The above is a lie In the lirst place; and, secondly, it is a whole lie; while the third statement, Is nothing but a lie. The whole is the essence of contemptible malice, propped by unscrupulous mendacity. — ■ Tub Oovkhsobship in Obokoia.- The New York Herald say*: “It is re ported that Alexander H. Stephens thinks seriously of running as inde pendent candidate for Governor of Georgia this full. If lie does it. if pretty certain that lie will curry the State. The Democrats have at leust half a dozen candidates, most of them eminent men in the State, and each with a strong backing. The State is ho strongly Democratic that unless some man like Stephens or Governor Hrown runs on an independent ticket the Democratic nominee is sure of an election.” Neither Mr. Stephens nor ex-Gov ernor Brown stand uny chance to be elected to office by the white people of Georgia, and if they were elected by the negroes, led by carpet-bag gers and renegades, It would bo the most unfortunate act of their lives. Tlie people want their Governor to be like Caesar's wife, above suspicion, and whatever may have been tlie motives that actuated these two of Georgia’s ablest statesmen, their po litical conduct since tho war does not meet with popular sanction, while Governor Brown has rendered him self politically obnoxious to tho mass of our white citizens. Nihrr itf'Hiiiiiptlcn. The mints of the country uro pre paring to meet all demands for silver coin that may urise through tho sub stitution of coin for the present frac tional currency. The capacity of the mints at Philadelphia, San Francisco and Carson City will reach $4,000,000 for tho two months ending the 30th Instant. The Treasury how has $20,- 000,000 of silver, $4,000,000 of which are yet in tins form of bullion await ing to be coined. Gn the lirst of Au gust tho outstanding fractional cur rency was about $41,000,000, and this amount has boon reduced by destruc tion this months to $30,000,000. Ac exchange says: In beginning the redemption of fractional currency, it is understood tliut the intention of Secretary Bris tow Is to call in all denominations under llfty cents, which Includes, three, live, liftoeu and twenty-live cent notes issued since 1802, and which, it. is estimated, will require $2,000,000 of live, ten ami twenty-live cent suhsldary coin to provide for the teiii|M>rary hoarding and actual de mands of business. The fifty-oent notes will then be called in. It is computed that at tho present price of silver bullion, silver coins could lie kept in circulation when the price of gold does not exceed lit; that is, there would be no profit in meltiug down the coins and selling the silver if the premium on gold could be kept at or below eleven per cent. Mr. Bristow’s success depends on so managing the fiscal operations of the Government us to keep down the price of gold to thepointat which silver nan be kept in circulation. .. ..+ •——— Another supreme Court. The Columbus Timeh has the fol lowing : “That our Supreme Court Judges are overworked all will admit, kis equally certain that some remedy j should bo devised to correct the evil ' and to secure precedents useful and settled. Various plans have been proposed. We think an increase of salary will cure tho evil, but that three other Judges should be ap pointed and two courts formed, each having jurisdiction over a defined sec tion of the Slate, and both sitting at the capital. When u question of great importance arises, or doubts should arise in one of tho courts as to what the law is any particular case, a provision might be made for a conference of both courts, the oldest Chief Justice presiding. We believe tllia plan has worked well in Eng land, and suggest that it be adopted in Georgia, at least until the mass of business evolved by tho late war is disposed of, and re-re-recconstruc- j tion is complete. Something like this was done in New York just after the war and worked well, a Commission of Ap i>eals, or a second Supreme Court, having been authorized to bring up tho bock eases while the regular Court of Appeals wont on deciding the now eases as fast as they arose. The difficulty in Georgia is that an amendment of the Constitution would probably be necessary, and if so would take three or four years to perfect; but possibly the legislature might authorize anew court direct, ns the judicial power by the Constitution extends not only to the tribunals uuined in that instrument, hut “such other oourts as have been, or may be, established by law.” The main point Is, as the Turn well says, “to secure ; precedents useful and nettled," and if this valuable and all-important point of certainty and fixity in the deeis- i lons can be obtained by another Su preme Court, or Appeal Commission, the legislature might profitably heed our contemporary's suggestion. Ait- , <J>uta (.'iMoUU'dii/iinliet. — . The Columbus Times elaborately protravs the blighting effects of monopolies. It wants to save the city from becoming “a mere wav station” on tho Central railroad, which has grits put its railroad and river facilities, and holds the citv down by high freight tariffs. The remedy clearly lies iu a speedily ex tension of the North and South road to Atlanta, and wc hope the Times will aid us in pushing that very de sirable enterpslse.