Cotfee.—A Now York commercial
paper gives the returns showing that
there are now 259,872 bags of coffee
in the United States, against 63,793
bags to corresponding dates of last
year and 53,920 in 1873. In other
words the “cornerors” in coffee have
accumulated a stook nearly two
hundred thousand bags greater t han
usual, and are holding it up for still
higher prices. Should Congress, in
accordance with President Grant’s
recommendation, re-imposo an im
port duty on coffee, the price of the
stock in speculators’ hands would at
once advance to the amount of tho
tax, but the importation would cease
for some time, and thus tho coffee
"ring” and not the Government
would be benefited. Tho people
would simply pay the duty to the
speculator* and not to tho Govern
ment.
.Startling Revelations Promised.-
A Washington special says that some
very startling developments are
forthcoming in connection with tho
whiskey frauds in St. Louis, Chicago
and Milwaukee. It is said that three
United States Senators aro under in
dictment, besides eight or ton Con
gressmen. Of the latter four or five
are now in the House. They are not
all Western men, but some are men
from the East. Two editors are said
to be in the ring, and a very promi
nent German politician in Chicago.
Western 'detectives say that the
frauds will cover about $15,000,000,
and tho territory covered by the op
erations will reach from Now Orleans
to St. Paul. Some people aro dis
posed to look upon the affair as a gi
gantic conspiracy.
The Wamsutta corporation are
building and have nearly completed
another largo cotton mill near New
Bedford. Tt is of brick, four stories,
433 by 94 feet, with 50,000 spindles,
and cost, with tenement houses for
employees, $750,000. This does not
indicate that cotton manufacture is
unprofitable in New England even in
the present dull state of trade.
Col. E. Hulbert, still well remem
bered in Georgia for his “sharp and
quick work” in making Bullock Gov
ernor, and afterwards for his man
agement of the State road, has un
dertaken the building of a narrow
gauge railroad from Kansas City to
St. Louis. He estimates that he can
do It for $4,250 per mile, which is
cheaper than any railroad in the
country.

Tho New York Herald has consult
ed Prof. Lister (tho astrologer who
lately furnished it Gen. Grant’s horo
sogpe) in referenco to the where
abouts of Wm. M. Tweed; and the
Professor has given It tho horoscope
of Tweed, which tho Herald pub
lishes In the form of a diagram with
accompanying explanations. Every
thing is determined by the positions
and movements of the planets. Ac
cording to this hcrosoope, Venus and
Saturn represent Tweed. The plan
for his escape was matured on the
25th of October, when the planet Sa
turn turned direct in motion, and
from that time to tho day of his es
cape hlsjfriends were watching an
opportunity. Venus is now in an
angle; consequently Tweed is still in
the city of Now York, and the Pro
fessor locates him In a basement or
cellar a little southwest from his old
home. The position of tho Moon and
Mars wears an evil aspect for Tweed,
and denotes that he will soon bo cap
tured.
All this may possibly turn out to
bo correct, but If It does, we shall al
ways believe that the prognostication
was effected In a manner similar to
that of an old negro “conjurer”
named Charles, who lived in Girard,
Ala., in “slavo times.” Charles’
conjuring was effected by means of a
cross-mark on the ground, at which
he expectorated or threw a stick.
Venus and Ha turn were beyond the
range of his philosophy. On one oc
casion a fine shote was stolen from
its owner’s pen In Girard, and the
owner, after searching in vain for it
during the morning, determined to
try Charles’ skill in conjuring.
Charles, after the promise of a liber
al Toward, adjusted his cross-mark,
stick, etc., and that one
half of the hog might bo found under
tho bed of Pompey, another negro of
the vicinity. Pompey’s houso was
thereupon searched, and half of the
shote found there as predicted. The
next proceeding was to extort from
Pompey u disclosure of the where
abouts of the other half, and this
was no hard mutter after he had been
informed of Charles’ conjuring. He
told the owner that tho othor half
might be found in Charles’ house,
and a search verified this prediction
also, thus proving the possession by
Pompey of conjuring power equal
to that of his colleague of tho stick
and cross-mark.
THE HINTING OF A,FANATIC.
We learn from the New York pa
pers that on Sunday night last, in the
Fleet Street Colored Methodist
Church of Brooklyn, one “Rev. Mr.
Gloucester” delivered an inflamma
tory and ranting harangue against
the hanging of tho three negroes who
were executed on the Friday previ
ous for the murder of a podler in
Westchester county. Ho said that
“it was a problem to him why three
colored men should be hanged for the
murder of ono white man, while In
Brooklyn four colored men had been
murdered and not one of tho white
murderers had expiated his crime.”
