it was evident to the
members of the Association that the
press of other portions of the oountry
are not urging it with any earnestness or
zeal, and os the correspondence involves
considerable expense, the Press Associa
tion of Georgia merely re-affirmed its de
sire to get np suoh a Convention, and in
structed the committee to oease for the
present aotive work, in that behalf. The
annual election of officers was held, and
Mr. J. U. Estill, of the Savannah Neue,
waa by acclamation unanimously re
elected President. Col. Carey W. Styles
declined a re-election as Vice President,
end Mr. M. Dwinell, of the Borne
Courier, was by aoelamstion elected 1st
Vies President. In the same manner,
Mr. S. B. Barr, of the Maoon Star, was
eleoted Secretary, and Mr. Weston, of
the Dawson Journal, Treasurer. The
Convention adjourned to meet next May
in Athens.
The festivities of the day wound up
with a banquet or dinner at the Brown
House, in the afternoon. This, too, was
superintended by Mayor Huff, and, like
everything that he undertakes, it was a
splendid success. Tbe oountry does not
afford the material fur a better table, and
wine, wit and sentiment abounded. Our
Maoon fi lends gave us as good reason to
admire their exoellent taste and liberal
hospitality as to do justioe to the sump
tuous fare that attested it.
Those of the members who eould re
main attended, by invitation, tbe leoture

Desiring above all things unity of ao-

approaching elections, and knowiag the
great importance of harmony in, onr
ranks, I have determined, with a view to
these desirable ends, to call together the
Executive Committee of the Democratic

is desired that no notion looking to nomi

W« travelled the South western Bail'

last year, and it wya ou tbe 19th of May.
Wa therefore have a dietinot recolleotiou
of tbs atate of forwardness and general
appearanas of tbs crop, along the road at
that particular date. It oa happened that
we travelled tbe same road on tbe 19th of
May, for the flrst time this year, and ibis
coincidence gave ns a good opportunity to
note tbs difference in the seasons. The
crops of both corn and cotton this year
ars certainly considerably behind those
of last year in the matter of forwardness.
As far as we oonld judge, tbs stands of
this year era also inferior. We believe,
however, that there hae really been a
greater proportion of corn end small
grain planted this season.