— Atlanta Conntttn t ion. | nr.Pi ni.it iMii iiviHKA tubTKx ts PACIFIC. [Washington Cor. Cincinnati Commercial, j One thing seems to he pretty well settled, and that Is that the Southern Pacific ltuilroud scheme will bo In dorsed by tho next Congress. Tom Scott and a few other Northern men, directors and promoters of tho pro ject, are to be dropped, and their places filled by strong representative Southern men, such as ex-Gov. Boriah Magoffin, of Kentucky. These men are to bo selected from North Caroli na, Georgia, Kentucky, Virginia, Al abama, Louisiana ami Texas, and will be of great Inllueneo among the new Congressmen from tho South. Tho House secured, tho next step will be to capture the Senate; but that will not he so difficult a job as might at first bo supposed. It, has come to be u common saying, never disputed hero, that “anything can be put through tho Senate.” There was some show of hesitation in the Sen ate with regard to the Tom Scott bill, lost winter, but it, was not genuine. Y'es; and there is another thing that should be “pretty well settled,” and that is, that no Southern Con gressman should, even for an instant, entertain any proposition looking to ward tho granting of any national aid to the Texas & Pacific Ituilway Com pany unless tho Board of Directors, President and Chief Engineer are men whoso t>ersonul character for honesty and integrity is above all re proach. No one who lias tho taint of tho “Credit Mobilier” corruption upon his garments is worthy to place in a position of such trust. We are not scctlonul in this mutter; for this is a great “national enter prise.” But we do demand and our Southern press will, we are sure, rally to our support in this that a very radical change must be effected in the Board of Directors, and that Col. Torn Scott, the President of the road, and Gen. B. M. Dodge, of “Credit Mobilier” fame, be retired. The po sitions of President and Chief Engi neer are too responsible ones not to be filled by tnon whom the whole country can bo well assured will make no improper use of their high offices. The position of tho Chief Engineer is especially one to bo filled by a most competent and honest man, us the estimates for work dono would he approved by him, and by collusion with the contractors, a vast amount of company money can bo so manip ulated as to pass into his pockets without suspicion attaching to him. Thousands of dollars wore uselessly expended through the incompetency and errors of the subordinate engi neers on the construction of the line between Longview and Dallas, and on the trans-continental division. When the head Is corrupt, the other members of the body are not pure. During those flush times the anom aly was seen of tho Chief Engineer of the Texas & Pacific Railway Com pany, occupying also the position of the California & Texas Construction Company’s Chief Engineer. That is, he was contractor and engineer at tho same time. The California & Texas Construc tion Company is now, thanks to tho panic, no more. A more corrupt set were never gathered together. Wo do not either wish, or expect, t hat all of the high offices on the road should be filled by Southern men ; but the company can hardly believe that a Democratic House will consent to aid any enterprise that would wield so much power if placed on a successful footing, when it re tains at its heads such men as Scott, Dodge and Col. John W. Forney. If the Texas A Pacific Railway Con’tpa ny desire the support of the South ern Delegation, we will whisper a few words of advice into their ears; and that is this; They must give tho South an equal show in the selections of its officers, and the wliolo Board must be men of gpotleee reputation. There is yet left a sufficiency of good material to meet our just re quirements. Let them elect siteli men us Governor Magoffin, of Ken tucky, or Col. John T. Grant, of At lanta,as their President, and such un engineer for their chief us Muj. Geo. U. Wilson, formerly chief engineer of the Southern Pacific Railroad, or Col. Geo. H. Hazlelmrst, of Macon, (two of the most eminent engineers in the United States,) and the people will be satisfied tlffit the money raised on the sale of the bonds, which the Govern ment is asked to endorse, will go toward the building of the road, and not toward