The Wall-street speculators managed to turn that speech to account, in running up the premium on gold and knocking down the prices of stocks. To add to the excitement, bogus dispatches from Washington have been frcdy exhibited m re? lation to our critical relations with Spain on the Cuban question. As soon as theso Mun chausenisms have dono their appointed work in depressing values two or three per cent., ?everything will be serene again, and our for? eign relations will be pronounced all right." -The Marshall, Texas, Republican, of the 9th inst., gives the particulars of an affair in Bask County that forms a climax of horrors. The circumstances aro as follows: "A young man by the nome of Colonel Green, who is said tb have been a new settler in the county, left Henderson, on Saturday evening last, in a state o? intoxication, for home. When be got about seven miles from town, on the Marshall road, lie stoppedat tho Widow Griffin place, wheio a body of negroes were making a crop, and order? ed his supper. Whilo ho was eating it he was seized by five negroes, who tied bia hands lt hind him, and dragged him about half a mil aud hung him. They trcatod him very bruta ly, throwing him over Ihe fences as they read ed them, bruising his face and otherwise tua treating hiLi. While he was barging they rollo back a log, dug a trench, threw him in it b -for life was extinct, tnd then rolled tbc log bac to its for uer place. Two of thc negroes wer preachers. The principal one engaged in th murder ( Julius Jonos) stood by with a gue dirocting the others, and tolling them lie woulc kill the first one that flinched. Thc Ba.uc ne gro went the next day to Henderson, preachci a sermon, and baptized fourteen negroes Green is represented as a refinod, intelligent accomplished gentleman, but who occasion ally, unfortunately, got intoxicated. Hi friends, missing him, it seems found his hors< at this plantation, and his hat at one of th cabins. On searching for him, they traced hi footsteps upon the route he had boon carried and found a letter that had bsen dropped ou of his pocket. Five negroes were arrested who confessed the crime, and were taken b Henderson and placed in jail. This was 01 Monday. 01 Tuesday night, about ll o'clock a mob went to the jail, and hung every one o them on the public square fronting each sidi of the courthouse, the two preachers together. CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 23, 1869. --?-"-" Thc Ma jr Elections. Until the general elections which takt jplace in Ootober, 1870, there can be nt thorough change in the political and phys ical complexion of the General Assemblj of the State. Elections will, however, b< held from time to time to fill vacanciet caused by the death or resignation of mem? bers, which will give an opportunity of in? creasing, in some degree, the white strength of the Lower House. There are, besides, many county and to wnship offices to be filled, and so important is it to obtain as rapidly as possible the control of our local affairs, that the most earnest efforts should bc made to elect in every instance a known and responsible citizen. The county aud township officers are brought into immedi? ate contact with the people. They have great power in encouraging good feeling or promoting dissension. It rests with them, in a great degree, to determine what shall be the county taxation. ' And apart from the intrinsic valuo of the office, and apart from the influenoe which it may, exert upon the publio mind, we hold it to be of thc greatest consequents to show at once that we do intend that the State shall not al? ways be governed by ignorance and vice. This cannot better be done than by electing good men to every office for which aa elec? tion may be held, and ^his must be done without regard to the apparent importance of the office. - Small victories will keep our people together. They will encourage them to be hopeful and confident, aud, in this way, will have a moral power, a bracing foroe, out of all proportion to the intrinsic value of the offices themselves. A begin? ning s'aoulJ be made at once, and the occa? sion presents itself in the elections ordered to be held on the 25th May. On that day two county commissioners and a corbaer' wll? be el?of?d In" Abbeville and in Georgetown; a county commissioner and a school commissioner iu Barnwell; a judge of the probate oourt, a coroner and a county commissioner in Fairfield; a school commissioner and a coroner in Anderson, in Laurens, in Orangeburg and in Richland; a coroner in Chester, in Chesterfield, in Edgefield, in Oconec, in Eickens, in Sum? ter and in Union; a probate judge and a coroner iu Collet on; a clerk of the ' pourt aud a coroner iu Darlington; a county com? missioner and a coroner in Kershaw, in Lexington and in York, and a county com? missioner in Korry. Every one of these offices is important, and none more so than that.of judge of the probate oourt and county commissioner* The county commissioners have jurisdiction over roads, highways, ferries, bridges, "aud in all mat? hers relating to taxes and disbursements ?of money for county purposes, and in "every other case that may be necessary to "the internal improvement and local con "oerns in their respective counties.'' They raise money, they apportion taxes, and have the power to levy a tax of three mills on the dollar, which would represent a total oounty taxation of over half a million of dollars. . Their