He referred particularly to the oaso
of Dolan, white, who had been con
demned for murder, but whose
friends were exerting themselves to
have his punishment commuted, and
ho exolaimed, “Ah, my brothers, the
secret of the whole thing is right
here—he is white, while the men
who died on the scaffold on Friday
were black. Weston, Thompson and
Ellis were arbitrarily arraigned,arbi
trarily convicted and sentenced, and
arbitrarily hanged. There will not
bo fair and equal justice for the col
ored man until he can be tried by
men of his own raco.”
To say nothing of the impropriety
(If not the sacrilege) of such an ap
peal from the pulpit, on a Sabbath
day, to the passions and prejudices of
an ignorant raoa, the falsehood of
this preacher’s insinuations were
most glaring. The throe negroes not
only had on their persons, when ap
prehended, some of tho goods of the
pedler whom they had murdered, but
one of them made a full confession
of the murder, whieh was read from
the gallows on the day of the execu
tion. There never was a murder
more clearly proved, ahd it was a
most unprovoked, premeditated and
dastardly murder for the purpose of
robbery. Tho truth is, then, that
this Radical fanatic was only con
demning tho hanging because the
murderers were black, just as he was
complaining of the delay in hanging
a white murderer, simply because he
was white. To what base uses are
even tho pulpits and the Sabbath put
to excito tho animosities of races,
sects and sections—these being the
inflammary material with which Rad
icalism is fed and sustained!
“I’m going homo to raise h—l,” is
tho remark attributed to Pinehbaek,
when he left Washington for New
Orleans on Friday last, discouraged
at his prospects for getting a soat in
the Senate. That kind of a condi
tion has frequently been “raised” in
tho South by Radioal deviltry within
the last ton years. But it was not for
the Injury of the class against which
Pinch is now hurling anathemas.
His power to hurt that class is over.
He now proposes to empty vials of
wrath on t.ho head of the Radical
party, and especially the carpet-bag
gentry. His ability to do this is un
deniable, his provocation clear, and
his opportunity a most favorable
one. We trust that his achievements
in tho line proposed will elicit the
applause of Old Nick himself.
The Washington Chronicle—third
term apologist—is sneering at Dis
trict Attorney Dyer, who prosecuted
in the whiskey riug oases. Is this an
intimation to Dyer that the fate of
Henderson will be his if he pushes
the investigation too far ?
There is one Government office
where it is money in the occupant’s
pocket not to steal the revenue, and
that is tlie postofflee at Mulgrave,
Canada, where the gross annual re
ceipts are $9.01 and the salary $lO.

A Review of Tom in Imu loner Jam**’
Manual on Mhcep Husbandry In&cor-
Rf.
On pages 4and 5 of Thos. P. Janos’
Manual on Hheep Husbandry in Geor
gia will bo found tho following:
"Correspondents report that 100 sheep
regularly folded will fertilize go as to
double the yield of crops eight aores a
year.” At this rate even the number at
present in Georgia will fertilize 25,644
acres.”
“Wo will suppose this area to be planted
In cotton, and that without tho sheep ma
nure It would produce one half of a bale of
cotton per aero. The increase on this area
would ho 12,772 bales, worth, at SSO not per
bale, $038,000.”
As I am unacquainted with the
manurial benefits from sheep hus
bandry, I have nothing to say con
troverting Mr. Janes’ statement in
reference thereto. I, however, deny
tho truth of his assumption—that
one acre of Georgia land planted in
cotton will yield one half of a bale.
On the contrary, I affirm that the av
erage yield of lands planted in cot
ton in Georgia (including manured
as well as unmanuredj, dons not ex
ceod one bale weighing S(X) pounds to
every four acres—or only one-fourth
of a bale per acre.
It requires uo reference to statistics
to support my affirmation. All prac
tical planters know that the yield is
not greater than I state it. I believe
the Commissioner will, upon second
thought, admit its correctness; then,
it follows that tho increased yield of
cotton from the manure of sheep, as
stated by the Commissioner, must be
reduced one-half from SO3B,OCX) to
$319,300; then, again, the cost of the
cultivation of the 25,544 acres and
gathering the crop therefrom will
not be less than ten dollars per acre.
I submit to the Commissioner if the
benefits from the sheep manure
should not be charged with a portion
of that amount?
It is useless to pursue the argu
ment further upon this lijie, for 1 af
firm the whole benefit, whatever it
may be, derived from tho manure of
the sheep is included in the state
ment of the Commissioner, “that the
average cost of raising a pound of
wool is only six cents!” In other
words, the correspondents of the
Commissioner, In estimating the cost
of raising a pound of wool, gave sheep
husbandry credit for the value of the
manure.