enriching its officers. We shall have something more to say on this subject when the T. & P. B. R. bill is brought before Congress, and if a lot of thieves are placed at the head of the company you can count us “agin” the bill from its very inception. Sooner than see the great national highway built by fraud and Credit Mobiliers, we would rather see the gate to the Pacific barred forever against us. The Territory Involved. One of our exchanges has thrown together the peoples which are likely , to be immediately involved in the re volt of the Turkish province of Her zegovina, should the insurrection spread. It will bo of interest to some of our readers, and is reproduced as follows: The teritory north of the Balkan range, which sympathizes with tlie revolt in Turkey, is divided into the following States and provinces: Herzegoviniu 200,000 Montenegro 200,000 Turkish Croatia 1,000,000 Servia 1.200,000 Bosnia 2.000,000 Bulgaria 2,500.000 Roumania (Wulluehia and Moldavia) 4,000,000 Total 11,000,000 Niue millions of these are Chris tians of the Greek faith; there are one million Catholics, and one hun dred thousand Jews. The territory embraced contains about one hun dred and forty thousand square miles. —Mr. Tinker, who was killed by lightning in Brunswick on Tuesday last, was from England, und came to tliis country when thirteen years of age.

It is not often that a Republican paper finds aught to commend in Southern Democratic administration. Tho subjoined tribute, therefore, coming from the source it does, is especially gratifying. Gov. Smith unquestionably merits high praise for tho marked discretion which lie evinced in the midst of the recent excitement in the eastern part of the State, and “we shudder to think" what would have ensued had ho fol lowed the counsels of those who clamored for tho calling out of the military. All praiso, then, to our Governor for his conduct on this deli cate occasion! The negro is now free and knows well ho has nothing to gain by insur rection. Prompt arrests, followed by speedy and fair trials, is a sufficient treatment for any “ outbreak ” busi ness we shall bo troubled with. Let our people continue to treat the ne gro justly and kindly und we can afford, as the New York Herald has it, to put our tongues to our cheeks when we next hear about negro in surrections : It is not often that such scenes of popular excitement as were witnessed last week In Eastern Georgia are al lowed to pass away without the shed ding of blood. Tliut tho whites and blacks in the lately disturbed section are not murdering each other to-day is owing to the ealmness and discre tion of Gov. Smith and to a general respect for law and order, no less than to that kindly feeling between the better class of men in either race which has been displayed by the people of Georgia in many ways dur ing the past few years, and which Inis gained for their State a reputation for good order like that of Virginia and North Carolina. Our special dis patch from Augusta, which gives the only connected and intelligible ac count of the recent scare yet pub lished, shows that tho apprehensions of tlio whites were not groundless, but that the negroes who were at the j bottom of the plot wore probably ac tuated by desire for notoriety and power more than by any malicious [ motive, while many who were com- j milted to the movement were blindly following these self-constituted lead-; ers. The spread of fear and susni- j cion among the whites and the whole-1 sale arrests of negroes aggravated • the dangers of the .situation, so that we shudder to think what would have j followed had not the former called in j Judge Johnson instead of Judge I Lynch to bring the incendiaries to justice. As it is, the persons now lying in the comity juiis may expect a fair trial, and the punishment of those who are guilty will give assur ance of iiermarient peace. Extracts from the speech of Hon. John F. Swift, in Son Francisco, on “The Contest of the Great Monopolies Against the People Competition is indeed a most use ful thing in regulating prices and keeping them within Bounds; but you must take care and have the com petition, else the problem fails. In the New England States of this Union there is still enough competi tion left to keep prices reasonably low. Even in the West t here is still ranch competition. In Wisconsin and Illinois, where railroad laws have been passed, there remains so much competition tliut it is possible that so far us prices are concerned, tho statutes have not re duced them below what; they are kept bv the ordinary laws of trade. The entire Northwestern Slate- are traversed and cut u]> in every direc tion by independent, and as yet com peting, lines of ruilrouds. It is sur rounded and crossed by great lakes and splendid navigable