authority has apparently very little limit other than their own dis? cretion; and it surely is a duty which we owe to ourselves as business men, as men who desire that the State should prosper, as men who wish that the freedmen may have full work at fair wages, that we should open this commercial campaign without a moment's delay, and strive as hard to elect the county commissioners, probate judges, coroners, and others, as, though we were again on the eve of a Presidential election. We do not regard the election of these officers aB a party question; but as long as ninety-nine oue-hundredths of thc respec? table white men of the State are Democrats, we must expect it to be Baid that what we want is not a responsible candidate, but a Democratic victory. This we cannot help. Taking it for granted that wc will only vote for men, who know what their official duties are, and who have sense euough to dis? charge them properly, where can we go outside of the Democratic party ? This may be an embarrassing conclusion to come to; but it is the truth, nevertheless, and it may be said further, that if we were willing to arrange a mixed ticket the Radicals would foroe the direct question by nominating a straight party ticket. These matters of detail may, however, be Bafely left in charge of the citizens of the different counties. All that we desire at this moment is to impress upon them the necessity of obtaining possession as rap? idly as possible of every elective office in the State. Hitherto the Radicals have had things pretty much their own way. What they win now they must win, by hard fight? ing, and not by the supineness of our peo? ple. Every county will, we trust, begin the work at once, if they labor quietly and steadily, there will be a tale to tell on the 26th of May which will encourage the whole State, and teach the Radical party that the revenues and wealth of South Car? olina will not for long be controlled by the native-born adventurer or the scheming foreign knave. Corn and Cotton in Georgia. We see it stated iu the Columbus and Macon papers that the crop in Georgia thia year is about equally divided between corn and cotton. Should the seasons bc favora? ble, corn will be lower than it has been for ten years. It is generally manured and the stand was never better. At present, it is too early to say much about cotton. The Macon Journal says emphatically : "There "will not be any more land in cotton in "South Western Georgia this year than "there was last." It is not yet too late to plant corn in South Carolina. Half corn and half cotton should be our motto. We do not wish to be prophets of evil ; but we know that, unless we make breadstuffs enough to relieve us from the necessity of buying them in the North and WeBt, the cotton crop of 1869 1870 will do the State at large, the planters and the farmers, but little lasting good. The money received for the cotton will be paid away for corn, and so will end the chapter. Fertilizers and General Freights. The following tables show the quantity of fertilizers and of freight of all kinds shipped over the South Carolina Railroad in the three months ending March 31, 1860. FERTILIZERS.

The simultaneous movements at St. Louis and New Orleans, of which we have had tele? graphic accounts, in connection with thc grain trade, are nothing less than an effort to divert the grain expoits of the Northwest from tbo routo via Chicago, Buffalo and Now York to Europo, and make tho Mississippi River tho great channel for this trade. The movement seems to have started in St. Louis, whieh is ? 9 anciousto become tho great grain em pon um of t.ie Mississippi Talley. Meetings havo been held, glowing speeches m ide, and considerable money subscribed for the promotion of that object. Thc Missouri Democrat publishes in prominent type a list of thc subscribers under tho caption, "The Roll of Honor." A meelina: was held at thc Merchants' Exchange on thc 13th, at which additional subscriptions to thc St. Louis Grain Association were taken up, and speeches were delivered which illustrate the prevalent loeling of those engaged in the movement. It was declared that they want to oxport grain to Europe, and th.it Iowa, Minne? sota, Southern Illinois and Wisconein were tired of being swindled by Chicago speculators, railroad combinations, New York middle-men, &c. They were begging to trado_ with St. Louis, aud wherever they sell they will buy. It wa3 urgod, therefore, that moro capital bc put into tho business. Mr. Standard said that grain oxn bo TancTfd-tn-fifvovJpWI WS^SIieoui* BOBtQ cheaper via St. Louis and New Orleans than through New York ; to-day it costs fifteen and sixteen cents on the Erie Canal alone, and it is less than that from St. Louis to New Orleans. At the meeting at New Orleans, on thc 17th, of the Chamber ol Commerce, "the special com? mittee reported it favor of organizing a grain association, with a capital of $200,000, the directors and officers to bo elected as soon as $50,000 is subscribed." Ten thousand dollars, we ore told, was subscribed on the spot towards carrying out this project. It is evident that tho movement is au comest one all along the Mississippi. St. Louis already bas grain ele? vators on both sides of the river, and if thc present project is camed out, the rail roa ls coming into St. Louis will bc run so close to the river that cars can be unloaded at onco upon steamboats and barges. ?gars, CP?HUTO, &r.