The wording of question No. 13
is evidence of the truth of my affir
mation, which is as follows: "What
is tho cost ofa pound of wool after
charging the sheep with all the ex
penses and crediting them with the
lambs, mutton, manure,” dce.f
It is legitimate aud reasonable to
suppose that the parties addressed
responded fully to tho question as
propounded, but what tho commis
sioner says on page 3 of Ids manual
proves the truth of my afiirma
tion.
“In answer to question No. 13, tho aver
age cost of raising a pound of wool is only
six cents, while the average price for
which the unwashed wool is sold is 33 q
or 27 H cents net.”
On same page tho Commissioner says :
“The average price of stocn sheep is $2.58
cents per head.” “The average yield of
unwashed wooltoltho sheep Is 3.44 pounds,
which at 27 >j cents net gives an average
clear income in wool from each sheep of
94 cents.”
The quotations made from tho
Manual establish this fact; that all
the profits from sheep-husbandry is
less than the value of wool by six (6J
cents per pound; 2 that the average
clear income from sheep is ninety
four cents.
The Commissioner further says—
“from the answers to the question
propounded ho deirives the informa
tion that “the average profit on cap
ital invested in sheep in Georgia is
63 per cent.”
The quotation, from the Manual
establish that the average value of
stock sheep is $2.58 per head, and 94
cents per head was all the net profits
realized. A capital of $2.58 In sheop
husbandry yields a net income of 94
cents or 36j per cent. only. I beg the
reader to remember that the above
calculation is rnado upon the average
valuo only of the stock sheep. Will
tho Commissioner say whether the
value of the stock sheep is all the
capital used or needed in the business
of sheep husbandry?
It seems clear to my mind
that the Commissioner’s statement
in the connection and manner made
—that “the average annual profit, on
capital invested in sheep in Georgia
is 63 per centum,” is sophistical and
delusive, if not untrue.
The Commissioner’s account of Da
vid Ayres, of Mitchell county, is
more sophistical, delusive, and—if
obnoxious to tho charge—more un
true. Ayres owns 3,500 head of sheep,
which he grazes upon lands worth
from $1 50 to $lO per acre, and real
izes therefrom, annually, “a clear
profit of 90 per cent, on the money
and labor invested in sheep.”
lam curious to know the net an
nual income from the 3,500 sheep.
To arrive at, it, the calculation is as
follows: 3,500 sheep at $2 58—average
price in Georgia—is $9,030; now mul
tiply tho capital by 90, the rate of per
cent., and it gives $8,127 as Ayres’ not
income.
I ask the Commissioner to say
whether the calculation is correct. I
think the capital is more than the
value of the sheep, and therefore
again ask the Commissioner to say
whether the value of the sheep is the
only capital Ayres has invested'?
To fully expose the delusiveness of
the statement in question, I will sup
pose that Ayers, with $9,030, invested
in sheep, continues the business for
twenty years. His income Ist year
at 90 per cent, will be $8,127. Now I
ask some Grauger to compound it
annually for the time (twenty years.)

ÜBM'.
FrornAh'- Savannah N< vra, M.]
During Monday evening, an occur
rence at the court-house, shortly after
the adjournment of tho Superior
Gourt. which was generally discuss
ed, and by many with considerable
feeling. It was stated that as tho
Solicitor Geuefal was walking out of
the corridor at the President street
entrance he was approached by Mr.
Philip M. Russell, Jr., who, it Is al
leged, was accompanied by several
members of his family, and who,
after some abusive language, struck
him in the face. Tho only two wit
nesses to tho attack, besides those
concerned, that we encountered,
were very reticent, and hence we de
cided to make no mention of the af
fair until it should be brought before
the court, which course, we learned,
would be pursued.
The matter of the assault was
brought to the attention of Judge
Tompkins, of the Superior Court,
yesterday, and the following is a ver
batim report of the proceedings,
which will enable tiie public to form
an opinion regarding the affair.
Upon the opening of the court, af
ter the usual preliminaries, Cot. Al
bort It. Lamar, the Solicitor General,
arose and said:
May it please the Court : Before the
grand jury retires I desire, in my
plasm and us the first oflleer of this
court, to make tho following state
ment:
Yesterday, as I left the court-room
during a recess, I was assailed on ac
count of official action by Philip M.
Russell, jr., Isaac Itussell, Waring
Russell, jr., Waring Russell, sr., R.