rivers. Up to this time no railroad corporation in the great West has interfered in either ocean or inland water naviga tion, as has been done In California. The Government has in no instance built up iu that country one eollossal railroad system and given it away to a few favored individuals, thereby de pressing nil others and enabling them to control nil the transporta tion by water or by land. ONE OF VANXpKItBU/r’s DF.CHEEH, Last year a meeting was held in the private parlor of a railroad com pany, in New York city. Venderbilt and four or five railroad magnates were present. It. was rather a fes live and pleasant, affair, at least to those present. A great; deal of cham pagne was drank, and many cigars were smoked. But before the uion arohs rose up from the table, they had levied an annual tax upon the Western States of over s:)ri,uoo,iKio. They hud done ttiis by the simple act of agreeing toil combination, where by the freight on wheat was advanced half a cent per ton a mile. And this sort of thing is not confined to the Atlantic States alone. This very Spring, not above six mouths ago, t he Central Pacific Railroad, by mere scratch of the pen, so to speak, ad vanced their tariffs of freight so as to raise upon this coast, according to estimates of competent judges, SB,- 000,000 per year more than Inst year. In taxing iis this vast sum, ought they not give us a reason? if it is as return upon capital invested, is there any reason why they should not be willing to prove it ? A 1,1. MONOPOLIES Mt'.ST BE llEOfl.lTEl) BY LAW. The People’s Independent party tnks the ground that all monopolies should be regulated by law. We hold that unlimited power given to any man to take other people’s money must in the nature of tilings be abused. The proposition is based upon the universal experience of j mankind. Give any human institu tion, whether it be a corporation holding industry and commerce in subjection through the monopoly of some condition necessary to society, or whether it is a despot ruling the State at his own unrestricted caprice, in the end the only limit that will ever be placed upon their exactions will be the point where tho commu nity is rendered loss able to pay. They may in their selfishness pre serve the goose that lays the golden egg from actual death, but they will starve her till she hasn't a feather to fly with. Let the reader ponder on what the Central Railroad combination is do ing against the interests of Colum bus. “You must take care and have the competition, else the goose that lays the golden egg will be starved so that she will not have a feat her to soar upwards with.” Thiv gloomy report concerning the cotton eropof Clay county is from theCuthbert Apjietd of Friday: "The cotton crop of this county has been so seriously injured by rust that we cannot hope for more than a two thirds crop, and if the rains, which have been so general, continue but a few days, we oapitallyjdoubt even if a half crop be made.” Grin rut Toombs. Among tlie many distinguished guests at the White Sulphur Is Gener al Toombs. Wo have never met a | man who possessed so much of that I indefinable attractiveness which wo endeavor to describe by tho term per sonal magnetism. There is something very fascina ting about this type of tlie unrecon structed; a frankness of manner, boldness of utterance and originality of thought and expression which en chain the listener. Y’ou forget, his political unorthodxy, you forget how peculiarly ho is un object for a six teenth amendment, or of special mis sionary work, or of a day of fasting and prayer throughout the politico religious churches of the land, and feel that you are in tho presence of a man who has been always a leader among men, a man bigoted ns John Knox as to his faith, and in all other respects 88 generous and broad mind ed as the Hulifax who never deserted a sinking cause.— Von Piatfe Capital. A New Step in Journalism. The Erening Telegram of yesterday was issued at ten o’clock in the morning, containing a special cable dispatch giving a full account of the London money market at one o’clock on the same day. This our afternoon con temporary is able to do because of tho difference In time between Lon don and New York. It is a dis tinct feature of tho progress of mod ern journalism. We should think that a report of this kind, gathered by accurate correspondents, and in the hands of every merchant before he begins business, would be inval uable. It will especially prevent any attempt to change the price of stocks for gambling purposes, as has so fre quently been done with the other re ports. It will, furthermore, give for two cents the price of the Telegram the same news which is furnished by private news companies to sub scribers at a very large rate of sub scription per annum.