Wayne Russell, l’hiliu M. Russell,sr.,
and Thos, J. Hheftail. I wus follow
ed by these purties from the court
room and accosted on the street just
at tiie court-house door. I wasabusiAl
by Philip M. Russell, jr., in the most
opprobrious terms, and struck in the
face by the same man, while the bal
ance stood around with their hands
upon their armH. If I had attempted
to use the privilege that the law ac
corded mo on this occasion, I had not
been here now to make this state
ment to the court, ff I had yielded
to the impulses of a mun, anti of the
moment,, I would not be here. If the
premeditated attempt to assassinate
me had been successful, it would
have been only accomplished in or
der that, crime and criminals might
go unwhipped of justice. The only
hands ever laid upon me, even in an
ger or reproof, savo this man’s, have
long since been stilled by death, and
in the deep humiliation which I feel
I have but this consolation—that a
father and mother ure not here to
share it.
If I had yielded to the impulses of
a man when time for preparation had
been given, and had sunk tho officer
in the man, I would iiave been ar
raigned at the bar of this court to
day for the violation of that law
which I have solemnly sworn to main
tain and uphold.
I have determined, if your Honor
please, at my own instance, and by
the advice or wiser and cooler heads
than my own, to ask that tho majesty
of the law be vindicated in its officer
rather than that an officer of the law
should attempt to vindicate the sanc
tity of his own person.
As Judge Tompkins turned to ad
dress the jury, Mr. PhilipM. Russell,
jr., arose and said :
“May it please the court”
Judge Tompkins—l desire to hear
nothing.
Mr. Isaac Russell—lf your Honor
please, I
Judge Tompkins - No argument is
necessary. 1 desire to hear none.
Turning then to the Grand Jury,
Judge Tompkins charged them ns
follows:
Mr. Foreman and Gentleman of the
Jury: Your attention and that of
tho court having been in this solemn
and unusual manner called to the of
fense charged upon certain parties,
four of whom aro attorneys at law, it
becomes your duty and more—your
privilege'indeed —to investigate the
charge. It is neither for me nor a
petit, jury now to sav anything con
cerning this grave charge; but it is
for you, under your oaths as grand
jurors, fully to investigate it. You
nave sworn, as grand jurors, to take
cognizance of ail such matters and
things as aro brought to your atten
tion, either by the State’s officer or
otherwise. Tills matter lias been
brought, to your attention in a very
unusual and impressive way—by the
highest prosecuting officer of the dis
trict,. He has risen in his place in
court, and charged eeruiin parties
with assailing him for the reason
that he had prosecuted properly, and
perhaps vigorously, where the law
demanded it.
If, as prosecuting officer of this
court, the learned Solicitor General
had so far forgotten himself as to
have persecuted, under color of his
office, the highest, and most able
magistrate in the State, and a mem
ber of the highest and most respect
ed family in the city, still it would
have been an unmitigated and out
rageous offense for him to have been
assaulted In the way, in whieh he
says it occurred, for the laws and
doors of this court were open to the
person persecuted and ho should
have come here and gone before you
for rodress. This statement of facts
having been made known to you by
the Solicitor General it is your duty
to investigate the charges, and to
call him and such other witnesses as
lie may designate, and it tho al
legations be true to make a present
ment for riot. Gentlemen, Ido not
leave it to your discretion or sense
of justice, Vint as the highest officer
of this court I charge you that it is
your duty to make this investigation.
Whatever may be tho result of your
investigation is another matter, or
what the petit jury may do after a
bill is found is another matter. But
if such things as the Solicitor Gener
al has laid to the charge of these per
sons are to be tolerated in this com
munity. wo might as well raze the
walls of this court, house, let the offi
cers of the law resign, and turn over
the administration of criminal justice
in this country to other hands. The
jury may retire.
Mr. T. R. Mills, Jr.- May it please
your Honor. I woiftd like to confer
with a member of the grand jury in
regard to another ease.
Judge Tompkins—Mr. Mills, your
request is most inopportune. Let
the jury retire.
A reference to the regular court
proceeeings will show that the par
ties named were specially presented
by the grand jury on the charge of
riot. They appeared in court after
the presentments wero read and tend
ed bonds in the sum of SI,OOO each
for appearance at trial. Subsequent
ly they were arrested on a peace war
rant issued by Judge Tompkins at
the instance of Col. Lamar, and gave
bond also in this ease.
The longer I live,’ the more I am
certain that the great difference be
tween men—between the feeble and
the powerful, the great and the in
significant—is energy, invinoible de
termination,—a purpose, once fixed,
and then death or victory! That
quality will do anything that can be
clone in this world; ana no talents,
no circumstances, no opportunity,
will make a two-legged creature a
man without it,—Powell Buxton.

In Now York and Pennsylvania
